(It's Saturday night, April 11, 1998. The scene fades in on the lawn in front of the Merritt Auditorium, centering on the stone sculpture of the CSWA logo. All of a sudden, a midget dressed in blue appears on top of the logo.) Midget: You thought Merritt got rid of all of us, didn't you? Well, we just thought we'd show our appreciation to Commissioner Thomas and the league that has made us what we are. A one, two, one two three..... (The theme from the Splash Mountain ride, "Zipadeedoodah" begins playing, as twenty midgets begin dancing around the logo and singing) Zip a dee doo dah (The song changes)
(The midgets have now formed the number "10" below the CSWA logo and begin a new song) Who's the king of the wrestling world (All of a sudden, sprinklers come on and the midgets begin scattering. The camera pans across the lawn to the environmental controls, where Sammy Benson is standing.) SB: I think that's just about enough of that. One was enough.... (Voiceover: The following presentation is brought to you by U-62 in conjunction with CS Enterprises.) (Camera fades in to a quite large man in his early forties, sitting in the upper deck of the Merritt Auditorium) Beauford Parsons: Ten years ago, I stepped through the ropes here as a masked man named Dark Knight. It didn't look quite like it does now. It was a converted warehouse on this same site. Two young promoters had put together a card featuring a tournament for their 'World' title. I stepped in the ring against a young man who had never been in a professional match before. Naturally, I beat him. I never went on to hold the World Title....it was in tag team action that I found my niche in the young league called the CSWA. Hard to imagine that ten years later, the world would now know me without the mask, and that young man who called himself Hornet would have gone on to become what he has. Or for that matter, that the CSWA would go on to become what it is....the wrestling league that carried a new era in the sport. (Camera fades out and then into a man in his late thirties, sitting on a couch at his home) Joey Melton: A decade, huh? Ten years since I secured my first world title, taking out Windham and then the fat pig. The beginning of the legend that is "Arrogance." World Titles around the world, the CSWA Unified Title, seven-time Intracontinental, multi-time World and Unified Tag Champ. And that's what got me all this (he gestures around the house). Ten years later, and I could still take anybody in the world. Ten years later, and the CSWA's like me, a little older, a little wiser, and still the best. Kristi, could you bring me a drink! (Camera fades out and then fades back into the Merritt Auditorium, finding a man sitting on the top turnbuckle) Hornet: Would you believe that ten years ago, Mark Windham actually had to drag me here? And even then, I got beaten twice before I got my first win. It's amazing if you think about the talent that's come through this building, the matches that it's held. A short walk from here, the rooms containing the Hall of Fame are back in the recesses of this place. You can see belts of gold, statues of iron and bronze, plaques and more. But that's not what this place is about. It's about these empty seats, and the men and women that fill them. It's about this empty ring, and the men that step into it. It's about ten years of blood, sweat, and tears that have been shed in this ring, in the dressing rooms, in the stands. When you think of names like Windham, Randalls, Tyler, GUNS, Flair, York, Karelin, Parsons, Adler, Melton, you think of this place and what it embodies. (fade out) (fade in: it's the Summer of 1991, the CSWA is on its second "PRIMETIME Pooljam" tour on the Parsons Cruise Liner) Ray S. Cornette: (somewhere in the Pacific, away from the Crusie Liner) Yes, ma'am, it's all taken care of. Lord Thunder radioed here to our ship and said that the plan is set...no, only a minor problem. Well, Windham walked in on them, but the took care of him...Right, Thunder, MG and Terminator will steal a lifeboat soon and we'll pick them up...After this, the CSWA will be ours! No, of course, I mean YOURS! (Back on the Cruise Liner) Hornet: Alright, I've searched every floor except the lowest deck. But why would Mark be down there...unless something happened to him. But who? Cornette's not here, and he's the only one who would be after Mark. Well, he's gotta be here somewhere...the only other place is in the engine room... (In the engine room, a gagged Mark Windham sits tied to a chair. Just minutes ago, Terminator, MG and Lord Thunder of Ray S. Cornette's CORPORATION beat up the US Champion after he followed them down the hall. He had been right, they were up to something. They stopped up the boiler after tying him up, then ran off to get a lifeboat and meet up with Cornette. Windham could feel the steam from the overheating boiler. "Help!," Windham thought. It couldn't be much longer until the boiler exploded...and it would take the entire ship with it.) (As Hornet comes down the stairs to the engine level, smoke begins to sting his eyes, becoming thicker and thicker as he reaches the final step. He quickly pulls a fire alarm located in the nearby wall. Alarms begin sounding throughout the ship.) Hornet: MARK! Mark, are you down here? (Hearing no answer, Hornet continues toward the boiler room. As he open the door, heated steam plasters his hair to his head. Through the steam and smoke, he can barely see two things....first, the raging fire at the far end along with the stopped boiler, secondly, his friend tied to a chair just eight feet away from the impending explosion. Hornet rushes over to the chair, quickly untying and pulling his friend toward the door.) Hornet: What happened? Mark: Cornette's goons. I found them setting this little trap. Apparently they think if they can knock off a few CSWA employees that Cornette will be in a position to take things for himself. Hornet: We've gotta get out of here. From the looks of things, it can't be long before the whole ship goes up. (The two men rush up the stairs to the crew level, up another flight to the lowest passenger level, then another, and another, and another until they finally reach the main deck. Smoke is billowing out of the nearest stack as Hornet rushes to one side, Mark to the other, looking for anyone.) Hornet: Nobody over here. Windham: Same here, not even a lifeboat. (As they're talking, fire blasts out of the main smokestack.) Hornet: I don't think we've got much time. Windham: They couldn't have gone that far in the lifeboats... Hornet. Let's go forward and see if there's anything left up there. (Windham grabs a life preserver as they walk up to the foredeck. Another rumble in the ship marks the imminent explosion.) Hornet: I don't think we've got any more time....I guess it's sink or swim. Windham: Well then...let's do it. On three.... (Both men climb up onto the rail) Both: One..........two...............................THREE!!! (As they dive, the Cruise Liner boiler exploded, shooting superheated steam, fire, and debris through the smokestacks. As the picture of the ship is shown exploding...the debris flies into the camera.....showing:)
(The camera pans down to Windham and Hornet in the water, hanging on to the life preserver as flaming debris falls down around them...then fades out.) BB: Ladies and gentlemen, I'm Bill Buckley. And I'd like to welcome you to the Merritt Auditorium, the home of the CSWA for the last ten years. This building has come a long way from the converted warehouse it was in April 1988. It now houses an 18,000 seat arena, training facilities, corporate offices, and this (he gestures around), the CSWA Hall of Fame. Before we begin the event, we thought we'd offer you this special countdown. With the help of the audience in the packed arena....Sammy, are we ready? SB: (in the arena) I think so, Sammy. Are you spudheads ready? (crowd screams) BB: We now bring you...a very special countdown to ANNIVERSARY. Hit it, Sammy. Crowd: TEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (TV wall shows the final "SKYDOME" match with Bill Parsons rolling up Mickey Benedict after a frankn'parsons maneuver at "Remembering Mickey V," August 9, 1992) Crowd: NINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (The TV wall changes scenes, showing pieces of the WHEEL of DEATH match from Super Bowl Blast '95. Hornet, Mark Windham, and Mike Randalls scrambling down through the three-tiered cage as the WHEEL OF DEATH begins spinning. Members of the Corporation are attached to the WHEEL as it spins faster and faster.) BB: WILDSTAR attacked Hornet with a chair!!!!! Windham hooks the claw on and slams Wildstar into the WHEEL while EOD and Randalls begin to hook him in! Hornet is on his feet, grimacing in severe pain. He hobbles over to the WHEEL and delivers a hard right hand, his parting shot to Wildstar as the WHEEL begins to move!!! Three men are hooked in, and now the other four men on the WHEEL level have got to get down! Windham has Hornet draped over his shoulders and he heads down first. HEAT has already gotten down to the bottom level! The WHEEL is gaining momentum, and the fire has started to shoot out of it!!! Yakazuma, Roiter, and Wildstar can't be heard over the screams of the fans as the WHEEL spins at 45 mph!!!! The winners of the match are Mike Randalls, Mark Windham, and Hornet!!!! Crowd: EIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Again, the TV wall shifts scenes, showing the end of the ULTRATITLE Tournament Finals in 1994. Joey Melton is forced to release the Figure Four leglock on the legs of Hornet as he grabs the ropes. But Joey pulls Hornet to his feet, drops him in the middle of the ring with a DDT, and hooks the leg to the get win, and his second ULTRATITLE Championship victory.) Crowd: SEVEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (The scene shows the ELVIS LIVES CELEBRATION VII: Memphis Misery logo from August 1993. It shifts, showing Arrogance vs. Crazy Like A Muppet for the World Tag Team Titles. Steven Flair belly-to-belly suplexes Timmy Windham from the top rope; but the youngster is able to roll to his corner and tag in a fresh P. Vicious. Vicious charges in and clotheslines Steven Flair, then quickly hooks in a Scorpion Deathlock!!! The scene shifts to two minutes later, as Vicious comes off the top rope with the "Pearl of the Orient" getting the three-count, and giving CLAM their first reign as World Tag Team Champions.) Crowd: SIX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (TV wall shows Hornet vs. Randalls in a steel cage at WINTER'S WARRIORS VI in 1995) BB: JW Collins of FULL FORCE, still outside the ring throws a two-by-four into the ring!!!! Troutman is still down! Randalls catches the two-by-four, but this time Hornet is ready!! But it doesn't matter! Instead of going for the back, Randalls catches Hornet full in the knee with the block of wood!!! Hornet goes down grasping his knee, and Randalls follows up with a huge shot to Hornet's back! But he doesn't stop there, he delivers another couple of shots to Hornet's back for good measure! Now he throws the two-by-four back over the cage, and he's working on getting Troutman to his feet. But Hornet staggers to his knees and pulls Randalls away from Troutman. Randalls pulls Hornet to his feet and sends him into the ropes. There's another big clothesline by Randalls. Again, Randalls pulls Hornet to his feet. He's got a handful of hair, and now he's just taunting Hornet. Randalls: You want more, punk? Are you ready to end this charade? I AM the Unified Champ. You are NOTHING!! I am the DARKNESS! And you can't defeat me!!! BB: Randalls back suplexes Hornet into the mat. Ref Troutman still isn't on his feet, although it looks like he's stirring. It may not matter, except to save Hornet's career! Randalls DDTs Hornet into the mat, and once again he pulls him to his feet and yells at him! Randalls: GIVE IT UP! I want to hear you say "I quit." Say it! You know who the man is! Give in to the fear that I see in your eyes. It's OVER!!! SAY IT! Say "I quit!" Hornet: Never. BB: Randalls sends Hornet down again with another DDT! MR: SAY IT! H: Never. BB: There's another DDT! How much of this can Hornet take!? SB: I LOVE IT! MR: SAY IT! H: What do you want me to say? MR: SAY "I QUIT!" NOW! H: YOU........STINK!!! BB: Randalls is stunned for a second, but again he delivers a DDT, slamming Hornet into the mat. MR: I am the Darkness!!! And you'll either say it or I'll make it so you never say anything again! H: I know of only one way to get rid of darkness. And that's with a little bit of light. Hit it Marvin! SB: What the...? Why's he talking to Marvin Parsons? BB: Hornet whips Randalls into the mat! Randalls comes off with a clothesline ready, but Hornet dodges it! SB: What was that noise? What has he done? BB: Hornet grabs Randalls as he comes off the ropes again, and he throws Randalls over the ropes into the cage! SB: What are those sparks!!!???? BB: THE STEEL CAGE IS ELECTRIFIED! HORNET HAD THE ELECTRICITY TURNED BACK ON!!!! RANDALLS IS BEING ELECTROCUTED!!!! SB: Is that smoke coming from his head? BB: Randalls falls off the cage. Hornet pulls the shaking EN Champ to his feet and whips him into the turnbuckle! HORNET SPLASH!!!!!! BB: Hornet pulls Ref Troutman to his feet! SB: He's going to hook in the scorpion! Randalls is still shaking! BB: No, Hornet climbs to the top rope again!!! SHOOTING STAR PRESS!!!! Troutman has no idea what's going on! He counts the cover! ONE.......TWO.......THREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FULL FORCE rushes to the door of the cage to tell Troutman what has happened. Apparently the cage has been turned off again. Troutman consults with another official at ringside, and then he checks on Randalls. He raises his arm once, twice, three times, and Randalls arm falls, shaking, to the mat. Here's the final decision. RJ: By virtue of winning two of the three falls, the winner and STILL UNIFIED WORLD CHAMPION is HORNET!!!!!!! BB: Hornet is the winner of this match! He has defeated Mike Randalls. But Miles and Collins are all over him. They're taking Hornet to town. He may have won the match, but they want to make sure he won't have another!!! Collins is holding Hornet on the mat, as Miles comes off with a leg drop from the top onto Hornet's back!!! OH MAN! They nailed it! But here comes Mark Windham! And there's Timmy Windham and the Mexican Muppet from the another dressing room! FULL FORCE grabs the now-conscious Mike Randalls and drags him out of the steel cage. What a night! Crowd: FIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (TV Wall shows Hornet and Mark Windham in their second meeting for the CSWA Unified Title at LAST CALL on May 20, 1993) SP: Again, Hornet climbs the turnbuckles, and again he soared off with a reverse moonsault! One....Two...no!!! I can't believe Marky Mark didn't go down for the count! Hornet must be in a flying mood, because he travels again to the top. There's another reverse moonsault! The cover, this could be it! One......Two..... Thre...no!!! Hornet grabs Carl Young! Hornet: (yelling) You dumb twit!! Can't you count! One...Two...Three. You know, three comes after two and before four! Goodness, you've gotta be a Parsons. Stupid man, can't count to three, falls off the apron... (moments later) SP: Mark Windham just knee-ed Hornet from behind...Hornet hits Carl, sending the referee into the iron post! DW: Goodnight! SP: Not again! Windham has the cover. One....Two....Three, but no one's there. Mark goes over to Young, grabs Carl and starts to shake him. Mark shakes his head and turns around, and is nailed by a shooting star press!!! Mark's head hit the back of the turnbuckle! One.....Two....Three...Four...Five...Six... DW: Hornet has Mark pinned!!! What's going on, can't any ref make a call? (moments later) SP: Mark Windham is back in the ring and Hornet still looks groggy. Mark has him up in a bridge suplex! Carl rolls over! ONE....................TWO......................THREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mark Windham is the new champion. Here's the official word! Rhubarb Jones: (to Carl) What's the call? Carl Young: Mark won, no Hornet won, no Mark, ahhh, I don't know, they were both on the mat. RJ: We need a ruling! You know idiot, this is for the WORLD Title! Make up your mind! CY: The winner is....the winner is...uh...hummm..oh..How am I supposed to know? The match is a draw... (Mark and Hornet run over) MW: What!!! Draw? Look peon, make up your mind, who won!! It's not that hard. H: Come on, you can do it. Come on... CY: I'm sorry guys, wiat a minute, I can't breathe. MW: You must the the worst ref ever. Here pal, take an enema. CY: I'm serious, I can't breathe. H: There's no time for this, the World belt is on the line! CY: I.......can't.......breathe. MW: (grabbing his wrist) What's this? Carl Young...Heart condition? H: Whoops... MW: Nobody saw anything. You weren't here. Everybody out of the pool! Crowd: FOUR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (The wall shows the biggest triangle match ever...for the Enterprise World Title at SuperPRIMETIME: Tribute to Martin Luther King Jr. from January 1996) BB: Mark waiting for GUNS to make it back to his feet, and he could be looking to end it all.....HE GOES FOR THE GERMAN SUPLEX....YES! That's GOT TO BE IT.....ONE, TWO, THREE......NO! GUNS POWERED OUT OF THE BRIDGE! I can't believe it, and neither can Mark Windham....he's INCENSED, and he's berating Ben Worthington....he thought he had GUNS pinned! (moments later) BB: You ain't kidding....THERE GOES THE HORN, and HERE COMES RANDALLS! Randalls waisting NO TIME, he's charging down to the ring with the EN World Championship in tow! He drops the belt down, and rolls into the ring, MARK'S ALL OVER HIM! Mark STOMPING Randalls in the head, he pulls Randalls up to his feet....AND HITS AN IMPLANT! I DON'T BELIEVE IT! Randalls might be done already! Windham drops down for a cover....ONE, TWO, ALMOST A THREE COUNT! I don't know how Randalls ever managed to kick out of that one! SB: They're forgetting about GUNS, though! He's back to his feet! BB: That's right, Sammy, Mark Windham and Mike Randalls are brawling in the center of the ring, and they've forgotten all about GUNS, who's on the outside....GUNS in the ring, and he taps Mark on the shoulder....HE SMALL PACKAGES MARK WINDHAM! ONE, TWO, THREE!!! GUNS PINNED MARK! It's down to Randalls and GUNS for the EN Championship! Interesting to note that Randalls didn't break up the pinfall there! (minutes later) BB: Randalls not going for the cover this time, he's pulling GUNS into the center of the ring! SB: He's going for the DEVASTATOR! If he hooks this, you can forget about it....there's NO WAY that GUNS will be able to take the pressure on his good knee! BB: Randalls goes for the DEVASTATOR....HE'S GOT IT! He's got it locked in the center of the ring on GUNS....BUT WAIT, GUNS JUST POWERED OUT! Randalls up to his feet, he can't believe it! He's back off the ropes.....FLYING BODYPRESS, GUNS MAKES THE CATCH.....AND POWERSLAM! ONE, TWO, THREE!!! IT'S OVER! We've got a NEW ENTERPRISES WORLD CHAMPION! For the SECOND time, GUNS has won it! He's taken out BOTH Mark Windham and Mike Randalls to win the match! Crowd: THREE!!!!!!!!!!!! (The TV wall begins showing clips from the Career Match, Hornet vs. GUNS at FISH FUND XI: September 1996) (The arena lights up, as over 110,000 fans rise to their feet to watch. The video begins, shows the words, CAREER MATCH, on the screen) 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 coming too, and TTL is sliding off the apron!!! Referee Ben Worthington rolls over and he sees the cover!!! Oh no! He's gonna count it! ONE!!!!!!!!!!!! TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This can't be happening!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 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. Crowd: TWO!!!!!!!!!! (The TV Wall cuts to CSWA ANNIVERSARY 1989, the one-year celebration of the CSWA as CSWA World Champion Wall defends in a rematch against Hornet.) (Voiceover from Bill Buckley's commentary of the match as clips are shown) BB: We've hit the ninety minute mark in this match, fans. These two competitors have slowed down, but they continue to slug it out. If this were a boxing match, we'd be nearing the end of the thirtieth round.CSWA World Champion Wall goes in against Hornet, but Hornet catches him with an elbow. The former World Champion goes into the ropes and comes off with that famous flying forearm....but the current World Champion catches him!!! BOULEVARD SIDEWALK SLAM!!!

Hornet hits the ropes and comes back across with a flying dropkick!!! Wall goes down, and Hornet follows with a brainbuster!!! He's got the CSWA World Champ down in the center of the ring!

We've got a line up that could be called a quadruple MAIN EVENT.....both the CSWA World Championship and the Unified Tag Team Championships will be decided tonight, and that's just the tip of the iceberg. Before we get the action kicked off hot and heavy, I want to bring out CSWA co-owner and co-commissioner Chad Merritt! (mixed reaction from the crowd as Merritt makes his way to a raised interview area with Buckley) Chad, welcome back. CM: Thanks, Bill. And I want to thank each and every fan in this building and watching at home. (crowd cheers) It is you who make this possible...and you've made this return of the CSWA bigger and better than I ever thought possible. It's only fitting for the tenth anniversary celebration. BB: Well said, Chad. I know that the fans here and at home are anxious to get to the action, just as we are. But I wanted to take this opportunity to let the fans on the inside for a few moments. Chad, can you tell us a little bit about why you and Steve Thomas decided to bring the CSWA back like this, and how the matches for tonight came to be? CM: Sure, Bill. As all of you well know, I've been away for the last seven months or so. Before that, the CSWA was in disarray. Steve and I couldn't see eye to eye, and that filtered down to the wrestling. It's something we...I...never should have allowed to happen. We couldn't let the legacy go down like that, Bill. So we decided to reconcile our differences and make an attempt at bringing back the CSWA as we know it can and should be. BB: I think tonight's already been a great start. CM: As for the matches....the process of getting wrestlers to sign contracts, etc. is a long and arduous one. We wanted to make it worth their while to return, and we wanted to make sure that this card lineup would live up to the legacy, and I think there's no doubt that it does. One of the biggest tag team feuds in the sport today is building, and it's only fitting that two teams like Killer Instinct and the Swat Team, two teams that have previously competed in the CSWA, should battle for the Unified Tag Team Titles. For years, fans have been yelling to see one match put together between two cousins, Mark and Troy Windham. Tonight, two cousins who also just happen to be two of the top wrestlers in the world, will face off for the first time. Likewise, the world has been clamoring for two men, who are without a doubt two of the best of all time, to step in the ring one more time. And while that comment can pertain to both of the other matches, I'm referring to the match between the two former Unified Champions, JT Tyler and Mike Randalls. And the final match, the MAIN EVENT, well, I think that one needs little discussion. It's the chance to right a wrong that I made a long time ago...I never should have allowed their feud to go to such extremes. BB: A couple of points. First, no one has seen Mark Windham in the building tonight. And secondly, what about Troy Martinez laying his hands on you at the press conference announcing ANNIVERSARY. CM: Bill, I can't pretend to be in the mind of Mark Windham. To be quite honest, I don't even have him signed to a contract yet. But I thought if anything could bring him back to his senses, the announcement of this match could. If he doesn't show, we'll deal with that bridge when we come to it, and I'll offer refunds to anyone who wants them. As for Martinez and Massacre....they certainly have the right to feel like they should be the Unified Tag Champs. They were in July when the league went on hiatus, and that's the reason that they're getting the chance to compete for them again. But if Martinez wants to 'hold me solely responsible for everything that has gone wrong", he's got his priorities mixed up. As for his attacking me....I let it pass, this time. He and Massacre are very proud of the contract they've received, and should be....I'll just make one point, within that contract are some very pointed clauses....clauses that mean that with conduct like that, I can cut your pay at any time. But like I said, Bill, I let it pass this time. BB: Are there other contracts still outstanding, like Windham's? CM: Sure there are, Bill. When I started reforming the talent roster weeks ago, I sent out contracts to quite a few people. I couldn't get them all, of course. If you look at the CSWA historically, every major player in the wrestling world has stepped in that ring down there at one point or another. Tonight, many of them will return to that ring, and I fully expect that in the weeks to come, you'll see others. BB: The world is clamoring about the recent dissolution of the Unified Championship Committee, and the 'death' of the Unified Title. Any comments? CM: Bill, the reports of the death of the Unified World Heavyweight Title are greatly exaggerated. I have to commend men like Paul Kobylarz for their tremendous effort in keeping the Unified Title active in the sport after my unfortunate incarceration. I'm sorry that Mr. Kobylarz is leaving the sport to pursue other interests, he's been a great asset to the sport in general. The Unified Title, however, is upstairs in my office, and I'll be announcing some very important information regarding it in the upcoming weeks. The Unified World Title was created in 1993 as leagues like the CSWA and AAWC combined to recognize superior athletes. Over 35 World Titles were merged into what has become the Unified Title, and that will not be thrown away...just as it wasn't when I was forced to leave the sport for a while. BB: Chad...thanks again, and good luck as things continue tonight. CM: Bill, thank you. Now....let's get it on!!! (crowd cheers) BB: At this time, ladies and gentlemen, I'd like to introduce you to the rest of the CSWA ANNIVERSARY commentating team. Making his return to the booth, here is SAMMY BENSON! (mostly boos from the crowd) And making her commentating debut, and her return to the CSWA, here is the lovely, the talented, the lovely TERI MELTON!!!! (Tericomes out in a sequined evening gown with a slit halfway up her thigh. Both Teri and Sammy take their seats at either side of Buckley.) Sammy, Teri, it's a pleasure. SB: It most certainly is. Oh, not you Buckley, becuase of Teri, of course. BB: Of course. TM: Sammy, we've already had this discussion about ten times over the past few weeks. If you can't behave...I *do* have mace. Good evening, Bill, it's a pleasure. BB: I think I'm enjoying this already...Sammy's speechless. SB: Sorry, I got distracted for a.... TM: Sammy! BB: Fans, while we get Sammy's tongue back in his mouth, let's send it out to CSWA announcer Rhubarb Jones for the introductions of our first match.
BB: Troy Martinez will start it off for Killer Instinct.against Colt for the Swat Team! Colt rakes the eyes of Martinez! Scoops him up body slam! Colt pushes Troy back up against the ropes, whips him across the ring, and delivers a big time clothesline! Nobody does it any better, Sammy! SB: Thank you, Bill...you never get tired of hearing that. BB: Colt's not wasting any more time, he fires Martinez in the corner..and makes a quick tag to Beretta! He's in, gutwrench suplex! Power moves so far by the Swat Team! Beretta whips Troy off the ropes, attempt back drop..but Troy reads it, and nails him with a DDT! TM: Nice move by Troy...now he's gotta reach over and make the tag and get this thing back on even ground! BB: He does just that Teri, he tags in his partner Joe Massacre. Massacre off the ropes with a flying forearm! They're setting up for a big double team here... SPIKED PILEDRIVER!! SB: That's it, they've put the kids to bed..this one is over! BB: ONE...........TWO....No!! Colt storms in to make the save! Good team work by the Swat Team there. Massacre goes for a snap suplex...got it! Beretta needs to make a tag in the worst way! Joe makes a quick tag to Troy Martinez..he's rested and ready to go! Troy Belly to Back! Teri, he's making his way to the top rope! TM: I don't think Killer Instinct wants this match to go on much longer! Troy perched on the top rope....he flies off with a clothesline but missed Beretta and nails the ref Patrick Young!! Can you believe it! SB: The man's never done anything right in his career, so yes I can.... BB: Massacre runs into the ring, and he goes after Colt who's on the outside waiting for a tag!! Those two are going back and forth, now they've moved outside the ring!! Troy, still has Beretta shaken....he's going for a PowerBomb!! If he hits this..it's lights out! TM: Is that Joey?!! (Joey Melton runs down the aisle and the fans pop big) BB: Teri it is!! Joey Melton is back in the ring!!! What's he doing here though?? SB: I'll tell you what he's doing....taking care of business that's what! BB: Joey's got a golf club in his hand, a driver!! Martinez sees him, but it's too late Melton just teed off on his head!! He busted him wide open!! Joey hightails it out of there, and Beretta is back to his feet!! He's going for his finisher, Holster Steiner Screwdriver!!! What a move!! SB: Wake the ref up kid....i can't do everything for you. BB: Beretta rolls the ref over....he's going to make the count.... ONE........TWO....... THREE!!! THE SWAT TEAM ARE THE NEW UNIFIED WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS!!! SB: I don't know if Joey has a beef with Killer Instinct, but he's not acting like a man in retirement!! Could this be?? Could we be seeing the reformation of Arrogance here in the CSWA!!? TM: So far it's just Joey, Sammy...but where there's one, there's the other two...you can bet on that! BB: So much more to come, we're just getting started!!! Fans, we don't have a camera up in the presidential skybox suite, but I'm being told that Commissioner Merritt is, well, enjoying what we just saw. I'm sure that Troy Martinez and Joe Massacre aren't, however. SB: You think if I went up there, I might be able to get a...some bottled water...from Merritt? BB: You just stay right here. Sammy if we prove anything tonight, it's that co-commissioner Chad Merritt is in fact 'different'. SB: The man has it rigged so the theme from 'Jesus Christ Superstar' plays as he wakes each morning....yeah he's 'different'. TM: In light of the fact that he signs my checks, I'll say there's nothing wrong with him. He's perfectly normal. SB: What all does he pay you for? I've heard rumors.. (Teri reaches over to smack Sammy) BB: SAMMY!! Easy Teri...remember he's just a lonely, bitter, mammal...let it go. By the incoherent voice in my ear, I'm guessing that Marvin is trying to tell me we're ready for our next match. SB: Why is he still being paid? And don't give me any crap about him having to clean the bathrooms...surely we can find some Mexican who will do it for free...or a gift certificate to McDonalds.. TM: Folks, send those cards and letters to: Sammy Benson at CS..... BB: Let's just get on with it....
BB: Merritt and Thomas shocked all of us by signing this match. Guys, you have to wonder what exactly they were thinking. We're trying to restart a league, return it to greatness. I'm not sure you do that by putting together a pair of Windhams who might just kill each other on live TV! SB: Yeah...that's a no-no. Believe me, we should all know the troubles of killings on live TV. BB: Yeah.... TM: If you want to talk about red flags waving for this match...the first should be the very fact that Mark Windham has not been heard from in a couple of months! Nobody knows where the man is, that to me signals trouble. Mark is to say the least unstable...not just mentally but professionally---- (Troy Windham interrupts Teri over the PA system. He begins walking down the aisle) TROY WINDHAM: Yo Yo Yo mah biatch put the kibosh on it... Triz-oy in Da house and he needs the tention of his peeps! (climbs in the ring, and does a little jig) Nah.Nah.Nah.Nah I'm bout to get jiggy with it! No...I'm goin be serious for a sec. Merritt tells me show to up, and wrestle my cousin Marky Mark. As much as I hate to say it, this isn't the Jerry Springer show. "Jerry! Jerry!" no peeps it's not. Troy doesn't need to be wrestling a jealous family member, whose career was over when Jason Bateman still had solid work in showbiz. You didn't leave your family, that woman of yours rode the D-Train and decided she wanted something better...so she gave your butt the boot. That's what really happened...so you didn't show tonight...no surprise there. I'm done with you, Triz-oy is movin on... Now there's this little business bout GUNS/HORNET for the CSWA World Title. Ahab and Moby Dick is that what they've been shoutin about all week.. well there's only one Dick in the CSWA that matters... and later on I'll pick out my own personal Ahab to do get jiggy with. That title should be mine...but why am I getting the Shaft once again? Because I"m the blackest white kid the sport today...The Big C in 'CS" is holding King Gen Xer down... Don't sweat it kid, cause startin tonight Triz-oy is takin this place to a new level. Like Martin Luther King, I've got a dream!! Like George and Weezie I'm movin on up!! (Crowd lets out a huge pop, as a man wearing a a black trench coat, dirty jeans, and army boots makes his way out of the crowd) BB: I DON'T BELIEVE IT! Sammy is that??? Could it be??? SB: It's the Living Psycho, Mark Windham! Windham is in the ring, and Troy doesn't know it! Troy is still going on and on..he has no idea! TM: The poor kid thinks the pop is for him...he's in for a rude awakening when he stops running off at the mouth and turns around! BB: Mark, looking around at the crowd...finally he's heard enough!! Turns Troy around, Implant DDT!! Listen to this place!! Troy is out cold...Windham looks like he's soaking it all in! I don't think George or Weezie took a blow like that! SB: Teri, do you think Weezie was with George just for the money? BB: Enough! Mark brings Troy to his feet...snap suplex!! If Troy was hoping to get any kind of top contention status after this match..he better start making his move. At this rate, Mark may wear him out before then! Windham sends Troy flying through the ropes and onto the outside! SB: Don't most Windham battles take place out there? Put the kids to bed folks, things are about to get nasty. Teri, hold me?! TM: In your dreams...Sammy get up and give Mark your chair... (Teri pushes Sammy out of his seat allowing Mark to pick it up) SB: YOU Sl--- (Windham cracks Sammy over the head to the fans delight) BB: Mark Windham has laid out our broadcast partner Sammy Benson!! Today is a great today!! (high fives Teri) Now, Mark turns his attention to Troy... he's making his move over to Troy, but the former CSWA World Champion cheap shots Mark in the groin! TM: Sammy if he were awake *laughs* would blame that one on Troy's trick elbow... I won't tell you what I think. BB: I don't like the move, but for the moment it's stopped Mark's momentum. Troy has the chair in his hands now, and he lays some wood! That drops Windham to one knee! Troy standing over his cousin, and firing away! He said coming in he was serious...and right now he looks it! TM: (rolls Sammy over with her leg) Sammy, you okay?? SB: huhhh.....mommmie.... BB: Guess not. Troy rolls Mark back in...smart move by the kid. He's not going to win the war out there. Troy off the top rope with a double axe handle! He covers for a two count! Mark hasn't been in the ring in a while, Teri, you have to figure that's going to take it's toll. TM: No doubt... he may be a great wrestler, but even the best show rust after that much of a lay off. BB: Troy whips Mark into the ropes, flying lariat! He had some airtime with that one... I'm not sure what Mark is spitting up now...but it's not good. Troy reaches down and smacks Mark across the face! He brings Windham to his feet....off the ropes, with a flying body press! But Mark caught him in mid-air. Not a good spot to be in if you're Troy Windham! Power Slam!!! Windham slips outside....lookout, he's looking under the ring for something! TM: It's a table Bill... he shoves it in the ring! We're not too far away from seeing some blood shed.... Well, we've already seen it once with Sammy...but I mean in the match itself. BB: Windham sets up the table, but Troy clips the knee from behind! He just waited for Mark to get back in... Troy slams Mark's head into the table and lays him out on it! Troy gives a one finer salute to the crowd, and perches himself on the middle rope! TM: If he hits from here, you know what happens! BB: Triz-oy took too long!! Mark is up and he delivers a right hand to the head of his cousin! Mark climbing the ropes...he's up top....what's it going to be!!! Superplex on the table! SB: Good Grief, that thing broke like a virgin intern at the White House! TM: Hey Sammy you're up... you know you sorta look like the cross-eyed freak from the Goonies. BB: Mark staggers to his feet...that took a toll on him as well. Windham positions Troy for the Piledriver!! He's devastated many opponents with this one....can he put away Troy with it as well!? JM: He may not have the chance, here goes Junior Hornet!! Junior in the ring, and Windham catches him with a clothesline!! BB: The fans are going wild!!! Mark has Junior set up!! PILEDRIVER! He's going a little too far though guys....he's still working over Junior!! He's got Junior in the Torture Rack!! TM: He's forgotten about Troy! Speaking of which, what's he doing!! BB: Good Grief a fan has just jumped the railing and given Troy something!! What does he have in his hand!! SB: That's not a fan, Buckley! That's Shawn Matthews!! I love it!!! ::raises the roof:: BB: Oh shut up! Troy, that's a can of mace!!! He just sprayed Mace in the eyes of Mark Windham!! Troy throws the evidence into the stands!! Windham is rolling around in pain!! I don't believe this!! SB: That's what happens when you try to get fresh with Troy Windham! BB: Will you stop it! Troy has Mark up....Double Arm Powerbomb!! He's going to cover for the win... ONE........TWO.......no this can't happen......THREE!!! SB: YES! YES! I mean, that's cheating!!! BB: Oh stuff it, Sammy! Troy rolls out of the ring! He's stolen one here tonight... this is awful! You'd think a former World Champion could muster a little more class than that. SB: Um, Buckley, we're talking about Troy Windham here... BB: I haven't forgotten...I just thought the man might have found some maturity along with the gold he held so briefly. SB: As they say...dream on. BB: The table and such has been cleared out of the ring..and we're ready for our next match. Sorry guys, but I'm still having a little trouble grasping what just happened. Troy Windham comes out before the match..gives us a 5 minute spiel about respect and then has the gall to pull that... SB: Oh lighten up Buckley. It's nothing you haven't seen for the last 10 years. Hell, already tonight we've seen highlights of the Parsons Cruise Liner blowing up...and now you're going to cry about a little mace... suck it up Buckley. BB: You've been drinking again haven't you? TM: You mean he ever stopped? SB: Don't go there, sweetums. I don't know what I would have done in DeTox if I didn't have an outside supply of...I mean... the whole experience was horrible!!! BB: Uh huh. Oh look at the time, we're ready to roll. (to himself) I hate my life.
BB: Folks, if GUNS/HORNET weren't next...this would be the main event. When this match was signed, I was excited to say the least. The CSWA needs a home run tonight, and Merritt drove one to deep center when he pulled this one off. TM: I'll agree with you on that one Bill. Tonight is all about the CSWA's 10 year history. For those long time fans, you'll remember the UNIFIED title match up these two had in '95! SB: I'm surprised you remember that one....or anything at all. But hey you look good, so of course by society's standards you should get ahead by that alone. Now, back to wrestling...Tyler won that match up along with the Unified title. That as you mentioned was three years ago...Randalls has been waiting for this day....as he said the Wolf is hungry...and tonight my money says we'll see a feeding frenzy. BB: Let's go to Rhubarb Jones for the introductions... ("Ballot or the Bullet" By Van Halen plays) (kashmir by Led Zepplin plays) BB: The sold out crowd here in Merritt Auditorium are split over who to cheer. We've already brought up their last CSWA battle three years ago...since that time..both men have under gone changes. Tyler as I'm sure many of you have noticed..is more of a shoot fighter now. He's going to try to do something very few have ever done... that's make Mike Randalls submit. Randalls on the other hand...who knows what's up with him.. SB: The man's a freak. Into cults, and god only knows what else. He refers to himself as a Wolf in the wilderness, ready to devour those who oppose him... come on, it's something you'd see on TBS' Monstervision. TM: What's up with you plugging Turner lately?? SB: Nothing...I just happen to be a big fan of his. BB: There's the bell...and this one is underway! Tyler darting around looking for an opening...as Randalls just stands there. He hasn't even moved! TM: Maybe he doesn't know the match has started yet...get in there and tell him Sammy. BB: Oh bite me.... I mean that literally. BB: Tyler with a single leg takedown...that time he got Randalls off his feet!! Tyler quickly moves to an ankle lock!! A submission move, but Randalls is too close the ropes..and ref Ben Worthington calls for the break! SB: You have to question Tyler's tactics....unless you've got a wooden stake..the guy isn't going to say those words. TM: Those words? You mean "pay before, sir"... wait.... We're not talking about you, okay.. BB: Tyler and Randalls lock up again..belly to back by JT!! Randalls is up and backs Tyler into the corner... Randalls rocks JT with a vicious forearm! If this was a Hockey game, Mikey would get 2 minutes in the box for that one.. wow. TM: JT's shaken after that blow...A great example of Randalls' power...he wants to pick you apart piece by piece. BB: Randalls executes a German Suplex!! He can get on the mat as well.....Tyler slams an elbow to Mike's jaw...Tyler with a Thunderbolt!! What a dropkick by JT!! Tyler, again going for it all with a Russian Gran Sambo another submission move!! SB: He doesn't listen does he.... He can tear this man's arm off, and Randalls still wouldn't say "I quit". BB: Tyler breaks the hold...perhaps he agrees with you Sammy. JT plants a knee into Randalls' gut. Fires him off the ropes, attempted clothesline, but Randalls ducks under the attempt. Lariat by The Wolf! Now, he's going straight to work....figure four by Randalls!! TM: I'm sure JT is a tough man, being a NAVY Seal you have to be...but we're going find out if the words are in his vocabulary... BB: We just might.. Randalls has the figure four locked in, and he's applying all sorts of pressure now. Tyler trying his best to inch his way over to the ropes. JT, stretches with his left hand...and is able to grab the bottom rope! SB: Teri let me demostrate for our viewing audience the position of a figure four. Check that, our producer has given me a list of several other positions he'd like to see. TM: That's fine Sammy....we'll just drag "Miss Blow-up" from your hotel room down here. BB: Oh lord. Randalls with a backbreaker! Tyler's in all sorts of trouble. Mike Randalls goes outside...and begins to climb up the ropes! JT is up as well! Tyler dives around the ropes and Mikey lands in a horrible position. SB: If he had plans for later tonight...he can cancel those. Maybe he can sing at the Met now, but anything else it's going to be a while. BB: Tyler climbs to the top...he's gonna go for a SuperPlex from the top!! JT tries to lift up up..but Randalls blocks it! Randalls has JT up.....good grief a BRAINBUSTER from the top rope! TM: I've never seen that before!! I hope never again either..he might have broken something! BB: Randalls covers JT like he's boasting about his latest kill, ONE........TWO.......THREE!!! Mike Randalls has evened up the score so to speak!! What a win! TM: JT was in control, but made a crucial mistake at the end! What a match! SB: Whether you're Hornet, GUNS, Windham, or...well, Windham..it doesn't matter. The Wolf has made a kill tonight...and I can promise you this, he'll kill again. I would not want to be stalked by this animal that's for da*n sure. BB: We'll take a short break as JT is attended to, we'll be back with our MAIN EVENT! (Teri Melton is shown on screen wearing nothing but a beachtowel) TM: You wanna see the good stuff? I know you do...and that's why the CSWA has released its new ten volume video set called CSWA: Decade of Champions. Featuring clips from many of the greatest matches of all time, as well the greatest wrestlers of all time. And when you order the set for the low, low price of $299.99, you get this beach towel thrown in for free. Kids, be sure to get your parents' permission...in fact, ask daddy for his credit card right now....right now while you're both watching. Because daddy knows that I'd like nothing more than to send you this collector's edition video set. All you have to do is call 1-800-THE-CSWA to reserve your copy now. SB: It was tawdry, it was a simple case of sex selling....I liked it. TM: I do what I can. BB: Sorry to bring you both back to the matters at hand, but what a match we just saw between Randalls and Tyler. As far as I'm concerned, both men once again proved their status as two of the greatest wrestlers to compete in the sport. TM: And Mike Randalls again proved his dominance in the CSWA and the sport in general. The man may be unorthodox, Bill, but he gets the job done, whether he's "Devastating", "The Darkness", or now..."The Wolf." SB: If he's so dominant, why isn't he wrestling in the next match for the CSWA World Title? TM: That's actually a pretty good question. BB: Well, when you've got men like we've seen tonight, Troy Windham, Mark Windham, Mike Randalls, JT Tyler, as well as Hornet and GUNS, any of them could legitimately compete for *any* World Title, even here in the CSWA. But I think one of the overriding factors, of course, is the history of these two men...their feud and their status in this sport. We've heard little from either man in the recent months...but if anyone doubts that these two men are two of the best in the sport, then they've been living somewhere else for quite a few years. If there's any match that better illustrates the decade legacy of the CSWA, this may very well be it. Fans, I'm not going to bore you...if you've visited the CSWA's new and improved website, you've been able to see a history of the feud between these two men. If you watched the CSWA for any length of time, then you have some idea of what's gone on. Tonight, there are no clips or footage needed....these two men have battled for gold, for pride, and for careers. Many have said one or both are obsessed with the other....tonight, we find out who relates to Captain Ahab, and who relates to Moby Dick. It's sink or swim time, fans, and if one of these men gets pulled under tonight, he may not make it back up. Let's send it to Rhubarb.
RJ: Ladies and gentlemen, the following match is the MAIN EVENT of CSWA ANNIVERSARY 1998: Titanic Sink or Swim! (crowd cheers) The match is two-out-of-three falls, for the CSWA World Heavyweight Championship! Entering the ring from the right side, he hails from San Antonio, Texas, this former CSWA World Champion and former three-time Enterprise World Champion is known for having "The Strongest Arms In The World"....he is.....GUNS!!!! BB: Mostly cheers from this crowd as GUNS stands as the right-side entryway. CSWA officials have set an additional entryway, so that both men can enter at the same time from opposite sides of the arena. RJ: And his opponent, hailing from right here in Greensboro, North Carolina, entering the ring from the left side. He is a former three-time CSWA World Champion, as well as a former three-time Unified World Champion. They call him the "Greatest American Hero", he is.....HORNET!!!!!!!! BB: This crowd is on its feet for the hometown 'hero,' and stays standing as these two men walk down the aisleways. They've got each other in their sights and locked on, and woe to anybody who might be standing between those looks! TM: This is intensity personified, Bill. SB: You know, I've really been amazed tonight. As much as I'd like to look at you simply as a sex object, you've had some really insightful comments tonight, Teri. TM: Thanks, Sammy. SB: But....I still like to look at you simply as a sex object. BB: This match will feature three falls. Whoever can capture two of them will win the CSWA World Championship...for GUNS it would be his second reign with the title, for Hornet, his fourth. GUNS of course is the more recent champion of the two, winning the title exactly one year ago at ANNIVERSARY 1997, and eventually losing it in July 1997. TM: And he owes that loss to Hornet as well, in part at least. BB: True, while Hornet didn't interfere, he did count the pin when the referee was knocked out. But tonight, that's all history. If you think it doesn't matter, however, you're sadly mistaken. Both men climb through the ropes, no hand-slapping with the fans, no comments, nothing. They're totally focused on each other and the match ahead. The referee for this contest is Ben Worthington, the CSWA's senior referee. Folks, this is ANNIVERSARY....this is the MAIN EVENT.... TM: It doesn't get any better than this... BB: Exactly. There's the bell, and this one is underway. Along with it being two of three falls, the match also has no time limit, so we could be here all night long! SB: If we are...could somebody plese get me at least *one*....um, bottled water. Yeah, water, right. BB: These two titans in the sport lock up, and it is GUNS coming away with the edge in power. He scoops Hornet up....powerslam!!! That mat doesn't give much, folks, especially not with over three hundred fifty pounds coming down on top of you. But both men are up quickly, and Hornet decides that if he can't fight with power, he'll use speed. He slips behind GUNS, and slaps on almost an inverted bear hug. GUNS can't quite get to Hornet to break the hold, but a quick flex of those massive arms takes care of thing for him. Hornet tries to whip GUNS into the ropes, but the former Enterprise Champion again scoops Hornet up, this time with a belly to belly suplex. He tries to hook the leg, but Hornet is already climbing to his feet. TM: GUNS has already established a set pattern. These two know each other so well... and GUNS knows that Hornet's perennial weak spot is his back. SB: Yeah, what she said. BB: Both men up again, this time Hornet hooks the arm and the tights, pulling GUNS up for a suplex....no, a brainbuster!!!! He drops the big man right down on his head! We know that GUNS has the power edge in this match, Teri, but it's usually the other way around when Hornet faces opponents. TM: True. Hornet can certainly get GUNS up and over...but GUNS still has the major edge in a power-for-power match. BB: And another point that needs to be made...these two men are about as tough as they come. After that brainbuster, GUNS is already back up, and the two men are pushing , shoving and hooking up again. SB: Some might say it's because he got dropped on his head that it had little effect. TM: Maybe...but we're talking about one man where it took a wooden stake through his knee to get him to submit, and another who has competed in title matches when he could hardly stand on an injured back. BB: GUNS gets the edge, whips Hornet into the ropes....Hornet tries to come off with a flying body press, but he gets caught up in the Strongest Arms In The World like a ragdoll!!!! POWERSLAM by GUNS! I thought the ring might come down on that one! SB: Sure sounded like it. TM: Talk about working on the back...Hornet may not be able to move after that one. BB: GUNS doesn't care whether he can move or not...he simply pulls him up by his ear. GUNS tucks Hornet in a reverse side headlock....and powers the former Unified Champion down with a DDT! That could be the signal for the beginning of the end here in this first fall! Again, GUNS pulls Hornet to his feet...and again, he hooks in that headlock. But this time, Hornet somehow slips out and executes a standing switch, hooking in a full nelson!!! TM: Hornet has to do more of that. He simply can't rely on his power to win this match for him. BB: GUNS quickly breaks the full nelson, but Hornet is prepared, whipping GUNS into the ropes, sweeping him up and dropping him on his knee with a backbreaker!!! I guess if GUNS can work on Hornet's back, the reverse is true as well. TM: Sure. But Hornet knows where GUNS' true supposed weakness is, and it's the legs, especially the knees. BB: Now it's Hornet's turn to pull GUNS to his feet. I'm not sure what he's doing...he's standing next to GUNS, hooking one arm. He's going for a torture rack backbreaker!!! He drapes GUNS over his shoulders.....he presses those legs, and he's got him up!!! GUNS is obviously in pain, and he's working to fight his way out of this one. TM: Take GUNS off his base, and you've got a chance to do some damage. But the arms are still the key. BB: And right now, one of those arms is pinned to Hornet, while the other is flailing in the air, trying to get a piece of anything. But Hornet can't keep GUNS up forever, and he drops him unceremoniously onto the mat. GUNS is still fighting, he gets to his knees, but before he gets any further, Hornet pulls him up, only to scoop him with a belly to back suplex and put him on his back. TM: But GUNS got hold of Hornet on that one, and pulled him down as well!!! BB: And now GUNS rolls on top of Hornet, pummeling him with a couple of hard right hands. GUNS turns Hornet over, and now he hooks in the STF!!!! This could be lights out! Hornet is fighting for all he's worth, but he can't get the massive form of GUNS off of him, or that pressure off his neck, back and leg! Turnabout is fair play...and if Hornet can get GUNS off his feet in the air....GUNS can take Hornet off his feet on the ground. TM: And this is where GUNS has the ultimate game plan going against Hornet. Not only does he know he has the strength advantage, not only is he working on Hornet's back, but he has eliminated Hornet's speed and agility advantages...all in one fell swoop. SB: Not to mention putting him in a whole lot of pain. BB: Ben Worthington again asks Hornet if he wants to submit. Hornet is unable to shake his head, caught in that vice-like grip of GUNS, but he is able to spit out the word "No" over and over again. And as he does that, he also pushes that right arm out further and further, attempting to get hold of the ropes. GUNS continues to pull harder on the neck, trying to keep Hornet away...but the neck isn't the arm, and Hornet finally gets hold of the bottom rope. Ben Worthington calls for the break, and GUNS uses almost all of the five-count before letting up. TM: Another smart move by GUNS. When you've got your opponent where you want 'em....don't ever let go....until you absolutely have to. BB: Hornet pulls himself closer to the ropes and rolls outside, attempting to get a breather. He's prone on the mats below, and shows little sign of getting to his feet. GUNS heads outside as well, not wanting to give Hornet any chance to recover. But as he rolls out, Hornet gets to his feet, catching GUNS around the waist and delivering a belly-to-back suplex onto the thin mats and concrete below. Hornet again to his feet, pulls GUNS up with him, and he whips the big man into the corner of the far side guardrails. SB: The only thing holding GUNS up after that one is those huge arms draped over the rails. BB: Fans are both encouraging GUNS to get up and to stay down in that corner, depending on who they're rooting for. But Hornet is setting up for something over there on the far side. He charges, and leaps!!! HORNET SPLASH!! He just caught GUNS in that corner...and almost went OVER the rail into the fans!!! GUNS slumps down to the floor, but now it's Hornet's turn to pick up the pace. He pulls GUNS up and rolls him onto the nearby apron, breaking the ten-count from referee Ben Worthington. That last sequence outside took a lot out of an already-winded Hornet...he's slow following GUNS in. That gives GUNS a chance to roll to the neutral corner, gathering his own senses. As Hornet climbs in, GUNS gets up to one knee; as Hornet charges, GUNS is up on his feet. The two men trade punches in the corner, but GUNS dodges a right hand that turns Hornet around....belly to back suplex by GUNS!!! And GUNS doesn't let go...he simply stands up, with Hornet still in the grasp of the Strongest Arms In The World!! BEAR HUG by GUNS....and this could spell disaster for Hornet, as GUNS continues working on that soft back! TM: We don't know how much of the Hornet back injury is myth these days and how much is real. To this point Hornet still seems able to stay in it...but a few more blows and pressure like what GUNS has already dealt out, and myth or not, the back injury may play a major role. BB: Hornet is struggling to get out....he's kicking GUNS in the back with his boots, trying to make GUNS let loose by delivering a double bicep to the head, but none of it seems to be working. GUNS is totally focused on the bear hug, on the back of Hornet, and on ending this first fall. Hornet continues to fight, but each attempted maneuver uses more and more energy. Finally, GUNS drops Hornet to the mat...and Hornet is not in good shape at all. SB: What is GUNS doing....going up top? This could nullify everything he's just done! TM: Only if he misses. BB: Hornet is moving on the mat, slowly but surely up on one knee, now both. SB: What is GUNS waiting for...if Hornet gets to his feet, there's no chance! BB: GUNS is perched up top, the former Unified Champion gets to his feet and sees the impending danger! TOP ROPE SHOULDERBLOCK! GUNS just leveled Hornet! He hooks an inside cradle!!! ONE...............TWO......NO, Hornet kicks out! But GUNS doesn't let up, he twines and hooks the leg for a grapevine cover. ONE...................... no, again Hornet kicks out. GUNS delivers a few shots to the midsection, trying to let Hornet know who's in charge. GUNS goes for another inside cradle....but Hornet uses the momentum and carries him over to reverse it!!! ONE................NO, GUNS kicks out this time, and he's furious!! He pulls Hornet up, but Hornet's ready, and he's able to get the leg hooked and reach around for the abdominal stretch!!! Again, Hornet has one arm pinned behind GUNS, halving the power of those enormous arms. GUNS tries to power out using his pinned leg, but Hornet has the maneuver cinched in tight. You can use that massive bicep trying to push Hornet off his feet with sheer strength...and it finally works. But Hornet simply gets around behind GUNS and hooks in a full nelson. GUNS quickly powers out, and now he's got a hold of Hornet!!! TM: That's the danger of getting in too close with GUNS. BB: Gorilla press....and SLAM!!! GUNS quickly scoops Hornet up again....POWERSLAM. And now he's got Hornet's right leg.....he's going for it, he's got it....the figure four leglock!!! Rarely do we see GUNS go for a maneuver on the legs, but he's got this one in tight....again working on that lower back of the former Unified Champ. Hornet is finally able to get the ropes, but the damage has been done...and he may not be able to recover. And it looks like GUNS is going up top again!!! Again he waits for Hornet to get to his feet and here comes GUNS.....SUNSET FLIP from the top!! He's got it hooked! ONE...................NO!!! The momentum carried the two men too close to the ropes, and Hornet had an arm stuck between the second and bottom ropes. GUNS pulls Hornet up, but there's that standing switch again, and Hornet goes back to the full nelson! I'm not quite sure why he keeps going with that move...GUNS seems to power out pretty easily. TM: Maybe for now, but remember, this is two-of-three falls, and if Hornet can get GUNS to wear the "Strongest Arms In The World" out, then GUNS loses a major advantage. BB: It does seem that it took GUNS a little bit longer to power out this time, but he still did. He puts Hornet to the mat with a quick drop toe hold and then changes it into that STF again!!! Hornet quickly grabs the ropes, but again, the damage is done. GUNS goes for the cradle, but Hornet escapes before the count. GUNS tries to grapevine the arm and leg, but again, Hornet gets to the ropes. Furious, GUNS pulls Hornet away from the ropes, and now he's battling to get Hornet in a back slide!!! TM: It's the one thing that GUNS has never seemed able to do, and Hornet has never let him forget....GUNS has never pinned Hornet without some type of controversy. BB: GUNS pulls Hornet over his shoulders....and now starts pulling Hornet's shoulders to the mat....but somehow, Hornet rolls through and uses his legs to help pull GUNS over!!! It's reversed!! ONE...................no, GUNS powers out!! I don't think I've ever seen anythign like that! You'd expect that from a luchador or a cruiserweight, not from these heavyweights! SB: Are we still in the first fall? BB: Indeed we are, much to GUNS' chagrin at this point. Hornet reverses the irish whip, sending GUNS into the ropes, and there's that spinning backbreaker again, dropping the small of GUNS' back onto his knee. Hornet rolls away and into the corner...he's worn out. TM: He's got to follow-up here if he wants to have a chance. BB: But it's already too late...GUNS is getting to his feet. Hornet tries to go in with a dropkick, but GUNS swats him away. As Hornet gets up, GUNS is ready....DDT!!!! He just dropped Hornet like a sack of potatoes!!! GUNS sets up and hooks the inside cradle!! ONE....................TWO................NO!!!! GUNS with the lateral press! ONE.........TWO...........NO!!!! GUNS cannot keep Hornet's shoulders down for the three-count!!! And so now he doesn't try!!! He pulls Hornet up, upside down!!! PILEDRIVER!!!! And now GUNS is going up top!!! We hardly ever see this out of him, and this is the third time he's gone up top already! TM: Shows you how much he wants this...how much they both do. BB: GUNS from the top with a splash to cover!!! ONE.......................TWO....................THREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GUNS takes the first fall!!! He's done it.....he has pinned Hornet to the mat....no interference, no questions, no excuses!!! He got the three-count. I don't even know if Hornet knows it yet, as GUNS heads to the corner for the one-minute rest period. TM: Trust me, he knows it, Bill. He's taking his rest period right there, on the mat. If he wants to get back in this match, he's got to work his own game plan, and not simply react to GUNS'. BB: GUNS is just one fall away from beginning his second run as the CSWA World Champion...and his fifth World Title reign in the CSWA. Hornet has kept him from the Unified Title...kept him from keeping the CSWA World Title....but can anything keep GUNS from the gold tonight? SB: Not if he keeps wrestling like that. Get Randalls in here...let's get a triangle match! BB: There's the bell...and the second fall is underway. Hornet quickly climbs to his feet and gets in the neutral corner...but who can say what one minute of rest can do after a DDT and piledriver like we just saw. SB: Not to mention the splash from a 365 pound man from the top rope. TM: But that was exactly what GUNS needed, and exactly what he's avoided doing in the past. BB: The two walk to the center of the ring, again measuring each other. GUNS goes in to hook up with Hornet, but the former Unified Champ shoves the big man away! Hornet starts in with a series of heart kicks on GUNS...again, and again, and again!!! GUNS is backed into the corner, but he charges out and drops Hornet to the mat with a tackle. GUNS to his feet first, pulling Hornet up, and now lifting him up in a gorilla press.....and SLAM! SB: This mat's taking a beating tonight. BB: It is indeed. AND GUNS doesn't let up...he waits for Hornet to get almost to his feet, and then drops him with a DDT. GUNS keeps things on the mat, and now he hooks in the crossface chicken wing!!! It could be all over!!! Except that Hornet is too close to the ropes, hooking the leg under the bottom rope to escape the submission hold. SB: It might be only a matter of time here, Buckley. BB: GUNS pulls Hornet out of the ropes to his feet..collar-and-elbow tieup, GUNS sends Hornet for the ride. But Hornet comes off the top and catches GUNS with a forearm that staggers the big man but does not send him down. Hornet stays on his feet and hooks GUNS with a modified bear hug from behind. GUNS quickly powers out and turns around, only to find another series of heart kicks awaiting him! GUNS staggers back once again, and Hornet uses the momentum to whip the former Enterprise Champion into the ropes....FLYING DROPKICK by Hornet takes GUNS off his feet. Hornet follows up right away, grabbing the lower legs and turning GUNS over with a boston crab!!!! TM: That's what Hornet wasn't doing in the first match, following up. SB: It's hard to follow-up when you're getting the stuffing beat out of you. BB: GUNS is trying to power his way out of this one, but Hornet sits down lower, cinching the hold in. TM: The boston shares a lot in common with the Scorpion....and there's no doubt that Hornet's got that hold mastered. BB: GUNS is unable to press his way out of this one, so he's trying to get to the ropes. But those couple of feet are equivalent to miles for GUNS right now. Hornet lets up on the boston, and it looks like he's quickly headed up top!!! Hornet gets ready, gets set....and goes with a SHOOTING STAR PRESS!!! Whoa...he almost missed that one, just barely catching GUNS as the big man tried to roll out of the way. GUNS doesn't seem to phased by it...he trips up Hornet as he tries to get to his feet...it looks like he's going for the crossface again! No....he gets the leg hooked and he's got the STF in Hornet!!! But another quick grab of the ropes and a four-count, and GUNS is forced to let go before the five. TM: If Hornet can't get the momentum reversed, it's over. BB: GUNS pulls Hornet up and tries to whip him across the ring...but Hornet gets his feet set and reverses it, sending GUNS into the turnbuckle! Hornet follows in with a shoulder. He's whips GUNS all the way to the far turnbuckle...he's getting set!!! There's the charge.....HORNET SPLASH!!!!!!!!!!!!! How 'bout that for a momentum changer for you! Hornet pulls GUNS out of the corner and to the mat, grabs the legs....and now we've got the SCORPION DEATHLOCK hooked in! Hornet has been working on the lower back all match, and it may be time for that work to pay off in spades! But if anything else is certain, it's that GUNS won't give up, not until *after* his leg snaps. SB: He never has been real bright. BB: In this case, there's a difference between what's called determination and stupidity. We know you wouldn't know anything about that. SB: You don't have to be rude, you know. TM: Shut up, Sammy. BB: GUNS has certainly been in this situation before...and Hornet knows it. He lets up on the Scorpion, and now he's going in for the kill. He goes upstairs....he's setting GUNS up for the splash, the same pinning maneuver that ended the first fall! Hornet comes off the top and hits! ONE......................TWO........................NO!!!! GUNS KICKS OUT! And so Hornet hooks in the Scorpion again...continuing to wear down GUNS. Referee Ben Worthington continues to ask GUNS if he wants to give, and he's getting no answer at all. TM: It's taking all he's got to stay in this one. BB: I'm not sure what Hornet is doing in this one...but it's almost like he's reversing the Scorpion...he turns GUNS back over onto his back, and somehow contorts into a modified inside cradle, still holding one leg! ONE........................ TWO.................... THREE!!!! Hornet wins the second fall to even us all up at one fall a piece. GUNS looks worn out...and Hornet goes and collapses in a nearby corner. This match has already gone almost forty-five minutes, and there's still one fall to go to determine who comes out the CSWA World Champion! The one minute break is underway. What a tremendous match so far....GUNS gets the pin in the first fall after a grueling thirty minutes; Hornet comes back in the second fall using the Scorpion to get the edge. And now we're just about ready for the third fall. What's gonna happen in this one? TM: We're going to see a new champion crowned... these two men are incredible. But the question for the third fall is: who still has the energy to press for the win. BB: We're about to find out....there's the bell for this third fall, and the roar of this crowd is deafening! They know this is something special....and they're on their feet. SB: Oh, I thought the Beer man had just walked by... BB: Good gracious! Hornet avoids the lock-up completely, catching GUNS with an early flying dropkick directly out of the corner!!! He follows up with a scoop and a belly to back suplex! Now Hornet hooks in that bear hug again...still working on the back of GUNS! Hornet has come into this third fall on fire! SB: En fuego!!! GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLL! TM: Hornet certainly has the momentum carried over from that second fall. If he can wear GUNS down quickly without expending too much energy, then we've got a four-time CSWA World Champion. BB: Hornet lets up on the bear hug, about to lose it anyway...he comes off the ropes ...another flying dropkick!!! And now he's putting GUNS up on his back again for the second torture rack backbreaker of this match!!! TM: This could be a mistake! BB: And a mistake it is!!! Hornet almost lost the hold on GUNS, and in reestablishing his footing, he swung the legs of GUNS into referee Ben Worthington!!! Worthington is down in the corner!!! GUNS falls out of the backbreaker...Hornet goes to follow-up, but GUNS catches him with a hard right hand to the gut. Now it's GUNS' turn, hooking in the bear hug! Hornet quickly catches GUNS with a fist to the head....the big man drops the bear hug, but hooks the head....DDT!!!!!!!!!! GUNS follows up with a huge bossman slam maneuver! Belly to belly suplex by GUNS.....belly to belly suplex by GUNS.... belly to belly suplex by GUNS!!! He just threw Hornet around like he was a rag doll! And now GUNS is going up top! Worthington is coming to in the corner just as Hornet begins to make his way to his feet. TOP ROPE SHOULDERBLOCK!!! The count... ONE.................TWO............NO!!!! Hornet got that right shoulder up somehow!!! GUNS can't believe it...and I don't think Hornet can either! GUNS is on his feet, and he quickly hooks in a figure four leglock, applying pressure to the back that has already taken so much damage over the last fifty-five minutes! TM: What a momentum turn by GUNS....if we thought he was exhausted... well, that's one heck of a proverbial second wind! SB: You ain't kidding, sister. TM: Please...please don't do that. BB: Hornet can't get to the ropes as he's grimacing in pain, so instead...he starts rocking back and forth! TM: He's going to attempt to turn GUNS over! One thing about the figure four...GUNS can't use the Strongest Arms In The World to his advantage in a leglock. BB: One final roll by Hornet, and now he's got the figure four reversed! It's GUNS turn to feel the pressure...but the move isn't hooked in well now...and it's broken up. Hornet is up to his feet first, quickly followed by GUNS...Hornet comes off the ropes, leapfrogs GUNS, comes back across....CAUGHT by GUNS and there's a big powerslam!!! GUNS hooks the leg,but Hornet kicks out before the one count. GUNS isn't done though.. he sets the former CSWA World Champ up and puts him down with a piledriver!!! Inside cradle! ONE.....................TWO...........NO!!! Again, Hornet kicks out! SB: Put him away! BB: Sammy's legendary sense of impartiality comes through again. GUNS with an oklahoma roll to cover! ONE................TWO.............NO!! Both men to their feet....they lock up...belly to belly suplex by Hornet! I don't have any idea where these two are getting these second winds from! SB: I think they're both on about their fifth winds... BB: Hornet pulls GUNS up and whips him into the corner.... SB: Here we go again... BB: HORNET SPLASH!!! Hornet pulls GUNS out of the corner and sends him across again! He's going to do it again! HORNET SPLASH!!! Deja vu all over again! Is Hornet making the same mistake that put him out of the CSWA for nine months??? No! He pulls GUNS out of the corner and hooks the leg! ONE..............NO! GUNS kicks out! Hornet hooks the inside cradle! ONE...............TWO............ THREE!!!!!! NO!!! Worthington's hand was about two inches from the mat, he's gesturing that it was only a two-count. Hornet pulls GUNS to his feet and sends him into the ropes, but GUNS ducks a clothesline. Both men are standing toe-to-toe in the ring, and they're hauling away at each other! We're over sixty minutes, and they're still going at it! TM: Apparently Troy Windham thinks an hour is long enough, because he's coming down the aisle!!! SB: And I hate to say it...but some guy in a trenchcoat is coming down the other side... and we know who was in that trenchcoat earlier!!! BB: Inside the ring, Hornet sends GUNS into the ropes again...but Troy Windham trips GUNS up and pulls him outside the ring! Troy Windham is all over GUNS, and Hornet and Ben Worthington are just staring at each other!!! Windham throws GUNS into the railing, and now suplexes him onto the concrete. Troy's setting GUNS up for something....but before he can do anything else...Hornet WITH A PLANCHA!!! He just caught Windham and slammed him into the guardrail with a suicide dive!!!! Windham is down, and now both Hornet and GUNS are on their feet. They appear to be jawing back and forth....but not for long...now MARK WINDHAM NAILS HORNET IN THE BACK WITH A CHAIR!!! TM: He came out of nowhere with that one! One second he was coming down the aisle, then we lost track of him!!! BB: Mark is going after Hornet with that chair again....but before he can, GUNS levels him with a clothesline!!! Hornet's on his feet...and again we've got some kind of staredown between GUNS and Hornet!!! They say something to each other...and now they've taken after the Windhams!!! GUNS is all over Troy....Hornet's all over Mark, and we've got a pier six brawl on the outside!!! Hornet has the chair and is using it on Mark. GUNS drops Troy with a DDT, and now he's got the crossface hooked in!!! Mark's on his feet, the chair has been thrown in the ring, and Hornet and Mark are throwing punches like they're candy!! Fans, I don't know what's going on.....I don't know if the Windhams planned this...I don't know why Mark is attacking Hornet...I don't even know if the match is over! All I know is that earlier in the night, Troy Windham maced Mark....Hornet and GUNS despised each other....and now it looks like everything's been turned on its head! I have gotten word from Rhubarb Jones that the third fall has been ruled a no-contest... which means that the match ends in a draw one fall a piece....and that the CSWA World Title is still vacant. TM: Which means that we may see *another* match between these two. BB: Apparently not if Troy and Mark have anything to say about it. All four men are still brawling inside and outside....but it looks like the Frat is on its way down to help their leader out. Fans, we're out of time...we want to thank you for joining us for this amazing event. For Sammy Benson, Teri Melton, and the rest of the CSWA, this is Bill Buckley. We'll see you in Puerto Rico!
