FISH FUND X: Mine Eyes Have Seen The Glory 7/4/95 (Scene: fade in to Mark Windham's house in Sweetwater, TX.) Jewels: Mark, are you sure you want to do this? Mark: Do what? Jewels: Face a "mystery man" of Mickey's choice! Mark: I've faced tougher odds. It's my job, Jewels. Just another day at the office. Jewels: You know that's not true. This is revenge, plain and simple, so admit it. Mark: So what if it is? Mickey Benedict has been a thorn in my side for years. And now that I put him out of wrestling, he's decided to get at me another way. After tonight, I'll prove that he has no right to my nickname or to be involved in the sport of wrestling. Jewels: Just be careful. Mark: I always am. Where's Timmy? Jewels: He headed to the arena to talk with P., I mean, Junior Hornet. Mark: So the doctor has said he's out of danger? Jewels: He was headed to the doctor for his last visit before he went to the arena. The doctor has said that he's clear to start training again. Mark: That's good news. Maybe I won'e have to tag with Junior Hornet much longer. Jewels: We can hope. Be careful tonight, Mark. Thelma and I will meet you back in your private dressing room. Mark: I'll see you there. (murmuring to himself) Windham with a vengeance... Jewels: I knew I shouldn't have let you see that movie. Mark: I'm gonna go sit with Thelma for a few minutes before I leave. Jewels: She's asleep. Mark: I know, I won't wake her. -------------------------------------------------- (Scene: backstage at the FISH FUND PARK Arena) Timmy: So, Junior, what you want me to see? Junior Hornet: I want you to meet some of my new friends. Timmy: Ok, me game. JH: They're in here. Guys, I want you to meet Timmy. (Four midgets in strange spandex costumes wave hello) Timmy: Midgets? Midget #1: Actually, they call us the Mighty Morphin Midgets. Timmy: Why? Midget #2: Well, because...you tell him. Midget #3: Well, there's really no reason, it's basically for promotional reasons, marketing, you know. ---------------------------------------------------------- (Meanwhile, upstairs in the Arena Boardroom) Steve Day: So, these documents show that Katz was embezzling funds. I only went along with his schemes so that I could expose him. Gethard: Sure, Day, sure you did. Merritt: Alright. Steve, thanks for the info. Gregg, could you and Steve go do the final checklist for the card? Gethard: Sure, Enforcer, no problem. (Day and Gethard leave) Thomas: Finally. I thought they'd never stop babbling. So, have you received any new info from the Cruise Liner? Merritt: Oh, I've got more than news. Thomas: So, you mean... Merritt: That's right, and no one ever found out the real reason for using the Liner on the tour. Thomas: Where was he? Merritt: On a remote island in the Florida Keys. When we found him, he was still unconscious. Thomas: They drugged him, huh? Merritt: Apparently. I knew McMahon was desperate, but I never thought he'd kidnap one of our VPs. Thomas; Well, he's not just any VP. Merritt: True. I've got 24-hour security on him until we get some reports back. (pauses) Here comes the elevator. CM: Here's Poppy. (The elevator comes to a stop. A young man dressed in a suit steps out) ST: Welcome back Schroeder. Steve Schroeder: Good to see you both. I didn't tell them anything you know. CM: We know. If you had, you wouldn't be here right now. SS: True. I guess I better go and check on the popcorn. I'm sure sales have been down. Day doesn't have the touch. By your leave, Godfathers. (Merritt and Thomas entend their hands. Schroeder kneels, kisses the ring, and leaves.) ---------------------------------------------------------- (Meanwhile, at the Windham's guest house) Hornet: The spaghetti's ready, hon. Peaches: Okay, I just stepped out of the shower. I'll be there in a minute. I'm so glad Mark and Jewels are letting us stay here. Hornet: You know they wouldn't allow us to stay in a hotel while we're here. Peaches: You're gonna be alright tonight aren't you? Hornet: (grinning) You should worry about the other guys rather than me. I'll be just fine. Peaches: You're incorrigible. (entering the room) I know you'll be fine. Oh, honey, look out the window, it's the first star. Star light, Star bright, First star I see tonight. I wish I may, I wish I might, Have the wish I wish tonight. Hornet: What did you wish for? Peaches: I can't tell or it won't come true. Hornet: It'll come true. As long as I'm around I'll make sure it does, whatever it is. Peaches: You're so.... Hornet: (grinning) I'm so what? Peaches: Shhhh. Listen to the radio! Hornet: What is it? Peaches: The song, listen. (singing) When you wish upon a star... Makes no difference who you are.... ---------------------------------------------------------- Mark Windham: (holding sleeping daughter Thelma) Anything your heart desires Can come to you... ---------------------------------------------------------- Steve Day (sweeping the stage): When you wish upon a star... Gregg Gethard: Shut up and keep sweeping Day! ---------------------------------------------------------- (Back in the dressing rooms, the radio is on) Junior Hornet (who is surrounded by the four midgets): Even midgets can have their fondest Wish come true!!! ---------------------------------------------------------- Meanwhile, on a street a few blocks away from FISH FUND PARK and the Arena, a manhole opens a strange man climbs out from the sewers. In one hand he clutches a small dark object, while in the other he holds an unidentifiable object. But what is identifiable is that he's making his way towards the arena! Man: I'm coming. Do you hear me CSWA, I'm COMING FOR YOU ALL!!!!!! (fadeout) -------------------------------------------- (voiceover on blank screen) Rhubarb Jones: For over seven years, the CSWA has provided great wrestling entertainment to people throughout the world. Tonight, the tradition continues! Also tonight, the WORLD LEAGUE makes it PPV debut. For all these years, the CSWA has proved that it is the King of the Mountain in the wrestling world. Tonight, you'll get to see it with your own eyes, one more time. FISH FUND X: Mine Eyes Have Seen The Glory BB: This is Bill Buckley, here along with Sammy Benson! We are in the FISH FUND PARK Arena along with 100,000 screaming fans who are here to see this wrestling spectacular! Hello Sweetwater! (Fans cheer) SB: Stop playing to the crowd, Buckley. Hey, where's Teri? BB: She's not commentating tonight, Sammy, she's got wrestlers to manage. If you hadn't had your 'heart attack' before Detroit you would have been able to sit by her. SB: Hey it wasn't a heart attack! BB: Yeah, it was just gas. Fans, after this special announcement from CS Enterprises, we'll be back to start off the card!!!! ---------------------------------------------------------- BB: Hello wrestling fans! We're back here and ready to start out FISH FUND X!!! Here's the lineup for the card! Starman returns to the ring in his CSWA re-debut vs. Ricky Worthington. Bishop Hell will take on former Greensboro Champion Devil's Masked Warrior. The Tex/Mex Combo tries to stay undefeated against a "Secret Team." "The Madman" John Nace takes on "Lover Boy Jean Claude. Tyler Woods tries to continue his rise up the CSWA ladder taking on Kamikaze. The Japanese Nightmares take on the Sexy Boys. Alex and Bubba, the Roiter Brothers, take on Southern Twist in a two out of three falls encounter. The Eliminator returns to the ring against former CSWA World Champion Degadeth. Also, the CSWA will hold another WINNING STREAK to determine its new Intracontinental Champion! The ten competitors for the IC Title will be announced just before the beginning of the WINNING STREAK. Two teams will compete to determine the top contenders to the United States Tag Team Titles. Former Unified Tag Team Champion Joey Melton and Peyton Wright, ARROGANCE, take on former US Champ HEAT and his mystery partner! The Ultimate Defender and Eric Jackson will renew their feud in the rematch for the Greensboro Heavyweight Championship! Another feud busts wide open when HEAT and Bonecrusher meet in the rematch for the United States/National Championship in a no-disqualification matchup! Unified Tag Champions the Berzerk Beachcombers get one of their toughest challenges yet when they take on the team of Mark Windham and Junior Hornet, known as CRAZY LIKE A WINDHAM! In addition, we'll have info from CSWA officials about the upcoming Boozer Tournament, plus sixteen other matches! Those sixteen other matches will begin when Mark Windham takes on a mystery opponent! That opponent will be chosen by the man currently known as "The Living Legend," Mickey Benedict. It could be any man in the CSWA! The nickname is on the line! And in the MAIN EVENT, we've got FIFTEEN matches!!! Six men will compete to earn the Unified World Championship! They include current Unified Champion TSUNAMI, current EN World Champion GUNS, current CSWA Presidential Champion ALEXANDR KARELIN, former two-time Unified Champ HORNET, former CSWA Presidential Champion SCOTT WATERS, and former National Champ STEVEN FLAIR! Those six men will wrestle each other in a round-robin tournament known as the second-ever IRONMAN OF CHAMPIONS! So there it is fans! Forty matches coming up starting after this special announcement! SB: Another one!? ------------------------------------------------------------- SB: So, when Teri was here, did you find out, you know, if they're... BB: Um, Sammy, we're back on the air. SB: So! The whole world wants to know! BB: Fans, it seems like in the past few weeks we've seen the return of some former CSWA wrestlers. Tonight, we'll see a few of those in action, starting with one of the men in this next match. Also, just to correct a mistake I made earlier, it will be Mike and Bubba Roiter in tag competition tonight against Southern Twist, not Alex Roiter. SB: Stupid Buckley, can't ever get anything right. BB: I have a feeling you're gonna get slapped tonight. If not by me, then by someone else. SB: That's assault right there, Buckley! I could have you arrested. I'm in fine form tonight, aren't I? BB: If I go to jail for assaulting you, you better believe I'm gonna get my shots in. SB: What's wrong with you tonight? BB: Well, you have to understand, the last card I commentated was with Teri Melton, and now, well...you're back. SB: I understand that perfectly, believe me. BB: Already in the ring is a CSWA veteran who continues to struggle on getting marks in the W-column. This is RICKY WORTHINGTON! SB: Is it just a CSWA tradition or something that every card must start out with Worthington, Paige, or Brigsby getting destroyed in the ring? BB: Why yes it is, Sammy. His opponent is returning to the ring after an extended absence from the CSWA. This is STARMAN! SB: Who? BB: Starman. SB: Again, I ask. Who? BB: You know, the guy who came in with Polaris. SB: Still not ringing any bells. BB: Polaris, the former UWL Superleague Champ... SB: Oh, yeah, that kid. But still, who is this guy? BB: I give up. Take my word for it, he's been here before. SB: Whatever. BB: There's the bell. The two men lock up, but Worthington is totally outmatches in strength here. Starman wins the test of strength, delivers a boot to the midsection, and then sends Ricky down hard with a DDT! Starman comes off the ropes, and drops down on Worthington with a huge leg drop! He hooks the leg! ONE.....no, Ricky kicks out. Starman pulls him to his feet and sends him into the ropes. Big flying dropkick by Starman! And now he heads to the top rope! Ricky gets to his feet, and there comes Starman off the top with a sunset flip! BB: Worthington falls to the sunset flip. Starman's got him hooked on the mat. ONE........TWO........THREE. Starman gets the quick and easy victory over Ricky Worthington. SB: Well, isn't that a surprise. I think even I could take a quick and easy victory over Worthington. BB: I'd pay to see that one. I think Worthington wouldn't mind getting his hands on you, like a lot of wrestlers in this league. SB: Getting his hands on me? What has he told you? That's sick! BB: Ok, that's enough. Well, Starman returns to the CSWA with the easy victory. Next in the ring, we have another man who has been in the CSWA before, against a CSWA newcomer. But first, we're going to head down to the interview area where Stan Parsons is with one of the men who will be competing in tonight's IRONMAN OF CHAMPIONS. SP: Thanks, Bill. My guest tonight enters the IRONMAN with his belt on the line. Here is the Unified World Heavyweight Champion, TSUNAMI, along with his manager and interpreter, Jimmy V!!!! Tsunami, many men, five in particular, are expecting you to lose that title tonight. JV: Then they're going to be sorely disappointed. Because Tsunami is going in the champ, and he will come out the champ, having defeated all five top contenders for the belt. He's been looking forward to this opportunity ever since it was announced. SP: There are five great challengers in tonight's Main Event. I guess that's why they call it the IRONMAN of CHAMPIONS. You've got GUNS, the EN World Champ, Karelin, the man who defeated Tsunami for the Presidential. Scott Waters, the man who put Tom Adler out of the CSWA. Then you've got two men who competed in the original IRONMAN of CHAMPIONS to determine the first Unified Champion: one is Steven Flair, the other is the man who won that tournament, Hornet, a man who defeated Tsunami handily in the past. How many wins can we expect to see from Tsunami? JV: I wouldn't be surprised to see him take all five, if not four matches at the least. He can beat Waters, he can beat Flair, and he can beat GUNS. And he's come quite a long way since his losses to Karelin and Hornet. Plus, he's also the only man in the competition who has recently wrestled this many matches on one card. SP: Well, I think we both agree that if Tsunami wins this Ironman, he will no doubt deserve the respect you both have been saying he should have. JV: Stan, he's the Unified Champion. He should be given respect. I don't care who thinks he hasn't earned it; the simple fact is, he's the champ. SP: And we'll see if he can retain the title later tonight. Thank you Tsunami and Jimmy. Back to you Bill. BB: Thanks, Stan. We'll be back with Devil's Masked Warrior and Bishop Hell in the ring! -------------------------------------------------------- BB: Bishop Hell and Devil's Masked Warrior are both already in the ring. This match pits a former Greensboro Champ against a former champ in other leagues. There's the bell, and this one gets off quickly, with Bishop Hell charging DMW with a football tackle. But DMW takes the hit and pushes Bishop Hell off his feet. Bishop isn't going to be able to match up power on power with DMW. Devil's Masked Warrior is just too darn big and strong. Bishop Hell better find some other routes to go, or he's finished early. DMW catches Bishop Hell with a clothesline, and then follows up quickly with a leg drop. Bishop Hell gets to his feet quickly, and now he delivers some hard rights to DMW's midsection. But the former G'boro Champ simply shrugs them off and whips Bishop Hell into the ropes. There's a big flying forearm by the big man! Bishop Hell goes down hard, and DMW hooks in a headlock. Hold on, the Bishop just BIT Devil's Masked Warrior! Now it's Bishop Hell's turn to take over, as he sends DMW to the mat with a tackle and now he hooks in a boston crab! SB: Hey, I like that guy's style! BB: You would. SB: Who is he anyway? BB: He's a member of the Doom Team. SB: You mean the Rosenthal Family. They changed their name. BB: Why did you ask if you already knew? SB: Just to annoy you. BB: DMW powers out of the boston crab, but Bishop Hell hooks in a weaverlock as DMW climbs to his feet. SB: Hey, that's a choke! I like it! BB: Bishop Hell has the sleeper cinched in, but as DMW climbs to his feet, the Bishop is unable to keep it hooked in. He holds on the DMW's head and neck, but the 7+ foot tall man lifts him off his feet as he stands. And now DMW drops to his knees and sends Bishop Hell sprawling. DMW quickly follows, coming off the ropes and catching Hell with another forearm. He goes for the quick cover! ONE.... no, Bishop Hell kicks out. Instead, DMW sends Bishop Hell back into the ropes. But Hell dodges DMW's clothesline, and then tries to send DMW down with his own. The two men collide, but neither one falls. They each head to the ropes and collide again. This time Bishop Hell goes sprawling. Once again, he tried to overpower DMW, and that was a mistake. DMW scoops him up, and now he's got the backbreaker hooked in! This could be all she wrote! Ref Ben Worthington asks for the submission, but Bishop Hell won't give in. DMW cinches in the backbreaker even tighter, but all Bishop does is scream no even louder. Finally, DMW drops Bishop Hell the seven feet to the mat and hooks both legs. ONE......TWO......THREE! Devil's Masked Warrior continues his unbeaten streak since his return by simply overpowering Bishop Hell. BB: We just got the final attendance numbers for the crowd here at FISH FUND PARK ARENA, and we've got standing room only with 120,122 screaming fans! SB: Peons... BB: Hortense and the LOVE SISTERS, the o-fish-al band for FISH FUND X are finishing up one of their numbers for the crowd before our next match. SB: I can't believe they're still around. Come on, it's a group of fat women dressed in polkadotted dresses who couldn't make decent music if they tried. BB: I wouldn't let Hortense hear you say that, Sammy. SB: You're probably right. She might sit on me. BB: Hey, she's done it to others, including your buddy Ray S. Cornette. SB: (shuddering) Yeah, I remember. BB: Now making their way to the ring are the two competitors for the next match. These two men are as different as they come. The only thing they have in common is that they are CSWA rookies. Tyler Woods is "American Made." In his short wrestling career he has been a two-time AGWA World Champion, and is undefeated so far in the CSWA. Woods relies on his strength and power to win his matches. Kamikaze on the other hand is from Tokyo, Japan. He's a small man, standing at 6'1, 225, who relies on his aerial ability and speed to win matches. He has not been as successful as Woods in his young career, although he's shown great promise. The fans like both these men. We'll have to see who comes out on top. There's the bell starting this match. The two lock up in a test of strength, which is a definite disadvantage for Kamikaze. But it is Kamikaze who comes out on top, sending Woods flying with a monkey flip! Kamikaze follows up with a flying spinkick that levels Tyler Woods! Woods tries to get to his feet, but Kamikaze is ready for him, nailing him with a savat kick! Kamikaze pulls Woods to his feet and irish whips him into the ropes. There's a flying clothesline by Kamikaze! He's wrestling flawlessly so far. He hooks in flying head scissors, keeping Tyler on the mat. He lets up, and with one leap, Kamikaze is on the top rope! He measures Woods and comes off with a moonsault! He nailed it! There's the cover! ONE....no, Woods kicks out! But Kamikaze doesn't let up, he pulls Woods to his feet and levels him with another savat kick. Once again, Kamikaze goes to the top, and this time he comes off with a 360 degree flip from the top! The cover...ONE.....TWO, again Woods kicks out. Kamikaze pulls Woods to his feet and sends him into the ropes. Kamikaze goes for a flying clothesline, but Woods dives to the side! Kamikaze misses and goes through the second rope! He hits hard on the apron and falls outside! Woods follows and rolls Kamikaze back in. And now Woods has control of this match. He butterfly suplexes Kamikaze and covers. ONE, no Kamikaze kicks out. There's a short-arm clothesline by Woods, who follows with with an elbow smash to Kamikaze. ------------------------------------------------------- (Kamikaze/Woods continues...) BB: Woods hooks the leg. ONE......no, again Kamikaze kicks out. Kamikaze has to regain control of this match somehow, or it's over for the young man. There's an atomic drop by Woods who follows with a HUGE belly to belly suplex! Woods hooks the leg and goes for the cover. ONE.......TWO.......THREE! Tyler Woods continues his streak here in the CSWA! But what an impressive match by Kamikaze until that one mistake. SB: Hey, dumb mistakes lose matches. BB: Well, I think we can also chalk it up to a good move by Woods. Up next, the Rosenthal Family will try and get its second win, when its newest member "Lover Boy" Jean Claude takes on "Mad Man" John Nace. These two have been jawing at each other for weeks, and tonight they finally take it into the ring. SB: Yeah, but Jean Claude has the entire Rosenthal Family behind him now. John Nace may have to watch his back. BB: We'll return with that match and an interview from the EN World Heavyweight Champion! --------------------------------------------------------- BB: We are back and ready for the next match here at FISH FUND X: Mine Eyes Have Seen The Glory.... here in Sweetwater, TX at FISH FUND PARK ARENA! SB: That was quite a long break. I think we need to tell CS Enterprises to shorten those commercials a little! BB: You're probably right. In this next match we'll see the newest member of the Rosenthal Family! SB: Looks like "Lover Boy" Jean Claude came to his senses and realized he needs some people watching his back here in the CSWA. BB: We'll see if that extra support gets him a win tonight. Jean Claude and his opponent have been jawing back and forth at each other recently. Now it's time to see who can back it up! Lover Boy's opponent is now on his way to the ring, here is "THE MAD MAN" JOHN NACE!!! Nace hits the ring, and Matt Rosenthal dives through the ropes as Nace takes Lover Boy down with a forearm. Nace definitely has the strength advantage at 6'9", 317 pounds. Nace follows with a quick body slam, but Jean Claude quickly rolls out of the ring to confer with his new manager, Matt Rosenthal. They exchange a few words, Jean Claude nods and rolls back in the ring. He catches Nace quickly with a shoulderblock and then follows with a few right hands. Nace doesn't fall, but he does take a few steps back. That gives Jean Claude a chance to follow through with a clothesline! He whips Nace into the ropes and then catches the big man with the weaverlock!!!! SB: It's a choke! Good move! BB: The Weaverlock, a modified sleeper, seems to be Jean Claude's weapon of choice in this one so far. But Nace drops to his knees and sends Lover Boy flying. Nace shakes out the cobwebs then scoops up Jean Claude and power slams him hard to the mat. Nace follows with a piledriver!!! He goes for the cover! ONE....no, Jean Claude kicks out! Claude is up and charges Nace, but gets caught with body slam! Lover Boy quickly rolls out of the ring, and he is once again in conference with manager Matt Rosenthal. Again he rolls back in, and once again he comes out on top, this time with a leg sweep followed by a football tackle! Lover Boy follows quickly with his own version of the Parsons leglock, named for one of the most famous CSWA wrestling families! John Nace grabs for the ropes, but he can't quite reach them. He scoots closer to the ropes, but as he grabs them, Rosenthal slaps his hands away. Ref Ben Worthington cautions Rosenthal and forces Jean Claude to break the hold. Nace is on his feet, and he quickly hooks in the abdominal stretch on Jean Claude! The Lover Boy can't reach the ropes, and The Mad Man has the ad stretch hooked in tight. He lets up on the ad stretch and catches Lover Boy with a big oklahoma stampede!!! Once again Jean Claude rolls out to talk with Rosenthal, but this time Nace follows him out! Nace catches Lover Boy with a knee to the back and sends him hard into Rosenthal! Now Nace continues his assault outside the ring, sending Lover Boy HARD into the iron post! But here comes Rosenthal! He catches Nace with an Italian loafer to the head! Nace turns around to face Rosenthal, but Lover Boy sends a huge knee to Nace's head! Nace pushes Rosenthal out of the way and grabs a chair from ringside! He catches Lover Boy on the side with that chair! He swings again, but Lover Boy grabs the chair and fights with him for it! Rosenthal from behind with another chair on Nace!!! There's the bell! This one will be a double count-out. But Rosenthal and Jean Claude are doing a number on Nace! Nace grabs Rosenthal's chair and rips it out of his hands, and now Nace and Lover Boy square off again! But now here come CSWA officials to break it up! BB: That was a wild one! It took quite a while to break Nace and Jean Claude up. I'm sure we'll be seeing these two in the ring against each other in the near future, because nothing was settled here. Up next, CSWA Vice-President Steve Day has a special announcement about the WINNING STREAK. Let's go down to ringside for that. SD: Thank you, Bill. I'm here to announce the participants for the upcoming WINNING STREAK. The Winning Streak involves twelve-men in a rather unorthodox tournament. The man who is able to run this Streak will become the new Intracontinental Champion. Here are the scheduled participants for the WINNING STREAK that will take place before the CSWA's next PPV: DISNEY DAYS. The still undefeated "Hammer" Jim Dwyer, the Great Buddah, "Wild One" Mike Day, "America" Avery Lincoln, "Hot" Johnny Tropic, Brainbuster, Cyborgus, "Mad Man" John Nace, "Lover Boy" Jean Claude, the Chosen One, and the former Greensboro Champion Eric Jackson! Just before the WINNING STREAK begins, one man will be chosen to start as the runner. That man is at a disadvantage, because in order to win the IC Title, he would need to win eleven matches in a row. Only one man has done that, and he is former National Champ Steven Flair. Should the original runner lose a match, the winner of that match would take over the runner's position and try and complete the Streak. The competitor who wrestles in the twelfth position has the obvious advantage, he has to beat the wear runner in the last match. The positions will be determined by the ranking of each competitor. The higher ranked a contestant is, the more likely he is to wrestle in a later match. So, there you have it. We'll be announcing the exact date of the WINNING STREAK after tonight's events, so look for it soon. Thank you and enjoy the rest of FISH FUND X! BB: There you have it, fans. One of those twelve men will become the next Intracontinental Champion, becoming the first IC Champion since the belt's retirement last year. We'll be back with more FISH FUND action. SB: I sure hope this break isn't as long as the last ones! --------------------------------------------------------- BB: And the action continues here at FISH FUND X: Mine Eyes Have Seen the Glory! SB: I think it should be called FISH FUND X: The Longest Day! I heard Mike Ventolo talking about that backstage. BB: Well, he's right. I think FISH FUND X sets the record for the most scheduled matches at one card here in the CSWA. SB: I wouldn't be so sure about that. Some of those Anniversary cards had as many matches. BB: Yeah, but they were scheduled over days. Anyway, up next we've got the Tex/Mex Combo up against the "Secret Team" of the Rosenthal Family. The Tex/Mex Combo is so far undefeated in the CSWA, but they, along with us, have no idea who this "Secret Team" is. But before that match, let's head down to the ring where Stan Parsons is with the reigning EN World Champion. SP: Thanks, Bill. GUNS is also one of the six men who will competing in tonight's IRONMAN OF CHAMPIONS. GUNS: And I'll be the man who wins it. SP: How can you be... GUNS: Shut up, Parsons. I can be so sure because I've seen the competition. Tsunami got a lucky win over a silent champion to become the Unified Champ. I've never got a shot at the belt or it would already be around my waist. I've destroyed Hornet outside and inside the ring. That bug knows who's boss between us. Steven Flair is nothing more than an arrogant has-been, and Scott Waters is nothing more than "Perfect Poultry." And then there's the Presidential Champ, Alexandr Karelin, who needs to stick with the Olympics. This is professional wrestling, not the amateurs. SP: What about your knee injury... GUNS: I thought I told you to shut up?! Yeah, my knee's been injured. First at the hands of that punk Mike Randalls, and then more recently during the AAWC's Wrestlefest. But it doesn't matter, Parsons, it's not gonna stop me from becoming the Unified Champion. Hornet cheated me out of becoming the AAWC Universal Champ, but NO ONE is going to stop me from taking the Unified Title. It belongs around my waist and everyone in the CSWA, and every other league represented by the Unified title knows it! I'm am the TRUE CHAMPION in this league, and anybody who disputes that is going to find out the truth tonight! SP: Back to you, Bill. BB: Well, there you have it, fans. Tough words from a tough man. Up next, the Rosenthal Family's MYSTERY TEAM and the TEX/MEX COMBO. ------------------------------------------------------ BB: The Tex/Mex Combo is in the ring, and now we're waiting on the "Secret Team" of the Rosenthal Family. Let's head down to Rhubarb with the introductions. RJ: And their opponents, accompanied to the ring by their manager, Matt Rosenthal, first, standing at six feet, three inches and a whopping 391 pounds, this is MR BIG!!! And his partner, at 339 pounds and standing at seven feet, five inches, here is the SUPER PUNISHER! Together, they are BIG PUNISHMENT!!!! BB: What an enormous team, and an enormous find by Matt Rosenthal! SB: Those guys definitely look like they could do some damage! BB: They hit the ring, and this match is underway! The Super Punisher starts it out for Big Punishment, taking on Tex. Super Punisher catches Tex in the air as he tries for a flying body press and sends him down hard to the mat! He follows up with another huge power slam and then hooks in a big bear hug! In the meantime, two other men have made their way down to ringside. I have no idea who they are, but they're in the corner with Rosenthal. SB: If you did your homework, you'd know that those ar Dr. Coge and Suzuki, the medical and training team for the Rosenthal Family. BB: Hey, you CAN actually be helpful. In the ring, the Super Punisher tags in Mr. Big as he lets Tex out of the bear hug. Tex tries to crawl to his corner, but the big man gives him no chance, and then scoops him up and sends him down hard with a big power slam! Now Mr. Big is setting him up for the powerbomb!!!! Tex's partner rushes in, but the Super Punisher is already there, and he sends Chico through the second ropes and down to the floor hard with a football tackle. Meanwhile, the Super Punisher has Tex up! And there's the powerbomb!!! But he doesn't cover him! They're setting him up for a double team move. Come on ref, you've gotta stop this match! The Super Punisher sets Tex up on his shoulder, over seven feet in the air! He powerbombs Tex to the mat, and here comes all almost 400 pounds of Mr. Big from the top rope! TOP ROPE SPLASH! Tex is having convulsions! ONE.......TWO........THREE!!!! Mr. Big gets off Tex, but Tex is still shaking violently. SB: Sort of reminds you of Mickey Benedict after he got thrown into that electrified steel cage, huh? BB: Exactly. And we'll see Mickey Benedict in the ring for the first time since that incident. Of course, he won't be wrestling, but he will be choosing a CSWA wrestler to put up against Mark Windham! Up next in the ring, the Eliminator continues his upward climb here in the CSWA! ----------------------------------------------------------- BB: This next match has some great importance for the Eliminator. If he wins this one, he is almost certainly the top contender for either the Presidential or Greensboro Championships. He's facing a former CSWA World Champion, as well as three-time Presidential Champ, who has been fading fast lately. So, already in the ring, it is time for the ELIMINATOR vs. DEGADETH! The bell sounds, and the two men grapple in the center. They are both about the same size, so neither has a clear advantage in the strength or power category, but it is the Eliminator who takes control first, sending Degadeth down with a belly to belly suplex. Degadeth tries to gain control, but again it is the Eliminator who takes over, sending Degadeth into the ropes and then down hard with a back bodydrop. Eli quickly continues, capitalizing on his assault with a big gutwrench suplex!!!! Degadeth rolls out of the ring, but Eli follows. Degadeth catches Eli with a karate kick, but Eli quickly sends him back into the ring after an armbar. Back in the ring, it is all Eli! He sends Degadeth down with a belly to back suplex, and then hits the "Angel of Death" with a big neckbreaker! There's the cover! ONE.......... no, Degadeth kicks out! But the former PYBA US Champ continues to rule the match, especially after a huge jacknife! ONE.....again, Degadeth kicks out! Both men are on their feet, and they both come off the ropes. Eli dodges the clothesline, but gets caught and slammed after attempting a flying body press. Degadeth gets no count as Eli kicks out and sends Degadeth into the ropes. Degadeth gets his with a flying dropkick that doesn't drop him, but sends him staggering backwards towards the corner, where he crashes into referee William Dibble! Degadeth rushes out of the corner, but Eli is ready for him, and sends him down hard with a football tackle. Eli covers, but nobody's there to count! One....Two....Three...Four...Five....Six, finally Degadeth kicks out. Eli pulls him to his feet and sneds him down with the perfectplex! Again, the ref still is down in the corner. Eli moves over to help wake the ref, who is moving slightly, but Degadeth makes it to his feet! SB: Holy cow, we might actually see some action! BB: Sammy's right, some man is running down to ringside. Is that a fan, Sammy? In the ring, Eli sends Degadeth to the mat with a powerbomb! What a display of strength by the Eliminator! And now he's headed up top! He's gonna cover with a splash! SB: Hey, I know that guy. That's that guy from the World League. JOHNNY TROPIC! BB: You're right! He's got a chair, and he just sent the ELiminator packing with a chair to the head!!!! The Eliminator falls off the top rope!!!! Tropic enters the ring, rolls Degadeth on top of the downed Eliminator, rolls back out, and now he's waking the ref! The ref, still groggy, turns toward the pin in the middle of the ring, and he counts it! ONE.......TWO........THREE!!!!! The Eliminator is robbed of the win by Johnny Tropic! Is he even signed to wrestle here in the CSWA? SB: If he wasn't, I bet he is now, Bill! Degadeth doesn't even know what has happened, both men are still down. Tropic is headed for the lockers. BB: He may have bitten off more than he could chew, Sammy. The Eliminator is not a man to play games with. We may find out how much talent the kid has very soon! --------------------------------------------------------- BB: What an entry into the CSWA by Johnny Tropic. Not by a match or even by a contract, but by a quick sneak attack on a top contender. SB: Yeah, kinda warms your heart doesn't it. BB: Up now, the Rosenthal Family has its final match of the night. This young alliance has been impressive so far tonight, Sammy. SB: Indeed. A truly impressive win by the new tag team, Big Punishment, a great match by Lover Boy Jean Claude against John Nace. The only blemish was Bishop Hell's loss to Devil's Masked Warrior. BB: Well, now they'll try and go 2-1-1 for the night, as the other Rosenthal Family tag team takes on one of the fastest-rising tag teams in the CSWA. Both are looking to become top tag team contenders, and a win here would certainly help. First, at a combined weight of 510 pounds, here are Steven Miller and Larry Martin, the SEXY BOYS! Their opponents are accompanied to the ring by their manager Matt Rosenthal. They are the JAPANESE NIGHTMARES, the Great Buddah and the Shadow Dancer! SB: So when do the good matches start, Bill? BB: Don't start that again. It looks like Steven Miller is gonna start it out against the Shadow Dancer. Miller gets an arm trap hooked on SD, but Shadow Dancer quickly maneuvers out and catches Miller with a clothesline. Miller is stunned, and Shadow Dancer quickly follows up with a chicken wing. Miller is close to his corner however, and he tags in Larry Martin who sends a hard right hand to the ribs of the Shadow Dancer, and then follows with a knee drive to the same area, driving the wind out of SD. Martin follows quickly with a knife edge, dropping Shadow Dancer to the mat and then hooking in a chin pull combined with a leg trap. Shadow Dancer tries to power out, but he finds that grabbing the ropes is a much easier way to force the break. Martin sends Dancer over with a hip toss, but that was a mistake, Shadow Dancer is able to roll right over to his corner and tag in the Great Buddah. Buddah rushes Martin, but finds himself dropped with a knife edge, and then whipped into the corner turnbuckle. He dodges Martin, who crashes chest first into the buckle. Buddah rolls Martin up quickly! ONE......TWO.....no, Miller comes in to make the save! But the Great Buddah hooks in a double chicken wing on Martin, who now needs a quick tag. But he won't get it, because Buddah drags him toward the Japanese Nightmares corner and then hooks in a weaverlock!!! Martin is fading fast from the modified sleeper hold, I don't think he'll last much longer! The referee raises his hand once and it falls. There's the second time and it falls. If it falls this time, the match is over! Steven Miller rushes in to break the count but is countered by Shadow Dancer! The referee raises the hand.....and it falls! There's the bell. This one will be a win for the Japanese Nightmares and the Rosenthal Family!!! Up next, the Roiters and Southern Twist! ----------------------------------------------------------- BB: We're ready for the two out of three falls contest between the Roiter Brothers and Southern Twist! The Karate Kid and Too Tall Tom are already in the ring, and now we're waiting for the introduction of the Roiter Brothers. Well, Rhubarb Jones has announced the Roiter Brothers, but only Mike Roiter has stepped out from behind the curtain. He turns and looks behind him for his brother Bubba, but he's nowhere to be found! What's going on? SB: Who knows? Maybe Bubba came to his senses and realized that he's just a potato farmer from Montana and not a wrestler! BB: Someone has come to the curtain and said something to Mike Roiter, and now Mike rushes back behind the curtain. Let's go down quickly to Stan Parsons who is back there near the dressing rooms. SP: Bill, you won't believe what's gone on back here. From what I've been told, Bubba Roiter went back into the locker room just before his match to get a knee pad, and there he was attacked by "Hot" Johnny Tropic, the same rookie who attacked the Eliminator earlier tonight! I've been told that Tropic attacked Bubba with a two-by-four and then slammed him repeatedly into the lockers. Finally, he pushed the entire set of wall lockers over on Bubba Roiter! Hold on, Bill, it looks like they're taking Bubba away on a stretcher, and Mike is not far behind. And here comes Alex Roiter as well! BB: Thanks, Stan. Yet another attack by Tropic! Inside the ring, the ref has counted the Roiters out, and Southern Twist will get the count-out win. SB: You know, I'm really starting to like this kid! BB: Well he's certainly figured out a way to make a splash in the CSWA. But I can't help but think it could easily backfire on him! SB: Who knows! At least he saved us from another jobber match! BB: Up next, ARROGANCE and HEAT with his new partner! BB: This next tag match will determine the number one contenders to the United States Tag Team Titles! The US Tag belts are currently held by The Alliance, made up by former Unified singles Champs JT Tyler and Hornet. The Alliance has been out of action lately, since Tyler has been recovering from his injuries, but I've been told he'll be back in action soon. The Alliance will have their hands full against either one of these teams. Let's go to Rhubarb for the intros. RJ: These first two men are making their debut as a tag team here in the CSWA. Indeed, one of these men is making his debut in wrestling. First, from the City of Brotherly Love, here is former United States Champion HEAT! And his new partner after a long search, here is JOHNNY GUNN! And their opponents...one of these men is a former multi-time World and Unified Tag Champion. First, his partner, one of the hottest rookies to hit the CSWA, here is PEYTON WRIGHT! And his partner, the former CSWA World Champion, JOEY MELTON! Together, they are ARROGANCE! BB: All four men are in the ring, deciding who will compete first. We'll have our first time to see Johnny Gunn in action. He happens to be the cousin of a former CSWA wrestler, Eddie Gunn. SB: Um, that's the "Equalizer" Eddie Gunn. BB: You're right, forgive me. SB: Never. BB: It's going to be Johnny Gunn starting it out against Peyton Wright. They meet in the center, and it's Gunn overpowering Wright quickly with an arm bar. Wright maneuvers out, but Gunn hooks in a headlock. Wright pushes Gunn away and into the ropes and catches the rookie with a big forearm. Now he sends a few illegal right and left fists Gunn's way. Gunn fights back with a few attempted punches of his own, but they miss wide. Wright sends Gunn into the ropes again, and there's big clothesline! Wright follows up with a piledriver!!! Gunn is down early and he's nowhere near his partner. SB: And look at HEAT at the opposite corner, he does NOT look happy. BB: No indeed. Hold on, Wright is talking to Melton, and both men are laughing. They act like they're going to pin, and then run their hands through their hair instead! Wright hooks in the STF!!! HEAT rushes in to help his parnter, but Melton sends him through the second rope with a knee! The referee has called for the bell! This one is over! Johnny Gunn has submitted to the STF! ARROGANCE's hands are raised in victory and they leave Gunn lying in the center of the ring. Here comes HEAT back into the ring. He rushes to the center where Gunn is still lying, and now he starts pummelling Gunn! Gunn tries to fight back, but HEAT is all over him, shoving his head into the mat and slapping him back and forth. It looks as if this tag team has had it's first and last match together. SB: I guess HEAT'll be looking for a new tag team partner. What is this, his fifth, sixth? He goes through them like butter! BB: Thank you Linda from Coffee Talk. That means that ARROGANCE are now the top contenders for the US Tag Belts and we'll take on The Alliance in the near future! Coming up next, the WORLD LEAGUE'S first PPV match! ----------------------------------------------------------- BB: Well, Sammy, the CS Enterprises' other wrestling league, the WORLD LEAGUE, makes its Pay-Per-View debut here at FISH FUND X. The following match will determine the #1 seed in the upcoming World League International Heavyweight Championship Tournament. First, accompanied to the ring by The Mastermind, here is the current #1 ranked wrestler in the CSWL, "THE TERMINATOR" TODD MITCHELL! And his opponent is accompanied by manager Bill the Banker, he is ranked #2 in the WORLD LEAGUE, here is "THE GOLDEN BOY" PAUL PIERCE! These two men hit the ring and the action begins before the bell! Pierce clips Mitchell quickly and sends him to the mat. He follows with a knee drop, but Mitchell rolls out of the way. Mitchell is back on his feet and he sends Pierce into the ropes. Both men come off the ropes and hit each other in the air! Both men go down, but they're up quickly! Mitchell clotheslines Pierce across the ring, but again "The Golden Boy" is on his feet! Pierce charges and again the two men collide. Pierce comes out on top and DDTs Mitchell to the mat! Mitchell rolls outside, and Pierce follows him out! They trade rights and lefts, and now there's a shoving match! Pierce pushes Mitchell into the iron post and then both men roll back in the ring. Pierce has the advantage as Mitchell favors his back. Pierce sends him into the ropes, and then he catches The Terminator with a flying body press!! ONE...no, Mitchell is out, and he rolls up Pierce! ONE....no, both men fall away from each other. Mitchell charges Pierce and catches him with a bulldog! ONE...no, Pierce grabs the ropes, but not Mitchell starts choking The Golden Boy. The ref calls for the break, and finally Mitchell lets go after a four-count. But "The Golden Boy" is on his feet, and he lets loose with a huge kick to Mitchell's throat! Mitchell goes down with a DDT by Pierce! And now Pierce follows with a boston crab! Mitchell is in serious trouble! He finally grabs the ropes, and is dragged to his feet by Pierce. Mitchell reverses the whip and sends Pierce into the ropes. Mitchell tries to hit with a flying body press, but Pierce ducks and Mitchell nails the referee! The referee is down and out! Pierce grabs hold of Mitchell and pulls him off the referee. He sends him into the ropes and nails him to the mat with a clothesline! There's the cover! One....Two.....Three.....Four....wait a minute, here comes another referee down from the dressing room. SB: Who is that? BB: I don't know, but he's almost down to the ring. Bill the Banker meets him halfway and is yelling at him to give the match and the #1 seed to Pierce. Meanwhile, Mitchell rolls out of the ring and is talking to the Mastermind. Pierce follows him out, Mitchell ducks, and the Mastermind nails Pierce with a shoe! Mitchell rolls Pierce back in the ring and covers him! Here comes the new referee who dives into the ring! ONE......TWO....no, Pierce kicks out! Pierce is on his feet, he sends Mitchell into the ropes and nails him with a flying shoulderblock! He covers! The referee slides across the ring, and he goes through the ropes! One.....Two....Three...Four. The ref is back in the ring and starts to count, but only gets to one before Mitchell kicks out. SB: Where did this guy learn to be a referee? BB: Pierce comes off the ropes and hits Mitchell again! There's the cover, but Mitchell rolls him over, and he's got a handful of tights! But the ref counts it! ONE.....TWO......THREE!!!! Todd Mitchell wins it! He quickly rolls out of the ring! Pierce is furious! He's shoving the referee! The ref cautions him, but Paul Pierce cold cocks him! The ref's glasses and hat fly off! SB: HEY! THAT'S JOHNNY TROPIC!!!! BB: Pierce is furious, and these two men are going at it! We'll be back! ------------------------------------------------------------- Bill Buckly: Hello everybody!! We're back (quiet Ventolo), and ready for more of Fish Fund X: The Longest night of the year!! Sammy Benson: Yea, my butt's going numb. Bill Buckly: That's enough!! Sammy Benson: Is it time for Teri to come back? Bill Buckly: No, not yet! Let's head ringside! ************************************************************ For the Greensboro Heavyweight title Ultimate Defender (c) vs. Eric Jackson Bill Buckly: Sammy, if you memory serves you, you'll remember that it was the Ultimate Defender who defeated Eric Jackson to win the Greensboro title!! Sammy Benson: Eric Jackson winning a title in the first place, was pretty much a mistake to begin with! Let's just thank the powers that be, that we've got a real G'Boro champion, now! Bill Buckly: There's the bell, and Eric Jackson is all over the Ultimate Defender, like a Parsons out of a Piggly Wiggly! Jackson, wants revenge for losing that title!! Sammy Benson: The only title, he'll ever have!! Bill Buckly: Jackson sends, Defender for a ride, and there's a side-suplex!! That's his finisher!! Sammy Benson: OH, mercy me! Bill Buckly: ONE......TWO........NO!! That was close! Sammy Benson: Too close, if you ask me... Bill Buckly: No one did...Jackson to the delight of the crowd, drops an elbow!! He's on fire, he in the early going! Because of how UD won the belt, David Simmons, and the Sniper are here at ringside to assure this match of a clean ending! Sammy Benson: They're there to cheat, plain and simple! Bill Buckly: Jackson, lifts UD up, atomic drop! And now, an Irish whip, into the corner, where the Ultimate Defender catches him with an elbow!! Sammy Benson: It's about time! Bill Buckly: The Greensboro champion, takes a minute to gather his senses, and now he's on the offensive. With a Bench press body slam!! What upper body strength! As he sends Jackson, down hard to the mat! Sammy Benson: Look at the flab fly! Bill Buckly: Defender, with a Piledriver! And now, a running powerslam!! The cover, ONE......TWO....NO! Jackson isn't about to go down that easily! Defender with a snap-suplex, awwww...that was impressive! Sammy Benson: He's a star, a freakin' Star!! Bill Buckly: Defender, with a Sling-shot suplex! Possible pinfall, ONE......TWO..NO!! Jackson, go the foot on the ropes!! Bill Buckly: Back in the ring, the Ultimate Defender hits Eric Jackson with a Frank'n'Steiner!! Sammy Benson: Ole, baby, what a move!! Bill Buckly: He's going for a powerbomb!! But, Jackson blocks it! Back body drop!! The crowd here at Fish Fund Park is going wild!! Eric with a clothesline!!! Sammy Benson: No! Bill Buckly: Defender with a rake of the eyes, and he send Jackson over the topes, for an automatic DQ, but Eric hangs on.....and has flipped himself back in the ring! Defender has his back turned.... Sammy Benson: Turn around....turn around.. Bill Buckly: Jackson with a right hand, that rocks the Ultimate Defender!! And now, a DDT!! Goodness!! Wait a minute....the Ultimate Dragon has entered the ring...but David Simmons and the Sniper take him out!! Sammy Benson: Where's.....we need help out here!! Bill Buckly: Jackson...with a bulldog! Hang, on.....the Ultimate Dragon..left some sort of weapon in the ring... Sammy Benson: Yes!! Yes! Bill Buckly: Jackson, finds it!!! It's a pair of brass knuckles and he hammers the Ultimate Defender with it! Sammy Benson: That's a DQ!! Bill Buckly: Pee Wee Troutman....has the count....ONE.....TWO....THREE!!!! Eric Jackson is the NEW Greensboro Champion!! Sammy Benson: No!! No!! Bill Buckly: What's going on? Troutman sees the brass knuckles and is calling for the bell. He grabs the G'Boro belt and rewards it to the Defender!! Sammy Benson: Eric Jackson has been DQ for using the brass knuckles!! Bill Buckly: But, he didn't.... Sammy Benson: Suck it up, Buckly!! It's over! Bill Buckly: I don't believe it...the Ultimate Defender retains the title. Fans, up next we'll hear from Steven Flair, who's going for the gold in tonights Ironman! ----------------------------------------------------------- BB: We're back after that match for the Greensboro Title! But before we go back to the ring, let's go down to the locker room with Stan Parsons. Stan, any update on Bubba Roiter so far? SP: Yes, Bill. Bubba was taken to Sweetwater's Mercy General Hospital where some tests were run. Thankfully, he does not have any serious injuries. He was diagnosed with mild concussion as well as a sprained wrist. BB: Any sign of Johnny Tropic down near where you are? SP: No, Bill, we haven't seen him since he was disguised as a referee and interfered in the Mitchell/Pierce match. BB: And just to update our viewers on that match, we have heard nothing from CS Enterprises about whether that match will stand. Back to you, Stan. SP: Fans, I'm here with another man who will be competing in the IRONMAN OF CHAMPIONS later tonight for the Unified Title. Steven Flair, you are no newcomer to this event. SF: True, Stan. I competed in the first IRONMAN OF CHAMPS to create the Unified Title. SP: I'm sure you hope to do better tonight than you did in that one. SF: Watch it, Parsons. I'm looking to win the Unified Title is what I'm looking for. And I'm looking to show some of these newcomer punks what wrestling is all about. SP: You haven't been in real action in quite a while... SF: That may be true, but it's like riding a bike, Stan. You never forget how to do it and do it well. And I'm the best at riding a bike around here, Stan. SP: Well, I must say, you've got as good a shot as anybody else in this one. The experience, people watching your back... SF: I don't need you to help boost my confidence, Parsons. SP: I guess not. Thanks, Steven, back to you in the booth Bill. BB: Thanks, Stan. Let's get the intros for our next match. Rhubarb? RJ: The following match is one fall with a 30-minute time limit. It is for the CSWA's United States/National Heavyweight Championship. First, the challenger. He is from parts unknown and stands at six feet, seven inches and 325 pounds of pure muscle. He is a former Greensboro Champion and former two-time USN Heavyweight Champion. He will attempt to make it three times in this rematch. He is BONECRUSHER!!!! His opponent hails from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and stands at six feet, six inches tall and 295 pounds. He is the former United States Champion, Intracontinental Champion, Greensboro Champion and the reigning United States/National Champion. Here he is: HEAT!!!! BB: These two men are ready for this rematch! There is no love lost between them. At a PRIMETIME in June, Bonecrusher cost HEAT the Greensboro Championship to Eric Jackson. But HEAT got his revenge by challenging Bonecrusher for the USN Title and pinning the larger man in just seconds. Needless to say, neither of these men is a stranger to the other. BB: Bonecrusher is already in the ring, but he dives out and catches HEAT with a clothesline as HEAT comes down to ringside! The two men are on the floor swinging at each other. This is a brawl! SB: You can say that again! These two men cannot stand each other. We may not even get a match started! BB: You may be right. The bell has rung, and referee Ben Worthington is beginning a ten-count. Outside the ring, Bonecrusher seems to have come out on top. He pulls HEAT to his feet and sends him right shoulder-first into the iron ring post! Now Bonecrusher tries to slam HEAT's head into the small staircase leading onto the ring apron, but HEAT blocks it and sends Bonecrusher's head down hard instead! HEAT rolls into the ring, just beating the ten-count of Ben Worthington. Worthington begins the count anew on Bonecrusher, who now also rolls into the ring. This one is underway and it will determine which of these man walks out the USN Champion! HEAT catches Bonecrusher with a head butt as he comes into the ring, but Bonecrusher dives over the top rope and catches HEAT with a sunset flip! Bonecrusher gets HEAT over! ONE......no, HEAT kicks out, but no thanks to Bonecrusher who had a handful of tights! SB: So what? BB: So what? It's illegal, that's what. SB: Really? BB: Yes, really. SB: I didn't know that. BB: I just bet you didn't. Both men are on their feet and they both come off the ropes. Bonecrusher's bulk and power takes down HEAT with a flying body! HEAT rolls out of the ring, but rolls back in as Bonecrusher follows. SB: They're playing tag! BB: But now it's Bonecrusher who is 'it,' as he gets caught with a savat kick by HEAT! And now a belly to belly suplex by HEAT on the big man. HEAT is taking control of this match. He follows with a DDT and a quick cover! ONE......no, Bonecrusher kicks out. But HEAT keeps the big man off his feet with a big knee lift followed by another DDT. And now HEAT is going for the scorpion deathlock! But Bonecrusher kicks him away and into the turnbuckle! HEAT hit hard! And now Bonecrusher is slowly getting to his feet! Bonecrusher grabs HEAT out of the corner and sends him to the mat with a belly to belly suplex! Bonecrusher pulls HEAT to his feet again. There's a slingshot suplex! Bonecrusher covers the stunned USN Champion! ONE.....no, HEAT kicks out, and both men are on their feet! But not for long, Bonecrusher catches HEAT with a short clothesline, and now he follows up by hooking in the scorpion deathlock! It could be all over here! HEAT is in serious trouble, but he's inching his way towards the ropes! BB: HEAT gets closer and closer, but Bonecrusher has the scorpion deathlock hooked in tight. Finally, HEAT's fingertips reach the ropes and the ref calls for the break. But Bonecrusher isn't letting go, not when he can tell HEAT is almost broken. Finally, at the ref's count of four, Bonecrusher breaks the hold. He pulls HEAT to his feet and sends him into the ropes! Bonecrusher comes off the other side, but HEAT's legs give out from the scorpion deathlock! Bonecrusher flies through the second rope and hits the mat hard! HEAT is down inside the ring, and Ben Worthington begins the count on both men. Neither one is close to getting to their feet! Outside the ring, Bonecrusher is finally moving and trying to pull himself up using the apron. Inside the ring, HEAT almost gets to his feet by pulling up on the second rope, but his legs give way again. Worthington's count is up to eight, but Bonecrusher finally rolls back in the ring, breaking the count. Bonecrusher is on his feet, and he pulls HEAT to his. Bonecrusher levels HEAT with a savat kick, and now scoops him up. He's heading up top with HEAT in his arms! Bonecrusher is on the top rope and he's handling HEAT like a rag doll! He's got him up, and they come down with a belly to back suplex from the top!!!!! Bonecrusher covers! ONE..........TWO.......no, somehow HEAT gets his shoulder up! SB: How?? How in the world did he do that? BB: I don't know, and either it looks like does Bonecrusher! Bonecrusher pulls HEAT up again, and now he sends him down hard with a tombstone! ONE........no, HEAT is up again! Again, Bonecrusher climbs to the top, this time without HEAT in his arms. He waits for HEAT to make it to his feet, and now he comes off with a shoulderblock from the top!!!! HEAT just got leveled! The cover..... ONE..........TWO........NO, HEAT gets his arm on the ropes! Bonecrusher goes for the cover again, but again, HEAT gets an arm on the ropes. Once again, Bonecrusher pulls HEAT to his feet, and this time he sends him down with the spinebuster! We all know what's coming next! SB: The move that separated Mark Windham's shoulder and put Hornet to the mat for the three-count! BB: That's right! Bonecrusher has HEAT up on his shoulder! Here it comes, the POWERBOMB!!!!!!!! And the cover! ONE........TWO.......NO, again HEAT gets the shoulder up!!!!! Bonecrusher is furious! But I don't think HEAT has anything left in him! Bonecrusher heads up top, and comes off quickly with a splash from the top! But HEAT somehow reverses him! ONE.......TWO.......no, Bonecrusher rolls out!!! HEAT almost had the win! Bonecrusher pulls HEAT up and puts him down with the Implant DDT!!!! This could be it! ONE................ TWO.........THREE!!!! We have a new United States/National Champion!!!! Bonecrusher has become a three-time USN Champion!!!!! HEAT rolls out of the ring as Ben Worthingon awards Bonecrusher the belt! I don't know if this feud is over or not! The Unified Tag Team Title Defense is up next! ------------------------------------------------------------ Bill Buckly: Sammy, we're movin' at the speed of light! Sammy Benson: Good news, I'm starting to get the feeling back in my right cheek.. Bill Buckly: Check please! Sammy, this is a family show! There will be no obscene comments or gestures... Sammy Benson: Just puttin' that freak Ventolo on the air is enough to.... Bill Buckly: STOP!! We're ready for the World Tag Team title defense! ************************************************************ For the World Tag Team Title Beachcombers (c) vs Crazy Like a Windham(CLAW) Bill Buckly: This ought to be a wild, tag team affair for the titles! Sammy Benson: The Beachcombers shocked the world by winning the titles, and now they get to defeat Windham and that loon Junior HORNET! Bill Buckly: That's right folks, Mark Windham will be gunning for his second World title..he's held the Unified World, and now he's after the World tag titles! The fans here at Fish Fund Park, Mark's backyard, are going wild because Junior HORNET has brought down his.....bodyguards the Mighty Morphin Midgets!! The Midgets are in character, and are presently bouncing on the middle rope!! Sammy Benson: For cryin' out loud the CSWA, has sunk to the NGEN's level...check that, they're still a few levels below the Morphin Midgets! Bill Buckly: Here we go, as it will be Mark Windham starting out against the Big Kahuna!! And Benson, he's big alright! Sammy Benson: He's huge! Bill Buckly: Windham with a side headlock, to start things..but he's whipped into the ropes, and ROCKED with a clothesline!! MERCY!! Windham is in trouble! The Big Kahuna, with a headbutt! As Mark staggers back to the corner! Sammy Benson: I love it! The Beachcombers are the tag team of the '90s! Bill Buckly: Kahuna makes a quick tag to the Hawaiian Hurricane! The Hurricane with a savat kick! And now he send Windham for a ride to the other turnbuckle! He charges in, but Windham moves out of the way, and rolls him up!! WE COULD HAVE NEW TAG CHAMPS, ONE.....NO! Sammy Benson: Not so fast! It's going to take more than that! Bill Buckly: How about a right hand to the jaw! And now, a vertical suplex! Windham has got fire, with a sleeper hold! The Big Kahuna jumps in the ring, Windham breaks the sleeper hold, and now has Kahuna in one!! Junior Hornet is in the ring, and he's got the Hurricane in a sleeper! I don't believe it! Sammy Benson: Come on, Worthington...clear the ring! Bill Buckly: Windham and Junior HORNET send the Berzerk Beachcombers into the middle of the ring, and they run into each other!! Bill Buckly: Order is restored....Windham tags in Jr. HORNET!!(Fans go wild) The Morphin Midgets are elated! Jr. HORNET clubs the Hurricane over the head with a forearm! Standing dropkick! WHAT A MOVE!! Sammy Benson: yea, considering he's 300 lbs! Bill Buckly: But, he got up there....barely. Junior HORNET bounces off the ropes, but.....Mad Mike pulls the top rope down, and JRH goes over the top...and takes a nasty spill! Mad Mike!! Sammy, that's a reason why all managers should be banned from ringside! Sammy Benson: Hey, I don't hear you complaining about the Midgets??!! Bill Buckly: On the outside, the Big Kahuna rushes over and sends Jr.Hornet into the iron post! His head hit hard! Sammy Benson: Ding! Who is it?... Bill Buckly: You're a riot! Jr.Hornet is starting to bleed! Kahuna's got a chair...wait...the Midgets have undercut him!(fans go wild) A Morphin Midget is on the apron...Midget Rocket Launcher on the Big Kahuna! That brought the house down! Look at this, Mad Mike is chasing the Midgets around the ring.....all four of them finally into the ring, Mike follows, and is slammed by Windham!! From behind, Mark is leveled with a chair! The ref is trying to get things cleared up, meanwhile the Berzerk Beachcombers are double teaming Junior HORNET! Sammy Benson: Did I just see Midgets run across the ring? Bill Buckly: Big Kahuna is tagged in and he just powerbombed Jr. HORNET! For the win, ONE......TWO...NO!! The lunatic kicks out! Sammy Benson: Wonders never cease.. Bill Buckly: Kahuna tags in the Hawaiian Hurricane, and he piledrives JRH!! ONE.....TWO..NO!! Almost a pinfall! Sammy Benson: Finish him! Bill Buckly: Hurricane going for another piledriver....but Jr.HORNET flips him over! Both men are down....The Big Kahuna is tagged in, and Jr.HORNET leaps and...TAGS IN MARK WINDHAM!!(Fans go crazy) Windham with a lariat! And now, a powerslam! Sammy Benson: Mike...get up...do something! Bill Buckly: Windham has got HH in the Sharpeshooter... that's his finisher! Sammy Benson: This can't be happening... Bill Buckly: But it is! Mad Mike is on the apron..and Worthington goes over to get up down!! Sammy Benson: Hey, what's this..The Big Kahuna has a pulls out a chain..and he hits Mark with it!! He's out! Bill Buckly: He's got the pin! But, one of the Midget runs in and Kahuna's got'em by the hair! Bill Buckly: He's choking the Midget, Junior HORNET off the Top Rope, with a Sunset flip!! He's trying to pull him down, but he can't!! Sammy Benson: Fight it...fight it! Bill Buckly: He's pulling with all his might! Hey...the Red Morphin Midget..has got a coconut! He broke it over, the BK's head! Jr. got'em over...ONE.....TWO.........THREE!!!!! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!!(Fans erupt) WE'VE GOT NEW WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS!!! Sammy Benson: (Throwing his headset down) I hate midgets!!! Bill Buckly: WINDHAM...JR.HORNET...AND MIDGETS CELEBRATE OUTSIDE!! P.VICIOUS...AHHH...JH IS A WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPION FOR THE SECOND TIME! AND MARK WINDHAM HAS BECOME ONLY THE THIRD MAN TO HOLD THE WORLD TITLE AND THE WORLD TAG TITLE! This crowd, here in Mark's hometown Sweetwater, Texas..are chanting his name! Let's go to Rudy Seizter who has CLAW at his side. Rudy Seizter: Thanks, Bill. Mark?! They said your career was over..but tonight is it safe to say..... Mark Windham: I'm Back! Back with a Vengeance! Rudy Seizter: Windham with a Vengeance, huh? Junior is it sweeter the second time around? Junior HORNET: I just want to thank, my buddies here.. they mean a lot to me. And Mark...its' a honor teaming with y.. Mark Windham:(pushing JH's head out of camera) Everybody out that, that wrote me off...take a good look! 8 years now, I've been in the CSWA, and done it all! And tonight, after a lengthy drought, I showed all the 'newcomers' what Mark Windham is all about! I'm back..and better than ever! You hear that FLAIR! Rudy Seizer: Mark, later tonight...you're facing a wrestler of Mickey Benedict's choice, for the chance to win back the "Living Legend' nickname, and to retire Mickey for good! Any ideas as to who the wrestler will be? Mark Windham: It doesn't really matter, Rudy. I hope its' Bonecrusher, or Flair...maybe even Kevin Gallo. Who cares? The point is, come hell or highwater...in about two hours, I'll be the 'Living Legend' again! Rudy Seizter: One more thing, how's Timmy doing? Mark Windham: Muppet Kid?! He's recovering nicely..he should return to action by the first of the month. Rudy Seizter: Thanks guys..Bill back to you! BB: I think we can safely say that Mark Windham is BACK in the CSWA and quickly headed for the top of the singles world. He's never been a man to sit back and watch! SB: Yeah, but he won't really be back until he's "The Living Legend" again. BB: And if he can defeat the wrestler Mickey Benedict throws at him, he will do just that! Wow, and we could be seeing the restart of one of the greatest feuds of all time, the one between Steven Flair and Mark Windham. And just think, this time it could be for the Unified World Championship rather than the US and National Titles. I think Mark Windham may be trying to become the first man to hold both the Unified Heavyweight Title and the Unified Tag Team Titles at the same time! SB: And the sad thing is: Junior Hornet has become a three-time Unified Tag Team Champion!!!! NOOOOOOOOO!!! BB: And now we're coming down to the last 16 matches of the night! SB: You have to be kidding! BB: Nope, one of those matches we've already discussed, the "Mickey's Choice Challenge" issued by Mickey Benedict to Mark Windham with the nickname of "The Living Legend" on the line for the second time. And those other 15 matches will determine who walks out the Unified World Heavyweight Champion. That's right, it's time to kick off the IRONMAN OF CHAMPIONS! Let's head down to announcer Rhubarb Jones! RJ: Thank you Bill. Hello FISH FUND PARK ARENA! (Crowd screams) You've already seen some great wrestling action, but now it's time to start off one of the biggest events ever to hit the wrestling world. The CSWA's top six wrestlers will be involved in this round-robin tournament! Before I announce our first match, let me announce tonight's six competitors who you'll be seeing in action. First, the former National Champion and former Unified Tag Team Champ, "Stylin" STEVEN FLAIR! Secondly, the former two-time Unified Heavyweight Champion and current United States Tag Team Champion, the one, the only HORNET! Up third, the former CSWA Presidential Champion, the "Perfect Package" SCOTT WATERS! Fourth, the reigning CSWA Presidential Champion and two-time Olympic Gold Medalist, ALEXANDR KARELIN! Also in the IRONMAN, the reigning EN World Champion and the man with the "Strongest Arms in the World" GUNS! And finally, the man who is defending his Unified World Championship, the Posterboy of the Hardcore Generation TSUNAMI! This is the second ever IRONMAN OF CHAMPIONS and it is for the Unified World Heavyweight Championship! Here are the rules: Matches will be chosen at random by Bill Buckley and Sammy Benson. Each man will face the other five men. The winner who will be the Unified Champion must win on points. A win by pinfall is worth 20 points; a loss is worth nothing. A win by countout is worth 15 points, a win by disqualification is worth 10 points. Finally a draw is worth 5 points, and a double countout or double disqualification gains no points for either man. Should there be a tie in points, the tiebreaker will be determined by who won the head-to-head match. So, for example, if both Tsunami and GUNS end up with 80 points and are in first place, the winner of the Tsunami/GUNS match would be the Unified Champion. So, all that having been said, here is our first match. First to the ring, the man looking to become the three-time Unified World Champion, here is the One, the Only HORNET!!! His opponent is the Unified World Heavyweight Champion, he is the Posterboy of the Hardcore Generation, TSUNAMI!!!!!!! BB: This is a match that many people have been looking forward to for a long time! In their last meeting, Hornet dominated Tsunami. And while that was just a couple of months ago, it was before Tsunami became the Unified Champion. But has becoming the Unified Champion erased the memory of their last match from Tsunami's mind? He's got to know that Hornet is reasonably healthy again, no thanks to GUNS' attacks in the AAWC. SB: But he also knows, as does every other wrestler in this IRONMAN, that Hornet's back is the key to his defeat. BB: You're exactly right about that, Sammy. If someone is able to concentrate on Hornet's back, he may go down early. Right now, Tsunami is still outside the ring talking to his manager "Hardcore" Jimmy V. I didn't know Jimmy V knew how to speak Japanese. SB: Then you're an idiot, how else would he communicate with Tsunami. BB: I thought they had an interpreter. Anyway, Hornet is inside the ring, patiently waiting for the Unified Champion. Tsunami waits a few more seconds to finish his talk with Jimmy V, and now he rolls into the ring just as the bell sounds. Ben Worthington is the ref in this one, and this IRONMAN OF CHAMPIONS is underway! Hornet catches Tsunami as he gets to his feet and sends him back down with a flying dropkick!!!! Now Hornet pulls Tsunami up and hooks in a full nelson! SB: Hornet isn't gonna let Tsunami get the chance to work on his back! BB: And Hornet's strength advantage is showing as he bears down with the full nelson. Tsunami is grimacing. But Hornet suddenly lets up on the full nelson, scoops up Tsunami and now the Unified Champ is up on the former Unified Champion's shoulders in the backbreaker! The Unified World Champion is in serious trouble early in this match! Tsunami is struggling to escape the backbreaker, and finally does, but he falls to the mat from about seven feet. Hornet heads toward the ropes and comes off, but Tsunami rolls out of the way and Hornet's flying elbow misses. He hits the mat hard, and a kick from Tsunami causes Hornet to fall outside the ring. Jimmy V is waiting outside! He's got a chair, and he slams it down on Hornet's back!!! Referee Ben Worthington rolls outside and cautions Jimmy V, and now Hornet is rolling back inside the ring! SB: That's how a manager is supposed to work! BB: Tsunami sends Hornet down with a body slam and now heads up top like a lightning bolt! Tsunami is so fast! He was up on the top rope in one leap! And just as quickly, he catches Hornet with a Falcon's Flight!!! There's the cover! ONE....no, Hornet kicks out! He seems to be recovering from that chair to the back, but Tsunami still ahs the momentum in his favor! Tsunami sends Hornet into the ropes. Hornet ducks the clothesline and catches Tsunami off the other side with a flying body press! Hornet jumps to his feet and with incredible speed of his own he flips Tsunami over into the Scorpion Deathlock!!!! SB: NO!!! BB: Usually Hornet follows his Hornet splash with the most dangerous move in wrestling, but this time he sees the opening and takes it, hooking in the devastating hold on the Unified World Champion!!!! Ben Worthington is asking Tsunami if he wants to submit, but the Unified Champ isn't giving it up! Tsunami grabs the ropes breaking the hold! Hornet flips Tsunami over and, still holding onto his legs, drags the Unified Champion into the middle of the ring! He cinches in a boston crab, and once again, the lower back and a win in this IRONMAN OF CHAMPIONS for Tsunami is under attack! Tsunami is clawing and scratching his way towards the ropes, and finally his fingertips touch them. Ben Worthington calls for the break, but again, Tsunami can't get to his feet, because Hornet pulls him to the center of the ring! And again, the Scorpion Deathlock is the move of choice for the former Unified Champion! SB: Come on, Tsunami!!!!! BB: I don't think Tsunami has the strength to power out of the Scorpion. Very few men have done it, and it's usually when Hornet has been injured. But Tsunami won't give it up, and the attack by Hornet is taking its hold. Tsunami looks like he may be losing consciousness! Hornet lets up on the Scorpion and heads up to the top rope!!! He comes off!! TOP ROPE JUMP SPLASH!!! And the cover!!! ONE........TWO.........THREE!!!! Hornet wins the first match of this IRONMAN and defeats the current Unified Champion! That puts the early score for Hornet at twenty points. And remember folks, if Hornet and Tsunami end up tied at the end of this whole thing, Hornet would be the new Unified Champion by virtue of his win here! Let's keep things rolling and randomly choose the second match of the night! Let's go to Rhubarb for the announcements. RJ: First, the former National Champion will wrestle his first match in the IRONMAN OF CHAMPIONS. But he's no newcomer to the CSWA or the IOC, because he is the only man other than Hornet to have participated in the original IRONMAN OF CHAMPIONS almost two years ago. He is the premiere member of the CORPORATION: "STYLIN" STEVEN FLAIR! His opponent reigns at the current ENTERPRISES WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION, and as we found out just days ago is the #1 contender to the AAWC Universal Title, here is the man with the STRONGEST ARMS IN THE WORLD, GUNS!!!!! BB: This is another match that the world has been waiting for! Steven Flair is back near the top, but can he deal with the power of GUNS? SB: Every match in this IRONMAN is one the world has been waiting for, so stop saying it! BB: Sorry! You're just a little cranky because two of your favorite wrestlers have to face each other. SB: Yeah, yeah, whatever. BB: GUNS still has a little limp in his step. He was attacked by Mike Randalls with a wooden sharpened stake about a month ago, and more recently he competed in the AAWC's Tournament for the AAWC Universal Title where he not only had to deal with Hornet's Scorpion Deathlock, but Tully Planchard and Ern Endersen's attacks as well! SB: Yeah, but that didn't stop him from taking out Tom Adler at the end of WrestleFest! BB: Well, GUNS better get that knee back into shape if he expects to gain the AAWC Universal Title from Adler, and if he expects to hold on to the EN World Title from Tyler Woods! SB: Tyler Woods? Please, the kid got ROCKED by GUNS. He may be a great wrestler, but he's not GUNS' caliber. BB: Be careful. You may have to eat those words if Woods becomes the next EN World Champ! SB: Do you see any sweat dripping off my face? I'm not worried. BB: There's the bell, and this one is underway. These two men have had a few words to each other but they have never met in the ring. GUNS charges Steven Flair!!! He knocks Flair down with a shoulder block and now he hooks the Crossface Chicken Wing on the former member of ARROGANCE! Ben Worthington asks Flair if he wants to give it up, but the CORP member shakes his head furiously. Just like Hornet, GUNS isn't gonna give his opponent the chance to work on his weak spot, his knee. Flair grabs the ropes and breaks the hold finally, but he's already worn down early in this match. GUNS follows up by slamming Flair to the mat and hooking in the figure four leglock on the former National Champ!!!! The EN World Champion is looking in fine form early on in this one! Flair grabs the ropes, but GUNS pulls him away and hooks in the figure four in the center of the ring! GUNS is following the same game plan that Hornet did, using the figure four instead of the Scorpion! SB: Don't insult GUNS like that. BB: Insult him? It got Hornet the win didn't it? GUNS let's up on the figure four, scoops up Flair and puts him down HARD with the sidewalk slam! He covers! ONE......... TWO....no, Flair kicks out somehow! GUNS goes for a cradle cover, but Flair reverses it into the PERFECTPLEX!!!! WOW! GUNS kicks out before a count, but Steven Flair is back in this one! He delivers a knee lift to the big midsection of GUNS and then follows by hooking in another perfectplex! ONE.....no, GUNS kicks out, but Flair is already on his feet, and he hooks in the figure four leglock on GUNS! He's giving the big man a taste of his own medicine! GUNS grabs the ropes, but Flair repeats exactly what GUNS did, pulling the big man to the center of the ring and putting the figure four leglock back on GUNS! Flair has it cinched in, and you can see the pain on GUNS' face as that right knee is once again put to the test! And it's being put to the test early in the night, GUNS has to wrestle four more times tonight! SB: Not to mention the five or so matches he wrestled in the AAWC just a few nights ago. BB: GUNS grabs the ropes, and both men get to their feet. GUNS is favoring that knee, and Flair tries to undercut it, but GUNS responds with a huge clothesline!!! Flair's neck snapped back with that one! And now GUNS is scooping up Flair onto his shoulder! Can his knee take the pressure? Yes, it can! There's a POWERBOMB by GUNS! He covers! ONE.......TWO...Flair gets a leg on the ropes and Worthington stops the count! Now GUNS hooks in an STF!!! He's using Flair's own finisher in an attempt to finish off Flair! SB: But that could be a mistake! Flair knows the STF inside and out! BB: You're exactly right, Sammy, although it shocks me to say that! Flair is attempting to power out of the STF, and he looks like he knows just how to do it, because GUNS is furiously trying to keep their legs locked. But finally, Flair prevails, and GUNS falls to the mat! Flair is up like lightning and he hooks in a boston crab on the big man1!! GUNS is in pain again as that right knee is wrenched once more. But GUNS grabs the ropes, breaking the hold! Flair scoops up the big man and puts him down with a belly to belly!!!!! And now, there's a crotchcrusher to the lower midsection of GUNS! Flair hooks in the perfectplex and covers! ONE........TWO.....no, GUNS kicks out! Flair delivers a knee lift and is now headed up top! He comes off with a jump-splash from the top rope, but GUNS uses his own momentum to reverse it!!! ONE............... TWO....NO, Flair is out! GUNS was a split second away from winning this one! Flair is on his feet, as is GUNS! Flair comes off the ropes! There's a flying body press! Both men went over the top rope!!!! Both men went down hard on the outside, but I think Flair got the better of it, as he landed on top of the massive GUNS. Flair is slowly getting to his feet, and Ben Worthington has begun the count on both men! Flair delivers a few knee lifts to GUNS, but the big man looks down. Flair rolls into the ring as Ben Worthington counts eight, but GUNS is just now moving to get to his feet. I don't think he's gonna make it back in, and Flair isn't moving to go outside and stop the count. There's the bell! Steven Flair will be content with the countout win in his first contest of this IRONMAN. SB: Smart move. Flair knows he's got four more matches to wrestle. He's already gone all out in this one, there's no point in him wasting ALL his energy to get the extra five points. BB: Well, after just two matches wrestled by four men in this IRONMAN OF CHAMPIONS, Hornet leads with one win and twenty points. Flair is a close second with a countout win and fifteen points. GUNS and Tsunami both trail with no points from their one loss apiece. -------------------------------------------------------- BB: We are moving right along here in the FISH FUND PARK ARENA! We have chosen the third IRONMAN randomly, and now we'll head down to Rhubarb for the announcement. RJ: Hello again wrestling fans! The next match brings in one of the two competitors yet to wrestle. He is the former CSWA Presidential Champion, and the man known for ousting Tom Adler from the CSWA. He is the Perfect Package, SCOTT WATERS!!!!! His opponent will be wrestling in his second match in a row. He's bad and he's back, he is STEVEN FLAIR! BB: Looks like Flair has his worked cut out for him. He's only had about a two minute rest since his tough match with GUNS, and now he's on his way back out. These two men are peas in a pod, at least in their arrogant attitudes. But they are also two of the best wrestlers in the world today, partly due to those attitudes. Both men are in the ring, and Flair takes a cue from both GUNS and Hornet, going on the attack early, catching the rested Waters with a belly to back suplex. But Waters is up quickly, and he's on Flair with a full nelson. Who's gonna win this one Sammy? SB: Well, I should say Waters because he's rested and leads a little in the strength category, but I'm not, because Steven Flair is the greatest wrestler in the world today! BB: Well, what an unbiased opinion. SB: Hey, you asked. BB: I know. Flair maneuvers out of the full nelson and quickly delivers reverse knife edges to Waters. You can here those reverberating throughout the building! SB: What a glorious sound! BB: "Glorious" is a word I never thought I'd hear out of your mouth. Waters goes down, and Flair follows with that now famous knee lift. But Waters isn't out yet! Flair whips him into the ropes, but his move backfires as Waters comes off with a forearm shiver. Scott Waters follows with a huge butterfly suplex! And the Perfect Package isn't done! He follows with a perfectly executed german suplex for the cover! ONE......no, Flair kicks out. And Flair is on his feet! Waters goes for an irish whip, but it's reversed by Flair. Waters comes off the ropes and Flair sidesteps and launches him neck-first onto the other side of the ring ropes with a hot shot! Waters is hurt, but he's up on his feet quickly. Flair tries to follow up with reverse knife edges, but Waters blocks them and delivers a few rights and lefts of his own. Ben Worthington warns Waters about using the closed fist, but Waters gives him a look like "What are you talking about, peon?" SB: Good read there, Buckley. BB: Flair is stunned by the punches, and that allows Waters to scoop him up on his back into his devastating Human Torture Rack! Flair is in big trouble, and Worthington is asking him if he wants to submit. Just like with GUNS, Flair furiously refuses, and he finally breaks free, landing on the mat. He rolls out of the ring, causing Waters to miss an elbow smash, and just as quickly, Flair is back in the ring, and there's a crotchcrusher to Waters' lower midsection! SB: That's how he started the run against GUNS! BB: Flair follows up with a big gutwrench suplex, then scoops up Waters and puts him back down with a belly to to back suplex! Waters is on his feet quickly, but he's put back down just as quickly with another belly to back suplex! But again, he's back on his feet, not even stunned by the assault by Flair. Waters sends Flair into the ropes and catches him as he comes off, bench pressing him above his head!!! There's a press slam that sent Flair into freefall from seven feet up. Waters hooks in a german suplex! ONE......no, Flair kicks out. Both men are on their feet, and Flair is able to send Waters into the ropes. There's a gutwrench suplex as Waters comes back across! But Scott Waters is back on his feet! He delivers another german suplex to Flair, who kicks out immediately, and again, both men are up! Flair catches Waters with another crotch crusher! But Waters is up, although staggering, and puts Flair to the mat with a body slam. Waters hooks in the figure four on the former National Champion! Flair quickly grabs the ropes to break the hold, but Waters is on his feet. He scoops Flair up on his back into the Human Torture Rack! This could be it for Flair! SB: Don't count on it. BB: Flair tries to grab the ropes from Waters' back, but ends up falling off Waters' and onto the ring apron hard! From there he rolls down to the matted floor. I think he might be hurt. Waters is going to follow him out! But he better look out! Flair picks up a steel chair and swings, it catching Waters hard in the side of the head and shoulder! Referee Ben Worthington has called for the bell! He's going to disqualify Steven Flair for his use of the chair! SB: WHAT? He can't do that can he? BB: Sure he can. Remember this is for the Unified Title, and Worthington isn't gonna allow anything like Flair just did. Waters doesn't look too thrilled with the win however. He wins the match by disqualification, so he'll only receive 10 points, although if he and Flair end up in a tiebreaker situation, Waters will win the tiebreaker. That means the standing after three matches are: Hornet with 20 points and one win; Flair with 15 points from one win and one loss; Waters has 10 points with one win, and GUNS and Tsunami have 0 pts, with one loss each. Remember, each man will wrestle a total of five matches. We'll be back with the next IRONMAN match after this announcement about the Boozer Tag Team Tournament from the CSWA! ---------------------------------------------------------- BB: We're back, let's head down to Stan Parsons who is just outside the dressing room with Scott Waters. Stan? SP: Thanks, Bill. Scott, you just got your first win of the night... SW: Shut up, Parsons. Flair! You better watch your back, buddy, because you just cost me ten points out there! I had you beat, but you couldn't deal with me getting those twenty points, could you? But that's alright, because there's no way you'll end up the Unified Champion, Flair. I beat you from pillar to post. You may have been able to take GUNS, but after what I did to you, you'll never last in your next three matches. SP: What do you.... SW: Sorry Stanny, I just heard them call my name, I've got another match. SP: Oh well, back to you Bill! BB: Thanks, Stan. Scott Waters was right, he does indeed have another match, and it's against the Unified Champion himself, Tsunami! Tsunami needs a win here, because he certainly doesn't want to have two matches down and no points on the board. On the other hand, with a win by pinfall or even countout here, Waters could take the lead in his second match. Both men are in the ring, and we are ready to rock! The 110,000 plus people here in the FISH FUND PARK ARENA are still screaming for their favorites in this IRONMAN, and they'll have the chance to see them all in action quite a bit more tonight! There's the bell, and Waters catches Tsunami unawares with a reverse neckbreaker! Tsunami had turned to get last minute instructions from his manager Jimmy V, but Waters got the upper hand! Tsunami is up, but Waters sends him down with another reverse neckbreaker!!!! Waters hooks the arms and follows up with a butterfly suplex! Wow, Waters still looks great, even after his match with Flair just minutes ago! Tsunami, however, is in trouble early. Waters is going for the quick win! He's got Tsunami up on his shoulders in the Human Torture Rack! SB: Every man in this IRONMAN knows that he's got a long night ahead of him. They want to get at least one quick win out of the way. BB: Waters drops Tsunami to the mat, then pulls him up and sends him down hard with another reverse neckbreaker! That's the third already in this match. Waters bounces off the ropes and hits Tsunami with a forearm shiver! That sends Tsunami through the second rope and down to the concrete floor. Jimmy V runs over quickly and shields Tsunami from Waters, who rolls out to bring Tsunami back in. Waters tosses Jimmy V out of the way, but he gets caught with a karate kick by Tsunami which sends him staggering. Now Tsunami sends Waters head-first into the iron post! Tsunami rolls the stunned Waters back into the ring and heads up top! Tsunami comes off the top as Waters gets to his feet! FALCON'S FLIGHT! That stuns Waters, but he's able to grab Tsunami's head and send him into the mat with an Implant DDT! Both men are down, and Worthington begins a standing ten-count. You're awful quiet, Sammy. SB: Do you ALWAYS have to pick on me? BB: Touchy, touchy. Waters is up first and he hooks in a full nelson on Tsunami, pulling the Unified Champ to his feet. Waters lets up on the full nelson and sends Tsunami into the ropes. There's a STUN GUN! Waters goes back to the full nelson, once again pulled the Unified Champion to his feet and to the center of the ring. Waters lets up on the full nelson again and hits the german suplex and the cover! ONE.......no, Tsunami kicks out. But Waters is relentless, using another german suplex to send Tsunami down to the mat! ONE.......TWO....Tsunami is out! Waters irish whips Tsunami into the ropes and hits him with a flying clothesline!!! He covers by hooking one leg. ONE.......no, once again, Tsunami kicks out. Again, Waters pulls Tsunami up and sends him into the ropes! FLYING BODY PRESS! ONE.........NO, Tsunami kicks out! Again, Waters whips the Unified Champion into the ropes! STUN GUN! Waters hooks the leg and covers! ONE..................... TWO..........THREE!!! SCOTT WATERS wins this match and gains the lead in this IRONMAN OF CHAMPIONS! Sammy, have you got that next match picked out yet? SB: Picking it out now. Uh oh. BB: What is it? SB: Just listen to Rhubarb and leave me alone, ok? RJ: In this next match, one of our competitors is looking for his second win in this his third match, while the other is looking to stay undefeated and take the lead. First, the man known best for his huge feud with Mark Windham, STEVEN FLAIR! And his opponent, a man also known for his matches with Windham, HORNET! BB: Now this is a big match! These two haven't faced off in over a year, since they were the National and Unified Champions respectively! SB: COME ON STEVEN! BB: The fifth match of this IRONMAN OF CHAMPIONS is underway as the two men hit the ring! They charge each other, and Hornet ends up locking Flair up in the bear hug! Hornet has the strength advantage over Flair, but Steven uses a quick punch to the head to get loose. Flair whips Hornet into the ropes and catches him with a spin kick, then quickly hooks in the STF! Hornet grimaces in pain, and Worthington gives a one-count at both Hornet's shoulders hit the mat. Hornet uses the power in his legs to reverse Flair's STF, much the same as Flair did to GUNS earlier in the IRONMAN. But Flair is still on the offensive. He catches Hornet with a belly to belly suplex, but the former two-time Unified Champ is on his feet, and he hooks in the bear hug once again. Hornet's looking to continue working on Flair's back, just as GUNS and Scott Waters did earlier with figure fours, Human Torture Racks... SB: And especially that big powerbomb earlier by GUNS. BB: Exactly. Flair grabs the ropes, but Hornet hooks in the bear hug again. Hornet lets up, sending Flair into the ropes and catching him in the chin with a big flying dropkick! Hornet quickly heads to the top rope! He comes off and NAILS Flair with a Shooting Star Press!!!! ONE............TWO........NO, Flair gets his foot on the ropes! Hornet pulls Flair up, but Flair catches Hornet with a clip to the knee and quickly hooks in the figure four! Hornet grabs the ropes, but Flair scoops him up and sends him packing with a belly to back suplex, and then hooks in the STF for the second time in this match! Hornet is struggling to get to the ropes, but Flair is successful in keeping him away from them, at least for the moment. Hornet tries to power his way out, but he doesn't have enough strength this time. SB: YES! TAKE HIM OUT FLAIR! MAKE HIM SUBMIT! BB: So much for unbiased commentating. Referee Ben Worthington asked Hornet about submitting, but the former Unified Champ doesn't even answer, he simply continues his battle to get his fingertips to the ropes. And he finally does! SB: NO! BB: Flair tries to pull Hornet off the ropes, but Hornet kicks him away and climbs to his feet. The two men lock up, and Hornet irish whips Flair into the ropes. There's a flying dropkick by the larger man! And now Hornet follows with a brainbuster! Hornet scoops up Flair into the backbreaker! But Flair is able to break out and he lands on his feet! He staggers Hornet with a knee lift and then hooks in the perfectplex! ONE......no, Hornet kicks out. He hooks in the bear hug, but Flair grabs the ropes, avoiding most of the punishment. Instead, Flair is able to get Hornet over with a belly to back suplex! ONE........ no, Hornet presses Flair halfway across the ring. Hornet hits the brainbuster! And now he follows with a series of heart kicks that put Flair back down on the ring hard! But Flair rolls away avoiding the pin. Flair is up, and he catches Hornet with huge series of reverse knife edges! Flair rolls Hornet up in a small package!!!! ONE.......... TWO.............THREE!!!!!! Steven Flair wins this match! That gives Flair another twenty points, putting him in the lead with 35 after his first three matches, just over Waters with 30 points. Hornet has 20 points at 1-0, while GUNS and Tsunami are still at 0 points. Alexandr Karelin has yet to wrestle tonight. ---------------------------------------------------------- Bill Buckly: Hello fans, we're back!! What a match we just witnessed! Steven Flair, upset former Unified World champion HORNET! Sammy Benson: Upset? Come on, Buckly! The whole world knows HORNET is a has-been, and the Unified belt is Steven Flair's for the taking! Bill Buckly: Well, certainly HORNET's back is certainly bothering him...tonight. Sammy Benson: Oh yea, that back he hurt in the plane crash all those years ago.... Bill Buckly: Stop it! Fans, we're set for another match! Right now, it's the current Unified champion, Tsunami taking on, the upset minded Steven Flair! Tsunami is 0-2 thus far, so he's in need of a win! *********************************************************** Tsunami vs Steven Flair Bill Buckly: There's the bell, and Steven Flair walks right up, and slaps the World Champion in the face!! Tsunami returns the favor! Flair is outraged, and he shoves a knee to the mid-section..he drops that knee on Tsunami! Flair with Reverse knife edges!! Sammy Benson: That punk kid, made the mistake of his life, when he slapped Flair! Bill Buckly: Flair, drops the knee again, but misses!! Tsunami with a cradle suplex! What a move! A chop to Steven's head, and now, the Mexican Ceiling hold! Sammy Benson: Take it from me, Buckly, that hurts... Bill Buckly: From the outside, Teri Melton rakes the eyes of Tsunami!! I've said it before, and I'll say it again, she should be banned from ringside! Sammy Benson: She's the best thing going around today! Bill Buckly: Flair with the advantage, and he delivers a gutwrench suplex! ONE.......NO! Steven, with a short right to the nose! Flair picks him up, Crotch Crusher!! OHMYGOSH! Sammy Benson: HELLO!!!! Bill Buckly: The former National Heavyweight champion, whips Tsunami to the ropes, catches him, with a Hot shot(stun gun)!! Sammy Benson: Yes!! I told ya! He's the future of the sport! Bill Buckly: Here's the cover, ONE.......TWO.......NO!! Almost...a clean pin! Flair tosses Tsunami over the top! That's cheap...wait...Tsunami flipped over...and nails Flair with a Superkick! ONE.......TWO....THRE-NO!! I don't believe it!! Teri Melton on the apron, and Tsunami drops her neck over the ropes!! Sammy Benson: I'll kill'em! Bill Buckly: This crowd, loves it! Tsunami to the top rope! He comes off with a Moonsault!! Ol' baby!(crowd pops) Sammy Benson: Get it there, Teri.... Bill Buckly: Tsunami for the pinfall, but Flair has his leg on the ropes..and that saved the match for him! The World champion, backs him into the corner, hammers a savat kick to the throat! He's climbing the ropes, again....Top Rope Frank'n'Steiner...OHMYGOSH! Sammy Benson: Come on, Steven...block all these humanoids out of your head, and get the job done! Bill Buckly: 'Nami goin' to the top again...he's set for a reverse moonsault...Teri Melton kicks the leg out...and Tsunami hits the ropes, in a rather....painful position.. Sammy Benson: That's why she's the best in the sport! Bill Buckly: Flair bounces up quickly....belly to back suplex! Sammy Benson: He's going for the kill, now! It's over.. Bill Buckly: Flair spits on some guy in the front row..and now...hooks in the STF!!! That's his finisher!! You could be correct Sammy...Tsunami looks out of it! Sammy Benson: Who called it... Bill Buckly: Flair increasing the pressure, and Pee Wee Troutman calls for the bell!! That's it, Tsunami has given up! Steven Flair wins another..he's looking strong so far, Benson.. Sammy Benson: Look at him, Buckly...he and Melton share a hug..is she the greatest or what? I knew when she took over the Corporation good things would happen...and they have! Bill Buckly: There's still a ways to go...don't forget that. ------------------------------------------------------------ BB: What a win by Steven Flair! That puts him up with the largest lead of the night as he gains twenty points to go up to 55 points! Tsunami remains in the basement with zero points. SB: Hey, no one doubts he was better than Tyler, but better than Flair? I think we just saw why Steven Flair will be the Unified Champ at the end of the night. BB: Well, we've randomly selected our next match, the seventh of this IRONMAN OF CHAMPIONS! One of the men will be wrestling his second match in a row. Let's go to Rhubarb with the introductions. RJ: This is the last match in this first half of the IRONMAN folks. It's the seventh match and features the two current World Champions recognized by the CSWA! First, the Enterprises World Heavyweight Champion, here is GUNS! And his opponent, the reigning Unified World Heavyweight Champion, TSUNAMI!!! BB: The two men enter from opposite sides of the arena!!! SB: Here come fireworks! BB: What? There are no......hey, there's Wildstar and "Hardcore" Jimmy V! Wildstar clips GUNS' bad knee from behind, and Jimmy V goes to work on him with a chair! Tsunami is laughing all the way down to the aisle! Wildstar stomps on the right knee of GUNS that has been injured multiple times in the past two months! SB: But Tsunami isn't safe either! BB: A man just jumped out of the crowd, and he's wrapped a length of rope around Tsunami's neck! He's strangling him! SB: Who is that!!!??? Johnny Tropic? BB: NO! It's the CHOSEN ONE! He issued a challenge to Tsunami earlier and now he's making it personal! SB: Is this man crazy? Did he learn nothing from his defeat at the hands of Hornet? BB: Well, he has issued a rematch challenge to Hornet. But more on that later! Jimmy V and Wildstar finally head back to the dressing rooms as security rushes down. I don't know if GUNS will be able to compete in this match or any others tonight! SB: That would be a break for Tsunami! BB: And speaking of breaks, the Chosen One also leaves the area as security comes down. Who knows if Tsunami will be able to wrestle either? SB: He better. If he loses this match, he's mathematically eliminated from staying the Unified Champion. BB: Folks, we're going to wait a few minutes while both GUNS and Tsunami are taking back to the dressing rooms. I don't know whether we'll have this match or not. But we can cover some ground while we wait. First off, Sammy, Tsunami has already been mathematically eliminated. Flair already has 55 points, the most Tsunami could get at this point would be 40. So, fans we WILL have a new Unified Champion when this card ends! And now, back to the Chosen One.... SB: Does he not realize that the last man to call Hornet a 'loser' ended up with both his legs snapped? It took security almost 15 minutes to pull Hornet and his Scorpion Deathlock off of WASP? And now the Chosen One wants back in the ring with Hornet? Hey, it's not like I like Hornet or anything, but anybody who thinks they're gonna walk in and take him out in their first match has got to be crazy. BB: Well, it looks like the Chosen One has decided to work his way up, beginning with Tsunami! Also, I just wanted to clear up one other thing. Rhubarb announced that the two World Champs recognized by the CSWA would be facing off in this one. Actually, as of earlier this week, the CSWA recognizes three World Champions. Obviously, the CSWA along with thirty some odd other leagues, recognize the Unified Championship as the top wrestling title. The CSWA recognizes GUNS, the Enterprises World Champion as its league title holder. And now, since CS Enterprises has apparently gained control of the AAWC, the CSWA recognizes the AAWC Universal Champion as a World Champion and one of the top contenders to the Unified Title. SB: And unfortunately that man is Tom Adler. BB: That's right, Sammy, "Mr. Magnificent" was able to wrest the title from Doc Silver the same night he won it. SB: Please. Adler had to wrestle the AAWC League President in his first match, and then wrestle Silver, while Silver wrestled about 15 matches to gain the title in the first place. And I thought Adler was banned from the CSWA anyway! BB: Adler was never 'banned.' He was forced to leave after losing to Scott Waters in a match with 'loser leaves town' rules. Anyway, he's wrestling in the final AAWC card under the purview of CS Enterprises. And since the EN World Championship will be on the line at UNDER NEW OWNERSHIP, the CSWA is involved as well. SB: Not to mention that Teri Melton will be in action! BB: Fans, I've just been told that Stan Parsons has some updated information on our next match. Stan? SP: Thanks, Bill. Down here in the locker rooms we've been told that Tsunami has recovered after his 'strangling' by the Chosen One. He was given some oxygen, and although his neck is probably sore, he is conscious and in good enough shape to wrestle. BB: What about GUNS? SP: Well, Bill, obviously GUNS' knee has been reinjured seriously. Trainers had been icing his knee after each match tonight, hoping to keep the swelling down. The trainers are continuing to ice his right knee. They've also covered it with a protective pad authorized by the CSWA in such cases. However, that pad does nothing except brace the knee, it certainly won't help GUNS if he gets caught by an elbow to the knee or even worse, something like a figure four leglock. Personally, I just don't see how GUNS will be able to continue. (GUNS comes through, limping rather severely, pushing Stan out of the way) GUNS: Move it or lose it Parsons. BB: Well, Stan, I guess you were wrong. GUNS has exited the dressing room and is now walking the aisle down to the ring! Tsunami is likewise doing the same. Both men are being escorted down by security to avoid any other attacks on either of them. This match is extremely important to both men. While Tsunami cannot win the IRONMAN, he certainly doesn't want to be shut out. And GUNS has already lost one match earlier tonight to Steven Flair. If he loses this one, he will only have the opportunity to gain 60 points as a maximum, and with Steven Flair already at 55 points, that probably won't be enough to win the IRONMAN and the Unified Championship. Both men are climbing into the ring right now, and the bell has rung! Tsunami charges GUNS and sends him down to the mat with a clothesline!!! Tsunami uses his momentum to jump in a single leap to the top rope! He comes off and his the downed GUNS with an ALABAMA JAM! Wow! GUNS couldn't get his knees up and he couldn't roll out of the way. He's really hurt, Sammy. Stan may have been right, he shouldn't be in that ring right now. SB: If I were GUNS, I'd give it up right now, go to the locker room and hope I didn't have another match for quite a while. BB: And while that might be a 'smart' thing to do, I have the feeling that GUNS won't go for that. Tsunami hooks on the royal octopus hold, working on the back and knee of GUNS. SB: But, the way Tsunami executes that move, he's putting more pressure on the left knee, the healthy knee, of GUNS than the injured right knee. BB: GUNS grabs the ropes, but Tsunami flips him over and puts him in the Mexican Ceiling hold! Again, Tsunami continues to work on the lower back of GUNS, as well as having some effect on that injured knee. GUNS definitely looks to be in trouble early. But again, somehow, the big man gets out of the hold. SB: Again, a bad choice of moves by Tsunami. He's too small to keep GUNS in a move like that for long. BB: But now Tsunami goes for a very smart move, the boston crab! Not only does he continue to work on the back, but he's also using the opportunity to wrench on the injured knee of GUNS as well. We could see GUNS submit as he did to Randalls at APOCALYPSE. SB: I don't think so, Bill. Like you said earlier, that may be the smart thing to do, but it's definitely not the route GUNS will choose. BB: GUNS grabs the ropes once again, and he looks to be in agony. Tsunami bends down to drag GUNS out of the ropes, but GUNS grabs Tsunami by the head and pulls him down hard! He delivers an elbow to the back of Tsunami's head, and now GUNS is using the ropes to pull himself to his feet! He does so, and now he follows with a piledriver!!!! SB: Smart move there. He's not using that knee anymore than he has to. If he can keep Tsunami on the mat, he's got a chance to stay in this match. BB: GUNS follows up with another piledriver! And now, he catches the Unified Champion with the press slam!!! SB: His knee almost gave out there! BB: And now he's following with the figure four leglock! But I don't see ow he'll be able to hold onto it with that injured knee! He's using the weight of his leg alone rather than its power to keep Tsunami locked in. But not not for long, as Tsunami grabs the ropes and quickly maneuvers out from GUNS' bulk. He grabs GUNS by the arms and again puts on the mexican ceiling hold! He will not hold it for long, however, because he's too close to the ropes. Tsunami drags GUNS to the center of the ring and hooks on the second royal octopus hold of this match. SB: GUNS has got to get out of this quickly or it's all over for him. BB: It may already be too late. Ben Worthington is asking GUNS for the submission, but the Enterprises World Champion simply grimaces, not answering the referee. I don't think we'll see him give up in this one. SB: Changing your tune, huh? BB: Tsunami lets up on the royal octopus hold, leaving the weary and wounded EN Champion in the center of the ring. The reigning Unified Champion is heading to the top. And although he will not have the gold around his waist after tonight, he's looking to defeat his second World Champion within the span of a month. Tsunami comes off the top with another Alabama Jam, catching GUNS hard to the chest with the leg drop. Tsunami hooks the leg and covers! ONE....... TWO....NO, somehow GUNS gets the shoulder up! What resilience! SB: At the risk of being mushy, that IS why they call this the IRONMAN OF CHAMPIONS. BB: Tsunami covers again with the lateral press, but he quickly gets thrown into the air. SB: GUNS still has too much upper body strength for Tsunami to win with that. BB: But now Tsunami is heading up top, where he reigns as the king of the air here in the CSWA. He comes off with the jump-splash to cover.......and lands right on top of GUNS! ONE................TWO.......................... THREE!!!!! TSUNAMI wins this one, and will not get shutout in the IRONMAN. He has his twenty points after losing his first three matches of the night. GUNS on the other hand has wrestled two, and still remains at the bottom of the scoreboard with 0 points. He definitely has his work cut out for him, and with three matches to go, we may not see him finish if his knee injury worsens. Sammy is drawing our next match! Rhubarb? RJ: Thanks again, Bill. Each of these men has wrestled twice previously tonight. This man looks to stay undefeated in the IRONMAN and raise his points total another twenty points. He is the PERFECT PACKAGE, SCOTT WATERS! His opponent enters this match with one win over the current Unified Champion, but with one loss to the former National Champion, he is the former two-time Unified Champion HORNET! BB: Hornet must feel like his past is revisiting him tonight, Sammy. First Steven Flair and now Scott Waters, two men Hornet certainly never liked in the past. SB: And I'm sure he doesn't like them any better tonight, idiot. BB: Wow, you're getting nasty as the night wears on. I thought you'd be happy after seeing Flair defeat Hornet earlier. SB: I won't be happy until I see Steven Flair with that gold around his waist where it belongs! BB: Well, these two men are his closest competition tonight. If you were smart, you'd pull for Hornet since Waters already has more points. SB: I could also wish for Hortense to sit on me, but I'm not that crazy am I? BB: Amazingly enough after the last match, both men make it down to the ring without incident. SB: What? You mean Johnny Tropic and the Chosen One decided not to attack? How disappointing. Oh well, there's always the joy later on of seeing Mark Windham career ended. BB: Um, the man just won the Unified Tag Team Championships Sammy. SB: Oh yeah, I forgot. But at least we can see him destroyed and humiliated. That should be fun enough for one night. BB: You're such an unbiased commentator, Sammy. I've never understood your obsession with hating Hornet and Windham. Have you talked to your psychiatrist about it? SB: Sure I have. He says it's perfectly reasonable, considering my childhood and all. BB: I don't even want to know. SB: (singing) "Have you seen my childhood?" BB: Um, thank you MJ. That is QUITE enough. SB: I think it would be really fun to fly in one of those boats. BB: Maybe you should go see your shrink right now, Sammy? Or just go see Windham, I'm sure he'd be happy to knock some sense into your head for you. SB: Now that wasn't very nice! BB: Tough. Both Hornet and Waters are in the ring. Referee Juan Morales calls for the bell. SB: Who is this ref anyway? And why is he calling a match of such importance??? BB: Well, think about it. Carl Young has been out of action ever since his 'incident.' And Pee Wee Troutman's license was never reinstated. We needed some new refs, so Worthington trained these new ones. SB: Oh, yeah I forgot about Carl. Is he breathing on his own yet? BB: I think so. Who knows. Waters and Hornet square off in the squared circle. Waters slaps the taste out of Hornet's mouth with a big right hand! But the former Unified Champion returns the favor and more, going off on Waters with a series of hard rights and lefts. Morales cautions Hornet, who slams Waters to the mat. Hornet quickly follows with a brainbuster! But it's still early, and Waters is on his feet. He irish whips Hornet into the ropes and catches him coming off with a big flying clothesline! Waters hooks the arms and sends Hornet for a ride with a big butterfly suplex! He then scoops the US Tag Team Champ up and presses him above his head! PRESS SLAM! Waters goes for the early cover! ONE.........no, Hornet kicks out! Both men are on their feet! They grapple, but Hornet comes away with the abdominal stretch!!! Waters grabs the ropes, breaking the hold, however. Hornet hooks in the bear hug, but Waters stuns Hornet with a big crack to the head. Waters isn't out of trouble yet however! Hornet slams him to the mat, and now he's got hold of Waters' legs! Here it comes! And it's locked in! The SCORPION DEATHLOCK! Waters could reach the ropes easily, but he's not looking for them yet. He's in too much pain! He lays down on the mat, and referee Morales counts two before he gets his shoulders up. Finally the former Presidential Champion sees his opportunity and grabs the ropes. Hornet is on his feet, and he sends Waters into the ropes. Waters ducks the clothesline and catches Hornet coming back around with a forearm shiver!!!! Waters scoops Hornet up with incredible speed and has him in the Human Torture Rack!!!! Now it is Hornet's turn to be in trouble!! Waters knows what every other wrestler in the CSWA knows, that Hornet's back is the key to his defeat! And the Torture Rack is not only Waters' finisher, but it's perfectly designed to defeat Hornet! Hornet grabs the ropes from his perch high on Waters' shoulder and Morales calls for the break! Waters pulls Hornet away from the ropes and again hooks in the Torture Rack! Hornet looks to be in serious pain and serious trouble in this one. Morales asks for the submission, but Hornet shakes his head! Waters can smell the victory. He's setting Hornet up. He doesn't release the Torture Rack, but he falls back, slamming Hornet hard to the mat and hooking the leg!!! ONE.............TWO...............THREE!!! Scott Waters defeats Hornet!!!! SB: YES!!! YES!!!! I can't believe it! Twice in a row?! It's better than I ever dreamed! BB: That keeps Hornet at 20 points with one win and two losses, while Waters will remain undefeated. With his two victories by pinfall and one victory by disqualification, Waters moves up to fifty points, just five shy of Flair's lead at 55. Both Flair and Waters have two matches remaining. However, if it came down to a tiebreaker between the two, Waters would win the IRONMAN via his DQ win over Flair. As for the other competitors, Tsunami has 20 points after his one win over GUNS and three losses. GUNS still remains with zero points, although he has three matches remaining. Alexandr Karelin has yet to hit the ring! ------------------------------------------------------------ Bill Buckly: Alright...folks...we're almost set for another match-up. Sammy, what about HORNET losing twice in one night? I believe that's a first?! Sammy Benson: It is. I've sat here week after week after week, for the last six months and told every ham and egger out there, that HORNET's career is finished! And he proved it again, tonight! Oh, how the mighty have fallen. Suck up HORNET, your days are numbered! Bill Buckly: Let's not go that far, Benson..He's still got an outside shot at winning this thing. ************************************************************ Scott Waters vs GUNS Bill Buckly: These two men, have had a vicious fued for some time now, in other federations..and the blood has spilled over to the CSWA, now. Sammy Benson: Scott Waters is my kind of man..smart, talented, and will win at all cost. Bill Buckly: You like, men? Sammy Benson: Put a cork in it, Buckly! Bill Buckly: The two men, lock horns at the middle of the ring, and its GUNS throwing Waters aside! GUNS with an elbow to the face! The Enterprise World champion whips Waters into the ropes, and catches him with a Shoulderblock! He's so powerfull! Sammy Benson: He's big alright, but as to how he got that big, only he knows.. Bill Buckly: GUNS, with a Piledriver!! This could be over, before it ever really started! ONE......TWO...NO!! Scott Waters gets the shoulder up, just in time! GUNS scoops the Perfect Package up, POWERSLAM!! Sammy Benson: He's taking, Waters apart..I won't my money back.. Bill Buckly: Waters, rakes the eyes..and for the moment that backs GUNS off..Scott POWERBOMBS the EN champ! OHMYGOSH! ONE........TWO......NO! Now, its' Waters going to work...with a Reverse Neckbreaker! Sammy Benson: He might have just broken GUNS' neck! Bill Buckly: Waters' going for his finisher...the Human Torture Rack!! And he got it! He's got the Strongest Arms in the World, up in the Human Torture Rack! Sammy Benson: No way, that loud mouth GUNS is getting out of this one.. Bill Buckly: You're calling someone a loud mouth...that's like the kettle calling the pot black.. Bill Buckly: Waters breaks the Torture Rack on his own accord..he's hooked GUNS in a full nelson.. Sammy Benson: If Scott Waters is doing this to him, just imagine what would happen if Joey Melton got his hands on him. Bill Buckly: Waters, has a full-nelson, to a GERMAN SUPLEX!! What a move! This could be it, ONE.....TWO...NO, NOT THREE!! GUNS has been hit with a whirl wind flurrish of moves.. Sammy Benson: It other words, he's getting his butt kicked. Communication is a dieing art in this country.. Bill Buckly: Scott Waters sends GUNS to the ropes, goes for a clothesline, but GUNS ducks and rocks Waters with one of his own! Sammy Benson: I don't like this at all... Bill Buckly: The EN World champ, with a Powerslam!! Sammy, it looks as if, he's gotten his second wind.. Sammy Benson: Just my luck, the man actually has guts.. Bill Buckly: GUNS has Waters in a piledriver position, TOMBSTONE PILEDRIVER!! Sammy Benson: He buried Waters' head into the mat! He might me out cold! Bill Buckly: For the win, ONE........TWO....THR-NO! I thought he had him, right there! Sammy Benson: Well, you also think Jimmy Walker has had work in the last 10 years.. Bill Buckly: GUNS, pumps his fist in the arm, and this sell-out crowd at Fish Fund Park responds! GUNS with a DDT! What a move! That's gotta be all, ONE.......TWO.......NO!! Waters' kicks out, yet again! Sammy Benson: The man's got more lives, than Morris the freakin' cat! Bill Buckly: GUNS, with another Tombstone Piledriver! And this time, he hooks the leg! ONE.........TWO.....WATERS' GETS A SHOULDER UP! Sammy Benson: We're seeing a classic..Buckly..both men want this match, badly..bacause they no the loser of this match, in all likely hood can kiss the belt goodbye! Bill Buckly: Guns, sends Waters to the outside! Both men are outside the ring! GUNS rams Scott's head into the iron post! Sammy Benson: I'm not sure, if Waters knows what day it is right now! Bill Buckly: GUNS rams Scott's head into the staircase! And he's drawn blood! He sends the Perfect Package over the railing and into the front row! He's lost his mind! Sammy Benson: That happened a long time ago...he needs to be in a institution as it is.. Bill Buckly: Waters making his way out of the front row, and Guns is there with a chair, but Scott kicks away at the right knee! Now, it's Waters with the chair, and he levels him with it! Sammy Benson: That had to hurt..holy cow!! Bill Buckly: What!!?? Sammy Benson: That man over there, is foaming at the mouth! Bill Buckly: Isn't that??? Sammy Benson: Yes it is! It's CSWA BOD member Mike Ventolo! Bill Buckly: ahhhhhhhh....Waters rolls GUNS back in the ring. But, he's up first and kicks Waters in the head! GUNS with another DDT! Sammy Benson: Hey, Mike....clean yourself up, boy! Bill Buckly: GUNS climbs to the top!! FLYING BODY PRESS!! Here's the cover, ONE......TWO.....THREE!!!! The EN World champion has defeated Scott Waters!! Sammy Benson: He hooked the tights, that much was obivious! Bill Buckly: He did not! GUNS takes a step to becoming THE World champion! Sammy Benson: It's not over till Mrs. Ventolo sings! Bill Buckly: Sammy, we're seeing some all out battles! Sammy Benson: What did you expect..these men are competing for the most prized possession in the World today! And I think it's safe to say we ain seen nothing yet! Bill Buckly: I think you're right, Sammy. Both HORNET and Tsunami have held this Championship before, but for the others, this tourney could make or break their career! Sammy Benson: Like HORNET's...his has been broken! It's over, punk, turn in your wrestling liscense, and head back to Chapel Hill! Bill Buckly: That's enough out of you, Benson! ************************************************************ Alexandr Karelin vs Tsunami Bill Buckly: We're finally going to see Karelin in action tonight..any thoughts? Sammy Benson: I've always got something on my mind, and if your lucky I'll tell you what it is... Bill Buckly: I'm waiting... Sammy Benson: Oh...Here goes..Karelin's without out a doubt a guy who will be leading the CSWA into the 21st century! He's got it all...but it might take time to develop it! And tonight, he's at a real disadvantage. Everybody else in the Ironman have already wrestled between two and three times! Where as Alexandr now, is stepping into the ring for the first time...in this first match, that's going to be an advantage, but after that...he's in trouble. Bill Buckly: Dare I say, good point, Sammy. Karelin is managed by Mad Mike...Mike thus far has had a disappointing Fish Fund! His Berzerk Beachcombers lost the the World Tag Belts, to CLAW!! Sammy Benson: I'm still wondering how that happened! Bill Buckly: But, right now, he's got bigger and better things to deal with! His main man, has a shot at the Unified World title! Sammy Benson: A shot? With Steven Flair in the tourney...I don't think so! Bill Buckly: We're about ready to get this match, underway.. Sammy Benson: Come on, Karelin, show us what you got, son! Bill Buckly: There's the bell, and Tsunami, who is a buttload of points behind, has jumped the gun and is all over Karelin!! Sammy Benson: That's what I like to see..Tsunami taking advantage of the stituation and being aggression...of course with a man the size of Karelin, he's going to have to hook the tights when he pins... Bill Buckly: Sammy!!! Sammy Benson: What? Bill Buckly: Tsnuami with a series of savat kicks! That send the young Russian to the mat! The Unified champion, with a belly to back suplex! But, Karelin pops right back up!! Sammy Benson: Kick him in the groin, kid... Bill Buckly: Will you shut up?! Sammy Benson: He did just that!! I love it! Bill Buckly: Tsunami with another Belly to back suplex! And this time, he's going for the cover, ONE........TWO...NO! He had Alexandr stunned, but it's going to take more than that.... Sammy Benson: The World champ, muscles Karelin to the corner....this is where he does the dirty work..! Bill Buckly: Dirty work is right..Tsunami with a few closed fist to the head, and now and knee to the groin, again. He whips Karelin to the Turnbuckle, but Alexandr comes out with a Russian Sickle... Sammy Benson: Where'd that come from? Bill Buckly: I'm not sure...Karelin goes for his finisher, the GERMAN SUPLEX AND BRIDGE!! This could be all, ONE..... TWO..........THREE!!!!!! Alexandr Karelin has won his first match of the night! How quickly the tide can turn... Sammy Benson: Tsunami's reign as Unified World Champion has come to an end! Bill Buckly: It was a short stint, for the kid..but he'll bounce back, I'm sure of it.. ---------------------------------------------------------- BB: What an amazing win for Alexandr Karelin. I've never seen anybody hook in a german suplex and power somebody over that quick for the pin! In Karelin's first match he gets the win, and the quick twenty points. Let's go down to Stan Parsons just inside the dressing room area. SP: Bill, I'm here with the CSWA Presidential Champion. Alexandr, that was an incredible win over the current Unified Champion. AK: Do you think you're telling me anything I don't know, Parsons? Tsunami is finished! He was never a match for me or anyone else in this tournament! SP: That win was also the quickest we've seen tonight. How will the chance you've had to be rested until now effect this IRONMAN? AK: Stan, it's doesn't matter. Whether I had to wrestle the first five matches or the last five, or all those in between, I'm still going to walk out of here tonight the Unified Champion. And while I'm thinking about it, Parsons....(pulls off the Presidential belt and drops it into Stan's hands)....why don't you take this back to wherever it belongs, because it won't be around my waist after tonight! SP: There ya have it, Bill. Strong statements and even stronger actions by Karelin! BB: We're coming up on the eleventh match in this IRONMAN OF CHAMPIONS. Alexandr Karelin could have to wrestle these next four matches in succession. He's already got twenty early points. If he can defeat the two leaders, Waters and Flair, he'll be able to take the lead, as well as win any tiebreakers. SB: But that's much harder than it sounds. BB: True. He also has to contend with GUNS and Hornet, who he is currently tied with. Both GUNS and Hornet have only their matches with each other and Karelin remaining. Flair and Waters also have just one match remaining, that one against Karelin. Let's see if Karelin will have to make it two in a row. Rhubarb? RJ: Up next, the Presidential Champion wrestles his second match in a row against the former National Champion who is making a run towards the Unified Championship! ALEXANDR KARELIN faces STEVEN FLAIR after this announcement! ----------------------------------------------------------- BB: This upcoming match could be a HUGE deciding factor in determining who the Unified Champion will be at the end of the night. If Karelin wins this match, he could be as little as one match away from gaining the lead in this IRONMAN. Should Flair win the match, he would add significantly to his lead, putting himself out of the reach of all but Karelin; and even if they tied, he would win the IRONMAN by virtue of his win over Karelin. So, without any further adieu, here is the eleventh match in the IRONMAN OF CHAMPIONS! The bell rings and the two men lock up! Karelin definitely has the upper hand strength-wise in this one, and he shows it, coming out on top with a belly to belly suplex! He quickly follows with a belly to back, sending Flair back down to the mat. Flair is on his feet quickly, but Karelin NAILS him with a russian sickle! Flair goes through the second rope and down hard to the floor! Karelin follows him out! SB: Yeah, but he forgot about Teri Melton!! Go Teri, go Teri, go! BB: Thank you Grandmaster Benson. Karelin did indeed forget about Teri, who catches the Presidential Champion with a shoe to the head just as Karelin was about to belly to belly suplex Flair! Flair jabs his knee into Karelin's side, and then scoops him up! Hold on, Teri Melton is pulling back the mat to reveal the concrete floor! The referee is making his way out of the ring, but he's too late, as Flair belly to back suplexes Karelin onto the concrete! He could get disqualified for that one! But referee Morales warns Flair and orders him back in the ring. It looks like the referees have decided to let these six men wrestle this IRONMAN out unless there's a severe action that requires a disqualification. Karelin is slow on his feet, but he quickly follows Morales back in the ring. Flair charges, but Karelin sidesteps him and grabs the former National Champion, hooking in the abdominal stretch! SB: NO! No, no, no! BB: Flair is stuck in the middle of the ring in the extremely painful ad stretch. Teri is on the outside with a concerned look on her face. But since the men aren't outside the ring, she can't do a thing! SB: Don't be so sure of that! BB: Flair finally maneuvers his way out of the abdominal stretch, and catches Karelin with a belly to belly suplex! Now Flair uses his speed to hook in the figure four leglock! And now Karelin is in trouble again! However, he quickly grabs the ropes. Flair pulls him away, still holding on to his legs and now Flair cinches in the boston crab! But again, Karelin grabs the ropes and Morales calls for the break. Flair isn't letting Karelin get to his feet, though. Morales orders Flair to let go, but instead, Steven Flair pulls Karelin to the center of the ring and now he hooks in the STF! This could be the end for Alexandr Karelin! SB: You better believe it! Steven Flair is going to be the next Unified Heavyweight Champion!!! Better than GUNS, better than Adler, better than Hornet, better than Windham!!!! BB: But Flair is having trouble holding on to his STF leglock on Karelin. Karelin is using his incredible leg strength to fight against Flair's upper body strength. Flair seems to be losing the battle, and finally he is forced to the mat as Karelin powers out of the STF! Karelin quickly hooks in the abdominal stretch! SB: Not a smart move. Karelin needs some time to rest, and he can't do it while trying to maintain and ad stretch. Plus, he can't go outside because Teri is there. So basically, Karelin is doomed to lose! BB: I wouldn't be so sure of that, Sammy. Karelin lets up on the ad stretch and moves to scoop Flair up for a slam, but Flair blocks the maneuver and instead it is Karelin who gets belly to belly suplexed onto the mat! But Karelin is back on his feet, and he quickly scoops up Flair and puts him to the mat with a powerslam! But again, both men are on their feet at the same time. Karelin hooks Flair and sends him up in the air for a delayed suplex! But both men took some punishment on that one, and Flair is able to deliver a knee lift into the ribs of Karelin. Karelin shrugs it off, and again gets to his feet, hooking the head of Flair and sending him up and then down with the vertical suplex. Flair is stunned after that one, and now Karelin picks up the IRONMAN leader thus far and sits him on the top turnbuckle! Karelin climbs to the second rope and hooks the head! Flair tries to fight out of it, but Karelin has too much power, there's the SUPERPLEX! Karelin quickly hooks the leg and covers! ONE................ TWO.........NO, Steven Flair gets his right shoulder up! Karelin doesn't follow up with another pin, instead he's waiting for Flair to get to his feet, measuring him for the ......Russian Sickle! Again, Karelin rolls up Flair! ONE.........TWO................NO, Flair gets his foot on the ropes. Morales motions to let Karelin know what happened, but Karelin thinks he's won the match! Flair is up and he clips Karelin's knee! Karelin falls and now Flair hooks in the STF!!!! Morales is asking Karelin if he wants to give, but the big Russian doesn't answer. Instead, he finally reaches the ropes and Morales calls for the break. Flair does break, but not after delivering a knee lift as a parting shot. SB: Come on Flair, take it to him! BB: Flair still seems shaking from that earlier superplex. Karelin makes it to his feet and the two lock up. Karelin comes out on top with a suplex, sending Flair crashing to the mat! That is where Flair has been dominated in this match, when the two men lock up head to head. Karelin hooks in the abdominal stretch, and while Flair grabs for the ropes, he just can't reach them! Karelin lets up on the ad stretch and powers Flair up to his shoulder! This could be it! POWERBOMB!!!!! SB: NO! Get up Flair, get up! BB: Karelin hooks the left leg of Flair and covers! Morales slides to the mat to count it! ONE................TWO.............................. NO! Flair gets his foot on the ropes again! But Karelin isn't letting him go so easily. He gets behind Flair and hooks the arms. He's pulling Flair down with a back slide! ONE........TWO.....no, Flair rolls out just before the three-count! Karelin is on his feet, and he irish whips Flair chest first into the corner turnbuckle! Karelin follows in and sets Flair up on the top turnbuckle yet again! He follows, SUPERPLEX! That's the second one of this match. It's over, Sammy. SB: NO!! NO!!! BB: Morales counts. ONE........TWO.......NO, somehow Flair gets his right shoulder up! I was sure he was done for, Sammy! Karelin pulls Flair to his feet and sends him into the ropes. Karelin comes off and hits with a flying body press!!! ONE.........TWO........NO, again, Flair gets the shoulder up, using Karelin's momentum against him. Karelin looks furious! He yells something in Russian at the referee and then turns back to Flair. He's setting him up! SB: Roll out, Flair! BB: GERMAN SUPLEX AND BRIDGE! That's how Karelin defeated Tsunami! ONE..........TWO..........THREE!!!!! ALEXANDR KARELIN gets the win! Let's head to Rhubarb Jones who will announce the point totals so far. RJ: We are through with eleven matches out of the total fifteen in this second ever IRONMAN OF CHAMPIONS! Only four matches remain: Alexandr Karelin vs. Hornet, Alexandr Karelin vs. GUNS, GUNS vs. Hornet, and Alexandr Karelin vs. Scott Waters. The point standings so far are as follows: Having completed all five of his IRONMAN matches, Tsunami ends the night with 20 points via his win by pinfall over GUNS. GUNS is currently in last place with 20 points via his win by pinfall over Scott Waters. Because of his loss to Tsunami, Tsunami wins the tiebreaker between the two. GUNS has wrestled three matches with two remaining. Hornet also has twenty points from his win over Tsunami. Like GUNS, he has two matches remaining, one against Karelin and one against GUNS. Alexandr Karelin is undefeated thus far in the IRONMAN, having won both of his matches against Flair and Tsunami. He is currently ranked third with 40 points, however, he has more matches remaining, three, than any other competitor. Scott Waters is currently ranked third with 50 points, from his two wins by pinfall over Tsunami and Hornet, coupled with his disqualification win over Steven Flair. Waters has one match remaining, where he will face Karelin. Steven Flair, even with the loss he just suffered to Karelin, is in the lead of the IRONMAN. He has defeated Hornet and Tsunami by pinfall, and GUNS by countout, giving him a total of 55 points. BB: Thanks Rhubarb. Flair is sitting in the lead, but he's not sitting pretty after that loss to Karelin. Waters and Karelin have a matchup still remaining, and that could very well decide who the Unified Champion is! And Flair has lost to both men, so even in the event of a tie, he wouldn't be the Unified Champion. And of course, there are always GUNS and Hornet sitting back with their two matches to go that could become crucial. SB: Don't count Flair out, Buckley. He wants to win this tournament, and whether he's done wrestling for the night or not, he may have a few tricks up his sleeve. BB: I wouldn't count on that. If he interferes in the Waters/Karelin match, it could easily backfire on him. Flair needs for one of these men to win by DQ or for them to end up both getting counted out. I think he'll sit back and see what happens. And fans, we're going to have the chance to see what happens right now! The next match up is between ALEXANDR KARELIN and SCOTT WATERS! You could see the crowning of a Unified Champion right here fans! SB: Just think of that. Waters becoming the Unified Champion with Tom Adler the AAWC Universal Champion. The two men we thought we'd never see wrestle each other again... BB: You're right, Sammy. It could all hinge on this match. Whether Waters or Karelin take the title, or they leave the door open for GUNS and Hornet, or they leave Flair in the lead. Anything could happen! SB: Again, I don't want to be mushy, but that is why they call this... BB: Yeah, yeah, shut up. SB: You don't have to be rude! BB: Right, but I want to be. Karelin and Waters are on their way to the ring. The referee for this match is once again Juan Morales. SB: I still can't believe a rookie ref is calling these matches. BB: Juan isn't a rookie, he's called matches for years. SB: Really? Where? The HCW? BB: Don't start with the HCW jokes again. SB: Why not? They're funny. BB: There's the bell, and it is Karelin who comes out on top first with the abdominal stretch. These two men are matched for power as well as speed. Waters quickly powers out of the ad stretch, and then hooks in a full nelson of his own on Karelin. But the former Olympic Gold Medalist quickly powers out, and once again Waters finds himself locked in the painful abdominal stretch. And this time, he isn't able to power out as easily. In fact, he doesn't power out at all, Karelin releases the hold and quickly puts Waters up on his back in the backbreaker. But Waters quickly rolls out and stays on his feet. SB: Mistake by Karelin. Waters is the master of the Torture Rack. He knows it backwards and forwards. BB: Waters clips the knee, sending Karelin down, and enabling the former Presidential Champ to hook in the figure four leglock on the current Presidential Champion. Both these men want badly to become the Unified Champion. SB: They don't want to be relegated to the Presidential Title. After all, it is the title that Mickey Benedict had forever. BB: Karelin finally grabs the ropes breaking the hold. He hobbles to his feet, drawing Waters in and then hooking in the third abdominal stretch of this match. He's really working on the lower back of Scott Waters. But Waters again grabs the ropes, breaking the hold. Karelin tries to irish whip Waters into the ropes, but Waters reverses it. Karelin goes into the ropes, and Waters nails him on his way back with a flying clothesline! Waters hits Karelin with a german suplex and hooks the leg! ONE...... NO, Karelin kicks out. It looks like Waters was looking for the quick win with Karelin's own move. Karelin is on his feet, but Waters sets him down quickly with the Implant DDT! Again, Waters hooks the leg and covers. ONE......and again, Karelin powers out. Waters is setting up Karelin for another Implant DDT, but Karelin reads him, locks him up and sends him down lightning quick with the GERMAN SUPLEX! He bridges over for the pin! This could be it! SB: NO! BB: ONE........no, Waters powers out, and the two men roll to their feet. Waters short clotheslines Karelin, and then rolls Karelin up on his own back! HUMAN TORTURE RACK!!!! Waters recovered from Karelin's own finisher and hooked in his own! But can he hold on to it long enough to get the submission. Morales is asking Karelin if he wants to quit the match, but Karelin furiously shakes his head. He's trying to power out, but Waters won't let him. Finally, Waters can hold the writhing Karelin anymore and lets go. But Karelin doesn't fall to the mat, he lands on his feet just as Waters did earlier! He surprises Waters as he turns around! SNAP SUPLEX by the reigning Presidential Champ. Karelin tries to follow but gets hooked by Waters for the german suplex! The cover doesn't even get a one count. And Karelin is back on his feet first. He pulls Waters up and hooks in the backbreaker!!!! But he quickly turns Waters around on his shoulder! POWERBOMB!!! I can't believe it, he just did a backbreaker/powerbomb combo! He hooks the leg! ONE........TWO.......NO, Waters kicks out. Karelin follows by hooking in the inside cradle to pin. ONE.......TWO.....Waters kicks out. Karelin follows with a lateral press! ONE........WAters is out. Karelin moves behind Waters and hooks the arms just as he did in his last match with Flair! He's got the back slide hooked in with Waters' shoulders to the mat! ONE.......... TWO...........THREE!!!!! Alexandr Karelin wins his third match in a row! SB: NO! This can't be happening! BB: That puts Karelin in the lead of this IRONMAN with sixty points! He may have it wrapped up after this win! Scott Waters finishes his five matches with a total of 50 points, so he can finish no better than third, and more importantly, he cannot win the UNIFIED Title. In the same boat is Steven Flair, whose 55 points after five matches aren't good enough to catch Karelin either. The current Presidential Title said earlier that he didn't matter how many matches he had to wrestle in a row, and he's proved it with three straight solid wins by pinfall. And he still has two matches remaining against GUNS and Hornet. If he wins either one of those matches, he will automatically becoem the new Unified Champion! Should he lose both, either GUNS or Hornet would still have a chance to catch up and tie. We'll be back with our next match! ----------------------------------------------------------- RJ: We are down to the last three matches of this IRONMAN OF CHAMPIONS! First, making his way to the ring, is the man who not only the current Presidential Champion, but also the leader of this IRONMAN, he is ALEXANDR KARELIN! His opponent is the man looking to become a three-time Unified Champion, the only man in history to do so. He is, The One, The Only, HORNET!!!! BB: This match is one that we've all waited to see. SB: I'm gonna smack you if you say that again. BB: Shut up, Benson. I'm getting tired of you. SB: Oh no, you're hurting my feelings. And you might want to call the action. BB: What action? Oh! Fans, Mad Mike and the Berzerk Beachcombers have just run down the aisle behind Hornet, and they're doing a number on him! Karelin is in the ring already, laughing as Hornet is being stomped on! The Beachcombers set him up and send Hornet down onto the concrete with a double suplex! They're going after his back! Now they're stomping on the back of the current US Tag Champ. Wait a minute! Here comes the calvary from the dressing rooms. It's.......wait a minute, it's....midgets?? SB: NO! You've got to be kidding me! BB: The Mighty Morphin Midgets, the friends of Junior Hornet, have run down the aisle, and they're karate kicking the Beachcombers! Two midgets a piece, I think the blue and the red midgets have the Hawaiian Hurricane down on his knees and they double DDT him! And the yellow and blue midgets have the Big Kahuna on the ground, and they're jumping up and down on his stomach! The white midget is dragging Mad Mike back to the dressing room by his hair!!! The Beachcombers follows, and now three of the midgets are making sure Hornet is okay! SB: I cannot believe this is happening. BB: And judging from the look on Hornet's face, either can he. He thanks the midgets, looks at the crowd and shrugs his shoulders. Now he's back on his way down to the ring. But you have to think that double suplex to the concrete has taken something out of him. SB: We can certainly hope so, although from everything I've seen from "Bugbrain," as GUNS calls him, it may not slow him down. BB: Both men are in the ring. Morales is checking with Hornet to make sure he is alright after the attack. Morales warns Karelin, but Karelin doesn't wait! He pushes Morales out of the way and charges Hornet! He catches Hornet with a shoulderblock to the ribs, knocking the wind out of the already winded Hornet! Karelin scoops up Hornet onto his shoulders! POWERBOMB!!!! We could be seeing the changing of the guard if Karelin finishes off Hornet this early! That would be three losses in a row for Hornet, something I have NEVER seen happen! Karelin's going for it all here! GERMAN SUPLEX!!!! He BRIDGES it over! Can Hornet get the shoulder up? The count! We may have a new Unified Champion right here! ONE................................................... TWO....................................................... (missing note) ----------------------------------------------------------- (Hornet/Karelin continues; IRONMAN MATCH #13) SB: Did I just hear something snap? BB: I hope not! Referee Juan Morales has called for the bell. Did he stop the match or was there a submission? If Morales stopped the match, Hornet may only receive 15 points for a countout. Let's go to Rhubarb for the final result. RJ: The winner of this match by virtue of submission to the Scorpion Deathlock is HORNET! BB: The crowd is on their feet! What a great match from both men with Hornet coming out on top. That's the second match they've wrestled in a week. The first had no clearcut decision. SB: If Hornet wins the Unified Championship again, I think I may kill myself. BB: Well, there's another reason for the fans to cheer. SB: I'm really gonna have to smack the taste out of your mouth before this one is over. BB: Fans, we're coming down to the home stretch! Let's go down to Stan Parsons before our next match. SP: Bill, Sammy, I'm here with the man who just exited the ring victorious, Hornet! Hornet, you really needed that victory. H: Stan, your comments are about as dumb as Rudy's. Of course I needed that victory. And I need one more in order to win this thing. SP: How likely is that? H: The way I figure it, I've got as good a chance as GUNS does. He's a great wrestler, but I've beaten him before. SP: At the AAWC's Wrestlefest. In fact, you stopped him from becoming the AAWC's Universal Champion. H: I figure it's only fair. He's the same man who attacked me after I won the AAWC Unified Title, and then again on two other occasions. Now with the AAWC closing down, I'm looking forward to getting my hands on him here in the CSWA. SP: I bet. Well, I'll let you go, Hornet, since you may have that chance in our next match! Back to you, Bill. BB: And we're just about ready for that next match. I can't believe we're near the end of the night. It seems like it's been a MONTH of wrestling action rather than a night. SB: I second that motion! BB: Back to the standings: Hornet's win over Karelin boosts him to 40 points after four matches. Both Hornet and Karelin have one match remaining, while GUNS has two matches, one against both men. Fortunately for GUNS and his knee, the upcoming "Mickey's Challenge" match for Mark Windham will allow him to have a rest in between his last two matches. Let's go to Rhubarb to tell us which of the two remaining matches we're going to see. RJ: The upcoming match is the fourteenth match in the IRONMAN OF CHAMPIONS! A new Unified World Champion will be determined by one or both of these matches. The first man is wrestling his FIFTH straight match! He has won three, and hopes to avenge the loss he just received against Hornet to become the Unified World Champion. He is ALEXANDR KARELIN! His opponent is looking to get his second win in this IRONMAN, he has the Strongest Arms In The World and is the current EN World Champion, GUNS! Bill Buckly: It's Karelin and GUNS, Sammy! And, the let's restate the obvious. If Alexandr Karelin wins, he's the NEW Unified World Heavyweight Champion! Sammy Benson: Who would've thought it? That some side-show of a Russian circus, might win the most sought after championship on the face of God's green earth! Bill Buckly: He's heardly a side-show..Karelin, just minutes ago, suffered his 1st defeated in the CSWA! And that's after he's gone on to win the Presidential title, as well as putting himself in great shape to win the Unified World Heavyweight title! Sammy Benson: Yea, but he couldn't finish HORNET! The kid had the chump for the pin, but he let the former champ up! At the rate, HORNET's going, he'll be finished by the end of the month! Bill Buckly: You can cry all you want about HORNET, but let's be fair, the man's hurt! Sammy Benson: Cry me a river, Buckly! Bill Buckly: Sammy, we talked about the advantage Alexandr would have, earlier. He had to wrestle his five matches in a row..and to be honest, his first three, he looked like the fresher man. Of course, those account for his three wins to this point. But, against HORNET, he looked a bit tired.. Sammy Benson: Use some common sense, Buckly. The man's been out there for an hour and a half straight. Bill Buckly: Here we go....GUNS has had a while to rest..and right away he attacks the worn down Karelin! GUNS clubs him with his right arm! Sammy Benson: Those are the largest Arms in the world! Bill Buckly: What insight!? The EN World champ with a headbutt, that sends Karelin to the corner! He wants this win! Sammy, let's not forget that GUNS' chances of winning the title, are still alive and well!! Sammy Benson: Yea, and the Twins are still in the pennant race! Bill Buckly: GUNS whips Alexandr to the corner, and catches him a lariat!! What a move! GUNS with a DDT!! He could have him right there! One......two......no!! Almost, Benson! Almost! Sammy Benson: He didn't get'em! (Note: missing post) --------------------------------------------------------- (Karelin/GUNS cont...) Bill Buckly: I'm not sure what GUNS is thinking? He had Karelin beaten? Sammy Benson: Why me?? Why? Bill Buckly: GUNS has Karelin up, Powerbomb!!! That has to do it! ONE.........TWO...........TH-NO! HOLYCOW! Alexandr Karelin stays alive! He wants that Unified title! GUNS climbs to the Top Rope! Sammy Benson: No! What's he doing up there? Bill Buckly: GUNS with a elbow from the top, no!! Karelin moves out of the way!(crowd pops) What a match! Sammy Benson: This is a classic, Buckly! The Russian with a sleeper!! Bill Buckly: Karelin, is trying become the NEW Unified Champion and he might do it right now! He's got the sleeper hold, hooked on tight! GUNS drops down, and Karelin busts his chin on his head! Sammy Benson: Nice! Smart move by a rather dumb man! Bill Buckly: GUNS with a vertical suplex! A Tombstone Piledriver! He's trying anything he can at this point! Sammy Benson: And he should, the Unified World title is at stake! Bill Buckly: He whips Alexandr to the ropes, flying shoulderblock! GUNS hooks the tights, and tries for another suplex...wait, Karelin rolls him up in a small package! ONE .....TWO.....GUNS, REVERSES THE MOVE, AND ROLLS KARELIN UP, ONE...................TWO............THREE!!! HE'S DONE IT! GUNS pulls out the win! Sammy Benson: Yes, Steven Flair's the NEW champion!! Bill Buckly: Uh, Sammy? Sammy Benson: Yea.. Bill Buckly: That's not possible.. Sammy Benson: What? Bill Buckly: Flair can't win the title.... Sammy Benson: Come again..... Bill Buckly: Well, Karelin finishes at 60 points! He's in the lead...but GUNS has one match left, and that's against HORNET!! So, if GUNS wins, he's the NEW Unified Heavyweight champion! But, if HORNET wins, Karelin is the NEW champion! Sammy Benson: Well, nevermind then... Bill Buckly: Feel better...? Sammy Benson: NO! Bill Buckly: Too bad...fans, it's time for the one we've all waited for! Mickey Benedict vs. Mark Windham, career vs. nickname! Sammy Benson: Yes, Benedict's revenge! --------------------------------------------------------- BB: What a match between Karelin and GUNS! There is one match left in this IRONMAN OF CHAMPIONS. Let me set up a little of the history for any of you fans who might be new to the CSWA. Mickey Benedict and Mark Windham have a long history of hating each other over the past years. More recently their feud heated up. At Labor Day Layout '94 in September 1994, the whole world waited to see the matchup between Mark Windham and Hornet for the Unified Title. It was mandated that there must be a winner. Hornet was trying regain his title, while the newly crowned Unified Champ Windham was trying to keep it. Throughout 1994, Windham had been acting a little 'strangely', sneak attacking anyone and everyone he decided to. That prompted many, especially Mickey Benedict to call Mark "The Living Psycho," rather than "The Living Legend." At Labor Day Layout, it all came down to the last fall of the match. Mickey Benedict was at the commentators table helping call the match. During his play-by-play he inadvertently let the words "The Living Psycho" come out of his mouth. Windham, who seemed to have the match under control with Hornet down on the mat, went to the ring apron to yell at Benedict. He hoisted Benedict up to the apron by his necktie and began yelling at him. Benedict, in trying to get away, used the microphone in his hand to pop Windham in the head. At the same time, Hornet, unaware of what had happened, rolled Windham up and got the win and the Unified World Title. That set up a meeting between the two at Winter's Warriors VI earlier this year. The feud escalated. Windham attacked Benedict during press conferences, in the locker room. Finally, the two men signed a match. An electrified steel cage match with Mickey's career versus Windham's nickname, "The Living Legend." As an added stipulation, Windham had to pin Mickey in under ten minutes....with one arm tied behind his back. The match was all Windham. But Mickey held on just past the ten minute mark, thus getting the win. But while Mickey may have won the match and the nickname, he did indeed lose his career. Mark Windham whipped Benedict across the ring and into the electrified steel cage, where Mickey was electrocuted. Since that match, both men have been brooding. Windham has hardly wrestled except in tag team matches, and Benedict has been silent. Until just two weeks ago. Mickey Benedict, now out of the hospital, but still in a wheelchair, called a press conference to challenge Windham to one final match. Benedict put the one thing he had to offer on the table, the title of "The Living Legend." Windham couldn't refuse the challenge, and Mickey knew it. Since Mickey can't wrestle, he devised the "Mickey's Challenge" match. Benedict has been authorized by the CSWA to choose ANY wrestler under its purview. Mark Windham will have to wrestle whoever Mickey chooses if he wants to get his nickname back. And for Windham, his nickname truly IS his career. It took him quite a while to establish his dominance and become known as "The Living Legend." He's ready, for the first time in a long while, to go all out to win this match. When we return, Mickey Benedict makes his challenge! ---------------------------------------------------------- RJ: Fans, this one of tonight's MAIN EVENTS. Now making his way down to the ring, accompanied by CSWA security, here is "THE LIVING LEGEND" MICKEY BENEDICT! SB: Ah, just the way I always wanted to see Benedict, in a wheelchair. BB: That's cruel, Sammy. SB: And? BB: Mickey is being wheeled into the ring by CSWA security. They'll have to lift his wheelchair over the ropes to get him in to make his announcement. SB: And they better be ready to lift him out quickly, because if Windham gets close enough to get his hands on Benedict, he may end up even worse off than he is now! Benedict is lucky that he may be able to walk again one day. Windham could have done much worse than that electrified steel cage, and he still could. BB: You're probably right. Windham wants his wrestling career back again, and the only way he can do that is to be "The Living Legend." Here's Benedict with his announcement! MB: Well wrestling fans, I guess you're wondering why an old washed up former wrestler is back out here. I guess you're wondering why I've bothered to be involved in the wrestling world anymore now that I can't even walk. I should be enjoying my retirement. I should be doing endorsements, public speaking engagements, maybe even running for political office, right? Wrong. I'm here for one reason and one reason only, because I can't rest until I pay back all the debts I owe. And I've only got one debt outstanding, folks. One man that I owe quite a lot to. That man is Mark Windham. Notice I didn't say "The Living Legend." Because that's not what he is. He never was, and he never will be again. Mark Windham's career is washed up. He'll never again be what he was: the Unified Champion, the four-time US Champion. From now until forever, he'll only be remembered as the man who snapped under the pressure, the man known as "The Living Psycho." Tonight I'm going paid the debt I owe Mark Windham in full. I owe him for stealing the National Championship from me years ago. I owe him for helping destroy my relationship with my one true love. I owe him for finally ending my career, and for costing me my legs. I owe him for forcing me to find out what it means to be an invalid, to have to have someone come and change your bedpan every day... SB: Good Lord, someone stop him! And please, nobody give that man a drink! MB: So, Mark, come on out, come see what surprise I have in store for you, because I want to see the smile wiped off your face. I want to see the horror on your face when I tell you who is going to be responsible for ending your career. BB: The dressing room curtain is pulled back, and there is MARK WINDHAM!! The crowd here is on its feet, they are ready to see Windham in singles action for the first time in quite a while! Windham just stands outside that curtain. And now he's slowly walking towards the ring. Slowly advancing toward where Mickey Benedict sits. Security blocks his way when he gets about halfway down. SB: They know he wants a piece of Mickey's hide! MB: Well, Mark, here we are again. One more time in the ring. I'm sorry I won't be able to be there in person. But I think you'll find my replacement a worthy opponent. MW: Get on with it, Mickey. Let's go so I can show you what a worthless piece of trash your life has always been. MB: You won't be saying that when your career has been ended after tonight. MW: You have about as much chance of ending my career as I do of getting rid of your hemmorroids, Mickey. And let me make it clear that I have no intentions of putting my hands anywhere in the vicinity of your stinking hemmorroids! MB: Joke all you want to, my young little psychopath friend, but I think it's time to introduce you to your competition. MW: Do you think so really? Now that you've bored half the free world with your little diatribe? Get on with it. MB: Patience, patience. You know, when I was thinking of who to send against you, quite a few names came quickly to mind. Hornet was first of course. I'd love to see you two try and kill each other again, but unfortunately you're not having a little spat, so that was no good. Then of course, there was some of the newer talent in the CSWA: GUNS, Karelin, etc. Either of them would have been a good choice, but still, they didn't have what I was looking for. Then I thought of Bonecrusher, the man who dislocated your shoulder. But you've lost your fear of him, so again, no fun for me. The same is true for HEAT, who took your US Title. That brought me to Safari Sakan and Terminator, the other two men to beat your cleanly for that US Title you coveted so much. But they're both washed up and out of wrestling. Joey Melton was a thought, but again, you've faced and defeated him too much. I even toyed with the idea of sending Junior Hornet against you. I thought of my own two sons, but since I'm speaking to them, they were bad choices. That narrowed it down to just two men. You must know who I'm thinking of, Mark. Surely you've thought of all the possibilities and you know what could happen. The first of my last two choices was eliminated because of his schedule. I decided that since Steven Flair was wrestling five matches tonight, he simply wouldn't be able to take you. That left one man, one man who I know has the talent to beat you. One man that you don't want to have to face. A man who has had plenty of time to rest up. But more importantly, a man who you don't want to have to betray. Has everyone guessed yet? Let's bring him out, Mark. Here is your challenge, here is the man who will keep your from becoming "The Living Legend." Send him out boys. Send out "THE MUPPET KID" TIMMY WINDHAM!!!! (The crowd gasps collectively) (Mickey laughs) MW: I'll get you for this Mickey. You'll pay for this. BB: Timmy Windham comes out of the opposite dressing room as CSWA security lifts Benedict out of the ring to take him to his seat where he can watch the action. Do you see the look on Timmy's face, Sammy? The kid is in shock! This is the last thing he ever wanted to have to do. SB: But he's gotta do it, Buckley, or he'll face a suspension from the CSWA. BB: I don't think that's his major concern right now, Sammy. The real question is: Is Mark Windham willing to trade his brother's love and trust to regain his nickname? I don't think so. SB: You might be surprised, Buckley. BB: Both of the Windham brothers are climbing into the ring. Mark is yelling something at Ben Worthington. He points at Timmy's neck. Timmy Windham was not scheduled to officially return to CSWA action until next week. He suffered a serious neck injury at the hands of his former partner The Mexican Muppet/El Nino, an injury that was hurt again by the Eliminator during the last EN World Championship Tournament. Timmy is certainly not 100%, and that neck could easily be reinjured. SB: You've got to hand it to Benedict. I always thought he was crazy, but I guess he's just crazy like a fox! What a way to get to Mark, bringing his injured little brother out to the ring to face him! It's almost a plan worthy of me! BB: We've finally got a microphone near the ring area so we can catch what they're saying. Both Windhams are in the center of the ring with ref Ben Worthington in between them. MW: I can't wrestle him, Ben. He's my brother, and he's injured for goodness' sakes. Can you do something about this? Make Benedict choose someone else. Timmy isn't even supposed to train until next week, let alone wrestle. TW: It's okay, Mark. Me will take a dive or something. Me will lay down on the mat and you can cover me. MW: You can't do that. Ben: No, you can't. If you do, you'll be suspended. Sorry to have to tell you that, but it's in the contracts. If you take a dive, Timmy, not only will you be suspended, but Mickey will still be "The Living Legend." TW: Me don't care! They can suspend me, but me not gonna fight me brother just so retarded old man like Mickey can get he kicks! I hope you understand. (Timmy turns around to leave the ring) MW: Timmy, forgive me, but a man's gotta do..... BB: Mark Windham just nailed Timmy Windham with a reverse neckbreaker!!! He's almost certainly reinjured his younger brother's neck! I can't believe this! SB: I told you! I knew he'd do it! BB: Windham just threw Timmy through the second rope and onto the floor! Timmy grabs his neck, he's obviously in pain. SB: Look at Mark! Look at his eyes, they're totally glazed over! I think Benedict is right, I think Mark is over the edge! BB: You might be right! But I wouldn't let Mark hear you say anything about his mental health, or you might end up like Mickey! The older Windham has Timmy up and he sends him down with a piledriver!!! Now Mark throws Timmy onto a table, collapsing it to the ground. Mark lines Timmy up over the table! He's gonna piledrive him on it! AND HE DOES!!!! MW: (looking toward the camera) Was that over the top? BB: Here comes the cavalry! Junior Hornet and the Mighty Morphin Midgets are running down to ringside! SB: Yeah! We're gonna see some midgets get piledriven into tables! Midget Tossing! BB: The White Midget runs ahead of all the others and start throwing punches at Mark. But Windham holds him at arm's length as the midget swings. Now Windham scoops up the midget! MW: Midgets! Midgets! Who wants a midget? BB: Mark tosses the White Midget into the ring, and the midget is quickly on his feet. Junior Hornet and the other Mighty Morphin Midgets are pleading with Mark to leave Timmy alone! JH: Mark! You can't do this! It's not worth it! MW: It's my career you freak! JH: This is all Mickey's fault. Don't give him the satisfaction of watching you destroy your own brother! Stop this madness now! BB: Mark stops for a moment and looks down at his hands for quite a while. MW: What have I done??? What have I done!!! Mickey, you're gonna pay this! Crippled or not, I'm coming for you! BB: Windham is going to try and attack Benedict in the stands! WHOA! WHAT WAS THAT? SB: Good night, the lights just flickered! Voice: If you're not man enough to finish him Mark, then I'll have to do it for you!!!! BB: Some man just bungeed down from the rafters! He throws off his overcoat, but his face is still masked. SB: What's that in his hand? NO! IT CAN'T BE! The man we saw earlier on the street, the bum from the sewers! BB: IT'S EL NINO!!!! Also known as The Mexican Muppet! The man who injured Timmy Windham in the first place! Mark Windham has already taken off after Mickey Benedict and his entourage. That leaves Junior Hornet and the Mighty Morphins to protect the injured Muppet Kid who is still unconscious on the floor! Junior Hornet charges El Nino to keep him away from Timmy, but El Nino sidesteps the bigger, lumbering man and sends him head first into the metal turnbuckle!!! Junior Hornet is out like a light, leaving only the Midgets to protect Timmy Windham! The five midgets seem to be forming some kind of pyramid! The White Midget is on top of the five-midget pyramid; he dives off and cannonballs directly into El Nino! El Nino is quickly back up, and the Mighty Morphin Midgets are reforming their pyramid in front of Timmy Windham in order to attack again. SB: They better look out! El Nino has a trick up his sleeve! BB: El Nino pulls out that all-too-familiar Fozzie Bear doll! SB: Those midgets better duck!!!! BB: They're still forming that pyramid! El Nino lights a match and then presses the doll's head down!!!! SB: Duck I tell you, duck! BB: Goo is flying out of the doll's mouth! SB: Not just goo! Flaming goo! BB: It catches the White Midget full in the chest as he dives off the top of the pyramid! He shrieks in pain! SB: What's that smell??? BB: El Nino lifts up the injured midget by the head and tosses him into the crowd! Now he advances again toward Timmy Windham! Where is security!!!??? SB: Only four midgets remain, and now they can't even do that little pyramid thing! BB: The four midgets advance to challenge El Nino, and now we've got a brawl!! The Yellow Midget goes flying into the ring with a huge back drop by El Nino. And now the Black Midget is down after a knee to the head by the man formerly known as the Mexican Muppet! SB: Only two left! BB: El Nino holds the Fozzie bear doll up again! Apparently it's reloaded! But the Blue Midget kicks it out of his hand!! The Fozzie doll goes flying, but so does the Blue Midget! Now only the Red Mighty Morphin Midget stands between El Nino and his target, Timmy Windham! SB: But here comes security!!!! BB: Finally!!! Finally, fans, the park police are on their way apparently to arrest El Nino or at least stop this madness! El Nino looks furious! He's trying to decide whether to leave or attack Windham. But the Red Midget makes the decision for him, he attacks with a flying karate kick. El Nino falls to one knee, but he quickly grabs the Midget and hooks him in a bear hug! SB: Would that be a "Fozzie Bear Hug?" BB: This is not the time. Security is finally almost down to where the action is, and where Timmy Windham lies helpless. But right now it is the Red Midget who is helpless, trapped in the grasp of El Nino. El Nino: You stopped me from taking Windham, but who will stop me from taking you!!! SB: What was that? Did I just hear something snap? BB: Great heavens!!! El Nino just dropped the Red Midget to the floor and took off through the crowd! Marvin, get that black dot over that midget's face! Oh my good Lord! El Nino has snapped the neck of the Red Midget!! Someone get the paramedics! Security is finally down by Windham and the midget. Windham seems conscious, but injured from his brother's ruthlessness. But right now the midget must be in a life or death situation! The paramedics have rushed gurneys down for both men. They're putting a neck and back brace on the midget in order to keep from injuring him even further! Apparently he is breathing, but I have to think that his spinal cord could be damaged or even severed. SB: I don't see him moving, Buckley. BB: I can't believe El Nino has done this! He was once one of the crowd favorites! Granted he wasn't a superstar, but to have it all come down to this??? SB: Timmy Windham owes his life to that little midget on the stretcher there. BB: Paramedics also seem to be examining the White Midget who was hit with that fireball from the doll of El Nino. Apparently his costume protected him. The other three midgets have crowded around the stretcher with the paramedics. They are racing that stretcher out to the ambulance, Sammy. I've got to think that the Red Midget is hurt very seriously. I hope the police find El Nino and arrest him after the stunt he just pulled! SB: He's long gone, Buckley. I don't think they're gonna him tonight. The man is out of his mind anyway. BB: Well we certainly saw that tonight. Fans, we're gonna take a break, we'll be back with the last match of the night. Marvin, cut to station identification! ---------------------------------------------------------- RJ: Fans, welcome back, the following is the final match of this huge FISH FUND X Spectacular! It's been a long night, but the best is certainly yet to come in this one. This is the fifteenth and final match of the second IRONMAN OF CHAMPIONS. It will determine who walks out tonight as the new UNIFIED World Heavyweight Champion! First, from San Antonio, Texas, standing at 5'11 and 365 pounds, here is the reigning Enterprises World Heavyweight Champion, and the man with the Strongest Arms In the World! Here is.... GUNS!!!!! RJ: His opponent is from Greensboro, North Carolina. (Theme from The Greatest American Hero begins playing) He stands at 6'5", 269 pounds. He is the former two-time Unified World Champion and twenty-plus time World Champion. He is, The One, The Only, The Greatest American Hero, HORNET!!!!!!!! SB: Well that's a new one! BB: This is the first time these men have met in the ring here in the CSWA. And they've met only once before, in the AAWC, when Hornet barely defeated GUNS to end his run for the AAWC Universal Title. This should be an interesting match. The winner is going to be the one that can capitalize on the other's weakness the best. For Hornet, it's his already worn-down back. For GUNS, his weakness is his already reinjured right knee. Both men have had a chance to rest up at least a few minutes before this match, but they've got to be tired after wrestling four tough matches. But one fact remains, whoever gets the twenty points from this matchup will be the new Unified Champion. GUNS is looking to win his first Unified Title, while Hornet is looking to three-peat, becoming the only man ever to do so. SB: What do you mean? He's the only person to hold it twice. Isn't that enough for him??? BB: Both GUNS and Hornet have 40 points. With the added twenty points from a win in this match, one of them would be in a tie with Karelin. And since both men defeated Karelin earlier, whoever wins this match would win the tiebreaker and the Unified Title. So, both men are in the ring, let's get this match underway! Your referee is Ben Worthington, and this match has a twenty minute time-limit! There's the bell! The two men meet in the center of the ring for a test of strength. In most matches, Hornet would have the edge in strength, but this match is different. SB: Yeah, he's up against The Strongest Arms in the World. BB: Exactly. And it is indeed GUNS who comes away on top, powering Hornet to his knees. GUNS delivers a boot to Hornet's chest and then scoops up Hornet for the power slam! But while Hornet may be on the losing end of the power battle in this one, he is certainly on the winning end of the contest of speed. He is on his feet and dodges getting hooked in another power slam from GUNS. Instead, Hornet does the scooping and puts GUNS down for the belly to back suplex! Hornet tries to follow up, but GUNS pulls Hornet down to the mat. The two toss punches at each other on the mat, and continue to do so as they both make it to their feet. GUNS whips Hornet into the ropes and catches him with a lariat!!!! Hornet quickly rolls out of the ring to catch his breath. GUNS follows him out, but Hornet is ready for him. He sends GUNS shoulder-first into the iron post and then whips him back-first into the metal barricade! Hornet rolls GUNS back in. Let's see if he can keep the momentum going. Hornet sends GUNS packing with a belly to back suplex, and now he whips GUNS into the ropes. FLYING DROPKICK by the former two-time Unified Champion! Hornet follows up quickly with a brainbuster! He hooks the leg for the early cover!! ONE......but GUNS easily kicks out. GUNS rakes Hornet's eyes as a diversion so that he can roll out of the ring and catch his breath. SB: Neither man has gone to work on the other's injury yet. They're going to have to do it to win this match. BB: That's true, Sammy. GUNS is catching his breath, but Hornet follows him outside. Not many people know that Hornet is incredibly effective on the outside, since he rarely gets the opportunity. Hornet comes off the apron and hits GUNS with a knee to the back, sending GUNS into the metal barricade once again, this time neck-first. Again, Hornet rolls GUNS back into the ring. Hornet hooks on the boston crab. Now he's working on the lower back and knee of GUNS. GUNS is clearly in pain, but he's able to grab the ropes and Worthington calls for the break. Hornet lets go of the boston crab and waits for GUNS to get to his feet. Then he delivers a flying dropkick, again sending GUNS out of the ring, this time through the second rope. Hornet follows him out again, delivering a knee drop from the apron onto GUNS' injured knee. Hornet rolls GUNS back in for at least the third time this match. Hornet delivers a quick belly to back suplex, and he follows by hooking in a full nelson. That was the wrong choice for Hornet, because GUNS still has his upper body strength. GUNS quickly powers out of the full nelson, but Hornet doesn't let up, he uses another belly to back suplex to keep GUNS on the mat. He drags GUNS halfway to his feet and hooks in the abdominal stretch. That's got to be putting some pressure on that knee of GUNS. GUNS is struggling to escape the ad stretch. He can't count on his leg strength because of that injured knee, so he's trying to use those Strongest Arms in the World to break the hold. But the ad stretch depends on those legs for power, and that means GUNS is in trouble. Every second he's stuck in this painful maneuver puts him much closer to defeat. Finally, GUNS is able to grab the ropes, breaking the hold. But he has no time to mount an offense, because Hornet goes after him hard with dropkick that sends him through the ropes again! I don't think we've seen this much action go on outside the ring during match since..... SB: Since the last match. BB: Ok, so it was bad timing. Sue me. SB: I wish. BB: Hornet comes off the apron with a two-fisted hammer on GUNS' back. GUNS falls to the blue mats on the concrete floor, and Hornet follows quickly with a belly to back suplex. SB: I told you. Hornet's such a goody-two-shoes he won't go after GUNS' knee. BB: Maybe he doesn't feel like he has enough reason to end GUNS' career. SB: Well why not? GUNS certainly tried to end his on more than one occasion! Just another reason why Hornet has fallen from the top. BB: I wouldn't say that. Right now he's wrestling for the Unified Championship against the EN World Champion! SB: Well, when you put it that way. BB: Hornet continues his domination, but now both men are back in the ring! Hornet whips GUNS into the ropes and catches the big man with a clothesline that sends him sprawling. Hornet waits for GUNS to get to his feet and then rocks him with another clothesline! Hornet pulls GUNS to his feet and sends him lurching towards the ropes. There's another flying dropkick! Hornet hooks the leg and covers! ONE.......no, GUNS kicks out. Hornet pulls GUNS to his feet and delivers a series of huge heart kicks. GUNS hits the mat, and Hornet heads up top! SHOOTING STAR PRESS off the top!!! Hornet nails it! ONE............... TWO......NO! GUNS gets his foot on the ropes. We were just a moment away from seeing our first three-time Unified Champion! Hornet pulls GUNS away from the ropes and there's yet another belly to back suplex. It looks like it's only a matter of time, Sammy. SB: I hate to say it, but you may be right. Maybe El Nino will bungee down again and attack Hornet. I mean, you can always hope, right? BB: The former three-time CSWA World Champion pulls GUNS' bulk up and puts him into the mat with the brainbuster! That could be a setup for what's to come. Hornet pulls GUNS up and sends him toward the turnbuckle!!! But referee Ben Worthington gets caught in the line of fire!! GUNS' body catches Worthington hard, and both referee and wrestler hit hard! Worthington is down and out near the turnbuckle, and GUNS just hit hard back-first into that turnbuckle! Hornet follows in! HORNET SPLASH!!!! Hornet moves out of the way and lets the Strongest Arms in the World fall like a huge sequoia in the middle of the forest. Worthington is still out like a light near the ring apron. But Hornet pulls GUNS to the center of the ring! Here we go! SCORPION DEATHLOCK!!!!! GUNS yells out in pain as Hornet cinches the deadliest move in the sport in on that injured knee of GUNS! You wanted Hornet to be ruthless to win, Sammy, well here ya go. SB: I didn't say he had to break GUNS' leg! For goodness' sakes one bone-snapping a night is enough for me! BB: I quite agree on that one! Hornet pulls harder and harder on the legs of GUNS, further wrenching that injured right knee. GUNS is obviously in incredible pain. You've got to think he's willing to give it up, but there's no referee to ask him! Ben Worthington is still down and out in the corner of the ring. SB: GUNS give up? You've got to be kidding! BB: Um, it HAS happened before, Sammy. And the way GUNS is yelling right now, he's got to be close if not already over the edge. SB: Maybe the midgets will come down and save him too! BB: Well, GUNS isn't screaming anymore, in fact, he's not doing much of anything anymore. He appears to be out in the middle of the ring. Hornet has this match won, but there is no Ben Worthington ready to award him the win. Hornet lets up on the Scorpion and heads over to the side of the ring to wake Ben Worthington. Hold on, GUNS seems to be coming back to life in the middle of the ring. Hornet doesn't give him a moment to rest. He pulls GUNS to his feet and sends him down with a belly to back suplex, and then pulls GUNS back up. Hornet measures him and then goes back to come off the ropes. Hornet charges GUNS, but GUNS falls to his good knee and launches Hornet over the top rope!!! And Worthington is still down, so he didn't see it! Hornet comes down hard on his back on the ring apron!!! SB: He's hurt, Bill. He's really hurt. BB: You don't have to sound so happy about it! Hornet has this match won until GUNS sent him over the top in desperation! GUNS scoots over to where Worthington is lying and tries to pull himself up to his feet by the ropes. Hornet is still outside on the floor, and he's not making any motion to get up. SB: GUNS has got to get Hornet back in the ring. He cannot win the IRONMAN with just 15 points for the countout win! BB: And it seems like GUNS heard you, because he moves away from Worthington and heads to get Hornet back into the ring. GUNS is still in trouble; he can't put any weight at all on that right knee. And we can't tell the extent of Hornet's injury yet, except that it is obvious his back has been reinjured. Hornet is up on his knees, and GUNS leans under the bottom rope to pull Hornet back into the ring by his hair! Both men are in the ring, but they're both off their feet. Hornet is barely moving, and GUNS cannot get to his feet without incredible pain and risking further injury. We could have a double count-out here if Worthington ever wakes up! SB: And it looks like he might! He's stirring over there in the corner! BB: GUNS pulls the unconscious Hornet into the center of the ring and covers him! Worthington is still blurry-eyes, but he counts it from across the ring!! ONE..........no, Hornet gets his right shoulder up! I don't know how Hornet got that shoulder up, but somehow he did. Ben Worthington is slow getting to his feet, but he finally does, and he begins the standing ten-count on both men. Both GUNS and Hornet are pulling on the ropes, trying to make it to their feet before the ten count. Hornet falls back onto the mat and begins again, but GUNS is finally successful in making it to his feet, breaking the ten count. GUNS grimaces each time he puts any weight on that right knee, but he knows that he's so close to winning the Unified Championship, he doesn't care. SB: Finish him! End it! BB: Hornet is finally on his feet. GUNS puts him down with a slam. He pulls Hornet upside down! He's going to try and end it all here! PILEDRIVER! He covers! ONE...... NO, Hornet gets his leg on the ropes! Neither man is willing to give up in this one! SB: They better start thinking about ending it, because only five minutes remain in the match! BB: Good point! GUNS is using his incredible upper body strength, but he can't use any maneuver where he would have to pick Hornet up because of his knee. GUNS pulls Hornet to his feet again, and there's a DDT!!! GUNS follows, setting up Hornet and sending him hard into the mat with a TOMBSTONE! GUNS covers! ONE.......TWO......NO, the shoulder is up! Hornet has no chance of winning this match, but he's not giving it up! Hold on, GUNS is yelling something at Hornet. Let's get that ring microphone on! GUNS: It's over, Bugbrain. Give it up now before I snap your neck, your back, whatever! You know who the better man is! BB: GUNS pulls Hornet up again, and there's another DDT! GUNS: Don't you know when you've met your match? It's over, Hornet! BB: But GUNS only gets a two-count before Hornet gets the shoulder up. Hornet isn't answering any of GUNS' taunts. GUNS: Don't get up again! I told you that this is over! BB: And AGAIN, GUNS puts Hornet down with the tombstone and covers!! ONE.........TWO......NO, again Hornet is up! RJ: Three minutes remain in this match. SB: There's no way either of these men can go for another three minutes. This one is going to end right here, right now. BB: GUNS pulls Hornet to his feet and whips him into the turnbuckle! He can't run to follow him in, but there's no rush, because Hornet slumps to the mat still in the corner. GUNS lifts Hornet and puts him on the top rope! SB: He can't be going for a superplex can he???? BB: I think so. Since he can't put much pressure on his knee, he's going to let momentum do the work for him! And when he throws Hornet onto his back from the top rope, this match is over! GUNS: I told you it's over, boy. But now I'm going to end your career! HORNET: Don't bet on it, steroidboy. If I can't win this thing, then either can you! BB: Hornet has come to life on the top turnbuckle! Hornet blocks GUNS' attempt to send him to the mat! GUNS can't put any pressure on that knee, so Hornet is able to stay perched on that top turnbuckle while GUNS pushes off the second rope. RJ: Ninety seconds remain! SB: After all that, this thing is gonna end in a time limit draw? What a jip! BB: Hornet said that if he couldn't win, he wouldn't let GUNS. But I don't know if he'll have any choice in the matter. If GUNS gets him off that turnbuckle, this match is over! GUNS pulls at Hornet again, but Hornet pulls back, and now we've got two men fighting for their lives! Hornet places his feet on the second rope and pulls! GUNS just WENT TO THE OUTSIDE FROM THE TOP TURNBUCKLE!!! He is hurt! Referee Ben Worthington is calling for the bell!!!! Rhubarb? RJ: Referee Ben Worthington has awarded the match to GUNS via disqualification of Hornet for throwing his opponent over the top rope. That means GUNS finishes with a 3-2 record, but only 55 points! ALEXANDR KARELIN IS YOUR NEW UNIFIED WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION! BB: There's gonna be some celebrating back in Mad Mike's stable tonight! Karelin, who tossed away the Presidential Belt earlier in the night, is the new Unified Champion! SB: I can't believe it. I just can't believe it! BB: What are you talking about? Karelin's a great wrestler, a true IRONMAN, after wrestling five matches in a row. SB: Not that, idiot. I could understand when Mark Windham did the number on Timmy. I could even believe it when El Nino attacked the Midgets. But Hornet deliberately got disqualified to keep GUNS from winning the Unified Title? How unfair is that!!!!???? BB: About as unfair as GUNS launching Hornet over the top rope earlier in the match. SB: Yeah, but the ref didn't see that so it was legal! BB: I always knew there were synapses in your brain that just don't connect. Paramedics are attending to GUNS who may be seriously injured after that fall from at least twelve feet above the floor. Hornet has also walked over to the trainers' room to have his back checked out. And meanwhile, champagne is flowing for Alexandr Karelin, who has won this IRONMAN OF CHAMPIONS! That's all we have time for tonight, folks! Thanks for joining us! Be sure to join us for AAWC: UNDER NEW OWNERSHIP, CSWA SUPERPRIMETIME: Until They All Come Home, and later in August for DISNEY DAYS!!!! This is Bill Buckley for Sammy Benson, Stan Parsons, and Rhubarb Jones, signing off!
