January 9th, 1999
From the G. Rolie White Coliseum, Texas A&M University
It's Saturday Night!  Do you know where YOUR action is?

    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.

(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)

    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.

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.
