“Eight!…”

“And Shin Choon-hee has let herself get stuck outside the ring with the count at eight!” Dan Rich shouted.

“She’s gotta shake off the pain and make a beeline for the apron!” Brent Christi barked, his arms rigid against his sides as he leaned forward in anticipation. 

All three announcers were still standing behind their chairs, Rhonda having quickly snatched their headsets off the table while Fiona had been fighting off Shin. Shin Choon-hee wobbled up to a stand, clutching her left arm as she grimaced. The champion had heard the eight count and trotted over to the apron, desperation in her eyes.

“Hey, wait, what is Kendra Snipes doing?” Rhonda suddenly pointed toward the south side of the ring, her two male counterparts snapping their heads in that direction.

Kendra had climbed up onto the south end apron and shouted something at the official just as he was about to count to nine. Seeing Kendra, the referee stopped mid-count, his right index finger immediately extending out toward her in warning as he shouted, “Off the ring!”

“Oh, Kendra Snipes better get down,” Brent said, “she could get this match called…”

“What is she doing?” Rhonda blurted out, “She stopped the count which just [i]helped[/i] Shin Choon-hee!”

Shin reached the apron and hauled herself up as boos rained down from the ringside crowd. Obscene gestures flew in Kendra’s direction while the referee warned her a second time. “Kendra, [i]get off the ring now![/i]”

At the second command Kendra complied, throwing her hands up in dramatic fashion as she hopped back down onto the floor. It was in these few split seconds that something happened that no one could have predicted. Kendra’s feet had just touched the padding as Shin Choon-hee started to duck down between the bottom and middle rope and re-enter the ring. The official, the commentators, and most of the fans that were close to the action were too busy watching Kendra to notice Choi Minji running down the eastern ringside - her tag team belt firmly in her grasp and raised high. With a mighty two-handed swing, Choi Minji slammed the hard metal of her title belt into the side of Shin Choon-hee’s right knee. A sharp cry burst from Shin’s mouth as her leg gave out and she tumbled down with a thud onto the floor.

“Oh, my God!” Dan Rich flattened his hat as both hands clamped to his head in disbelief.

“No way!” Rhonda gasped, covering her mouth. There was a brief lull in the stands, the initial reactions at what Choi Minji had done now passing.

“This… this is a total betrayal we just saw! Choi Minji just took out Shin Choon-hee with her championship belt and the official missed it!” Dan Rich exclaimed, his voice drowned out as the crowd was quickly fired back up.

The referee rushed back toward the center of the ring. Choi Minji had already retreated to her corner, standing motionless, her expression as cold and unreadable as could be. Shin was slumped against the apron, her face frozen in an expression that was a mix of outage and pure shock as she locked eyes with Choi Minji.

“No!” Brent exclaimed.

“Yes, Brent, yes!” Rhonda nodded as the official raised both hands high for the final count.

[i]“Ten! Thats it!”[/i]
