Welcome to Saturday Night Slam Masters!
On the heels of a helacious Monday Night Massacre,
a sold out crowd at Texas A&M University has converged to see the stars
of the SMWA put it on the line like only they can. And do we have
a show tonight.
We will see the SMWA TV debut of "Fly Guy" Wally
B as he takes on the equally obnoxious California Kid.
In a rematch from New Year's Smash, the new Fuerza
Dragon takes on the Philadelphia X-Treme Machine.
Two members of the Baki Mono make their tag team
debut, as the Dark Storm of Rajin and Fujin face off against the recently
booted Naga Yajito and his partner BC-2000.
New Cruiserweight Champion Lantern makes his
first Title defence against former champion Rokuru!
Two powerhouses collide as "Jackhammer" Andrew
Marshall and "Big Oz" Grant Redstone lock horns. In the meantime,
Marshall's partner, Rod Emerson, tries his hand against the Flying Scotsman
as he goes for the Toughman Title.
New Major Force member and TV Champ Kodiak Marmoset
will face off against one half of the Tag Team Champions, Hamish Mactavish.
We will have yet another Luck of the Draw match,
which could feature anybody in the SMWA against each other.
Our main event is nothing short of enormous...
honestly! It's going to be seven foot seven "Titan" Tim Redbury against
the now solo Green Monster, Doomsday!
Let's get to the ring.
"Fly Guy" Wally B vs The California Kid
Well, after getting his beating the three hundred
plus pound Judgement on Friday after getting his ass handed to him on Friday
afternoon, the Fly Guy from Omaha was ready to "bust da chops with funky
fresh phatness". But could he survive the awesome crash of the surf?
Could he take down the California Kid.
Well, you can't make every match an epic.
Both men came down to a smattering of "You Are
Annoying" type boos, but neither man seemed to car. Wally did the
running man. The Kid kept telling everybody to hang ten. These
two were having fun. At least two wrestlers were.
Finally, the timekeeper got impatient with these
two. The bell rang...
Rather than wrestle, these two decided that it
would be more fun to dance. Wally starting sticking his elbows out
while doing something with his elbows (I can't describe it) and then he
gave the Kid his turn. The Kid decided to do a little bit of thrashing
and finished off with a limbo move. Wally laughed and laughed.
The Kid didn't appreciate that and shoved Wally down to the mat.
Good, they were going to fight.
These two engaged in a brawl (if you can call
it that) and Cal landed the first big move, a hurricanrana. Wally
got up and was nailed by a flying forearm that took him outside.
While Wally was outside, the Kid started mocking
him. He began to do the running man and, when Wally saw... he was
somewhat impressed! Wally started clapping and chanting "A'ight,
a'ight!" He climbed into the ring and the two locked up again.
Wally took Cal down with a dropkick and then a flying headscissors.
Cal rolled outside, and then Wally began to thrash a little bit.
Cal responded with an overwhelmingly positive "Dude!" Then Wally
gave the Hang Ten sign and yelled "Rock On!"
Rock On? Cal wasn't impressed at all.
He climbed into the ring and began to pound on Wally. Wally turned
it around and the brawl continued.
In spite of all of their silly antics throughout
the match, Wally and Cal put on a decent match. They are both a couple
of speedy kids and that certainly added to it. Cal took the edge
when he locked Wally in the California Deathlock, a kneebar variation,
but Wally lasted a full minute before Cal let go.
Wally had his moments, too. He had Cal
locked in a sleeper for a minute before Cal broke it with a jawbreaker.
These two weren't doing bad for themselves.
Finally, the match ending mistake. Wally
had taken Cal down with a bodyslam and scaled the ropes, going for the
Flying Fly Guy. Cal ducked and, when Wally got up, Cal nailed him
with a Tombstone. One more time, the Kid locked on the California
Deathlock. This time, Wally didn't get out. His exact words
upon giving up? "Surf's up, hommie. Dat be it!"
The California Kid made Wally B submit to the
California Deathlock in 0:13:12.
Rating: *** 1/4
The Kid got up and looked down at Wally.
He walked over to him and helped him up in a little display of surfer sportsmanship.
Surprisingly, the Fly Guy kept calm as well and didn't attack Cal.
The two looked at each other for a second before Wally left the ring, dancing
all the way to the back. Cal gave the crowd the Hang Ten sign.
Not a bad match, but those two are trying too
hard. They're not quite hip.
We took a commercial and came back to find Nick
Jones backstage.
Jones: Fans, welcome to another edition of Saturday Night Slam Masters. We are sold out here at Texas A&M, and our main event is going to feature this man, Doomsday, against Tim Redbury. Now, Doomsday, I guess the question on everybody's mind is why did you attack Extinct...
Doomsday snatched the mic away from Nick Jones. He didn't want to waste time.
Doomsday: QUIET! You'd like to know WHY? One reason, Jones. MONEY! Extinct wasn't paying me enough to do what he wanted. As of Friday, our contract ended. Now, consider me a free agent. The price is right, you've got your man, and your foes will feel... THE ARMAGEDDON!!! Titan? I'll do him for free.
With that, Doomsday tossed the mic aside and left Jones behind.
Jones: Well, fans, there you have it. Doomsday, the Green Monster, is now a free agent. It'll be interesting to see who acquires his services first. Back to the ring...
"Big Oz" Grant Redstone vs "Jackhammer" Andrew Marshall
This match is going to be nothing but pure power
and high impact between two great young SMWA stars.
Redstone is coming off an impressive loss to
former World Champion Ghost at Smashed Up!, while Marshall is a recently
deposed War Champion, and it looks like he could be headed towards another
feud with his old foe, Ron Grayson.
Footnote this match. These two could be
facing off against each other a lot in the future.
It didn't take long for these two to start brawling.
Both men can wrestle, but they're fighters at heart. Marshall drew
first blood with a vicious DDT and managed to use his slight advantage
in speed to control the slower Redstone. However, this speed only
worked for Marshall so long. Redstone finally caught him with a clubbing
right hand that sent Jackhammer to the apron. Redstone tried to suplex
Marshall back in, but Marshall blocked it. He then tried to suplex
Redstone outside, but Redstone blocked that one. Finally, Redstone
lifted Marshall up and put him down with a slingshot suplex. Redstone
then did his usual - suplex after suplex.
Marshall was clutching his face after a
front vertical suplex, and Redstone didn't waste any time following up.
He slugged Marshall in the face a couple of times before dropping him with
an Aztecan suplex. Redstone then synched Marshall up for a Soviet
suplex, but Marshall elbowed his way out. He then countered with
a Soviet suplex of his own but, just for fun, he modified it slightly and
turned it into a backbreaker. Again, Marshall used his edge in speed
and science to keep Redstone off balance. He floored him with a series
of Japanese armdrags before planting him with a piledriver. A cover
gave Marshall a two count.
Marshall was able to keep control a while longer
until Redstone countered a full nelson attempt with one of his own.
Redstone got behind Marshall, locked him in a full nelson and then dropped
him with a Dragon suplex. Redstone went on another tear, nearly getting
the fall with a Tiger suplex, but it was to no avail. He then synched
Marshall up for the dreaded Redstone suplex.
Marshall's arm wasn't gripped firmly enough and
he managed to break free. Quickly, he used his reverse clothesline
and took Redstone down. Big Oz was stunned and ready to go down.
Marshall grabbed him around the waist and hit a big German suplex.
He then gave the signal to the crowd. Marshall picked Redstone up
on his shoulder, ran forward and then dropped him on his face!
De-Facer! It was all elementary at that
point.
Andrew Marshall pinned Grant Redstone with
the De-Facer in 0:11:10.
Rating: *** 1/2
A good encounter between these men and, really,
it could have gone either way. These two are going to be stars of
the future. Today was a good start.
We went to a commercial and came back for a reckoning.
Dark Storm w/ Zists vs BC-2000 & Naga Yajito
This Monday, Naga Yajito had a falling out with
the newly formed Baki Mono when his interference ended up costing Fujin
a match against Oni. Now, it's Naga against Fujin and Raijin, the
Dark Storm.
And we have to ask... Who did BC-2000 piss off
to
get this job? Fujin himself looked devastating on Monday, and if
Raijin is even the slightest bit like him...
Raijin and Fujin came to the ring amidst gusts
of wind and blasts of thunder. Naga came to the ring with a luchador
who really wasn't sure why he was there in the first place.
Wanna take bets? Naga and Fujin would start
it off. I think I'll put my money on the guy with the powers of a
God.
The bell rang...
The speed of Dark Storm was absolutely incredible,
and Naga seemed to have no chance from the get go. Raijin and Fujin
nailed Naga with a bevy of martial arts moves, both individually and together,
and Naga was going down fast. Naga's only productive offensive move
came when he caught one of Raijin's kicks and countered with a Dragon screw.
Unfortunately, Raijin got right back up and took Naga down with a spinebuster
slam.
Naga was hurting badly and, not wanting to lose,
BC-2000 stormed the ring. He nailed both Baki Mono with spinning
heel kicks and floored them both with dropkicks, proving he could be as
fast as them if nothing else. Unfortunately, Dark Storm wasn't interested
in attacking BC-2000. They merely took him out with a double thrust
kick, and that was the last we saw of him for this match.
When Dark Storm nailed Naga with a double Yakuza
kick, it became very obvious that they could finish this whenever they
wanted. They were simply toying with Naga. Finally, they put
a merciful end to the beating. Raijin bounced off of the ropes while
Fujin had Naga in a waistlock. Raijin nearly knocked Naga's head
off with a kick and, in one motion, Fujin cradled him for the pin.
Good night, Naga.
Dark Storm (Fujin and Raijin) defeated BC-2000 and Naga Yajito
when Fujin pinned Yajito after a backflip cradle in 0:06:26.
Rating: ** 1/2
Fortunately, for Naga, Dark Storm seemed content
simply with the victory. Why wouldn't they have finished him off,
though? They had the chance. Not that an angry Naga bent on
revenge could do much, but...
Well, Dark Storm looks to be a tag team force
already. If they want to go for the tag team titles, who will stop
them?
Speaking of not stopping, the Kodiak Express
rides once again, this time with Kodiak Marmoset holding the SMWA Television
Title. He was about to make his first Title defence tonight....
SMWA Television
Title Match
Kodiak Marmoset
(C) w/ Saul Masters
vs
Hamish MacTavish
w/ Angus Wallace
You kind of get the feeling that, sometimes, Kodiak
resented being the Cruiserweight Champion for so long. Before the
Clone incident, he was so unbelievable dominant that Title defenses became
simply routine. Really, maybe losing the belt was the best thing
that could happen to him. Now, as TV Champ and the newest member
of Major Force, Kodiak Marmoset gets to try his hand at the big boys.
And they don't get much bigger than the four hundred pound Hamish Mactavish.
Hamish is a bully who likes to push around guys
like Kodiak. Kodiak doesn't like to be pushed around.
Neither man was really a favourite here.
Major Force is universally hated while Highland Hell gets quite a few boos
as well. Still, the crowd would be pulling for Hamish to make Kodiak
the loser once more.
Kodiak didn't waste any time trying to wrestle
Hamish. Instead, he went right at him and started brawling with the
Highland Giant. Hamish was able to take most of the blows, but Kodiak
kept on pushing. It looked like he was going to do some damage before
Hamish decided enough was enough. He took one of his hands and grabbed
Kodiak's skull, locking him in a painful clawhold. Kodiak buckled
to the mat/
Hamish is a bully and that's just what he did
to Kodiak. Kodiak was rocked with various power bombs and Hamish
really didn't try to make a cover. He seemed quite content with just
pounding on the TV Champ and hurting him as much as possible before picking
up the win. Hamish scooped Kodiak up like a doll and then powerslammed
him to the mat. Instead of pinning him, Hamish just picked Kodiak
up once more and nailed him with a Gorilla press.
Kodiak wasn't even close to being finished, though.
Hamish picked him up and received several kicks to the midsection.
With Hamish doubled over, Kodiak used a beautiful rana to take Hamish to
the mat. Hamish was stunned and Kodiak took control. He varied
some punches and kicks with some good wrestling techniques and kept Hamish
from mounting any sort of attack. The action spilled outside, where
Kodiak set Hamish up on a table. Kodiak climbed onto the apron and
dove off with a flying elbowdrop.
Hamish moved, and Kodiak went crashing through
the table. Hamish rolled back inside and got the ref's attention
while Angus went to work on Kodiak. Saul Masters got near and cracked
his whip near Angus, who backed off. Still, Kodiak wasn't doing so
good. He got into the ring and foolishly tried to use a high cross
body on Hamish. Hamish countered with a big powerslam.
At ringside, Masters and Angus were still jawing
with one another. Suddenly, Masters bumped into somebody from behind.
The Flying Scotsman!
The Scotsman had come to ringside to even up
the odds. But before either Highland Hell member could do a thing,
Alexander "The Grater" and Skarzz were on them. A big brawl had erupted
at ringside.
Meanwhile, back in the ring, Hamish was working
Kodiak in the corner. Hamish backed up and went for an avalanche,
but Kodiak moved out of the way. While Hamish was stunned in the
corner, Kodiak nailed him with a guillotine drop and then gave the signal
for the Finisher! With a great deal of extension, Kodiak got his
boot under Hamish's chin and made the cover. That was all she wrote.
Kodiak Marmoset pinned Hamish MacTavish with
the Finisher in 0:12:32.
Rating: ** 3/4
(Kodiak Marmoset retained the SMWA Television
Title.)
In the meantime, the brawl outside continued.
Angus and the Scotsman did their best to take it to Skarzz and Grater,
but not only were they overmatched, they were outnumbered. Masters
jammed the butt end of his whip into Angus' ribs, allowing Grater to drop
him with a chair shot, while Kodiak helped Skarzz with the Scotsman - not
that Skarzz needed it. Kodiak grabbed his TV Title and Major Force
left Highland Hell laying.
These guys mean business.
We went to commercial and returned to a rematch
from last show.
"Bonecracker" Martin Riley vs Lovechild
Riley's shown us quite a lot of talent, but he has yet to show us a win. Lovechild had a great night on the last Saturday Night Slam Masters. Not only did he defeat Cody Simmons in a shocker, but he also got past Riley. Let's see how Martin does with round two.
Both of these gifted mat wrestlers took to working
the legs early. Apparently, they had gone into the match with the
same strategy. However, it was after a prolonged attack by Lovechild
that we reached a turning point. Lovechild started to grind and thrust
his hips, and Riley took none too kindly to it. He showed us his
brawling side, taking the fight right to Lovechild with a series of vicious
European uppercuts before snaring Lovechild in a dragon suplex for a near
fall.
This was the most explosive the match got.
The rest of it was a technical clinic, but the fans seemed almost out of
it, except for the times when Lovechild would give a little thrust.
Finally, Lovechild reversed a belly-to-back suplex with one of his own
and locked on the Love Hug. Riley fought it off as best as he could,
but he couldn't fight it forever.
Lovechild made Martin Riley submit to the Love
Hug in 0:12:41.
Rating: * 3/4
Another good effort by the kid, but he still has
a long way to go.
After another set of commercials, we returned
for what could be a great Cruiserweight Title match.
SMWA Cruiserweight
Title Match
Lantern
(C) vs Rokuru
The Teddy Bear of Destruction against Mexico's
Shining Light. Rokuru held the Cruiserweight Title for about a week
and many have complained that he never really got a fair shake at a rematch.
Lantern was the surprise winner at New Year's Smash, besting Johnny Proton
in a shocking match.
These two have a history overseas and made their
SMWA debut against one another late in 1997. They are both familiar
with one another and each man knows what to expect. And as bizarre
as both of them are (Rokuru talks to a Teddy, while Lantern's outfit has
to be seen to believed), they are both accomplished mat pros.
This should be a good one.
The bell rang...
After a brief feeling out process, Rokuru managed
to take control, working on the knees of Lantern. Rokuru can be incredibly
dominant when he keeps his focus and, for the first four minutes of this
contest, Rokuru didn't once talk to Teddy at ringside. He controlled
Lantern with a series of leglocks before turning his world around (literally)
with a Giant Swing! After he dropped Lantern, he hooked him in a
bow and arrow submission. Mexico's Shining Light was getting dominated!
Lantern was finally able to get the advantage
when a top-rope Frankensteiner from Rokuru misfired. Lantern came
off of the top ropes with a flying bulldog and scored a two count.
Lantern used a series of leg lariats, dropkicks and other flying moves,
and it looked like he'd be on his way to a victory. With Rokuru down,
Lantern signalled the Light Beam!
Rokuru got up and nailed Lantern with a vicious
Yakuza kick to the back of the head. Lantern stumbled into the ropes
and then fell back towards Rokuru, who turned him around and hit the Roku
Driver! Rokuru went for the pin!
1...
2...
3!!! Whoa!!!
Rokuru pinned Lantern with the Roku Driver
in 0:07:05.
Rating: ***
(Rokuru won the SMWA Cruiserweight Title.)
Rokuru was a two-time Cruiserweight Champion!
Amazing! He grabbed the belt and, once again, wrapped it around his
friend Teddy. This was as much for Teddy as it was for Rokuru!
A stunned but happy crowd cheered their Teddy Bear as he held Teddy and
the Belt high overhead! Victory was his!
Wow. That Cruiserweight Title is bouncing
around like a hot potato. Wonder how long Rokuru will be able to
hold on to it?
After a commercial, we went backstage to find
Nick Jones.
Jones: Fans, you just saw it. Right here on Saturday Night Slam Masters, we crowned a new Cruiserweight Champion, and that man is Rokuru. Truly, truly amazing. Right now, though, I'd like to bring in the man who held that Title longer than anybody else, the Current TV Champion, Kodiak Marmoset. Kodiak, what do you think about Rokuru's Title win?
Kodiak: I think I'm glad to be through with that division.
Jones: Okay, fair enough. Now, I know the question that's been on the minds of a lot of people since last Friday is "Why?" Why did you join Major Force.
Kodiak: Jones, I've got a lot of reasons for joining Major Force, and I'm not telling you most of them. I'll say this much, though. Major Force is a place for winners, and that's what I am, a winner. It was a natural place for me to be.
Jones: That's all?
Kodiak: You know what, Jones? No. That's not all. But my other reasons are my reasons and I don't need to share them with you. Let's just say that Saul Masters is a man who makes good on all of his promises, and what he promised me means more than any title, any win or anything else. I don't doubt he can do it.
Jones: Alright, then, let's talk about that big win at New Year's Smash. A lot of people thought that your win over Clone was tainted because of Major Force's....
Kodiak: You can just shut up right now! Tainted? I had Clone exactly where I wanted him. I called in Major Force to teach that copycat son-of-a-bitch a lesson, and that lesson is that you don't go and mess with the Express. I hear Clone's still in the hospital. Poor, poor, poor guy. I feel for him, I really do. I'm not without compassion, Jones. I wish Clone wasn't in the hospital. I wish he was dead. And right now, he probably wishes it, too. And Jones, don't you ever question a win of mine again, because everybody who messes with the Kodiak Express is going to end with a Big V for me! The Express rolls again!
Jones: Kodiak Marmoset, ladies and gentlemen. Let's get back to the ring.
The Philadelphia X-Treme Machine vs Fuerza Dragon
Two shocks for the PXM at New Year's Smash.
One was The Actor debuting as Dragon de Actor to form the new Fuerza Dragon.
The second surprise was the count out loss. Tonight, the PXM would
have a chance for revenge.
It should be noted that, after a humiliating
loss, the PXM comes out hard and fast and tries to end the match within
the first five minutes. If Fuerza Dragon can withstand those first
five minutes, they stand a good chance of winning this thing. It
would also be interesting to see how well Actor and Fuego are working together
at this point.
The match started with Fuego and Burnz and, soon
enough, the PXM were trying to put an end to it with a vicious double team
assault. A timely tag to Actor saved Fuego from a beating... which
Actor ended up taking. Actor didn't take it as badly as Fuego did,
though, and managed to floor Battle with a diving elbow smash. Battle
got up and was nailed with a German suplex.
1...
2...
NO!!! Wow, that was close! The Actor
was undeterred, though, and pressed his assault, smearing Battle with a
somersault legdrop before tagging in Fuego. Fuerza Dragon kept up
the double team attack and it looked like Battle would go down until, out
of nowhere, he caught Fuego and planted him with the Post Breaker!
Battle made the cover.
1...
2...
ACTOR BREAKS THE PIN!!! This match was
going at an incredible rate in the early going, and it didn't stop for
the rest of the encounter. Fuerza Dragon used speed and surprise
to their advantage, while the PXM used brutality. Surprisingly, it
made for an even match.
The end came in a four man brawl. Actor
was holding Burnz open for a kick from Fuego. Battle clobbered Fuego
from behind and then went to kick... BURNZ!!!
No! It was a PXM trick! Burnz ducked
and the Actor took it right in the mush. Battle made the cover, and
that was it!
The Philadelphia X-Treme Machine (Crash Burnz and Slash Battle) defeated Fuerza
Dragon (Dragon de Fuego and Dragon de Actor)
when Slash pinned Actor after a kick to the head in 0:19:46.

It wasn't a PPV win, but it was a win nonetheless.
It was revenge.
We took a commercial and returned to our SMWA
Toughman Match.
SWMA Toughman
Title Bout
The Flying
Scotsman (C) vs "Iron" Rod Emerson
Well, the Flying Scotsman has been nothing if
not unstoppable in these Toughman affairs. Rod Emerson, though, has
more of a reason than anybody to stay up.
Months ago, it was The Flying Scotsman and Highland
Hell who ended the career of Emerson's tag team partner, Peter McKee, in
a brutal post-match assault. Since then, Emerson has looked for revenge
but, admittedly, it has been hard to come by. The Highlanders are
such a dominant force and they are all very tough to beat.
Tonight, Emerson was going to step into the Scotsman's
element. It's a move that could be suicidal. Or it could be
brilliant. Taking down Scots in his kind of match would definitely
be a sort of revenge.
The gloves were on and both fighters stood ready.
The bell rang...
Round 1
Rather
than come out swinging, the Scotsman opted to try and grapple with Emerson
early on and managed to take him down a couple of times. One time,
after a double leg hook, Scots nailed Emerson with a right cross that put
Iron Rod down, but only for a matter of seconds. Emerson got back
up and managed to use some takedowns of his own to rack up a few points
before the Scotsman used an uppercut to put Emerson down again. Again,
though, Emerson was only down for a few seconds. Still, he'd have
to stay vertical to get out of round one.
Scots decided to try and
finish Emerson, coming at him with a flurry of jabs. Emerson side
stepped and caught the Scotsman under the chin with a left hook.
SCOTSMAN WENT DOWN!!!
1... 2... 3.... He
was back up!
Still, the crowd exploded.
Emerson then tackled the Scotsman and his knee bent oddly underneath him.
Scots was slow to get up, and the bell rang.
Rod Emerson had survived
one round! And it looked like he had hurt Scotsman's leg!
Round 2
Scots didn't waste any
time here. Emerson charged at him, perhaps over eager, and Scots
took him down with a cross. Emerson got up again and was put down again.
Finally, an uppercut took Emerson down for the final time. He wasn't
knocked down, but the three TKO rule ended the match.
SMWA Toughman Match:
The Flying Scotsman defeated Rod Emerson via
second-round technical knockout at the 00:14 mark.

Championship.)

SMWA Luck of the Draw Match
Every once in a while, you get a stinker of a
match. When the first name was called, that was almost assured.
Mauling Bear, the same
man who was humiliated by the Scotsman at New Year's Smash and lost to
the Dark Brand on Monday, would be one of the two combatants. Who
would his opponent be?
Time to surf again!
The California Kid made
his way down to the ring, and people were none too happy about it.
The Kid is talented, but he just bugs the living crap out of people.
Plus, he would have to be the one to carry this match.
Pretty simple match, really. Bear dominated most of it until the Kid managed to take out his legs. Bear used his power, Kid used his speed and, in the end, used the California Deathlock to finish the match off.

Damn these two for keeping us from our...
Main Event
Doomsday
vs
"Titan"
Tim Redbury
******** Cue Ring Announcer ********
RA: Ladies and Gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for one fall.
******** KABOOM
********
******** Cue
Doomsday's Music *******
RA: Introducing first... From the Ashes of the Armageddon... Weighing in at four hundred pounds... DOOMSDAY!!!
Well, Doomsday's still not popular, but he got a few cheers from our crowd. When you beat the crap out of one of the most evil, maniacal and mean managers to ever set foot in the SMWA, that sort of thing happens. Some people will like you. Not all of the people, though. Especially not when your opponent is...
******** Cue "Titan" Tim's Music *******
RA: And his opponent... From London, England... Standing seven feet, seven inches and weighing in at four hundred and forty pounds.... "TITAN" TIM REDBURY!!!
The winner of the SMWA Award for Excellence came down to a flurry of cheers. Titan does what he says and says what he does. He's a man who doesn't put up with funny business, a hardcore giant that the fans have come to love. And he's one of the few true leaders in the SMWA. A lot of people love Titan Tim.
Well, we had nearly a thousand
pounds of humanity in that ring. Two powerful, powerful men who both
have something in common. They both broke away from coniving managers.
Titan got free from Terry Sky, while Doomsday obliterated Extinct days
ago. These two are also quite talented for big men and, though not
incredibly fast, can move well enough to not make a match dull. This
should be an interesting match.
The bell rang....
The two men met in the middle
of the ring to start things off. It's not often that Doomsday has
to look over one foot up at an opponent, but he was doing it here.
Titan has him by one foot and one inch and is probably every bit as powerful.
Doomsday shoved Titan and then Titan returned the favour. Doomsday
hit the ground.
Doomsday was recently beaten
by the taller Skarzz. Would history repeat itself here?
Titan started things off
by wrestling, something he can do surprisingly well for a man of his size.
Doomsday had trouble escaping several of Titan's holds and Titan took full
advantage of this. He didn't want to brawl with Doomsday, because
that would be a battle he might not win. Titan got Doomsday into
a Russian legsweep and took him down, following up with a splash.
Still, though, Doomsday proved his toughness. He kicked out early.
A brawl did ensue between
these two, and Doomsday took the edge in that one by simply tripping Titan
up and wrapping his hands around his throat. Titan was sputtering
on the mat, Doomsday trying to take the wind right out of him. He
was doing a fairly good job. He picked Titan up and, with his incredible
strength, bodyslammed him to the ground. Doomsday followed up with
a series of spinning elbowdrops and then squashed Titan with a senton.
The lights in the arena
suddenly got dimmer. A shadowy figure emerged from the back...
The Dark Brand? What
was he doing here?
Doomsday tossed Titan into
the corner and went for an avalanche. Titan floored Doomsday with
a big boot to the face and signalled for the Claw Slam. Doomsday
delivered a vicious low blow that put Titan on the ropes.
The Dark Brand reached
into his coat and pulled out his metal glove as Doomsday was admonished
by the referee. He jumped onto the apron and nailed Titan with
a back fist to the side of the jaw! Titan crumbled to the mat as
the metal hit his face. The Brand jumped off of the apron and ran
into the back.
Doomsday wasn't any sort
of a fool. He picked up Titan and smoked him with the Armageddon!
It was all elementary from there.
Doomsday pinned Titan Tim Redbury with the
Armageddon in 0:07:48.

Doomsday had just beaten Titan Tim, but Titan
was very obviously cost that match by the Brand! Why, though?
What possible reason could Dark Brand have for attacking Titan Tim?
Hopefully, we'll find out sooner than later.
