CSWA PRIMETIME in Orlando July 7, 1997 -------------------------- (U-62 newsanchor Lyle McDonald breaks into the showing of CSWA PRIMETIME in Orlando...) LM: Ladies and gentlemen, we now break into our regular programming to bring you breaking news. The Mars Pathfinder probe to the Red Planet has been released and has landed. We expect to have the first pictures coming through in just a few moments....wait a minute, here they are. And folks.....OH MY LORD!!!! (The television flashes a picture of a strange being.....in a red suit.....and..... short. It's the RED MIDGET!) What's HE doing on MARS!? ------------------------------------------------------------ (In a hotel room in Chicago....a sweat-drenched Sammy Benson sits straight up in bed) SB: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! ------------------------------------------------------------ RS: Fans, this is Rudy Seitzer, coming to you LIVE on U-62 with a special pre-PRIMETIME interview. We're here in the bowels of the O-Rena, where I've tracked down CSWA Co-Commissioner Chad Merritt, who is supposed to be making a special announcement tonight. Mr. Merritt, what will the announcement be regarding? CM: The CSWA of course, what did you think? RS: Well, sure the CSWA....but what will the announcement involve? CM: Well, Rudy, as they say.....I can't tell you now, but I'll tell you later. RS: Aw, come on Chad, just one little hint. CM: It's really sad to see you whine, Rudy. Let's just say, the announcement isn't about your firing. RS: Well folks, there you have it.....nothing helpful from Merritt, as usual. We're now going to send you over to the other end of the O-Rena, where Stan Parsons is with our other co-commissioner, Stephen Thomas. SP: Thanks, Rudy. Well, Mr. Thomas, no help from Merritt on his surprise announcement. Do you know what it's regarding? ST: Stan, if I've learned anything over these last few months, it's not to try and guess what idiotic move Merritt may make. SP: So you have no idea what he might do? ST: None at all. What I do know is that we've got a great line-up for tonight. SP: That's for sure. Well, Mr. Thomas, thanks for your time. ST: No problem, Stan. SP: Fans, after these message from U-62, we'll return with the start of CSWA PRIMETIME in Orlando! ----------------------------------------------------------- BB: Welcome wrestling fans!!! We are here LIVE in the O-Rena for CSWA PRIMETIME in Orlando!!! I'm here with co-host Sammy Benson. Sammy, it's scary to say it once again, but the CSWA is back! SB: Well, it's about damn time! BB: Sammy, your language. SB: Shut up, Buckley, I'm not in the mood to hear it from you tonight. BB: What's wrong with you? SB: You try having police and FBI follow you around for weeks when you've done nothing wrong. BB: Ah, I see. Oh well, the show must go on. SB: I'm amazed at the compassion I can always expect from you. And you wonder why my best friend is Jack Daniels. BB: Fans, before this becomes an AA meeting, let's run down tonight's card for you! Two young lions in the wrestling world go up against each other as SCOTT POWELL take on "The Rant" RICKY GANT. These two young men have certainly had enough words for each other outside the ring, but now they've got to take on each other inside the ropes. SB: I'm amazed at how you can take a simple match and make it sound like the fate of the universe hinges on it. BB: Hey, that's my job. The Family's leader, ANTONIO DIROMA looks to get a big win over another of wrestling's youngsters, SEAN SWIFT. DiRoma's stablemate "Knuckles" ROCCO NARDONI looks to establish himself against the returning former champ BILLY STARR. SB: He's back? I didn't know he left. BB: STEVE FIENNES looks to continue his foray into singles competition, but this time he has to take on former Enterprise World Champion TIMMY WINDHAM. Both men are looking to regain championship form, but both are known more for their tag team dominance. Between the two of them, they've held more than ten tag team titles. SB: Yeah, but where Timmy is, there is his big brother. Speaking of which....didn't Mark think his family was killed in a fire in his youth? BB: Yep....only to later find out that his little brother ran away, and his parents were involved as CIA operatives. SB: Hmmm, Timmy didn't originally go by the name Cain did he? BB: Not that I know of, why? SB: No reason. No reason at all. BB: BONECRUSHER looks to regain his singles dominance, but to do so, he's got to go through a man who made it to the FINAL FOUR of the CSWA World Tournament, JOE MASSACRE. And in a TOP CONTENDERS match, SHANE SOUTHERN and ELIMINATOR battle to see who will head to the top and the inevitable title shot. The UNIFIED World Tag Team Titles are on the line when DAWN OF A NEW DAY finally have to defend their titles against KILLER INSTINCT, as Massacre once again pulls double duty. And in the final two matches, the United States Title is on the line, as JULIUS GODREIGN defends his title against the runner-up in the battle royal at SHOCKWAVE, HELLION. Finally, CSWA World Champion GUNS takes on MJ DEAN for the fourth, and possibly final time, with the title on the line. And that's not even mentioning a special interview with Chad Gibson, and a special announcement by CSWA co-owner Chad Merritt! SB: Well, ya just mentioned it. BB: Like I said, that's my job. Fans, we'll be right back to kick things off! *********************************************************** Billy Swift v. "The Boss" Antonio DiRoma ************************************************************ BUCKLEY: Ladies and gentlemen we are set for this match, two of the newer wrestlers to the rings of the CSWA. "The Boss" is a member of the Family which sports some impressive people here in the CSWA and in other organizations. BENSON: Who cares, let's just get to the matches so I can get my paycheck and go home. You think I care who this goombah is. BUCKLEY: Who knows Benson, "The Boss" could make your life real difficult in the months to come, although that might be almost impossible to make things worse for you... Hey isn't that a policeman coming this way ? BENSON: What... where.... Buckley you Don't do that again or I'll show you who the real boss is. BUCKLEY: What are you going to do Sammy, threaten me too ? BENSON: Don't go there. BUCKLEY: Both men are in the ring now and ready to lock up. Here's the lock up and The Boss just throws Swift back into the ropes. Swift looks a tad big angry at being manhandled like that. He steps back up to DiRoma and they lock up again. DiRoma once again just shrugs off Sean Swift and sends him to the ropes. Swift pissed now, charges at DiRoma.... POWERSLAM. ... Covers... ONE...TWO.... KICKOUT. BENSON: Swift better control himself, he's up against a tough competitor and can't be running around mad like that or DiRoma will make him pay. BUCKLEY: Both men back to their feet and DiRoma is right on the offensive.... Sends Swift to the ropes for the ride..... catches him..... SPINEBUSTER. Another cover.... ONE...TWO...KICKOUT again. This match looks like it might not last long. Swift is in big trouble. DiRoma grabs him by the head and brings him back to his feet again. Scoops him up.... THUNDERING Body Slam. DiRoma not going for the cover this time... instead he bounces off the ropes.... Leg drop.... NO BODY HOME. Swift able to roll away at the last second. Both men getting to their feet, DROP KICK by Swift sends DiRoma sprawling backwards.... Another drop kick by Swift and DiRoma is on his butt. Swift drags him right back to his feet.... Whips him to the ropes.... DIVING CLOTHESLINE.... Cover... ONE...TW-KICKOUT. DiRoma now looking for a breather, slides under the bottom rope and outside the ring. BENSON: I don't know what happened, the Boss looks like he could use a little help. Maybe he'll make someone an offer they can't refuse. BUCKLEY: He better do something quickly, here comes Swift... SUICIDE DIVE.... OHHHH. Swift finds no one home and crashes into the ring barrier. DiRoma was able to move away and it looks like he was playing possum. BENSON: Say goodnight Gracey. BUCKLEY: DiRoma grabs Swift and scoops him up..... DROPS HIM NECK FIRST on that barrier and Swift is in some serious trouble. BENSON: Smart move here by DiRoma, he just rolled in and out of the ring to break the count. No need to get counted out when you're kicking butt like he is now. BUCKLEY: That's true Sammy. DiRoma is moving the pads away from the cement concrete surrounding the ring and is grabbing Swift again now.... he has him set up for a Piledriver... NAILS him on the concrete floor... we're going to need some help for Swift. He's out of it now. DiRoma slides him back into the ring now and is taunting the fans at ringside. BENSON: When you're the "Boss" you're entitled to live the good life. BUCKLEY: That might be true, but he's got a match. BENSON: Come on Buckley, Swift is dead in there. Bring a body bag... get the coroner. BUCKLEY: Sammy you certainly seem to know a lot about dead bodies. BENSON: That's just not funny Buckley. BUCKLEY: Guess I just have you seeing... "RED". Anyway, DiRoma seems to be done taunting those fans in the front row, and is it me or does that one guy look a tad bit familiar. I can't make it out, but if we hear anything we'll pass it along to you. DiRoma now climbs the ring steps and is back in the ring. Covers Swift.... ONE....TWO....KICKOUT. He took too long and Swift got a bit of fight left in him yet. BENSON: The Boss doesn't look happy now. BUCKLEY: That's for sure, he grabs Swift by the head and brings him up again.... SMALL PACKAGE by Swift... ONE...TWO. KICKOUT by DiRoma who now gets to his feet and he's really mad now. He charges at Swift... ARM DRAG takedown. Both men right back up and Swift brings him down with another Arm Drag. Swift and The Boss both right back to their feet and Swift nails him with a great standing Drop Kick. The tide has turned it appears.... Swift grabs DiRoma and pulls him up... VERTICAL SUPLEX.... And the cover.... ONE...TWO...KICKOUT. DiRoma slowly back to his feet and Swift is waiting.... Irish whips him into the corner.... FOLLOWS HIM IN... NO ONE HOME and Swift nails that turnbuckle hard...... DiRoma catches him coming out of the corner... INVERTED ATOMIC DROP. BENSON: YYEEEEEOOOOWWWW That hurt me just looking at it. Don't show that one on instant replay. BUCKLEY: Swift now, BELLY TO BELLY SUPLEX. Covers....ONE...TWO...KICKOUT by Swift. DiRoma back to his feet....NECKBREAKER. That should be about all.... DiRoma lines him up, and Drops the Elbow.... Now he covers... ONE....TWO.... THREE..... The winner of the match, "The Boss" Antonio DiRoma. BENSON: The family looks like they could be a force to reckon with here in the CSWA. We still have another family member who will face the cripple later on in tonight's card BUCKLEY: That's not fair, Billy Starr is supposed to be back one hundred percent since his injury... he's had months to recuperate. BENSON: Time will tell.... That's all I'm saying. BUCKLEY: That is true, but before we get to our next match, I've been told that we will have some special guest joining us. Stay tuned after this commercial. ----------------------------------------------------------- BUCKLEY: Fans we are back and we're going to head to the ring for a special interview from what I have been told, although I don't know exactly what is going on. BENSON: Nothing new there. BUCKLEY: FUNNY. HOUSE SPEAKERS: Ladies and Gentlemen, children of all ages, what you are about to witness is not for all fans.... parents may want to please take their children away from the arena for the next few minutes. The people coming out in a few minutes have been considered more then entire wrestling organizations can handle and parental discretion is advised. BUCKLEY: Well you heard it folks, this must be something for this kind of warning from the CSWA. <<>>> WE ARE THE NATION.... WE ARE THE NATION.... WE ARE THE NATION.... OF MASTERBATION. BUCKLEY: What in the world is this. I can't believe this. This is bizzare. BENSON: What's a matter Buckley, this hit a little closer to home then you care to see ? BENSON: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. MIDGETS... I can't believe it. I thought they were finally gone.... BUCKLEY: What's a freak show without some midgets. I'm not surprised. "SPANKY" RICHARDS: That's right, we are the Nation, of Masterbation and we are hear to take the CSWA by storm. We're tired of the sexually repressed people like Chad Merritt and Steven Thomas running the world. Although we do hold out hope for Thomas, we think that he's NOM material if you know what I mean. But the other uptight people here in the CSWA better be prepared for the Nation because we're taking matters into our own hands.... Tell em Stan. "SOLO" STAN STROKIT: That's right Spanky we're here and we have a mission to accomplish. And we will, night after night, over and over again..... then we'll get into the rings and beat you. Sounds about right, beat the meat and then beat the competition. Tell em Hands. HANDS SOLO: The Nation is too much for people, the NGEN begged us to please go elsewhere, that they couldn't handle us. Well I can handle me just fine and I plan on doing it and nothing will stop me. "SPANKY" RICHARDS: Get ready because the NOM is here, and things are going to get a little sticky in the CSWA. HOLD UP THEIR HANDS IN A NOM PRIDE SALUTE AND THEN BEGIN TO MOVE THE HANDS UP AND DOWN QUICKLY> BUCKLEY: All I can say is we need to take a commercial break. BENSON: ... WE ARE THE NATION... BUCKLEY: We are back and fans I am still appaled at the things that we just saw here tonight. I can't believe that such people would be allowed to come here to the CSWA and make it on television. BENSON: Well what other choice did Merritt and Thomas have. Did they want to look like another wimp who's afraid to have anyything contoversial in their league ? This ain't white bread wrestling you know. BUCKLEY: Maybe the officals at the NGEN were right though, to keep them out of the league. BENSON: Two Words Buckley... BOR-ING. BUCKLEY: I can't believe that you are for this, considering that we saw more midgets invade the CSWA with this new organization. BENSON: Well I guess you need to take the good with the bad. And a few little guys running around can't be that bad, because I have to say this is just funny stuff. BUCKLEY: Well fans we still have more wrestling action for you tonight, if we can put behind us the past interview and get on with the matches. Our next match also has some newcommers to the CSWA as "The Rant" Ricky Gant makes his CSWA debut and does so against the TST's "Superstar" Scott Powell. ************************************************************ "SUPESTAR" SCOTT POWELL v. "THE RANT" RICKY GANT ************************************************************ BUCKLEY: The Rant is already in the ring and we are awaiting the Superstar. <<< "Killboy Powerhead" by Offspring; plays as the Superstar Scott Powell makes his way down to ringside >>> BUCKLEY: Gant not waiting for the bell or for Powell to make it into the ring, dives out of the ring and immedietly begins to go to work on the Superstar. Pounding away on him with closed fists and forearms and Powell is down to his knees. Gant nails him with a knee to the head and flings him into the ring. The bell finally rings and this one is underway. BENSON: Hey you know Powell had a good point, what does "The Rant" mean anyway... BUCKLEY: Have you heard Ricky Gant's comments yet, sounds like he's ranting to me... a perfect nickname. Anyway, Gant continues to work over Powell in the ring now. This isn't wrestling, this is just a vicious street fight and right now Powell doesn't seem to stand a chance. Gant is leveling him with blow after blow. Powell is down and Gant just kicked him right out of the ring. BENSON: I guess The Rant is just too much for him and that Powell isn't much of a Superstar at all. BUCKLEY: Well it could be that Gant attacked him before the bell and that Powell hasn't even had the time to get his ring jacket off before being visiouly attacked. Powell needs some time to get a breather and start over in this one. BENSON: Whatever, you just don't want to admit that the Rant was right and he is going to kick everyone's A$$ here in the CSWA. BUCKLEY: That certainly remains to be seen. Powell now back to his feet on the outside and appears ready to start this match for real now. He climbs back into the ring and Ricky Gant is waiting for him again. Again pounding him with a series of forearms and closed fist punches. BENSON: If Ricky could say so himself, I think he might call this queer bashing. BUCKLEY: First of all there is nothing other then Gant's comments to indicate that Scott Powell is a homosexual and secondly Sammy that comment was out of line. I think you owe our homosexual audience an apology. BENSON: Sorry freaks. BUCKLEY: You're a waste Sammy. SCOTT POWELL v. RICKY GANT continues BUCKLEY: Let's just get back to the action in the ring. Gant whips Powell to the ropes... Back Body Drop... NO SUNSET FLIP by Powell.... ONE...T-No a kickout by Gant. Both men back up to their feet, Single leg takedown by Powell and he rolls over into a reverse chinlock. Finally Powell is able to slow the pace down to his preference and utilize his vast mat skills. BENSON: Whoopdy darn doo. How utterly exciting. BUCKLEY: Gant trying to get back to his feet, but Powell is applying a lot of pressure on him....finally Gant is able to reach the ropes and force a break. Both men back up to their feet and eyeing each other. BENSON: Gant doesn't look too happy, I think he really was having fun beating the snot out of Powell. BUCKLEY: Both men lock up now, arm bar by Powell.... Gant backs him to the ropes and sends him for the ride.... Powell off the ropes, FLYING CROSS BODY BLOCK... Cover. ONE... KICKOUT. Both men right back to their feet, Arm Drag take down by Powell and he turns it into an arm lock. Powell again slows down the pace and works on the arms of "The Rant" BENSON: He better work him down a lot, because Ricky Gant seems to be a man with a whole lot of energy. He needs to control the match and take a part Gant piece by piece. BUCKLEY: That's what he's doing now, working that arm lock, keeping Gant off his feet and using his ametaur skills to his advantage.Gant now trying to get back to his feet again, and Powell applies more pressure.... trying to keep Gant down. Gant makes it back up to his feet and nails Powell with an elbow into the midsection. Powell loosens his grip and Gant nails him again this time with a closed fist. Powell is staggered.... GANT... BELLY TO BELLY SUPLEX. And Powell goes slamming down to the canvas. Gant drags him right back up to his feet, SNAP SUPLEX. Gant stays right on the offensive... lifts him up... holds him straight up... VERTICLE SUPLEX and Powell slams hard to the canvas again. BENSON: Now that we are seeing some real wrestling from Gant, we see that he's an impressive suplex type of guy, wonder what else he has to show us tonight. BUCKLEY: Gant clearly in control now and he's mocking Powell in the ring, and listen to these fans boo. BENSON: They actually are cheering for some guy who considers himself a terrorist. I can't believe it. BUCKLEY: Either can I Sammy, but look at the two choices here. Gant or Powell, neither you're typical fan favorite. BENSON: I don't know about that, Powell is enough of a wimp boy to be liked by the fans. BUCKLEY: Gant lifts Powell back to his feet now, SMALL PACKAGE. ONE...TWO...KICKOUT by Gant. Powell caught him by surprise there and almost had a quick victory. Gant right back to his feet and begin stomping on Powell. That pissed him off big time and right now Powell is paying. Gant grabs Powell by the hair and drags him back up to his feet, European Uppercut. Powell staggered backfollows it to the corner, Powell follows him in with a Splash... Powell is out of it on his feet, Gant grabs him, Inverted Atomic Drop. BENSON: Where is his terrorist buddies now, no one out there to save him. BUCKLEY: Gant clearly in control.... lifts up Powell off the canvas again and throws him right over the top rope and down to the arena floor. Powell hits hard and looks like he's in some big trouble now. BENSON: He certainly is, I told you that Ricky Gant was the real deal and needed to be watched out for. BUCKLEY: Well right now that's certainly the case. Gant now rolls out of the ring and over to where Powell is spread out on the canvas. Gant lifts him up... IRISH WHIP into the ring steps.... Powell crunches to the floor BUCKLEY: Powell is in some big trouble now and Gant clearly enjoying the situation. Look at him playing it up to the fans now... he's yelling at them and insulting them from what it appears. What he should be doing is concentrating on finishing off his opponent Scott Powell. BENSON: Powell is finished already and Gant knows it. He's just enjoying his first CSWA match, nothing wrong with that. BUCKLEY: Gant now rolls into the ring to break the count and he's getting right in the face of the referee. We can't hear what he's saying though. BENSON: I'd bet that he's criticizing the sloopy work in this one. To think of counting out the Rant would be a travesty. BUCKLEY: You're kissing up so much, I almost think that you could wind up back in the managing position. BENSON: Anything is possible, anything.... BUCKLEY: Even jail time. BENSON: SHUT UP. BUCKLEY: Gant now back outside the ring again and he's pulling Powell to his feet. He's going to whip him again, NO REVERSE by Powell. Gant flies into the ring post. Both men are down now on the canvas and the referee is counting both men out. BENSON: COME ON RICKY !!!! BUCKLEY: Both men slowly up to their feet and Powell rolls into the ring to break the count at ten. Both of these men have taken too much punishment and worked too hard for this to be a double countout. Both men trying to get back up and continue the fight. Looks like Gant is going to get up first. He's up to his feet but Powell was waiting for him. Elbow to the midsection, followed up with a snap mare. Gant rolls over and gets back to his feet, Russian Leg Sweep by Powell. BENSON: Powell keeping Gant off balance now and that's got to be getting the Rant a tad bit angry. BUCKLEY: Both men to their feet again and Powell grabs Gant in a side head lock. Gant backs him to the ropes and whips him across the ring. Powell on the return, SHOULDERBLOCK and Both men stagger but stay on their feet. Powell back to the ropes again, comes off.... GANT CATCHES HIM... SPINEBUSTER. Gant not wasting time drags Powell right back to his feet. Scoop Slam... WHAM Powell goes back down hard to the canvas. BENSON: Stick a fork in him, he's done. BUCKLEY: Gant though not happy yet, he's bringing him back to his feet again.... scoops him up... RUNNING POWERSLAM. A Cover, ONE...TWO...THR-NO. Somehow Powell is able to get the kickout. Gant lifts him back to his feet, he's setting him up for his finisher... here it is... THE CRASH AND BURN... ONE...TWO...THREE And it's over. BENSON: What a move, a modified Tiger Driver and it really took the last bit of fight out of Powell and gives an impressive victory to "The Rant" Ricky Gant in his debut match here in the CSWA. BUCKLEY: That's right Sammy, this one is in the books. Next up we have a returning CSWA wrestler who hasn't been with us for several months. BENSON: Too bad he's back now. BUCKLEY: Fans we'll be right back. ---------------------------------------------------------- BUCKLEY: Fans we're back and as promised we have a "Starr" of the ring returning to CSWA action. You might remember what happened last year to Billy Starr, but if not let's take a quick look back at his CSWA career. BUCKLEY: That was the last match in the CSWA rings for Billy Starr, but we have learned that since then he has recuperated and has returned to action in promotions around the world.... And tonight he returns to the rings here in the CSWA. ************************************************************ Billy Starr vs. 'Knuckles' Rocco Nardoni ************************************************************ BUCKLEY: Fans Rocco is in the ring now and we're waiting for Billy Starr to come down. BENSON: The big question is whether or not Teri Melton will be back in his corner. I could sure go for some hooters now about now. BUCKLEY: Well here comes Billy led to the ring by his protege Lee Jackson, but no sign of Teri, sorry Sammy. BENSON: First of all Lee Jackson is no protege, he's nothing but a big black hired goon who makes sure that Billy Starr doesn't have that precious little back broken again, and with no Teri Melton why bother watching. BUCKLEY: Whatever Sammy. Whatever. Both men are in the ring now and we are ready to lock up. Nardoni with the power advantage wins the lock up and gets Billy Starr into a side head lock. Starr looking to get out quickly, backs Nardoni to the ropes... Irish Whip... NO Held on by Nardoni and he brings Starr crashing down to the canvas. That looked like a modified Bulldog. Nardoni in control but Billy Starr trying to get back to his feet.... he's standing and working back to the corner.... Backs Nardoni into it and the referee calls for the break..... clean break by both men. BENSON: That's something that Billy Starr should be used to, a clean break. BUCKLEY: Another lock up, Arm Bar by Starr.... Nardoni tries to reverse, but Starr is right there to re-reverse. He's got the pressure on it but Nardoni backs him to the ropes... Irish Whip.... Leap Frog by Starr on the return over a ducking Nardoni...Starr to the far side ropes.... returns.... CROSS BODY BLOCK.... ONE...KICKOUT by Nardoni... Both men back to their feet, DROP KICK by Starr... both men quickly rise again... Another drop kick by Starr.... Nardoni a little upset now back to his feet and charges at Star.... ARM DRAG take down. BENSON: Starr looks a bit lighter and more agile then when he left the wrestling world... BUCKLEY: That appears true Sammy. Starr with Nardoni again. SNAP SUPLEX. Starr now has turned the tides on this one and is doing well. Starr not letting Nardoni rest up for even a second has him right back to his feet.... Irish Whips him into the corner... SPLASH... But Nardoni moved out of the way... Starr hits the buckle hard.... Both men down now, who will be first to get back to their feet. BENSON: From the back here comes "The Boss" Antonio DiRoma, I guess he wants to see what his men are up to tonight. This can't be a good thing for Billy Starr. BUCKLEY: Both men slowly back to their feet now but DiRoma Starr v. Nardoni continues BUCKLEY: grabs the leg of Billy Starr and holds him down a second till Nardoni can get to his feet and ready to fight. Nardoni now grabs Billy by the hair... HEADBUTT. BENSON: There's a move you don't see everyday. BUCKLEY: Starr reeling.... Nardoni scoops him up and SLAMS HIM TO THE CANVAS. Starr in a bit of trouble again... Now Nardoni lifts him right back up... Over the Knee Backbreaker. BENSON: I guess we will see tonight just how much damage that back of Starr's can take... can we say snap, crackle, and pop. BUCKLEY: Nardoni with the pin attempt... ONE...TWO.... KICKOUT by Starr. Nardoni brings him back to his feet, sets him up... VERTICLE SUPLEX.... Another cover... ONE...TWO...KICKOUT again. Starr clearly in trouble now and he needs to figure out what to do. BENSON: give up now and go back home to his recliner and watch this stuff on television. That's what Billy Starr needs to do. BUCKLEY: Nardoni playing it up a little now, and "The Boss" looks happy with what's going on too... Nardoni sets up Starr... PILEDRIVER. That could be all... ONE.....TWOOO...THR-NOOOOO. Starr got his foot to the rope. I can't believe it. Nardoni is upset now and he kicks Starr under the bottom rope and outside the ring. "The Boss" looks like he's going to work his way over there, but I from the other side here comes Lee Jackson to make sure he doesn't get in the middle of it. Jackson and "The Boss" face to face now.... looking each other right in the eye... OH NO... HERE COMES NARDONI WITH A CHAIR... JACKSON MOVED... NARDONI JUST NAILED "THE BOSS" with a chair. Nardoni stunned, Jackson grabs the chair and Nails Nardoni. Jackson now the only one standing. He rolls Nardoni back into the ring, he rolls Starr back into the ring and the referee is counting both men out now. BENSON: See that, see Billy Starr had Lee Jackson cheat for him, I told you that Jackson shouldn't be allowed at ringside and he's nothing but a paid goon. BUCKLEY: Sammy Stop it... Lee Jackson did nothing wrong, Nardoni tried to hit him with the steel chair and he defended himself. Get over it. Billy Starr now trying to get back to his feet now and see's that "Knuckles" Nardoni is in trouble too. He gets Nardoni to his feet, whips him to the ropes... FRANK'N'STEINER. Starr to the middle rope now.... Drops an elbow on Nardoni.... this could be all... Starr now back to the ropes... all the way to the top.... here it is.... SHOOTING STARR PRESS..... HE NAILED IT... WHAT A MOVE... ONEEEEE....TWOOOOOO....THREEEEEEEEE This one is over. Billy Starr wins in his return to the CSWA. BENSON: He robbed Knuckles, that's what happened. BUCKLEY: The Boss just jumped in the ring and nails Billy Starr with an elbow to the back of the head, now he's pounding away at Billy.... Lee Jackson gets into the ring too and nails the Boss..... Jackson and the Boss now standing off, exchanging blows.... the referees are in the ring now trying to break this up.... fans we'll be right back with more action. ----------------------------------------------------------- BILL BUCKLEY: The O-Rena has been rocking all night, Sammy! The fans, well they appreciate great wrestling! SAMMY BENSON: If that was the case, they wouldn't be here.. now would they? BILL BUCKLEY: You're welcome for the set up.. SAMMY BENSON: It's so hard to find good help these days.. I mean I imagine that's why somebody had RED killed. BILL BUCKLEY: Do you know something Sammy?!!! SAMMY BENSON: NO! (Sammy jumps out of his seat) Did you hear that!! Sounded like sirens.. BILL BUCKLEY: Settle down, Capone.. SAMMY BENSON: The darn feds, they're everywhere... BILL BUCKLEY: Oh lord..let's go to the ring. ============================================================ Joe Massacre vs. Bonecrusher BILL BUCKLEY: Massacre slides into the ring, with a chaing wrapped around his hands..he nails Bonecrusher in the back before the bell even rings! SAMMY BENSON: Now that's how you do it.. Obviously, he's read "Getting Ahead" By Sammy Benson! BILL BUCKLEY: A book about dating? SAMMY BENSON: I'm not above slapping your face.. BILL BUCKLEY: Massacre pounding on Bonecrusher with the chain! He's a big man as it is, it's not like he needs the chain to hurt someone. SAMMY BENSON: Every little bit helps, you have to understand that! BILL BUCKLEY: Massacre choking BC with the chain, as Worthington finally calls for the break! Worthington yanks the chain away from Massacre and throws it out of the ring. SAMMY BENSON: He's no fun... BILL BUCKLEY: Joe whips BC into the ropes, and catches him with a vicious clothesline! That one just about ripped BC into two parts! SAMMY BENSON: We've gone all night without a groin shot, it's long over due if you ask me. BILL BUCKLEY: Massacre bounces off the ropes, but misses an elbow drop! Bonecrusher staggers to his feet, forearm smash! BC delivers a shortarm clothesline! SAMMY BENSON: Is it just me or do I work better with a few beers in me? BILL BUCKLEY: That's enough. Bonecrusher, scoops Massacre up, bodyslam! The big man now, leaps onto the middle rope, and flies off with a elbow! SAMMY BENSON: It was a yes or no question... BILL BUCKLEY: Quick cover, ONE...TWO.NO! (Bonecrusher/Joe Massacre cont..) BILL BUCKLEY: Bonecrusher rolls outside the ring, and drags Massacre with him. Both wrestlers, love it out there, Sammy. SAMMY BENSON: Well, you've got two guys who love to inflict pain on someone else. Naturally, when you can go outside the ring and grab chairs, cokes, and pushups that's going to appeal to them! BILL BUCKLEY: Pushups? I don't want to know, do I? SAMMY BENSON: Um..no. BILL BUCKLEY: BC whips Massacre into the security railing! It's getting nasty now, he's got a chair with him, and some damage on Joe's head! Massacre rakes the eyes...picks up the chair and gives BC a taste of his own! SAMMY BENSON: One of these days someone is going to use the idiots who sit on the front row as a weapon...I mean you can't tell me that 400 lb woman over there couldn't kill someone.. BILL BUCKLEY: Massacre unfolds the chair...what's he going to do? OH! A DDT onto the chair! That's insane! The fans in Orlando love it..however. SAMMY BENSON: OH come on, Buckley loosen up. Enjoy these two morons beating the tar out of each other.. BILL BUCKLEY: Massacre fires BC's head into the ring... and manages to roll him back in! Joe's got a chair with him, but Worthington makes him take it back outside! SAMMY BENSON: You and the ref, I swear... BILL BUCKLEY: Bonecrusher fires a right hand into Massacre's gut..a clubbing forearm..now a gutwrench suplex! Bonecrusher drops a elbow, now he could be ready to finish it! SAMMY BENSON: Let's hope so, I need a bathroom break. BILL BUCKLEY: BC to the top rope...but Massacre leaps over and falls on the top rope, and that knocks Bonecrusher off his feet! SAMMY BENSON: Yeah, but he landed on his groin..finally! Justice is served! BILL BUCKLEY: Massacre, on the top rope with him...Joe hooks the arm, Top Rope DDT!! I don't believe it! That's gotta be it... SAMMY BENSON: As RED's killer, might have said, "Stick a fork i him, he's done." BILL BUCKLEY: Worthington to his knees for the count, ONE...TWO....THREE!!! It's over, Joe Massacre wins it! SAMMY BENSON: Who called it?? BILL BUCKLEY: Fans, we have to take a break but we'll be right back with Steve Fiennes! SAMMY BENSON: You mean, Morton.. ---------------------------------------------------------- BILL BUCKLEY: Great match we just saw, between Bonecrusher and Joe Massacre. SAMMY BENSON: Great, is a bit much...try decent. BILL BUCKLEY: Well whatever works. Right now, we've got Steve Fiennes verus Timmy Windham! As you pointed out just before we went to break, little over a month ago, Fiennes came out before a packed house and had more than a few things to say... Marvin do we have that tape ready?? SAMY BENSON: Like Marvin knows, the man is a dip. BILL BUCKLEY: I'm being told we do, let's roll it. This is from ANNIVERSARY! ------------------- RUDY SEIZTER: Okay thany you Bill, and uh...Sammy. Right now folks, please welcome one half of the CS Express, Steve Morton!! (crowd roars...The Chemical Brothers play over the sound system) RUDY SEIZTER: Steve, it's truely great to have you back in the CSWA! STEVE MORTON: Rudy, it's great to be back in the Skydome! (crowd cheers) I've had a lot of great moments in this building! RUDY SEIZTER: Indeed you have...Steve you wanted to talk... we're hear to listen! STEVE MORTON: Allow me to bend your ear for a second Rudy, about the CS Express, and why my best friend and tag team partner Chad Gibson isn't here with me...As the CSWA now celebrates it's 9th Anniversary, it's no secret who the greatest tag team during that time has been. It's no secret that we once held every tag belt in the CSWA at once..simply put Rudy we were the grestest team to ever walk god's green earth. However, our last days in the CSWA weren't what I'd call, vintage CS. We lost to teams we should have beaten.. we need to step away from it all, and take a good look in the mirror. RUDY SEIZTER: A little soul searching?! STEVE MORTON: Exactly. Personally, what I found is that I still love the sport as much today, as I did when I first broke in! (crowd cheers) I sat home, and watched teams like Dawn of a New Day take over. At 26 years old, Rudy, I wasn't ready to take up golf. So, I called Chad up, and said, "It's time to go back and take care of business". But, he said no. He doesn't want to come back, he doesn't want the CS Express to live on. At first, Rudy I was shocked. But then, I realized he's his own man. If he wants to stay out...that's his business. And my business is in the square circle. So here I am, Rudy. Back in the CSWA. But this isn't an offer for a tag team partner...because quite frankly I could never team with another man. If the CS Express is truely dead, then I'll make my own name in the singles divison! But there's one thing that's been bugging me for 9 years, Rudy. I'm not a Morton. Chad, he's not Gibson. In 1988, as a couple of 19 year olds who had talent, but didn't have a name...becoming the R&R Express sounded good. But to be honest we did more in one day than they did in 10 years! I'm not a clone, Rudy...I'm my own man. And I'll prove that, when I become the Unified World Heavyweight Champion! (Crowd cheers) My name is Steve Fiennes. Call me Fiennes, Morton I don't care. If the past is dead, then it's time for the future. ------------- BILL BUCKLEY: We'll be right back, with Steve Fiennes! (Fiennes/Windham cont...) BILL BUCKLEY: We just showed you Fiennes' announcment from the ANNIVERSARY celebration! Don't forget later tonight, Chad Gibson, Fiennes' longtime partner in the CS Express will have his chance to talk. Who knows what he'll say.. SAMMY BENSON: A better question is, who really cares.. BILL BUCKLEY: I know I do, as well as millions around the world who have cheered the CS Express for years! SAMMY BENSON: It's over, Buckley..let it go. BILL BUCKLEY: Fiennes has turned his attention to the singles rank, and after a victory at the debut of Shockwave, he's back tonight against Timmy Windham! ============================================================ Steve Fiennes vs Timmy Windham BILL BUCKLEY: Both men in the ring, there's the bell...and Fiennes goes across the ring to shake Windham's hand! You can already tell this is going to be technical wrestling only! SAMMY BENSON: You can't say, that Windham is a maniac. Who knows when he'll snap. I mean look at his Kermy doll, it's scared stiff! (laughs) BILL BUCKLEY: Fiennes with a headlock in the middle of the ring...Timmy backs him up...sends him across the ring, Windham drops down Steve leaps over him, Frank'n'Parsons by Windham! What a move! SAMMY BENSON: Not bad.. BILL BUCKLEY: Muppet Kid leaps on and bounces off of the middle rope, but Fiennes dropkicks him in midair! Steve goes outside to the otherside of the apron...Fiennes leaps on the top, and flies off with a Hurricana! ONE..TWO..NO! SAMMY BENSON: Let's just see these two goofs try moves like that on someone bigger, like Massacre or GUNS. BILL BUCKLEY: Fiennes hooks the arm of Windham, vertical suplex!! Fiennes to the top rope, but Timmy meets him up there! Muppet Kid with a superplex!! SAMMY BENSON: (laughs) Yeah, but trouble is on the way! BILL BUCKLEY: What in the?? Wildstar and Tsnuami, Dawn of a New Day, hit the ring they're all over Steve Fiennes! Wildstar sends Timmy over the top rope! Sammy, they want Fiennes! SAMMY BENSON: Alright, beat the snot out of him, boys! BILL BUCKLEY: Tsnuami holds up Fiennes, Wildstar drops him with a roundhouse kick! Wildstar has him in the Scorpion deathlock!! Timmy tries to get back in to help, but Tsnuami kicks him away!! SAMMY BENSON: I love it!! BILL BUCKLEY: We needs some help out here, fans we'll be back! -------------------------------------------------------- BB: Fans, we're back, and referee Ben Worthington has finally called for the bell, and he's issuing a five-count on Martinez and Massacre, who quickly discard the chain and chair and go to working over Dawn of a New Day by more conventional means. SB: Ya mean by beating the crap out of them? BB: Pretty much so, yeah. Massacre whips Wildstar into the corner, and now both members of Killer Instinct concentrate on Tsunami, whipping him into the ropes and dropping him over the top with a double back drop! Massacre quickly bows under the ropes to make referee Worthington happy, and we're finally down to a real match here. Martinez pulls Wildstar out of the corner and sends him for the ride into the corner of the Killer Instinct. Massacre holds Wildstar in the corner, and Martinez comes in hard with the high knee! "Mad" Joe lets go of Wildstar, and that half of the Unified Tag Champs hits the mat with Martinez mouthing "Timber!" to the fans. Martinez tags in Massacre, and the madman is in the ring and all over Wildstar. Massacre pulls Wildstar up and drops him with a DDT.....he pulls him up and drops him again! Massacre hooks the leg.....ONE.......TWO....NO! Wildstar gets the foot up and saves the titles for Dawn of a New Day. SB: Jimmy V better get to work soon. He got one-upped by Killer Instinct....he's gotta kick it into overdrive. BB: Massacre pulls Wildstar to his feet one more time and this time, Joe heads for the extra bounce from the ropes. Massacre goes down hard! Tsunami was still on the outside and he tripped up Massacre from the apron! Worthington has warned Tsunami, but the damage has been done. Tsunami quickly gets to his corner, but Wildstar is still dazed and confused as the movie goes. Massacre on the other hand is up to his knees and much closer to his corner. He tags in Martinez, and the "Eradicator" has Wildstar in his sights!! He hits the mat and nails Wildstar with a clothesline...but it just knocked Wildstar into the corner for the tag! Tsunami comes in with a series of kicks and chops that take Martinez off his feet. There's a spinning leg drop by Tsunami, and all of a sudden the momentum in this match has shifted to the Unified Tag Champs. Martinez tries to roll out of Tsunami's way toward his corner, but Tsunami quickly hooks in a boston crab that stops Martinez in his tracks. Martinez quickly grabs the ropes, and Worthington calls for the break! Troy dodges another attempt at a spinning leg drop from Tsunami and grabs the tag champ's heel, pulling him off his feet to the mat. Martinez drops an elbow, then quickly rolls to his corner, tagging Massacre in once again. Massacre comes in with a head full of steam, and LEVELS Tsunami with a spinning elbow and a knee to the midsection. Massacre sends Tsunami into the ropes, but gets caught by the lightning-quick former Unified Champ with a flying crossbody! Massacre goes down, and Tsunami follows with a cradle suplex! ONE.........no, Massacre kicks out. But Tsunami is already on his feet. He measures and connects with the savat kick, and now follows with a northern right suplex on the former NWC World Champion. Once again, that quickly, the Unified Tag Champs have things under control. Tsunami has Massacre backed up toward the Dawn of a New Day's corner. SB: A fan just broke through security and is running toward the ring! BB: And Junior Hornet is on his way down the aisle as well! Hold on, that fan's no fan! That's JASON WYLDER! Look at that leather jacket, it says "TST"! He's one of the Tri-State Terrors! It looks like he's trying to help out Killer Instinct, but Junior Hornet has caught up! (Unified Tag match; DAWN of a New Day vs. Killer Instinct continues) BB: Wylder looked like he was going to try and help out Massacre, who is caught in some kind of abdominal stretch manuever by Tsunami in the corner. Junior Hornet has hold of Wylder and he sends him into the ring apron. Now Junior has that bungee cord wrapped around Wylder's throat, and he's dragging Wylder back toward the long aisle. This crowd is going wild as Tsunami drops the abdominal stretch and tags in Wildstar. SB: They aren't cheering for the tag, Buckley. BB: HERE COMES STEVE MORTON! I'm sorry, FIENNES! He's got a chair in his hands, his ribs taped, and an ugly looking black eye, but he's coming down the aisle. And just hit Junior Hornet full on in the head with that chair!!! SB: You could hear that in Pensacola! BB: Inside the ring, Wildstar just dropped Massacre with a savat kick. Massacre's laid out in the center of the ring, and Wildstar tags in Tsunami, who is making his way to the top. Junior Hornet is down for the moment, and Steve Fiennes just jumped up on the ring apron and he's yelling at Wildstar! Referee Worthington is all over Morton, trying to keep this match free of interference.....but Jason Wylder won't let this opportunity pass the TSTs by! He just nailed the back of Tsunami's knee with a double axehandle blow! Tsunami takes the eight-foot drop to the mat while Wylder catches Wildstar with a hard right hand! Wylder jumps down to the floor as does Fiennes! Massacre rolls over, he's got the cover on Tsunami!!! Worthington down for the count! ONE............TWO.................... THREE!!! We have NEW UNIFIED WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS! Wildstar can't believe it! Martinez is estatic, he's in the ring and quickly pulls Massacre to his feet! Ben Worthington has the titles, and he's putting them in the hands of the new title holders, KILLER INSTINCT! SB: A travesty. I promise you, for Jimmy V and DAWN, this isn't over, not by a long shot. Fiennes may have just signed his death warrant. BB: Jason Wylder is in the ring with his stablemates, and here come Chris Caros and Chad Mason for the celebration as well! The Tri-State Terrors have hit gold once again, as Killer Instinct take hold of the most prestigious tag belts in our sport! What a win for these two young men. Massacre's used to having the twenty pounds of gold around his waist, but this has got to be a great new feeling for young Troy Martinez. What a night for that young man. Meanwhile, Wildstar and Junior Hornet are helping Tsunami down the aisle, it's obvious that that knee is bothering the young superstar. Folks, we're going to head out for another commercial break, we'll be back after this. -------------------------------------------------------- BB: Fans, we're back, and we've got a very special interview upcoming. The following interview was done by Rudy Seitzer and taped earlier today in Houston, Texas. Let's take a look. RS: This is Rudy Seitzer coming to you from a beautiful house in the suburbs of Houston, Texas. This is the home of former Unified World Tag Team Champion and half of the CS Express, Chad Gibson. Chad, thanks for having us in your home. (Gibson is sitting on his living room couch with his wife next to him, and their two young children in their laps.) CG: It's our pleasure, Rudy. RS: Chad, you've been away from the sport for about a year now. What made you and Steve call it quits for a while? CG: Well, Rudy, to be quite honest, there were two major reasons. The first was a nagging knee injury that I was suffering with. The second was simply boredom. We had done it all. The competition was still there, we were still near the top of our game, but, other things became more important, like my family and the birth of my son. RS: Your former partner has announced his return to the ring singles competition. He says that you turned him down when he asked you to compete with him again. CG: Steve's telling the absolute truth. He asked me to return the ring, and we sat down and talked for a while about the pros and cons. I decided that money wasn't a factor, proving our names in the history books was a nonissue, and there wasn't anyone out there that we hadn't beaten. I decided that my family *was* more important, even though my wife Karen assured me that if I wanted to go back to wrestling, I could. I think I made the right choice, and I think Steve made the right choice for himself. RS: Speaking of Steve, he made another announcment recently, that his real surname is Fiennes.... CG: And mine is Dandy, Chad Dandy. When we entered this sport, a promoter in a small promotion asked us what our 'wrestling' name were.....through our emulation and respect of the Rock 'N Roll Express, we decided to name ourselves after them. But I guess that's all over now....the CS Express isn't coming back. RS: We're all saddened to hear that. CG: Sometimes, Rudy, you gotta do whatcha gotta do. I can't live in the past, and I certainly can't predict the future. I've gotta do what I think is right for the now, the present. Steve will always be like a brother to me, and we've continued to stay close. I wish him all the success in the singles division that we had in the tag team circuit. RS: Thanks again for your time, Chad. Folks, we now return you to the rest of CSWA PRIMETIME in Orlando. BB: What an interview from Chad Gibson, or should I say, Chad Dandy? SB: Why are we even doing an interview with him? He's not wrestling anymore... BB: That's like saying why do an interview with Muhammad Ali or Mario Lemieux....they all made their marks on their sports, just like the CS Express did on wrestling. SB: Mario who? BB: Fans, we'll be back. ---------------------------------------------------------- SB: Chad Dandy? What kind of freakin' name is that? No wonder he changed it. BB: Um, Sammy, we're back in the air. SB: I know, why do you think I saved it until then? BB: Fans, up next we've got our TOP CONTENDERS matchup. This could be the biggest match in the CSWA to date for either of these two men. Eliminator has obviously had success as a former Intracontinental Champion, but that doesn't compare the possibilities if he can pull off a victory here. The same is true for Shane Southern. Coming off his recent win of the UWA's United States Title, Southern could be looking at a matchup against CSWA World Champion GUNS if he can get by Eli. In fact, here comes the young man from New Orleans now, and this Orlando crowd seems to be going crazy over 'Ain't Goin' Down' by Garth Brooks. Southern is pumped! He's slapping high fives with the entire front row, and he's getting this crowd in the palm of his hand. SB: Eliminator doesn't seem too thrilled with it, though. BB: Well, ya can't please all the people all of the time. Shane Southern is in the ring, and referee Patrick Young is calling for the bell. Eli comes out of his corner swinging, and he catches Southern early with a hard right hand. Young warns Eli about the closed fist, but the Eliminator doesn't seem to care. I don't think we've ever seen this out of Eli before, Sammy! He's trying to put this one away early by hurting Southern. SB: Sometimes when ya feel like time is running out, ya get a little hyper. BB: Do you know something I don't? SB: Probably. BB: Eli knocks Southern down and he's all over Shane with a flurry of rights and lefts. Young begins his five-count, but Southern takes matters into his own hands!!! Somehow he pushes Eliminator over, and now the tables are turned. Southern is giving as good as he got, and now he pulls Eli up, and both men are on their feet. Southern sends Eli into the ropes, but the big man comes across with a clothesline that almost sends Southern for the 360! Elbow drop by Eli and the early cover, but he doesn't even get a one-count. The kick-out by Southern sends Eli sprawling, and the UWA US Champ is quickly on his feet. But the former Intracontinental Champ isn't down so quick, he rolls outside for a breather, taking some time to think things over. SB: He's making a big mistake right here. Southern may look like a clean-cut mama's boy, but if you let him get you on the outside... BB: Southern's lining things up, Sammy, I think you're right. But Eli's not keeping his eyes on his opponent... this really is unlike the Eliminator. Here comes Southern.....PLANCHA!!! He just caught Eli and both men hit into that metal barricade HARD! SB: Hey, you try having a long, lanky New Orleans boy come through the ropes at 55 mph. BB: Don't you think you're exaggerating a bit, Sammy? SB: Hey, so I don't have a radar gun, sue me. (Top Contenders match; Southern/Eliminator continues) BB: Both men are slow to get up, and surprisingly, it's the Eliminator who's up first. He pulls the struggling Southern to his feet and viciously slams his head into the metal barricade! The fans on the front row take cover, as Eli does it again, again, and again! I think Southern may be busted open! SB: He might be out on his feet! BB: Southern bleeding heavily from his nose, Eli may have broken it with those last headbutts into the so-called safety rail. Eli rolls Southern into the ring, and Patrick Young has to be thinking about stopping this match. SB: Why? A little bleeding's good for the heart. BB: And you learned medicine in what century? Eliminator has Southern up, and sends him down with a bench press slam. Eli follows up with a leg drop right to the FACE! He's really trying to put Southern away by injuring him! But now Eli changes his tack.....he's trying to hook in self-styled finisher the ELIMINATOR leglock! But Southern quickly grabs hold of the ropes. Eli and referee Young argue for a few moments, but Eli finally backs away. He follows back in, however, pulling Shane to his feet and sending the still-bleeding Southern into the ropes. Southern ducks a clothesline and comes across with a flying body press!!!! He takes Eli down, but rolls off, not going for the cover! He took the Eliminator down hard on that one, and now Southern is already to his feet. Hold on, he's measuring Eli. Eliminator is getting to his feet, and here it comes......SUPERKICK!!!! SOUTHERN NAILED HIM! SB: You could see the spit fly on that one, Buckley! BB: Southern hits the mat and hooks the leg! ONE.......... TWO...........THREE........SHANE SOUTHERN WINS IT!!! Before this match, both these men were tied as the number five contender to the CSWA World Title.....well, I think it's safe to say that with this one, Southern is making his name as one of the big players. Wow, what a comeback for Southern, who is having his hand raised by Patrick Young, with blood still streaming. Amazing. Fans, we're going to send you down to Stan Parsons, who is back in one of the locker room areas with MJ Dean. Stan? SP: Thanks Bill. Folks, I'm here with the young man who earned himself a title shot by going through nineteen other men in a recent battle royal at SHOCKWAVE. MJ, you've faced GUNS on plenty of previous occasions, and haven't had a lot of success. MJ: That may be true, Stan....but tonight's a little different. This is the big one, for the CSWA World Title. I've beaten GUNS before, and I can do it again. He's thrown me into the stands before too, I know that. But tonight, when I hook the Scorpion on him and start twisting on that knee full of metal and plastic, he's gonna think Hornet's back in town. If I can't make him quit, then I'm gonna put him out, Stan. SP: Well, there ya have it. A confident young man gets his shot later on tonight. Folks, we're going to go out to a brief commercial break, and then we'll be back with CSWA Co-Commissioner Chad Merritt. ---------------------------------------------------------- BB: Wrestling fans, we're back here at CSWA PRIMETIME in Orlando, Florida, where we just saw Shane Southern cement his place in the upper echelon of the rankings. Up next, fans, we've got another 'special announcement' by CSWA co-owner and co-commissioner Chad Merritt. SB: Another one? BB: Rudy Seitzer tried to get a comment on the subject that Merritt will be discussing, but the co-commissioner was a bit tight-lipped. SB: That's a first. I have a feeling that streak will end right here. BB: Mr. Merritt is making his way into the ring with a very mixed reaction from this crowd. And after recent 'announcements' from him, it's no surprise. This continuing feud between Merritt and Thomas certainly hasn't been good for the CSWA or the sport in general...it's got to come to an end sooner or later. Merritt: (from the ring) You're exactly right, Bill. (laughs) Didn't think I could hear you, did you? That's the joy of being the boss, you get all kinds of little gadgets (taps the earpiece in his ear). Ladies and gentlemen, I come before you one more time with some very special news. Beginning about a month ago, I got together with a new lawyer I had hired for an express purpose. For a very long time, the CSWA has been in decline. I've been very vocal about what...or in this case, who...I thought had caused that decline. I've accused my long-time partner, Mr. Thomas, of being more interested in making power plays and deals for himself rather than in the best interest of the CSWA and CS Enterprises. Well, I'm going to revoke those remarks. Because earlier this week, Mr. Thomas proved me wrong. BB: What's he talking about? Merritt: (pulls a sheaf of papers from his coat pocket) You see, folks, as of midnight last night, the CSWA is under new ownership. (crowd mumbles, gasps) No, no, I know what you're thinking. The original 'split' between Steve and I was done as a ploy....of course, only mentally challenged imbeciles like Joe Pedicino and my dear friend Doc Silver fell for it. No, this time it's real, folks. The CSWA has been bought out once and for all..........by me. BB and SB: WHAT!? Merritt: Mr. Thomas signed the final papers late last week, selling his total interest in the CSWA to me for a very large amount of money. My lawyer has made sure that it's all perfectly legal.....and ironclad. No loopholes, no renigs, no nothing. (Former CSWA Co-commissioner Stephen Thomas comes running in from the back) Merritt: No, no, Steve, there's no reason for you to come out and thank me. The fans and I know how dedicated you've been, and what a hard decision this must have been to make for you. Thomas: (yelling) You SOB! I didn't sell out to you! I signed a deal with...... Merritt: You really should have your legal team read things a little more carefully, Steve. The company you signed with and negotiated with, with a considerable profit for you I might add, is owned totally and SOLELY, by me. Merritt: And now, so is the CSWA. Thomas: (yelling) You bastard!!! (Thomas starts to run toward the ring, with murder in his eyes) Merritt: Security, I think Mr. Thomas needs to say his final farewells to these fans. (Thomas is grabbed by two big burly ex-wrestlers who begin dragging him toward the nearest exit) Merritt: I hope everyone will join me in thanking Mr. Thomas for his considerable contributions to the CSWA and wrestling. (golf claps for about three seconds) Okay, that's enough. Well, people, the times they are a-changin. I've got a few changes to make, a few wrongs to right, but right now, we've got two championship matches to watch. Thanks for your time. BB: CSWA Co-Commissioner Merritt, no excuse me, CSWA Commissioner Chad Merritt is stepping out of the ring. I don't know if those fans out there know exactly what they've just seen or not....but this may be the largest coup in wrestling history. Nine years ago, Chad Merritt and Stephen Thomas joined together financially and started backing the CSWA......and now, nine years later, Thomas has been ousted out of the picture. Fans, we'll try and have more on this later as we get more facts under our belts. I knew Merritt was going to make an announcement, Sammy, but I didn't think he was going to drop a bombshell. SB: Well, it's one of the few things he's famous for... but this one takes the cake. BB: Speaking of taking the cake, the match for the United States Heavyweight Championship is next, and I think that US Champ Julius Godreign certainly qualifies as one who takes the cake as well. He entered the CSWA World Tournament months ago as "Masked Man #3", who everyone thought was Hornet.....then revealed himself in a losing effort against GUNS. SB: I don't think those two are quite done yet, Buckley. GUNS may have won the rubber match between them, but their first two matches at the IRONMAN of CHAMPIONS left a bad taste in both their mouths. And that's not even going into the recent verbal battle between Godreign and Unified Champ Mike Randalls. Randalls still hasn't beaten Godreign...the challenge has been laid out on the table by both men, but so far, the Unified Championship Committee hasn't signed the match. BB: True, Sammy. But tonight, Godreign's got to turn his attention away from the likes of Randalls and GUNS and back toward his immediate opponent, Hellion. SB: This Hellion guy is insane, Buckley. I've been checking out some footage on this guy...he's been in thumbtack matches, plank elimination matches....what is he thinking? BB: Well, Sammy, it must work for him, because he's been a champion in places like the EFW and ASWF....and he's been the Tri-State Champion for quite a while now, defending against some top competition. SB: That may be true, but how do you expect to keep going like that without getting killed!? BB: I'm not gonna even attempt to get inside the minds of either Godreign OR Hellion in this one, Sammy. Folks, we'll be right back. ************************************************************ UNITED STATES HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP JULIUS GODREIGN vs. HELLION ************************************************************ BB: Both men are in the ring, and so is the CSWA official for this one, referee Ben Worthington, who quickly calls for the bell. I think Hellion is probably the fan favorite in this one, Sammy, although Godreign seems to be developing a following of his own with his cocky demeanor. SB: Way to overanalyze there, Buckley. Let's be realistic, the biker famous for the thumbtacks is gonna be more over than the arrogant SOB....how's that? BB: Just what we've come to expect from you, Sammy. Godreign approaches Hellion cautiously, but Hellion has no fear. Godreign ducks a shortarm clothesline attempt and catches Hellion with a quick belly-to-belly. The 219-pounder was able to get Hellion over, but with a lot of effort expended, and not a huge effect on the big man. Hellion is quick to his feet, and he levels Godreign with an uppercut to the jaw. SB: Godreign just folded like a cheap hooker. BB: Beautiful simile as usual, Sammy. SB: My pleasure. BB: Hellion nails Godreign with a huge elbow drop, and follows up by hooking in a reverse chinlock, sitting down on the back of the United States Champ. Wait a second. Marvin, pan the camera back through the crowd where you just were. SB: Is that who I think it is? BB: Fans, we've just had the last empty seat in the house filled.....by former Unified World Heavyweight Champion and Orlando resident JT TYLER! I know I was notified that Tyler would be in the audience tonight, Sammy? SB: Hey, they put one by me, Buckley. BB: I wonder if this is one of Merritt's 'changes', or if Tyler just decided to visit. This is his hometown after all. Fans, we're going to try and get Rudy or Stan down there to get a word with Tyler. Meanwhile inside the ring, Godreign is still struggling to get to the ropes, unsuccessfully. Hellion lets up on the chinlock, pulling Godreign to his feet. He sends him into the ropes and follows close behind with a clothesline that ROCKS Godreign and sends him over the top rope! What power by Hellion! Godreign hits hard outside, and Hellion quickly follows the US Champ outside. SB: He better be very careful. BB: I think he can taste the gold, Sammy. Godreign is slow to his feet, I don't even think he realizes that Hellion is standing back behind him! Hellion hooks in the full nelson and takes Godreign up and over with the full nelson slam!!! He just sent Godreign over like a ragdoll! But Godreign gets to his feet! DDT by Hellion!!!!! SB: This is getting ugly. What's that guy doing with a hockey mask on anyway? BB: The Tri-State Champion pulls Godreign up and whips him for the LONG ride all the way down to the far safety rail. Hellion's gonna have to think about getting back....hold on (US Title Match; Hellion/Godreign continues) BB: Hellion's already a step ahead of me, he rolls back inside the ring, breaking the count. And just as quickly, he rolls back outside....he's looking to finish Godreign here. Hellion is up on the apron, he's measuring Godreign, who is slowly getting to his feet in the corner that's usually reserved for the ring announcer, but Rhubarb got outta the way at the first sign of trouble. SB: Typical. BB: Hellion is measuring Godreign for the top rope bulldog that he calls "The Devil Dog." Godreign is finally up from his knee to his feet, and Hellion comes off the apron! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! GODREIGN JUST NAILED HELLION WITH THE RING BELL! Hellion came off the top to put Godreign away, but the US Champ had a trick up his sleeve, he caught Hellion right in the throat with that big plank of wood that the bell is attached to. That's gotta be a disqualification right there. SB: It's outside the ring, Buckley, Worthington can't do a thing. BB: However, he is up to eight in his ten-count. Julius Godreign stumbles to the ring apron and rolls himself in. Hellion is up on one knee, but there's no way he's gonna make it in. Referee Ben Worthington has called for the bell, and Julius Godreign will win this match and retain his title via count-out. Look at Godreign, he's acting like he just won the Super Bowl....for goodness' sakes, he barely got out of that one alive. SB: Hey Buckley, a win is a win. BB: Apparently so. Fans, we've just been told that Rudy Seitzer is down in the front section of the fans, let's head down there. Rudy? RS: Bill, I'm on my way down to Section D, Row A, where just before this match, former Unified Champion JT Tyler took a seat. We know that Mr. Tyler is a native of Orlando, but as far as a I can tell, no one knew he was here. I'm going to try and get a word with him. Excuse me, Mr. Tyler, I'm Rudy Seitzer, we'd like to know what brought you to the O-Rena and CSWA PRIMETIME? (dead silence, no answer, Tyler doesn't even turn toward Rudy) Mr. Tyler? Will you be returning to active competition? (silence) Mr. Tyler? JT? BB: Well, Rudy, they didn't call him the "Silent Champion" for nothing. Tyler apparently doesn't have anything to say to Rudy, folks, but we'll keep you updated as soon as we find out anything else. As many of you may remember, back in 1995, Tyler was the man who ended Mike Randalls' first reign as Unified World Champion. But while on his "Consummate Tour", Tyler was upset by Tsunami, who went on to lose the title in the second IRONMAN of CHAMPIONS. If he's back in professional wrestling.....wow. Um, Sammy, why is Commissioner Merritt leading what looks to be a group of police and FBI down this way? SB: Don't start that old trick again. Merritt: There he is, officers. FBI Agent: Samuel L. Benson, you are hereby charged with the murder of Lyle Tallman, aka the Red Midget. SB: WHAT!? But I didn't do it! There are witnesses! FBI: Unfortunately, we haven't been able to track down your 'mystery 300 pound woman.' You had the motive and no alibi. Mr. Benson, you're under arrest. You have the right to remain silent.... BB: As if... FBI: You have the right to an attorney, if you cannot..... ---------------------------------------------------------- BB: Fans, we're back from commercial....where you missed Sammy Benson being carted away kicking and screaming. He has apparently been arrested for the murder of the Red Midget. I can't quite believe what's happening....I mean, I knew Sammy hated Red, but I didn't think he'd actually... Anyway, fans, it looks like I'm working solo here for the MAIN EVENT that's coming up. Voice: Oh no you're not. BB: Fans, it looks like I'm being joined by CSWA Co-Commissioner Chad Merritt. CM: If you get that wrong again, you're fired. BB: Don't threaten me, Chad. My co-host was just arrested, that's enough turmoil for me for one night. CM: Hey, I'm just warning you, take it however you'd like. BB: Speaking of which, what are you doing guiding the police to make an arrest in the middle of a show!? CM: Hey, when the FBI calls, I listen. You think I wanna be known as the guy who let a murderer commentate? BB: So I guess you're stepping in? CM: Hey, always happy to fill in when I need to. As I always say, if you want something done right.... BB: ...then pay someone as little as possible to do it. CM: Or if that's not an option...then do it yourself. It's certainly cheaper. To our audience at home, up next we've got tonight's MAIN EVENT for the CSWA World Heavyweight Championship. BB: A title that you were against bringing back... CM: Let's move out of the past, Buckley. I certainly already have. BB: Sure. Let's go down to Rhubarb for the introductions. RJ: Ladies and gentlemen, the following match is one-fall with a sixty minute time limit for the CSWA World Heavyweight Championship. First, the challenger. Hailing from Chapel Hill, North Carolina, the home of the world-famous DeanDome, this young man gets his first title shot via a battle royal win at Saturday Night SHOCKWAVE. Standing at six feet five inches and two hundred sixty-nine pounds, here is MICHAEL JOSEPH DEAN!!!! BB: This young man is no stranger to GUNS, as we pointed out earlier. RJ: And now, his opponent. Standing at five feet eleven inches and three hundred sixty-five pounds, he hails from San Antonio, Texas. He is the former two-time Enterprise World Championa and the current CSWA WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION......here is the Strongest Arms in the World, GUNSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!! BB: GUNS is getting the traditional boofest from this Orlando crowd, even with his titanic recent struggles against Marcus Cameron for the fate of his family. Fans, when we return, it's GUNS/DEAN for the title, LIVE! CM: And so much more. BB: Fans, these two men have had a short, but storied, past. MJ Dean took issue with GUNS after the infamous GUNS/Hornet Career Match at FISH FUND XI. After getting a win sullied by interference over GUNS, Dean has had little luck against the big man since, at least not in regular matches. After that original win, GUNS took it to MJ Dean in his own hometown of Chapel Hill, beating him senseless and sending Dean into the third row. ------------------------------------------------------------ (cutto: CSWA PRIMETIME in Chapel Hill, MJ Dean vs. GUNS) BB: Dean just got tossed halfway across the ring by those massive arms on GUNS, but he's up. He comes across with a flying body press, and hits!!!! He's got the cover! ONE.............TWO..........NO!! Again, GUNS throws him off like a rag doll....but Dean is up again!!! And again, Dean comes across, this time with a crossbody!!! But GUNS catches him!!! GUNS has the big man in his arms, and he powers Dean down on that bionic knee for a modified backbreaker! GUNS hooks the leg! ONE..........TWO......... THREE!!! Ben Worthington counts to three, and GUNS has got the win as both these men head into the CSWA World Championship Tournament. ------------------------------------------------------------ BB: That match cost MJ Dean a spot in the CSWA World Championship Tournament, and allowed GUNS a first round bye....in a tournament that GUNS went on to win. But Dean would take his revenge, this time in New Orleans. Let's take you back. ------------------------------------------------------------ (cutto: CSWA PRIMETIME in New Orleans, Bonecrusher vs. GUNS) BILL BUCKLEY: GUNS is on the second rope, he could be setting up for a superplex or something. (crowd cheers) Wait a second, here comes...MJ DEAN! And he's got a metal rod with him!! GUNS doesn't see him, RED! OHHHH!! MJ just clocked GUNS with the metal rod!! MJ is all over GUNS, hitting him again and again! RED MIDGET: oh geez... BILL BUCKLEY: Finally, GUNS manages to roll out of the ring.. he's not sticking around to take anymore! Rudy Seizter is the ring, with MJ who has this sell out crowd on it's feet!! RUDY SEIZTER: MJ, What's this all about?! MJ DEAN: It's about GUNS...it's about how sick and tired I am of watching him do what he does week after week! GUNs, you may have ran HORNET out of the CSWA, but now you freak, I'm returning the favor! I'm gonna run you right out of here! ------------------------------------------------------------ BB: And tonight, Dean gets one last chance to do it, by taking the CSWA World Title off from around GUNS' waist. CM: That was a really good segment, did you put that together yourself? BB: Yeah. CM: Remind me to give you a raise. BB: Um, thanks. ------------------------------------------------------------ BB: Fans, referee Patrick Young and both competitors are in the ring, and we've got the bell to start things off. This one is for the big prize. GUNS and MJ lock up, with GUNS using the obvious strength advantage to send MJ Dean to the mat with a headlock, and following with a knee to the side. CM: Dean has *got* to stay away from those "Strongest Arms In The World" if he expects to have a chance. BB: What insightful commentary from my new co-host. CM: That was sarcasm, wasn't it? BB: You bet. CM: You know that raise? Forget it. BB: GUNS pulls Dean to his feet and sends him into the ropes. It's the GUNS-shot!!! The modified Polish hammer drops Dean like a ton of bricks, and GUNS scoops up the young gun and puts him DOWN hard with the sidewalk slam. GUNS with the early cover.......ONE........TWO.............. NO! MJ Dean kicks out! GUNS takes this one calmly, pulling Dean back to his feet....GUNS backs up and comes off the ropes and nails the wobbly Dean with a BULLDOG! GUNS rolls off Dean, choosing not to go for the cover. Instead, GUNS is going up TOP!!!! MJ Dean is down on one knee, but is slowly getting to his feet. CM: And that's just what GUNS wants right now. BB: Dean gets to his feet, and here comes GUNS. TOP ROPE SHOULDERBLOCK! He caught Dean full-on with that one, Dean hit the mat and literally did a full back roll from the force. GUNS pulls Dean into the center of the ring and hooks the leg. ONE.............TWO......................... NOOOOO!!!! MJ Dean kicks out somehow!!! CM: The kid's a fighter, ya gotta give him that. BB: GUNS looks a little frustrated, but he's still got things under control. CM: Amazing for a man whose wife and daughter have been stolen by another man. BB: I wouldn't say that too loudly. GUNS stands over Dean, and now he hooks in the SCORPION DEATHLOCK!!! That's Dean's own finisher!! Both these men were taught the Scorpion by Hornet himself! Dean quickly struggles to get to the ropes, but he's too far away. Young asks the youngster if he wants to give but Dean keeps struggling for the ropes, slowly moving inches closer to the ropes. He gets a fingertip around the bottom rope, and Young calls for the break from GUNS. CM: Young better be careful, GUNS is beginning to look less and less in control as this match progresses. BB: GUNS breaks the hold, and once again pulls Dean to his feet. He sends Dean into the turnbuckle with bone-crushing force. GUNS follows Dean in and sits MJ on the top turnbuckle. It looks like we're going to see the superplex. Forget the third row, Dean might just get driven THROUGH the mat with this one. GUNS climbs to the top and pulls Dean up to his feet on the ropes. MJ Dean is trying to block the move. He catches GUNS in the gut with a rabbit punch, loosening the hold. MJ breaks free..... TOP ROPE DROPKICK!!!!! MJ DEAN JUST BLOCKED THE SUPERPLEX, AND DROPKICKED GUNS OFF THE TOP! Dean comes off the top with a top rope jump-splash cover to win!!!!!!!!!!!! ONE.....................TWO................................. (MAIN EVENT, GUNS/Dean continues) BB: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! GUNS kicks out!!!!! He just threw MJ Dean halfway across the ring when breaking up that cover! GUNS is on his feet, he scoops up Dean onto his shoulder. POWERBOMB!!!!! One final cover from GUNS to end it. ONE..................TWO........................ NO!!!! Somehow, SOMEHOW, MJ Dean kicked out of the cover. And GUNS can't believe it. He's furious! CM: Game....set....match...GUNS. BB: GUNS grabs hold of Dean by the hair and pulls him to his feet. BIONIC KNEELIFT!!!!! GUNS NAILED IT, and THIS....ONE.......IS.......TWO.......THREE......OVER!!!!! The Strongest Arms In The World RETAINS his CSWA World Heavyweight Championship over a youngster with a lot of heart. But GUNS doesn't look like he's done. He restrained the anger long enough. (to Merritt) Aren't you going to do something? CM: You think I'm gonna step in there with a man that's got nothing to lose? Not a chance. Every man that steps in the ring with GUNS knows what could happen. BB: GUNS pulls MJ Dean up, bench presses him, and MJ Dean takes the longest flight in our sport....TO THE THIRD ROW!!! GUNS isn't just interested in beating this young man, he wants to hurt him. CM: He already has, Bill. GUNS has nothing to prove anymore against Dean. BB: Nevertheless. Wait a second, Dean is slowly, very slowly but just as surely, getting to his feet. And it looks like GUNS is going out to teach him a lesson. This crowd is going WILD!!!! Wait, they're not even looking at Dean or GUNS.....what is going on here? WHAT IS HE DOING HERE!!!!???? Marvin, get a shot!!!! (The camera begins panning throughout the crowd and finally focuses on the source of the commotion) BB: IT'S HORNET!!! HORNET IS IN THE BUILDING, AND HE'S COMING DOWN THROUGH THE CROWD, JUST LIKE HE LEFT AT FISH FUND XI! This crowd can't believe it, and neither can I! Merritt, what is going on here!? CM: (yelling over the crowd noise) Buckley, sometimes you've got to pay the piper.....but you've ALWAYS got to pay your lawyer. And the price for an ironclad secret leveraged legal buyout is a hefty one. BB: Fans, we're going to try to get a word! (He continues to talk but is drowned out by the crowd noise) We'll see you in San Antonio!!!
