The referee calls for the bell as the match gets underway.

Bazman is pointing at Fill, indicating that he wants him in the ring. We now see HBK pointing at Fill.

HBK tags in Fill , Bazman and Fill are now in the center of the ring jockeying for position. Bazman uses his strength and pushes Fill back. Fill then locks up with Bazman again but is again pushed back by the sheer strength by Bazman. Again they lock up for a third time but this time Fill is the one who pushes back Bazman. Bazman does not look impressed and runs at Fill hitting him with a hard clothesline.

PE: That?s it Baz, keep at him.

Bazman picks Fill up and goes to suplex him, the first attempt is blocked by Fill. Bazman again goes to suplex him, but again it is blocked by Fill. The third time it is Fill who delivers a well executed suplex on Bazman.

Ice picks Fill back up from the mat holding him in front of HBK.

JR: Ice is just looking at HBK and laughing at him.

HBK looks unhappy and attempts to get into the ring. Ice then drags Fill over to the corner as Bazman steps into the ring. Both men begin to hit Fill with a number of stiff chops right to the chest of Fill. The referee turns round and sees that Bazman is now in the ring. He therefore orders Bazman to get out.

Bazman steps out of the ring as Ted Dibiase steps up onto the apron to complain to the referee that HBK is attempting to get into the ring once more.

Whilst the referee is being distracted, Bazman and Ice continue to wear down Fill. HBK comes in to intervene, but the ref turns round in time to order HBK back out of the ring.

ERE Armageddon 2003

Scene cuts back to ringside with Paul E and JR.

JR: Well that's the Extreme Revolution awards folks and yes the voting has been very close.

Paul E: Close as hell JR and I can't wait to see who as won what.

JR: Well the only place to catch the awards is live on December 24th, so make a note in your diary.

The camera now pans to the ring and focuses on Howard Finkel

Fink: Ladies and Gentlemen, the next match is for the Extreme Revolution Tag Team Championships, it is a Tornado Tag match for one fall

PE: And it's damn obvious who is going to win this - just hand the titles to the Submission Masters now and save the time

JR: You know how this works, and we just don't hand people titles - only losers get the titles handed to them

PE: We know that the Submission Masters are anything but losers

Fink: Introducing first to the ring, weighing in at a combined weight of 535lbs - CHRIS2K and CVD!!!

The C2K countdown starts, as it reaches One, "I Believe In A Thing Called Love" hits and the crowd gives a mixed reaction, but mostly cheers - Chris and CVD walk out onto the staging, they raise their arms as the pyros go off behind them which increases the noise of the crowd... CVD and Chris walk down the ramp, pretty much ignoring the fans on the side of the ramp, they both roll under the bottom rope into the ring and go over to a corner... the music dies down as Fink raises the mic again to his mouth

Fink: Their first opponents, weighing in at a combined weight of 530lbs, accompanied by their manager Ted DiBiassi - THE SUBMISSION MASTERS, BAZMAN AND ICE!!!

The crowd begins to boo even before the music starts, "Master of Puppets" hits and the crowd booing increases a lot - BazMan and Ice walk down the ramp as pyros go off down the side of the ramp, they stop part way beside a fan with a "Subway Masters" sign, BazMan snatches it off of the fan and breaks it over his knee before throwing the sign back at the fan

JR: What disrespect

PE: Well, the sign did suck

JR: And you'd know all about things that suck

PE: What's that meant to mean?

Baz, Ice and Ted have gotten to the ring, Ted walks up the steps as Ice and Baz kneel onto the apron and then climb through the ropes, they get into the middle of the ring and raise their arms to more booing from the crowd - they settle against the ropes, talking to Ted who stands on the apron near a turnbuckle... their music dies down as the Fink raises the mic one more time

Fink: The final opponents, weighing in at a combined weight of 464lbs, being accompanied by their manager, James E Cornette, the reigning Extreme Revolution Tag Team Champions - BADD COMPANY, HBK and FILL!!!

The crowd noise changes from boos to cheers as soon as this is announced, "the Ravishing Theme" hits as Fill and HBK walk out onto the staging, they're wearing long expensive coats, James E a couple of steps behind, they get to the top of the ramp, flick open their coats to reveal very expensive suits, and the Tag Championship belts around their waists - they walk a few steps forwards, stop and wait for James E to catch up, then they pose, Fill stands and flexes as HBK does the crouching flex in front of him as pyros go off behind them to a HUGE pop from the crowd

PE: What a complete waste - they don't deserve any pyros

JR: They're the Champs, the deserve it if anyone does

PE: Well, I think they've used up their entire career's quota since they've been together

JR: Now that's just plain ridiculous

Fill and HBK strut down the ramp with James E just behind them, they stop a few times to pose in front of some female fans, they eventually get to the ring, Fill hope onto the apron as HBK walks up the stairs, Fill steps through the ropes as HBK begins to go through them, but stops to hump them a few times... he gets into the ring as James E gets behind them - HBK and Fill stand in the middle of the ring, their arms slightly out as James E pulls their coats off, revealing the identical suits and the belts around Badd Company's waists

PE: How are they meant to wrestle dressed like that?

JR: How they dress has never stopped either of them before

HBK does the crouching flex in front of Fill's standing flex once more as pyros swipe across the ring behind them to another HUGE pop - after the pyros HBK and Fill stand up and remove their belts, James E takes them, raises them to another pop, then hands them to the ref, HBK and Fill remove their jackets, then rip off their shirts in one move which receives loads of squeals from the female members of the crowd, Fill and HBK glance at each other, grin and then reach down, pulling their suit trousers off in one swift motion, again receiving squeals of delight from the females in the audience

PE: Now THAT is a complete waste - what sort of idiotic idea was it to wear suits for less than 2 minutes?

JR: Well it certainly was a spectacle, and the crowd definitely loved it

Fill and HBK kick their discarded clothes out of the ring as they move to the corner to talk to talk with James E and their music dies down, in the other corners the other 2 teams glance between their opponents, preparing for the match ahead, Ted is speaking to the Submission Masters as Chris and CVD talk between themselves... the ref holds up the belts to the teams, then to the crowd which receives a minor pop

JR: It looks like we're about to get underway, and I certainly can't wait

James E climbs out of the ring, and down the stairs, Ted drops off of the apron and onto the floor as the ref hands the titles to the time-keeper, who then rings the bell to start the match

PE (sarcastically): Didn't have to wait long, did you?

Fill and HBK glance over to CVD and Chris2K, they nod to one another and all four men charge at BazMan and Ice, punching, kicking and clubbing them down onto the mat, Fill and HBK attacking BazMan while C2K and CVD attack Ice

PE: Look at those cheats - this is clearly not fair

JR: It's the way these matches work, and you know it

PE: But they shouldn't all be attacking the Submission Masters - that's just plain wrong

Fill has dragged Baz to his feet, HBK backs off a few steps, Fill sets Baz up and hits the Fill Flipper and as BazMan is going over, HBK lunges forwards with some Chin Music, almost decapitating Baz to a HUGE pop from the crowd

JR: Mah Gawd, we've not seen that combination for quite some time - in fact since Fill and HBK were forced to work together

PE: And I'm glad as it sucked

Chris and CVD have pulled Ice to his feet, CVD goes to a corner and leaps onto the top turnbuckle, Chris lifts Ice up for a Gorilla Press, CVD leaps and kicks Ice from Chris' grip, sending him over the top rope to the outside

JR: Mah Gawd, I don't think the Submission Masters are in any situation to win now

PE: Well, with all of the cheating going on, it wouldn't surprise me

Fill and HBK toss Baz outside of the ring as Chris and CVD celebrate

PE: Look at those idiots, they think they've won already

Fill and HBK climb to the second turnbuckle and raise their arms to the crowd which raises a HUGE pop... Chris and CVD turn around after the loud pop that Badd Company received, the nod to each other and then charge at their opponents knocking them off of the turnbuckles back into the ring, Chris drops a quick knee onto Fill's chest as CVD hits a quick Spinning Leg Drop onto HBK's chest

PE: What a turn-up, Chris2K and CVD can't be trusted, can they?

JR: Well, they have to try to win, and this is the quickest way

CVD picks up HBK and Irish Whips him towards the ropes, on the rebound CVD goes for a ClothesLine, but HBK ducks it and on his next rebound he returns with a Flying Elbow to a pop... meanwhile Chris has picked Fill up and delivered a Northern Lights Suplex, he raises Fill once more, but when he attempts a second Suplex, Fill reverses it and ducks behind and hits a Release German Suplex to another pop from the crowd

JR: What a turn about by the fan's favourites

Fill and HBK look around at each other and then at the crowd, they look down at their fallen opponents and then at each other again... they punch knuckles and then run to opposite ropes from each other and return to hit Running Leg Drops on Chris and CVD, they then proceed to pin and the ref counts both at the same times with both arms

ONE

PE: They can't let these 2 idiots win this easily

TWO

CVD and Chris both kick out at the same time to a mixed reaction from the crowd... Fill and HBK look at each other and shrug... Fill picks Chris up, but receives a knee to the gut for his troubles and as HBK reaches down for CVD he gets kicked in the head... Chris throws Fill over the top rope as CVD kips up and hits a Spinning Kick to knock HBK towards the ropes

JR: What a turn around

CVD Irish Whips HBK to the ropes and on the rebound Chris hits a HARD ClothesLine knocking HBK to the mat, he immediately covers him, but as the ref dives in for the count BazMan suddenly dives on top to break the pin

JR: Where did he come from?

PE: BazMan shows up when he's needed, and he was needed to break the pin

JR: It definitely appears that way

Baz begins stomping on Chris as HBK rolls out of the ring... Ice has gotten into the ring by the corner and he charges at CVD with a clothesline but CVD ducks it and sweeps Ice off of his feet, Ice rolls out of the ring into the arms of Fill who immediately hits a Belly to Belly Suplex taking Ice down to the floor... CVD turns back towards BazMan who is still stomping on Chris, he runs at him from behind taking BazMan by surprise and hitting a quick Back Drop Suplex

JR: I don't think this is going to go well for the Submission Masters again

Ted DiBiassi is sneaking around the ring to get towards Fill who is picking up Ice again, Ted is just about to reach him when HBK comes jumping off of the apron with a Flying Head Scissors, taking Ted down and to the floor to a BIG pop

JR: That'll teach him to try to get involved

PE: He was just going to check on one of his men

JR: I really believe that, no, really, I do

PE: Sarcastic bugger

Fill has picked Ice up once more and holds him in a Full Nelson position, HBK gets up, looks over and begins to Warm Up The Band, the crowd noise begins to increase, HBK lunges forwards with some Chin Music as Fill lifts Ice up for a Dragon Suplex, snapping Ice back over onto the floor - in the ring Chris has continued stomping on BazMan, CVD has joined him and they continue the beating

PE: Will these guys ever stop cheating? Why isn't the ref doing anything about it?

JR: You know damn well that he can't and won't disqualify anyone in this match

Baz rolls under the bottom rope to get away, but as he rolls onto the floor CVD has run to the other ropes, he bounces off and on the return he hits a Plancha, diving onto Baz on the floor, Chris follows through and onto the floor outside

PE: You can't do that to him! Baz, Get up and kick their butts

Fill and HBK pick up Ice and roll him into the ring, they drag him to the corner where Fill puts him over before him, ready for the Filler, HBK leaps up onto the top rope in preparation, Fill flips him up ready for the Ego Trip, but somehow Ice has enough wherewithal to grab onto HBK and as Fill tries to power forwards Ice pulls HBK who hits Fill in the back, slamming him face first into the mat

JR: Mah Gawd - I've never seen that move reversed, and what a way to do it!

PE: That's why the Submission Masters are the best team around

Ice rolls Fill over and the ref dives into position to count

HBK pulls Ice off, he drags him to the middle of the ring before hitting a spinning Leg Drop... HBK then goes to the corner and jumps to the top again... he poses for the crowd to a HUGE pop, but as he's about to jump CVD shoves him off to the side... CVD then leaps to the top turnbuckle and looks around before leaping himself, he lands HARD on Ice with a Five Star Frog Splash and rolls over holding his chest

JR: What a turn about - CVD using the same finishing move that HBK loves so much

PE: See, a thief as well as a cheat

JR: You can't call him a thief - he's used that move for some time

CVD rolls on top of Ice for the pin

James E runs around and slides his Tennis Racket to Fill

Fill grabs the Racket and dives at the centre of the ring

THR... Fill swings the racket down, but Ice rolls out of the way and the racket smashes into Ice's stomach, he curls up in pain as the ref grabs hold of the end of the racket, trying to get it away from Fill

JR: Mah Gawd, Ice must be in agony now

PE: More cheating - when will the ref get this match under control?

The ref manages to yank the tennis racket away from Fill as CVD runs and dropkicks Fill over the top rope... outside Chris has turned to watch the events inside the ring, giving time for Baz to recover, Baz slowly gets up behind Chris and hits a German Suplex, hitting Chris into the barrier...

Baz grabs hold of CVD's leg, drags him off of his partner and applies the Devastation Lock, CVD yells out in pain... Fill climbs back into the ring, charges at Baz as though for a Neck Breaker, but as he gets past Baz he grabs with a Flexicution, he yanks Baz off of his feet and away from CVD...

JR: This could be the end of the match right here

PE: Come on Baz, don't let this idiot beat you

CVD rolls over and rubs some life back into his ankle, Fill continues to hold BazMan up as he struggles, CVD then rolls around onto his knees before swinging his legs around and sweeping Fill off of his feet, BazMan collapses to the mat as CVD dives over him for the cover, but outside the ring HBK has climbed to the apron, he spots CVD on the cover and leaps, he springboards off of the top rope and hits a Diving Swanton onto CVD's back

JR: This action is certainly coming thick and fast

Chris climbs slowly back into the ring and looks at the carnage, HBK has pushed CVD off of Ice and covers Ice himself...

ONE

TWO

Chris dives in to break the pin and just after he does so Fill charges at him and hits a Seated Drop Kick, Fill picks Chris up quickly and Irish Whips him, but Chris reverses it and Fill goes towards the ropes... Baz steps into his way and hits him with a HUGE Belly to Belly Suplex, throwing him over the top rope

JR: Mah Gawd, what an attack

PE: I told you the Submissions Masters are the best there are

BazMan looks around at the booing crowd, and as he does so he doesn't see Chris charge at him, Chris hits a ClothesLine taking Baz down, Chris immediately turns and charges at HBK who is trying to get Ice to his feet, Chris hits a ClothesLine on HBK, knocking him down, CVD is climbing to his feet as Chris picks HBK up and throws him towards CVD, CVD Monkey Flips HBK over the top rope to more booing

JR: That's one way to turn the fans against you - attack the man who is probably the most popular athlete around

Baz has gotten to his feet and Chris2K charges at him again, but ends up on the receiving end of a Japanese Arm Drag, Ice drags himself over to the ropes as CVD comes over, CVD attempts to get Ice onto his feet, but Ice lunges forwards with a Low Blow, CVD collapses into a heap... Baz gets back onto his feet, he turns and grabs Chris and starts throwing hard right hands into his face, forcing him back into the corner, Ice has picked up CVD and is doing the same thing - Ice and Baz glance at each other, then simultaneously Irish Whip CVD and Chris at each other, they collide hard and begin to slump back but Baz and Ice have stepped behind them and hit German Suplexes on both men

PE: Just watch these 2 amazing athletes go at it

JR: They certainly are impressive

Baz gets up and celebrates on the second turnbuckle, Ice staggers back to the corner after the beating he received earlier... Fill and HBK are being checked on by James E, he manages to get HBK to get up slightly, as HBK is getting to his feet using the apron, James E moves to Fill to check on him, he gets a bottle of water out of his pocket and empties it over Fill's head to wake him up

PE: HEY! That's not allowed

In the ring Chris has climbed to his feet while Baz is still celebrating to more crowd booing, Chris sneaks up behind BazMan, jumps up onto the bottom turnbuckle and German Suplexes Baz into the middle of the ring, he then follows to pin... Ice tries to dive forwards to break the pin, but CVD manages to hit a Drop Toe Hold on him, yet Ice falls face first onto Chris' back, breaking the pin anyway

JR: What a mistake - they could have won this match with that move

PE: But they didn't as they're idiots

Chris gets up and looks annoyed, he stomps a few times on Ice for breaking the pin, he picks up Ice and hits a quick DDT, Chris goes for the cover as CVD gets up to ensure that Baz doesn't move, the ref dives into position

ONE

TWO

HBK has leapt onto the apron, and hits a Slingshot LegDrop onto Chris, breaking the pin, Chris looks surprised and gets up to start clubbing on the back of HBK's neck, during this Ice rolls out of the ring, he lands near Ted who goes over to try to help him, he grabs a bottle of water from a fan at ring-side and empties it over Ice's head

PE: Yeah, wake Ice up, he should be kicking ass

JR: I thought you said that this sort of thing wasn't fair

PE: Well, it's not fair if James E does it

JR: Double standards?

Baz slowly gets to his feet and CVD kicks at him, Baz grabs the foot but CVD hits a Step Over Enzugiri, knocking BazMan back and into the corner, Fill has rolled into the ring and he charges at CVD with a FlexLine, immediately following it up with a Kiss Off, on the other side of the ring HBK is still being assaulted by Chris, Fill quickly runs over and hits Chris with a quick FlexLine, he then turns and charges at BazMan in the corner

JR: Fill is just taking over here

PE: What did James E have in that water?

HBK has gotten to his feet and he kicks Chris in the gut, he calls over to Fill who comes over and nods, he grabs hold of Chris in a Full Nelson, HBK backs off and Warms up the Band

PE: Not Again!

HBK lunges forwards and hits some Sweet Chin Music on Chris, and Fill then throws him over the top rope, onto a recovering Ice, they both collapse on the floor - the audience are cheering LOUDLY

JR: It looks like Fill and HBK are clearing house - this could be the end of it

HBK goes over to CVD and stomps on him a few more times, he then drags him to his feet and throws him towards Fill who hits a FlexLine before picking him up into a Full Nelson... once more HBK Warms Up The Band - the crowd is going NUTS

PE: Oh God - why is this happening?

JR: Because they are probably the Greatest Tag Team Of All Time

PE: That's what they tell you to say

HBK hits the Chin Music once more and CVD crumples onto the mat, HBK turns towards BazMan, he approaches him and kicks him in the gut, he Irish Whips him towards Fill who catches him in a Tilt-A-Whirl Back Breaker... Fill immediately picks up Baz into another Full Nelson... HBK warms up once more... he lunges

PE: GOD NO! Somebody stop them!

Baz manages to wriggle free and the Chin Music hits Fill cleanly on the chin, knocking him backwards and out of the ring under the bottom rope, BazMan charges forwards and ClothesLines HBK over the top rope, he then immediately dives back to cover the fallen CVD

ONE

PE: Yes!

TWO

JR: What an injustice after all Badd Company did in the end

THREE!

The bell rings and BazMan jumps to his feet

PE: He was playing possum - what a genius!

Fink: Your winners, and NEW Extreme Revolution Tag Team Champions - the Submission Masters, BazMan and Ice

The crowd are on their feet booing as Ice is rolled into the ring by Ted, BazMan helps him to his feet as they celebrate in the middle of the ring

JR: What an ending folks, who would have seen that coming?

On the outside James E has helped Fill to his feet, he is holding his chin, HBK comes up to him to apologise and Fill pushes him away, making a "What were you doing?" motion, they walk up the ramp, Fill clearly not happy with HBK's final action in the ring

JR: What can we say folks - the record breaking reign by Badd Company is over, and we have new Tag Team Champions

PE: And rightly so - I told you they would win

JR: They have big boots to fill

PE: Oh, they will

As they go through the curtain, Fill is still shouting at HBK, James E trying to calm them down - in the ring BazMan and Ice are still celebrating with Ted

Armageddon fades to a Don't Try this at home promo

[Darkstar]

ERE Royal Rumble 2004
25/01/04

We are back from the World title promo and we are backstage where Michael Cole is stood next to The Crippler causing the crowd to pop like mad

Cole: Truly shocking what Chris2K just did to HSM JR but right now I'm standing by with The Crippler who earlier tonight earned his spot in the Royal Rumble later on tonight.

The Crippler: Truly shocking? Is that supposed to be funny? Man Where's Whizz Kidd when you need him.

Cole looks down at the ground defeated.

The Crippler: Cheer up and ask me some questions, that's what you've asked me here for isn't it?

Cole: erm yes.. You just earned your spot in the Rumble, how do you feel?

The Crippler: Well it was one hell of a match Cole and despite all the crap Deadman has put in front of me I've still managed to get into the Rumble.

Crowd pops

Cole: and what's your plan now?

The Crippler: Isn't that obvious? My plan is to win the Royal Rumble later on, head to Wrestlemania and get back what is mine... The Extreme Revolution Championship.

Crowd pops again

Cole: and what about Deadman, what if he wins the title here tonight?

The Crippler: Well call I don't think you have to worry about that...

The Crippler walks off with a smile on his face leaving Cole on his own before we fade back to ringside.

Paul E: What the hell does he mean by that?

JR: I have no idea Paul but I'm telling you now The Crippler has to be the odds on favourite to win the Rumble now

Paul E: I hope not JR, I really hope not.

JR: Well we're just about ready now for the tag team championship to be decided, and what a sloberknocker this one's going to be! A fatal 4 way match between four teams and its first pin fall or submission wins!

PE: It won't be easy for the defending champions that's for sure!

JR: I just wonder if Deadman has a plan up his sleeve as he made the match, but the champions are part of the Empire! Is there going to be more to this than meets the eye? We'll find out soon but first lets take a look at how this match came about.

A highlights package is shown featuring the tag team triple threat match at Armageddon when the Submission Masters nabbed the belts from Badd Company. We then see the formation of The Destroyers and their attacks on the Brain Busters, Submission Masters and Badd Company. Following this we see highlights of the Submission Masters and Badd Company altercations as well as the Submission Masters attacking The Destroyers on the Bottom Dollar show. General scenes of the Brain Busters getting their asses kicked by everyone are also shown, then Badd Company taking the piss out of The Destroyers and costing them their first tag team match against HSM and Nicole. Finally we see the Destroyers in Deadman's Office demanding a match at the Royal Rumble and Deadman booking the fatal 4 way for the gold.

The highlights package finishes and the crowd are buzzing.

JR: Well there we have it folks, four of the hottest tag teams in wrestling today all looking to get a piece of each other and ultimately walk out of here with the gold!

PE: And these guys are all in the Royal Rumble match up later tonight as well so they had better be ready because they're gonna have a long night ahead of them! But for at least two of them success is guaranteed tonight by virtue of this contest!

"Full Nelson" starts to play and the lights flicker around. The crowd boo as Bobby Heenan leads Mateus and Iagan out on to the stage.

Fink: The following contest is the fatal four way tag team championship match! *crowd pops* Introducing the first team - led to the ring by Bobby "the Brain" Heenan *massive booing for Heenan* at a combined weight of 435 pounds - Iagan, Mateus....THE BRAIIIIINNNN BUSTERRRSSS!!!

The trio get in the ring looking smug and confident. Mateus and Iagan pose on the turnbuckles as Heenan points to them clapping and hyping them up.

JR: So this is the first team in the match, the Brain Busters. And if we're totally honest these guys haven't impressed in recent weeks but what a chance this is to shoot to the top. They have the ability if they focus.

PE: And I'm sure Heenan has them ready JR!

The music changes to "You're Unbelievable!" and the fans boo even more. Sam and MBR walk out looking cocky and they taunt the fans as they move towards the ring.

Fink: Next, introducing at a combined weight of 530 pounds, SAM H and MANBEAST RHYNO, THEEEE DESTROYERRRRSSSS!!!

Sam and MBR jump in the ring looking pumped up and ready to go - this causes the Brain Busters to get out of the ring and stand on the outside by the time keeper area.

JR: And The Destroyers look ready as well! They sure frightened off the Brain Busters in a hurry.

PE: Well these guys are pretty damn scary and are determined to get noticed. Sam and MBR were really angry at being left off last month's PPV so this month we get a double dosage of them, here and in the Rumble later on! And they stopped at nothing to ensure that how it was going to be. I like that attitude.

JR: Well these fans sure don't, at least not after the cowardly assault on Badd Company with baseball bats the other week! That was sick!

The music changes to "The Ravishing Theme" and the crowd rise to their feet cheering madly.

JR: Speaking of Badd Company, by god here they come!

Fill and HBK step out onto the staging with James E beside them, they get to the top of the ramp and stop, HBK does the crouching flex as Fill stands behind him flexing... Pyros go off behind them.

Fink: Led down the aisle by James E Cornette, at a combined weight of 480 pounds, FILL and the Sheriff of the Extreme Revolution, H-B-K....BADDDDD COMPANYYYYY!!!

As the pyros die down, they start down the ramp, HBK dancing between the attractive girls on one side, Fill going between girls on the other side... as they get to the ring Fill hops onto the apron and steps through the ropes, HBK dances up the steps, goes to step through the ropes, but stops to hump them several times... once in the ring HBK does the crouching flex once more in front of Fill, who flexes as well - more pyros go off behind them to another LOUD pop.

PE: Oh please JR would you look at all this stupid showboating! Is it really necessary? What a waste of money to have those explosives go off like that!

JR: These fans would no doubt disagree with you Paul, and so would I for that matter!

PE: Its all there to just cover up the fact that these guys really aren't all that in the ring, and I believe that will be exposed here tonight by the other teams.

Fill and HBK finally finish their posing. Sam and MBR remain in the ring over in the far corner, and they look less than impressed. The Brain Busters on the outside still look scared to get in the ring.

JR: So that just leaves one more team to come...

"Master of Puppets" strikes up and the crowd begin booing again.

JR: No doubt who the crowd favourite is in this one! But here come the champions!

Ted DiBiase leads the Submission Masters down to the ring with his trademark laugh. The wrestlers are looking equally confident.

Fink: Annnnd introducing the ERE World Tag Team Champions! Accompanied by the Million Dollar Man, Ted DiBiase - at a combined weight of 530 pounds, ICE and BAZMAN - THE SUBMISSION MASTERRRRRSSSSS!!!

Ice and Bazman suddenly pick up their speed and run to the ring. They slide in and immediately go to work on Badd Company, catching them with several punches.

JR: And we're underway here in the fatal 4 way!

The ref quickly calls for the bell to ring then tries to get some order stored.

PE: Pah this referee has lost control already JR! Look at this, it's a pier-six brawl after just 10 seconds!

The Destroyers have joined in the slug fest and the six men brawl around the ring exchanging chops, kicks and punches. The ref tries to separate Ice and Fill but HBK and MBR are fighting in the opposite corner, whilst Sam and Bazman are down on the canvas brawling. No one gains a real edge though.

JR: All hell has broken loose here at the top of the match!

Picking their spots carefully, Mateus and Iagan sneak into the ring. Mateus nails HBK across the back and Iagan does the same to Sam.
The ref manages to get Fill to step out on the apron in his corner, and Ice just along the ropes in his. He then gets involved with the remaining men and amongst a lot of trash talking and finger pointing gets Sam and MBR to leave the ring and go to their corner.

JR: Rules are simple here, or at least they should be! Two men are in the ring at any one time and you can tag anyone, not just your own partner. But if you're not in the ring, you ain't gonna win the gold of course.

Iagan also steps out, leaving HBK, Mateus and Bazman in the ring. The crowd are already chanting "H-B-K!" over and over. He looks around smiling and winks to the crowd. He then begins to stomp his foot, gearing up for some SCM whilst at the same time using his finger to play eenie-meenie-miney-mo with Bazman and Mateus. Both men look nervous at the prospect of taking the SCM so early in the match and bail out to their respective corners.

JR: And how about that, only HBK is left in the ring!

PE: And he loves it don't he?

HBK raises his arms and nods his head with a big smile, then he high fives Fill. HBK turns back to the ring and challenges someone, anyone, to get in the ring. The one person that does get in is Fill, to HBK's surprise.
Fill is seen explaining that the high five was also a tag so HBK has to leave. HBK looks upset by this but Fill insists. HBK looks around the crowd, then at the other tag teams. He shrugs, grins and exits the ring. The crowd pops loudly.

JR: No doubt who's controlling things so far here! No one seems to want a piece of Badd Company!

Fill begins flexing and there are many girly screams to be heard. However as he turns to face another side of the arena, MBR jumps in and nails him in the back, knocking him over. The crowd boo loudly.

JR: Well finally someone else has gotten in the ring and we have a 1 on 1 situation! MBR jumping Fill from behind of course - is it too much to ask that The Destroyers go in there face to face, man to man?

PE: I think it was a smart tactic by the Man Beast, and now he has the advantage!

MBR is busy laying into Fill with kicks to the ribs. He then kneels down and chokes Fill out. The ref lays on a 5 count and MBR breaks at 4. He then slaps Fill across the chest a couple of times before pulling him to his feet.
MBR whips Fill to the ropes but Fill leapfrogs over him on the return, goes to the other side and comes back with a clothesline. The crowd cheer as MBR goes down.

JR: What a clothesline by Fill and he's managed to reverse his fortunes somewhat!

MBR gets back up quickly but Fill jabs him and he goes down again. Back up and again another shot and he goes down. However this time MBR surprises Fill with a side Russian leg sweep, and Fill is on the mat. MBR then grabs him and rolls him into a rollup pin.

ONE

TWO...Fill kicks out quickly and gets to his feet. The men stare a hole through each other.

JR: Well that was the first pin attempt but it'll take a lot more than what we've seen so far for anyone to win this thing.

MBR walks over and tags Sam in, whilst not taking his eyes off Fill. Fill beckons Sam to bring it, but suddenly Ice reaches over the ropes and slaps Fill on the shoulder, tagging himself in. Fill turns round and looks furious.

JR: Well Ice just invited himself into this thing so Fill will have to leave the ring.

The crowd boo as Ice laughs at Fill, who goes to his corner and steps out. The smile is quickly wiped off Ice's face though as Sam belts him with a running clothesline - this even elicits a pop from the crowd.

PE: Well Sam reminding Ice who the opponent is at the moment!

Sam takes the fight to Ice but Ice uses his speed to duck out of reach and then he surprises Sam with a quick DDT. Sam goes down and stays down, holding his head.

JR: What a DDT Ice hit there, using his speed and agility to out-manoeuvre Sam!

PE: Well Bazman is the biggest man in this match at 300 pounds but Sam and MBR are the biggest all around team.

Ice runs off the ropes and lands a dropkick to Sam's face as he gets up. He then nails a standing leg drop and tries for a pin.

ONE

TWO

TH.... Sam kicks out.

Ice pulls Sam to his feet and goes for an Irish whip but Sam reverses it. Ice goes into the Brain Busters corner and they are quick to grab him for a few cheap shots before the referee can break them up.

JR: And now Ice is taking a pounding, the last place you wanna be is in an opponents corner, for that very reason!

Ice staggers out of the corner and Sam grabs him, nailing him with a neck breaker. Sam tries for a pin.

ONE

TWO

THR...Ice kicks out but Bazman was on his way into the ring just in case he needed to break the pin up.

JR: And there you see why it won't be easy to score a pin fall folks - whoever's getting pinned has their partner ready to run in and break the count up if necessary! That time Ice kicked out but as this match wares on we might see a lot of this going on.

PE: Well you get 5 seconds to run in and out so its within the rules. And remember the Submission Masters have to be extra worried as they could lose their titles without even being pinned!

JR: Absolutely right, the first pin fall or submission on anybody will win you the tag belts.

Sam now has Ice by the arm and is going up to the middle turnbuckles whilst holding it at an extended length, and twisting it.
Sam leaps off the post and comes down with a hard shot on Ice's bicep area. Ice shouts out as he staggers away from Sam holding his left arm. He goes a bit far though and walks into Badd Company's corner. Ice doesn't realise where he is until he looks up. HBK is winking at him. Ice turns, and there's Fill flexing at him. The crowd pop loudly.

JR: Ice went a bit far into the corner there...

Ice holds his hands up to protest, then winces and grabs his left shoulder again. Fill then reaches in and punches him in the face, and HBK slaps him across the chest, tagging in. The crowd explode as HBK humps the ropes on his way in, then dances across the ring - where he comes face to face with Sam, who looks un-impressed. Ice gets out at his corner looking worse for wear.

JR: Oh boy, HBK tagged himself in but danced right into Sam and now the former TGX running buddies, former tag team champions, they're staring each other out!

PE: You see Sam has moved on from all that prancing around and being a clown, and he is the one people take seriously now! HBK is the same old joker with the same old out of date material!

JR: I don't agree at all with you Paul but anyway this crowd is buzzing now!

HBK finally breaks out with a small grin. This annoys Sam and he looks away for a split second. HBK then raises his fists and cheers as if to say he won the staring contest. Sam looks even more pissed off and an "H-B-K!" chant fills the arena.

JR: Oh yeah he's really an out of date clown, huh Paul?

PE: These people don't have any taste!

On the outside of the ring DiBiase and Heenan are both covering their ears with their hands. James E has a big grin on his face.
HBK motions for Sam to bring the fight, but Sam smugly walks over to the Brain Busters and tags Iagan in. This brings a look of disappointment, then disgust, to HBK's face and the crowd boo loudly. Sam laughs as he leaves the ring.

JR: Sam was too scared to face HBK!

PE: Rubbish! He's playing mind games. He knew how much HBK wanted that little one on one dance there, and the crowd too. Instead he's letting HBK take on....Iagan! hahaha!

Iagan runs at HBK but HBK steps out of the way and hits a drop toe hold, taking him down. HBK gets up and poses at Sam. MBR and Sam both applaud HBK sarcastically. Iagan reaches up from the canvas and rolls HBK backwards for a quick pin.

ONE

TWO

THR....HBK kicks out and leaps to his feet. His face has changed to one of anger now, and he turns even angrier when he notices the Destroyers laughing and pointing at him.

JR: Well HBK nearly got caught out there, he needs to stay focussed on who is in the ring!

PE: Mind games JR, I told you! The Destroyers are playing HBK for a fool, which if we're honest - is what he is! Hahaha!

HBK angrily grabs Iagan into a side headlock, but Iagan lifts HBK up for a back suplex. HBK quickly punches Iagan in the head several times but still Iagan hits the move and both men are now down.

JR: Quick thinking by both men there to reverse their fortunes and its left them both lying in the ring and the referee counting them down.

The ref gets to a count of 5 before both men are up on one knee. Then both get to their feet and simultaneously charge at one another, but HBK dives and rolls at the last possible moment and no contact is made. HBK rolls up to his feet but it is here that Bazman reaches across from where he is standing and tags himself in! The crowd boo loudly.

JR: Well Bazman had obviously seen enough standing there and he wants a slice of the action!

PE: Absolutely, they can't defend their belts stood on the apron like that!

HBK grudgingly goes to his corner and gets out as Bazman wastes little time pounding Iagan with clubbing blows across the head and back.

JR: And look at the big man go to work! He's fresh and ready to go, and that mean streak is showing!

The crowd start mocking Bazman though, with a chant of "Bazman sucks! Bazman sucks!" This makes Baz look up from his pounding on Iagan and give a dirty look around to the fans. He then notices The Destroyers laughing at him and holding their hands to their ears as if to encourage a louder chant. Baz points at them and says something derogatory.

JR: And The Destroyers seem to be playing the mind games with Bazman as well here.

Iagan takes this opportunity to slip past Bazman on the canvas and get to his corner, tagging Mateus in.

PE: And now Bazman has to take on a fresh guy!

Bazman is furious as the Destroyers laugh, but before anything can happen Mateus is in Bazman's face and they go at it, blow for blow. A tussle ensues with neither man gaining an edge. They force each other into the ropes, then along into a corner - Badd Company's corner.

JR: Mateus and Baz battling all round the ring but now Badd Company are getting involved!

HBK and Fill land some hard shots on the two men in the ring and the ref tries to break them all apart. Finally Bazman backs away into the middle of the ring. Now he is trash talking at Badd Company, but Fill just flexes back while HBK grins and offers his trademark wink.
Mateus charges at Baz and dives head first into his stomach. This knocks Baz over and he groans, holding his guts.

JR: What a shot by Mateus! Bazman has to be winded!

PE: Its obvious that the guys on the outside are going to play an important role to whoever is in the ring because every time they distract someone successfully, that person tends to be paying the price!

JR: Absolutely right Paul, you can't forget the other 6 men just because they are outside the ring.

Mateus goes to whip Bazman to the ropes but Baz reverses it. As Mateus hits the ropes, he gets tripped by DiBiase on the outside, with the ref looking the other way.

JR: And hell, you can't forget about the 3 men on the outside either! And could that be a disadvantage to the Destroyers? The fact they don't have that 3RD man out there?

PE: Those guys are tough SOBs so I doubt they need a stooge! Although being honest the only stooge is James E Cornette! And the Destroyers slammed him through a poker table not long ago remember! Hahaha

JR: That's nothing to laugh about Paul! And if you don't think Heenan and DiBiase are stooges I think you need a sanity check!

Bazman has nailed a suplex on Mateus now and then he tags Ice in. Ice comes in fired up and immediately blasts Mateus with a German release suplex.

JR: Mateus is getting hammered in there now! And the Submission Masters could put this thing away!

Ice twists Mateus' left arm then blasts him with a short-arm clothesline. With Mateus down and out, Ice raises an arm as if to signal for the end.

PE: You might be right JR, what could this signal mean?

Ice sets Mateus up for the Oblivion.

JR: Oh-oh Mateus is in trouble now!

Ice gets Mateus up for the powerbomb but before he can slam him down, Iagan runs into the ring and dropkicks Mateus in the back. The momentum takes Mateus over on top off Ice's chest and the ref hits the count.

ONE

TWO

THR....a stunned Ice kicks out at the last moment. He gets up looking angry and goes over to Iagan, starting an argument. Mateus is still picking himself up. The ref gets distracted as Iagan tries to get in the ring and fight Ice. Fill takes this opportunity to stroke his ego by getting in the ring and flexing - to a huge pop and many girly screams.

PE: Oh please! Look at this, what is he doing?!

JR: I guess he's just keeping the fans entertained while there's a break in the action!

PE: The only problem with that is...he ISN'T entertaining us at all!

Fill gets out of the ring with a grin on his face. HBK looks slightly miffed that Fill was hogging the limelight, so he gets in and pulls off his low crouching pose which gets a huge pop, mostly from the women.
HBK gives a smug nod and grin to Fill, who is now the one looking slightly peeved. Fill then climbs back in the ring and poses behind HBK and the pop gets even bigger. Both men smile at each other and high five.

PE: This is ridiculous, turn around ref and get them out!

JR: Ref is still busy with Iagan and Ice - boy do they want a piece of each other!

Suddenly MBR and Sam run in and nail Badd Company while they are still posing. The fans boo as Sam and MBR laugh then stomp on BC a few times. Fill and HBK role out of the ring looking pissed off as James E checks they are ok.

Finally the ref turns around and orders the Destroyers out. Ice has tagged Bazman back in but Mateus doesn't want any part of him again so he tags MBR.
MBR gets back in the ring and locks up with Bazman.

JR: We're seeing several one on one exchanges here but with each guy getting so much rest time it won't be easy to grab a pin fall by any means!

Bazman blasts MBR with some hard punches and then hits a scoop slam.

PE: What a hard ass Bazman is! Not the prettiest or most technically sound guy but he'll bring the fight - and the pain - with aggressive force at all times!

JR: Bazman has the better of MBR so far that's obvious!

Bazman runs MBR into the ropes and catches him in the Million Dollar Dream when he bounces back!

JR: And now he has the million dollar dream locked in! A modified sleeper hold that DiBiase has taught him, and with his size and strength these sleeper holds don't last long! If MBR fades its over!

MBR is throwing his arms around in desperation but quickly starts to slow down, then drops to one knee.
Sensing what's about to happen, Sam runs in and hits Bazman, breaking the hold.

JR: Well Sam made the save but MBR is almost unconscious.

The ref gets Sam back out. Bazman pulls MBR up and hits a DDT on him.

PE: Oh man he'll be out now! MBR must be done for!

Bazman covers MBR.

ONE

TWO

MBR gets a foot on the bottom rope!

JR: Oh foot on the rope, that's the only thing that saved him there!

PE: What a guy MBR is, having the presence of mind to know where he was in the ring despite the sleeper hold and DDT!

Bazman angrily pulls MBR into the middle of the ring. He goes for the pin.

ONE

TWO

THRE....MBR just rolls a shoulder up! The crowd react with a big "oooohhhh!!"

JR: Boy Gawd that was close! MBR just kicked out in time! That was about a 2 and three-quarters!

Bazman can't believe it and argues with the ref that it was a slow count. The ref will not discuss it though so Bazman angrily kicks MBR then heads towards the turnbuckles.

JR: Is Bazman going up?

PE: We don't see this very much but he is pretty angry right now...

JR: But he's wasting valuable time here!

Bazman gets to the top rope.

JR: I don't know about this, he isn't used to being up there!

Bazman leaps off aiming for a splash, but MBR rolls out of the way and Bazman hits the deck.

JR: And he did waste too much time! Now MBR has to make a tag!

Both men stay down and a count begins.

MBR groggily starts to get up, as does Baz

MBR stumbles into a corner and reaches out for a tag - Fill gladly accepts! The crowd cheer loudly as he gets into the ring.

JR: Alright Fill has got the tag!

Fill grabs Bazman and starts laying into him with punches and chops. He then whips Baz to the ropes and greets him with a flying forearm!

PE: Oh no come on Baz get up! Make a tag!

Fill keeps it up though by locking Baz into an abdominal stretch. He uses his spare arm to flex his bicep a couple of times to show how easy the hold is.

JR: Fill getting it done here alright!

Fill then uses the arm to punch Baz a few times in the ribs. Baz is in pain and tries to reach the ropes but cant.

PE: Come on Baz! Someone get in there before he has to tap out!

JR: I don't think Baz will tap to this but its really going to wear him out...

Finally Bazman is able to get some momentum and nail Fill with a hip toss. He collapses into the ropes and tries to recover, but Fill is quickly up and he clotheslines Baz out of the ring.

JR: Baz goes to the outside - and if that happens later on in the royal rumble he would be eliminated!

PE: Im starting to wonder if these guys should be in the rumble after all! They're taking a beating in this match!

JR: Some more than others, but they all volunteered for the Rumble so they knew what they were getting in for tonight.

Fill slides out of the ring after Baz and goes to whip him into the steel ring post, but Baz reverses it. Fill just stops short of hitting the post, but Baz runs in behind him and squashes him against it. Fill's head and chest whack the steel and he goes down hard.

JR: What a shot by Bazman! Fill could be out cold!

PE: You don't wanna have a 300 pounder avalanche you against a solid steel post, that's for sure.

Bazman rolls into the ring and the ref begins to count Fill out.

JR: Well I guess the Submission Masters don't mind winning by a count out as they'll retain their titles.

Bobby Heenan tells the Brain Busters to get Fill back in the ring so he can't be counted out. He then nails Fill with a hard kick.

JR: And look at the cheap shot by Heenan!

The fans boo and begin to chant "WEASEL! WEASEL!" at him.

Iagan and Mateus drop down from the apron and grab Fill up. They roll him into the ring. Bazman tags Ice back in.

PE: I like what the Submission Masters are doing by just tagging each other in.

JR: Well it gives them the best chance to win but equally it means they are getting more tired than everyone else.

Ice grabs Fill who is still not quite with it and he locks in the Cobra Clutch. Fill's face turns to one of pain and he tries to get to the ropes but struggles to move at all.

JR: And this could be all she wrote! Will Fill tap out?!

PE: He's in the middle of the ring with nowhere to go!

HBK runs in and hits a short dropkick to Ice. The fans cheer and HBK doesn't leave the ring - as Ice gets up and turns - BAM!!!

JR: SWEET CHIN MUSIC! OH MY GAWD!! HBK NAILED ICE WITH THE SWEET CHIN MUSIC!

PE: Out of the blue! He shouldn't even be in there! Come on ref do something!

The fans are going mental, Ice and Fill are both lying in the ring and the ref is trying to get HBK out.

A replay is shown of the SCM.

JR: Not only did HBK probably save the match but he was crafty enough to hit the SCM on Ice and knock him out cold! Its anybody's match once again!

Fill has managed to get up slowly and he sees his chance, nailing the Kiss-this-Bitch elbow drop and covering Ice.

ONE

TWO

THRE....Iagan just breaks up the count in time!

JR: Oh man! Iagan saves the day right there, it was almost a win for Badd Company! Despite being groggy Fill was able to get the elbow drop in and almost won it!

PE: Oh yeah and even when he's half out of it he doesn't forget the posing with the kiss on the bicep I noticed!

Fill looks gutted but hasn't got the energy to go after Iagan. Instead he rolls over and tags HBK in. Ice is starting to come around now.

HBK however, runs across the ring and back, nailing the front flip thunder on Ice! The crowd goes bananas. HBK covers Ice.

ONE

TWO

THR...Ice gets a foot under the bottom rope. The fans "oooh!" in suspense.

JR: yet again! How close was that?! Who's gonna win this thing?!

HBK pulls Ice to his feet but Ice manages to get a thumb to the eye. HBK backs off holding his eye.

JR: A cheap tactic there by Ice but he was clearly getting desperate. Ice reaches for the first tag he can get, which is Sam.

PE: Oh and finally the Submission Masters are both out of the ring!

Sam runs in and attacks HBK while he's still nursing his eye.

JR: Yeah and Sam couldn't get in quick enough this time - now HBK wasn't able to face him straight up!

PE: Oh what rubbish you talk Ross! Sam can only fight what's in front of him and if HBK is gonna cry that's not his fault!

JR: HBK is not crying! I don't care how big or tough you are, a thumb to the eye HURTS! And that's the bottom line!

PE: well then Sam is smart to take advantage!

Sam has HBK down on the mat. He looks over at Fill and taunts him by doing a mock flex. Fill looks furious and is ready to step in the ring but the ref tells him not to. Sam goes back to punching HBK in the head then applies a headlock, rolling HBK on to his back whilst keeping the hold on.

The ref counts:

ONE

TWO

HBK is able to use his body to roll Sam over so he is now on his shoulders.

ONE

TWO

Sam still has the headlock on though and he rolls HBK over again, releases the hold and hooks a leg in a small package variance.

ONE

TWO

THR...HBK reverses the pin so Sam's shoulders are down!

ONE

HBK hooks a leg

TWO

THR...Sam kicks out and this time they both get to their feet. The fans are cheering.

JR: Well several pin attempts there but neither man stayed down!

HBK raises his arms and does the thumbs and the crowd chant along: H! B! K!

Sam looks un-impressed and runs at HBK.

JR: Badd Company are without doubt the crowd favourites here and HBK just reminding Sam of that.

PE: Well Sam used to have all that in the TGX days but he chose to go without it, and you know what? He became Extreme Revolution Champion! Shady or not, that's what happened. He realised that greed and knowing the right people is what gets you to the top in this business, not the fans!

JR: I don't buy that at all! HBK and Fill are both former champions!

PE: HBK was what I call, a fluke! And has Fill been the champ since joining Badd Company? Well has he?

JR: No but that...

PE: there we go then! Now shut up and do your job!

JR: That would be a contradiction Paul! How can I shut up AND do my job? My job is to talk! And right now I'm gonna talk about this match!

HBK and Sam are still battling, fairly evenly now. HBK manages to raise Sam up for an atomic drop though, and this shifts the momentum his way.

HBK runs Sam down with a clothesline, then stands in a corner - and stomps his foot. The crowd buzz slightly. He stomps again. The buzz gets way louder. Another stomp - the fans are going crazy now in anticipation!

PE: Not another Sweet Chin music! And it'll be legal this time! Watch out Sam!

Suddenly though, Mateus reaches over and slaps HBK on the shoulder! HBK is furious as Mateus gets in the ring, and the crowd boo.

JR: Well Mateus tagged himself in before HBK could deliver the kick, and HBK is hot about that!

HBK is struggling with the ref trying to get to Mateus, who is busy pounding Sam across the ring.
With the ref tied up, the Submission Masters take advantage and help Mateus triple team Sam in their corner with punches. Sam groggily stands by the ropes - and Ice leaps off the apron, yanking Sam's head down and clothes lining him on the top rope! Sam flies backwards into the ring. The ref has now got HBK to step out and he turns back to the action.

Mateus now tries to lock in the half crab, wincing Sam's body up as he bends the leg. Sam shouts in pain and tries to move near the ropes. He slowly inches towards them but then Mateus drags him back to the middle.

JR: My god its gonna be over! Sam has to tap out soon!

MBR and Bazman both run into the ring at the same moment to break the hold.

PE: So much for the alliance between Mateus and the Submission Masters!

JR: Well their belts were on the line there!

MBR and Bazman take issue with each other making the save however, and they get into a brawl. This brings Ice in to help out his partner and Mateus has also got involved now, so Iagan jumps in to help!

JR: Oh boy its chaos in there now! Its become a free for all!

Bodies are getting knocked around, out of the ring, into the corner, and so on. Meanwhile Sam has managed to pull himself up using the ropes. He looks pretty groggy but no one is paying any attention to him so he flops into a corner of the ring - but suddenly there's Fill stood in front of him! Sam raises his arms in defence and Fill just grins and flexes.
The others are still battling across the other side of the ring, with many of them outside now. Bodies are hitting the steel steps, the apron and the mats.

JR: Its bedlam in there! And look at Fill taunting Sam!

Fill keeps Sam distracted as HBK sneaks up outside the ring to Sam's corner - he then reaches in, grabs Sam's legs and trips him. He then pulls Sam by his feet straight out of the ring - one leg either side of the post!

JR: Oh no!

PE: ooooh that's gotta hurt JR! And its gotta be illegal!

JR: Well this ref has lost control here!

The crowd shout "ooooh!!!" as HBK delivers the blow to Sam. Sam's face expresses how much that hurt. HBK grins as he gets in the ring. He high fives Fill but the moment doesn't last as Iagan nails Fill and Ice hits a dropkick to HBK's head!

JR: Oh and there go Badd Company! They're well and truly in this brawl now!

Badd Company get back up and join in the melee. On the outside Bazman suplexes Mateus over on the floor, and then DiBiase gets a few cheap shots in. Heenan shoves DiBiase and they get into a shouting match! James E comes over and he too gets involved.

JR: Even the managers are getting into it now! This is mayhem!

PE: Well the ref should just DQ everyone and give the Submission masters their belts back!

Inside the ring MBR comes out of nowhere with a GORE on Iagan!

PE: gore! Gore! GOREEE!!!!!

JR: Iagan almost got snapped in half! MBR where did he come from?!

MBR gets back up, turns round and Fill catches him with a quick Filler!

JR: My god the heavy duty moves are coming thick and fast now!

Sam has rolled to the outside and is still re-cooperating, but its not long before Bazman spins him around and nails him with a knee to the guts then rams him head first into the steps.

JR: Its gone absolutely crazy, who the hell are the legal men?!

PE: I don't know! Don't ask me!

HBK has gone un-noticed for a couple of moments and he takes advantage by climbing to the top turnbuckles!

JR: Hey where's he going?!

Spotting a group of 3 guys - Ice, Mateus and MBR (who just rolled out of the ring and looking groggy from the Filler) down near the entrance aisle, HBK leaps off with a flying cross body block, and he takes down all 3 guys! The crowd eat it up!

JR: What a move! He went airborne! HBK took out 3 men for the price of one!

A replay is shown.

PE: He got impressive hang time on that JR, but he hurt himself too! He's so stupid! Hahaha!

HBK stays down with the others who he landed on.
The ref is busy trying to break up a fight between Sam and Bazman around the TV side of the ring, and Iagan takes advantage by picking up a steel chair and cracking it over Fill's head.

JR: Steel chair to the head! That's sick! DQ the Brain Busters already! Fill could be unconscious!

Fill is down and holding his head but is still moving.
HBK has got up now and he runs round to Iagan - BAM!!!

PE: NOOOOO SWEET CHIN MUSIC!!

JR: HBK strikes again!! Iagan is down now!
Sam hits a suplex on Bazman on the outside of the ring, nearly taking out the ref whilst doing it.

PE: Bazman is gonna have back pain in the morning after that!

Ice has got back in the ring and the ref follows. Ice starts arguing with him about count outs, DQ's and who is legal and the ref does his best to explain.

JR: Well Ice is clearly trying to get the match ended someway or another here. Not one guy has got away without taking a beating though, and no one is safe!

Mateus and MBR continue to brawl outside the ring as Fill, Bazman and Iagan lay down and out. HBK takes his chance and sneaks into the ring. He begins to stomp his foot as Ice carries on talking to the referee. The crowd are popping and buzzing again.

PE: Look round Ice! Before its too late!

HBK runs in and BAM!!!

JR: SWEET CHIN MUSIC AGAIN!!! BY GAWD!!

PE: I don't believe this! Damn that HBK!

JR: The sheriff is on fire here at the Royal Rumble!
HBK is about to make the pin but Sam has been waiting for his chance and sneaks in, grabs HBK from behind drops him with a vicious DDT!

JR: Oh no! Sam was waiting in the wings!

Sam drops on to Ice, who seems to be out cold.

ONE

TWO

Bazman slides into the ring and races over...

THREE!!!! The bell rings and "You're Unbelievable!" plays. Bazman, a split second too late with the save, looks stunned. HBK, just sitting up from the DDT, looks gutted.

Sam sits up looking worn out but raises his arms. MBR slides into the ring celebrating and tries to help Sam up. The other guys are coming to outside the ring and they all look pissed off or gutted, or both.

Fink: Here are your winners....and NEEEEWWWWW Extreme Revolution tag team champions - THE DESTROYERRRSSSS!!!!

The ref hands Sam and MBR their belts. Bazman has his hands on his hips with a look of disbelief.

JR: I'll be damned! The Destroyers have won the gold! Sam stole the victory!

PE: What a match and what deserving winners!

JR: How can you say that Paul E? HBK had the match won, he delivered the knockout punch, and Sam blind-sided him to steal the pin on Ice!

Ice has rolled out of the ring and looks a mess.
HBK has joined Fill on the outside and has a look of rage on his face. Heenan escorts the Brain Busters out of there with a look of displeasure on his face.

JR: We had no idea what to expect in this one and all hell broke loose at the end, but it's the Destroyers who come out on top, perhaps more by luck than judgement!

PE: I don't know JR, Sam and MBR said they’ get it done and they have. While everyone else was either KO’ or in the ring, Sam waited for just the right moment! He let HBK do the hard work, then jumped on him to steal the pin.

(A replay of the finish airs a few times)
The Submission Masters slowly leave ringside looking very pissed off.

Fill and HBK furiously get back in the ring, which gets a big pop from the crowd - but the ref is quick to jump in their faces and the Destroyers are quick to bail out of the ring with the belts. The crowd then boo noisily just as they did when the bell rang.

JR: it was a dirty, action packed match in a lethal environment, and for coming out the winners you have to give them some credit, but I don't think Badd Company will be too impressed because they should have by god been the winners tonight!

PE: JR the ref let the match get out of control and it really did become a sloberknocker! Now if he was happy to let it continue like that then its first in, best dressed! And Sam out-smarted everyone.

JR: Well you can say that all you want but I still think Badd Company got ripped off in this one! And now how will The Empire and Deadman react to the loss of the tag team belts?

PE: We didn't see any signs of tricks up the sleeve in this one - I feel maybe Deadman thought his men could get it done out there, or does he have even bigger plans for them?

JR: It doesn't get much bigger than being tag team champs and right now we have Jerry Lawler backstage with the new champions!

The scene goes to a locker room where Sam and MBR are still celebrating and shouting, and already have a bottle of bubbly open.

JL: Well what commotion we've got here as The Destroyers have won the tag title belts after the hard fought match you just witnessed! And guys - not too much champagne now, remember you're not for the night yet!

MBR: No we're not done yet and we're pretty banged up, but what a rush this is! What a match to win and become the new champs and with this kind of adrenaline I could go out there for the rumble right now and go another hour!

Sam: Wooooo we did it! We're back in the picture now! That will show those morons who left us out of the spotlight for so long and ignored us! We MADE them notice us and give us opportunity, and now look!

Sam raises his belt with one hand and gulps some champagne with the other.

JL: You guys are obviously ecstatic to win the tag title belts so quickly after forming a team, but what about the way you won it? Sam, you let HBK hit his Sweet Chin Music on Ice before sneaking up behind him to take him out, and then stealing the pin for yourself!

Sam: Yeah I did just that, and I’ do it again if it means we get the win! I've said all along I carried HBK in TGX *crowd boo in the arena* and this showed just who was the smarter man.

MBR: And Badd Company can come after us, try to earn a title shot or whatever they wanna do, it doesn't matter *** we'll kick their asses again! We are the tag team champs and I am going to Wrestlemania!

Sam: You ain't going to Wrestlemania!

MBR: Am so! I'm on such a high now I know I can win the rumble too!

Sam: Sod off you're winning the rumble! I'M gonna win the rumble!

Sam and MBR go face to face arguing about it as Lawler steps forward.

JL: Well what competitive drive these men have, already looking to the next chance for success, and its coming up very soon - the royal rumble match itself!


MBR and Sam are quite animated and aggressive in the background with their arguing.

JL: They don't look like new tag champs but this is what the adrenaline rush can do to you I guess! And when alls said and done, win or lose in the rumble later on, these guys are going home champions tonight! Back to you JR.

JR: Thank you King and boy those guys had better get showered and get some ice packs on their legs while they still have time.

PE: No doubt all 8 men in that match were put through their paces and will be fatigued somewhat in the rumble match but they all want that as much as they wanted the tag titles so they'll be ready! Speaking of Ice though, he was the man who got pinned and I wonder if that will affect him negatively going into the rumble, or maybe just fire him up even more to try and redeem himself!

JR: Well we shall find out soon enough and you know, I don't know if any scores really got settled tonight though. If anything the Submission Masters and Badd Company will be after the Destroyers even more now, and I'm pretty sure they didn't settle their own score tonight.

PE: But what a gruelling contest it was, and we crown the newest team in the ERE as our new tag team champs! I say well done MBR, and well done Sam H! hahaha!

The scene now fades to an Extreme Revolution Live promo.

[Darkstar]

ERE Raw
02/02/04

RAW returns from the Wrestlemania count down promo and we are in the ring with Lillian Garcia.

Lillian: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and it's for the Extreme Revolution Tag Team Championships!

The bell rings and the arena goes dark and then fills with white strobing as "****in in the Bushes" hits and the crowd pops like mad.
Moments later The Crippler comes walking out through the entrance way as the crowd pops even louder.

Lillian: Introducing first from Glasgow, Scotland weighing in at 235lbs. .... The Crippler!

The Crippler continues down the ramp and gets to ringside where he slides into the ring and begins to head over to each corner of the ring and raises his arms into the air as the crowd goes nuts.

JR: What an ovation for The Crippler folks and we find out earlier tonight that The Crippler is going to get the chance to head to Wrestlemania to face the Extreme Revolution Champion but in order to do that he has to beat Sam at No Way Out.

Paul E: Well that's not going to happen JR, Sam is far superior athlete to The Crippler and he is going to prove that tonight and he is going to prove that at No Way Out!

'****in in the bushes' fades out and is replaced by 'You're gonna pay' which causes the crowd to boo like mad as Deadman walks out onto the stage.

Lillian: and his partner from Burnley, Lancashire weighing in at 258lbs. representing the Empire, he is the Owner of Extreme Revolution Entertainment.... Deadman!

Deadman heads down the ramp and gets to ringside, he quickly runs up the steps and steps into the ring and is about to go across the ring but The Crippler stops him and gets in his face causing the crowd to go nuts as the two go face to face in the middle of the ring.

JR: This situation is extremely volatile folks, these two men hate each other with a passion.

Paul E: Yes they do JR at one time they were great friends they worked together as a unit and were very successful but that has all gone now, but here tonight they are going to have to put their differences aside and try and work together here like they have done in the past and personally I don't think they can do it.

JR: Neither do I Paul too much has happened between these two men for them being able to team up here tonight and I have a feeling that things might explode between these two.

Paul E: Well it might do JR and if it does I have a feeling Deadman is going to kick Crippler's ass all over this arena.

JR: Well that might happen Paul but then again it might not be.

The Crippler and Deadman are still yelling at each other when 'You're Unbelievable' hits causing the crowd to boo like mad.

Lillian: and their opponents at a combined weight of 530 lbs. They are the Extreme Revolution Tag Team Champions... Sam, ManBeastRHYNO.... The Destroyers!

Sam and ManBeastRHYNO appear on the stage and the crowd boo like mad as they slowly walk down the ramp.

JR: Well here are the Extreme Revolution Tag Team Champions folks and it from what we have seen the past couple of weeks these two men have had a few issues as well.

Paul E: No Doubt JR, they are both very successful in single competition here in the Extreme Revolution and it's hard for them to fully concentrate on being a tag team.

JR: Well the way I see it Paul, is that ever since Sam won the Royal Rumble, MBR has been a little jealous and that's why he went to HBK earlier and has that number one contenders match for the Intercontinental Championship at No Way Out.

The Destroyers are now both in the ring and are beginning to talk over strategy as Deadman and The Crippler are arguing over who is going to start the match.

Paul E: But at least The Destroyers seem to be getting along here JR, unlike Deadman and The Crippler and I tell you what JR, I'm personally holding Commissioner HBK responsible for the out come of this match because he set this up knowing that no one in this match likes Deadman.

JR: Nobody likes Deadman!

Paul E: I do!

JR: Well that's because you're a kiss ass Paul.

The referee takes the tag belts from the Destroyers and shows them to Deadman and The Crippler but they are still arguing with each other, the referee then heads into the centre of the ring and shows them off to the camera before handing them over to the timekeeper.

Deadman is stilling yelling at The Crippler and ordering him out of the ring, but The Crippler just ignores Deadman and heads straight over to Sam, spins him around and boots him in the stomach a couple of times as the referee quickly calls for the bell.

JR: and were underway here folks.

The Crippler backs Sam off to the ropes with the boots and once at the ropes The Crippler strikes Sam across the chest with a stinging knife edge chop that echoes through the arena. Sam clenches onto his chest in pain, but Crippler moves Sam's arms and strikes him again causing Sam to roll across the ropes into the corner.

JR: Those chops have got to hurt like hell.

The Crippler boots Sam in the stomach one more time before grabbing hold of his arm before whipping him across the ring hard into the opposite corner. The Crippler quickly follows him in and hits him with a hard clothesline that causes Sam to stumble out of the corner, The Crippler then hooks Sam up before drilling him into the mat with a hard snap suplex as the crowd pops.

JR: And oh man what a suplex, and you have to admit Paul that The Crippler has taken this match so far to Sam.

Paul E: That's only because he jumped him from behind JR, Sam wasn't ready.

JR: Oh please, Sam's the number one contender for the Extreme Revolution Championship Paul, he should always be prepared.

The Crippler is now back up to his feet and begins to pull Sam up to his feet but Sam begins to hit The Crippler in the stomach a few times stopping him. Sam gets up to his feet and rams his knee into The Crippler's stomach causing The Crippler to drop to his knees. Sam then pulls The Crippler up to his feet and whips him into the ropes, The Crippler comes bouncing back as Sam goes for a clothesline which The Crippler manages to duck and in the same motion locks his arms around Sam's waist and drives him into the mat with a hard German suplex as the crowd cheers like mad.

JR: Sam was beginning to get the advantage there folks but The Crippler cut him off with that hard German suplex.

The Crippler gets back up to his feet with his back towards Deadman who leans over the top rope and slaps The Crippler across the back. The referee signals that a tag was made and begins to force The Crippler out of the ring as Deadman steps into the ring with a huge smile on his face.

Paul E: HAHA That's it Deadman show him who the boss is

JR: That was a hard tag from Deadman

Paul E: It was great.

Deadman heads straight over to Sam and pulls him up to his feet, Deadman then whips Sam into the corner and follows him in but Sam gets his feet up causing Deadman to charge straight into them. Sam grabs Deadman and pulls him up to his feet before whipping him into the Destroyers corner. Sam slowly moves over to Deadman who is stunned in the corner. Sam tags MBR in and the pain begin to stomp in Deadman's stomach as the crowd boos like mad.

Paul E: Come on referee that's not right

JR: It's isn't Paul, and can you listen to these fans they are booing this.

Paul E: That's because these morons respect Deadman

JR: HA I don't think so Paul

Sam exits to the apron as MBR pulls Deadman up to his feet in the corner and hits him with a reverse elbow to the side of the head. MBR then moves over to The Crippler and begins to taunt him getting him to come into the ring causing the referee to stop him. While this is happening Sam begins to choke Deadman with the tag rope as the crowd boos like mad.

JR: Oh come on he's using the tag rope dammit

Paul E: Yes he is JR and I want to know if The Crippler is doing this on purpose here.

JR: What the hell are you on about Paul?

Paul E: Well it's simple JR, The Crippler doesn't like Deadman so what better way to hurt him then to let Sam and MBR double team him like this!

JR: Oh don't be ridiculous Paul.

The Crippler has now exited the ring and Sam removes the tag rope from Deadman's throat who collapses in the corner gasping for air. MBR pulls Deadman up to his feet and drags him into the centre of the ring where he slams him hard into the mat, MBR drops to his knees and goes for a quick cover hooking Deadman's leg.

ONE

TWO

THR.... Deadman kicks out

JR: That's the first near fall of this match up folks and I believe it's going to take a lot more than that to get a win over Deadman

Paul E: You damn right it is JR, Deadman is one tough S.O.B in that ring.

MBR gets up to his feet as Deadman slowly gets up to his, MBR boots Deadman in the stomach and whips him into the ropes, Deadman comes bouncing back and heads straight into MBR who hits Deadman with a hard spine buster as the crowd boos, MBR quickly goes for another cover.

ONE


TWO


THRE... Deadman kicks out

JR: Oh man what a spine buster

Paul E: That knocked the wind out of Deadman's sail JR and I think Deadman could do with a tag round about now.

MBR gets up to his feet and stomps on Deadman a few times before pulling him up to his feet and dragging him over to the Destroyers corner where MBR tags Sam into the match. Sam steps into the ring and begins to lay into Deadman with some hard right hands before he pulls him out of the corner and whips him into the ropes, Deadman comes bouncing back as Sam goes for a back body drop but Deadman stops in his tracks and manages to kick Sam in the shoulder catching him by surprise. Deadman then boots Sam in the stomach and plants Sam into the mat with a hard ddt as the crowd pops.

JR: What a ddt by Deadman!

Paul E: You damn right it was JR.

Deadman stumbles back up to his feet and as he does he stumbles towards his corner where The Crippler is waiting and tags himself in hard as the crowd pops.

Paul E: HEY!

JR: Deadman did it earlier Paul

The Crippler jumps into the ring and gives Deadman a cocky smile, Deadman looks pissed off and grabs hold of Crippler's arm while screaming 'what do you think your doing' at him. The Crippler motions that he made the tag and tells Deadman to get out of the ring, but Deadman doesn't and he shoves The Crippler backwards as the crowd gasp.

JR: Uhoh this is going to explode Paul

Paul E: Come on Deadman kick his ass!

The Crippler now looks pissed off and moves straight back over to Deadman and shoves him hard into the corner causing the crowd to pop like mad.

Paul E: Hey!

The Crippler turns his back on Deadman and begins to head towards Sam who has just tagged MBR in but Deadman quickly charges at Crippler from behind and whacks him across the back with a double axe sending him crashing to the mat as the crowd boos like mad.

JR: What in the hell?

Paul E: HAHAHAHA He deserved that

Deadman raises his arms in the air and walks out of the ring with a huge smile on his face as MBR begins to stomp on the back of The Crippler as the crowd continue to boo like mad.

JR: I can't believe this folks, Deadman just blindsided his tag team partner here and now MBR is kicking the hell out of him

Paul E: Well that's what he gets for messing around with the boss JR.

MBR drags The Crippler up to his feet and drags him over to a neutral corner where he smashes his face into the top turnbuckle a few times before hitting him in the stomach with several hard rights as the crowd boos

JR: Those are illegal fists

Paul E: So what JR.

The referee yells at MBR who then pulls The Crippler out of the corner picks him up and then drops Crippler stomach first across his knee causing Crippler to yell out in agony.

JR: Oh man

Paul E: What a move by the ManBeast JR and what that does is soften The Crippler up for the Gore.

MBR gets up to his feet and slowly pulls The Crippler up to his feet with him, MBR hooks The Crippler up and hits him hard with a snap suplex before floating over and going for the pin.

ONE


TWO



THRE.... The Crippler kicks out.

JR: What impact on that suplex

Paul E: It was great JR, he hit that better than The Crippler ever could

JR: I don't know about that Paul.

MBR gets up to his feet as The Crippler slowly gets up to his feet, MBR boots him in the stomach and whips him hard into the Destroyers corner. MBR quickly follows in and drives his shoulder straight into The Crippler's stomach causing him to fall to his knees in agony. MBR gets up to his feet and tags Sam in causing the crowd to boo like mad.

JR: Another tag from the tag team champions and at the moment they are not showing any signs of them not getting along.

Paul E: That's because they're professionals JR

JR: And Deadman and The Crippler aren't?

Paul E: Well Deadman is, The Crippler? Well he isn't he's nothing more than a thug.

JR: Oh please

Sam pulls The Crippler up to his feet and drives him backwards into the Destroyers corner where he begins to hit Crippler with repeated shoulder barges as the crowd boos like mad.

JR: and look at this Paul, they seem to be working on the stomach area of The Crippler here.

Paul E: Well that's smart JR.

JR: Maybe so Paul.

Sam moves out of the corner and pulls The Crippler with him before putting The Crippler in an abdominal stretch causing The Crippler to scream out in agony.

JR: Oh man we've not seen this in a while Paul, it's the abdominal stretch.

Paul E: and this has got to be killing The Crippler here, this works on the rib area making it harder for him to breath.

After a moment of having the move applied Sam reaches out to MBR who grabs hold of Sam's arm and begins to pull back giving him extra leverage causing the Crippler to scream out in pain as the crowd boos like mad.

JR: Hey they're cheating dammit

Paul E: If the referee can't see it, it's not happening

JR: What a load of bull Paul.

The referee moves around a little so Sam and MBR quickly release their grip, but they soon do it again as the referee moves back causing the Crippler to once again to scream out in agony.

JR: Oh come on dammit. This isn't right

The camera has a shot at Deadman's who has a smile across his face

JR: and the sick ******* is liking this Paul.

Paul E: HAHA I love this as well JR.

The referee gets up to his feet this time and sees the grip Sam and MBR have so he immediately kicks their arms causing the grip to be broken and at the same time The Crippler manages to hip toss Sam over before collapsing to the mat himself.

JR: Finally!

Paul E: The referee can't do that!

JR: Yes he can Paul, the Destroyers were breaking the rules.

The Crippler slowly begins to get up to his feet and looks directly at Deadman and begins to move over to the corner as Sam moves over to his corner.

JR: The Crippler going for the tag here

Paul E: So is Sam JR.

Sam tags in MBR who quickly charges across the ring as The Crippler reaches Deadman, Deadman jumps off the apron just before MBR drives his knee straight into the spine of The Crippler causing him to crumble on the mat as Deadman laughs from the floor. The crowd are now booing like hell

JR: The sonuvabitch why didn't he take the tag dammit?

Paul E: HAHA That had to be the greatest thing I've ever seen JR.

JR: It's sick Paul, they're supposed to be tag team partner dammit and Deadman is screwing The Crippler over here.

MBR pulls The Crippler up to his feet and backs him into the corner and boots him in the stomach before whipping him across the ring into the Destroyers corner. MBR quickly follows in and hits The Crippler with a hard clothesline staggering him out of the corner, MBR quickly scoops The Crippler up before slamming him hard into the mat as the crowd boos like mad.

Paul E: What a huge slam from ManBeastRHYNO JR.

MBR pulls The Crippler out of the corner slightly before he begins to climbs up to the top rope.

JR: What the hell is MBR doing here?

Paul E: He could be going for his moonsault JR

MBR readies himself on the top rope and looks back at The Crippler one more time before he leaps backwards going for the moonsault but at the last second The Crippler rolls out of the way sending MBR crashing into the mat as the crowd pops like mad.

JR: MBR just crashed and damn sure burned

Paul E: NO, NO, NO come on MBR make the tag.

The Crippler slowly begins to crawl back towards Deadman who is now back up on the apron, but as he does MBR tags Sam in who runs into the ring and grabs hold of The Crippler by the foot stopping him from moving any closer as the crowd boos like mad.

Paul E: Sam stops him, HAHA

JR: This isn't right come on Deadman, get in there and help Crippler out dammit.

Paul E: Why the hell should he JR?

JR: Because he's his damn tag team partner Paul that's why.

The Crippler gets up to onto one foot with Sam hold of the other before hitting Sam in the back of the head with an Enzugiri causing the crowd to pop like mad.

JR: HE did it... Come on Crippler make the tag son!

Paul E: No, No, No!

The Crippler gets up to his feet and slowly moves over to Deadman in the corner and puts his arm out for the tag but once again Deadman jumps off of the apron causing the crowd to boo like hell once again

JR: The Sonuvabitch, make the tag dammit.

The Crippler reaches the corner and looks down at Deadman and begins to yell at him as Deadman just smiles. MBR has now got up to his feet and is in position for the Gore causing the crowd to boo even louder.

JR: Oh no.... Crippler watch out!

Deadman points behind The Crippler with a huge smile on his face, The Crippler turns around and as he does MBR comes charging at him with the Gore but The Crippler gets the hell out of the way casing MBR to crash into the middle turnbuckle as the crowd pops like mad.

JR: He missed it! MBR missed the Gore!

The Crippler grabs hold of MBR by the tights and tosses him through the middle rope to the outside. The Crippler turns around and is met with a boot to the stomach from Sam who quickly goes for the H-Bomb but The Crippler manages to block it and back body drops him to the mat.

JR: The Crippler reversed the H-Bomb! Come on Crippler!

Paul E: NOOOOO

The Crippler gets back up to his feet as does Sam slowly, The Crippler boots Sam in the stomach and plants him straight into the mat with The Crippler Cutter causing the crowd to erupt with cheers.

JR: He hit it! The Crippler Cutter! It's over!!!!

Paul E: NOOOOO

The Crippler drops to his knees and covers Sam

ONE



TWO



THRE..... Deadman pulls The Crippler out of the ring causing the crowd to boo like hell

JR: The *******, what in the hell did he do that for?

The Crippler having landed on his feet looks at Deadman pissed and blasts him straight across the face with a right hand knocking him to the arena floor causing the crowd to pop like mad.

JR: YES, the sonuvabitch deserved that!

The Crippler quickly rolls into the ring and covers Sam once again this time hooking his leg.

ONE



TWO

Paul E: Come on Sam!!!


THREE

JR: YESSSSSSSSSSSSS

The bell rings as '****in in the bushes' hits causing the crowd to pop like mad.

Lillian: Here are your winners and NEW EXTREME REVOLUTION TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS!!!! THE CRIPPLER AND DEADMAN!!!!

JR: He did it, The Crippler has won the tag team championships and he did it with little help from Deadman!

Paul E: I can't believe this! This isn't right JR.

The Crippler is now up to his feet and the referee hands him one of the tag team titles as he raises his arm, the referee then goes to leave the ring but The Crippler stops him and takes the other belt causing the crowd to pop even louder

Paul E: What the hell is he doing?

JR: It looks like he's taking both tag team belts Paul!

Paul E: He can't do that

JR: It looks like he is Paul.

The Crippler has now exited the ring and is heading up the ramp with both tag team championship belts in his hands as the crowd continue to cheer like mad.

Paul E: He's a thieve JR, one of those belongs to Deadman.

JR: Well The Crippler did most of the work Paul, he over came everything in this match and he deserves those belts and if what happened in that ring happens at No Way Out, The Crippler will be going to WRESTLEMANIA!!!!

Raw fades to Commercials as The Crippler turns around at the top of the ramp holding both tag team championship belts up above his head.

Back from the promo

The bell rings

Lillian: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and it is for the Extreme Revolution Tag Team Championships!

Pop from the crowd

'****in in the Bushes' hits and the crowd cheering gets even louder

Lillian: Introducing first, from Glasgow, Scotland. Weighing 235lbs, he is an Extreme Revolution Tag Team Champion ? THE CRIPPLER!

Crippler comes walking out through the entrance and the crowd continues to cheer.

JR: Well hes certainly been a busy boy tonight.

Paul E: Indeed he has. I still cannot believe that he gave Deadman's title belt away. Talk about a lack of respect.

Crippler slides into the ring and walks over to the corner. He climbs the turnbuckles and raises the tag team title belt in the air as the flashbulbs go off. He climbs down from the turnbuckles and walks over to the other corner, climbs the turnbuckles and again raises the title belt.

JR: Well this has certainly been a unique night. Earlier tonight Crippler gave one of those tag team title belts to a complete stranger and this is now going to be a handicap match. It will be Crippler facing Sam H and ManBeastRHYNO.

Lillian: And his opponents?.

'You're Gonna Pay' hits and the crowd explodes with noise, all of it booing.

JR: What the hell?

Crippler looks up at the entrance way with a surprised expression on his face

Paul E: Looks like Deadman is gonna partner Crippler after all!

Deadman comes walking out through the entrance way with a microphone in his hand.

Paul E: And it looks like he is gonna speak before this match.

JR: Great. That's just what we need.

Deadman: Cut the music now!

'You're Gonna Pay' fades out

The crowd booing now becomes more audible
Deadman: Crippler, I want you to listen real carefully?.

Deadman gets drowned out by the booing. A massive 'Asshole' chant starts up.

The Crippler: Oh I'm listening alright and by the sounds of it 15,000 people are calling you an asshole.

Deadman?s face goes bright red with anger

Deadman: Oh no, the asshole is standing right in that very ring! You are the asshole Crippler! What the hell were you playing at earlier? Huh? First, you were late for the show. That is something I don?t approve of but then you go to McDonalds and hand some greasy little twirp MY tag team belt! Then I go out there to get my belt back off him and he isn't there! Why? Because you told him to tell his boss to take the job and stick it!

Pop from the crowd

The Crippler: Well, I can tell you are a little pissed there but?..

Deadman: But nothing! I'm talking and you are gonna listen dammit!

The crowd starts booing

Deadman: You made a grave error earlier Crippler. When you gave that title away earlier you may just as well have spat right in my face. See, you didn't just screw me earlier by giving my belt away. You screwed yourself.

Crippler looks a little confused

JR: What does he mean by that?

Deadman: When you gave my title away you robbed me of the chance of being able to call myself a tag team champion. And now Crippler?..

Deadman starts smiling

Deadman: ?..I'm going to rob you of the chance for you to call yourself a tag team champion. As of right now, there is no such thing as the Extreme Revolution Tag Team Championships!

JR: What?

Deadman: That's right, I'm scrapping the Tag Team Belts!

The crowd ERUPTS with booing

The Crippler: You can?t do that!

Deadman: Well I just have!
JR: I don?t believe this! Deadman has got rid of the tag team belts!

'You're Gonna Pay' hits. Deadman starts laughing as he looks towards the ring.

JR: How could he do that?

Deadman turns and goes to walk to the back but 'Killing In The Name' hits and the crowd starts booing.

JR: Uh oh.

Sam H comes walking through the entrance way and starts shouting at Deadman. Sam and Deadman go face to face.

JR: Well it looks like Sam isn?t happy at losing his shot tonight at the gold!

Deadman and Sam talk trash at each other when suddenly there is a huge reaction from the crowd.

JR: Crippler watch out!

Whilst Crippler is watching Sam and Deadman, ManBeastRHYNO slides into the ring. Crippler turns around and MBR hits the?..

Paul E: GORE! GORE! GORE!!!!!!!!!!

JR: Crippler just got Gored out of his boots! Bah gawd that was one hell of a Gore!

MBR starts stomping on Crippler. Seeing this, Sam stops arguing with Deadman and sprints down to ringside. He slides into the ring and pushes MBR out of the way. Sam then starts stomping on Crippler as the crowd booing gets even louder.

JR: And Sam wants Crippler all to himself.

Sam picks up the tag team title belt then picks Crippler up. He then whips Crippler into the ropes, Crippler bounces back off them and Sam crashes the title belt off Cripplers face.

JR: What a shot!

Paul E: Sam is destroying The Crippler!

Sam picks Crippler up to his feet, places Cripplers head between his legs and lifts Crippler up, hitting the?.

JR: H-BOMB!

We see a close up of Crippler lying on the mat, bloodied from the belt shot. Sam crouches down to Cripplers face and is heard saying off microphone.

Sam H: You think you got that title shot in the bag? No chance Crippler, NO CHANCE. See you at No Way Out!

Sam slides out of the ring and walks up the ramp as 'Killing In The Name' hits.

JR: What an explosive few moments that was! Deadman has gotten rid of the tag team belts and Sam has absolutely decimated The Crippler!

ERE Raw
10/05/04

Raw returns from the 'Deadman vs. The Crippler - Judgment Day' promo and the camera is on HBK and Fill (they are obviously travelling as the moving road and countryside can be seen beside them), they are sitting back enjoying what appears to be champagne, they are both smiling and taking in the view

Fill: Ahh it's good to be Badd Company

HBK: You damn right. You ready for the show?

Fill: Hell yeah, Mateus isn't gonna know what's hit him when....

HBK: .....HE GOES ONE ON ONE WITH THE FABULOUS ONE

Fill: HEY!

HBK: What?

Fill: Oh never mind

Suddenly Fill gets a puzzled look on his face while HBK just keeps smiling and sipping champagne

Fill: Hmmm, Andy, we seem to be running out of forward momentum

HBK stops drinking and looks up, he then looks puzzled himself

HBK: You're right, hold this

HBK hands Fill his champagne glass which Fill holds for him, he then reaches down by his side and pulls out a whip, he whips it forward and a voice can be heard:

Voice: OWWWWW

The camera then cuts to an external shot to show a Rickshaw travelling slowly (see the first picture at http://www.rickshaws.net/ , the one without the bike), James E is running along the road, he is in black tracksuit pants, trainers and a grey jumpter which is almost totally covered in sweat, his face is bright red and his hair soacking with sweat, he is dragging the carriage which HBK and Fill both comfortably sit in

James E: For the 93rd time today...WILL YOU STOP USING THAT BLASTED WHIP?

HBK: For the 93rd time...YES

Fill: Can't you go any faster dude?

James E: Arrrgghhhhhhh

HBK: Come on dude, we're almost there, keep going

James E sighs and then tries to pick up the pace slightly

Fill: Hey, run quieter.......

Fill looks at HBK and smiles

Fill:.....you're disturbing my peace

James E: Arrgghhhhhhhhhhhh

HBK also smiles and then talks to Fill

HBK: God, at this rate it'd of been quicker to of booked a bloody taxi

James E abrubtly stops and looks back

James E: Yes it would!

HBK smiles

HBK: But not as much fun, now, AVANTI

Fill: Yeah, GIDDY UP

James E looks fuming as he sets off running again, the camera cuts back to the announce table, the crowd are laughing as is James E, Paul Heyman is just shaking his head

JR: Well Badd Company from what we understand are within a mile of the arena, but will James E Cornette make it?

PH: Idiots

An Iagan promo airs

After the promo, we're in the carpark and loud panting and wheezing can be heard

Slowly James E staggers into sight, still dragging the rickshaw, he is dripping with sweat - Fill and HBK are still relaxing, drinks in hand

JR: Looks like they've finally made it

James takes a couple more steps before collapsing to his hands and knees

JE: You ... .... Guys ... ... are ... ... complete ...

Fill: I know we're completely great

HBK: You know that

The 2 wrestlers step down to the floor

HBK: Oh, and James - get a shower - you stink!

Fill: And quit with the noise - you're disturbing my peace

They begin to walk away as HBK calls back over his shoulder

HBK: And don't forget the bags

HBK and Fill enter through the door to peels of laughter from the audience


JR: I suppose this is all part of James' training regime

PE: Does that mean you'll be pulling a rickshaw later?

Cut to a Badd Company promo

[Darkstar]

We return to the Badd Company Dressing Room - to a pop from the crowd

Fill and HBK are sitting on the sofa, HBK has a LARGE tub of popcorn on his lap, he is munching away, on the TV is a DVD of ERE Backlash

The door opens and James E staggers in, still dripping with sweat and very red-faced - to laughter from the cr
