ORIGIN of VIOLENCE PPV [/size][/color] Hi guys. Intrepid Internet explorer and podcast journalist Chip Chimney is live in Brockton MA with another exclusive inside look at the next big BCCW show "ORIGINS of VIOLENCE". There's a lot of rumor and innuendo flooding the streets recently in relation to this event, so let's get right to the action. At the last show "DEEPER than WRESTLING", both reigning Death Match champion "Vicious" Vic Grimes and his arch-nemesis New Jack met their apparent demise in a dangerous, highlight reel crash-and-burn. Not only did this leave a hole in the mythical "King of the Death Match" subgenre, it created a vacuum in the BCCW world of narcotic distribution (a position once filled by the "Kilo Killa" of BCCW, Vic Grimes). Several lower-teir dealers have scrambled to attempt to fill the void, but without a definitive ruling presence or overall hierarchy - they're all just clawing each other down. The once mighty and feared Cannibal Cartel has fractured under the pressure, with only "Sick" Nick Mondo and Madman Pondo keeping a modicum of cooperation - as they are legally bound to fulfill a few more contractual obligations. But they've ostracized the increasingly erratic Trent Acid, who has been left to his own vices. Meanwhile, word on the streets is that a new supplier has popped up recently and has begun flooding the streets of Brockton with increased strains of green, purer white and a much more potent brown. Whether they can continue to meet the demands of eager fiends remains to be seen, but one thing is certain - this new supplier has drawn the docile favor of Cartel tag-team mates Mondo and Pondo. This new connection is rumored to be one of the reasons they have been able to remain focused on the task at hand, and reports are stating that the upcoming battle between Cannibal Cartel and the Sheepherders was masterminded by this mysterious new BCCW dealer. Whether this figure really exists or is just the creation of wild street fantasy remains to be seen. Backstage, I caught up with Pondo and Mondo who just laughed at my questions. [/color] Introducing the announce team for the evening: Gordon Solie, MSD & Matt Striker** CUT TO RINGSIDE **[/color] During the dark match portion of the evening, show opened with Miley Cyrus' "Party in the USA" and SAMMI LANE making her way down to the ring with "Adorable" Adrian Adonis. Neither one looked too happy. Sammi ranted about the state of the woman's title scene, and said she should be the #1 contender. Not some floppy, too-tall, risque former porn star - referring to ALOISIA the AMAZON! She even showed some of Aloisia's "scandalous" photos on the jumbo screen, along with hilarious and incisive commentary. This drew out Lizzy Borden and her charge Aloisia the Amazon to address Sammi and Adrian. ALOISIA the AMAZON: This morning I was shocked to discover that a new rumor was circulating on the Web, pertaining to my removal from the NXT cast. According to articles posted on numerous websites, I was removed from NXT due to WWE discovering “erotic photos” from my past on the Web. While no specific source is named in the articles, the implication is that this information is coming from someone within BCCW...[/color] (gestures towards Sammi Lane). The pictures are already out there, so there’s no point in trying to hide them. I find them embarrassing, not because they’re particularly “erotic”, but because I was overweight and out-of-shape when they were taken five years ago and because they’re amateurishly shot. I’m sure everyone who’s reading this has some pictures somewhere that you’d rather not have published on the Web for the whole world to see. Unfortunately, part of the price of celebrity is the fact that people dig around in your past to try to find ways to exploit you as a means of increasing their own readership. SAMMI LANE: You're a slut!!! ALOISIA the AMAZON: To put these pictures in their proper context, I was an 18 year old kid at the time most of them were taken. I had recently left home because I was being abused by my mother’s new husband and was on my own with no money and no parental guidance. I met a photographer who offered me some money to take pictures and being both stupid and desperate, I consented to doing a photo session. To all those who would judge me, I would ask you to honestly ask yourself what you might have done had you been in my situation. I’m not proud of having done this, but there’s nothing I can do to go back and change the past. It is what it is. For what it’s worth, none of the pictures are nude and most of them are less suggestive than what you see on current WWE programming. When I first received my offer from WWE, they asked me to fill out a “Talent Information Form” providing them with information about myself and my background. One of the questions was, “Have you ever posed nude?”. I answered “No” to this question, because that’s the truth. If they had asked me if I ever posed suggestively, I would of course have answered “Yes”, but there’s a big difference between suggestive and nude. As to the question of whether this was why they took me off the show, that’s something you’d have to ask them. Perhaps it was a factor in their decision, but I honestly don’t know their entire thought process, as they’ve communicated very little to me about this. From what I’ve been reading on various blogs, it seems that Sammi Lane may have had a political motivation to get me off the show, but again, I'll have to ask her... [/color] *DARK MATCH* ALOISIA the AMAZON (w/ Lizzy Borden) versus SAMMI LANE (w/ "Adorable" Adrian Adonis) [/size] versus Utter devastation. Sammi Lane gets a few of her cute little spots in, but Aloisia is just too big, too much. Crushes Sammi Lane with the double-fisted chokeslam for the pin. Afterwards, Lizzy and Adrian Adonis go face to face before he gets kicked in the balls and choke slammed by Aloisia to end the segment. Aloisia is coming back for a WWW Title shot. WINNER: Aloisia the Amazon Fade to black. _________________________________________________________ ORIGIN of VIOLENCE PPV [/size][/color] Cut to BCCW "Origins of Violence" PPV hype package. Cold open to pyrotechnics display, pan to the announce booth where Matt Striker gets his official on-screen welcome from his broadcast partners, and we're off... Cue event theme song "Diamonds from Sierre Leone" opens the show, heralding the arrival of the immaculately-attired Diamond Dynasty. BOBBY "the Brain" HEENAN:[/color] Well, my mother managed a hotel, and in the hotel lived this wrestler. Big guy, used to lift rocks and stones at the beach. So he took me and a bunch of kids to Mirigolds one night in Chicago. And, I sat down, I was sitting in the bleachers and I saw all these wrestlers come out. The heels would tell the people to shut-up, and they'd get louder. And the heels would get madder, and they'd get louder. And finally he'd kick something, and they'd go nuts. And I thought to myself, wow. Here's a guy that tells the people to shut-up, and they won't listen to him. And he keeps getting madder and the people keep getting louder. And I said wait a minute, now he's controlling them. This is great. If I could do this...this is fun. Because I liked entertaining. And I said my god, and I was hooked from that moment on. I just wanted to entertain. NATURE BOY BUDDY ROGERS: Well I believe it shows that wrestling is a dynamite sport; it gives a lot of action, gives alot of thrills. Alot of things the public really likes to see. I wrestled at the Kansas YMC in my earlier years, after that I turned pro in 1940 at the old Garden Theater in Atlantic City - which, by the way, just burned down a month ago. I've done more for wrestling than any wrestler... Alot of things I see in wrestling today, are a lot of things I invented. Alot of things I've done. I'm constantly being emulated for many things I did, today. WADE BARRETT: At one time, everybody hated D-Generation X and booed them. But then, later, the fans loved DX. I've never gone out and courted favours. I've never gone out to be booed, either. It's just me being myself. I can see people in The Diamond Dynasty getting cheered. It's difficult not to like this guy when you see him in the ring. Maybe fans will like half of the guys and hate the other half. But at the moment, the fans don't like us too much...Bobby Heenan continues to polish the Diamond Dynasty shine, asking rhetorically: "If I were starting my own wrestling company and I had to pick people, past or present, living or dead, to be in my company, who would they be and why?" BOBBY "the Brain" HEENAN: Well...one guy I'd pick would be Buddy Rogers. Buddy Rogers was smart. He knew how to get himself over. He knew everything backstabbing way to do it. He could do it...he was smooth, he was really good. Yeah. He used to have this guy named Billy Darnell, and you know you get your guys legs underneath your arms and you give them that giant swing? Well Rogers would let them go. And you'd go over the top rope and into the crowd. He always told the guy that he slipped. But that's what got Rogers over, and this poor guy, he couldn't remember his name. But...Rogers was cool. So I'd take Buddy Rogers as one. Then I'd take Million $$$ Champion Wade Barrett...Then I would take the lovely Maryse. There's three. Barrett's got great ideas. And then I would take...the last guy....my last guy...I would take... Dolph Ziggler NATURE BOY BUDDY ROGERS: [He's got] Conditioning, that little four letter word called "guts"... and alot of ability. Just like the Diamond Dynasty!!! DOLPH ZIGGLER: I went to the national tournament in college. Whenever I had a chance to mention WWE I did. I could see where it could help me. The two are similar in that there’s a lot of dedication involved, you never stop learning and you never stop trying to get better than everyone else. I’m sure my conditioning and my body shape helped me, but I feel confident in the ring and on the mat. I went through a lot of drudging practices. A lot of guys have been amateur wrestlers, but not all of them broke records like I did (Nemeth is second all-time in wins in Kent State history). But I’ve been a fan since I was 5 years old. I went to my first show live when I was 14 or 15 years old. That’s when I decided I wanted to be a professional sports entertainer. I thought that the better I did in high school and college, the better I had a chance at getting a tryout and getting my foot in the door. BOBBY "the Brain" HEENAN[/color]: And they made more money than me. That's why in '91, I retired from managing, Mr. Perfect. But I came back with that XWF a couple times with Perfect. Just to play around and get a trip to Orlando for a couple days and get out of the house. Dolph Ziggler? He reminds me of a young Mr. Perfect. DOLPH ZIGGLER: I was a big fan of his. He was Mr. Perfect. He was great. He was a little bigger than me. A big strong guy, but he moved like a cat. He looked great, he moved great and he was a leader in the ring. Of course, as a huge fan, it’s an honor to be compared to him. That guy was one of the greats of all time. I don’t really model myself after one person though. I look at a lot of guys and give my own twist on them. BOBBY "the Brain" HEENAN: Yes. I would have complained more. I would have. I never complained in the business. I would have complained more about money, and how I was paid compared to who I managed. Because they always paid the man I managed more than me. Because their mentality was "Well he's working, your managing." Wait a minute...it's all theater. I'm just playing the part of the manager, as he's playing the part of the wrestler. If you want to see wrestling, go to Iowa State. If you want to see pro wrestling, turn the TV on. I'm playing the part. And I'll guarantee you something, most of the guys I managed, I was over more than they were. Nature Boy Buddy Rogers bestows upon Dolph Ziggler an official Diamond Dynasty Rolex, and the title of heir apparent. All 4 men shake hands, while Maryse politely applauds and sizes Ziggler up. DOLPH ZIGGLER: That title is really special to me. I’ve had several goals along the course of my entire career. I wanted to break records in college. I wanted to get my foot in the door in BCCW and be the youngest guy and the quickest guy to make it to the main roster. I think I earned (the Intercontinental title) about a year after I thought I would get it. But it is a stepping stone to become even bigger like a lot of guys use it. It can help solidify my name as one of the greatest... Suddenly, the Dynasty's self-glorification is rudely interrupted by "Bad Street USA"... The FABULOUS FREEBIRDS are in the house!!! The Dynasty is absolutely incredulous at the interruption. Michael Hayes has the mic; drops a few one-liners and quotables to get a rise from the bad guys and draw a pop from the crowd. Buddy Rogers goes nose to nose with Hayes, and all hell breaks loose. Big Terry Gordy brawls Wade Barrett right out of his expensive loafers, suit coat and Million $$$ Championship while Buddy Roberts takes it straight to Dolph Ziggler. Heenan and Maryse flee the ring. 1) FABULOUS FREEBIRDS versus DIAMOND DYNASTY (Buddy Rogers, Wade Barrett & Dolph Ziggler)(Impromptu 6-Man Tag Match)[/size] versus Less of a "match", more of a violent demonstration of gang violence. The Dynasty don't have time to remove their expensive dress clothes before the Freebirds are all over them, tearing them to shreds. Rogers get the double-clothesline ejection from the ring, while Barrett languishes on the floor. Immediately Dolph Ziggler eats the Freebirds version of the DWI, and 3 quick seconds later the Freebirds are the victors! Crowd explodes! The Freebirds boogie, dance and play to the cheering throngs while the Dynasty regroups outside the ring. The Dynasty angrily rants and raves until their faces are beet red with a combination of rage and embarrassment. WINNER: The Fabulous Freebirds _________________________________________________________ 2) DUDLEY BOYZ versus PUBLIC ENEMY [/size] versus The Public Enemy made their ECW debut on Ultra Clash in 1993, with the gimmick of white guys who embraced and loved the growing culture of Hip Hop in America. The inspiration to create The Public Enemy came from a Time article about the street violence going on in Los Angeles during the early '90s, with a quote that stated "The generation of today is more afraid of living than dying". The team quickly became one of the more popular acts in the company; their wild brawling style, complete with a myriad of foreign objects and the inclusion of tables, made them one of the most feared teams in the company and it wasn't long before they won their first (of four) ECW Tag Team Championship. The Public Enemy were embraced by the majority of fans for their "East Coast feel good" style. At the BCCW "ORIGINS of VIOLENCE" Hype Show - The Public Enemy made a long-awaited and much-hyped return to the BCCW Arena, in order to answer the challenge of the Dudley Boyz. Following the showdown, Johnny Grunge grabbed the microphone and claimed that the past three years had been a "rollercoaster ride" for the team, and that "if you opened up our chest and looked at our hearts, there's only one thing stamped on it, and that's BCCW!!!" Grunge further thanked the Dudleys for house-sitting "the house that the Public Enemy built" while they were gone, and then invited everyone in attendance to join then in the ring for a post-show celebration. Despite their similar styles, swagger and all-important "table" gimmick - the Public Enemy and Dudley Boyz have never had that one big blow-off match. Until now. Good stiff match with alot of brawling, smash-mouth violence and insane table spots and tumbles. The Public Enemy were clearly the crowds sentimental favorites, and the Dudz really played the hostility to the hilt - nearly drawing the frenzied crowd into a riot with a few profane exchanges with audience members. But in the end, the better team was apparent. Rocco took the big bump off the top rope to a set of tables on the arena floor - Grunge ate the first 3D in BCCW history - and the Dudley Boyz earned the ire and disdain of the screaming BCCW audience. The Dudz only taunted and infuriated them further. Winner: THE DUDLEY BOYZ ________________________________________________________________ INTERLUDE...
Backstage, new Straight Edge Society (BCCW chapter) frontman Jake "the Snake" Roberts is with his charges Pogo the Clown and #1 WWW contender Serena. He is in the final preparation stages for Serena's big title shot against reigning champion Alexxis Neveah, coming up next. JAKE "the Snake" ROBERTS: I've got a bad habit of speaking my mind - because I know I'm right. When I'm right, I'm right and when I'm wrong, I'm right. It doesn't matter. But when you speak your mind in companies like WWE and TNA it doesn't go down well. It seems that you just can't tell some people these days that they're stupid f***s and to shut up. You get these TV executives who've never been in a damn fight in their lives and they think they know more about it than we do. Rehab ain't cheap bro! If you save the life of one human being you should be sainted for it. You don't just save one life, you save everybody around that person from suffering. Their family, their children.... tonight - I will save Serena by showing her what she's been missing... 3) SERENA (w/ SES) versus ALEXXIS NEVAEH(WWW Championship) [/size] versus Crowd solidly behind Alexxis and Serena screams at the crowd. The bell rings and they circle, they lock up and fight around the ropes with Serena getting the advantage in the corner. Serena with a clean break and another lockup, and Serena overpowers Alexxis down, but Alexxis counters and into the side headlock. Serena shoots her in and Alexxis comes back with a shoulderblock, but Serena takes the legs out and applies a front chancery. Alexxis powers her to the corner and drives the shoulder into Deeb then chops her. Alexxis poses for the crowd and wastes too much time as Serena avoids the chop and nails one of her own. Serena with backslide to get a near fall, and shoots her in again but Alexxis pulls her down by the hair. Alexxis hammered by Serena and then choked on the ropes. Alexxis with a snapmare takeover followed by a kick to the back and stands over Serena. Alexxis pulls her up and sends her to the corner, but Serena catches her with the sunset flip, but Alexxis in the ropes breaks the hold. Serena tries to fight back and sticks the thumb in the eye and into a rear chinlock with the knee in the back. Serena elbows her way out and Alexxis again gets pulled down by the hair. Serena chokes Alexxis on the ropes again and covers, but only gets a two. Alexxis pulls her up and sends her in, but misses the clothesline. Serena comes back with a huge spear and both ladies are down and hurting. Both slow to rise and now they’re slugging it out and Serena gets the advantage and sends Alexxis out. Outside the ring, brief but scary confrontation with the massive, murderous POGO the CLOWN and serpentine Jake Roberts, but Alexxis escapes unscathed (yet clearly rattled). Serena catches Alexxis with a shoulderblock and then the Northern Lights Suplex gets a near fall. Serena screams for Jake to the release the serpent, but for some reason he refuses. So Serena goes for a neckbreaker but Alexxis counters to a Suplex with the inside cradle for the victory!!! Post match, a dejected Serena is lambasted by Jake with harsh gestures and an acid tongue, before ultimately being embraced by the demented madman as she bursts into tears. Pogo watches on eagerly; licking his lips deliciously. WINNER: Alexxis Nevaeh _________________________________________________________ INTERLUDE...
(Trent Acid addressing his international opponents lack of credibility)TRENT ACID makes his way through the crowd and into the ring. Dressed down in ragged street clothes, he proceeds to attack security and run amuck. He manages to grab a mic and breathlessly exclaim to the crowd his bad intentions. Seems mumbled, jumbled and a touch confused. And as the cameras zoom in on his dilated pupils, he also appears borderline homicidal and psychopathic. Frothing at the mouth, he rants his frustration. Word on the streets is that BCCW is scouring the gutters, sewers and rotten underbelly of the death match circuit for participants in a major championship tournament they're planning to replace the fallen former champions Vic Grimes and New Jack. Does BCCW think Trent Acid isn't hardcore enough to warrant an invitation? Only a second-hand heresy account??? Starts getting that fiended out look in his eye... tonight he proves who's the most hardcore. Attacks a cameraman! Rips his shirt off, screaming and yelling and smashes the heavy camera over the mans head! Finally BCCW security makes it in for the save, and try to restrain the now ballistic Trent Acid. Suddenly, "Sell Out" by Reel Big Fish blares through the sound system and a man enters through the audience. He has a steel chair painted with the colors of the Australian flag, and a New Jack "OG" bandanna. It's Trent's international opponent of no credibility!!! [/color] 4) TRENT ACID versus RYAN "White Flash" DANGERFIELD [/size] versus Solid indy work by some of the most underrated names in the game. This match was placed on the card to appeal to workrate junkies, and it does not disappoint. Both men combine to provide a remarkably taut match, filled with psychology, ring awareness, and good old fashioned hard-nosed know how. After an exciting 7 minutes of action-packed wrestling, Ryan Dangerfield earns the victory with an Australian-themed version of NEW JACK's old 187 move (steel-chaired diving elbow drop - this time with an Aussie flag). A tribute to the OG of BCCW. Winner: RYAN "White Flash" DANGERFIELD Suddenly, "Death Rap" by Necro interrupts Dangerfield's victory celebration and he knows to get the hell out of the area. He flees, .leaving a defeated Trent Acid languishing in the ring. His associates "Sick" Nick Mondo and Madman Pondo are making their way down. And they don't look pleased. Cannibal Cartel confront and disavow Trent Acid. Mondo and Pondo are all up in Acid's face, berating and humiliating him. They slap him down, kick him and brutalize him on the mat. Rip the "Cannibal Cartel" gear from his body and whip him unmercifully with light tubes and strands of rusty barbed wire. Suddenly, to the make the save... 5) CANNIBAL CARTEL versus THE SHEEPHERDERS versus Xtreme Rules Death match. Mondo and Pondo continue to rep the Cannibal Cartel, and in honor of their displaced dictator ("Vicious" Vic Grimes) come brandishing pizza cutters. Awesome hardcore, blood-and-guts battle between these two legendary teams (one real, one purely fantasy-driven). These guys are NOT the Bushwackers, and the maniacal gleam in their eyes belies the look of two men who have passed the brink of insanity. Pondo and Mondo meanwhile, resemble two opposite ends of the fiendish spectrum - one plump, slovenly and disfigured - the other borderline anorexic, with a meth-head complexion. Both are wild and savage beyond any mortal reasoning - as they are enhanced by the fruits of the Cartel's core business (hardcore narcotic distribution). In in an insane match that features barbed wire, electric florescent light tubes and panes of glass, The Cannibal Cartel finished with a modified Hart Attack that left Luke Williams careening through a death trap concocted from various deadly hardcore accruements. Mondo and Pondo are declared the winners, and their frenzied drug-fueled antics continue long into the night. WINNER: The Cannibal Cartel ("Sick" Nick Mondo & Madman Pondo) ___________________________________________________________ Interlude...
Back to ringside, The Grand Wizard has made his magnanimous entrance. Accompanied by Bruiser Brody and Abdullah the Butcher, TGW has a mission statement to deliver. The King of the Death Match title is in a state of flux (with the apparent demise of the two former champions Vic Grimes and New Jack). As dungeon master and crypt keeper of the Monster Squad faction within Gold Dust Trio Inc, TGW plans to monopolize the KotDM title within his own stable. "Luke Graham" = "KING KONG" BRUISER BRODY "Little Bobby Backlund" = The Messiah "Mr McMahon" = MSD "Twist" by KORN cuts them off and the MESSIAH has appeared on the stage, brandishing a steel chair and a mic! Verbally duels with The Grand Wizard, and the challenge is laid: Messiah versus the Monster Squad right now for the right to compete later for the vacant KotDM crown. But The Messiah didn't come alone tonight... 6) MONSTAH SQUAD (Bruiser Brody & Abdullah the Butcher) w/ The Grand Wizard vs. THE MESSIAH... w/ EVAN BOURNE!!! [/size] versus Good, fast-paced high velocity encounter between two directly opposed forces. Speed versus power, accuracy versus wild abandon. Within the confines of the match, both Bourne and Messiah are able to exercise their creativity when it comes to unique double-team maneuvers and steel chair-assisted spots. But the voice of Gorilla Monsoon can soon be heard... "a good big man will always beat a good little man". Sure enough, the tides of change quickly shift and the Monster Squad starts to lay a pulverizing on Bourne & Messiah. Just when things seem on the brink of utter devastation, a white streak of lightning bolts to the ring. BLANG! Steel chair to Bruiser Brody! A running boot sends Abdullah the Butcher crashing from the ring! It's an ancient soldier! An unstoppable force! A Celtic warrior! It's SHEAMUS!!! For as quick as it takes for the crowd to register their shock, Sheamus swings Bruiser Brody into the "Irish Curse" side slam backbreaker and Evan Bourne capitalizes with a picture-perfect shooting star press from the top ropes for the 3 count!!! Messiah and Bourne win the match, with an assist from an unlikely source! TGW is shocked and horrified as he rallies up his dazed and confused charges, and Sheamus pounds his chest in the ring like a ravenous king of the jungle! WINNERS: The Messiah & Evan Bourne __________________________________________________________ Interlude...
Backstage, Unified Champion JOHN CENA is prepping for his big title defense tonight. The cards are stacked overwhelming against him, but he promises to persevere with a little bit of help from the Cenation... JOHN CENA: I’m a sports guy; I take a lot from sport. It truly shows, especially from broadcast sports, pure emotion and rock solid competition at its bare essential. Your career comes from greatness, from being surrounded by the best. When you’re surrounded by people who are that much better than you, you have two choices: You can shit the bed, and your performance can go to hell, or you can step up and rise to the occasion. Being in scenes that are so emotional, you have no other choice but to get involved. It is just very real, very genuine. However you find that—and every athlete will give you a different recipe for chicken soup—the fact of the matter is that it shows up, and however you can make it show up. For me, it was the people around me who brought it out of me, and I’m very thankful for that. It did wonders for me, and it lets everybody know that I’m not just a pro wrestler superman... I'm the BCCW Unified World Champion!!! __________________________________________________________ 7) BRUNO SAMMARTINO versus BATISTA (Hell in a Cell match)[/size] versus quote: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Batista is decked out in the badass white tights and pads tonight. Sammartino attacks to start and Batista recovers outside. Back in, they fight over a lockup and Batista overpowers him and adds a clothesline in the corner, and dumps Sammartino with a clothesline. They brawl outside and Sammartino gets rammed into the cage a few times, but recovers and sends Batista into the post. Sammartino adds a necksnap as Batista tries to head back into the ring, then pinballs him into the cage for a wicked bump from Batista. Batista takes over and pulls out his trusty toolbox, finding a chain there. Now what would a chain be doing in a toolbox? I'm tempted to deduct 1/4* for that. Anyway, Batista beats the hell out of Sammartino with it and hangs him on the top rope with it, forcing Sammartino to necksnap out of it. With that accomplished, he proceeds to whipping Batista like the proverbial dog with the chain, which sets up Batista ramming his back into the post and cage in succession. This draws blood on Sammartino, who responds by coming back with a spinebuster. MSD's analysis of the situation: "He may be able to capitalize, but maybe not." How truly insightful. Sammartino does, however, capitalize, by grabbing a steel chair wrapped in barbed wire.
Batista absorbs some nasty shots with that weapon, and then comes back with a lariat and grabs the chair himself, continuing the theme of the match thus far. He absolutely lays into Sammartinos face with it, which is pretty cool. Then we get the classic "grinding the barbed wire into his face" spot, followed by the equally-classic "cheese grater on the cage" spot. Batista adds a javelin into the cage as Sammartino bleeds buckets all over the place. Back into the ring, although with Batista's luck out there tonight I'm not sure why he'd want to head back in, Batista pounds away in the corner. And indeed, he misses a charge and hits the post, allowing Sammartino to take over again. Shoulda stayed on the floor, Dave. Sammartino tries KICK WHAM SIDEWALK SLAM on the chair, but only gets as far as KICK WHAM before Dave backdrops out of it. They slug it out and Batista powerslams him on the barbed wire chair, and that gets two. MSD gives him a nice backhanded compliment by noting that "he may be a no good bastard, but that was a hell of a powerslam." Not the kind of thing you can have printed on a Xmas card, but good enough. Batista grabs the chain and goes for the kill, but Sammartino DDTs him on the chair and Dave starts his own river of crimson. And now, because YOU demanded it, Sammartino pulls a sledgehammer out from under the ring. What all is UNDER there? Matt Striker of course notes that it's as legal as a wristlock. I'd like to see a weapons match where everything is legal BUT wristlocks, just to hear what his analogy would be. They slug it out and Batista goes for the demon bomb, but Sammartino backdrops out of that, but Batista hits him right in HIS sledgehammer. If you know what I mean.
And again, Batista uses the "anything you can do" mentality and gets the hammer for himself, but runs into a chain-assisted punch from Sammartino. That gets two. However, when Sammartino tries to come off the top with the chain, Batista holds up the hammer and Sammartino lands on it. Well, they're 1-1 now, I guess. Normally I hate that spot because it involves holding up a boot to block a move that couldn't conceivably do any damage even if it wasn't blocked. However, seeing Sammartino spit out blood upon impact made it pretty cool. Batista gives him a ride to the floor, via the top rope and Utica, and adds a shot to the stairs for good measure. Then in case Sammartino didn't quite get enough, he grabs the stairs and rams them into Sammartinos head. I was hoping for something more visually dramatic like THROWING them at Sammartinos face, but that might be a bit too dangerous. Into the ring, and now the base of the stairs gets set up in the corner, and Sammartino meets it head on a few times. Luckily his Neanderthal forehead gives him a few inches of extra padding. With Sammartino dead to the world, Batista gives him the thumbs down and goes for the powerbomb, but Sammartino goes low and the over-the-shoulder backbreaker follows. That gets two, as someone actually gets to kick out of the deadliest move in wrestling. They actually shouldn't have Batista do the "thumbs down" signal unless the move is gonna hit. Sammartino goes for another sidewalk slam on the stairs, but Batista counters with a NASTY spinebuster on them instead. That's gonna hurt in the morning, man. He tries to finish with the powerbomb, as Sammartino grabs the sledgehammer in an effort to counter the move, but he can't swing it in time and Batista finishes him at 26:57 to retain the title. Simply brutal and hellaciously violent, it ruled not only because of all the crazy violence, but because both guys exchanged stuff rather than one guy taking a beating (ie, Batista) for 20 minutes and then making a comeback. It was probably Batista's best singles match, well, ever. ****1/4
** SCOTT KEITH **WINNER: Batista _________________________________________________________ TRUSTBUSTERS versus BLK MOBB (BCCW Tag Team titles) versus Very intriguing clash of styles. The brash, arrogant and flashy "hood n****z", the BLK MOBB brought style and pizzazz against the Trust Busters classically-engrained technique. Trust Busters clearly had the size and weight advantage, and used that strength with alot of high-velocity throws, beals, slams and suplexes. But the MOBB were able to answer with high-risk, fast paced double team assaults and confounding aerial wizardry. Story of the match has Trust Busters controlling the tempo and pace, until the Mobb's highwire electricity significantly changed the tone. Soon all hell had broken loose, and bodies were soaring and flying around the ring with reckless abandon (whether violently suplexed or catapulted on their own). In the end, Lou Thesz wound up on the wrong end of a BLK Jeez stomp that also tweaked Sabian's ankle, allowing Swagger to ultimately squeeze out a submission victory with his ankle lock (while Ruckus cleared Lou Thesz out once and for all with a flying space tiger drop). So Trust Busters win the match and retain their titles, but just barely. They had clearly been taken to the limit more so than any other opponent. Even the crowd was forced to give both teams their due. But the big surprising twist at the end of the match came when a sore, yet humbled BLK MOBB approached the tag team champions and gracefully offered their hands in defeat. The Trust Busters played to the crowd a bit to gauge their reaction (they wanted it) and the two teams embraced in a scene of mutual respect. HUGE crowd pop for that. Have the BLK Mobb officially crossed over to fan favorites yet? WINNERS (and still BCCW Tag Team Champions): The Trustbusters ___________________________________________________________ 8) JOHN CENA versus MISTER JOSEPH "TOOTS" MONDT (Unified World Championship match)[/size] versus Size and strength is negated between the two opponents, despite Cena's more streamlined appearance. Mondt is just more practical, with a strong base and grappling technique. Very hard to move or budge. When Cena finally starts getting the advantage (but before he can execute the humiliating 5-knuckle shuffle), Gold Dust Trio Inc associate (and McMahon Jr Mafia don) TRIPLE H makes his ringside appearance. He's answered on Cena's behalf by a black-and-red clad MIL MASCARAS (in honor of the Brockton Boxers home team colors). With a massive flying leap, Mascaras and Triple H tumble out of the equation. Match continues. But Mondt has another ace up his sleeve, when through the audience - Ed "the Strangler" Lewis catches a visibly winded Cena in his smothering rear-naked choke! But before Cena's lights get shut off, Masahiko Kimura is ringside for the save! He and arch-rival Strangler Lewis clash, grasp and brawl all throughout the Slaughtahouse - swarmed by a bevy of security guards trying to pry them apart. Match continues in the ring between Mondt and Cena. Ref bump. Finally, Cena overpowers an armlock into an attempted Attitude Adjustment... but DESMOND WOLFE makes the run-in and lowblow for the save! Wolfe swarms Cena with kicks and stomps, before locking in a dangerous submission maneuver. John Cena is struggling in vain, with both Toots and Wolfe stretching his body beyond mortal means. Wolfe releases the hold as Mondt drags the ref over into position. Desmond Wolfe frames Cena's mighty arm within the confines of a steel chair, and Mondt ascends to the top rope - promising to jump off onto the chair and crush the champs arm. Suddenly, some very familiar guitar strains rip through the arena sound system... "I'm a real American... fight for the rights of everyman..." Introducing.... The Immortal HULK HOGAN!!!!!!!!! He's in the BCCW building! Bobby Heenan is on commentary, and his famous "BUT WHO'S SIDE IS HE ON???" refrain can be heard. Dozens of red and yellow signs can be spotted in the audience. The look of shock and awe on Mondt and Wolfe's faces belies their absolute surprise. He runs into the ring to disrupt their potentially career-ending assault on Cena. But will he turn right around and drop the big leg on the downed champion? NO!!!!! Hogan gives the finger-wagging "no, no, not in MY house" look to Wolfe and Mondt! Wolfe tries to throw a punch - blocked! A big series of right hands leaves Desmond rocked and ejected from the ring! Mondt from behind with the double axe handle... to no effect! Hogan gives him the "YOUUUUU!" and the crowd responds with explosive resound! Whip into the ropes! Big boot! Huge legdrop to Mister Mondt! Cena's finally up and goes face to face with Hogan... they embrace and Hogan cups his ear for the crowds approval! One Attitude Adjustement/STFU later and Mister Mondt is frantically tapping out! Hogan gets the ref back together and 3 seconds later, Cena is the winner!!! What a shocking ending here tonight in BCCW!!! Mister Mondt and Desmond Wolfe attempt to regroup outside the ring, as the crowd response is absolutely deafening! The champ John Cena and Hulk Hogan do the famous double pose-down to end the show, celebrate and appease the audience. Gold Dust Trio Inc has been foiled once again!!! WINNER (and STILL BCCW Unified Champion): John Cena ________________________________________________________ CREDITS: BOBBY HEENAN: Ryan Droste of WrestleView.com, November 14th, 2002 BUDDY ROGERS: Prism Sports Special WADE BARRETT: SLAM!
