[/u]
Kurt Angle VS. Bret “Hit Man” Hart – champion
[/center]
Kurt comes out first. He comes out with his 1996 Olympics Gold Medal on and his 2005 Ring Stock tournament Gold Medal. He puts his hands in the air to set off his outstanding pyro. He gets in the ring and bounces up and down in a circle with his hands out as if he is the best ever. He gets up on the turnbuckles to show off his medals to the fans. He gets back in the ring and hands his medals to the ref. He loosens up for his match. Bret’s music hits and he comes out decked in mostly pink leather coat with black shoulder tassels. It also has his named spelled out on his coat in black with 2 time Undisputed Champion of the World underneath it. He steps in the ring as his pyro explodes above the ring and isle. He opens his coat to reveal the beautiful undisputed belt. He is wearing his traditional pink and black shades. He shows off to all four sides of fans. He takes off his jacket and hands it to the man outside. He is decked out in all pink ring attire speckled with black raindrop spots. He removes his belt and puts his shades up. He throws the belt over his shoulder and comes to the center of the ring to hear the ref explain the rules to the two of them.

The rules of the Iron Man Triathlon are simple to some but complicated to others. In match one, regular wrestling rules apply. All three matches will be 30 minutes in length. In the first match, all falls, submissions, disqualifications, and count outs will be awarded to the man earning them. The man with the most decisions will win the first match but not the entire Triathlon. The score he earns will be added to as the other matches continue. In match two, the rules will now be submission match rules. There will be no count outs, disqualifications, or pin falls. The only decisions in the submission match will be submissions. The winner of that match will not be the winner of the whole even if he won the first match. The submission decisions will add to the regular decisions to be the current overall score. In match three, the rules will all be thrown out the window. Submissions will no longer count. The only way to earn a decision is the beat your opponent until he can’t answer the count of ten. After one decision is made the ref will begin counting on the next one. After all 3 match scores are added together the winner will be decided on who has the most decisions. If, by chance, it is a tie a sudden death will take place. We also have a special type of match for the sudden death. They will wrestle for 6 more minutes in a RPW rules match. The Iron Man Triathlon was designed to be the most physically and mentally demanding contests to determine whom the ultimate wrestling champion truly is. All aspects of wrestling have been covered, so may the best man win.

Bret kisses his undisputed belt even though he will get it back at the end of the first match. He surrenders it to the ref, shakes Kurt’s hand, and goes back outside to give his shades away to a lucky fan. He gets in the ring and the bell rings. The Iron Man Triathlon is under way. Bret and Kurt circle each other then tie up hard. They struggle at it trying to get the advantage but neither is successful. They both break it off then circle each other again. They tie up again and struggle fiercely and circle at the same time. Kurt pushes Bret into the corner where the ref calls for the break. Both men break without incident and tie up again. Bret shoves Kurt into the corner and both break again. Both men circle each other again and go for the tie up again. This time Bret hits a duck under and swings around to a waist lock. Kurt grabs his hands and steps forward enough to hit a standing switch. He quickly drops to a leg, picks it up and grabs the heel. Bret turns away and has his knee bent while getting shoved right into the rope. The ref calls for the break and we are right where we started.

Bret hits a switch right when he hits the mat and Kurt rolls around with sit outs and attempted switches. Bret simply follows him until he stands up and gets in the ropes.

He goes for a leapfrog but Bret grabs him out of the air and power slams him over. The fans instantly come alive. Kurt gets his shoulder up and Bret picks him up. He sends him into the ropes but it gets reversed. Kurt goes for a knee lift into his gut but he flips over the knee and rolls him with a schoolboy roll up. He kicks out immediately and Bret kicks him as he gets up. He spins him around into a neck slide and the ref watches the shoulders closely and counts 1, 2, 3! Bret gets another fall. However, Kurt yells at the ref right away and demands an instant reply. Although, the Undertaker says that rule will be in effect, he hasn’t officially brought it in. The ref’s allow it though. When it is replayed it is clear that Kurt’s legs drape across the second rope as he is counted down. The official over turns the decision. The time is counting down during this debate and Bret was respectful the whole time.

After the decision is overturned, Bret kicks Kurt in the ribs right away. He sends him into the corner and follows up with a clothesline. He locks in a headlock and this time takes him down with a bulldog. He picks him up and hits a back breaker then goes for the Sharpshooter again. Kurt reaches up and rolls him into a small package. Bret kicks out and is nailed with a clubbing blow. Kurt hits a DDT and goes up to the top. He comes off with a picture perfect moonsault. However, Bret sees him coming down and rolls out of the way. Kurt crashes to the canvas and is down. Bret rolls back and locks his legs into the Sharpshooter and turns him over and sits back with it firmly locked in. Kurt fights the hold and crawls slowly but surely to the rope. Bret is able to walk the hold back to the center of the ring before he can grab it. Kurt goes for it again and Bret repeats it. He takes him further into the ring so he is far away from any rope. He sits back and cranks on the hold. The clock runs down from 30 seconds as Kurt tries to reach a foot of Bret’s. He can’t reach it because they are outstretched for more pressure. He screams in pain as the clock ticks down to 10 seconds. The fans count down with it TEN, NINE, EIGHT…THREE, TWO, ONE!!! The bell rings and Bret releases the hold but no submission was made. The score stands at 3 falls to 1 fall, Kurt in the lead. Bret is handed his belt and he kisses it as he rolls out of the ring back to the locker room. Kurt is still in pain as he rolls out and limps backstage.


BACKSTAGE
SK: WOW! What an amazing match up. Just think it is only beginning. I am standing here with Double J who defeated the Eagle Champion, Dallas Hart in the first round. Jeff, how do you think you will do tonight against not only Chris Benoit but the man who has moved on to the finals Lord Crash?

JJ: You know something Stacy if you weren‘t so beautiful I would have to slap you up for asking me that kind of question. I‘m going to take out Benoit then I‘m going to show that loser Lord Crash that I‘m the real Lord of the WWF. I am going to show those two slap nuts that I am the CHOSEN one. But enough of talking I‘m going to go show everyone what I mean in the ring. So move out of my way Stacy. Ha, ha, ha, ha![/u]
“Crippler” Chris Benoit VS. “Double J” Jeff Jarrett[/center]

Once again Double J comes out with his partner, William S. Regal. He doesn’t wear his coat this time but wears his blinking shades and hat. He has his trustee guitar and hands it off to Regal as he struts in the middle of the six-sided ring. He gets on the turnbuckle and shows off to the fans that hate him. He removes his hat and shades as Benoit comes down. Benoit walks down with confidence and rolls into the ring. Jarrett goes to attack him before the bell but he ducks and sends him into the corner and slams his head into the turnbuckle several times. He chops him across the chest along the rope into another corner. Benoit grabs his arm and sends him into another corner then charges. Jarrett posts his arms on the top rope and hops right over him. He waits on him to bounce out of the corner and hits a hip toss. He hits the ropes and drops an elbow. He gets up and bounces off the ropes then drops another elbow. He locks in a reverse chin lock and brings him flat to the mat.

Double J drops his weight onto the mat to work on Benoit’s neck. He leads him slowly closer to the rope. He puts his feet on the rope, which forces Benoit to flail his legs about. The ref begins to question Jarrett but he denies it. Benoit doesn’t wait for the ref to break the hold and begins working to his feet. He elbows him repeatedly into the breadbasket to force the break. Once the hands are broken he keeps one and tries to turn it into a Crippler Cross face. Jarrett quickly steps through the ropes to force the break. The fans boo him out of the building. Benoit tries to get him out of the ropes but receives a thumb to the eye as a result. He walks up and rakes his eyes even more viciously. The ref warns him but he ignores him. He punches Benoit into the corner and drives his shoulder into his gut. He sends him to the opposite corner and walks up to him as he bounces out of it. He kicks him then hits a DDT. He hooks the leg for a quick near fall. He picks him back up and shoves him into a corner then picks up and sets him on the top rope. He goes up in an attempt to suplex him from the top.

Benoit punches him repeatedly then shoves him off the top. He stands up and puts his hands out and drops his headbutt. He favors his head after he hits the move and takes his time to cover. Jarrett kicks out which only causes Benoit to get frustrated and club him over and over. He picks him up and locks his arms around his waist and takes him back with a German Suplex. He rolls to his feet and hits another one. He rolls back to his feet but Jarrett is getting loose so Benoit clubs his back and locks tighter. He takes him overhead again the rolls to his feet for yet another one but Jarrett gets to a rope to post on and hits a mule kick. Benoit drops clutching his groin. The fans boo this action. Jarrett favors his head but is able to walk over and pick him up. He tosses him through the ropes and distracts the referee.

William Regal begins to pummel Benoit on the outside and even pulls his knucks out and attempts to hit him. Benoit ducks and watches him strike the ring post. He begins to chop him and Jarrett doesn’t like this he goes out and blindsides him. He rolls him back into the ring. He scoops up his leg, drags to the center of the ring, and drops the elbow across it. He signals it and locks in a figure-four. Benoit screams in agony but works hard to turn him over. At first, he is unsuccessful but eventually, he turns him over and puts the pressure on Jarrett. The cowardly Double J gets his hands on the ropes right away to force the break.

Jarrett stands up with a limp but quickly swings at Benoit. Benoit ducks and locks in a Crippler Cross face. They drop to the canvas and Jarrett looks to be in trouble. He crawls slowly to the rope, which Regal has pushed out further for him to grab. The hold is broken as a result. Benoit jumps up and angrily argues with the ref. The ref warns him of disqualification. Meanwhile, Jarrett rolls out and picks up his guitar in a blind rage. Regal jumps one of the opposite aprons and distracts the ref. Benoit doesn’t know what’s going on but has an idea. He turns around to see his opponent come off the top and slam the guitar right onto his head. The ref turns slightly and catches the maneuver out of the corner of his eye and calls for the bell. He ends the match in a disqualification therefore Chris Benoit moves on to face Lord Crash for the King of the Ring.

MC: There you have it folks a man that is winning the Triathlon. It is SURE to be one awesome encounter to say the least. Let‘s get back to ringside!


Page 2 of 4

For our final entrance of the Triathlon both men once again changed their ring attire. Kurt came down with a more serious look on his face and he was obviously angry at the performance of the last match. He didn’t even stop to put his hands in the air to signal his pyro. The pyro just went off as he walked to the ring. He came out in a mostly white singlet this time with gold around the legs of it and red and blue stripes along the straps and his logo on the front of it as usual. He rolled into the ring and gave his medals away right away and stared in determination at the entrance area.

Bret came down with a longer black leather jacket. It was a lot like a trench coat but not that long. The zipper went all the way down and it had the chain link shoulder tassels. He stepped in the ring and opened his jacket to reveal his undisputed title belt along with pink tights matched with a black singlet top. In his earlier matches tonight, his attire had a rain drop speckle but it was solid colors to give a more tradition sense for this match. He removed his coat and handed it over the ropes and took his belt off. He stared at it, kissed it, and then gave it to the ref. He jumped out and gave his shades to another lucky person and rolled back in. The bell didn’t even ring when Kurt clotheslined him into the corner. The bell rang and we were on for the next and final 30 minutes. He riddled him with rights and lefts. He pushed him into the corner and began to stomp him in the gut and chest. Bret collapsed into the corner and Kurt continued to stomp on his chest and even his face. He grabbed the ropes and began choking him with his boot. He stomped him in the face again then picked up and sent to the corner. He followed up with a clothesline then hit a couple reverse elbows on him. He put his knee into his gut then pulled out of the corner and hit a snap suplex. He turned around and locked in a reverse chin lock.

Bret grabs his arm and rolls out of the hold right away. He locks in a front headlock right after he gets out of the reverse chin lock. Kurt fights to get out of the hold and even goes to reverse it but is denied. Bret fights him all the way to his feet then just hits a DDT. He rolls to his feet the hits a leg drop on the back of his head. He walks over and picks up his leg and raises it high then brings it down hard, smashing his knee onto the canvas. He repeats the process then pulls him onto his back and brings a knee across his knee. He brings his legs up and brings his knee back down across his knee again then stands up with it and drops an elbow across it. He locks in a grapevine and is obviously working on his legs to keep him grounded. You can’t answer a 10 count if you can’t stand. He elbows the knee repeatedly then releases the vine and brings his knee down across Kurt’s knee again. He vines it up again.

Kurt continues to fight the hold and is able to grab Bret’s hair and bring his head flush to the mat. He brings his heel down to his face and forces the break. Bret rolls over and over in anguish. He picks him up and sends him into the ropes and hits a power slam. He stands up and hits a leg drop next. He favors his leg after the move and rolls to the outside. He brings the chair in while the ref is laying a count on Bret. He gets up by the count of 6 in time to see Kurt swinging a chair at him. He catches it square on the forehead and drops for another ref count. He finally answers the count when he gets to 8. Kurt is waiting for him and brings the chair down towards his skull again but Bret grabs it with both hands and kicks him in the gut to force him to let go. He swings at him but he ducks and hits an Angle Slam. Bret is down and the ref counts on him again. He gets up at 9 but gets a back suplex for his troubles. Kurt jumps on him and begins to hammer away at his face. He picks him up and sends him over the top to the floor.

Kurt rolls out and picks up Bret then sends him into the steps. The force almost dislodges them but doesn’t. He picks him up on the opposite side and goes to send him into the barricade but he reverses it then stops him with a clothesline. Kurt’s feet fly up over his head as he drops. Bret goes down with the clothesline as well and both are laid out. Bret is the first to his feet and begins to exchange blows with Kurt as he gets up. The two fight to the ramp, which isn’t too far away. Kurt kicks him and goes for a suplex on the concrete but Bret blocks it. Kurt attempts it again but again Bret blocks it. This time Bret hits a suplex of his own and brings him down onto the steel ramp. Both men are down again and the fans go crazy.

Bret once again is the first one up. He picks Kurt up and leads him to the stage. He slams his head into the video screen entrance door. He then measures it and sends him into the throne but Kurt reverses and Bret smashes into the throne, dislodging it. Kurt picks up the throne and drops it onto Bret’s back. He picks up the hanger post that the cape and crown sat on before the coronation. He brings it down on his back then chokes him after he turns around. He waits on him to get up then brings it across his back again. He tosses the post aside then picks up Bret. Bret quickly hits an inverted Atomic Drop then grabs his tights and falls backward. Kurt is brought forward and sent careening off the stage and into a few tables holding electrical cables. The tables explode and the cables wrap around him. The fans are on their feet then scream as Bret comes off with a driving elbow smash. Both men are down for a little while as the fans chant “Let’s go Bret!”

Bret is the first one to his feet and he picks up Kurt and leads him to the back. The two fight all the way through the back until the two are now at the concession area. Only a few fans are there and they are going nuts. Bret sends Kurt over the counter and into the concession area. He jumps over and starts to stomp on him. He grabs the fountain pop machine and brings it crashing down onto his back. Now Kurt is full of soda pop and ice. Bret brings him out from the stand and sends him into a pop machine but Kurt reverses it and clotheslines him as he comes back. He slams his face into a nearby empty keg barrel. He brings him back into the arena and the two fight all the way back to the ramp. Kurt headlocks him and brings him back to ringside. He slams him into the steel steps then sends him into the ring post and rolls him back into the ring. The fans are loving every bit of the action and Kurt picks up a chair and gets into the ring.

Bret now has a chair in his hands and turns around to see Kurt with a chair in hand. The two raise their chairs and swing at each other. The chairs come down simultaneously on each other’s skulls. The two drop for the first 10 count of the match, both men were counted out to keep the score tied at 1 a piece. Kurt gets up after the decision is made and rolls out to pick up a bell. He comes back in and Bret uses his chair to help him get to his feet. Kurt comes in and jabs Bret in the ribs to force him to drop the chair. He lifts the bell and is about to bring it down on his skull when he receives an inverted Atomic Drop. He drops the bell and Bret tries to readjust himself away from the bell. He locks in a front waist lock and goes for a German. However, it is obvious that Bret lifts Kurt wrong somehow and brings his weight half way over with him. Bret strikes the back of his head on the bell after trying to suplex him away from it. The full weight of Kurt’s body lands right on top of him at the same time. Kurt rolls off of him and out of the ring. He lays on the mat outside for a bit then goes under the ring for something. Meanwhile, the ref counts Bret out for Kurt to pull ahead by one.

Kurt is pulling a trashcan out from under the ring when he hears the announcement of pulling ahead. He looks around obviously surprised then drops the can and slides into the ring. He talks to the ref then goes back to work on Bret. He picks him up and locks in a front headlock. He keeps his head down then works to his feet. Bret reverses out of the hold and starts to punch Kurt then sends him into the corner with authority. Kurt strikes the turnbuckle chest first and drops back. Bret sent him with such force he was down on the canvas again but uses the ropes to crawl to his feet. Kurt gets counted out to tie the score up for this match again. Bret then drops for another ref count. Kurt and Bret both get to their feet at 9. The two exchanges blows but Kurt ducks a big swing and locks a front waist lock. He takes him over with a German Suplex. He rolls to his feet and hits another German. He rolls to his feet and repeats with a big suplex. He releases him and allows the ref to count on him. The ref gets to 9 and Kurt breaks the count with the ref. The fans boo it and cheer at the same time.

Kurt picks him up but Bret stomps him on his knee that was wounded by him earlier. He picks him up by the knee and brings him down with a knee Atomic Drop. He trips him then drops his knee on it. He goes to the second rope and comes off with his patented driving elbow smash. He looks up at the clock and picks him up and hits a bulldog. He picks him up and sends into the ropes. Kurt reverses the whip but Bret double reverses it and swings a clothesline at him as he comes back. Kurt ducks then comes back to duck a reverse elbow, he hits the ropes and ducks another clothesline attempt. Bret hits the ropes after the clothesline attempt and comes off with another clothesline. Unfortunately, Kurt comes off with a clothesline of his own. The two collide and drop with a thunderous boom. The fans are standing and going crazy as the clock ticks down from 30 seconds left in the match.

Both men are down and the ref begins to count. ONE…Bret begins to climb up the ropes and slips off. TWO…he moves away and gets on his hands and knees. THREE…Kurt rolls to the opposite ropes and crawls along them to the corner. FOUR…he climbs up the turnbuckle and gets to his knees. FIVE…Bret is on one foot and trying to stand on his other foot. He is barely getting up and is still rubbery when he is almost up. SIX…Kurt is on one foot and works up the turnbuckle. SEVEN…Bret has both feet under him but is way rubbery and collapses at…EIGHT. Kurt is still hunched over but on both feet, his legs are not holding his weight yet and are trying to collapse. NINE…Bret tries to climb up the turnbuckle again but collapses again and his arm is over the bottom rung. Kurt stands up and staggers away right at…TEN! The ref calls Bret out and gives the decision to Kurt. Now the clock reads 12 seconds left. Kurt collapses and the ref begins to count on both men again. However, he counts so slow that he doesn’t make it to 10 by the time the bell rings. It is good that he counts slowly because neither man answered the count this time anyway. Bret is laid out in the corner and Kurt is down as well. However, the match is now over with and Kurt wins this one with a score of 3-2. Now we could award the match to Kurt because he won two matches of the triathlon. Unfortunately, the rules state that the winner will be the man with the most decisions at the end of the series. The Triathlon score stands at 6-6. Therefore, we will have to go to overtime immediately. The setting for the ring was already set with a circle in the middle and the King of the Ring logo in the middle of it.

The two recover for the 2 or 3 minutes the Fink takes to make these announcements. A new ref comes down that is not one of ours. He is an official from the NEW wrestling organization known as Real Pro Wrestling, better known as RPW. I told you earlier that this match was going to measure all aspects of wrestling so it is fitting that the overtime should be a form of amateur wrestling.

Kurt Angle VS. Bret “Hit Man” Hart – champion
[/center]
In RPW, the matches have two-3 minute periods. You can score points by taking your opponent down and controlling him for two points, turning an opponent’s back past a 90 degree angle to the mat for two points, taking a man directly off his feet and over your body to his back for a score of 6 points, escaping from the bottom for one point, reversing from the bottom for two points, pushing out of the circle for one point, or holding a person in a pinning combo for a five count to earn one point. Wins can occur when a man has a lead of 15 points or more during the match. The match will end in a technical fall at that point. A pin fall can occur when the shoulders are held down for a full one to two seconds. If you go the regulation time then whoever has the highest score wins. If the score is tied, you go to sudden death where the first point wins. Now that the rules have been explained let’s join our dead tired competitors now.

Bret and Kurt have had the rules explained to them backstage before the last match even occurred in case of this very reason. The two are brought in the middle of the ring after hardly any rest. They shake hands and the ref points at the timekeeper to ring the bell to start the match. He keeps a whistle in his mouth to start and stop the action as needed.

The two exhausted superstars circle each other now that the lights have dimmed all the way around the arena and a single spot light has illuminated the center of the ring. Kurt and Bret tie up in the center. Kurt drops to a single leg right away and goes to lift it but Bret is countering immediately. He has his free leg sprawled back and locks in a whizzer. He continues to fight with him but eventually Kurt hooks the free leg and shoves into him to take him down for the 2 points.

Kurt is on Bret and immediately goes for a leg lace. Bret begins to crawl away and then starts to kick his legs back to break Kurt’s hold. He kicks enough to break his hold and quickly jumps to his feet and faces Kurt. The ref awards him 1 point for the escape and the two are neutral again. Kurt wastes no time in shooting a double as soon as Bret is facing him. He sprawls to avoid the takedown and locks in a front headlock. He locks in the headlock a lot differently than in the earlier matches. He grabs his chin and controls his arm to keep him from reversing the hold. He uses his arm on his chin to shuck him past him in an attempted takedown. However, Kurt doesn’t allow him to spin behind him. He keeps on his toes and moves quickly to keep face to face with Bret. Bret switches direction and tries to shoot the arm under him and spin over him. Unfortunately, Kurt switches directions as well. They keep spinning and facing until they are on their feet and neutral again.

Bret ties up and Kurt shoots under his arm for a Duck Under. He locks his arms around his body and tries to take him over him for a throw. Bret has this move scouted as he weighs himself down in order to keep the throw from happening. He jerks Kurt quickly to break his hold a bit and keeps his hands on his hands in an attempt to control them. He takes two steps forward then hits a standing switch. The two go to the mat as Kurt follows with a re-switch. Bret changes direction again and is able to sit out to face him. He locks a front headlock again and hits a shuck again. The two spin and follow as before and end up standing before they know it.

The two men walk back to the center to avoid going out of bounds and causing a push out. Kurt goes for the tie up and Bret pops both hands up for a double leg takedown. Kurt sprawls on it but Bret steps up and lifts and drives him out of bounds. The ref awards a push out point to Bret. The score is now tied at 2 apiece. The two get back to the center for the ref to restart the match and Kurt grabs Bret’s wrist. He fakes a shot towards one foot but throws the arm up to knock the other arm out of the way then shoots to the opposite foot. He picks the single leg up and elevates it only for the whistle to go off and the period to be over.

The two competitors are now totally exhausted and it shows but there is no rest and the two get right in the center for the whistle to blow again. They tie up once again and circle. It appears the two are just leaning on each other. Bret grips Kurt’s elbow then seemingly quicker than the speed of light, he shucks the arm past him and drop with the opposite hand all in one motion. He picks up the exposed leg by the heel and elevates the leg. He trips the leg on the mat at the heel to take Angle straight to the mat back first. He twists his body almost immediately but it is too late, he exposed his back as well as gave up a takedown. Bret gets 4 points for the entire move.

Now on the mat, Bret locks in a waist lock while Kurt is face down on the canvas. He works to get a Gut Wrench but nothing comes of it. He hops over and goes the other direction but doesn’t budge him. He moves up and locks in a headlock and sits his feet through so his legs are on the same side as his head. He lifts the arm in the headlock and sets the hold on his hip. He begins to roll while lifting the hold but Kurt posts his arm across his other hip and stops the move. Bret panics and lets the hold go and goes to his belly before he gives up back exposure points. Kurt gets 2 points for a reversal still trailing by 2. He works on a Gut Wrench of his own but is unable to move the Hit Man. The ref stops the match for a stalemate and puts them back on their feet.

Kurt ties up right at the restart and shoulders his arm over for a Russian tie. Bret tries to counter in one of the worst possible ways. He puts his arm over his head in an attempted front headlock. Kurt capitalizes by dropping to his knees with a shot while holding the Russian tie and hitting a double leg takedown. Bret goes down to his belly allowing Kurt to tie the score once again at 6-6. Bret doesn’t stay on the mat; instead he sits out immediately and keeps trying to get away from him. Kurt just keeps following him and eventually locks a leg around his. He reaches under his far arm and tries to turn him. He locks in a power half and continues to turn him. Bret stands his legs up and is on his head. He reaches in an attempt to pull Kurt’s head under with him and subsequently pin him. Kurt keeps his head up and pulls his arms out. He is unable to stay under his shoulders and Bret begins to shake him off his back and walk backwards. He is slipping out from between his legs and Kurt just lets him go and runs away in order to keep from giving up a reversal. The fans boo and cheer at the same time but Bret gets an escape point to pull ahead 7-6.

It is looking bleak for Kurt with 30 seconds left in the match. He ties up again and shoves Bret, looking for a push out or a takedown if he shoves back. Bret drops his forearm under Kurt’s elbow and pops it up in an attempted throw-by. Kurt keeps facing him to prevent the move and is able to circle him towards the boundary. They continue to fight with the time getting close and Bret steps out of the circle and allows the push out to be awarded to his opponent. Kurt is looking for a quick move in the next 10 seconds to win the match. He is tired but tries not to show it. The whistle blows and the two circle and tie up. Kurt pops his arms up and shoots for a double but Bret sprawls on it and keeps him from getting the takedown. He shoves his head down and keeps him at bay. The whistle blows and the regulation time is up. The score at the end of the second period is 7-7. We are going into Sudden Death.

The two are completely blown up and it shows all over their faces. Bret is hunched over while watching Kurt in the opposite corner. Kurt has his hands on top of his head trying not to be tired. The ref calls them to the center and blows the whistle to start the Final period. The two circle each other then tie. Bret tries to shuck his arm by again but doesn’t succeed. He goes for a throw-by but Kurt keeps facing him. Kurt tries to hit a duck but doesn’t drop levels fast enough and is stopped. The two break the tie and just circle, looking for a shot. They tie up again and Bret goes for a push out attempt right away. Kurt tries to circle away from it but as a result gets circled close to the bounds. He breaks the tie and tries to get away from the bounds but Bret circles with his back in the center and keeps him from getting away. Kurt steps away and Bret steps closer to him and reaches up for the tie up. However, he made the mistake of reaching and Kurt hits a Duck Under without even touching his arm. He shoots his head under his arm and steps behind him. He could have easily pushed Bret out. Instead in one motion, he locks his arms around his waist and takes him straight over his head for a German Suplex. Bret is surprised from the quick move and strikes the mat with the force of an explosion. The arena trembles. The ref drops and strikes his hand on the mat hard. The crowd erupts at the end of the match. The ref points to the timekeeper who rings the bell.

Kurt rolls over to his knees and looks to be completely exhausted but begins to cry almost immediately. Bret gets up and the ref grabs his arm and Kurt’s and brings their hands together. The Fink makes the announcement before the belt is even presented. “The winner of the Iron Man Triathlon…and NEW Undisputed World Heavyweight Champion, KURT ANNNNNGLLLLLE! Kurt shakes Bret’s hand and embraces him with tears in his eyes. He has finally won his first WWF Championship and he did it against, the Greatest WWF Champion of all time.

Bret rolls out of the ring and grabs the belt and rolls back into the ring. The music stops and the fans are all hush. He looks at his belt with tears in his eyes. He hands the belt to Kurt and shakes his hand again. The fans explode in an ovation in unison. Bret raises Kurt’s hand and shows him off to all both sides of the arena similar to what the RPW ref did earlier. He hugs him again and appears to congratulate him. He points at the crowd as if saying, “It’s all yours, Champ.” Kurt is still crying and looks at the belt. He holds it up high on both straps to show to the entire world. He steps on the turnbuckle and holds one hand up and holds the belt up with the other. He repeats it for all six corners. The ref steps back in the ring to help strap the belt around his waist. He throws his hands in the air and the arena explodes with pyro on the stage and above the arena. The fans are going nuts for the NEW champion, Kurt Angle.

The last scene we look at is the pyro going off as Kurt celebrates. We go off the air to this scene. The main event at Summer Slam will be Chris Benoit against Kurt Angle.
