We've tweaked the look a bit, but the excitement
remains the same.
Welcome to THE place to be on Saturday Night.
Welcome to Saturday Night Slam Masters!
An intimate, sold out crowd of over six thousand
at Seattle's Mercer Arena was ready for a great night of action.
The bright lights and big arenas are great, but there's nothing more exciting
than over six thousand fans in a small space cheering on their favourite
wrestlers.
On the heels of a truly insane Monday Night Massacre,
we have quite the show.
In tag team action, The Air Raiders face Fuerza
Dragon in what should be a high-flying masterpiece.
The Dark Brand is in action once more, taking
on Blackhook. Will he address Titan Tim's response from Monday Night?
Teioh takes on his former vassal, Naga Yajito.
In a big rematch from last week, Clone takes
on Grant Redstone.
Ghost takes on an old foe, one half of the Philadelphia
X-Treme Machine, Slash Battle.
Kodiak Marmoset defends the TV Title against
perennial TV Title contender, Nord Fullstrom.
The Agent of the Apocalypse, Doomsday, takes
on Highland Hell's Angus Wallace.
The Saturday Night Tradition continues with another
Luck of the Draw Match.
And, in our Main Event, Simply the Best, straight
off of their Tony (B) award winning performance at Monday Night Massacre,
take on the combination of Steelworks and West Bronco in six man action.
Nick Jones is backstage, Tony B and Johnny Lee
are on the mics at ringside, and we are on our way to our first match.
The Air Raiders vs Fuerza Dragon
Two of the most amazing teams in wrestling.
Four of the quickest men in the SMWA. This one would be good.
Ultimate Spider and El Stingray, giving up a
four hundred pound weight advantage, were almost able to dethrone then
World Tag Team Champs Highland Hell for the Tag Team Titles at New Year's
Smash. They'll have another shot at the Titles on Monday Night against
Skarzz and Alexander "The Grater". The Air Raiders will never overpower
anybody, but they'll out dazzle any team out there and, usually, sneak
away with a win.
Fuerza Dragon received somewhat of a shot in
the arm when The Actor came in as an "understudy" to Dragon de Hielo, who
has left the SMWA. They won at New Year's Smash and have looked good
in matches since. With some time, this team could become... Well,
they could become the next Air Raiders.
This would be a match to watch.
Spider started off against the Actor but
the one on one matchup didn't last long. Stingray and Spider began
a little bit of double teaming and Actor couldn't quite handle it.
Double legsweeps, double dropkicks and several top rope combo moves had
Actor reeling. Spider planted him with a DDT and went for a cover.
Fuego rushed in to save his partner.
Spider got up to confront Fuego. Actor
nailed him from behind with a savate kick. Spider stumbled forward
into a Fuego superkick. Advantage, Dragons.
Fuego and Actor managed to keep Spider away from
Stingray for a few minutes before Spider once again gained the advantage.
He knocked Actor over the top ropes with a superkick and then backdropped
Fuego onto Actor. Spider called in Stingray and both men bounced
off of the ropes and dove over the ropes, Stingray using a no hands flip
plancha, while Spider connected with his Flying Tarantula.
The dives had taken a lot out of both teams.
Stingray and Spider got up first, but Fuerza Dragon prevented them from
getting into the ring. The match continued outside.
Until the referee counted them out.
Fuerza Dragon and The Air Raiders battled to
a double countout in 0:05:36.
Rating: * 3/4
Both teams heard the bell and realized what had
just happened. Actor went in to protest, but he got nowhere.
We had a double countout to open up the show.
Too bad. That match could have gone somewhere.
After a commercial, Nick Jones was backstage
for his first interview of the night.
Jones: Hello, fans. This is Nick Jones welcoming you to another edition of Monday Night Massacre. I don't have a hotline to plug, so I'm going to go right to my interview. Wally B, if you could come in here, please.
B: S'up?
Jones: Well, you tell me. This Monday on Massacre, attacked Martin Riley after he had picked up a win over The California Kid. And last Saturday, the Kid saved you from the Riley Ride. It looks like you and the Kid might be involved somehow.
B: A'ight, it breaks down like dis. Me and Cal-Dog, we tight, a'ight. We had de problems, ya know, 'cause went and got it on, but we get along, know what I'm saying?
Jones: You're saying you get along.
B: Yeah, dat be it! You dere, you know.
Jones: So can we expect you two to start teaming soon?
B: It aint inpossilbe, Jones. We see.
Jones: Well, thank you, Wally...
B: Yo yo yo yo yo, hold up. 'Fore I go, I just wanna give a shout out to tha boys in Omaha, yo peace out!
Jones: Wally B, folks. Let's get to the ring.
Lovechild vs "Fly Guy" Wally B
Wally B. He's pretty fly for a white guy.
That pretty much says it all.
Lovechild isn't fly, but he is a damn good wrestler
and he definitely likes to show us just how masculine he is.
These two are a couple of characters. They're
also pretty talented, too. Wally's proven that he can take to the
air par excellence, while Lovechild has shown time and time again that
he is a consummate mat pro. Lovechild's been on a roll as of late.
Wally B has struggled since winning at Smashed Up!. He would have
a lot to gain from this match.
We had one guy come to the ring and start doing
the running man. The other guy thrust his hips at anything
with breasts.
This would be interesting...
Wally locked on a sleeperhold very early in the
match and managed to keep it on. Lovechild couldn't fight his way
out and looked to be going out before he reached the ropes. In other
words, Wally had a big advantage very early. He was mostly content
just to pound on Lovechild but he added in a couple of more exciting moves
here and there, such as a Tiger driver and a textbook flying cross body
press for a near fall. Wally was outspeeding Lovechild and LC couldn't
do a thing about it. Until Wally went for a rana and found himself
driven to the mat with a power bomb.
Lovechild began tying Wally in knots. Much
to the Kid's credit, he held tough and didn't give in to Lovechild's submission
offence. After a few minutes of torturing Wally, Lovechild picked
him up and planted him with a running powerslam. A cover resulted
in a two count. Lovechild continued with more high impact moves,
such as a Dragon suplex and a big backbreaker, but Wally kept kicking out.
The crowd's focus shift from the ring as somebody
was coming down the aisle. Somebody hold a big surfboard.
Here came the California Kid.
Lovechild saw the Kid and his surfboard and was
distracted from the task at hand. He started jawing with the Kid
and that gave Wally his opportunity. While Lovechild had his back
turned, Wally floored him with a bulldog. Advantage, Fly Guy.
Wally kept pounding on Lovechild, trying to soften
him up for a pin attempt. Lovechild wasn't in the mood to be softened.
He fought back with a series of elbows until he dropped Wally with a power
bomb. Lovechild then grabbed Wally and hooked him in the Love Hug.
The Kid jumped onto the apron. Lovechild
broke the hold and shoved the Kid off. Wally charged at him from
behind, but Lovechild was ready, planting a back elbow into the mush.
Wally hit the ground and Lovechild used the ropes to get the win.
Lovechild pinned Wally B after an elbowsmash
in 0:12:32.
Rating: ** 1/4
Wally put up a good fight, and Cal had the right
idea, but these two have to work on their communication. Lovechild
picks up another one.
Next up, it was time for a little mystery.
Blackhook vs The Dark Brand
This Monday, Titan addressed the Dark Brand in
a recorded message. He used the name "Joseph". Is that the
Brand? Does Titan know him? And if so, what's the problem between
the two?
Brand has been impressive since his arrival in
the SMWA, going undefeated so far against the mid-carders. Blackhook
has always had a lot talent, but he's just never been able to channel it
in a productive way. Could he find the way tonight against the Brand?
We'll find out next.
This match quickly spilled outside, where Brand
took advantage. He took Hook into the rail several times before flooring
him with an inverted atomic drop and a double leg hook. As Blackhook
got up, The Brand climbed to the middle rope and delivered an Asai moonsault.
Blackhook was rolled back into the ring.
Blackhook was nailed with everything. DDT,
Tiger suplex, Rocker Dropper... Blackhook wasn't letting up and it looked
like it would be all over when he set Blackhook up in the corner for the
Nightfall. Blackhook still had something left, though, and tossed
Brand away. When the Brand got up, Blackhook took him down with a
lariat.
'Hook didn't want to waste a chance at a win
and took it right to Brand, dominating him as no others have been able
to thus far. Hook brawled around Brand and then wore him down with
a Cobra Clutch. Brand had a horrible time trying to break the hold,
but he eventually made it to the ropes. Blackhook wasn't deterred,
though. He kept it going and eventually snared Brand in the Bounty
Taker! Brand was nearly pinned right there.
Blackhook stayed at it and tried to nail Brand
with a splash. Brand moved and 'Hook hit hard. Brand nailed
him with a series of elbowdrops before he could regain his footing.
The rest of the match was the Brand's to win.
Blackhook had some good flurries of offence, but it looked like Brand would
take it. Until he missed a plancha outside! Blackhook, knowing
this could be his last chance at a win, took Brand back inside. He
began hitting him with lariat after lariat, hoping to soften the Brand
up for a win. However, he overdid it on and Brand caught on.
He ducked one of the lariats, caught Blackhook in a crucifix and scored
the win.
The Dark Brand pinned Blackhook after a crucifix
in 0:15:41.
Rating: **
Blackhook was stunned that he had been pinned, but before he could confront the ref about the count, he felt the smack of cold steel across his face. The Brand had just nailed him with a spinning back fist, and we could clearly see the letter "B" imprinted on Blackhook's unconscious face. Brand had another one. He then went outside and grabbed the microphone.
Brand: Monday, Timothy. You shall have my undivided attention.
Well, there you go.
This Monday on Massacre, The Dark Brand and Tim Redbury will sort this
thing out... one way or another.
We took another commercial
and came back for what was more likely to be a slaughter than an actual
match.
"The Lord
of the Shadows" Teioh w/ The Baki Mono
vs
"Shadowfire"
Naga Yajito
When Naga cost Teioh's stablemate, Fujin, a match
against the rogue demon Oni, it did not please the Lord of the Shadows.
Naga received quite the beating that evening. Tonight, he'd probably
get another one.
The lights went off as Teioh came down to the
ring. He motioned to the back. Out came Naga... being helped
to the ring by the Baki Mono.
Helped may be too nice of a word. Forced
is probably more accurate.
Naga was rolled into the ring. He imme diately
knelt before Teioh, begging his forgiveness. Teioh kicked him in
the face.
Let the beating begin.
Quite cruelly, Oni's doppleganger gave Naga a
few free shots after the kick to the face. Teioh either dodged the
blows or took them with no visible effects. Naga tried to escape
from the ring, but the Baki Mono were there to stop him. This was
getting a little scary.
Teioh finally took another shot, a vicious backhand
to Naga's face. The blow bloodied Naga's nose. Naga pleaded
with Teioh to show mercy. Teioh had none. So Naga did what
he had to do. He tackled Teioh and started fighting back.
It was an offensive attack that lasted all of
ten seconds. Teioh was back on top in no time.
Kicks to the head. Nerve holds. Vicious
chops. Naga couldn't do a thing except for wait for Teioh to finish.
When Teioh nailed him with a German suplex, that proved to be it.
For the official match, anyway.
Teioh pinned Naga Yajito after a German suplex
in 0:06:19.
Rating: **
The rest of the Baki Mono climbed into the ring.
Naga was unconscious and bloody in the middle. What were Zists and
Iznami going to have their men do?
Again, we saw a bright blue flash come from the
ceiling. As it was on Monday Night Massacre, three lines of blue
flame sprouted up around Naga Yajito, protecting him from the Baki Mono,
who didn't want to go anywhere near those flames.
There was a flash of light at the entrance way.
It was Oni! Oni was here!
Baki Mono left the ring and pursued Oni, who
disappeared in another flash of light. The arena lights went out,
too, and the Baki Mono was gone.
Naga Yajito lay alone in the ring, still half-conscious
at best. Medical personnel came down to help him to the back.
Oni had just saved Naga. Oni and this blue
flame.
Either Oni has a new power, or we have a new
player. Is it the defender that Oni and the Baki Mono keep talking
about? If not, then who is it?
We took a commercial and returned for a rematch
from last week.
"Big Oz" Grant Redstone vs Clone
They wrestled last week... kind of. Clone
got disqualified just a few seconds in and we didn't end up having a match.
But we ended up having enough bad blood for a rematch.
Both men are powerhouses, and both are definite
contenders for Kodiak Marmoset's TV Title. Redstone is definitely
stronger than Clone and knows more suplexes than Clone will know identities,
but Clone has the more well rounded offence.
Plus, this week, Clone came out dressed up as
Redstone once more. Grant Redclone, if you will. If anybody
knows how to piss off their opponent, it's Clone.
But is Grant Redstone a guy you want to piss
off?
The bell rang.
Redstone didn't waste any time tossing Clone around
with his suplex offence. He wasn't going to give Clone the chance
to brand him with a chair like he did last week. The offence lasted
until Redstone whipped Clone into the ropes. Clone came off with
a flying back elbow that knocked Big Oz out of his socks. Clone picked
Redstone up for another attack, but Redstone wasn't quite ready to be attacked.
He grabbed Clone by the waist and nailed him with a release belly to belly
suplex. Clone was then perched up top and nailed with a superplex.
A Soviet Suplex, and Aztecan suplex. Redstone wasn't playing around.
He picked Clone up for another suplex.
Clone dropped to his knees and nailed Redstone
with a low blow. Before the referee knew what was going on, Clone
was back on his feet as he floored Redstone with a spinning lariat.
Clone varied his offence, trying to keep Redstone
away from any position where he could use a suplex to counter. Clone
hit a Tombstone and followed up with a slingshot legdrop for a two count.
He then whipped Redstone to the ropes.
Redstone came off with a big football tackle
and took Clone off of his feet. He backed up and went for the move
again, but Clone moved and Redstone landed throat first on the middle rope.
Clone went up top and nailed a prone Redstone in the back of the head with
a guillotine legdrop. Redstone snapped back inside and Clone went
to the top rope. He delivered a picture perfect Frog Splash and went
for the cover. Two count.
Redstone couldn't do anything against Clone until
Clone made a mistake. He made a big one when he missed a lariat.
In desperation, Redstone hooked Clone into the Redstone suplex. Clone's
head bounced off of the mat hard, but Redstone was too tired to make the
pin. When he did, it was only a two count.
The match went back and forth for the next few
minutes until Redstone made the mistake and dropped his head. Clone
caught him in a beautiful spinning piledriver. Clone then made Redstone's
signal. Clone picked Redstone up. Clone hit the Redstone Suplex!!!
Grant Redstone was beaten by his own move.
Clone pinned Grant Redstone with the Copycat
Move in 0:11:22.
Rating: ****
Clone had just taken down Big Oz. He could
be in the TV Title hunt fairly soon.
Of course, that would mean going against Kodiak
Marmoset... And Major Force...
Maybe Clone should just lay low.
Speaking of Major Force, Nick Jones was backstage
with Ghost after we came back from a commercial.
Jones: Fans, I'm here with Ghost who's going to be in the ring in mere moments against Philadelphia X-Treme Machine member Slash Battle. Now, Ghost, I'd like to ask you the question that everybody wants to know. Just who is the mysterious sixth member of Major Force?
Ghost looked at Jones, who seemed to honestly think Ghost might give him an answer. Instead, Ghost just forgot about the interview and made his way to the ring.
Ghost vs Slash Battle
In one of Ghost's early feats of dominance, he
defeated both members of the Philadelphia X-Treme Machine at the same time.
Not to be outdone, he went and did it again. So, really, what kind
of chance did a solo Slash Battle have.
The PXM have looked sketchy as a team, going
through one of their infamous cold streaks. Taking some time in singles
action might not have been a bad idea for Battle... if his first opponent
wasn't the man who had already dominated him.
Saul Masters didn't make his way to the ring
with Ghost. In fact, Saul Masters wasn't even here tonight.
Where could he have been? He wouldn't leave his men alone if he didn't
have to. Could it have something to do with this Sixth member of
Major Force?
Who is that sixth member.
Slash Battle didn't walk to the ring like a man
who had his ass handed to him twice by his opponent. Good for him
for acting positive.
The bell rang...
This one didn't take long to get messy.
Within a minute of brawling, Ghost and Battle spilled outside and started
using whatever weapons they could find. Battle, shockingly, took
the edge when he smashed Ghost's face into the guardrail a couple of times.
He then picked Ghost up and smashed his back into the ringpost. Ghost
was rolled back inside and Battle went for a cover. It was way too
early, though, and Ghost got out at one.
Battle continued to pound on Ghost, but Ghost
was up for it. He fought back with a series of knees and then took
Battle down with a backdrop driver. Battle folded like origami and
Ghost had control.
For a while, this resembled the Teioh/Naga Yajito
slaughter. Ghost kept hitting move after move and Battle couldn't
stop him. A power bomb, a spinebuster, several lariats and a flying senton.
Battle, to his credit, kept kicking out, but he was in big trouble.
Ghost dropped him again with a reverse DDT. Two count. Ghost
went up top for a flying cross body press.
Battle, using the strength he could muster, grabbed
Ghost out of mid air and planted him on his knee with a backbreaker.
Battle had some breathing room, but he didn't rest long. He went
right at Ghost, smashing him into the mat with a front suplex. Battle,
pissed off, kept on brawling.
Unfortunately, that didn't work. Ghost
suffered under a lot of the shots, but Battle eventually got too close.
Ghost lifted him up and dropped him with a Northern Lights bomb.
Battle was done right there. But Ghost wasn't. He toyed with
Battle a little more, nailing him with a jumping DDT before putting him
away for good with the Final Breath.
After all, what chance did just one member of
the PXM have?
Ghost pinned Slash Battle with the Final Breath
in 0:07:11.
Rating: **** 1/4
Another dominating win by Ghost. The cold
streak of Crash Burnz and Slash Battle continues. They need something
to spark them back to their glory days.
Major Force wasn't done for the night.
After a commercial, Kodiak had to face the test that all TV Champions had
to face. He had to face Nord Fullstrom.
SMWA Television
Title Match
Kodiak Marmoset
(C) vs Nord Fullstrom
Nord Fullstrom is a three time TV Champ.
The only other man to achieve that milestone has been King Rasta.
Rasta would be the tougher test of the two, but Fullstrom just always seems
to be floating around the TV Title level. He hasn't been any higher
since his days with the Doomsday Hunters, and may never go higher while
he's at his own. He's a guy that almost every TV Champ has faced.
And almost all of them have beaten him.
Somehow, it's doubtful that Kodiak would be any
different. However, Kodiak can often have troubles with
larger men.
Plus, Kodiak does have that challenge from the
Flying Scotsman over his head. Would that be enough to distract him?
Nord doesn't have much of a chance, but he has
enough of one.
Kodiak started this match with an assault on Fullstrom's
legs. He wasn't going to brawl with the big Scandinavian, because
brawling with Nord would put a wrestling in a position to get creamed by
the Nordic Hammer or the Battle-Axe Kick. So Kodiak kept on the legs,
eventually locking on a figure four leglock that he kept on for almost
a minute before Fullstrom got to the ropes.
Kodiak continued to use his speed to his advantage
throughout the match. Fullstrom was able to land maybe a punch or
two, but then Kodiak would toss in another attack on the legs or hit a
high flying move. Nord tried to squash Kodiak with an avalanche,
but Kodiak booted Nord in the chin and hit a springboard rana to follow
up. Nord got up and was nailed with a DDT.
Kodiak got a little cocky and decided it would
be fun to brawl with big Nord. Big mistake. Fullstrom was more
than up for it and, before Kodiak could do anything to stop him, he grabbed
Kodiak by the throat and choke slammed him to the mat. Nord backed
up and gave the sign for the Battle-Axe Kick!
If Kodiak loses this match, those loser chants
won't get any quieter.
Nord reared back and, when Kodiak was up, went
for the Battle-Axe. Kodiak ducked and, when Fullstrom turned to meet
him, Kodiak planted the Big V right on the chin! Nord went down.
He was out. Down and out. Three count.
Kodiak Marmoset pinned Nord Fullstrom with
the Finisher in 0:09:12.
Rating: ** 1/4
(Kodiak Marmoset retained the SMWA Television
Title.)
Kodiak gave a little scare, there, but he pulled
through okay. He passed the Nord test. Good for him.
Maybe he's not such a loser after all.
Still, the fans called him one. That poor
man. He'll never get any respect.
After a commercial, Nick Jones was backstage.
Jones: A big win for Major Force's Kodiak Marmoset. I'm here with Doomsday and, Doomsday, while I'm on the subject of Major Force, I have to ask you about your upcoming match. You're going to be facing Highland Hell member Angus Wallace. It's well known that Highland Hell has been at odds with Major Force, and it's also well known that Saul Masters has come into some money as of late. And with your recent turn to, well, an agent for hire, I have to ask. Is Masters paying you to take Angus out?
Doomsday: You talk to much. Jones, one thing money teaches you is how to keep quiet. If Masters was paying me, I sure as Hell wouldn't let you know. I have a match tonight, and you better not worry if I'm getting paid to destroy Angus. I'd destroy him for free. Wallace, this will not be Braveheart. Tonight, you will fall before the power of the ARMAGEDDON!!!
With that, Doomsday stormed
off, ready to kick some butt.
Maybe somebody should have
told him that, in Braveheart, that Wallace got destroyed, too. Freedom?
I guess being decapitated is freedom. No more neck pains.& nbsp; Ever.
Anyway...
Doomsday vs Angus Wallace
Wallace is a big, tough man and a former Tag Team
Champion. Doomsday is pretty much indestructible.
Angus wears a kilt in the ring. Doomsday
comes out dressed in chains and cables.
Angus likes to dance. Doomsday beats people
up for money.
Any guesses about this one?
Jones might have been stretching the Masters
connection, especially since Doomsday just came off a massive feud with
Skarzz, but you never do know. And we might never know.
Angus came down to a few cheers. If you
fight against Major Force, popularity begins to attach itself to you by
default. Doomsday got a mixed reaction. Sure, because of him,
Extinct is gone from the SMWA. But he's a free agent, willing to
take anybody down for a price. It's kind of hard to cheer the guy
who would kick your teeth in for enough cash.
The bell rang.
Angus started to dance in an attempt to piss Doomsday
off. A big lariat by Doomsday proved that Angus had done his job
well. After two more lariats, Doomsday picked Angus up and snared
him in a bearhug. Wallace fought to get out and escaped after what
seemed like an eternity after a series of earringers. Wallace went
for a right, but Doomsday blocked it and nailed Wallace with a back suplex.
Fisherman's buster. Vertical suplex.
Choke slam. Front powerslam. Senton. Running powerslam.
Wallace took all of those. To his credit, he didn't stay down long
enough to get pinned. He wanted to show Doomsday he was here to fight.
He managed to gain an advantage when he booted Doomsday in the face on
an avalanche attempt. A fan from ringside threw something into the
ring, and the ref didn't notice.
A frying pan.
Wallace's eyes lit up. He grabbed the weapon,
hid it from the ref and managed to clock Doomsday over the head with the
object, stunning the big man. Wallace, not wanting to get caught,
tossed the pan outside and charged at Doomsday with a lariat. Doomsday
ducked it and nailed a Samoan drop. He followed it up with a series
of spinning elbowdrops before tossing Wallace outside.
Wallace got up and saw Doomsday in the ring.
Then he looked to the entrance way and saw a nice dressing room that he
could relax in.
Which do you think he chose?
Doomsday defeated Angus Wallace by countout
in 0:08:37.
Rating: 3/4*
Cowardly? Yes. Smart? Hell yeah.
Who wouldn't take the night off af ter taking nearly everything except for
the Armageddon from Doomsday?
Doomsday didn't follow, either. Probably
means that Masters wasn't paying him. Otherwise, Angus would be picking
pieces of teeth out of his nose. That can be painful.
After a commercial, it was time for our Saturday
Night Tradition!
SMWA Luck of the Draw Match
The Star Spangled Banner started up, and people
started cheering before they realized who was coming to the ring.
The man who had betrayed his long-time friend and hooked up with Chad Hillsman,
the most hated man in wrestling and maybe anywhere. The first participant,
fresh off on an impressive World Title shot on Massacre, would be
Gunloc.
Next, we heard some German industrial.
The Master of Illusion, Gestalt,
came down as Gunloc's opponent. Really, Gestalt isn't the Master
of Illusion. In fact, the greatest illusion he managed to put up
was a look of confidence as he walked towards what would very likely be
a loss.
Just as a point of contrast,
if it had been Chad Hillsman in that ring, Gestalt would have been called
everything from Kraut to Nazi. Gunloc shows a little more restraint.
Just a week or two until
Hillsman returns. And he's coming back censored. Biff Slamkovich
is on the shelf with a knee injury. Aside from the fact that people
hate him, Gunloc is probably feeling pretty good right now.
The bell rang, and Gestalt started with a few dropkicks. He missed the second and that was the last of his offence. Some Luck of the Draw matches are just stinkers. This was one of them. Gunloc dominated the entire affair and eventually planted Gestalt with the Gut Crush. Instead of pinning him right away, Gunloc went up top and hit a diving headbutt. After that, he decided Gestalt was pin worthy.
Gunloc pinned Gestalt after a diving headbutt
in 0:02:28.
Rating: 1/2*
Gunloc got up and left. He didn't want to
stick around the arena, and his job was done. He had nothing to gain
by doing anything else to Gestalt.
We took our last commercials and came back for
our...
Main Event
Six-Man
Tag Team Match
Steelworks
and West Bronco
vs
Simply the
Best w/ Monica
******** Cue Ring Announcer ********
RA: Ladies and Gentlemen, the following contest is a SIX MAN tag team match... It is scheduled for one fall with TV time remaining.
******** Cue StB's Asshole Theme ********
RA: Introducing first... Being led to the ring by Monica... At a total combined weight of six hundred and fifty eight pounds... "The Rebel" Jerry Kent... "Daredevil" Ron Grayson... "The Streetfighting Stud" Cody Simmons... SIMPLY! THE! BEST!
Seattle seems to be StB
country. There were quite a few cheers for the trio of Kent, Grayson
and Cody (and Monica). Again, in spite of what seems to be a sketchy
alliance with Major Force, StB still has their fans nation-wide.
People love the assholes.
Here comes the ranting.
Cody: Hello, Seattle!
Grayson: Grunge rules! Yeah! Cobain 3:16!
Cody: Hey, that's copyright infringement, Grayson.
Kent: Well, Seattle, we have arrived. Steelworks, you couldn't deal with Cody and Ron before, so I don't know what makes you think tonight will be any different. And West? No Fat Man to save you this time.
Grayson: Who needs a gimmick?
Cody: Who are assholes and damn proud of it?
Kent: The same people that are the one thing that West Bronco and Steelworks aren't, and that is...
All: Simply the Best!
Kent: So from the Daredevil, The Streetfighting Stud and the woman who's got grunge on the brain, this is Jerry Kent saying goodnight, God bless and let the ass kicking commence!
Man, if StB keeps shifting
things around like that, people are never going to be able to recite the
whole intro with them.
.....
What?
******** Cue Steelworks' Music ********
RA: And their opponents... At a total combined weight of seven hundred and ninety nine pounds... STEELWORKS and their tag team partner WEST BRONCO!
Bronco and the works got a good amount of cheers, too. Seattle may be StB country, but Bronco and Steelworks have their fans as well.
This will be a sort of preview of Secrets.
There, Steelworks will face off against the combo of Grayson and Simmons
in an attempt to settle their dispute. West Bronco will face off
against Jerry Kent, and "Jumbo" Jack Flap will be the special guest referee
for that encounter. The problems in that little triangle are serious
enough, and it all revolves around Jumbo. No Jumbo in this match,
though.
Picking up from where they left off on Monday
Night and a year ago, Ron Grayson and Andrew Marshall started things off
for their teams.
The bell rang...
Marshall and Grayson decided to skip the early
match wrestling show. They thought it would be better to just beat
the Hell out of each other. The brawl between these two brought in
their team members and we had a six man brawl in the early stages of the
match. Bronco and Steelworks cleared out the ring. StB rethought
their strategy.
Once back in, Grayson tried to wrestle with Marshall.
Thing is, Marshall wasn't interested. He floored Grayson with a lariat
and then backed him into the corner. Quick tags by the former Raiders
trio had Grayson in big trouble. Marshall stayed in for the bulk
of the offence, pounding on his long time nemesis. Grayson wasn't
finished, though. Running off of the ropes, he nailed Marshall right
in the mush with a dropkick. The tag was made to Cody.
Cody and Grayson worked some excellent double
teaming. Grayson would fly for a bit while Cody kept punching away
at Marshall. Jackhammer had no idea what was going on. Jerry
Kent was tagged in and he floored Marshall with a bulldog headlock.
Things didn't look good for Marshall for a bit, but Kent made the mistake
of dropping his head too soon on a backdrop. Marshall nailed him
with a DDT and made the tag to West Bronco.
Bronco charged into the ring and immediately
started laying in to Kent. These two had a nice brawl going until
they ended up running in to each other head first in the middle of the
ring. Both men crawled to their corners. Marshall and Grayson
were tagged back in.
Marshall took the edge with a Gorilla press slam,
dropping Grayson hard on the mat. Marshall kept pounding on Grayson
and went to floor him with a lariat. Grayson ducked and wrapped Marshall
up in a crucifix.

EMERSON BREAKS THE PIN!!! In comes everybody!
Bronco and Kent started going at it in the corner
while Steelworks took their frustrations out on Cody and Grayson.
Marshall tossed Grayson over the top ropes and Steelworks focused on Cody,
taking him down with a double vertical suplex. They set Cody up for
the Dream Killer! Emerson came at Cody from behind while Marshall
came from the front.
As Marshall ran at him, Cody hit a dropkick.
Emerson's football tackle missed Cody completely as a result and hit Marshall
in the back. Marshall hit the mat hard and Cody took out Emerson.
Ron Grayson had made his way to the top rope and he nailed Marshall with
the Shooting Star Legdrop. He made the cover.

The one miscue was all it took. Cody wasn't
ready for the Dream Killer and it cost Steelworks as a result. What
a great reversal of the move by Cody!
Steelworks had troubles with their communication
once more. And once more, it cost them. They have got to get
their act together.
