You come out from the darker backstage area through a curtain, the stage lights is blinding and you start to wonder what you’re doing here, you know that you trained hard for this, but the crowd isn’t reacting at all, they don’t know you. This is your first big match and you’re facing off against nobody else but Kane, The Big Red Machine himself. The storyline goes that Kane is in a funk and that he will lose to you, but heaven knows that he sometimes does snap and you know that his chokeslam does more than drive the air from your body. You step through the ropes and stare at the Big Red Machine, he grins back at you and you know that you have a fight on your hands tonight. The referee asks if you’re ready, you look at him, “You know I’m not ready for this,” you reply.

He looks confused and you sigh. “I’m ready,” you say in an exasperated tone. The referee moves to Kane and ask him the same and you know that he is always ready for a fight with a newcomer. The referee calls for the bell and you two move towards the center of the ring, you two lock up and start to struggle for dominance, for a few moments it seems like Kane will overpower you and then you can feel him give in slightly

“Damn you’re strong,” he growls, his growl catches you off guard and he quickly locks in a side headlock, you realize that it’s not every day that Kane faces a guy just as tall as he is and you decide to capitalize on it. You twist yourself into position, grab him around his waist and with a quick pop of your hips and a twist in midair you deliver a suplex. The impact jars Kane’s hold on you and you slip out of his hold and quickly lock in a chin lock of your own, he quickly twists his body and rolls out of the way. Kane gets up and looks at you and you know that this is going to become a slug fest and the hardest hitter will get the upper hand, you two move closer again and lock up again, Kane pulls back slightly and just in time you block the huge haymaker he swings at you, you use the momentum to twist his arm behind his back in a hammer lock, “Kane keep to the playbook,” you whisper close to his ear.

“Not tonight, you want to get a win over me? Earn it,” he growls back. Kane twist his body against the hold, ignoring the pain as he drives his elbow into the side of your jaw, you know it’s useless to hold on and let go of his arm, making a show of clutching your jaw. Kane grabs your arm and spins you around, he lands a vicious right to your forehead and a left to your ribs and then his patented throat thrust, you stagger into the corner and as he follows up with some brutal body shots you decide that if the veteran can throw away the rule book, then so will you. You shove him violently away, he charges, but you were expecting that and explode out of the corner with a big boot, knocking the big man down, you quickly climb the turnbuckle and wait for Kane to get to his feet, he slowly gets up and you jump at him delivering a dropkick which sends him barreling backwards into the turnbuckle behind him. You quickly get to your feet and run at him, you jump and drive him into the turnbuckle with a Stinger Splash, you can hear the wind being driven from him, you get on the bottom ropes, tuck his head under your arm and fall backwards, going for a DDT, but he wriggles loose and you land solidly on your back. Kane climbs out of the ring and climbs up the turnbuckle, you struggle to your feet and look up just in time to see the Big Red Machine fly, you look amazed at the height he gains before he come down toward you, hitting you solidly with a flying clothesline, for the second time within a few seconds you’re laying flat on your back. Kane follows this up with a huge leg drop across your throat and goes for the cover, you kick out at one and Kane gets up. You realize that by the crowd reaction he is setting you up for that Chokeslam from Hell, you struggle to your feet and as you turn around Kane grabs you by the throat.

“Are you ready for a ride boy? You’re going to hell,” he say with a sick grin on his face. As Kane lifts you up, you break loose from his grip, grab his arm and falls down on his arm, dragging him into the ground, you lock in a Crippler Crossface, catching him completely by surprise and you can hear him hiss in agony as you pull his head backwards. Unfortunately he landed closer to the ropes than you did and with his boot he can touch the ropes, the ref screams at you to break the hold which you do immediately, no need to get Kane angry and determined as well. You run towards the ropes for momentum, you rebound from them and run as fast as you can towards Kane who is struggling to his feet clutching his arm, he looks up at you just as you dive and you hear the air rush out of him again as you spear him into the canvas, you quickly grab his arm and lock in the Crippler Crossface again, making sure that this time you are between him and the ropes.
