CSWA SHOWTIME in Las Vegas October 29, 1995 BILL BUCKLEY: Fans, the matches have been signed for this extravagant event, LIVE! IN LAS VEGAS, NEVADA in CAESARS PALACE! The matches may have been signed, but there is one disgruntled man out there by the name of TSUNAMI! Unfortunatley, Teri Melton signed TWO matches for her man, one being against HER BROTHER, JOEY MELTON in singles, and the other being, NC-17 vs. CRAZY LIKE A SLACKER! In fact, there have been rumblings about dissension in the Teri Melton Corporation, ever since MIKE RANDALLS, JOEY MELTON and RAY S. CORNETTE brought the house down on them at BATTLE OF THE BELTS! Also on the card, is SCOTTY MICHAELS, a former champion trying to get his revenge on JOHNNY TROPIC! Finally, in the MAIN EVENT, two men who have battled OVER THE HILLS and THROUGH THE MOUNTAINS for about a year now, 'KING OF DARKNESS' MIKE RANDALLS and 'GREATEST AMERICAN HERO' HORNET face off for the fourth time in their ongoing series of battles. But this time, Hornet is doing it for arch-nemesis GUNS, who can't wrestle his most hated enemy in Randalls due to his recent retirement from wrestling. All this LIVE! IN ONE HOUR! ON U-62, HOME OF THE CSWA! CUE UP: Five to One by the DOORS.

But first a commercial break! SAMMY BENSON: Yeah, I gotta drain the lizard! BILL BUCKLEY: We're still on the air! SAMMY BENSON: Oops....and ladies it's a humongous lizard! RHUBARB JONES: This next TAG TEAM ATTRACTION is scheduled for ONE FALL and a THIRTY MINUTE TIME LIMIT. Introducing TEAM #1, first the 'KING OF THE SLACKERS' TROY WINDHAM, and 'SCHIZO BOY' JUNIOR HORNET, here are CRAZY LIKE A SLACKER! Their opponents, from Steven Flair's CORPORATION, they are managed by the lovely TERI MELTON, TSUNAMI! WILDSTAR! NC-17! ------------------------------------------------------------ SAMMY BENSON: Teri is looking F-I-N-E, FINE TONIGHT! I don't think there's any oxygen in her dress because those mountains are peaking tonight! Good lord, I love this wrestling federation! BILL BUCKLEY: Alright Sammy, stop drooling. It's going to be Wildstar and Troy Windham starting this match off. Troy is waiting a LONG time to lock up, and Wildstar is getting frustrated. SAMMY BENSON: That's why they call him KING OF THE SLACKERS! At first I just thought he wore funky pants. BILL BUCKLEY: He still won't lock up, and Wildstar now turns towards the ref and starts to complain! BAD MOVE! TROY WITH A KNEE FROM BEHIND! Troy with an Irish Whip, and nails Wildstar with a DROPKICK which sends him outta the BILL BUCKLEY: ring! What a 'slacker' move! Troy is loving life right now, as he laughs at Wildstar who is throwing chairs all over the CAESARS PALACE in frustration! Wildstar rolls back in the ring, and now charges at Troy, but is caught with an ARMDRAG! Troy tags in Hornet, who catapults himself into the ring! Troy with an Irish Whip, and Wildstar leapfrogs over him, but is caught with a JUNIOR HORNET CLOTHESLINE! SAMMY BENSON: Watching P. Vicious do this makes me as sick as the time I saw Schroeder showing Day how to make the popcorn. BILL BUCKLEY: JH off the ropes and he nails another CLOTHESINE! Wildstar rolls to his corner, and tags Tsunami. JH and Tsunami lock up, and JH gets a headlock on, but Tsunami counters with a BACK/BELLY SUPLEX, BUT JH HOLDS ONTO THE SIDE HEADLOCK! Tsunami rolls him over, WITH TIGHTS! ONE---TWO---NO! Tsunami rolls him over again, 1---2---NO! Tsunami gets to his feet, and pushes JH off the ropes, and goes for a BACK BODY DROP, but JH counters with a LEAP FROG, and runs off the ropes, and catches Tsunami with a FLYING BODYPRESS! SAMMY BENSON: Do they serve liquor here? I need it...bad. BILL BUCKLEY: Will you stop your binging, just tonight. JH runs off the ropes, but WILDSTAR PULLS THEM DOWN, AND JUNIOR HORNET FALLS OUT OF THE RING! Tsunami is distracting the ref, and Wildstar picks up JH, and holds him up for Teri! She takes off one of her heels, and runs, AND JH DUCKS AND TERI NAILS WILDSTAR OVER THE HEAD WITH HER HEEL! SHE BUSTED HIM OPEN! JH rolls back in the ring. Tsunami with a Side Headlock, but JH pushes him off the ropes. CLOTHESLINE BY JH...NO! TSUNAMI OFF THE ROPES....FLYING SHOULDERBLOCK! JH is down, he gets up, and is caught WITH A FRANK-N-PARSONS! SAMMY BENSON: This team is one of the best aerial teams in SAMMY BENSON: the sport! They have more mileage than TWA! BILL BUCKLEY: Tsunami tags in Wildstar, who comes in and delivers a BOOT TO THE GUT of JH, followed by a DDT! Troy Windham has not really been a factor in this match. If Crazy Like A Slacker wants to win, they will have to tag more often! SAMMY BENSON: That may be hard since Wildstar just hooked in a ABDOMINAL STRETCH on JUNIOR HORNET! BREAK HIS RIBS! BILL BUCKLEY: Fans we got to take a 30 second time out! BILL BUCKLEY: Okay, we are back fans! SAMMY BENSON: Wildstar's face is almost covered in blood from Teri's heel! That could affect his vision. BILL BUCKLEY: That's the first intelligent thing you've said all night. Are you feeling okay. SAMMY BENSON: It must be the pills Jim Williams gave me. BILL BUCKLEY: Okay. Anyhow, Junior Hornet is still locked in that ABDOMINAL STRETCH of Wildstar. I don't think he can BILL BUCKLEY: hold out much longer. He's been in the majority of this now 10 minute old match. Troy Windham is trying to get the fans behind Junior Hornet right now. I believe it's working, because Junior Hornet is starting to shake his arm. SAMMY BENSON: Please that could never work! BILL BUCKLEY: Time to take more pills, Sammy, because JUNIOR HORNET GIVES WILDSTAR A HIP TOSS TO BREAK THE HOLD! Junior Hornet runs off the ropes, but Wildstar catches him OUT OF NOWHERE WITH A SUPERKICK! HE BLASTED HIM WITH THAT! SAMMY BENSON: If he kicked him any harder, Junior Hornet's head would be in the sixth row by now. BILL BUCKLEY: Wildstar is going up to the top rope, Junior Hornet gets up, and Wildstar goes for a SHOOTING STAR PRESS.....NOBODY HOME! Junior Hornet ducked out of the way! Wildstar rolls to his corner and makes the tag. Junior Hornet is trying to make a tag, but Tsunami pulls him away just in time! Tsunami picks up Junior Hornet, and swings a right hand, but Junior Hornet ducks, and counters with an ATOMIC DROP! Junior Hornet somersaults to his corner and makes the tag! Here comes Troy! SAMMY BENSON: And he doesn't look like a SLACKER NOW! He's nailing lefts and rights on Tsunami! And nails a CLOTHESLINE to send him down! Here comes Wildstar, and he gets caught by the same fate! Troy with an Irish Whip on Tsunami.....POWERSLAM! ONE----TWO----WILDSTAR BREAKS IT UP! BILL BUCKLEY: Here comes Junior Hornet, and we've got a FOUR MAN BRAWL in the ring! Junior Hornet sends Wildstar outside the ring, and follows him! Troy goes for a SUPLEX on Tsunami, but Tsunami slides down his back...and WHAM! NAILS A GERMAN SUPLEX! The ref has headed outside the ring to separate Wildstar and Junior Hornet! Meanwhile, in the BILL BUCKLEY: ring, Teri Melton has a chair held up for Tsunami to throw Troy Windham into. Tsunami with an Irish Whip, BUT IT'S REVERSED! TSUNAMI CRASHES INTO TERI! Tsunami is out cold, and Teri falls out of the ring! Wildstar grabs the chair AND NAILS TROY WITH IT! THERE'S THE BELL, THE REF SAW IT! JUNIOR HORNET JUMPS WILDSTAR FROM BEHIND! Here come officials to separate the four combatants! CRAZY LIKE A SLACKER have won the match by DQ. I don't know, after Tsunami's German Suplex, I think he could've pinned him. I think Teri got greedy, but SHE IS YELLING AT TSUNAMI! She's blaming him. He walks away, and she's livid! We'll be back with Michaels/Tropic in a few! BILL BUCKLEY: Alright fans, this one is a HOT match. As you might have seen, at Battle of the Belts, Jim Williams instructed Johnny Tropic to ATTACK and COST Scotty Michaels his match. Well, Michaels in a public statement VOWED to get revenge by starting a NEW alliance. This could be a start of a war. As our next match is SCOTTY MICHAELS and JOHNNY TROPIC, ONE ON ONE, LIVE ON SHOWTIME! ************************************************************ SCOTTY MICHAELS vs. JOHNNY TROPIC ************************************************************ BILL BUCKLEY: There's the bell, and MICHAELS wastes no TIME and attacks Tropic in his own corner! He's nailing him with BILL BUCKLEY: left and right hands! Now with Reverse Knife Edges! Michaels climbs the turnbuckles! He's pounding him with rights! (with crowd) ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! SIX! SEVEN! EIGHT! NINE! TEN! Michaels comes down, Tropic walks out of the corner, and LANDS FLAT ON HIS FACE! Michaels off the ropes, LEGDROP TO THE BACK OF HIS HEAD! SAMMY BENSON: I'm not worried under the tutelage of that genius, Jim Williams, there is no way Tropic can lose. BILL BUCKLEY: Yeah, well Tropic is big trouble right now. Michaels with a SNAP SUPLEX...WHAM! Nailed it. Michaels BILL BUCKLEY: picks up Tropic, and throws him off the ropes and gives him a BIG BACK BODY DROP! SAMMY BENSON: He was in the LIGHTS on that one. I don't believe the height on that hold. BILL BUCKLEY: An upset SCOTTY MICHAELS is a dangerous one. Michaels is taking Tropic up to the TOP ROPE! He lands a right hand, and now is GOING FOR A TOP ROPE SUPERPLEX! HERE IT COMES......WHAM! Tropic is in huge trouble! Michaels gets up, and WILL NOT PIN HIM! That may be a mistake, Sammy. Michaels is too angry to be smart. SAMMY BENSON: But I think Tropic is too hurt to do anything about it....so it really does not matter. Michaels with an Irish Whip, he goes for another BACK BODY DROP....NO! TROPIC COUNTERS WITH A DDT! BILL BUCKLEY: Great move by Tropic. SAMMY BENSON: I told you he would turn it around. BILL BUCKLEY: Yeah, whatever. Tropic now with a KNEEDROP, and goes for the pin, ONE---TWO---NO! Michaels with a kickout. Tropic goes for a SWINGING NECKBREAKER...WHAM! SAMMY BENSON: I think the neck and spine of Michaels may have gotten separated on that one. BILL BUCKLEY: I doubt that Sammy. Tropic is still holding his back in pain, after that TR Superplex given to him. Tropic is going for a PILEDRIVER......WHAM! Tropic hit that perfectly! He covers, ONE---TWO---THR--NO! Michaels with a kickout. Tropic with an Irish Whip, and nails a CLOTHESLINE! Tropic is heading to the TOP ROPE, SAMMY! SAMMY BENSON: This could make or break the match! Michaels gets up, AND IS DECAPITATED WITH A TOP ROPE CLOTHESLINE! BILL BUCKLEY: This could be it folks! ONE----TWO---THREE! NO! NO! The ref said, Michaels got a shoulder up! Tropic is up, and arguing with the referee Ben Worthington. He's not paying attention to Michaels! Michaels gets up, and DROPKICKS TROPIC INTO THE REFEREE! THE REF FELL OUT OF THE RING! Tropic up again, AND MET WITH ANOTHER DROPKICK! Michaels off the ropes, and Tropic gets up....BIG LARIAT! The fans love it, and Michaels is going ballistic! Michaels with an Irish Whip....WHAM! BIG POWERSLAM! SAMMY BENSON: He's going to work on that back again! HERE COMES JIM WILLIAMS! IT'S ALL GOING TO BLOW UP NOW! ------> BILL BUCKLEY: Michaels sees him, and catches him with a RIGHT hand as he enters the ring! Michaels with an Irish Whip....FRANK-N-PARSONS! LOOK OUT! Tropic from behind with a CLOTHESLINE! Williams rolls out of the ring, and gets a CHAIR! He throws it to Tropic. He gets in the ring, and is now holding up Michaels. Tropic charges....WHAM! MICHAELS DUCKED! WILLIAMS GOT THE BLOW, AND FALLS THROUGH THE ROPES! Michaels kicks Tropic in the gut, and THE CHAIR FLIES IN THE AIR, AND MICHAELS CATCHES IT! He smashes it over the BACK OF TROPIC! HIS BAD BACK! HE DOES IT AGAIN! WHAM! SAMMY BENSON: I've never seen Michaels like this! HE DID IT AGAIN! Now he throws the chair out of the ring, and the ref is getting up. What is he doing now? BILL BUCKLEY: MICHAELS HOOKS IN A BOSTON CRAB! A groggy Worthington is asking for a submission, and HE GOT ONE! MICHAELS WINS THE MATCH! BUT HE'S NOT LETTING GO OF THE HOLD! Officials are trying to get him off, but they can't! Here comes LAMBFRY KATZ, who's in charge of Special Events, and he threatens Michaels with a suspension, and Michaels gets off. Tropic may be seriously hurt. We'll have a report on his condition, and Melton/Tsunami after a timeout! RUDY SEITZER: Hello fans, this is Rudy Seitzer back in the dressing rooms, for CSWA SHOWTIME. I've just spoken to doctors, and they have told me that Johnny Tropic has suffered strained back ligaments from the hands of Scotty Michaels. It is not too serious, and he will be able to wrestle, but not at 100% for the next couple of weeks. Back to you Bill and Sammy! ============================================================ BILL BUCKLEY: Let's go to RHUBARB! ============================================================ RHUBARB JONES: This next SINGLES ATTRACTION is scheduled for one fall with a FORTY-FIVE MINUTE TIME LIMIT! (CUE UP: ORIENTAL MUSIC) First, hailing from TOKYO, JAPAN, he is a former UNIFIED HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION, he weighs in at 229 pounds, managed by the lovely TERI MELTON, please welcome TSSSSSSUUUUNAMI! (fans boo, as Tsunami and Ms. Melton come down to ringside) His opponent, now residing in CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA (CUE UP: 2010 Space Odyssey) he weighed in at 248 pounds, managed by the esteemed RAY S. CORNETTE, please welcome 'ARROGANCE' JOOOOOOOEEEEEEY MELTON!!!!! (fans cheer, as Melton and Cornette walk down with their arms raised) ============================================================ SAMMY BENSON: It's a sad day when Joey and Ray are cheered SAMMY BENSON: for in this league....I feel so mainstream, right now. BILL BUCKLEY: It certainly is weird, Sammy. In most arenas, this would be considered a main event, considering the magnitude, talent and hatred involved. There's the bell and both men lock up, and Melton pushes Tsunami into the corner and delivers a chop! Tsunami grabs Melton, and swings him into the corner, and nails a chop of his own! Melton with a right hand! Tsunami with a right hand! Melton with a left jab! Tsunami with a left jab! They're going toe to toe right now! Melton goes for an Irish Whip BILL BUCKLEY: into the TURNBUCKLES...NO! Tsunami reverses it! Melton flips over the turnbuckles, and lands on his feet on the apron, he runs over to the other turnbuckle, and climbs it, and goes for a TR DOUBLE AXEHANDLE AND CONNECTS on Tsunami! He going up again! This time Tsunami, gets up and runs over AND DROPKICKS MELTON! WHAT HANGTIME! Melton just falls where the sun don't shine on the turnbuckle! And now he falls off facefirst to the mat! SAMMY BENSON: I don't know who to cheer for. Teri or Joey. I think I'm having a nervous breakdown. I gotta go to the potty, Bill, I'll be back! BILL BUCKLEY: What a relief, I'm all alone now. Tsunami with an Irish Whip, and goes for a Back Body Drop, but Melton puts on the brakes AND GIVES HIM A FIELD GOAL KICK TO THE HEAD! Tsunami staggers back, and MELTON CLOTHESLINES HIM OUT OF THE RING! It's going to get dirty now. Melton comes out, and picks up Tsunami, and goes for a SUPLEX, but Tsunami slides down his back, and pushes him into the ringpost! Melton staggers towards Tsunami....WHAM! SAVAT KICK BY TSUNAMI! He planted him! Tsunami is attempting to Irish Whip Melton into the barricade.....NO! REVERSED! And Tsunami hits the barricade, and falls over it into the fans section! Melton rolls in the ring, and is now waiting for BILL BUCKLEY: Tsunami to get back in the ring. I think he knows how crazy Tsunami gets out there. He probably saw the Tsunami/Mike Randalls match from about 8 months ago. Tsunami attempts to get in the ring, but Melton counters with an Eye Rake. Melton is attempting to SUPLEX TSUNAMI BACK IN THE RING......NO! TSUNAMI REVERSES THE HOLD, AND SUPLEXES MELTON OUT OF THE RING! OHMYGOD! MELTON IS IN BIG TROUBLE NOW! Tsunami now jumps up onto the apron, AND COMES OFF WITH A LEGDROP! Tsunami rolls Melton back in the ring, and covers for the pin, ONE-----TWO----THR--NO! MELTON GETS A SHOULDER UP! He is not a former WORLD champion for nothing! Fans, we've got to take a 30 second break,hold on! BILL BUCKLEY: We're back, and I've received word that Sammy Benson is puking up lunch in the bathrooms, so he will not be back for this match, definitely! Anyhow, Tsunami is really taking it to Joey Melton right now. Cornette is slamming his tennis racket on the apron to get Joey back into the match. Tsunami with an Irish Whip, he runs off the other ropes.....SPINNING HEEL KICK! He caught him dead center! Tsunami is about to pin Joey, BUT TERI IS YELLING AT HIM TO GO TO THE TOP ROPE! Tsunami gives her a look, and heads to the TOP ROPE.....REVERSE MOONSAULT.....NO! MELTON BILL BUCKLEY: PUT HIS KNEES UP! Tsunami is doubled over! MELTON WITH A DDT! He covers, ONE-----TWO-----THREE! I DON'T BELIEVE IT! TERI MELTON COST TSUNAMI THE MATCH! Here comes WILDSTAR! Teri Melton has grabbed the mic. ============================================================ TERI MELTON: That's it! That's the last time! You lost the TAG MATCH, and now you can't finish off my brother! YOU ARE THE WEAK LINK OF THIS CORPORATION! (she slaps Tsunami across the face, now Wildstar grabs the mic) Tell em' Wildstar. WILDSTAR: You know what we discussed? (Tsunami nods) Then WILDSTAR: let's do it! ============================================================ BILL BUCKLEY: Ohmygod! TSUNAMI AND WILDSTAR GRAB TERI AND THROW HER OUT OF THE RING! THEY'RE LEAVING HER! Now Ray Cornette grabs the mic! ============================================================ RAY S. CORNETTE: Alright guys, I know we're not on the best of terms, but what I saw from you two tonight was unreal. If it weren't for her, you MIGHT have had two victories. How about joining the REAL CORPORATION? (extends his hand, Tsunami and Wildstar discuss, and then shake his hand) ============================================================ BILL BUCKLEY: NC-17 HAS JOINED CORNETTE! OHMYGOD! Another loss for Steven and Teri! Wait a minute, Teri Melton is running at CORNETTE! THWACK! CORNETTE HIT HER IN THE CHEST WITH HIS TENNIS RACKET! SHE'S ROLLING AROUND ON THE MAT! THERE'S LIQUID COMING OUT OF HER DRESS! It must be the IMPLANTS! THEY'RE FAKE! OHMYGOD! Teri is running back to the dressing room, in embarrasment, while Cornette, Joey and NC-17 walk down the other aisle in victory! I don't believe what just happened. When we come back, we'll have the story behind Hornet and Mike Randalls and then the match! FADE IN: A black screen, and you start to hear Bill Buckley's voice...... ============================================================ BILL BUCKLEY: According to many religions, and some legends there comes a time when a DARK MAN and a HERO must come face to face. In some of those stories the DARK MAN wins, and in others, THE HERO wins. About one year ago, HORNET was the UNIFIED CHAMPION, the hero of all, but on a fateful day, a man by the name of 'DEVASTATING' MIKE RANDALLS entered the CSWA. He proclaimed to own the darkness, to own the DARKSIDE. He challenged Hornet, but at first Hornet, put him off because of his ranking. However, in the EN World Title Tournament, Randalls beat Joey Melton, Flic Rair and others to capture the title. That's when the challenge became a reality. Soon after, Hornet and Randalls had fights, and war of words. Then Ray S. Cornette challenged Hornet and two other men to a WHEEL OF DEATH MATCH. The stipulations were the UNIFIED TITLE vs. CORNETTE'S BOD SPOTS. Hornet found one partner in longtime friend MARK WINDHAM, but his pupil WILDSTAR turned on him, and joined Cornette, so RANDALLS came out and said if he joined Hornet that night, he wanted a shot at the UNIFIED TITLE at Winter Warriors. Hornet accepted. In probably one of the most brutal matches, Hornet/Windham/Randalls won, and it was time to set the stage for one of the greatest series of matches the world had ever seen. They had one NON-TITLE, NON-TELEVISED match before Winter Warriors, where Mike Randalls defeated an injured Hornet. Many experts felt that Randalls would be the next Unified Champion. However, at Winter Warriors, Hornet with the help of Marvin Parsons proved them wrong and took the third and deciding fall in their cage match to secure the victory, but he was hurt badly in that match by Randalls and his cohorts, FULL FORCE. Soon after, Randalls used his rematch clause, and defeated Hornet this time for the UNIFIED TITLE. Since that day, Hornet has not been able to capture the title, AND JUST got back to the NUMBER ONE CONTENTION spot. However, he is in the midst of a HUGE, PERHAPS BIGGEST FEUD IN CSWA HISTORY with MARK WINDHAM, his once BEST FRIEND. Randalls lost the belt a month later to JT TYLER, and then faced his most hated enemy GUNS at APOCALYPSE NOW, in one of the most sickening matches in CSWA history. Randalls prevailed, but because of his gore, and other attacks on other wrestlers was suspended from the CSWA for TWO MONTHS. Now Randalls is back, and SICKER, CRAZIER AND MORE DEMENTED THAN EVER. And RAY S. CORNETTE is in his corner. For the FOURTH time in their respected careers, the DARK WINDING ROAD of MIKE RANDALLS will cross paths with HORNET'S PATH OF GREATNESS. It will not be quick. It will not be wrestling with these two. In one WORD this match will be WAR. And after this commercial it begins....... FADE TO BLACK BB: We are BACK here on this special two-hour edition of CSWA SHOWTIME at Caesar's Palace in the bright city of Las Vegas, just moments away from the start of an incredible match. As I said before the commercial break, this is the fourth meeting between these two wrestling superstars. But tonight, there is no Full Force, there is no Marvin Parsons, no electrified steel cage. Hornet is not injured, and neither man has a world championship around his waist. This match should be much different from any of the first three from earlier this year. But there's no doubt that it will be a great one. Let's go to Rhubarb for the introductions. RJ: Thanks Bill. Caesar's Palace, are you ready??? (crowd screams) The following match is one-fall, with no time limit. It is a top contenders match featuring the following two top wrestlers in the CSWA. First, hailing from Raleigh, North Carolina, he stands at 6'4, 263 pounds. He is a former WCWF World Heavyweight Champion, the first man and the only man to hold the Enterprise World Heavyweight Championship twice. He is also a former UNIFIED World Heavyweight Champion. He is currently ranked #12 in the CSWA, having returned from his suspension from the CSWA this summer. Some call him the KING OF DARKNESS, but all call him "DEVASTATING" MIKE RANDALLS! (most of the crowd boos, while a few hold up foam replicas of the wooden stake Randalls carries with him) His opponent hails from Greensboro, North Carolina and stands at 6'5, 269 pounds. He just celebrated his 27th birthday, and is well known throughout the CSWA and the wrestling world. His list of championships is immense, among them three CSWA World Championships, a CSWA Unified Title, and dozens of other league World Championships. He is best known for creating the UNIFIED World Championship, and is the only man who has held the title twice. Tonight, he faces the man who took that title away from him earlier this year. Some call him the "Greatest American Hero," others just call him "Champ," but to all he is the One, the Only......HORNET!!!!!!!!! (The standing crowd cheers wildly as a stern-faced Hornet approaches ringside.) BB: Sammy, these two men have had incredible matches, and that's got to be partly because they're the same size, with the same power, as well as incredible technical ability. SB: Well, you're not gonna see these two men brawl unless they get absolutely furious, that's for sure. BB: What's wrong, Sammy? You don't look very happy? SB: I'm not. I don't like this matchup. There's no reason for it yet, neither one of these men has a title; and Randalls could certainly find an easier way up the rankings. And what does Hornet gain out of all this? Not the Unified Title, not the top contender position. He could be preparing for Adler, Windham, or Flair; instead, he's takes on a man who's beaten him twice? BB: These two men had an intense rivalry earlier this year. Both men want to be the top in the game, and apparently each thinks this is a good way to show their dominance. SB: I don't buy that. Neither one of these men needs to show their dominance. I just don't like this at all. It's a waste. BB: Well, I don't think the fans agree with you, Sammy. This has been one of the most awaited matchups since Randalls return from suspension in September. Both men are in the ring, and referee Ben Worthington does not look very thrilled to be between these two guys. Especially not with Randalls brandishing that sharpened wooden stake in the corner. SB: That's the stake he put through GUNS' knee in June, causing that suspension. You can still see traces of blood on it. BB: That stake, along with the scorpion deathlock of Hornet, caused GUNS' retirement. Just before Battle of the Belts 12, I had the chance to interview GUNS, who had just begun recovering from his knee surgery. He wanted this match to happen, he almost begged Hornet to sign this match. SB: You can bet that he's at home glued to the TV set, that bum knee of his planted up on a soft foot rest. BB: We're ready to get this one underway. Worthington calls for the bell as Randalls sets that bloody stake on the ring apron by his corner. SB: Hornet may get a taste of that stake before the night's over. BB: Only if Randalls wants to get suspended again. And I don't think Ray S. Cornette and the rest of the REAL CORP. want that to happen. Speaking of which, where is the ratface? SB: I spoke to him just before the card. He said Randalls wanted to take care of this one by himself, with no interference. BB: That's a surprise...this is the man who had FULL FORCE injured Hornet so he'd have a leg up. SB: But I think Randalls wants to prove that his two wins over Hornet were no flukes. Randalls wants to dispel all the myths by pinning a healthy Hornet who is at the top of his game. When Randalls wins this match tonight, Hornet will have no excuses, as he's been so fond of saying recently. BB: The two men in the ring have circled each other quite a bit while thinking about locking up. There was no attempt at shaking hands, no "good lucks" tossed back and forth. If you look in the eyes of these two men, they are all business. They finally lock up, and it is Randalls who comes out on top, tossing Hornet down on his backside with a slam. Hornet quickly gets to his feet and whips Randalls into a turnbuckle, but doesn't follow in. Randalls rubs his back and starts back across to the middle of the ring. I'm surprised, Sammy, I thought we might see these two men get angry early. SB: I don't know what's going on, Bill. All I can figure is after last night, neither man knows exactly what to think about the other. BB: Sammy's referring to last night's SuperPRIMETIME in Des Moines, Iowa, where Randalls was attacked by Flair's CORPORATION before his "I Quit" match with Tom Adler. It was Hornet who came down to ringside to Randalls' aid, saving him from the brunt of the wrath of Flair and his men. SB: All I can think of is this. Hornet has been trading words, as well as punches with Mark Windham. But both of those men know that everytime they step in the ring against each other one-on-one, something happens. The first time, Cornette interfered and almost beat the life out of them. The second time, the ref, Carl Young, had a heart attack after ruling the match a draw because they pinned each other. And the third time, we all got to see Mickey Benedict pop Mark Windham over the head with a microphone after Windham jacked him up. So, all I can figure, is that neither Hornet or Windham wants to chance the singles match again, and they're going to try a tag match this time. Windham's got his obvious partner, Tom Adler, another man that Hornet doesn't particularly like. Hornet, however, has no obvious partner. JT Tyler is out of wrestling, as is Shea Friedman, who Hornet held his first US Tag Titles with. BB: Inside the ring, the two men lock up again. Randalls tries to put Hornet over with a back suplex, but Hornet blocks the move and puts Randalls down with a quick belly to back. Hornet quickly follows up with a full nelson down on the mat. Sorry to interrupt, Sammy. SB: Yeah, sure. Well, the last man Hornet tagged with was Timmy Windham, also against Mark. But Timmy Windham has been injured, so Hornet is left without anyone on his side. BB: But I'm sure there are quite a few men who would tag with Hornet. Randalls scrambles out of the full nelson, but Hornet quickly hooks in a bear hug from behind, still working on the back of Randalls. SB: Sure there are wrestlers who would tag with him, but the list gets smaller when you figure every man out there knows they'd be facing Mark Windham and Tom Adler. Plus, I'm sure Hornet doesn't want any partner, he wants a GOOD partner. And that could be where Mike Randalls comes in. The two men have been partners before, along with Mark Windham, in the WHEEL OF DEATH match in January of this year. They were tenuous partners at best, but hey, they won the match. And Randalls has his own reasons to want to get in the ring against both Adler and Windham. This could be an opportunity too good for him to pass up. BB: Well, Hornet hasn't hinted at who he's going to ask to be his partner, but it's certain Randalls could be a prospect. Meanwhile, Randalls charges out of the bear hug after an elbow. He comes off the ropes and sends Hornet down as they collide. Randalls heads to the ropes again, and this time locks up with Hornet and put him down with a back suplex. He doesn't go for the quick pin, however. SB: He knows that at this point it's just a waste of time. No point in expending the effort. BB: Instead, the former two-time EN World Champ cinches in a camel clutch. That's a momentum changer right there. Randalls has started work on Hornet's most vulnerable area, plus he's countered all of Hornet's power and agility in one fell swoop. Hornet tries to power out, but he's unable to knock Randalls' 263 pound frame off of the seat he's claimed, that seat being Hornet's back! Hornet grimaces as he continues to try and break the hold. Finally he tries to reach for the ropes, but there he thwarted too, unable to grasp the rope just inches away. He pulls with all his might and finally grabs the rope. Worthington calls for the break. Randalls does so, and then follows up with a couple of swift kicks to the midsection of the kneeling Hornet. Hornet drops to his stomach, and Randalls stomps on his back. Referee Worthington warns Randalls, but it's no use, as Randalls grabs Hornet's legs and pulls him a little ways from the ropes. Hornet tries to kick Randalls, away, but Mike is able to hook on a step over toe hold! SB: Smart move. He could've tried the figure four, but Horent would've had a target to kick at. Instead, he cinches in the step-over. BB: More, after this quick commercial! BB: Welcome back, fans. Hornet is still stuck in the step over toe hold, but has inched his way closer to the ropes. He finally gets a finger hold on them and Worthington calls for the break. Randalls is unwilling to break the hold, and Worthington has to pry the legs of the two men apart. Hornet quickly rolls outside for a breather, and Randalls follows. Randalls sends Hornet back-first into the metal barricade in front of the fans, and then whips him into the apron, again back-first. SB: Randalls' interviews may be full of his trademark "DARKNESS" talk, and many may call him a little unbalanced because of that, but this man is no Junior Hornet. He's a smart man, and knows what he's doing at all times. BB: Randalls rolls the grimacing Hornet back into the ring, but it is Hornet who is on his feet first as Randalls rolls himself back in. Hornet grabs Randalls by the arm and tries to whip him into the ropes as Randalls gets to his feet, but Mike is able to reverse the irish whip, sending Hornet into the ropes. Randalls prepares to dodge the clothesline or flying body press, but instead, Hornet catches him with the flying dropkick square to the chest. Randalls took that one hard, and it sends him out of the ring through the second rope and down to the floor! Randalls is a little slow getting to his feet, and as he does, Hornet runs across the ring and slides his feet under the bottom rope, catching Randalls with a modified dropkick that way that sends Mike into the metal barricade. Turnabout is fair play, I guess. SB: There's no fair play when it comes to Hornet. He's the Antichrist, remember? BB: Thanks Mr. Williams. Hornet rolls under the bottom rope and clotheslines Randalls, sending the former Unified Champ over the metal barricade and into the laps of the fans. Hornet then heads back into the ring, waiting for Randalls to come back in. Randalls takes a few seconds coming to his feet and climbs over the barricade. SB: Uh oh.....I think Hornet made him mad. BB: Does that mean his eyes are going turn red again? SB: Who knows with this guy? BB: Randalls climbs carefully back into the ring, wary of an attack by Hornet. Instead, Hornet waits and the two meet up again in the center of the ring. Randalls whips Hornet into the ropes....BIG CLOTHESLINE by Randalls. Hornet climbs to his feet and get leveled by another clothesline! And this time as Hornet gets up, Randalls drops him with a DDT! Randalls hooks the leg for the cover, but gets only a one-count. But he caught Hornet full on with that one, the two-time Unified Champ is still on the mat, rolling around with his hands cradling his head. Randalls takes advantage of his handiwork to deliver a few more stomps with his boots to the back of the aching Hornet. Hornet rolls away from Randalls and ends up against the turnbuckle in his corner. Randalls follows in and drops a knee onto Hornet's side. Now he follows up by using the ropes for leverage and dropping a boot hard down on Hornet's side. Worthington cautions him, and Randalls stops. Wait a minute. Randalls stops? SB: It's sure not because of Worthington! Look at who decided to show up! BB: Randalls saw first what we have all just seen....GUNS is making his way down the aisle. SB: He said he'd be in Hornet's corner for this match, but Hornet never accepted the offer. I guess he just couldn't resist watching this one. Unfortunately, his man isn't winning. BB: Randalls points at GUNS, who is on crutches and says something that I can't make out. SB: I don't think you could say it on television even if you could make it out. BB: GUNS doesn't return the jeer. But Hornet does, climbing to his feet and tackling Randalls with great speed. He definitely caught Randalls off guard there, and now he's on top of him pummeling him. But now Randalls recovers and pushes Hornet off of him. The two men are on their feet and they grapple in a test of strength. Hornet gets the edge and then plants a boot in Randalls' stomach. Hornet whips Randalls into the ropes and catches him on the rebound with a flying dropkick. Hornet quickly follows with a belly to back suplex on the downed Randalls. Randalls tries to pull Hornet down to the mat with him, but is unsuccessful. Hornet grabs Randalls legs and turns him over, sitting down in a boston crab! Randalls quickly grabs for the ropes, and Worthington calls for the break. Hornet breaks the crab, but quickly continues his momentum push with another belly to back suplex. Hornet pulls Randalls to his feet and hooks in an abdominal stretch in the center of the ring. Randalls is obviously in pain from the maneuver, and tries to break free. But Hornet has it cinched in tight. Randalls looks around for a rope to grab, but there are none within reach. What Randalls is left with is being stuck in a painful hold. SB: Not to mention he facing in the same direction where GUNS is standing. BB: And GUNS looks like he's yelling something out at Randalls. Randalls' attempt to break out of the hold gets even more forceful, and Hornet is forced to release the ad stretch. But Hornet remains in control. He sends Randalls down with another belly to back. And now he's going to whip Randalls across the ring. SB: Oh no. Lord, no, please let Randalls get out of the way. BB: Hornet irish whips Randalls diagonally across the ring, and Randalls hits the turnbuckle hard with his back. And here comes Hornet across for the HORNET SPLASH!!! But Randalls rolls out of the turnbuckle with Hornet in midair! SB: YES! BB: Hornet heads into the corner, but nobody's home! But he didn't crash into the buckle! He caught himself standing on the second rope! SB: WHAT? BB: Randalls doesn't know what's happened! He turns around to take the boot to Hornet, and Hornet comes off the ropes with a reverse flying body press!!!! He's got the leg hooked! Worthington's down to count! ONE........................................................ TWO........................................................ BB: THREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NO! Referee Ben Worthington says Randalls got his shoulder up just before the three-count. Hornet is saying something to Worthington, and Randalls rolls the former two-time Unified Champ up! ONE..........TWO.....no, Hornet kicks out, and both men scramble to their feet. Hornet was just a heartbeat away from a big victory! But now, Randalls sends Hornet into the ropes and sends him flying and into the other side of the ropes neck-first with a STUN GUN! Randalls hooks the leg, but gets only a one-count with the cover. Randalls tries to hook in the figure four, but Hornet kicks him away. Instead, Randalls sends Hornet to the mat with a german suplex! Randalls hooks the leg, but again only a one-count by Worthington who had to dive to get to the mat and count that one. Randalls pulls the stunned Hornet to his feet and comes off the ropes for a flying body press!!! But Hornet ducks the attempt at a cover! Randalls goes flying into the referee! SB: Oh no. Can this Worthington idiot ever stay out of the way? BB: Hey, it wasn't Ben's fault, Sammy. He was on the other side of the action, at least until the duck by Hornet! Randalls gets to his feet and disentangles himself from Worthington, but Hornet is on his feet and he drops Randalls with a dropkick! Both men get to their feet quickly! SB: Hey, what is GUNS doing? He wasn't there a second ago!? BB: GUNS is halfway around the ring from where he was. SB: He's moving faster than he was earlier with those crutches! BB: Inside the ring, Hornet and Randalls are trading punches. Randalls whips Hornet into the ropes, and then sends him over the top rope with a back bodydrop! That's a disqualification! SB: Not when the ref is out, goof. Hey, WHAT IS GUNS DOING!? BB: He just dropped the crutches and he grabs the wooden stake out of Randalls corner. Now he's rolling into the ring!!!! Randalls is still facing towards Hornet, but the yelling of the crowd prompts him to turn around! He sees GUNS, but it's too late, GUNS comes off the ropes and nails Randalls in the head with the stake!!!! SB: GUNS runs??? RUNS??? The man just had major knee surgery for goodness sakes! What the h*ll is going on here? BB: Randalls was knocked against the ropes by that hit, but now GUNS jabs Randalls in the stomach with his massive fists and that stake! Randalls doubles over, and GUNS nails Randalls in the head with a kneelift that has to make Randalls see stars! SB: A kneelift? KNEELIFT? BB: Randalls is almost unconscious in the middle of the ring, but GUNS continues to work on him, this time jabbing that stake into the back of Randalls' knee!! Randalls is getting paid back for the hole he put in GUNS' knee! On the other side of the ring, the ref is beginning to move, and outside the ring, Hornet is just getting up from the spill he took at the hands of Randalls that sent him head head first to the floor. GUNS' rolls out of the ring with the stake. Randalls is still down and out on the mat, and Worthington and Hornet get to their feet at the same time in the ring. Worthington goes over to ask Hornet what happened, and Hornet seems to be explaining going over the top rope. But neither man seems to know why Randalls' is bleeding from the nose. Worthington goes over and kneels beside Randalls. He lifts the arm a couple of times and checks the bleeding. Worthington has just called for the bell, he's going to rule Randalls unable to continue and it calling for some medical help. SB: I can't believe this. I really can't believe this. How in the world is GUNS' able to do that if he just had surgery? BB: A better question is where is the rest of Cornette and his CORP when their man is down here bleeding. SB: Ray S. told me after the Melton/Tsunami match that he was gonna take NC-17 and update them on some things. They may be back in the dressing rooms and have no idea what's going on. BB: Meanwhile, Worthington and Hornet are still talking. But here comes GUNS again. He pushes Hornet and Worthington to the mat and goes for GUNS again with the stake. Apparently he's decided his work here isn't done as he jabs the stake into knee of Randalls. That elicits a response from Randalls, the pain bringing him back to consciousness. Worthington is first over to GUNS to try and stop him, but he gets pushed out of the way and out of the ring, hitting hard on the floor. And now Hornet goes over and tries to pull GUNS off of the injured Randalls. GUNS tries to push Hornet away, but Hornet pushes back. Hornet dodges a big shortarm clothesline from GUNS, spins him around and sits the big man down with an atomic drop that sends him across the ring. Hornet helps Randalls to his feet. Randalls is obviously limping slightly. Randalls and Hornet are back in one corner, facing off against GUNS who fills the opposite corner. Hornet whispers something in Randalls ear! SB: This is it! We now know who Hornet's partner is gonna be. BB: Randalls and Hornet advance slowly towards GUNS who does not come out of his corner to meet them. Both men seem eager to get their hands on the big man, but they're being very cautious. Randalls takes one step ahead of Hornet. Hornet just clipped him! Hornet just CLIPPED RANDALLS IN THAT INJURED KNEE! Randalls drops like a sack of bricks, howling in pain!!! Hornet grabs his legs, and he cinches in the SCORPION DEATHLOCK!!!!! GUNS comes out of the corner and puts the boots to Randalls' head and midsection! SB: IT WAS A SETUP! I can't believe it!!! If Jim Williams ever needed any more proof, here it is! BB: But here comes the calvary for Randalls!!! The Karelins and NC-17 are running down the aisle! Hornet lets up on the Scorpion and rolls out of the ring, but GUNS is still in their pounding away on Randalls. The Karelins hit the ring first, and Alexandr Karelin crashes into GUNS, knocking him away from Randalls. Wildstar and Tsunami hit next, and they pull the bleeding Randalls out of the ring before GUNS can get back to him. But here comes Hornet back in the ring with a chair! He nails Ivan Karelin to the back of the head, then throws it outside the ring. Alex Karelin and GUNS are trading blows. Alex turns to aid his brother who is being pummeled by Hornet, and GUNS rocks him with a kneelift. Wildstar runs back down the aisle, having gotten Randalls back to the dressing rooms. He picks up the discarded chair on the way in and goes after Hornet. He misses Hornet with the chair and has it ripped out of his hands by the larger man. Hornet swings and hits Wildstar, and then heads towards the Karelins, who abandon the attack and roll out of the ring. Ray S. Cornette motions for all three men to regroup, and the CORP heads out the back door, leaving GUNS and Hornet in the ring! We're gonna get an interview with these two men, fans, in just a moment when my son Billy can get down there. I don't think I've ever seen anything like this in the CSWA! SB: I'm telling you. Jim Williams has been saying it for months now, and he's been proven right over and over again. Hornet is the Antichrist, and all these little kids out here with facepaint on....their parents need to take a second look. BB: Let's head down to the ring. ByB: Thanks, Dad. I'm standing here with Hornet and GUNS! Let's start with the obvious....GUNS, how in the world are you able to do what you just did? The whole world knows you just had knee surgery a few weeks ago. GUNS: And the whole world is right, Billy. But once the doctors began the surgery, they realized they would have to totally replace my knee rather than be able to reconstruct it. So, you might say that I was the recipient of a 'bionic' knee. Anyway, you just saw what I'm able to do. And Mike Randalls got what he's deserved since APOCALYPSE, plain and simple. ByB: Hornet, what brought all this on for you? Hornet: Billy, in June, Mike Randalls did one of the most gruesome things every done in our sport. He put a whole in this man's knee right here. What he got tonight was just a portion of what Randalls has given out. GUNS came to me and asked for my help, and that's exactly what he got. GUNS: I owe this man for a lot of things, but this was important. ByB: So, does this mean that we'll be seeing Hornet and GUNS take on Adler and Windham at SUPERSTITION? Hornet: I don't know, Billy, I've yet to ask GUNS if he'll do it or not. But if he'll have me as a partner, I know I'd be happy to have him in my corner. What do you say big man? GUNS: Well, let's see. The knee's feeling fine, although I'll probably need some aspirin later on tonight. And I've definitely got some unfinished business to take care of, and not just with Randalls. I'll be there. ByB: Well, there you have it, fans! Hornet has found a new partner, and his name is GUNS! These two men have sealed it with a handshake, or maybe a contract in Mike Randalls' blood. Back to you, Dad! BB: What a night. I thought I had seen enough when NC-17 turned on Teri Melton. But this....wow. Well, fans, thanks for joining us for CSWA SHOWTIME! We'll see at SUPERSTITION '95: COLLISION COURSE! For my son Billy, Sammy Benson, and myself, this is Bill Buckley saying good night! SB: I really need a drink.........
