Coffin Surfer

Off the top of my head: As for lying around, sure maybe they are grimacing or holding their arms, but they are on their backs on the mat, mostly towards the end with Ohtani hitting his fishermans buster and dragon suplex, as they lie there for a while post-move before getting up and hitting the next move. Again, they're selling, but they are also just lying around and it is hard for ME to find a match ****+ and one of the best matches of the decade when lots of the time is spent lying around. Bah, this is retarded. They do not spend lots of time lying around, I don't even know what the fuck your talking about any more. After the Fisherman Buster: Lyger cover. Ohtant kicks out. Lyger sits up on his knees like,"What the Fuck". Ohtani crawls to the ropes in a stupor. Lyger jumps and poses, signalling that he's going up stairs. He grabs Ohtani and sits him on the top rope. All of this over the course of 15 seconds. Yes, this sounds like lying around to me. After the first Dragon Suplex: Ohtani immidately picks up Lyger and hits another right afterwards. After second Dragon Suplex: In a classic moment, Ohtani realizes he screwed up and throws a hissy fit. Ohtani than rolls on his back to show exhaustion and how drained he is after just throwing everything he has at the Man. He than gets up, and sits Lyger up for another Dragon Suplex. Total time Ohtani is on his back: a staggering 7 seconds. Damn them for all that laying around. Damn Ohtani for showing emotion in the most important match of life at that point, and damn them for taking a couple of seconds to sell their finishers.

So I just watched the match, and I don't see any unnecessary lying around. Their either selling, or arguing with an official, and it's usually kept brief. So I have no clue what your talking about.

Yeah, Lyger and a killer Lariat. (rolls eyes) A Lyger Bomb and a Brainbuster wouldn't be that much of a fluke now would it. The Palm Strike was a new move he wanted over, and it looked as fucking devestating as any Lariat, so I don't see how it's weak or anything. I don't recall either of them every just lying there, especially Ohtani who's always doing something, crawling around in a stupor, pounding his fists, whatever. What junior matches are better? Maybe Lyger/Samurai and Ohanti/Samurai.

God forbid they actually sell the moves they are doing to each other. And if you don't get the finish, than you obviously don't understand the story. Yes, I do understand the story. Liger is out to prove he can hang with the up and comer trying to take his spot as top dog, Ohtani is out to prove he can beat the top dog, so Ohtani pulls out all the stops but just can't put Liger away, which is evident in Ohtani's frustration after Liger keeps kicking out. I GET IT, THAT ISN'T MY PROBLEM. I just don't like it as much as I have seen it pimped. Explain to me how me not liking Liger one punch(palm)ing Ohtani to finish the match out of nowhere means I don't get the story. Sheesh. Dude, don't you get it, it's a fluke knockout. Ohtani is the firey underdog, he gets to firey, and stupidly runs into his own demise. It's a fitting ending to cap off the match's theme.

Not really, this finish isn't about Hansen taking advantage of the young guy's mistake as much as it's about the vet just killing Kobashi's run cold. It was like, enough of this bullshit, I'm putting the breaks on, you an't going nowhere punk. And I've also thought Hansen had a great looking bad ass move set myself. He had one of the more creative mid range brawling move sets in history(just look at the the thousands of intresting things he does at 2/93 with Kawada). The Cowboy kick has obviously been imitated by everyone now days, his Powerbomb had bad intentions, his Backdrop occasionally drifted into Steven Williams' territory, the Western Lariat is one of the most badass finishers in history, and he had a nice Tope for a fat man. How is that not a great looking moveset.

God forbid they actually sell the moves they are doing to each other. And if you don't get the finish, than you obviously don't understand the story.

I think it's an excellent match, though obviously a step down from Williams work with Kawada. I don't recall the match being rated that highly, but as far as Williams' performances go it's probably one of his better peformances in terms of him filling his time and building to his offense(once again not as good as job as the 94 Carnies). Still, the final run is pretty fun, with the ending left in doubt to the very last Backdrop Diver, I can imagine that doesn't help much if you already knew the outcome, which most do since it's Misawa's big Triple Crown loss. Misawa doesn't roll out alot of his trademark bombs in his final serious offense run, which smartly makes it appear that he's saving some stuff to put Williams away. Misawa even bails after the Backdrop Driver, just like Kawada making it appear as if he's going to squeek by as well, and make another comeback. However, Williams isn't gonna let another one get away, he just gets pissed, grabs Misawa, and kills him with a second Backdrop Driver. The best part is how they had the crowd in their hands, playing them pefectly to generate in insane amount of heat. Corey: As far as Kobashi/Hansen being one sided and boring, what match were you watching? Kobashi controls the first five minutes, than Hansen beats the piss out of him in some of the most cringe inducing moments in wrestling history, from there the match goes back and forth.

Wow, I post at Spider Twist which is about the only place I can find intelligent wrestling dicussion. Anyway, the current WWE bores me for the most part, though the occasional watchable match pops up from time to time. If that's all I watched, I probably wouldn't have too many positive things to say about it either. But if it wasn't for the WWE putting out shit night after night, I wouldn't have been motivated to seek out other promotions and old school stuff.

"I'm not realy defending Lennow Lewis, but I can understand where he's coming from. He's getting old and I can imagine it being harder to stay motivated to train for big fights anymore. " I can understand where he's coming from too, I wouldn't want to risk retiring on a loss too, but this is boxing where winning and losing is part of the game. While I can't read his mind, I think the possibility of going out with a loss is his problem, not motivation. "There's always going to be a fight that people think he should take." Of course, but not all of them are boxers he has unfinished business with. I really don't see how anyone can say that Klitschko doesn't deserve a rematch. "I hate Lennox just as much as the next man, but who REALLY thinks Klitschko is a better fighter than him? " Judging from the fight, I think he is a better fighter as of right now. Kilitschko has had his problems in the past, but lately he's appeared to really step it up. I don't think the the Klitschko from a few years ago was nearly as aggressive or dominating as the one that just knocked out Kirk Johnson. It's really up in the air though, and until they fight(which doesn't appear to be likely), we'll never know. Which oddly enough is the point. "Who really thinks Lennox was prepared for the fight against Klitschko? I don't. Do you really Lewis would have stepped into the ring with Kiltschko if he didn't think he was prepared? And if Lewis wasn't motivated, than it's his own damn fault, it's no excuse. I would say motivation is a big attribute to a fighter, if he lacks it than it should be counted against him, not used as an excuse. If he lost to Rahman, because he wasn't prepared. Well shit, that means on that night, Rahman was the better fighter. Though the real reason he lost was because he dropped his arms, and ate a rigth hand. "Lennox Lewis won his last fight. You don't have to like the way he did it, but he did it." That's the sad truth, and shit like this is the reason the sport has fallen like it has.

I'm sorry, I really don't see how anyone can defend Lewis. He's leaving with a very big loose end untied. Sure it was TKO 6, but it deserves an * by it. *=was down on the score cards, until fight was stopped for a cut. The way I see it is that Lewis finally gets a worthy contender who's proven he can hold his own against him, and the match ends on questionable circumstances with no real answers. So what does Lewis do...run away. Real class act, and something that I would exepect from a great boxer.

Well what's your rating for Misawa/Jumbo....****1/4. Of course it lacked the drama, but it's still one of the smartest matches of the past decade, and Kawada and Jumbo's selling is off the charts fantastic. Yes that tag match was very goofy. The staredown spots were pretty goofy, mostly because of Ace's sad attempts at being "intense". You also have all that silly bull shit tough guy stuff at the beginning. Williams and Kobashi doing their usually nuttiness with a double reversed Super Belly to Belly Suplex. And of course, you get Ace's shitty idea that selling is thrashing your arms about and acting like a retard, some of the goofiest selling I've ever seen. It's a really fun great match, but this is All Japan were talking about, and there are plenty better matches. Williams/Ace vs. Misawa/Akiyama comes to mind as a way better match, where Ace does a much better job of playing his role, while not acting like a total goofball.

I wouldn't say the finish had no build up to it. Flair was chopping away at Funk's chest the entire time to the point that it had become a vulnerability. He then attacked the leg when it was time to and alternated between the chest and the leg to Funk in a prone position and slapped on the Figure Four in the middle. How is that no build up? Dames They're generally beating the crap out of each other for about 15 minutes. Funk is clearly working the neck, but Flair isn't really suffering from it. All of a sudden, about 3 minutes before the end, Flair does his usual leg work, figure four, over, just like every other Flair match there is. There was nothing special at all for it being a retirement I quit match. The first 15 minutes or so were very intense, but it seemed about then, Flair just decided to stop that and hit the usual ending, leaving me dissapointed. **** from me, no more. Even **** is generous, I don't care how much you curve it. Flair totally phoned that one in, and aside from some mean chops does exactly dick in the match. At least Funk was smart enough to keep things moving, which for the most part saved the match from being a complete failure. Still, the Terry should have asserted himself more, since Flair couldn't be bothered to give him any opportunities to do much of anything. The match needed selling and transitions more than it needed blood. Wrestlewar 89 has it's problems as well, mainly with how they keep using the same spots over and over with no progression. Vader/Sting Superbrawl 93 is actually a smarter match, and if you actually compare the two matches you will see Sting of all people out performing Flair. Of course Sting isn't a better worker than Flair, but it is something to consider when you slap a big star rating on Wrestlewar 89, and proclaim it an all time classic. And Flair did sell the arm work, but that's just what he did, he sold it. It's solid, but it's not spectacular. He never really goes out of his way to make the arm work seem threatening, or convey to the viewer that more and more damage is being done to it with each arm bar. When Steamboat goes for the Chickenwing, it isn't because Flair's arm appears to be ripe for the picking, it's because he just scored with the Superplex.

So it wasn't even a MOTYC? One of the greatest singles matches of the 90s that could be argued as being better than the Misawa/Jumbo classics is just ****? Worse, you have the goofy 95 tag rated better considerably higher than it. Great match, but not as great as Jumbo/Kawada, which is a fantastic super smart match from the two of the greatest workers of all time.

The only other place that I post at is Chris' Spider Twist Boards at Air Raid Crash. It's one of the few places where most people know what their talking about. You can find plenty of insightful mini reviews from others and myself on the Last Fun Matches thread. There's also some good stuff to be found at ToA. Usually if you find any intelligent posts on another forum, it's from posters who are also regulars at Spider Twist. That's just from my personal experience.

Oh, and there's nothing wrong with the knee work in Owen/Bret it's just totally misplaced, and no it wasn't in the beginning it was in the final minutes. Midway through the match Owen hits an awesome string of hot nearfalls that were all set up incredibly well. But after that hot segment that should of lead to the ending, Owen busts out this long leg work segment. Bret sells the leg well, but it still never comes off as a threat, particurally when he just powers out of the Sharpshooter after spending a long time in it. So for lengthly non threatening leg work, it shouldn't have been placed at the end of the match, where you know, threatening moves should be coming into play. Other than that it's good match, nothing great, but it's still good for a WWF match.

They don't get credit for a good reason, they suck. Watching Spring Stampede is like watching paint dry, paint that drys very, very slowly. They just lay around in holds forever, not working them, not getting anything meaningful out of them, just laying around with their thumbs up their asses. The "boring" chants were never more deserving. Bret/Owen and Micheals/Ramon both smoke it. That's not even getting into the international scene that was busy creating real ****1/2 matches. The Saturday Night match was better, but not that much better. It's funny see to them totally reinact the finish of Masacras/Destroyer 75, other than that, the match is pretty worthless.

Over...praised. Flair vs. Steamboat Wrestlwar 89 -All the repeated spots never give you the feeling that the match is progressing. Flair just keeps walking in the same moves over and over again, and I'm not just talking about arm drags. Off the top of my head, they repeat the Backbody Drop spot, and the 10 count corner chop spot, both resulting in the same thing....the match going nowhere. Chi-Town and Clash were both much better than this. Even Vader/Sting had better matches not to long after, yet this match is still praised as the greatest of all time in some circles. Flair vs. Funk I Quit Yawn. Flair chops Funk around, Funk comes back and hits a couple of Piledrivers, including one on the concrete, which doesn't seem to effect Flair's badly injured, hanging by a thread neck as much as it makes him a little drowsy. Of course, Flair chops his way back into the match in no time, and takes it home in anti-climatic fashion. Funk to his credit tried to make this match work, he toned down his goofiness(slightly), and kept the match moving with bails and staggering. But on this night, Flair couldn't be bothered to work a smart interesting brawl, why do that when you can chop somebody really hard to pop the crowd. The fact that some people claim this is better than the Bash match, and an all time classic, makes me want to puke. As far as U.S. brawls go, the NWA has had better, and even the late 90s WWF produced better brawls. This is barely a *** match if that.

"The resets at the start are showing the match hasn't developed past the early striking stage." Which isn't bad as long as it goes somewhere. " I didn't want to hit a SINGLE move till about 4K" Yeah, but here are so many things you can do besides stalling and resetting. Just look at how someone Austin masterfully uses his time in the 96 Survivor Series match with Bret. I would say Misawa and Hansen, who are true masters at filling their time effectively without relying on high spots, but I'm not sure if you've seen their better work. "Includes the Misawa/Kawada back pedalling out of a German spot." 7/93 is their only great match with loads of restarts, but inbetween each one is a meaningful spot that still furthers the match. Like a strike exchange, a rope running spot, a hight spot tease, Kawada attacking the arm..etc. "The counter to the Germans with the loose as hell elbow is hinting at something that had been skirted round before in the match. Danny either dislodged or broke Va'aiga's cheekbone with that elbow " Sure it hurt Va'aiga, but that doesn't mean it healed Williams. "The finish was supposed to represent the two current grandstand superstars expending every last bit of energy they had trying EVERYTHING to win and showing their fighting spirit by running on fumes." No, that's the finish to Hokuto/Kandori. Sorry, but yours came off like two guys no selling stuff. "was finding your moveset horribly limiting near the end" Which should maybe tell you that you were going overboard with the high spots. "Dace's opinion was it ended up being late 90s AJ, a period often criticised for mindless stuff, but I haven't really seen ANYTHING between 94 and 2000, so i wouldn't know. " Not even Kobashi at his most braindead was as goofy as your finish. "I would ALSO like to hear from King on what he thought of the two matches comparitively, but I'd rather that was done in private." As would I, but I'm not gonna push it, and stir up trouble again. I just disagree with the decision, and leave it at that.

If it's too much to ask, I really wouldn't mind knowing the determing factors in the deciding process. By the time the Main Event rolls round, it’s amazing that the Gund Arena is still standing. Clusterfuck has been here, and it’s certainty left it’s mark. The ring looks worn down and used up, while the fans appear to be for the most part, extremely exhausted. Still this is the SWF’s most popular PPV event of the year, and there’s still enough mystical aura left floating in the building to make the final match of the evening special. Comet: Wow, we are several minutes removed from Cluster...fudge 2004, and I’m still speechless. Riley: I know I say this every year, but that had to be the best Clusterfuck ever! They just keep get longer, crazier, and bloodier! I still can’t believe who won either, I mean who would have thought that of all tonight’s participant..... Comet: Hush, my trusty side kick. Remember what our producer said about spoilers, the replays need a highbuy rate too. Riley: Hey, did you just call me your sidekick? What the hell’s a matter with you, I told you to never... Signaling the start of the Main Event, Funyon climbs into the ring, gaining a surprisingly loud ovation from the tried fans who are ready to get this thing over with. Comet: It looks like it’s time for the Main Event, where we will be seeing long time bitter rivals, Danny Williams and Va’aiga square off one more time! Riley: If you thought the Clusterfuck was an orgy of violence, wait to you see these two guys tear into each other. Williams and Va’aiga absolutely loathe each other, and with the World Title on the line, they will no doubt be pulling out all the stops in their quest to become the top dog in the industry! Without warning, the house lights go off, drenching the arena the blackest of darkness! All eyes turn to the locker room entrance, which is eerily producing the only illumination to be found in the building. Standing tall in the door way, emerges the large creepy silhouette of a hooded figure. “WHAT’S MY NAME?!” Red strobe lights start flashing out of nowhere, while the ghostly apparition leaves the locker room, and glides down the entrance ramp. Keeping a good distance, a freshly showered John Duran follows the lead of the hooded phantom, talking trash with the fans as he makes his way down to the ring. Following the All Japan tradition, Funyon holds the introductions, waiting until both men are in the ring before he can began. The ancient incomprehensible New Zealand war chant humming out of the PA system creates an unsettling mood, scaring the bejezus out of small children and the elderly. Now in the ring, the robed figure tosses back his hood, revealing himself to be the hated Va’aiga! Leaning over the ropes, the scary looking Maori flicks his tongue out at the crowd, earning himself some “boos”. Riley: After months of being stuck under Williams’ shadow, Va’aiga will finally have his day in the sun, and not only capture the SWF World Title, but take it from the man he once called, “leader”. Comet: It’s hard to believe that it was just last summer that Va’aiga was a loyal member of the Unholy Trinity, fighting alongside Danny Williams in their quest to reach the top of the mountain. However, nothing lasts forever, and that includes friendships. Riley: The worse enemies are always friends that used to be. Comet: Acting almost irrational, Va’aiga viciously assaulted his former tag partner, Dace Night, to perhaps prove that he’s the better man in his own sick little mind. After nearly ending Dace’s career with his deadly new move, the Va’aiga Stinger, the mad man from Maori called out his former leader, demanding to face him in combat! Riley: And we all know what happened then. Comet: Williams won the first match by d.q., but it was obvious that he was overmatched by the bigger, stronger, and far more motivated Va’aiga. In their second meeting, Va’aiga defeated Williams in dominating fashion. Riley: A defeat that was so embarrassing that Williams had to leave the federation for several months, probably hoping that we’d forget it after happened. Comet: But the story doesn’t end there, my fair citizens legally watching at home, not by a long shot. This past month, Williams returned with a vengeance. After scoring an impressive victory over William Hearford, citizen Williams realized his dream and defeated the Judge’s former tag partner, Super Villain Ejiro Fasaki, for the SWF World Heavyweight Title! Riley: Which brings us to tonight. Right here, live on PPV, Williams will be defending the World Title against a man who in two meetings, he couldn’t defeat. So if you ask me, it’s very likely we may see the crowning of a New Champion. Comet: Indeed, Va’aiga will prove to be the biggest threat to Williams’ Title reign. yet. Unlike Ejiro, Williams has never proven that he’s capable of defeating Va’aiga. Suddenly, the dancing melodies of In Flames comes sweeping over the loud speakers. Still having some fire left in em, the crowd erupts with a volcanic explosion of cheers, welcoming the World Champion in true heroic fashion! Like a bat out of hell, Williams comes sprinting out of the locker room in a blur, his broken down number two man, Dace Night, faintly jogging behind him, unable to keep up! Not staying on his side of the ring, Va’aiga beckons Danny to bring it on! Without stopping, Danny unbuckles his title, and slings it aside! Diving head first into the ring, Williams tries to hustle to his feet, but Va’aiga cuts him off with some stomps! DING! DING! DING! Battling his way through Va’aiga’s crushing stomps, Williams grabs the big man by his legs, and tackles him like a crazed linebacker! Mounting the challenger’s chest, Williams viciously hammers Va’aiga’s face with clubbing forearms, driving the crowd crazy! Comet: And this match is off to a fast and furious start! Riley: You can feel the hate from all the way over here! Refusing to hold on to their streamers any more, the crowd baths the ring in shiny colored paper, drenching the battling superstars! Unable to do his job on this occasion, Funyon dives out of the ring, seeking cover. Meanwhile, Soapdish starts scooping up streamers by the handful, doing his best the clear the ring of litter. Riley: Well, it looks like the traditional All Japan opening was a total disaster. Comet: It’s the thought that counts. Hoping to escape this ass kicking, the Maori monster primitively shoves Williams off! The battered Maori Badass scrambles to his feet, but Williams is on him like flies on garbage! With a series of bruising elbows, Williams drives Va’aiga into the ropes, and sends him for the ride! Hanging on to the Champion’s arm, the challenger reverses the Irish whip, sending Williams flying across the ring against his will! Rebounding off the ropes, Williams runs into the extended boot of the Maori Badass! The big boot stops Danny dead in his tracks, leaving him to wobble in place like a human punching bag! Dropping back into the ropes, Va’aiga plows forward, swinging up his leg for a running high kick! Riley: Here’s the Yakuza Kick! Not as clueless as the big Maori expected, Williams is able to get up his hands, catching the boot that was meant for his face! Crack! Countering, Danny rocks Va’aiga with a big elbow smash! Comet: Citizen Williams was ready for that combo! Dazed, the enormous challenger has to stagger back into a corner in order to stay on his feet! After taking all but a second to shake off the effects of the big boot, Williams blindly lunges in at his cornered foe! Leaping into the air, Williams brutally rams his forearm into the challenger’s jaw! CRACK! Actually showing pain, Va’aiga slumps down in the corner, holding his jaw as if he has a tooth ache. Letting out a grunt of effort, Williams whips the hulking challenger into the cross corner with authority! Boom! The Maori Badass slams into the turnbuckles so hard that it nearly knocks the ring off it’s foundation! Bolting across the ring, Williams dives at Va’aiga for another Jumping Elbow, but nobodies home! Crashing gut first into the top turnbuckle, Danny flips overs the ropes, and splatters on the floor below! The big bump obviously gets a big reaction from the crowd. Comet: Oh my! Riley: There’s a lot more to Va’aiga’s game than raw power, and a hard head. Unlike a lot of big lugs in this league, he’s actually got a brain too! Not showing any ill effects from Danny’s early offense, Va’aiga cracks a big smile as he calmly steps out on to the ring apron. Diving off the ring apron, Va’aiga soars at the unsuspecting Champion like a human torpedo! BLAM! The mad man from Maori slams into Williams with a stunning, suicidal Shoulderblock! Though they really hate Va’aiga, the impressed fans can’t help but “ah” with amazement. Riley: Wow, I haven’t seen Va’aiga do that before! Comet: Yes, Va’aiga really isn’t known for super hero like high flying. Perhaps he feel some calculated risk taking is necessary if he wants to walk away with the title. Climbing to his feet, Va’aiga finds the verbal front roll fans leaning over the guardrail, shouting unflattering curses at him. Feeling that these screaming fanatics are too close comfort, Va’aiga takes a wild swing in their direction, gracing their noses. Acting as a quasi-security guard, Duran barks at the fans, demanding that they stay the hell out of the way. Comet: That isn’t very nice. Riley: Neither are those smart ass fans, they were shouting things that would make a sailor blush! With his tongue eagerly hanging out, Va’aiga helps the crushed World Champion to his feet, and casually rolls him into the ring. Va’aiga attempts to follow Danny in, but when he peeks his head over the bottom rope, the World Champion suddenly springs to life! Grabbing Va’aiga by his hair, Williams starts relentlessly slamming his knee into the side of the challenger’s head! Getting a head ache, Va’aiga drops down to the floor, and clumsily staggers back into the guardrail. Wounded but motivated, Williams quickly spring boards over the top rope, bulleting head first, straight down into Va’aiga,... CRACK! slamming a nasty forearm directly into his face! The dangerous dive earns Williams a monestrous ovation! Comet: ELBOW PESCADO! Riley: Talk about a suicide dive, if Danny was off by only a couple of inches he would have went face first into the floor! Comet: The risk appeared to have paid off as citizen Williams has put Va’aiga down for the first time tonight! Eagerly jumping to his feet, Danny guides the punch drunk challenger to a vertical base. Williams attempts to sling Va’aiga up on the ring apron, but the challenger refuses to cooperate! Swatting Danny’s hands off, Va’aiga wildly swings lefts and rights at the Champion’s head! Ka-Pow! Ka-Pow! Ka-Pow! Out on his feet, Williams is helpless to resist as the Maori Badass whips him into the guardrail with unnerving force! Clank! Williams bounces off the steel like a tennis ball, propelling back at Va’aiga with a vengeance! Hooking the big man around his neck, Williams drops to the floor, tearing Va’aiga’s head off with nasty as hell Neckbreaker Drop! The crowd is going wild, totally eating up the unpredictable action! Both men are down, and Soapdish is left with no other option, but to start the ten count. Riley: I don’t understand how Williams can absorb a collision with the guardrail like that, it’s not human? Comet: Haven’t you ever heard of adrenaline? Busted up from Va’aiga’s closed fists, Williams takes his time in climbing to his feet. Holding his back a like an old man in need of a walker, Williams gingerly makes his way back inside the ring, leaving Va’aiga laid out on the floor. Soapdish starts to count the challenger out, but it isn’t long before Va’aiga starts to stir. Treating the deadly Neckbreaer Drop as a mere inconvenience, Va’aiga pops his neck a few times, and hops up on the ring apron as if nothing happened! Ka-blam! Va’aiga goes flying off the ring apron, courtesy of a nifty drop kick! Clang! The Maori Badass collides into the guardrail again, but it only makes him angrier! Snarling like a savage beast, Va’aiga dives into the ring, hungry for blood! Riley: I don’t think I would throw anybody into the guardrail any more tonight, it’s like that darn energy ball from Pac Man, it only makes the other guy stronger! Comet: The hatred these men have for each other is so intense that not even the unforgiven pain of solid steel can hold em at bay! Snatching Va’aiga by his hair as he tries to get up, Williams slams a barrage of knees into his temple! Instead of cowering in pain, Va’aiga rises up and roars! Repeating the process, Williams pulls Va’aiga’s head back down, and starts with the kneeing again! Annoyed, Va’aiga grabs Danny’s leg, and forcibly pushes him to the mat! Popping right back up, Williams assaults Va’agia with a flurry of forearms! Grabbing a handful of hair, Va’aiga throws Williams to the mat with bad intentions! Danny hits the mat so hard that he rolls all the way through, ending up on his stomach. Stunned from being knocked around so much, Williams groggily stands up... Blam! only to get flattened by a sickening shoulder block! Williams finally stays on the mat, and the noisy crowd settles down. Va’aiga takes a second to rub the stinging pain in his head away, before peeling the squished Champion off the mat. Scooping Williams up like a baby, Va’aiga plants the Champion with a thunderous body slam! The Maori Badass follows that up with a snapping elbow drop, which plunges deep into Danny’s chest! Hooking Danny’s leg, Va’aiga goes for the first pin attempt of the night! One! Williams kicks out with authority, sending Va’aiga the message that this match is far, far, far from over. Danny tires to get up, but the challenger rolls him over on his stomach, and smothers him with a tight front facelock! Not used to so much action, Va’aiga is left pouring sweat, while breathing extremely hard. Comet: It looks like Va’aiga is gonna finally slow things down, and give himself a breather. Riley: Yeah, the fast tempo of this match was clearly in Danny’s favor, so he’s the doing the smart thing here. Gasping for air, Williams fights his way to a vertical base, and thanks to his low center of gravity, manages to back Va’agia into a corner. Showing no fear of the much larger men he’s in charge of, Soapdish steps in, and orders the break. Va’aiga cautiously releases Danny, who in turn drives a knee into his gut! Not prepared for such a heavy blow to the abdomen, Va’aiga gets the wind knocked out of him. A bit drained, Williams takes a second to rest, before driving another knee into Va’aiga’s bread basket, doubling him over! Linking his hands around the back of Va’aiga’s neck, Williams liquefies his face with a brutal jumping knee! Va’aiga slides down to the second turnbuckle in a daze, while Danny staggers off, and collapses. Comet: Williams, taking a page from Annie Eclectic’s book, and it looks like it may have done some serious damage to the nearly unstoppable monster that is Va’aiga. Riley: I got to admit that Danny is doing a way better job of going toe to toe with Va’aiga than I originally thought he would. Comet: Danny may not be as big and strong as Va’aiga, but what he lacks in size, he makes up for toughness and heart. Not to mention he’s incredibly skilled in the art of fisticuffs. Not staying down for long, Va’aiga begins to rise out of the corner, when Williams comes a rushing! Taking off like Michael Jordan at the free throw line, Williams obliterates Va’aiga with a Jumping Knee that more than makes contact! “Ooooooooooooooooooh!”, moans the squeamish fans! Despite having his brains scrambled, Va’aiga still doesn’t go down, but that may or may not be due to the fact that he’s propped up in the corner like a scarecrow. Taking advantage of Va’aiga’s stunned state of awareness, Williams hastily positions him for a Vertical Sulpex. Walking the challenger out of the corner, Danny tugs on his tights, straining to get all 300 pounds of his big fat Maori ass in the air! Riley: Williams has got to be kidding? Comet: Citizen Williams has shown incredible strength in the past, so much in fact that Suplexing someone as big as Va’aiga really isn’t that out of the question. Getting his wits back, Va’agia grabs Danny by his tights, and without any trouble whatsoever, lifts him into the sky! Resisting, Williams jumps out of Va’aiga’s clutches, landing directly behind him! Reaching up on his tippy toes, Williams wraps his meat hooks around Va’aiga’s head, slapping on the feared Sleeperhold! As if Danny was an insignificant fly, Va’agia drops to his knees, casually slinging the World Champion off his back with an arm drag! Williams only makes it up to one knee, when Va’aiga catches him under the chin with a neck snapping Yakuza Kick! BLAM! With spit spewing from his mouth like a fountain, Williams drops back to the mat, where Va’aiga quickly blankets him for the pin. One! Two! Danny kicks out from underneath Va’aiga, and quickly sits up! Kneeling behind Williams, Va’aiga pins the Champion’s left arm behind his knee, and It becomes quite apparent however, that a submission isn’t on the Maori’s mind, when he tauntingly raises the first of his free arm high into the air. “What’s my name, Danny!”, screams the deranged Maori! Defenseless, Williams helplessly squirms around, unable to escape the looming horror that is soon to befall on him! Pulling Danny’s hair back to hold his head still, the sadistic Maori ruthlessly slams his fist down into the Champion’s face! The sound of closed fist on cheek bone assures the fans that the strike not only made direct connect with Williams’ face, it was pretty damn hard too. Comet: Holy crap! Pardon my french my fair citizens, but this is the most brutal thing I’ve ever witnessed in all my years on this lovely planet! Riley: This is great stuff, Comet! When it comes to mutilating his opponents that Va’agia can get awfully creative. Once again, Va’agia raises his arm to the heavens only to send it crashing back down on Danny’s poor, fragile face! Totally out of his mind, Va’agia continues to scream,”Say it, say my damn name!” The crowd is mortified, unable to comprehend how Williams can safely take shots that stiff on his mug! For the third and final time, the Maori Badass cruelly shatters Williams’ face with a hammering blow! Dace turns away, unable to stomach the sight of his leader, his friend getting pounded like that. Releasing his brutalized foe, Va’aiga casually blankets him for the pin. One! Two! Despite his face being turned into hamburger meat, Williams still won’t stay down for anything more than a two count! Sitting Danny up, the Maori Badass draws back his big, heavy boot, and sadistically punts Williams in the back! Smaaack! The sound of whelping flesh echoes through the rafters, drawing a collective “oh” from the queasy crowd! Dace nearly walks out, however he remains strong, and stays at ring side. Meanwhile, Duran is eating it up, laughing like a mad man as his stable leader demolishes the World Champion. Riley: Va’aiga may not be a Cowboy, but he can kick shit like one! Comet: Before he became a good doer, Williams was infamous for his villainous Cowboy Kicks. Riley: Well, like the old saying goes, “What comes around, goes around.” In undying anguish, Williams rolls towards the ropes, trying to create as much distance between himself, and the big, scary Maori dude. Stalking Williams, Va’aiga jumps up on the second rope, and starts wildly bouncing up and down on it. To the horror of the repulsed onlookers, the Maori Badass gets one more good bounce, before leaping high into the air, coming down on top of Danny with a super sick Double Stomp! “Doooooooohohoho!”grunts a seemingly legit hurt Danny Williams, as he rolls underneath the bottom rope, and free falls down to the floor. Stepping over the top rope, Va’aiga jumps off the ring apron, plunging his boots into Danny’s abdomen yet again! Curling up in the fetal position, the World Champion coughs and gags like he’s going to hurl! Comet: Merciful heavens, Williams is taking an unbelievable amount of punishment. Riley: Va’aiga never uses the Double Stomp, but he’s just busted out two of those bad boys in his quest to inflict as much pain on the World Champion as possible. To the bewilderment of the wide eyed spectators, the powerful Maori military presses all 250 pounds of the World Champion high over his head! Showing off his unearthly power, Va’aiga stalls, holding Danny up there for what seems like all day. Sitting at a ring side table near the action, the distinguished members of the press realize that Va’agia has his eye on their table. Gathering their papers as quicky as they can, the wrestling journalists get up, and haul ass out of the way! Lingering until he’s purple faced and trembling, the Maori monster finally tosses Williams straight up into the air, letting him splatter on top of a hard, thick, wooden table! THWACK! The more sensitive members of the crowd rise out of their chairs, and cover their mouths in shock. Comet: Not since Frost/Flesher have I seen a match as brutal as this! Riley: Except Va’aiga doesn’t need no window pains or horses to punish his opponents, he’s doing a damn fine job of killing Williams without the use of any weapons. Feeling that he’s done all he can at the moment, Va’aiga enters the ring to a chorus of boos. The negativity only increases when the celebrating Moari Badass dishes out a “BOOYAH!” to the angry fans! Meanwhile, Williams is a total mess as he sloppily slides off the table, and lands in a heap on the floor. Riley: It’s a good there’s a twenty count, otherwise Danny would be counted out by now. Standing close, Dace resists the temptation to help Williams, knowing that the proud World Champion will refuse it anyway. The side of Williams’ face is puffy and red, an obvious result of Va’aiga’s clubbing fists. Clutching his stomach with one hand, Williams gingerly climbs up on the ring apron, wincing with every breath he takes in. Reaching over the ropes, the challenger pulls Williams up by his hair. Crack! Swiping Va’aiga’s paws off, Williams bashes his jaw with an unexpected elbow smash! Absorbing the blow, the Maori Badass fires back with a fat head BUTT! Danny teeters on the edge of apron, but the World Champion regains his balance, and scores with another elbow! Va’aiga feels this one, but the pain is only temporarily, as he slams his hard cranium into Williams’ busted face a second time! Hanging on to the ropes, Williams leans back as far as he possible can, using the elastic chord to launch himself into his attacker! CRAAACK! The super elbow smash knocks a gigantic sweat cloud off Va’aiga’s jaw line, and once again the crowd is reminded of the match’s uber stiffness! Comet: Citizen Williams, cleverly using his environment to his advantage! While the challenger is sent reeling to the center of the ring, Williams groggily hurries to the nearest corner, struggling to regain his composure on short notice. Moving as fast as he can in his weakened state, Williams ruggedly climbs up the turnbuckles, brining the capacity crowd to their feet! More alert than Williams hoped he would be, the Maori Badass rushes to the scene, catching the Champion in mid climb! Stunning his victim with a cracking right hook, Va’aiga tosses Williams off the top turnbuckle with a gigantic slam! Soaring through the air like superman, Williams lands a mile away with a ring rattling boom! Riley: Williams is getting desperate, he would have never took a stupid risk like that if he wasn’t scared. Comet: Excellent observation, side kick! Riley: Quit calling me that! Pain is surging through every ounce of Williams’ body as he sluggishly crawls his way to a nearby corner, while Va’aiga quietly stalks him. After helping Danny to his feet, Va’aiga launches him out of the corner with an Irish whip! Moving so fast that he can’t turn in time, Williams crashes chest first into the turnbuckles at an unforgiving speed! Blam! Clutching his crushed chest cavity, Williams awkwardly stumbles backwards, walking right into the Maori Badass’s clutches! Tucking the defenseless Champion’s head down in an inverted facelock, Va’aiga drops back, slamming the back of Williams’ dome into the mat! Keeping the inverted facelock applied, the Maori vices his tree trunk like legs around Danny’s torso, trapping him in an unbreakable body scissors! Comet: PACIFIC STRETCH! Riley: Many men have fallen to this move, I just can’t remember any of their names at the moment, but surely Williams’ name will be amongst them after tonight. Losing air, Williams wildly flails his limps about in search of the ropes, the ref, anything that can get him out of the damn hold! Sensing the urgency in Williams’ actions, the fans rise out of their chairs, suspecting that he may be in big trouble. Doing his best Gene Simmons impersonation, Va’aiga thrashes his tongue all over the place, straining to bleed Danny of all his precious energy! Showing their support for the ailing Champion, the crowd begins to loudly chant.... “DAN-E! DAN-E! DAN-E!” Dace keeps the crowd in rhythm by smacking his hands on the ring apron like a cheerleader. Though he’s fading fast, Williams courageously battles on, using what strength he has left to roll his way towards the ropes. Before finding their seats, the fans give a big ovation. Not desperate enough to keep the hold applied for the three count, the Maori Badass releases the nearly comatose Champion, and climbs to his feet with a sigh. Glassy eyed and drowsy, Williams lazily lays on his side like a bum in a gutter, coughing and gagging as he fills his lungs back up with oxygen. Pissed that Danny didn’t give up, Va’aiga growls as he angrily punts his victim’s exposed back! Smack! Smack! Smack! The sound of leather on flesh echoes through the Gund Arena like gun fire! Clearly disgusted, all the fans can do is shake their heads, and mutter,”damn.” Va’aiga’s boot leaves blood red marks on Danny’s back, which will no doubt turn into nasty bruises before the night is over. Helping Williams to his feet, the Maori monster snap mares the Champion off the ropes, and slaps on another inverted facelock! Comet: He’s going for it again! Riley: If at first you don’t succeed, try and try again. Knowing that he can’t survive another Dragon Sleeper, Williams yanks Va’aiga’s head down by his hair, and slams some knees into the top of skull! After taking several of these brain scrambling shots, Va’aiga finally releases Williams, who rolls to the ropes in a blur. It takes a couple of hard blinks for the Maori’s vision to clear up, so that he can go after the wounded Champion. Using the ropes for support, Williams sluggishly pulls himself to a vertical base. However, the challenger is already on top of him. Pounding Danny’s back with some heavy, clubbing fists, Va’aiga takes him by the wrist, and whips him off the ropes! The towering challenger patiently awaits Williams arrival, but the Champion doesn’t rebound off the ropes as he had planned! Using cat like agility, Williams leaps up to the second rope, and gracefully sling shots back at Va’agia! CRAAACK! Twisting his body around in mid flight, Williams levels the big Maori with a beautiful Jumping Elbow Smash! Both men are down, and the Gund Arena comes alive with the sound of cheering! Comet: What a fantastic move from the athletic World Champion! Riley: So far those lucky dives are the only moves that Danny has been able to actually hurt Va’aiga with. Rolling out on to the ring apron, a very groggy Danny Williams hustles his way up the turnbuckles, while Va’aiga sits on the mat in a stupor. Drowsy from the Dragon Sleeper, Williams clumsily misses a step and almost falls, however he regains his footing and continues his journey. A panic erupts in the audience as Va’aiga starts to get up, many members of the crowd are actually standing and screaming at Williams, insisting that he hurry up. Riley: Williams is making a big mistake in trying a high risk now. Comet: He doesn’t have a choice, like you said, those high flying dives are presently the only moves that he can seem to be able to hurt Va’aiga with. With Va’agia marching towards him, Williams aborts his original plan, and gets into a defensive position on the top turnbuckle turnbuckle. Stepping up on the second rope, Va’aiga swings a right hand up at Danny’s head...that is blocked! Answering back, Williams drives some hard hitting forearms down into Va’aiga’s skull! Unable to withstand the barrage of elbows, the big man free falls back to the mat with a loud boom! Finally, Danny triumphantly rises to his full height, carefully balancing himself on the top rope. Camera flashes illuminate the ring as Williams dives head first at the rising challenger, blasting his jaw with a stunning Diving Elbow! CRAAAACK! The normally unstoppable Maori is down flat on his back, and knowing that he doesn’t have much time to capitalize, Williams hurries his way back out on to the ring apron. The Gund Arena becomes filled with the sound of thousands of screaming fans as Williams ascends the turnbuckles, and stands tall on the top rope! Taking aim, Williams fearlessly leaps high into the air, gliding half away across the ring, before plunging the sharp edge of his elbow into Va’aiga’s throat! Comet: FLYING ELBOW DROOOOOOOOOOOOOP! Va’aiga goes into violent spasms, while Williams quickly secures one of his heavy legs for a hard fought pin attempt! Getting hot, the crowd counts along! “One!” “Two!” Va’aiga shoves Williams off, kicking out of the pin with a surprising amount of power, settling the crowd back down! Unable to press his advantage, Danny takes a second to rub his eye, which is continuously swelling to the point that he can barely keep it open. Sitting up, the Maori grabs at his wind pipe, grimacing while he coughs like someone with a sore throat would. Zeroing in on this moment of weakness, Williams puts his own troubles aside, and cranks on a suffocating rear chinlock! Fighting his way to his feet, Va’aiga turns away from Williams, creating enough space to fire some punches at his captor’s mid section! Smack! Smack! Not wanting to get his ribs cracked, Williams releases the chinlock, and brandishes Va’aiga with a couple of elbows! Crack! Crack! Weary from oxygen depravation and the elbows he just took, Va’aiga telegraphs a big punch, allowing Williams to duck behind the challenger, and lock on a Sleeperhold! Jumping up on the big man’s back, Williams locks on a body scissors, and drags him down to the mat! Getting warmer, the fans pop for the respected move that has ended the nights of many wrestlers throughout the federation! Comet: DOUSHIME SLEEPAAAAAAAAAAH! Wide eyed and gagging, Va’aiga frantically rolls his way to the ropes in a matter of seconds! Releasing his opponent without incident, Williams draws back his big black and red boot, and slams it into Va’aiga’s back as hard as he possibly can! SMAAACK! The kick can be heard for miles, sending shivers down the spines of everyone in attendance. Comet: Citizen Williams, showing Va’aiga the proper way to execute a Cowboy Kick. Riley: Get out of here with that crap! Williams’ kick is nothing but fluff compared to the power of Va’aiga’s. Pushing Va’aiga down on his back, Williams jumps on the second rope, gets a couple of good bounces, and drives a knee down into his throat! Soapdish forces Williams to get off Va’aiga’s neck, and you better believe the challenger uses this opportunity to haul ass to the outside. Sliding down to the floor, the wounded Maori throws himself over the guardrail, gasping for air. Jogging to the far side of the ring, Williams leans into the ropes, waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike. In anticipation of the inevitable high spot, the Ohio denizens get off their asses, and make some noise. Turning away from the guardrail, Va’agia finds Williams diving out of the ring with a full head of steam! CRAAAAAACK! To the roar of the crowd, Williams collides with the monestrous challenger, scoring with his trademark Elbow Suicida! Like a feather in the breeze, Williams lands safely on the floor, while Va’aiga smacks back into the guardrail, and crumbles to his knees. After dusting himself off, Williams forcibly pulls the challenger to his feet, and walks him over to the press table! Once more the journalists, are sent scrambling to a minimum safe distance. Ducking down, Williams attempts to scoop him up, but the 300 pounder lowers his center of gravity, refusing to budge. Not to be discouraged, Williams busts Va’aiga up with some head butts, bringing his resistance to an end. Unleashing a primal growl, Danny scoops his larger opponent off the floor, and slams him across the wooden table in disgusting fashion! “Ooooooooooooooooooooooooh!” Broken in half, Va’aiga slides down to the floor in unbearable anguish, while a fired up Williams enters the ring to a ruckus of an ovation! Comet: Citizen Williams is now paying Va’aiga back for his earlier assault. Riley: I’m sorry, but as much as that hurt, I’m sure it wasn’t nearly as bad as being press slammed on the table. Outraged by this embarrassment, Va’aiga violently turns the table over, while shouting inaudible obscenities in his native tongue. Duran keeps his distance, knowing that it’s not wise to disturb Va’aiga when he’s this pissed off. Clutching his back, the angry Maori tenderly climbs up on the ring apron, only to receive a welcoming elbow smash from the Champion! Infuriated, the short tempered Maori butts heads with the Champion! In retort, Williams pulls Va’aiga’s big head over the top rope, and begins viciously driving elbows into the back of his neck. After this vertebra shattering assault, Williams carefully positions Va’aiga for the Vertical Suplex. Riley: I really don’t know what the hell, Danny thinks he’s gonna accomplish by Suplexing Va’aiga, it’s not like it’s even that threatening of a move. Comet: The bigger they are the harder they fall, Riley. Before Williams can bring him in the ring the hard way, the heavy Maori grapevines his legs around the ropes, making it impossible for him to be lifted off the apron. Learning of this revelation, Williams releases Va’aiga, and jabs some nasty forearms into his jaw! Eagerly setting Va’aiga back up for the Suplex, Williams lets out a scream of effort as he slowly but surely hoists the humongous challenger over the ropes! Free falling back to the ring, Danny unceremoniously dumps the heavy challenger into the ring! Boom! Drained from the strain of lifting a 300 pound man over his head, Williams rests on his back, his stomach rapidly pumping up and down. His left eye blood red, and now almost completely closed, Williams slowly crawls his way over to the laid out Maori, and sits him up. Trapping Va’aiga’s left appendage under his armpit, Williams tightly links his hands around the challenger’s throat for the modified Sleeperhold! Comet: BUFFALO SLEEPAAAAAH! Citizen Williams has used this very hold to put away some of the top names in our sport, such as Ejiro Fasaki, and Michael Craven! Riley: Va’agia will never give up, he’s to crazy too! The fans come to their feet as Williams flagrantly twists Va’aiga’s torso from side to side, working the hold like a crazy mofo! Panting for air, the Maori badass’s long animal like tongue wildly dangles out of his mouth, bringing to mind the image of Jabba the Hutt being strangled in Return of the Jedi! Pounding his feet as if he’s trying to run from the seated position, Va’aiga desperately scoots his way towards the ropes, extending his long arm out as far he can, searching for salvation! Riley: He’s gonna reach the ropes, Comet, I told you he’d never give up! Just when the challenger’s fingers start to grace the ropes, Williams confuses the crowd by releasing the hold. Crushing the Maori’s hope, Danny snap mares him back into the center of the ring, where he immediately reapplies the submission! The crowd gets even higher, raising the volume to ear bleeding levels! Shaking his head up and down, Williams hisses like a xenomorph as he struggles to cut off the blood flow to Va’aiga’s brain! No longer reaching for the ropes, Va’aiga’s free arm begins to lifelessly swing back and forth in the breeze. Comet: HE’S OUT, THE CHALLENGER’S OUT! Riley: Rather than submit to his hated rival, Va’aiga instead passed out in the hold, keeping his pride intact! Feeling the life slip out of the Maori Badass’s body, Williams releases the hold, and goes for the cover! Still standing, the fans screech along with Soapdish’s count. “One!” “Two!” ................. “THRE-Aaaaaaaaaaaaaah!”,collectively sighs the thousands in attends. Williams shoots a bewildered look at Soapdish, puzzled as to how any life could still remain in the carcass that lies before him. Sitting his brain dead victim back up, a worn out Williams lackadaisically attempts to slap on the Buffalo Sleeper a third time. Not giving the World Champion the chance too, the Maori Badass stretches a boot out across the bottom rope. Riley: Va’aiga’s in no man’s land, not only has he survived the Buffalo Sleeper, but he still has enough sense to get to the ropes. Comet: It’s becoming more and more apparent that Va’aiga is perhaps Danny Williams’ kryptonite. Danny just isn’t equipped with the right tools to defeat him, much like how Ejiro couldn’t defeat him. Glistening with sweat, a frustrated Williams jumps to his feet, looking down at Va’aiga with bottled up anger. Danny tauntingly flicks his boot in the Maori’s face, daring him to get up and do something about it. In dying need of a nap, Va’aiga can only sluggishly climb to his knees, prompting the impatient World Champion to jerk him the rest of the way up. Pushing the drowsy challenger into a corner, Danny channels his pinned up rage into a some appallingly stiff elbow smashes! Going into full on berserker mode, Williams relentlessly pounds the challenger into a pulp, beating him down to the mat. Showing no mercy, Danny violently stomps away at Va’aiga’s head while the blood thirsty crowd cheers him on! Comet: Citizen Williams has lost it! All the rage he’s been storing inside himself for months, is finally being vented! Riley: I’ve never seen anybody take the fight to Va’aiga like this! Unable to allow this beat down to continue, Soapdish squeezes his way in-between Williams and Va’aiga, ordering the Champion to cease and desist! Refusing to comply, Danny shoves the scrawny official out of the way, and picks up where he left off. However, Va’aiga is no longer passively sitting on his ass. Trembling with anger, the Maori starts to rise out of the corner, brushing off Danny’s attacks. No longer a house of fire, Williams’ forearms become sloppy and sluggish as he struggle to keep the challenger down. Ka-Pow! Va’aiga manages to work a punch in between Williams’ elbows! Freezing up, Williams momentarily stares off into la la land, as if he forgot what he was doing. Snapping back to reality, Williams goes back to work on Va’aiga! Ka-Pow! The Maori Badass sneaks another punch in, this one buckles Danny’s knees, nearly knocking him off his feet! Stumbling backwards, Williams regains his composure, and lunges back in! Danny continues to wildy fling lose forearms into the Maori’s face, but it’s obvious there isn’t much on them. It isn’t long before Williams’ weak strikes cease to faze Va’agia, who is now snorting like a wild bull! Comet: What matter of beast is this villain! Riley: Williams has thrown everything he has Va’aiga, but the only thing he’s done is pissed him off! Fed up with this bullshit, the Moari Bass ties Williams’ up, and spins him around, so that it is now the Champion who is cornered! Attacking without mercy, Va’aiga unleashes a flurry of right hands upside Danny’s head, pounding the Champion down into the canvas. Displaying the same courtesy that Williams showed him, Va’aiga brutally rubs his boot in Danny’s face, totally disrespecting the Champion! Soapdish gets in the way, and the Maori surprisingly ceases the assault! Screaming like a mad man, Va’aiga wanders to the far side of the ring, celebrating his massacre of the World Champion! “Booooooooooooooooooooooo!” Soapdish inspects Danny carefully, noticing a thick stream of blackish blood trickling out of his ear. Deciding that Williams has had a long enough break, Va’aiga muscles his way into the scene, pulling Soapdish aside. Grabbing Williams by his tights and hair, Va’aiga runs him across the ring, and tosses him through the ropes like a rag doll! CLANK! Flying through the air, Williams slams into the guardrail, scaring the living hell out of the front roll fans! Comet: Things do not look good for the World Champion! Jumping down to the floor, the crazy eyed Maori catches Williams as he’s struggling to get on his feet. Standing poised and ready, Va’aiga waits for Williams to turn around, and than BOOM, he cracks him with a right hook that would make George Foreman himself envious! The thunderous punch sends Danny aimlessly staggering away in a drunken haze! Making chase, Va’aiga catches up with Williams, and sends him spilling over the guardrail with another big punch! Sporting bright yellow shirts, security guards create a circular walk around the World Champion, holding the rowdy crowd at bay. Climbing over the guardrail, Va’agia mounts the World Champion, and begins hammering him with lethal closed fists! Riley: He’s literally beating Williams from pillar to post! Comet: Yes, he’s given him the grand tour....of DOOM! Pulling the mutilated Champion to his feet, Va’aiga scoops him, and throws him over the guardrail with a standing Powerslam! After splattering on the floor, Williams desperately sprawls away, while Va’agia confidently stalks him. Trying to defend himself, Danny crawls his way up the ring apron, but the merciless Maori grabs him by the hair, and slams his face down into the canvas! As Danny sinks to his knees in a state of delirium, Va’aiga grabs one of the left over streamers, and wraps it around his throat. Riley: I knew those streamers would come in handy! Comet: Dastardly actions such as this is totally uncalled for! “Same my name, say it!”, growls Va’aiga as he chokes out the World Champion, who can only spit and gag in response. Asserting himself, Soapdish rolls out of the ring, and gets in the challenger’s face, ordering him to release the purple faced Champion. Though he would like nothing more than to strangle the life out of his former leader, Va’aiga releases Williams, believing that it hit would hurt him more if he took his belt instead. While Soapdish chastises the grumpy challenger, Williams wearily slides into the ring. In hot pursuit, the Maori Badass blows Soapdish off, and dives into the ring! With extended arms, Va’aiga makes his way over to the World Champion, who surprisingly rolls away! Hoping to force a change in momentum, Williams clumsily rolls to his feet, and weakly bounces off the ropes! Jumping in front of Williams’ path, Va’aiga scoops the World Champion up, and jumps forward! KA-BOOM! The entire Gund Arena shakes to it’s very foundation as Va’aiga crushes Williams to dust with his trademark Front Powerslam! Comet: THE MAORI SLAM!!! THE MAORI SLAM!!! Riley: Can you say,”New Heavyweight Champion of the World!” The fans pop out of their chairs in disbelief as Soapdish slides into the ring, and starts the count! One! Two! ............. THRE-NO! Williams just barely kicks out, and the hot crowd goes wild! Knowing full and well that if Soapdish had been in the ring the match would have been over, Va’aiga jumps to his feet, and shouts profanities(in English) at the scrawny official! His eyes closed tightly from pain, Williams weakly thrashes around on the mat like a dying man tossing and turning on his deathbed. Riley: Va’aiga has been screwed! Comet: If that villain hadn’t been up to no good on the outside, than Soapdish wouldn’t have had to leave the ring. So if you ask me, it’s his own fault! The intimidating beast that is Va’aiga backs Soapdish into a corner, before he regains his focus, and turns his attention back on the ailing Champion. Blood is now profusely pouring from Williams’ busted ear, painting his neck and shoulder in crimson. Bending over with a grunt, the angry Maori grabs a handful of Williams’ blood soaked hair, when the Champion flexibly brings his leg up, punting the big man in the side of the head! Having absorbed a lot of head trauma tonight, a wincing Va’aiga grabs his head and wobbles away, given Danny the opportunity to roll towards the ropes. Comet: And the challenger is sent reeling after taking just one kick! Perhaps all the punishment he’s taking over the course of this bout is starting to accumulate. Though the one eye he has left is glazed over, Williams heroically pulls himself up with the ropes, however Va’aiga is right there to greet him. Grabbing Danny by the tights, the powerful Maori attempts to pull him off the ropes only to find that the Champion has a death grip on em! One at a time, Va’aiga vigorously pries Danny’s arms off the ropes, bending them back into a Double Arm Chickenwing! Williams struggles to free himself, but it’s too little too late as the big Maori snaps back, launching the Champion across the ring like a human javelin! Comet: TIGER SUUUUUUUUUPLEX!!! Rocketing across the ring, Williams lands grotesquely on the back of his skull, causing his body to gruesomely fold up like a sheet! CRUNCH! The fans have their hearts in their throats as Va’aiga quietly makes his way across the ring, and flops atop the disfigured Champion’s remains for the pin! Riley: Hopefully Soapdish won’t screw this one up! You can hear a pin drop as Soapdish skids to the mat, and starts the count! One! Two! .......... THREE! NO! Williams wiggles a shoulder up! Running in the place, the celebrating fans create a rumble that can be heard throughout the entire state of Ohio! Pounding his fists into the mat, the frustrated challenger goes on a profane tirade, insisting that the count was slow! Soapdish holds his ground, maintaining that the count was fair. Spitting in the official’s direction, Va’aiga climbs to his feet, and adjusts his elbow pad, letting everyone know how he intends to finish the World Champion off! Knowing what this mean, the nuclear hot crowd gets extremely loud, and jumpy. Riley: It’s time for the Lariat! Comet: As history has shown, Williams has been defeated by the Lariat on numerous occasions. Thanks to the ex-football maneuver, Frost, TNT, and of course Va’agia, have all scored dominating victories over the current World Champion. Straining to get the limp World Champion to his feet, Va’aiga pushes Williams up against the ropes, and whips him off! However, the rubber legged Champion dramatically collapses in the center of the ring! A bit surprised, the challenger decides it would be best to lean into the ropes, and ambush Williams when he get’s up. With quivering legs, Williams shakily wobbles to his feet, only to go back down. Nearly jumping the gun, the Maori leans back into the ropes, continuing to size the Champion up. Finally, Williams finds the strength to stand up! On that cue, Va’aiga charges full speed ahead,.... WHAM! running right into a jaw shattering Mule Kick! Stopping dead in his tracks, the big Maori teeters backwards, but suddenly, explodes forward! Extending arm, Va’agia takes a big swing at Danny’s head, firing the..... Comet: LARIAAAAAAAAAAT!!! that would have torn Danny’s head off, if it wasn’t blocked! Spinning in place, Williams clocks the Maori with a big time forearm, knocking the monster off his feet! Comet: NO, ROLLING ELBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!!! Unable to keep his feet underneath him, Williams flops belly down on the mat, while the capacity crowd blows the roof off the place! Stunned but not knocked out, Va’aiga lies on his side with a blank expression on his face, wandering if anyone got the license plate number of the truck that hit him. Shaking his head from side to side, Va’aiga sits up on one knee, struggling to regain the senses that had been knocked out of him. Once he gathers his composure, the angry challenger stands up with snarl, while Williams continues to agonize on the mat. Disappointed by this turn of events, the crowd quiets down. Comet: Not even citizen Williams’ most reliable momentum shifter can turn the tide his way, he’s still in far worse shape than the challenger. Riley: Yeah, this is just a minor in-convince for Va’aiga, just a small bump in his road to the title. He made one tiny mistake, it won’t happen again. Frustrated for having run himself into trouble, the Maori Badass ventilates his rage by stomping a mud hole in the World Champion. Grabbing the Champion by his hair, Va’aiga pulls him up for additional punishment... CRACK! only to get drilled by a bruising spinning back elbow smash! Elegantly spinning on his heel like a ballerina of death, Williams twirls back around, knocking Va’aiga out of his boots with another Rolling Elbow! CRAAAAAAACK! Returning from the dead, the vocal fans cry out with joy! Dropping to his knees, the battered and bloody Champion gathers his strength for one final run. Riley: Damn, Va’aiga is given this thing away! Comet: The Champion is willing his way back in into the match, but does he still have enough gas in the tank into overcome the nearly unbeatable Va’aiga! Sensing that Williams is on the verge of vanquishing his long time foe, the hot crowd gives a continuos pop with no end in sight. For the first time tonight, Va’aiga appears to be in real trouble, experiencing a great deal of difficulty in climbing to his feet. Pouncing on the challenger like a hungry lion, Williams drags Va’aiga to his feet, and unleashes a bombardment of cringe inducing elbows! Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack! The brain scrambling combo leaves the Maori Badass helplessly wobbling in place in a human punching bag! Letting out a fearsome battle cry, Williams spins towards the dazed challenger like a discus thrower, firing one last Rolling Elbow! SMAAAAAAAAACK! Beating Danny to the punch, Va’aiga dives forward, decapitating the Champion with THE STIFFEST LARIAT IN THE HISTORY OF THE INDUSTRY! Danny’s legs go out from underneath him, causing the Champion to land totally vertical on the back of his neck! The horrified fans jump out of their chairs so fast you would think that they had buzzers in them! Comet: HE HIT IT! HE HIT IT! VA’AGIA HIT THE LARIAT!!! Riley: Now that’s how you kill a comeback! Williams went to the well one too many times, and boom, Va’aiga made him pay for it! No longer the invincible beast he once was, the punch drunk challenger lies dazed and confused on the mat, while Williams’ lifeless body bounces around with the momentum, before eventually coming to it’s final resting place. Shaking his head from side to side, Va’aiga snaps out of the elbow induced trance, coming to the realization that Danny is ripe for the pickings! The Maori epically crawls atop Danny, however to the challenger’s confusion, Soapdish doesn’t start the count. Upon further inspection the Maori Badass notices that Williams’ foot is draped across the bottom rope. Comet: Va’agia is so out of it, he didn’t even realize that Williams on the ropes. Not letting Williams’ lucky break rain on his parade, Va’aiga simply hooks the leg in question, prompting Soapdish to start the count. Riley: History has been, Comet! Tonight, were gonna crown a new Heavyweight Champion! To the say the spectators are shocked would be a huge understatement as they continue to stand in silence like mourners at a funeral, Danny Williams’ funeral. One! Two! ............. THREE! NO! Williams just barely wiggles his shoulder up in the nick of time! Relieved, the fans jump up and down with joy, celebrating the nearfall with an ear shattering pop! Comet: What a heartbreaker for poor Va’aiga, he finally hit his deadly Lariat, but was unable to capitalize in time! Riley: Williams has been hiding behind lady luck’s skirt this whole damn match! Rolling off the demolished Champion, the light headed Maori takes a few more seconds to collect his senses, before plotting his next move. Refusing to settle down, the hopefuls in attendance start a “Let’s go Danny!” chant that quickly picks up steam, and spreads through the building like wild fire. Leaning up against the ropes for support, Va’aiga carefully contemplates the manner in which he is to capture the World Title. Coming to the conclusion that he doesn’t have to risk using the dreaded Stinger, the Maori Badass decides that he can put away the Champion by simpler means. Williams can barely hold his one good eye open as Va’aiga carefully guides him to his feet, sizing him up for the.... Comet: LARIAT! HE’S GONNA GO FOR ANOTHER LARIAT!!! Steadying Williams, Va’aiga draws back his massive, muscular arm as far as he can, and launches it directly at his victim’s face! SWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH! Ducking under Va’aiga’s murderous finisher, Williams grabs a skin tight rear waistlock, and with a mighty heave, tosses his much larger adversary over his head! Comet: GERMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!! Going into the mat at an almost perfect ninety degree angle, the huge Maori lands on the back of his dome in sickening fashion! The second head bump of the night puts the already molten hot crowd over the top, damn near inciting a riot! Riley: He should have never went for the Lariat twice, it was hard enough to hit the first damn time! Comet: And with that Dangerous German Suplex, Citizen Williams may have finally, permanently turned the tide of this match! Both men are in horrible shape, and as result, they both start to stir around the same time. Tightly clutching the back of his head, the groaning challenger reaches his feet, only to discover that Danny is already up and running! CRAAAACK! The World Champion levels Va’aiga with a particularly nasty Running Elbow that sends thousands of little droplets of sweat flying into the air! In the instant that the Maori goes down, Williams flops on top of him, covering the challenger for the pin. Comet: I think Citizen Williams may have just knocked Va’aiga out cold! Overzealous, the fans count along with glee! “One!” “Two!” ................. “THRE-Oooooooooooooh!”, sighs the deeply involved crowd, cutting themselves off as Va’aiga shrugs over on his side, stopping the count! Riley: Don’t count your chickens before they’ve hatched Comet, Va’agia is still alive and kicking! Thanks to Va’agia’s Lariat, Williams is still in pretty horrible shape, especially now that the adrenaline rush is over. Picking himself off the mat, Danny hobbles his way over to the Maori Badass, who has just now gotten up to one knee. Needing Va’aiga on his feet, Williams pulls him the rest of the way up, only to get his jaw jacked by a primitive right hook! Though he’s knocked silly, Danny predictably comes back with a whale of an elbow! Unpredictably, Danny follows that elbow with a reciprocating blow to the left side of Va’aiga’s jaw! CRACK! Completing the lighting quick combo, Williams pulverizes Va’agia with the right forearm again! CRACK! In a cloud of blinding sweat, the k.o.ed Maori crumbles to his knees, and flops face down on the mat. Riley: Oh man, it hurt to watch that! Comet: Surely this will be enough to put the challenger away...if not, god help us all! The crowd goes into hysterics as Danny rolls Va’aiga’s limp body over, blanketing it for what is sure to be the match ending pin! “One!” “Two!” ............. “THREE!” NO! Not ready to lay over and die just yet, the determined Maori raises his arm into the air! Riley: Unbelievable, unbelievable! Comet: I knew Va’aiga was tough, but I didn’t know he had a mutant healing factor! Not expecting this outcome, Williams sits up on one knee with a puzzled look on his face. To Danny’s amazement, Va’aiga actually starts making an attempt at getting his feet under him, prompting the Champion to take off the ropes! Bouncing off the ropes, Williams picks up an incredible amount of speed! CRAAACK! Danny slams his forearm into the back of his rising victim’s skull, dropping him like a bad habit! Comet: ENZUI RUNNING ELBOOOOOOOOOOW!!! Standing over his opponent’s lifeless remains, Williams wiggles his boots underneath Va’aiga’s arm pits, and delicately turns in the opposite direction, rolling the big man over on his shoulders! Bridging back over Va’aiga, Williams folds the challenger’s legs over his head for a beautiful, picture perfect Japanese Crutch Pin! Riley: Never saw Danny do that before! Comet: Williams is digging deep into his arsenal, trying different things in hopes of finding something that can work! The crowd goes into hysterics as Soapdish slides to the mat, and starts the long awaited count! “One!” “Two!” ............... “THREE!” NO! Doing the impossible, Va’aiga kicks out of the pretzel like pinning predicament! Thinking for sure that it was over, many of the fans prematurely release their streamers in celebration! Comet: By the Son of Jural, where is Va’aiga getting his strength?! Riley: Williams can bust out all the new tricks he likes, but he still can’t defeat his former stablemate!

And now a totally non-biased review of Williams vs. Va’aiga. Blarg, I really dislike all the restarts at the opening, especially considering that nothing that meaningful happens in-between them except what I would expect would be slow, sloppy mat work from two rather big oafs. Va’aiga getting dropped from three straight mid range running elbows worked in the classic early face/monster match hot spot sense. However, the standing waistlock switch from nowhere was kind of weird, and awkward. Early Powerbomb tease was good, showing that Williams’ offense has a focus. Nice to see a face in peril heat spot with the Boston Crab, but may not have been well timed. These usually should come at a time when the heel has been dominating, and the fans are sick of it. Danny’s delay sell of the Boston Crab was also kind of silly, and I’m really surprised that the goof balls at NOAH haven’t done something like that yet. I don’t get the early Va’aiga Stinger tease, isn’t that the a rarely used super move, and it’s being built too from the get go. The Double K.O. spot was well timed, and logical considering Va’aiga had just took the German and the Brainbuster. Williams escaping the Rolling Germans, and suddenly gaining control to hit some move that I have no idea what it is was pretty goofy. I never liked how someone can take two Germans, and suddenly reverse the third and be o.k, at least do something to sell the other two. In Francis/Williams, Danny took the Rolling Germans, and was dead, unable to prevent Francis from hitting the Cobra Clutch Suplex. Williams kicked out, but never got any more offense in. Va’aiga doing the Hulk Hogan impersonation was pretty fucked up. Williams pops up from a finisher! Va’aiga pops up from a finsher! And this match turns into a total shit fest that makes Kawada/Mutoh look like Kawada/Hansen. I love you Va’aiga, I love your character, I love your writing style, so I ask...why...why....why would you ruin an otherwise good match with one of the worst endings in wrestling history? There is some good stuff to be found here, but tons more head scrathing stuff. The strike exchange at the end was good, if only it didn't follow about 3 finisher no sells. Truth be told, I'm even more upset with my loss, now that I've read the winning match.

You can have anything past Solid Gold, but if dare touch my copy of Entertainment I will rise from the grave and hunt you down.

Comet: By the Son of Jural, where is Va’aiga getting his strength?! Riley: Williams can bust out all the new tricks he likes, but he still can’t defeat his former stablemate! Mad as hell and refusing to take any more shit, Williams jumps to his feet, and pats his elbow! Vacant eyed and expressionless, the stunned challenger struggles to get his feet, but his dead legs just won’t let him. Given Va’aiga a helping hand, Williams grabs him by his hair, and jerks him to his feet. Suddenly, the Maori swipes the Champion’s hands off, and swings his meaty arm up for the.... Comet: LARIAT!!! but there isn’t anything on it! The once deadly strike loosely bounces off Williams’ chest, doing absolutely zero damage. Riley: If he’s gonna go down, Va’aiga is gonna fittingly go down swinging! Tucking his body in, Williams roars like a Dragon Ball Z character as he briefly charges up! Really stepping into his swing, Williams decks Va’agia with an elbow so hard that it nearly shatters the bones in his arm! CRAAAAAAAACK! The sound of bone on bone echoes through the entire arena, hell even a poor drunken bastard puking in the restroom can hear it! Comet: HOLY COWABUNGA! That was the hardest elbow smash I’ve ever seen or even heard for that matter! D.O.A on his way to the mat, Va’agia hits the canvas so hard that his legs involuntarily fold over his head! Leaning down his corrugated opponent’s legs, Williams holds the undead Maori down with a slide pin! Not given their soar throats a rest, the fans scream along with the count at the top of their lungs! “ONE!” “TWO!” ................. “THREE!” Va’aiga stays down, and Soapdish calls for the bell! DING! DING! DING! Though they’ve done made the biggest pops of the night for the Clusterfuck, the fans still manage to blow the roof off one more time! Streamers and confetti come floating into the ring like snow flakes, creating a party atmosphere. Comet: DANNY RETAINS! DANNY RETAINS! So happy he can barely contain himself, Dace comes rushing into the ring, the first to congratulate Williams on his draining defense! Bleeding, bruised, and nearly dead, Williams is in no condition to celebrate or even let the official raise his hand. Still, Soapdish grabs his wrist, and just barely lifts it up, making the win an official one. Funyon: Ladies and Gentlemen, the winner of the match by pinfall at 31 minutes and 22 seconds.................AND STILL THE SWF CHAMPION OF THE WORLD...................................DANNY WILLIAMSssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!!!!! Getting the title from the outside official, Soapdish hands the belt over to Williams, well actually he just kind of lays it on top of him. Dace stays by his side, given the ailing Champion water, while they patiently wait for the paramedics. On the other side of the spectrum, Duran is pouring water on Va’aiga’s face in a vain attempt to revive him. Comet: I didn’t think it was possible, but Williams somehow over came the odds, and knocked out one of the most fearsome villains in the history of the SWF! Finally, the demon that has haunted Williams’ Title reign has been exercised! Riley: Bah, Va’aiga got defeated by fatigue not Danny’s elbows. I don’t think I’ve ever seen the big man work so hard for such a long match, in the end he was victim of conditioning I wager, and of course lousy officiating, since the match was technically over after the Maori Slam. Comet: Let’s not try to stir up any controversy, Williams cleanly defeated his long time foe, and hopefully this long, bloody feud. will finally come to an end. Only time can tell. For now, Williams has defeated his toughest challenge to date, solidifying himself as Champion to be reckoned with. Riley: Yes, but here are many more challenges that lie ahead for Williams, namely the Clusterfuck winner. Comet: Correct, Williams may have exercised a ghost from his past, but there are still many more that he will have face to in the future.... By now, Janus has came down to ringside. Together, he and Dace hoist Williams up on their shoulders, letting him raise the title over his head for a few moments! They let every side of the arena get a picture, before they have to lay the weary Champion back on the mat. Comet: Well fans, this has been a historical night that will be remembered in the hearts of those who were lucky enough to witness it. On behalf of myself and my colleague, I would like to wish you all a good night!

Bah, after all the work and time I put into my match, and incredibly insane obsticles I overcame to turn it in, this is too disheartening. As of now, I'm retired, and I probably won't be back. Congratues to Va'aiga.

Oh man, I haven't seen that one in a while, so I really couldn't say. Looking back now, I really wish I saved all my old WCW tapes.

It's in, sorry King. These damn boards have been fucking with me all day.
