His partner, hailing from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan...KENNNNNNNNNNNN PANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNTERAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA![/i] COLE And what a reaction from the crowd here in Toronto! The Canadians pose on the buckles to a big pop, then jump down as the referee calls for the bell. *DING DING DING* COACH You know, Cole, the thought just occured to me, why wasn't the Cuban Wall selected to compete for the Cuban side? COLE I would presume that the countries preferred to choose people of high character as well as great wrestlers. COACH So that's more important than winning? I think Wall would have been a great representative for the Cuban team! Concepcion and Strutter meet in mid-ring, and Concepcion sticks his hand out for a handshake. When Strutter goes to accept, however, Concepcion grabs the hand and slaps Strutter across the face! The crowd boos mightily. COACH Hey! COLE Well, maybe I spoke too soon! Strutter wipes his face as Concepcion gloats, then when he turns around, Strutter hits him with a dropkick! Strutter then picks Concepcion up and whips him into the ropes, then backs into the ropes himself, coming off with a spinning wheel kick! Strutter then tags in Pantera, and Concepcion backs off. COLE Great speed and agility on the part of Felix Strutter, and now the power man, Ken Pantera in there! Concepcion gets up to his knees and sticks his hand out for another handshake. COLE Yeah, like that'll work again! The crowd reacts negatively, but Pantera motions for them to calm down, then asks Concepcion to stand up. Concepcion stands, and Pantera sticks his hand out. COLE Well, wait a minute here! COACH You know, these guys are impressive athletes, but they're not too bright, are they? Concepcion looks at Pantera for a minute, then grabs the hand...and Pantera squeezes, prompting a yell from Concepcion, who almost immediately drops back down to his knees! COACH ...ok, I stand corrected. Pantera then brings Concepcion's hand to the mat, and stomps it! He then whips Concepcion to the ropes, and catches him on the rebound with a BIG clothesline! Concepcion quickly scoots to his corner, and tags in Santiago, who slowly steps into the ring. COLE Looks like we're going to have a power matchup right now! Santiago gets in the face of Pantera. COACH The big man not intimidated by the Canadians! The two men jaw at each other, then Santiago bumps Pantera back with his chest. Pantera approaches once again, and gets shoved off. Pantera shoves back, then Santiago rakes the eyes. Pantera is sent into the ropes, but ducks a clothesline and delivers one of his own! Santiago gets up, and Pantera scoops him up for a slam, turning around to show the crowd from all angles, then plants him in the middle of the ring! Concepcion comes in, but Pantera catches him, pressing him up into the air, and letting him drop right onto his partner! Pantera then shoves Concepcion off and goes for a cover... 1... 2... Kickout! Pantera tags Strutter back in, and slingshots him inside, with Strutter flipping over the ropes and catching Santiago in a SPINNING HURRICANRANA~! COACH WOW! COLE More great agility shown by "After Hours" Felix Strutter! The Cubans retreat to their corner, as the crowd cheers. COLE And so far, it's been all Canada in this one! The Cubans confer, and Concepcion steps back inside. He quickly goes for a right hand, but Pantera blocks and starts hammering away, then lifts him up in a PRESS SLAM~! and tosses him to the mat like yesterday's garbage! Cover... 1... 2... Kickout! Pantera wrings the arm of Concepcion, then tags Strutter back in. Strutter goes to the top, and comes down with a chop to the joint! Strutter then wrings the arm himself and fires off more chops. COLE Felix Strutter, from nearby Thunder Bay, hammering away on Carlos Concepcion of Havana! Strutter hooks Concepcion, and delivers a snap suplex! Cover... 1... 2... Kickout! Pantera is tagged back in, and stalks Concepcion into a corner. Santiago jumps in and hammers Pantera from behind, then the Cubans whip Pantera across the ring, but Pantera bounces out and scores with a double clothesline! Santiago rolls back out, and Pantera delivers a side slam to Concepcion, then tags Strutter, who springs in with a guillotine legdrop! Cover... 1... 2... Kickout! Concepcion takes a second to regroup, then goes for a tieup. Strutter grabs a side headlock, then Concepcion pushes him off into the ropes, then drops down, and after Strutter hops over, he catches a knee to the lower back from Santiago on the outside! COLE Nice move by Santiago, and the Cubans may have just caught their first big break of this match! Concepcion drops down and puts on a chokehold, breaking at the referee's four-count. Santiago then tags in, and lifts Strutter in a slam position, carrying him around the ring, before performing a SHOULDERBREAKER~! COLE One of the favorite moves of Santiago, we're told, will it be enough? 1... 2... Kickout! COACH Not yet! Santiago whips Strutter into the ropes, but Strutter ducks a clothesline and hooks a crucifix! 1... 2... Kickout! Santiago clotheslines Strutter down, then tags Concepcion back in. Concepcion whips Strutter into the corner, but eats feet on a charge! Santiago steps into the ring, distracting the referee as Strutter makes the tag! COLE Tag made, but no referee! The referee turns around and forces Pantera out, as Concepcion holds Strutter up for a BIG BOOT~! from Santiago! COACH It's not a Cuban Wall-esque boot, but it'll do! Cover... 1... 2... Kickout! COLE Two-count only! COACH I'll tell you what, Cole, the Cubans really using their heads in there, we could be on our way to an upset! Concepcion picks up Strutter, who hammers to the midsection, then goes to the ropes for another crucifix...but Concepcion drops back to the mat! Concepcion arrogantly lays back... 1... 2... NO! Shoulder up! COLE And this crowd getting behind the Canadians! Santiago tags in once again, and hops up to the second rope. He takes time to play to the crowd, which meets him with boos, then jumps off...and is met with a foot to the face! COLE Santiago took too much time, and now Strutter needs to tag! Strutter pulls himself across the ring, and makes the tag! COLE And the referee saw that one, and Pantera in there now! Pantera delivers a clothesline to Concepcion! Then one to Santiago! Pantera shouts out to the Toronto crowd, then delivers a running powerslam to Concepcion, then sets up Sanitago, lifting him for a vertical suplex, and bringing him down into a URINAGE~! COLE That's the finishing move of Ken Pantera! Here's the cover... 1... 2... NO! Concepcion saves! Pantera gets up and hammers on Concepcion, as Strutter knocks Santiago to the floor with a baseball slide! Pantera whips Concepcion hard into a corner, and Strutter hits a boot to the gut, and plants him with the ANGEL'S WINGS~!!! COLE He calls that the Thunder Bay Throttle, and that'll do it! 1... 2... 3!!! *DING DING DING* The crowd EXPLODES. COLE And Canada advances again!
