CSWA PRIMETIME in Phoenix
August 14, 2000

It's time...it's time..it's Radder/Powers time!

 

MAIN EVENT
Top Contenders Match

Kevin Powers vs. Steve Radder

BB:  We're back, folks...what a match we saw between Randalls and Stanley.   Wait...what is Merritt doing coming down to ringside?  Are we about to get another 'announcement?'

SB:  Does that mean I've got time for a bathroom break?  I don't think I should have had those nachos...

BB:  Apparently not...Merritt takes a seat near Rhubarb Jones.  Let's just hope he doesn't get involved in this Top Contenders match.

("Play With Me" by Insane Clown Posse is queued up and ‘Good God’ Kevin Powers walks to the ring. He gets a hail of abuse from the fans as he makes his way to ringside but he seems to ignore it as he hops between the ropes and faces the walkway.)

BB: Powers looks ready, this man has been at the top of the CSWA for a long time but has never worn the World title, he knows that defeating Radder here might bring him the opportunity.

(Steve Radder waits for his music to replace Powers' before "The Iceman" makes his way to the ring to a good pop from the crowd, he waves to a few of them before he slides under the ropes and gets in the face of Powers.)

BB: Steve doesn’t look like he wants to waste any time here……AS THE Y START TO DUKE IT OUT! RADDER AND POWERS ARE GOING BLOW FOR BLOW AS THE REFEREE SIGNALS FOR THE BELL FOR THIS THING TO START…..

SB: ….That’s what I like to see….a referee who has control!

BB: Radder looks pumped and Powers is obviously in a bad mood after everything that has gone down here tonight.   A hard right hand sends Powers into the ropes where he’s clotheslined over the top rope by Steve Radder who hops outside and continues to wail away at Kevin! The ref is trying to get between them but not before Radder has sent Powers head first into the guard rails! Once again ref Ben Worthington gets in between and shouts at "The Iceman" to get back in the ring……THUMB TO THE EYE BY POWERS OVER THE REF’S SHOULDER! WHAT A SNEAKY MOVE! Powers with a kick to the midsection before throwing Radder back into the ring.

SB: Sneaky? Good strategy I say!

BB: Powers with a slam on Radder before dropping two elbow drops and cinching in a headlock. Radder is struggling to get to his feet but Powers has that move locked in, the ref is checking the hold to make sure its not a choke but Radder is back to his feet. A series of elbow shots to Powers midriff loosen the hold as he shoots Powers into the rope……shoulder barge by Powers who bounces off the ropes again with a clothesline to Radder….DUCKED……ANOTHER CLOTHELSINE DUCKED BY RADDER……POWERSLAM BY RADDER AND THERE’S THE COVER….1……2….POWERS KICKS OUT! Radder drags Powers up and delivers a swinging neckbreaker, and now he drops the leg and there’s another cover……1…..2…..another kickout by Powers! Radder looks psyched as he whips Powers into the ropes, back body drop….NO….KICK TO THE FACE BY POWERS FOLLOWED BY A SPINNING BACK ELBOW AS RADDER DROPS TO THE FLOOR!

SB: That’s what I like….high impact baby!

BB: Sidewalk slam by Powers followed by a series of kicks to Radder who tries to pick himself up in the corner but he’s being nailed with an avalanche of right hands by Powers. The ref tells him to break and he does so reluctantly…….BEFORE DRIVING HIS ELBOW INTO RADDER! AND AGAIN, AND A THIRD TIME, RADDDER IS IN A WORLD OF HURT AS POWERS PLAYS TO THE JEERS OF THE FANS!

SB: Huh, what do these people know….they’re from Arizona?!?!  Ask 'em about rattlesnakes and they might have an answer.

BB: Will you behave?!?! Radder is crawling across the ring and gets met with a stiff kick to the ribs by Powers, who picks him up and delivers a hanging suplex in the middle of the ring and there’s a cover……1…….2……..Radder rolls the shoulder! Powers picks him up and whips him into the ropes….BOOT TO THE FACE AND RADDER LOOKS ON DREAM STREET, THERE’S THE COVER……1….2……ONE MORE TIME FOR RADDER AS HE KICKS OUT! I THOUGHT HE WAS DONE FOR THERE!

SB: You and these fans are equally educate in wrestling matters!

BB: And you are professor?!?!? Powers picks the injured Radder up and measures him…..CHOKESLAM! CHOKESLAM! CHECK OUT THE HANGTIME ON THAT CHOKESLAM BY KEVIN POWERS! STEVE RADDER WAS IN THE AIR FOR AN ETERNITY BEFORE HE WAS FOLDED UP ON THE CANVAS AS WE HAV A COVER……1………2…..3, NO, NO, NO! HOW DID RADDER KICK OUT?!?! HE LOOKED DONE FOR BUT SOMEWHERE HE FOUND THE ENERGY TO KICK OUT!

SB: Okay…..he kicked out…….stop shouting will you?!?!

BB: Powers senses its time to finish off Radder, he sets him up on the second rope and climbs to the top rope himself, this looks like Powers’s finisher the ‘Power Extreme’. Powers grabs Radder….Radder with a rabbit punch, and another, he grabs Powers……POWERBOMB FROM THE TOP ROPE AND BOTH MEN ARE DOWN AS THE REF STARTS THE COUNT! 1…..2…..3…..4……5….6….7….8…9…..RADDER IS UP AND HE’S HAVING HIS SECOND WIND! RIGHT HAND ANFTER RIGHT HAND CONNECTS WITH POWERS….DROPKICK BY RADDER! HE PICKS UP POWERS AND DELIVERS A BELLY TO BELLY SUPLEX AND THERE’S THE PIN…..1….2….POWERS KICKS OUT! KICK TO POWERS GUT, KNEE LIFT BY RADDER AND THERE’S THE PIN AGAIN……..1….2….ANOTHER KICKOUT BY POWERS! RADDER SENDS HIM INTO THE ROPES….SAMOAN DROP INTO A BRIDGE……1………2…..POWERS HAS HIS FOOT ON THE ROPE!

SB: This looks back for Kevin Powers, somebody help him!

BB: Radder is on his feet, he’s giving the sign for his finisher…..he picks up Powers….. WAIT…… APOCALPYSE IS RUSHING TO THE RING! BIG TIME CLOTHESLINE BY APOCALYPSE AND RADDER IS DOWN! THE REF IS CALLING FOR THE BELL BUT THAT ISN’T HELPING RADDER, THE DARK CARNIVAL ARE TEARING INTO HIM! CHOKESLAM BY APOCALYPSE FOLLOWED BY A SPLASH FROM THE TOP ROPE FROM POWERS! APOCALYPSE IS CONTINUING HIS TEAR THROUGH THE CSWA AND IT SEEMS STEVE RADDER IS NEXT ON THE LIST! WAIT A MINUTE......LAWRENCE STANLEY IS RUNNING TO RINGSIDE! "THE ENGLISH GENT" SUFFERED AT THE HANDS OF APOCALYPSE EARLIER TONIGHT AND NOW HE WANTS REVENGE!   I can't believe Stanley is coming down after the beating he just took..he can barely stand!  Stanley uncorks right hand after right hand on Apoc.  Those two slug it out while Radder and Powers continue to rip into each other!  Pumphandle slam by Radder as Apoc levels Stanley with a big bot!  NECKBREAKER by Radder on Powers...FACEDOWN by Stanley on Apoc as the two strange allies fight back to back against The Dark Carnival.  The refs and security are pouring out from the back to break this up, but they're being thrown out of the ring during the melee.  These fans are going wild!

SB: This is getting crazy, I want to go home!

BB: Commissioner Merritt is up at ringside, and he's calling for backup.  Security guards swarm the ring and dive on The Dark Carnival!  Merritt's getting a measure of revenge on Powers and Apocalypse for everything that's going on tonight.  The Dark Carnival is being handcuffed and dragged away by security!!!   Referee Ben Worthington raises Radder's hand in a disqualification victory as Lawrence Stanley begins to make his way back up the ramp.  LOOK OUT!!!  MIKE RANDALLS FROM BEHIND!!!  RANDALLS came out of the crowd and he's standing behind Radder!   Radder turns and now the two top contenders are having a staredown!  These two will meet at SHOWTIME in Santa Fe!  And now Stanley sees Randalls in the ring and he makes a U-turn to get involved!  WHAT A NIGHT, WHAT A CARD! WHAT WILL HAPPEN NEXT? STAY WITH THE CSWA AND FIND OUT! FOR SAMMY BENSON I’M BILL BUCKLEY SAYING SO LONG FOLKS!
