CSWA

FISH FUND TRIVIA
While FISH FUND may be infamous for some of the more inane events in CSWA history, it also has its share of huge ones.

FF10 is a perfect example.  It's widely remembered for El Nino attacking the Mighty Morphin Midgets, severely injuring the Red Midget.

But it's also remembered for the second IRONMAN of CHAMPIONS, which saw a true "Ironman" run the gamut and win the title, thanks to the match that truly heated up the historic Hornet/GUNS feud.

BB:  It’s another “reunion” of sorts for the boys, with Eddy Love and Steve Radder being partners - showing you don’t have to love a guy to reach out for a tag - to take on Kevin Powers...

SB:  And that nothing guy... what’s his name?  Zilch?

BB:  Some call him Zero, his name is Nate Logan, a GXW guy and you’ve got to wonder what the affiliation is with him and Powers to the GXW, but that’s not what’s at issue here... it’s about a rivalry that goes on and on... the old PLR crew is going at it in tag team elimination format, which means if you get pinned, you’re leaving your partner with the other two guys.

SB:  Let the Sno Cone man get pinned, and Eddy can take care of the rest...

Tag Team Elimination Match 
Ordered by the Commissioner

Kevin Powers and Nate Logan
vs.
Eddy Love and Steve Radder

(CUE UP:  “Let’s Go All The Way” by ICP - huge response, more heel than face, as Kevin Powers and Nate Logan make their way out to the ring.)

SB:  Nada?  Was that it?

BB:  Oh boy, Sammy and his nicknames... Powers is playing to the crowd and they seem to love it, he’s got that big man vibe... but his opponents this evening are well “over” with the audience.

SB:  You bet Eddy is!   Who's the guy he's been stuck with.

(CUE UP:  “Bulls on Parade” by Rage Against The Machine - the crowd gets to its feet as new pyro goes off for “The Iceman”, who looks to be at the top of his game.)

BB:  The crowd is on it’s feet for the former Heavyweight champion as "Iceman" Steve Radder makes his way toward the ring, being careful not to move in until he gets backup... although Powers and Logan certainly are daring him to do otherwise...

SB:  It doesn’t matter.  The Legend Killa’ can take all three if need be!

BB:  Well, he may have to take on two if Steve Radder is the first man eliminated from this competition, again this is an elimination match.

SB:  Bill... you always have “sources”, right?

BB:  Of course, Sammy... what are you asking about?

SB:  Who’s this idiot stalking the greatest wrestler alive, Eddy Love?

BB:  No one’s talking, Sammy... your guess is as good as mine.  It could be any one of THESE fans, who are looking toward the ramp waiting for Eddy himself!   As far as we know...it could be YOU!

(CUE UP:  “Whole Lotta Love” by Led Zeppelin - tremendous crowd reaction as Eddy makes his way down toward the ring, and as he gets side-by-side with his partner for the evening, both men slide into the ring and begin to fight with their opponents.)

BB:  This one is underway, Referee Manny Juarez is the official for the bout and Steve Radder is going right for the head of Kevin Powers, both men swinging shots at each other, and we’ve seen these two put on classics before, most notably during the Ironman of Champions where Steve Radder became a champion, and we know that Kevin Powers is a lot bigger than Steve Radder, but that might not be a factor.  Radder seems to be getting the upper hand, a knife edged chop and now a shot to the far side...

SB:  At least he’s holding his weight up... for now.

BB:  And in the other corner of the ring, Eddy Love is pounding away at the side of Nate Logan’s head, but Logan is holding his own.  It’s a slugfest, as simple as that...

SB:  But never fear, Eddy has been slugging it out since before that Zip was even a thought!

BB:  That’s one way to look at it folks, and back on our side of the ring, Kevin Powers is choking Steve Radder with his boot, and the ref is trying his best to regain some order.

SB:  Regain?  He never HAD any!

BB:  And he still doesn’t!  Powers is now bouncing Radder’s head off the turnbuckle!  But Radder with a set of elbows, fighting his way out, and now Powers is in the corner, and Radder with a standing dropkick!  “Good God” is reeling, and over on the far side, Logan shoots Love toward Radder, but Radder side steps and Love crashes into Powers!  But Nate seizes the moment, drop DDT on Steve Radder!  DDT on Radder and Logan goes for a quick pin, but Juarez won’t count!  He’s saying there needs to be legal men, and he’s getting Love back into a corner... Powers steps out and it looks like Nate Logan and Steve Radder are going to officially start this one off, Logan with an Irish whip and a back body drop, but he telegraphed it and Radder with a boot to the chest... and now a forearm, and an inside package!  Only gets a one, but there he is with an arm drag, and he goes for an armbar but Logan kips up, he switches it off and now Logan in the driver’s seat with a wristlock, Radder springs over and rolls out, goes for a double leg takedown, but Logan comes through with a choke - NO - Radder on top and Juarez goes down, doesn’t get a count... Logan kicks out just too fast...

SB:  What a series of moves... now would someone let Eddy in?

BB:  Radder’s caught in the moment, Sammy, he just sent Logan to the side, and he comes out with a monkey flip, but Logan lands on his feet and makes a tag to Kevin Powers!  Powers and Radder are face to face in the ring, and Kevin just piefaced Steve!  Kevin Powers just piefaced the Iceman, and STEVE RADDER JUST SLAPPED KEVIN POWERS, AND NOW BOTH MEN FIRE A SHOT, BOTH MEN STUMBLE BACKWARD! 

SB:  "Good God" just got the TASTE slapped out of his mouth! 

BB:  Kevin Powers shoots a few right hands to the stomach of the Iceman, but Radder hits the ropes and comes off with a clothesline, Powers ducks and HITS A BOOT TO THE FACE, STEVE RADDER JUST HIT THE MAT! 

SB:  Powers is looking at the crowd with that look in his eye, Buckley, this very well might be a Kiss the Canvas early on... come on Iceman!  Tote your load!

BB:  He’s setting it up, you’re right Sammy, I can’t believe Kevin Powers is going for this so early in the bout, both other men in this match are on the edge of the ropes, waiting to see what happens...

SB:  I’ll tell you what BETTER happen, Steve Radder better...

BB:  He has Radder up in the air once again, but Radder hops off!  He spins Powers around and hits a European uppercut, but Powers just THROWS him off and into the ropes, scoops him up for the ride and PLANTS him in the center of the ring with a scoop slam.  He has a leg hooked and Worthington makes the cover… only a one, but what an impressive bodyslam that way, Steve Radder has to be in pain, and Kevin Powers is clearly in the driver’s seat now... he runs over and tags Eddy Love with a right hand!  Love trying to get in the ring, Juarez is holding him back... and Logan in with the double team!

SB:  Come on, Manny, I’ll have Merritt cut your Visa in half!

BB:  What did PR say?  NO MORE MEXICAN JOKES!

SB:  Um, Buckley, did you see the whole Melton fiasco earlier?  Give it up.

BB:  (groans)  Logan is laying the shots in, but Juarez turns around... there was no tag, but Logan is the one staying in, while Powers sits this part of the bout out... Logan with a chokehold, and Juarez is making him let go, but we all know he’s got until the count of five to let the move go... and he’s exhausting that five seconds, isn’t he?

SB:  Wait til Eddy gets in, Nothingman. 

BB:  Nate tosses Radder to the outside, and he looks as if he’s making his way out there to follow, Eddy is trying to follow, too, but once again Juarez is stopping him, and Eddy’s desire to get involved is costing Radder a double team, both Kevin Powers and Nate Logan are lacing the boots to the side of Steve Radder’s head on the outside of the ring, what an athlete Radder is, but no man can take these two...

SB:  Wait a minute!  Who the Hell is...

BB:  LANCE LIEZURE HITS RINGSIDE WITH A STEEL CHAIR, HE’S BEEN GUNNING FOR THESE TWO MEN, AND JUAREZ IS DISTRACTED!  LIEZURE PLANTS THAT CHAIR OVER LOGAN ’S HEAD, NATE LOGAN IS ON THE GROUND AND HE HAS TO BE BUSTED WIDE OPEN!  AND POWERS GOES FOR A BOOT, BUT LIEZURE WITH A SHOT TO HIM, TOO! 

SB:  I hate that little kid... but way to stick up for Eddy, snot!

BB:  Liezure walks away, as Juarez begins a count to the outside, and Powers is off to the side, but for right now, Steve Radder and Nate Logan have ten seconds to get back in the ring... Radder is up now, but Logan ... we’re on four here, folks... five... KEVIN POWERS BREAKS THE COUNT, TAGGING STEVE RADDER IN THE FACE, AND LOVE COMES BACK IN,  LOVE AND RADDER ARE TAKING TURNS WAILING ON KEVIN POWERS, and Logan is still down outside...

SB:  And Larry Liezure is coming back! 

BB:  LANCE Liezure pulls out a set of ... drum sticks?  HE BREAKS THEM BOTH RIGHT OVER LOGAN ’S HEAD, AND NOW A BOOT TO THE GUT, AND A ROCKER DROPPER!  THAT ONE’S CALLED THE LIEZURE SUITE, AND NOW JUAREZ IS FINALLY FREE, AND HE STILL HASN’T SEEN LIEZURE...

SB:  He’s starting the count where he left off!  I can’t believe it, but way to go Manny!

BB:  I thought you wanted his Visa revoked!

SB:  Not if he’s fair! 

BB:  NATE LOGAN HAS BEEN ELIMINATED FROM THIS BOUT, AND KEVIN POWERS CHARGES THE OPPOSITE SIDE!  Kevin Powers gets a good shot in on Eddy Love, and Powers is taking it to “Hurricane” Eddy!  Eddy Love is being taken back by Kevin Powers, but Steve Radder makes a save, and the two fan favorites have the clear advantage.  Manny Juarez is trying to make Radder get back on the apron, and that he’s doing, but Eddy Love has the upperhand now, it’s as simple as that. 

SB:  Of course he does!  He’s Eddy Love!

BB:  For whatever reason though, he’s tagging to his partner Steve Radder, and The Iceman is going right after Powers, there’s a dropkick from the former champion, and now a short armed clothesline and the big man goes down, Radder into the ropes and comes off with a splash, gets a cover... one... two, gets a two count and now with another tenacious cover, gets one, and he’s forcing Powers to use his energy... Steve Radder is as good as they come in this industry, and I don’t see any way Kevin Powers will have a chance here - which is seemingly what these fans want. 

SB:  Of course, Buckley... Who would root AGAINST “Hurricane” Eddy?

BB:  Well, there’s Eli Flair, Mike Plett, maybe even Evan ...

SB:  SHUT UP!

BB:  Back to this match, here we go with an armbar...

SB:  Wait a minute... look up at the top of the ramp, Lance Liezure is still pounding away on Nadda! 

BB:  Lance Liezure is in fact POUNDING away on Nate Logan!  This young upstart has a lot of fire in his eyes, and have you seen the guy he’s been traveling with?

SB:  That sounds a bit... alternative... for me...

BB:  NO, Sammy, Liezure seems to be grooming one of his fellow musicians for a wrestling lineup, and he looks like he’d have all the tools to succeed, but the story here is that Liezure has bloodied and beaten Nate Logan like an animal here and... WHAT THE HELL IS... LANCE LIEZURE JUST GOT WAFFLED WITH A CHAIR, WHO IS THAT?

SB:  He’s dressed... he’s dressed like EDDY!  Old school Eddy Love tights, an EL and everything, what the Hell could this mean?

BB:  It could be the man who has stalked Eddy Love time and again, Sammy!  And look in the ring, Eddy sees it!  He turns around BUT IT’S TOO LATE, GIANT BOOT FROM KEVIN POWERS TO THE FACE OF EDDY LOVE!  He’s taking advantage of the situation...

SB:  NO!  That’s not fair!

BB:  But Steve Radder breaks the count!  Steve Radder has been on fire during this bout, and he goes right into clubbing Kevin Powers with shots, these two have went at it in classics before, and they’re certainly continuing that tradition here...

SB:  Get up Eddy! 

BB:  Speaking of Love... up at the top of the ramp, that man’s helping Nate Logan up, and both men are pounding on Lance Liezure, he TOO has been busted open, and I wonder where Liezure’s friend is right now? 

SB:  Not where Lance NEEDS him to be, Zip and that Eddy-obsessed fruitcake are doing a number on that skater kid... and it looks like they’re coming back to the ring! 

BB:  In a full sprint, nonetheless...

SB:  And Powers just clocked Eddy!  How did that happen?

BB:  I missed what happened, but Kevin Powers has Eddy Love up for the... KISS THE CANVAS ON EDDY LOVE, KISS THE CANVAS!  Eddy Love is down, and that Eddy clone has a hold of Radder on the outside, Eddy... one... two... three! Kevin Powers has pinned Eddy Love, and on the outside here, Steve Radder is fighting off two men, he’s on the apron swatting away this Love doppleganger...

SB:  EDDY GOT PINNED?!

BB:  POWERS BLINDSIDES RADDER, THIS ISN’T FAIR!  The game of numbers is too much for even an athlete like Radder... Logan has the referee distracted, and he’s taken a beating tonight, too, hasn’t he?

SB:  Damn right that Zilch has!  And he’s cheating right now!  That Love clone is outside the ring... MAULING Eddy!  The Legend Killer!  Does he know what he’s doing?

BB:  Powers with a pair of brass knucks, where the hell did he get those?  RADDER IS OUT COLD, HE’S GOT TO BE RIGHT THERE... this one was over before it started, Love and Radder were outnumbered... one...... two...... NO!  STEVE RADDER KICKED OUT OF THAT PINFALL SECONDS AFTER THAT SHOT!  HOWEVER HE DID THAT, I’LL NEVER KNOW...

SB:  Powers is yelling at the ref... get your hands off my friend Manny!

BB:  And look at Nate Logan... CHAIR SHOT TO THE BACK OF STEVE RADDER’S HEAD, RADDER WAS BACK UP BUT HE GOT LEVELED AGAIN, AND THIS ... whoever he is... Eddy’s stalker, presumably... is all over Love!  He got a cheap shot in from the start, and now he’s just... taunting a bloodied Eddy Love!  The carnage these three are leaving... Lance Liezure is coming to up at the top of the rampand there’s his ... whoever he is, helping out of here... it’s not worth interfering in the business here at ringside, or at least that’s his opinion...

SB:  It’s not worth it to help out EDDY?

BB:  Powers goes for the pin one more time... one...... two...... three!  Kevin Powers is the sole winner in this one, but not without a lot of help!

SB:  He SCREWED Eddy!

BB:  And now Eddy’s getting rolled back in the ring, side by side with Steve Radder... Kevin Powers and Nate Logan are holding Eddy up now, the fans are booing their minds out... who is this?  Who is this Eddy clone?  This stalker? 

SB:  NO!

BB:  WHOEVER HE IS, HE JUST TOOK LOVE DOWN WITH A SUPERKICK!  It’s starting to look like Powers and Logan know who this stalker is... there’s helping Radder up, and THAT MAN JUST SUPERKICKED HIM, TOO, RADDER AND LOVE ARE DOWN!

SB:  NO!

BB:  And now... whoever he is, he’s got Love on his shoulders, this can’t be pretty... this man isn’t a large man by any means, but he’s obviously strong as an ox... AN INVERTED DEATH VALLEY DRIVER, I’m starting to see who this is, Sammy!

SB:  WHO?

BB:  POWERS AND LOGAN ARE TELLING HIM TO PULL OF THE MASK!  THIS CROWD IS ON THE EDGE OF IT’S COLLECTIVE SEAT! 

SB and BB:  ROB SAMPSON! 

SB:  What the HELL is he doing on our show?

BB:  “MR. MAIN EVENT” is here, he’s the one that’s been stalking Eddy!  I can’t believe this, and when Eddy and Radder come to, neither will they!  Powers is grabbing a mic right off the bat!

SB:  Surprise, damnit.  These three men WILL pay!

BB:  This capacity crowd is jeering these three men... let’s hear what Powers has to say...

KP: You see? They never saw it coming! I told EVERYONE to set their VCR's for this one, ‘cause I was gonna make it special. Before the entire WORLD I have written the closing chapter of the OLD PLR ... and created a NEW chapter for the NEW PLR ... Powers ... Logan ... and of course Rob Sampson!  Like I've been saying all along boys ... out with the OLD ... and in with the NEW!  P... L... R, baby.  Oh, and as for you GUNS ... I will see you soon, but it'll be on MY terms ... ya little midget!

BB:  I can’t believe what we’ve just seen... PLR, a new lineup for PLR, and they’re back in business!

SB:  Rob Sampson’s last name doesn’t start with an R!  AND WHAT THE HELL IS PLR, WITHOUT EDDY?  I can’t believe this!  It’s a sacrilege!  Kevin Powers and Nate Logan, and that sick... that sick...

BB:  Marvin, get your finger on that button...

SB:  That sick... sick... SICK... sad little man, these three are DESECRATING PLR!  Who the Hell do they think they are?

BB:  Calm down, Sammy... I’m sure Eddy and Steve Radder will have their revenge one day, and that day will come very, very soon.    Fans, the final tag team match of the night is up next for the Unified Tag Team Titles.  Hold on...time to cut to the back one more time... it looks like The Professionals may have made their first HUGE mistake tonight!

SB:  What?

(CUTTO:  One of the production areas in the back.  GUNS is demanding that he be shown some video tape.)

BB:  It looks like GUNS has heard about the little discussion between The Pros that went on after he left.

(The monitor begins showing footage from earlier...)

MAYFIELD (holding arms out in a Hanz & Franz like pose, and talking in an extremely deep voice): Third Row, Inc. is about to open for business! And we're gonna PUMP (claps hands together!) YOU UP!

MILES (continuing with the Hanz & Franz schtick): I'm going to tear this GIRLY MAN company down BRICK...by BRICK...with my MASSIVE arms and my BORING mic spots!

(The footage continues as the camera show GUNS...and he doesn't look happy.  As the clip comes to a close, he chuckles, than slams one massive fist into his other hand.)

BB:  That can't be good for Miles and Mayfield!  And they're up next!

SB:  At least they're inside a steel cage!

BB:  Yeah, but Sammy, the whole point is, to win, they have to get OUT!  And guess who might be waiting for them!

SB:  (shudders) Super RoidBoy.
