So there was a bit of the match in the middle that was cut out on accident. Here's the full match.
***
From the time keeper’s area, ring announcer Tony Ferrari makes the announcement for the next match of the evening.
Ferrari: The following contest is the Hell-in-a-Cell match, scheduled for one fall!
The fans cheer at the top of their lungs as the arena lights go out and the 5-ton steel structure descends from the rafters as ominous music begins to play. Spotlights focus on the Cell as it’s lowered to surround the ring.
Harvey: Ladies and gentlemen, it’s time for one of the most anticipated matches on tonight’s card, it’s time for Level-One versus Biggs, Hell-in-a-Cell.
Chase: There has certainly been no love loss between these two over the years, and tonight, it all comes to a head. Two men will enter, only one man will leave victorious!
A fan in the front row screams loudly as the Cell touches the ground, surrounding the ring, with just about six inches between its outer wall and the barricade. The fans are in a fever pitch as the ring crew makes sure the structure is securely in place.
Ferrari: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome The Killers!
The camera pans to the stage, where on the right side, the band’s instruments are set up. The Killers take the stage to loud cheers from the Toronto fans.
Brandon Flowers: How are you doing folks? We’re The Killers, by way of fabulous Las Vegas, and we’re here tonight at RassleMania IX to play our friend Biggs out to the ring!
There are more cheers from the fans as The Killers start to play “Flesh and Bone.”
As the song swells to the chorus, Biggs finally makes his entrance to thunderous applause from the crowd! He’s wearing a bright white ring jacket, with blue rhinestone accents, and the feathers on his jacket are made out of blue LED lights that flash in tune with the song! Even Biggs’ white trunks and boots are adorned with blue rhinestones, glittering brightly as the lights hit them. Blue laser lights shoot all throughout the Rogers Center, and Biggs sings along with the song as he heads down the ramp, slapping fives with the fans as he goes along.
Ferrari: Making his way to the ring first, from Seattle, Washington, weighing in at 217 pounds, he is “The Spaceman,” Biggs!
Harvey: The last time Biggs fought Level-One in a one-on-one contest, he had The Killers play him out to the ring then! Could he be doing it again for good luck?
Chase: If I know Biggs, and believe me, I do, he doesn’t believe in luck. He just loves to make a grand entrance!
As Biggs reaches the Cell itself, he grabs a hold of the side, shaking it a bit before stepping through the door and entering Hell-in-a-Cell.
Chase: Just look at Biggs’ eyes, they tell a big story heading into this match-up! You can tell he’s nervous. You can tell he might even be just a bit afraid! This is his first Hell-in-a-Cell Match, and considering that he’s going up against a man with plenty of experience inside the Cell in Level-One, this could be a long night for the Spaceman!
Harvey: Biggs knew what he was getting himself into when he agreed to take this match with Level-One. He has every reason to be nervous. But then again, so does Level-One!
Biggs mounts the top turnbuckle as The Killers finish their song. Biggs gives them a brief wave as they exit the stage.
Chase: And now we await the arrival of Toronto’s own, Level-One!
‘’Almost famous’’ by Eminem starts to play but after several seconds the music cuts out.
‘’Oh Canada’’ by Classified hits the PA system instead as the home town applause gives a huge applause to their favorite antihero as he walks out from the back wearing his old school 2007 face mask – instead of all black however, it’s red and white like his country’s flag.
Tony Farrari: Introducing next, he is the FORMER two Time True experts champion. He is the FORMER four time undisputed champion! He is the current holder of the billion dollar briefcase and one half of the visionary tag team champions. Weighing in at 278 pounds from… TORONTO, ONTARIO, CANADA… HE IS LEVEL-ONE!
Harvey: For anyone confused about Level-One’s reception – this is quite possibly the only place this man is well liked on planet earth.
Chase: This entrance isn’t as fancy as usual but I suspect it’s because Level-One means business.
He walks heads down the ramp and eyes Biggs inside the ring but before he enters he stops at the ramp and holds a finger up in the air.
Tony Ferrari: And now presenting Level-One’s special guest… CANADA'S OWN... JUSTIN BIEBER!
Harvey: What?
The crowd boos louder than ever.
Chase: Way to turn the fans against you, Level- One!
Justin Bieber comes running out from the back to accompany Level-One to the ring and approaches Level-One for a high five… instead, Level-One nails the kid with a clothesline and then continues to walk towards the ring.
And the crowd cheers, again!
Harvey: And now we’re back to loving Level-One again for those keeping score!
Chase: I guess it really is the end of the celebrity status era, Level-One means business and he’s here to wrestle the match of his life.
The stage hands drag Justin Bieber out of the arena as Level-One approaches the steel cell structure. He grabs the fence and shakes it back and forth before deciding that it is indeed sturdy enough to throw Biggs body into. Level-One steps into the cell door as it’s slammed and locked shut behind him – he orders the referee to keep Biggs back as he rolls under the bottom rope and climbs up the top turn buckle running his hands across his waist, telling the world that he’ll be champion again.
Harvey: Oh, I am so giddy right now! It’s Level-One Vs. Biggs in a hell in a cell match and it’s bound to blow you away!
Chase: I already got my popcorn buttered, Harvey! I’d be surprised if this wasn’t an instant classic.

The stage hands drag Justin Bieber out of the arena as Level-One approaches the steel cell structure. He grabs the fence and shakes it back and forth before deciding that it is indeed sturdy enough to throw Biggs body into. Level-One steps into the cell door as it’s slammed and locked shut behind him – he orders the referee to keep Biggs back as he rolls under the bottom rope and climbs up the top turn buckle running his hands across his waist, telling the world that he’ll be champion again.
Harvey: Oh, I am so giddy right now! It’s Level-One Vs. Biggs in a hell in a cell match and it’s bound to blow you away!
Chase: I already got my popcorn buttered, Harvey! I’d be surprised if this wasn’t an instant classic.
With both men inside the Cell, the referees on the outside chain the door shut, and close the padlock, trapping the men inside. The referee calls for the bell, DING! DING! DING!
As the bell rings, the action starts fast and furious with Level-One and Biggs meeting in the center of the ring, trading blows back and forth with the ferocity one would expect from a feud as bitter as theirs. After a few shots back and forth, Level-One gets a huge right hand in that sends Biggs staggering a bit, allowing Level-One to whip behind the smaller competitor and hoist him up in an Gut Wrench, and slam him face first into the mat! L1 follows up with a few hard stomps to the midsection before pulling Biggs up and backing him into the ropes. He gives Biggs a couple of Forearm Shivers to the face before attempting to Irish Whip him, but Biggs reverses it! Biggs drops to the mat as Level-One rebounds, and then Leap Frogs Level-One on the next go round. Level-One hits the ropes for a third time, and drills Biggs with a hard Shoulder Tackle, taking the Spaceman down! As Biggs tries to push himself back up to his feet, Level-One is right there with some hard shots to the side of the head, and as Biggs is dazed, Level-One forcefully yanks him back up to his feet, pulling him into a Side Headlock!
Chase: This match has been all Level-One in the early goings, and he’s really pacing himself, trying to wear Biggs down with moves that don’t expend too much energy for Level-One, but nonetheless punishes his opponent!
Harvey: The referee should really get in there and make sure that Level-One isn’t choking him!
Chase: Even if he was, it’s perfectly legal inside Hell-in-a-Cell!
Biggs is giving Level-One some punches to the side, trying to break free as Level-One wrenches his head. Biggs gets enough leverage to try and shove Level-One off, but before he can get any separation, Level-One gets a handful of hair, and drags Biggs right back into the Side Headlock! Biggs continues to try and fight his way out, giving L1 a few more punches to the side, and tries shoving him off once more, only for Level-One to get a handful of hair again, pulling Biggs back in! This time, Level-One gets down to one knee, and continues to try and smother Biggs with the headlock.
Chase: Who would have thought that coming into this match, we would see it start off with technically sound wrestling!? I thought for sure these two would be so apt to try and kill each other, that they’d go balls to the wall from the get go!
Harvey: Well if you consider hair pulling to be sound, technical wrestling, then I guess you’re right. Still, both of these men are smart enough to know what got them to the level that they’re each at, and it isn’t brawling, it’s their wrestling ability! The match is still young, I’m sure that mayhem will soon ensue!
After a few moments, Level-One gets up from one knee, and releases the Headlock, grabbing a hold of Biggs’ hair and violently slamming him backwards into the mat! There’s a sizable portion of the crowd booing Level-One’s tactics for the beginning stages of the match, but he heeds them no attention, stomping Biggs repeatedly as the Spaceman tries to roll to the corner. Biggs reaches the turnbuckle, and starts to pull himself up, prompting Level-One to charge right in! Biggs just barely dodges the attempted Clothesline in the corner, and Level-One clutches his sternum in pain as Biggs gets behind him to Clip him at the Knees!
As Biggs has the big man down to one knee, he gets a running start towards the opposite ropes, and gives Level-One a Front Feet Dropkick to the back of the head! With Level-One down, Biggs quickly hops out onto the ring apron, and looks to go for a Slingshot Flipping Leg Drop, but Level-One rolls out of the way! Both men are to their feet at roughly the same time, but Level-One gets the advantage, Irish Whipping Biggs towards the ropes! On the way back, however, Level-One telegraphs a Backbody Drop, and Biggs puts on the breaks, kicking his leg up and nailing Level-One right in the chest! Biggs follows up with a couple more stiff kicks to the Midsection before grabbing a hold of Level-One’s head and delivering a quick DDT! Biggs knows it’s far too early to attempt a pinfall, so instead, he gives Level-One a few stiff kicks to the ribs before pulling him back up to a vertical base. Biggs goes to whip Level-One towards the ropes, but Level-One keeps a hold of Biggs’ arm, and pulls him in for a Flipping Clothesline that practically turns Biggs inside out!
Chase: What a devastating Clothesline from Level-One right there! Biggs has got to be feeling at least a little bit loopy after that one!
After a couple of stomps, Level-One pulls Biggs up by the head, and whips him hard into the corner! Level-One goes for another Running Clothesline, but Biggs grabs a hold of the top ropes with both hands, and jumps up, driving both of his Knees into the face of Level-One! As Level-One gets turned around, briefly dazed, Biggs pulls himself up into a seated position on the top rope, but before he can respond, Level-One turns right around and shoves him off the top rope to the arena floor! Biggs falls hard onto the mat, and rolls back first into the side of the Cell!
Chase: Looks like we’re about to get our first taste of the Cell in this match-up!
Harvey: Biggs is in trouble early on in this match!
Level-One is quick to follow Biggs outside of the ring, and he pulls the Spaceman up to a seated position, propping him up against the wall of the Cell. He then places his boot into the throat of Biggs, grabbing the Cell as he does so!
Harvey: Level-One doesn’t want this one going long at all! He’s trying to choke Biggs out!
Indeed, Biggs’ face is looking an interesting shade of purple as Level-One continues to press his boot into the Adam’s apple of the smaller competitor! Biggs is kicking his feet, and has a wild eyed look on his face as he tries desperately to break out, but to no avail! As Biggs’ legs stop kicking, Level-One relents, and proceeds to stomp a mudhole into Biggs, bringing him all the way down on the mat. He then mounts the Spaceman, launching a volley of stiff shots the forehead, just pummeling Biggs, giving him no chance to respond. After about a dozen shots, Level-One pulls Biggs up by the hair, slamming him back first into the Cell before bouncing his head off the ring apron and rolling him back in. He slides in himself, and mockingly puts a single boot on Biggs’ chest, going for a cover, 1

Biggs gets his shoulder up!
Harvey: It’s going to take a lot more than that for Level-One to put Biggs away!
Chase: I’m sure he’s well aware of that. But what Level-One is doing here is making a statement! He’s telling Biggs that he’s going to be the one to dictate the pace of the match. He’s telling Biggs that he’s in complete control!
Level-One shows no signs of frustration over Biggs kicking out, instead walking over to Biggs’ legs, splitting them in a wishbone pattern, and stomping him right in the nuts! A rather sizable section of Biggs supporters in the crowd boos this action, and the ref just stands there, unable to do anything! Biggs is coughing quite a bit as he holds his jollies in pain, which allows Level-One to pull him by the hair.
Once he has Biggs up to a vertical base, he whips him hard into the ropes, catching him with a High Knee to the midsection on the rebound, sending Biggs flipping end over end, and back to the mat! Level-One talks some trash talk to the downed Biggs before kicking him right in the side of the head! He goes for another cover, 1

Biggs kicks out!
Harvey: Level-One is just keeping the pressure up, not giving Biggs any time to recover!
Chase: This Is exactly what Level-One wants to be doing at this point of the match. He’s wearing Biggs down, and making him expend precious energy every time he’s forcing him to kick out! He hasn’t made much use of the Cell yet, but he hasn’t really needed to!
Level-One continues to absolutely smother Biggs, pulling him up by the hair, and hoisting him onto his shoulders. From here, Lester just presses Biggs up and drops him right in front himself, running to the ropes and nailing Biggs with a Short Dropkick to the ribs! Biggs gets rolled beneath the ropes, and as he begins to pull himself up on the apron, Level-One gets a running start and nails him with a Running Big Boot, launching Biggs face first into the side of the Cell! The fans wince as Biggs falls sickeningly to the floor below!
Chase: This has just been an absolute mugging of Biggs at the hands of Level-One so far! Biggs hasn’t been able to get any semblance of sustained offense at all!
Harvey: He really hasn’t. If Biggs wants to have any chance at being able to win this match, he needs to be able to find some way to counter the brutality of Level-One!
Level-One takes his time following Biggs to the outside, stepping out onto the ring apron and appealing to the fans before hopping down to join Biggs on the floor. Biggs is curled up in the fetal position next to the Cell wall, and Level-One gives him a couple of more hard kicks to the ribs before reaching down and beginning to pull Biggs up. On the way up, however, Biggs gets a hold of Level-One’s waistband, and pulls down hard, driving Level-One face first into the steel! As Level-One tries to shake the cobwebs, Biggs uses the Cell to pull himself back up to his feet, and takes a few steps back from his adversary. Biggs measures up Level-One, before rushing in for a Running High Knee! However, Level-One counters by grabbing Biggs around the throat and lifting him up for a vicious Choke Slam to the arena floor!
Chase: How often do we see the Chokeslam from Level-One!? Not very!
Harvey: It seems that any time Biggs tries to get any sort of offense going against Level-One, the big man always has an answer for it!
Level-One pulls Biggs up by the hair and rolls him back into the ring, sliding in behind him. He goes for the cover, 1

Biggs gets his shoulder up!
Chase: Had Level-One just covered Biggs outside of the ring, he would have had Biggs beat right there!
Harvey: I don’t think there’s enough room outside the ring for Level-One to go for the cover!
Level-One mounts Biggs again, pummeling him some more before grabbing an hold of his head and dragging him back up to his feet. Level-One gives Biggs a hard whip towards the turnbuckle, and follows him. As Biggs reaches the corner, he gets both hands on the top rope, and pushes himself up, trying to catch Level-One for some sort of Headscissors, but Level-One sees it coming and steps to the side, lifting his knee to drive it into the midsection of The Spaceman! Biggs holds his midsection in pain as Level-One grabs the center rope and begins to knee Biggs in the side repeatedly, causing him to roll beneath the ropes and fall to the floor below!
Harvey: Level-One has really put a hurting on the midsection of Biggs in this match-up. That’s certainly going to come into play as this match wears on!
Chase: It certainly is. Not only is it going to make it harder and harder for Biggs to be able to kick out, but it’s also going to inhibit his breathing! A smart, smart gameplan from Level-One, executed to perfection thus far!
Level-One steps out onto the apron, waiting for Biggs to start to make his way to his feet, before launching off and nailing Biggs right between the eyes with a Double Axe Handle! Biggs looks to be out of it as Level-One grabs him beneath the armpits and presses him right into the Cell wall, his feet a good two feet of the ground! Level-One then sticks his left arm into the throat of Biggs, pinning him against the Cell, suspended in the air, while he uses his right hand to deliver some vicous Uppercuts to the midsection of Biggs!
”You’re done, Biggs! You’re done!” Level-One yells as he continues to beat down on the Spaceman. Biggs’ feet are kicking frantically, but there’s little he can do but glare angrily at Level-One as his face gets more and more red! Level-One releases the choke hold, allowing Biggs to fall limply to the floor, and gives him a few more hard kicks to the ribs!
Harvey: This is just getting hard to watch. I don’t think Biggs was expecting this when he signed up for this match!
Chase: Well, some nights, the other guy just has your number. Tonight, Level-One has Biggs’ number!
Level-One has an incredibly confident look in his eyes as he walks to the legs of Biggs, grabbing a hold of them, and catapulting Biggs right towards the Cell! But Biggs pulls of a Spider-Man grab on the Cell wall, and before Level-One has a chance to even stand up, Biggs jumps off to nail him with an Elbow Drop right to the heart! Biggs is quick to mount Level-One, and gives him a series of fists and elbows of his own, before grabbing Level-One by the sides of his head, and bouncing the back of his head up and down off the arena floor! The fans are coming back to life as Biggs climbs the Cell again, and delivers another Elbow Drop right to the heart of the big man!
Biggs manages to pull Level-One back up to his feet, and rams his head into the Cell, holding it there and scrapping it across the steel chainlink! Biggs draws first blood, and rams Level-One’s head into the Cell once more before rolling him back into the ring! With Level-One laid out on the inside, Biggs hops up onto the apron, and slingshots himself onto the top rope, jumping off for a Springboard Shooting Star Press! He hooks both the legs of Level-One, 1

Level-One gets his shoulders up!
Harvey: Biggs is getting back into this thing! We might just have a fight on our hands, instead of a beat down!
Biggs tries to press his advantage, rolling Level-One onto his belly, and hooking his arms into a Double Underhook. Biggs then proceeds to deliver a series of Ultimate Knee Strikes to the crown of Level-One’s head, seven of them in quick succession! As Level-One is dazed, Biggs floats over onto his back, and applies the Camel Clutch! He maintains control of the clutch with his right arm, while using his left to give Level-One some Crossface Forearms right into his bloody forehead!
Chase: We’ve seen that Level-One’s been targeting Biggs’ midsection so far this match, but Biggs has decided to focus on the head of his opponent! There’s a distinct size difference between the two, and if Biggs get find a way to get Level-One knocked silly, well, that would make up for the size difference in a hurry!
Harvey: Also, Biggs’ offense so far has been focused on keeping Level-One grounded. Everyone’s relatively the same height when they’re laid out on the mat!
After about half-a-dozen Crossface Forearms, Level-One begins to push himself up, and wraps his arms around Biggs’ legs, getting up to his feet with Biggs still on his back! Level-One goes to fall back, but Biggs slips out of his grasp, causing Level-One to fall flat on his back on the mat! Biggs is quick to respond with a Standing Moonsault, going for another cover, 1

Level-One launches Biggs up, pressing him off to break the count! Level-One is pissed at this point, and as Biggs uses the ropes to pull himself up, Level-One comes charging in! Biggs has the wherewithal to counter with a Drop Toe Hold, hanging Level-One up on the center rope! Biggs grabs a hold of the top rope and slingshots himself over, catching Level-One with a Slingshot Guillotine across the back of the neck! Level-One gets sprung off the ropes, and lands had backfirst on the mat, his head connectinging sickeningly with the mat! Biggs makes his way from the floor all the way to the top rope in a flash, and leaps off for the UFO Frog Splash, but Level-One gets his knees up, driving them into the chest of Biggs as he comes flying down! Both men are laid out on the mat as the fans watch on eagerly!
Harvey: We’re essentially at a reset point in this match-up! Both men are down, and whomever reaches his feet first will be at a serious advantage!
Chase: I have to disagree with you, partner. Level-One has done much more damage to Biggs than Biggs has done to him, so this is hardly a reset point!
Biggs is up to his feet first, and as Level-One reaches a vertical base, Biggs is right there to take him down with a Running Forearm right to the face! Level-One gets back up to receive another Running Forearm! Biggs manages to chain together another three Running Forearms, and Level-One decides to roll outside of the ring to try and regroup after the fifth one. Biggs gives him no time at all, though, getting a running start and diving through the ropes with a Suicide Plancha, sending Level-One right into the Cell wall! A loud “BIGGS! BIGGS! BIGGS!” chant gets going.
Harvey: That was high risk-high reward for Biggs right there!
Chase: He’s darn lucky that Suicide Plancha paid off, otherwise, he would have flown head first right into the Cell!
Biggs is fired up by the string of offense he’s been able to get in, and he pulls Level-One up, giving him some hard body blows as he presses him up against the cage, finishing off his flurry with a hard European Uppercut! As Level-One is dazed up against the Cell wall, Biggs hops up onto the apron and jumps off, connecting with a Flying Knee right to the jaw that sends Level-One falling down to the floor! Biggs is quick to pull Level-One up and roll him into the ring, but rather than following him in, Biggs begins to rummage beneath the ring. The fans pop as he emerges with a moderately sized stuffed monkey, lifting it high in the air for all to see!
Chase: Level-One is not going to like this! I don’t like this!
Harvey: Well, Level-One has been calling Biggs the monkey on his back for months now, and it looks like Biggs is going have some fun at Level-One’s expense!
Biggs slides back into the ring, with the monkey in hand, and rolls Level-One onto his belly. Biggs then mounts Level-One, placing the monkey between his shoulder blades before unloading with a series of rights and lefts to the back of Level-One’s head! The big man tries to get his hands up to defend himself, but Biggs is attacking with such force that many of the shots get through Level-One’s defenses!
Chase: Now Level-One really does have a monkey on his back! This is a travesty!
Harvey: Biggs has been training at the Xtreme Couture Gym right here in Toronto, Cananda the past couple of weeks, working specifically on his striking game! It looks like that training is paying dividends, because Level-One literally has no defense for Biggs’ attacks right now!
There’s a fire and intensity in Biggs’ eyes, almost an animal like savagery, as he continues to pummel the living daylights out of the back of Level-One’s head! The ref can only watch on as Biggs transitions to Elbows and Forearm Shots to the back of Level-One’s noggin! The crowd is split between cheering and stunned silence.
Chase: I didn’t know that Biggs still had it in him! He’s flat out assaulting Level-One right now!
Biggs grits his teeth, and is breath heavy as he finally relents on Level-One, who appears to be out of it completely. He dismounts L1, and rolls him onto his back, holding the stuffed monkey on the chest of Level-One to go for a pin attempt!
Harvey: How’s this for adding insult to injury!?
The ref begins the count, 1

another kick out from Level-One! Biggs runs his hands through his hair, trying to hold back his frustration. As he goes to pull Level-One back to his feet, L1 responds with a hard shove, followed up with a lightning quick Pele Kick, catching Biggs right between the eyes! Biggs falls to the mat like a ton of bricks, and Level-One doesn’t even bother going for a cover. Instead, he goes over and picks up the stuffed monkey, ripping its head right off with his mouth! This draws cheers from Torontonian natives but also loud boos from the Biggs supporters in the crowd. Level-One then immediately goes back to Biggs, choking him with his right hand as he shoves the beheaded monkey in Biggs’ face with his left hand!
”You think this is some kind of joke, you little shit!? This isn’t a fucking joke!”
Chase: I told you it wasn’t smart of Biggs to introduce that stuffed monkey into this match! All that it’s served to do is piss Level-One off something fierce!
Harvey: I think Level-One was going to be pissed off anyways coming into this match! Still, you can easily feel the hatred between these two mega stars!
Level-One is absolutely livid as he continues to choke the life out of Biggs. Once the Spaceman goes limp, Level-One finally lets go of his throat, and pulls him up by the hair. He pulls him in position for a Powerbomb, giving him a couple of hard Clubbing Blows to the back before hoisting Biggs up. He then walks over to the ropes and launches Biggs, Powerbombing him into the side of the Cell! There’s an audible reaction from the crowd as Biggs falls about eight feet to the floor, and he’s a crumpled mess as Level-One steps out onto the apron, and hops down to the floor himself. He gives Biggs a few more punishing shots as he pulls him up to his feet and whips him hard shoulder first into the nearby steel steps!
Biggs screams out in pain, and clutches his left shoulder as Level-One wastes no time coming right in and punching the left shoulder socket again and again! Biggs has no defense for the assault being dealt to him, just taking it as Level-One has an almost sadistic glee plastered across his face. Level-One grabs a hold of Biggs’ head and left arm, and slams him backwards into the steps once more! Level-One kicks the top step off, and lays Biggs’ arm across it, giving him a couple of stomps to keep him down as he heads over to retrieve the top part of the steps. Level-One picks them up, and raises them high above his head.
Harvey: He’s going to break Biggs’ arm if he does this! Level-One isn’t looking to just win this match, he wants to take Biggs out of commission, perhaps for good!
Chase: And you’re surprised by this? Level-One has been saying all along how he wants to get rid of Biggs once and for all, and Hell-in-a-Cell gives him just that chance!
Harvey: The way I saw it, Level-One wanted Hell-in-a-Cell so as to prevent anyone from trying to make a claim on the bounty on his head!
Level-One brings the steel steps down towards Biggs, but luckily for the Spaceman, he pulls out just in time, and Level-One drives the top step into the steel! Level-One’s hands are stinging as he keeps a hold of the top steps, as Biggs gives the bottom steps a swift Dropkick, sending them into the shins of Level-One, causing him to fall forward into the steel steps in his hand! Level-One’s head snaps back violently as it connects with the steel, and Biggs is quick to capitalize, grabbing a hold of the top steps, and sliding them into the ring, before sliding Level-One in as well. As L1 is still dazed, Biggs pulls him up and gives him a hard Snap Suplex right onto the steps! Level-One arches his back in pain as Biggs rolls back out of the ring, going beneath it to pull out a Steel Chair!
Biggs slams the chair against the side of the Cell a couple of times to which earns him a few boos from the rabid opposition before rolling back into the ring with the chair in hand! Once in the ring, Biggs proceeds to nails Level-One in the chest again and again with the top of the chair, driving it right into his heart! Biggs then lays the chair out across the chest of Level-One as he’s still laid out on the steel steps. He then mounts the top turnbuckle, calling for the UFO Frog Splash! He leaps off and connects, but the force of the move, as well as the steel chair, causes Biggs to bounce off of Level-One, and fall to the mat!
Harvey: That might not have been the best idea for Biggs there. He may have hit Level-One with a big time maneuver, but with the amount of time it’s taken him to reach his opponent, the window for victory may have already shut.
Chase: I don’t know who was hurt more on that exchange, Biggs or Level-One!
Biggs clutches his chest in pain as he crawls towards the steps, and then up them to drape an arm over Level-One. In all, about 15 seconds have passed since Biggs hit with the UFO Frog Splash and the ref beginning his count, 1

No! Level-One gets his shoulder up!
Harvey: Biggs took way to long attempting the cover there. He really needed to be able to cover Level-One right away there if he was hoping the end the match.
While Biggs looks up at the ref in disbelief, Level-One has the bearings to be able to roll out of the ring and regroup. Biggs just shakes his head as he makes his way to his feet, heading right over to the ropes. He grabs a hold of the top rope, going for a Slingshot Crossbody, but Level-One catches him in midair and violently whips him right around into the Cell!
Chase: So far, I’ve got to say that Level-One has been utilizing the Cell itself better between the two of them!
Harvey: Well it’s the experience factor. Level-One has been in this environment before, whereas this is Biggs’ first time inside Hell-in-a-Cell!
The brutality of the match is beginning to show on both men, but despite this, Level-One attacks Biggs ferociously, giving him another series of kicks and stomps to wear the Spaceman down. After about two dozen kicks to the kidneys and spine, Level-One pulls Biggs up by the hair, and begins to drag his face back and forth across the Cell!
Harvey: He’s grating his head like it’s a block of cheese!
Chase: Yeah, red, bloody cheese!
Indeed, Level-One has drawn blood and a sick smile comes across his face as he admires his handywork a bit before ramming Biggs’ head into the Cell once more! He then hoists Biggs up over one of his shoudlers, and marches around the perimeter of the ring a bit before launching Biggs face first into the Cell like a lawn dart! Biggs is out of it as Level-One rolls him up onto the apron, with his head hanging out over the floor. Level-One drives the point of his elbow into the open wound on Biggs’ forehead before giving him a rake across the eyes!
Biggs rolls back into the ring, holding his face in pain as Level-One calmly slides back in. Level-One stalks Biggs, like a lion stalking his prey, and as Biggs slowly makes his way back up, Level-One whips him hard into the corner! Level-One comes charging in with a devastating Body Splash, followed up with Level-One mounting the Turnbuckle to deliver 10 Punches to the forehead of Biggs. The Level-One fans in attendance count out with each blow!
“1!”
“2!”
“3!”
“4!”
“5!”
“6!”
“7!”
“8!”
“9!”
“10!”
Biggs is on Dream Street as Level-One dismounts the turnbuckle, and as he does, he pulls Biggs in for a Stalling Suplex! Level-One holds Biggs high in the air, letting all the blood rush to his head, before walking over towards the Steel Steps still in the ring, and driving Biggs’ back right into them!
Harvey: He just broke his darn back!
There’s a look of deep satisfaction on the face of Level-One as he pulls Biggs off of the steps and goes for a cover, 1

Biggs somehow gets his shoulder up! Level-One thought for sure he had Biggs at this juncture, and angrily holds three fingers up towards the ref. The referee just shakes his head no, reaffirming that it was only a two count. This sends Level-One into a rage, and from a seated position, he pulls Biggs up and begins bouncing his head off the steel steps again and again and again!
Chase: Remember Biggs’ history of concussions! This certainly isn’t helping matters!
Harvey: I know I said this earlier, but this is getting really hard to watch! It looks like Level-One is trying to straight up murder Biggs inside that Cell!
After the sixth shot to the steel steps, Level-One pulls Biggs down into a pinning predicament. The ref makes a count, 1

Biggs gets his shoulder up again!
Harvey: Biggs just won’t die! Remember folks, this match isn’t about titles, it isn’t about who will get the #1 Contendership! It’s only pride on the line between these two!
Chase: I was thinking it was more the animosity that these two have for each other that’s driving them on!
Level-One pulls Biggs up, whipping him towards the ropes. Biggs leaps up, though, going for a Springboard Crossbody, but Level-One catches him in mid-air, and delivers a Tilt-a-Whirl Backbreaker, driving Biggs’ back across his knee! He goes for the cover, hooking both legs, 1

Biggs gets his shoulder up once more!
Harvey: What a beautiful counter by Level-One there, but what an even more amazing kick out from Biggs! What’s it going to take for one of these guys to win this match!?
Chase: At this point, I have no idea!
At this point, Level-One is beginning to show some signs of frustration, pounding his fists into the mat and cursing at the top of his lungs. He pulls Biggs up into a Gorilla Press position, and looks to launch him out to the Cell once more. However, Biggs slides down behind him, and gives him a hard Dropkick to the back, sending Level-One toppling over the ropes to the floor!
Harvey: A timely counter from Biggs right there. Level-One was about to toss him right back into that Cell yet again!
Biggs slides out to the arena floor, and measures up Level-One as he begins to make his way to his feet. Biggs rushes in, catching Level-One with a Running Knee Lift, and as he’s spun around, Biggs gets a hold of Level-One’s head and begins to run up the Cell going for the Bigg Time! However, as he’s in mid-flip, Level-One pulls him down over his shoulder, and drives him into the side of the Cell with a Modified Powerslam! He lets Biggs fall into a heap on the arena floor and takes a look at Johnny Chase and Darren Harvey outside the cell seated at the announcer tables!
Harvey: Uh – Oh! Level-One just looked at us out here and I think I wet my pants a little.
Chase: I think it was a part of Biggs strategy to try to keep this inside the cage and I think Level-One knows that too given Biggs experience inside these steel structures.
‘’Get up you son of a bitch!’’
Biggs doesn’t oblige quick enough so Level-One grabs Biggs by his hair and drags him towards the Cell door where he violently tosses the back of his skull into the steel mesh! Biggs bounces off the cage door and is met on the rebound with a big boot to his chest sending him back first into the steel cage hard! The impact has Biggs fall to his butt in a seated position helpless to defend the boot that crashes into his face as a result of it. The crowd recoils in horror as Biggs slowly slumps over to his side.
Harvey: I think Level-One’s intentions are clear right now – he’s trying to use Biggs as his human key to unlock that door.
Chase: I don’t know whose brilliant idea it was to lock it shut anyways, it’s what these fans have been waiting for!
Mockingly, Level-One takes a glance at his imaginary watch and decides he’s had enough waiting for Biggs to get back up so he lifts up to his feet, takes a few steps back and then launches him into the door for good measure but the crafty Biggs finds it in himself to walk up the cage door, float up and over Level-One and hit him with in his back with perfectly placed flying drop kick which sends Level-One flying face first into the cage door which is knocked off its hinges sending Level-One to the outside of the cell!
‘’APW, APW, APW’’
Harvey: Wow – what a perfectly executed maneuver by our former undisputed champion Biggs!
Chase: I can’t take that away from him. Biggs is one of the most innovative Mega Stars of our time and he can swing the momentum in his favor at any time!^
The back of Biggs head hit the outside apron upon the replay but despite this Biggs is able to shake through it and follow Level-One outside the cell. Lester is laid out on his stomach with the steel door under him when Biggs locks in a surfboard lock! Biggs elevates Level-One to his knees and pulls back on his arm to make matter worse he’s forced to kneel down on the steel grating making the hold that much more painful causing the Canadian to yell out in agony!
Harvey: This is a brilliant display of technical wrestling with a little twist! It’s very possible that Biggs picks up a submission right here!
Chase: This is Level-One we’re talking about. He doesn’t have much quit left in him.
Biggs continues to crank on the hold with no threat of a rope break and as result Level-One has a few choice words for Biggs. ‘’I won’t tap out!’’
To which Biggs responds by slamming Level-One face into the broken door with a brutal curb stomp and promptly replies with - ‘’I didn’t think you would!’’
Biggs barb garnishes a laugh from Darren Harvey as Biggs is right back on the attack grabbing an arm of Level-One. Biggs plays to the crowd a bit as he points up at the Rasslemania banner hanging high above and quickly snaps off a vertical suplex sending Level-One’s back into the broken cage door! Biggs holds the suplex and kicks his legs up taking Level-One up and over with a second vertical suplex onto the cage door! The Biggs fans are on their feet as he looks for the trifecta – he’s going for the three amigos! Biggs pulls up for a third but Level-One offers resistance before he lifts Biggs up for a suplex of his own he holds it too long though and Biggs is able to land back on his feet… he goes for the trifecta again… NO! This time, Level-One quickly snaps off the counter suplex on Biggs!
Biggs squirms as his back hits the cage door and Level-One pulls himself up to his feet with a smile wide across from his face. He looks up at the Rasslemania banner with a cocky grin and mockingly and wags his finger back and forth uttering the word, ‘’no’’. This action earns him some heat from even the biggest Level-One supporters in attendance.
Harvey: As I understand it – Biggs was trying to pay homage to one of his favorite wrestlers growing up with the three amigos but Level-One was able to counter it and he turned it into an opportunity to mock Biggs.
Chase: Yeah, not even the Toronto fans liked that one but that’s what you’re going to get from a guy like Level-One. He’ll do anything to get inside your head and I’d imagine he was successful here.
Level-One walks over to Biggs and soccer kicks him in the sternum in order to kick him off the mangled door. Biggs rolls off the door and onto his stomach and Level-One picks it up and as if it was steel chair and slams it down onto the back of Biggs! Biggs cries out in pain and rolls onto his back as Level-One lays the mangled steel door on top of him. He turns to Chase and Harvey and doesn’t bother strip the table down instead he just stands up on it!
Harvey: Hey you, get down from there!
‘’Biggs, I am your favorite wrestler!’’
L1 wipes away a bit of his blood before he jumps off the announce table with a UFO SPLASH… but Biggs throws the cage door off of him and rolls out causing Level-One to land chest first on the flying caged door! The impact is horrifying as Level-One rolls over to his back holding his sternum and begins to cough up blood! Although, Biggs was able to avoid the impact he too is still down suffering from his injuries. He slowly crawls over to Level-One and puts an arm over his chest.
‘’1!’’

Kickout!
Harvey: Biggs almost capitalizes on Level-One’s mistake but it still isn’t enough! The steel door is officially destroyed! It won’t be in use much more, I’d imagine.
Chase: I didn’t expect it to be used as a weapon but these guys will tear each other apart with their finger nails if they have to so I am not horribly surprised either!
Both men are a bloody mess! Biggs finds it in himself to get up to a single knee first but Level-One soon follows. The two on their knees begin to trade fists to each other’s foreheads looking to open up the others wounds. Each shot is harder and harder and each shot is delivered faster and faster as the two beat each other senseless! The crowd roars with approval as they exchange rapid blows from a kneeling position slowly rising to their feet with each shot until they are both up to a vertical base still brawling with wild left and rights!
Harvey: Holy cow! What started as a technical matchup between two great technicians of our time has now developed into a drag out bar brawl!
Chase: This is crazy – blood is hitting our announce table they’re hitting each other so hard!
The two continue to throw blows toe to toe until Level-One drops his hands and begins to take unblocked shots to the forehead! Biggs tee’s off but Level-One is quickly discouraged as Level-One shouts at him. ‘’You hit me! Hit me! You hit like a little bitch!’’
Harvey: Oh, he isn’t about to… is he?
Chase: Yes, yes he is! Level-One is about to Level up! Biggs is in BIG trouble!
Biggs keeps swinging but realizes his effort is futile and is subsequently taken out of his boots by a vicious clothesline! The cold blooded Canadian lets out a primal roar before he ties Biggs up in a Muy Thai clinch and nails him with several nasty knees to the face! Blood gushes from Biggs nose as Level-One snakes behind him and drops him with a ‘’Level-One’’ back to back breaker! He holds the maneuver and then uses the momentum to drop Biggs to the apron with a face breaker! Level-One plays up to the crowd by pointing down at Biggs and then cupping his hand over his his ears as if he couldn’t hear his home town roar. Level-One takes a few steps back, does a back flip and then drops a leg over the throat of Biggs garnishing a huge applause from the crowd as he hooks a leg!
‘’1!’’

Biggs lifts a shoulder up!
Harvey: You know usually I’d criticize anyone for playing up to the crowd too much but I really think it’s all a part of Level-One’s strategy.
Chase: It is. He’s stealing moves from old time wrestlers whom Biggs used to watch and look up to growing up – only, he’s add his own flavor to them and proving a point! He is the best wrestler of ALL time!
‘’I am the best, Biggs!’’
Level-One grabs Biggs by his hair and pulls him up to his feet before lifting him up onto his shoulders with ease. He lets Biggs sit on his shoulder and drops his hands arrogantly and begins to spin around as fast as he can with Biggs still on his shoulders! However, before he nail the HASHTAG maneuver Biggs is able to reach out and grab the nearby cell and escape from the death spiral! With a free foot Biggs shoves a dazed Level-One forward as he crashes into the announce table like a bowling ball knocking over Darren Harvey and Johnny Chase!
‘’That son of a bitch!’’
The lack of commentary is welcome as Level-One quickly climbs back over the announce table and is admittedly in pursuit of Biggs who’s forced to climb the top of the cage to flee from Level-One. Biggs is the first one up top as he waits for Level-One to get up there with him. Immediately, Biggs is on the assault hitting Level-One with hard forearms to the back and head trying to gain the upper hand early! Level-One shoves Biggs away momentarily but Biggs stays on him chopping the big man down with leg kicks and then more forearms to the back and neck… until Level-One neutralizes Biggs with a low blow!
Without a second thought Level-One grabs Biggs by his tights and runs across the top of the cell… THROWING BIGGS OFF OF THE STEEL STRUCTURE DOWN INTO THE FIRST FEW ROWS OF THE CROWD!
‘’HOLY SHIT, HOLY SHIT, HOLY SHIT!’’
Biggs is down as he lands several fans that were caught in the cross fire! Quickly, all hell breaks loose in the stands as several rowdy teenaged Level-One fans begin to kick and stomp on the APW Mega Star, Biggs!
Harvey: Jesus Christ, I think President Jeff better get his lawyers on the phone because I see some more lawsuits in the APW’s future!
Chase: There was nothing fancy about that folks. Considering a larger than normal pro Level-One sentiment in the crowd – Biggs has just landed in hostile territory!
Several fans wearing Biggs t-shirt climb over children to get into the fray and wrestle off the attackers before the security steps in and quickly deescalates the dangerous situation. On the top of the cell Level-One points to the spot in the crowd where Biggs had landed as the crowd rises to their feet in anticipation. Casually, Level-One slowly backs up until he’s at the far edge of the steel cage.
Harvey: No… no, don’t do it! This is a 275+, 6 foot 7 grown man we’re talking about!
Chase: Yeah and he’s about to FLY!!!
Level-One charges forward and soars off the top of the cell with his arms spread wide and takes Biggs right back down again with 20 + foot cross body splash! Biggs and Level-One both hit the ground and Level-One’s body rolls up into the next row of chairs as the cell can visibly be seen shaking by the thunderous applause inside the arena.
‘’RASSLEMANIA, RASSLEMANIA, RASSLEMANIA!’’
Harvey: I can’t believe that just happened. These two are going to kill each other tonight.
Chase: They might as well just bring this whole building down with them while they’re at it!
More fans get into the mix this time by helping Level-One to his feet. He can barely stand on his own but APW security has a hard time from stopping the celebration in the crowd as several other fans embrace Level-One by patting him on his back, pouring celebratory beer on him and proudly draping the Canadian flag around his back! He takes a deep breath before he raises a hand in the air and nods his head up and down in which the crowd gives their home town hero a huge pop. In no mood to celebrate the bloodied Level-One picks Biggs up and slowly drags him through several rows down towards the ring before dumping his barely conscious body over the barricade and then falling over it himself!
Harvey: These two men are known for their great stamina but the human body can only take so much! They’re gassed!
Chase: Yeah, for now. These guys still have a second and third wind in them it isn’t over yet!
Level-One gets to his feet and picks up Biggs before he Irish whips him hard into the cage! Biggs chest bounces off of it and Level-One throws him back into the barricade upon the rebound! Biggs is downed and Level-One begins to stumble around the cell giving Johnny Chase the thumbs up on the go around. He re-enters the door less cell and begins to fish under the ring apron for a weapon. It doesn’t take him long to find it as he pulls out a HUGE steel ladder!
Harvey: Well, for those keeping track that appears to be a rather large ladder that has been stored under the ring for the North American title match that is coming up next.
Chase: Oh, I reckon the super marks are going to have a fit in the Rasslemania IX feedback threads and I love it! Ha-ha-ha!
The ladder is almost as tall as the hell in the cell cage itself as Level-One has a bit of a struggle maneuvering it through the cage. He manages it though and exits the cage. Biggs however is back on his feet! With the steel ladder in hand Level-One runs forward trying to take Biggs head off with it but he ducks underneath the ladder jab. Level-One turns around and Biggs hits a missile drop kick into the steel ladder sending which hits Level-One in the chest and knocks him to the ground taking the wind right out of him!
Harvey: I don’t know what Level-One was trying to do with that steel ladder but he sure wasn’t trying to climb it.
Chase: This could be exactly what Biggs needs to pull the momentum in his favour!
Level-One rolls through the shot and –quickly, he gets up from a kneeled position and tosses the horizontal ladder right into Biggs face as he comes charging forward! The sickening thud makes the crowd ‘’awe’’ as Level-One continues to control the match.
Chase: I guess I spoke to soon but I’m not complaining!
Harvey: Every time Biggs shows the fans a hint of coming back alive, Level-One just swats him back down again and by the looks of Level-One he’s got some more bad intentions in store.
Level-One than grabs the steel ladder and props it up against the cage at its top and in front of the announce tables on the back end – essentially creating a ramp just short of to the top of the cell while the crowd roars in approval.
Harvey: Oh, wow. Level-One wants this fight to occur at the TOP of the cell rather than on ground level and he’s using that ladder to drag Biggs up there with him.
Chase: I think both men have planned this match out in their head beforehand the only difference was Level-One brought a steel ladder and Biggs decided to bring his stuffed teddy bear.
Harvey: It was a stuffed monkey, Chase. Monkey.
Level-One grabs Biggs by his foot and drags him on top of the ladder before getting on top of it himself. He grabs Biggs by his ankle and slowly begins to walk up the ladder ramp step by step – dragging Biggs bloodied body up to the top of the cell rung by rung. It’s a rather violent display as Level-One repeatedly shouts out…
‘’I am going to kill him! I am going to kill him! I am going to kill him!’’
Level-One pulls Biggs just shy from the top when Biggs kicks Level-One square in his chest with his free leg. This causes to hit his head against the steel ladder hard but he still manages to remain elevated onto it.
‘’Not today!’’ Biggs shouts out.
The cold blooded Canadian is right back on Biggs pulling him up to his feet and then up onto his back! Biggs hits him with several elbows to his cheek bone which forces to Level-One to put Biggs back down on the ladder in fear of falling off! Level-One turns his back on Biggs and runs up the ladder, jumps up and manages to get to the top of the cage where he rolls over on his side to take a breather!
Harvey: Biggs is starting to show signs of life again! That was a close call both men could’ve fell off the ladder at any time.
Chase: Worse yet, steel ladders aren’t immune from breaking. It looked like it could’ve given way several times with all that weight up there.
As the bell rings, the action starts fast and furious with Level-One and Biggs meeting in the center of the ring, trading blows back and forth with the ferocity one would expect from a feud as bitter as theirs. After a few shots back and forth, Level-One gets a huge right hand in that sends Biggs staggering a bit, allowing Level-One to whip behind the smaller competitor and hoist him up in an Gut Wrench, and slam him face first into the mat! L1 follows up with a few hard stomps to the midsection before pulling Biggs up and backing him into the ropes. He gives Biggs a couple of Forearm Shivers to the face before attempting to Irish Whip him, but Biggs reverses it! Biggs drops to the mat as Level-One rebounds, and then Leap Frogs Level-One on the next go round. Level-One hits the ropes for a third time, and drills Biggs with a hard Shoulder Tackle, taking the Spaceman down! As Biggs tries to push himself back up to his feet, Level-One is right there with some hard shots to the side of the head, and as Biggs is dazed, Level-One forcefully yanks him back up to his feet, pulling him into a Side Headlock!
Chase: This match has been all Level-One in the early goings, and he’s really pacing himself, trying to wear Biggs down with moves that don’t expend too much energy for Level-One, but nonetheless punishes his opponent!
Harvey: The referee should really get in there and make sure that Level-One isn’t choking him!
Chase: Even if he was, it’s perfectly legal inside Hell-in-a-Cell!
Biggs is giving Level-One some punches to the side, trying to break free as Level-One wrenches his head. Biggs gets enough leverage to try and shove Level-One off, but before he can get any separation, Level-One gets a handful of hair, and drags Biggs right back into the Side Headlock! Biggs continues to try and fight his way out, giving L1 a few more punches to the side, and tries shoving him off once more, only for Level-One to get a handful of hair again, pulling Biggs back in! This time, Level-One gets down to one knee, and continues to try and smother Biggs with the headlock.
Chase: Who would have thought that coming into this match, we would see it start off with technically sound wrestling!? I thought for sure these two would be so apt to try and kill each other, that they’d go balls to the wall from the get go!
Harvey: Well if you consider hair pulling to be sound, technical wrestling, then I guess you’re right. Still, both of these men are smart enough to know what got them to the level that they’re each at, and it isn’t brawling, it’s their wrestling ability! The match is still young, I’m sure that mayhem will soon ensue!
After a few moments, Level-One gets up from one knee, and releases the Headlock, grabbing a hold of Biggs’ hair and violently slamming him backwards into the mat! There’s a sizable portion of the crowd booing Level-One’s tactics for the beginning stages of the match, but he heeds them no attention, stomping Biggs repeatedly as the Spaceman tries to roll to the corner. Biggs reaches the turnbuckle, and starts to pull himself up, prompting Level-One to charge right in! Biggs just barely dodges the attempted Clothesline in the corner, and Level-One clutches his sternum in pain as Biggs gets behind him to Clip him at the Knees!
As Biggs has the big man down to one knee, he gets a running start towards the opposite ropes, and gives Level-One a Front Feet Dropkick to the back of the head! With Level-One down, Biggs quickly hops out onto the ring apron, and looks to go for a Slingshot Flipping Leg Drop, but Level-One rolls out of the way! Both men are to their feet at roughly the same time, but Level-One gets the advantage, Irish Whipping Biggs towards the ropes! On the way back, however, Level-One telegraphs a Backbody Drop, and Biggs puts on the breaks, kicking his leg up and nailing Level-One right in the chest! Biggs follows up with a couple more stiff kicks to the Midsection before grabbing a hold of Level-One’s head and delivering a quick DDT! Biggs knows it’s far too early to attempt a pinfall, so instead, he gives Level-One a few stiff kicks to the ribs before pulling him back up to a vertical base. Biggs goes to whip Level-One towards the ropes, but Level-One keeps a hold of Biggs’ arm, and pulls him in for a Flipping Clothesline that practically turns Biggs inside out!
Chase: What a devastating Clothesline from Level-One right there! Biggs has got to be feeling at least a little bit loopy after that one!
After a couple of stomps, Level-One pulls Biggs up by the head, and whips him hard into the corner! Level-One goes for another Running Clothesline, but Biggs grabs a hold of the top ropes with both hands, and jumps up, driving both of his Knees into the face of Level-One! As Level-One gets turned around, briefly dazed, Biggs pulls himself up into a seated position on the top rope, but before he can respond, Level-One turns right around and shoves him off the top rope to the arena floor! Biggs falls hard onto the mat, and rolls back first into the side of the Cell!
Chase: Looks like we’re about to get our first taste of the Cell in this match-up!
Harvey: Biggs is in trouble early on in this match!
Level-One is quick to follow Biggs outside of the ring, and he pulls the Spaceman up to a seated position, propping him up against the wall of the Cell. He then places his boot into the throat of Biggs, grabbing the Cell as he does so!
Harvey: Level-One doesn’t want this one going long at all! He’s trying to choke Biggs out!
Indeed, Biggs’ face is looking an interesting shade of purple as Level-One continues to press his boot into the Adam’s apple of the smaller competitor! Biggs is kicking his feet, and has a wild eyed look on his face as he tries desperately to break out, but to no avail! As Biggs’ legs stop kicking, Level-One relents, and proceeds to stomp a mudhole into Biggs, bringing him all the way down on the mat. He then mounts the Spaceman, launching a volley of stiff shots the forehead, just pummeling Biggs, giving him no chance to respond. After about a dozen shots, Level-One pulls Biggs up by the hair, slamming him back first into the Cell before bouncing his head off the ring apron and rolling him back in. He slides in himself, and mockingly puts a single boot on Biggs’ chest, going for a cover, 1

Biggs gets his shoulder up!
Harvey: It’s going to take a lot more than that for Level-One to put Biggs away!
Chase: I’m sure he’s well aware of that. But what Level-One is doing here is making a statement! He’s telling Biggs that he’s going to be the one to dictate the pace of the match. He’s telling Biggs that he’s in complete control!
Level-One shows no signs of frustration over Biggs kicking out, instead walking over to Biggs’ legs, splitting them in a wishbone pattern, and stomping him right in the nuts! A rather sizable section of Biggs supporters in the crowd boos this action, and the ref just stands there, unable to do anything! Biggs is coughing quite a bit as he holds his jollies in pain, which allows Level-One to pull him by the hair.
Once he has Biggs up to a vertical base, he whips him hard into the ropes, catching him with a High Knee to the midsection on the rebound, sending Biggs flipping end over end, and back to the mat! Level-One talks some trash talk to the downed Biggs before kicking him right in the side of the head! He goes for another cover, 1

Biggs kicks out!
Harvey: Level-One is just keeping the pressure up, not giving Biggs any time to recover!
Chase: This Is exactly what Level-One wants to be doing at this point of the match. He’s wearing Biggs down, and making him expend precious energy every time he’s forcing him to kick out! He hasn’t made much use of the Cell yet, but he hasn’t really needed to!
Level-One continues to absolutely smother Biggs, pulling him up by the hair, and hoisting him onto his shoulders. From here, Lester just presses Biggs up and drops him right in front himself, running to the ropes and nailing Biggs with a Short Dropkick to the ribs! Biggs gets rolled beneath the ropes, and as he begins to pull himself up on the apron, Level-One gets a running start and nails him with a Running Big Boot, launching Biggs face first into the side of the Cell! The fans wince as Biggs falls sickeningly to the floor below!
Chase: This has just been an absolute mugging of Biggs at the hands of Level-One so far! Biggs hasn’t been able to get any semblance of sustained offense at all!
Harvey: He really hasn’t. If Biggs wants to have any chance at being able to win this match, he needs to be able to find some way to counter the brutality of Level-One!
Level-One takes his time following Biggs to the outside, stepping out onto the ring apron and appealing to the fans before hopping down to join Biggs on the floor. Biggs is curled up in the fetal position next to the Cell wall, and Level-One gives him a couple of more hard kicks to the ribs before reaching down and beginning to pull Biggs up. On the way up, however, Biggs gets a hold of Level-One’s waistband, and pulls down hard, driving Level-One face first into the steel! As Level-One tries to shake the cobwebs, Biggs uses the Cell to pull himself back up to his feet, and takes a few steps back from his adversary. Biggs measures up Level-One, before rushing in for a Running High Knee! However, Level-One counters by grabbing Biggs around the throat and lifting him up for a vicious Choke Slam to the arena floor!
Chase: How often do we see the Chokeslam from Level-One!? Not very!
Harvey: It seems that any time Biggs tries to get any sort of offense going against Level-One, the big man always has an answer for it!
Level-One pulls Biggs up by the hair and rolls him back into the ring, sliding in behind him. He goes for the cover, 1

Biggs gets his shoulder up!
Chase: Had Level-One just covered Biggs outside of the ring, he would have had Biggs beat right there!
Harvey: I don’t think there’s enough room outside the ring for Level-One to go for the cover!
Level-One mounts Biggs again, pummeling him some more before grabbing an hold of his head and dragging him back up to his feet. Level-One gives Biggs a hard whip towards the turnbuckle, and follows him. As Biggs reaches the corner, he gets both hands on the top rope, and pushes himself up, trying to catch Level-One for some sort of Headscissors, but Level-One sees it coming and steps to the side, lifting his knee to drive it into the midsection of The Spaceman! Biggs holds his midsection in pain as Level-One grabs the center rope and begins to knee Biggs in the side repeatedly, causing him to roll beneath the ropes and fall to the floor below!
Harvey: Level-One has really put a hurting on the midsection of Biggs in this match-up. That’s certainly going to come into play as this match wears on!
Chase: It certainly is. Not only is it going to make it harder and harder for Biggs to be able to kick out, but it’s also going to inhibit his breathing! A smart, smart gameplan from Level-One, executed to perfection thus far!
Level-One steps out onto the apron, waiting for Biggs to start to make his way to his feet, before launching off and nailing Biggs right between the eyes with a Double Axe Handle! Biggs looks to be out of it as Level-One grabs him beneath the armpits and presses him right into the Cell wall, his feet a good two feet of the ground! Level-One then sticks his left arm into the throat of Biggs, pinning him against the Cell, suspended in the air, while he uses his right hand to deliver some vicous Uppercuts to the midsection of Biggs!
”You’re done, Biggs! You’re done!” Level-One yells as he continues to beat down on the Spaceman. Biggs’ feet are kicking frantically, but there’s little he can do but glare angrily at Level-One as his face gets more and more red! Level-One releases the choke hold, allowing Biggs to fall limply to the floor, and gives him a few more hard kicks to the ribs!
Harvey: This is just getting hard to watch. I don’t think Biggs was expecting this when he signed up for this match!
Chase: Well, some nights, the other guy just has your number. Tonight, Level-One has Biggs’ number!
Level-One has an incredibly confident look in his eyes as he walks to the legs of Biggs, grabbing a hold of them, and catapulting Biggs right towards the Cell! But Biggs pulls of a Spider-Man grab on the Cell wall, and before Level-One has a chance to even stand up, Biggs jumps off to nail him with an Elbow Drop right to the heart! Biggs is quick to mount Level-One, and gives him a series of fists and elbows of his own, before grabbing Level-One by the sides of his head, and bouncing the back of his head up and down off the arena floor! The fans are coming back to life as Biggs climbs the Cell again, and delivers another Elbow Drop right to the heart of the big man!
Biggs manages to pull Level-One back up to his feet, and rams his head into the Cell, holding it there and scrapping it across the steel chainlink! Biggs draws first blood, and rams Level-One’s head into the Cell once more before rolling him back into the ring! With Level-One laid out on the inside, Biggs hops up onto the apron, and slingshots himself onto the top rope, jumping off for a Springboard Shooting Star Press! He hooks both the legs of Level-One, 1

Level-One gets his shoulders up!
Harvey: Biggs is getting back into this thing! We might just have a fight on our hands, instead of a beat down!
Biggs tries to press his advantage, rolling Level-One onto his belly, and hooking his arms into a Double Underhook. Biggs then proceeds to deliver a series of Ultimate Knee Strikes to the crown of Level-One’s head, seven of them in quick succession! As Level-One is dazed, Biggs floats over onto his back, and applies the Camel Clutch! He maintains control of the clutch with his right arm, while using his left to give Level-One some Crossface Forearms right into his bloody forehead!
Chase: We’ve seen that Level-One’s been targeting Biggs’ midsection so far this match, but Biggs has decided to focus on the head of his opponent! There’s a distinct size difference between the two, and if Biggs get find a way to get Level-One knocked silly, well, that would make up for the size difference in a hurry!
Harvey: Also, Biggs’ offense so far has been focused on keeping Level-One grounded. Everyone’s relatively the same height when they’re laid out on the mat!
After about half-a-dozen Crossface Forearms, Level-One begins to push himself up, and wraps his arms around Biggs’ legs, getting up to his feet with Biggs still on his back! Level-One goes to fall back, but Biggs slips out of his grasp, causing Level-One to fall flat on his back on the mat! Biggs is quick to respond with a Standing Moonsault, going for another cover, 1

Level-One launches Biggs up, pressing him off to break the count! Level-One is pissed at this point, and as Biggs uses the ropes to pull himself up, Level-One comes charging in! Biggs has the wherewithal to counter with a Drop Toe Hold, hanging Level-One up on the center rope! Biggs grabs a hold of the top rope and slingshots himself over, catching Level-One with a Slingshot Guillotine across the back of the neck! Level-One gets sprung off the ropes, and lands had backfirst on the mat, his head connectinging sickeningly with the mat! Biggs makes his way from the floor all the way to the top rope in a flash, and leaps off for the UFO Frog Splash, but Level-One gets his knees up, driving them into the chest of Biggs as he comes flying down! Both men are laid out on the mat as the fans watch on eagerly!
Harvey: We’re essentially at a reset point in this match-up! Both men are down, and whomever reaches his feet first will be at a serious advantage!
Chase: I have to disagree with you, partner. Level-One has done much more damage to Biggs than Biggs has done to him, so this is hardly a reset point!
Biggs is up to his feet first, and as Level-One reaches a vertical base, Biggs is right there to take him down with a Running Forearm right to the face! Level-One gets back up to receive another Running Forearm! Biggs manages to chain together another three Running Forearms, and Level-One decides to roll outside of the ring to try and regroup after the fifth one. Biggs gives him no time at all, though, getting a running start and diving through the ropes with a Suicide Plancha, sending Level-One right into the Cell wall! A loud “BIGGS! BIGGS! BIGGS!” chant gets going.
Harvey: That was high risk-high reward for Biggs right there!
Chase: He’s darn lucky that Suicide Plancha paid off, otherwise, he would have flown head first right into the Cell!
Biggs is fired up by the string of offense he’s been able to get in, and he pulls Level-One up, giving him some hard body blows as he presses him up against the cage, finishing off his flurry with a hard European Uppercut! As Level-One is dazed up against the Cell wall, Biggs hops up onto the apron and jumps off, connecting with a Flying Knee right to the jaw that sends Level-One falling down to the floor! Biggs is quick to pull Level-One up and roll him into the ring, but rather than following him in, Biggs begins to rummage beneath the ring. The fans pop as he emerges with a moderately sized stuffed monkey, lifting it high in the air for all to see!
Chase: Level-One is not going to like this! I don’t like this!
Harvey: Well, Level-One has been calling Biggs the monkey on his back for months now, and it looks like Biggs is going have some fun at Level-One’s expense!
Biggs slides back into the ring, with the monkey in hand, and rolls Level-One onto his belly. Biggs then mounts Level-One, placing the monkey between his shoulder blades before unloading with a series of rights and lefts to the back of Level-One’s head! The big man tries to get his hands up to defend himself, but Biggs is attacking with such force that many of the shots get through Level-One’s defenses!
Chase: Now Level-One really does have a monkey on his back! This is a travesty!
Harvey: Biggs has been training at the Xtreme Couture Gym right here in Toronto, Cananda the past couple of weeks, working specifically on his striking game! It looks like that training is paying dividends, because Level-One literally has no defense for Biggs’ attacks right now!
There’s a fire and intensity in Biggs’ eyes, almost an animal like savagery, as he continues to pummel the living daylights out of the back of Level-One’s head! The ref can only watch on as Biggs transitions to Elbows and Forearm Shots to the back of Level-One’s noggin! The crowd is split between cheering and stunned silence.
Chase: I didn’t know that Biggs still had it in him! He’s flat out assaulting Level-One right now!
Biggs grits his teeth, and is breath heavy as he finally relents on Level-One, who appears to be out of it completely. He dismounts L1, and rolls him onto his back, holding the stuffed monkey on the chest of Level-One to go for a pin attempt!
Harvey: How’s this for adding insult to injury!?
The ref begins the count, 1

another kick out from Level-One! Biggs runs his hands through his hair, trying to hold back his frustration. As he goes to pull Level-One back to his feet, L1 responds with a hard shove, followed up with a lightning quick Pele Kick, catching Biggs right between the eyes! Biggs falls to the mat like a ton of bricks, and Level-One doesn’t even bother going for a cover. Instead, he goes over and picks up the stuffed monkey, ripping its head right off with his mouth! This draws cheers from Torontonian natives but also loud boos from the Biggs supporters in the crowd. Level-One then immediately goes back to Biggs, choking him with his right hand as he shoves the beheaded monkey in Biggs’ face with his left hand!
”You think this is some kind of joke, you little shit!? This isn’t a fucking joke!”
Chase: I told you it wasn’t smart of Biggs to introduce that stuffed monkey into this match! All that it’s served to do is piss Level-One off something fierce!
Harvey: I think Level-One was going to be pissed off anyways coming into this match! Still, you can easily feel the hatred between these two mega stars!
Level-One is absolutely livid as he continues to choke the life out of Biggs. Once the Spaceman goes limp, Level-One finally lets go of his throat, and pulls him up by the hair. He pulls him in position for a Powerbomb, giving him a couple of hard Clubbing Blows to the back before hoisting Biggs up. He then walks over to the ropes and launches Biggs, Powerbombing him into the side of the Cell! There’s an audible reaction from the crowd as Biggs falls about eight feet to the floor, and he’s a crumpled mess as Level-One steps out onto the apron, and hops down to the floor himself. He gives Biggs a few more punishing shots as he pulls him up to his feet and whips him hard shoulder first into the nearby steel steps!
Biggs screams out in pain, and clutches his left shoulder as Level-One wastes no time coming right in and punching the left shoulder socket again and again! Biggs has no defense for the assault being dealt to him, just taking it as Level-One has an almost sadistic glee plastered across his face. Level-One grabs a hold of Biggs’ head and left arm, and slams him backwards into the steps once more! Level-One kicks the top step off, and lays Biggs’ arm across it, giving him a couple of stomps to keep him down as he heads over to retrieve the top part of the steps. Level-One picks them up, and raises them high above his head.
Harvey: He’s going to break Biggs’ arm if he does this! Level-One isn’t looking to just win this match, he wants to take Biggs out of commission, perhaps for good!
Chase: And you’re surprised by this? Level-One has been saying all along how he wants to get rid of Biggs once and for all, and Hell-in-a-Cell gives him just that chance!
Harvey: The way I saw it, Level-One wanted Hell-in-a-Cell so as to prevent anyone from trying to make a claim on the bounty on his head!
Level-One brings the steel steps down towards Biggs, but luckily for the Spaceman, he pulls out just in time, and Level-One drives the top step into the steel! Level-One’s hands are stinging as he keeps a hold of the top steps, as Biggs gives the bottom steps a swift Dropkick, sending them into the shins of Level-One, causing him to fall forward into the steel steps in his hand! Level-One’s head snaps back violently as it connects with the steel, and Biggs is quick to capitalize, grabbing a hold of the top steps, and sliding them into the ring, before sliding Level-One in as well. As L1 is still dazed, Biggs pulls him up and gives him a hard Snap Suplex right onto the steps! Level-One arches his back in pain as Biggs rolls back out of the ring, going beneath it to pull out a Steel Chair!
Biggs slams the chair against the side of the Cell a couple of times to which earns him a few boos from the rabid opposition before rolling back into the ring with the chair in hand! Once in the ring, Biggs proceeds to nails Level-One in the chest again and again with the top of the chair, driving it right into his heart! Biggs then lays the chair out across the chest of Level-One as he’s still laid out on the steel steps. He then mounts the top turnbuckle, calling for the UFO Frog Splash! He leaps off and connects, but the force of the move, as well as the steel chair, causes Biggs to bounce off of Level-One, and fall to the mat!
Harvey: That might not have been the best idea for Biggs there. He may have hit Level-One with a big time maneuver, but with the amount of time it’s taken him to reach his opponent, the window for victory may have already shut.
Chase: I don’t know who was hurt more on that exchange, Biggs or Level-One!
Biggs clutches his chest in pain as he crawls towards the steps, and then up them to drape an arm over Level-One. In all, about 15 seconds have passed since Biggs hit with the UFO Frog Splash and the ref beginning his count, 1

No! Level-One gets his shoulder up!
Harvey: Biggs took way to long attempting the cover there. He really needed to be able to cover Level-One right away there if he was hoping the end the match.
While Biggs looks up at the ref in disbelief, Level-One has the bearings to be able to roll out of the ring and regroup. Biggs just shakes his head as he makes his way to his feet, heading right over to the ropes. He grabs a hold of the top rope, going for a Slingshot Crossbody, but Level-One catches him in midair and violently whips him right around into the Cell!
Chase: So far, I’ve got to say that Level-One has been utilizing the Cell itself better between the two of them!
Harvey: Well it’s the experience factor. Level-One has been in this environment before, whereas this is Biggs’ first time inside Hell-in-a-Cell!
The brutality of the match is beginning to show on both men, but despite this, Level-One attacks Biggs ferociously, giving him another series of kicks and stomps to wear the Spaceman down. After about two dozen kicks to the kidneys and spine, Level-One pulls Biggs up by the hair, and begins to drag his face back and forth across the Cell!
Harvey: He’s grating his head like it’s a block of cheese!
Chase: Yeah, red, bloody cheese!
Indeed, Level-One has drawn blood and a sick smile comes across his face as he admires his handywork a bit before ramming Biggs’ head into the Cell once more! He then hoists Biggs up over one of his shoudlers, and marches around the perimeter of the ring a bit before launching Biggs face first into the Cell like a lawn dart! Biggs is out of it as Level-One rolls him up onto the apron, with his head hanging out over the floor. Level-One drives the point of his elbow into the open wound on Biggs’ forehead before giving him a rake across the eyes!
Biggs rolls back into the ring, holding his face in pain as Level-One calmly slides back in. Level-One stalks Biggs, like a lion stalking his prey, and as Biggs slowly makes his way back up, Level-One whips him hard into the corner! Level-One comes charging in with a devastating Body Splash, followed up with Level-One mounting the Turnbuckle to deliver 10 Punches to the forehead of Biggs. The Level-One fans in attendance count out with each blow!
“1!”
“2!”
“3!”
“4!”
“5!”
“6!”
“7!”
“8!”
“9!”
“10!”
Biggs is on Dream Street as Level-One dismounts the turnbuckle, and as he does, he pulls Biggs in for a Stalling Suplex! Level-One holds Biggs high in the air, letting all the blood rush to his head, before walking over towards the Steel Steps still in the ring, and driving Biggs’ back right into them!
Harvey: He just broke his darn back!
There’s a look of deep satisfaction on the face of Level-One as he pulls Biggs off of the steps and goes for a cover, 1

Biggs somehow gets his shoulder up! Level-One thought for sure he had Biggs at this juncture, and angrily holds three fingers up towards the ref. The referee just shakes his head no, reaffirming that it was only a two count. This sends Level-One into a rage, and from a seated position, he pulls Biggs up and begins bouncing his head off the steel steps again and again and again!
Chase: Remember Biggs’ history of concussions! This certainly isn’t helping matters!
Harvey: I know I said this earlier, but this is getting really hard to watch! It looks like Level-One is trying to straight up murder Biggs inside that Cell!
After the sixth shot to the steel steps, Level-One pulls Biggs down into a pinning predicament. The ref makes a count, 1

Biggs gets his shoulder up again!
Harvey: Biggs just won’t die! Remember folks, this match isn’t about titles, it isn’t about who will get the #1 Contendership! It’s only pride on the line between these two!
Chase: I was thinking it was more the animosity that these two have for each other that’s driving them on!
Level-One pulls Biggs up, whipping him towards the ropes. Biggs leaps up, though, going for a Springboard Crossbody, but Level-One catches him in mid-air, and delivers a Tilt-a-Whirl Backbreaker, driving Biggs’ back across his knee! He goes for the cover, hooking both legs, 1

Biggs gets his shoulder up once more!
Harvey: What a beautiful counter by Level-One there, but what an even more amazing kick out from Biggs! What’s it going to take for one of these guys to win this match!?
Chase: At this point, I have no idea!
At this point, Level-One is beginning to show some signs of frustration, pounding his fists into the mat and cursing at the top of his lungs. He pulls Biggs up into a Gorilla Press position, and looks to launch him out to the Cell once more. However, Biggs slides down behind him, and gives him a hard Dropkick to the back, sending Level-One toppling over the ropes to the floor!
Harvey: A timely counter from Biggs right there. Level-One was about to toss him right back into that Cell yet again!
Biggs slides out to the arena floor, and measures up Level-One as he begins to make his way to his feet. Biggs rushes in, catching Level-One with a Running Knee Lift, and as he’s spun around, Biggs gets a hold of Level-One’s head and begins to run up the Cell going for the Bigg Time! However, as he’s in mid-flip, Level-One pulls him down over his shoulder, and drives him into the side of the Cell with a Modified Powerslam! He lets Biggs fall into a heap on the arena floor and takes a look at Johnny Chase and Darren Harvey outside the cell seated at the announcer tables!
Harvey: Uh – Oh! Level-One just looked at us out here and I think I wet my pants a little.
Chase: I think it was a part of Biggs strategy to try to keep this inside the cage and I think Level-One knows that too given Biggs experience inside these steel structures.
‘’Get up you son of a bitch!’’
Biggs doesn’t oblige quick enough so Level-One grabs Biggs by his hair and drags him towards the Cell door where he violently tosses the back of his skull into the steel mesh! Biggs bounces off the cage door and is met on the rebound with a big boot to his chest sending him back first into the steel cage hard! The impact has Biggs fall to his butt in a seated position helpless to defend the boot that crashes into his face as a result of it. The crowd recoils in horror as Biggs slowly slumps over to his side.
Harvey: I think Level-One’s intentions are clear right now – he’s trying to use Biggs as his human key to unlock that door.
Chase: I don’t know whose brilliant idea it was to lock it shut anyways, it’s what these fans have been waiting for!
Mockingly, Level-One takes a glance at his imaginary watch and decides he’s had enough waiting for Biggs to get back up so he lifts up to his feet, takes a few steps back and then launches him into the door for good measure but the crafty Biggs finds it in himself to walk up the cage door, float up and over Level-One and hit him with in his back with perfectly placed flying drop kick which sends Level-One flying face first into the cage door which is knocked off its hinges sending Level-One to the outside of the cell!
‘’APW, APW, APW’’
Harvey: Wow – what a perfectly executed maneuver by our former undisputed champion Biggs!
Chase: I can’t take that away from him. Biggs is one of the most innovative Mega Stars of our time and he can swing the momentum in his favor at any time!^
The back of Biggs head hit the outside apron upon the replay but despite this Biggs is able to shake through it and follow Level-One outside the cell. Lester is laid out on his stomach with the steel door under him when Biggs locks in a surfboard lock! Biggs elevates Level-One to his knees and pulls back on his arm to make matter worse he’s forced to kneel down on the steel grating making the hold that much more painful causing the Canadian to yell out in agony!
Harvey: This is a brilliant display of technical wrestling with a little twist! It’s very possible that Biggs picks up a submission right here!
Chase: This is Level-One we’re talking about. He doesn’t have much quit left in him.
Biggs continues to crank on the hold with no threat of a rope break and as result Level-One has a few choice words for Biggs. ‘’I won’t tap out!’’
To which Biggs responds by slamming Level-One face into the broken door with a brutal curb stomp and promptly replies with - ‘’I didn’t think you would!’’
Biggs barb garnishes a laugh from Darren Harvey as Biggs is right back on the attack grabbing an arm of Level-One. Biggs plays to the crowd a bit as he points up at the Rasslemania banner hanging high above and quickly snaps off a vertical suplex sending Level-One’s back into the broken cage door! Biggs holds the suplex and kicks his legs up taking Level-One up and over with a second vertical suplex onto the cage door! The Biggs fans are on their feet as he looks for the trifecta – he’s going for the three amigos! Biggs pulls up for a third but Level-One offers resistance before he lifts Biggs up for a suplex of his own he holds it too long though and Biggs is able to land back on his feet… he goes for the trifecta again… NO! This time, Level-One quickly snaps off the counter suplex on Biggs!
Biggs squirms as his back hits the cage door and Level-One pulls himself up to his feet with a smile wide across from his face. He looks up at the Rasslemania banner with a cocky grin and mockingly and wags his finger back and forth uttering the word, ‘’no’’. This action earns him some heat from even the biggest Level-One supporters in attendance.
Harvey: As I understand it – Biggs was trying to pay homage to one of his favorite wrestlers growing up with the three amigos but Level-One was able to counter it and he turned it into an opportunity to mock Biggs.
Chase: Yeah, not even the Toronto fans liked that one but that’s what you’re going to get from a guy like Level-One. He’ll do anything to get inside your head and I’d imagine he was successful here.
Level-One walks over to Biggs and soccer kicks him in the sternum in order to kick him off the mangled door. Biggs rolls off the door and onto his stomach and Level-One picks it up and as if it was steel chair and slams it down onto the back of Biggs! Biggs cries out in pain and rolls onto his back as Level-One lays the mangled steel door on top of him. He turns to Chase and Harvey and doesn’t bother strip the table down instead he just stands up on it!
Harvey: Hey you, get down from there!
‘’Biggs, I am your favorite wrestler!’’
L1 wipes away a bit of his blood before he jumps off the announce table with a UFO SPLASH… but Biggs throws the cage door off of him and rolls out causing Level-One to land chest first on the flying caged door! The impact is horrifying as Level-One rolls over to his back holding his sternum and begins to cough up blood! Although, Biggs was able to avoid the impact he too is still down suffering from his injuries. He slowly crawls over to Level-One and puts an arm over his chest.
‘’1!’’

Kickout!
Harvey: Biggs almost capitalizes on Level-One’s mistake but it still isn’t enough! The steel door is officially destroyed! It won’t be in use much more, I’d imagine.
Chase: I didn’t expect it to be used as a weapon but these guys will tear each other apart with their finger nails if they have to so I am not horribly surprised either!
Both men are a bloody mess! Biggs finds it in himself to get up to a single knee first but Level-One soon follows. The two on their knees begin to trade fists to each other’s foreheads looking to open up the others wounds. Each shot is harder and harder and each shot is delivered faster and faster as the two beat each other senseless! The crowd roars with approval as they exchange rapid blows from a kneeling position slowly rising to their feet with each shot until they are both up to a vertical base still brawling with wild left and rights!
Harvey: Holy cow! What started as a technical matchup between two great technicians of our time has now developed into a drag out bar brawl!
Chase: This is crazy – blood is hitting our announce table they’re hitting each other so hard!
The two continue to throw blows toe to toe until Level-One drops his hands and begins to take unblocked shots to the forehead! Biggs tee’s off but Level-One is quickly discouraged as Level-One shouts at him. ‘’You hit me! Hit me! You hit like a little bitch!’’
Harvey: Oh, he isn’t about to… is he?
Chase: Yes, yes he is! Level-One is about to Level up! Biggs is in BIG trouble!
Biggs keeps swinging but realizes his effort is futile and is subsequently taken out of his boots by a vicious clothesline! The cold blooded Canadian lets out a primal roar before he ties Biggs up in a Muy Thai clinch and nails him with several nasty knees to the face! Blood gushes from Biggs nose as Level-One snakes behind him and drops him with a ‘’Level-One’’ back to back breaker! He holds the maneuver and then uses the momentum to drop Biggs to the apron with a face breaker! Level-One plays up to the crowd by pointing down at Biggs and then cupping his hand over his his ears as if he couldn’t hear his home town roar. Level-One takes a few steps back, does a back flip and then drops a leg over the throat of Biggs garnishing a huge applause from the crowd as he hooks a leg!

Biggs lifts a shoulder up!
Harvey: You know usually I’d criticize anyone for playing up to the crowd too much but I really think it’s all a part of Level-One’s strategy.
Chase: It is. He’s stealing moves from old time wrestlers whom Biggs used to watch and look up to growing up – only, he’s add his own flavor to them and proving a point! He is the best wrestler of ALL time!
‘’I am the best, Biggs!’’
Level-One grabs Biggs by his hair and pulls him up to his feet before lifting him up onto his shoulders with ease. He lets Biggs sit on his shoulder and drops his hands arrogantly and begins to spin around as fast as he can with Biggs still on his shoulders! However, before he nail the HASHTAG maneuver Biggs is able to reach out and grab the nearby cell and escape from the death spiral! With a free foot Biggs shoves a dazed Level-One forward as he crashes into the announce table like a bowling ball knocking over Darren Harvey and Johnny Chase!
‘’That son of a bitch!’’
The lack of commentary is welcome as Level-One quickly climbs back over the announce table and is admittedly in pursuit of Biggs who’s forced to climb the top of the cage to flee from Level-One. Biggs is the first one up top as he waits for Level-One to get up there with him. Immediately, Biggs is on the assault hitting Level-One with hard forearms to the back and head trying to gain the upper hand early! Level-One shoves Biggs away momentarily but Biggs stays on him chopping the big man down with leg kicks and then more forearms to the back and neck… until Level-One neutralizes Biggs with a low blow!
Without a second thought Level-One grabs Biggs by his tights and runs across the top of the cell… THROWING BIGGS OFF OF THE STEEL STRUCTURE DOWN INTO THE FIRST FEW ROWS OF THE CROWD!
‘’HOLY SHIT, HOLY SHIT, HOLY SHIT!’’
Biggs is down as he lands several fans that were caught in the cross fire! Quickly, all hell breaks loose in the stands as several rowdy teenaged Level-One fans begin to kick and stomp on the APW Mega Star, Biggs!
Harvey: Jesus Christ, I think President Jeff better get his lawyers on the phone because I see some more lawsuits in the APW’s future!
Chase: There was nothing fancy about that folks. Considering a larger than normal pro Level-One sentiment in the crowd – Biggs has just landed in hostile territory!
Several fans wearing Biggs t-shirt climb over children to get into the fray and wrestle off the attackers before the security steps in and quickly deescalates the dangerous situation. On the top of the cell Level-One points to the spot in the crowd where Biggs had landed as the crowd rises to their feet in anticipation. Casually, Level-One slowly backs up until he’s at the far edge of the steel cage.
Harvey: No… no, don’t do it! This is a 275+, 6 foot 7 grown man we’re talking about!
Chase: Yeah and he’s about to FLY!!!
Level-One charges forward and soars off the top of the cell with his arms spread wide and takes Biggs right back down again with 20 + foot cross body splash! Biggs and Level-One both hit the ground and Level-One’s body rolls up into the next row of chairs as the cell can visibly be seen shaking by the thunderous applause inside the arena.
‘’RASSLEMANIA, RASSLEMANIA, RASSLEMANIA!’’
Harvey: I can’t believe that just happened. These two are going to kill each other tonight.
Chase: They might as well just bring this whole building down with them while they’re at it!
More fans get into the mix this time by helping Level-One to his feet. He can barely stand on his own but APW security has a hard time from stopping the celebration in the crowd as several other fans embrace Level-One by patting him on his back, pouring celebratory beer on him and proudly draping the Canadian flag around his back! He takes a deep breath before he raises a hand in the air and nods his head up and down in which the crowd gives their home town hero a huge pop. In no mood to celebrate the bloodied Level-One picks Biggs up and slowly drags him through several rows down towards the ring before dumping his barely conscious body over the barricade and then falling over it himself!
Harvey: These two men are known for their great stamina but the human body can only take so much! They’re gassed!
Chase: Yeah, for now. These guys still have a second and third wind in them it isn’t over yet!
Level-One gets to his feet and picks up Biggs before he Irish whips him hard into the cage! Biggs chest bounces off of it and Level-One throws him back into the barricade upon the rebound! Biggs is downed and Level-One begins to stumble around the cell giving Johnny Chase the thumbs up on the go around. He re-enters the door less cell and begins to fish under the ring apron for a weapon. It doesn’t take him long to find it as he pulls out a HUGE steel ladder!
Harvey: Well, for those keeping track that appears to be a rather large ladder that has been stored under the ring for the North American title match that is coming up next.
Chase: Oh, I reckon the super marks are going to have a fit in the Rasslemania IX feedback threads and I love it! Ha-ha-ha!
The ladder is almost as tall as the hell in the cell cage itself as Level-One has a bit of a struggle maneuvering it through the cage. He manages it though and exits the cage. Biggs however is back on his feet! With the steel ladder in hand Level-One runs forward trying to take Biggs head off with it but he ducks underneath the ladder jab. Level-One turns around and Biggs hits a missile drop kick into the steel ladder sending which hits Level-One in the chest and knocks him to the ground taking the wind right out of him!
Harvey: I don’t know what Level-One was trying to do with that steel ladder but he sure wasn’t trying to climb it.
Chase: This could be exactly what Biggs needs to pull the momentum in his favour!
Level-One rolls through the shot and –quickly, he gets up from a kneeled position and tosses the horizontal ladder right into Biggs face as he comes charging forward! The sickening thud makes the crowd ‘’awe’’ as Level-One continues to control the match.
Chase: I guess I spoke to soon but I’m not complaining!
Harvey: Every time Biggs shows the fans a hint of coming back alive, Level-One just swats him back down again and by the looks of Level-One he’s got some more bad intentions in store.
Level-One than grabs the steel ladder and props it up against the cage at its top and in front of the announce tables on the back end – essentially creating a ramp just short of to the top of the cell while the crowd roars in approval.
Harvey: Oh, wow. Level-One wants this fight to occur at the TOP of the cell rather than on ground level and he’s using that ladder to drag Biggs up there with him.
Chase: I think both men have planned this match out in their head beforehand the only difference was Level-One brought a steel ladder and Biggs decided to bring his stuffed teddy bear.
Harvey: It was a stuffed monkey, Chase. Monkey.
Level-One grabs Biggs by his foot and drags him on top of the ladder before getting on top of it himself. He grabs Biggs by his ankle and slowly begins to walk up the ladder ramp step by step – dragging Biggs bloodied body up to the top of the cell rung by rung. It’s a rather violent display as Level-One repeatedly shouts out…
‘’I am going to kill him! I am going to kill him! I am going to kill him!’’
Level-One pulls Biggs just shy from the top when Biggs kicks Level-One square in his chest with his free leg. This causes to hit his head against the steel ladder hard but he still manages to remain elevated onto it.
‘’Not today!’’ Biggs shouts out.
The cold blooded Canadian is right back on Biggs pulling him up to his feet and then up onto his back! Biggs hits him with several elbows to his cheek bone which forces to Level-One to put Biggs back down on the ladder in fear of falling off! Level-One turns his back on Biggs and runs up the ladder, jumps up and manages to get to the top of the cage where he rolls over on his side to take a breather!
Harvey: Biggs is starting to show signs of life again! That was a close call both men could’ve fell off the ladder at any time.
Chase: Worse yet, steel ladders aren’t immune from breaking. It looked like it could’ve given way several times with all that weight up there.
