CSWA SHOWTIME in Boston

May 21, 1998

 

(The famous CSWA Laser Light show begins playing in the ring, making huge displays on the ring surface and spreading through the arena... it finally focuses on a huge viewing wall... where it spells out C..S..W..A.... at that point pyrotechnics in the ring posts are set off and fireworks fill the arena sky. )

BUCKLEY: Welcome fans to another great CSWA show, I'm Bill Buckley and I'm joined as usual by my pair of co-hosts..

BENSON: Come on Bill, don't talk about Teri's Melons like that.

BUCKLEY: Actually Sammy I was talking about you and the lovely Miss Teri Melton.

BENSON: Sure you were.

T. MELTON: Sammy why don't you shut up and leave the announcing to capable sober people.

BENSON: Hey I haven't had a drink since the show started.

BUCKLEY: That was two minutes ago.

BENSON: YES... A new record. That calls for a celebration... waiter... BUD LITE I SAID !!!!!

BUCKLEY: Well nonwithstanding my co-host we still have a good show planned for you tonight. We have just received word that an extra match was added to this card, and quite literally the last second. Teri, maybe you should fill us in on that.

MELTON: Bill, it would be my pleasure because tonight CSWA fans you are going to see the worlds greatest wrestler. A man with over 25 titles to his name and a career that's just begining. This is a man that has won titles all over the globe, and is among a choice group that can claim World Singles titles in over 5 different organizations...

BENSON: Think you could build this up more ?

MELTON: Why shouldn't I... after all he's my main wrestler... the one and only BILLY STARR.

BUCKLEY: Well that certainly is something of interest. Mr. Starr has had five title reigns in the CSWA history and was well on his way to the top when circumstances held him back.

BENSON: yeah, like a lack of talent, and not to mention lack of back bone. <LAUGHS>

BUCKLEY: The classless Sammy Benson is I'm sure discussing the incident that nearly left Billy Starr crippled here in the CSWA almost two years ago.

MELTON: Don't forget he made a remarkable comeback from that incident and is now back and ready for action.

BENSON: Why don't you head down to ringside for his match and leave the announcing to me. After all I miss the days I could see your basketballs dribble up and down as you were down there.

MELTON: Sammy I know you could never get a date even when you try paying for it, but I'm still not going to give you any cheap thrills. Billy doesn't need me at ringside tonight, so you can just shut up and deal with the fact that you are now the number three person in this announcing team.

BUCKLEY: Well fans let's take it down to ringside for our opening match, the surprise addition.. Billy Starr in action against Wendall Kingman.

::Cut to the ring where Wendall Kingman <who is about 6 feet and 240 pounds with short black hair> is waiting in the ring. In the ring is also Rhubarb Jones. ::

JONES: AND HIS OPPONENT.... from Augusta, Georgia and weighing in at 265 pounds... here is... BILLY STARRRRRRRRRRRRRR

::Cue Up: Blister in the Sun by the Violent Femms as Billy Starr makes his way down to ringside wearing his customary "Blazin" blue sequined robe. He gets a good fan response as he heads into the ring. Once in the ring he raises his hands in a victory pose and spins around a few times... the fan response He then takes of his robe, handing it to a ringside attendant. ::

::Ding..Ding...Ding. ::

BUCKLEY: There's the ring bell and we are just about set to begin here with our first match of the evening. Collar and elbow lock up by these two and Starr quickly turns it into a side headlock. Kingman pushes him back to the ropes and Irish Whips him across the ring... Starr on the return, shoulderblock sends Kingman to the canvas.

MELTON: Take a good luck at Billy Starr tonight, because he's in better shape then he's ever been in, and he's got the mindset back to rise to the top. This is just the first step.

BUCKLEY: He does look to be in great physical condition.

::Starr grabs Kingman as he's getting to his feet and Vertical Suplexes him to the canvas. He then immedietly gets back up and drags Kingman up too... setting him up for a Snap Suplex. ::

BUCKLEY: Starr really staying focused here in the early moments, not giving Wendall Kingman a moment to catch his breath. He's lifting up Kingman again... Swinging Neckbreaker. What a great move... A cover... one... two... no Kingman able to kick out.

MELTON: It wouldn't be funny if they gave up without a struggle.. just ask Sammy that's what his dates are like until the mace.

BENSON: That was never proven !!!!

:::in the ring Starr again lifts up the exhausted Wendall Kingman and this time sets him up for a Powerbomb... he lines it up so that he brings him down in the position that he wants him.. :::

BUCKLEY: A CRUSHING Powerbomb by Billy Starr and this one looks all but over. Starr though, not taking the three count... as he quickly mounts the top rope... SHOOTING STAR PRESS. WHAT A MOVE !!!! Starr showing us a lot tonight... The referee easily counts to three.... and Billy Starr is successful in his return to the CSWA.

MELTON: You thought I was kidding you Bill. Take a look at that, let's see it again on replay.

::replay shows the powerbomb/Shooting Star Press combination. ::

MELTON: How many wrestlers can really pull that off. Be powerful enough to perform moves like that, and yet agile enough to perform one of the toughest moves in wrestling, the Shooting STARR press. That's Billy Starr sports fans and you better get used to the name.

::Starr leaves the ring to the fans big cheers, shakes a few hands before turning to the announcing booth and blowing a kiss to Teri. ::

BENSON: Oh how sweet, I think he's fallen for you Bill.

BUCKLEY: Be realistic Sammy, that's obviously for our co-host Teri Melton.

BENSON: Whatever.

BUCKLEY: Fans we need to take a commercial break, but when we come back we

still have more great action in store.

(Cut back from commercials to the announcing booth, where Sammy Benson is trying to get a "beer man" to sell him some. )

BUCKLEY: Fans we are back from commercial break and we still have plenty more to come tonight. While we were away from break, "The Rant" Ricky Gant was seen here in the arena, talking to Commissioner Chad Merritt. Now I don't know exactly what to make of that, but given his comments on our last telecast, one must wonder exactly what is going on.

MELTON: Maybe we can get some words from them tonight and find out what's been going on.

BENSON: That damn kid. I told him my personal check was good, but he still wouldn't sell me a beer. I'll have to have some words about this to the vice commissioner in charge of refreshments.

MELTON: Do you ever even try to concentrate on the show and what the rest of us are doing ?

BENSON: And be bored to sleep ? Why bother. That's why I drink, to make Buckley look more interesting. Now as for you sweetie, if you showed a little more cleavage and shut up... you'd be my ideal woman.

BUCKLEY: Classless Sammy Benson everyone... let's give him a warm hand.

::Benson gets up and bows till he realizes the sarcasm and at that point gives Buckley a dirty look. ::

BUCKLEY: Fans we are going to take you back down to ringside for our next match, this is a return encounter for these two. "Enterprise" Michael Smith and "The X-Man" Michael Sparks met in Nashville and things are still not settled between these two.

BENSON: Where's Enterprises partners...."Voyager" and "Deep Space Nine" ?

MELTON: You are so clueless.

::Cut to the ring, where Rhubarb Jones is waiting in the ring with the house mic.::

JONES: Ladies and Gentlemen this next bout is a one fall contest with a thirty minute time limit. Introducing first, from Tampa Bay, Florida. . . weighing in at two hundred forty two pounds. . . "ENTERPRISE" MICHAEL SMITH. . .

: Cue Up: "Plush" by Stone Temple Pilots... Smith comes out from the back, wearing just his ring outfit, to a decent heel pop. Smith ignores the fans as he silently walks down to the ring, climbs between the ropes and just stands in one of the corners... As he does so, his song fades out.... ::

JONES: AND HIS OPPONENT.... He weighs in at Two Hundred... Fifty Pounds..he hails from Louisville, Kentucky.... here is... "THE X-MAN".. MICHAEL...SPARRRRKKKSSS.

::Cue Up: "Year of the Boomerang" by Rage Against the Machine as Sparks comes out to a good face pop. He acknowledges the fans to a small extent, but basically just heads down to the ring. After he climbs through the ropes, Jones leaves and the music fades out. ::

BUCKLEY: These men are face to face again, and this time we hope that a winner is declared.

::Ding...Ding::

BUCKLEY: There's the opening bell.... but Michael Smith is still just standing in the ring corner. He hasn't come out yet to meet his opponent.

::Sparks is standing in the middle of the ring, waiting for Smith to finally come out... Smith begins to swagger almost towards Sparks.. like he's going to lock up with him, but instead nails him with a sucker punch. This staggers Sparks and Smith follows it up with a standing drop-kick, which sends Sparks to the canvas. ::

BUCKLEY: Michael Smith not giving Sparks the opportunity for a fair start. He blindsided him with that roundhouse and then sends him off his feet with a drop-kick.

MELTON: You got to admit that it's a nice combination though. Catch your opponent off guard and show him that you can brawl and leave the ground, all in one set combination. He's making a point and he's doing it early.

::Sparks gets back up to his feet, but Smith is waiting right there... he pushes him back off the ropes and sends him for a ride... on the return Smith grabs him and Belly to Belly Suplexes him down hard to the canvas. ::

BUCKLEY: A quick cover, but just a one count.

::Both men get back up to their feet and Smith looks to go back on the offensive but is met by a Leg Sweep by Sparks that sends him down. He locks him up in a reverse chinlock, but Smith is soon able to reach the ropes. ::

BUCKLEY: Sparks trying to get the momentum back to where he wants it.

MELTON: Well of course he doesn't want to allow Michael Smith to control the pace of the match... that could be deadly...

::Sparks lets go of the hold and both men are back up on their feet. They collar and elbow lock up again, with Sparks getting the upperhand with a sideheadlock. Smith is able to back him up near the ropes before shoving him off and sending Sparks for the ride. On the return Sparks nails him with a flying lariat, bringing both men to the canvas. ::

BUCKLEY: Great countering by Michael Sparks. Now he needs to keep the offensive. He's lifting up Michael Smith.. SNAP SUPLEX. Brings him right back to his feet... ANOTHER SNAP SUPLEX. Sparks now starting to get into a roll and this could spell trouble for Michael Smith.

::Fans start cheering and chanting for Sparks. ::

BUCKLEY: Sparks on a roll now and he's not letting up. What's he going to do now.... he's bringing Michael Smith back to his feet again... SWINGING NECKBREAKER.

MELTON: Smith is feeling that one, I'm sure of it.

::Smith rolls out of the ring and sort of falls down to the arena floor. ::

BUCKLEY: Looks like Michael Smith needs a bit of a breather here. He decided to get out of the ring and try to collect himself.

MELTON: Well it might be worth it. I mean he's already getting back up to his feet, and this "timeout" can certainly come in handy when trying to break the momentum of the match.

::In the ring Sparks seems to line things up and then bounces off the far ropes.. he flies over the top rope and down onto Michael Smith. ::

::Huge Fan Pop::

BUCKLEY: What a suicide dive. He his Smith square in the chest on that one and sent him down hard.

MELTON: And the fans love him for it. Listen to them out here. You know Sparks might be a perfect partner for Billy. Sparks has a lot of talent.

::Sparks gets back to his feet and slides under the bottom rope, breaking the referee's count. The referee begins it again, but Sparks stops it after a few. Finally Smith is back on his feet and climbs up the ring steps and onto the apron. He points at Sparks and has a few choice words. ::

BUCKLEY: Looks like tempers might be flaring a little bit and with good cause.

::Smith grabs the ring ropes like he's going to head back in, but from the other side Sparks grabs the ring ropes and jerks them, slingshoting Smith over the top rope and back into the ring. ::

BUCKLEY: Michael Sparks is really making an impact here early in the match. Sparks just soaking in the fans cheers. He’s really enjoying this. He’s pumping up the fans, and now he’s pointing to the ceiling.

MELTON: He’s heading up top. I don’t know what he has planned. Sparks climbing up to the top rope now.

BUCKLEY: But he took too long, Smith is slowly getting back to his feet, and he sees Sparks up top.

::Smith shakes the top rope, causing Sparks to lose his balance and land on the top rope… crotch first. ::

BUCKLEY: That just had to hurt. Smith now moving in. He’s up on the second rope and he opens up with a few closed fists to Sparks head. He’s setting him up. SUPERPLEX. Covers.. ONE.. TWO.. Kickout by Michael Sparks.

MELTON: He almost had him on that one. Smith really needs to get the momentum back now. He’s hurting too though.

::Michael Smith gets back up to his feet slowly and lines up waiting for Michael Sparks to get up. When he does, he meets him with an elbow to the head. He then follows it up with a Backbreaker. ::

BUCKLEY: Another cover by Smith.. Again just a two count.

::Sparks is down on the canvas and Michael Smith is standing over him. He drags him back up to his feet, but Sparks grabs him for an inside cradle. ::

BUCKLEY: Almost got the three count there.. He caught him off guard and gets a two count. Both of these men are just giving it everything they have.

::Both men get back up to their feet, Sparks kicks Smith in the midsection and then nails him with a spinning neckbreaker. ::

MELTON: That had to hurt.

BUCKLEY: That's certainly true. Sparks now starting to get the wind back into him, as he's had his ups and downs in this match. He's not going to let up on Michael Smith... brings him back up to his feet... DDT. This could be all... a cover... ONE... TWO... No just barely able to get out of that.

MELTON: Sparks made the mistake on that one. He never hooked the leg. That might have been the difference.

::Sparks gets back to his feet and he signals that he's going to end it. ::

BUCKLEY: This looks like he's calling for the Texas Cloverleaf. If Sparks is able to lock this in, this should be over.

::Sparks begins to lock in the Cloverleaf, but Smith is able to kick him away. ::

BUCKLEY: He can't get him. He's going to try again.

::Sparks tries again, but again Smith is able to defend himself. Smith then grabs Sparks by the hair and pounds him with a big roundhouse right. Sparks is stunned and Smith is back up on his feet. He nails him with a combination, and a third straight punch. He looks like a boxer in the ring now... ::

BUCKLEY: Smith has shown a lot and now it's time for him to get down and dirty I guess. Sparks is stunned in the middle of the ring.. STANDING BELLY TO BELLY SUPLEX by Smith. He brought him down hard. A Quick one count, but that's all. Smith right back to his feet and Sparks is also getting up again... Smith on the offensive, looks like another belly to belly.. NO INVERTED Atomic Drop...

::Smith immedietely follows this up by bouncing off the ropes and delivering a clothesline that levels Sparks. ::

BUCKLEY: OH MY What a clothesline.

MELTON: He almost took off his head.

BUCKLEY: Smith drops the elbow... Cover... ONE....TWO...THR- NOOOO He's able

to barely kick out. Michael Sparks is in trouble big time now. He's got to find a way to turn things around in a hurry, or Michael Smith will finish him off.

::Smith gets up and is taunting the fans, waiting for Michael Sparks to get back up to his feet. The fans are giving him a good heel pop... really getting into it.::

MELTON: I don't know why he's not finishing this. It's all but over right now. Michael Sparks is out of it.

::Sparks slowly pulls himself up to his feet, using the ropes and Smith charges at him... Sparks moves partially out of the way, pulling down the ropes and both men head over the top. Sparks is able to hold on to the ropes for a second and break his fall, but Smith lands hard on the arena floor. ::

BUCKLEY: something like that is luck pure and simple. He was operating on instnict if that.

::The audio gets a little fuzzy for a few seconds.... it's Sammy Benson talking sort of off mic as he gets his headset back on. ::

BENSON: <barely audible> Listen you flat foot, Sipowitz wanna be, I told you that I belong here... I'm a professional broadcaster.. so go back to your three dollar an hour job of making sure no one steals a hot dog and let me do my job. <LOUDER NOW... As he gets the headset on> These people here can't even understand simple concepts.... GIVE ME A BEER. Is that so hard ? Nooooooooo so why can't these 18 year old pimple nerds give me one .

BUCKLEY: In case you forgot Sammy, we do have a show still going on.

BENSON: Oh who cares....

BUCKLEY: Perhaps the fans who tuned in to watch the show and not listen to you ramble about security and the vending personal.

::Outside the ring, but Sparks and Smith are trying to get back up. Both are looking a little groggy now. Smith gets up first and drags Sparks to his feet. He goes to Irish Whip him, but Sparks reverses it and sends Smith into the guardrail with a crash. Sparks then crawls back into the ring to break the count, before rolling back outside. ::

BUCKLEY: Sparks looking to use the outside to his advantage now.

::He lifts up Smith and throws him this time into the ringsteps which break into two pieces... a cut opens up on Smith. ::

BUCKLEY: That's got to be a big turning point in this match. A cut is now open on Smith. Sparks is really taking control now. What's he doing ? He's setting him up for something...

::Sparks grabs Smith and lays his head and neck over the ring barrier. He then dives back into the ring... runs off the far ropes and suicide dives over the top rope and down Smith is.. ::

::You can hear the "ooohs" and cheers of the fans::

BUCKLEY: OH MY !!! What carnage. Smith is out of it. He's just laying on the floor. His neck went right into that ring barrier, because of the Sparks Suicide Dive. Plus Sparks was kind of long on the jump and he went on into the front row.

BENSON: That bastard... he knocked over that beer. A perfectly good beer didn't have to die.

BUCKLEY: But you forget about the man in the front row that almost got knocked into and the two folding chairs that have been flipped over. I think one of them came close to, if not hit a fan.

BENSON: Big deal.

::Sparks slowly gets back to his feet. Slingshots the ring barrier and lands on Smith with a legdrop. ::

BUCKLEY: Look at him, he's still not done. He's still going after him with all that he's got. Sparks now slides back into the ring again, and good thing because the referee must have been close to calling this a no contest or double count out.

MELTON: Not something that either man wants. They want this to be decided. Not another draw.

::Smith is not really getting to his feet.... so Sparks drags him back into the ring... rolls him under the bottom rope into the middle of the ring... follows him in and covers him. ::

BUCKLEY: ONE...TWO...THREE--- NO.. NO.. I don't know how but Smith is able

to get a shoulder up. Sparks can't believe it either. He doesn't know what he can do to finish this guy off.

::Sparks lifts Smith back up to his feet again.... scoops him up... turns him around... and Tombstone Piledrivers him hard down to the mat. ::

BUCKLEY: Another cover... ONE...TWO... THREEE..... he got him ...

BENSON: Finally

BUCKLEY: A Great showing though by Michael Smith. I don't think we've seen the end of this feud. Let's head to Rhubarb for the official word.

JONES: HERE IS YOUR WINNER..."The X-Man" Michael Sparks.

::Fans give a good face pop for Sparks. ::

BUCKLEY: Fans like we said earlier, "The Rant" Ricky Gant has been seen in the arena tonight and I think we are going to find out what’s going on after this commercial.

::Cut To Commercials for the upcoming Primetimes and SuperPrimetimes that are coming to various cities around the country. As well as an announcement of an upcoming CSWA Pay Per View. ::


(Cut back from commercial to an interview area, where they have put up a horrible little sleazy apartment background. Sitting at a wooden chair in the middle of this "set" is none other then "The Rant" Ricky Gant", wearing his typical blue jeans and black T-shirt. His cleanly shaved head is covered by a "MHW Mark" baseball cap. )

"THE RANT" RICKY GANT: You know I got the call the other night from some big shot wrestling promoter and he said, "Rant, we've seen your style and we think you'll fit in here." and I had to laugh. See the Rant doesn't make friends that easily, hell I can name half a dozen promotions where they won't even let me in the door because I have a little bit of an attitude.

But then see I met the president of this promotion and saw what's going on and saw why he wanted me to come here. First of all, he's as crazy as I am, and I have to respect that. Plus he's got some morons running around here, morons who you might say I have a past with. And they are making some big static, talking a lot of bull <beep again and what better way to take care of business then to bring back someone he hates.

Well guess what Merritt. You thought you were going to get an out of control guy AND make him a corporate man at the same time ? Just because I've got some history with these guys, don't mean that I don't just love em to death. See your plan backfired because like the hat said, I'm pro MHW dude and I'm going to make amends with all the people who I offended during that period of time. Matter of fact, what I want to do now is bring on out the man who I guess you could say was that heart of our problem. So why don't you all give a warm welcome to the one and only president of the MHW, Bobbie Morris.

(The Fans sit in stunned silence as a midget wearing a three piece suit walks down to ringside. )

BUCKLEY: That's obviously not MHW President Morris.

BENSON: Shut up this is the best stuff I've seen since Miss Melons here lost her shirt.

MELTON: That's MEL - T - ON

BENSON: Whatever.

(The midget climbs up to ringside, falling back down once before finally crawling his way up. He climbs over the bottom rope and walks over to where Ricky is sitting. They shake hands and the Rant gets back on the mic. )

GANT: See Mr. Morris or Bobbie as I've been told I can now call you... I told you, I'm a company man now. See the sleazy New York Apartment that you ah I mean Meloneer said I lived in... well here it is, recreated for your viewing pleasure. I'm set, I'm the company man.... I'm through with this f'n charade.

(Gant takes the midget and starts slapping the bejesus out of him finally just piledriving him right in the middle of the ring. He then folds down the wooden chair and scoops back up the midget... Triple Powerbombing him on the chair. He finally just leaves the midget alone, but not before collapsing the little scenery on top of him. )

GANT: OH MY GOD, I KILLED BOBBIE !!!! I'M A BASTARD !!! Will South Park Wrestling ever go on ? Oh sorry that's Meloneer's Home Wrestling... well who cares what they call that piece of <BEEP Meloneer, Black, Killer Instinct, take up and take notice. The Rant is back baby and I've got some unfinished business for you all. You thought it was bad when I "uncovered" that "elaborate death scheme" ?? You thought it was bad when I humiliated R.F. Meloneer by showing him to be the corporate panty waste that he is ? Well, I'm just warming up. The best is certainly yet to come... and when I'm finished anyone connected to that three ring hick regional promotion will DEFINITELY WISH THEY FAKED THEIR OWN DEATH.

(Fade to another series of commercials… when they come back, they are back on the announcing booth. )

BUCKLEY: Well I guess we found out what Gant was doing here and I must say that I don’t think Commissioner Merritt needs help with Rocky Ford Meloneer but he’s definitely got some.

BENSON: That’s if someone can finally control "The Rant". If you remember Morris sent Meloneer to try and calm him down, but no one stops the Rant. Especially if he has something to bite into, like he did in the past. This should be interesting.

BUCKLEY: It certainly has potential. Fans we still have more great action for you tonight.

BENSON: The only action I want to see tonight is Teri here disrobing.

BUCKLEY: That would be farther then you’ve ever gotten with a woman.

BUCKLEY: Anyway, if we could turn the discussion back to why we are here, and that's WRESTLING, perhaps we could get on with the next match of our card. Our next match has been sanctioned by the CSWA as a top contenders bout.

MELTON: Which is a joke. A top contenders match without the super STARR of the CSWA, Billy Starr ? Impossible.

BENSON: While I disagree on your fallen starr boyfriend, I for ONCE agree that this might not be the best two to decide the top contender. With names like Guns, 2 Windhams, Hornet and those other old fools it's a shock that Merritt would realize that someone else might deserve a title shot.

BUCKLEY: Haven't you had enough trouble with Commissioner Merritt ? You really want to start more...

BENSON: What's he going to do... make me work with another midget ? It looks like he's got two bald ones hidden under Teri's dress. Just let me rub their heads.

MELTON: Try it and it will take four doctors to find your balls after I kick them straight to your head.

BENSON: Relax woman, you need to release those restriction clothes... you're too tense. Let me give you a FULL body massage. That’ll help.

BUCKLEY: Come on you two, let's talk a little bit about wrestling for a change.

BENSON: OK, I heard Deacon before the show getting ready for this match. Him and his manager the Preacher were chanting.

BUCKLEY: Finally something related to this match.

BENSON: Yeah Bill.... you should try their chant.... OWWA, TAJO, KIAM...

BUCKLEY: OWWA....TAJO...KIAM....

BENSON: Faster now...

BUCKLEY: OWWA.TAJO.KIAM

BENSON: Once more faster...

BUCKLEY: OH WHAT A JOKE I AM...... Sammy you are a brainless, classless little man.

MELTON: And you expected otherwise ?

BUCKLEY: Let's head to the ring where the Eliminator is already in the ring, waiting for his match. What? What happened to the lights? That music...its...its Deacon's gregorian chant.

MELTON: Well, what'd you expect from this guy?

BENSON: My drink...Made me spill...drink.

MELTON: Well now maybe you can call the match instead.

BUCKLEY Look at his opponent in the ring, squirming a little it seems. A gold spotlight is shining in the curtains. Their walks out the Shepherd carrying the incense

BENSON: I didn't know those things spit out so much smoke.

MELTON: I didn't know you'd ever seen one.

BUCKLEY: This Deacon seems to have the crowd fully behind him. They really get into this psuedo-mystical man of the cloth.

BENSON: Yeah, well he'd better get me another drink!

::Shepherd climbs in the ring as Deacon makes his way up the steps as usual they are making his opponent wait out the entrance, listen to his theme chant in virtual darkness. ::

BUCKLEY: Wow! They have a red cross light in the center of the ring.

::Deacon is in the corner, he crosses himself in that time-honored tradition, in an explosive amount of force he sends his arms out to the side of his body in that cross position. The lights are on, and the crowd responds in full. Deacon walks under the cross, he pulls the hood down off his head and then stops to meet his opponent in the eyes. ::

BUCKLEY: What a stare. He finishes disrobing and the bell is ready to sound.

::Ding..Ding..::

BUCKLEY: There's the opening bell and our top contender match is set to start. I've got to say that the giant Deacon looks like he could be tough to beat, and it will be interesting to see if the Eliminator can overcome the size difference.

MELTON: Don't forget that the Preacher can also play a significant role in this match.. That's an added distraction for the Eliminator... definitely not something he needs against an opponent like this.

::Collar and Elbow lock up... Deacon just shoves Eliminator away, and Eliminator lands on the canvas. ::

BENSON: That guy stumbles more then I do on my way to the parking lot after one of these cards.

:: Eliminator gets up, shoots Deacon a dirty look and charges at him. Deacon is ready though and he lands a big boot to the face. The Eliminator again winds up on his back. ::

BUCKLEY: The Eliminator seems to be losing his temper here early, and that can't be a good thing when he has to face a man of this size. It doesn't look like he can just overpower him.

::The Eliminator is a little slower to his feet this time, and as he gets up he's rubbing his jaw. Eliminator fakes another charge in and when Deacon raises his big boot this time, Eliminator grabs it. ::

BUCKLEY: This could be trouble for the big man.

::Eliminator looks to the fans both ways... and finally uses his big leg to swing the Deacon around.. grabbing him from behind and bringing him crashing down with a Back Suplex. ::

BUCKLEY: What a display of power by the Eliminator. He got the seven footer up and crashed him down to the canvas. The Eliminator now quick to follow it up.

::Eliminator rolls on top of the Deacon and starts to unload with closed fists. ::

::FAN CHANTS ALONG... ONE...TWO...THREE...FOUR...FIVE...SIX... SEVEN...EIGHT... NINE... ::

::The referee calls for a break... so Eliminator rolls off of Deacon... but just for a second then he rolls right back on top of him and grabs both sides of his head and just slams his head repeatedly against the canvas. ::

BUCKLEY: Eliminator really taking it to the big man with his brawling, but he better be careful, that's the second time now that the referee has had to call for the break.

BENSON: Well that referee isn't counting to five to prove that he's smarter then the guys in the ring. That's the rules and Eliminator has that time to release. That's just smart wrestling.

BUCKLEY: That might be somewhat true, but Eliminator is now back on his feet. Deacon is trying to get up too, but he's shaking some cobwebs out.

MELTON: Well that's because the Eliminator is being smart. He needs to keep Deacon off his feet, and he needs to keep up the punishment. It's going to take a lot of action to wear down a big man like this.

:: Deacon uses the ropes to get back up to his feet, and when he does he is met by a Leaping Knee Smash by Eliminator that sends him back slumping to the ropes. Eliminator whips off the ropes again and nails him with another big knee to the chest area. ::

BENSON: I'm shocked that you haven't told us how Billy would do it yet.

MELTON: Shut up Sammy, or I can have him show you how to beat up a whiny drunk wrestling announcer.

::Eliminator goes back to the ropes a third time, but when he attacks he's met by a back body drop by the Deacon that sends the Eliminator right over the top rope and straight down to the arena floor. ::

BUCKLEY: If you two would pay attention, we actually have a wrestling match going on. The Eliminator was doing quite well, but as the cliche says.. "he went to the well once too often" and when he did the Deacon sent him for a ride all the way down.

::Eliminators manager Hot Scott tries to help his wrestler back to his feet. It takes a little while, but Eliminator is finally back up on his feet and rolls under the bottom rope. ::

BUCKLEY: This is bad for the Eliminator. He gave Deacon enough time to regroup a little bit and he also took quite a fall.

::Deacon lifts up the Eliminator and Body Slams him down hard to the canvas. He then kneels down and starts to choke the Eliminator. The referee calls for the break and Deacon lets go. Just for a moment though before picking up The Eliminator off the ground and chokes him again.. CHOKESLAM.::

BUCKLEY: Deacon in control now. Elbow drop. ONE..TWO.. KICKOUT by the Eliminator. Deacon though lifts him right back up off the canvas. Irish Whip to the ropes.. SIDEWALK SLAM.

MELTON: That was crushing. This could be over right here.

BUCKLEY: No just a two count. But Deacon is close. And he’s not easing up. He’s lifting the Eliminator right back to his feet.

::Deacon lifts up The Eliminator and gives him a "razor’s edge" power bomb. He then goes for the cover. ::

BUCKLEY: That was the ALTER CALL. It’s all over. ONE..TWO..THREEEEEE this one is history. The Deacon wins the match. Can anyone stop this big man?

BENSON: I’m sure Teri will tell us how Billy can.

MELTON: Shut up Sammy.

BUCKLEY: Fans we will be right back.


BB:  Fans, we're back here in theFleet Center, and we're ready for Mark Windham and Hornet to have it...wait a second, CSWA Commissioner Chad Merritt is walking down toward the ring.

CM: (on his way to the ring, microphone in hand) That's right, Bill. Folks, I know that you're ready to see your favorite psycho and hero have it out in the middle of this ring. (crowd pops) But before that, I've got an announcement that some of you might be interested in. In fact, Hornet and Windham might be interested as well.

When Thomas and I brought back the CSWA, I decided the only way to do it was to do it big. I put Mike Randalls and JT Tyler in the ring together; Mark Windham and Troy Windham....and finally, I gave Hornet and GUNS a chance to settle things with the World Title on the line. But the Windham clan didn't let that finish, so there was no World Champion.

In Nashville, I decided to let all four of them go at....but Godreign has different ideas, along with Mike Randalls. And so, still no World Champion.

Well, the belt has been vacant for too long. And if men like GUNS, Hornet, Troy Windham, Mark Windham, etc. can't win it from amongst themselves....then it's time to open up the field.

Beginning on May 31 at SuperPRIMETIME in Dallas, Texas, the CSWA will hold the first round of a 32-man tournament for the CSWA World Heavyweight Championship. (crowd pops huge) The tournament will progress one round at a time until the FINAL FOUR is held on June 21, at the CSWA's first reunion pay-per-view event.................FISH FUND XII. (another pop) And before all you reporters in the back start asking, no I haven't decided who the #1 seed is, and I haven't decided who's in what bracket. We'll make all those announcements in a press conference after PRIMETIME in San Diego.

But rest assured, by the end of the June, the CSWA will have it's champion...and it'll be the man that go through 31 others. (Merritt steps out of the ring)

BB: What an announcement!!! We'll be back after these messages!


BB: What a great night for the return of CSWA SHOWTIME! It's been non-stop action all night, and to top that off we just heard the announcement from Co-commissioner Chad Merritt that there will be 32 man tournament to crown the NEW CSWA WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION! That announcement got everyone here in Boston fired up!

TM: It got me fired up as well. I think it was a great effort by Merritt and Thomas to try and crown a new champion in their own ways...but the time for unique ideas has now passed. Over the last month, the point has been made that there's just too many men who want that belt. A 32 man tournament, best man wins....I think is the only way to determine a champion.

SB: You thinking is a start. Frankly, it's bad. You're paid to sit there, fetch my drinks...and look pretty. You're not here to make insightful comments...you're here to remind us all what married men across the country are missing. Or those who don't have enough money...

TM: I know what you're implying Sammy, and let me just say yours is coming soon, fat man.

SB: Whatever there, Melons.

BB: I'm glad to see that we've been able to keep things civil again. (coughs) Normally, folks this is the allotted time for the MAIN EVENT of the evening. Tonight, however is a bit different. Former UNIFIED World Champion HORNET has requested this time to talk with best friend, former best friend...former tag partner..who knows anymore. Anyway, HORNET has asked to talk in ring with Mark Windham. A confrontation of sorts.

SB: That's the one thing I wouldn't want in this world, a confrontation with Mark Windham. The man isn't playing with a full deck for starters. Why HORNET would want him in the middle of the ring is beyond me.

TM: Sammy, as our audience watching at home knows there's a lot that's beyond you. I think Bill had the answer. HORNET wants to find out where the two of them stand. The past three years, their relationship has been confusing at best.

BB: You hit the nail on the head, Teri. Going back three years, it looked like HORNET and Windham were on the outs. But, as it's been well documented the two of them proved their 'distant relations' to be a set up for GUNS. Since that time, a lot has happened to both men. HORNET was kicked out of the league for a while.....and Windham's family

problems have morphed him into a wanderer. Obviously there's been a lack of communication as to where the friendship lies. And tonight, you have to respect HORNET for wanting to get the matter settled.

SB: If there's one thing we've learned over the last 10 years, it's that nothing in the CSWA is ever settled easily. I don't run with either party here, and thank goodness for that, but it doesn't take half a brain--which is good news for Teri--to see that the problems begin and end with Timmy, Mark's brother.

BB: I hate to say it, but you're probably right. Since he entered the league years ago, he's been what Mark has called a demon. Intentionally or not he's turned Mark's life upside down....and as Windham himself has said in many ways he feels like a lost soul. When the very foundation of what your life is built on, is shaken....where do you go?

TM: Certainly Timmy coming in to his life has been a source of pain...but there's got to be more. He's hurt those close to him, and darn near killed a few men in the CSWA. But you know, guys...no man is without problems...least of all HORNET. He's been drugged, kidnapped, etc..etc. But he's how should I say...sane. Despite the feelings Windham has

for that man, I know for fact that HORNET still cares very much for Mark..and maybe tonight is an attempt at a..I dunno, intervention. If Mark Windham the man, is nothing more than a cry for help...then tonight help may be in the form of HORNET.

SB: Here's the deal, roll tape...cut to footage, yadda, yadda, yadda...give me my check..and let's move on.

BB: Sammy Benson folks, a tribute to hard working men and women all across the country.

SB: Don't think I won't do it Buckley...

BB: I dare you... fans, I'm being told that Rudy Seizter is in the back with HORNET.

(Cutto: Rudy Seizter backstage near the entrance way with HORNET)

RS: HORNET, a lot has been made of the 'meeting' tonight between yourself and Mark Windham. You asked for this time, what are you hoping to accomplish?

H: That's actually a very good question Rudy. I'm just hoping to get Mark out there, away from Troy, GUNS, whomever. One on one, and find out what he's thinking. I'm making this up as a go along. (smiles)

("The Greatest American Hero" theme begins to play)

RS: That's your music...good luck, HORNET.

H: (walking out the curtains and into the arena) Thanks Rudy.

(Hornet walks out as the 20,000 plus in the Fleet Center erupt)

BB: Here comes HORNET, guys. Listen to this crowd!! They adore him in Boston! He's wearing his long white tights, and he's got his face painted up...if I didn't know better I'd say he was ready to wrestle!

SB: You don't know better.

BB: Hush. Hornet's in the ring now...waiting. I don't know if we're even sure that Windham will show tonight. Teri, do we have any conformation that he'll ----

(Mark Windham, wearing jeans, black boots, a black t-shirt, and a trench coat, starts to head down the aisle)

TM: You were saying Bill? (laughs)

BB: I guess that's conformation enough..Windham is here, and he's on his way down! Look at him though, I can't say he looks any better than he has been recently.

SB: He's a bum...a sick, deranged bum.

BB: I'm sure he appreciates those comments. Mark, enters the ring himself.. Well, here we go. Both men in the middle of the ring, nose to nose. Where we go from here is anyone's guess...

H: (pulling a mic from his tights) You showed..

MW:(also with a mic in hand) Don't seem surprised. The way I understood it..this was more of a challenge, than a 'meeting'.

H: I won't beat around the bush... Mark, what the hell is wrong with you? (crowd goes wild)

MW: (laughs) Well..

H: No, this is still me. You've had 6 years to deal with the kid, the problems. If you can't figure it out, pay the $140 an hour and get help. You can hate me, you can fight me, you can try and do whatever you please...but the fact remains I'm still your best friend! Look at you life Mark. You're separated from your wife, you baby girl. You've hurt those close to

you...and for what? Huh? For what? Mark, take control! You were once a man...

MW: Once? No, what I once was was something I'll never be again. You know everybody that's so close to me, wants the old Mark Windham. They want me to slip into that skin again. Well, friend....I shed that skin for a reason. You know, this ordeal...the pain, the suffering... it's not about Jewels, or Thelma, or you....it's about Mark Windham. My heart was black, long before Timmy came back...before Alan returned looking for his lost son's love and affection. The fate of Mark Windham, was sealed before those events. I'm just thankful it went down that way. You want the reasoning??? (laughs)

Timmy and his quest to find his father didn't upset me. It broke me. Broke me down to the point where I was nothing but a shell of myself. I see now, though that it had to happen that way. I was told it had to be like this. The power, the truth, fate...who knows why or how it works..but I was told it had to happen that way.

H: Hey if you wanna get out some aggression...if you wanna beat yourself down, let's go for it. I came prepared tonight for a match. If you want to hurt someone, let's work this out tonight.. (Hornet takes off his robe and starts to loosen up)

MW: (seems disgusted) You wanted to the reasoning...I gave it to you. I was a lost soul. I'm still not sure what it was...but something in this world saved me. And now, I must serve that purpose too. The quest to find out who Mark Windham is, is still a virgin effort. There are those who were like me....Lost. We'll find it together. You say you stand with me? Then don't try and stand in my path. I've gotta find the truth...and when i do...I imagine, I hope....you'll be there as well.

H: Mark....

(Troy Windham and the Frat break out of the crowd, and into the ring...nailing Hornet from behind with a pipe)

BB: What's going on!! Troy Windham and the Frat!! That's Julius Godreign! They're working over Hornet...his back!! That back has been injured in the past, and they're doing a number on it right now!! Look at Mark...he's not doing a thing!

SB: He's with the FRAT!! Are they the truth that he's been seeking??

BB: They've got a chair...and it's being rammed into Hornet's back!! This is horrible!! Good gracious do something Mark!

(fans cheer)

BB: Here comes GUNS!! He's got a baseball bat! GUNS is clearing house...he's going after Windham and Godreign!! I'm not sure if he's down here to save HORNET, or just to get at Troy and his goons! GUNS now, standing over the fallen body of HORNET...you know he has to be thinking about taking a shot at HORNET.

TM: No love lost there....he's just looking at him though.

BB: Mark moves in....oh he just kicked GUNS in the gut!!! WHAT'S HE DOING?? IMPLANT DDT on the chair!! My gosh! All heck has broken loose! Was he protecting HORNET....or... this is crazy! On the outside, Troy is jumping up and down...he's proud of his cousin now...

TM: Look at Mark...he just shook his head at Troy.

BB: He just said something to Troy Windham what was it!! Troy is shocked!

SB: I think he said, "The awakening has begun". What in the world.

BB: We're out of time fans, we'll see you in San Diego!!

(Fadeout as GUNS gets to his knees, Ben Worthington attends to Hornet, and Mark Windham walks out of the ring and back up the aisle)
