Subject: FWF:  Sagga & Scratch vs Storm
Date: 7 Jan 93 21:30:11 -0400
Organization: Dalhousie University, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada

The following match is an odd one. Following Lightning's failure to dethrone
Dr. Death, Storm signed an open contract against any team that wanted to
face them. Surprisingly, Sultan Sitan El Sagga was the first to sign. Fans
will recall that Sagga was fighting "Hurricane" Andrew Simms when Storm
made their interjection into the match, costing him the match and injuring
Simms. Sagga's tag partner has been lurking in the background of the FWF for
quite some time. Nicholas Scratch hopes to make a quick jump in the ratings
in this match against former tag champs, Storm. Indeed, if Sagga and Scratch
succeed today, it will be a tremendous surge for their stagnating careers.
Storm need the win to get back into the tag ratings, having been dormant as
a team since their title loss.
 
Right now, the Sultan has some choice comments for his opposition,
 
"Storm, you interfered in my match for no reason. You cost me a win for no
reason. You attacked me and knocked me unconscious for no reason. I want you
to realize MY reasons for breaking one of your necks tonight in my Camel
Clutch!!!"
 
..and, of course, the anticipated rebuttal,
 
"We've never needed a reason to kick some poor, sorry loser's butt! You want
to talk about breaking bones? We've already broken one man's back, another's
arm, given another guy a concussion, and now you want to talk necks? One
quadriplegic Arab coming up! As for Scratch, isn't that what you do to an
itch, scratch it? Well, we've got an itch now named Nicholas and tonight
we'll scratch him too!!!"
 
Without further ado, let's get down to the Grinch at ringside!
 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
The Philadelphia Spectrum is slightly less than half full for tonight's FWF
tag match. Such is the expected reaction when four heels do battle in the
ring, especially if two of those heels haven't been in the limelight for
awhile. From some people's point of view the sides seem to be a bit
unbalanced, but Scratch and Sagga have proven themselves in the past in 
singles' competition and Storm have had a couple months away from tag 
competition themselves. Is "the machine" well-oiled again? That's what many
people are anxious to find out.
 
As the lights focus on the ring, Alfred Grinchley enters the ring and the
referee walks down the aisle to the ring. As the tag ropes are fastened to
the Grinch makes the intros.
 
"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, TONIGHT'S FEATURE BOUT IS A TAG TEAM AFFAIR,
SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL WITH A THIRTY MINUTE TIME LIMIT. CURRENTLY MAKING HIS
WAY DOWN THE AISLE, WEIGHING 247 POUNDS AND HAILING FROM MECCA, SAUDI ARABIA
IS SULTAN SITAN EL SAGGA. HIS TAG TEAM PARTNER WEIGHS 243 POUNDS AND HAILS
FROM NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK. HERE IS NICHOLAS SCRATCH!!!!!"
 
Sagga makes his way down the aisle rather verbally, trading insults with
numerous fans along the rail. His partner, quite the opposite, meekly walks
behind his partner and enters the ring. Scratch's pale skin make his
bloodshot eyes stand out all the more. It seems obvious that this
combination is the result of an open contract because how else would these
two get together? Sagga removes his headdress and hands it to a ringside
attendant as the lights suddenly go out. Flash! BOOM! The lights slowly
rise as William Tell's Overture, "Storm" is synthesized over the PA. 
 
"THEIR OPPONENTS ARE NOW LEAVING THE DRESSING ROOM AREA. THEY WEIGH IN AT A
COMBINED WEIGHT OF FIVE HUNDRED, SIXTY THREE POUNDS. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
HERE IS AARON "LIGHTNING" MURPHY AND HIS PARTNER, JERRY "THUNDER" MCGAGHNEY,
STOOOOOORRRRRMMMM!!!!!!!"
 
The two black-robed wrestlers make their entrance to their traditional
chorus of boos. Very few wrestlers' accomplishments compare to those of
these two notorious men. As they enter the ring, robes are removed to reveal
black, full-length tights with "Storm" emblazed on a thundercloud on the
rear. The referee gulps apprehensively as he calls for the bell. This is
not a match he's looking forward to.
 
Without even consulting his partner, Sagga charges across the ring and in
his heavily accented voice demands a piece of Thunder. Storm look at each
other and laugh. "Didn't you get enough of me last time?" Thunder challenges
the Sultan? Lightning and Scratch part to their respective corners.
 
The Sultan charges to the ropes and attempts a shoulderblock with no effect.
Not pausing for a second, the Arab bounces to the ropes again and a
clothesline doesn't stagger Thunder. A third run to the ropes and Thunder,
expecting a similar body shot finds himself collapsing to the mat following
a diving elbow to his left quadriceps muscle. The Sultan shrieks in anger as
holding the leg, he drops another elbow into it. Holding both legs up now,
Sagga drops a leg between them and Thunder goes rigid as the audience moans.
 
The referee's angered warning falls on deaf ears as Sagga picks his opponent
up off the mat. The Stormer's arms are hooked and a double underhook suplex
later, he's back on his back. Shoving Thunder with his boot, Sagga rolls him
over onto his stomach and drops a knee in the back of his neck! Rolling him
over again, the Sultan hooks a leg.
 
One...
 
is all he gets. Sagga quickly makes the tag and Nicholas Scratch slips into
the ring. Each man grabs a leg and snaps back to the mat, painfully
stretching the big man's hamstrings. Scratch carefully surveys his opponent
and decides to drop an elbow. Nobody there. Thunder gingerly gets to his
feet and Lightning gets the tag.
 
Lightning curiously surveys Scratch. Very few have been able to puzzle this
character out. They lock up and Lightning scoops Scratch up in a bodyslam.
Scratch gets to his feet and stares back at him. Lightning runs to the ropes
and clotheslines the smaller man down. Scratch again gets to his feet, not
visibly hurt. Another lockup and it is Scratch pushing Lightning back to the
ropes. One chop! A second chop! Lightning is thrown to the ropes, but wait-
a reversal! Scratch comes running at Lightning and in the twinkle of an eye,
a belly-to-belly suplex flattens him!
 
One...
 
TWO...
 
and Scratch barely manages a kickout before the referee's hand hits the mat
for the third time. Lightning scoops Scratch up by the back of the head and
the thighs and delivers a backbreaker. A gut wrench suplex puts both men in
Storm's corner and a tag is made.
 
Thunder grabs the smaller man in a gut wrench position, but this time
Scratch finds himself deposited on Thunder's shoulder in a backbreaker!
Thunder locks his fingers on top of Scratch's chest and starts to bounce
him around on his shoulder. Scratch's eyes roll back into their sockets from
the pain, but his head shakes "No" to the referee's question about stopping
the match. Suddenly, Scratch flies off Thunder's shoulder and to the mat!
Thunder whirls around in surprise and sees Sagga in the ring! Sagga aims a
couple clublike forearms to Thunder's chest, but Thunder doesn't seem to 
register the blows. Sagga gets backed into his corner and whipped to the
far turnbuckle. Scratch is whipped onto his partner, and like a freight
train, Thunder barrels in, crushing both of them as Scratch receives a 
clothesline!
 
Scratch crumples to the mat and Sagga gets grabbed by the neck and tights
and boosted high overhead! With nothing but pure hatred in his face, Thunder
crosses to the ropes and heaves Sagga to the concrete in the aisle! Scratch
is again introduced to Thunder's shoulders, this time in a horizontal
backbreaker. Lightning is tagged and goes to the top rope. Lightning's knee
sends Scratch flying wildly to the mat. "It's time," says Thunder as 
grabbing Scratch's legs, he rolls him into a Boston Crab. Fans all around
the arena start to shriek and parents hide their children's eyes as Storm
duplicate the maneuver that won them their first FWF match. Lightning
charges to the ropes and clotheslines Thunder backwards, INTO the Boston
Crab, effectively scratching Scratch and breaking his back! The referee
doesn't wait to count a pin and simply calls for the bell as Storm leave the
ring and chase Sagga, who is on his way back to the dressing room now.
 
Lightning catches the Arab and throws him into Thunder, who powerslams him
to the concrete! Thunder gets up and starts to airplane-spin the Sultan
while Lightning climbs onto the ring apron. Sagga is dropped to his feet and
a dropkick from Lightning sends him into the security railing. Lightning
throws him into the ring and the referee and paramedics leave, trying to
slide the stretcher out of the ring, but Lightning cuts them off and demands
them to leave it. Thunder throws a chair into the ring as Lightning drops
to the mat with Sagga, delivering a neckbreaker. Grabbing the chair,
Lightning swings at the medical team and officials, backing them off. 
 
Thunder takes Sagga's limp form into his arms and places him on the top
turnbuckle as Lightning strategically places the chair near the corner.
Mounting the second turnbuckle, Thunder loops Sagga's arm over his head and
pulls him vertical. Slowly dropping back, Sagga's head crunches to the mat
on top of the chair in Thunder's patented brainbuster. Standing proudly in
the centre of the ring, Thunder places a foot on Sagga's chest and Lightning
places his on Scratch. Laughing amidst the boos of the audience, Storm
depart for the dressing room, passing a second medical team on the way.
The Grinch makes the unpleasant announcement,
 
"THE REFEREE HAS STOPPED THIS MATCH DUE TO Nicholas SCRATCH'S INABILITY TO
CONTINUE. HE AWARDS THE MATCH TO STORM."
 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
And thus Storm starts the new year with a vengeance!
 
The Fictional Wrestling Federation does not assume any responsibility for
mental distress, faintness of heart, or any other side effects of one
of Storm's matches. The moves you see here are performed by trained
professionals and are not to be performed at home :-D
 
Next match from the tag division is a title defence by Devastation against
new number one contenders: The Wyld Stallions.
