Anniversary 1997: CSWA World Tournament BILL BUCKLEY: Let's head down to Rhubarb Jones for the introductions! RJ: Ladies and gentlemen, the following is a one-fall contest with no time limit. This is the CSWA WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP TOURNAMENT FINALS! (crowd cheers) First, hailing from San Antonio, Texas, and standing at five feet eleven inches and three hundred sixty-five pounds, here is the former multi-time Enterprise World Heavyweight Champion, the man with the Strongest Arms In The World, here is GUNS!!!!! SAMMY BENSON: The man with the most chemicals running through his system. BILL BUCKLEY: I think he heard you, Sammy. SAMMY BENSON: You're kidding, right? BILL BUCKLEY: Uh uh. SAMMY BENSON: I gotta get outta here, Buckley! He'll rip my freakin' head off! BILL BUCKLEY: Relax, Sammy, there's no way he could hear you over this crowd. They don't seem to like GUNS very much, and they're letting him know it. SAMMY BENSON: Well, I wonder why that is. I mean, the man has had his family and home decimated by a calculating nemesis...by all rights these fools should love the big guy! BILL BUCKLEY: The fans have a longer memory than that, Sammy. SAMMY BENSON: It doesn't have anything to do with memory, it has to do with the fool that's about to come out next. RHUBARB JONES: The other competitor in this MAIN EVENT has chosen not to reveal his identity. He has cut through his half of this tournament like a hot knife through butter, and now stands on the verge of the CSWA World Title. He is....MASKED MAN #3! BILL BUCKLEY: The masked man comes out to know music, no lights, no flash, no pomp or circumstance, and yet these fans are on their feet...apparently our would-be World Champion has chosen not to reveal himself yet. SAMMY BENSON: Why would he? If Hornet wins the title, the CSWA can't very well tell him, "Well, we can't let you back in because of the match at FISH FUND," now can they? BILL BUCKLEY: You never know with Merritt around, we may have to go through another whole tournament. SAMMY BENSON: Don't even joke about that. And please, Merritt would pay millions to get Hornet back in the CSWA. BILL BUCKLEY: Well, these fans certainly seem to think it's Hornet, because they're chanting his name. And I'm slowly beginning to believe it might be him, too. SAMMY BENSON: I'm telling you, if he loses this match, he'll never take that mask off. If he wins, well, then he'll take it off to gloat. BILL BUCKLEY: Hold on a second, Masked Man #3 has grabbed the microphone! He's apparently got a few words for GUNS, or for this crowd... MASKED MAN #3: I'm gonna make this real simple so that you can understand it, GUNS... SAMMY BENSON: Hey....that's not... MASKED MAN #3: As they say...the third time's a charm! (Masked Man #3 pulls the black covering from his face) BILL BUCKLEY: HOLYCOW!! It's JULIUS GODREIGN!! JULIUS GODREIGN was the masked man!!! Look at GUNS' face; he's in shock!! SAMMY BENSON: Either surprised to see him, or surprised not to see Hornet! BILL BUCKLEY: These fans are cheering Godreign!! Maybe the first time in his career he can say that!! The bell rings, and it's Godreign versus GUNS for the CSWA World Title! They've met twice before in the IRONMAN of CHAMPIONS, with both having a win apiece over the other. This is the rubber match, and it's for the CSWA World Heavyweight Championship. SAMMY BENSON: These two have a habit of meeting when the stakes are high, don't they? BILL BUCKLEY: You can say that again. SAMMY BENSON: These two have a habit... BILL BUCKLEY: Stop it, Sammy. BILL BUCKLEY: The bell rings, and finally we're about to crown a new CSWA World Heavyweight Champion! GUNS isn't wasting any time, he goes right after Godreign!! GUNs backs Julius up in a corner...and fires shoulder after shoulder into Godreign's gut! SAMMY BENSON: The last two times these men met, GUNS was a different man...he's more serious than maybe at any point in his career! BILL BUCKLEY: Whoa...an actual comment. But, you're right Sammy. Bill's family problems have changed his focus for sure! SAMMY BENSON: I'm always right.. BILL BUCKLEY: GUNS clothesline's Godreign up and over the top rope!! He's come out here tonight like a ball fire! Both men are on the outside....Godreign slow to get to his feet.. SAMMY BENSON: He better hurry, cause Mr.Bonanza has a chair! BILL BUCKLEY: GUNS cracks Julius over the head with a steel chair! The IRONMAN certainly made it personal for these two, Sammy they don't like each other! SAMMY BENSON: No really? Heck I don't like them either... in fact their MOTHERS don't.... BILL BUCKLEY: We get your point, fat man. GUNS grabs Godreign by the arm and slings him into the security railing! SAMMY BENSON: I'm guessing the 10 count has been waved.. either that or, Thomas has hired another alien ref. You know, there IS a point when cheap labor crosses the line! BILL BUCKLEY: GUNS rolls Julius back in the ring... the man is smart enough to realize you have to win it, inside the ring! He's wasting no time, sending Godreign across the ropes, OH! He telegraphed the backdrop and Julius pops him in the mouth! SAMMY BENSON: He either lost a tooth, or his spit is as hard as a rock! BILL BUCKLEY: Godreign with that blow, manages to catch is breath! Swinging neckbreaker! A quick count, ONE...! That's all. Obiviously the surprise pin isn't going to work. SAMMY BENSON: No kidding...look at the man, idiot.. he's huge! BILL BUCKLEY: I'll ignore that remark and move on...that's why I'm a professional! Julius moves on the attack..he whips GUNS into the ropes, and catches him with an elbow! The former NWC World champion, isn't wasting any time..he's going for the figure 4! SAMMY BENSON: Go young man Go! BILL BUCKLEY: Godreign has one leg, but GUNS pushes him away and Julius hits head first into the turnbuckle! SAMMY BENSON: I told him, it was too early! BILL BUCKLEY: Julius a little stunned from that hit...meanwhile GUNS is to his feet! He bounces off the ropes and hits Godreign with a shoulderblock! SAMMY BENSON: Remember, folks that's the shoulder he injuried in that plane crash years ago.. BILL BUCKLEY: Hush..GUNs fires Julius into the ropes, and he catches him with a Lariat!! Ohmy, that nearly took his head off Sammy! SAMMY BENSON: How many times have we heard that before? Huh. I mean I've never in my life seen a man's head taken off my a Lariat..yet every show there's some idiot to say-- (Bill smacks him in the back of the head) BILL BUCKLEY: That's enough fats..GUNS picks up Godreign.. Gorilla press slam!! GUNS must have pressed him over his head, atleast six times! Godreign on his knee, he seems to be begging GUNS for mercy.. SAMMY BENSON: Speaking of begging, when do I get a beer around here, it's been long enough... BILL BUCKLEY: Julius rakes the eyes!! Drops to one knee and gives GUNS a shot to the groin! I know move excites you, Sammy, but that's cheap! SAMMY BENSON: I don't care what you call it, you do what you have to do to win, Buckley. Now, outside the ring people should go to jail for such things! BILL BUCKLEY: Godreign takes advantage of GUNS, vertical suplex! Julius begins to taunt GUNS a little bit, he seems to have found his stride! Godreign with a side russian leg sweep! SAMMY BENSON: I knew it, he's a commie... BILL BUCKLEY: Cheap political humor you gotta love it. Godreign throws GUNS into the ropes, flying dropkick! Godreign took time to measure GUNS and nailed him! SAMMY BENSON: Measured him? What kind of show are we running here? I mean if we're going to measure anyone, let's bring Teri out here. BILL BUCKLEY: I like that. Godreign with a butterfly suplex! And now he's headed to the top! Dare I say if he hits this, we could crown a new champion! SAMMY BENSON: And GUNS gets the nice parting gift of the USN Heavyweight title! What a show! BILL BUCKLEY: Godreign perched on top, GUNS to his feet... Julius flies off the top, but misses a clothesline attempt!! SAMMY BENSON: Okay so he missed, I just know that someone is getting the parting gift. BILL BUCKLEY: This crowd has actually rallied behind GUNS! GUNS sends Godreign across the ring, off the ropes, POWERSLAM! SAMMY BENSON: He nearly took his head off with that one... BILL BUCKLEY: Don't mock me.. SAMMY BENSON: Sorry.. BILL BUCKLEY: GUNS has Godreign set up, PILEDRIVER!! That's it, Sammy it has to be! ONE......TWO......NO!! How in the world did Godreign get his shoulder up on that one!!?? SAMMY BENSON: He lifted it up??? Just a guess.. BILL BUCKLEY: GUNS isn't done yet..he's going for another one!! NO! Godreign managed to flip him over his back! Great counter by Julius! SAMMY BENSON: I imagine having his head buried under GUNs' legs, was incentive enough to counter.. BILL BUCKLEY: That's Sammy. Godreign with a short arm clothesline... Julius backs GUNS up against the ropes, slings him across the ring...he's got a sleeper hold!! SAMMY BENSON: It's nighty night time for GUNS! Actually it's my bed time as well, where's Teri? BILL BUCKLEY: Um...stop. GUNS is in a lot of trouble! Godreign has the sleeper in the middle of the ring, GUNS drops to his knees! Sammy he's going to sleep! SAMMY BENSON: He's heartless, Buckley... he won't fight back, his drug abusing kind never do. BILL BUCKLEY: Ben Worthington lifts the arm up one time, and it drops! Worthington again checks the arm, and it drops again! SAMMY BENSON: One more time, and GUNS is the USN champion! BILL BUCKLEY: Worthington lifts the arm, but this time GUNS manages to keep it in the air!! The crowd is going wild!! GUNS to his feet...he dives backwards and sends Godreign into the turnbuckle! That breaks the sleeper! SAMMY BENSON: Ohdearme BILL BUCKLEY: GUNS doesn't waste anytime, Godreign is stunned, GUNS has him in position....TOMBSTONE PILEDRIVER!!! HERE'S THE COVER, ONE.....TWO......THREE!!!! I don't believer it, GUNS is the NEW CSWA WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION!! SAMMY BENSON: Oh, Why!! Why!!?? BILL BUCKLEY: GUNS, has the belt in his hands, he's beside himself! Godreign has a chair, he's not taking this loss too well! GUNS steps out of the ring just in time!! He's walking back to the dressing room, with the World Title over his shoulder!! SAMMY BENSON: Let's not forget Godreign is the USN champion! BILL BUCKLEY: True, Godreign has the mic, Sammy! JULIUS GODREIGN: GUNS!! You got lucky today, son... it's not over.. BILL BUCKLEY: Godreign throws down the mic, and flips off the crowd!! OHmy! Fans, we're flush out of time we'll see ya later!
