BB: This is a match I can
honestly say is a dream match anywhere in the world, but more than any, in the
CSWA. Mark Windham and Eli Flair have historically been two of the staunchest
mainstays in the CSWA, and yet, they’ve never faced off in ANY form of match
until now. These fans are giving Mark Windham an ovation that can definitely
translate into ‘Stick around this time!’ SB: Mainstay? The Living
Psycho? BB: Historically, Sammy. Up
until the CSWA’s tenth anniversary he would have been on every card we had
booked, and while he has only wrestled sporadically since, the matches he DID
take on convinced me that he hasn’t lost a step. SB: Any friend of the Worm is
no friend of mine. And a friend of a friend of the Worm is even worse. BB: So you’re backing Flair
in this match? SB: Both these guys need a good
hard smack upside the head. (CUE UP: “Phucking Phreak”
– Velvet Acid Christ) BB: I’d have to say, Sammy,
there’s just as many cheers for Eli Flair as there were for Windham! Both of
these men have become such huge heroes for the CSWA fans, despite the presence
of a more ‘politically correct’ hero, if you will, at the forefront. SB: BOOOO! BB: Just as many jeers for
Flair as Windham, too. SB: No, I get what you’re
saying, Buckley. Windham was in Hornet’s shadow for years. Flair was in the
Mute Freak’s shadow for quite awhile, too. Windham won the Unified World Title
and has never gotten a victory over Hornet, while Flair won the CSWA World
Heavyweight Title and his only victory over Deacon came directly from
interference from Jesse Solomon. BB: You’ve done your
research. SB: Of course, the Mute Freak
is long gone and Hornet is a bitter old man in search of an intern, so it all
evens out in the end. BB: Never mind. Flair is alone
for the first time in his career, splitting with Poison Ivy following
ANNIVERSARY. However, Sunshine isn’t known for interfering in matches, so I
think this will be a fair contest. SB: Until Eddy comes out and
beats both of ‘em. BB: Eddy’s not supposed to be
here for this match. SB: Eddy doesn’t need YOUR
permission. BB: There’s the bell and
these two men lock up! Flair shoves Windham back hard, and the former Unified
Champion hits the mat, rolling through! Flair stands over him and gestures with
his hands to ‘come on and try again.’ He’s certainly confident of his
skills. SB: Wouldn’t you be? I
don’t particularly like Captain Schitzo, but he’s defeated, one way or
another, virtually every CSWA superstar that’s crossed his path. He’s a
dangerous man. BB: Flair lets Windham get back
to his feet in a hollow gesture of respect – I think he’s simply mocking the
Living Legend. SB: Living Legend… he’s no
LEGEND KILLER, however. BB: They lock up again, and
Flair grabs Windham around the neck and tosses him across the ring! That’ll
rattle his cage! Windham’s going to have to think of a new strategy, and fast! SB: Running away might work. BB: That’ll never happen.
Windham is up on his feet and he’s circling, and he’s… asking Flair for a
test of strength? SB: The actions of a desperate
man. BB: I have to question
Windham’s tactics here – looking at Eli Flair, even just the scars and
tattoos, this isn’t a man who’s afraid of pain. SB: Crazy people don’t feel
pain. BB: Who are you referring to? SB: Take your pick. BB: They lock up, and not
surprisingly, Flair forces Windham to his knees immediately. Windham has a lot
of heart left in his career, but he was biting off a bit more than he could chew
with Flair—Windham rolled through, and he reversed the pressure! Flair’s
hands are twisted around, and both men struggle to the ropes! SB: So he HAD a plan. I’m
shocked. BB: Flair and Windham separate,
and they’re both holding onto their hands, untwisting their fingers. That was
quite an ingenious plan on Windham’s part. Flair runs at Windham, but he
sidesteps! Drop toe hold, and Windham hooks on a one legged Boston Crab! Flair
rolls through and boots Windy in the back, and we’re right back where we
started! SB: Eddy’d have this match
won already. BB: Against who? SB: Both of ‘em. BB: They lock up, and Windham
grabs a handful of hair and backs Flair into the ropes! He whips him across the
ring – NO – Flair reversed the whip, and sends Windham across the ring!
Flair with a clothesline – Windham ducked it –
FLYING CROSSBODY! He hooks the leg! ONE! TWO! Kickout, you won’t get
Flair that easily! SB: He’s too dumb to fall for
it. BB: That made no sense. SB: See? BB: Windham with an armlock,
and he shoves Flair into the turnbuckle! Front dropkick! The Living Legend
hasn’t been this sharp in a long time! Flair hits the turnbuckle again, chest
first, and staggers back a step. Windham hooks him from behind, DRAGON SUPLEX!
ONE! TWO! THR—KICKOUT! SB: Isn’t it over yet? BB: Not yet, Sammy! Flair
blocks a fist and fires back one of his own! Windham stumbles back a step, and
Flair takes him down with a single leg takedown! Single- leg Boston Crab on
Windham this time, but Mark hooks the ropes almost immediately! Flair backs off
as Windham climbs to his feet! SB: Where’s the Southern
Dandy to make life interesting? BB: Windham with an elbow –
NO! Flair blocked it and hooked the Living Legend by the throat! CHOKESLAM! NO!
Windham with a rake of the face! Flair dropped him, and Windham… HOOKS ON THE
IRON CLAW! SB: The Claw! I haven’t seen
this move in YEARS! He’s got Flair by the skull, and he’s forced him to his
knees! BB: This hold was the bane of
the CSWA for years, Sammy, and I think Flair is fading fast! SB: There’s nothing to do but
tap to this, I think. He’s really got that locked on. I’m actually
impressed. BB: Troutman is there to record
a submission, but I don’t think it’ll happen! He’ll sooner stop this match
when Flair passes out from the pain! SB: That’s a submission, no? BB: It counts… but it’s not
the same as saying the—FLAIR WITH A LOW BLOW! FLAIR CAUGHT WINDHAM WITH A LOW
BLOW! The Claw is broken! Flair to his feet, and he drops Windham with a quick
DDT! But he can’t follow up! Flair to the outside, and he’s holding his head
in his hands! The Claw might’ve done its job after all, Sammy! SB: With good reason, Buckley! BB: Eli climbs back up onto the
apron, and he’s there to pull Windham back to his feet! He sends the veteran
into the ropes – reversal! THESZ PRESS! NO! Flair caught him in midair!
POWERFUL SLAM to the canvas! He pulls Windham back up…. he’s got him set for
a powerbomb! SB: No he doesn’t – every
time someone goes for a powerbomb THAT close to the ropes he gets tossed outside
with a backdrop. BB: POWERBOMB! FLAIR DROPPED
WINDHAM TO THE FLOOR! MARK WINDHAM IS NOT MOVING! Pee Wee Troutman practically
jumps to the outside to check on him! I think he’s hurt, Sammy! SB: Ya think? BB: Windham is moving…
SLOWLY… that’s a good sign. Flair to the floor, he grabs Windham and shoves
him back into the ring. The cover, ONE…. TWO…. Windham gets a foot on the
bottom rope! I’m amazed he had the presence of mind to do that!
Flair pulls him to his feet, and he’s got him hooked for the Fallen
One! SB: Goodnight, Gracie! BB: NO! Windham’s legs just
gave out from underneath him! He twisted out of Flair’s grip as he hit the
mat! Flair looks confused, but he drops down to make the cover—NO! Flair
dropped to his knees and Windham grabbed his hair and rolled him up! ONE! TWO!
THREE! SB: Holy—! BB: WINDHAM JUST PINNED FLAIR! That’s gotta be the upset of the year, to date! Here you can see the replay, where Windham pulled Flair down by the hair and rolled his shoulders up! He’s still lying practically motionless on the mat, and Flair is standing up in the corner, in shocked disbelief! SB: I'M in shocked disbelief! BB: Mark Windham won the Four Corners match in San Diego, and now he's defeated Flair! SB: They've both been ugly wins. BB: Ugly or not, he's gotten the job done. I think it's safe to say that Mark Windham is officially back in the hunt! SB: The hunt for WHAT? BB: I think that's the
question. Fans, it's time for us to sign off here. Don't forget to
check out ON TIME in Portland with Billy Buckley and Rudy Seitzer. Sammy
and I will see you LIVE in Seattle for CSWA PRIMETIME! |
