Welcome to another exciting edition of Saturday Night Slam Masters. We're in Hokie Country this week, on the campus of Virginia Tech in front of a sold out Cassell Coliseum. And we've got a dandy of a card.
We will see a debut, of sorts, as our old friend
Blackhook returns as Mark Highrock!
Naga Yajito, trying to avoid further beatings
at the hands of the Baki Mono, will end up getting a beating from "Titan"
Tim Redbury.
The new and always obnoxious duo of The California
Kid and Wally B make their Tag Team debut as Overcompensators Anonymous.
They'll face off against "Bonecracker" Martin Riley and Lovechild.
Kodiak Marmoset defends his TV Title against
a returning Biff Slamkovich.
Highland Hell try their luck against the exciting
Air Raiders
Oddly enough, the Baki Mono have gone to the
SMWA offices and scheduled a match for Oni. He'll be taking on Baki
Mono member Raijin.
Our Saturday Night Tradition takes on a new look
for this week. It will be a Tag Team Triangle Match, with Johnny
Proton in one corner, Rokuru in another and, finally, the SMWA Cruiserweight
Champion, Lantern. This time, it will be their partners that are
chosen randomly.
And, in our main event, we will see a lot of
feuds colliding... and they all revolve around StB. Terry Sky will
team up with former members of a group he once fought to destroy against
the group that is being paid to destroy him. Sky will team with West
Bronco and Steelworks to take on Simply the Best.
Nick Jones is in the back to do interviews, Johnny
Lee and Tony B. are at the mics to do commentary and we are ready for our
first match!
Nitro vs Teknos
Classic big guy vs little guy match-up to start
off the night. Nitro's one of the eternally bad workers of the SMWA, while
Teknos is coming off of a slump in recent weeks.
At the ring of the bell, Nitro hit Teknos with
a savage headbutt, then picked him up and threw him outside of the ring,
after which he proceeded to kick the ever-loving crap out of the luchador.
A Hotshot across the guardrail. A throw into the steps. Twice splashed
into a table. Another guardrail shot, a DDT onto exposed concrete, a headsmash
into the steps, and Teknos was finally thrown back into the ring. Nitro
picked up a three iron from someone in the crowd and prepared to finish
the job...
TEKNOS ROLLS AWAY!
Teknos kicked Nitro and nailed him with an inverted
atomic drop, took him outside and put him on a table. He jumped to the
top rope and executed a flying elbowdrop. Nitro rolled out of the way,
and Teknos went through the table. Nitro chucked Teknos into the ring once
more, hit the Nitro Flash and scored the pinfall.
Nitro pinned Teknos with the Nitro Flash in
0:04:00.
Rating: 1/2*
A terrible beating to start off tonight's show.
We went backstage, where Nick Jones was ready
to talk to a Titan.
Jones: Fans, welcome to another edition of Saturday Night Slam Masters. We have an incredible show for you tonight, a show that will include this man, joining me right now, "Titan" Tim Redbury. Now, Titan, tonight you'll be facing off against Naga Yajito, but on Massacre, you have a more daunting task. The Dark Brand. What are you expecting for Monday Night?
Titan: Well, Nick, you tell me. It's pretty obvious to me that the Dark Brand isn't who he claims to be.
Jones: You're obviously referring to this Monday on Massacre, when you accused the Brand of being a man from you past?
Titan: Joseph McAllister, correct. Joseph, I don't know why you're dressing up like some kind of superhero. If you ever get the chance, feel free to explain, because I didn't have a single thing against you until you smacked me in the face with that brand of yours. This Monday Night, Joseph, you'll have your chance to prove yourself to me in that ring. I certainly hope that your antics have you prepared for it. I recommend you give some sort of explanation before we meet, because once I see you, you will have exactly the amount of time it takes me to lock my hand around your face and drive you to the ground. Don't play with me, Joseph. I don't have time for your silly games.
Jones: "Titan" Tim Redbury, folks. We'll be back with more Saturday Night Slam Masters after this!
A quick commercial, and we went to our next match.
"El Viajero
De Ano Dos Mil" BC-2000
vs
Clone
Luchador Clone. And you all thought "El Dragon"
Ron S. Race looked silly.
Everyone's favourite copycat got things started
quickly with a powerbomb to the unready Viajero, followed by a campaign
of ground moves. After a flying elbowdrop, some ringside punk, clad in
an StB T-shirt, flipped him off. Clone responded by picking up BC-2000
and throwing him at the guardrail, right in front of the kid's ringside
seat. While Clone taunted the crowd, BC got to his feet and jumped to the
apron. The moment Clone turned around, he ate a springboard clothesline.
BC-2000 then picked up Clone, and tried a simple
kick. Clone soon found out that it's a bad idea to grab a luchadors
leg, as an enzuigiri smacked him right in his face, giving him a nosebleed.
The fan was yelling again, and Clone wasn't about
to let the kid have the pleasure of seeing him lose. Clone got up and hit
BC-2000 with the Haggar original Spinning Lariat. Clone slid out of the
ring, ripped the chair right out from under the loudmouth fan, and threw
it into the ring. He set it up and sent BC-2000 into the ropes. BC came
back and rocked him with a flying dropkick, the back of Clone's head falling
onto the steel. BC covered...
1..
2...
Kickout!
Clone kicked back up and hit BC-2000 with another
power bomb. Clone completely dominated BC-2000 once more, hitting
him with an array of elbow and leg drops, then going to the top rope and
hitting a frog splash. The cover.
1...
2...
THR-Kickout!
Clone whined about the fast count, and didn't
see BC-2000 hit him with a drop kick which took the match to the outside.
BC dominated Clone on the outside, beating him until he realized the bell
had just rung.
BC-2000 and Clone battled to a double countout
in 0:14:44.
Rating: *** 1/2
A disgruntled BC-2000 gave the downed Clone one
last stomp and headed to the back. We had something interesting
after we went to commercial.
It was now time for an SMWA debut. We've seen
Blackhook the pirate, a former member of the Seven Deadly Sins and tag
team partner of the impossible heap of flab known as Glutt. In recent months,
Blackhook was showing signs of improvement.
With Nord Fullstrom already in the ring, Blackhook
made his entrance. Only he wasn't
a pirate.
He was a rock climber.
Mark Highrock vs Nord Fullstrom
Dressed in extreme climbing gear, Blackhoo...
er... Mark Highrock stormed the ring and was promptly FLATTENED by the
ex-viking. After a devastating spinebuster slam, Nord threw Blackrock...
er... Highrock... into the corner and choked him with a boot to the neck.
A double axhandle followed by a legdrop rendered Markhook... I mean Blackhigh...
aw, skip it. Nord, sensing the end, picked up his opponent, kicked him
in the stomach, and hit the Battle-Axe Kick for the easy pinfall.
Maybe he should have stayed a pirate.
Nord Fullstrom pinned Mark Highrock with the
Battle-Axe Kick in 0:00:42.

After commercials, the official squash of the night.
"Titan" Tim Redbury vs "Shadowfire" Naga Yajito
Naga Yajito has been booted from and punished
by the supernatural Baki Mono after several sub-par performances.
Titan Tim is famous enough to be chased around by a disgruntled Shakespearean
actor who is calling himself The Dark Brand.
What else needs to be said?
Naga desperately rushed at Titan Tim, hitting
him with all sorts of moves. Titan barely budged. After about thirty
seconds of futile attempts to take Tim down, the Titan decided to end it
with a quick Claw Slam.
Titan Tim Redbury pinned Naga Yajito after
a Claw Slam in 0:00:47
Rating: ** 1/4
Titan didn't spend much more time in the ring
than was necessary after the win, leaving Naga Yajito all alone.
There was a flash of light on the ramp!
Oni had appeared! Oni was staring down the fallen Naga Yajito.
Naga got up and saw his former foe, nearly stumbling
due to the shock. Oni pointed to Naga with his trident and then disappeared.
Oni was trying to send some sort of message to
Naga Yajito. What was it?
Backstage, Nick Jones had another interview.
Jones: I'll tell you, this situation between Oni and the Baki Mono gets more and more complicated every week. You really need a scorecard. My guest right now is making his return to action after a few weeks on the shelf and, in a stroke of good luck, he gets a shot at the SMWA Television Title. Welcome, Biff Slamkovich.
Biff: Thank you.
Jones: Now, this Monday Night, Chad Hillsman will be making his return to the SMWA. It's going to be a different Chad Hillsman in that he has been censored by SMWA Commissioner Jack McCullough, but I'm sure his hatred for foreigners will continue, and I'm sure that will include you.
Biff: Jones, I don't care if Hillzman can't speak his trash to me. We all would razzer not here it. You say he's different? No. He's still ze same man who forced my friend Zangief out. Hillzman, what you and Gunloc did to me and Zangief at New Year's Smash waz sick. I vill be in Norfolk zis Monday for Massacre. I know you are a coward, but I suggest you show up, too.
Jones: You mentioned Gunloc, your former tag team partner in the Super Powers. Surely, he is still in your sights.
Biff: Abzolutely. What he did to me vill never, ever be forgotten. Right now, I can only deal with one man a time. I don't have a partner to hide behind like Gunloc does. Gunloc, you be there on Monday, too. Hillzman vill need somebody to speak for him.
Jones: Well, Biff, good luck with whatever you're planning on Monday and good luck in your TV Title match later tonight.
Biff: Thank you.
Jones: We'll be back with the team that I helped name... after these messages.
Overcompensators Anonymous vs Martin Riley & Lovechild
They're pretty fly. Who cares?
Well, give the Kid and Wally B credit.
They've managed to get under the skin of Martin Riley and Lovechild, which
has set up this chance for a tag team debut!
Really, though, you have to wonder if Martin's
dad, the legendary first SMWA Champion, William Riley, thought his boy
would be teaming with a horny bastard from Niagara Falls against a surfer
and a would be homeboy.
The formula would be simple. Riley and
Lovechild are master mat technicians. The Kid and B are fighters
and fliers. That's how this would go.
The match starts out with lots of technical stuff
from Riley unto the Kid. Martin made mincemeat out of CK, who looked like
he didn't know a wrestling move worth a damn. After two minutes,
Martin felt ready to end it and locked on the Riley Ride! For a full
51 seconds! And the Kid didn't give up! You have to give him credit
for at least that.
Riley whipped the Kid into the ropes, and both
got hit with a double clothesline. Both slowly crawled to their feet, Martin
getting up first and quickly stomping the other back down. Martin wasn't
too happy about this kid not submitting to a legendary finisher.
A barrage of kicks and stomps followed, the Kid helpless to do anything.
It was by this time that Lovechild began to call for the tag. Martin turned,
and in a second, the Kid tripped him, and executed a surfboard! Martin
tried to get out, but eventually settled for a tag to the nearby Lovechild.
Lovechild quickly stomped the Kid, releasing
Riley, and executed a backdrop driver. He pushed CK into the ropes for
an Irish Whip, but the Kid sneakily got the tag to Wally B, who literally
jumped on Lovechild, beating his head until he went down. Wally picks up
Lovechild, and tried for a cross body block, which was caught and reversed
into a powerslam by Lovechild. Cover...
1...
2...
Kickout.
Wally B quickly low-blowed Lovechild, jumped
to the top rope and hit a flying cross body press. Instead of trying for
the cover, however, he threw Lovechild into the ropes and hit a flying
leg lariat, followed by a legdrop. Wally then took Lovechild into a sleeperhold,
which was quickly broken when Lovechild grabbed the ropes. Both men got
to their feet, Wally jumped up for a Frankensteiner, Lovechild counters
with a powerbomb.
1...
2...
Kickout.
Lovechild picked up Wally B and embraced him
in the Love Hug. Wally struggled, but they were in the middle of the ring,
nowhere near the ropes. 47 seconds later, Lovechild released Wally B. He
wasn't about to submit.
I'll tell you one thing, these dorks are resilient.
Wally B started hitting Lovechild again. Punch.
Kick. Dropkick. Into the ropes... And another double clothesline.
Wally B gets to his feet and tagged in the California
Kid.
They hit Lovechild with a double clothesline,
and Wally B took a breather as the Kid executed the California Deathlock!
Martin Riley tried to make the save, but Wally
B rushed in and cut him off.
Lovechild took 16-seconds to break the hold. That's not going to
impress the ladies.
Martin Riley jumped in once again and started
attacking the California Kid, deaf to the warnings of the referee. Lovechild
had to personally pull Riley off the Kid before the match could continue.
As a disgruntled Riley stepped out of the ring,
a dizzy Kid stumbled right into the Love Hug. 14 seconds was all
it took.
Martin Riley and Lovechild defeated Overcompensators
Anonymous when Lovechild made California Kid submit to the Love Hug in 0:19:16.
Rating: ** 3/4
Lovechild turned around, and saw that Riley was
already in the locker room.
Lucky for him the Kid didn't break out, or there
would have been trouble.
We took a commercial and came back for some TV
Title action.
SMWA Television
Title Match
Kodiak Marmoset
(C) w/ Saul Masters
vs
Biff Slamkovich
Biff's leg was damaged weeks ago after an assault by his former tag team partner, Gunloc. But the Rockin' Ruskie (from Ukraine) is back and ready to kick some All-American Ass. First, he has to get past Kodiak Marmoset, who's set to do double duty against the Flying Scotsman at Slam Masters: Secrets. These are two well rounded stars. This should be good.
Biff attacked Kodiak in the middle of his entrance,
throwing him into the ring as the bell sounded. He threw Marmoset
into the ropes, and hit him with a football tackle, followed by a series
of punches. Kodiak broke free, and reversed a whip into the ropes,
hitting Biff with a shoulderblock. A bit of an exchange, and then
Biff found himself on the mat after a cradle suplex. Kodiak locked
on a Texas Cloverleaf for about 7 seconds before Biff made it to the ropes.
Kodiak tried the cradle suplex again, but Biff
was ready for this one, turning in mid air and landing on him for the cover.
Not even a one.
Kodiak took Biff down with a belly-to-belly suplex,
then rolled him out of the ring. The ref counted as Kodiak hit Biff
with a jawbreaker, followed by a toss into the ringpost. Kodiak slid inside
the ring, allowing Saul Masters to get a few quick stomps in. As the crowd
threw debris in Masters' general direction, Biff crawled back inside the
ring. Another attempt at that cradle suplex, and Biff rolls into an Achilles
tendon hold. Five seconds, and a desperate Kodiak reached the ropes.
Kodiak, perhaps looking to stall, took his sweet time waiting to get up,
and Biff capitalized by hitting a bulldog, driving Kodiak's head into the
ground. Biff rolled Kodiak over, went up top and hit the Hammer Splash.
1...
2...
THR... Kickout!
Kodiak knocked Biff into the turnbuckle and hit
a Stinger Splash, which is CAUGHT by Biff and reversed into a pancake slam.
Biff picks up Kodiak. Clothesline. Side suplex. Double-axhandle.
Atomic drop. Snap suplex reversed into a backslide.
1...
2...
Shoulder up.
Kodiak wasn't winning like THAT. Biff went back
to work, hitting and kicking Kodiak, then jumping to the top and nailing
a diving shoulderblock, followed by an elbowdrop. Biff picks up Kodiak
and tries for a dropkick, but Kodiak moves. Biff gets up and Kodiak
floors him with a DDT!
1...
2...
THRE... shoulder up!
Kodiak locks on a figure-four! The ref looked
at Biff, and, as most referees don't, didn't see Saul Masters grabbing
on for extra leverage. 33 seconds, Biff grabs the ropes. But then,
Saul Masters got involved, "accidentally" tripping the referee, knocking
him down.
Masters throws the TV belt in the ring and then
jaws with the ref.
Kodiak grabs the TV Title belt, and Biff gets
PASTED over the head! Kodiak tossed the belt outside as Masters finished
arguing with the ref.
Kodiak picked up Biff and hit the Big V!!!
One, two, three.
The things Kodiak Marmoset will do for a win
these days.
Kodiak Marmoset pinned Biff Slamkovich with
the Finisher in 0:14:18.

Title.)
In spite of the win, the crowd was already chanting "Loser" at Kodiak as we went to commercial. When we returned, All four of our combatants for the next match were already in the ring.
Highland Hell vs The Air Raiders
They met at New Year's Smash with the Tag Titles
on the line. Those belts are no longer a part of the equation.
Now, the speedy Raiders and the mighty Highlanders are facing off to get
back to the top. To get at Major Force.
Ultimate Spider wasted no time throwing Hamish
MacTavish into the ropes, his only reward being a clothesline to the teeth.
Angus Wallace stepped into the ring. Spider eats
a stiff powerbomb. As Hamish was about to go for the pin, El Stingray jumped
in from the top rope with a missile dropkick, knocking Hamish down!
Both Raiders went to the top rope, and hit Hamish
with a double flying headbutt. Spider and Hamish still the legal men, Ulty
put Hamish into a chinlock deathlock submission. Angus enters the ring
one more time, laying out both cruisers with vicious lariats before splattering
Spider with a powerslam.
Hamish picks up the Spider, puts him on the top
rope, hits the Scottish Slam, easy pinfall.
Wow!
Highland Hell (Angus Wallace and Hamish MacTavish) defeated The Air Raiders (El Stingray and Ultimate Spider) when
Hamish pinned Spider with the Scottish Slam in 0:01:45.

A loss like that can't be good for the Air Raiders.
No tags involved in a quick win for the Scotsmen.
After some sponsor were paid, we had a match
in an ongoing war.
"Gran Hikari" Oni vs "The Great Thunder" Raijin
The Baki Mono actually requested this match.
In the past, they've been more intent on chasing Oni down. This time,
they went through the official channels to get this match. That begs
one question. Why?
This bizarre feud between these mystical sides
seems to be heading towards... something. The Baki Mono have mentioned
some "defender" several times, and we have seen Oni saved several times
in the past weeks by a blue flame. Is that the defender? Or
are we only scratching the surface.
Both men came out spectacularly. Raijin
with his thunderclaps echoing through the arena, Oni in his brilliant flash
of light, as we had seen earlier. They didn't waste much time getting
it on.
Raijin starts off this fight on like lightning with a series of martial arts punches and kicks, catching Oni completely off-guard. Raijin all the way for the next two minutes, until Oni finally hits a dropkick. Oni hits the Neck Wrecker, when who should come but- you guessed it- the Baki Mono.
Oni defeated Raijin by disqualification in
0:02:34.
Rating: 1/2*
Oni is surrounded on all sides...
This was a trap! The Baki Mono knew Oni
would accept their challenge, and they baited him. This wasn't about
Raijin winning. It was about getting Oni where they wanted him.
For some reason, Oni wouldn't disappear.
The Baki Mono charged at him.
Somebody came charging out of the back.
NAGA YAJITO!!!
Yajito stormed the ring and immediately went
after his former stable... and lasted all of three seconds before being
floored by Teioh. Oni was alone again.
Suddenly, three blue beams came down from the
ceiling, with Oni right in the middle. The beams cause three lines
of blue flames to sprout up around Oni and the fallen Naga, and the Baki
Mono could not advance. Behind the flames, there was some kind of
flash of light.
The lights went out. The flames disappeared.
And when things returned to normal, Oni and Naga Yajito were gone!
Naga Yajito has just helped Oni! And so
have those blue flames. This is getting spooky.
We took a commercial, and when we returned, Nick
Jones had our final interview of the night.
Jones: We're winding down the night, with only our Luck of the Draw Match and our Main Event to go. A main event which will feature this man, Terry Sky. Terry, welcome to the show.
Sky: Thanks.
Jones: Now, Terry, your recent financial situation has been well documented...
Sky: How do you mean, Jones? Would you be talking about how Saul Masters stole all of my money? How I'm on the streets because of him? Does that sound about right?
Jones: Well, I don't want to say anything...
Sky: Of course not. Nobody does, because everybody's scared of Major Force. I'm the only man who wants to speak up about this, but I can't. Not without Simply the Best jumping down my throat. Clark, Kent... You two sold Simply the Best's souls to the devil, and I hope you can live with that. If not, it doesn't matter, because at Secrets, Rick, you're going to have to deal with me.
Jones: And he'll have to deal with you tonight as you team up with some men who aren't exactly strangers to you. The only difference is that you used to be on opposite sides.
Sky: Those were different days, Jones. Me, Bronco and Steelworks may have had our wars in the past. They don't like me, I don't like them, but we know what we have to do tonight. We've got to take down StB. And once we do, I'm coming for you, Masters. I'm coming for my money.
Jones: A very serious Terry Sky, folks. We'll have our Saturday Night Tradition coming up after these commercials.
SMWA Luck
of the Draw Tag Team Triangle Match
Johnny Proton
& ??? vs Lantern & ??? vs Rokuru & ???
The Cruiserweight Title, currently held by Lantern,
has been tossed around by these three cruisers like a hot potato.
A confrontation between the lot of them was a given. But we didn't
expect it like this.
Each man will be randomly assigned a partner.
That means we could see Rokuru teaming with Doomsday, Lantern and Skarzz
together again or maybe even old friends turned foes Kodiak Marmoset and
Johnny Proton on the same team.
The possibilities are endless.
******** Cue Ring Announcer ********
RA: Ladies and gentlemen... our first mystery wrestler... he will be teaming with the SMWA Cruiserweight Champion, Lantern....
******** Cue Highland Hell's music ********
It's Hamish MacTavish! Lantern and Hamish MacTavish! Now if THAT isn't an odd team... a team we have seen before, though, as Lantern sided with Highland Hell in a feud against the now defunct Los Viajeros Dos Mil. Still, Lantern and the Highlanders... they never seemed to mesh.
RA: Our second mystery wrestler... he will be teaming with Johnny Proton...
******** Cue Highland Hell's music ********
Angus Wallace! The second member of Highland Hell teaming with Johnny Proton! What's going on? This is a REALLY odd coincidence.
RA: Our final mystery partner... teaming with The Teddy Bear of Destruction, Rokuru...
Please don't cue Highland Hell's music.
******** Cue Highland Hell's music ********
Well drown the kids and shoot the neighbours,
it's THE FLYING SCOTSMAN!
So, it's Highland Hell against each other...
all in one match. None of the Highlanders looked too happy about
that.
All three cruisers didn't even try to tag. An
incredible high-flying battle ensued between the three cruisers, with the
entire crowd wondering which Highlander would get the first shot.
They all did.
Three bored Scotsmen is not something you want
to be around, as Lantern, Proton, and Rokuru found out as all three were
beaten down by the huge Scotsmen. The Scots had a grand ol' time tossing
around cruisers. A barely conscious Johnny Proton managed to escape to
the back. Lantern got out through the crowd. As for the pudgy Rokuru...
Highland Hell arranged themselves in a triangle...
and actually started PLAYING CATCH WITH ROKURU! It was a terrible
sight, yet hilarious at the same time. When he Scots were done, they left
a dizzy Rokuru stumbling around in the ring, intent on heading to
the nearest tavern to celebrate a successful night of cruiser-bashing.
Triangle Match:
Johnny Proton and Angus Wallace, The Flying
Scotsman and Rokuru, and Lantern and Hamish MacTavish fought to a no contest
in 0:03:08
That's what we get for breaking from formula.
We took our final commercial break and returned
just in time for our...
******** Cue Ring Announcer ********
RA: Ladies and Gentlemen, the following contest is an EIGHT MAN TAG TEAM MATCH scheduled for one fall.
******** Cue StB's Asshole Theme ********
RA: Introducing first... Being led to the ring by Monica... "The Streetfighting Stud" Cody Simmons... "Daredevil" Ron Grayson... "The Rebel" Jerry Kent... "Tricky" Rick Clark... SIMPLY! THE! BEST!
The university crowds love StB, even though they're
on the take.
Cody took the mic first.
Cody: In honour of being at Ginny Tech, me and Ronnie are going to do a little Hokie-Pokey all over Bronco, Steelworks and that bum that's following them around.
Grayson: Your story is sweet, guys. Old foes banding together. In the end, it doesn't make a difference, because you do not need a tragic story when you're Simply! The! Best!
Cody/Grayson: Assholes and damn proud of it!
Clark: Terry, I hope your deal with Bronco and Steelworks doesn't just end with them teaming with you. Seriously, man, try and see if you can't bum a meal off of those boys. You guys are going to get beat and we'll watch your feet as you go live on the street! If you folks still can't understand what I'm saying, I've got three little letters that will make it all that much clearer... S! t! B!
Kent: I'm betting you're mad as Hell, Sky, and I know you've got Steelworks and Jumbo Jr. on your side, but there is one thing that you are not and that is Simply the Best! So from The Streetfighting Stud, The Daredevil, Tricky Rick and the woman who couldn't tell you the first six letters of Virginia, this is Jerry Kent saying good night, God bless and LET THE ASS KICKIN' COMMENCE!!!
People have already started speaking the lines with StB. That can never be a good thing.
******** Cue West Bronco's Music ********
RA: And their opponents... West Bronco! Steelworks! And Terry Sky!!!
Surprisingly, StB were the crowd favourites in
this town. Bronco, Steelworks and Sky got their fair share of cheers,
but StB got the most. We could be on the brink of a revolution, folks.
The feuds break down like this. Steelworks
just don't get along with Grayson and Cody, mostly because of the ages
old Marshall-Grayson feud. Jerry Kent is convinced that West Bronco's
former mentor, referee "Jumbo" Jack Flap is trying to push Bronco and hurt
StB. Years ago, Terry Sky blinded Rick Clark in one eye. The
eye never healed. Now, StB is being paid to take down Sky for Major
Force. Clark probably went very cheaply. Add in a couple of
older feuds between Terry Sky and Ron Grayson, Ron Grayson and West Bronco
and Rod Emerson and Jerry Kent ,and you're sitting on a powder keg.
With all of the pent up emotion in that ring,
it was no surprise that we didn't have to wait for a ringing bell for this
one to get crazy.
The brawl in the ring eventually narrowed down
to Rod Emerson and Jerry Kent, who have a history going all the way back
to the eighties. It was your standard brawl between these two before
Emerson tagged in Andrew Marshall. The opening few minutes were nothing
more than Steelworks brawling and overpowering StB. We finally got
a prolonged exchange between Rick Clark and Andrew Marshall, which Marshall
dominated with his awesome power. Clark managed to tag on the fly
to Kent, but Marshall saw it and took the Rebel down. West Bronco
was tagged in against Kent. The fight continued.
In fact, most of this match was heated brawling
in the early going. After Bronco and Kent finished their exchange,
it was time for Marshall and Grayson to rekindle their own feud.
They were a bit more technical about it, engaging in some excellent counterwrestling,
but that, too, soon degenerated to a brawl. Marshall got the edge
with a series of belly-to-belly suplexes and tagged in Terry Sky!
Sky jumped on the downed Grayson and began pounding
on him. Realistically, if Grayson had never pulled his little power
play in Sky Entertainment Ltd. months back, Terry Sky wouldn't have had
to have joined Major Force and we all could have lived happier lives.
So you could understand why Sky was upset. Jerry Kent ran into the
ring but was clocked with a superkick. Sky then knocked Cody off
of the apron and took a swing at Clark, but Clark ducked and dropped Sky's
throat on the top rope. Grayson took control with a DDT.
Ronnie kept on going, using a double underhook
suplex before flying off of the top ropes with a somersault splash.
Grayson went for the cover and only got a two count. He slammed Sky
again and went back to the top, this time for a moonsault. Sky moved
out of the way and made the tag to Rod Emerson.
Emerson stormed in, flattening Grayson with a
fleet of lariats. After taking some punishment, Grayson got the tag
to Kent, and the old school rivals continued to fight it out. The
action spilled outside, where the two took turns nailing each other with
a broom before taking the match back inside. Both men went down after
their heads collided in a mid ring collision. Kent crawled to his
corner and tagged Clark.
Emerson tagged Sky!
These two dispensed with the formalities and
brought the match back into the brawl zone. Soon, the whole ring
filled up with wrestlers!
Cody managed to nail a still groggy Emerson with
an uppercut, taking him out of the equation. Sky was beginning to
get the edge on Clark, but Cody quickly rectified that by nailing Sky with
a DDT. Cody and Clark whipped Sky to the ropes and tried to hit him
with a double clothesline. Sky ducked and hit both men with a dropkick.
Cody fell outside. Sky picked Clark and nailed him with the Lights
Out! He went for the cover!
The ref was busy with the rest of the brawl!
No count!!!
Cody reached into his jeans and pulled out some
kind of foreign object. He put it on his hand, jumped into the ring
and clocked Sky in the back of the head. He picked up the dazed Sky
and finished him off with the Dead End! Clark got the referee.

It was dirty, but StB has drawn first blood on
Terry Sky. As soon as the win was announced, StB got away from the
brawl as fast as they could.
Terry Sky got back to his feet. Before
his team-mates could even ask if he was okay, he was running into the back,
searching for StB.
This isn't over.
An extra special thanks to JT IceFire, who nine of the ten match write ups for me. His help brings the SMWA just that much closer to "Real Time"
