CSWA PRIMETIME in New Orleans |
November 11, 2001 |
(CUE UP: A classical rendition of "God Save the Queen." From
behind the screen, holding the small of his back, limping somewhat is
"The English Gent" Lawrence Stanley. As he walks out, the
crowd gets up in a united eruption and ovation. BB:
And there he is fans. A man who came seconds away from winning the CSWA
World Title earlier tonight... and a man who is out to gain some revenge
in this match against.... THAT DAMN HORNET... the man who stole his
girlfriend! SB:
But he has to get that revenge while nursing a back that was damaged at
the hands of Steve Radder... and he also has to take on Eli Flair AND
Mike Randalls. I have some respect for
Stanley
... not much, but
some... but he REALLY doesn't belong in the ring tonight. He's
completely outmatched, in the ring with five Hall of Famers! (The
lights dim and the crowd starts to let out another scream. The
introductory moog riffs of "Let's Go" by The Cars cues up, and
on the video wall the word "PLAY" flashes followed by the
world "BOYS". The lights come back on, and under the flashing
wall of light are TROY WINDHAM and EDDY LOVE-- both frozen in a dramatic
pose. SB:
And here are Eddy Love and Troy Windham, two men who are role models and
heroes to not just myself, but to millions of fans around the world.
There guys are the epitome of the word cool! BB:
And also the epitome of the word ego... look, at this, both Troy
and Eddy are point at
Lawrence Stanley and yelling at him already. SB:
Of course! He deserves it. (CUE
UP: "Tainted Love" by Marilyn Manson. The lights go into this
blacklight motif, and Eli Flair walks from under the video wall, his
head down, long hair dripping wet, his black tights have glowing skulls
down their sides, "King of Extreme" in block letters on his
butt. Eli begins walking down to the runway with a large amount of
cheers. Eli gets to the ramp, pounds his chest twice and lets out a
scream as he turns and points right to Troy Windham.) BB:
Eli Flair looks pumped, pointing at his archrival. SB:
But don't forget... Eddy Love hates Eli as much as (CUE
UP: "All Star" by Smash Mouth. The Video wall broadcasts the
words... LEGEND. POWER. HORNET, followed by a shot of Hornet splashing
the corner. On cue, Hornet walks out-- face freshly painted in a black
and yellow pattern-- who raises his hands and sneers at the fans. CUT
TO: A sign that reads THAT DAMN HORNET, with Hornet's face crossed out.) BB:
And when you talk about hatred... you have to talk about Lawrence
Stanley... who saw
Teri Melton embarrass him in public for Hornet! SB:
And in the process, Hornet also embarrassed the Femi-Nazi Poison Ivy...
who hasn't been heard from since, thank God! But that caused a riff
between these ClaimStakers... as Eli Flair wants NOTHING to do with
Hornet... unless it involves beating him! BB:
Which might happen already, as Hornet and Eli are already screaming at
each other! And now they're shoving each other! SB:
Oh man, we might not even get to see a match. BB:
Hornet and Flair are jawing at each other and-- (The lights go out, and
a blast of feedback noise comes over the speakers, with television
static coming on the Video wall screen. Spotlights go crazy all over the
arena and then one spotlight focuses on a man at ringside--- shaved
head, face painted black and red Great Muta style, staring at the ring.) BB:
And if this just didn't get odder... who is that? SB:
Apparantly, the CSWA will just let any madman hop over the railings
these days. BB:
That man in the facepaint is standing between Hornet and Flair, who are
staring back at him... (CLOSE UP: The man in face paint smirking at both
men.) That's... ohmyyyy... THAT'S MIKE RANDALLS! SB:
Like I said... the CSWA will just let any madman hop over the railings
these days. Why is Mike Randalls wearing that... makeup! He looks even
darker than usual! BB:
While I can only venture what is going behind Mike Randalls' mind... I
think I can guess why. This isn't just any match... this is six men, one
ring, with one goal in mind... the complete and total victory over the
other side. SB:
These men are bent on destroying each other. That's the bottom line.
Some people could lose their careers in this match! BB:
Mike Randalls slithers into the ring, intent on starting the match
against... well, it looks like Mike Randalls is going to be in the ring
with Troy Windham. And if memory serves me correctly... this is the
first time both these icons are going to be facing each other in the
ring… at least since they both returned well over a year ago, if not
two! SB:
Both these guys have done so much... except face each other! People have
been dreaming of this for eternity!
Um…do you think George Lucas can sue us for the makeup Randalls
has on? BB:
Randalls and
Windham
are in each other's
faces, staring at each other, nose to nose, right in the middle of the
ring. SB:
Oh man... that didn't take long! We have blood already! BB:
I have no idea how Pee Wee Troutman is going to keep this under
control... Randalls and Troy
are now both
struggling on their feet and... (CROWD: WOOOOO!) Randalls just chops Troy
right in the chest!
And again with a (CROWD: WOOOOO!) chop! Another chop! SB:
Manohman... How does Randalls swing his arm that fast and that hard? BB:
SB:
That knee was headed towards
Troy's nose right there...
that face is what gets him the posters and movie deals! BB:
SB:
Just when you think you know a guy, he breaks out some bizarre wrestling
hold that you've never seen before! BB:
Randalls grabs the ropes, and Troutman forces The Boy Troy to break the
hold. Randalls drags himself up by the ropes, and Troy
meets Randalls with a
quick kick to the stomach. SB:
And, as everyone in this arena knows... Troy Windham's neck isn't
anywhere CLOSE to being at 50 percent, let alone 100 percent. He might
be done already! BB:
Which is why he's crawling towards his corner... and he's about to tag
in Lawrence Stanley-- NO! SB:
HA! Man... I gotta remember that move! BB:
Troy
reached as if he was
going to tag in The Gent, but instead pulled his hand and went behind
the back to Eddy Love... (The crowd starts chanting ED-DY ED-DY) who
will now get in the ring with his current archrival... Mike Randalls! SB:
Look at Eddy, pulling on the ropes. He wants this bad and you know
Randalls wants this bad als-- awwww man! BB:
No! Hornet just reached in and tagged in Randalls, who is REALLY upset
at that, shooting daggers at Hornet. Hornet cocks back and lets out a
yell, right in the face of Randalls and Eli. The former four-time CSWA
World Champion turns around and he gets met with a snapmare from The
Hurricane! Eddy bounces off
the ropes and dropkicks Hornet in the back of his head! SB:
As the millions of Eddy Lovers out there know, that is NOT something
you'd expect from my main man. But you can tell he's fired up tonight! BB:
Eddy now hoists Hornet up and whips him into the corner and follows with
a clothesline! Now Eli whips Hornet into the other corner... and he
charges-- HORNET SPLASH! EDDY LOVE JUST GAVE HORNET HIS OWN MOVE! EDDY
COVERS! SB:
YES! BB:
ONE! TWO! NO! Hornet just kicked out! Now both men are up... LOVE
CRADLES HORNET! ONE... TWO... NO! Hornet kicked out! Hornet just kicked
out in the nick of time! SB:
That's why Eddy's the best in the business today! BB:
Eddy now has Hornet from behind in a waistlock-- NO! NO! Hornet just
kicked Eddy from behind! And Eddy falls to the mat hard! SB:
Hornet didn't just hurt Eddy with that... he hurt the thousands of
ladies who want to step into the ‘eye of the hurricane’ later
tonight! BB:
Hornet now has Eddy's knee and is stomping away on it with some vicious
kicks... perhaps setting Eddy up for the Scorpion Deathlock! SB:
It doesn't matter... Eddy is invincible! BB:
Hornet drops an elbow on Love's knee... and he turns to the crowd (CLOSEUP:
Hornet: "Watch and learn, baby!") and drops an elb-- NO! NO!
Eli Flair just tagged in Hornet! Troutman is making Hornet get out of
the ring! Hornet is beside himself! He can't believe it! He's yelling at
Eli, who is yelling right back at him! SB:
And look at Eddy Love, cagey as always! He's sliding back to his corner,
where-- BB:
Where he was about to tag in Troy Windham, but Lawrence Stanley tagged
in instead! SB:
I gotta think that
Stanley
might be a little worn
out from his earlier classic against Radder. BB:
Eli off the ropes and stomps
Stanley
right in the face! Oh
man... I think
Stanley's been busted open! SB:
I don't mind seeing this guy bleed... nope, not one bit. BB:
Eli now has Stanley
set up for a
neckbreaker-- NO! Hornet just tagged in Eli! Troutman is making Eli
break the hold! Hornet is stomping away on
Stanley
and he turns and just
flipped off Eli! Oh no,
Stanley
just dropped Hornet in
a drop-toe-hold and now is on top of Hornet, and he's punching away on
Hornet, who himself is now starting to bleed! SB:
Stanley
could be in a coma
from a bungee cord accident, and you know he'd wake up just to try and
get at Hornet! BB:
Stanley
has Hornet wrapped
up... gutwrench powerbomb! SB:
Both these guys are busted up badly... manohman, the CSWA is really
going to be helping out some doctors tonight! BB:
SB:
I think he did more than that... more like a 59324930... BB: Stanley’s now on top of
Hornet, punching him, talking trash... OH NO! Hornet just pulled Stanley
forward! SB:
On top of wrestling a 30-minute match before, now Stanley
is busted open AND has
a concussion! Serves him right for not quitting once Teri dumped him! BB:
Hornet now looks up at Eli... and he just flicked some of his blood at
Flair! That's just disgusting! SB:
Hornet has always been a vile human being... it just took all you people
a few years to see what I've known all along! BB:
Hornet bounces off the ropes now... BULLDOG! And ohhhhh... Hornet is
RUBBING Stanley's face into the mat
and is SCREAMING at him. Troutman is yelling at Hornet to stop it, but
Hornet won't! SB:
He wants to eliminate Stanley... who is quickly rising up the ladder of
superstars in this industry. If Hornet can take him out now, he's
keeping himself away from dealing with this rival for years to come!
Especially a rival who has every reason to want him dead! BB:
Hornet now has
Stanley
up and chops him... (Crowd: WOOOOO!) Hornet now knees The
Gent in the stomach and knees him in the stomach... (CLOSEUP: A bloodied
Hornet. "This is IT!") Hornet hoists
Stanley
up and bounces him off
the ropes... SLINGSHOT GOURDBUSTER! HE JUST DROPPED STANLEY
FACE FIRST ON THE MAT! SB:
Look at that grin on Hornet's face... he's enjoying this! BB:
Hornet casually covers
Stanley
... One.... two... no! SB:
Hornet should have covered him up better than that if he wanted to put
him away... of course, Hornet's been The Champ more times than I can
remember, so who am I, really? BB:
I've asked myself that several times in my life... Hornet now has SB:
We've seen him fly though the air in recent months. BB:
Hornet is slowly climbing to the top... he raises his arms! (Flashbulbs
pop as Hornet is in mid-pose.) SHOOTING STAR PRESS! NO! NO! SB:
I CAN'T HEAR YOU! THESE FANS ARE CLAPPING TOO LOUDLY! WHAT DID YOU SAY?
I MUST SOUND LIKE A SLOW PERSON! BB: STANLEY
IS CRAWLING TOWARDS
THE CORNER! BOTH EDDY AND
TROY
WANT IN! COME ON
LAWRENCE! NO! RANDALLS JUST
TAGGED IN FROM HORNET AND HE RUNS OVER AND CUTS OFF LAWRENCE! SB:
Randalls just dragged
Stanley
back into the middle
of the ring, right as he was about to tag in Eddy Love... Randalls is
smirking at Eddy, as Eddy has to wait before they can tear into each
other! You would think that Randalls would WANT Eddy in the ring,
though. BB:
But now Eddy has to watch The Wolf pick apart his tag partner... and he
can't do anything about it except watch it as the chances of his team
beating The Claimstakers gets slimmer and slimmer. Randalls is stomping
away on Stanley, who is trying to get to his feet... Randalls has Stanley
hooked by both arms...
BUTTERFLY SUPLEX! SB:
Randalls delivered that like a snap suplex... he's super strong, and
also super creepy! BB:
Randalls follows
Stanley
immediately, like a
hunter chasing his prey... driving a double axehandle to Stanley's spine.
Randalls now
hoists the larger
Stanley
up, backbreaker! And another one! SB:
Listen to Stanley
scream in pain... not
the first time you've heard a Brit scream for mercy at the hands of an
American! BB:
Randalls now is sitting on
Stanley's back and he hooks
the arms... CAMEL CLUTCH! Randalls is cinching back, asphyxiating SB:
How can he breathe? He's gotta be hurt. The man has wrestled two matches
tonight and is being choked out by the toughest wrestler to ever walk
the planet! BB:
Stanley
is pretty tough
himself... Randalls is pulling back, yelling for Troutman to ring the
bell. Look at SB:
He might lose oxygen to his brain... that could make him even less
coherent! BB:
Troutman checks the arm... it drops once... and a second time... and a
thir-- NO! SB:
All his weight and all of Randalls' weight fell at once! BB: Stanley
is out on the mat...
but Randalls reaches back and tags in Eli! Eli Flair climbs into the
ring and stomps Stanley
on the back... and is
now hunched over, motioning for
Stanley
to get up! Eli again
stomps Stanley, motioning for the big
Brit to get up! SB:
Eli, trust me... if he could, he would! BB:
The King of Extreme now picks up Stanley
by his hair... and he
hooks his legs... I don't know what this is going to be... SB:
Something incredibly violent, I'm guessing. BB:
FLAIR PICKS
STANLEY
UP AND DROPS BACK IN A CRADLE PILEDRIVER! I THINK HE JUST
SNAPPED
STANLEY'S NECK IN TWO! WHAT A MOVE FROM ELI! SB:
He should be locked up... if he can even THINK about doing that to
another human being, let alone doing that... he should be locked up. BB:
Eli is staring at
Troy
and Eddy, both of whom have been out of the ring for
almost 15 minutes at this point. Eli looks down at Stanley, who is out
cold from taking the beating of a lifetime. And Eli now points at
Stanley... and turns to
Hornet! It looks like The Claimstakers are back as a unit. SB:
Hornet looks like a 4-year-old in a candy store! He wants in
desperately! BB:
Eli TAGS Hornet in! Hornet immediately runs to Stanley
and begins to
grapevine the legs... NOOO! ELI FLAIR JUST CAME OUT OF NOWHERE AND
DECKED HORNET FROM BEHIND, BREAKING THE HOLD! HORNET TURNS AROUND---
CHOKESLAM! CHOKESLAM! FLAIR JUST CHOKESLAMMED HORNET! SB:
I LOVE IT WHEN PEOPLE I HATE GET HURT! BB:
Randalls is now in the ring, yelling at Flair! Hornet is rolling out of
the ring... Now Hornet is walking to the locker room! He doesn't want
anything to do with this anymore! And Randalls and Flair are shoving
each other... OHHHHEDDDDYYYY LOVVVE! EDDY LOVE JUST FLEW OUT OF NOWHERE
AND FLIPPED OVER THE TOP ROPE WITH ELI FLAIR! LOVE IS POUNDING AWAY ON
FLAIR AT RINGSIDE! SB:
GET HIM EDDY! THIS IS FOR YOU, MELISSA! BB:
The bloodied, battered Lawrence Stanley also just fell to ringside... I
think he's out cold! He's hurt badly! And Randalls and Troy
are in the ring,
exchanging chops with each other! SB:
WAIT! WAIT! LOOK UP AT THE TOP OF THE ENTRANCEWAY? WHAT THE HELL IS
THIS? BB:
A man... some guy dressed in cowboy gear is up there... Hornet looks at
this guy... I can't see who it is. That guy just handed Hornet a tape of
some kind... and Hornet is backpedaling away, and this guy is walking
towards ringside. He throws his hat down... that's... that's... SB:
THAT'S MARK! THAT'S MARK WINDHAM! THAT'S MARK
WINDHAM! OH MY GOD! I CAN'T
BELIEVE IT! (The
crowd is going NUTS, chanting MARK! MARK! MARK!) BB:
Eli and Eddy are now in the crowd, slugging it out... SB:
NO ONE DOES! NO ONE EVER THOUGHT WE WOULD SEE HIM AGAIN! BB:
Mark is in the ring and he waits... his brother Troy
turns around and
finally sees him! And Troy
can't believe it! SB:
As am I... these two haven't talked in years! And they've NEVER been
face to face in a wrestling ring before! BB:
Troy
doesn't know what to
do... he reaches his hand out to Mark, who just stares at it! AND NOW
MARK JUST DECKED TROY
WITH THAT PATENTED
LEFT HAND! THE SOUTHPAW JUST DECKED HIS BROTHER! SB:
OHHH MAN! THE
WINDHAM
FAMILY FEUD HAS STARTED ONCE AGAIN! BB:
Mark is staring down at the mat at
Troy, who is holding his
head... AND NOW MARK JUST SPINS AROUND HITS RANDALLS WITH A LEFT HOOK!
HE JUST SENT RANDALLS TO THE MAT! SB:
Mikey didn't even see it coming! No one did!
But does that mean Randalls just got tagged in?! BB:
This crowd can't stop chanting... Mark! Mark! Mark! The enigmatic CSWA
legend is apparently back in the saddle! But now, after that dramatic
debut... he's once again leaving! SB:
And look in the crowd! Eddy's got the chair! BB:
EDDY JUST CROWNED ELI WITH A CHAIR TO THE FACE! ELI IS NOW BUSTED OPEN!
AND EDDY AGAIN HITS ELI! SB:
This is Eddy's chance at revenge for Melissa... BB:
Randalls and The Slacker are now getting up, both still in shock after
the dramatic appearance of Mark Windham! Randalls quickly brings SB:
Troy's neck can NOT handle
that! BB:
Randalls is on the mat, fatigued himself... but he covers Troy! One...
Two... no! SB:
Come on, Eddy! Show him why you're The Southern Dandy! BB:
Randalls now onto the second rope... LEG DROP RIGHT ACROSS WINDHAM
'S NECK! But Randalls
is holding his back somewhat. I think it must still hurt from earlier in
the match when SB:
He always does that... he always finds a way at the last possible
second! BB:
Flair and Love are now up on the upper deck! Flair has Love... RUSSIAN
LEG SWEEP ONTO THE STEPS! BOTH MEN ARE DOWN…and I don’t know if Eddy
Love’s gonna get back up! SB:
Comeoncomeoncomeon Eddy.... BB:
Randalls is crouched down, looking at SB:
NOOO! Randalls is gonna take
Troy
out for good right here! BB:
Randalls has
Troy
in the air... OHHHHHHNOO! HE JUST DROPPED TROY IN A
MICHINOKU DRIVER! SB:
AND FLAIR JUST SUPLEXED EDDY DOWN THOSE STEPS! BB:
Randalls drags
Troy
to the middle of the ring... he wants to make sure
that this is it right here! Randalls covers... ONE..... TWOOOO...
THREEENOOOOO!!!! SB:
Flair is on top of Eddy, pounding away... I can't watch this anymore.
Just look at the smirk on his face! BB:
Randalls is up immediately and he whips Stanley
to the corner-- No! SB:
Eli is setting Eddy up... he wants to eliminate Eddy forever! NOOOO!
EDDY LOVE FOREVER! (From the runway, Eddy is seen perilously leaning on
the upper deck railing, right next to the Video wall.) BB:
SB:
And Eli is AGAIN wailing away on Eddy... and now Eli backs up! He wants
to dump Eddy off the top! NOOO! BB: Stanley
is up, and he hooks
Randalls... HE WANTS TO GIVE HIM HIS PUMPHANDLE POWERBOMB! SB:
FLAIR RUNS AT EDDYYYY----- OHHHHHHHHHHHH! EDDY BACKDROPPPPS ELIIIIIIII----
(The crowd is going bonkers as Eli falls off the second tier and lands
on an area next to the runway, as a loud crashing noise can be heard.) BB:
Randalls is standing over
Stanley, and he grapevines the
leg for the Devastator! Randalls has the legs hoo--- NOOO! (As
soon as the bell rings, fireworks begin to go off all over the place.
The crowd is leaping up and down like mad, screaming and screeching! The
camera cuts to Troy Windham, looking up in disbelief. Eddy Love, on the
upper deck, props himself up to raise his hand. Randalls
is on his knees, not believing it as Troutman raises SB: NO WAY! NO(BLEEP)ING WAY! I DON'T BELIEVE THIS! BB:
AFTER WRESTLING 30 PLUS MINUTES EARLIER IN THE EVENING AGAINST OUR WORLD
CHAMPION... AFTER BEING PICKED APART FOR AN ENTIRE MATCH... AFTER ALL
THAT, LAWRENCE
(CLOSEUP:
A group of fans in the crowd all holding up signs that spell out
"S-T-A-N-L-E-Y." FADE TO BLACK.) |
