Tony149 0 Report post Posted February 26, 2006 COLE Michael Cole, ladies and gentlemen, here at Sofa Central with Jesse "The Body" Ventura to call our next match, the finals of the 2006 Anderson Cup! VENTURA Down to the final two. The #2 seed in the Miracle Weirdness Connection Conference, the Sooner Bruisers, vs. the #4 seed in the Los Infernales Conference, the Heavenly Rockers, with Arn Anderson as special referee; the winner goes on to face Sarcastic Simon and Narcissistic Ned at AngleMania V for the titles! COLE Before we go to the ring for what promises to be a thrilling contest, let's review the Anderson Cup bracket one last time. LOS INFERNALES CONFERENCE #1 GPX vs. #8 Los Diablos de Fuego -- LOS DIABLOS #4 The Heavenly Rockers vs. #5 Tha Puerto Rican & Stephen Joseph -- ROCKERS #2 Thunderkid & Reject vs. #7 The South Central Militia -- TK/REJECT #3 The Sk8ter Boiz vs. #6 NRG -- BOIZ MIRACLE WEIRDNESS CONNECTION CONFERENCE #1 Black T vs. #8 James Blonde & Faqu -- BLACK T #4 Christian Wright & Bohemoth vs. #5 The Lonestar Gunslingers -- LSGS #2 The Sooner Bruisers vs. #7 Glory by Anarchy -- SOONERS #3 The Love Doctors vs. #6 Team Heyross -- HEYROSS SEMI-FINALS #4 Heavenly Rockers vs. #8 Los Diablos de Fuego -- ROCKERS #3 Sk8ter Boiz vs. #2 TK & Reject -- TK/REJECT #2 Sooner Bruisers vs. #6 Team Heyross -- SOONERS #4 Lonestar Gunslingers vs. #1 Black T -- LSGS CONFERENCE FINALS LI: #4 Heavenly Rockers vs. #2 TK & Reject -- ROCKERS MWC: #2 Sooner Bruisers vs. #5 Lonestar Gunslingers -- SOONERS FINALS, ZERO HOUR The Heavenly Rockers vs. The Sooner Bruisers VENTURA There you see it, the big upset in the first round, the #1 seed and last year's winners The GPX being eliminated by YOUR favorite tag team, Michael Cole, Los Diablos de Fuego. COLE Of course, YOUR favorite tag team, Jesse, Black T eliminated in the semi-finals by the Lone Star Gunslingers. VENTURA Yeah, but as Black T proved tonight, that was a fluke. And after Thursday night they'll be the ones going to AngleMania to face the tag team champions of the world. COLE No, OAOAST officials nixed that plan. VENTURA Why?! COLE Because the winner of the Anderson Cup gets the title shot at AngleMania. No ifs, ands or buts. VENTURA What kind of a decision is that? Could you imagine Congress pulling back on a deal? COLE You just never know with the government. But let's talk about the finals. Arn Anderson said it Thursday night, it will be the power of the Sooner Bruisers vs. the speed of the Heavenly Rockers. But with what transpired between the Heavenly Rockers and the New New Midnight Express just 3 days ago, with Logan Mann being spiked piledriven on the concrete floor, how does that change the match for him and Synth? VENTURA I think it does a number of things, the biggest being if Mann alters his wrestling style in any way. In my opinion, it would be a mistake for him to do so. You gotta go with what brought you here. He can't let the fact he's coming in banged up effect the way he works. Tonight might be the closest he and Synth EVER get to a tag team title match. You get hurt, hey, you got a little over 30 days to heal up the best you can before going on there again, so you gotta let everything fly tonight. COLE And what about the Sooner Bruisers. What's their strategy heading into this match? VENTURA One thing and one thing only: target the neck. The guy's coming in telling you he's injured, they can't let fan opinion decide whether or not to attack the neck. If the tables were turned, you know the Heavenly Rockers would go after their injury. As they say, do unto others before they do unto you. COLE In other words, win if you can, lose if you must, but always cheat? VENTURA Absolutely. COLE Let's go up to Michael Buffer. * DING * DING * DING * DING * BUFFER Wrestling fans, the following contest is the finals of the 2006 Anderson Cup! It is set for one fall and there MUST BE a winner. So are you ready? Los Angeles, California, ARE YOU RRRREADY? "YEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!" BUFFER Then for the thousands in attendence and the millions watching around the world... ladies and gentlemen... LLLLLLLLLETS GET READY TO RUUUUUMMMBLLLLLLLLLE! The OAOAST Legends theme accompanies the arrival of special referee Arn Anderson, complete with striped shirt and black jeans, holding up the 4 fingers as he walks down the ramp. BUFFER Introducing first, the special guest referee...from the state of Minnesota, he is a former 4-time NWA and WCW tag team champion of the wooooooorld and the longest reigning WCW World Television Champion, a founding member of the legendary 4 Horsemen; he is "The Enforcer" ARN ANNNNNNDERRRRRRRSONNNNNNN! COLE Many of the greats of professional wrestling have come from the state of Minnesota, including my broadcast colleague who just happened to be the Governer of said state for 4 years. As we go back to Michael Buffer. The OAOAST Legends theme fades in favor the Edgar Winter classic "Frankenstein." The Sooner supports are in full voice as the howls start ringing through the Staples Center. Howling out from the back and roaming all over the stage like the crazed Pyscho Gremlin he is, Frankie runs circles around his big brother as the Man of Tomorrow flexes the "byte-cips." BUFFER Now the finalists in the 2006 Anderson Cup. First, from Oklahoma City, weighing a combined weight of 525 pounds... THE SOONER BRUUUUUUUUISERSSSSSSS! VENTURA My pick to win it all, right there. Frankie runs in place inside the ring while Frank poses on the middle turnbuckle. The Pyscho Gremlin begins nawing on the top rope as the familiar tune of Nirvana's "Heart-Shaped Box" blares over the loud speakers. The crowd EXPLODES as Synth and Logan appear in their HALO AND ANGEL WINGS! COLE Would you take a look this! The Heavenly Rockers have gone old school, perhaps for luck. VENTURA And luck they're gonna need against the Sooner Bruisers. The leather pants replaced by virgin white tights, an airbrushed drawing of Trump Plaza on the back with the words "Right Here" running down the right pant leg and "Right Now" (they're fans of all kinds of music) down the left pant leg to symbolize tonight is the start of their quest to win the World Tag Team Title. BUFFER And their opponents...hailing from Sin City, Las Vegas, Nevada...at a total of 430 pounds, the greatest rock 'n' wrestling band of all time... THE HEAVENLYYYYY RRRRRROOOOOOOOCKERRRRRRRSSSS! COLE This is the first time we've gotten a chance to see Logan today. He and Synth refused all media requests for interviews. The Heavenly Rockers are prepared for tonight's match. The biggest match of both team's careers. VENTURA Until AngleMania. But yeah, Mann doesn't look that bad right now. Let's see how long that lasts once the match gets underway. COLE It's also important to note Logan is not wearing a neckbrace, which he was during the week to support his neck. I know his girlfriend Holly-Wood is watching on from her home. And we're just about set to go. Sit back and enjoy the 2006 Anderson Cup Finals! * DING DING * The bell has sounded, the entrance attire is removed, only two men in the ring and they are "The Pyscho Gremlin" Frankie Frankensteiner and Synth Esizer. They start with a good luck handshake and then lockup! Synth quickly grabs a side headlock, then is fired off to the ropes and bulldozed by a shoulderblock. Frankie makes eye contact with the fallen Synth, then hits the near side. Synth stays down and turns over on his stomach as the Pyscho Gremlin comes running at him, only to have Frankie drop down and apply a rear waistlock. Synth sits up and out into a hammerlock. Standing switch into a waistlock takedown by Frankie, who twirls around the back of Synth before applying a front facelock. The Synthmeister gets up to a vertical base and uses a double-leg takedown to ground the Oklahoma native, somersaulting on top afterwards and cradling the legs for the first pin attempt of the match. ONE... KICKOUT! Too early. Synth knows his team has to keep the Sooners on the defensive for most of the match, not wanting to get caught with a big blow that would cost them their chance at tag team gold at AngleMania. But Synth does get caught with a big blow, after whipping Frankie to the ropes and setting low too soon. GUTWRENCH POWERBOMB! VENTURA The match may be over before it even started, Michael Cole. ONE... TWO... KICKOUT! The Sooners know what Synth and Logan do, that they want to remain in the driver's seat. They want to strike big and end the match as soon as possible, but if that doesn't happen then they'll finish them off slowly and dish out heavy pain in the process. Frankie stuns Synth with a kick to the gut, then shoots him to the ropes. Like Synth before him, Frankie sets too soon and gets caught with a backslide! ONE... TW-- KICKOUT! COLE Both men with some butterflies to start. As we said, it's without question the biggest match of their careers. The winner goes on to face the tag champions at the biggest show of the year. It gets no better than that, fans. The pace quickens as Frankie charges at Synth, who grabs the outstretched arm of the Pyscho Gremlin and swings around him, hooking the free arm with his legs for a crucifix. But Frankie blocks the pinning combination by hurling Synth in the air and giving him a gut-buster! Synth's legs buckle from the impact but remains on his feet. Not for long, however, as the Gremlin hits a Soonerline! "OW, OW, OW, OWWWWWWW!" VENTURA And that's exactly how Synth is feeling just about now. ONE... TWO-- KICKOUT! Just as quickly the pace quicken, it slows down with a reverse chinlock. Synth grabs Frankie around the neck by both hands and pulls himself up, then connects with a series of elbows to the ribs to free himself. The Synthmeister picks up speed by hitting the ropes and takes Frankie down with a cross bodyblock for the... ONE... TW-- KICKOUT! VENTURA Each team with early nearfalls. But notice how Frankie keeps kicking out at one-and-a-half whereas he's had Synth down for the two count on more than one ocassion. That's why I'm pickin' the Sooner Bruisers. They can take you out at any second. Very tough to combat. Beautiful armdrag by the Synthmeister. As Jesse says, Synth takes Frankie over with a beautiful armdrag and catches him again on the way back up with a dropkick. The Psycho Gremlin no-sells the blow and runs right into another armdrag takeover. Synth employs a hit-and-run tatic, hitting a number of running leg lariats until being caught in midair and slammed straight down into the mat! ONE... TWO... KICKOUT! Frankie scoopes Synth up by the hair, but Synth crawls between the legs and rolls Frankie up in a school boy! ONE... TW-- KICKOUT! COLE Again, Frankie kicks out at one-and-a-half. Synth nearly trips over his own feet as he hits the ropes. Spinning back elbow knocks the tough Sooner off his feet. Here's the cover. ONE... TW-- KICKOUT! Frankie lunges towards Synth, who delivers a jawbreaker that sends the Pyscho Gremlin reeling to his corner, allowing both men to tag out to their partners. Frank and Logan lock eyes as they step into the ring and aggressively lockup, tossing and turning each other in the ropes. Special referee Arn Anderson tells them to break or he'll start the 5 count, but it doesn't come to that as both competitors do break. But not before the Man of Tomorrow gives Logan a subtle nudge! Both men engage in another rough collar-and-elbow tie-up, resulting in a Frank Frankensteiner T-Bone suplex! ONE... TWO... KICKOUT! Logan doesn't even make it up to his feet before being grabbed by Frank, who shoots him to the ropes. But Mann telegraphs Frank's next move, leapfrogging over the Man of Tomorrow and leveling him with a perfectly executed leg lariat! ONE... TW-- KICKOUT! Frank reverses Logan's Irish whip and misses a Soonerline on the rebound, only to get caught with a cross bodyblock that sends he and Logan tumbling recklessly over the top rope to the floor! Frank pops up to his feet and shoves Logan, who returns in kind. Their respective partners rush over to clam the situation. VENTURA A picture is worth a thousands words, Michael Cole. Tell me these guys don't hate each other. They've been saying all the right things in public, but all 4 men hate each other. COLE The tempers flaring out here on the floor. VENTURA And with good reason. There's A LOT on the line. Synth and Frankie defuse the situation outside as the legal men return to the ring. The Man of Tomorrow licks his hands before raising his right hand in the air, calling for a test of strength. Logan accepts the challenge, locking his hands together with Frank. Frank uses his height and weight advantage to bring Mann to his knees. Logan struggles to get up to his feet, his arms and legs buckling from the pressure. COLE Logan in trouble here. VENTURA And he only has himself to blame. Too much ego and not enough brains. "LO-GAN!" "LO-GAN!" "LO-GAN!" Mann attempts to rise up again, and he does, successfully countering with a monkey flip. Their hands still locked together, Logan floats on top of Frank who puts the knees up to prevent Mann from coming down on him. Frank returns to a vertical base and kicks Logan in the gut, then double underhooks the arms. TIGER BOMB...COUNTERED INTO A FRANKENSTEINER!!! "OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!" "YEEEEEEEEAAAAAHHHHHH!" COLE Amazing counter move. Out of nowhere, Logan hit Frank with his own Frankensteiner! ONE... TWO... TH-- NO! VENTURA The Pyscho Gremlin with the save as the Heavenly Rockers get their first two count of the night on the Sooner Bruisers. A disoriented Frank is placed in an arm wringer and taken to the corner of the Heavenly Rockers. Synth accepts the tag, and kicks Frank in the arm. Synth cranks down on the arm following another arm wringer. The Heavenly Rockers use a series of quick tags to attack Frank's arm with a number of double-axehandles off the top. Back to the arm wringer. The Man of Tomorrow responds with a devastating forearm smash to the face. Frank shakes the arm to get the blood flowing, then rams Synth into the turnbuckle. He uses the healthier arm to SLAP Synth across the chest, sending shockwaves and plently of "WHOOOOOs" throughout the Staples Center. Frank whips the Synthmeister to the far corner and charges in, driving the shoulder into the midsection and then throwing Synth to the mat. The man dubbed the "Big, Bad Rebooty Daddy" by his freakoziods continues to work on his arm, massaging it to bring it back to full strength. Frank hits the far side as Synth kneels up, and leapfrogs over the incoming Sooner Bruiser. The Man of Tomorrow counters Synth's hiptoss attempt with a fireman's carry takeover into a top wristlock. VENTURA Beautiful counter to the hiptoss. You know Frank has done his homework, going after the arm that's been broken twice in two years. COLE Thanks to the New New Midnight Express, whom the winner of tonight's match will meet at AngleMania V, provided Sarcastic Simon and Narcissistic Ned are still the champions heading in. Synth puts the boots under Frank's chin, trying to kick him off but Frank holds on to the overhead wristlock. ONE... TWO... Synth gets his shoulders off the mat, as he continues to think of a way to escape from the clutches of Frank. The Synthmeister rolls onto his back to lessen the pressure, then grabs Frank's tights and stuns everyone in attendence as he lifts Frank up in the air in an inverted suplex position. But instead of slamming the Oklahoma native to the mat, Synth falls back and hotshots Frank gut-first on the top rope! With Frank straddling the top Synth springs off the ropes and nails the Man of Tomorrow with a running knee to the side of the head, knocking the OAOAST superstar to the floor! After an exchange is made, Logan Mann brings Frank up on the apron and suplexes him into the ring. ONE... TWO... KICKOUT! The Heavenly Rockers with a quick tag. Irish whip, and a double back elbow knocks the big man off his feet. Following a bodyslam, Synth connects with a second rope FLYING ELBOW! ONE... TWO... KICKOUT! Another quick tag made by the Heavenly Rockers. Logan and Synth front facelock Frank and take him over with a double-team suplex. Logan ascends to the heavens and comes off the top with a big splash...BUT FRANK GETS THE KNEES UP AND MAKES THE TAG! "OW, OW, OW, OW, OWWWWWWWWWW!" The Pyscho Gremlin with a Soonerline! Synth enters and gets wiped out by a Soonerline as well. Frankie whips Logan to the ropes and hits a POWERSLAM! ONE... TWO... THR-- KICKOUT! Frankie scoopes Logan up and fires him back to the ropes. He misses a Soonerline as Logan baseball slides through his legs and locks on a SLEEPER HOLD! Frankie rams Logan repeatedly in the corner to break the sleeper but is unsuccessful. Despite his best efforts Frankie begins to go down, dropping to a knee. Arn Anderson raises the arm up and lets it fall. ONE! He raises the arm again. TWO! COLE One more time and it's over. Arm goes up. Arm comes dow...NO! Arn wavies off the count, signaling no submission. Frankie lifts Logan on his back and rams in the corner, but he still won't let go. Again into the corner. Nothing. One more time in the corner, but Logan releases the sleeper and lets Frankie hit the turnbuckles himself, then... * WHAM * ...drills him with a wicked left hook! Logan hooks the near leg. ONE... TWO... THREE-- NOOOOOOOOOOO! VENTURA Foot on the rope! COLE What a match we're witnessing. Logan nailed Frankie with that wicked left hook, but Frankie was too close to the ropes. Tag made. Synth now the legal man. Irish whip by the Heavenly Rockers. They miss a double clothesline and get slaughtered on the rebound by a Soonerline from the Pyscho Gremlin! Logan rolls out onto the ramp as the Man of Tomorrow is tagged back in. Synth rises to his feet and gets kicked in the gut by Frank, which is followed up by a TIGER BOMB! Logan is next to feel the wrath of Frank, getting caught diving into the ring from the ramp and is elevated into the air, landing hard on the mat. Frank brings Synth back to his feet and fires him off to the ropes. TILT-A-WHIRL SLAM! VENTURA Uh-oh. The Synthmeister is real trouble now. You know what's comin' up next, Michael Cole. COLE As does everyone in the Staples Center. To the ropes goes Synth while up in the air goes Frank. FRANKENSTEINER...COUNTERED INTO A SIT OUT POWERBOMB!!! "OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!" ONE... TWO... THREE-- NO! Frankie breaks up the pin. Synth brings Frank over to the Heavenly Rockers corner in a front facelock, and tags Logan. Mann with a double-axehandle off the top down onto the back of the Man of Tomorrow. He chops the big Sooner down with more double-axehandle smashes to the back, then shoots him to the ropes and connects with a leg lariat. Mann drops the leg across the chest before making the cover. ONE... TWO... KICKOUT! Logan lifts Frank up for a back suplex, only to have him slide over and deliver an inverted DDT! VENTURA Now we'll see how cozy the Sooners and the Heavenly Rockers are. Will they focus on the neck? COLE That neck injured Thursday night. The Man of Tomorrow with the cover! ONE... TWO... THR-- NO! * TAG * Big elbow across the chest of Logan. The Pyscho Gremlin cradles the leg. ONE... TWO... KICKOUT! The crowd gasps as Logan is placed in a standing headscissors, then breathe a sigh of relief as Frankie picks him up in a Canadian backbreaker...but Logan slips and slides, pulling Frankie down with a sunset flip! ONE... TWO... Frankie rolls through and charges Mann, only to run into a monkeyflip. Logan somersaults to his corner and tags Synth. Springboard clothesline knocks the Pyscho Gremlin off his feet. ONE... TWO... KICKOUT! The Synthmeister quickly goes up to the top and launches a missle dropkick square in the sternum! ONE... TWO... NO! Running on pure adreanline Synth is a bit timid with his next month, which ultimately costs him. He skips over Frankie and runs under a Soonerline, and now with the Pyscho Gremlin rumbling towards him he tries to leapfrog over...BUT GETS POWERSLAMMED IN MID-MOVE!!! VENTURA Whoa, big power bodyslam, a Sooner trademark! COLE Arn Anderson with the count. ONE... TWO... THR-- KICKOUT! Halfway through the ropes the Man of Tomorrow says that was a 3. Arn gestures "2" with his index and middle fingers. Frankie scoopes Synth up in a Canadian backbreaker and rams him into the turnbuckles, then shoves him upright and hurls him off the top with a capture head-and-arms suplex! ONE... TWO... THRE-- NO! "YEEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHHH!" Mann with the save, but it Synth who winds up paying for his partner's sins. Synth kicks his arms and legs as Frankie applies more pressure to the DRAGON SLEEPER he's clamped on. Arn asks Synth if he wants to quit, but the answer is obviously no. Synth repeatedly knees the Pyscho Gremlin in the face to break face, but that isn't enough. More knee strikes follow and Frankie still doesn't let go. Logan takes matters into his own hands, coming in and wailing away on Frankie. That brings in Frank who shoves Mann away. The two exchange heated words and SLAPS before slugging it out to the delight of the crowd! "YEEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHHH!" Frankie breaks the sleeper to attack Logan. The Sooners double-team Mann while Arn tries to regain order and Synth remains down. They whip Mann to the ropes, only to get drilled by a pair of Heavenly Rockers dropkicks after Logan ducks a Soonerline! Synth picks Frankie off the mat and has his Irish whipped reversed, sending him running into the corner, but he moves out of the way as Frankie charges in! The Pyscho Gremlin bounces straight back out of the corner and into a hangman's neckbreaker! ONE... TWO... KICKOUT! Synth tags Logan before finishing Frankie off with a snap suplex. Slingshot legdrop by Mann. ONE... TWO... KICKOUT! With Frankie reeling, Logan calls for Percussion/DDT. He sets Frankie up, but the Pyscho Gremlin counters with a release overhead suplex, only to have Mann land on his feet and nail him with PERCUSSION as he turns around! COLE He got it! It's over! ONE... TWO... THREE! * DING DING DING * NO! The bell rung in the minds of fans around the world, but not where it counts -- the ring -- as the Man of Tomorrow dove into the ring and broke the count up just in the nick of time. Frankie rolls onto his stomach to prevent himself form getting pinned, but it leaves him prone to the side headlock. VENTURA Mann giving himself a quick breather while continuing to wear down the Pyscho Gremlin. But I gotta go back to that last pin, I thought it was over once Mann hit Percussion. How Frankie kicked out of that I don't know. COLE You weren't the only one who thought it was over, so did I and millions of fans worldwide, but it was only two. VENTURA And 7/8s, right? Oh, I forgot...wrong announcer. You guys in Stamford look alot alike now. That wasn't the case in my day. You'd never confuse Monsoon and McMahon. Frankie rises to his feet and folds Logan up like an accordion with a vicious backdrop driver! Fortunately for Mann, he took a bulk of the concussion on his shoulder rather that his neck. Still, he's left flat on his back as is Frankie, prompting Arn Anderson to count both men out. 1... 2... 3... 4... 5... Logan is the first to stir, eying his partner in the corner, chants of "LO-GAN" fueling his desire to make the tag. 6... 7... 8... 9... Mann reaches his corner, but Frank steps in and grabs the referee's attention as Logan makes the tag! But Arn disallows it because he didn't see it, leaving Synth and his supporters frustrated. VENTURA Excellent call by referee Arn Anderson. The rulebook states you gotta see a tag to allow it. If the Heavenly Rockers spent more time reading the rulebook instead of writing music maybe they'd know that. Frankie wraps his arms around Logan's torso, looking for a belly-to-belly, but Logan fights out of it with quick knee strikes to the ribs and hits Frankie with his own belly-to-belly suplex! ONE... TWO... KICKOUT! Logan waves in his partner, and the Heavenly Rockers shoot Frankie to the ropes. Double-team back bodydrop. Arn corners Synth to tell him to get out of the ring, leaving the Man of Tomorrow open to blindside Mann with a stiff forearm shot the back of the neck! Frank picks Logan off the mat for some form of a vertical suplex, only to have Anderson rush over and threaten disqualification if he's not out of the ring by the count of 5. Frank begs to differ, dropping Logan and slapping his hands together to illustrate a tag was made. Arn says he didn't see it and the referee has final say, and he says to get out of the ring. While Arn and Frank continue their arguement Mann crawls to the corner undected and climbs to the top. Frank shouts an expletive at Arn and slaps the top rope in protest of the call, causing Logan to slip off the top and smack his head on the canvas! VENTURA Oh, Frank inadvertently caused Mann to fall off the top and drive his head into the mat! COLE The last thing Logan needed was to aggravate the neck injury he sustained in an ambush from the World tag team champions just 3 nights ago on HeldDOWN~! The crowd watch in horror as Logan lies in a fetal position, clutching his neck, being attended to by Arn Anderson. Arn asks Logan if he wishes to continue, but doesn't get an answer as Frank is legally tagged in and delivers a running stomp to the head! Logan writhes in pain as Frank drops a series of knees across the neck, then is rammed into the top turnbuckle. Trapped in the corner Logan is helpless as Frank unleashes a barrage of... * CHOP * "WHOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" ...chops, forearm smashes and kneelifts. The Man of Tomorrow throws Mann to the mat and drops a big elbow before going for the cover. ONE... TWO... KICKOUT! Like a sack of potatos, Logan is placed over the shoulder of Frank. The big Sooner walks over to his corner with Mann in toll, and tags the Pyscho Gremlin, who gleefully comes off the top with an elbow drop as Frank releases Mann. COLE Oh, my! Don't you think the Sooner Bruisers are being a little [i]too[/i] aggressive, Jesse? VENTURA This is professional wrestling! If something happens during a match that you can take advantage of, you damn well take advantage of it. Besides, we all know the Sooner Bruisers are known for their rough, high-impact style of wrestling. ONE... TWO... THR-- NO! A roar goes up in the Staples Center as Synth makes the save. Frank practically begs his baby brother, Frankie, to tag him. Which he does. The Man of Tomorrow steps through the ropes with a swagger, seemingly enjoying the sight of Logan looking up in the lights. A helpless Mann is scooped up and dropped throat-first on the top rope, snapping his neck straight back. Frank delivers another big elbow across the sternum. ONE... TWO... NO! Synth again with the save. The Sooners are beginning to get irked, but they stay on the task at hand. Frank isolates Mann near the Sooner corner with a half-nelson, driving the knee into the spine of the back as he tilts the neck down with his right hand. Logan not only has to fight off Frank but the question of quitting from referee Arn Anderson as well. He makes it clear he has no intention of quitting, as he grabs Frank by the back of his neck and rises up to the roar of the crowd and the chants of his name. Frank puts an end to the rally by hitting a HALF-NELSON SUPLEX! "OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!" VENTURA Was that ever nasty. Mann landing on the back of his neck once again. COLE That--That did it. He's not kicking out of this. Helluva effort. "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" The boo birds come out as Frank places a knee on Mann's chest and flexes his "byte-cips" for the cover. ONE... TWO... THREE-- NO! "YEEEEEEAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!" Cole was right. Logan wouldn't kickout, but his partner would make yet another save, shoving Frank to the mat. Arn Anderson quickly gets between Frank and Synth to keep the fireworks from exploding, and a good job he does, except for missing the Sooner Bruisers hotshot Mann again throat-first on the top rope as he accompanies Synth back to the corner. "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" COLE Why the hell would they do that?! VENTURA Because they wanna win! COLE Yeah, but did they really need to drop the guy on his neck AGAIN, DAMNIT?! VENTURA It's like I told you, you take advantage of the situtation you're presented in the ring. If the guy's coming in with a bad knee, you attack the knee. Simple as that. Every wrestler knows the risk of coming into a match injured, but it's a risk you take to move up the ladder for a shot at the gold and more money. * TAG * Frank hoists Mann up on his shoulders, their backs facing the corner as the Pyscho Gremlin scales to the top. But just as Frankie leaps to complete the top rope bulldog, Logan lunges forward and surprises the Man of Tomorrow with the Owen Hart special...VICTORY ROLL! * BOOM * The sound of Frankie's body hitting the mat reverberates throughout the Staples Center as Arn Anderson counts... ONE... TWO... THREE! "YEEEEE-- OOOOOOOOOOOOOH!" NO! Arn pops up signaling two. What results next is a Soonerline so powerful Mann 360s in the air! Frank follows up with a belly-to-belly suplex into a REAR-NAKED CHOKE! VENTURA Now wouldn't this be a tragedy, if Logan lost his ability to sing? At least it would deflect the attention from him quitting. COLE He hasn't quit... VENTURA Yet. COLE (CONT'D) ...and he won't. The opportunity to wrestle for the tag team titles at the biggest show of the year against his most hated rivals means too much to him and Synth. Logan turns over on Frank for a quick count of... ONE... TWO... ...before Frank shifts his weight back to the side, allowing Mann to use their momentum to roll to the ropes! But before Logan can reach out to grab the ropes, Frank becomes dead weight and stays on top of him while swiping the arm to keep it away from the ropes. Frank pounds his massive forearm into the back of the head! "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" COLE WHY, DAMNIT, WHY?! The freakoziods suger daddy wails away on the back of the neck with vicious forearm smashes. He drags Logan by the legs to the center of the ring and locks on a CAMEL CLUTCH! "LET'S GO LO-GAN!" *clap*clap*clap*clap*clap* "LET'S GO LO-GAN!" *clap*clap*clap*clap*clap* "LET'S GO LO-GAN!" *clap*clap*clap*clap*clap* COLE You hear the chants of "Let's go Logan" in the background. VENTURA Pretty soon it's gonna be "Let's take Logan to the hospital." LIVE ZERO HOUR STAPLES CENTER LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA COLE We're coming to you live from the Staples Center in L.A. for Zero Hour. Michael Cole and Jesse "The Body" Ventura calling the action from Sofa Central, and you're watching the finals of the 2006 Anderson Cup, with the winner going on to face Sarcastic Simon and Narcissistic Ned at AngleMania V. VENTURA And right now it ain't looking like the Heavenly Rockers will be that team to compete for the tag team championship of the world at AngleMania V, Michael Cole. The Man of Tomorrow sitting down on that camel clutch. Logan Mann's got nowhere to go. He can either quit or suffer a broken neck. Logan makes one last push with Synth and the fans cheering him on. He gets on all fours and, holding onto the legs of Frank, rises to his feet with Frank on his back, and falls straight back with the Man of Tomorrow! The roar of the crowd still buzzing in the background as Logan and Frank slowly get up to their feet and begin throwing haymakers, with Mann getting the best of his bigger and stronger opponent. But Frank reverses his Irish whip, sending Logan running to the ropes where he uses the top rope as a springboard to nail Frank with a reverse crossbody...but Frank catches him and counters with a vertical suplex into a sit-out tombstone piledriver/Steiner Screwdriver/Owen Driver '97, a/k/a 69 DRIVER!!! "OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!" COLE My! Arn Anderson brushes Frank aside and immediately attends to Logan, as does Synth who sees his partner/best friend lying motionless in the ring. Frank keeps trying to pin Logan, just to have Anderson keep pushing him back. Frankie enters the ring to see what's going on. Arn orders both Synth and Frankie out of the ring as EMTs begin making their way from the back. The screen cuts to a wideshot as Frank leans over to share a brief conversation...AND GETS ROLLED UP! ONE... TWO... THREE!!! * DING DING DING * The fans aren't sure what to think at first, then ERUPT as Arn raises the hands of Logan and Synth. Frank gets rough with Arn, backing him into the corner and cussing him out as the Heavenly Rockers embrace. Frankie restrains his brother while getting his words in as well. The Sooner Bruisers leave the area in disgust. VENTURA What the hell just happened?! COLE Loga Mann was playing possum! He suckered in Frank. VENTURA What kind of a dirty tatic is that? Pretending your seriously injured just to get the 1-2-3? COLE He IS injured, but I can only assume he hammed it up at the end. VENTURA Well, of course he hammed it up at the end. He played with everybody's emotions, including mine. I thought the man was hurt. Now that I've had sometime to reflect on it, yeah, it was rather clever. I mean, it doesn't take too much to fool those two Okies. But Mann still played with people's emotions. In fact, since I'm supposed to interview the winners I'll gonna go ask him about it right now. The Coach and Caboose will be coming back to join you for commentary... COLE Don't remind me. VENTURA (CONT'D) ...so until next time, it's been [i]your[/i] pleasure, Michael Cole.
