Subject: FWF:  Blade Runners vs Scorpion & Flayer
Date: 6 Oct 92 23:15:57 -0300
Organization: Dalhousie University, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada

Tonight's match forces two men who were once tag team partners to compete
against each other on opposite sides of a tag match. Stan Golding and Steve
Rockwell had a long history not only as tag team partners, but as close
friends. They trained together, travelled together, spent long hours
planning strategy to use in matches, and were always keeping an eye on one
another's backs.
 
The FWF tag title was their dream. They had a spot in the tournament, but
just didn't have what it took to make it all the way. Rock was able to
accept this and move on, but Sting couldn't do this. Someone had to be at
fault and it sure wasn't himself! 
 
In their first tournament match, Sting was the legal man in the ring and
Rock entered to stop a double-team and KO'd the referee! Disqualification.
In their second match, Rock had Johnny Houlton in his finisher, the Full 
Nelson, and the time limit expired! Sting got the pin in their third match,
resulting in their only tournament victory. The fourth match was a double
countout, and who was counted out? Rock and Terry Rinaldi. 
 
This will be the second time the Blade Runners have faced each other in the
ring. Their first encounter was a singles match with Flayer and Flash
interjecting themselves in the post match brawl. Tempers are still heating
up and it is unlikely that this match tonight will settle all scores.
 
Without further ado, let's get to ringside!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
The arena is packed tonight at this, the first tag match of the season.
Many of the people here tonight have been long-time followers of the
Fictional Wrestling Federation, and others are here out of curiosity (and
nothing better to do). Marks and hardcore fans. Young and old. The FWF
tries to find something for all of them to enjoy and tonight's grudge match
is another example of that.
 
The Grinch gets into the ring, and the lights are dimmed. A chorus of boos
erupts as Spectre General's "Nothing's Gonna Stand in our Way" echoes over
the PA system and Damien Flayer emerges from the curtains to the dressing
room. The loss to Simms a few nights before is almost forgotten as he
strides confidently to the ring.
 
"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, TONIGHT'S MATCH IS A TAG-TEAM CONTEST SET FOR ONE
FALL WITH A THIRTY MINUTE TIME LIMIT. PRESENTLY MAKING HIS WAY DOWN THE
AISLE, HAILING FROM CLEVELAND, OHIO, WEIGHING IN AT TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTEEN
POUNDS, HERE IS "GREASED LIGHTNING" DAMIEN FLAAAAYYYYYER!!!!!
 
As Flayer sets foot into the ring, the music changes to Janet Jackson's
"Black Cat" and the Grinch continues,
 
HIS PARTNER HAILS FROM PARTS UNKNOWN AND WEIGHS IN AT TWO HUNDRED AND
SIXTY-ONE POUNDS. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, HERE IS "SCORPION" STAN
GOLLLLLLLLLDING!!!!!!!"
 
The reception these two heels receive is anything but friendly. Both of
these men were once adored by the fans, but each of them has had an attitude
adjustment. Perhaps that is what has brought this tandem together; a common
disdain for the fans. Who knows? 
 
Just as quick as this crowd was to boo Golding and Flayer, their mood
quickly changes to jubilation as "Iron Man" booms over the PA system.
 
"THEIR OPPONENTS ARE JUST MAKING THEIR WAY FROM THE DRESSING ROOM AREA.
WEIGHING IN AT A TOTAL COMBINED WEIGHT OF FOUR HUNDRED, NINETY-SIX POUNDS,
HERE IS JOHNATHON FLANN AND STEVE ROCKWELL; FLASH AND ROCK, THE NEEEEWWWW
BLAAAAADE RUNNERS!!!!!!!"
 
Alfred Grinchley exits the ring and Joe Hebner, the referee enters. Ring
attire is removed and wrestlers are checked for foreign objects. Flayer
starts stretching on the ropes, as Golding exits to the corner. On the other
side of the ring, the Blade Runners briefly confer before Rock exits. It's
going to be a battle of the light-heavyweights to start this match off!
 
The marks in the crowd are disappointed that Rock and Scorpion aren't
starting this one. After all, that's where the real tension is. The
hardcores, on the other hand, beam from ear to ear. They wouldn't care if
Rockwell and Golding never made it into the ring just as long as these two
light heavyweights put on as good a show for them as they anticipate.
 
Flash and "Greased Lightning" circle each other. Flayer goes for a lockup,
but quickly ducks behind his marginally larger opponent and catches him in
a waistlock. Flann reaches between his legs and pulls one of Flayer's feet
out from under him. A mule kick sends Flann down to the mat. Getting to his
feet, the Blade Runner instinctively steps back as Flayer goes down hard to
the mat after a missed dropkick.
 
Flash bounces off the ropes. Flayer rolls onto his stomach. Flash steps over
him and goes off the opposite ones. Flayer goes for a leapfrog, but Flash
catches him around the waist and delivers an inverted atomic drop. Spinning
his opponent around, Flash delivers a regular atomic drop. Hardly do
Flayer's feet hit the mat though before he finds himself whisked back into
the air and down on the back of his head. Dazed as he is though, he still
feels Flann's grip around his waist and hears the referee's count. He
kicks out of this pin at the count of one.
 
He may have kicked out quickly, but Flash was the quicker to get to his
feet. Whip to the buckles. Flash charges. Flayer hops to the top rope and
backflips out over his opponent. Flash turns around and is met with a
dropkick, sending him back to the buckle. Quick as "Greased Lightning", 
Flayer runs in, hops to the second turnbuckle, and monkeyflips the Blade
Runner into the centre of the ring.
 
The corners of Flayer's mouth twitch upwards in a sneer as he mentally
congratulates himself on getting the better end of that exchange. Flash
isn't down for long, but Flayer is ready for him as he gets up. A knee lift
stuns the new Blade Runner. A chop to the chest sends him back a couple of
inches. Another one and Flash is leaning against the ropes. Taking advantage
of his opponent's location, Flayer throws his opponent to the far side. On
the rebound, Flash ducks a clothesline. After the second rebound Flayer 
attempts a hiptoss. Grabbing the arm and spinning in midair, Flann out-
maneuvers his opponent and lands beside him. Before Flayer knows it, Flann
has hooked his other arm and he finds himself in a backslide. The referee
counts:
 
ONE!
 
TWO!
 
.. and Flayer slips out of it. Angered, Flayer charges the Blade Runner and
finds himself thrown over his head in a Japanese armdrag. Flayer is then
immobilized in an armbar while Rock is tagged into the ring.
 
Rock takes the smaller man's arm from his partner and rolls it over his
head, painfully twisting it. Folding the arm under his own, Rock drops
sideways to the mat, nearly dislocating Flayer's left shoulder. Holding the
arm flat on the mat, Rock drives his knee into the injured shoulder three
times. Flayer's punishment isn't over yet, however. Rock picks Flayer up
and lifts him effortlessly over his shoulder. He carries his opponent
halfway around the ring, giving Flayer plenty of time to dread the pain he's
about to go through before dropping his man straight down over a knee in a
shoulderbreaker! Rock hooks the leg...
 
ONE!
 
TWO!
 
and Scorpion's interference breaks the referee's count. Rock turns, unhurt,
sees his arch-nemesis, snarls, beats on his chest, and chases his former
partner. The Scorpion dives over the top rope with Rock following. Halfway
around the ring, Golding rolls back under the bottom rope, and Rock follows.
Flayer, however has had ample time to recover and as Rock slides back into
the ring, Flayer stomps the back of his head. The referee protests as the
two heels conduct their double-team. Golding goes to the second rope. Flayer
bodyslams the Blade Runner. Golding drops forward, elbowsmashing his former
partner. Finally, the angry ref manages to get the Scorpion out of the ring.
 
Meanwhile, Flayer has gone to the top rope. As Rock gets up, He is knocked
back down with a flying clothesline. A pin attempt barely gets a two count.
Rock gets back to his feet and Flayer decides to change the pace a bit and
goes for the eyes. A warning from the referee means little to the heel as
he backs Rock to a neutral corner and chokes him. At the count of four, he
breaks. Flayer stays right on top of Rock with punches, kicks and chops,
but Rock starts to retaliate. Another eye rake stops that.
 
The weakened Rock is thrown to the far corner. Flayer follows him, but not
running as one might expect. Flipping twice across the ring, Rock is hit
with Flayer's handspring elbowsmash. Whipping Rock back, Flayer again
cartwheels, backflips, springs... but misses! Before "Greased Lightning"
knows what is happening, Rock boosts him up on his shoulders and carries him
to the Blade Runners' corner. Flash is tagged and goes to the top rope.
 
Flayer gasps in horror as Rock positions him with his back to Flash,
realizing this is probably setting up for a bulldog. The experience of
Flayer, however pays off and just as Flash leaps, Flayer shifts all his
weight forward, throwing Rock down to his knees and sending Flash flailing
wildly over both their heads. Rock must leave the ring and a tag on the
other side allows the Scorpion to enter this match for the first time
(legally).
 
Flayer is only too glad to get this rest and watches from the corner as
his partner goes to work. Johnathon Flann finds himself rudely dragged to
his feet and thrown to the ropes. On the pass back, he finds himself boosted
more than eight feet in the air in a Military Press and slammed back down to
the mat. The Scorpion is determined to show he is in every way superior to
his replacement. Hardly does Flash land before the Scorpion grabs him by the
hair, dragging him to his feet. Golding grabs his smaller opponent in a gut
wrench and flips him onto his shoulder in a backbreaker. Stan Golding isn't
going for a submission, however as he crashes down to his knees before
releasing his man. One elbow drop. A second elbow drop. A cover.
 
ONE...
 
TWO...
 
and Flann's right arm shoots into the air, raising his shoulder off the mat.
Golding curses under his breath for covering his man so sloppily. No matter,
Flash isn't too flashy right now. He sends the smaller man to the ropes in
an Irish Whip. Flann, however, surprises his enemy by ducking the
clothesline that was aimed at him. The Scorpion turns around and ducks his
head for a backdrop, expecting Flann to be on the rebound by now, but the
youngster snagged the top rope, halting his momentum. As Golding ducks his
head, he finds himself caught in a running neckbreaker. In one fluid motion,
Flann is on the top rope. Golding is re-introduced to the mat by a dropkick.
The fans are screaming for Rock, Rock is anxiously waiting with arm
outstretched on the apron, and Flash desperately needs a break. Golding
valiantly tries to thwart the tag by grabbing Flann's leg. It's of no use,
however as the Blade Runner is too close to his corner already.
 
Rock enters the ring and runs straight to the ropes. The Scorpion is
shoulderblocked to the mat. Rock is oblivious to everything except the one
thought of beating on this man in the ring. The Scorpion senses this and
rolls out of the ring to regain his bearings. Rock, still on the one thought
pattern, follows him out. Grabbing Golding from behind, Rockwell slams his
former partner's head into the ring post. Grabbing the Scorpion's arm, he
throws him to the barricade...
 
..but Golding reverses this. As the Scorpion nears Rock, Rock lunges at him
and the two fall to the mat. As they roll around on the mat, their
respective partners leave the apron in an attempt to separate them. This
proves useless as Flayer and Flann lock up outside the ring before either
can lend much help. Golding has taken a cable laying on the mat and is using
it to choke Rock. Rock fights back and does the same. WHOOSH...CRACK! A
metal chair whizzes over Flash's head and hits the ring post. The fans groan
as they look at the Joe Hebner, the only man in the ring, reach the ten
count and call for the bell.... the bell which Flayer and Flann are fighting
over. 
 
On the other side of the ring, things have taken a turn for the worse for
Golding as Rock now has him in his patented Full Nelson! Officials and 
referees are now coming down the aisle to break up this brawl. Flayer frees
himself and smashes Rock in the back with a chair to break the hold. Flayer,
however made the mistake of leaving Flash, who has entered the ring and is
now on the top rope. Flipping in midair, Flash lands back-first on Flayer, 
sending both of them to the floor. 
 
Several wrestlers have come to ringside to help untangle the mess that the
officials have on their hands. All four parties are soon brought back under
control. The Grinch manages to find the microphone and the timekeeper rings
the bell.
 
"HERE IS THE REFEREE'S OFFICIAL DECISION: BOTH SCORPION AND ROCK HAVE BEEN 
COUNTED OUT OF THE RING. THIS MATCH IS RULED TO BE A DRAW!"
 
The backup wrestlers lose their grips on the wrestlers and the fight ensues
anew in the aisle. Officials and wrestlers try to get things back under
control as the fight slowly inches its way back to the dressing room. This
feud is far from over...
 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
And there you have it. A little late in coming due to unforeseen
circumstances. The next match could be a little while too until things
settle down with homework.
