Remembering Timmy A Timmy Windham Memorial Philadelphia, PA November 21, 1998 |
Featuring Eddy Love and Masked Man vs. Mark Vizzack and mystery partner for the CSWA World Championship |
BB (V/O): The following production is copyrighted by CS Enterprises, presented in conjunction with U-62 Television and Vizz Productions.
(Stillshot pictures of Timmy Windham, in matches and otherwise, begin appearing on the screen.)
Voiceover: At eighteen years old, he became one of the youngest and most controversial wrestlers ever. Three years later, he had defeated Mike Randalls for the Enterprise World Championship. In five years, he captured half of the Unified World Tag Team Titles on four separate occasions. He started a charitable foundation for missing children, and went on to become an outspoken advocate of childrens' rights. In his final moments, he did the only thing he could, he ran into a burning building to save a family member. It was the only thing he could do.....trying to save his family was the only thing we could imagine he'd do. He fulfilled our every expectation...he was everything we had to expect him to be. From the misunderstood "Muppet Kid" to Timmy Windham, the CSWA superstar who only wanted to see his family reunited.
Tonight, Timmy Windham will not enter the Corestates Arena. Tonight, the CSWA is a little less than what it once was. Tonight, we are all a little more for having known him. Tonight, we remember accomplishments, we remember special moments, we remember an incredible athlete, and an even more incredible man. Tonight, we remember Timmy.
BB: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to LABOR DAY LAYOUT '98 here in Philadelphia's Corestates Arena. Tonight, we forego the lightshow, we hold off on the fireworks for a few moments. We hope that you will join us and the capacity crowd here in a moment of silence for Timmy Windham.
SB: Well said, Buckley.
(Rhubarb Jones stands in the middle of the ring, having just announced the moment of silence to the crowd. The bell begins to ring. It reverberates throughout the silent crowd once, twice, three times. After the tenth time, the crowd slowly begins to murmur. That sounds is replaced as the standing crowd begins to clap, applauding the fallen CSWA superstar.)
BB: (taking a seat) Folks, I don't know that I've ever seen anything quite like that. CSWA officials and the WIndham family have asked me to convey their appreciation for all the cards and letters. Any memorial donations can be sent to the Timmy Windham Memorial Fund in care of the CSWA. All proceeds will be forwarded to the Windham Foundation for Children, started three years ago by Timmy.
SB: I don't suppose Mark was one of the ones to 'convey appreciation.'
BB: Not that I know of, Sammy.
SB: Figures.
BB: Fans, we've got some incredible action for you tonight, including a massive Main Event. Tonight, Eddy Love and the mysterious masked man who seems to want to *be* Eddy Love team up against Mark Vizzack, and a mystery partner of his own. And in a catch thrown out by Co-Commissioner Chad Merritt in order to force Love to wrestle the match....the CSWA World Championship is on the line! Whoever captures the pin will be the World Champ!
SB: Which means either Eddy Love has to stay in the match the *whole* time, or he's really gotta trust his masked double.
BB: Along with all the wrestling action tonight, fans, we're going to have various members of the current CSWA roster give their thoughts on Timmy's passing. That all starts off right now. Hit it, Marvin.
(CUTTO: ELI AND IVY IN THE DRESSING ROOM AREA, BOTH WEARING BLACK ARMBANDS IN REMEMBRANCE OF TIMMY)
IVY: He could always make you laugh.... he never had a harsh word for anyone until he got mixed up with the rest of his family. and when he brought Melons a bouquet of roses.... There wasn't a dry eye in the house.
ELI: "The Muppet Kid" was his monicker. Sure, you laughed when he wore the green face paint, or when he refused to drop his "Kermy" doll for a match, but one thing could never be taken away from him, and that was his ability. He's one of the few people to have beaten Mike Randalls, and for the EN World Title, no less. Former UNIFIED Tag Champion, all around good guy. Timmy, this one's for you.
(FADEOUT)
BB: Fans, I'm sure you'll join us in welcoming our second co-host to the desk here in Philly, Teri Melton!
SB: Don't you mean THREE co-hosts? I mean, Melons is two all by herself.
TM: That's it, Sammy.... Your contract runs out tonight, so enjoy it while it lasts. The SECOND Eddy Love retains the title, I'm going to dance on your grave.
SB: Don't dance too hard, you'll give yourself a pair of black eyes.
(Teri starts toward Sammy, only to be restrained by Buckley)
BB: Listen! If this IS to be Sammy's last night with us, YOU TWO WILL BE CIVIL. I'm tired of this!
(They sit down quietly...)
SB (mocking): ....I'm tired of this....
BB: In any case, we DO have a wrestling event for you tonight. Sammy, I don't think a Main Event has had so many possible outcomes since... well, EVER. Not only will the winner of the fall be the NEW CSWA Champion--
SB: New? When Eddy Love wins the match, we won't have a new champion, now will we?
TM: For once, Sammy, we agree on something. But, to give that worm Mark Vizzack credit, he DOES have his shot. But I feel that the mystery partners will play a larger role in this match then we think.
SB: They'll play a role, sure, but the FOCUS of the match will be Love and Vizzack. It won't matter who the partners are, these two are ready to KILL each other!
BB: Uh... no, Sammy, I believe you're referring to the US Title match, where "Total Elimination" Eli Flair finally gets his shot at the gold when he takes on Kevin Powers in a Barbed Wire Match! You've got to give the advantage to Flair in this one.
TM: But with that bitch in his corner he's headed for ruin.... if she shows her face over here for ONE SECOND I'm gonna have to hurt her.
SB: Tell ya what... I'll hold the feminazi down and you beat her with her cane. Sounds good, huh?
TM: Sammy, it's moments like these that I think I'm really gonna miss you.
SB: Really?
TM: Yeah, good thing for me it's only the second one since I started working here.
BB: AHEM! We've still got a card to talk about. Moving on, we've got yet another mystery partner, as Poison Ivy and her partner take on Powers' Pretties, Susan and Gina. Who could her partner be?
(Blank stares from Sammy and Teri)
BB: Riiiiiiight.... And of course, we'll see a six man... um.. five-and-a-half-man tag team match as Arrogance and Ray S. Cornette take on the Disco Express and the Disco Midget.
SB: Buckley?
BB: Hmmm?
SB: We've only got three hours...
BB: Folks, before we get to the first match of the night, I've been told that we've got somebody entering from the stage entrance. (puts his hand to his ear) Fans, I'm being told that now entering the arena are the Privateers, Jacob and Edward Drake, along with "British Bad Girl" Lisa Drake.
SB: Ooooh, I already like 'em.
(Back out at the stage entrance)
Jacob: THIS is the place?! What a bloody dump this arena is!
Edward: Jacob, you know we wanted to go out and conquer new places after the last place closed its doors...I don't know who is here, although I've heard enough about this place to know it perfectly fits into our plans.
Lisa: Despite the fact they do not offer competition for women such as myself, I will be here to make sure you two accomplish your goals. And if they ever start such a division, you can bet I'll join and conquer the bloody fools who dare to oppose me.
Jacob: As we shall with the bloody fools who are already here! And the guy in charge around here...wait until he sees who is showing up to stake their claim!
Edward: I remember his words well last time we were in Greensboro...and he'll learn...you don't mess around with the British...especially the Drakes!
Lisa: We shall make that point to him...and if that means the two of you have to break every team in existence in this bloody league...
Jacob: You know we'll do just that!
Edward: Hail Britannia! Hail the Drakes!
BB: Fans, I've been told in my earpiece that as of yet, the
Privateers have *not* been signed to a CSWA contract. In fact, if I remember
correctly, they once had a run-in of words with Chad Merritt just before an NWCI event in
Greensboro. As we get ready for our first match, featuring the debut of a brand new
wrestler here in the CSWA, the Privateers and Lisa Drake are taking their seats in the
arena, at about the sixth row just to the right of ringside. Apparently they're here
to study up on the competition.
The Ball Player vs. Carl Brigsby |
Coming down to the ring in a baseball uniform, The Ball Player got a few cheers from the local crowd, and a few sideways glances. Brigsby tried to take advantage early, catching TBP with a dropkick to the back. But The Ball Player quickly recovered, rolling out of the way of Brigsby's elbow drop, and following things up with a sledgehammer blow to the back. Brigsby quickly rolled outside the ring, only to find himself 'called out' when he got nailed with a baseball slide, sending him into the metal railing. TBP rolled Brigsby back inside, quickly dropping an elbow of his own, then heading up top for a top rope head butt for the one-two-three.
BB: Fans, before we head to our next debut match, here's another look at Timmy Windham from other CSWA wrestlers.
PREACHER: It is always sad when one of God's warriors are lost. Young Timmy Windham
was called home by the Lord doing as he had done his whole life, trying to help his
family. We can all fall to our knees and pray to God to have mercy on Timmy's soul, but
the truth is we can only hope that Timmy did that for himself. We must all fall to our
knees that the Lord may someday allow us the priveledge of walking in his kingdom, for he
may call us for judgement day the same sad and swift way he called
Timmy Windham.
LOVE: I told you before Timmy's the best kinda' Windham now. It is a shame that a young
man's life was taken just so the CSWA and that Damn Hornet wouldn't hafta' admit that I
put him outta wrestling, but the fact remains the only good Windham is a dead Windham.
"The HARD One" Randy Harders (with
Mrs. Beyer) |
BB: Randy Harders entered the CSWA a few weeks ago and hit the ground running, as he IMMEDIATELY challenged essentially every member of ES! Eventually, The Rap Man accepted. Both of these men have had some heated words toward each other, and they've got a chance to take out some of that aggression. Rap Man started things off with a side headlock into a headlock takeover. Rap Man seemed more intent on keeping this 'rookie' down on the mat, not letting him show off. But Harders wasn't interested in playing this game as he muscled his way back to a vertical base and essentially THREW the smaller Rap Man into the turnbuckle!
SB: Seems as though his 17 black belts won't help him here! You know why I like Harders?
BB: He's not afraid to speak his mind?
SB: WRONG! Mrs. Beyer in his corner is wearing a VERY tight dress!
TM: Remind me again why he's still working here?
BB: Harders picks up Rap Man... is it? Yes! He's got The Rap Man up in the Whirlwind, a spinning Torture Rack! He's angry, Sammy!
SB: What told you? The fact that he's foaming at the mouth?
BB: Rap Man isn't giving in... but he's got nowhere to go! Wait.... is that Enforcer?
SB: Here we go.... ES is gonna take this one yet!
BB: Fans, The Enforcer is coming down the aisle holding a steel chair! Harders hasn't seen him yet but... HE TURNED AROUND! Mrs. Beyer called out a warning and Harders turns to face Enforcer, now in the ring! It looks like they're having a HEATED discussion!
TM: They're cussing each other out, Bill, using words we can't say on television. I hate to say it, but Harders brought this on himself with all he said about ES.
BB: Fans, keep in mind, while this is going on, Harders STILL has Rap Man over his back! Referee Patrick Young is trying to keep these men separated.. and all the while Hot Scott has snuck into the back of the ring!
SB: Nope! Here comes the HOOTERS!
TM: Someday, Sammy... someday....
BB: Well, as Sammy so *ahem* eloquently put it, Mrs. Beyer has grabbed hold of Hot Scott's leg and is NOT letting him into the ring! Speaking of which, Harders has taken Rap Man out of his hold and THROWS him at Enforcer! Enforcer takes a backstep with catching him.... AND HARDERS CLOTHESLINES BOTH OF THEM OVER THE TOP ROPE! Young isn't calling for the DQ!
TM: Why would he, Buckley? Enforcer stepped into the ring and there was no DQ. Hot Scott tried to interfere and there was no DQ. Why would Harders be DQ'd for emptying the ring?
SB: Because with no interference there's no reason for Mrs. Beyer to interfere.
BB: Rap Man back on the apron... getting some instructions from Enforcer.. WAIT! Harders grabbed him by the hair while his back was turned! He's dragging Rap Man back into the ring by the NECK! INVERSE DDT! The cover 1.......2.......3! NO!! Rap Man JUST got the shoulder up! Harders with an elbowdrop.... 1......2......NO!
SB: That DDT didn't finish it, why would he think an elbow would?
TM: Football injury?
SB: Sorry, try again. No, better yet, don't try. Just sit there and look pretty.
BB: Why me? Harders sends Rap Man into the ropes.... comes off with a punch, NO! Rap Man ducks and comes off the other side.... FLYING BODYPRESS! NO! Harders catches him in midair! He's military pressing Rap Man into... YES! He's got him in the Whirlwind again! Rap Man trying to hold on.... THERE IT IS! Rap Man taps out and Harders is victorious in his debut match!
TM: Hot Scott and Enforcer don't believe it! They hit the ring and go after Harders, but he's out of there and is hitting the locker rooms with Mrs. Beyer. Um.... he just told 'em who "number one" is, if you catch my drift.
SB: Why do you even try to think?
(Teri lunges at Benson again, only to be distracted by a beer bottle hitting the announcing table from behind)
SB: ALCOHOL!!!!!! Teacher! Mother! Secret lover....
(Sammy realizes he's on TV still)
Oh, um... it's empty.
BB: Can you forget about alcohol for ONE MINUTE? Folks, as usual, I apologize for Sammy's behavior. Let's send it down to Rudy Seitzer in the aisleway, who has an interview scheduled.
<<"Lies" by The Thompson Twins kicks in over the speakers...out walks a
man with long, blond hair, clean shaven, wearing a T-shirt, jeans, and a jacket with
"Wrestling's Good Citizen" written on the back.>>
RS: Ladies and gentlement, at this time, we have a wrestler who has recently signed
a CSWA contract. It is my pleasure to introduce: MARCUS JOHNSON!
<<The man stands in front of a Remembering Timmy banner...he has a handkerchief in
one hand and a mic in the other. He acts like he is wiping away tears, then he begins to
speak.>>
Johnson: This is such a beautiful moment...remembering one of CSWA's fallen stars. It
brings a tear to my eye when I hear about what happened...I wasn't there when it
happened...but I have to pay my respects...I am so sorry...really, I'm touched by it all.
<<The crowd is buzzing a little...some fans sensing he isn't being sincere.>>
RS: Marcus, that's a touching sentiment...for someone who didn't know Timmy to still
have been...
Man: But you know...at the same time...(tosses the handkerchief aside) I'm disgusted by
the way these wrestlers pay their respects...no last rites from Timmy's co workers in
CSWA...how can you be so heartless? All they want to do is pick up their paycheck at the
end of the night...that's all they are here for!
<<Crowd is buzzing some more...the man continues to speak.>>
Man: Heck, look at the guy in charge of this place...he has the nerve to use what happened
to one of his employees, as a way to sucker all you fans to his show. How dare he do such
a thing...how dare he use the death of a man dear to the CSWA, just so he can boost his
ticket sales!
<<Crowd begins to boo.>>
RS: Marcus! That's not true.....Mr. Merritt has never....
Man: And look at this person's family...he's got one guy who hasn't been seen in the CSWA
for weeks...I'm sure you'll find that family member still stretched out on a beat up sofa,
his nose stuck in a Penthouse magazine, and drinking straight from the keg tap itself!
Then...there's another one who is still around this place...walking around like some
lunatic...talking about an Awakening! What his Awakening should be is how he's wasting his
time talking about it! Heck, if he wants an awakening, someone ought to tell him he was
probably adopted!
<<The crowd boos have grown louder.>>
Man: And then...there is the very man you are honoring tonight...what did he ever do to
deserve this in the first place? Why, I heard he spent more time causing trouble for his
family than he did helping them out...and he's the reason why that family is broken down
so much! You know...I'm amazed people are here to honor him!
<<At this point, the man turns to the banner and begins tearing it down as the boos
increase.>>
Man: But...I am here today, to bring you somebody who is perfect in every way...(as he
talks, he tosses the banner aside) and he is the man who is talking to you right
now...somebody who will be here to lead by
example...CSWA...from here on...
<<Another banner unrolls and drops down...it reads "Here is YOUR Role
Model!">>
Man: *I* will bring the CSWA to new heights...and show you all what walking the straight
and narrow path can do for you...unlike that psycho...or the party animal...or that now
deceased family wrecker...for I am...YOUR Role Model...Marcus Johnson! And the CSWA will
benefit by my example...as the fans will have someone they can look up to...and someone
who the parents feel safe letting their kids watch...as I show them how they can achieve
their hopes and dreams...just like ME!
<<He then holds up his arms and says to the crowd "Everything I do...I do it
for YOU!" as the crowd boos him instead. He then leaves the set. Rudy Seitzer
shakes his head and follows him out.>>
TM: Well, looks like we've got ourselves another real winner in that one.
BB: I'm not even gonna dignify his idiocies with a comment. Right now, folks, we've got a double debut match coming up next, as the Cowboy, Lone Wulf, takes on the deranged Ruiner. But first, before the show, Lone Wulf had a few comments about Timmy Windham of his own.
(Lone Wulf is seen in the living room part of his temporary Apartment in
Philadelphia. he is eating Fried Chicken straight out of the box and notices the camera.
he finishes chewing throws the chicken leg back into the box and sits on the love seat.)
Lone Wulf: Timmy Windham, huh? I wasn't here to see him die, or spend time with him. but
I've heard good things about him, he was a good man with some not so good brothers. if I
had known him I would have loved him, and I'm proud to be fighting to remember him. God
bless his soul.
(Lone Wulf looks up at the sky then turns his attention to eating the chicken again and
shuts the door. FTB)
Lone Wulf vs. Ruiner |
TM: These two had a little bit of an adventure prior to this match, involving everything from a bar to an alleyway fight to a run-in with the cops. This one is going to be a knock-down drag out FIGHT.
SB: No beer in the bottle.... damn....
BB: Collar-and-elbow tie up, and Ruiner pushes Lone Wulf into the ropes. Referee Pee Wee Troutman calls for the break.... Clean break by Ruiner.
SB: Mistake number one.
BB: They lock up again... and again, Ruiner gets the upper hand, backing Lone Wulf into the corner. Troutman over to break it up but a right hand by Lone Wulf! Ruiner fires back, and we've got a slugfest in the middle of the ring! Lone Wulf, the slightly more powerful of the two, seems to be winning this one.
SB: *yawn*
BB: Sammy! Lone Wulf now with a standing armbar into a wristlock. Say what you will, but he's got the basics down.
TM: And if you can't get the basics down, you can't win a match. Lone Wulf needs to keep this up... Take one body part and tear into it.
SB: Is your brain made of silicon too? He's got to use a chair and grab the tights. THAT is how you win a match.
TM: A silicon brain would be an improvement for you, wouldn't it?
BB: Back to the match while my co-hosts are discussing the pros and cons of costmetic surgery.... Lone Wulf seems to have foregone the wristlock in favor of a headlock. Ruiner trying to power out... NO! Sammy I'm not sure Lone Wulf didn't have a handful of hair in that one.
SB: Of course he did! That's what it takes to win a match, not some wussy armbar!
BB: Ruiner tries it again..... he's got the arm up... Handfull of hair by Lone Wulf, BUT RUINER WAS READY AND HE COMES BACK WITH A YANK OF HAIR ON HIS OWN! Lone Wulf off the ropes, ducks under the punch.... back off the other side... POWERSLAM by Ruiner! Lone Wulf up... DROPKICK sends him right back down! Ruiner picks him up... POWERBOMB! We could see it end right here!
SB: Tell me agan, Melons, what was it that Lone Wulf was doing right?
TM: Shove it, Sammy....
SB: Don't you wish...
BB: Please! We've still got a match going on, or have you forgotten? Ruiner seems bored with this... he wants to finish this one off quickly... there it is... INCESTICIDE. The cover 1.....2.....3! Ruiner with an impressive debut, gets the victory over Lone Wulf, who I think was just as impressive!
TM: He was that... What brought him down was an inability to follow through after some of those take-down moves. All in all, I think he'll make an impression here.
BB: Well, that's two down, I think it's safe to say we've had an impressive show so far. Fans, in case you just tuned in, you're watching "Remembering Timmy" on U-62, and we've so far seen "The Hard One" Randy Harders defeat The Rap Man, and Ruiner defeat Lone Wulf. Teri, what do we have coming up next?
TM: Bill, coming up next is you and Sammy sharing some of those bonding moments. I've got to get backstage and make sure Arrogance and Ray are ready to go.
(Teri gets up and leaves the broadcast table to a flurry of cheers from the male fans.)
SB: If you're coming back, bring some beer!
BB:Sammy! Fans, we've got a real treat for you tonight. You're going to see the valets of Kevin Powers in a tag team match against Poison Ivy and a partner of her choosing. Who could it be?
SB:You're an idiot.
BB:Pardon me?
SB:Why did you ask Melons to tell you the next match if you knew already? Her job is to sit here and show us some cleavage. Don't make her think, it gives me a headache.
BB:...Right. Folks, this was an interesting match from the start. We know why Poison Ivy wanted to be in it, considering the two men that these three ladies manager. But, if Susan and Gina didn't want to be in it, why are they? They didn't sign a contract. Let's go back to Merritt's office and hear him explain it.
(Fade in on Merritt's office. He appears to be doing some form of work, probably reading Susan and Gina's complaint...)
CM:Let's see if I can't make this as clear as I did for Mr. Love. You're right, Susan, Gina, you're valets. Under normal circumstances, I might even respect that and keep you out of the ring.
But that all changed when the two of you decided to get involved physically. That protection ended when you attacked Sunshine.
Let's get something straight, girls. You aren't just valets, you're EMPLOYEES. The match is signed...I can't force you to participate. But I can guarantee you that if you choose not to... there will be consequences.
Womens' Tag Team Match Gina and Susan vs. |
(FTB - cut to Buckley and Benson at ringside)
BB:And with something short of a gesture, we've got a tag match.
(Cue up:"Can't You(Trip Like I Do)" - Filter. Susan and Gina come out to the ring wearing spandex that would make a monk (or maybe a Deacon) whistle. They're also wearing athletic sneakers that couldn't have been bought more then a day or two ago. Powers is with them, wearing his wrestling attire with a "HURRICANE SEASON" T-Shirt on.)
(Cue up:"Vow" - Garbage. Poison Ivy comes to the ring, alone. She is wearing an athletic bra, spandex shorts, and a loose miniskirt. For footwear, she has stuck with her combat boots. The Singapore Cane is not there but she has on her sunglasses. She takes the ring mike....)
IVY:Yeah... Powers, just keep your god damn distance. Now, the moment we've ALL been waiting for. From the moment this match was announced, everyone was wondering, and in YOUR case (Points to the "Powers" contingency) WORRYING about who I had in mind.
Well, wonder no longer. This girl, from the moment I put the challenge out, BEGGED me to let her be my partner. I was, however, concerned by her lack of ANY sort of fighting skill. But, I agreed, and I let her train with me, and let me tell you, she's come a LONG way. So, without further adieu, I present my partner.... SUNSHINE DEL PAYNE.
(Cue up:"Medication" - Garbage. Sunshine comes out to a HUGE round of applause, and one can definitely see her blushing. But is it from the applause, or the fact that she's wearing a skintight tank top and matching shorts? Also odd is the large bandage on her left forearm. In the ring, Susan, Gina, and Kevin Powers are laughing hysterically. Powers takes the mike from Rhubarb.)
KP:THIS is your partner? The girl who's more apt to hurt herself then anyone else? Please... Listen, Ivy honey, at the very least I've got to give you props for not taking any s*** from people, but how do you expect to win this match?
(Sunshine looks down... obviously hurt by Powers' statements. Susan walks up to her, laughing. She says several mocking statements, then goes to slap Sunshine in the face.... but Sunshine grabs her arm and twists it behind her back! Ben Worthington calls for the bell and this match is on!)
BB:Sammy, can you believe what we just saw? Sunshine has Susan in a perfectly executed armlock!
SB:Sunshine? Shouldn't she be called Cloudy? I know... Overcast! But she's got a nice set of...
BB:Sammy!
SB:What? I can't admire a beautiful girl?
BB:She's only twenty, Sammy... they won't sell her alcohol either.
SB:DAMNITT!
BB:Sunshine is really working over that arm, but Susan grabbed a handful of hair and is DRAGGING her to her corner! There's the tag to Gina and she's slapping the taste out of Sunshine's mouth, AGAIN, as Susan holds her arms from behind! Ivy comes in but Worthington cuts her off.
SB:Stupid feminazi....
BB:Gina pushes Sunshine into the corner, and continues to slap her! But Sunshine gives her a hard shove... and GINA FLIES HALFWAY ACROSS THE RING! She goes to tag out, but Susan wants NO part of this girl! Meanwhile, Sunshine has tagged out to Ivy, and she goes RIGHT to work on Gina! Now Susan gets in there to try and break it up, but Worthington catches her as well! Ivy with a choke!
SB:Where's Worthington for that choke? Get in there and do your job!
BB:Worthington turns around and begins to count. 1...2....3.....4.... Ivy lets go. She picks Gina up... Powerbomb! The cover, 1.....2......No! Gina gets the shoulder up. Ivy doesn't care, however, as she whips Gina into the ropes.... DROPKICK! Am I wrong, or does it look like Ivy is favoring that left knee?
SB:I saw that! I noticed that as well. I heard that she left wrestling with a similar injury as Flair.... but I don't think she had the corrective surgery. Maybe she didn't expect to get back in the ring? That's an oversight that could severely cost her right now.
BB:Sammy.... that was insightful... Insightful, accurate, and brilliant.
SB:Huh, what? Why are you sitting so close to me, sparky? Move!
BB:Never mind. Ivy has Gina pulled into a camel clutch, but Gina is able to hook the ropes with her feet. Worthington calls for the break.... Ivy isn't letting go! WAIT! There's Susan, flying across the ring... CLOTHESLINE! Susan and Ivy hit the floor! Wait... what's Worthington doing?
SB:He wants everyone in the match to get rid of those constrictive tops.... Obstructs the view, ya know...
BB:Cute, Sammy... He's saying that Ivy made the tag... that Sunshine is legal now! Sunshine comes into the ring, but she doesn't look like she knows exactly what to do! Gina is in the ring... DOWN. Susan and Ivy are both outside the ring... DOWN! Worthington is trying to rouse them... wait a second...
SB:Here he comes, chock FULL of US Steel and Sex Appeal! Powers is in the ring! He's having a staredown with Sunshine.... I hope she doesn't try to off herself again, right here.
BB:Powers has nearly a TWO FOOT height advantage over Sunshine, and she looks VERY upset. Powers doesn't seem interested in attacking her, but he's giving Gina a chance to recuperate! Worthington is still trying to rouse Ivy and Susan, when he SHOULD be paying attention to this match!
SB:Doesn't matter, Gina is getting up... Time to get some 'sugar!' Hah!
BB:Gina shoves Sunshine from behind, and Powers has her by the hair! What's he gonna... wait a second.... Eddy Love is running out from the locker room and he's got a steel chair!
SB:Yes! My boy Eddy is gonna take care of Grumpy Bear right here!
BB:No, no mask... WAIT! Mark Vizzack has followed Love! Eddy is in the ring, but he's distracted by Vizzack running down! He swings.. SUNSHINE DUCKED! SUNSHINE DUCKED! Powers is out on his feet... DROPKICK by Vizzack! Love has returned to the locker room. Vizzack leaves the ring as Worthington returns, prompted by the sound of the chair. On the ground, Ivy is coming to, but Susan is still out!
SB:That's not fair! What's Vizzack doing in there?
BB:So it was fine when Powers was in there? Vizzack leaves the ring as Gina charges at Sunshine... side step as Gina hits the ropes... SUPERKICK! Gina goes down like a sack of potatoes! The cover, 1....2.....3! Sunshine has just pinned Gina! Vizzack returns to the ring and hugs Sunshine, high-five for Ivy. Ivy returns to lay into Gina, but Sunshine stops her.
SB:MISTAKE! MISTAKE!
BB:Sunshine has a microphone.... let's hear what she has to say.
(As Sunshine begins to speak, Susan begins to stir... as does Gina.)
SUNSHINE:Miss Ivy, I appreciate what you did for me... Maybe more then anyone, you gave me a semblance of self-respect, as you taught me to take care of myself.... But Susan and Gina are beaten. Please let them go, at least for now.
IVY(Takes the microphone):Sunshine... Vizz..... In any other circumstance, I'd do my best to make sure they were NEVER a problem for me or you again. But this was for you, so I guess I'll let you have your moment of glory.... You're a good girl, ya hear me? Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
(Ivy gives a small hug to both of them, and heads for the backstage area. Susan and Gina both get back in the ring, both looking slightly worse for the wear, and VERY wary of Sunshine...)
SUNSHINE:I beat you today.... I could've done more, I think, but I'm not. I don't really want to hurt anyone. But I want you to think about something... The next time you want to grab me and start slapping me, the next time you want to make fun of me.... Gina, think about that pain in your jaw and think again. Thank you, ladies, and have a good night.
(Sunshine pulls an icepack out of her bag and hands it to Gina, then she and Vizzack leave the ringside area...)
BB:Well! I think it's safe to say that there has never been a classier lady in the CSWA then Sunshine Del Payne. You still think the line should be drawn at her?
SB:I don't understand why she actually HELPED OUT Susan and Gina.... Doesn't she know that they don't like her? But she's only a girl, I could take her.
BB:Poison Ivy.
SB:Never mind. Why isn't anyone else helping the US Champion to the backstage? Where did Security go?
(another tribute to Timmy begins to play)
(The members of ES are standing near a headstone. All six are looking down, but we
can't see the headstone itself, as they surround it. Then, as the camera gets closer, we
can hear what is being said amongst them.)
HOT SCOTT: ...was a fellow wrestler, men. We didn't know him well. Enforcer, you would
have faced him in the Greensboro Tournament were it not for this tragedy.
ENFORCER: Yes. Now, I get one point, and this man gets zero...not only in the tournament,
but in life as well.
ELIMINATOR: Such a sad twist of fate that took the life of a young wrestler far too early.
Who knows? Someday, perhaps in another lifetime, we might even have eventually called the
man friend.
HOT SCOTT: He went back into that inferno to search for Mark Windham, his brother...and, I
can't believe it, but Mark didn't care. Even I care about Timmy...and I didn't know the
man, save the brief instance he was next to me in your matchup with Mark Windham,
Eliminator...just hours before his
death.
ELIMINATOR: Yes...indirectly, I won that matchup because of him. But that's still no
reason for Mark to be apathetic about his brother...especially his brother's death. Had I
had the chance, I would have attempted to save that young man myself. I'm sure he would
have likely done the same for me.
RAP MAN: Perhaps the young Timmy Windham is at rest now.
RAP MASTER: Perhaps. When I saw him come running down that aisle during your matchup,
Eliminator...I didn't know who he was. But when I saw that picture in the newspaper...I
couldn't believe that I was actually standing next to the man just hours before his death,
along with Hot Scott.
RAP MAN: How could Mark not care? I mean, the members of ES aren't even brothers, just
close friends...and I would have gone back into that inferno for any of you.
HOT SCOTT: That's true, but Mark Windham is evidently different. Timmy went back in to
make sure Mark was all right...and ultimatly paid the price because of it. Because of
Mark...Timmy is dead. If Mark had only told Timmy that he was outside...I'm sure we
wouldn't be standing here right now. But I remember Timmy most as a man who went back into
a burning, flame filled building because he thought that his brother, who hated him, was
going to die and he wanted to save him. He was a hero in the end. Had the situation been
reversed, Timmy would have made sure Mark knew he was out there, and both would still be
alive. But because Mark didn't inform Timmy that he was out, Timmy died. I don't know
about you guys, but I'm always going to remember this young man...Timmy...as a hero. Not
for going back into a burning building...but for the unselfishness he displayed in the
face of the exact opposite from Mark Windham. He died trying to save his brother
Mark...not knowing that Mark was already out. He should be honored for that
attempt...because he died not knowing that Mark was indeed, out and safe. He thought he
was going to save Mark. Personally, I'm here to present this (he places flowers on Timmy's
grave, next to the mounting pile from other CSWA superstars) and this (he takes from a
small bag that he has a large, gold medal, attached to a purple band, and hangs it over
the headstone). This is to represent the Medal of Honor that Timmy would get if he had
died trying to save someone in a similar situation in the marines, air force, army, or
navy. Timmy Windham...you went out a hero, buddy. (The camera zooms in now on the face of
Hot Scott, as a tear streaks down his left cheek. He stands for a moment,and looks down
with awe at Timmy's headstone. Then all stand for another moment in silence. Then they all
turn and walk away from the headstone. As they do, the camera zooms in on the large
medallion that Hot Scott has placed on the headstone. It reads on the golden part:
"In memory of a hero...Timmy Windham. Died honorably while attempting to save his
brother from a fire."
As the cameraman flips it over to see what is on the other side, it shimmers. On the other
side it reads..."Timmy Windham 1975-1998" and below that, a single word:
"Hero". The camera focuses on the medal, and then fades to black.)
Five-and-a-half-Man Tag Team Match ARROGANCE and Ray S. Cornette vs. |
BB:Fans, we've had a TREMENDOUS night of action so far, and we've only just begun! Up next we've got the UNIFIED Tag Team Champions, Disco Express, and the Disco Midget, against Arrogance and Ray S. Cornette. These two tag teams had a TREMENDOUS match at Fish Fund, but constant interference prevented the CORP from taking the hat trick and controlling all three titles in the CSWA. This time, the problem has been solved, as Cornette and the Disco Midget are PARTICIPANTS, but you've also got to figure Teri Melton on the outside will be a distraction for Disco Express.
SB:Doesn't matter... this is the last time I'm gonna have to deal with Melons and her attempts to match wits with me.
BB:Sammy, you're asking a lot of the CSWA.... An extra half million? Free alcohol? Where are you getting this leverage from?
(Before Sammy can answer, CSWA Co-Commisioner Merritt walks to the announcing table, VERY quickly, and takes Teri Melton's seat.)
SB:Chad! How are you?
CM:Listen, Benson... I know you're looking forward to heading out the door, but what gives you the right to address me by my first name?
SB:You really don't want me to say, DO you?
(Merritt looks at Sammy, and begins to sweat)
CM:Sammy, I think we can work together.... Let's head backstage and talk.
(Merritt gets up. Sammy has a triumphant look on his face)
SB:Excuse me, Buckley, it's time to make my millions.
(The two men head backstage)
BB:Well, it looks like I'm going solo for a little while... I think I'm sitting in a ray of light.
(Cue up:Disco Fever. The UNIFIED Tag Team Champions, as well as the Disco Midget, begin to boogie down the aisle. The fans are booing, but the camera catches some dancing along with the wrestlers.)
RJ:This next contest is a MIXED Six-man Tag Team Event! Introducing first, The CSWA UNIFIED Tag Team Champions, Disco Inferno and The Boogie Man, DISCO EXPRESS! With them is their manager, The Disco Midget!
(The disco ball is lowered.... and the three continue to dance in the ring....)
RJ:Their opponents, tagging with their manager, the LEGENDARY Ray S. Cornette, the head of the CORPORATION.... "Arrogance" Joey Melton and Peyton Wright.... This... Is.... ARROGANCE!
(Cue up:Jesus Christ Superstar, as the legendary tag team walks to the ring with their equally legendary manager. Following is Teri Melton, and Randall Jaminson, the CORP "Enforcer." The fans give a pretty good reaction, but still the team ignores them. They hit the ring, their minds completely on business. Once in the ring, however, Teri is hit in the back by a flying fried chicken leg. VP of Security Gregg Gethard is on the spot almost immediately.)
GG:Sir, we have to ask you to leave the arena.
MAN:So what're ya gonna do? Hang me up by my underwear?
GG(Nervously):No.... no. But if you cause any more trouble you'll have to be removed from the arena.
(Gethard leaves.)
BB:And Teri is ANGRY.... IF looks could kill, folks... myself and everyone between Teri and that man would be with Timmy right now. Referee Patrick Young seems to calm her down, and she returns to the corner of ARROGANCE. It looks as though we're ready to start this match. It'll be Joey Melton starting off against Boogie Man. They lock up... and Melton is backed into the ropes. Young calls for the break.... Boogie Man backs off, and a slap to the face of Joey Melton! He's cool though..... Melton doesn't fire back. Cornette calls Melton over, and a small conference. Remember, folks, not only is Ray S. in this match, he may be one of the most cunning managers in wrestling HISTORY. You can bet he's giving Melton things to think about. Young wants them to break it up, and Melton begins to circle Boogie Man. They lock up again, and Melton is again pushed into the corner... WAIT! Randall Jaminson just punched Boogie Man in the knee! Boogie Man goes down hard!
(Camera cuts to ringside, as Jaminson is seen passing off a pair of brass knux to Teri, who puts them in her purse.)
BB:HE HAD BRASS KNUCKLES ON! If Young had seen it,that woudl be cause for a DQ! Melton now working over Boogie Man's legs! He's stomping away! What is the Disco Midget doing? He's in the ring and he's trying to bite Melton's leg! Patrick Young trying to pry him off.... but JAMINSON BEAT HIM TO IT! Randall Jaminson has PRIED the Disco Midget off Melton's leg... Disco Inferno is down there rescuing his manager.... He gets the midget away, and we've finally got some semblance of order back to the match! But what kind of match can we even have? The Midget is out on his feet and Boogie Man is having real trouble walking. And now, of all times, Melton tags out to Cornette. That means the Midget MUST come in. I have to question Cornette's strategy, however, as he is rumored to be having VERY bad back problems. Disco is running in circles around Cornette, trying to confuse him... but Cornette kicks him in the head! He picks up the Midget, and THROWS HIM THROUGH THE ROPES! Cornette makes the tag to Melton.... WAIT! Jaminson and Teri Melton are putting the boots to him as Arrogance and Cornette look on! Young attempts to break it up, and... HERE COMES DISCO INFERNO!!! Off the ropes.... DROPKICK to Cornette's back! He's in pain, folks... Jaminson and Melton both check him out while Melton and Wright hit the ring.. WE'VE GOT A FREE-FOR-ALL! Wright is trading punches with Disco, and Melton is working over that injured leg of Boogie Man! Disco tosses Wright through the ropes... HE'S GOT THE DISCO BALL! Melton has Boogie Man wrapped up in the Figure Four.... Boogie Man is in a LOT OF PAIN, but Disco Inferno is stalking Melton with that Disco Ball!
(Randall Jaminson sees what's about to happen and grabs the Disco Midget by the collar...)
BB:WHAT IS JAMINSON DOING???? OH MY GOD! HE'S THROWN THE DISCO MIDGET AT DISCO INFERNO! THEY BOTH GO TO THE OUTSIDE! Melton pulls Boogie Man closer to the middle of the ring, STILL LOCKED in the Figure Four! Boogie Man's shoulders are down... 1.....2...... No! The Midget seems to be regaining consciousness.... he's crawling toward Melton! 1............2..........3! NO! No, Young says he JUST got the shoulder up! Disco is up.... He's got his bottle of JD! NO! Peyton Wright grabbed his ankle and PULLED HIM OUT of the ring! Patrick Young tells Wright to let him go.... RAY S. CORNETTE SMASHES HIS CELL PHONE OVER BOOGIE MAN'S HEAD! HE'S OUT COLD! And of course, Wright lets the midget go. Young turns around, 1........2.........3! Arrogance and Ray S. Cornette wins this one, it was truly a TEAM effort, though a rather underhanded one. But, after his loss in the World Tournament to Troy Windham, the inconclusive match at Fish Fund, and loss to Eddy Love in Seattle, Joey Melton looks as though he's regained the form that made him a legend! The fans are cheering this old favorite, but I can definitely pick out a significant "boo" from this crowd.
(Buckley turns around to scan the crowd, and while doing so, Stan Parsons walks to the announcing table...)
SP:Bill... pay attention. We've got four matches to go. And I think we can all agree you can't carry a show on your own, so Thomas asked me to come out and give you a hand.
BB:(Laughs) Thank you for keeping my stock up.... Speaking of which, how are things going between Merritt and Benson back stage?
SP:Remember the offer Merritt put on the table? Ten thousand and a gift certificate for the steakhouse? Benson's accepted.... In return for a contract extension of two events while they renegotiate. Can you believe that? To top it off, Benson's at the concessions right now getting drunk.
BB:It figures..... So tell me, Stan, what's up next?
The Eliminator vs. The Preacher |
SP:I'm glad you asked that, Bill. We've got two men who have been nothing but impressive, as The Eliminator goes up against The Preacher. This should be a great match between two men who should find themselves in a title situation VERY soon.
(They look at each other and begin to laugh)
BB:You know, it's nice to be out here and NOT be in the middle of two people who want to kill each other. Fans, The Preacher has hit the ring, all we're waiting for is ES to come down the aisle.
(ES' music kicks in as Hot Scott leads the way for The Eliminator. This 300-plus pound man looks ready for business, as his eyes never leave The Preacher. The fans are giving a mixed reaction, calls of "Whiner" from some...)
BB:We're ready now, as preacher and Eliminator lock up... Preacher backed into the corner. Ben Worthington calls for a break, and they make it a clean one.
SP:You can bet, if that was a member of PLR in there, or of Flair's informal group, they'd be POUNDING on each other from before the bell!
BB:You got that right.... They circle each other, and lock up again. Eliminator easily backs Preacher into the ropes. Stan, Eliminator has a decided strength advantage, and he's taking full advantage of it!
SP:Yet ANOTHER clean break! This may be part of The Preacher's strategy.... he doesn't want to match power with The Eliminator. And they still circle!
BB:One more time, they lock up... and one more time Eliminator pushes Preacher into the corner! He goes to break... PREACHER DUCKS DOWN AND CLIPS ELIMINATOR'S KNEES! The cover, 1.......2......NO! Preacher may not be as strong, but he's definitely fast enough! He picks up Eliminator.... Irish Whip.... CLOTHESLINE! Eliminator over the top rope! That's a DQ!
SP:No, Worthington is ruling that Eliminator's momentum carried him over, so this match continues! Eliminator takes a breather on the outside, giving him the chance to get some instruction from Hot Scott...
BB:Eliminator rolls in, then back out, breaking the count. Preacher is waiting patiently on the other side of the ring, and at last, Eliminator gets back in. They lock up again.... Eliminator stomped on Preacher's foot! And a clothesline sends Preacher to the mat! He gets up.. SHOULDERBLOCK SENDS HIM RIGHT BACK DOWN! Preacher gets up... Scoop and a SLAM by Eliminator! The cover, 1......2......NO! Preacher got his shoulder up at the LAST second! Wait a second, what's this?
SP:The fans are all turning to look at SOMETHING.... hey... That's Eli Flair! Eli Flair has hit the ringside area with that Singapore Cane!
BB:Flair is indeed making his way to the ringside area.... Worthington asking for some answers, but Flair seems intent on just watching the match!
SP:He's only watching because he knows his mere presence will distract Eliminator! THAT is a psych-out, when you only have to BE there!
BB:Eliminator calling to Preacher for a test of strength... and he's got Preacher on his knees! THAT was quick. And Flair is STILL laughing at Eliminator! Now he's shouting some sort of advice...
SP:No, he's not exactly shouting ADVICE.... let's just say it's a good thing he's not wearing a microphone.
(The fans begin to boo, but there are some definite cheers in there.....)
BB:THAT'S KEVIN POWERS! Kevin Powers has come to ringside as well, and we've got a staredown between him and Flair! Oh my! Will they go at it? What are they waiting for?
SP:I hate to interrupt, Bill... but we still have a match going on. Preacher has fought his way back to a vertical base... he hooks Eliminator's arms... SUPLEX! Preacher comes off the ropes.... SHOULDERBLOCK! The big man is rocked but does not go down!
BB:Preacher off the ropes again.... JUMPING CLOTHESLINE AND ELIMINATOR GOES DOWN! The cover, 1.....2......NO! Eliminator not out of it yet! Outside, Powers and Flair are exchanging HEATED words! Eliminator pulled to his feet. DROPKICK by Preacher! Preacher pulls him up again, DROPKICK! NO! NO!!! Eliminator takes a backstep, and Preacher hits the mat hard! Eliminator wastes no time, ELIMINATION LEGLOCK! Middle of the ring! Eliminator has this match won!
SP:Not necessarily... look at Flair and Powers!
BB:Hey, wait a second.... Flair and Powers are actually TALKING now.... Flair points at Eliminator.... OH MY GOD! Flair and Powers have hit the ring, and they're ALL OVER ELIMINATOR! Hot Scott hits the ring, FLAIR HITS HIM WITH THE CANE! HOT SCOTT IS OUT COLD! Referee Ben Worthington calls for the bell, this one is gonna go to Eliminator by DQ! Powers picks up Eliminator, sets him up, FLAIR CANES ELIMINATOR BETWEEN THE EYES! Powers is calling for a microphone!
POWERS:Eliminator.... Did you really think you could handle the might of "Good GOD" or the fury of "Total Elimination?" Take a long hard look at yourself, boy.... You've got a LONG way to go!
BB:Powers picks Eliminator up... KISS THE CANVAS! And now Flair has Eliminator locked in the Total Elimination! HERE COMES THE REST OF ES! ES IS HERE! Enforcer hits the ring, only to get knocked back down by Powers! What did Flair just say to him?
SP:I think he said, "Use the Cane."
BB:He must've, because Powers is swinging that Singapore Cane at EVERYONE! He's really cleaning house with that thing! Flair finally lets up on Eliminator, and he takes the microphone again!
FLAIR:Powers, I kepts my word... I said that if we were ever in a position to take out a hunk of ES' ass, I'd be able to refrain from kicking your ass as well.... So, in the interests of fairness, you've got five minutes to get your ass back to your locker room, because the second I hit that curtain, all bets are off.
POWERS(Takes mike):Eli, Eli, Eli..... It was actually fun teaming up with you to take out the Whiner here.... but don't get me wrong.... In a VERY short period of time you are gonna learn a thing or two about EXTREME.... and you ain't gonna like it.
(Powers drops the microphone and walks to the backstage. Eli hangs out in the ring and works the crowd for a few minutes before doing the same...)
BB:Wow.... Who knows what's going on there. Flair and Powers actually working TOGETHER?
SP:Remember what they had talked about in the hype leading to this card... Flair and Powers were two of the men that Steve Radder attempted to recruit for an alliance against ES. A tenuous alliance, but one nonetheless.
Apocalypse and Pat Black vs. Destruction Crew |
BB:Who knows how this could affect the US Title match, which is coming up in a matter of minutes! First, however, we're going to see the newly-formed team of Apocalypse and Pat Black take on The Destruction Crew.... a team that came into the CSWA withg a lot of promise, but not a lot of success.
SP:With absolutely NO success, Bill... Don't mince words.
BB:Well, you do have a point now. Destruction Crew is in the ring, and here comes Apocalypse and Pat Black!
(The lights go out. A lone spotlight shines on the curtain as Lady Death leads her team of Pat Black and Apocalypse to the ring. They do not seem to notice the fans around them... in fact, it's as if the only people in the building are the two of them and Destruction Crew. Everything else is nonessential and therefore meaningless.....)
SP:That was chilling.... and it'll be Apocalypse starting off against Chainsaw. They go to lock up, but Apocalypse turns away at the last minute. Mind games, Bill.... nothing but mind games.
BB:Indeed it is. They go to lock up again... and this time Apocalypse stays. Strange... Apocalypse has a definite strength advantage, but he's being backed up into the corner! What's he doing?
SP:I have no idea, the two of them are the biggest mystery in the CSWA right now.
BB:They lock up again, and again Apocalypse is backed into the corner.... Troutman calls for the break.... Wait! APOCALYPSE PICKED CHAINSAW UP BY THE THROAT! Chainsaw is TOSSED backwards like a rag doll! Chainsaw goes to tag out but Sledgehammer wants NO PART of Apocalypse!
(The lights begin to flicker.....)
BB:What? What's happening?
(In the ring, Apocalypse looks slightly distracted..... the lights return to normal.)
SP:That was strange.
BB:Apocalypse looks like he's recovered... and it looks like in the confusion Chainsaw tagged out. Apocalypse now faces Sledgehammer. They lock up... knee to the gut by Sledgehammer. He whips Apocalypse into the ropes.... clothesline... DUCKED by Apocalypse, off the other side.... Punch to the jaw by Sledgehammer! APOCALYPSE JUST STARES AT HIM! Sledge looks worried.... Apocalypse grabs him by the throat... CHOKESLAM! He grabs Sledge by the hair and tags out to Black... Black comes in and immediately kicks the knees out from under Sledgehammer. And now he drops an elbow!
SP:There goes Lady Death! She's getting in Chainsaw's face!
BB:And taking all of Pee Wee Troutman's attention as well! Black holds Sledgehammer up.... Apocalypse catches him in the face with a steel chair! Sledgehammer is OUT COLD!
(The lights flicker again.... and a voice is heard....)
VOICE: (loudly) IN THE TWINKLING OF AN EYE....
(As the sound of monks chanting comes from around the arena, a spotlight shines on the curtain once more, as The Shepherd comes out, leading a dark hooded form whose size immediately gives away his identity....)
BB: IT'S THE DEACON!!!! THE DEACON IS IN THE BUILDING!!!!!! Lady Death is SCREAMING at Black to finish the match and get out of there!
SP: Black covers.... Chainsaw comes in but gets caught by Apocalypse..... The Seventh Seal on Chainsaw! The count, 1........2........3! Apocalypse and Black win a relatively easy match, but what does that matter, when The Deacon is rapidly approaching?
BB: Destruction Crew is getting out of there.... Black and Apocalypse are just waiting... Stan, I'm a little confused... Deacon has kept his face completely covered.... has he been scarred? Why all this secrecy? This crowd is going WILD!!!!
SP: I'm not sure, Bill, but it seems Apocalypse is tired of it. He's on his way out of the ring to confront Deacon face to face.
BB: Shepherd pulls the hood off of.... OH MY! There's nobody there! There's nobody inside the cloak, which falls to the floor! Apocalypse looks confused... and he grabs Shepherd by the neck! Apocalypse lets go of Shepherd and turns around, but it's too late! DEACON IS IN THE RING!!!
SP: And he's got a steel chair!
BB: He must have come out from under the ring! Deacon drops the chair and dares Black to pick it up! Black quickly does so....but Deacon kicks the chair into his face! He sets him up! ALTAR CALL!!!!!
BB: Apocalypse is back in the ring, but Deacon drops and rolls out, that chair still in hand! Deacon is on his way back to the Shepherd!
(Deacon takes the steel chair and begins nailing it on a huge wooden cross that the Shepherd has brought out. As he finishes nailing it and turns, the lights flash off and on, and the two are gone...only the cross remains)
(Cut to a commercial for the new "The Sun is Shining" T-Shirt, featuring the CSWA's own Sunshine Del Payne.)
United States Heavyweight Championship "Good God" Kevin Powers vs. "Total Elimination" Eli Flair |
BB:Fans, tonight has been a masterpiece, and we're only just beginning. Right now our ring crew is taking the ring ropes down and surrounds the ring with five layers of barbed wire. Fans, you are truly about to see two men pull out all the stops to hurt each other. Two men who simply have no other way, but, as Flair said over a month ago, "It's no longer man against man, it's man against THING." And the thing, in this case, is fifty feet of barbed wire. The winner of this match, folks will simply be the one who is able to walk out of the ring. On top of that, he will walk out of the ring with the CSWA United States Title.
(Cue Up:"Can't You(Trip Like I Do)" - Filter.)
RJ:Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is for the CSWA United States Championship! And it is a barbed wire match! The rules, ladies and gentlemen.... There is no countout. There is no disqualification. The only way to win this match is by pinfall or submission. INTRODUCING FIRST! From Chicago, Illinois, being led to the ring by his managers, Gina and Susan, weighing in at 318 pounds, the CSWA UNITED STATES Heavyweight Champion, "GOOD GOD" KEVIN POWERS!!!!!!!
(Kevin Powers emerges, slowly, from the ring curtain. Flanked on his left is Susan, and on his right, Gina. Gina still holds the ice pack that Sunshine gave to her, though both have put on more 'revealing' outfits in the last hour or so. Powers has a confident look on his face, and the US Title belt around his waist. The fans are giving a mostly negative reaction to Powers, mostly due to his actions to Sunshine earlier in the card... but he doesn;t care. He seems to get a little nervous when he gets to ringside, but he slides under the bottom 'rope' and awaits his opponent....)
RJ:HIS OPPONENT, and Challenger...... being led to the ring by his manager, Poison Ivy.....
(Cue up:"Vow" - Garbage)
From Bronx, New York, weighing in at 302 pounds..... "TOTAL ELIMINATION" ELI FLAIR!!!!!!!!!
(Poison Ivy emerges from the curtain, holding the Singapore Cane across her shoulder. Her left knee is noticeably bandaged and wrapped, a sign that the CSWA medicals have been working on her since her match. A second later, Eli Flair emerges from the curtain, hands and wrists covered in electrical tape. The fans, by this point, are on their feet for Flair and Ivy. He walks toward the ring... and if he is nervous about the physical stakes of this match, he is certainly not showing it...)
BB:Fans, this one will be for the history books. Never in the history of the CSWA have people put themselves in this situation, with physical stakes this high, simply to hurt each other. Even Hornet and GUNS, what some people call the "Grudge of the Century" never took the physical stakes this far.
SP:Of course not, Bill... but this is different. Eli Flair is one of the most physically inclined wrestlers ever to compete in the CSWA.... He's not afraid to risk himself, he's not afraid to hurt himself... as long as he gets the victory. And in this case, he's after more then just a victory.
BB:There's the bell, and this match is underway! Look at the difference between these two men, Stan, Powers has a two-inch, 15 pound advantage. These two men are going to be AT IT for the entire match! THERE THEY GO! Flair and Powers firing punches back and forth.... back and forth.... Flair goes down! NO! He kicks Powers in the kneecaps! Both men are down, and this match has barely begun!
SP:Flair is back up first... and he's trying to push Powers back into the barbed wire! Poison Ivy is right there but she's not getting in there.... she's letting nature take its course. But Powers is fighting back! He alters his weight and pushes FLAIR into the ropes! And Powers is out of there and back to the middle of the ring!
BB:Good idea, bad time. Flair grabbed the Barbed Wire for balance, but with his hands taped up the way they are, he doesn't feel a thing! He gets a running start.... POWERS TURNS AROUND ONLY TO GET HIT WITH A CLOTHESLINE!
SP:Here we go again.
BB:Powers falls into the turnbuckle... but all he gets is his back scraped across that razor sharp wire! Powers is bleeding already! He runs at Flair... Flair with a drop toe-hold, and he moves into a front headlock! What is Flair doing?
SP:Not much now, as Powers is fighting his way to his feet. Flair still has that headlock on... POWERS PICKS FLAIR UP! That's three hundred pounds of MUSCLE in his arms right now! And he drops backwards!
BB:That caused him a little damage to the back, but Flair has let go of the headlock... particularly since his hair and neck are caught on the barbed wire! Powers picks him up... HE DROPS FLAIR ACROSS THE TOP ROPE!!! OH MY GOD! Flair falls to the ground, holding his stomach! Powers, in the ring, is taking a bit of a breather!
SP:Remember, Flair IS the "King of Hardcore!" He's getting up already! Powers sees him, takes a running start, and goes for a baseball slide! NO! He telegraphed that move, and Flair catches him with a string of Wire running the length of his chest! Bill, these two men have already given it their all tonight!
BB:You said it, Stan.... Flair with a length of wire.... HE'S WHIPPING KEVIN POWERS ACROSS THE BACK! You can already see the scars and scrapes, not to mention the blood, on the back of Kevin Powers! Susan and Gina go to help him, but there's Ivy with that Singapore Cane! ONE look at Ivy's face convinces them otherwise.
SP:Ben Worthington calling for this match to return to the ring... Flair takes the wire in his hands and wraps it around the body of Kevin Powers! He DRAGS Powers back into the ring like that! The cover, 1.....2......NO! Powers didn't become the US Champion by being so easily beaten... Flair wraps the barbed wire around.... Bill, is he doing what I think he's doing?
BB:Flair has that wire wrapped around Kevin Powers' body TWICE... once around his chest, once around his NECK! He's up on Powers' back to get the most leverage, and he's CHOKING Kevin Powers with that barbed wire! Powers has to find a way out of this one, and fast!
SP:There's no ropes to go to... a corner wouldn't help as there's nothing but more Barbed Wire..... What's he doing?
BB:OH MY GOD!!!! Powers just ran Flair BACKWARDS into another side of the ring, THROUGH five strands of Wire! FLAIR'S BACK IS DRIVEN INTO THE GUARDRAIL! HE MAY BE OUT!
SP:That may have been the most desperate act I've ever seen a man take in the ring.... but Powers knows what he's doing! Bill, this hasn't been a wrestling match, it's been a WAR!
BB:Fans, this match has reached the ten-minute mark, and we've seen more desperate moves taken in this match then any all night! This one, Stan, is one for the highlight reels!
SP:Powers begins to stir.... and Flair is still out cold! Fans, two sides of the barbed wire have been STRIPPED from the ring due to these men's actions... and it's not over yet! Powers with a length of wire.... He wrapped it around Flair's torso!
BB:And now he's dragging Flair back to the ring! He wants to end it, Stan! Flair is up... KISS THE CANVAS! That's it! Powers covers, 1.....2.......3! NO! NO! Flair made it out the back door! Powers picks him up again... POWERBOMB! The cover, 1..........2...........NO! Flair refuses to give up! Powers looks like he's setting him up for another Powerbomb.... NO! Backdrop by Flair! But the toll it's taken on his back can be seen, as he is unable to follow through. However, he is the first back to his feet.... INVERSE DDT on Powers!
SP:And there we go.... he's got Powers locked in the Total Elimination! Powers is SCREAMING in pain, but he REFUSES to give up! Susan and Gina are yelling encouragement, and Ivy is yelling submission! Still, Powers refuses to give in!
BB:Regardless of who wins this match, BOTH men have earned the respect of this capacity crowd! Wait a second.... Susan and Gina have split up, they're coming at Poison Ivy from different sides! Ivy is in trouble!
SP:Trouble? Perhaps Ivy heard you, because she LAUNCHES herself at Susan and catches her in the knee with that Singapore Cane! Susan loses her balance and hits the ground! Now it's Ivy facing off with Gina, who has suddenly rethought her strategy.... And in the ring, we've still got a match going on!
BB:That's right, Stan! We're going into the third minute of the Total Elimination, but STILL no submission from Powers! Stan, he may have won this title under 'questionable' circumstances, but he's proving his fortitude NOW!
SP:Apparently three minutes is enough, because we've got some visitors!
(Cut to the curtain. Hot Scott is coming toward the ring, flanked by Eliminator, Rap Man, Enforcer, and Mysterious. They all look very very upset....)
BB:This is going to get REALLY ugly now! Ivy calling to Flair, letting him know what's going on! Flair turns to see The Eliminator, and he lets up on Powers! What's going on?
SP:He's also helped Powers to his feet! Powers gives Eli a shove and is about to attack him when HE notices ES on the outside!
BB:Hot Scott has walked over to Poison Ivy, and he's got some 'unkind' words for her.... Laughter by the whole of ES.... IVY HIT HIM WITH THE SINGAPORE CANE! IVY KNOCKED HOT SCOTT OUT! Enforcer goes for Ivy... but he gets caught by Kevin Powers! Enforcer is pulled into the ring, and the rest of ES follows!
SP:This has gone from a grudge match to a Handicap match! And can you think of a more unlikely team then Kevin Powers and Eli Flair?
BB:No way, Stan! Eli is fighting off Rap Man AND Eliminator, Powers is handling Enforcer and Mysterious! They're holding their own for the most part... but can these two men really hope to fight off FOUR fresh men, especially after the BRUTALITY that this match has gone through?
SP:I don't think so, Bill.... but what are Ivy and Gina doing?
BB:Ivy and Gina appear to be moving a table close to the ring.... IVY LAYS SEVERAL STRIPS OF BARBED WIRE ACROSS IT! She calls to Eli, and he tosses Rap Man onto the table! THE TABLE SHATTERED! THE TABLE SHATTERED! Rap Man is out cold! And now we've got Eliminator and Eli toe to toe in the center of the ring, trading punches! GINA HAS A PIECE OF TABLE!
SP:She does, indeed! Gina has snuck up behind Enforcer, who is attacking Powers, whose arms are pinned by Mysterious! GINA BRINGS THE TABLE DOWN ON HIS HEAD! Enforcer is now out of it!
BB:This, Stan... not Powers and Flair, but THIS... THIS is hatred! This is the ONLY thing that could possibly get Powers and Flair to work together, much less Susan, Gina, and Ivy! But they've managed to cut the odds down to two-on-two!
SP:Might be even less in a minute or so.... Eli drops Eliminator with a DDT, and there he goes with the Total Elimination! Eliminator is SCREAMING in pain!
BB:Powers hooks Mysterious.... DROPS HIM across the top rope! Now it's just Eli Flair, Eliminator, and Kevin Powers in the ring! Eliminator is in REAL trouble now!
SP:You sure?
BB:Why? What's.... What is Powers doing? He's retrieved his US Title belt from the timekeeper, and has returned to the ring!
SP:You forgot something, Bill..... This is a TITLE MATCH.
BB:What do you... POWERS BRINGS THAT BELT DOWN ON ELI FLAIR'S HEAD! Flair is out cold, and Eliminator gets up! He and Powers are staring each other down..... This night, Stan, has been subtitled, "If Look Could Kill......"
SP:Apparently so, considering Powers has brought that title belt into Eliminator's gut, KISS THE CANVAS! Eliminator is tossed aside, and Powers goes for the cover! 1..........Ivy sees what's going on but she's GRABBED by Susan! 2..................3! This one is over, and Powers is still the US Champion, in a match FROUGHT with controversy on both sides!
BB:WHAT IS GINA DOING? She's hit Ivy in the back with a steel chair! Now Susan has grabbed the Singapore Cane and is going to work on that injured knee! Powers is STILL working Flair over with that title belt! Security comes out and pulls Flair to the outside, but Powers appears to be done. Susan and Gina give Ivy one more whack with that cane, and they join Powers. Powers takes the mike from Rhubarb....
POWERS:FLAIR! Remember tonight..... And remember, when you F*** with Kevin Powers.... You KISS THE CANVAS!
BB:This was an amazing matchup..... we'll be right back.
(Cut to a commercial for the CSWA's next major PPV event, ELVIS LIVES CELEBRATION XI)
MAIN
EVENT "Hurricane" Eddy Love and Masked
Love |
BB:Fans, this has been a night to remember. The Elimination Squad has just left the ringside area, and the paramedics are tending to Flair. He claims he's allright, but with the damage he took to the back tonight...... Poison Ivy has a SEVERE limp, though she refused any help - she left the ringside area under her own power. Fans, this was without a doubt a humbling experience for Ivy and Flair, as they mocked Powers' ability to wrestle this kind of match. I know there have been a lot of people who have taken in everything that Powers and company have done, and have considered him a bit of a joke..... but heaven help the next man to get in Kevin Powers' way.
SP:And we've got yet another war up next.... as Eddy Love and Mark Vizzack will meet for the first time in the ring in the CSWA... but with an extra added bonus. A man wearing a mask, and a set of Eddy Love tights will be teaming with the CSWA Champion, to oppose the man that many say have Love's number, "Daredevil" Mark Vizzack, and a partner that he STILL has not named!
BB:But once more, ANOTHER bonus! Whoever gets the pinfall will win the CSWA Title! This match will answer a lot of questions, but it still doesn't give the fans EXACTLY what they want, and that is a match between Vizzack and Love, no partners, no stipulations.... One on one, to see who the better man is. Enough talking from me, though.... It's time for action. Let's head up to Rhubarb.
RJ:Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is a tag-team match, scheduled for one fall, and it is for the CSWA World Heavyweight Championship! The rules are simple. Whoever scores the pinfall will be awarded the World Championship!!!!!
(HUGE FAN POP)
Without any further adieu, HERE ARE THE CONTESTANTS!!!!! The first participant hails from Clemson, South Carolina, and is led to the ring by his manager, "Sweet" Melissa. He weighs in at 255 pounds, and is the CURRENT CSWA WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION! Here is... "Hurricane" EDDY LOVE!!!!!!
(Cue up: "All You Need is Love" - The Beatles. Eddy Love comes out of the curtain with Sweet Melissa, wearing the VERY shiny CSWA World Title belt around his waist. He's wearing his patented "What's not to LOVE about Hurricane Eddy?/I break it you bought it" T-Shirt. The two embrace in a VERY passionate kiss as the chant, "GET A ROOM" starts up. The two seem to be soaking in the boos of the crowd, with the small smattering of a heel pop behind it.)
RJ:And his partner, the man who has been TERRORIZING the CSWA, "Masked" Eddy Love!!!!!
(The masked man comes out to no fanfare, no music, no nothing. He is dressed head to toe in black, giving away no indication of his identity. He gets to the ring, he and Eddy seem to be friendly with each other....)
BB:Allright... here we go.
(Cue up:"Don't Tell Me (What Love can Do)" - Van Halen)
RJ:HIS OPPONENT......
SP:Get ready, Buckley.... this one is gonna blow the roof off the building....
RJ:Led to the ring, by the INCOMPARABLE Sunshine Del Payne..... Weighing in at 229 pounds.... from Baltimore, Maryland...... "DAREDEVIL" MARK VIZZACK!!!!!!!!!!!!
(Vizzack and Sunshine appear from behind the curtain, and the fans EXPLODE in cheers. Sunshine has changed her clothes from her match to a sleeveless dark purple dress and black boots. A white gauze bandage is wrapped many times around her left forearm. The two approach the ring, trying to slap hands with EVERY fan in the place, but since that's impossible, they do a lap around the ring and get in. Vizzack takes the microphone from Rhubarb....)
VIZZACK:Now is the moment that Eddy here has been dreading..... When I was looking for someone to partner with, I had two things in mind... Someone who could keep the scales balanced, no matter who YOU may be under that mask.... and someone who just wanted the chance to rip into you, Love.... So without further adieu, here's my partner..... BILLY STARR!!!!!!
(Eddy Love and Melissa are just two of thousands of surprised faces.... as Billy Starr comes through the curtain. He looks disheveled and out of it, but he's in shape, and he looks ready to wrestle.)
BB:CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?? There's NOBODY in the CSWA that wants a shot at Eddy Love more then Billy Starr! It was Starr that Love beat in the finals for the CSWA Title, it was Starr who was betrayed by the Corporation when he lost leadership back to Joey Melton. But, on the flipside, it was Starr who eliminated Vizzack from the World Tournament in the Great Eight... is there something amiss there as well?
SP:Amiss? Who are you, Bill Buckley or Simon Smith?
BB:Cute, Stan, verrry cute. We're ready to get this one started, looks like it'll be Vizzack and the Masked Love in there.... They lock up, and Vizzack is pushed into the ropes. He's one of the lightest men to ever compete in the CSWA... not a lot of raw power, but he's VERY fast. Ben Worthington calls for the break.... and we've got a clean NO! Masked Love with a SLAP to Vizzack! He's not letting him get under his skin, however! They circle again and lock up... NO! Vizzack ducked under Masked Love's arms, off the ropes on the other side.... FLYING CLOTHESLINE! Masked Love gets up, DROPKICK sends him back down to the canvas! Masked Love gets back to his feet, Vizzack off the ropes... Slingshots himself to the top, MOONSAULT FROM THE MIDDLE OF THE TOP ROPE! The cover,1.............2.............NO! Masked Love kicks out and he RUNS to his corner to tag in Eddy Love!
SP:Look at Vizzack! He's waving Love in! He wants this more then the 45,000 screaming fans in this building!!! Love tags in, and for the first time in the CSWA, Eddy Love and Mark Vizzack stand across from each other in the middle of the ring! Bill, what do you think these two men are thinking right now? What kind of game plan will they employ?
BB:I think Eddy Love's plan has got to be, work on Vizzack's legs! Vizzack's got to keep him from doing that! They circle.... neither man wants to be the one to make the mistake.... Neither man wants to be the one to take second place to the other! This feud transcends ALL facets of wrestling... ALL facets of competition... but at the same time it pushes them to BE the best... Both men can lay claim to the title of 'best,' but here is where we FIND IT OUT.
SP:Very good, Bill... but they've locked up. Love has about twenty, thirty pounds on Vizzack, but they're pretty much even! Love takes a backstep to bring Vizzack closer, and a knee to the midsection! Vizzack doubles over, and another knee by Love! Love whips him into the ropes, but doesn't let go! He stops the Irish Whip before it starts! Why?
BB:Because he realized that if he sent Vizzack into the ropes he might be eating a dropkick at the moment! He's got to keep Vizzack grounded! Love applies a side headlock!
SP:Watch it, Bill..... Sweet Melissa is taking a few steps toward Sunshine.... She's saying something about Sunshine's bandage!
BB:But she's not moving! Sunshine is standing her ground! I think she's telling Melissa to go away! Melissa laughs... what is she doing?
SP:She's taken what seems to be a.... is that a water balloon? Sweet Melissa has actually pulled out a water ballon on Sunshine! She throws it!
(As the water balloon flies at Sunshine, she shifts her body and catches it, without spilling a drop. Melissa seems to get the picture and goes back to her corner.)
BB:Did you see that? Sunshine is a CHANGED WOMAN tonight, Stan!
SP:Indeed she is.... Back to the ring, Vizzack has fought his way to a vertical base... Love with an elbow to the side! And now he locks in a sleeper hold! Vizzack is fading fast!
BB:Not on your life, Stan.... Vizzack fights his way to the corner.... why doesn't he grab the ropes... THAT'S IT! Vizzack has WALKED his way to the top turnbuckle using Love as leverage! He flips himself backwards..... LOVE'S SHOULDERS ARE DOWN! 1.........2..........NO! Vizzack is dazed though, Stan... He's reaching for the tag! Starr! Turn around!
SP:What is he looking at? Billy Starr is NOT paying any attention to his partner! And Love takes the advantage to grab Vizzack and hit him with a side suplex! He drops an elbow.... NO! Vizzack rolled out of the way! He's off the ropes... FRANK N' PARSONS!!! Love to his feet, Vizzack to the top rope.... He jumps, and catches Love in a DDT! Oh my god! I've NEVER seen that before! He goes for the tag again, but Starr is looking at Melissa! What's he doing?
BB:Vizzack and Starr better get themselves figured out, because Love has just tagged in the Masked Love again! Vizzack turns around, HE GETS HIT BY A SOLID RIGHT HOOK! Worthington telling the Masked Love to open his hands, and he does just that with a slap in the face! And another one! And a third.. NO! Vizzack headbutts Masked Love in the stomach and climbs to the top rope! DROPKICK TO THE BACK! The cover, 1...............2................3! NO! NO! Masked Love kicked out! He rolls to the other side and tags in Eddy!
SP:Too late, here comes the Daredevil!
BB:Dropkick to Eddy Love! Love staggers, but doesn't go down! Another dropkick... LOVE backed up! Eddy Love took a backstep and all Vizzack hits is the canvas! Love doesn't waste a SECOND as he hooks in a Boston Crab! Vizzack is in a lot of pain, Stan!
SP:This is completely in Love's favor.... He takes a breather, making Vizzack carry his weight, and at the same time causes considerable damage to Vizzack's back AND legs! Worthington is in there, but Vizzack doesn't want to give in! Let's catch what they're saying on the ring mike!
WORTHINGTON:Vizzack, you wanna give in?
VIZZACK:NO!
LOVE:Give it up, you worm! I told you you 're not a match for Hurricane Season, so give it up before I end your career! SAY IT!
VIZZACK:...............NEVER! You'll have to snap my spine before I give you that satisfaction!
WORTHINGTON:Vizzack, do you want to give?
VIZZACK:I.......SAID.........NO!
LOVE:C'mon, Vizzwhack, when I break your back and end your career, who's gonna protect Sunshine?
VIZZACK:Love.... prepare to be handed your lungs.....
BB:WHAT IS VIZZACK DOING? It looks like he's trying to raise his body off the ground.... He's trying to power out!
SP:Powering out of the Boston Crab does more damage then the Crab itself.... this may be a mistake.
BB:Mistake or not, Vizzack has done it! He's pushed Love off his back and into the ropes! Vizzack back to his feet, but he's limping, Stan! He has to tag out!
SP:But Starr is still not looking! Vizzack grabs his shoulder and turns him around, and THEY ARE YELLING AT EACH OTHER!!!! Bill, this is bad for their team! They can't win this match if they're not a unit!
BB:Vizzack looks like he's sick of this! He just shoved Starr! STARR WITH A RIGHT HAND!!!! STARR KNOCKED VIZZACK WITH A RIGHT HAND! And Vizzack fires back! He's had enough!!!
(HUGE FAN POP)
SP:Apparently he's not the only one... look who's heading toward the ring!!!
(CUT TO:The aisle. Hornet is coming toward the ring, wearing a cast on his leg and sporting two metal crutches. He's wearing no face paint, and sports a modified "Eddy Love" shirt that reads "Legend KILLA KILLER")
BB:The fans are going CRAZY! Hornet has made his return to a CSWA arena! In the ring, none of the participants have noticed yet! Starr with another right hand sends Vizzack backwards into Eddy Love's waiting arms... HURRICANE PILEDRIVER!!! The cover, 1...........2.............. LOVE SEES HORNET! LOVE SEES HORNET! He breaks the count himself and leaves the ring! HORNET AND LOVE ARE SCREAMING AT EACH OTHER! Melissa calls for Love to return to the ring and he does so, but he tags out to Masked Love and returns to argue with Hornet!
SP:This is a mistake.... Where do Starr's loyalties lie?
BB:It's pretty obvious where they DON'T lie.... with Mark Vizzack! Vizzack is still down and out, and Masked Love is dropping elbows! The cover, 1..........2...........NO! Vizzack isn't out of it yet! Masked Love picks him up, over the shoulder....... He runs Vizzack into the turnbuckle, BUT VIZZACK SLIDES DOWN MASKED LOVE'S BACK! Masked Love hits the turnbuckle, a roll up by Vizzack, 1...............2.........NO! Vizzack picks Masked Love up.... whips him across the ring... is he setting him up for what I think?
SP:Vizzack gets a running start..... HORNET SPLASH! Vizzack hit the Masked Love with the Hornet Splash! Speaking of which, Hornet is now THREATENING Love with that crutch! What's Vizzack doing? He's got Masked Love by the head! HE'S PULLING THAT MASK OFF! HE'S PULLING THE MASK OFF..... It's... It's.....
BB:IT'S STEVE RADDER! STEVE RADDER WAS UNDER THE MASK! VIZZACK IS FURIOUS!
BB:Vizzack with a fist to the midsection.... off the ropes.... DAREDEVIL FLYER!!!!! HE HIT IT! IT'S OVER!!!!!!! NO! Eddy Love turned around and sees what happened1 The cover, 1.................2................NO! Eddy Love broke up the pinfall attempt! Worthington telling Love to get out of the ring, HERE COMES HORNET!
SP:Hornet hobbles up the ring steps.... HE BRINGS THAT STEEL CRUTCH DOWN ON EDDY LOVE'S HEAD!!!!! Worthington calls for the bell and this one is going to be a no contest! Radder is climbing back to his feet... HE FIRES A FIST AT HORNET! Hornet hits the floor! Sunshine rushes to see how he is.... but the Iceman now has Vizzack by the arms.... LOVE with a crutch! VIZZACK DUCKED! LOVE HIT RADDER! And now, once again, Eddy Love and Mark Vizzack are standing face to face!
BB:Not for long though... HERE COMES KEVIN POWERS! Powers is taped up from his match with Flair.... and he's trying to get a word with Starr, who has been standing around just watching this unfold! They have a few words.... wait... There's a commotion in the crowd..... what's happening?
SP:I'll tell you what's happening, that's Eli Flair, and he's holding that Singapore Cane that beat Ivy down earlier! He approaches Powers' blindside.... CANE TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD! Powers goes down, and now it's Flair taking on Love and Radder! Billy Starr is still just watching, but Mark Vizzack begins to stir! He grabs Love from behind! Love is whipped into the ropes.... HORNET WITH A CRUTCH TO THE BACK! LOVE GOES DOWN HARD!
BB:I can't believe what we've seen here tonight..... This has been simply an AMAZING NIGHT of action! We're almost out of time, so for Sammy Benson, Teri Melton, and Stan Parsons, my name is Bill Buckley! We'll try to have some information in the Tribune as far as these events go as soon as we sort it out ourselves! Goodnight!
(The camera cuts back, slowly zooming out.... The last shot shows Flair and Vizzack, back to back, fighting off PLR, and with an occasional shot from Hornet, doing a good job at it.... Almost insignificantly, Billy Starr leaves the ring and walks out of the arena......... )
