Derrick Bateman VS Drew McIntyre | RAW | 3.15.12
“Introducing the 222 pound superstar from Cleveland Ohio, Derrick Bateman!”
Bateman came out, a huge smile on his face for his TNR début, more than happy to meet the out stretched hands as he made his way down the ramp and into the ring.
“And the opponent weighing in at 254 and hailing from bonnie Ayr, Scotland, Drew McIntyre!”
McIntyre however was the total opposite, ignoring the crowd and looking cold as he stalked towards Bateman.
When the competitors where in the ring, the signal for the bell was made.
The two men locked up McIntyre easily overpowering Bateman and getting him in a headlock, and punching him in the head repeatedly, until the ref pulled them apart, McIntyre shoving Bateman away from him as he turned to argue with the ref.
Bateman hit him with an unexpected dropkick, before scrabbling towards a turnbuckle.
McIntyre got to his feet, rage on his face, his hair now lose around his shoulders. Letting out a loud growl he turned and was hit by a missile dropkick.
Hitting the matt once more, Batman tried desperately for a pin,
McIntyre kicked out shoving Bateman off him.
The younger wrestler was quickly on his feet but was met by a clothesline.
McIntyre grabbed Bateman by the hair, hauling him up so he could execute a fireman’s carry gut buster. Laughing and shaking his head at the rookie, he kicked in the ribs then stomped on his back.
Once again pulling Bateman up by his hair, the Scot got right in Bateman’s face, “You’re pathetic!” He yelled in a mocking tone be fore shoving him back down to the matt.
“You’re not even worth my time!!”
McIntyre stomped on Bateman’s back making him cry out and one again the Scot laughed, shaking his head.
Walking around the ring glaring at the crowd.
As Bateman tried to get up, McIntyre ran across the ring and connected with his ribs sending him back to the matt. He was just trying to embarrass his opponent for now, he had no intention of going for the pin or a finisher even though it could easily be done.
The slow torture of Batemen went on a few minutes McIntyre sometimes letting him get to his feet before systematically destroying him once more.
Music blasting out caught the attention of the angry superstar and he turned the ramp smirking as Johnny Curtis came running down to the ring, followed by very worried looking Shaul and Eve, the woman stopping at the top of the ramp, watching the scene unfold.
Johnny didn’t get into the squared circle but instead stopped just outside glaring at McIntyre.
Derrick in the mean time had gotten to his feet and with a burst of energy hit the man-tastic and went for the pin, “1! 2! 3!”
Not even waiting for the ref to raise his hand, Johnny quickly helped his best friend out of the ring, Shaul and Eve running down the ramp to help Johnny with the rather limp Bateman, before Drew could realize what had happened and take his revenge.
