David Saturn-"Well this is fascinating a shot of Jason Howard drinking beer..."
Neal Steal-"You don't complain about Slop doing it...looks like Jason has something to say..."
We see Jason Howard backstage drinking beer...
I have been out of action for the past few weeks due to contract problems.But now I am back with a fatter check and a bigger hunger. A hunger that has to be filled with championships and victory...and that is why starting next week I am ready to take on any jabroni who is willing to fight me. Either that or any moron dumb enough who thinks he will get a cheap victory. But until then I'm going to be training and getting better so i can make a impression that no one will be able to forget. I am the rising star of professional wrestling and your future champion....
(Jason has a big smirk on his face as he continues to drink his beer.)
David Saturn-"Well I guess we might be seeing Jason back in the ring next week then...that was an original insult jabroni..."
Neal Steal-"That was a very commonly used word in wrestling circles before one person monopolised it..."
David Saturn-"I just hope Jason didn't let anybody slip something in that beer..."
Neal Steal-"Oh shut up Saturn..."
David Saturn-"Once again though we hear comments about wrestlers having contract problems. Jason did wrestle a couple of weeks ago presumably without a full contract at the time and that was for a title tournament! I know Jason wasn't the favourite or anything but still..."
Neal Steal-"He performed well against Fa Sho who got a very lucky pin on him..."
David Saturn-"It was a clean pin! Can't believe I'm reducing myself to asking you but any idea who this head of talent relations is Walters heard rumours about since you claim to know everything what goes on around here..."
Neal Steal-"No...I mean yes I do but not going to tell you..."
David Saturn-"That's because you don't know a thing..."
From Black River Falls, Wisconsin...Tracy...ADKINS!!!
David Saturn-"Wonder what this maniac has in store for us tonight..."
Neal Steal-"Well at least he's not talking to a hatchet..."
From Venice, Italy...Sergio...ESPOSITO!!!
David Saturn-"Sergio Esposito claims he has spoken to Roberto Maggia. At least his manager did but I heard Roberto hasn't said a word to either!"
Neal Steal-"Well why would he make it up you barely know Sergio...I hear he's a fine young athlete..."
David Saturn-"Its a strange way to try and kiss up to someone claiming you spoke to them. At least you kiss Royal's ass directly Steal! An angry look by Adkins there he wouldn't have been happy about being knocked out in the first round of the tournament..."
Both men are slow to lock up as Tracy stares a hole through Sergio. Upon lockup Sergio backs Tracy against the ropes and the ref quickly breaks the hold. Tracy moans at the ref for some reason probably because he thinks there's no need to have officials simply wanting to tear his opponents apart. Another slow lockup and both men struggle to apply a side headlock on the other.
Neal Steal-"I like the look of Sergio but I'm afraid he has impossible shoes to fill..."
David Saturn-"In what way?"
Neal Steal-"Well Mr Megala is the greatest Italian wrestler of all time how can Sergio meet that standard in his career?"
David Saturn-"Well how do you know he isn't a better wrestler than Megala. You haven't seen Sergio wrestle!"
Neal Steal-"Well you don't see wrestlers like Mr Megala...or for that matter Mr Royal every day do you?"
David Saturn-"That's true and we couldn't possibly say how good Sergio is. So even though that might be unlikely at least lets watch him wrestle first!"
Sergio gains the advantage after a few seconds but Tracy backs him against the ropes. Sergio is then whipped forward to the opposite side and both men charge off in different directions criss crossing with the other. Sergip drops down, Adkins leaps over, charges back but is taken down with a hiptoss! Tracy recklessly charges back and Sergio delivers another hiptoss.
David Saturn-"There's Luigi Musolini at ringside the manager of Sergio...no idea where Mario is this week..."
Neal Steal-"Luigi is a very common Italian name...please don't make jokes like that..."
David Saturn-"Coming from the guy who just claimed his Mother was dying to avoid someone..."
Sergio keeps hold of the arm applying an armbar. Tracy fights up to one knee and Sergio clubs him acros the back. Adkins fights all the way to his feet and Sergio twists on the arm really clamping on the armbar. Tracy backs Sergio against the ropes again repeating the whip he did moments ago...Adkins ducks a clothesline but Sergio charges back and sends Adkins flying over the top rope!
Neal Steal-"My Mother is dying!"
David Saturn-"Is your Father alright or will he be stricken down with some illness next time Slick wrestles?"
Adkins hit the floor hard and the ref tells Sergio's manager Luigi Musolini to stay away from Adkins as he approaches. If Luigi was wise he would stay away from Adkins of his own accord. Adkins is a grade A lunatic! Tracy gets back in the ring but Luigi then begins insulting Tracy from the outside trying to distract him verbally instead.
David Saturn-"Bringing up Roberto Maggia again Musolini claimed that Roberto wanted Sergio to take him out. Once again I've heard no such thing and I haven't seen one word from Roberto about Tracy Adkins..."
Neal Steal-"You mean you haven't HEARD one word..."
David Saturn-Ok then I did not HEAR anything Roberto may have said about Adkins. No idea who hired Tracy and I'm certainly not going to ask him..."
Adkins surprisingly manages to ignore Luigi instead clubbing Sergio across the back while he was foolishly insulting the crowd taking his eyes off Adkins. Uppercut by Adkins clearly aimed at Esposito's eye drawing some admonishment from the referee. Sergio drops to his knees and Tracy pulls him up ramming him head first into the corner.
David Saturn-"Looking at this manager Musolini I can't help but think he dresses like certain people in Italy..."
Neal Steal-"He's very well dressed but not as well as Mr Megala..."
David Saturn-"I never said Megala did I? I was referring to a powerful group of people in Italy...I bet he's connected...got that look about him..."
Neal Steal-"You don't know what you're talking about..."
Tracy goes for a scoopslam but Sergio blocks and delivers a slam of his own! Sergio then charges off the ropes executing a perfectly timed flying elbow drop. Maybe he should have tried going to the top rope it would have had more power behind it. Sergio with the cover...1,2...and Adkins kicks out. Sergio forgot to hook the leg.
David Saturn-"Maybe a rookie mistake there by Sergio...forgot to hook the leg..."
Neal Steal-"Bet you take pleasure in pointing that out..."
David Saturn-"Why would I when I barely know the man for christ sake? Look at that manager Musolini again...not exactly sportsmanlike tactics...still that's not something we see often here is it?"
Sergio complains to the referee once again taking his eyes off Adkins. Sergio is clearly confident but maybe to the point of complacency. Adkins attacks from behind but Luigi climbs on the apron. The ref is distracted as Adkins clubs Sergio hard across the forehead. It looks like Sergio is bleeding slightly underneath the eye from that uppercut earlier.
Neal Steal-"I hope the referee is not thinking of stopping this match because of the blood..."
David Saturn-"Its only slight bleeding. The only reason we saw a match stopped due to blood a couple of weeks back was because it was gushing out. That as well as the fact you have to be deemed incapable of defending yourself...myself and Walters had an actual intelligent conversation about defensive wrestling Steal. A refreshing change to have an intelligent conversation out here..."
Tracy then shoves Sergio forward knocking Sergio right into the distracted referee! The impact also knocks Luigi off the apron! The referee is down and Adkins clubs Sergio across the back. Shot to the ribs by Sergio and he rolls Adkins up...but the referee is down! Luigi enters the ring as Adkins reverses the pinfall! Both men have had clear 3 couunts here!
Neal Steal-"Come on ref hurry up you have cost both of them the match!"
David Saturn-"Oh what a blatant cheap shot...and he's been caught!"
The ref then gets up just as Luigi stomps on Adkins breaking up the count. The referee calls for the bell and Esposito has been disqualified!
WINNER BY DISQUALIFICATION: TRACY ADKINS
Tracy hits Sergio from behind then starts stomping on his head. Then he rolls outside the ring and grabs handcuffs and a steel chair then rolls back in the ring. Tracy pushes Luigi off Sergio then cuffs Sergios hands behind his back sets up the steel chair then delivers a drop toe hold on the chair. Then Tracy rolls out of the ring and sets up a table on the outside and Luigi comes in the ring and confronts Tracy telling him enough is enough.
David Saturn-"Maybe not the best idea from Luigi here..."
Neal Steal-"You have to admire his guts though..."
David Saturn-"Ah yes because you value people like that so highly don't you?"
Tracy kicks him in the belly and then picks him up for an impaler and sends Luigi crashing through the table. The camera zooms in on Tracy and sees that he's smiling over his work as he rolls out the ring and leaves.
David Saturn-"You just don't mess with Tracy! Then again I'm not sure you should mess with this Musolini either. I bet he knows some very dangerous people and Adkins better watch his back..."
Neal Steal-"Are you saying Tracy can't defend himself...never heard you show concern for Adkins. Plus I know what you're implying about Luigi and that is slander..."
David Saturn-"Well I wouldn't feel any sympathy for Adkins at all but he may have made a vry dangerous enemy here...wait a moment what's that?"
Neal Steal-"What's what?"
David Saturn-"This time its MY producer...we have different ones remember Steal? For obvious reasons...anyway apparently Al Walters is backstage with some news for us..."
We fade to the back where we see Al Walters with a mic in hand.
Al Walters:"Ladies and gentleman, my guest at this time is the newly named number one contender to the AWR Championship, Kris “Fa Sho” Destiny."
The camera pans revealing Destiny.
Al Walters:"Kris, you have a huge opportunity coming up in a matter of weeks. Could I get your thoughts?"
Destiny:"Last week, what Royal did, well it was one of the most disgraceful…"
Before Destiny can get any further, Anthony Royal comes from out of nowhere and blasts Fa Sho with his championship belt. Royal then kneels over the fallen Destiny and spits right in his face, reminiscent of what Destiny did to him last week. He then looks at the belt, now resting on his shoulder, and smirks before walking away without saying a word.
*************************************************************************************************************
MOMENTS AGO:
We see a repeat of the sudden ambush by Anthony Royal. Medics are seen checking Sho backstage for any concussion. The scene cuts back to a smirking Steal and a furious Saturn...
David Saturn-"Attaboy champ! What a nobel move hitting a man in the head with a belt!"
Neal Steal-"Sho deserved it he was badmouthing Royal..."
David Saturn-"He barely had a chance to speak!"
Neal Steal-"They did a quick rehearsal of that interview before they conducted it live. Sho made slanderous comments and Mr Royal was notified before he repeated them live on air..."
David Saturn-"With the exception of Roberto Maggia addressing us every bit of this show has been live tonight!"
Neal Steal-"Well yes like I said Sho's slanderous comments never made it to the air..."
David Saturn-"Oh shut up!"
From Los Angeles, California...Killa...Jay...COMBS!!!
David Saturn-"Well here comes Jay Combs returning to the ring after a 2 year hiatus..."
Neal Steal-"He will certainly have to be fresh against Gunner and take his mind away from his fiancée and manager Jeanette Lewis."
David Saturn-"Surprised she isn't out here. I wouldn't be surprised if she had a financial investment in Combs before it became more physical..."
Neal Steal-"Are you saying he has been hitting her?"
David Saturn-"I said physical! As in sexual relations. Would you shut up!"
From Portland, Oregon...Gunner...HUGHES!!!
Neal Steal-"If you don't like my comments hit me then..."
David Saturn-"Love that wouldn't you? To see me fired? I'm not going to hit you I somehow managed not to for 12 years so I think I can control myself..."
Neal Steal-"Gunner has a possible make or break test tonight. I like both of these men could go either way. That hand won't help Combs though..."
David Saturn-"Oh well done you noticed his hand is injured...really on your game tonight..."
Both men are quick to lockup despite neither knowing quite what to expect. This is a big test of Gunner Hughes credentials tonight. He easily defeated the little known Zane Byers but lost to the veteran Slick Doctor. Tonight he takes on another experienced wrestler in Jay Combs who like Slick is another former NIWF World champion. Combs has a heavily bandaged hand from an accident earlier this week...
David Saturn-"Combs has a temper which is how he injured that hand foolishly. Gunner certainly looks like a man who can keep his cool..."
Neal Steal-"You were calling Gunner a hired thug more or less saying his activities are illegal..."
David Saturn-"Well he denied it and maybe he's right who knows? Then again maybe he only thinks murder is illegal and kicking the asses of vulnerable people is fine..."
Neal Steal-"He's a God fearing man...personally I'm not that way inclined but to each his own..."
David Saturn-"Ah yes you never judge anyone..."
Side headlock applied by Combs and Gunner backs him against the ropes then whips him across the ring. Combs rebounds and knocks Gunner off his feet with a shoulder charge. Both these men are about the same size but Combs is about 3 inches taller. Gunner starts to rise to his feet but drops down to the mat as Combs charges at him attempting a knee to the face.
Neal Steal-"I'm surprised Gunner didn't make it to wrestling sooner...far more profitable than other sports..."
David Saturn-"Ah yes because its all about money in your world...these 2men have had very different paths. Gunner very much in the shadows but Combs has been openly successful winning an Oscar in recent years..."
Combs leaps over Gunner and as Hughes looks for a back body drop Combs kicks him in the ribs. That may have worked against Byers but it won't work against Combs this early in the match. Too obvious and Gunner made the same mistake last week against Slick. Still he seems like a very fast learner. Combs whips Gunner off the ropes and tries a back body drop himself.
David Saturn-"A bit of reverse psychology from Combs there...I hear he claims Silvio personally brought him in..."
Neal Steal-"They had differences in the past but I think Mr Megala thought Combs was a good wrestler. Even if they had that unfortunate sjybox incident..."
David Saturn-"Once again though you insist Silvio has been busy...maybe Combs just sees it as a boast claiming Silvio recruited him personally...don't know why..."
Neal Steal-"There could be no greater honour Saturn..."
Combs was probably trying to surprise Gunner who wouldn't have been expecting him to go for the same move he just attempted. Gunner leaps over Combs who turns round and is powerslammed to the mat! Combs is up and charges at Gunner who is quick to react hiptossing Combs to the mat. Gunner then turns his attention to the injured hand for the first time in the match clawing and ripping at the bandage.
David Saturn-"He may be cool and he's certainly very articulate considering his background but he has animalistic tendencies this Gunner Hughes..."
Neal Steal-"What do you mean his background?"
David Saturn-"Well maybe I was a bit judgemental there but usually hired muscle aren't that bright. Not the case with Gunner..."
Gunner grabs hold of the hair as Combs tries to wriggle his hand loose. Combs groans in pain as Gunner stretches the injured hand. It might not be broken but for all we know there could be damage to the ligaments in that hand. Depends how deep the cut is as Gunner continues to pull and tug at the hand. Another hard yank by Gunner and Combs tries to break loose by rolling to the mat.
David Saturn-"Tremendous focus by Gunner last week he did get slightly flustered. Looks like he is determined not to this week..."
Neal Steal-"Poor Combs he trained so hard then was unlucky to pick up an injury..."
David Saturn-"Which was his own fault. Crowd probably seem a bit quiet here viewers but neither of these men are fan favourites. They are not taking their eyes off the match though this capacity crowd here in Portland..."
Gunner is too focused on the hand to apply an armbar but drops his knee across the outstretched arm of Combs instead. Gunner continues to apply pressure on the hand and while mat wrestling may not usually be his style it makes sense to apply all kinds of holds on an injured area. Combs is on his feet but Gunner simply won't let go of that hand. Its almost like a clamp...maybe Gunner's mother taught him when he was a young kid who knows?
Neal Steal-"Maybe Combs made a mistake wrestling with that hand..."
David Saturn-"Well unlike you Steal they are both real men's men. I'm sure Combs has wrestled through worse in the past..."
Neal Steal-"Not in his first match back though with all the ring rust..."
David Saturn-"I don't believe it. Some actual wrestling analysis from Steal that makes a bit of sense..."
Neal Steal-"Oh shut up!"
Another yank on the hand and then Gunner decides to let go whipping Combs off the ropes. Gunner goes for a armdrag on the same side he's just been working on. Combs blocks and clotheslines Gunner with his other arm! Combs waits for Gunner to get to his feet getting a quick breather then knocks him down again with more momentum.
David Saturn-"As we know Gunner isn't the type to pick out a bodypart generally. He just pulverised the life out of Byers...still he knows Combs is no pushover..."
Neal Steal-"This crowd should raise the volume a bit show a bit of appreciation here!"
David Saturn-"Like I said neither are fan favourites..."
Gunner pulls himself up by the ropes which was probably an error since the more experienced Combs immediately chokes him across the middle rope. The ref breaks it up and Combs protests to no avail. Why do so many wrestlers in this company moan about the rules being applied? Combs whips Gunner off the ropes, scoops him up and delivers a backbreaker.
David Saturn-"Combs needs to keep his cool...really on the verge of losing it...hope our cameramen are prepared..."
Neal Steal-"Maybe he will hit you instead of a camera that would be a shame wouldn't it?"
Gunner is right back up frustrating Combs who knees Gunner in the ribs. Another knee follows but Gunner then retaliates with an elbow to the ribs. Another elbow by Gunner who then charges off the ropes but Combs suddenly explodes forward with a powerful clothesline! Combs is making sure to use the arm with his good hand here...
David Saturn-"Right to the neck! That will not feel good!"
Neal Steal-"Its not supposed to that's the whole point..."
Combs then charges and drops a headbutt right across Gunner's neck! Cover by Combs...1...and Gunner kicks out fast! Not even a 2 count perhaps Gunner kicked out too fast there. Sometimes people wait an extra second for a quick breather but Gunner is pretty relentless. He certainly has a great engine but again makes the mistake of pulling himself up by the ropes. Combs chokes him across the middle rope again...
David Saturn-"I don't think the hand is life threatening but apparently Combs has suffered some severe injuries..."
Neal Steal-"You should know you're the play by play announcer..."
David Saturn-"At least I actually do some research unlike you!"
The ref admonishes Combs again who again moans about being broken up. Combs chokes Gunner with his boot in the corner for a couple of seconds then executes a german suplex. Gunner tries to rise to his feet and Combs stomps him across the head. Combs goes to lift Gunner up but suddenly Gunner rolls him into an inside cradle!
Neal Steal-"Great technical move see Saturn he can wrestle technically..."
David Saturn-"Oh yes the incredible inside cradle. I never said he couldn't do technical moves he's simply more an ass kicker...kicker Steal not kisser that's you..."
1...Combs quick to kick out. Good move there by Gunner maybe surprising Combs. Still Combs should know that nobody has to be a great technical wrestler to execute an inside cradle. Both men up but Combs is first to react delivering another hard clothesline. Combs pulls Gunner to his feet before dropping to one knee.
David Saturn-"Not much time left here..."
Neal Steal-"We don't have time limits..."
Combs reaches underneath Gunner's chin and drives the chin down into his knee. Might knock a few teeth out and Combs backs Gunner into corner. Combs whips Gunner to the opposite corner and recklessly charges perhaps being too confident due to Gunner's limited pro wrestling experiences. Gunner raises his knee winding Combs and then connects with another running knee.
David Saturn-"I meant for the show allotted time!"
Neal Steal-"Well Maggia should negotiate more then incase we need it..."
Gunner drives Combs face first into the mat with a bulldog! Gunner mocks the crowd who aren't exactly behind either man here but does not take eyes off Combs. Gunner then climbs to the top rope...he may have done this against Slick last week. Gunner seems to be setting up for a double axe handle blow but instead flies off with a picture perfect dropkick!
Neal Steal-"Wow!"
David Saturn-"Super dropkick almost like a guided missile it was so pinpoint..."
Gunner then pounds on Combs but the referee isn't going to stop this as he did with Zane Byers. Combs is fighting his way out as Gunner goes for the FULL METAL JACKET! Combs avoids the submission with a blatant low blow! The ref calls for the bell! Combs begins to stomp on Gunner as referees make their way to the ring. They pull Combs away but Gunner charges!
WINNER BY DISQUALIFICATION: GUNNER HUGHES
David Saturn-"All hell is breaking loose!"
Neal Steal-"Get up there and assist them..."
David Saturn-"Its not my job and I'm staying right here this week!"
Gunner knocks down a couple of refs and the rest scatter! Combs really got the full brunt of that charge but remains upright. Combs staggers out of the corner as Gunner coldly stares at him. Gunner then charges and delivers the BUCKSHOT right to the injured hand instead of the head! Combs drops to the mat screaming in agony clutching his hand.
David Saturn-"Good God! That's broken it!"
Neal Steal-"I just hope they don't come over here!"
David Saturn-"Gunner is uncontrollable here...but just look at how calm he is. He's not losing his temper but this is a vicious attack! Combs did low blow him and attack after the bell so he's no saint but this is doing too far!"
Gunner brutally stomps the injured hand. Combs had an injured hand before it is probably broken now as well as any ligament damage he may have sustained! Gunner again stretches and claws at the hand as Combs lets out another agonised yell. The refs (and more security) come out as Gunner continues to tear at the hand!
David Saturn-"Its pandemonium!"
Neal Steal-"Someone needs to get this show under control! Where are you Roberto Maggia get out here!"
David Saturn-"Come on Gunner...stop it damnit!"
The scene fades to black as more and more men struggle to break Gunner away from Combs!
David Saturn-"Well this is fascinating a shot of Jason Howard drinking beer..."
Neal Steal-"You don't complain about Slop doing it...looks like Jason has something to say..."
We see Jason Howard backstage drinking beer...
I have been out of action for the past few weeks due to contract problems.But now I am back with a fatter check and a bigger hunger. A hunger that has to be filled with championships and victory...and that is why starting next week I am ready to take on any jabroni who is willing to fight me.

I am the rising star of professional wrestling and your future champion....

VS
From Black River Falls, Wisconsin...Tracy...ADKINS!!!
David Saturn-"Wonder what this maniac has in store for us tonight..."
Neal Steal-"Well at least he's not talking to a hatchet..."
From Venice, Italy...Sergio...ESPOSITO!!!
David Saturn-"Sergio Esposito claims he has spoken to Roberto Maggia. At least his manager did but I heard Roberto hasn't said a word to either!"

Another slow lockup and both men struggle to apply a side headlock on the other.

David Saturn-"In what way?"
Neal Steal-"Well Mr Megala is the greatest Italian wrestler of all time how can Sergio meet that standard in his career?"
David Saturn-"Well how do you know he isn't a better wrestler than Megala. You haven't seen Sergio wrestle!"
Neal Steal-"Well you don't see wrestlers like Mr Megala...or for that matter Mr Royal every day do you?"
David Saturn-"That's true and we couldn't possibly say how good Sergio is. So even though that might be unlikely at least lets watch him wrestle first!"

David Saturn-"Well here comes Jay Combs returning to the ring after a 2 year hiatus..."
Neal Steal-"He will certainly have to be fresh against Gunner and take his mind away from his fiancée and manager Jeanette Lewis."
David Saturn-"Surprised she isn't out here. I wouldn't be surprised if she had a financial investment in Combs before it became more physical..."
Neal Steal-"Are you saying he has been hitting her?"
David Saturn-"I said physical! As in sexual relations. Would you shut up!"
From Portland, Oregon...Gunner...HUGHES!!!
Neal Steal-"If you don't like my comments hit me then..."
David Saturn-"Love that wouldn't you? To see me fired? I'm not going to hit you I somehow managed not to for 12 years so I think I can control myself..."
Neal Steal-"Gunner has a possible make or break test tonight. I like both of these men could go either way. That hand won't help Combs though..."
David Saturn-"Oh well done you noticed his hand is injured...really on your game tonight..."
Both men are quick to lockup despite neither knowing quite what to expect. This is a big test of Gunner Hughes credentials tonight. He easily defeated the little known Zane Byers but lost to the veteran Slick Doctor. Tonight he takes on another experienced wrestler in Jay Combs who like Slick is another former NIWF World champion. Combs has a heavily bandaged hand from an accident earlier this week...
David Saturn-"Combs has a temper which is how he injured that hand foolishly. Gunner certainly looks like a man who can keep his cool..."
Neal Steal-"You were calling Gunner a hired thug more or less saying his activities are illegal..."
David Saturn-"Well he denied it and maybe he's right who knows? Then again maybe he only thinks murder is illegal and kicking the asses of vulnerable people is fine..."
Neal Steal-"He's a God fearing man...personally I'm not that way inclined but to each his own..."
David Saturn-"Ah yes you never judge anyone..."
Side headlock applied by Combs and Gunner backs him against the ropes then whips him across the ring. Combs rebounds and knocks Gunner off his feet with a shoulder charge. Both these men are about the same size but Combs is about 3 inches taller. Gunner starts to rise to his feet but drops down to the mat as Combs charges at him attempting a knee to the face.
Neal Steal-"I'm surprised Gunner didn't make it to wrestling sooner...far more profitable than other sports..."
David Saturn-"Ah yes because its all about money in your world...these 2men have had very different paths. Gunner very much in the shadows but Combs has been openly successful winning an Oscar in recent years..."
Combs leaps over Gunner and as Hughes looks for a back body drop Combs kicks him in the ribs. That may have worked against Byers but it won't work against Combs this early in the match. Too obvious and Gunner made the same mistake last week against Slick. Still he seems like a very fast learner. Combs whips Gunner off the ropes and tries a back body drop himself.
David Saturn-"A bit of reverse psychology from Combs there...I hear he claims Silvio personally brought him in..."
Neal Steal-"They had differences in the past but I think Mr Megala thought Combs was a good wrestler. Even if they had that unfortunate sjybox incident..."
David Saturn-"Once again though you insist Silvio has been busy...maybe Combs just sees it as a boast claiming Silvio recruited him personally...don't know why..."
Neal Steal-"There could be no greater honour Saturn..."
Combs was probably trying to surprise Gunner who wouldn't have been expecting him to go for the same move he just attempted. Gunner leaps over Combs who turns round and is powerslammed to the mat! Combs is up and charges at Gunner who is quick to react hiptossing Combs to the mat. Gunner then turns his attention to the injured hand for the first time in the match clawing and ripping at the bandage.
David Saturn-"He may be cool and he's certainly very articulate considering his background but he has animalistic tendencies this Gunner Hughes..."
Neal Steal-"What do you mean his background?"
David Saturn-"Well maybe I was a bit judgemental there but usually hired muscle aren't that bright. Not the case with Gunner..."
Gunner grabs hold of the hair as Combs tries to wriggle his hand loose. Combs groans in pain as Gunner stretches the injured hand. It might not be broken but for all we know there could be damage to the ligaments in that hand. Depends how deep the cut is as Gunner continues to pull and tug at the hand. Another hard yank by Gunner and Combs tries to break loose by rolling to the mat.
David Saturn-"Tremendous focus by Gunner last week he did get slightly flustered. Looks like he is determined not to this week..."
Neal Steal-"Poor Combs he trained so hard then was unlucky to pick up an injury..."
David Saturn-"Which was his own fault. Crowd probably seem a bit quiet here viewers but neither of these men are fan favourites. They are not taking their eyes off the match though this capacity crowd here in Portland..."
Gunner is too focused on the hand to apply an armbar but drops his knee across the outstretched arm of Combs instead. Gunner continues to apply pressure on the hand and while mat wrestling may not usually be his style it makes sense to apply all kinds of holds on an injured area. Combs is on his feet but Gunner simply won't let go of that hand. Its almost like a clamp...maybe Gunner's mother taught him when he was a young kid who knows?
Neal Steal-"Maybe Combs made a mistake wrestling with that hand..."
David Saturn-"Well unlike you Steal they are both real men's men. I'm sure Combs has wrestled through worse in the past..."
Neal Steal-"Not in his first match back though with all the ring rust..."
David Saturn-"I don't believe it. Some actual wrestling analysis from Steal that makes a bit of sense..."
Neal Steal-"Oh shut up!"
Another yank on the hand and then Gunner decides to let go whipping Combs off the ropes. Gunner goes for a armdrag on the same side he's just been working on. Combs blocks and clotheslines Gunner with his other arm! Combs waits for Gunner to get to his feet getting a quick breather then knocks him down again with more momentum.
David Saturn-"As we know Gunner isn't the type to pick out a bodypart generally. He just pulverised the life out of Byers...still he knows Combs is no pushover..."
Neal Steal-"This crowd should raise the volume a bit show a bit of appreciation here!"
David Saturn-"Like I said neither are fan favourites..."
Gunner pulls himself up by the ropes which was probably an error since the more experienced Combs immediately chokes him across the middle rope. The ref breaks it up and Combs protests to no avail. Why do so many wrestlers in this company moan about the rules being applied? Combs whips Gunner off the ropes, scoops him up and delivers a backbreaker.
David Saturn-"Combs needs to keep his cool...really on the verge of losing it...hope our cameramen are prepared..."
Neal Steal-"Maybe he will hit you instead of a camera that would be a shame wouldn't it?"
Gunner is right back up frustrating Combs who knees Gunner in the ribs. Another knee follows but Gunner then retaliates with an elbow to the ribs. Another elbow by Gunner who then charges off the ropes but Combs suddenly explodes forward with a powerful clothesline! Combs is making sure to use the arm with his good hand here...
David Saturn-"Right to the neck! That will not feel good!"
Neal Steal-"Its not supposed to that's the whole point..."
Combs then charges and drops a headbutt right across Gunner's neck! Cover by Combs...1...and Gunner kicks out fast! Not even a 2 count perhaps Gunner kicked out too fast there. Sometimes people wait an extra second for a quick breather but Gunner is pretty relentless. He certainly has a great engine but again makes the mistake of pulling himself up by the ropes. Combs chokes him across the middle rope again...
David Saturn-"I don't think the hand is life threatening but apparently Combs has suffered some severe injuries..."
Neal Steal-"You should know you're the play by play announcer..."
David Saturn-"At least I actually do some research unlike you!"
The ref admonishes Combs again who again moans about being broken up. Combs chokes Gunner with his boot in the corner for a couple of seconds then executes a german suplex. Gunner tries to rise to his feet and Combs stomps him across the head. Combs goes to lift Gunner up but suddenly Gunner rolls him into an inside cradle!
Neal Steal-"Great technical move see Saturn he can wrestle technically..."
David Saturn-"Oh yes the incredible inside cradle. I never said he couldn't do technical moves he's simply more an ass kicker...kicker Steal not kisser that's you..."
1...Combs quick to kick out. Good move there by Gunner maybe surprising Combs. Still Combs should know that nobody has to be a great technical wrestler to execute an inside cradle. Both men up but Combs is first to react delivering another hard clothesline. Combs pulls Gunner to his feet before dropping to one knee.
David Saturn-"Not much time left here..."
Neal Steal-"We don't have time limits..."
Combs reaches underneath Gunner's chin and drives the chin down into his knee. Might knock a few teeth out and Combs backs Gunner into corner. Combs whips Gunner to the opposite corner and recklessly charges perhaps being too confident due to Gunner's limited pro wrestling experiences. Gunner raises his knee winding Combs and then connects with another running knee.
David Saturn-"I meant for the show allotted time!"
Neal Steal-"Well Maggia should negotiate more then incase we need it..."
Gunner drives Combs face first into the mat with a bulldog! Gunner mocks the crowd who aren't exactly behind either man here but does not take eyes off Combs. Gunner then climbs to the top rope...he may have done this against Slick last week. Gunner seems to be setting up for a double axe handle blow but instead flies off with a picture perfect dropkick!
Neal Steal-"Wow!"
David Saturn-"Super dropkick almost like a guided missile it was so pinpoint..."
Gunner then pounds on Combs but the referee isn't going to stop this as he did with Zane Byers. Combs is fighting his way out as Gunner goes for the FULL METAL JACKET! Combs avoids the submission with a blatant low blow! The ref calls for the bell! Combs begins to stomp on Gunner as referees make their way to the ring. They pull Combs away but Gunner charges!
WINNER BY DISQUALIFICATION: GUNNER HUGHES
David Saturn-"All hell is breaking loose!"
Neal Steal-"Get up there and assist them..."
David Saturn-"Its not my job and I'm staying right here this week!"
Gunner knocks down a couple of refs and the rest scatter! Combs really got the full brunt of that charge but remains upright. Combs staggers out of the corner as Gunner coldly stares at him. Gunner then charges and delivers the BUCKSHOT right to the injured hand instead of the head! Combs drops to the mat screaming in agony clutching his hand.
David Saturn-"Good God! That's broken it!"
Neal Steal-"I just hope they don't come over here!"
David Saturn-"Gunner is uncontrollable here...but just look at how calm he is. He's not losing his temper but this is a vicious attack! Combs did low blow him and attack after the bell so he's no saint but this is doing too far!"
Gunner brutally stomps the injured hand. Combs had an injured hand before it is probably broken now as well as any ligament damage he may have sustained! Gunner again stretches and claws at the hand as Combs lets out another agonised yell. The refs (and more security) come out as Gunner continues to tear at the hand!
David Saturn-"Its pandemonium!"
Neal Steal-"Someone needs to get this show under control! Where are you Roberto Maggia get out here!"
David Saturn-"Come on Gunner...stop it damnit!"
The scene fades to black as more and more men struggle to break Gunner away from Combs!
