AAWC UNDER NEW OWNERSHIP: 8/5/95 GUNS/Adler for EN and AAWC Universal MK: Thank you very much! Now it's time for the main event! It is scheduled for one fall with no disqualifications, no count out, no time limit! There will be a winner! The only way to win is to escape from the cage by either climbing over the top or going through the door! The AAWC Universal Heavyweight Championship and the Enterprises World Heavyweight Championship will both be on the line! Now, here are the participants! Introducing first, accompanied to the ring by his manager, TTL! ("Bad to the Bone" plays.) He hails from San Antonio, Texas, and is the current EN World Heavyweight Champion! Please welcome the Strongest Arms in the World and the number one contender to the AAWC Universal title, GUNS! (Crowd boos as GUNS and TTL make their way down the aisle. GUNS has the EN title draped over his shoulder.) SMITH: Take a look at those eyes! GUNS wants this victory in the worst way! He wants that Universal title! Uh oh! GUNS has just spottedHornet here at the broadcast table and he's coming over here! HORNET: Hey GUNS, did you have a nice fall at Fish Fund? GUNS: I want you Hornet! After I rip Adler apart tonight, you're mine! HORNET: Anytime, steroid boy! GUNS: How bout we do it right now, Bugbrain! SMITH: Oh my! GUNS just stunned Hornet with a hard right hand but Hornet responded in kind! TTL runs over and pulls GUNS away and tells him to get in the cage! GUNS is still screaming and cursing at Hornet, who once again sits down at the broadcast table! HORNET: That guy is an absolute maniac! GUNS, why don't you worry about beating Tom Adler before you climb this tree again. We'll have another day in the sun before you go off to the glue factory! MK: And his opponent! ("Magnificence" plays.) He is accompanied to the ring by Dr. Thomas Knight! He hails from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and is the current AAWC Universal Heavyweight Champion! Kicking off his Magnificence Tour II, please welcome "Mr. Magnificent" Tom Adler! (Crowd erupts as Adler and Knight appear from the curtain. Adler is wearing a blue and gold singlet and has the AAWC Universal title belt draped over his shoulder.) SMITH: Tom Adler looks cool, cocky, and confident as always as he makes his way down the aisle toward the cage! Before he goes through the door, he stops and takes a long look over here at the boradcast table, and I don't think he's staring at me! HORNET: Well, I've heard the grumblings that he's looking to conclude his Magnificence Tour II against me. I hate to break this to him, but his tour could be over before it ever gets started if he looks past GUNS. I know all too well about GUNS' power. This is not the same GUNS that Adler remembers, bad knee or no bad knee, this manis more dangerous than he's ever been! SMITH: Now Tom Adler steps into the ring and shakes the hand of Coach K, and now he and GUNS have a long staredown in the ring as the referee holds both belts high in the air, and then steps to the outside and locks the door! HORNET: This place is, pardon the pun, buzzing with excitement as the bell rings! We're underway! SMITH: Adler and GUNS talking a bit of trash in the center of the ring! Oh my! Adler just spit his gum right in the face of the EN World Champion! GUNS responds by leveling the Universal champion with a hard right hand, and he stays right on him with a series of axhandles to the back! HORNET: I think Adler made GUNS mad, and that's the last thing you want to do with a man that powerful! He'll hammer a hole in your back! SMITH: GUNS now pulls Adler up by the hair and whips him hard into the cage! Adler staggers away from the cage and GUNS levels Adler with a hard clothesline, and follows it up by dropping the elbow! HORNET: Tom Adler is taking a physical beating early courtesy of the EN champ! Notice I didn't say the Unified champ! SMITH: You were the reason that GUNS is not the Unified World Champion today, getting yourself intentionally disqualified in the final match! This feud between you and GUNS has escalated to an all time high! GUNS once again picks Adler up by the hair and throws him headfirst into the cage! Adler staggers out and GUNS catches him with a kick to the gut, and follows it up with a big power bomb! What a start by GUNS! HORNET: GUNS picks Adler up by the hair again and goes to ram him headfirst into the cage, but Adler blocked it with his foot and responded with an elbow to the face! Now a rake of the eyes by Mr. Magnificent, and he follows it up by ramming GUNS hard into the cage! And again! Adler now whips GUNS off of the ropes and catches him with a stun gun right into the cage! Great rally by Tom Adler! SMITH: Indeed it was! Both men are busted open early in this contest! Tom Adler now working GUNS over in the corner, burying his head and shoulders into the breadbasket of GUNS! Now he snapmares GUNS out of the corner and into the center of the ring! GUNS sitting up in the middle of the ring! Adler comes out, jumps over him and snaps the neck down! Adler stays right on him and picks him up for a suplex, but GUNS blocked it and uses his strength advantage to pick Adler up into a vertical suplex position, and down! Crushing suplex by the EN champion! HORNET: GUNS has so much power in there, and I was surprised with how much technical skill he had the first time I met him! He's a really tough opponent, but so is Tom Adler! SMITH: GUNS rakes Adler's face across the cage now, ripping the flesh off of that Magnificent forehead! Now he rams the head hard into the cage, sending Adler stumbling toward the middle of the ring! GUNS comes from behind and delivers a bulldog! Excellent move! Now GUNS calls for the official to open the cage door! Adler quickly back to his feet however and he jumps GUNS from behind! Russian legsweep by the Universal champion keeps GUNS from getting out, and the cage door is closed once again! HORNET: A little too early to expect to get out, but it certainly doesn't hurt to try. I wouldn't want to be in there with either man any longer than I had to be to get the victory. SMITH: Tom Adler once again in control, and he's going to work on the bad knee of GUNS! He drops a big elbow on that bad knee, and pulls up on the foot while laying on that knee, applying a lot of pressure! Now Adler sets that bad knee up on the bottom rope! Adler takes a running start and jumps with both feet on that knee! And now GUNS is writhing in pain on the canvas! HORNET: Everybody knows about the beating that GUNS' knee has taken since Mike Randalls plunged that stake into it! It's a target for every one of his opponents, but remember, Tom Adler has a bad knee himself! SMITH: Adler staying right on GUNS, but GUNS hammers him with a right hand to the gut! Now he grabs the tights and throws him hard into the cage! Adler staggers back and GUNS GUNS clips Adler in that bad knee! Now it's GUNS who is going to work on Adler's bad knee! GUNS is relentlessly stomping away on that knee of Tom Adler, which has been bad for quite a few years! GUNS now pulls Adler into the center of the ring, and yes! GUNS has hooked the figure four leglock on the Universal champion! HORNET: It's going to be hard for him to keep the pressure on with the bad knee of his own, but he's sure to be doing damage to Adler's bad knee! SMITH: Tom Adler refusing to acknowledge the pain, but you can see the grimace on his face! This figure four leglock is taking its toll on that leg! Tom Adler trying to get to the ropes out of instinct, but it won't matter because there's no referee in the ring. HORNET: You're right. Adler is going to have to break this hold on his own, and he tries with a hard right hand to the head of GUNS! That stunned him a little bit and allowed Adler to get some momentum going! He's trying to reverse the hold! GUNS trying to fight it! SMITH: Adler has done it! He has reversed the figure four leglock and now it is GUNS who is feeling the pain of the figure four! But GUNS manages to get to the ropes and has so much upper body strength that he literally pulls himself out of the figure four! Adler now gets over to GUNS and rams him headfirst into that steel cage! He whips GUNS off the ropes and catches him with a hard clothesline! Now he rocks the EN champ with a hard right hand! He whips GUNS off the ropes once again and hooks him in the sleeper hold! HORNET: This is a great thinking move by Adler! If he can put GUNS to sleep, he'll be able to stroll right out the cage door for the win! SMITH: GUNS is starting to fade a little bit, but he backs up hard into the cage, in an effort to break the hold, but Adler held on! Now Adler shoves GUNS hard into the cage! GUNS staggers back and Adler hooks him in an abdominal stretch! No! Adler Plex! Adler quickly releases the hold and heads for the door! GUNS quickly recovers and tackles Adler from behind! Adler trying to crawl out the door! He's got his hands on the arena floor, but to win, both FEET have to touch the floor, and GUNS has a firm grasp on Adler's feet! TTL runs over and...oh my! He just slammed the cage door on Adler's head! GUNS pulls Adler back and now GUNS tries to dive through the door, but Adler has a hold of GUNS' foot! TTL grabs GUNS' arms and is trying to pull him out the door! Who is going to win this tug of war? HORNET: Yeah! Thomas Knight ran over and he nailed TTL with a hard right hand, allowing Adler to pull GUNS back into the ring and the ref closes the door! Now the official breaks up the two managers, and he's ejected them from ringside! SMITH: TTL and Thomas Knight have been ejected from ringside and neither one is happy about it! Meanwhile, Adler whips GUNS off the ropes and catches him with a leg whip to the knee! GUNS staggers to his feet and Adler clips him in the knee from behind! Now Tom Adler begins climbing the cage! He doesn't think GUNS will be able to climb quickly enough with that bad knee, but Adler's knee is in bad shape as well! GUNS is back to his feet and he follows Adler up the cage! HORNET: Adler throws his legs over the top of the cage! He's out! All he has to do is climb down and he'll win the match! Wait a minute! GUNS reached over the top of the cage and grabbed Adler by the hair! SMITH: GUNS has his foot on the very top of the cage as he pulls Adler back up by his hair! What incredible arm strength by GUNS! He's pulled Adler back up to the top of the cage! Oh my! GUNS just delivered a superplex from the top of the cage! I don't believe it! Both men hit the mat very hard, and neither man is moving! Both men are down in the center of the ring following that awesome maneuver! HORNET: GUNS belongs in a psycho ward! He's out of his mind trying a move like that! He could have killed himself, especially with a bad knee! He's not all there! There's something seriously wrong with that guy! SMITH: Neither man has moved a muscle following that dangerous superplex! The referee might have to call this one a draw! Wait a minute! GUNS sits up first and now he crawls toward the cage and begins to climb! HORNET: He's thinking that Adler can stop him from going through the door quicker than he can stop him from going over the cage! But it also takes a bit longer to climb over the cage, so I don't know if this is a good idea. SMITH: Adler is back to his feet, but there's no way he can catch GUNS! He's headed for the door! He might be able to beat him to the floor! GUNS sees it and comes off the top of the cage! Oh my! He just leveled Tom Adler with a flying shoulderblock from the top of the steel cage! What an amazing maneuver! HORNET: I can't believe some of the moves GUNS has done from the top of that cage! I have to tip my hat to him. He wants to win and he doesn't care about the consequences! SMITH: Now GUNS calls for the cage door to be opened! He's crawling toward the door! Tom Adler is not moving! I think he's out cold, but GUNS is moving awfully slowly! That move took a lot out of him as well! He's almost to the door! Tom Adler sits up and dives on GUNS' legs just as the EN champ was halfway through the door! Adler now pulls GUNS back into the ring and into the center of the ring! He's setting him up, and yes! Tom Adler has hooked the Master Lock on GUNS in the center of the ring! How much can that knee take? HORNET: Adler knows he can't win by submission, but he;s trying to weaken that knee enough so that GUNS can't stop him from leaving the cage, or at least make him pass out from the pain! Either way, Tom Adler has this match won if he can keep this hold on long enough! SMITH: I have to agree with you there, Hornet! Wait a minute! Submarine has just hit ringside and he blindsided the outside referee and rammed him headfirst into the cage! Submarine has the keys to the cage and he has opened the door! Here comes Battleship! The Armed Forces have locked themselves in the cage with Tom Adler! Submarine runs over and kicks Adler in the head to break the Master Lock! Adler responds with a hard right hand that rocks Submarine! Submarine had the keys inhis hand, but they went flying into the crowd! The cage door is locked for good now! HORNET: Look out from behind! Oh no! Battleship just hammered Adler from behind! He's holding him while Submarine kicks away at that bad knee! This can't happen! SMITH: Battleship whips Adler off the ropes, and does the same to Submarine! Oh my! Super Torpedo right on Adler's injured knee! That could have blown that knee out for good! GUNS is back up and he's heading for the side of the cage to begin his climb! He's going to steal this match! HORNET: Not if I have anything to say about it! SMITH: Oh my! Hornet has left the broadcast table and has climbed the cage from the outside and meets GUNS at the top! These two are going toe to toe fifteen feet above the ring! Meanwhile, Battleship and Submarine just delivered a Spike Battle Plex to Tom Adler! Battleship has climbed to the top of the cage and Submarine is on the top rope! They're going for a Super Atomic Bomb from the top of the cage! If they hit this, it will be the end of Tom Adler! Here it comes! No! Adler got out of the way! Battleship hit nothing but the mat! He's out cold! Meanwhile, GUNS has knocked Hornet down to the arena floor and is beginning his descent! Submarine comes off the top rope, but Adler catches him with a blow to the midsection! He shoves Submarine into the ropes and has tied him up between the top and middle ropes! Now Adler begins an unmolested climb out of the cage! GUNS is almost to the floor, but Hornet is back to his feet and he sets himself underneath GUNS! He has GUNS on his shoulders! GUNS can't get his feet to the floor! On the other side of the ring, Adler drops down! It's over! Tom Adler has won this match! Listen to this place erupt! Hornet places GUNS down and they brawl back to the locker room! As if this feud needed any more fuel on the fire! We'll be right back! SMITH: Well, Tom Adler has retained the AAWC Universal title and has taken the EN title away from GUNS! It will be interesting to see what CS Enterprises has to say about this victory and the state of the EN title! Will Adler keep it?
