CCW Superstar Saturday on SCA, episode 11
The camera pans the Andy Kaufman Studios in Dothan, Alabama, and then comes upon the commentary team of Gorilla Monsoon and the Honky Tonk Man.
GM: We have an exciting show for you today, but what form it’s going to take remains to be seen. Coming out of the monumental MUW dispersal draft we have an influx of new talent and some talent has unfortunately left us.
HTM: Ah, you’re burying the lead Monsoon. Ron Fuller might have a head full of pudding, but I have to admit the Gauntlet WarGames is a concept that will revolutionize the industry as we know it.
GM: WarGames has two rings enclosed by a steel cage. Typically two teams compete with one member entering over a certain time frame until all members of both teams are in the cage. But this version will see two whole teams start and a new team entering once all members of a team are eliminated. And we’re told there will be eight teams, but who those teams…
A voice calls from off screen, “I’ll tell you who one of those teams will be. Us.”
Woman then emerges on screen with Butcher, Blade and Southeastern Heavyweight Champion Dave Bautista. Dave takes a microphone.
DB: First thing I want to say is to Ric Flair. You always say to be the man, you have to beat the man. I did that at Maximum Carnage. And I did it clean against the dirtiest player in the game so you wouldn’t have anything to grumble about in the lost. So, get to the back of the damn line.
GM: We also know that the winning team gets any title shots they want, but you are already the top champion here in CCW.
DB: But, I’m not the top champion in the Mash-Up Wrestling universe. Right now, Samoa Joe is the MUW Men’s Champion and by winning the WarGames Gauntlet I’ll be able to bring him here Thanksgiving night.
HTM: Woman, unless you’re joining your team in the cage, you seem a man short.
Woman: Don’t think I couldn’t Honky Tonk Man. Triple B means we’re the baddest, the boldest and the best there is in professional wrestling today. And we are getting even badder, bolder and better with the addition of Brian Cage.
Cage lumbers out, flexes and screams.
Woman: And he will show you want he can do in the ring, right now.
GM: Let’s throw it to our new colleague Brandi Rhodes for introductions for our first bout.

Brian Cage vs. Bobby Fulton
Referee: Joey Marella
At the bell, Cage drives Fulton into the near corner with a charging shoulder block. He rams several shoulder thrusts into Fulton’s midsection. He picks Fulton up and brings him out of the corner with a twisting spinebuster. Cage jumps to his feet, flexes and yells. Fulton stumbles up and into a one armed swinging neckbreaker. He picks Fulton up and gives him a bucklebomb. Just to show what he can do, Cage finishes with a double jump moonsault.
Winner: Brian Cage by pinfall

vs.
Eli Drake vs. Tommy Rogers
Referee: Aubrey Edwards
Referee: Aubrey Edwards
They lockup to start. Drake uses his superior size to drive Rogers into the near corner. He gives a clean break. They lock up again and Rogers is driven back again. Drake gives a clean break. Rogers quickly skips to the second rope and tries to surprise Drake with a double axe handle, but he catches him with a bearhug and turns it into a belly to belly suplex. He pulls Rogers up into a front powerslam and follows with a spinning facebuster. Gravy Train finishes.
Winner: Eli Drake by pinfall
Drake goes over to the commentary table.
ED: Eli Drake is here in Continental Championship Wrestling. And I know everybody here is trying to put a team together for the WarGames Gauntlet or trying to hook their wagon to an existing stable. Well, this Perpetual Motion Machine of Badassery don’t need anybody but Mr. Number One to rely on. I know there’s another lone wolf here in CCW who doesn’t need anybody either and that’s the CCW Gulf Coast Champion, Sheamus.
He wins the title belt in a battle royal and says give me somebody. He beats Sting and says give me somebody. He beats Big Show and says give me somebody. Well, I’m somebody and if you can’t see I’m the challenger you’ve been waiting for, then you’re a dummy, yeah. Now give me the product placement.
A candy bar is thrown to Drake from off stage and he catches it.
ED: WarGames Gauntlet on Halloween night is brought to you by the only candy bar you want to see in your trick or treat bag, Clark Bars. It’s real milk chocolate with a real peanut butter crunch. And if the old lady down the street doesn’t give you one of these when you ring her doorbell, you slap those circus peanuts out of her hand and say get with the program dummy, get some Clark Bars. They’re the greatest chocolate bars of all time and that’s just not my opinion. That’s just a fact of life.
Commercial
Ric Flair comes out to the commentary station and gets a microphone.
RF: I heard Dave Bautista out here earlier tonight talking about how to be the man, you have to beat the man. Woo! Did he beat the man at Maximum Carnage? He did. But winning a battle, isn’t winning the war. And if I need to win the WarGames Gauntlet to get another shot at him and that title belt. Then that’s what I’m going to do.
HTM: You and what army, Flair?
RF: This army right here, Honky. Woo!
Flair holds up four fingers and the crowd pops.
RF: I made a call to a longtime friend who was only briefly a member of the Four Horsemen and I thought he deserved a chance to really make his mark in the premier faction ever in wrestling history. Get out here… Curt Hennig.
CH: Triple B reveals Brian Cage earlier here tonight. He’s got more muscles than brains and that wouldn’t be hard to accomplish. It takes more than sheer strength to get it done in that ring and nobody is better between those ropes than Mr. Perfect. Maybe one day, I’ll privilege you with a tutorial.
RF: Then I called a team I’ve had my eyes on for a really long time. I’ve heard people say they were born to be Horsemen. Now they get the chance. Come out here…Dash Wilder and Scott Dawson.
SD: When we got the call from Ric Flair, we couldn’t believe it. We thought it was a prank, but then we realized it was no joke. And neither is the revival. Midnight Rockers, we have our eyes on you and the Gulf Coast Tag Team Titles around your waists. First, WarGames, then we come for you. But now we go to the ring.
Vs.
The Revival (Scott Dawson and Dash Wilder) vs. Badd Company (Pat Tanaka and Paul Diamond)
Referee: Joey Marella
Referee: Joey Marella
Dawson and Tanaka start. Tanaka tries a kick, but Dawson grabs his leg, spins him around and gives him a reverse atomic drop. He catches Pat from behind for a backdrop suplex. Tag to Wilder. Dash stomps away at Tanaka. Suplex. Tanaka rolls away into his corner and tags Diamond. Paul ducks under a clothesline and comes back the other way with a shoulder block that puts Wilder down. He misses an elbow drop off the ropes. Wilder with a seated dropkick. Another suplex. He tags Dawson. Wilder gets Diamond in a bearhug and Dawson nails a diving leg drop. He covers for two.
Into the ropes, Diamond gets a flying crossbody to end a crisscross sequence. He tags Tanaka. Diamond holds Dawson and Pat hits a chop to the top of the head from the top turnbuckle. Into the ropes, and Tanaka gets a double chop to put Dawson down. A fisherman’s buster gets two. Pat tags Paul. They hit the slingshot DDT for a two count. Dawson slides out of a running powerslam. Diamond hits the corner and bounces out for Scott to take him on his shoulders for a Samoan drop. Tag to Wilder. Drop toehold into a running elbow drop. Tanaka runs in and straight into a Shatter Machine. Shatter Machine for Diamond and that’s it.
Winner: The Revival by pinfall of Wilder on Diamond
Commercial
The new Four Horsemen are met in the back by Ronnie Garvin.
RG: You said you were making phone calls, Flair. I didn’t hear my phone ring.
RF: Ronnie, I appreciate you being by my side the past few weeks. But that was one thing and this is another.
RG: You might not have stabbed me in the back in the ring. But this is a sin of omission.
Curt Hennig steps up to get between Garvin and Flair.
CH: Ronnie Garvin as a member of the Four Horsemen is as ridiculous as Ronnie Garvin with a title belt around his waist.
RG: You want to take this Wild Card belt from me Hennig. I’ll give you the chance next week. Every Wild Card match has to have a stipulation and I get to call it as champion. I’ll make it easy for you. Let’s say win by finisher, your Perfect-Plex against my Stone Cutter.
CH: You’re on.
We go back to the studio where Andy Kaufman is at the commentary position.
GM: Andy Kaufman, you came out of Maximum Carnage with only Yokozuna in your management and egg on your face.
AK: You will treat me with respect when I come out here, Mr. Monsoon, if you want to keep your job. You can learn something from your colleague, Mr. Tonk Man, here.
Kevin Nash, Vinnie Vegas, Big Daddy Cool Diesel, Oz, Master Blaster and whatever other name he thinks of is banned for life, plus 20 years, from CCW. And Big Bubba Rogers was given chance after chance to take out Sting and failed to do it. But, tonight, my Yokozuna will get the job done. Sting will taste fear and know defeat.
vs.
Sting vs. Yokozuna
Referee: Tommy Young
Referee: Tommy Young
Yokozuna attacks Sting at the bell from behind. He whips him into the ropes and knocks him down with a thrust kick. He drops an elbow for a two count. Sting springs up and they lock up. Sting comes out of it with a headlock. Yoko pushes him out of it into the ropes. Sting comes off to eat a clothesline. Yoko drops another elbow for another two count. Sting springs up again and they lock up. They go into the ropes and Young calls for a break. Yoko gives it, but with a shove in the chest. Sting shoves Yoko back. He throws a clothesline that Sting ducks under and runs to the ropes. He ducks another clotheslines, then baseball slides under Yoko’s legs coming back the other way. Sting pops up and rocks Yokozuna with a series of punches. Sting then comes off the ropes with a clothesline that has Yoko wobbly, but doesn’t knock him down. He hits another. Yoko is rubber legged. Sting comes off the ropes with a flying clothesline and finally puts Yokozuna down.
Yoko is sitting in the corner and Sting gets a broncobuster. He lines Yoko up and lets him stand to land the Stinger Splash. He whips Yoko to the far corner, but it gets reversed. Yokozuna charges, right into an outstretched boot. Sting comes off the second rope with a double axe handle that puts Yoko down. He turns Yoko over and puts the Scorpion Deathlock on those massive legs. Yokozuna seems close to tapping out, when the Gulf Coast Six Man Tag Team Champions, the Powers of Fear run in. They clobber Sting from behind.
Winner: Sting by disqualification via interference
Andy Kaufman has a microphone at ringside.
AK: That’s right. The Powers of Fear are now at the disposal of Andy Kaufman. I finally have a stable worthy of my managerial skills and, combined with Yokozuna, will be the team to win the WarGames Gauntlet match. Nobody can stop us now.
Kaufman has his back to the entranceway. He suddenly feels himself raised off the ground and high overhead by…the Ultimate Warrior. Rushing to the ring to help sting are Kerry Von Erich and the British Bulldog Davey Boy Smith.
The Powers of Fear are driven from the ring. The Ultimate Warrior has dropped Kaufman and taken his microphone.
UW: The Warrior gods have decreed that I must enter the WarGames Gauntlet. But to do that I need to find warriors equal to stand beside me. Sting and I have walked down that road before. Davey Boy Smith has walked with Sting. Kerry Von Erich is a Warrior of the Modern Day. Sometimes to go forward you must go backwards. To achieve the future, you must reach to the past. Once, I was a Blade Runner. But together, we are the Ultimate Blade Runners!
The camera fades as Kaufman screams ‘no’ from the floor.
