BB: Fans, the fireworks have already started...those of the explosive variety that is. Welcome back to the second night of FISH FUND XI: END OF AN ERA, where the fireworks inside the ring are just getting underway! This, as always, is Bill Buckley, along with Sammy Benson. Last night we saw some incredible action, including some of the top young stars competing in the double elimination Greensboro Championship Tournament. While some have called the eight men competing "glorified jobbers," anyone who took the time out to watch that series of matches had to impressed. We'll have the final few matches of that tournament tonight. Also tonight, we'll finish up the CSWWA Women's World Championship! SB: More hooters!? BB: Did you come drunk tonight, considering you couldn't get any booze last night? SB: Shut up....can you believe it...the honor bar in my room was empty! And by the time I got home, the hotel bar had shut down too! It's a conspiracy I tell you! BB: Hey, at least you've still got a job, Sammy. Fans, also up tonight on the undercard, we'll see Japanese Assault defend their tag team titles again a team who beat them in a non-title matchup, Power Unlimited. SB: Considering Troy Windham almost became the Unified Tag Champions by himself, I think Japanese Assault might be in trouble for this one. BB: It'll certainly be a barnburner, that's for sure, especially after the brawl those four men had last night. There are many undercard matches on tap, but also, the Presidential Championship is on the line when the Eliminator takes on long-time enemy ATTAXX. SB: Rosenthal already has four tag belts in his stable now...why not a singles belt? BB: Well, ATTAXX and Eli met for the Intracontinental Championship months ago in a match that was full of controversy. Tonight, they'll look to settle the score. And speaking of settling the score, the Enterprise World Heavyweight Championship is on the line when Anarky defends against former Greensboro Champion Heartbreaker. These two men know each other inside and out....and this time, the loser will have to leave the CSWA for one month! All that and much more, and that's even before the TRIPLE MAIN EVENT. The United States/National Title may be on the line in the match between two of the top recognized talents in the world today, but that's not what this one is about. Last night, America's Team was able to get the win in WAR GAMES, when they added Mike Randalls to their team, something I never thought I'd see. But "Mr. Magnificent" always has his own tricks up his sleeve. But, Mark Windham wasn't once called "The Living Psycho" for nothing. Those two men will hook it up in a match that could end their feud once and for all, or it could simply add fuel to the fire. I tell you, Sammy, this X-Change/America's Team 'war' is like nothing I've ever seen. SB: Well, you got it right, it's war. And WAR GAMES didn't seem to settle a whole lot...it just got the tempers of those ten men up. (continued next note) BB: In the second part of the TRIPLE MAIN EVENT, the ownership of the CSWA is on the line one final time. CS Enterprises has announced that effective tonight, they will either hand the rights over to the man that pins them, or they'll sell to the highest bidder. Tonight, PRODIGY Board Leader BOB RYDER looks to break into the inside once and for all by taking over the CSWA with the help of former embittered CSWA VP Jon "Cruncher" Katz, and their special surprise. CS Enterprises announced that current CSWA Commissioner AJ would compete in the six-man on their team. SB: Of course, it may be two-on-three if Thomas can't even walk after what Katz did to him last night. BB: Well, it certainly looked as if Katz didn't want Knight to get the win. Maybe he's still bitter about what happened the last time he crossed paths with CS. SB: Maybe? The man beat the guy with a baseball bat for goodness' sakes. BB: True. And then, the first match signed for FISH FUND XI so long ago turns about to be the final MAIN EVENT. And it will be final, for one of the two men involved. Later on in the night we'll have a special video detailing the feud between two of the superstars anywhere in the wrestling world today, HORNET and GUNS, as they meet in a match that will end the CSWA career of one of the other tonight. We're just about ready to kick the wrestling off, but first, let's head down to our hostess here at FISH FUND PARK who is with Stan Parsons and the FISH FUND TOTEBOARD. Take it away, Hortense. SB: Oh Lord, somebody take HER away. Hortense: I heard that, Sammy! And I'll be coming up to see you about it in just a little while. SP: Thanks Bill and Sammy. We're halfway through the telethon now, and we're ready to check the toteboard. Can we have a drumroll please, Marvin? (Drumroll) The new total is.......$6.45????? That's lower than it was last time! (looks at Hortense) Hortense: Don't look at me! Please, can't a girl have a couple of Egg McMuffins for goodness' sakes? I swear, Stan Parsons, if you don't get that ugly look off your face right now I'm gonna slap it off. SP: I could say the same thing to you. (touches earpiece) Wait a second, folks, I've been told that a former multi-time World Champion has just cut a check. I've been told not to reveal the source, but I can tell you that I'm surprised. I mean, this is a man well known from running away from all responsibility just to further his ego....oh well, maybe he has a relative who has benefited from the FUND! Now let's check the toteboard again! Hortense? Hortense: The total now is.......$8.42? Good Lord, what's he been doing, working for free? SP: I'm not saying a word. Anyway....back to you Bill. SB: Buckley, if that fat thing that calls herself a woman comes up here, I'm gonna scream like a girl. BB: That's enough, Sammy. SB: I'm serious, Buckley! You've never had that tub of lard sit on YOU! BB: That's because I know enough to hold my tongue around the fat piece of hog meat. Whoops, did I say that? SB: Hortense! Hey Hortense! Did you hear that!? BB: She's gone, Sammy. Probably on her way up here to say hello to you. SB: Oh please Lord no. I'll be good, I promise. BB: No you don't. Folks, after this brief tease for ELVIS LIVES CELEBRATION XII, we'll return to kick off the action inside the ring! SB: Can I hide under the desk? Please? BILL BUCKLEY: Once again, 110,000 people are jam packed into FISH FUND Park/Arena! Day one, was a huge success! Sammy, Day two promises to be that much better! SAMMY BENSON: Considering last year's FISH FUND was nicknamed the Longest night, anything would be a success this year... BILL BUCKLEY: Let's not get into that...we're ready to roll! Day Two, FISH FUND XI: The End of an Era... SAMMY BENSON: Did I ever tell you I once went to a flea market and ended up working for a wrestling company that was redebuting? ============================================================ Carl Brigsby vs Steven Gage BILL BUCKLEY: Steve Gage is back in the CSWA, and he's ready to climb the ladder of success! Brigsby hasn't won a lot of matches, but he's a veteran! He knows what he's doing in there.. SAMMY BENSON: Give me a break, the man's been doing infomericals for the past 4 months.. BILL BUCKLEY: There's the bell, and this one is underway! Brigsby rakes the eyes...obviously he's going to do anything he can to get a win...Carl whips Steven into the ropes, he goes for a side-suplex, but Gage reverses and there's a flying leg scissors! SAMMY BENSON: This one is over.. BILL BUCKLEY: Gage goes to the top rope....Brigsby is a little stunned, Gage off the top with a shoulderblock! He can really excite the crowd, Sammy.. SAMMY BENSON: That's what he's trained to do, I hear he use to be a Chip and Dale's dancer... BILL BUCKLEY: Stop it.....Gage realizing he's got over 100,000 people behind him, thrusts Brigsby into the ropes, belly to belly suplex! SAMMY BENSON: We want Paige!! Paige! BILL BUCKLEY: Carl is as good as gone, right now!! This crowd, is pumped...and it's only our first match of the night!! SAMMY BENSON: In other words, they're already good and liqored up...for goodness sakes Buckley, this is Texas. BILL BUCKLEY: Steven Gage looks ready to put this one away...Inverted DDT, by Gage!! ONE....TWO...THREE!!! Steven Gage is victorious! SAMMY BENSON: Alright Steven!! Now, let's bring out Teri Melton!!! HO! HO! HOOT-- BILL BUCKLEY: That's enough....Steven Gage wins again... it's only a matter of time, Sammy, before he moves on to great things here in the CSWA! SAMMY BENSON: I'm not kidding, I want Teri... BILL BUCKLEY: You were fired once, it can be done again.. BILL BUCKLEY: Day two is now O-Fish-ally underway! Gage just defeated Carl Brigsby, and now the action contiunes from FISH FUND PARK/ARENA! SAMMY BENSON: What's your obession with the word O-Fish-al? ============================================================ Wolf vs ICE MAN BILL BUCKLEY: Wolf, is an up and coming star in the CSWA...!! Look out..he's all over ICE MAN!! There's the bell, but these two couldn't wait for it! SAMMY BENSON: Rumble young man Rumble!! BILL BUCKLEY: ICE MAN, cools off Wolf with a forearm! Again, ICE rocks Wolf with a european uppercut!! Call me crazy, but I think I just saw a few of Wolf's teeth fly out! SAMMY BENSON: You're not crazy...a little bit on the moronic side, but not crazy. BILL BUCKLEY: ICE on the top rope, pounding away at Wolf... Wolf picks up ICE...atomic drop! Now a clothesline! That brought the big man off his feet! SAMMY BENSON: As if the fans couldn't see that for themselves.. BILL BUCKLEY: Wolf....has ICE up, belly to back!! But he popped right back up!! This guy is huge! ICE MAN with a savat kick to Wolf's face! SAMMY BENSON: He's going to feel that in the morning... BILL BUCKLEY: ICE MAN sends World into the ropes, flying shoulderblock!! ONE...TWO..and that's all! Not too much is know about ICE, but he's putting on a show tonight! SAMMY BENSON: I told you the only show I care to see, is Teri Melton doing a number from 9 1/2 weeks... BILL BUCKLEY: ICE sets up for a piledriver it looks like!! But tries to lift Wolf up, but Wolf back body drops him!! There's a clothesline, that sends ICE MAN up and over the top rope...but he manages to land on the apron!! SAMMY BENSON: FAME we're gonna live forever!! BILL BUCKLEY: Wolf suplexes ICE MAN back in the ring!! This has turned out to be one heck of a match! ICE struggles to his feet.....Wolf has the ICE MAN, set up....TOMBSTONE PILEDRIVER!! SAMMY BENSON: Say goodnight Gracie! BILL BUCKLEY: ONE.....TWO.........THREE!!!! Wolf wins it!!! That was awesome!! SAMMY BENSON: Dare I say the ICE MAN, melted before our very eyes... BILL BUCKLEY: Stop...Sammy, you have to be impressed with Wolf, he's come here in the past and challenged Mark Windham amoung others... he's for real! SAMMY BENSON: Right now, the only thing I care about are my nachos! She's been gone for a day!! BB: Sammy, I've been told we're going to go to a special promo that has been cut for a wrestling veteran who is making his way into the CSWA. ============================================================ (Screen fades into a dark alley. Boxes and dumpsters make up the scenery, as a deep fog rolls around on the ground. One man emerges as the fog parts ahead of him. He stands still for a moment, statuesque...then, just as quickly as he emerged, he goes wild, destroying everything in sight, kicking, punching, mauling, tearing.) Voiceover: Into the darkness, he comes. He changes all, leaves nothing unchanged. There is no fear in his eyes, no word of submission on his lips. He is rage personified, ire incarnate. (In the scene, the man continues his destructive path. The street lights explode, give way to a shower of sparks. Fire falls like rain, it sets various piles of debris ablaze. The figure doesn't seem phased, he continues his swath of entropy.) Voiceover: With him, he brings light and heat...combined they join to become destruction. They carve through everything in their path, burning, tearing...until nothing remains, everything is vaporized....ashes. Fire consumes. (The figure in the alleyway stops suddenly. He surveys the damage he has caused, he sees the broken lamplights, the fire raging up the walls. He turns and walks back into the fog.) Voiceover: Do not go gently into that good night, Rage, RAGE, against the dying of the light. BB: Fans, we'll be right back with the final matches from both Tournaments from Day One. The first CSWWA Women's World Champion will be crowned, and a new Greensboro Champion will emerge from the double elimination tournament. And, of course, later tonight, "The Whiner Who Would Be King" continues his self-proclaimed JOBTOUR '96, when GUNS and HORNET meet to determine who will stay in the CSWA. Plus much, much more! ************************************************************ Greensboro Tournament Round 3 Winners Bracket Rocky Ford Meloneer v. "Primetime" Xavier Virile ************************************************************ BB: Fans the long road to the Greensboro Championship has gotten a little smaller, as four men were eliminated from competition last night on Day 1. Here we've got the winners bracket matches with two men who were able to stay undefeated so far, RF Meloneer and Xavier Virile. SB: If Fruit boy wins this tournament, I may just pick up and find a new organization to work for. BB: Well that is a possibility, but for him to do so he's got to get past a very tough Xavier Virile. These two are ready to lock up so here we go. Lock up and it's the strength of RF Meloneer which gets him the advantage and he shrugs Virile off and to the ropes. SB: Melon boy is going to need more then a little strength to beat someone like Virile. BB: Yes he will, but remember Rocky Ford Meloneer is also a tremendously gifted technical wrestler. SB: Yeah..yeah.. BB: Both wrestlers square off again, RF Meloneer with a side head lock. Virile trying to escape sends Melon to the ropes... Drop Kick by Virile. Melon stumbles back but doesn't fall. Virile right back to his feet and nails him with another drop kick which finally lands Meloneer on the canvas. Virile right on top of him, gets Meloneer as he's getting up to his feet, Irish Whip... BACK BODY DROP and Meloneer crashes back to the canvas. Virile off the ropes, Elbow Drop... NO ONE HOME. Meloneer at the last second rolled away from that one. SB: Wow he does have a brain. BB: Both men back to their feet and stare at each other cautiously. Lock up again, Virile with a quick wristlock reversed by Meloneer. Virile reaches for the ropes for the break. Meloneer out clean, but Virile cheap shots him. Virile follows up with a quick Belly to Belly Suplex. Cover... ONE...T-KICKOUT. Virile back to his feet, meets Meloneer, BACKBREAKER. Virile is going for a quick win here. Another cover... ONE...T-KICKOUT AGAIN. Meloneer isn't even close to being out of this match. SB: Too bad, but we can wish can't we. BB: Virile back to his feet and attacks at Meloneer again, Elbow drop nails Meloneer right in the chest. Meloneer slowly getting back to his feet. Irish Whip by Virile, REVERSED by Meloneer. Virile on the return caught by MELONEER... SPINEBUSTER. Virile slow to get back to his feet and when he does he's met by a Meloneer Drop Kick. The big man got up high on that one and sends Virile to the canvas again. SB: Come on Xavier. Buckley I really need a drink. BB: Virile slow to his feet and Meloneer is right there again to mee him. Scoops him up... BODY SLAM. Virile crashes to the mat. Elbow drop by Meloneer and a cover. ONE...TW-NO. Virile kicks out. Virile not done yet. He's getting back to his feet now, and Meloneer is there waiting for him. Irish Whip by Meloneer... Virile on the return... POWERSLAM. Virile is down hard. Cover... ONE...TWO KICKOUT. SB: Don't do this to us, it's time for "Primetime". BB: Xavier right now in big trouble and it's Melon time. Virile on the canvas and Meloneer is waiting for him to get up. This might actually be a bad move by Meloneer, why give his opponent even a few seconds to breathe. SB: Because he's a dumb hick. I told you that, the fans all know that. EVERYONE knows that. BB: Your just bitter. SB: I'M NOT BITTER. BB: Virile back to his feet again and Meloneer is right back on top of the action. Meloneer with a Back Suplex... Virile in trouble now. Here's another cover... ONE...TWO... KICKOUT by Virile. SB: This is not good for the heart. Where's our waiter, I've got to have a drink. Rocky Ford Meloneer is driving me to drink. BB: Meloneer right now is driving to his first CSWA Title, as he's been impressive here in the Greensboro Championship Tournament. Virile is in some serious trouble and is having problems getting back to his feet. Meloneer over to help him up.. ROLLUP. ONE..TWO..KICKOUT. SB: That was THREE... BB: No it wasn't Sammy. Meloneer with a scare there though, as Xavier Virile almost caught him by surprise and got the three count. Both men to their feet now and Virile is looking a little better. SB: He better be. He's got to win this match. BB: Lock up by these two, Meloneer with a side headlock. Virile whips him to the ropes. FRANK-N-VIRILE. SB: Frank-n-Virile ? BB: Well he said since he's the master of it, it should be named for him. SB: Whatever... BB: Meloneer down, Virile back to his feet... Catches Meloneer as he's getting up... DROP KICK. Virile starting to get a second wind... Elbow Drop. SB: YEAH, let's go Virile. BB: Meloneer slow to his feet, he's met by Virile... BACKBREAKER. Meloneer in big trouble now it appears. Virile to the second rope... Flying Elbow. Here's a cover... ONE...TWO...KICKOUT by Meloneer. SB: Can that referee possibly count slower ? BB: He's counting just fine Sammy don't stir up trouble. Virile back to his feet, grabs Meloneer and whips him to the ropes... TILT-A-WHIRL SUPLEX... Covers him... ONE...TWO...KICKOUT again by Meloneer BB: Virile can't believe that he didn't get the three count. He's heading up to the top rope... waiting for Meloneer to get back to his feet... Meloneer is up... FLYING DROP KICK.. MELONEER GOT OUT OF THE WAY. Virile is down, and so is Meloneer. SB: GET UP.. GET UP.. Come on, don't let the melon freak win this thing. BB: Both men are down, and they are just stirring now. Who will be the first to get back to his feet, it's going to be Xavier Virile. He's behind Meloneer now who's just trying to get to his feet now... BELLY TO BACK SUPLEX and Meloneer crashes down to the canvas. SB: Wheeewwwww. BB: Cover by Virile... ONE...TWO...Th-KICKOUT again by Meloneer. SB: Do I even need to ask you if you thought that count was slow ? Or are you just going to concede that the referee is doing everything he can to help this Farmer boy to make it to the finals. BB: I do concede anything. Your starting to sound like GUNS complaining about referee's over and over again. Virile is back to his feet again, waiting behind Rocky Ford Meloneer. Meloneer to his feet slowly now, and Virile slaps on the Virile Clutch. He's got it cinched in, right in the center of the ring. SB: Say goodnight Gracey. BB: You may have something Sammy. Virile has it locked on solid in the center of the ring and Meloneer can't go anywhere. Rocky Ford Meloneer is in an obvious amount of pain and is trying his hardest to hang on and not give up here. SB: If he was smart he'd do it right now and get it over with. BB: Because he's going to have more matches tonight ? SB: Well I was thinking because he's outclassed, but call it how you see it. BB: The referee is asking Meloneer again if he's ready to give it up and Rocky Ford is still fighting it. He's not making any progress in getting the hold off or making his way to the ropes though. SB: Nah...nah..nah...nah.. hey..hey..hey... GOOD BYE. BB: Well Meloneer would still be in the losers bracket even if he does submit. BB: HE DID. Rocky Ford Meloneer has to submit. Xavier Virile is the winner and he is the first competitior that will be in the finals for the Greensboro Championship. Meloneer falls to the canvas when Virile releases the hold and he's in pain. SB: I told you he didn't have what it took to be a champion here. BB: Fans more great action, so don't go anywhere. BILL BUCKLEY: Sammy, as Day Two rolls on, we have to mention the CSWWA! The first ever CS Women's champion will be crowned tonight! SAMMY BENSON: I don't care what people say, all CSWWA wrestlers should be dipped in baby oil and wrestle in the nude! BILL BUCKLEY: Sammy, that's not what the CSWWA is about! It's about the best women wrestlers from around the world competiting to see who's the best of the best! That's what the CSWWA stands for... SAMMY BENSON: Then I want no part of it... BILL BUCKLEY: Figured as much.. ============================================================ The Executioner vs Aaron Reno BILL BUCKLEY: Sammy, speaking of women...the Executioner was just escorted to the ring with his manager, the "Death Doll" Kristi! SAMMY BENSON: She's not Teri...but fly those friendly skies! BILL BUCKLEY: The Executioner has a tall order tonight, if he wants to get the job done...he's in the ring with a former USN Heavyweight Champion, Aaron Reno!! SAMMY BENSON: I don't care much for Reno, but he's not as bad as he use to be.. BILL BUCKLEY: I guess that's an endorsement... Reno and the Executioner lock up in the middle of the ring...Reno with a arm drag!! Followed by a flying dropkick! SAMMY BENSON: Take it off honey, take it all off.. BILL BUCKLEY: The Executioner rolls outside...and he's getting an earful from the Death Doll! Reno over the top rope, flying body press!! Kristi took that blow as well! SAMMY BENSON: She's a real woman, Buckley! She can take it, and by god sooner or later I'm going to find out if she can dish it out! BILL BUCKLEY: Reno...picks up the Executioner and slams him down on the steps!! Aaron fires the Executioner's head, into the iron post!! SAMMY BENSON: She wants me Buckley, I know it....women just can't keep their hands off me.. BILL BUCKLEY: Aaron, grabs the Executioner by the hand, and whips him into the iron railing!!! He follows up with another clothesline!! SAMMY BENSON: Let's get these two boys out of there, and bring in a woman for Kristi fight....naked of course! BILL BUCKLEY: Reno has a chair...but the Executioner kicks him in the gut...takes the chair, and bashes it over Reno's head! SAMMY BENSON: Come on, kid, let Kristi get a few shots in! BILL BUCKLEY: The Executioner picks up Reno, and drops him over the iron railing!! BILL BUCKLEY: This one is getting nasty in a hurry! The Executioner, slams Reno's head into the mat, before rolling him back in the ring! Right about now, The Death Doll is one happy woman! SAMMY BENSON: You bet your sugar cakes she is! Speaking of sugar cakes...give me a spoonfull of.. BILL BUCKLEY: The Executioner, takes his time in the ring...picks up Reno and drops him over the top rope! He's got everything workin right now, Sammy! SAMMY BENSON: Work it honey! BILL BUCKLEY: I was talking about the Executioner... SAMMY BENSON: Your point, being? BILL BUCKLEY: Forget it...Reno on his knees fires a few shots to the Executioner's stomach, but it does no good! Reno is sent flying across the ring, and he hits hard against the turnbuckle!! SAMMY BENSON: He flew out of that corner, like little boys fly out of Neverland! BILL BUCKLEY: The Executioner, feeling that he's got this one under control, picks Reno up, short-arm clothesline!! ONE...TWO...RENO KICKS OUT! SAMMY BENSON: As much as I love Kristi, she's not a very good manager...that's where she's suppose to hold Reno's legs down....she'll learn in time. BILL BUCKLEY: Reno again is sent flying into the corner, this time the Executioner charges in, but Aaron slides out of the way, and the turnbuckle has a taste of the Executioner! SAMMY BENSON: It's now or never honey take it off, to distract Reno! If not for that reason, then do it for me! BILL BUCKLEY: Reno is to his feet, he's hammering away at the big man! Executioner is whipped into the ropes, powerslam by Reno!! SAMMY BENSON: She doesn't listen very well, does she... BILL BUCKLEY: Aaron goes to the top rope, but Kristi has him by the ankle....she's trying to pull him off the ropes! SAMMY BENSON: There ya go.. BILL BUCKLEY: Reno pulls Kristi up by the hair!!! He just threw her up and over the top rope, she did a flying body press on her man!! SAMMY BENSON: Oh dear.. BILL BUCKLEY: Reno from the top...elbow drop on both of them!! ONE....TWO.....THREE!! He's won it!!! SAMMY BENSON: He touched her, Buckley...He..got to touch her.. BILL BUCKLEY: Reno wins it!! What a match! Up next, the finals of the two tournaments! BB: Fans we've got some more great Greensboro Title Action coming at you now, with the few matches that we have left from last night. I'm sorry to say that Billy Starr is not with us again for the second night of Fish Fund, and we haven't been able to find out why. He's left his hotel suite that he had been staying in, and there is no indication of where he went. SB: Are you saying the Hotel lost a cripple ? BB: What I'm saying is that his whereabouts are currently unknown. No one knows what has happened. We are still trying to find out as we speak. SB: Oh, who cares. BB: I'm sure that many of the fans do. SB: Sure... BB: Well Sammy, your entitled to your opinion of course, but for now we've got matches to attend to. The Greensboro Tournament is in full swing and we will have a match featuring two men that had to overcome some serious obsticals last night to survive into today's rounds. Our first match tonight in the tournament will have Clint "Critical Mass" Collins taking on "Mr. Suicide" Scottie Vai. SB: Think either of them will even be able to fight tonight ? BB: I'm sure they will, they both showed a refusal to quit last night and should be feeling better tonight. Let's get to the ring as these men are about ready to lock up. ************************************************************ Greensboro Tournament Round 3 Losers Bracket Clint "Critical Mass" Collins v. "Mr. Suicide" Scottie Vai ************************************************************ BB: Collins and Vai both in the ring now and both look better then they did last night. SB: They couldn't look worse. I thought we were watching ER instead of the CSWA. BB: Well these men are ready to lock up now, Scottie Vai with a sideheadlock on Collins. Collins powers out and sends Vai for the ride off the ropes. Vai on the return cross body block on Collins who catches him and POWERSLAMS him to the canvas. SB: Vai is jumping into attacks now ? No wonder he's called Mr. Suicide. BB: Collins right back to his feet and he grabs Vai as he's getting up, BODY SLAM and Vai is back down on the canvas for the second time. SB: Collins actually in control of this thing early on, maybe he can actually win ? BB: I'm sure that he has a great shot of winning, he has proven to be big and strong enough so far. SB: Sure he has. BB: He's got Vai up again to his feet, whips him to the ropes, no Vai reversal and it's Collins to the ropes and back... Drop Kick by Vai. Collins to the canvas and gets right back up and is met by another big Scottie Vai Drop Kick. Collins a little slower to his feet this time and Vai is there, Irish Whip... FRANK-N-STEINER. Cover... ONE...KICKOUT and a powerful one by Collins. SB: Vai needs to keep this pace up on him and wear him down. BB: He's got Clint Collins back to his feet again, SNAP SUPLEX. Collins starting to feel the effects is slow to his feet and he's met by Vai who grabs him and again whips him to the ropes. Collins on the return is met by a Spinning Wheel Kick by Scottie Vai. Collins stumbling and Vai nails him with a STANDING DROP KICK. COLLINS OVER THE TOP ROPE AND DOWN TO THE FLOOR. SB: Ut-oh. BB: Vai quickly scales the ropes... PLANCHA. What a move, Collins is down and in some real trouble here. Vai rolls back into the ring to break the count and rolls back out to get Clint Collins. Grabs him by the head and brings him to his feet. Irish Whip... Right into the RING POST. Collins is down and Vai is not letting up on him. He rolls him into the ring, and climbs back up to the top rope. MOONSAULT. Cover... ONE...TWO....THR-NO... Somehow Clint Collins is able to get that shoulder off the canvas. The fans seem upset, they are behind Scottie Vai big time and wanted to see him advance. SB: No wonder this guy leaps around the ring like a mad man, the fans love that. They want to see him win almost as much as they want to see him break a bone or his neck. Speaking of that, any word on Starr ? BB: No, not a word, although we have heard that there have been threats made against his life lately by another organization. SB: Probably a second class type of league. Even I have a limit on what I would do to a cripple. BB: You said it, not me. Anyway back to the action it's Scottie Vai clearly in control. Collins is fighting back to his feet but he's taking a lot of punishment here early on. Vai waiting for him to rise to his feet, grabs him from behind, BELLY TO BACK SUPLEX. Collins crashes right back to the canvas. SB: Why doesn't Collins just pack it up. BB: He's not a quitter Sammy. He's trying again to get back to his feet and Scottie Vai is there to help him up. Vai Irish Whips Collins to the ropes, Clint on the return, shoulderblock sneds Vai reeling. SB: Collins isn't in any shape though to follow up on that attack. BB: Collins resting on the ring ropes as Scottie Vai gets back to his feet. Roundhouse by Collins catches Vai off guard and Collins follows it up with a Belly to Belly Suplex. Cover... ONE...TWO..KICKOUT by Vai. SB: He almost shocked him on that one. BB: Both men slow to their feet as that took a lot out of Collins to come back like that. BB: Collins grabs Vai by the head and pulls him back to his feet. Collins scoops up Vai... BODY SLAM. Vai down on the canvas as he hit very hard. Vai in trouble now and Clint Collins is gaining some steam. SB: Whoever wins this match will still have a couple more matches if they get through them, so they should be trying to finish this one off quicker. BB: Good point Sammy, but your opponent might not want to be so helpful. Vai getting back to his feet and Clint Collins whips him to the ropes, Vai on the return, leap frogs over Collins and back to the far ropes... on the return, FLYING CLOTHESLINE. Both men hit hard and are slow to rise. Vai is waiting for him, kick to the midsection, and grabs him in a sideheadlock. Collins with a push off, but Vai holds on and BULLDOGS Collins to the canvas. Collins slow to rise and Scottie Vai is waiting for him... Drop Kick. Both men to the canvas and Scottie Vai is fast up. SB: Finish him off, come on. BB: Clint Collins getting back to his feet now, and he's met again by Scottie Vai. Vai SPINNING NECKBREAKER... nails it. SB: That's about it. BB: The fans are going nuts now as Scottie Vai points to the ropes. SB: They are chearing for him to break his neck. BB: No they aren't. Scottie Vai climbs up to the top rope. MOONSAULT. Nails Clint Collins. The referee counts. SB: He could count to ten. BB: ONEEE.....TWO......THREE.... It's over and Scottie Vai wins this one over a tough competitior in Clint "Critical Mass" Collins. I wouldn't be surprised to see much more from Collins in the months to come here in the CSWA. He showed a lot of heart in a losing effort here in this tournament. SB: He's a rookie, give him time. BB: As for "Mr. Suicide" Scottie Vai, he looked good in his match tonight and he's got to wait now for the loser of the Rocky Ford Meloneer and Xavier Virile match tonight. SB: When are the hooters coming out for their tournament, I can't wait for them. BB: But again tonight you won't be here. SB: It's just not fair. ************************************************************ CSWWA LADIES ENTERPRISES WORLD TITLE TOURNAMENT Suzy Q v. Queen Sonya ************************************************************ BB: Fans I'm back with Billy Buckley at my side here in the announcers booth instead of Sammy and that means that it must be time for the next round of CSWWA Ladies matches. ByB: Yes it is, we've got the two semi-final matches coming up right now, the first one should be very interesting between two ladies who have become very well known in the NWC and the second between two ladies that have some bad blood because of their dealings in the various federations that they work for. BB: Your talking about Stephanie Conner and Electra. ByB: Yes I am. Queen Sonya is making her way to the ring, with Princess Zelda leading the way. BB: The Queen is looking rather regal tonight and has made some strong statements about her opponent here tonight. ByB: Yes she has. Sonya now in the ring and here comes Suzy Q. No.... not yet... BB: Where is she ? ByB: She hasn't appeared from the back as of yet... BB: Fans we don't know what's going on, but so far we have not seen Suzy Q. ByB: The CSWWA Commissioner is now making his way down to ringside and he's asking for the house mic. Let's listen in. COMMISSIONER: Ladies and Gentlemen, to the best of our knowledge Suzy Q has not entered the building for tonight's Tournament Match. Given that this is already the semi-finals we find it unfair to replace her should she not make it down here in time to meet the twenty count that the referee will start momentarily. Should she not be here ready to wrestle after the count, the match will be awarded to Queen Sonya by Count Out. BB: Well you heard the commissioner, Queen Sonya will advance to the finals without having to have a match, unless Suzy Q makes it to the ring very quickly. ByB: The refere is into double digits now. Thirteen... BB: No sign of Suzy Q... That's it, the referee counts to twenty and calls for the bell. Queen Sonya will get the tremendous advantage of making it to the finals unopposed in this round. ByB: Well we still have the Conner v. Electra match in a few seconds though. The winner of these two will be forced to face an extra opponent to win the World Title then will Queen Sonya. ************************************************************ CSWWA LADIES ENTERPRISES WORLD TITLE TOURNAMENT "Stone Cold" Stephanie Conner v. Electra ************************************************************ BB: Fans we are ready now for our other Semi-Final match that was scheduled for tonight. Once again we have no idea as to the wearabouts of Suzy Q and we appoligize for having only one match in the semi-finals of this tournament to crown the first ever Ladies Enterprises World Champion. Billy, what do you think of these two competitiors coming up. ByB: Well both of them have proven themselves quite well in their first match and I know that they have made some strong comments towards each other over the weeks leading up to this match. I forcast a very good match, but it's really to close to actually pick a winner. BB: OK, we are ready to start up here, Conner and Electra in a collar to collar elbow lock up, Conner with the advantage and grabs Electra in a wristlock. Electra, quickly rakes the eyes of Conner and she breaks the hold. Electra quick to follow up on Conner's sight problem and nails her in the side of the head with a big forearm. Irish Whip, clothesline by Electra. ByB: Electra coming out strong here, she has something that she wants to prove in this match. BB: Conner back to her feet now and Electra is right there, Electra with a slap to the face of Stone Cold Stephanie, follows up with a karate chop... and another karate chop. Irish Whip to the ropes.... BACK BODY DROP. ByB: Wow did you hear how loud those slaps were, they are going to leave marks. BB: Don't even go there. ByB: What ? BB: No Sammy comments. ByB: I wasn't going to. Conner is getting back to her feet now, but Electra is just waiting for her again, CLIPS out the KNEE. BB: Conner limping, but not going to the ground. Electra follows up with a Russian Leg Sweep and locks up Conner in a reverse leglock. ByB: So far Electra has been just about perfect in this one. She has done everything she's needed to do, and she controls the pace of the match and has Conner in a bad position. BB: Electra still applying pressure to that leg, but Stephanie is able to get to the ropes and the referee calls for the break. Electra a little slow to release the hold and she gets a warning from the referee because of it. ByB: Conner back to her feet now, and she's testing that leg. BB: Doesn't look like there is any problem with it. ByB: They lock up again, arm lock by Electra...reversal by Conner now. Conner with the arm lock and Electra now trying to find away out of the hold, is able to re-reverse the hold. Conner now backs up pushing Electra to the ropes. The referee calls for the break and Conner backs off, and then KICKS Electra in the midsection. Conner uppercut, and Electra is staggering here. BB: Yes she is, and Stephanie Conner is quick to the offense now. She scoops up Electra and Body Slams her to the canvas. Electra back to her feet and she's met by Conner again. Snap Suplex by Conners sends Electra slamming to the canvas again. Conner quick to the offense grabs Electra up and SNAP MARES her to the canvas. Quick to follow up with a reverse chinlock. ByB: Now it's Conner's turn. She's got the upperhand now and she will try to wear down her opponent. BB: She has Electra tightly in her grasp and Electra can't break free of the hold. ByB: Conner with that hold cinched in tightly and the referee is now asking Electra if she wants to submit ? I don't think so. BB: Conner now letting up on the chinlock and dragging Electra back to her feet. Irish Whips her to the ropes and catches her on the return in an Abdominal Stretch. ByB: "Stone Cold" Stephanie Conner is showing herself to be quite a technician in this match, taking it to Electra with a nice mixture of wear down holds. It will be interesting to see how long Electra can take this attack and be able to be effective against Conner. BB: Who knows, but right now it's Conner continuing to wear down her opponent with that Abdominal Stretch. ByB: Electra able to get to the ropes and break the hold and this time we have a clean break. Electra starting to look a little worse for the wear here in this match, which means that "Stone Colds" strategy must be working well so far. BB: Electra off the ropes and ready to go again, STANDING DROP KICK by Conner. Electra staggers to the corner and Conner comes flying in with a Splash. Electra stumbling out of the corner ready to fall, but Conner catches her and turns her over with a big POWERSLAM. Cover by Conner... ONE...TWO... KICKOUT. Conner right back to her feet but Electra isn't quite as quick. ByB: Wow, Conner looking real good so far tonight and Electra just seems a little overwhelmed at the constant bashing that Stephanie Conner has been inflicting on her here. BB: Electra back to her feet, met by Conner INSIDE CRADLE... ONE...TW- KICKOUT by Conner. ByB: Conner isn't going to get taken out that easily. BB: Both ladies back to their feet and it's Conners again with the upper hand whipping Electra to the ropes. DROP KI-NO Elctra holds onto the ropes and Conner goes crashing down to the canvas. ByB: Elctra telling the ringside crowd how she outsmarted Stephanie on that one. ByB: Watch out, Conner from behind with a roll up... ONE...TWO...Kickout by Electra. She didn't outsmart her there. BB: No her cockyness almost cost her big on that one. Conner now looking more angry then anything else, starts stomping on Electra before she can even get to her feet. Electra slowly trying to get up and get back into this, but she's meeting a fierce attack by Conners. She's finally to her feet and Conner still right on top of her. Now it's Stephanie with the karate chops, one...two...three... all of them connecting right into the chest area of Electra, who is feeling those blows. ByB: Stephanie Conner is a woman who right now is not happy. The missed dropkick and the inside cradle, those little moves by Electra that caught Stone Cold off guard have suceeded in getting her angry. BB: Conner now, continuing the attack, grabs Conner and DDT's her to the canvas. Ohhh that had to hurt. Conner though isn't done yet, she's got Electra by the head and she's bringing her back to her feet. What now... ByB: It looks like she's bringing her to the ropes, to the corner. Electra vailantly trying to fight back and stop Conner from whatever she plans on. Electra catches Conner in the midsection with a knee, SNAP SUPLEX... Conner is slammed hard to the canvas. She's right back to her feet and Electra grabs her again... ANOTHER SUP-NO. Conner blocks... SUPLEX OF HER OWN.. Snap Suplex brings over Electra and slams her to the canvas. Cover by Conner. ONE...TWO.. KICKOUT by Electra. BB: Electra slow to her feet this time, and Conner is trying to get her in a position where she's from behind. Electra to her feet and Stephanie Conner grabs her in a Sleeper Hold. She's got it hooked in. ByB: They might be too near to the ropes though, Electra might be able to work her way to the ropes and have the hold broken. BB: Right now she's not going anywhere, as she's caught tightly by Conner. ByB: This might be it right here. Electra looking like she's feeling the effects of this, which is actually Queen Sonya's finishing maneauver. BB: Electra reaching for that rope, and she's just able to touch it... Not a grab though and the referee doesn't break. ByB: She's able to move closer to the ropes now though and make the grab. Referee Worthingtgon breaks and Conner attacks real quickly with an Elbow shot to the head of Electra. Snap Suplex... NO SLINGSHOT SUPLEX.. COVER... ONE...TWO...Kickout by Electra. Conner right back to her feet and grabs Electra with her. To the ropes again, places Electra on the ropes... Conner now climbs the ropes... SUPERPLEX. BB: That should be it, Conner with the pin... ONE...TWO... THREE.... It's over and "Stone Cold" Stephanie Conner will be the other finalist in the first ever CSWWA Ladies Enterprises World Championship Match with Queen Sonya. ByB: I look foward to that match later on tonight. ************************************************************ Greensboro Tournament Loser's Bracket Final Rocky Ford Meloneer v.

BB: Vai can't get the Suplex and has to let Meloneer go. Meloneer, SHORT ARM CLOTHESLINE, and holds onto Scottie Vai, keeping him on his feet. SB: You know, in honor of this Rocky Ford guy, how about letting me just have a couple of Melon Balls ? See I'm willing to work with this. BB: Stop it Sammy, you've been cut off remember ?

Queen Sonya ************************************************************ BB: This is it, the final match to crown the first ever Ladies World Champion. "Stone Cold" Stephanie Conner is already in the ring, and Queen Sonya is now being led to the ring by Princess Zelda. ByB: Interesting phrase... "Crown a new champion" are you insinuating you think the Queen will prevail. BB: Not at all. ByB: OK, we are just about set to lock up, Conner with the side head lock, Queen Sonya however isn't to keen on that one, and she whips Conner to the ropes... on the return catches her with a knee to the midsection. Conner doubled over with that one and Queen Sonya is quick to follow it up with an elbow to the back of the head that sends Stephanie Conner to the canvas. BB: Conner looking a little slow here in this one, while Queen Sonya who didn't have to wrestle tonight looks very fresh and ready to take the attack at her opponent. ByB: She certainly does, Conner back to her feet, met by a kick to the midsection by Queen Sonya who follows it up with a big slap right across the face of Stone Cold. BB: Queen Sonya clearly in control here early on and she's prepared to take advantage of it. Body Slam by Queen Sonya and Conners is back to the canvas.

BB: Queen Sonya grabs Stephanie Conner and brings her back up to her feet. Whips her to the ropes... CATCHES HER WITH A BIG POWERSLAM. Quick cover... ONE..TW-KICKOUT. ByB: Even having had another match so far tonight, don't expect Stephanie Conner to just roll over and play dead though. She's having some trouble getting started but she's got a lot of heart and won't give up without a tremendous fight. BB: She's trying to get to her feet now and Queen SOnya is right there... SMALL PACKAGE...ONE...TW-KICKOUT by Sonya and the Queen does not appear to be too happy now. She's back to her feet and she's stomping on Stephanie. ByB: You don't want to get the Queen mad, but unfortunately it looks too late. BB: Stephanie Conner trying to get to her feet, but Queen Sonya is right there. ByB: She's got her at the ropes and she's using that top rope to choke the life out of Stephanie Conner. The referee with a five count and Queen Sonya finally breaks the hold. BB: Conner though, already took the brunt of it slumps back to the canvas. BB: Right now Conner is trying to get back to her feet as the referee repeats some instructions to Queen Sonya about what she is and isn't supposed to be doing in that ring. ByB: Conner needs to turn this one around soon, or it might be too late for her to regroup. Queen Sonya looks on fire tonight and will be very difficult to beat. BB: Conner back to her feet, leaning against the ropes, trying to get a second to regroup. Queen Sonya not wanting that, charges at Conner. CONNER DUCKS DOWN AND HOLDS THE ROPE DOWN. Oh My. Queen Sonya went flying right over the top rope and crashed down onto the arena floor. ByB: Stephanie Conner though, needs this time to try and regroup and isn't even trying to get to the outside and capitalize on Queen Sonya's fall. BB: Queen looks a little shaken up out there, as Princess Zelda is at her side helping her back to her feet. Queen Soyna climbs back up the ring steps and has a few words for "Stone Cold" Stephanie Conner before she gets back in. The referee has to almost physically drag Conner away from the ropes and Queen Sonya is now back into the ring. ByB: These two competitiors eye each other up again and here we go. Queen Sonya with the advantage side head lock on Conner. Conner backs to the ropes and Irish Whips Queen Sonya to the far side, on the return the two collide and neither really gives up much ground.

Conner back to her feet, ARM DRAG again. Conner slower to her feet this time and backs off this time. ByB: Conner needs to try and figure out what she needs to do to turn the advantage. Queen Sonya with the upperhand through most of this, but she hasn't really been able to keep Stone Cold Stephanie Conner down. BB: Both ladies eyeing each other up again, Leg sweep by Conner sends Queen to the canvas, Conner follows up with an elbow drop to the back, and slides on top of her and grabs her in a reverse chinlock.

ByB: Queen Sonya taking full control of this match right now, and she's got Stephanie Conner to her feet again. Another Suplex... NO BLOCKED by Conner... Conner SUPLEX of her own. Gets her over. Both ladies down as that took a lot of strength from Stephanie Conner. BB: Queen Sonya stirring first as she's getting back to her feet. Stephanie Conner also trying to get back to her feet, but Queen Sonya is going to get to Conner before she can get all the way up. ByB: Elbow though by Conner into the midsection of Queen Sonya.. Another Elbow. Conner back to her feet, UpperCut. She's got Sonya, whips her to the ropes, Drop Kick. BB: Conner is finding energy deep down inside to keep going in this one. She's got the upperhand now, but you can tell that she is rather tired. ByB: Well she had a tough match early against Electra and she's had a grueling contest here with Queen Sonya. Both ladies are back to their feet here, ready to go again, Queen Sonya calling for a test of strength... Conner weary of getting into one of those. She's cautiously putting up her left hand... KICK to the midsection by Queen Sonya doubles over Stephanie Conner. BB:Queen Sonya follows up with a POWERBOMB. This might be over. ONE...TWO...THR-NO. Somehow Stephanie Conner is able to kickout at the very last instant. Queen Sonya is a little upset, she thought she had the three count. She's yelling at the referee, telling him three.. ByB: She better be careful and finsih this off. Conner starting to get to her feet... ROLL UP... ONE...TWO...KICKOUT by Queen Sonya.

BB: We saw Stephanie Conner use that hold before and now it's Queen Sonya's turn to show everyone that it's her finished. ByB: Stephanie Conner in trouble, the referee checks the arm.. it falls once... it falls twice... it fall-no she's able to hold it up a little the third time. BB: Queen Sonya actually released the sleeperhold and Stephanie Conner is down and out. Queen Sonya scopes her out and drops an elbow. ByB: What's she doing now ? She should cover here and get the three count. BB: Queen Sonya to the second rope, Flying Elbow Drop... It's over.. Cover by Queen Sonya.... ONE... TWO... THREE.... ByB: WE HAVE A WINNER AND NEW WORLD CHAMPION. The referee gets the championship belt from the officals at ringside and Queen Sonya has been officially been given the CSWWA Ladies Enterprises World Championship. BB: What a match though, and I'm sure we will see more from Stephanie Conner... very soon. Fans we've got to move on, as Queen Sonya walks out of the ring with her new championship. BB: Fans, we see Queen Sonya heading back to the dressing room with the title and...hey, wait a second, someone else just entered the ring. ByB: It's another woman, and she's bent over Stephanie. Sonya and Zelda are looking over. I think I've seen this woman before... BB: Hold on, she's asking for the microphone. (The light brown haired woman, dressed in a volleyball outfit, then begins to speak.) "Queen Sonya, you must be very proud of yourself for having won this, but the fact is, you only had to wrestle two matches to do it. I had some business to take care of in the NWC, WWL, and EFW, so I missed out on this opportunity. But now, I'm here, Sonya, and you can bet I'm gunning for that belt. The all around athlete has arrived, I've already tasted success elsewhere, and I'm looking for more. And the CSWWA is where I'm going to find it. Queen Sonya, prepare yourself for me, Holly Volley!" (She then leaves the ring.) BB: Holly Volley? I didn't know she was negotiating with CSWWA officials! ByB: This is definitely interesting. I know Holly has proven herself to be quite the competitor. You have to wonder what Queen Sonya thinks about this. <> Queen Sonya: "VOLLEY! You ingrate little peasant bit@#!!! You have started something you cannot finish, wench! ....If it wasn't for that idiot Black Widow still shadowing the NWC, I would come back and DESTROY YOU THERE! ...But...it is obvious it will be HERE, wench! ....NEXT WEEK! I want YOU! .....STREET FIGHT! NO REFEREES! Falls-count-ANYWHERE! YOU AND ME, BIT@#!!!!" <> ************************************************************ Greensboro Tournament Final Rocky Ford Meloneer v. "Primetime" Xavier Virile ************************************************************ BB: Fans here we go with the final match of the Greensboro Tournament with two great competitors Rocky Ford Meloneer and Xavier Virile. It will be interesting to see which man is able to win the tournament. SB: I'm begging for a repeat of the match earlier and that Xavier Virile pulls this thing out. BB: Well let's find out. Both men in the ring and getting the final words from the referee. They are set to begin now. Collar and elbow lock up, and here we go. Meloneer gets behind Virile and wraps him up around the waste.... GUTWRENCH SUPLEX brings Virile crashing down to the canvas. Virile right back to his feet... Arm Drag by Meloneer. Virile again gets up and charges and is again met by Meloneer who this time keeps him on the canvas and wraps him up in a Arm Bar. I have to say that Rocky Ford Meloneer has shown to be a remarkable technical wrestler for a man of his size and he will be a force in the CSWA after this tournament. SB: What ? Huh ? You mean he's not just a glorified jobber ? BB: See that's what happens when you listen to the talk of bitter people. SB: Who's bitter ? BB: I think you know who I"m talking about. Meloneer in the ring with that arm bar on Xavier Virile. Virile trying to get to his feet here, he's up and is backing Meloneer to the ropes... sends him for the ride... SHOULDER BLOCK By Meloneer sends Virile crashing back to the mat. Virile a little slower to his feet, but he's back up and ready to go again. SB: He's going to take a lot more punishment before he'd even consider letting Farmer Fred win this thing. BB: Well Virile is up and Meloneer grabs at him again, Side Head Lock... VIRILE lifts him right off the canvas and SUPLEXES him to the canvas. Both men a little slow to their feet and Virile lands a dropkick on Rocky Ford which sends him to the canvas again. SB: Come on, here we go, finish him off. BB: Come down Sammy, this ain't over yet. Meloneer slowly back to his feet and Virile is waiting, Spinning Heel Kick staggers Meloneer to the corner. Virile moves in and hops up on the second rope... CLOSED FISTS...ONE...TWO...THRE... FOUR... FIVE... Meloneer grabs the legs of Virile. INVERTED ATOMIC DROP. Both men fall to the ground on that one. SB: You know that's extremely nasty. IT just hurts watching it. BB: Both men starting to stir back to their feet now. Both feeling the early effects of this match, but I'm sure that they both have a lot left to give. BB: Meloneer to his feet first and he looks around to find Virile getting to his feet on the other side of the ring. Meloneer charges but Virile back body drops him right over the top rope and down to the arena floor. That had to hurt. SB: I hope so. 'Bout time someone gave that freak boy a lesson. BB: Virile now getting to his feet and shaking out the cobwebs, sees the situation of Meloneer just getting to his feet outside the ring and catapults over the top rope... FLYING CROSS BODY BLOCK to the arena floor. Both men hit pretty hard there, but Rocky Ford certainly took the brunt of that. SB: I think Virile is my new hero. BB: He hasn't won this thing yet. Virile back to his feet though and he's grabbing Meloneer... throws him back first into the ring apron. Meloneer falling foward is met by Virile who slams him again back into that ring apron. He's really working him over now. SB: No he's not. He's just trying to be a gentlemen and help his competitior back into the ring. Why do you always think of the cynical ? BB: Because it's usally true in the world of wrestling. Virile now rolling Meloneer back into the ring and he follows in after him. KNEE DROP by Virile and goes for the cover... ONE..TW-KICKOUT by Meloneer. SB: Things seem under control here right about now, so you don't mind if I go get myself a drink ? BB: You can't get served here, so just stay put. Remember there is a good chance of running into Hortense outside by the stands. SB: Sitting still. BB: Both men back to their feet, Virile grabs Meloneer... BACKBREAKER... He's really working over that back area now. Meloneer is down again, and Virile goes up to the second rope. FLYING ELBOW DROP nails Meloneer right in the small of the back. SB: Break it, the CSWA needs another cripple. BB: Meloneer holding his back in pain now, Virile is back to his feet, planning his next move. Meloneer trying to get back to his feet, he's climbing up the ropes... Virile charges and dives onto his back, sending Meloneer's throat right into that middle rope. SB: More importantly, it's more pressure on his back, that's what matters. He's wearing down that back and will hopefully finish him off quickly. BB: Well Sammy he certainly has left Rocky Ford Meloneer in a lot of pain. He drags him up to his feet... Scoops him up.. BODY SLAM. Meloneer's back in bad shape now and Xavier Virile is really looking to work it over and finish him off. SB: If there is any justice in this world, that Meloneer will not only lose but get hurt, for his vicious attack on an innocent broadcaster. BB: Meloneer trying to get back to his feet now and you can hear the fans getting behind him. One Hundred and Ten Thousand fans are cheering him on. SB: SHUT UP !!! ALL OF YOU!!! BB: Meloneer getting back to his feet, RIGHT HAND by Virile BLOCKED by Meloneer. Meloneer with a RIGHT HAND OF HIS OWN, Virile staggers... Meloneer with another big closed fist. Virile is on the ropes... Meloneer works him over with a series of lefts and rights. Whips him to the ropes... CLOTHESLINE. Virile crashes hard. Look at Meloneer getting pumped up. Virile back to his feet, kick to the midsection by Meloneer, lifts him.. PILEDRIVER. Meloneer is really on a tear here. Brings him back to his feet, ANOTHER PILEDRIVER. This could be it... we could have a new champion.. He's got him hooked... CANTALOUPE CRUSH. It's over... ONE...TWO...THREE..... That's it, Rocky Ford Meloneer has won the Greensboro Championship. SB: NO... No.... I can't believe it. BB: Here comes Commissioner AJ down to the ring to give Meloneer his new title. There seems to be some sort of delay and I don't know what it is. SB: Let it be something. BB: The Commissioner is asking for the mic. AJ: This is a double elimination tournament as you are all aware. Xavier Virile has only suffered one defeat and therefore has not been eliminated from this tournament. The match must continue till another fall is recorded. SB: YES...YES...YES... There is hope. BB: Meloneer not happy and he's getting into the face of the commissioner. You can see his point, he won the match and thinks he should be the champion. SB: But it's not fair for Xavier Virile. BB: Since when do you care about fair. SB: When it keeps Melon boy from the title. BB: Meloneer still arguing with the referee hasn't noticed Virile getting back up to his feet... He moves in... ROLL UP... ONE...TWO...THREEEEEE. I DON'T BELIEVE IT. XAVIER VIRILE HAS WON IT. HE's THE NEW CHAMPION. SB: And look at him, he's not wasting any time. Rolls right out of the ring, collects his belt and walks to the back. BB: And Rocky Ford Meloneer is left in the ring with nothing to show for it. A great performance, and a tough ending for this man. SB: Yeah yeah.. BB: Fans we'll be back with more great action in just a second. BILL BUCKLEY: Day two is nearing an end, now Sammy, it's time for the top level Championships to be defended! Eliminator, is set to defend his PRESIDENTIAL title against ATTAXX!! SAMMY BENSON: You know what ELI and the Presidential title means....POISON IVY!! Sweet mother, she's stacked! BILL BUCKLEY: It's nice to know that you judge champions by their valets.. SAMMY BENSON: You mean I'm wrong for doing so?? Just tell me Buckley, I can take the heat.. BILL BUCKLEY: I'm not saying a word... ============================================================ ATTAXX vs ELIMINATOR CSWA Presidential title BILL BUCKLEY: Eliminator in my eyes Sammy, is one of the most underrated wrestlers in our sport today! He's won various titles in many leagues, not to mention that he was close to being the longest reigning IC champion in CSWA history, and now he's making his mark as the Presidential champion! SAMMY BENSON: Add to that, POISON IVY, feathers and some nudity and you have yourself a 4 star adult movie! BILL BUCKLEY: ATTAXX and Eliminator for the PRESIDENTIAL TITLE!! Here we go! IVY and Matt Rosenthall giving their respective wrestlers some last minute instructions... SAMMY BENSON: I've got some instructions for IVY myself... BILL BUCKLEY: Let's keep them to yourself, Sammy..Both men lock up in the middle of the ring, ATTAXX lifts Eli up in the air with a chokehold! SAMMY BENSON: Correct me if I'm wrong, but that ain't legal.. BILL BUCKLEY: No it's not...ATTAXX throws Eli into the corner!! ATTAXX places his foot on Eli's throat!! He's got a definte height advantage and he's using it to his benefit! SAMMY BENSON: The man is nearly 7 foot tall, of course he's going to use his height advantage...speaking of height disadvantage whatever happened to the RED Midget? (laughs) BILL BUCKLEY: ATTAXX jabs an elbow into Eli's face! ATTAXX looks to whip Eli across the ring, but Eli reverses and sends the big man crashing up and over the turnbuckle!! SAMMY BENSON: It's IVY time!! Do your thing, you lovely little ..... BILL BUCKLEY: Hold it right here, Benson! ATTAXX took a nasty spill from the top..I'll be shocked if he didn't break anything from the fall! SAMMY BENSON: Forget about ATTAXX, here comes my woman!! BILL BUCKLEY: IVY buries her right foot into ATTAXX! Uncalled for, if you ask me! SAMMY BENSON: Nobody did! BILL BUCKLEY: Eliminator is heading through the ropes, and to the outside...meanwhile IVY plants another kick to ATTAXX'S ribcage! SAMMY BENSON: I don't think that was a smart move, here comes Rosenthall and he doesn't look too happy!! You can tell because he has that really ugly look on his face... BILL BUCKLEY: How does that differ from his usual look? SAMMY BENSON: Good point.. BILL BUCKLEY: Rosenthal grabs IVY from behind, and spins her around but she slaps the taste right out of his mouth!! OH doctor! SAMMY BENSON: She likes to play rought, I admire that... you kind of have to.. BILL BUCKLEY: Rosenthal backs away...and now IVY is chasing him around the ring...meanwhile, Eli has a chair and he's going to town on ATTAXX with it! He's not Mr.Deeds but he's going town anyway, Sammy! SAMMY BENSON: Leave the witty remarks to me, Chim Chim. BILL BUCKLEY: Eli's chair attempt is blocked this time..ATTAXX has him up in there air, and he's thrown over the top rope and into the ring! SAMMY BENSON: Good news for Rosenthal he's finally managed to get away from IVY...now only if he'd bring her my way.. BILL BUCKLEY: ATTAXX steps over the ropes, and scoops Eli up...he drops the CSWA Presidential champion face first on the turnbuckle! SAMMY BENSON: Eli's finished, bring out the druids! BILL BUCKLEY: Dear lord tell me you're kidding.... Eli gives ATTAXX a thumb to the eyes! Eli bounces off the ropes and dives into his left knee! SAMMY BENSON: Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that Zamfir master of the panfluke in the second row over there? BILL BUCKLEY: I sincerely hope not...Eli has ATTAXX flat on his back..he's got a boston crab!! Smart move by the Presidential champion, keep the big guy off his feet, and wear him down! SAMMY BENSON: I bet IVY could wear a few people... BILL BUCKLEY: Sammy!! Rosenthall is not a happy man right now...ATTAXX is being handled at the moment, and we all know how badly Matt wants more gold! SAMMY BENSON: He's got the UNIFIED WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS what more could he ask for! BILL BUCKLEY: IVY? SAMMY BENSON: I like the way you think... BILL BUCKLEY: ATTAXX finds his way to the ropes, and Pee Wee Troutman calls for Eli to break the Boston crab! BILL BUCKLEY: ATTAXX to his feet, and Eli with a vicious clothesline that sends both men up and over the top rope!! Both men are hard hitters Sammy, and we're seeing that thus far! SAMMY BENSON: Yeah..yeah let's keep our focus on IVY.. why do you think Eli still has a CS contract anyway? It's because Merritt and Thomas love to look at IVY! BILL BUCKLEY: ATTAXX is the first man to his feet...he's got Eli in a bear hug, belly to belly on the outside! Good grief! SAMMY BENSON: Watch youself Buckley this is family entertainment...let's not have anymore slip ups.. BILL BUCKLEY: ATTAXX has set out a table..ohmygoodness! Rosenthal lays Eli flat on his back, he's dead to rights on that that table! SAMMY BENSON: Dyin' ain't much of a livin, boy! BILL BUCKLEY: ATTAXX is perched on the apron...he gives Rosenthal a high five...here he comes!!! (Ivy flips Eli off the table) LOOK OUT! ATTAXX just busted the table!! SAMMY BENSON: That's the danger in doing something like that...you never know when a good looking woman might pull your opponent off the table! BILL BUCKLEY: Truer words were never spoken...Eli's got Rosenthal!!! Matt is thrown in the ring!! Eli is in, he's one on one with Rosenthall!! SAMMY BENSON: Now what's the point of this!! If anyone is going to go one-on-one it's going to be me and IVY! BILL BUCKLEY: Eli has Matt by the collar!!! Uh-oh, from behind ATTAXX drives his foot in the champ's head! Look at Matt run for his life! SAMMY BENSON: He has every right to, he was unjustly thrown into the ring! BILL BUCKLEY: ATTAXX puts his hand around Eli's throat..we're about to see a chokeslam, Sammy, you can bet on it! SAMMY BENSON: Gee, that's quite a limb you went out on there. BILL BUCKLEY: ATTAXX lifts Eli up, but Eli nails him in the groin before he was all the way up!! Eli belly to belly suplex, on a man that's 7 foot tall!!! SAMMY BENSON: Holy Gook BILL BUCKLEY: FISH FUND PARK/ARENA is going wild!! Eli hooks the legs, he's got his finisher the ELIMINATOR!! ATTAXX is in a world of trouble!! SAMMY BENSON: Say goodnight son, because no one gets out of the ELIMINATOR! BILL BUCKLEY: Rosenthall just hit the ring, and he's all over ELI!!! Troutman calls for the bell, Eli is going to win by DQ! SAMMY BENSON: That a boy, Matt! BILL BUCKLEY: IVY hits the ring, and she's tearing into Rosenthall, Eli hooks the ELIMINATOR again! We're going to need some help out here, to break this thing up! BB: Well, I've just received word that at the CSWA's next card, the Presidential Championship will once again be on the line in a rematch between the Eliminator and ATTAXX. SB: You mean I have to sit through that again? BB: No, by then hopefully I'll have a real co-host. SB: Hey! What are you talking about? What have you heard? BB: Nothing, unfortunately....just the dying dream of an old man. SB: That's what I thought. BB: The Unified Tag Team Championships are on the line in this one. Japanese Assault successfully defended the titles against Troy Windham last night, in a match that unified the Unified and EN World Tag Titles. SB: Ya know, Buckley, I heard that Shawn Matthews tagged up with some fat guy, won some tag titles, then dropped the fat guy and got a new partner to team with. BB: Sounds like he's got a problem with keeping a partner. SB: Yeah, personalities keep conflicting....his. BB: The Japanese Assault will be coming down to ringside with their manager, Matt Rosenthal, in just a moment. But coming down now are the opponents, here come Grim Reaper and Theodore N Titus, POWER UNLIMITED! SB: What a weird combination. Both these guys are huge....but one of them looks like he belongs in a morgue. BB: TNT and Grim Reaper were able to defeat Japanese Assault in a non-title match just a few weeks ago in Key West. After their brawl last night, we were told that Commissioner AJ went ahead and signed these two to face. Something about Japanese Assault ducking the competition... SB: Rosenthal should sue! BB: Also, due to Xavier Virile and Scottie Vai still being alive in the Greensboro Tournament, it didn't seem fair to make them pull double duty....so their singles matches against the members of Power Unlimited have been rescheduled. SB: I'm telling you, it's some sort of conspiracy against Rosenthal. BB: Rhubarb Jones is announcing the Unified Tag Team Champs to the crowd, and they're just about down to ringside. But before they can get down there, TNT knocks both men down with a double clothesline! And Grim Reaper isn't far behind. Power Unlimited is ready, willing, and able to take it to the champs! Kamikaze Kid and Shogun Shotgun have been Pearl Harbored by the contenders. SB: I'm not sure, but that's gotta be some kind of racial epithet. BB: Gimme a break. SB: I'm not Nell Carter. BB: TNT has the Kid by the throat, and he's repeatedly knocking him into the fan barricade. Referee Patrick Young has come outside, and he's trying to get at least two of the men in the ring. Grim Reaper throws Shogun inside, and Young calls for the bell. This one's already out of control. SB: No, Young just doesn't know how to command respect. Maybe I should give him a few pointers. BB: That'd be something to see. Inside the ring, Grim Reaper just clotheslined the Shotgun Shogun, and now he drops him with a tombstone piledriver. There's the early cover. ONE...........no, Shogun is able to kick out! Reaper drops an elbow, and now he hooks in a reverse chinlock. TNT just climbed up onto the apron, leaving the Kamikaze Kid lying up against the metal barricade outside. Rosenthal is trying to get his smaller man up and ready for action. SB: The kid just got folded like a pancake, he might not make it into this match. BB: Inside, Grim Reaper just tagged in TNT, who explodes all over Shogun, peppering him with a series of closed-hand punches. SB: Ya know, that was truly awful. BB: What? SB: That stupid pun. "TNT explodes all over." Come on, Buckley, you can do better than that. BB: Inside the ring, Shogun gets whipped into the ropes by TNT, but he's able to hold on, and TNT's dropkick hits nothing but air! Shogun dives for his corner, but no one's home! Rosenthal is still down on the floor trying to tend to Kamikaze Kid, who is still short of breath down there. TNT is on his feet, and he rushes into the corner with a big knee to the chest of Shotgun Shogun. SB: Power Unlimited did the smart thing to start this one off...divide and conquer. BB: TNT pulls Shogun up, and now he whips him across into the corner, where his teammate, Grim Reaper, is there to hold Shogun in place. TNT comes across and NAILS Shogun with an elbow. TNT tags in Grim Reaper. It may only be a matter of time before we have new Unified Tag Champs, Sammy. Whoa, whoa, wait a second, what's going on here. We've got about three men making their way down the aisle. SB: Wait a second, what are THEY doing here? BB: Inside the ring, Reaper pulls Shotgun Shogun out and drops him with a DDT! He goes for the cover. ONE.............TWO......no! Reaper pulls Shogun up and sends him into the ropes one more time. NO, Shotgun Shogun with a flying crossbody! Grim Reaper pushes him off like a ragdoll, but it allows Shogun to get to his corner, where Kamikaze Kid has finally joined in the action! SB: Something bad is about to happen. BB: There's the tag by the Unified Tag Team Champions! Kamikaze Kid is in, and he catches Grim Reaper with a spinwheel kick. The Kid follows with a leg drop, and he quickly goes up top! He's gonna try something from the top! TOP ROPE HURRICANRANA! NOOOO! Grim Reaper caught him and flattens him with a POWERBOMB! The cover! ONE.............TWO..............THREE!!!! WE HAVE NEW UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS! SB: Where did those three men go? BB: Grim Reaper and TNT have won the belts! Matthew Rosenthal is furious! The referee is coming in to award the titles to Power Unlimited. The REFEREE JUST NAILED REAPER WITH THE BELT! SB: That's no referee!!!! BB: Another man just dove in the ring, and he clips the knee of TNT! Wait a minute! That's WILDSTAR! SB: And don't forget TSUNAMI! BB: They've been gone from the CSWA for months, what are they doing??? The former tag team champs are in the ring, and they're brutally beating up the two men who just won the Unified Tag Titles. Rosenthal has helped Shotgun Shogun pull the Kamikaze Kid out of the ring, and those three are getting out of here. Hold on, what's going on here? What are you doing? That's not your microphone. "Hardcore" Jimmy V: You listen up Buckley. Look in that ring. That match you just saw was a debacle. Japanese Assault thinks they're the best tag team ever from the Far East? I think not. You see those two men in there? For the last year, they've been training....they've taken every title Japan had to offer, and now they've come back home. So take a look at the so-called Unified Tag Team Champions, because they're first on our list. This the Dawn of a New Day, and don't you forget it.(throws down headset and leaves) SB: I like his style. BB: You would. Fans, we had seen those mysterious promos just prior to FISH FUND XI, and apparently, they were for the return of Jimmy V and his tag team, Tsunami and Wildstar. This is disgraceful...they just threw the tag team belts on top of Grim Reaper and TNT, and left the ring. We're gonna have to get some medical attention for those two. TNT is already up off the mat and checking on his partner....we'll be back with more action in just a moment. BILL BUCKLEY: What a battle for the UNIFIED TAG TEAM TITLES!! But DAWN OF A NEW DAY? If they were looking to get some attention they certainly found it! SAMMY BENSON: You've got a love a team that goes out there, and makes things happen rather than waiting for them to happen! BILL BUCKLEY: I suppose...right now, however, the world is ready to see the ENTERPRISE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE defended, as Anarky makes his second title defense in as many days! SAMMY BENSON: After defeating GUNS and Windham last night, he's got a little bit of an easier time...Heartbreaker?! It still amazes me to this day that he somehow got a shot at the EN title! BILL BUCKLEY: The loser of this match will have to leave the CSWA for ONE month! That's 4 weeks for those of you scoring at home. SAMMY BENSON: It's too bad they both can't leave the CSWA for a month...wouldn't that be a treat! BILL BUCKLEY: Heartbreaker really wants this title, so much so that as we've said he's willing to leave the CSWA for a month! ============================================================ Anarky vs Heartbreaker ENTERPRISE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE BILL BUCKLEY: Anarky hands the EN title over to Thomas Gunn, and the battle for THE World title is underway! Collar and elbow tie up in the middle of the ring! SAMMY BENSON: Is it over yet? BILL BUCKLEY: Heartbreaker with a hip toss, another... Anarky rushes in, superkick!!! We could have a new champion right here! ONE....TWO..NO!! SAMMY BENSON: That kickout just saved the league, I kid you not. BILL BUCKLEY: Heartbreaker stays on top of things, he's got a camel clutch hooked in! Anarky, hasn't started this match, the way he would like I"m sure. SAMMY BENSON: After facing Mark Windham and GUNS at once, and then coming back the next night...of course he's not going to be %100! That's a no brainer Bill.. BILL BUCKLEY: Anarky..manges to get to his knees...doing his best to break out of the camel clutch! Heartbreaker applying more and more pressure doing everything he can, do keep Anarky down! SAMMY BENSON: Try biting....usually works for me! BILL BUCKLEY: Anarky, to his feet... he falls backward and Heartbreaker is crushed up against the turnbuckle! Smart move to get out of that hold! SAMMY BENSON: Very smart, now hit him with some brass knuckles and let's all go home! BILL BUCKLEY: Anarky, is on the middle rope, whaling away at Heartbreaker!! BILL BUCKLEY: Anarky still pounding away at Heartbreaker, but now HB hooks the legs...inverted atomic drop, but Anarky blocks it...clothesline!! SAMMY BENSON: Obviously you have things under control here, I'm headed out to get a drink... BILL BUCKLEY: You're not going anywhere, Benson! Park it! SAMMY BENSON: Must you always be such a drag... BILL BUCKLEY: Anarky scoops up Heartbreaker, belly to back suplex! Now a quick pin, ONE... and that's all he gets! Sometimes you just might surprise your opponent with a quick pin like that, Sammy! SAMMY BENSON: I'm sorry, I'm protesting the rest of the match until I get a drink! BILL BUCKLEY: Anarky whips Anarky into the ropes, side slam! He really drove Heartbreaker's body into the mat! Thomas Gunn is all smiles on the outside...as Anarky has this match in control! SAMMY BENSON: How can you tell if Gunn is smiling or not? BILL BUCKLEY: I was just guessing, really. Anarky, picks up both legs...and he drops a leg right into the challenger's groin! SAMMY BENSON: That should be an automatic $500 fine! BILL BUCKLEY: Heartbreaker struggles to his knees, grabs Anarky's tights and flings him through the ropes and crashing onto the floor! SAMMY BENSON: There you go kid...nice move! It doesn't mean you're not going to leave for 30 days, but nice move! BILL BUCKLEY: Heartbreaker runs across the ring, bounces off the ropes, and dives through the middle rope, and onto Anarky on the outside!! What a move! SAMMY BENSON: Follow it up kid, go find yourself a lead pipe or something and beat the champ senseless! BILL BUCKLEY: Heartbreaker, has s chair...what's he going to do with that? SAMMY BENSON: Nothing you'll ever see on This Old House.. BILL BUCKLEY: Heartbreaker sets the chair up...gets a running start, leaps off the chair and tries to do a Frank'n'Parsons on Anarky!! SAMMY BENSON: Hold it right there, punk. BILL BUCKLEY: Anarky catches him in mid air, powerbomb!! He was so close to following through with that move, Sammy, but at the last second Anarky scooped him up and drove him through the cement floor! SAMMY BENSON: Come on folks, let's all count to 30, 1...2.. BILL BUCKLEY: Anarky rolls Heartbreaker back in the ring, worse for wear, certainly! SAMMY BENSON: 3...4....5... BILL BUCKLEY: Anarky, hooks the arm back and now he's applied an Ad.stretch! Anarky reeling back, stretching Heartbreaker out like a cheap condom. SAMMY BENSON: I'm not going to ask... BILL BUCKLEY: Heartbreaker reaches back and tosses Anarky over his hip...he didn't have that move sinched in too well, and Heartbreaker too advantage of it! SAMMY BENSON: For his sake I hope he has a loaded boot or something...I've just got a feeling he's not going to win otherwise. BILL BUCKLEY: Heartbreaker suplexes Anarky, and drops him on top of the top rope! Look at that move!! The Heartbreaker trying to seize the moment, runs across the ring, and charges in at Anarky... SAMMY BENSON: 4 weeks, aye... BILL BUCKLEY: Anarky slings himself over the top rope and clotheslines Heartbreaker! He saw that one coming from a mile away! SAMMY BENSON: And it's one...two...three...four weeks you're out, at the old ballgame!! BILL BUCKLEY: Anarky powers Heartbreaker up, Shoulderbreaker!! He's got it in gear now, Sammy, he knows the end is near! SAMMY BENSON: Pack your bags, kid... BILL BUCKLEY: Anarky to the top rope...Heartbreaker to his feet...a little dazed, but he turns and Anarky catches him with a dropkick off the top rope! SAMMY BENSON: Run the best of Heartbreaker clips, boys, cause he's on his way out.. BILL BUCKLEY: Anarky, signals to his fans...everyone on their feet...they sense it as well! Anarky hooks the arms, DOUBLE ARM POWERBOMB! That's the move he won the title from Mark Windham with, and... SAMMY BENSON: It's the one he just used to put on Heartbreaker! BILL BUCKLEY: The cover, ONE....TWO.....THREE!!! Anarky retains the ENTERPRISE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP and forces Heartbreaker out of the CSWA for a month! SAMMY BENSON: Good riddance! BILL BUCKLEY: Thomas Gunn, staps the belt around Anarky's waist... (someone runs down the aisle) Wait a minute!! Someone just hit the ring...with a lead pipe!! Sammy, that's MARK WINDSOR!! SAMMY BENSON: This is getting interesting!!! BILL BUCKLEY: Windsor nails Gunn, and now Anarky!! He's laid both men out...Windsor picks up Anarky, DDT!!! Good Grief! SAMMY BENSON: Come on Windsor pop Heartbroken as well!! BILL BUCKLEY: Mark Windsor has hit the ring, all he's causing major damage! Anarky won the match, but Windsor is making him pay for it now! SAMMY BENSON: It's about time somebody taught Anarky a lesson! I like this guy already! BILL BUCKLEY: Windsor tosses Heartbreaker up and over the top rope!! Gunn, gets the same treatment, it's just Windsor and Anakry in the ring, one on one! Windsor has that lead pipe in his hand, and he's making a dent in Anarky's knee!! Sammy, that's the same knee that Anarky hurt a couple months ago, in his match with Billy Starr! SAMMY BENSON: That lame knee has been nothing but an excuse...he's as healty as an ox..well, maybe not now! (laughs) BILL BUCKLEY: Windsor takes off the EN World belt, lays it out, picks up Anarky...TOMBSTONE PILEDRIVER right on the EN belt!! This is terrible! SAMMY BENSON: You're telling me, Anarky is still breathing that's bad enough right there..look at this Buckley, Windsor is calling for the house mic... MARK WINDSOR: Anarky? Anarky? Are you okay? Can we get some 'guys' to have this little piece of s--t in the ring cleaned up? Thanks. So.....THIS is the....'great' Anarky? Layed out in the middle of the ring after a GRUELING match with HEARTBREAKER. Sense the sarcasm, there? God. The closest thing we have to a Unified Champion, right now..the number one contender, Anarky...is here...competing with guys like Heartbreaker? When you're in a position that Anarky's in...champion of multiple leagues..you shouldn't be COMPETING with scrubs like Heartbreaker. You should be ripping their g-ddamned heart right out of their chests and eating 'em for breakfast. I'm confused about something else, though..how the HELL did Anarky, of all people, become such a 'superstar' in this sport, seemingly overnight? This is a guy that doesn't have what it takes to beat Joe Massacre in the NWC! This is the guy that doesn't have what it takes to beat "Unstoppable" Damon Payne without help in the ASWF! This is also the same guy that couldn't even win the FWC Southern Title, in what was a tournament of jobbers and unknowns. And if all that isn't proof enough that this little man knocked out in the middle of the ring is the most overrated piece of no-talent trash to hit the sport..then just take a good, close look at him right now. On his back, his eyes closed..no movement whatsoever. His only chances of getting out of this ring, today anyway, is by stretcher or some other form of aided transportation. Anarky, before I let you go...I want you to think way back to when I was a little leaguer, about to hit it big...and I offered an alliance with you. You said you needed to think about it...well, go ahead....THINK about it (Windsor throws the mic down on Anarky, and walks out of the ring) BILL BUCKLEY: This crowd is giving Windsor a piece of their mind, they don't like what he's done here!! We're going to need some medical attention for Anarky!! SAMMY BENSON: And somebody get a hanky for Heartbreaker, see ya in a month, kid! (laughs) BILL BUCKLEY: Our triple MAIN EVENT starts next, but it might be a while..Anarky is hurt!! BILL BUCKLEY: Finally, Anarky was attended to, and helped out of the ring, we can only hope he's going to be ok! Sammy, its' been two days, and nearly 500 matches but the grand daddy of'em all is coming to a close! The first of our triple main event is upon us! SAMMY BENSON: I'm counting the minutes until I get out of this freakin' park. I can't take anymore toteboard updates, or animiltronic bears, or....the LOVE SISTERS! I just want to....go home...that's all I ask.. BILL BUCKLEY: Come on, Sammy admit it...you loved the bears! Who couldn't! SAMMY BENSON: Buckley, it's been a LONG day... BILL BUCKLEY: "Our way, yes our way..makin' our dreams come true.." SAMMY BENSON: Gawd your sick.. BILL BUCKLEY: Sammy, no more bears I promise (winks into camera). What I can promise is that we're about to see one heck of a war! "Mr.Magnificent" Tom Adler defends his USN Title against "The Living Legend" Mark Windham! In a steel cage, no less! Wars are a part of the world's history, and well I've got a feeling we're going to see some history tonight! SAMMY BENSON: No doubt about it, (handing his empty wine glass to a nearby fan) Thanks honey I'm a little dry...Tom Adler and Mark Windham are two of the greatest our sport has even seen...and in just a few minutes they're about to hook'em it up! BILL BUCKLEY: If you've been following the CSWA for the past year, *laughs* who hasn't, you know that Adler has and Windham have been at odds... SAMMY BENSON: Odds? Let's not cut corners, Buckley, they've been at each other's throats! BILL BUCKLEY: Thanks, I just couldn't find the words.. SAMMY BENSON: You don't have to say it, I know... and by the way, you're welcome.. BILL BUCKLEY: I don't wanna spend in more time, going through history, as the cage is being lowered! Bottom line, is right here right now, Tom Adler and Mark Windham will meet in that squared circle for pride, revenge, and glory! SAMMY BENSON: Add to that, a couple of months ago it was Adler who spray painted the word, "Piss" over the USN Belt! A belt that Windham helped make for 8 years! Pride, Revenge, and glory? You bet your sweet a**! BILL BUCKLEY: The cage is in place, we're merely seconds away from the biggest war, maybe the CSWA's ever seen!! SAMMY BENSON: I don't know, Buckley, we've seen a lot! DEAR LORD IS THAT A MIDGET!! Oh...it's just Paul Miller... BILL BUCKLEY: Sammy that was wrong, although I can see how the mistake could be made.. SAMMY BENSON: You're forgiven.. BILL BUCKLEY: The battle for the USN Heavyweight title is finally here, let's get up to Rhubarb Jones for the introductions!! SAMMY BENSON: That suit makes Rhubarb look a little fat.. BILL BUCKLEY: No Sammy, that's just his face... (lights go out, fireworks and Laser show begins) (Jesus Christ Superstar plays) (mixed reaction) Rhubarb Jones: Ladies and Gentlemen, our first of THREE MAIN EVENTS!! For the UNITED STATES NATIONAL HEAVYWEIGHT, one fall, 60 minute time limit, inside of a steel cage!! Introducing first, from Pittsburg, Pennsylvania he stands at 6'5" weighs 257 lbs, he is the current USN champion, "Mr.Magnificent" Tom Adler! BILL BUCKLEY: Whether this impartial crowd loves him or hates him, they respect him, they know that he's one of the best! SAMMY BENSON: Make no mistake about that, but this match may be the measuring stick of which the future of our sport is measured! (fireworks and lasers start up again) (Hello by Poe plays) Rhubarb Jones: His opponent (fans roar) 6'5, 264 lbs, from SWEETWATER, TEXAS...YOUR HOMETOWN HERO, "THHHHHHHHHHHHHHE LIIIIIIIIIIIIIVING LEGGGGGGGGGEND" Mark Stonewall Jackson Windham!! BILL BUCKLEY: Listen to this crowd, they love him!! SAMMY BENSON: Windham is no saint, but here in Sweetwater, these people love him for what he is, a hometown boy! I don't care for the guy, but Adler wants to hold onto that belt, he's got to do something nobody else has been able to do, and that's beat Mark Windham in Sweetwater, at FISH FUND! BILL BUCKLEY: In the immortal words of Bill Watts, "LET'S HOOK'EM UP!" SAMMY BENSON: Oh dear BILL BUCKLEY: Windham, walks through the cage door, look at Adler Sammy, he's hungry! SAMMY BENSON: It's always hard for a wrestler to figure out when to eat before a big match.. BILL BUCKLEY: That's not what I meant...Windham calls for the house mic... MARK WINDHAM: Adler, *laughs* you have no idea how long I've waited for this moment..Once opon a time FISH FUND XI was named HOOK, LINE, and SINKER...believe me that fits best right here. You see, for years...I've been trying to get you one on one, but yet you either were retired, or 'weren't interested'. For the past month, you've told the world you could be found "Where the Real Men Wrestle", Tommy, it's time for us to find out your definition of a REAL MAN. You see, the limo ride, everything I've done lately has been to get you inside this cage, at FISH FUND! Finally, Tommy, is you and me, the Alpha and Omega of Professional Wresting...tonight is the END OF AN ERA, Adler. It's the end of your stinkin' career... (Adler rushes Windham, and tackles him into the turnbuckle) BILL BUCKLEY: HERE WE GO!! Adler is whaling away on Windham, driving his shoulder repeatedly in Mark's gut! SAMMY BENSON: Shrimply put, it's GO TIME!! BILL BUCKLEY: Adler sends Windham across the ring, and firing into the turnbuckle! "Mr.Magnificent" has the mic, he jams it into Windham's head!! SAMMY BENSON: HOW MUCH TIME IS LEFT!! Just kidding.. BILL BUCKLEY: Adler... TOM ADLER: Did you ever stop to think, Windham..that just maybe you weren't the one being worked...you see I've been known to fish from time to time myself.. BILL BUCKLEY: What in the world?? SAMMY BENSON: I think it's safe to say the talking is over, but the mic is still in play... on Windham's head that is! BILL BUCKLEY: Adler throws the mic out of the ring, after beating Windham senseless with it...Adler vertical suplex! Quick cover, ONE....TWO...NO! SAMMY BENSON: It's going to take more than that to win this match...where's that freakin' taser?? BILL BUCKLEY: Adler helps Windham up, slings him to the ropes, clothesline!! But, Windham ducks...bounces off the ropes and rocks him with a Lariat! NEW CHAMPION, ONE...TWO..NO!! SAMMY BENSON: 55 minutes, 55 minutes remain! BILL BUCKLEY: Mark is pumped up thanks to this crowd, of well over 100,000 people! Windham inverted atomic drop! SAMMY BENSON: I'm not sure if Tom is a ladies man, but if he is that's going to put a damper on his weekend plans.. BILL BUCKLEY: Windham with a short right..he's got the USN champion in the corner....this is brutal! Just brutal! Mark fires Adler's head into the turnbuckle, (fans chant) ONE... TWO...THREE...FOUR...FIVE... SAMMY BENSON: EWWWW..cheap shot by Adler, I like it.. BILL BUCKLEY: The champion, planted a mule kick in Windham's groin...go ahead Sammy, say it... SAMMY BENSON: It's safe to say, Thelma Windham won't be getting a baby sister or brother nine months from tonight.. BILL BUCKLEY: Adler has Mark by the hair, and he sends him head first into the steel cage! This is a cage match, Sammy, it not only provides privacy, but it doubles as a weapon as well.. SAMMY BENSON: You should be on PBS.. BILL BUCKLEY: Adler standing dropick! He's not only brawling a bit, but he's showing us some of those classic Adler moves.. SAMMY BENSON: He's got a game plan Buckley..you don't get a Masters in business when your 14, by being a dummy.. BILL BUCKLEY: Adler hooks in the figure 4!! Windham is in trouble! BILL BUCKLEY: Windham screams out in pain, he's got no place to go, Sammy....Adler has it hooked in the middle of the ring! SAMMY BENSON: Maybe he'll use these morons for support or something... BILL BUCKLEY: This crowd, is chanting his name! They want their hometown boy to fight back! Windham is flat on this back, Worthington with the cover, ONE...TWO...NO!! SAMMY BENSON: Maybe he should have brough Juarez back for this one..(laughs) BILL BUCKLEY: Apparently, according to my sources Manuel is starring in a Spanish soap and can't get out of his contract.. SAMMY BENSON: Sweet mother... BILL BUCKLEY: Windham again, falls flat on this back...ONE... TWO...NO!! He's up! In serious pain, but he's up! Windham has never submitted...not once! Not too many people can say that, Sammy! SAMMY BENSON: I don't care if he has or not, he's close to right now! For gawd's sake he's turning ghost white! BILL BUCKLEY: Mark is down, ONE...TWO...TH-NO! Windham refuses to give....He's got Adler's right leg...he's trying to pull the figure four apart!! SAMMY BENSON: I wish he'd break out of the freakin hold just to shut these people up.. BILL BUCKLEY: Maxwell Diamond, jams his cane into Windham's head! Mark is out, ONE...TWO...NO!!! Diamond, stuck his cane through the cage...and tried to take Windham's head off! SAMMY BENSON: Last night wasn't a great night, for Diamond, nearly crippled and then burnt! Not something you want to write home about! BILL BUCKLEY: Certainly not...to this point, I'm not sure Windham wants to write anything about this match...Windham in one final attempt in desperation, turns on his side, he's trying to reverse the figure 4!! SAMMY BENSON: This is touching... BILL BUCKLEY: What? The fans cheering for Windham? SAMMY BENSON: No, that dear woman finally brough me my drink... Thanks baby doll. BILL BUCKLEY: Adler is fighting Windham every step of the way, he wants to end it with this hold!! And if Windham doesn't break it here, he may very well do just that! SAMMY BENSON:(to fan) Not to be bossy, toots, but I could really go for some nachos right about now... BILL BUCKLEY: Windham fighting....to turn this over...Diamond jams the cane through the cage again, but this time Windham grabs it... SAMMY BENSON: Oh dear the Eagle is about to land... BILL BUCKLEY: Windham just popped Adler with the cane, and HE'S REVERSED THE FIGURE FOUR!! Listen to this place, this is what they mean by Homecourt advantage!! SAMMY BENSON: Who's they? BILL BUCKLEY: Don't..just don't.. SAMMY BENSON: What?? BILL BUCKLEY: Adler is now in noman's land..he's getting a taste of his own medicine! Windham is in serious pain, but he's got the upper hand right now! SAMMY BENSON: I don't think someone who's been in the figure 4 for 7 minutes has a hand good or bad in anything! BILL BUCKLEY: Adler...makes his way to the ropes...and Worthington calls for the break...but Windham won't give it!! SAMMY BENSON: That's a DQ! The man has to break! FISH FUND OR NOT, he's gotta play by the rules! Then again the man has been ruled mentally unstable... BILL BUCKLEY: Worthington removes the leg lock..himself! Windham has the ropes..he's managed to pull himself up! Adler rushes over, but he's greeted with a closed fist! SAMMY BENSON: closed fist? Do I have to ref these matches myself?!! BILL BUCKLEY: Given your history of being paid off... SAMMY BENSON: What? That just makes me more qualified! (laughs) BILL BUCKLEY: Windham hopping around on one leg, fires Adler head first into the cage!! Off the rebound Adler meets the other side of the cage!! Windham is running him from side to side! SAMMY BENSON: And let's not forget the cage is not just for privacy it can be used as a weapon as well... BILL BUCKLEY: Stick it.. SAMMY BENSON: Bear it... BILL BUCKLEY: Windham gets Adler off the rebound, Implant DDT!! Everyone's on their feet, we've got a new champion I know it!! ONE......TWO....TH-NO!! Adler got a shoulder up! What a match, Sammy! SAMMY BENSON: No thanks I don't need a light right now.. BILL BUCKLEY: Windham again manages to pull himself up..he's doing his best to walk this off... BILL BUCKLEY: Windham trying to shake off the obvious pain in his leg..has Adler set up, Piledriver!! He prefers doing it outside on the cement floor, but that was devasting none the less! SAMMY BENSON: You trying to see this match is over?? BILL BUCKLEY: By no means.. SAMMY BENSON: Just remember, Buckley, you don't get to be an Untouchable by giving up at the slightest sign of trouble! He's been through some of the best wars our sport has ever seen...so don't count him out! BILL BUCKLEY: I didn't say anything Sammy.... Windham climbing to the top rope...as Adler slowly gets up. Windham off the top with a bulldog, but Adler pushes him off, and Windham slides across the ring! SAMMY BENSON: SAFE!!!! (laughs) BILL BUCKLEY: Adler drops to his knees, and looks over at Diamond...as Maxwell says something to him! This match has already had more comebacks that one of the Bateman twins. SAMMY BENSON: Lay off of the Batemans...Justine is hot! BILL BUCKLEY: Adler, buries his knee into Windham's thigh stopping Mark from making it up! Adler, hooks Stonewall's arms...Butterfly suplex! The USN champion scoots over, for the pinfall, ONE.....TWO..NO! Again, Windham shows fight by kicking out. SAMMY BENSON: Fight or stupidity? That's a fine line...one that Windham seems to cross all the time. BILL BUCKLEY: Adler pulls back a little bit, and takes a deep breath..both men have started to bleed...we predicted a WAR Sammy, and we've got one! SAMMY BENSON: Forget about that, where the heck are my Nachos she's been gone for a half hour! BILL BUCKLEY: Adler helps Windham up....he falls back against the rope, and dropkicks Windham's knees! OhMY! Adler, like him or not, he's a surgeon in there! SAMMY BENSON: That was nice...To say Tom has turned it up a notch would be an understatement! BILL BUCKLEY: Windham fights his way back up, but he's dropped with a Swinging neckbreaker! Again, a cover, ONE....TWO....NO!! Rhubarb Jones: 30 MINUTES REMAIN, 30 MINUTES! BILL BUCKLEY: Adler, shouts something to the crowd, and he sets up for another Figure four!!! Windham rolls Adler up in a small package, ONE....TWO...and that's all! Adler storms up and pounds Windham with several blows to the head! SAMMY BENSON: He seems ticked... BILL BUCKLEY: Adler seems to be getting anixous to finish this one off...Butterfly Powerbomb!!! SAMMY BENSON: That's gonna leave a mark.. BILL BUCKLEY: Adler has thrown everything but the kitchen sink at Windham....he's climbing to the top rope! He's not an aerial techn., but he's looking for any way to end it! SAMMY BENSON: Don't make it sound like the man, hasn't been up there before..for gawd's sake.. BILL BUCKLEY: Adler on the rope rope...no on the top of the CAGE!! Windham, half way to his feet, leaps and smashes the cage! Adler loses balance and racks himself!! SAMMY BENSON: Can I? BILL BUCKLEY: By all means.. SAMMY BENSON: There go his plans for next week... BILL BUCKLEY: FISH FUND Park is rockin, as Windham starts to climb up the cage!! He's been beaten, but he's got enough heart left in him to fight his way up that cage! SAMMY BENSON: If Windham has a heart it turned blacked years ago... BILL BUCKLEY: Mark has made his way to the top of the cage!! Adler is still stunned...Windham pulls Adler up, both men standing on the top of the cage...Windham hooks the arm...SUPERPLEX FROM THE TOP OF THE CAGE! (fans roar) Good Gracious! SAMMY BENSON: That's gotta hurt.. BILL BUCKLEY: Windham is out as is Adler, but Mark crawls over...and slings an arm over Adler...we're gonna have a new USN Champion!! SAMMY BENSON: I hope so, this thing has gone on longer than Ken Burns Documentary! BILL BUCKLEY: Worthington with the count, ONE.......TWO.....THR-NO!! I don't believe it! Adler managed to put his right leg on the bottom rope! SAMMY BENSON: I'm convinced this match will never end! BILL BUCKLEY: You might be right Sammy, both men want this win so badly! If not for the USN title, then for pride! Windham...pulls Adler to his feet...he might be going for the Torture Rack!!! SAMMY BENSON: If he gets it, it's over! BILL BUCKLEY: Windham throws the arm over, HE'S GOT ADLER UP!! (Fans go crazy) Windham has won the US title several times with this move, he's betting on adding another USN title by it, too! SAMMY BENSON: Diamond looks worried, come on Maxwell this is where you get in there and cheat! Do your job for crying out loud! BILL BUCKLEY: Windham still applying pressure, but Adler won't give...he might be out cold, but he's not saying the words, "I Quit!" BILL BUCKLEY: Windham finally drops to one knee...his legs just couldn't take it anymore! He's been worn down throughout the match! SAMMY BENSON: Cry me a river, Buckley...he just wasn't man enough to finish the job! BILL BUCKLEY: Adler is out cold...by the ropes....Windham on the other side of the ring, trying to pull himself up! SAMMY BENSON: Wait a minute, Buckley, I think Diamond just slipped Adler something through the cage!! That a boy, Diamond!! (laughs) I love it.. BILL BUCKLEY: Adler manages to get up....you're right Sammy, he's got something in his hand!! Windham is walking right into it!!! Adler fires a left hand, but Mark ducks..IMPLANT DDT!! (fans go nuts) SAMMY BENSON: Ohdearmother of Gook... BILL BUCKLEY: Windham signals to the crowd....Sammy this could be it, he's setting up for the SHARPSHOOTER!! Adler has taken a lot of punishment tonight, but there's just noway he can get out of this!! SAMMY BENSON: End it for gawd's sake, Mark! BILL BUCKLEY: Windham looks at the crowd, remember he's NEVER lost at FISH FUND!! There's the Sharpshooter!!! He's hooked it in!! SAMMY BENSON: Goodnight, lock the door the party is over! We've got a new champion! BILL BUCKLEY: Tom Adler, a bloody mess, the man whose parents where killed by a drunk driver when he was only 6, has fought his heart out tonight...as he's done throughout his entire life!! But, he just can't abstain this kind of punishment!! He can't!! SAMMY BENSON: Windham may not have been kidding when he said, he was going to end Adler's career!! BILL BUCKLEY: Windham, dripping with blood, he's got to be hoping to hear the words, "I Quit" soon! He couldn't finish it with the Torture rack, he's got to finish it now. SAMMY BENSON: I'm beginning to think I'm not ever getting my Nachos.. BILL BUCKLEY: Windham releases the hold???!! Mark heads to the top rope, Sammy this has to be out of desperation! SAMMY BENSON: Over the past few minutes, both men have gotten a little jumpy...they've been doing everything they can to finish it... BILL BUCKLEY: Maybe a mistake by Windham, to give up on the Sharpshooter.. SAMMY BENSON: Of course it was a mistake...as Adler did early, he should ridden the Sharpshooter into the ground, forced Adler to break it....it was a mistake, one that may cost him. BILL BUCKLEY: Windham climbing the turnbuckle...he's going to try a reverse moonsault!!! SAMMY BENSON: No you idiot...he's trying to climb all the way up the cage...I'll be da*ned if he's thinking about a top of the cage splash.. BILL BUCKLEY: Adler to his feet, and he gives Mark a shot to the groin!! Adler....is on the middle rope, what's he doing!!?? SAMMY BENSON: Bar the door, Katie! BILL BUCKLEY: Adler, hooks Windham's arms...TOP ROPE RAZOR'S EDGE..and he nailed it!!! Windham isn't moving... SAMMY BENSON: Sharpshooter, Windham...Sharpshooter! BILL BUCKLEY: Adler, with a cover, ONE.....TWO......THREE!! OHMYGOODNESS!!! TOM ADLER HAS BEATEN MARK WINDHAM!! SAMMY BENSON: I'm stunned... BILL BUCKLEY: IT'S OVER?! ADLER HAS WON THE MATCH!! Listen to this crowd Sammy, you can hear a pin drop! Adler retains the USN title...Sammy, I'm stunned...Windham has been beaten at FISH FUND! SAMMY BENSON: He said it would be the End of an Era, you know it would be his at FISH FUND! (The <>Cutters, Nathan Storm, and the UnTouchables run down to ringside and into the cage) BILL BUCKLEY: WHAT'S GOIN ON!! The <>X-Change has hit the ring, Enderson and Planchard are all over Windham!! This is uncalled for! SAMMY BENSON: It appears the first causualty in this war, is going to be the "Living Legend". BILL BUCKLEY: Diamond and Adler are loving this! They've got a chair....the <>Cutters hold Windham, as Palmer nails him over the head! Windham is already a bloody mess! SAMMY BENSON: You might say, the <>X-change are showing Windham how to finish the job! BILL BUCKLEY: They're just stomping away...beating Windham into the mat!! The cage is being raised...we need some help down here! SAMMY BENSON: Seems to be the <>X-change are helping themselves (laugs) BILL BUCKLEY: Diamond takes off his belt...hands it over to Nathan Storm, who's whipping Windham like a dog!! This is too much!! SAMMY BENSON: If you're going to dish it out, you better learn how to take it...I'm sure Adler is thinking about a certain limo ride, right about now.. BILL BUCKLEY: Adler has the USN belt, he's holding it right in front of Windham's face, taunting him with it!! Come on, we need some help out here!! SAMMY BENSON: A little too late, the <>X-Change has done their damage...they're leaving! BILL BUCKLEY: The ring is empty now...Senior ref Ben Worthington has managed to get Windham outside of the ring, as he's waiting for a stretcher... (Timmy Windham makes his way down the aisle, rolling Alan Windham, who's in a wheelchair, with him) BILL BUCKLEY: Sammy, here comes Timmy! I wouldn't classify this as help.... SAMMY BENSON: I told you once, I've seen enough Windham Family meetings, I'm out of here...(Benson walks off and leaves) BILL BUCKLEY: Timmy has rolled Alan, by Mark.... Mark's face is a crimson mask..he's been beaten like a dog... but he's just staring at Alan with those cold, dark eyes! Alan Windham: OH Mark....what have they done?!!! Timmy, please help you're brother...please! (Mark makes it to his knees...although bleeding like a pig) Mark Windham: Help? I've been helping myself ever since the day you left us, you son of a b*tch. If you want us to help each other, ......I'll start tomorrow by breaking the ground next to mom...I'll dig you a 6 foot ditch, for your da*n coffen, you.... Timmy Windham: STOP IT!!!! (Timmy kicks Mark in the head...throws him into the iron railing....and piledrives him into the floor) BILL BUCKLEY: Ohgawd.... Alan Windham: Timmy! No!! Timmy Windham: You told our father that you'd see him in Hell!! Well, brother...I'm gonna make sure you get there first........! (Timmy runs off, wheeling Alan along with him) BILL BUCKLEY: I don't believe this...cut to a promo or something.... -------------------------------------------------------- BB: Fans, we're back after that brutal beating that "The Living Legend" took not only at the hands of the X-Change, but of his own brother as well. We haven't been given any word on his condition, but we'll try to update you on it as word becomes available. But right now, it's time for the second part of tonight's TRIPLE MAIN EVENT. This tag match doesn't feature any superstar wrestlers by any means, but its importance is certainly of superstar status. Tonight, we're about to see the End of An Era, as CS Enterprises steps once more from behind the owners' table, and steps in the ring. Tonight, the CSWA is on the line, and tonight, CS Enterprises steps out of this arena, and for the first time ever, we'll have new owners of the CSWA. SB: I really, really need a drink. BB: Let's go down to Rhubarb Jones for the introductions. RJ: Ladies and gentlemen, the following match is a six-man tag main event. On the line, revenge, respect, and a whole lot more, including one million dollars, and the ownership of the CSWA. This is a challenge match. First, the challengers.....(theme from "The X-Files" begins to play). First, hailing from the Place Where Nightmares are Born, this man is a former CSWA Vice-President, a former back-stabbing president of his own federation, and an all-around putz. He is accompanied by his team's "mystery partner." Here is JON "CRUNCHER" KATZ!!!!! BB: This crowd is obviously voicing their disapproval for Katz. As Rhubarb mentioned, he's a former CSWA Vice-President who was fired for insubordination, then came back as his 'twin', and made off with a million dollars of CS Enterprises' money. CS got that money back, but since then, Katz has continued to hold a grudge. SB: But who's that mystery partner? BB: Well, he certainly doesn't look like a wrestler, that's for sure. I've been trying to think back and figure out who it might be....I mean, Katz was friends with some of the early CSWA Vice-Presidents like Sammy Hendricks or "Poppy," but I can't imagine them coming back to try and take over the CSWA. I mean, there are people like "President Poop," but after what happened to him the last time, it's obvious he'd never put himself in the same situation. I just don't know.....back down to Rhubarb. RJ: Their partner hails from Baton Rouge, Louisiana (theme from "The Big Easy" begins to play) He is known throughout the wrestling world as the Board Leader of the Wrestling Area on PRODIGY. He is......the Computerdude himself......BOB RYDER!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BB: Again, this crowd is obviously voicing their disapproval. SB: Look at that sign: "Bob's A Shill." BB: There's another that says, "Call The Hotline, Bob." I don't know that anyone in this arena except those three men standing in the ring want CS Enterprises to give up the CSWA. SB: I can think of a few, Buckley, but they've obviously been too chicken to show their faces. BB: Apparently so. And now, Rhubarb looks like he's ready to bring in the CS Enterprises team! RJ: Ladies and gentlemen, now it's time to introduce their opponents. ("Joy To The World" by Three Dog Night plays) First, hailing from Brooklyn, New York.....this man has stepped up to the plate becoming the CSWA's Commissioner, here is COMMISH AJ HONOLD! His partner has served as one of the CSWA's co-owners and until recently co-commissioners for over eight long years, here is "The Enforcer" CHAD MERRITT! BB: This crowd is on their feet....but like us, they're waiting for Thomas to be introduced. But it looks like Merritt and Honold are coming down to ringside by themselves! Merritt has called for a microphone as he walks down to ringside. CM: Ladies and gentlemen, you all saw what happened last night when Steve and I last stepped inside that ring. That man (points at Jon Katz), decided he needed to get at us a little early, and decided to take a baseball bat to a knee that the "Kentucky Kid" had major surgery on years ago. Ya know, Katz, Ryder, last night, I decided that if I had to step in here by myself against you, I'd do it. But I knew AJ would stand up with me. You see, last night, instead of keeping this as business, you made it personal. And I was pleased to get a call last night from an old friend. A friend who made it clear that he'd be more than willing to stand up with us, to help us out. So, Rhubarb, how about you go ahead and introduce our partner. Oh, and guys, I apologize for such a tired old gimmick, but I thought Mr. Ryder might get a kick out it. Oh, and before I forget, I've got another little surprise for my good friend Bob. Bill, Sammy, please welcome one of the preeminent commentator's in our business, certainly a man who knows the meaning of the word 'insider' more than a man whose biggest 'source' is Tommy the Copyboy in Atlanta. Please welcome, your friend but not Bob's, JOE PEDICINO! (Joe waddles down to ringside) BB: Fans, apparently we're being joined by Joe Pedicino, former host of his own television show and play-by-play man for various federations. Welcome, Joe. JP: It's good to be here, Bill. Especially when I'm about to see one of my least favorite men in the 'business' get his teeth kicked in. SB: Hold on, what else was Merritt talking about? Oh goodness..... there's a huge egg lowering down from the rafters! BB: What? Oh no, I thought you were kidding. I'm guessing that there's someone inside of that egg......but I don't have any idea who it could be. SB: Hornet? Junior Hornet? It's got to be some wrestler, if they want to have a chance against Katz, Ryder and their partner... BB: The egg is almost all the way down now....let's give it back to Rhubarb Jones. RJ: Ladies and gentlemen, taking the place of Stephen Thomas of CS Enterprises is another former member of the CSWA's Vice-Presidential line-up. BB and SB: What??? RJ: For the first time in almost a year, (egg shatters, and out steps a man) here is former CSWA VP in charge of Security........GREGG "GOBBLEDY GOOKER" GETHARD!!!!!! ("Brand New Life" from "Who's The Boss" plays) SB: They can't be serious. BB: Look at Katz inside the ring, he just about fell over with laughter. SB: For goodness' sakes, that's the man that Katz hung from a steel cage by his underwear....and this is there partner? I think I better go start work on my resume. BB: Gregg Gethard is sprinting down to ringside once again....it looks like he'll have a chance to settle a score with Jon Katz tonight. The six men are in their corners, and referee Patrick Young is ready to get this one underway. Remember, in the rules of this one, a member of the CS Enterprises' team must be pinned in order for control of the league to be given over to the team of Ryder, Katz, and whomever that may be. That man in the mask looks familiar, Sammy. I think I know who it is. SB: How can a man in a mask look familiar, Buckley? BB: His body, Sammy. I may be going out on a limb here, but I think that may be a man who was once involved with, as well as against, the CSWA. Could it be Greg Paris? SB: You've got to be kidding. Mr. Cow Crazy himself? No....if he's my boss, then I'm quitting right here and right now. The man's out of his mind! BB: I could be wrong.....there's the bell, Sammy. This 'match' has begun. It looks like Gregg Gethard is going to start things out against Jon Katz. JP: The two former CSWA Vice-Presidents certainly have a grudge against each other. In Katz's last bid at wreaking havoc in the CSWA, he went after Gethard first, in that well-known steel cage 'hanging.' SB: Speaking of grudges, maybe I'm missing something, but why does your being here have anything to do with Ryder? BB: Sammy, Joe and Bob have had quite a few 'disagreements' on-line about the wrestling business. JP: You see, Sammy, I don't appreciate being told by an upstart 'computerdude' that my numbers are wrong. I've got the numbers right here, and they tell me that the largest cable audience to order a pay-per-view in the last decade is about to see Bob Ryder get his due. SB: But you're not bitter, right? BB: Katz and Gethard are squaring off inside, and it is Katz who strikes first, with a vicious series of punches to the head of Gethard. Oh dear, I think Gethard's been busted open! SB: By what? That's his fist, not a blade that Katz is hitting him with! Oh good grief. BB: I don't know, Sammy, but it spurs Gethard to trade punches with Katz, and we've got a boxing match going on in this one! Both men fall to the ground and they're all over each other. Ref Patrick Young is letting them go at it. Katz is on his feet, and now he's stomping all over Gregg Gethard. Katz pulls Gethard to his feet and sends him into the ropes. Good night! A huge swinging DDT from Katz as he catches Gethard off the ropes. SB: Keep in mind that Katz is the only one in the ring with wrestling experience....at least that we know of. BB: True, considering we still don't know who that masked man is. Katz could go for the cover right here, but instead, he pulls Gethard to his feet and whips him into the CS Enterprises' corner! Apparently, Katz is done with Gethard, and now he wants some more competition! SB: I really should go make copies of my resume while I still have access to the copier. BB: Commish AJ tags in and he charges into the ring! JP: He better watch out! BB: HUGE CLOTHESLINE by Katz! SB: Is his head still attached? BB: Katz just folded AJ over like a cheap hooker, and again, it looks to me as if he could go for the pin. Instead, he walks over to his corner, and he tags in Bob Ryder! JP: This should be painful to watch. BB: Katz comes off the ropes and nails an elbow into AJ's throat. Ref Young is delivering the five-count....but it was all to keep AJ down as Bob Ryder climbs to the top! JP: Somebody's got to do something, AJ could be killed! BB: Katz climbs out of the ring. Look at Ryder! He's loving it, just standing up there on the top rope. But what's he going to do? MOONSAULT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OHMYDEARLORD! He just came off the top and NAILED AJ with the moonsault! Young dives down to count the cover! NO, Ryder pulls up! He's not going for the pin! JP and SB: WHAT? BB: It looks like Ryder is trying to get to his feet, and he brings AJ up with him. He has AJ by the hair and he pushes the CSWA Commissioner into his own corner. He wants Merritt in the ring! JP: That's one of the most absolutely stupid things I've ever seen. The man has his chance to take over, and he lets it slip through his fingers. Even I thought Ryder was a little smarter than that. Oh, I forgot, he's from Baton Rouge....the fat must've gone to his brain. BB: Merritt makes the tag and steps in. It looks like he and Ryder are jawing back and forth. Oh my! Merritt just tagged Ryder in the head with a hard right. Ryder tries to fire back, but Merritt ducks that huge hand. Merritt tries to whip Ryder across, but he can't get enough leverage! Reversal by Ryder, and it is Merritt who is sent running. Ryder comes across....BELLY TO BELLY SUPLEX! JP: This is disgraceful. BB: Ryder just caught Merritt full on, turned him over and came down with his full weight down on top of Merritt. I don't think Merritt's moving. It looks like that move took quite a bit out of Ryder as well. Again, Ryder doesn't go for the cover, he stands up slowly, and he's looking over at Katz. Katz yells something over and points at the masked man, but Ryder turns away. Ryder is up.....oh no, please tell me he's not doing what I think he's doing. JP: It seems appropriate. SB: Goodbye, Merritt, you were a good boss. BB: Ryder is setting up for the Earthquake maneuver! JP: He's jumping around the ring like a fool is what he's doing. BB: Hold on! Ryder just got near his own corner, and the masked man just tagged Ryder by smacking him in the back of the head! Ryder doesn't look like he knows what's going on, but referee Patrick Young is telling him he's got to get out of the ring. The masked man just ran in, he hooks Merritt's leg! Young dives down for the cover! ONE................TWO...............THREE!!!!!!!!!!! Merritt has been pinned! The CSWA is now o-fish-ally owned by Bob Ryder, Jon Katz, and that man! JP: As much as I know I'm going to regret it now that Ryder's actually won, I'm going to get in there for a post-match interview. See you guys. SB: Good riddance. BB: Let's go to Joe Pedicino, who is now in the ring with the winning team. JP: Ladies and gentlemen, I'm standing here with the new co-owners of the CSWA, Bob Ryder, Jon Katz, and.....let's start off with that one, just who are you? Katz: That's a mystery that'll be revealed in just a second, Joeyboy. JP: Well, you all now own a third of the CSWA apiece. What happens to the historic wrestling league now? Katz: Well, you see, Joe.....you're not exactly right. You see, according to this piece of paper (pulls paper from trunks), I'm back to being a CSWA Vice-President. But this time, it's a cushy job, full of kickbacks and an office with windows. That's all I need. JP: You're saying you've signed over your third of the company? Katz: You're almost not as dumb as you look, Joey. JP: But to who? Oh please tell me it's not to you (points at Ryder). Ryder: (grabs mic) Listen up, Pedicino. Everything I do in this world, whether in the wrestling business or not, is exactly that, BUSINESS. You see, unlike you, I'm not interested in being buddy-buddy with every two-bit wrestler or promoter out there. I don't have allegiances that I've got to kiss butt to fulfill. I get what I want. And that's exactly what I'm getting in this case. JP: The CSWA? But why? You've never run a league before! Ryder: Apparently you weren't listening. I told you, I always get what I want. And in this case, that's means that the IRONMAN of CHAMPIONS will be simulcast on PRODIGY, not to mention a few fistfuls of cash. I know I'm not a promoter......just remember, I ALWAYS get what I want. JP: If it's not you.....and it's not you.....then it must be HIM (nods at masked man). You're the new owner of the CSWA? Who are you? Masked Man: (starts loosening mask) The question isn't who am *I*? It's who are *we*? JP: What are you talking about? Masked Man: Ryder just told you. I'm the man who's going to give him what he wants. Gentlemen? BB: Jon Katz just grabbed hold of Joe Pedicino and has him in an armbar. Now the masked man is kicking Pedicino while Ryder stands back and laughs. But wait a minute, here comes Gethard, AJ, and Merritt! They're gonna make the save! SB: That doesn't look like a save to me. BB: Hold on! Now all five men are kicking away on Pedicino, who is down on the mat! Bob Ryder is going up top!!!! The five men move out of the way! SHOOTING STAR PRESS on Pedicino! He's going up again!!!! BONZAI SPLASH halfway across the ring! Look at that smile on Ryder's face! SB: Um, Joe looks even worse than usual. BB: What is going on here!!!??? The masked man has the mic, and he's pulling off his mask! IT'S STEPHEN THOMAS!!!!! It was Thomas all along! He's got two pieces of paper in his hand, and he and Merritt are beaming ear to ear! This crowd is cheering wildly! Let's go back to the ring! Thomas: That's right, folks. According to these pieces of paper, CS Enterprises are once again the owners of the CSWA! BB: It's only been five minutes, and they're already the owners again! Thomas: And we'd like to reintroduce you to a few old faces. CSWA Vice-Presidents GREGG GETHARD and JON KATZ are back in action! BB: Gethard and Katz look like they're old friends! It was all a work! Thomas: And of course, you all know the man who is now the CSWA's Vice-Commissioner, AJ HONOLD! Then there's your good friend and mine.....PRODIGY Board Leader, BOB RYDER. And, of course, you know us, your CSWA owners and co-commissioners, CS ENTERPRISES. Merritt: At Battle of the Belts XIV, we meant what we said. At that point, we had no intention of coming back to the CSWA once we lost in the ring. But in the first week after our announcement, we received literally thousands of calls, cards, and letters asking us to stay. At first, we ignored them. But after the last couple of months, we started to realize a few things. The first were when Gethard and Katz came to us and asked what they could do. The second was the superb job that AJ has done after having the Commissionership thrust upon him. The third was when those cards and letters continued...and they started to talk about something else. People starting writing to us, telling us that they understood why we were leaving, that they understood by watching others in this business, why we were sick and tired of the biting and backstabbing. Thomas: See, we know those people will always be out there. They always have. The second-best in this world will also come after the best with everything they can get their hands on, no matter how ugly and self-incriminating it may be. Merritt: We've got what we want, folks. We have your support, and we know that no matter what happens, you'll be here to stick by us, just like the men in this ring will be. With all that said, I think it's time for the final match of the night. Back up to you, Bill. BB: I don't know exactly what to say! All six men are leaving the ring, but before they do, they just flashed some kind of sign to the crowd with their hands. SB: Wait a second, this means I still have a job, right? BB: At least for now. Fans, I hope you'll indulge us with one last break before we get to the match where the CAREER of two superstars is on the line! =========================================================== (The scene fades away from the action in the arena and back to a dark, almost deserted boardroom in the deep recesses of FISH FUND PARK ARENA. No sounds can be heard, hardly anything can be seen, until a light is finally turned on. Chad Merritt and Stephen Thomas enter the boardroom and sit down at the conference table.) Thomas: I guess it's time to decide. Merritt: I guess so. You have the die? Thomas: (reaches into coat pocket) I've got it. Merritt: I've got the book. (pulls out a small binder) Ready? Let's rock 'n ROLL. (The silence of the boardroom is shattered as Thomas drops a large red die onto the table. It rolls down the table and back, finally coming to rest on one side) Merritt: What is it? Thomas: 56 on the 77 sider. What does it say that is in the book? Merritt: (laughs and reads) "One fingered pin in the center of the ring, no interference, makes a fool out of opponent." Thomas: (sighs) Well I'm glad we rolled that one. What if it had been a one or something? Merritt: What do you mean? This is the 77-sided die, 76 of the numbers get that same result. Except the 3 of course. Thomas: Oh yeah, now I remember. The 3 is the "World Champion drops title, comes back a week later and gets second title shot," right? Merritt: No, you idiot. That's not on this one. The 3 is the "Top contender gets title shot, is scared of losing a match, runs out and no-shows, falls into relative obscurity until he can find a buddy to run things his way." Thomas: Oh. Wow, I'm glad we didn't get that one. Talk about corrupt... Merritt: Anyway, it's all set now.....cue the deer. (Scene fades) ============================================================ BB: Well, fans, we're coming down to the final match of FISH FUND XI....and while this card may have billed as the "End of An Era," after what we just saw, I'm not exactly sure what era we're seeing end! Not the one with CS Enterprises certainly. And after all the action we've seen, certainly not the era of the CSWA sitting atop as *the* league in professional wrestling! SB: Just hurry up and get this next match over with before Hortense comes over and threatens me again. BB: That shouldn't be a new thing to you, Sammy. Well, fans, we've seen matches for the ownership of the CSWA, we've seen new champions crowned. We've seen a battle between three of the preeminent former and current holders of the EN World Title, not to mention some incredible action in the tag team division with the Unified World Titles. But it all comes down to this. One final match, no special stipulations, no cages, no partners. This isn't NO EXCUSES or WAR GAMES, it's not the WHEEL OF DEATH or the FIREHOUSE. It's a simple battle of brain, brawn, and will. SB: How poetic. BB: (gives Sammy a withering look) Fans, before we head to the introductions, here's a very special look at the feud between GUNS and HORNET. ============================================================ (The TV wall lights up, as over 110,000 fans rise to their feet to watch. The video begins, shows the words, CAREER MATCH, on the screen) Video: Tonight, one of the preeminent wrestlers in the world will leave the CSWA. Not for a day, not for a month, but for a lifetime. The battle between Hornet and GUNS has been raging for over a year, and the action in this drama has taken place in two federations, many matches, and lots of blood, sweat, and tears. Tonight, two men step into the squared circle for the final time in the CSWA. The man they call "The Franchise........." (cut to clip: Hornet is speaking) "You see, Rudy, it seems to me that GUNS is running around trying to solidify his "rule" in some of the minor leagues. He's always talked about how I'm the "Franchise" of the CSWA. Well, he's right.| (cut to clip: GUNS) "...And when it's all said and done, all you'll be the "Franchise" of...is the charred remains. Enjoy it while it lasts, Hornet." The man they call "The Strongest Arms In The World..." (cut to clip: GUNS) "I don't NEED to pin you, Hornet. I already know who the better man is. And here's one hint. He's got the Strongest Arms in the World." (cut to clip: Hornet) "I'm glad you've reckoned with your fate, GUNS. FISH FUND XI will be your last night in the CSWA. But it won't be because of the "powers that be," it won't be because of anything other than the simple fact that I'm better than you are. Come to grips with it, GUNS. I know you're a proud man, but, well, simply put, you're not me. You aren't good enough to be me, and you're not good enough to pin me." Video: The hatred between these two men stretches back over part of their careers. When GUNS was unable to face off against Mike Randalls under a mask in the AAWC, it was Hornet he turned to. And when Hornet defeated Randalls for the AAWC Unified Title, it was Hornet who was turned on...and then put in the hospital by GUNS. The feud may have begun there, but it certainly didn't end. Exactly one year ago, these two men met at FISH FUND X, in the last IRONMAN of CHAMPIONS. It all came down to one final match. The winner of the match by pinfall would become the Unified Champion. But even by then, the hatred between these two men was so deep...that one of them did the unthinkable. (Cut to footage of the match at FISH FUND X: Mine Eyes Have Seen the Glory) BB: Well, GUNS isn't screaming anymore, in fact, he's not doing much of anything anymore. He appears to be out in the middle of the ring. Hornet has this match won, but there is no Ben Worthington ready to award him the win. Hornet lets up on the Scorpion and heads over to the side of the ring to wake Ben Worthington. Hold on, GUNS seems to be coming back to life in the middle of the ring. Hornet doesn't give him a moment to rest. He pulls GUNS to his feet and sends him down with a belly to back suplex, and then pulls GUNS back up. Hornet measures him and then goes back to come off the ropes. Hornet charges GUNS, but GUNS falls to his good knee and launches Hornet over the top rope!!! And Worthington is still down, so he didn't see it! Hornet comes down hard on his back on the ring apron!!! SB: He's hurt, Bill. He's really hurt. BB: You don't have to sound so happy about it! Hornet has this match won until GUNS sent him over the top in desperation! GUNS scoots over to where Worthington is lying and tries to pull himself up to his feet by the ropes. Hornet is still outside on the floor, and he's not making any motion to get up. SB: GUNS has got to get Hornet back in the ring. He cannot win the IRONMAN with just 15 points for the countout win! BB: And it seems like GUNS heard you, because he moves away from Worthington and heads to get Hornet back into the ring. GUNS is still in trouble; he can't put any weight at all on that right knee. And we can't tell the extent of Hornet's injury yet, except that it is obvious his back has been reinjured. Hornet is up on his knees, and GUNS leans under the bottom rope to pull Hornet back into the ring by his hair! Both men are in the ring, but they're both off their feet. Hornet is barely moving, and GUNS cannot get to his feet without incredible pain and risking further injury. We could have a double count-out here if Worthington ever wakes up! SB: And it looks like he might! He's stirring over there in the corner! BB: GUNS pulls the unconscious Hornet into the center of the ring and covers him! Worthington is still blurry-eyes, but he counts it from across the ring!! ONE..........no, Hornet gets his right shoulder up! I don't know how Hornet got that shoulder up, but somehow he did. Ben Worthington is slow getting to his feet, but he finally does, and he begins the standing ten-count on both men. Both GUNS and Hornet are pulling on the ropes, trying to make it to their feet before the ten count. Hornet falls back onto the mat and begins again, but GUNS is finally successful in making it to his feet, breaking the ten count. GUNS grimaces each time he puts any weight on that right knee, but he knows that he's so close to winning the Unified Championship, he doesn't care. SB: Finish him! End it! BB: Hornet is finally on his feet. GUNS puts him down with a slam. He pulls Hornet upside down! He's going to try and end it all here! PILEDRIVER! He covers! ONE......NO, Hornet gets his leg on the ropes! Neither man is willing to give up in this one! SB: They better start thinking about ending it, because only five minutes remain in the match! BB: Good point! GUNS is using his incredible upper body strength, but he can't use any maneuver where he would have to pick Hornet up because of his knee. GUNS pulls Hornet to his feet again, and there's a DDT!!! GUNS follows, setting up Hornet and sending him hard into the mat with a TOMBSTONE! GUNS covers! ONE.......TWO......NO, the shoulder is up! Hornet has no chance of winning this match, but he's not giving it up! Hold on, GUNS is yelling something at Hornet. Let's get that ring microphone on! GUNS: It's over, Bugbrain. Give it up now before I snap your neck, your back, whatever! You know who the better man is! BB: GUNS pulls Hornet up again, and there's another DDT! GUNS: Don't you know when you've met your match? It's over, Hornet! BB: But GUNS only gets a two-count before Hornet gets the shoulder up. Hornet isn't answering any of GUNS' taunts. GUNS: Don't get up again! I told you that this is over! BB: And AGAIN, GUNS puts Hornet down with the tombstone and covers!! ONE.........TWO......NO, again Hornet is up! RJ: Three minutes remain in this match. SB: There's no way either of these men can go for another three minutes. This one is going to end right here, right now. BB: GUNS pulls Hornet to his feet and whips him into the turnbuckle! He can't run to follow him in, but there's no rush, because Hornet slumps to the mat still in the corner. GUNS lifts Hornet and puts him on the top rope! SB: He can't be going for a superplex can he???? BB: I think so. Since he can't put much pressure on his knee, he's going to let momentum do the work for him! And when he throws Hornet onto his back from the top rope, this match is over! GUNS: I told you it's over, boy. But now I'm going to end your career! HORNET: Don't bet on it, steroidboy. If I can't win this thing, then either can you! BB: Hornet has come to life on the top turnbuckle! BB: Hornet blocks GUNS' attempt to send him to the mat! GUNS can't put any pressure on that knee, so Hornet is able to stay perched on that top turnbuckle while GUNS pushes off the second rope. RJ: Ninety seconds remain! SB: After all that, this thing is gonna end in a time limit draw? What a jip! BB: Hornet said that if he couldn't win, he wouldn't let GUNS. But I don't know if he'll have any choice in the matter. If GUNS gets him off that turnbuckle, this match is over! GUNS pulls at Hornet again, but Hornet pulls back, and now we've got two men fighting for their lives! Hornet places his feet on the second rope and pulls! GUNS just WENT TO THE OUTSIDE FROM THE TOP TURNBUCKLE!!! He is hurt! Referee Ben Worthington is calling for the bell!!!! Rhubarb? RJ: Referee Ben Worthington has awarded the match to GUNS via disqualification of Hornet for throwing his opponent over the top rope. That means GUNS finishes with a 3-2 record, but only 55 points! ============================================================ Video: Months later, GUNS and Hornet would meet in what everyone thought would be their final match. GUNS, who desperately needed knee surgery to repair the damage done by Mike Randalls, had announced his intention to retire. But before he did so, he called for a match against Hornet, one that Hornet wanted just as eagerly. That match went on for sixty minutes, with neither man able to garner to strength to pin the other. However, rather than let it end in a time-limit draw, they let the match continue. And while Hornet took control of the match in overtime, GUNS never gave in to the Scorpion Deathlock, even after ten minutes of knee-wrenching, blinding pain. Finally, however, it was enough....and Hornet got the pin on GUNS. But if you thought the story would end there, well, you were sadly mistaken. Just months later, GUNS would make his return, now with a 'bionic' knee replacement. He sought out the help of Hornet for one reason. That reason being, to payback Mike Randalls for the career-ending injury he had caused. The stage was set, and in the match between Hornet and Mike Randalls, Hornet did something he hadn't done before, he pulled an opponent into a trap just as tightly wrapped as the Scorpion Deathlock, and then sprung it....with disastrous results for Randalls. GUNS and Hornet beat him to a tee, and in the weeks and months to come, the two men would develop a wrestling partnership that seemed as tightly bound as any....at least for a while. Then the doubt seemed to seep in. Hornet interfered in various matches between Mark Windham and GUNS, especially when the EN World Title seemed to be on the line. GUNS accidently caught Hornet in his back with the EN World Title during a brawl. Finally, it seemed, something had to snap. At Winter's Warriors, March of this year, something did. But not in the way that anyone thought. Again, the unthinkable happened, and it has been the root cause of everything leading up until now. (Cut to: Winter's Warriors VII footage) SAMMY BENSON: Folks remember this night...what GUNS is doing to Windham well..it's UNFORGETABLE! BILL BUCKLEY: GUNS, executes a vertical suplex! He's on fire, and this sold-out crowd in GREENSBORO is loving every minute of it! SAMMY BENSON: I'm loving it too, Buckley..this is great! I'm going to order the video...which by the way is only $220.00! BILL BUCKLEY: Stop! GUNS is making his way to the top rope! Windham staggers to his feet! GUNS is perched on the top! He flys off the top rope, but WINDHAM FLINGS THE LADDER IN FRONT OF HIM AND GUNS RUNS HEAD FIRST INTO IT! SAMMY BENSON: What a move! Windham isn't dead yet, this hasn't been a bad little match! BILL BUCKLEY: Both men on the mat, Windham unable to get up, and GUNS is shaken by the blow! SAMMY BENSON: First man to his feet wins! *laugh* BILL BUCKLEY: Windham, shows some signs of life, as he uses the ladder to pull himself up! Mark reaches down to pull GUNS to his feet...European uppercut! And another! Windham wraps the EN champ's neck over the top rope! There's a choke! Come on, Juarez break the hold!! SAMMY BENSON: Quit your whining..he's got 5 seconds! And the way Manuel understands English, he could count to 30! BILL BUCKLEY: Windham flips the ropes towards his body, and GUNS goes flying backwards! Windham's face is a crimson mask.. he's been beaten down, but somehow the 5-time US Heavyweight Champion has gotten his second wind! SAMMY BENSON: He's done it just in the nick of time, Buckley! Another minute, and this match would've been over! For sure! BILL BUCKLEY: Mark uses the ladder as a springboard, and clotheslines GUNS! Windham, kneels over the fallen EN Champ, as he fires several right hands! If GUNS wanted a fight, you better believe Windham is ready to give him one! SAMMY BENSON: Fight or not, the winner is the one who walks away with the gold at the end of the night...Marky can make GUNS bleed all he wants to, but he's got to pin his shoulders to the mat! BILL BUCKLEY: Windham with a belly to belly suplex! OHMY! Here's the cover, 1....2..No! Whoa! That count was fast! What the heck is Juarez doing! SAMMY BENSON: Maybe the man is just a little excited about calling his first WORLD title match! BILL BUCKLEY: Maybe..Mark sets up the ladder, he's climbing the steps! Windham off the top of the ladder, with a leg drop! I believe this is the first ladder match for either man, but they're learning what to do with it, very quickly! SAMMY BENSON: They're champs, Buckley..you make do with what you've been given! Let's not forget it was GUNS who brought the ladder into the ring in the first place! BILL BUCKLEY: And now he's paying for it! Windham irish whips GUNS into the ropes, Western Lariat! He connected on that one! For so many years, Sammy, he used the Lariat to finish his matches! SAMMY BENSON: I remember..he beat my guys a few times with it...the twit! BILL BUCKLEY: Stonewall Jackson, has GUNS to his feet, Side Russian Leg Sweep! He's got things rollin' now! Mark stays on the offensive, he's got a boston crab! GUNS is screaming out in pain! What a turn of events! SAMMY BENSON: There's going to be a new EN World Champ tonight, I can smell it in the air! BILL BUCKLEY: No Sammy, what you smell is just you.. SAMMY BENSON: (smelling him self) Oh... BILL BUCKLEY: Windham has the boston crab sinched in... if GUNS wants to keep that title, he better do something quick! BILL BUCKLEY: GUNS crawls over to the ropes..inching his way ever closer! He extends his hand, GUNS has the bottom rope! Windham releases the ropes, and shoves Juarez..I guess he tought the match should have been called! SAMMY BENSON: Don't shove Juarez he's just the middle man.. BILL BUCKLEY: Yeah. Windham with a bulldog! The tide has certainly turned here..GUNS is the beaten man, and it's Windham who has the upper hand! Mark whips GUNS to the ropes, SPINEBUSTER! SAMMY BENSON: We've got a new champion right here! BILL BUCKLEY: One..two..no! Man, Juarez that's a fast count you idiot! What's he doing? SAMMY BENSON: Fast count? Just call the match, old man! BILL BUCKLEY: Mark goes to the top rope...check that..he's climbing the cage! GUNS is to his feet, he's going after Windham!! GUNS reaches out, and pulls Mark down!! SAMMY BENSON: Whoa..nice butt shot..there's my thrill for the day! Gawd, I hate my life... BILL BUCKLEY: GUNS rams Mark's head into the top of the cage! Windham rakes the eyes! Mark is climbing over the top of the cage, he's leaving!! GUNS manages to grab on the Windham's hair! He's not letting Mark get away! SAMMY BENSON: Of course not, they've got a score to settle! (fumbling around) I know that extra Bud is around here someplace... BILL BUCKLEY: GUNS pulls Windham up a little..he's setting up for a suplex!! GUNS superplexes Mark off the top of the CAGE!! OHMYGAWD! SAMMY BENSON: This has gone too far!! BILL BUCKLEY: Yes it has, the action here is unreal! SAMMY BENSON: No, someone took my beer..(pointing to a fan) Was it you, lush face? BILL BUCKLEY: GUNS piledrives Windham!! The cover, ONE....TWO...................NO! Come on Juarez! SAMMY BENSON: He's doing the best he can, get off his back.. if you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all! BILL BUCKLEY: Shut up Benson! SAMMY BENSON: Shutting up sir.. BILL BUCKLEY: GUNS carries Windham to the top of the Ladder! What's he doing? GUNS is planning something, he points to the fans!! They give their approval! SAMMY BENSON: Oh-no..I can't watch! BILL BUCKLEY: GUNS powerbombs Mark off the top of the ladder! OHMY!! BILL BUCKLEY: GUNS instead of going for the pin is going to make sure Windham is out.... GUNS with a TOMBSTONE PILEDRIVER!! This could be it! SAMMY BENSON: I don't believe it..he's going to become one fo the few men ever to pin WINDHAM!! BILL BUCKLEY: GUNS is making his way to the top of the ladder once again! Mark is out cold!! GUNS jumps off the ladder, and nails Windham with his Bionic knee!! SAMMY BENSON: That's a metal knee...that's illegal!! Or it shoulde be!! BILL BUCKLEY: Mark's face and chest is covered in blood, he's out of it! GUNS with the cover, MYGAWD he's going to do it!!!!!! GUNS makes the cover........hey..what! Juarez isn't counting the pin!!! What in the world!! Manuel Juarez is not counting the pin!! SAMMY BENSON: YESSSSSSSSSS!!! BILL BUCKLEY: GUNS pulls at Juarez's shirt..urging him to count!! He's just looking at GUNS!! MANUEL JUAREZ:(to GUNS) NO ENGLISH..NO ENGLISH! SAMMY BENSON: Look at that...how is he suppose to count, when he doesn't know the language! BILL BUCKLEY: He speaks English quite fluidly, thank you very much!! What the heck is he doing!! GUNS to his feet, he's got Juarez by the neck!! The fans are going nuts..they don't know what's going on!!! Windham is slowly coming to! SAMMY BENSON: I've got a funny feeling about this, Buckley! BILL BUCKLEY: GUNS yelling at Juarez, and rightfully so! Windham, reaches into his boot! HE'S GOT BRASS KNUCKLES!!! SAMMY BENSON: YESSSS!!! Just like Mariah says, ONE SWEET DAY!! WHOOO HOOOO! BILL BUCKLEY: Mark to his feet, he taps GUNS on the shoulder, and takes a wild swing!! HE'S KNOCKED OUT GUNS!!! HE JUST CLOBBERED GUNS WITH THE BRASS KNUCKS!! WHAT IN THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE!?? SAMMY BENSON: Thank you so much...thank you lord!! BILL BUCKLEY: LOOK AT JUAREZ..HE'S JUMPING UP AND DOWN LIKE HE JUST WON A MILLION DOLLARS!!! FOR GOODNESS' SAKES HE'S BEEN PAID OFF!! SAMMY BENSON: Nothing gets by you, does it? BILL BUCKLEY: Manuel Juarez is jumping for joy, meanwhile, Windham has GUNS pinned!! Juarez is too busy celebrating he doesn't realize Windham has GUNS pinned!!! SAMMY BENSON: What an idiot! BILL BUCKLEY: Windham screaming at Juarez, wait..(fans erupt) HERE COMES HORNET!! YESSSS!! YESSSSS! Video: No one in the world knew exactly what was going on a that point. Hornet and Mark Windham had ended their best friendship two years previously, and the weeks and months before Winter's Warriors, it seemed as if they truly hated each other. (back to footage) BILL BUCKLEY: Windham has GUNS dead to rights, but Juarez is having some sort of fit!! SAMMY BENSON: Come on you idiot...count the freakin' pin!! BILL BUCKLEY: HORNET is scaling the cage!! He's trying to get in!!! Windham runs over and grabs Manuel by the shirt!! He's dragging him over to GUNS!! SAMMY BENSON: Hurry you moron, count the pin!! BILL BUCKLEY: HORNET IS IN THE CAGE!!!! WINDHAM WITH THE COVER, AND JUAREZ TO COUNT..... SAMMY BENSON: You can do it....come on!! BILL BUCKLEY: 1........2........(HORNET dives and catches Juarez's arm right before it hits the mat for the 3!) YESS!!!(Fans go wild) HORNET has the hand of Juarez.. he's pointing his finger to the fans.... HORNET:(shaking head and finger) NO...NO....NO!! SAMMY BENSON: What is that goob doing here!! This doesn't concern him!! BILL BUCKLEY: He's trying to save his best friend!! Windham goes after HORNET, but HORNET catches him with a savat kick! HORNET whips Windham into the corner, HORNET SPLASH!! I LOVE IT!! I LOVE IT! SAMMY BENSON: I'm going to cry..... BILL BUCKLEY: GUNS TO HIS KNEES..HE SEES WHAT HORNET HAS DONE!! GUNS HAS A HUGE SMILE ON HIS FACE!! HE LOOKS TO THE FANS AND POINTS TO HORNET, AS IF TO SAY..THERE'S MY BEST FRIEND!! SAMMY BENSON: Spare me! BILL BUCKLEY: HORNET AND GUNS EMBRACE!! THEY EXCHANGE WORDS, HORNET TOLD GUNS TO GO OVER AND FINISH OFF WINDHAM!! HE'S GOING TO FORCE JUAREZ TO COUNT!! SAMMY BENSON: I'm getting sick.... BILL BUCKLEY: GUNS HAS WINDHAM SET FOR ANOTHER PILEDRIVER!!! WHAT IN THE WORLD???? IT JUST LOOKED LIKE... JUAREZ JUST SLIPPED SOMETHING TO HORNET!! SAMMY BENSON: There's hope!! BILL BUCKLEY: IT'S TAPE! HE'S TAPING UP HIS FIST.. HORNET BOUNCES OFF THE ROPES, DISCUS PUNCH ON GUNS!!! OHMYGAWD!! HE'S BEEN KNOCKED SILLY, BY HIS OWN FREAKIN' BEST FRIEND!! SAMMY BENSON: YESSSSSSSSSSSS!! BILL BUCKLEY: HORNET STOMPS AWAY AT GUNS! WINDHAM IS UP.... HE LOOKS AT HORNET!! THEY BOTH START LAUGHING!! WHAT IN THE HECK IS GOING ON?!!! SAMMY BENSON: It's a set-up the whole thing is a set-up!! GUNS has been scammed!! Video: Mark Windham went on the take the Enterprises World Championship in that NO EXCUSES match. But afterwards, the real fireworks began. (cut to clip of GUNS after WW7) You know something...I thought I'd seen it all. But this really takes the cake. (Laughs.) Hornet...I'll admit it...you played me like a CHEAP VIOLIN...just like you always have! You know...Jim Williams wasn't all too far off when he called you the Anti Christ! The man was speaking the truth the whole time...it's ironic. It's really ironic...the writing was on the wall but I just refused to read it. I bought into the "Greatest American Hero" just like all those people out there with their foam fingers and their Hornet face paint. I bought into it, Hornet...and you SOLD ME DOWN THE RIVER! Hornet...you got me! Are you happy now? You got me...you set the trap and I fell for it HOOK, LINE, AND SINKER!! Well, that's fine! I'll give you a round of applause? You and Windham fooled just about EVERYBODY in the CSWA...but the difference is, boys...that I'm not one of the fans you hurt tonight. I'm not wearing my Hornet face paint with tears welling up in my eyes as I throw my foam finger in the garbage! "Hornet...I thought you were my FRIEND...I thought you were...(Laughs.) Well...it really doesn't matter what I thought anymore, does it. All that matters is what IS! And what has happened here tonight is that you two have brought me right back down to rock bottom! You two have taken everything away from me! You've robbed me of my only friend in the sport...you've robbed me of my dignity...but most of all, boys...you've robbed me of the UNIFIED title...you've robbed me of the EN title...FOR THE LAST TIME! I'm not gonna TAKE IT ANYMORE! It's all laid out on the table now, isn't it!! No more tricks...no more deception...it's all out in the open now! Hornet...the last time we were on opposite sides of the ring...I was on one leg going solely on emotion...solely on GUTS... and you still needed EVERYTHING in your power to BEAT ME! Well...things have certainly changed now, haven't they? You see...Hornet...I've returned with a Bionic Knee and a new lease on my career...and you'veshown your true colors... that's all well and good, Hornet! But Hornet...you're gonna pay for what you did here tonight! You're going to PAY for selling me down the river! You're going to WISH YOU WERE NEVER BORN! Hornet...Windham...and even that idiot Mexican Juarez...it's NO MORE MR. NICE GUY! You wanna PLAY? THEN LET'S PLAY!! Hornet...Windham...I'm coming for you! It's not about the UNIFIED title anymore...you've changed my whole outlook! You've made it PERSONAL!! Whether I ever win that UNIFIED title or not...know THIS!! I am going to go down in history as the man who DESTROYED AMERICA'S TEAM ONCE AND FOR ALL!! Hornet...Windham...you've made your beds...now you've GOTTA SLEEP IN THEM!! (Storms out of the locker room.) (cut to clip of Hornet) "You're right, GUNS, you're right back at the bottom. Right where I left you when you retired. But don't threaten us, GUNS. After tonight, don't even pretend that you're in any condition to make threats. You want to break up America's Team? Only two men were ever able to do that, GUNS, and you're looking at them. It's time for you to choose your path, GUNS. If that means coming after us, then by all means, bring it on." Video: Since that night, the feud has intensified. GUNS even went so far as teaming up with former archenemy turned ally, Mike Randalls, in taking on America's Team. Something seemed to have gone awry throughout the world of wrestling, and it centered on these two men. And from that night on, while the action has largely been in the interview areas rather than the ring, that feud has added fuel to the fire. Until now. Since then, GUNS had echoed his cries of corruption, while Hornet has echoed his cries of supremacy. (cut to clips of GUNS) "It's very simple, Hornet. You won't leave the CSWA... because things aren't done your way anywhere else." "But I want one more shot, Hornet. One last chance to get my hands on you. You say that the "powers that be" won't be involved in this one? Why should that night b e different from every other night in the CSWA? Sorry, Hornet, but I don't buy it. But, I must say...if it comes down to just you and me, on level ground...I'm gonna kick your ass all over that ring. I'm going to give you the beating of your natural life. And I'm gonna pin your painted ass right in the center of the ring." "But I'm not one to kid myself, Hornet. We both know that will never happen. We both know that the clock ticks just that much slower when Hornet is on the canvas...and that much faster when Hornet in on top." "You see, Hornet, you seem to think that you made a big joke out of GUNS. Frankly, I think you and Windham are the only ones who got the joke...because frankly, I don't see the punchline. I don't see anything funny." "The truth is that JobTour '96 is going to roll into Sweetwater and then out of the CSWA forever." (cut to clips of Hornet) "So don't come here and whine about what I've done to you. Because by my books, the account's not cleared up yet. But it will be at FISH FUND, when I slap on the Scorpion Deathlock, then let up and pin you with one finger. So, whether you decide to bring the "old" GUNS or the "new" GUNS as you apparently call them....whether you bring an army or yourself, I'm gonna take care of business at FISH FUND. And my business will be putting you out of the CSWA. So you go on whining, talk about your grandmother, talk about the "turn," talk about all the belts you've lost or never held....because after FISH FUND, you're out of the big leagues, buddy, once and for all." "The truth is, the only man attempting to become king around here is: "The Whiner Who Would Be King." "Yep, GUNS is going to be put out of the CSWA. He's says he'll beat me from pillar to post, but I'll somehow get the "cheap" pin. Well, I think I've made it very clear that for my part at least, it's gonna be one-on-one, no tricks, no surprises." "You whine because I won't come to your corrupted AAWC and wrestle....although I've already done it. You whine because Anarky calls himself a star, and then complain because he's in too many leagues in your opinion. You tell me that win at FISH FUND won't matter because I'm not beating you in the AAWC, but you don't apply the same rules, since you can't beat Windham one-on-one in the CSWA. Or myself either, for that matter. Or Adler, or a slew of other folks like Eliminator and Anarky, two men you've decided to put down lately." "You see, GUNS, it's never been the "powers that be" that have stopped you from pinning me, no matter how much you believe it. It was me, GUNS, pure and simple. Cause you see, every time we've met, I've had the upper hand. Even at FISH FUND last year, I had you beaten until you decided to throw me over the top. And even then, even after that, I beat you, didn't I? Because you never touched the Unified Championship. And guess who did, GUNS? Guess who did for the third time? The "powers that be" aren't involved in this GUNS. It's just you and me." "Excuses won't help. Whining about corruption and "poor GUNS" won't help. But I'll help you. I'll put you out of your misery..." Video: This time, there can be only one. There are no titles, there will be no more chances. The time for talk is over. The time for excuses has passed. The time for action is now. (Fireworks explode on the video wall, and are followed by fireworks in the arena, as the hushed crowd erupts once again.) BB: Well, fans, there's a part of the history between these two men. Let's cut the chatter, and head down to Rhubarb Jones with the introductions! Let's do it, Rhubarb! RJ: Ladies and gentlemen, we're down to the final match of this TRIPLE MAIN EVENT here at FISH FUND XI: END OF AN ERA! This match is one-fall, with no time limit. The loser of this match will be forced to leave the CSWA, his CSWA career over. The first contestant hails from San Antonio, Texas. He stands at five feet eleven inches, and weighs in at a massive three hundred sixty-five pounds. He entered the CSWA in March 1995, and very quickly rose to the top, defeating former CSWA World Champion Joey Melton, and then moving on to defeat 16 other top contenders in the world to take the Enterprise World Championship, a title he has held on two occasions. He is the former and only CAL World Champion, a former UWA Mid-American Champion, a former CCW World heavyweight Champion. He has held the PCWA Unified Championship, the AAWC Unified Championship and most recently, the FWC Universal Championship. He is known for his violent feud with Mike Randalls, which raged throughout most of the major federations in the world over the past few years. Tonight, he hopes to finish a feud that has become as storied. You have seen how he has competed with Hornet for the Unified World Title. Tonight, they do it with their careers on the line. He is accompanied down to ringside by his manager, the infamous TTL! Here is the man with the thirty-two inch biceps, he is the "Strongest Arms In The World," here is GUNS!!!!!!!!!! (mixed crowd reaction, chorus of "Whiner" chants from some) BB: GUNS is making his way down to ringside, and TTL is talking in his ear all the way. SB: He wasn't kidding about not bathing, was he? He's.....well, he's a bit yellow. BB: That came from his match with EN World Champ Anarky last night when I guess you could say Anarky got GUNS with his own version of the title. That's certainly not going to be fun for Hornet to attempt to grapple with. Even TTL is turning up his nose a bit. But forget all that, look at GUNS, he's focused. Even with the bus and the fanfare, GUNS is doing what he said he would do....he's here to beat Hornet senseless. I really don't think his career here in the CSWA matters to him. SB: Really? What tipped you off on that, Sherlock? Wouldn't be the numberless interviews that he's done, now would it? BB: Stuff it, Sammy. SB: When is Bugbrain coming out? I love that name. (laughs) BB: Well, actually, there seems to be a problem. SB: Oh forget it, Buckley. Hit it, Rhubarb! RJ: GUNS' opponent hails from Greensboro, North Carolina. He stands six feet five inches tall, and weighs in at two hundred sixty-nine pounds. He is a former three-time CSWA World Champion, a former CSWA Unified Champion, former two-time United States Champ, and former three-time Unified World Heavyweight Champion. He has held World Championships on more than thirty occasions, including the AAWC World and AAWC Universal Championships. He is a former JWA World, WDWF World, USWA World, USWF World, two-time EN Superleague, and UWL Superleague Champion, just to name a few. He won the ULTRATITLE Tournament in 1991. One of his greatest accomplishments was winning the original IRONMAN of CHAMPIONS to merge the CSWA Unified, AAWC World, and IWCCW World Championships into the original Unified World Title, a title which has grown over the past three years. He is also known for violent feuding with Mike Randalls, a man he lost the Unified Championship to. He entered the CSWA at its conception in March 1988, and has remained under contract since then. His friendship with America's Team partner Mark Windham is well known. He is the master of the Scorpion Deathlock, and has been called the "Franchise" wrestler of the CSWA, as well as "The Greatest American Hero." You all known him more simply as the one, the only,HORNET!!! BB: This crowd is on their feet and cheering for the former three-time Unified Champ. SB: So, where is he? BB: That's what I was trying to tell you, goof. Hornet's still flying in. SB: WHAT? He's still on a plane? Talk about excuses. That's ridiculous. I guess he couldn't even show his face. How disgraceful! BB: No, Sammy....I said he's flying in. Look! (points up) Fans at home, this crowd is on their feet as the Air Force's own Blue Angels fly by in a special formation. SB: Yeah, but where's Hornet!? BB: Right there, Sammy! SB: He's got a freakin' jetpack on!? Who does he think he is, Michael Jackson? BB: This crowd of 110,000 is on its feet as Hornet starts his descent into the FISH FUND PARK ARENA. He's at eye level with those fans in the nosebleed section right about now. SB: I can't believe it. A jetpack? Why not just swing in on a vine next time!? BB: GUNS looks almost amused inside the ring. SB: He's not worried about all this, Buckley. It's all smoke and mirrors. BB: GUNS is climbing up onto the second rope in the corner, he's daring Hornet to come down near him! SB: And Hornet, like a sucker, is taking the bait. BB: Hornet's almost directly overhead of GUNS right now, just about ten feet out of GUNS reach. Wait a second, he looks to be pulling some kind of handle. SB: Look out GUNS! It's POOP! BB: No, it's water! He just doused GUNS with a well-needed shower, apparently. SB: What in the freakin'..... BB: I guess he figured if GUNS can play games, so can he. Anyway, the 'piss' advantage has at least been nullified. GUNS looks like he's boiling over in a slow rage. Meanwhile, Hornet has landed in the aisleway, and he's being helped off with that jetpack. And there's goes GUNS after hiReferee Ben Worthington hasn't even called for the bell yet! GUNS charges down the aisle, and he just tackled Hornet to the concrete aisleway. He's beating on Hornet with those huge arms, but Hornet throwing his own punches. Ref Worthington has come down the aisleway to try and break it up, but there's no chance of that! Both men are climbing to their feet, Sammy. SB: He might as well sit back and let this one go, BB: Possibly. Just keep in mind, a disqualification in this one can send a man out of the league just as easily as a pinfall. Speaking of which, GUNS just picked up a chair, but Hornet blocks the blow and rips the chair away. He throws it down the aisleway, and now their eyes meet for the first time. And now it's Hornet's turn to start flailing away at GUNS. He scoops the big man up, belly to belly on the outside! SB: DQ! BB: I thought they needed to let it go, Sammy. Make up your mind. Hornet pulls GUNS to his feet and 'helps' him inside. This match is finally officially underway as Worthington calls for the bell. There's no time limit in this one folks, so we could be here all night. One of the matches between these two men went to a sixty-minute time limit and then to overtime before it was SB: Do I have time to grab a beer? BB: They won't sell *you* one around here, remember? Inside the ring, Hornet just sent GUNS into the ropes. GUNS ducks the big clothesline and tries to come back across with a high knee, but Hornet dodges it. Fans, we were scheduled to have "The Living Legend" Mark Windham as a guest to join us in calling this match, but obviously, he can't be with us. Instead, we're being joined by his brother, formerly known as the Muppet Kid, TimmyWindham. TW: I'm glad to be here, Bill. This match has already started off great. SB: What's this loser doing here? TW: Watch it Sammy, before I piledrive *you* into the concrete. SB: Yessir, I'm sorry sir. BB: Well, Timmy, we're glad you were able to join us. TW: Again, my pleasure, Bill. It's just like I've done for most of my life here in the CSWA, covering for my big brother when he can't take care of his own business. SB: Whoa! BB: Let's get back to the action at hand. The two men have locked up in the center of the ring for a test of strength. GUNS has the obvious upper body strength advantage, but if Hornet can use his height to get leverage.....no, GUNS quickly forces Hornet to his knees and kicks the former Unified Champ in the head. GUNS scoops Hornet into his arms and drops him with a power slam. Hornet gets to his feet quickly, but looks a little winded. TW: GUNS is already going to work on the one part of Hornet that everyone already knows is weak. SB: His head? TW: No, you idiot, his back. SB: Whatever happened to the nice Timmy Windham? The fat young kid who used to say "ME MUPPET KID." TW: He's gone with the wind, Sammy, and if you don't shut up, you're gonna be gone with a boot to the a..... BB: Let's watch the language, gentlemen. GUNS follows up his body slam by sending Hornet into the ropes, and now he sends him up and keeps him there with a gorilla press! Hornet struggles to get loose, but instead, gets dropped throat-first onto the ropes. There's goes the air supp SB: GUNS told ya he was gonna whoop Hornet's a.... BB: Don't make me say it again, Sammy. GUNS tries to follow up with a shot from that bionic knee, but Hornet quickly rolls outside. Just as quickly, Hornet's back in. GUNS pulls him up by his hair, and irish whips Hornet, no, Hornet reverses....no, GUNS is too strong, he sends Hornet into the corner. Hornet leapfrogs GUNS and comes back across with a flying forearm smash! GUNS staggers but doesn't go down! TW: GUNS has that low center of gravity....he's hard to get off his feet unless you hit him HARD. BB: Hornet whips GUNS into the corner turnbuckle and now jumps up on the second rope. He's pummeling away as the crowd counts along. SB: Stupid crowd, always goes to ten. BB: GUNS literally pushes Hornet off the ropes and to the mat. Hornet hits the mat and rolls back up to his feet. GUNS charges across for a lariat, no! Hornet drops and rolls, and GUNS wraps his arms around the steel post! GUNS may have just nailed his shoulder with that one! Hornet quickly rolls him up. ONE........no, GUNS kicks out easily. TW: GUNS is too strong for that one obviously. Looks like Hornet is trying to feel him out, see exactly how much GUNS is going to fight for this one. BB: Looks like both men are giving it their all. No tenativeness in this one, just tenacity. SB: How long did it take you to pick those out of the dictionary? BB: Timmy, feel free to slap the taste out of his mouth at anytime. TW: (slaps Sammy) What was that, Bill? SB: (climbs back into his seat) OW! What the h*ll was that for? TW: (slaps Sammy again) Uh, uh, uh, watch that mouth, Benson. BB: Hornet quickly hooks in a sleeper hold on the former EN World Champ, but GUNS quickly breaks free, once again, using the Strongest Arms In The World to power out. Is he okay, Timmy? TW: I think so. I didn't realize he might fall off the stage. Yeah, he's moving, he'll be back up in a sec. BB: Let's hope not. Standing switch by GUNS, and now he's got Hornet locked in with a figure four. Hornet quickly grabs the ropes, but GUNS just pulls back and lets go. Worthington calls for the break, but GUNS simply jerks with those huge arms and pulls Hornet into the center of the ring. TW: Hornet's gotta to stay out of that situation. He can't match power for power with GUNS...not many can. BB: But that's what he's trying to do. GUNS has that full nelson locked in tight, fingers laced behind the head of Hornet. But you can tell Hornet is trying to get out. TW: Look at those arm and chest muscles tighten. Hornet's pushing against a wall...and he's not going to move it. BB: GUNS shifts his stance, holding onto the full nelson. Hornet continues to struggle, you can see the strain on his face. The crowd is beginning to clap, letting him know their support. SB: Stupid crowd. BB: Oh Sammy, you're back. How nice. SB: Listen up you muppet freak you, if you ever so much as touch me again, I'm gonna get security up here. TW: Okay, Sammy. Whatever you say. SB: Huh? TW: I mean, whatever *she* says. (points to a woman behind Sammy) SB: YOU! I didn't mean..... Hortense: (slaps Sammy) I *told* you that I'd get you back. BB: Hornet is still trapped in the full nelson, and the claps and chants in this arena are thunderous. Hornet's not only straining with his arms and chest, but he's got his foot stomping on that mat as well. It might just be me, but it looks like GUNS may be giving way. TW: It's just you. BB: Finally, GUNS lets up on the full nelson and sends Hornet into the ropes. SIDEWALK SLAM! GUNS just nailed Hornet to the mat in the center of the ring. And now he follows up with a tombstone piledriver!Now GUNS is heading up top! Is he gonna try and come down with that knee onto Hornet!? TW: If he does, this one is over, one way or another. BB: No, GUNS is poised up top....it looks like he's going for a shoulderblock from the top rope. TW: Like I said, one way or another. BB: Hornet is slower to his feet, but he's standing up. Here comes GUNS! NO!! Hornet just caught the big man with a standing dropkick! That took a tremendous amount of wind out of both men. They're both down, and ref Ben Worthington starts the standing ten-count. TW: I've never seen two men this big collide like that. You always see smaller guys do things like that, but not 365- and 269- lb men. Uh oh, I think Sammy's moving off the floor down there again. BB: And inside the ring, so are those two former World Champs. Hornet gets to one knee first, and finally uses the ropes to pull himself up, breaking the count at seven. He quickly walks over to GUNS, and it looks like he's trying to pull the former EN Champ over into a boston crab. GUNS uses his strength and weight to block, but Hornet nails him with a series of kicks to the head and chest. Hornet goes for the boston crab again, again it's blocked by GUNS. Hornet drops the elbow and is back on his feet. He tries for it again....and he's got GUNS over. He sits back, and he's got that boston crab locked in tight! TW: You said tenacity earlier... BB: They're not quite in the center of the ring, but GUNS' height hurts him a little here....he's just not able to grab that lower rope. Wait a sec, Hornet drops one of GUNS' legs, and now he maneuvers to a half boston. TW: He let go of that leg that GUNS' had the knee surgery on. BB: The bionic one...and now he's concentrating on the normal leg. GUNS is obviously in pain, but I don't think we'll see him give. He's only submitted once in his career, and he got payback for that one at DEATH ISLAND. This is a man who wouldn't even give to the Scorpion with one bad wheel. TW: Whether he gives or not, if he doesn't get out of the hold soon, he's not going to be able to use that leg for much of anything for the rest of this match. SB: I hate that woman. TW: Oh boy, you're back. SB: You better believe it, Timtim. TW: Son, what's wrong with your face? SB: Shut up. BB: He's right, Sammy, it's all black and blue. SB: Shut up! BB: Hornet still has the half crab cinched in, but GUNS is starting to force him up a little. GUNS has got one arm, now make that two, under him, and he's starting to pull his way toward the ropes, using that phenomenal arm strength. He's got the ropes, and Worthington calls for the break. Hornet gives a clean break and Worthington makes him step back. GUNS is slow getting to his feet, testing out that leg that's been stuck in the half boston. SB: Shut up! BB: And, may I ask, what was that for? SB: Oh, sorry. BB: GUNS is on his feet. He's slow out of the corner, but once again, the two men lock up in the center of the ring. Go behind by Hornet, there's a belly to back suplex. Hornet is back to his feet, and GUNS is slow to follow. Hornet heads into the ropes. Discus punch! That's one we haven't seen from Hornet in a while! GUNS goes down to one knee, but he's quickly back up. There's a rake to the eyes by GUNS. He quickly follows.....power slam! TW: GUNS is about to go on a tear... BB: GUNS follows up with a sidewalk slam. He's still limping on that good leg, but it hasn't stopped him from drastically changing the momentum in this one. GUNS pulls Hornet up and now he lifts him onto his shoulder. But Hornet rolls through and lands behind GUNS before the former EN Champ can go for the powerbomb. Hornet quickly hooks in the abdominal stretch. GUNS tries to nail Hornet by going around with an elbow, but Hornet's already got that back leg hooked. He's got it set in, and for the third time in this match, we've got one man locked in a painful submission-type maneuver. TW: Neither one has really gone for broke yet. We saw GUNS go for a big move early, but Hornet was able to block it. Sooner rather than later one of these men isn't gonna have anymore to give. SB: You mean like your dad? TW: Benson, I should tear your head off for that. But instead, I'm just gonna lump it on to the punishment I already owe my 'big brother.' Yeah right, big brother my butt. SB: Just a little bitter, are we? TW: I'M NOT BITTER. BB: Come on, guys, back to the matter at hand here. There may not be a rallying cry from the fans for GUNS to break out, but TTL is starting to get very, very vocal down there. Is he seeing something we're not? Anyway, the words from TTL work, and GUNS is able to force Hornet to release the hold. GUNS quickly uses those big arms to his advantage, hooking Hornet in a headlock. But Hornet wraps one arm under that knee of GUNS that he had in the boston crab, and one arm around the waist. GUNS tries to hold on, but Hornet lifts him up, and then brings him down hard on that knee. It's got to be hurting. Hornet takes him up and down one more time. And there's one more.....but this time Hornet takes him all the way over with a belly to back suplex. Hornet goes to hook the leg, but GUNS is able to grab the ropes, and then just as quickly roll out side. TW: He needs a 'time out' to walk that knee out. And I'm sure TTL has some words of wisdom. BB: TTL is right at his side as GUNS limps some, trying to work that knee. But here comes Hornet! He just got by Worthington, and now he comes outside! TW: He better be careful, it's two-on-one out there. BB: Hornet is all over GUNS, and rams his head into the metal railing. TTL had stepped back for a moment, but now Hornet turns his attention toward the manager. TTL is backing away, but slowly. Hornet better watch out as GUNS gets back to his feet! SB: If Hornet touches TTL, he better be disqualified. The man's a manager for goodness' sakes. BB: Yeah, coming from a former manager, I wouldn't expect any less. GUNS is up, and he nails Hornet with an axehandle blow to the back. Hornet is dropped to his knees, and GUNS quickly scoops him up. He's pressing Hornet over his head!!! And now he throws Hornet back into the ring, over the top rope! TW: Talk about power....geez. BB: You saw the clip in the video earlier folks, where GUNS threw Hornet over the top when he was behind in the match. This time, he throws Hornet BACK into the ring over the top. Talk about irony. TW: That's my line. BB: GUNS rolls back inside, and he's starting to take over on Hornet. Scoop slam by GUNS, but Hornet gets back to his feet. GUNS is ready....DDT! SB: Say good night! BB: Hornet's getting to his feet though. GUNS grabs him by his hair and whips Hornet across the ring. GUNS looks like he's setting up for something....but Hornet nails him with a flying dropkick! Both men are up, Hornet tries for a belly to back, but GUNS reverses, SIDEWALK SLAM! Now GUNS is going for it all....CROSSFACE CHICKEN WING! TW: He's going for the submission here! And it looks like he could very well get it! Hornet is in trouble! SB: (singing) Oh happy day.... BB: Shut up Sammy. GUNS has it locked in, and once again, Hornet looks like he's using every muscle in his body to try and get out of the maneuver. That's his only hope, since he's nowhere near the ropes. TW: This crowd is on its feet, Bill. I've never seen anything like it. BB: Marvin, get a shot of this crowd of over 110,000. It's standing room only, and most of these fans are chanting Hornet's name right now. TW: Hornet's still fighting, but this maneuver is part hammerlock, part chinlock, and part hooking the legs. It's an awesome hold. BB: GUNS changes his stance a little, he's trying to drop Hornet down closer to the mat, but the former Unified Champ is fighting back. Ref Ben Worthington asks Hornet if he wants to submit, but Hornet shakes his head vigorously. The clapping in this arena is mounting, and as is does, it looks like Hornet may be making his move. GUNS looks like he's trying to fend off the comeback, but it may be too late. Hornet has broken free!!! GUNS grabs him and tries to drop him with a swinging neckbreaker, but gets pushed away! Arm whip by Hornet...CRUCIFIX. Hornet goes up and pulls GUNS around and over. Hornet goes for a full nelson, but GUNS quickly breaks free. Hornet with a kick to the midsection, and now there's a belly to belly suplex. SB: I'm going to be sick. BB: Hornet sends GUNS into the ropes, there's a flip flop, a modified version of a Frank 'n Parsons. Hornet pulls GUNS up, and catches him with a series of heart kicks to the chest. SB: Where else would heart kicks be, Buckley? TW: I can slap him again any time that you'd like, Bill. SB: I promise, I'll be good. BB: Thanks, Timmy. Again, GUNS is whipped into the ropes....Hornet dives to the mat, forces GUNS to leap over him and come off the other side. Hornet up, and he powers GUNS up over his head in his own bench press slam. Hornet walks around the ring, and drops GUNS neck-first onto the ropes with the super slam! SB: Do I have to watch this? BB: Hornet doesn't allow GUNS to roll outside, although TTL looks like he'd give anything for a time out right here. Hornet pulls GUNS up and sends him into the turnbuckle! TW: Here it comes. SB: Here goes my lunch. BB: Hornet comes across.....HORNET SPLASH!!!! This crowd has gone wild! And the furor intensifies, because here comes the SCORPION DEATHLOCK in the middle of the ring! TW: Deja vu for GUNS. BB: Hornet has it hooked in, and it's been a while since I've seen that look of intensity in his eyes. He's getting the 'payback' he said he wanted right here. Ref Ben Worthington is asking GUNS if he wants to give, but GUNS shakes his head and buries it into his forearm. TW: I've been in that hold before, and I can tell you, there's nothing else quite like it. You can't power your way out once it's locked in, and it feels like your legs and back are about to snap like twigs. SB: Thanks for the insight, goofball. BB: We're into the second minute of the Scorpion Deathlock here....knowing these two men, we could here for days. Because we know GUNS isn't going to give it up, and there's no way Hornet's going to let up without winning this match. Remember, there's no time limit here. SB: So you're saying I have time to run grab a beer? TW: Hornet's going to have to look at getting the pin eventually, but the longer GUNS is in the Scorpion, the longer time it'll take for his to get back to his feet, if he's able to at all. SB: Hey Windham, you're the guest, how about you go buy a couple of brewskies? BB: TTL has jumped up on the apron, and he's yelling at Worthington. I don't know what he's got up his sleeve....anyway, Worthington is finally able to talk him off the mat. The Scorpion's still locked in, and GUNS isn't answering Worthington's questions. TW: He could be out, Buckley. If there's enough pain administered, the body can shut down. SB: So now you're Dr. Windham? I thought you were raised in a circus by muppets? TW: Sammy, I can always go back to the back and find Space God if I need to. SB: No you can't, I retired him. TW: Sammy, have you ever heard of "The Clear," my finishing maneuver. SB: Oh my Lord. Buckley, protect me. BB: Ref Worthington raises GUNS's massive arm once, and it falls to the mat. He does it a second time, and again, it falls. TW: One more time, and GUNS is out of the CSWA once and for all. BB: Wait a second, Hornet just released the Scorpion. Worthington looks confused as well. But it looks like Hornet's headed up top! SB: Doesn't the man know when to quit? BB: Hornet's climbing the ropes. The fans are chanting something... SB: "Hornet Drools." BB: Cute, Sammy, very cute. Hornet comes off the top, SHOOTING STAR PRESS! This crowd is electrified! Worthington drops to the mat to count the pin, but Hornet pulls GUNS back up! Look at GUNS' face, the man is out on his feet. Worthington's got to think about stopping this one. Hornet whips GUNS across the ring and into the turnbuckle. About halfway across, GUNS's leg buckles, and he falls into a sitting position in the corner. SB: At least there can't be a Hornet Splash. BB: Don't be so sure, Hornet just went over into the corner and pulls GUNS up. He backs up across the ring and comes across.....HORNET SPLASH! Hornet pulls off of GUNS, and the big man crashes to the mat. Again, GUNS pulls Hornet up, and again he sends him across. This time, GUNS hits chest-first into the turnbuckle on the other side. Here comes Hornet. HORNET SPLASH! TW: The crowd is calling for another one! BB: But Worthington is talking to Hornet, he's telling him not to do it again. But Hornet pulls GUNS out and whips him across again. Worthington's telling Hornet not to do it, but Hornet is backing up. Worthington is standing directly in front of GUNS.....Hornet's telling the senior referee to move. SB: Disqualify him! BB: Hornet just walked over to Worthington. It looks like he just told the senior referee that he's coming across, and that Worthington better get out of the way. He backs up.....he's coming across! TW: What's TTL doing on the apron!!!!!?????? BB: HORNET SPLASH! OHMYLORD!!!! Hornet just sailed into the ring post!!! Worthington is down....it looks like Hornet caught him as he was moving out of the way. And GUNS....well GUNS is down on the ring apron. TTL pulled him out of the corner! SB: I didn't see that. BB: No, but the rest of the 110,000 or so of us in this arena did, Sammy. This crowd is turning angry very quickly. And now they're screaming at TTL as he climbs into the ring. Hornet has fallen out of the corner and is down in the center of the ring. TTL turns him over, and now he's dragging GUNS across. Hornet's grabbing his head.....he's split open and looks hurt badly. TTL just draped GUNS' arm over Hornet's chest. TW: This can't happen. BB: Now TTL jumps down off the apron, and he's shaking referee Ben Worthington back to life. Worthington seems conscious, but he's doesn't have any idea what's going on. TW: That's more than we can say for GUNS! BB: Worthington's rolling back over. Come on, Hornet, get up! SB: And you say I'm biased? TW: This is a travesty, if it happens. BB: Worthington checks the shoulders.......he's gonna count the pin. ONE.................................... TWO---------------------------------------------------- BB: THREEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Worthington's gonna award this match to GUNS! The crowd is furious, they're yelling at the referee. Hornet is climbing to his feet, but it appears he's too late! He's asking Worthington what happened.....Hornet looks like he's in shock. TW: He's got reason to be. GUNS is still lying in the middle of the ring unconscious. BB: And it looks like Hornet is pointing that out. Rhubarb, do we have an official decision? RJ: Ladies and gentlemen, the winner of the match is "The Strongest Arms In The World" GUNS! Under the rules of the match, Hornet is now out of the CSWA. BB: Somebody's got to reverse this decision. Come on. Wait a second, CS Enterprises certainly had to have seen this from their skybox.... they've got to do something about this. ============================================================ (Cut to skybox) Merritt: Well, the dice were wrong again. You owe me twenty bucks. Thomas: But I did the special roll, I was sure it would be right this time. Merritt: I've told you over and over again, you can't predict what's gonna happen. Thomas: I guess you're right. ==================================================== BB: Fans, this crowd is chanting a word that I can't utter on television. TTL has climbed into the ring, and he's trying to get GUNS out. Hornet has gone over to one of our technical staff down there, and it looks like they're showing him something. Hornet just tore back into the ring, and he's all over TTL! TW: That must've been the replay! BB: Hornet sends TTL into the turnbuckle....HORNET SPLASH!!! TTL is down, but he quickly rolls outside. He's leaving his man in here for dead. Hornet could end GUNS' career right here if he decides to. TW: Wouldn't be the first time, now would it? BB: Sammy, you've been awful quiet. SB: Shut up, Buckley. BB: Are those tears in your eyes? Fans, it looks like Hornet's got the ring mic....this crowd just went silent. Hornet's gonna say something... (inside the ring) Hornet: Ladies and gentlemen, you heard the announcer down here, and you saw the decision made by ref Worthington. I could stand here before you and utter an official protest....I just saw the replay. But the fact is this, GUNS just did something that he hasn't ever been able to do before...he pinned my shoulders to the mat for a three-count. And that means that I'm out of a league that I've wrestled in for over eight years now. No excuses, no reversals. This card will go down in the history books as a loss for me, fans. There won't be an asterisk next to it, there won't be any excuses written in there for me. (plants one foot on GUNS' back) But I want everyone to stand here and take a real close look at who the winner is in this ring. There's one man standing, and there's one man who hasn't been able to move under his own power for the last five minutes. (takes foot off GUNS, climbs and sits on top turnbuckle) I told all of you weeks ago, many times, that I'd wrestle this match clean. Unfortunately, that's something I haven't done a whole lot of lately. But you know the reasons behind that....and you've stuck by me. I thank you for that. I thank all of you who have stood beside me in this ring for the last eight years, whether it's been in the CSWA, the AAWC, the UWL, or any of the other leagues I've participated in. Because that's where you've always been, right here with me as I've wrestled in this sport. And that's meant more to me than all the awards, all the championships, and all the money. I don't know what else to say, except this. You all saw what happened tonight, and you'll all make your own conclusions. Obviously I didn't want this to happen....but sometimes in life, things don't go your way. I've had a terrific run here......I won my first World Titles here, and I wrestled the bulk of my matches here. I've been given the honor of meeting and competing with the best talent that the wrestling world has ever had to offer. The wrestling world has changed since I entered it almost nine years ago. Leagues I wrestled in have appeared and disappeared, but there's always been one constant. Ever since I stepped into what would become the Merritt Auditorium for my first match in 1988, the CSWA has been around. It has served as my home in this wrestling world, and it is where my heart is. There has never been a top gun in the wrestling world that hasn't set foot in a CSWA ring, and I think I've tried to face them all in the hundreds of matches I've wrestled. Whether it was GUNS, Tom Adler, Mike Randalls, or even Mark Windham, I've wrestled them. I've tried to help out young wrestlers like Wildstar, MJ Dean, Paul Pierce and others. And yes, the CSWA has changed as well. It went from being a small local promotion, well, to what you've seen here tonight. This enormous arena is full, in a show that's outgrossed any other in North America, and as far as I know, anywhere else. I know that CS Enterprises has been criticized by other promoters for allowing young talent to thrive and flourish here. But you know, GUNS was once called a 'glorified jobber' too, by some of the same people who praised him later. At one point, all of us who step in this ring have had to start careers. Some climb faster than others, and some don't climb at all.....but others fall as well. Hornet: I hope you'll indulge me as I mention a few memories. In 1988, I wrestled one of the biggest matches of my young career against Monte Farriss, another young wrestler. It was for the United States Championship, and I lost it. But that match groomed me for what was to happen later. In all the time I've wrestled, in all the matches I've won, that match taught me how to lose. It was a lesson that I've tried to avoid every time I've stepped in the ring since. In 1989, I wrestled one of the toughest matches in my career, and I lost. Wall, a man that some of you younger fans have probably never heard of, stepped into the ring and pinned me to the mat, without the help of Ray S. Cornette. I lost the CSWA World Title in that match, and it took an even longer and tougher match to win that title back, but I did it. That match taught me tenacity, that as long as I stuck to it, I could get the job done. In early 1995, I wrestled another of the toughest matches I've ever had. Mike Randalls and I went to the limit and threw everything we had at each other, including a few chairs and an electrified cage. A few nights later, Randalls was the more healthy and the better man, pinning my shoulders to the mat for the Unified World Title. I was only able to get that title back by beating Steven Flair months later. That experience taught me that weakness is the greatest flaw a wrestler can have. At Thanksgiving in 1995, the world clamored for its two top wrestlers to step into the ring against each other once again. I beat Tom Adler that night, in a match that was full of controversy and interference. But for the fifteen minutes or so before that, it was my pleasure to wrestle in what had the potential to be one of the greatest matches of all time. Last night at WAR GAMES, I helped my team win another of the most brutal matches of all time. My only regret in leaving the CSWA is that I leave Mark Windham to the wolves, to those people who think that without me by his side, that he's an easy target. Believe me, Mark is no easy target. He's the toughest man I know. And my matches with him have taught me that, along with the nine years that I've spent working with him, and the even longer time I've spent as his friend. In October 1993, I won the first IRONMAN of CHAMPIONS, defeating Flic Rair, Joey Melton, and others of the top wrestlers in the world at the time, to merge the CSWA title and other World Championships I held with those of my competitors. That created the Unified Championship. Since that day, I've felt more of a responsibility to the wrestling world and to you fans on my shoulders. The Unified Title isn't around my waist anymore....it may never be again. But that night, with a huge crowd cheering for me, the largest I had ever been in front of to that point, I learned what an impact I had, and what impact I could have. From that night on, I've wrestled for more than just myself, my family, and the CSWA fans....I wrestled for all wrestling fans who supported me, for all that they had done for me. (Hornet stops for a moment, choked up, and covers his face with his hands) Hornet: (removes hands) Thanks for the memories, fans. I hope I've given some to you as well. And I hope I haven't let you down. I don't know exactly what happened here tonight....(pauses) I won't say goodbye. Good night, and God bless. BB: Hornet has just walked out of the ring, and he's going into the crowd. He's trying to shake the hand of each and every fan as he leaves this arena, and he may be here all night he he tries to. But that would just be another average night at work for that man. Unfortunately, it's also his last. TW: The paramedics are finally coming down to tend to GUNS, Bill. I just can't believe what's happened here tonight. BB: I've never seen a match and its aftermath like this one. And I've never seen a crowd this emotional. There's only one more thing to show the fans at home....and that's this overfilled-capacity crowd chanting one man's name, as he tries to give back to them everything that they've given to him. Fans, for the CSWA's FISH FUND XI, I'm Bill Buckley. For Timmy Windham and Sammy Benson, goodnight. Sammy, are you gonna be alright? (close to black) FISH FUND XI: END OF AN ERA (We hope you've enjoyed the card. Special thanks have to go out to AJ Honold, who has done a tremendous job not only with parts of FISH FUND XI, but with the CSWA in general, as everything has continued to play out. Thanks also to Bob Ryder for his involvement in FFXI and previously. And also, be sure to welcome back CSWA VP Gregg Gethard to the league. Look for more notes regarding FISH FUND XI and upcoming cards, as well as the updated CSWA Web Pages (updated later tonight) at: http://pages.prodigy.com/cswa/cswa.htm.)
