[IntlGrapplingAsc]

[The camera comes back from a commercial break as Sean Smith sneers at Trevor
Wincott who shouts at him pointing back to the ring! Smith threatens to hit
Wincott who motions to the title threatning to take it away. Smith grabs the
railing and slams it down into the floor as he turns around and slides under
the bottom rope into the ring.]

Wincott: Not anymore Sean! You took Streamline out before a match could even
start, but tonight...you're got a title defense...but it's not against "Snuff"
anymore!

[Sean kicks the bottom rope and takes off the World title and throws it down in
the middle of the ring motioning for Wincott or whoever to come on out.]

Wincott: So Sean...say hello to you opponent for the night!

[Wincott steps aside as "Breakdown" by Tantric blares over the PA System! The
arena explodes as Sean blinks taking a step back as Sebastion Manning sprints
out through the curtains and down the aisle sliding under the bottom rope into
the ring as Wincott backs up into the back smirking]

Streamline: This neverwas shouldn't be here!

DeLuica: Sean wasn't expecting this!

[Manning springs up to his feet as Sean shoots forward with a right that
Sebastion blocks and fires back with a right of his own! Sean stumbles back as
Manning connects with another shot knocking the World Champion back into the
ropes as the bell sounds! Manning whips Sean across the ring and catches the
champion on the rebound with a perfect dropkick to the jaw laying the angry
brit out! Manning quickly covers him for the pin hooking his leg!]

[MONSTER FACE POP!]

[KICKOUT!]

[Manning is quickly back up to his feet as Sean rolls out of the ring to the
floor! Smith starts to stumble back up the aisle as Manning charges forward and
leaps over the top rope clearing it and catching Smith with a plancha! Smith
lays motionless as Manning grabs his ribs rolling up to his feet and reaching
down pulling Smith back up and rolling him into the ring! Manning climbs up
onto the apron and then up to the top rope! With Smith motionless in the ring
Manning leaps high into the air and comes down with a legdrop across his
throat! Smith holds his throat trying to roll over as Sebastion hooks his leg
covering him for the pin!]

DeLuica: IT LOOKS LIKE SEAN'S LUCK HAS RUN OUT!

ONE....

TH...[SHOULDER UP!]

[DISAPOINTED SIGH!]

DeLuica: So close!

[HUGE HEEL POP!]

[Jason LaPlante sprints down the aisle jumping up and down shouting at Manning
and Rockwell who both ignore him! Manning pulls Sean back up to his feet and
whips him into the ropes, LaPlante hooks Sean's leg tripping him and causing to
crash face 1st into the mat! Manning leaps into the air and stops his rotation
landing on his feet as he rushes towards the ropes and trys to grab at Sean or
LaPlante who both are just out of reach! LaPlante helps Sean stay on his feet

[Rockwell raises Manning's hand in the air as the arena errupts in cheers for
the returning superstar.]

Corlone: The winner of this match...as a result of a Countout...SEBASTION
MANNING!

[Manning climbs up to the top rope and throws his hands in the air as the arena
errupts into cheers for him! Manning grins and motions for the World Title
around his waist]

Streamline: That putz couldn't cut it before and he won't be able to cut it
now, especially against Sean Smith!

DeLuica: Manning gave Smith ALOT more then he was expecting and the World
Champion ran with his tail between his legs!

[Manning heads back up the aisleway slapping the hands of fans as one of the
officials rush out from the back and passes a note to Streamline and DeLuica]

Streamline: Whoa! A match JUST signed by LaPlante! And what a fight that's
gotta be going on in the back!

DeLuica: I didn't even know there were contract neogations with this
guy...Sparrow Jinn!

[The action returns from the commercial to find "European Fire" Don Legend
standing in his neutral corner, his eyes atunned to the ramp way as Corlone
camp to stand in the rings center.]

Corlone: Making his way to the ring at this time.. He hails from Osaka Japan,
and is making his IGA debute tonight! He is lead to the ring by Mr.Yoshimiru..
he is SPAAAARRROOOWWWW JIIIINNNNNN!!!

[The house lights drop. The arena floor fills with smoke, tendrils curling up
the sides of the ring barricade as a dark red and purple strobe begins to
flicker. No music is heard. The curtain parts, and building softly in the back
ground an Asian sounded techno beat begins. It soon builds to become Ancient
Future's: "The Empress (Osaka Remix)" The curtain parts and a man in a suit
with long black hair steps through. As he clears the smokey and lights it's
clear that he is Japanese. His build is muscular, and his height is medium. He
pauses, and motions to the curtain again. From it steps a masked man. He walks
in a crouch.. his beady eyes seeming to take everyone and everything in. His
face is shrouded with an almost Ninja styled mask, nothing but his eyes and
brow show. All of his garments are black with crimson with gold trimmings, the
symbol of a Black Widow Spider is emblazoned on the front of his Gi's top. The
Japanese symbols of power, cunning, and agility are mixed into the trim. His
legs are covered by loose fitting baggy pants. The bottoms of them tucked
neatly into his knee high Tabi boots. As he makes his way down the rampway, his
feet move heel toe.. each step gliding his closer to the ring. He pays no heed
to the fans of the IGA at all. His manager smiles cooly and speaks Japanese
into the camera... before walking further down the ramp, leading his man. Now
at the ring, the grappler known as Sparrow Jinn leaps up to the ring apron with
a single hop, while his manager, Mr. Yoshimiru walks up the ring steps, even as
Sparrow steps into the ring. Once in the ring, Sparrow walks across to his
couner, and simply glares at Legend.]

Streamline: Ahh... here we go, some culture now in the ring. Rumor has it that
Sparrow Jinn has been hired by Laplante himself to help him... take care of
some unfinished business..

DeLucia: I've never had the pleasure of watching Jinn, but I've heard he is a
Legend in Japan and Europe... much like a Sean Smith or a Tommy Danger here in
the U.S! But, if he's truely been hire by Laplante.. well, I don't think much
of his character...

[As the two men talked, Jinn was moving forward. He walked in that same heel
toe motion, keeping his stance low, almost crouched as he reached his taped
fingers forward towards Legend's.. who was also reaching for Jinn. The two
touched hand, and locked them up briefly before Jinn moved, stepping into
Legend he dropped low and swept Legends feet from beneath him. Caught off
gaurd, Don went down in a heap.. falling hard to his back even as Sparrow was
going into the ropes. Legend got to his feet, but as he did Sparrow went into a
spin wheel kick and crashed into the European Fire's rising form, striking him
with enough force to knock him between the ropes and clear to the arena floor!]

1!!

2!!

DeLucia: My goodness, lighting speed exhibited by Jinn!

4!!

Streamline: Thats right, and look where Don Legend is laying! On the floor! 2
seconds into this match, and Sparrow Jinn is already establishing complete
control...

6!!

[Don Legend was out on the floor, the fall had hurt the vertern, but he was
already getting back to his feet, with the aid of a guard rail. Jinn for his
part was simply waiting, his stance low.. his dark eyes peering towards his
opponent. Mr. Yoshimiru watched on with a confident smile, as the camera turned
towards he he began speaking to it in Japanese. Jinn made no motion at all,
merely observed as Legend got to his feet. The ref was counting. Legend took
his visual measure of Jinn, and then rolled back into the ring in just the
knick of time. Sparrow did not attack again then, but as Legend got to his
feet, the two locked up. A collar and elbow established, Legend buffed the hold
and slide around behind Jinn via a standing switch. Jinn however, was ready and
swiftly brought an elbow back to catch Don in the eye. This made the man's hold
of Jinn's waist lax, and as such Jinn returned the standing switch favor,
manuvering himself behind Legend. Once there, Jinn sinched in a hammerlock
armbar, and torqued up on it. Legend hollared in pain and tried to roll out of
the lock, but Jinn swiftly placed a knee behind Legends, and took him to the
mat, making him kneel down.]

DeLucia: A nice start to the match. Jinn seemingly wanting to have a technical
bout with Legend, a brave feat indeed.. Don Legend is exactly what he says his
name is..

Streamline: Yeah, but like all Legends his is about to end.. Jinn is just
mastering him!

[Jinn held the armbar, but didn't need to understand english to know that this
basic hold was not going to make Legend give up. So, with ill intent he held
the hammerlock, but pulled Don back up to his feet with it, and quickly slide
his other hand around to hook his free side with a half nelson, both holds
procured.. Jinn hefted Legend backwards with a snapping velocity and drove The
European Fire's head and shoulder socket into the mat with a high impact
Hammerlock Half Nelson DDT!]

Streamline: Holy crap! What a move!!

[NEW MOVE POP!]

[Holy Shit Chant!!]

DeLucia: I have to say, I've never seen a manuver quite like that Danny!

[Legend groaned in pain and writhed on the mat, holding his head and shoulder..
his neck also being effected by the manuver! Jinn was just starting, however.
He rose up again, and just waited.. watching Legend, allowing him to time to
regain his composure.. and odd behavior for a grappler.]

DeLucia: He should have covered Legend there! That could be a mistake! It's
almost arroga--

Streamline: Arrogant! Are you watching the same match as ME! He owns Legend..
and he knows it. He has Legend anytime he wants him..

[Don Legend got to his knees, and backed off to the ropes, using them for
assistance to his feet. And Jinn just waited. Legend worked his neck around,
rubbing the sore spot and nodded.. stepping forward to lock up with Jinn again.
This time.. as he stepped forward he found himself taken down by a Japanese arm
drag, his back and spine crushed into the mat with yet another resounding
impact. Legend used his momentum however, to roll out of the ring this time.
Shaking his head in frustration. His breaths where already heavy, and the match
was still had many minutes left. The harsh impact of Jinn's manuvers where
taking there toll on the Veteran. Jinn remained in that low position..
seemingly stalking Don, waiting for his chance to spring once more. Legend had
caught his wind, and the count was growing near so he made his way back into
the ring, rolling under the bottom rope he came to his feet again. Surprise was
his however, as he faked a lock up and swung at Jinn, catching him clean in the
face with a right hand that seemed to stagger the Japanese warrior. A second
followed a third before Legend hooked up again, and took Sparrow over and
tossed him in mid air with a perfect belly to belly suplex! Sparrow struck the
mat with full impact.. and slide a few inches more, seemingly dazed!]

[FACE POP!]

DeLucia: The first signs of life from Legend! A beautiful Belly to Belly!

Streamline: Yeah, after e cheated with a closed fist! Don Legend was getting
out wrestled, so.. he stooped to a closed fist to even the score!

[Legend then moved towards Jinn as Jinn was getting back to his feet, cathcing
him in a floating front face lock, he rode Jinn back down to the mat, sinching
the front face lock in. Jinn was working the hold, moving right and left under
Legend's grip. As the two worked the hold a few moments passed, Jinn suddenly
rolled right hard and, holding one of the arms that Legend was using in the
face lock, rolled out of the hold and turned it into a lose hammerlock again.
Loose because Jinn was moving again, hooking his legs around Legends body Jinn
almost stood and then rolled, releasing the arm to pull Don Legend over as he
hooked his legs around Don's shoulders, almost upside down for a moment before
he ended up in a position reminiscent of a sunset flip!]

ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Streamline: What a combo!

TWWWOOO!!!!!!!!!

DeLucia: A near FALL!!

[Don Legend broke the pin by rolling backwards, and then swiftly leapt atop
Jinn, hooking his legs by shoving forward, hooking the back of Jinn's knees
with his shoulders.. turning it into a pinning senerio!]

ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!

TWOO--!!!

DeLucia: Another near fall!! What an amazing display of techincal wrestling!!

[Somehow Jinn wove his legs through Don's hold, and hooking them together,
muscled both himself and Legendand rolled over to his own belly, which turned
Legends back to the mat again, for yet another cover!!!]

Streamline: Damn! Three in the row.. how'd Sparrow do that!!?

ONE!!!!

TWO!!!!!!!!!!!

THRE---

[Legend was able to workhs arms in between Jinn's powerful legs and break the
lock, allowing his shoulder to come up! After that, both men rolled backlwards,
Legend to his knees.. Jinn to his feet!]

[TECHNICAL WRESTLING FANS GO INSANE POP!]

[Legend clapped for Jinn, who had won that series again. Jinn wanted no part of
it however, and as soon as Don looked away, Jinn dashed at him and launched a
low double foot drop-kick right into Legend's face! His head snapped back
wickedly and he crumpled backwards! An audible snap could be heard throught the
arena!]

DeLucia: DID YOU HEAR THAT?!

Streamline: Good God man, what a drop kick!

[High Impact pop!]

[This time, Jinn didn't wait. Going over the the stunned grappler, Sparrow
lifted him up by his hair and locked up again. Hooking his arms around Don's,
he set him up in a butterfly position and suplexed him back to the mat,
releasing as he went over and twisting to the side to drive his spine into the
mat hard! As soon as his body settled, Jinn was back up.. picking Legend up
again. Legend fired into Jinn's midsection, but the punches where heartless.
With Don on his feet again, Jinn choped his hard, backing him into a corner
before chopping him again, causing red welts to rise up on his chest! From
here, Jinn hooked him up in a suplex positon and snaped back, driving his back
into the mat once again, this time however, he rolled over for the pin!!]

ONE!!!!!!!!!!!

Streamline: This should be it!!

TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DeLucia: Noway! The Legend is a vet... he knows where he's at in that ring!

Streamline: Though I am doubting his judgement right now! Jinn is killing him!

[Legend got his foot on the ropes. If Jinn cared it never showed. He simply
rose up again, pulling Legend to his feet. Hooking up briefly, he sent Legend
into the ropes. He himself hit the opposite ropes, the ring thundered as Jinn
droped low and kipped back up, only to get nailed with a Don Legend lariat!
Jinn hit the mat hard!]

[MASSIVE RESPECT POP!]

[Jinn stayed on the mat, gasping it seemed though none could tell because of
the mask! Legend bent over to heft Jinn up, and did so. However, in that
instant Sparrow was able to leap up and hook his legs around the standing
Legend's arm! Due to the fact that Don was suddenly supporting Jinn's entire
wieght with one arm, Jinn was able to pull Don down to the mat face first as he
clearly held onto that arm.. pulling it with all his strength in the direction
it did not bend! It was just a matter of a few seconds then, as seasoned
Veteran's hand began to slap the mat hard.. his cries of agony apparent!]

*Ding!!* *Ding!!* *Ding!!*

DeLucia: How about that?! It looked like Legend was building some new momentum,
and just like that.. IT's OVER!

Streamline: Mr.Yoshimiru has told me that the Japanese translation for the name
of that manuver is "5 Seconds of Magic". Aptly named! I told you that Jinn had
Legend whenever he wanted him!

DeLuica: We'll be right back after these messages!
