PRIMETIME in Orlando: Hornet's Return July 7, 1997 BB: Fans, these two men have had a short, but storied, past. MJ Dean took issue with GUNS after the infamous GUNS/Hornet Career Match at FISH FUND XI. After getting a win sullied by interference over GUNS, Dean has had little luck against the big man since, at least not in regular matches. After that original win, GUNS took it to MJ Dean in his own hometown of Chapel Hill, beating him senseless and sending Dean into the third row. ------------------------------------------------------------ (cutto: CSWA PRIMETIME in Chapel Hill, MJ Dean vs. GUNS) BB: Dean just got tossed halfway across the ring by those massive arms on GUNS, but he's up. He comes across with a flying body press, and hits!!!! He's got the cover! ONE.............TWO..........NO!! Again, GUNS throws him off like a rag doll....but Dean is up again!!! And again, Dean comes across, this time with a crossbody!!! But GUNS catches him!!! GUNS has the big man in his arms, and he powers Dean down on that bionic knee for a modified backbreaker! GUNS hooks the leg! ONE..........TWO......... THREE!!! Ben Worthington counts to three, and GUNS has got the win as both these men head into the CSWA World Championship Tournament. ------------------------------------------------------------ BB: That match cost MJ Dean a spot in the CSWA World Championship Tournament, and allowed GUNS a first round bye....in a tournament that GUNS went on to win. But Dean would take his revenge, this time in New Orleans. Let's take you back. ------------------------------------------------------------ (cutto: CSWA PRIMETIME in New Orleans, Bonecrusher vs. GUNS) BILL BUCKLEY: GUNS is on the second rope, he could be setting up for a superplex or something. (crowd cheers) Wait a second, here comes...MJ DEAN! And he's got a metal rod with him!! GUNS doesn't see him, RED! OHHHH!! MJ just clocked GUNS with the metal rod!! MJ is all over GUNS, hitting him again and again! RED MIDGET: oh geez... BILL BUCKLEY: Finally, GUNS manages to roll out of the ring.. he's not sticking around to take anymore! Rudy Seizter is the ring, with MJ who has this sell out crowd on it's feet!! RUDY SEIZTER: MJ, What's this all about?! MJ DEAN: It's about GUNS...it's about how sick and tired I am of watching him do what he does week after week! GUNs, you may have ran HORNET out of the CSWA, but now you freak, I'm returning the favor! I'm gonna run you right out of here! ------------------------------------------------------------ BB: And tonight, Dean gets one last chance to do it, by taking the CSWA World Title off from around GUNS' waist. CM: That was a really good segment, did you put that together yourself? BB: Yeah. CM: Remind me to give you a raise. BB: Um, thanks. BB: Fans, referee Patrick Young and both competitors are in the ring, and we've got the bell to start things off. This one is for the big prize. GUNS and MJ lock up, with GUNS using the obvious strength advantage to send MJ Dean to the mat with a headlock, and following with a knee to the side. CM: Dean has *got* to stay away from those "Strongest Arms In The World" if he expects to have a chance. BB: What insightful commentary from my new co-host. CM: That was sarcasm, wasn't it? BB: You bet. CM: You know that raise? Forget it. BB: GUNS pulls Dean to his feet and sends him into the ropes. It's the GUNS-shot!!! The modified Polish hammer drops Dean like a ton of bricks, and GUNS scoops up the young gun and puts him DOWN hard with the sidewalk slam. GUNS with the early cover.......ONE........TWO.............. NO! MJ Dean kicks out! GUNS takes this one calmly, pulling Dean back to his feet....GUNS backs up and comes off the ropes and nails the wobbly Dean with a BULLDOG! GUNS rolls off Dean, choosing not to go for the cover. Instead, GUNS is going up TOP!!!! MJ Dean is down on one knee, but is slowly getting to his feet. CM: And that's just what GUNS wants right now. BB: Dean gets to his feet, and here comes GUNS. TOP ROPE SHOULDERBLOCK! He caught Dean full-on with that one, Dean hit the mat and literally did a full back roll from the force. GUNS pulls Dean into the center of the ring and hooks the leg. ONE.............TWO......................... NOOOOO!!!! MJ Dean kicks out somehow!!! CM: The kid's a fighter, ya gotta give him that. BB: GUNS looks a little frustrated, but he's still got things under control. CM: Amazing for a man whose wife and daughter have been stolen by another man. BB: I wouldn't say that too loudly. GUNS stands over Dean, and now he hooks in the SCORPION DEATHLOCK!!! That's Dean's own finisher!! Both these men were taught the Scorpion by Hornet himself! Dean quickly struggles to get to the ropes, but he's too far away. Young asks the youngster if he wants to give but Dean keeps struggling for the ropes, slowly moving inches closer to the ropes. He gets a fingertip around the bottom rope, and Young calls for the break from GUNS. CM: Young better be careful, GUNS is beginning to look less and less in control as this match progresses. BB: GUNS breaks the hold, and once again pulls Dean to his feet. He sends Dean into the turnbuckle with bone-crushing force. GUNS follows Dean in and sits MJ on the top turnbuckle. It looks like we're going to see the superplex. Forget the third row, Dean might just get driven THROUGH the mat with this one. GUNS climbs to the top and pulls Dean up to his feet on the ropes. MJ Dean is trying to block the move. He catches GUNS in the gut with a rabbit punch, loosening the hold. MJ breaks free..... TOP ROPE DROPKICK!!!!! MJ DEAN JUST BLOCKED THE SUPERPLEX, AND DROPKICKED GUNS OFF THE TOP! Dean comes off the top with a top rope jump-splash cover to win!!!!!!!!!!!! ONE.....................TWO................................. BB: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! GUNS kicks out!!!!! He just threw MJ Dean halfway across the ring when breaking up that cover! GUNS is on his feet, he scoops up Dean onto his shoulder. POWERBOMB!!!!! One final cover from GUNS to end it. ONE..................TWO........................ NO!!!! Somehow, SOMEHOW, MJ Dean kicked out of the cover. And GUNS can't believe it. He's furious! CM: Game....set....match...GUNS. BB: GUNS grabs hold of Dean by the hair and pulls him to his feet. BIONIC KNEELIFT!!!!! GUNS NAILED IT, and THIS....ONE.......IS.......TWO.......THREE......OVER!!!!! The Strongest Arms In The World RETAINS his CSWA World Heavyweight Championship over a youngster with a lot of heart. But GUNS doesn't look like he's done. He restrained the anger long enough. (to Merritt) Aren't you going to do something? CM: You think I'm gonna step in there with a man that's got nothing to lose? Not a chance. Every man that steps in the ring with GUNS knows what could happen. BB: GUNS pulls MJ Dean up, bench presses him, and MJ Dean takes the longest flight in our sport....TO THE THIRD ROW!!! GUNS isn't just interested in beating this young man, he wants to hurt him. CM: He already has, Bill. GUNS has nothing to prove anymore against Dean. BB: Nevertheless. Wait a second, Dean is slowly, very slowly but just as surely, getting to his feet. And it looks like GUNS is going out to teach him a lesson. This crowd is going WILD!!!! Wait, they're not even looking at Dean or GUNS.....what is going on here? WHAT IS HE DOING HERE!!!!???? Marvin, get a shot!!!! (The camera begins panning throughout the crowd and finally focuses on the source of the commotion) BB: IT'S HORNET!!! HORNET IS IN THE BUILDING, AND HE'S COMING DOWN THROUGH THE CROWD, JUST LIKE HE LEFT AT FISH FUND XI! This crowd can't believe it, and neither can I! Merritt, what is going on here!? CM: (yelling over the crowd noise) Buckley, sometimes you've got to pay the piper.....but you've ALWAYS got to pay your lawyer. And the price for an ironclad secret leveraged legal buyout is a hefty one. BB: Fans, we're going to try to get a word! (He continues to talk but is drowned out by the crowd noise) We'll see you in San Antonio!!!
