BATTLE OF THE BELTS XIV July 12, 1996 Note: archived copy only contains part of card (beginning with PRODIGY post #26) DOUBLE WINNING STREAK continues DIVISION II BILLY STARR vs. OUTLAW Outlaw tried to take this one early, catching Starr as he entered the ring, and beating him into the mat from even before the bell. Ref Ben Worthington finally decided to call for the bell, and Outlaw continued his domination of Starr. Outlaw kept the boots to Starr, until the Greensboro Champion was able to roll outside. Outlaw quickly followed, but Starr dodged a clothesline, caught Outlaw s arm and rammed it down hard around the steel ring post. From there, Starr started in, nailing Outlaw with a dropkick, and then a snap suplex out on the concrete. Starr rolled Outlaw in, following with a belly-to-belly suplex and hooking in a chicken wing. Outlaw didn t give it up with the chicken wing, but Starr kept it locked in, almost dislocated that previously injured right arm. Starr finally let up on the chicken wing, but not in any other way, whipping Outlaw into the corner and then sitting him on the top turnbuckle. A superplex from the top solidified the momentum for Starr and got him the one-two-three to begin his run here in the Winning Streak. WINNER: BILLY STARR DIVISION I WILD ASIAN vs. TIDLE WAVE A couple of words could sum this one up: no contest. The former Presidential Champ was able to finish the youngster off in just under five minutes. Tidle Wave did get a dropkick in, but the onslaught from by the man known for his high-risk maneuvers was too much. Asian came from everywhere, over the top, off the top, under the bottom, even around the ropes! Wave just wasn t quick enough to keep out of the way of this moving train. Wild Asian said before the card that he wanted gold around his waist once again, and he s not letting anything stop him. WINNER: WILD ASIAN DOUBLE WINNING STREAK continues DIVISION I BLAZIN' BILLY STARR vs. KALEIDOSCOPE Kaleidoscope tried to play mind games, coming to the ring in what seemed to be a shower of broken glass all around him and an hourglass in his hand, but Starr continued to build his momentum after coming off the match with the Outlaw. Kaleidoscope tried to blindside Starr early with a version of his Shattered Dreams manuever, but Starr caught the big man with a boot to the midsection as he went up top. Kaleidoscope came falling off the top, and Starr kept him on the mat from them on. Starr hooked in a step-over-toe hold that he kept locked in for almost ten minutes. Kaleidoscope tried to struggle from his feet, but only made it to his knees before Starr dropkicked him! Kaleidoscope went down again, and Starr followed in quickly, hooking the legs and flipping over the big man, pinning him down for the one-two-three. WINNER: BILLY STARR BB: That catapults Billy Starr into the finals of this tournament! He has run the WINNING STREAK in Division II, defeating Outlaw and Kaleidoscope, and now he awaits the winner of Division I, which will be decided in the match between Wild Asian and "Terminator" Todd Mitchell. That one is coming up next! RM: Just think, Starr might walk out of here tonight as both the Greensboro and the Intracontinental Champions. BB: He'd have to retire one or the other, Red. But first, Scott Waters and Wild Asian have a little something to say about all that. DIVISION I WILD ASIAN vs. TODD MITCHELL "Terminator" Todd Mitchell realized early that he'd have his hands full in this one. Ya know, I think he realized it just about the time Wild Asian came off the top and nailed him with elbow to the back of the head. Mitchell was showboating for the crowd, when Asian came off the top, starting the match before the bell. Mitchell quickly recovered, however, dodging a spin kick by Asian and dropping the former Presidential Champ to the mat with a belly to belly suplex. Mitchell used his size and power, in which he had a major advantage over Asian, to keep Asian down on the mat and off the turnbuckle. A fallaway slam followed by a legdrop, and Mitchell went for the cover, getting only a one-count. Mitchell dropped Asian with a running powerslam, and then picked Asian up like a rag doll, setting him up for a powerbomb. But Asian was ready, and he used his incredible quickness to roll over the back of Mitchell and catch him with a dropkick. The dropkick didn't knock Mitchell down, but the following clip to the leg and DDT did. Asian sprung off the middle of the ropes, catching Mitchell with a springboard splash, and then he headed up top. Mitchell got up, and tried to catch Asian off the top for the powerslam, but a top rope Frank n' Parsons took Mitchell off his feet and put him down for the three-count. (Yep, short form continues. :>) BB: Fans, up next, Starr and Asian will both be given some time to rest as some of the other matches on the card are held. Coming up next, the UNIFIED World Tag Team Championships are on the line as Unified Tag Champs Disco Express take on the number three contenders Japanese Assault. This is a huge shot for the team managed by Matt Rosenthal. RM: Yeah, with all the other decent teams involved in the tag tournament, Japanese Assault gets a fluke chance! BB: This match was announced before the seeds for the tournament, you short Dopey-lookalike. RM: Ok, now you're getting personal. BB: And you're getting on my nerves. Disco Inferno starts this one off against Kamikaze Kid. The Kid catches one-half of the tag champs with a back brain kick early, but Inferno hits the mat and rolls to his feet. He drops the Kid with a clothesline, hits the ropes and delivers another! There's a quick tag to the Boogie Man, who comes off the second rope with a double axehandle chop to the collarbone. Disco Express just showed you why they've been able to hold off the rest of the CSWA tag division. Boogie Man follows up quickly with a dropkick and then head butts Kamikaze Kid! They're dividing the ring up, and they have no intention of letting Kamikaze Kid get over to his partner. Boogie Man tags in Disco Inferno, and the two men whip Kamikaze Kid into the ropes! Kid flies over the two men with a somersault flip in the air, and then comes off the other side with a double-arm clothesline that drops both men! Kid tries to scramble over to his corner, but he caught by the right boot and yanked back over to the Disco Express side by Disco Inferno! You can see the strain on Kamikaze's face as he tries to break loose. But Inferno drops the Kid to the mat with a belly to back, and follows with an elbow to the head. There's another tag by the Unified champs, and Boogie Man comes through the ropes and drops a vicious head butt on the back of the Kamikaze Kid. Boogie Man goes for a quick cover, but only gets a one-count from ref Ben Worthington. Boogie pulls Kamikaze to his feet and sends him into the ropes. Flying shoulderblock by the Boogie Man! He hooks the leg! ONE.........TWO........no, the Kid kicks out again! Look at that arm, still reaching for the corner, although he's over two-thirds of the ring away. Boogie Man pulls Kid up again, and now drops him with a snap suplex. Another cover gets only a two-count. Boogie tags in Disco Inferno yet again, and now the two men are doing a number on Kamikaze Kid in the corner while the Disco Midget distracts the referee outside the ring. The stomping away continues, until finally, the ref turns back around with some help from the now-shouting Shotgun Shotgun. He calls for the break, and Disco Inferno pulls Kamikaze out of the corner and hooks the leg once again. ONE.......TWO...........no! Kamikaze Kid kicks out again! RM: Who is that man coming down to ringside?! BB: It's Matt Rosenthal. He's back from Japan, apparently! And he's coming straight down to ringside! (Unified Tag Team Title Defense continues) BB: Kamikaze Kid just whipped himself through the ropes like something coming out of a slingshot! Disco Inferno hits the ropes and goes flying back onto the mat! He tries to grab Kid's boot, but Kamikaze dives and tags in Shotgun Shogun! The man who's been waiting to get in this entire match is fired up and ready to go! The Boogie Man comes in to stop him, but gets a clothesline that sends him through the ropes and out of the ring. Disco Inferno is up...he tries to clothesline Shotgun Shogun, but Shogun ducks, and nails Disco with a back brain kick! Shogun scoops Disco Inferno up.....SHOGUN SLAM!!! There's that huge power slam! Now Shogun tags in Kamikaze Kid! The Kid goes up top, comes off, and Shogun slams him down onto Disco for the KAMIKAZE SHOTGUN! Worthington counts the cover! ONE..........TWO..............THREE! Matt Rosenthal rolls into the ring, and it is celebration time for he and the JAPANESE ASSAULT, who are the NEW UNIFIED WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS! What a comeback win for Japanese Assault, and a huge effort from the Kamikaze Kid! The Disco Midget can't believe what's just happened! He looks disgusted, Red! RM: Whoa! He just decked the Boogie Man, who was getting up off his knees from the mat! BB: Fans, we'll be right back with the finals of the DOUBLE WINNING STREAK! BB: Fans, we've got new Unified Tag Team Champions as you just saw. The Japanese Assault has finally put gold around the waists of the Rosenthal Family! Where ATTAXX and MTV failed earlier in the night, the Japanese Assault not only succeeded, but did it taking the biggest prize a tag team can have! RM: Ya know, that Kamikaze Kid should be a hero for all midgets everywhere! BB: What are you talking about? He's not a midget. RM: Sure, pick on the one minor detail... BB: Up next, the finals of both tonight's championship tournaments! First up, the match to crown the new Intracontinental Champion! DOUBLE WINNING STREAK TOURNAMENT FINAL Winner of Division I: Wild Asian vs. Winner of Division II: Billy Starr BB: The Greensboro Champion takes on the former CSWA Presidential Champ in what promises to be a great match! It's been quite a while since we had a Intracontinental Champ, way back since the Eliminator dropped the belt in order to pursue bigger things. RM: I'm not gonna say it again. BB: Please don't. Later on tonight, Eli will take on one of his biggest challenges yet, when he steps into that series of cages that holds the WHEEL OF DEATH. Referee Patrick Young is calling this match, and there's the bell. Billy Starr takes his time stepping into the ring. The Greensboro Champ knows that tempo and momentum are two of the keys that Wild Asian uses to dominate his competition. Not to mention drive...Asian has vowed to put gold around his waist, and take a look at his eyes...he's certainly "in the zone." Starr and Asian lockup in the middle of the ring...and its Starr using his larger frame to hook in an armbar. Asian uses that great speed of his to maneuver out, but a quick hiptoss by Starr puts Asian on the mat. RM: Starr is going to have to try to keep Asian right where he's got him now. BB: Starr follows up with a belly to belly suplex, but Asian is up as quickly as Starr. Starr whips Wild Asian into the ropes, but Asian holds on, and Starr hits the mat hard as he missed a flying dropkick. Asian comes off the ropes with a springboard that nails Starr hard in the gut. Asian follows up quickly, pulling Starr to his feet and sending him into the ropes. Spinning kick by Asian! He goes for the early cover! ONE.....no, Starr kicks out early and hard. Asian pulls him to his feet again, another irish whip by Asian. But this time it's Starr who dodges the clothesline, ducking it, and comes across with a flying body press of his own! One-count for Starr, and he quickly gets to his feet. Starr hooks in an abdominal stretch on Asian! Asian tries to power out, but can't seem to catch hist breath. (DOUBLE WINNING STREAK Final continues) BB: Starr looks up and sees Melton, and he's got a BIG smile on his face. RM: And she's got some BIG... BB: Stop it right there. Starr's concentration may have lapsed for a moment, and who can blame him, but it allows Asian to grab the ropes and break free. Asian comes off the ropes and catches Starr with an elbow that leaves him reeling. Asian hits the ropes on the other side, and comes off with a back flip from the top of the middle rope! He nails Starr and rolls him up! ONE......no, Starr kicks out again, but the momentum has certainly changed here. Asian takes Starr down to the mat with a body slam and quickly wraps Starr up. He's got Starr in a surfboard! This could be it right here. Starr's gotta be in tremendous pain with all that pressure on his back. In the meantime, Teri Melton has made her way down to the ring, and she yelling encouragement to Starr. Starr keeps trying to get his arms free, but Asian has them locked tight in his grasp. RM: I don't know about Starr, but I'm getting some encouragement from just looking at Teri, if you know what I mean. BB: Unfortunately, I do. But could you keep your perverted thoughts to yourself? RM: Perverted? There's nothing perverted about... BB: That's enough shortstuff. Teri continues yelling, and now STarr tries a new tactic. Rather than trying to break loose, he's trying to rock the surfboard over. He's using the power Asian's exerting to keep the trap tight in order to start rocking himself. He's getting more momentum, and finally, he's able to fall over onto the mat. Asian still has his arms locked behind him, but quickly lets up and gets to his feet. RM: Starr may have gone out of the frying pan and into the fire. BB: Asian quickly jumps to the second rope and comes off with an elbow. Starr goes down hard and Asian quickly hooks the leg! ONE........TWO.....no! Wild Asian was just a count away from putting another CSWA title around his waist. Asian pulls Starr to his feet and whips him in... huge flying clothesline by Asian! He hooks the leg! ONE... TWO.....no! Starr kicks out again! But now Teri Melton has jumped up on the apron! Why is she getting involved in this match with Starr? RM: Why not....she's done it before. BB: Yes, but I thought that was part of her whole vendetta against Poison Ivy. Melton is distracting the referee, but I can't see what good it's doing. Asian body slams Starr, and now he's headed up top! Melton jumps down off the apron! What was she trying to do? Ref Young now turns and sees Asian up top, and Melton grabs Starr's leg and pulls! RM: Yes, but with Teri Melton at his side, what does it matter? BB: She certainly has a knack of picking, and to some extent, helping make, champions. And now, Billy Starr takes the Intracontinental Championship and straps it around his waist. And not only that, but he's got the Greensboro Title around his shoulder as well. RM: The paramedics are helping cart Wild Asian away after that missed attempt at a moonsault, which he owes to Teri Melton. BB: We've gotten early word that Wild Asian is not severely injured folks, but we're not sure what the extent may be. RM: Hopefully he just knocked himself silly. BB: Someone's running down from the locker room! It's SCOTT WATERS! He dives into the ring and pushes Teri Melton out of the way! And now he's all over Starr! Waters rips the Greensboro Title from Starr and throws it outside the ring. Starr finally gets out from under Waters and both men are on their feet. Starr takes the newly-won Intracontinental Title from around his waist and goes after Waters with it! Waters delivers a huge kick to the midsection, and he throws yet another belt out of the ring. Referee Young is apparently calling for the bell! We thought we were going to be seeing the tag team finals, but apparently, the title for the Greensboro Championship is underway. It may already be a moot point...Starr will have to drop the title after tonight anyway... RM: Yeah, but Waters has beaten Starr before, and he wants to beat him this time and take that title. Then maybe he'll take the IC belt as well. BB: Waters has owned Starr in the past, and it looks like tonight is no different. Starr tries to roll out of the ring, but Waters drops a knee hard to the midsection. Now Waters delivers a series of kicks. Starr finally makes it to the outside, and Waters quickly follows. There's Waters with a huge shot to the chin, and now he sends Starr into the metal barricade. He goes after Starr with a series of kicks, but Teri Melton now decides to get involved! She just caught Waters in the head with a chair! RM: That certainly evened up the score. BB: Melton goes for another, but Waters stops it and rips the chair from her grasp. It looks like Teri may be getting what she finally deserves. RM: What, me? BB: Oh shut up. Waters takes a step toward Teri, but Starr clips the knee. Starr follows up with a kick to the back of the leg, and he whips Waters into the apron! But that just psyches Waters up! He comes back across with a clothesline that sends Starr into and over the barricade to the crowd! Waters climbs over the barricade, and now the two men are the first couple of rows of seats, and Waters is just pummelling away on Starr! Ref Young has called for the bell! --------------------------------------------------------- BILL BUCKLEY: RED, it's time for the long awaited EN World/US Tag Team tourney final! RED MIDGET: Long awaited....you ain't kidding! BILL BUCKLEY: Let's not go there! The final pits Generation X-Press against the FORCE! Both teams have had a tough road to get here...

There's the bell, Matthews ask for Pee Wee Troutman to check HEAT's boot...what's going on..there's nothing in there! RED MIDGET: Oh I suppose you checked it beforehand... BILL BUCKLEY: Well, no... RED MIDGET: Then keep your mouth shut. BILL BUCKLEY: Troutman lifts up HEAT's left book....OH MY! Matthews cheap shots HEAT! I told you RED! Shawn with a low blow! The slacker had to cheat! RED MIDGET: cheat? The bell rung did it not? BILL BUCKLEY: Matthews slings HEAT into the corner..there's a right hook! Look at him!! There's no need to taunt your opponent! RED MIDGET: Sure there is, he's winning..so taunt. It's the American way! BILL BUCKLEY: "Showtime" leads HEAT to his corner, Troy Windham tags in...HEAT is fired to the ropes, and he's nailed with a Lariat! ONE...TWO...NO!! That was close! (EN WORLD/US Tag final cont...) BILL BUCKLEY: Fans, apparently my co-host for tonight, has just left to get a beer..it goes without saying I hate the little freak! For goodness sakes' the man is already drunk! Folks if you want to see the Red Midget fired, please send your letters to... RED MIDGET:(sitting back down) Everybody relax I'm back.. BILL BUCKLEY: I hate my life....Troy Windham with a nice powerslam! Thus far HEAT has not been able to get on track. Windham walks over and spits on Waters! That brings Scott into the ring...Troutman forces him out of the ring, but meanwhile Matthews and Windham are double teaming HEAT, beating him into a near coma!! RED MIDGET: Oh that was cute!! BILL BUCKLEY: HEAT starts fighting back...a hard left hand to Troy Windham...he's got Troy's head in one hand, and Shawn's in the other...a double...headknocker I guess! RED MIDGET: Good one Bill. BILL BUCKLEY: Choke on it...the former US champion picks up Windham and drops him on the top rope! He's got Matthews by the hair, as he yanks him over the ropes and in the ring!! Waters can't wait anylonger, he's in...Matthews is thrown to the ropes, double clothesline! RED MIDGET: That's illegal PeeWee! BILL BUCKLEY: Waters and HEAT are setting up for a double Powerbomb! RED, Troy is reaching in his tights! RED MIDGET: And he doesn't have an itch! He's got brass knuckles!! YES! BILL BUCKLEY: Matthews flips HEAT over his back! Windham swings at Waters, but he ducks and knocks Matthews out cold!! RED MIDGET: Uh-oh.. BILL BUCKLEY: Waters covers..ONE....TWO...Windham makes the save!! HEAT grabs Troy from behind..and he sends him over the top rope!! RED MIDGET: No..he didn't!!! BILL BUCKLEY: HEAT and Waters double Powerbomb Matthews!! It's over!! Windham didn't go all the way over the ropes! He's pulled himself pack up...as Waters raises his arms in celebration Windham bulldogs him!! RED MIDGET: HA!! BILL BUCKLEY: ONE...TWO...THREE!! We've got a double pin!! HEAT and Windham both go nuts thinking they just won the EN World Tag belts! Rhubarb Jones talks it over with Troutman.. Rhubarb Jones: Ladies and Gentlemen...Winners of the match and NEW EN WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS....Troy Windham and Shawn Matthews! ----------------------------------------------------------- BILL BUCKLEY: We're back after a short intermission... RED MIDGET: Feels like we've been gone for a few weeks. BILL BUCKLEY: Stop! We just witnessed Generation X-Press walk away with the EN WORLD TAG TEAM Titles, as they defeated the FORCE! RED MIDGET: But Waters and HEAT leave with the US Tag Team titles, a really nice parting gift if you ask me. BILL BUCKLEY: Up next...you can see the cage for yourself. It's the <> Cutters and CS inside of a steel cage! RED, these two teams have had quite a past, and of late their rivalry has been heating up again! RED MIDGET: It all steams from the fact that the <> Cutters are the only team ever to pin the CS Express! BILL BUCKLEY: With that in mind, the grudge match is underway! ============================================================ CS EXPRESS VS <> CUTTERS CAGE MATCH BILL BUCKLEY: Both teams are in the cage and ready to go!! The Cage door is shut and locked...Gibson talks over some last minute stragety with Morton. RED you can feel the tension in the air! RED MIDGET: Let me guess you could cut it with a knife.. BILL BUCKLEY: Enderson and Gibson lock up as the bell sounds! Ern manages to wrestle Gibson to the ropes...Troutman calls for the break, but Enderson stuns him with a Forearm! Enderson pounds away! RED MIDGET: I don't think he likes Gibson very much, cause if he did he sure wouldn't be pounding his face in. BILL BUCKLEY: Gibson is sent into the ropes, he slides under Enderson's legs..dropkick!! And another! Look how high he gets on those, RED! RED MIDGET: Yeah...Yeah...Yeah. BILL BUCKLEY: Chad Gibson goes up top....flying leg scissors! Enderson tries to roll out of the ring, but he can't!! Gibson nails him with a short right, and makes the tag to Steve Morton! Morton...whips Ern to the ropes, Double backbody drop! RED MIDGET: He got some air on that one! Air Enderson... I like it! BILL BUCKLEY: Morton goes up top! He's sitting on Enderson's head! Victory Roll!! My goodness, the <> Cutters are getting it taken to them tonight! A quick tag to Gibson, Chad up top...Flying Body Press, NO!! Double E, moved out of the way... (<> Cutters/CS Express cont...) BILL BUCKLEY: Planchard scoops Gibson up, and he plants him on the mat! Here comes the Figure 4 leg lock!! He's got it hooked in, RED! RED MIDGET: Bar the door Katie! BILL BUCKLEY: When you've got a high flyer...ah skip it! The long and the short of it is, Tully's trying to break Gibson's leg! RED MIDGET: Alright Bill, nice call! BILL BUCKLEY: Morton rushes in, to break the hold!! That wasn't a smart move by Steve, as Worthington escorts him back to his corner, Enderson has come in the ring and he's stomping away at Gibson! RED MIDGET: Morton is an idiot! We all know that...he's also a drug user! BILL BUCKLEY: You have no proof! So just stop it! RED MIDGET: Proof? The man sniffs all day long...but I guess he's just had a cold for the past 8 years.. BILL BUCKLEY: You're an evil little man...Planchard brings Gibson to his feet...slingshot suplex!! He does it better than anyone..ONE....TWO....NO!! Gibson somehow manages to kick out! RED MIDGET: More than likely he just had a cold chill.. BILL BUCKLEY: Gibson gives Tully a shot to the gut, he's going over to tag Morton, but Planchard stops him with a drop toe hold! There's the tag to Enderson, Ern drops an elbow over Chad's..well..head! RED MIDGET: Might do the kid some good...he's uh..touched if you know what I mean. BILL BUCKLEY: Enderson rushes Gibson to the ropes, SPINEBUSTER!! He's got him laid out!! Here's the cover, ONE...TWO...here comes Morton he picks up Ern, and sends him head first into the steel cage!! Evidently Gibson made a tag as he hit the ropes! RED MIDGET: I didn't see anything...what kind of refs do we have working here anyway! BILL BUCKLEY: Morton catches Enderson on the rebound and drives his head into the other side of the cage!! Planchard is in..Morton catches him with a dropkick!! RED MIDGET: This is getting sticky.. BILL BUCKLEY: Morton sends Tully head first into the cage!! He's tearing it up!! What the heck, Enderson just threw Gibson into the ref!! RED MIDGET: By accident, dummy! BILL BUCKLEY: Planchard is out as well, Morton climbs to the top of the cage...what the heck is this!!! (<> Cutters/CS Express cont...) BILL BUCKLEY: Jason Palmer, and Dr.Thomas Knight are running down the aisle!! What is this!! They're not in the CSWA!! RED MIDGET: They are now, my boy! It's time..to kick some booty! BILL BUCKLEY: Morton is perched on the top of the cage..he sees Knight and Palmer!! Enderson knocks the cage around, Morton loses his balance and racks himself on the top of the cage!! RED MIDGET: Yikes.. BILL BUCKLEY: Enderson up top, the threws Morton down!! Both men setting up, there's a SPIKED PILEDRIVER!! Enderson with a DDT on Gibson!! RED MIDGET: Stick a fork in him he's done! BILL BUCKLEY: Planchard covers Morton, ONE....TWO...THREE!! OH MY GOSH!! I DON'T BELIEVE IT! The <> Cutters have beaten the CS Express for a second time! RED MIDGET: What a beautiful day!!! BILL BUCKLEY: Enderson and Planchard leave the cage, to meet Palmer and Knight! I don't know what to say! RED MIDGET: They did what they had to do, Bill! I've been telling the entire World for the past month that the CS Express are over with! I was proven right tonight! BILL BUCKLEY: That's hardly the case, RED! The <> Cutters had to...had to.... RED MIDGET: Had to what!? BILL BUCKLEY: You saw what happened! Gibson and Morton are shell shocked! We hope to hear from both teams later tonight.. ------------------------------------------------------- BILL BUCKLEY: What a night we've had, RED. We're down to our last few matches of the night! RED MIDGET: It's about freaking time! BILL BUCKLEY: Right now we're ready to roll with the ENTERPRISE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE MATCH!! At the last SHOWTIME, Rudy Seizter came out and challenged Mark Windham to a title defense! RED MIDGET: Rudy did? BILL BUCKLEY: Not Rudy himself. He said he had received a very special letter from a wrestler who has always dreamed of being the EN World Champion...a letter from a wrestler who has always dreamed of facing Mark Windham! RED MIDGET: And that wrestler is RUDY!! BILL BUCKLEY: Uh..noooo. Rhubarb Jones is ready with Rudy Seizter! ============================================================ MARK WINDHAM VS RUDY'S MYSTERY MAN EN WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE DEFENSE (Hey man nice shot plays) RHUBARB JONES: Ladies and Gentlemen, the EN WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION "The Living Legend' Mark Windham!!! (Windham enters the ring) RUDY SEIZTER: Thanks Rhubarb! Fans as most of you know I received a letter not too long ago, from a man who has always wanted the chance to wrestle for the WORLD TITLE! This man, has gone through a lot in his lifetime! He's a man, that looks up to you Mark Windham, for some unknown reason! MARK WINDHAM: Get on with it... RUDY SEIZTER: His letter moved me so much...I was brought to the point of tears. After reading it, I had to take action! I want to thank you Mark, for making this match possible! MARK WINDHAM: Ok..ok..who is it Rudy! RUDY SEIZTER: We had to get clearence from the AAWC to bring him here tonight...but here he is...THE SEAHAWK!!! (fans go wild) BILL BUCKLEY: I don't believe it!! RED HE'S BEATEN MARK WINDHAM BEFORE!!! RED MIDGET: We're going to have a NEW EN WORLD CHAMPION tonight mark my words!! BILL BUCKLEY: The masked SeaHawk has hit the ring....literally. Windham is all over him! Seahawk with a shot to the gut, but Windham rakes the eyes! Mark whips him into the corner, and follows up with an elbow to the face! (Windham/Seahawk cont...) BILL BUCKLEY: Rudy's surprise wrestler is from the AAWC, he's the SEAHAWK! RED MIDGET: The question is HOW DID HE GET HERE!!?? Somebody had to give clearence...somebody in the AAWC had to ok this match...and I doubt it was President Schmid.. he isn't on the best of terms with CS! BILL BUCKLEY: I'm clueless as to who it might be, RED. Mark sets up for a PILEDRIVER!! The Seahawk is out of it! Look at the look on Windham's face, he's loving every minute of this! RED MIDGET: Look at the look on the Seahawk's face, it's... pain. BILL BUCKLEY: Windham tosses Seahawk outside!! This could get ugly! Mark's got a chair, OHMY! Windham sends the Seahawk face first into the iron post! RED MIDGET: That'll leave a mark! BILL BUCKLEY: Mark is removing the padding on the cement floor....oh dear gook NO! RED MIDGET: He's done this before to many wrestlers! And Jack Roiter!! If he hits this, the Seahawk's neck might break! BILL BUCKLEY: OH GOODNESS!! He hit it alright! The Seahawk's neck folded like a cheap hooker!! Windham rolls him back in the ring...this thing has gone on long enough! RED MIDGET: I can't watch anymore.. BILL BUCKLEY: Windham with an Implant DDT!! Somebody please stop this thing!! Mark...puts his finger on his chest! For crying out loud he's going to pin the kid with one finger!! RED MIDGET: You gotta love this.. BILL BUCKLEY: ONE....TWO.....THREE!!!! Mark Windham puts away the Seahawk to retain his EN WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP! Windham stands over the Seahawk and slaps his face!! RED MIDGET: Come on, one more for good measure! BILL BUCKLEY: Rudy is in shock! RED, I think he's going to cry! Windham has his belt, and he's headed back to the dressing rooms..and the Seahawk, well he's not moving! RED MIDGET: It goes without saying that we need some help down here.. --------------------------------------------------------- BILL BUCKLEY: What a sick display we just witnessed! Mark Windham tore the Seahawk limb from limb! RED, he could have pinned the kid in the first couple of minutes! But, he waited and served out more punishmen! More than what the Seahawk could handle! RED MIDGET: That's the name of the game, Bill. Don't shed any tears for Seahawk, although his neck may be broken life goes on...well for me atleast.. BILL BUCKLEY: You have no heart... RED MIDGET: But two stomachs...go figure. Bottom line is he put himself at risk when he wrote the letter to Rudy! BILL BUCKLEY: Regardless Windham relished his chance to hurt his guy, and he did just that. America's Team has taken a turn for the worse RED, there's no doubting that. RED MIDGET: Cry me a river.. BILL BUCKLEY: At this time, we're set for the UNITED STATES NATIONAL HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE defense! ============================================================ AARON RENO vs Scotty Michaels USN Title defense BILL BUCKLEY: Reno won the belt from Mike Randalls not long ago...and now he's got to defend the belt against a former champ Scotty Michaels! RED MIDGET: Michaels is a superstar in this sport..there's no doubting that. Reno has his hands full tonight. BILL BUCKLEY: Reno hands Worthington the USN belt, and Michaels snatches it from the ref's hand!! Scotty kisses the belt and then points at Reno! He's an arrogant... RED MIDGET: Go ahead, say it Bill!! I dare you! I double dog dare you! BILL BUCKLEY: I'm not going to give you the pleasure! Michaels circles the ring, he and Reno hook up! Reno scoops Scotty up, bodyslam! Reno with a clothesline! Scotty rolls out of the ring, to regroup! This match is only a few seconds old, but already Michaels is finding out that Aaron Reno is up to the challenge! RED MIDGET: Of course he's up to the challenge, he's the USN Champion...and to think you get paid to do this job.. BILL BUCKLEY: Aaron isn't wasting anytime, he goes right after Michaels on the outside. Reno grabs Scotty by the hair, and fires him into the steel staircase! RED MIDGET: That's not the way Michaels wants to climb the ladder of success.. BILL BUCKLEY: Reno lifts Michaels up and throws him down right ontop of the iron railing! If Scotty had any plans with Teri afterwards, those might be changed now! (Reno/Michaels cont...) BILL BUCKLEY: Reno is back in the ring....waiting on Scotty to join him. Michaels staggers to his feet, and tries to pull himself in the ring, but Reno meets him with a knee! RED MIDGET: He's not playing fair! BILL BUCKLEY: Reno fires Scotty to the ropes, out of nowhere Micheals greets Reno with a flying scissor kick! What a move! RED MIDGET: That just goes to show you that Michaels knows what's happening every second he's in that ring, no matter hwo much punishment he's taken! BILL BUCKLEY: Scotty makes a gesture to Teri...they both think things are under control now! Scotty nails Reno with a few short jabs..and now a uppercut! He's trying to knock the champ's lights out! RED MIDGET: As much as I like Teri, I mean Scotty... I think he's barkin up the wrong tree if he thinks he can knock Reno out! BILL BUCKLEY: Michaels has Reno pinned in the corner, and he's still going right after Reno. He must think he's Riddick Bowe!! RED MIDGET: Or one of Riddick's managers for that matter. BILL BUCKLEY: Michaels reaches back and fires another right hand, but Reno blocks this one..and slips a closed fist of his own in! Reno is hammering away at Scotty Micheals! The USN Champion whips Scotty to the opposite corner...CLOTHESLINE!! RED MIDGET: This doesn't look good! BILL BUCKLEY: Michaels drops down...he's in serious trouble! Reno pumps his hand in the air, listen to this crowd! Reno is going in for the kill! POWERBOMB!!! RED MIDGET: It's over.. BILL BUCKLEY: Aaron Reno, is heading to the rope..he's looking to but the finishing touches on this match!! Scotty to his knees..Scotty reaches out and gets Worthingtion in a headlock..what in the world!! RED MIDGET: He's just talking to him!! BILL BUCKLEY: Teri Melton is on the top rope, and she..AWW! Hits Reno where it hurts...Teri...Top Rope DDT!! OHMYDEARLORD!! RED MIDGET: What a woman!! BILL BUCKLEY: Scotty to his feet..climbs to the middle rope, flies off with a leg drop! ONE....TWO....THREE!! WE'VE GOT A NEW USN HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION!! RED MIDGET: That was one heck of a leg drop! ------------------------------------------------------- BB: The more I think about it, the more I'm starting to despise Teri Melton! Reno had that match won... RM: The match isn't won, until a three count is earned! If you ask me, Scotty was just fakin'..he was never really hurt. BB: What match were you watching?! Up next, the other half of America's Team is in action. We're headed down the stretch here at Battle of the Belts, after this next cage match, we have just the WHEEL OF DEATH match. Coming up now, Hornet takes on Vince Bailey in our second match of the night between these two feuding coalitions here in the CSWA. Earlier tonight, Thomas Knight made his return, reuniting the Untouchables with the X-Change. That certainly didn't help out the CS Express who have made known that they're sticking with America's Team. This match will take place inside that same cage. RM: Hornet and Bailey, finally one-on-one. BB: That's how they wanted it. Hornet issued the challenge to Bailey, who had wanted to make it a six-man match with CS Express and Hornet taking on the Horsemen and Bailey. But Hornet wanted it one-on-one and Bailey finally agreed. Vince Bailey is being introduced to the crowd. The last time these two men met, Bailey got the shall-we-say upset victory along with a little help from his friends. Of course, this all seems to go way back to Thanksgiving, when Hornet and Adler met for that AAWC Universal Title. Hornet won the match, but there was interference from both Maxwell Diamond and Mark Windham. And then, of course, there's the whole feud between CS Express and the Horsemen. RM: Basically, there's bad blood between all these guys. BB: Pretty much. Bailey is entering the cage, and now Hornet is being introduced by Rhubarb Jones. RM: I can't believe this crowd still cheers for this guy. BB: Well he may have had a little change in attitude in the ring, but his attitude towards the fans has remained the same. And no matter what's gone on, they still love him, apparently. Hold on a minute, Hornet has hit the cage running, and he's all over Bailey before the bell has even rung. Hornet's trying to choke the life out of Bailey, using his hands, the ropes, whatever! The referee is trying to pull him off, but Hornet shoves him away! Hornet takes the key from the referee and now locks the padlock around the cage, after throwing ref Ben Worthington outside! Nobody s getting in, and apparently, Hornet s not gonna let Bailey out! Bailey is just now getting to his feet using the ropes, and Hornet nails him with a vicious kick to the back. I ve never seen this man like this, Red, and I've known him since he started in the sport. He's got no point to prove, this is just out and out hatred. RM: Well, apparently he's working that anger out on Bailey. BB: Bailey tries to get back to his feet so he can fight off Hornet, but Hornet s leaving no leeway. He slams Bialey down hard. ------------------ BB: Diamond's on his way down, apparently to help out Bailey...but he's not gonna get through that cage door, because Hornet's got the key. Hornet pulls Bailey out of the ropes, and puts him down in the middle of the ring with a brainbuster. I think Bailey might be out. And now Hornet's going to the top rope! Is he gonna climb out of the cage or what? RM: I don't think so! BB: SHOOTING STAR PRESS!!! We haven't seen Hornet do that in a while! But he just came off and caught Bailey full-on. RM: I've never seen a man Hornet's size do that move so well. BB: Maxwell Diamond is now trying to climb up the side of the cage! Inside the ring, Hornet's hooking in the SCORPION DEATHLOCK! Bailey's got no place to go! The ropes won't help, the ref won't help...the only help he's got is Maxwell Diamond. But even that may not help, because here comes Mark Windham!!! Windham jumps up, grabs Diamond's foot and pulls him off the cage!!! Diamond hits the concrete hard, and he's got nowhere to go, as Windham is all over him! Inside the ring, Bailey still isn't moving, even under the duress of the Scorpion Deathlock. And now Windham's got the iron claw hooked in on Diamond! RM: But here comes the calvary for Bailey! BB: Here comes Nathan Storm, and the Horsemen aren't far behind! Windham yells something to Hornet as he lets up on the iron claw. Storm catches Windham with a clothesline, but Windham is quickly up and sends Storm to the floor with a quick backdrop. Hornet lets up on the Scorpion on Bailey, and quickly unlocks the cage door. Hornet and Windham escape down the aisle and back into the dressing rooms. Storm looks like he wants to follow them, but Diamond holds him back and they go in to check on Bailey. Bailey looks to be conscious in the ring, but he's not make any moves to get up. The paramedics are already on their way down. What a display we've seen here. RM: What are you talking about? BB: I can't believe what Hornet just did!? RM: What are you talking about? He won the match.... thoroughly. BB: The match never got started, Red. RM: I thought you were a big Hornet fan, cause you know I'm not. I don't see what you're point is. Hornet didn't bash Bailey with a table or take a baseball bat into the ring, he simply beat the poor guy. What did you expect? These two men hate each other. And the X-Change and America's Team alike aren't going to let anyone get in there way. If Bailey couldn't handle himself, he should never have signed the match. BB: I can't believe you see it that way. RM: What? Am I supposed to be crying? Poor poor Vince? Come on. -------------------------------------------------------- BB: Fans, sorry to break into that commercial, but while the cages for the WHEEL OF DEATH were being constructed, Unified Champion Paul Pierce has made his way down to the ring. Apparently he's got something to say...Stan Parsons is down there with the house mic. SP: Paul Pierce, you've apparently... Pierce: Yeah, I've got something to say, Stan. First, I want Hornet to come out here... BB: Apparently, Pierce has got something to say about what just happened. Fans, I've received word that Vince Bailey has been taken to the hospital, and the rest of the X-Change has accompanied him. We don't know any more about his condition. RM: Here comes Hornet himself. BB: Hornet's making his way down to ringside...and Pierce looks ready to give him an earful. Pierce: You know CSWA, what you just saw here was SICK. I'm embarrassed that I was ever apart of this man's team, what everyone calls America's Team. I think it'd be more appropriate to call it America's Thugs now. When I first got involved with America's Team, I wanted to be around the best, and wanted to be with around Hornet, for guidance. I also wanted to get back at Mike Randalls, and all the other punks out there. But all of this has gotten way out of hand. I'm sick of it all, and that is why I will no longer associate myself with these thugs, called America's Team. Hornet, Windham, it makes me want to puke when I think about how some of the things you've done and dragged me into. I've lost the respect of my fans and my peers. To gain that back, I have to disassociate myself with these punks. Hornet, you want to step up to me, go right ahead brotha. You wanna stay friends, that's cool too. It's up to you. Windham, you, on the other hand,can go straight to hell. And you better hope for your life that you don't see me around sometime, because I'll take you down even harder than I did when we first met. BB: Speaking of Windham fans, look who just appeared on the video wall. Pierce: And while I'm here, I'm gonna drop another bombshell on you. You know, for the past three months, I've been jerked around and made into some type of puppet by the Unified Championship Committee. I've been forced to make appearances and wrestle matches on short notice. I've been forced to terminate all contracts with the federations I was in. I'm not going to let that happen any longer... When I won this belt, it meant something, to me and every other wrestler in the world. Now, I'm not for certain that it's still viewed in that way. When I won this belt, I was on top of the world. And although I've retained my title throughout the past couple months, I'm not even close to feeling like that now. (cont.) To regain everything I lost throughout this ordeal, my respect, honor, dignity, etc, I must get back to the basics. ------------------ Pierce: You got it all, Stan. In fact, here, you can hold the Unified Title. I don't need it anymore. Hornet, I hope we can still be friends, but if not... BB: Pierce reaches out his hand, but Hornet doesn't look like he has any intention of shaking it. Hornet: Well, that was quite a mouthful for you, wasn't it, kid? As for what happened out here a few minutes ago... I don't see how that's any of your business. You haven't been around this feud. You haven't been around and been attacked by the X-Change. I have. Ya know, I find it real interesting, Paul. You said you came here partly to get back at Mike Randalls. You allied yourself with us because you saw it as a great way to get to Mike. And you did, didn't you? With that loaded glove on your hand, you split Mike Randalls wide open until I had to pull you off of him. But that wasn't "sick," was it? Did you see Vince Bailey out there bleeding, kid? Did you see me use any type of object to put him on the mat? No, you didn't. So don't come here and talk to me about "sick." Mike Randalls attacked you once. He's attacked me about forty times. Just as the X-Change have attacked me and my friends time and time again, as well. If that's why you no longer want to associate with us, Pierce, then I'll just count it up to hypocrisy and be done with it. Because that's exactly what it is. Pierce: Now wait just a second...that was different. Hornet: Oh was it? How so? No, never mind, we've already chalked it up to hypocrisy, right? Let's go on to the next point you made.....it makes you want to "puke" when you think of some of the things we've done? Hmmmm, did it make you puke when Maxwell Diamond tried to break my back? Did it make you puke when Vince Bailey tried to lay me out? It's called war, kid, something you obviously don't understand. (laughs) But you want to "disassociate" yourself from "America's Thugs" because of the things we've *dragged* you into? What exactly would that be, Pierce? The only time I remember dragging you anywhere is to pull you off a bloodied Mike Randalls to keep from killing him. I never asked you to help us in our war against the X-Change; but you willingly joined into my war against Randalls. You don't want to "associate" with us, Pierce? That's fine by me. I haven't seen you in weeks. I haven't been to your Unified matches, I haven't interfered in your life, and I sure haven't "dragged" you anywhere. But don't step up here and threaten me or Windham. Because you can't handle us, kid. And as for your other "bombshell?" You want to drop the Unified Title? That's obviously your prerogative. But I find if real amusing how you try and blame your "loss of respect, honor, and dignity" on everyone around you. ------------------------------- Hornet: You wanna get back to basics? Go back to what you were? Go ahead and do just that. But make the decision for yourself and stop trying to blame everybody and their mother. But you can't go back, Pierce. You've been a Unified Champion, and no matter what you think, that belt still means a lot to a lot of people. You were worried about title matches, Paul? You wanted more opponents, more notice? There was a list of 25 contenders put forth by the UCC weeks ago, Paul. You've defended against what, maybe five? I didn't see you out here making an effort to defend it. I didn't see you taking the challengers on one by one, especially not challengers like the number one contender, whose face is right over there on that TV wall. You want to be the man who "dominated every federation he joined," Paul? Sorry, but if that's what you think you were, then you're sadly mistaken. If you "dominated" the CSWA, Pierce, you would have tag gold around your waist tonight. If you "dominated" the best competition in the world, you would've made an effort to take on Windham, a man you obviously can't stand. You haven't done crap here in the CSWA, Paul, so don't step up here and act as if your "challenges" carry any sort of weight. Pierce: Hold it right there.... Hornet: But you know, Paul, I keep going back to what Stan said. You obviously had a lot stewing there didn't you? Had to have talked about it with somebody didn't you? Because you've certainly never made a move without talking to someone. When you wanted out of those matches in the ASWF and AAWC you came to me and the UCC. When you wanted a plan to take out Randalls, you came to me for help. Who did you go to for help this time, Paul? Because by the smell, it seems like you've been around somebody who's used to being around a lot of crap. (continued) Pierce: I've said what I had to say. Hornet: Are you sure? It seems like what you have to say changes depending on who has your ear. Friends, Paul? I don't think so. Let me let you in one other little secret. You know those 127 men you beat in the ULTRATITLE? I wasn't one of them, because I had had a branding iron nail me in the back about fifteen times. Men you've defended the Unified Title against? Again, I'm not in that list. You've beaten Adler and you've beaten GUNS, but you still haven't stepped up to this plate, buddy. You want respect back from the fans and your "peers", Paul? Look at the faces of these fans...you didn't have their respect before, and you don't have it now. And whether they love me or hate me, they know I'm doing what I believe is right. These fans have seen me get stomped on time and time again and still get back up from it better than before. And now, whether they agree with my methods or not, they know I'm doing what I believe is right, which is taking some time to settle the score. So don't talk to me about respect, Pierce. Because you don't have mine, and I'm not your peer. If it's your "peers" you think you need respect from, then what you're doing might just get it. But when you want respect from men who have done much more than you have and done it better than you ever will, you have to earn it! ---------------------------------------------------------- BB: Fans, this next match is our final match of the night. The three cages have been put on top of one another, and as you can see, the WHEEL OF DEATH is being lowered on top of the cage as I speak. The object of this match is simple to understand, folks. Six men enter the bottom cage and start fighting. Sooner or later, they have to make their way up through the trapdoors that separate the cages. Slowly but surely, they'll do just that until they reach that top cage. Then, there are two small trapdoors that lead on top of the cage, where the WHEEL awaits. Once a man has dragged one of his opponents up to the WHEEL level, he's got just one thing left to do, and that's strap the man into one of the WHEEL's three compartments. From there, it's again very simple. Once three men are strapped into the WHEEL, it's time to go. Whether they're of the same team or not, once three bodies are strapped on that WHEEL, it will start spinning until it get to a top speed of 60 mph with flames shooting out in every direction...not to mention the electrical shock the three unfortunates will feel. The other three men must get down the cage levels as fast as they can, to avoid being injured by the WHEEL's spinning or the flames. Whatever team gets two or three of their members strapped on the WHEEL officially loses, but the real losers are whoever gets stuck in that whirling death trap. RM: Sounds like fun. BB: I just wish....hey, wait a second. What are you doing here? RM: Sammy Benson??? I thought you were fired? Benson: Oh, did you, short-stuff? You can't get rid of me that easily! For your info, I was never fired. BB: Oh dear Lord, there's two of them. What are you doing here, Sammy? RM: Never fired? What are you talking about? SB: Well, I just came to answer a question you asked, Bill. You wanted to know how the league got clearance from the AAWC to have the Seahawk wrestle....well, I'm telling you. BB: What do you mean? SB: After I left here, you know I went and have been commentating in the AAWC. Well, if you can believe it, they were paying me even less than I was making here. Not to mention that other commentating guy kept trying to put the moves on me! And you wouldn't believe what they wanted to put in my contract! BB: What does that have to do with... SB: Patience my dear Mr. Buckley, patience. I slipped the right piece of paper under the right toadie's nose, and, there ya go, the Seahawk had clearance. BB: You didn't! SB: I did. And that's not all, Buckley. I've got my job back, and a little present for CS Enterprises. BB: What are you talking about? SB: The million dollars that President Poop owed CS Enterprises for giving back the AAWC? Well, I've got it. BB: No... SB: Oh yes. Right here (taps his Haliburton), all accounted for. It was just sitting around, supposed to be given out as a prize for some War Games or something. But it hadn't been paid out....well, now it has. BB: I can't believe this. I'm surprised you didn't embezzle some for yourself! SB: Oh, don't worry, I'm a much wealthier man than I was when I left here, but some of the people over there aren't! RM: You can't believe this? *I* can't believe this. This stooge comes back after being gone months to a place that doesn't even allow midgets, says he's got a million dollars, and you believe him? SB: Why, you don't? RM: No, I don't. SB: Here, Buckley, take a closer look at the money... (Benson hands the case to Buckley) BB: No, you know what? Here, Red, you take a closer look. (Buckley slams the Haliburton case down on the midget's head. The Red Midget falls out of the chair to the floor, unconscious.) SB: That's for what happened on Splash Mountain, you little piece of midget filth. (Benson steps over the Red Midget takes his seat) Aren't you gonna welcome me back, Buckley? BB: You know what. I can't believe I'm saying this, but....I owe you one for smacking that freakin' midget over the head. He was even worse than you!!! SB: You're welcome, Buckley. That's one small step for me, but one giant lump on the head of that midget. It was the least I could do. BB: Well, I guess we should get back to the WHEEL OF DEATH and finish up this card tonight. SB: Yeah, but one quick thing I have to do. (Benson sticks his foot under the Red Midget and pushes the little guy off the commentator's stage) Hope that didn't hit anybody. BB: Dear Lord. Well, fans, the six men for the WHEEL OF DEATH are just about ready to make their appearance. We've been told that Eli and his two mystery partners won't be accompanied by Poison Ivy tonight. Because of transportation problems, she was unable to make it. But Alicia will be doing the managerial honors tonight. SB: Hey Buckley? BB: Yes, Sammy? SB: It's good to be back. ---------------------------------------------------------- BB: It's WHEEL OF DEATH time, ladies and gentlemen. BATTLE OF THE BELTS XIV is certainly ready to come to a close with a "bang." The Eliminator and Mike Randalls have a score to settle with each other, and they've chosen four other men to help them out. We're about to find out who those men are. To announce the teams, here is Rhubarb Jones. RJ: Ladies and gentlemen, the following are the teams for the WHEEL OF DEATH match. First, along with their team captain, the Eliminator, and accompanied by Eli's wife, Alicia, here are Mister Self-Destruct and Goliath! BB: Well, Eli apparently wants to keep this a family affair. Mister Self-Destruct is his brother, I believe, but I've never seen this other huge man before! He's gotta be seven feet tall! RJ: Their opponents, along with team captain, "Devastating" Mike Randalls, here are Craig Miles and JT Collins....FULL FORCE! BB: FULL FORCE is back! At least for tonight! It's been a long time since we've seen the former US Tag champs! But where is Mike Randalls? FULL FORCE is here, but Randalls is nowhere to be found! SB: I don't think FULL FORCE cares! BB: Miles has got a chair in hand, and Collins has a baseball bat, and they're running down toward the cage area. Eli pulls Alicia out of the way, but Mister Self-Destruct just got nailed with that chair from Miles! Collins has gotten inside the cage with that bat, and he's quickly making his way up through the trap doors! What's going on? Miles just decked Mr. Self-Destruct with the chair again, and now he heads up through the cages as well! Goliath takes off after the two, but the Eliminator looks like he's yelling for him to come back. Eli and Alicia are down there by Mister Self-Destruct, trying to see if he's alright. He's slow to move, but it looks like he's trying to get to his feet. Meanwhile, up in the cages, Miles and Collins are already up to that third cage and are trying to get into the WHEEL level! Goliath is quickly climbing up behind him...but what can he be thinking? It'll be one against two up there. SB: The man's huge, he's at least one and a half. BB: Collins is up top, and Miles is climbing up the ladder, but here comes Goliath! He grabs one of Miles feet and pulls him back down into the third cage. Goliath has Miles by his throat and he slams him straight into the bottom of that cage!!! And now Goliath's headed up toward the WHEEL! SB: One to go. BB: And now the Eliminator is on his way into the cage to provide reinforcements. Mister Self-Destruct looks like he's being tended to by paramedics on the outside...possibly having his back and ribs taped up. Alicia is close beside him. What are FULL FORCE doing, and where is Mike Randalls??? ------------------------------------------------------ (WHEEL OF DEATH continues) BB: Another shot to the midsection sends Goliath against the WHEEL, and now Collins quickly works to strap Goliath's arms down with those manacles! He's got one, but now Goliath is fighting to keep that other arm off the WHEEL. But there's another shot to the stomach with the narrow end of that baseball bat! And now Collins hooks that other manacle on! Goliath has been the first man put into the WHEEL OF DEATH!!! The Eliminator has made his way up into that narrow third cage where Miles is still down. Miles is very slow getting up. But Eliminator quickly passes by Miles and heads up to the WHEEL level to confront Collins! JT Collins swings with the baseball bat, but gets nothing but air. Eli catches him with a jab to the throat and now knocks that baseball bat out of his hands! It goes flying down onto the top of that larger first cage, and now Collins has no advantage! Eli dumps Collins over his back and quickly drops a knee down on the chest of Collins. Eli's just working over Collins up on top of that cage. Meanwhile outside the cages, Mister Self-Destruct was taken away by the paramedics, and accompanied by Alicia. Apparently from the word I'm receiving, Mr. Self-Destruct suffered a cracked rib and is being treated. SB: Something's really not right here... BB: You're telling me? Eli has Collins up on his feet, and he whips him into the WHEEL! He quickly hooks those manacles on, and Collins is the second man strapped into the WHEEL OF DEATH! One more man, and that WHEEL will start turning and cannot be stopped. Eli looks down through the cage at Miles, who is just now getting to his feet completely...but he really looks like he's searching the arena for Mike Randalls. SB: AND THERE HE IS! MIKE RANDALLS JUST CAME DOWN FROM THE RAFTERS! BB: And he's got Alicia on his shoulder!!! Randalls somehow used a bungee cord or something, and he just swung down and dropkicked the Eliminator!!! ELI JUST FELL OFF THE CAGE!!! That larger first cage stops his fall, but only after falling about fifteen feet. Mike Randalls is up there by the WHEEL OF DEATH, and he has Alicia with him. How did he get a hold of her? And what's he planning to do!? SB: He must've have taken her as she went back with the paramedics! It was all a set-up! BB: HE'S PUTTING HER IN THE WHEEL! HE'S STRAPPING ALICIA INTO THE WHEEL OF DEATH! Look at Eli! He's trying to climb up the outside of those cages to get to Randalls, to get to Alicia! But it's too late! She's strapped in, and the WHEEL is starting to turn! Randalls stands and stares at Eli for a moment before starting down the cages to get out! Miles quickly follows him down through the ladders and out through the bottom cage! This is awful. Randalls has gone way too far. He got suspended last year for viciously attacking GUNS, but this time...a woman. Paul Pierce wants to talk about sick? THIS, folks, THIS is SICK. Marvin, get the camera off of the WHEEL. GET IT OFF! CUT THE SHOT! -------------------------------------------------------- BB: Fans, I'm sorry about cutting out a few minutes ago. But I think that most of you, like me, are disgusted by what just took place. Whether you like the Eliminator or not, Alicia didn't deserve that. The paramedics are tending to the three people caught in the WHEEL, folks. I can tell you that I have received word that the most seriously injured was GOLIATH, who received some major contusions as well as broken ribs, but most of that was at the hands of Collins and his baseball bat, and was just aggravated by Randalls. I have not received a complete report on Alicia, but apparently her injuries are not extensive and just consist of a few minor cuts and burns. We've seen a lot tonight, folks. New Unified Tag Champions Japanese Assault, a new USN Heavyweight Champion in Aaron Reno, Billy Starr taking the Intracontinental Title, and of course, winners of the tag team tournament and new EN World Tag Champs Generation X-Press and runners-up and new US Tag Champs The FORCE. What a night folks. And that would've been enough...but then there was the severe beating Vince Bailey took at the hands of Hornet, followed by one of the big shocks of the night, as Paul Pierce dropped the Unified Title and renounced America's Team. Folks, I'm being told through my earpiece that CSWA Commissioners Chad Merritt and Stephen Thomas would like to address the crowd and the television audience. Let's go down to the ring. ST: First things first. Fans, I want to assure you that Mike Randalls will be dealt with, and dealt with severely for what just happened here at Battle of the Belts. And as for the Unified Title, that will all be dealt with as well by the Unified Championship Committee. But tonight, we're gonna take this opportunity to address the entire wrestling world. Enforcer? CM: It's been well over eight years now since we started the CSWA. In that time, the CSWA has established itself as the premiere wrestling organization in this sport. Whether you're talking Atlanta or Hartford, Philadelphia or Memphis, the organization out of Greensboro, North Carolina has shown that it constantly and consistently provides the best this sport has to offer. And if I can just stray from my point for one moment, I've got to say that much of what makes the CSWA is not just the wrestlers and other members of the organization, it's you fans. Steve? ST: And in being the best, there are always those who try to pull you off the pedestal. We've been called corrupt and power-hungry; we've been called fools and idiots. In fact, we've been called just about every name in the book. We've been complained about, complained to, lied about, lied to, whined about and whined to. We've been betrayed over the years by a number of people who wanted to destroy us, who wanted to be the best wrestling had to offer, but each time, they found that the CSWA simply continued its excellence. We've taken it, and taken it, and taken it, and taken it. We fought our battles with the ring, with the company, with the dynasty that is called the CSWA. BB: Wait a second, Sammy Benson has left the table here and is down with Merritt and Thomas at ringside. He's giving them that briefcase full of a million dollars! --------------------------------------------------------- BB: And we thought we had heard bombshells already tonight! ST: The first thing you have to realize is that CS Enterprises is the past, present, and future of professional wrestling! You can call us THE GODFATHERS!! As Chad said people have and are conspiring against us! But as much as you run your mouths..as much as you want to believe we're not as good as we used to be, as much as you want to believe that you're the best...you're not! You've called us cocky..amoung other things! Well, boys we're not cocky we're just better than you! (crowd cheers) It's like this kids, before we could drive a car, we were booking cards that sold out 100,000 seat arenas! Before we were old enough to vote, our net worth was 100 million dollars! When you think of Supercards, you think of the CSWA! Who created Superleagues....CS Enterprises did! Who have introduced the best wrestlers in the world, year in and year out...CS Enterprises has. We've done it all, and to be quite frank there's nothing left to do. As far as President Schmid goes, as far as every other wrestling promoter goes, and as far as every CSWA fan, wrestler, and official goes, WE'RE BORED BROTHER! BILL BUCKLEY: Haven't we heard this before? SAMMY BENSON: We've sunk to a new low. CHAD MERRITT: For the last four years, we've been called corrupt. Every man, woman, and midget that's step foot in the CSWA at one time or another have uttered the words, "CS is corrupt". It's funny how once you get to the top, you bash those you got you there. Without us, there would be no second rate CS wanna-bes. We're sick and tired of being bad mouthed! We've held our heads high, but the reception we've gotten over the last four years has been sickening! YOU CAN ALL STICK IT BROTHER!! (crowd cheers) STEPHEN THOMAS: We've taken your crap for the last four years, and it's time for it to stop! And the only way to stop, it would seem, is to shut things down!! Close shop if you will! BILL BUCKLEY: WHAT! CHAD MERRITT: But you see, you're not just going to come out here close the league, and walk away..we wouldn't give you the pleasure! Instead, we're going to let you close it yourself! Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome our NEW CSWA VP AJ Honold! (AJ walks out) BILL BUCKLEY: Sammy, I wasn't even aware that we had hired a new VP.. CHAD MERRITT: AJ, you're a good man...you look kind of funny, but you're a good man. AJ HONOLD: I thought we agreed no jokes...I swear if a ton of.. STEPHEN THOMAS: AJ...don't worry about it! You know, we hired you as the new CSWA VP! Well, my friend, as we said earlier..WE'RE BORED BROTHER! We don't have to take this crap any longer, and we're not! As of today, you are the NEW ACTING PRESIDENT of the CSWA....until somebody else can take over! CHAD MERRITT: We said, we'd let you close the league yourself..and that's what we're going to do! This goes out to anyone listening! Whether it be a fan, another promoter, or CSWA wrestlers...or wrestlers from any federation..if you want the CSWA you can HAVE IT! STEPHEN THOMAS: But, here's the catch! You have to beat us for it! That's right, 2 on 2 in the middle of the ring! From this day on at every CSWA card, we'll get in the ring with whoever signs the match....we'll put THE CSWA on the line, as well as this briefcase containing 1 MILLION DOLLARS! BILL BUCKLEY: Holy smokes! CHAD MERRITT: If you can beat Steve and I in the ring, you'll get the money and the CSWA! Then you can close the league yourself, or you can run the freakin' thing! It makes no difference, but WE WANT OUT!! WE'RE SICK OF IT!! Boys do you know how much money you'll be getting once you own the CSWA? (laughs) You'll have enough to buy a small country! AJ, will you do us the favor of taking over?! AJ HONOLD: I suppose..(signs contract) CHAD MERRITT: It's o-fish-al! We no longer have any power here what so ever!! The only thing we do have is ownership, and that could go at any time! The next CSWA Primetime, when we step into the ring with whoever is man enough to get in there with us, well....the next PRIMETIME could be the last call for the CSWA! (boos) STEPHEN THOMAS: AJ runs this place now, but if it's up to us..this place won't be around much longer! So who is it going to be? Who's going to be first to take a shot at the money, and the league???!!! CHAD MERRITT: At the next CSWA PRIMETIME we may very well be UNDER NEW OWNERSHIP!! WE'RE SICK OF IT! SO COME ON BOYS, AND FINISH WHAT YOU ALL STARTED! YOU ALL DISGUST ME! AJ HONOLD:(looking into camera) CUT IT!

The CSWA is the closest thing Prodigy ever had to a official league. Sure, there were months at a time when nothing happened, but it was all worth it. To me, the CSWA was Chad and Steve, and NOTHING could top it. The ASWF, AAWC, and NWC were all close...but they just weren't the CSWA. Nothing is the CSWA, and not to put down AJ, but...it just won't be the same. I'm here to offer help to AJ if he needs it...but that's it. I'm gonna miss you guys...and the way the CSWA used to be...good luck in the future, and I hope you have a new challenge someday. I guess now it's another "Who's the best on Prodigy" thing...but I honestly don't care. I liked the CSWA, and I don't EVER remember calling you guys corrupt. I said I'd lose...but I never said you were corrupt. It was great for the time that it was...but now what's done is done...good luck in the future, and thanks for the memories... -Joshua Levinson ASWF Co-President WWL Vice President PRODIGY(R) interactive personal service 01/27 05:18 PM Board: WRESTLING BB Topic: FANTASY-PRODIGY Subject: CSWA: BOB14 53 To: GTZJ96A J Dahacker Iii Date: 7/20/96 From: BGGD81C Matthew Rosenthal Time: 9:11AM ET Josh, I feel exactly the same! I originally considered teaming with you, BROTHER! We could beat CHad and Steve, but then we would own the CSWA. I don't WANT to OWN the CSWA! When everyone thinks CSWA, they say Chad and STeve, not Josh and Matt, or RObert and SHawn or anything! Well, it would be a horrible thought. I am here to lend support, but it will not be the same.

I LOVED you two I always COULDN'T wait to WRESTLE at a CSWA card! But, now you WANNA FIGHT YOU GOT IT! I wanna be first to kick there A**ES! Me and ANYONE ELSE I don't care if your FRIEND or ENEMY it doesn't matter to me... I'm just so UPSET right PLEASE anyone sign as my partner PLEASE!!!! But, it will NOT be the SAME WITHOUT CHAD & STEVE.... You've made the BIGGEST mistake you two our EVER gonna MAKE.....

Look at the CSWA. You didn't go out signing people, people came to ~you~ to be signed. I know that it's every wrestler's dream to just work one match in this league. I'm not out here to be a crowd pleaser, but you two, as the owners of the CSWA ARE. You can't just build up the greatest league and tear it down like that . It doesn't happen. And I'll be damned if I see this league go to ruins. Heartbreaker, we've had disagreements in the past, and out of all the people in the CSWA- you're not the first I'd choose to team with, but it looks like you and I are the only ones here that want to get the job done. I'll team with you, if you want my services. Chad, Steve you two boys have made the mistake of your life. I'm not going out there to wreslte just for the ownership or the money, I'm going out there to wrestle for revenge. Revenge for myself and believe it or not, revenge for the fans. It's the fans that pay my salary whether I like it or not and it's about time that I stand up for them. You stick it, CS.. YOU STICK IT.

I can understand how, after 8 years, you two would like to take a break and have some fun, or whatever, but, I hope you'll reconsider and not leave CSWA. Sure, someone else could probably come in and do what you guys do but it just wouldn't be the same. There just wouldn't be a CSWA without those first two letters. Think aobut the people that just joined, or those who have been working like a maniac since Thursday Night trying to think of a good gimmick for a wrestler. :) Look, whatever happens, I'll understand whatever your >>>> final decision on this may be, but I'm hoping like hell for the one and not the other. Pete and I'm sure I'd speak for Nessa too.
