Good evening ladies and gentleman, and welcome to the REM Arena inside the mind of Mordecai. We last came to you we saw an astounding tag team bout that ended with The Miz and John Morrison come out on top over the Motor City Machine Guns. The Guns gave it everything they had, but it just wasn’t enough. This week we will be bringing you the finals of the 1,2,3 Cup. Shawn Michaels and his Sweet Chin Music will face off against Randy Orton and his initials. Of course if you want the quick cut go to my other article and get the official tally. Now, ring the bell!
The match starts off with Shawn Michaels taking Orton down and pummeling him. Not surprising considering the long personal history between these two. The ref manages to get Shawn off of Randy, but as soon as the ref moves, Orton takes down Michaels and starts pummeling him. The referee once again manages to separate the two, and send them too opposite corners. They come out of the corners and lock up. Shawn delivers a knee to Randy’s abdominal area, and then lays in some clubbing forearms to the bent over opponent. Randy winces in pain as he arches his backs, and staggers to the ropes. Shawn waste no time and delivers some viscous knife-edge chops that crack on Orton’s flesh. Shawn sends his adversary off the ropes, and tries for a clothesline. Randy ducks it however, rebounds off the ropes, and nails Shawn with a big clothesline of his own. Orton, still a little groggy from Michaels’ onslaught, gets slowly to his feet, as does Shawn. Orton rushes over though, and hit’s the bent over HBK with a knee in the side, thus knocking him out of the ring.
Orton rolls to the outside and lays in some big right hands to the skull of his opponent. He brings Michaels up and slams his head into the announce table. As Michaels touches his forehead to see if he’s bleeding The Legend Killer takes a second to catch his breath before going back to work. Randy whips Shawn toward the security barricade, but it’s reversed and Orton is the one who makes contact. He barely has time to feel the pain as HBK jumps on him, causing them both to spill over into the crowd. They brawl in the audience with Michaels controlling the offense, before flinging Randy back over into the ringside area. Shawn climbs over the barricade towards his opponent. He reaches down to a kneeling Orton, but Randy grabs Michaels’ tights from the waist and pulls on them, causing The Showstopper to hit the ring post. Randy rolls back inside. Unfortunately for Randy he can’t win this way, as there are no count outs in the REM arena. As Randy catches his breath the referee is making sure Michaels is okay after thwacking his head on the ring post so violently. Orton rolls back outside and hits some more of those stiff right hands before throwing Michaels back into the ring.
He may have taken a bit too much time though, as no sooner does he enter the ring then Shawn gathers just enough energy to tackle him down to the mat and recommence the pummeling he started earlier. Orton is able too fight out of it on his own this though as he rolls on top of Michaels and does some more pummeling of his own. He stands up and looks at his downed opponent. He starts stomping on all of the exposed limbs of Shawn Michaels, slowly making a complete circle all the way around the body. After he’s done with that he stands Michaels up in the corner, and hit’s a big back elbow. He then launches Michaels to the other turnbuckle. Instead of making contact though Shawn Flair Flips onto the turnbuckle then flips back down, and staggers on his feet. Then out of nowhere The Legend Killer hit’s the groggy Michaels with a tremendous clothesline, and covers for a two. Orton brings up his groggy rival, and proceeds to suplex onto the mat. He quickly gets back to his feet and follows it up with a big knee drop right to the chest of Shawn Michaels. He then lays in another knee to Shawn’s forehead. Orton has Shawn reeling so he gets down on his fists, and stares at Michael like a hungry snake. Michaels slowly gets to his feet, and as soon and he is fully erect Orton jumps for the RKO. He wraps his hands around Michaels’ head, but HBK manages to push Orton off of him. Orton goes into the ropes, and on the rebound Shawn manages to catch him with a Manhattan Drop. Shawn body slams is rival, and then goes to the turnbuckle, but he’s slow getting there. As he reaches the top Orton jumps towards the ropes in desperation. He manages to hit the top rope. The vibration causes Shawn to lose his balance and crotch himself on the turnbuckle.
Sensing an opening Orton heads to the top rope. He hooks Shawn’s head, and grabs the tights. He lifts him for a superplex, but Shawn won’t go. He tries again, but still The Showstopper refuses to budge. Finally HBK starts fighting back. He hits Orton in the ribs with one punch, and then another. A third punch and his grip finally starts to loosen. A fourth, and it’s broken. Then Shawn starts firing away at Orton’s head. He punches until the groggy Orton is hanging onto the ropes for dear life, and then he punches again, and The Legend Killer falls to the mat. Shawn raises on the top turnbuckle and this time jumps to skies and lands hitting an elbow drop on the downed Orton. Randy rolls to the other side of the ring reeling in pain, as Shawn gets fired up. Shawn takes his stance in the corner, and stamps his foot once. Orton starts to get up. 2...3. As Shawn continues to tune up the band Orton raises a little more. 4...5. Orton is up, and Shawn moves in for the kill. As he hurls the leg towards Randy it’s caught! Randy pushes the leg aside, and when Michaels spins around he hits him with an RKO! He covers 1...2...NO! Somehow Shawn kicked out. Orton can’t believe it, and starts arguing with the ref. The ref is telling Orton to back off, but he’s not listening. He starts getting belligerent. Finally the ref gets in Orton’s face and he backs off. As he turns around he has just enough time to see a super kick coming at his face…and duck it. The kick hit’s the referee and lays him out.
Distracted by what he just did Shawn doesn’t notice Orton run up behind him and hit the inverted headlock backbreaker. Orton then goes to choking Michaels. When he’s done there he stands up and stares down at his opponent. He walks over to a turnbuckle, and starts to take off the covering. When he gets done there and turns around he’s met with a Lou Thesz press, and punches to his skull from the tenacious Michaels. When Shawn gets done punching Orton he gets up and goes over to the referee, and shakes him. While Shawn is occupied with the referee Orton recovers and walks up behind Michaels. He grabs him by the hair, and throws him back first into the exposed turnbuckle. Orton catches his breath and then rolls to the outside. He goes over to the timekeeper and makes him get out of his chair, then folds it up and heads back to the ring. Orton jumps up onto the apron with the chair in hand, and when he does he is met with Sweet Chin Music to the chair, thus to his face. Shawn collapses as Orton lays motionless on the floor. The Heart Break Kid crawls towards the ref, and again tries to wake him. The zebra stirs ever so slightly. Shawn takes it as a good sign and walks over to the ropes. Orton has started to get to his feet. Michaels reaches to the outside, and grabs Orton’s head. He pulls Orton to the apron, but Orton breaks his opponents grip, and gives a hot shot on the ropes. Michaels is stunned, but Orton is once again on the floor trying to recover from that super kick. Orton gets to his feet enough to see that Shawn is holding his throat. The site of wounded prey, must be enough to give Orton the strength to slither into the ring. He Bursts towards HBK for a clothesline, but Michaels runs under it, bounces off the ropes, and hit’s the flying burrito. Shawn and Randy lay there motionless until The Heart Break Kid decides it’s time to kip up.
Shawn doesn’t waste any time going up top. He gets in position for Sweet Chin Music. When Orton gets to his feet he goes for it, but Orton rolls under Shawn’s extended leg. When Shawn turns around Orton greets him with a low blow, followed with another RKO. He hooks the leg just as the referee recovers. 1.….2.……3! Orton wins.
Well it’s not the longest match we’ve had here, but it certainly is one of the better ones. Just goes to show that bigger isn’t always better. I sure hope you enjoyed it. Next week we will watch two icons that defined their respective generations battle it out in “The Match That Should Have Been, But Never Was.” And don’t forget that the week before WrestleMania will we crown the first ever REM World Champion with two competitors yet to be determined. Thanks for watching, now, GET OUT OF MY HEAD!!!!!!!!!

I liked that match, i would have like to see a punt kick in it, but it was still good, and i'm glad you're doing a "match that should have been but never was" because i prefer seeing those, we've seen Shawn and Randy fight before, and it was good, but it's something we can see on youtube
