SB: What’s this loser doing here? BB: Liezure is a promising young talent, and Kevin Powers and Nate Logan used him like a pawn in their scheme… Let’s hear what he has to say, Sammy... especially after what heard from Powers and Logan earlier. SB: If we must… (He takes off down the aisle way and slams the board to the ground and jumps onto it and rides his way to ringside. Lance stops abruptly and kicks the board back into his hand then rolls into the ring and grabs a mic.) Lance: Powers... (Lance drops the mic, places the sticks in his pocket, and waits for his response.) SB: Who does he think he is, my man Eddy Love? BB: Well… it looks like nobody is coming out… Lance: I see… I’d be scared to face somebody like a man, too, if all I were was a drunk has-been that weaseled his way out of retirement… We’ll meet, Powers… we will. (“Feel So Numb” cues as Liezure walks out to a surprisingly loud response.) BB: Liezure calls them out...but nobody's coming down. It looks like it's time for our next match. SB: EDDY! EDDY! BB: And my poor annoying co-commentator is right.... it's Eddy Love versus Joey Melton.
BB: Fans, we've got a match between two men who have both men at the top of our sport at various times over their careers. Joey Melton was the original CSWA World Champion in 1988, and has had continued success over his career as a multi-time World Champ, as well as a tag team specialist. Eddy Love became the CSWA World Champion ten years after Melton's first run. In fact, when Love joined the CSWA in 1998, he and Melton were both part of the CORPORATION, a stable run by the infamous Ray S. Cornette. SB: Oh, now you're calling Ray S. 'infamous?' BB: It's been so long, I almost forgot... you got your run as a manager alongside Cornette. SB: Indeed I did. BB: In fact, I think that's when your drinking problems began. SB: Indeed it was. BB: Yikes.
Anyway folks, this should be a big one. We’re
joined out here by another of Eddy Love's former partners, Kevin Powers… SB:
What’s up with the little jokes backstage, Kev? KP:
What’s up with your head being stuck in Love’s ass?
Man, I’ve got some Lance guy running me down because we cannonballed
his ass a few weeks back… he was a pawn in our game, Logan and I.
I’ll let him keep running his mouth for a bit longer, but he’d
better watch it or KP will have to make a note of him on his “to-do-list”
for the week. And now I’ve got
Sammy Benson, the same guy that’s wore tar and feathers on this show, asking
me for motives… BB: It’s going to be a
long match, folks… Collar and elbow tie-up between the two former World
Champions. Eddy Love goes behind with a hammerlock and into the side headlock,
Joey Melton sends him to the ropes. Eddy rebounds off and takes down Melton
with tough shoulderblock. Joey Melton delivers a stiff kick from his back to
Hurricane Eddy’s calf that drops the SB:
Eddy Love has no mercy, Buckley, he’s the greatest CSWA… KP:
Cork it, Benson. BB: Melton with a slap to
the face of Eddy Love! SB: He can’t do that! BB: Love staggers back
and Joey doubles him over with a knee to the stomach. Melton hooks the
head and nails Eddy with a suplex. Melton is to his feet and drops an elbow to
the heart of Eddy Love. Melton tries a quick cover but Love shoves him off
before even the first count, and now Love charges Melton. Joey counters with
an armdrag into a kneeling armbreaker. Love slaps the mat…this is not the
way he wanted to start things out! Love puts a boot to the face of Joey Melton
to break the hold. SB:
Don’t get frustrated, Eddy! KP:
No, JJ’ll give you a NICE massage after the show… BB:
Don’t say it, Sammy… KP:
He’s right, Benson… BB: Love sends Melton
into the turnbuckle then follows with a big clothesline in the corner. Melton
is on rubber legs and collapses in the center of the ring. Eddy Love measures
him and drops a knee across the chest of the SB: Whoo! BB: Not so fast! Joey
fires back with a chop of his own followed by a stiff forearm to the head of
the Eddy Love. Love is looking a little dazed…Melton off the ropes but Eddy
Love floors him with a dropkick! Joey Melton pops up and Love with another
dropkick! Melton is right back up but he walks into a bodyslam, Love
covers…1…2…Melton kicks out. SB:
He’s too dumb to stay down, most likely… KP:
That or he’s not in awe of the “mighty Hurricane”.
Not many are these days… BB: Love picks Melton up
by the hair and sets him up on the top turnbuckle…he could be going for a
superplex…NO! Joey Melton with a thumb to the eye and Eddy crashes backwards
to the mat. Melton takes a breather…Love is back on his feet but Joey Melton
sends him right back to the mat with a swinging neckbreaker, and he is
certainly back in control of the match. He picks up Love and shoves him into
the corner. Joey Melton with a big knife-edge chop. He slaps on a headlock and
drops Love face-first with a running bulldog. Melton goes for the
cover…1…2…Eddy kicks out in time. SB:
He’s playing possum, Buckley, playing possum. BB:
Do you really think so? SB:
You know me, Buckley… BB:
So you’re making it up to cover for the fact that Hurricane Eddy has
a match on his hands! SB:
It’s a good thing your kid’s brighter than you, Buckley… KP:
Putting him light years ahead of Benson, over here… BB: Melton peels Love off
the mat…big backdrop! No cover, Joey is looking to punish Eddy Love. He
picks him up again and executes another backdrop, what impact! Melton to the
second rope…guillotine leg drop! Melton covers…1…2…NO!
Eddy barely kicks out! Joey Melton is ready to put Eddy Love away! He hooks
the head and slams him to the mat with a vertical suplex…here’s the
count…1…2…Eddy kicks out again! Melton drags Eddy up while giving some
choice words to the official. Eddy with a low blow! SB: Low blow? That was
clearly at the lower abdominal area… KP:
Which is the place within Eddy Love’s body where Sammy Benson’s
head normally rests after he… BB: Melton’s got a kink
to his step, folks, as Eddy catches his breath…he’s up…DDT on Joey
Melton! Eddy with a cover…1…2…only two! SB:
Blind zebras, everywhere… BB:
Melton is holding his head, but Eddy Love is slow to his feet! SB:
There he goes, though, Buckley, I TOLD you he was playing possum!
A series of right hands to the head, WAY TO GO EDDY! BB: Love is coming on
strong! Eddy with a kick to the stomach of Joey Melton, he’s setting him up
for a piledriver…Melton pulls Eddy’s legs out from under him and tries to
roll him over into a Boston Crab. Eddy is fighting it, Melton can’t quite
get him over…Joey Melton with a stomp to the gut and he has the crab locked
on! Eddy Love is in trouble! SB:
That’s not trouble, Buckley, it’s just a small obstacle for… KP:
Give it a rest. BB: Melton is leaning
back on that hold, Eddy is fighting to get to the ropes. He’s just got a few
inches…Eddy’s got the bottom rope! The referee is calling for a break, but
Melton jerks Love away from the ropes and reapplies the Boston Crab! SB:
Break the hold! BB:
Love is still fighting to get out of that dangerous crab hold…he’s
bridging up…he reverses it! Eddy Love digs deep and flips Melton
over…here’s the cover…1…2…NO! Both men are on the mat struggling to
their feet. KP:
I’m about to take care of some business… SB:
You’re not going to… (Powers
stands up and starts taunting Love from in front of the announce booth, his
words aren’t particularly audible. Love
starts to make his way toward Powers as Melton still tries to regain his
composure) SB:
That no good, rotten, overrated, oversized… BB:
Why didn’t you say that while he was over here? SB:
I didn’t? BB:
What’s this? (Nate
Logan has at this point slid into the ring, heading toward Eddy Love, but
Melton sees Logan and instinctively swings, sending Logan to the ropes, then
following with a clothesline to send Logan to the outside.) SB: That’s what a Powers-goon should get! GXW reject! BB: Love rolls up Melton from behind! ONE! TWO! THREE!!! Eddy Love wins this one! Chalk up the accidental assist to Nate Logan and Kevin Powers! Joey Melton is furious, but he's also not dumb enough to get in between these three. He rolls outside and heads for the ramp. And now it looks like Powers and Logan are going to try and trap Eddy inside the ring. SB: Eddy'll kill both of 'em. BB: Logan says something to Powers. Wait a second...up on top of the ramp....that's CAMERON CRUISE! And he just walloped Melton in the head with a chair! Melton goes down, and Cruise levels him with a shot to the back. And it looks like Powers and Logan think that it's as good a time as any...they rush the ring! Love gets a knee into Logan's midsection, but Powers makes it inside...and the two men are eye-to-eye! Up on the ramp, security has come out to drop Cameron Cruise away before he can do any more damage to Melton. SB: Come on EDDY! BB: Love and Powers are jawing at each other...and here comes Logan! He drops Eddy with a big knee to the back, and now he's hammering away as Powers watches on. (HUGE crowd pop) BB: We've got somebody coming down the ramp...but I can't tell who it is yet. These fans know though... SB: Oh no....not HIM. BB: STEVE RADDER IS IN THE BUILDING! He slides under the bottom rope and tackles Nate Logan from behind. He pulls the young superstar up and throws him into Kevin Powers....and now Radder is jawing at Powers! There's still bad blood between these two men. SB: Two? Make that three! Eddy can stand the IceBoy either. BB: Logan wants to jump on Radder...but Powers is in his ear, and the two are carefully making their way out of the ring. But look at that... I don't know if Eddy appreciates Radder's efforts or not... he certainly doesn't look too thrilled. Radder offers his hand, and Love simply walks away and climbs out of the ring. It's hard to believe these three men were once partners. Wow...I don't think we've seen the last of this. Powers is determined to get to Love...and now it looks like former CSWA World Champion Steve Radder has decided he's not done with Powers! SB: Where's the stupid Canadian been? He lost to Aho six months ago, and he's just now ready to show his face. BB: Who knows, Sammy. Hopefully we can get an interview with Steve on an upcoming show. And maybe we'll even figure out why Cruise decided to go psycho on Joey Melton. SB: Because Melton BEAT him...that's why. Plus the fact that Cruise is a few sandwiches short of a picnic basket. BB: You might be right....fans, we'll be right back with Eli Flair versus GUNS!
