the camera panning around the arena catching glimpses of various CSWA related
signs from its eager fans before parking on Rudy Seitzer and Billy Buckley.)
RS:
Welcome to CSWA ON TIME… we’ve got THREE hours of explosive action
tonight, and this might as well be a P-P-V…
ByB:
I’m your host, Billy Buckley… this quack is Rudy Seitzer… we’re
starting this off with a match that could HEADLINE any pay-per-view… and it is
CERTAINLY a Pay-Per-View atmosphere here tonight, the CSWA delivers like no
other, and our last three PPV’s in a row have showed that… and that feeling
is around this card, what a show is lined up for our final card of this
television season…
(CUE UP:
“Hero” by Chad Kroeger and Josie Scott – massive roar as the crowd
begins to anticipate Hornet versus Deacon.)
RS:
The CSWA’s grandest stars have come out tonight, without a doubt…
ByB:
Buggy takes on the Mute Freak… this is insane!
(The lights go out,
and the crowd pops HUGE. You can
almost hear the Gregorian Chant building underneath the crowd’s response.
Thunder strikes while simultaneously on CSWAvision:
“FAITH”
(Complete darkness
again, with only the crowd and the Gregorian chant being heard.)
LIGHTNING HITS THE
RAMP
“IS” on the
CSWAvision
DARKNESS AGAIN
(The crowd reaches a
frenzied level.)
LIGHTNING HITS THE
RAMP
“FAITH IS?” on the
CSWAvision
DARKNESS AGAIN
(Everything goes
silent. No Chant.
No sound outside of the crowd. After
30 seconds of darkness, the confused crowd begins to become more silent, with
only a few loud screams.)
(Over the loudspeaker,
Deacon’s voice can be heard.)
DEACON:
I have your evidence…
(The crowd goes
ballistic)
DEACON:
Right here!
(Spotlights from all
around the stadium hit the ring where Deacon is standing in the middle of it,
wearing the same outfit he wore at Fish Fund.)
RS:
Deacon does it again. This
crowd is ALREADY worked into a frenzy. He
is certainly a part of the CSWA that we’ve missed.
Deacon and Hornet are standing in the center of the ring facing one
another. The bell has rung, and
neither man moves.
ByB:
I can see Deacon’s heart beating out of his chest from out here.
He’s obviously nervous about this encounter.
His first REAL match back, and he steps in there with Bugbrain… even if
we don’t like the guy, he’s a franchise player…
RS:
Well, if he’s lost a step, this should show it.
ByB:
Hornet and Deacon move forward. Hornet
is outsized in this matchup, but he’s trying to stand toe to toe with the big
man. HORNET’S RIGHT HAND!
RS:
Not what you had in mind?
ByB:
Hardly. Hornet is offering to
shake hands. The crowd is behind
this decision.
RS:
Maybe, but Deacon isn’t asking their opinion.
His eyes are fixed on Hornet.
(Deacon slowly shakes
his head ‘no’.)
RS:
And Hornet has his answer.
(They continue to lock
eyes for a few more seconds and then Hornet shrugs his shoulders and says
something to Deacon that you can hear picked up by the camera.)
HORNET:
Your choice, big man.
(Deacon stands in the
middle of the ring while Hornet bounces into the ropes a few times in warm up
and then…)
RS:
Hornet with a drop down, grabbing for Deacon’s leg.
Deacon out of there. Hornet
back up with a smile on his face.
ByB:
And he’s continuing to talk to Deacon.
You think he’s trying to distract the big man?
RS:
If he is, Deacon’s not returning the favor.
The Silent Giant appears to be back in full performance tonight.
ByB:
He wasn’t exactly ‘silent’ with Mark Windham’s comments the other
day.
RS:
That’s true, but now isn’t the time to talk.
ByB:
They tie up. At one time,
Deacon would’ve won any basic power tie up in this contest, but though he’s
impressive, he’s not the man he was when he left.
RS:
Say what you will, but he just shoved Hornet to the mat.
ByB:
I don’t mean he’s not impressive, I simply mean that he doesn’t
have the size that he once did. And
even if he DOES talk a lot… he’s still a Mute Freak.
RS:
But, as he would say, he has faith. Hornet
is up and smiling. A QUICK LOCK UP
and HORNET forces Deacon into the corner. Hornet
surprised Deacon with that one.
ByB:
Unless, as I’m saying, Deacon isn’t as powerful as he once was.
RS:
I guess we’ll find out, because Deac’s got a baptism of fire tonight.
The ref is calling for a break. Will
Hornet give a clean break?
ByB:
Don’t forget the ‘ClaimStakers’.
RS:
I’m sure Deacon hasn’t either. Ref
counting for the 5 count and… Hornet lets go.
Deacon walks out of the corner and, HORNET RACES AT HIM.
Deacon side steps and sends Hornet to the rope.
Hornet back and both men throw a shoulder.
ByB:
And Hornet didn’t go down. I’m
telling you, Deacon isn’t the man he was.
RS:
Hornet back into the ropes and he slides under Deacon’s legs.
Stands up… BACK ELBOW from Deacon.
ByB:
NO! Hornet ducks, grabs the
arm and Belly to Back Suplex. Hornet
quick to grab that arm and wrap it up with an armbar.
It appears he’s working on the shoulder early.
RS:
It appears Hornet is going with history considering that was Deacon’s
problem when last he wrestled.
ByB:
Rudy, keep talking, but we’ve got to take a break…
RS:
Fans, if anything happens during the…
(CUT TO:
COMMERCIAL BREAK)
RS:
Welcome back, guys... Hornet
has continued to work over Deacon’s shoulder during the break.
Right now, he’s got that shoulder bent in a way it’s not supposed to
go, that much is for sure, and Deacon is face down on the mat.
ByB:
Welcome back to the CSWA, Deacon.
RS:
He’s certainly being reintroduced in true fashion.
Deacon raises up with his free hand, Hornet trying to hold him down.
Now how’s THAT for strength?
ByB:
It’s – Deacon grabs Hornet’s head and … HE’S STANDING UP!
Hornet is wrenching on that shoulder, but Deacon is NOT giving up.
Deacon has him in a Standing Fireman’s carry position…
Death Valley
Driver!
RS:
But Deacon can’t capitalize. He’s
grabbing that shoulder, trying to work the kinks out of it.
Hornet’s trying to clear his head and- -
ByB:
Deacon with a running knee. NO!
Hornet grabs him and delivers a STIRRING Spinebuster.
Deacon may not be as big as before, but he’s still around that 300
pounds mark!
RS:
And Hornet is back on that shoulder.
He wraps it around the ropes and is wrenching up on that, the ref calling
for the break.
ByB:
And he breaks.
RS:
Hornet picks up Deacon… SHOULDERBREAKER!
Hornet hefts him back up and INTO THE CORNER SHOULDERFIRST!
ByB:
Is it just me, or does the word “ring rust” probably have a picture
of Deacon next to its definition?
RS:
He’s certainly trying to work out the kinks.
I think he lacks some of that early skill that we remember so fondly.
ByB:
Well, Hornet is having his way with him.
I have to wonder if Deacon should return to the ring with this much going
against him.
RS:
But remember his words in promoting this match – “It’s in my
weakness that HE, in reference to his personal beliefs, is made strong”.
Maybe this is how Deacon wants to be?
BB:
Face down on the mat after receiving 2 clotheslines and a piledriver?
RS:
… Hornet gets him back up. NECKBREAKER
by Hornet. He goes for the
pin…1…2 KICKOUT WITH AUTHORITY.
More of that missing power you love to call, Billy.
ByB:
But he’s still not able to take advantage.
Hornet moves back in, whip to the corner and he’s coming in with a.
RS:
DEACON MOVES! Hornet falls
through the ropes and lands HARD outside the ring.
Deacon still holding that shoulder as he looks to the crowd.
They’re getting worked up here as Hornet starts to get back to his
feet…What’s Deacon going to do?
(Deacon bounces off
the far ropes, he’s heading back toward Hornet and…)
ByB:
HE FLIPPED OVER THE TOP AND LANDED ON TOP OF HORNET.
THAT IS 300 POUNDS ON HORNET’S SHOULDERS AND NECK!
RS:
That certainly surprised everyone here.
Deacon stands up with a huge smile on his face.
You would think he enjoyed that risky situation.
ByB:
Hornet certainly didn’t. Deacon
picks him back up and rolls him inside.
RS:
DEACON HEADING UP TOP! Hornet
is standing up, Deacon poised to attack and CLOTHESLINE FROM THE TOP ROPE!
Deacon with the pin attempt… 1- 2… Not a 3 count after this one.
Deacon picks up Hornet and- -
ByB:
Hornet with a jawbreaker!
RS:
And that might as well be a heartbreaker for the big man.
Hornet grabs Deacon’s arm and - - DEACON WITH A BEAR HUG!
He’s cinched it in, and in this case, Deacon is ALSO going with
history. Hornet’s back problems
are legendary.
ByB:
And so is Hornet’s resiliency. No
sooner does Deacon lock it in than Hornet starts pounding away at that shoulder.
Deacon HAS to let go. Deacon
holding his shoulder. Hornet holding
his back.
RS:
Not for long, Hornet grabs Deacon and MANHATTAN DROP by Deacon!
I hope Hornet didn’t forget his cup… OH!
Big boot to the face by Deacon. No
cup to protect you up there.
ByB:
And the Big Man is calling for it.
RS:
Listen to this crowd. Hornet
pulls himself up on all fours. Deacon
grabs his head, puts him in position. We’re
going to see the ALTAR CALL!
ByB:
NOPE! Hornet grabs those
legs, pulls Deacon’s legs out from under him, kick to the midsection and…
SCORPION DEATHLOCK! HORNET’S
CINCHED IT IN!
RS:
Oh no, this can’t be happening.
ByB:
What? Deacon losing?
RS:
NO! Commercial break.
ByB:
You’ve GOT to be kidding me?
RS:
…nope. We gotta pay the
bills. If anything, and I DO mean
ANYTHING happens, we will show it to you on instant replay.
(CUT TO:
COMMERCIAL)
RS:
Welcome back. As you can see,
Deacon is still fighting for all his worth in this move, and with that weakened
shoulder, he appears to be unable to gather the force to get out of the Scorpion
DeathLock. He’s been fighting
this, but I’m not sure how much longer he can hold out.
ByB:
OH NO!
RS:
What?
ByB:
We’ve got visitors.
RS:
You’ve GOT to be kidding me. NOW?
ByB:
GXW is heading down this way! Chris Lehew and
Mike Plett
are on their way down!
RS: Shouldn't
they be a little more worried about their match against Troy Windham and Shane
Southern later tonight?
ByB: Maybe
they're gonna take the clippers to Hornet or Deacon now!
RS: Plett grabs
a chair and slides into the ring. WHAM! He nails Hornet and breaks
up the Scorpion.
ByB: I bet
Deacon forgets to send a thank you note for that one.
RS: Hornet will
win this match by disqualification, but he might lose to GXW in the short
run! Plett pastes Hornet with the chair again as Lehew lays into him with
the boots. Deacon is in the nearby corner recovering from the
Scorpion. Lehew and Plett pull Hornet to his feet. Plett throws the
chair to the mat as he sets up Hornet... Russian legsweep onto the chair!
The back of Hornet's head connected hard with that chair... and Lehew follows
with that big guillotine leg drop. These two are doing a number on Hornet.
ByB: And here
comes the Mute Freak to join in!
RS: I doubt
that! Deacon slams into Lehew from behind, sending him through the middle
ropes. Plett grabs the chair to go after him, but Deacon swats it and
sends it flying across the ring. A hard right hand staggers Mikey long
enough for Deacon to pick him up. He sets him for the crucifix powerbomb...but
Lehew makes the save from behind, hitting Deacon in that worked-over
shoulder. But Hornet's on his feet as Plett hits the mat. Reverse
neckbreaker on Lehew... and now Hornet tosses him back outside.
ByB: Come on...
you know Deacon wants to grab that chair and pound him.
RS: No, Deacon
picks up Sight in a gorilla press... and throws him over the top rope right on
top of Lehew! The crowd is on its feet cheering now that Deacon and Hornet
have cleared house. Now the only question that remains...
ByB: I'm gonna
gag if we have a lovey-dovey hug and handshake here.
RS: I don't
think they'll be hugging anytime soon, but Deacon has his hand
outstretched! Hornet stares him down..... then turns and rolls out
of the ring. Hornet offered his hand to Deacon early in the match, only to
be refused, and now it looks like he's returning the favor. We have to
take a break, but Leizure/Cross is up next!
Lance
Leizure vs. Nathan Cross
|
|
The crowd gave Liezure (accompanied to the ring
by Jessie Phillips, who seems to look more and more like a massive loose cannon
masked with blonde, Kurt Cobain-style hair, each and every show) a fairly decent
pop, coming off his near victory over Kevin Powers at PrimeTime.
Nathan Cross came out to little fanfare, but he quickly began to
dazzle the crowd with high impact maneuvers, springing off the top ropes like
they were his own personal playground. His
showboating between moves received mixed reaction, but he continued to woo the
crowd after each one, making them forget feelings of jeering in favor of
supporting him again. Within five
minutes of the bell, both men had shown more than they had ever shown before –
Lance Liezure pulled off moves that he, perhaps, wasn’t able to get off in his
matches with Eli Flair and Kevin Powers, including a variation on the hurricane
DDT, almost piledriving Cross into the ground.
Cross was no slouch however, and this pseudo-cruiserweight bout turned
into a mat game, but quickly degenerated into a fist fight.
Nathan Cross went for the schoolboy rollup he joked about within the
promos he cut before showtime, but Liezure rolled out and reversed…
(Joined in progress at
6:10
)
ByB: This
is surprising…
RS: Cross
with a counter, one… two, no, Liezure back over with a rollup, he gets one but
Cross is already out, rollup, AND ANOTHER reversal, but Liezure not going for
the pin… he’s lifting Cross from the position… he’s got Nathan Cross in
the air for a powerbomb…
ByB: Cross
flies back, Frank’N’Parsons, Liezure rolls through and holds on tight…
one… two…
RS: NO!
Nate back up and they’re back at reversing counters, this one has broke
down into a bout of desperation, these kids are REALLY showing us something
tonight, the crowd seems to be rooting for Lance Liezure but Nathan Cross is
showing us he can get the job done, if he sticks with it… he’s rolling a
Boston crab on Liezure… but Liezure already gets the ropes…
ByB: Now
I know why Benson drinks so much…
RS: Cross
stepping back… could be setting up a superkick or some sort of clothesline…
BUT LIEZURE WITH A SHOT TO THE GUT, LIEZURE SUITE!
LEIZURE SUITE! ONE… TWO…
THREE! Lance Liezure pulls it off,
this crowd got HOT…
Winner:
Lance Liezure
RS: What
a night this is, don’t TOUCH that dial, we’ve got Mark Windham defending
CSWA’s richest prize against TRIPLE X, we’ve got the Intruders - Pros and
GUNS both defending, Plett and Lehew are taking on Shane Southern and… WHO?
ByB: Hopefully
not the Hooded Falcon…
RS: Kid…
(CUT TO: Commercial
Break)
Aelieas
Fierte vs. Gabriel Poe |
Two big, strong
guys come into the ring… Poe with a mind that seemed to be off somewhere else
became the target of a lot of heavy-hitting moves by the young CSWA athlete, who
takes a lot of PRIDE in his craft. Apocalypse
showed a lot of veteran reserve thought, coming back with whatever Fierte had to
deal him out. Fierte almost ended
that with a STALLING SUPLEX on Poe… The fact that it only got two is simply a
testament to Poe’s will, because the entire arena could feel Fierte slam
Apocalypse. The commentators
discussed Fierte’s physical ability, but in the end it was a simple rookie
mistake of telegraphing a back body drop that gave Poe a chance to hit the
Seventh Seal for his second win in a row at the three and a half minute mark.
Winner:
"Apocalypse" Gabriel Poe
RS:
Fans, we’re about to see the CSWA return of a man wearing the GXW
colors on his chest, a man who had all the makings to be the CSWA’s greatest
competitor… but things didn’t work out, and one-bad-break-after-another,
Kendall Codine ended up heading for work outside the CSWA, but he claims to be
back here to take care of some old business… and even though it makes me sick
to my stomach that he’s one of the guys associated with Mike Plett and the
entire GXW… Codine is here to continue a classic feud with Lawrence Stanley,
who is definitely the crowd’s favorite here tonight…
Lawrence
Stanley vs. Kendall Codine |
Kendall
Codine came out to massive boos, but as always, he ignored the crowd and focused
on the task at hand – the wildly popular Lawrence Stanley.
Rudy continued to discuss the history between the two men, dating back to
the early part of 1999, and then went on to bad mouth Codine for “heading for
higher ground”. Codine’s
methodical strategy in the ring is just the same as it was when the CSWA last
saw him, as he picked apart the right leg of Stanley. Stanley
was certainly happy to return the favors, though, and both men gave each other a
great fight… Codine with a giant neckbreaker kept the tide in his favor, and
then hit the ropes and came off with a leg drop, nearly scoring the fall.
As the match progressed,
Stanley
came back and after nearly five minutes, the two hit a wild double clothesline
that took them both to the mat. Just
seconds later, Codine managed to become the first man to his feet, and looked
over toward the turnbuckles.
(Joined
in progress,

RS:
He launches off with a HUGE SPLASH on Lawrence Stanley, hooks the leg...
One… Two… Thre….NO! STANLEY
KICKS OUT AND THIS
CHARLESTON
,
SOUTH
CAROLINA
CROWD GOES INSANE!
ByB:
Lawrence
Stanley
has a lot of guts here! I can’t
really stand the guy, but Larry is putting on a superb display.
RS:
The Blade throws Stanley
into the ropes, bends over… telegraphed the move,
Stanley
ducks to a knee and slaps the taste out of Codine’s mouth!
Codine stumbles backward… Stanley
chops him hard in the chest, two times, then rests him against the ropes and
DOES IT AGAIN! Throws him into the
corner, tries to follow in. Blade
with a back body drop, Stanley
lands on the apron, mounts the top rope like a light heavyweight!
These two men are acting like CRUISERS in the ring, we’ve seen the
biggest guys pulling off the most death-defying moves tonight… Codine catches
him up top, though! Throws him off
to the extreme dislike of the crowd… Stanley
landed hard in the center of the ring
ByB:
Codine looks damn near possessed!
RS:
His hatred of Lawrence Stanley most likely knows NO bounds, it’s one of
the only things we REALLY know about the enigma that is Kendall Codine… his
friendship with Triple X, and to an extent his new running buddy Plett… his
hatred for Stanley… and here, Stanley stands up, runs into Blade, who scoops
him up and hotshots him across the top rope!
Stanley is hung out to dry as Codine is having his way with our CSWA
competitor… these fans are letting him have it, and like we’ve said tonight,
he just doesn’t give a damn.
ByB:
And while I normally would commend him for that… this GXW goon is…
RS: STANLEY
COMING BACK! ELBOW, ANOTHER… BLADE
DOUBLES OVER,
STANLEY
GOES FOR A SLAM!
ByB:
Codine… gets out!
RS:
GUILLOTINE BLADE! This place
is DEAFENING with jeers, what an emotional night in Charleston
…
one… two… three! Codine comes
back to the CSWA and his first match is a pinfall victory over Lawrence
Stanley
…
I just wish he was on our side, damnit…
ByB:
People are THROWING things already, and we’re only just over an hour
into it!
RS:
We saw Deacon’s first official match in the CSWA, he and Hornet tore
down the house like only they can… the GXW’s Kendall Codine just defeated
CSWA favorite Lawrence Stanley but don’t think that their long time rivalry
will just go away… and speaking of the GXW, we’ve got Mike Plett and …
ByB:
Captain No Name…
RS:
Well, he IS GXW… we’ve got Plett and Lehew taking on Shane Southern
and a 'mystery partner.' After PRIMETIME, you have to assume that SOMEONE
is none other than "Mr. CSWA" Troy Windham! That one’s coming
up in just a few minutes, but for right now we’re going to take a look at the
three factions that each formed their ranks at FISH FUND…
(CUT
TO: A mixtape of The Intruders,
GXW’s faction and the New PLR)
ByB:
Well… one of the new PLR guys is out here in the ring right now!
Nate
Logan vs. Wesley Paige |
This match was
originally supposed to be Logan versus former champion Evan Aho. However,
before the card, it was announced that Evan Aho had been placed on the injured
list. Wearing his PLR t-shirt, Nate Logan played into the boos of the
crowd all through this bout, working over Paige, as the commentators speculated
about the severity of Aho's injury. Logan
worked a series of heavy hitting maneuvers, and took every shortcut he could…
Logan
continued to work over Paige, even
pulling him up before three-counts in an attempt to embarrass the long-time CSWA
jobber. Finally, the ref threatened to disqualify Logan, so he hit the
Zero Hour, his combination leaping kneelift/dropping DDT.
Winner:
Nate Logan
BB:
Fans, we've got to take a break, but up next is a huge one. The GXW
contingent meets the US Champion and "Mister CSWA"... NEXT!
Chris
Lehew and "Wicked Sight" Mike Plett
vs.
Shane Southern and Troy Windham |
(Joined in progress at the six minute mark)
RS: Billy,
even you can’t deny the will being displayed right here by Shane Southern, our
United States
champion… he’s trying his best to get to his partner, Troy Windham, but
these GXW-aligned grapplers have used every underhanded method in the book of
keeping him out of that corner…
ByB: I
don’t have to admit anything, Rude-man.
RS: Mike
Plett, a man I really thought I knew, has been on a furious streak of built up
anger. Sure, he may not have always
gotten the treatment he thought he deserved, but the CSWA and the fans
appreciated everything he did, I don’t know who or what got into his head…
ByB: Then
you’re deaf. He said Zieba and
Codine talked to him!
RS: I
guess that’s about right… but he’s turned his back on us now, and even
though he hasn’t been allowed to make an appearance on GXW television yet,
he’s certainly been a big part of their organization, most especially over
here on our territory… and look at Shane Southern begin to power his way out
of this sleeper hold that Plett has on him, he’s got the crowd fired up and
you know, you KNOW Billy, Troy Windham is itching to get a hold of Wicked Sight
and for that matter anybody with the GXW colors on!
ByB: I
can’t really blame him…
RS: Shane
is coming out with a set of elbows to the ribs, and he sends Plett to the far
side, this crowd is going nuts but NO! Mike
Plett with a big time 360-degree clothesline, and the crowd just died right back
down. I remember a day not very long
ago when that move would bring this crowd to a deafening roar, but Mike Plett
had to turn his back on that! And
he’s reapplied that sleeper, or rather a rear chinlock now, on his former
running buddy, the
United States
champion, who has fought almost two-on-one here, since he hasn’t been able to
make a tag to his partner, Mr. CSWA…
ByB: Take
a breath dude!
And if I hear you babble about Plett's 'deafening roars' anymore... good grief,
the man was a mid-carder, a jobber!
RS: Look
at that! Plett released the hold and
slapped Troy! He’s taunting Windham; Troy has to keep his
composure. But he’s not and referee Benny Worthington is holding him
back, giving Mike Plett and Chris Lehew the chance to double team Southern once
again. This “Career Killer” is a
serious player. Jjust as I said with Kendall Codine earlier, I really wish
this kid was on our side but he isn’t. I
tell you what, at least I know Kendall Codine has some sort of reason for
fighting us… but Lehew, it seems like pure jealousy in my book…
ByB: But
it’s getting the job done here, is it not?
Worthington
turns around and he doesn’t even notice that Lehew and Plett have switched
positions.
RS: And
we all know how frustrating this has to be for
Troy
Windham
… Lehew has his feet on the ropes! Shane
Southern is starting to lose this one, folks, he’s doing all he can do…
ByB:
Worthington
just assaulted Lehew!
RS: No,
he merely got his legs off the ropes, and now Southern is to his knees… and
now to one knee, another set of elbows is getting him out, he shoots Lehew off
into the ropes and goes for a leapfrog… GIANT FRANK’N’PARSONS BY THE BIG
MAN, AND SHANE SOUTHERN IS POUNDING AWAY AT THE FOREHEAD OF THE CAREER KILLER!
CHRIS LEHEW IS GETTING POUNDED ON, AND NOW BOTH MEN ARE ON THEIR FEET,
SOUTHERN SENDS THE GXW STAR INTO THE ROPES AND HITS A MASSIVE SPINEBUSTER!
ByB: He
could make the tag here… both men are down.
RS: Lehew
is slowly crawling to his corner, Mike Plett wants desperately to get in and
keep his former friend from making the tag to a very fresh Troy Windham, if
Southern makes this tag, then he has done his job and Mike Plett may just get a
small bit of what is coming to him…
ByB: Lehew
makes the tag!
RS: AND
SO DOES SHANE SOUTHERN! TROY
WINDHAM
AND MIKE PLETT ARE IN THE RING TOGETHER! PLETT TRIES TO BACK OUT, BUT
WINDHAM
HAS HIM BY THE BELT!
ByB: That’s
not good for ol’ Chalupa…
RS: The
Mike Plett I once knew never backed down from a man on this planet, he stood
toe-to-toe with
Troy
in
Paducah
but right now he’s trying to run for his life, and
Troy
won’t have any part of that!
Troy
with a right hand to the side of the head, and another, and now another, he
sends Plett to the ropes and comes off with a big clothesline, and now he knocks
down Chris Lehew for good measure. Back
body drop to Wicked Sight and he goes for the pinfall, one… two… gets a two,
and now with a hip toss and an elbow drop, he goes for another cover but Chris
Lehew makes the save, but here’s Shane Southern and both Southern and Lehew
topple over the top rope…
ByB: That
gave Plett a little chance to recover, and there’s a big boot to the
midsection, you know… Plett’s been all over the map since his turn… he ran
in on Deacon and Hornet earlier in the evening with the GXW’s top dog, Dan
Ryan, and he’s calling out Evan Aho a lot.
That chip on his shoulder is very, very big.
RS: And
anyone in the CSWA that he feels wronged him is in his way, this is true, and
right now he’s showing why I can’t believe he feels that way… the talent
Mike Plett possesses in the ring is undeniable.
There’s a big splash from the middle turnbuckle, but Troy Windham kicks
right out and he comes in with a three point stance block, Plett hits the
ground, and
Troy
comes back after him with a … MIKE PLETT PULLS BENNY WORTHINGTON IN THE WAY
AND THE REFEREE HITS THE GROUND!
ByB: What…
a…veteran maneuver…
RS: AND
A LOW BLOW BY MICHAEL PLETT ON
TROY
WINDHAM
! Chris Lehew just slid Shane
Southern’s United States Heavyweight strap into the ring, Plett sees it and
he’s reaching for it. Lehew in the
ring, too, now, and PLETT SWINGS THE BELT AT TROY, TROY MOVES OUT OF THE WAY AND
PLETT HITS LEHEW! SLACKKNIFE!
SLACKKNIFE BY
TROY
WINDHAM
ON THE BELT, AND THERE’S NO REFEREE TO COUNT!
ByB: Troy
Windham is trying to revive the referee, but to no avail, and he’s the only
one able to stand right now, Chris Lehew landed a devastating blow with the US
belt on Shane Southern! Hee’s busted wide open out here, and Lehew got
clocked by his own man in the ring…
Troy
is still trying to get
Worthington
to his feet…
RS: Plett
… what’s he doing? He’s
rolling Chris Lehew out of the ring…
Worthington
is up now and
Troy
spins around… Plett and Lehew are walking off!
They’re getting out of Dodge!
ByB: Dodge?
We’re in Charleston.
RS: Whatever,
Billy… Mike Plett and Chris Lehew are walking off, and Troy Windham is holding
the ropes open, begging Mike to get back in the ring… It looks like he and a
bloodied up Shane Southern, who’s back to his feet now and in the ring… it
looks like these two came out on top here, but I can tell that these four have
more fights ahead of them.
ByB: How profound, Rudy.
RS: Shut up, you Benson wannabe
reject. Up next, it's time for the Greensboro Championship match!
Greensboro
Championship
GUNS vs. "Big Time" Michael Gettis |
“Big Time” wanted to come into this match
proving a lot, and “GUNning” for the
Greensboro
title, but he didn’t get to do much of that.
His skills are unquestionable, but a nasty, condescending GUNS by far got
the better of him with an overpowering array of the largest arms in wrestling
and finally, the Bionic Knee. Gettis
had got in several one-ups on GUNS, including a drop toe hold into the corner
turnbuckles followed by a nice dropkick to the back of the head, but after
sending Gettis on a trip to Third Row, GUNS won the bout via countout, when he
decided not to “waste his time” anymore.
Winner: GUNS
Unified
Tag Team Championships
The Professionals vs. The New Suicide Squad |
Tsunami has been a Unified Tag Team Champion before, but never with his current
partner, "Warhorse" Johnny Lang. The Professionals were looking
to concrete their status as defending champions. They paved the way early,
jumping on Tsunami with a doubleteam and sending him over the top rope to the
floor. Miles went outside to make sure Tsunami wouldn't get back to his
corner, while Mayfield laid into the young Warhorse. It looked like
Mayfield might send Lang to the outside as well, but instead, he hotshotted Lang
neck-first into the ropes. Mayfield quickly took advantage and nailed Lang
with the Screwjob spinning tombstone. Tsunami tried to get back in the
ring to break up the pin, but got pulled off the apron by Miles, leaving Lang to
take the three-count.
Winners: The Professionals
CSWA
World Heavyweight Championship
"The Living
Legend" Mark Windham
vs.
"Triple X" Sean Stevens |
RS: Welcome back to ON TIME! We're
gearing up for our MAIN EVENT for the CSWA World Championship between champion
Mark Windham and first-time challenger Triple X. Both men are in the
center of the ring, circling each other, sizing the other up… collar- and-
elbow… Mark Windham’s definitely the stronger of the two, he has Triple X in
the corner and he looks like he’s about to break as the referee’s count has
gotten up to four.
ByB: It looks like he’s just teasing him, I
don’t think he’ll hit him… I think it’s more along the lines of
Windham
showing Stevens who the stronger of the two is…
RS: Overhand right by Mark Windham!
ByB: Then again…
RS: Stevens has doubled over,
Windham
moves in… lifts him up… chop! (SFX: Wooooooooh echoes throughout the
arena.) And, listen to these people that brings back memories. Triple X’s
chest has to be red…
Windham
whips him to the turnbuckle, and Stevens hits hard. He’s on his mat, holding
his back in pain.
ByB: Think he may have gotten more than he
bargained for?
RS: Maybe… the champ moves in, raises Stevens
off the mat and lifts him up… sidewalk slam! He drops down for the cover, One,
Two, Kickout by Triple X. Windham pounds the mat, but he had to know this one
couldn’t have been over that fast, right?
ByB: Wrong.
Windham
wasn’t around throughout much of the Triple X era, if you want to call it
that. To him, Stevens is just a snot-nosed punk, who talks to much. And, in a
lot of cases, he is, but he can back it up. I’m not so sure Mark Windham knows
that.
RS:
Windham
lifts Triple X to his feet again… sends him to the ropes… Trip reverses…
Windham
bounces off, hip toss!
Windham
’s back up fast, Dropkick,
Windham
’s up again… Superkic—No, Mark ducks it… Triple X turns around,
Face-Buster by our champion! Wow, what was a pretty interesting sequence.
ByB: Yeah, I think Stevens caught him off guard
there… I’m sure he’ll do a better job of keeping the young man down.
RS:
Windham
with a leg drop. Cover… One, Two, Thr—Kickout by Stevens.
Windham
with a handful of hair, lifts Stevens to his feet… Pulling Piledriver! That
looked like it hurt! One, Two, Kickout!
ByB: I thought that that one quite possibly
could’ve done the trick.
Windham
did, too, I’m sure.
RS:
Windham
appears to be thinking of what to do next… Stevens has rolled over on his
stomach, trying to make it to his feet. This is his first CSWA World Title shot,
and it can’t be going exactly how he imagined it would. He has to be exhausted
mentally and physically, though… especially after that war he had in
Orlando
with Eli Flair. What a great contest that was by the way, with both men
refusing to lose.
ByB: Yeah, it was… they both put on a show for
Trip’s hometown.
RS: But, that was then, this is now, and right
now, the World Champion is on the prowl… he lifts Triple X up to his feet…
he appears to be setting him up for a rude awakening type neck breaker, he has
Sean hooked up nicely, Windham drops down, but Stevens latched on to the top
rope, so Mark went down without him! That was clever… Stevens heads to the
outside, he leaps up to the top turnbuckle,
Windham
’s up on his feet, though… he turns around… Flying forearm from the top…
Trip with the cover… One, Two, Thre—Wow! Half a second away from the CSWA
title! His heart has to be racing.
ByB: Yeah, that was a close one… almost too
close. Mark had better wake up, Triple X is fully capable of beating any CSWA
superstar on any given day. Mark Windham’s no exception.
RS: Stevens heads back up to the top…
Windham
’s already down… Swan Dive! He connects! It’s academic… One, Two, Thr—Shoulder
up! Oh my! These fans are starting to believe! Listen to them get behind Triple
X!
ByB: It’s not that the crowd’s starting to
believe, that should worry Mark… look at Triple X… he’s starting to
believe, too!
RS: He’s pounding the mat with his leg,
signaling for Mark to get up to his feet… I think he’s gonna try and end
this with his patented Superkick.
Windham
’s up on his feet… he turns around… Trip nails it—No!
Windham
caught it, spins him around… stops him midway and nails him with a German
suplex! But, he’s not letting go… ONE MORE! He still has him hooked… ONE
MORE! He bridges… One, Two, Thre-- Shoulder up!
(SFX: Ding, Ding, Ding)
ByB: What in the hell just happened? *You* said
Stevens had his shoulder up… the referee’s signaling for the bell… Mark
Windham is up on his feet confused as to whether he should raise his hands in
victory, or continue to pounce on Triple X, who is slowly struggling to his
feet.
RS: Let’s take it down to Rhubarb Jones for the
official call.
RJ: Ladies and gentlemen, the winner of the
match, and STILL CSWA World Heavyweight Champion… Mark Windham!!
RS: I guess that answers our question. Good
showing by both men, though. Triple X came to fight and fight he did.
ByB: But...as usual for the Trips... it's
not enough.
RS: I don't think there are many here that
would agree with you, Billy. But there's one thing even you can't disagree
with...and that's that we're out of time! Folks, we'll see you soon.
For Billy Buckley and the rest of the ON TIME crew, this is Rudy Seitzer signing
off!
