| Storm
looked extremely nervous as he headed to the ring. A shot at the EPW title laid in wait if
he could defeat a man who had beaten him on two previous occasions. |

| Jag
on the other hand looked extremely confident. He bullied Davis around the ring early on.
His size advantage and experience seemed to be too much for Storm. On numerous occasions
Jag embarrassed him and it seemed to be psyching him out. Storm took a break on the floor
to try and collect his thoughts. When he re-entered he started to make some inroads and
even managed to get Jag riled up. He charged Storm, who sidestepped him as he wound up on
the cold concrete. |

Jag
seemed more aggressive after that point. That seemed to work against him as his temper got
the better of him. He slapped Storm and was shocked to cop one straight back. Davis was
ready to fight now and was not backing down.
The fight did not take long to spill to the floor as Storm hit a huracanrana onto the
floor. He followed that up by backdropping Jag onto the entranceway. But he then made a
mistake and went crashing neck first into the guardrail. Jag smelt blood and went for the
kill. A northern lights suplex into the ropes had Storm in huge trouble. Jag then put
Storm over the guardrail before hitting a top rope legdrop. Davis was almost counted out
on two occasions but was just able to beat the count and get back into the ring. |

Jag
missed a moonsault, which allowed Storm to gain his bearings. A huge forearm sent Jag
crashing from the apron into the front row before Storm flew off the top rope and over the
guardrails onto Jag. He seemed to be growing in confidence but his neck was still
troublesome and Jag was soon back in control. A fisherman buster and top rope elbow drop
should have ended the match but Slick Rick stopped Jag from covering Storm. He told Jag to
punish Storm. A german suplex did further damage to the neck but Storm managed to flip out
of another attempt and hit a huge side back suplex.
The match went to the outside as Storm went airborne with a tope con hilo. The two men did
battle in the crowd until Storm backdropped Jag back into the ringside area. He then hit a
somersault senton over the guardrail before hitting the Eye of the Storm back in the ring.
Jag barely managed to kick out as Storm wondered what he had to do to win this match. |

| Referee
Dan, bit the dust after being clotheslined by both wrestlers. Jag gave Storm a vicious
half and half suplex before trying to suplex Storm on the concrete. Davis fought back and
sent Jag crashing to the floor. A rolling storm back in the ring may have spelt the end if
a referee had been present. After a long wait, Brett Corvus ran in but Jag was able to
just get a shoulder up. Storm went for another huracanrana but wound up getting
powerbombed. Jag brought a table into the ring to try and finish the match. Storm used
every last bit of energy to fight back and set Jag up for a superplex. Two low blows from
Jag stopped Storm in his tracks and he was given the Jagged Edge (Death Valley Driver)
from the 2nd rope through the table. He locked on a full nelson but Storm was able to get
to the ropes. In full view of the referee, Slick Rick pulled the rope away from Storm.
Instead of breaking the hold, Jag turned it into a cobra clutch/camel clutch hybrid. The
pain on Storm’s face was obvious and after holding on for as long as he could, he
eventually tapped out. |

crowd was stunned as Slick Rick started to verbally abuse Storm. After being called a
‘pussy’ Storm rose up and cornered Sanders. Just as it seemed that Rick would
get what was coming to him, Jag smashed Storm in the back with a chair. Mikey ran in to
try and gain revenge on Jag. He picked up the chair and chased Slick Rick and Jag from the
ring. Storm rose to see Mikey holding the chair and dropped him with a Yakuza kick. |

| This
was an unexpected ending to this event. Storm was obviously frustrated after putting in an
amazing effort against one of the very best wrestlers in Australia. Will he get another
chance at the title? That depends on who leaves Animosity with the belt. Will FN Carnage
be able to fend off the man who has taken his Invitational trophy and tag team title? Or
will Brad West take the last piece of gold that Carnage holds on to? |
