=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= IIWF WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH: =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Rising Sun Revolution vs. Heavy Metal --------------------------------------- [Sparkplug Lee steps into the glare of the spotlight, and raises his microphone.] RA: Ladies and gentlemen, the following tag team contest is scheduled for one fall, and is for the IIWF World Tag Team Championships! Introducing first, the challengers, led to the ring by Robo Stone, hailing from Olympia, Washington, and weighing in at 660lbs, here are Atlas and Apollo Steele... Heeaaaavy Meeeetaaaal! [Big heel pop as "Smells Like Teen Spirit" heralds the arrival of the burly Steele twins. They head down the aisle, ignoring the jeers of the crowd, and the mics on the cameras pick up the maniacal laughter of Robo Stone.] TD: He's still laughing, Steve. SR: He must have caught a glimpse of the Man Of Steel back there. TD: Will you please stop?! RA: And introducing their opponents, hailing from Japan, and weighing in at a combined weight of 570lbs, here are Hiroshi "Daioni" Kasai, and Ryudu "Taisu" Kenjinata. They are the IIWF World Tag Team Champions! They are... Riiissiiiiiing Suuuuun Reeeevoluuuution! [Huge pop as the theme from "Bladerunner" kicks in over the PA and RSR appear at the head of the aisle. Rockets shoot up into the rafters of the arena as they jog to the ring. Heavy Metal bail out of the ring as a wall of flame erupts behind the champions, who raise their arms to the roof and hold their belts aloft. Big pop! However, as RSR give their belts to ringside assistants, Heavy Metal leap through the ropes and jump them from behind. Heel pop! The referee signals for the bell to get things underway.] SR: Robo Stone has his guys well trained, doesn't he? Jump the champs off the bat, work them over, and get the titles! TD: A somewhat unfair strategy, some might say, Steve. SR: This isn't about fair, Dross. This is about gold! [Ryudu and Hiroshi are battered by the Steeles, and backed into opposite corners. Atlas and Apollo attempt to whip the champs into one another in the centre of the ring, but RSR reverse the attempts, sending the Steele twins crashing into one another. Atlas rolls out of the ring, and Ryudu also steps outside, leaving Hiroshi and Apollo to battle it out. Hiroshi drags Apollo to his feet and whips him into the ropes, grabbing him on the rebound and executing a devastating tilt-a-whirl backbreaker. Big pop!] TD: It seems that Robo's game plan might not have been the most effective, Steve. Hey! Look! It's Hellraiser! [Big heel pop as Hellraiser makes his way down to the ring. The big man pulls Ryudu off the ring apron, and immediately attacks him. The crowd go berzerk as Hiroshi turns to help his partner, but is leathered from behind by Atlas, who storms the ring and hits him with a big forearm to the back of the head. Hiroshi goes down, and he is trapped in a side headlock as Apollo gets to his feet and begins stomping away on the trapped Hiroshi. Meanwhile, Hellraiser and Ryudu continue to mix it up, and despite holding his own for a while, Ryudu is soon beaten down to the arena floor by his much bigger adversary.] TD: This was all a set-up! This is disgraceful! Ring the bell, ref! Hey! Here come Domination! [Big pop as Mr. Psycho and Monster sprint down the aisle. Mr. Psycho's head is bandaged, and one of his eyes is patched, but otherwise, both men look to be at full strength. They career into Hellraiser, coming to the aid of the fallen comrade, and whip him into the steel guard rail. Mr. Psycho checks on Ryudu while Monster storms the ring and attacks Heavy Metal, driving them away from Hiroshi. There is another huge heel pop as the Dark Disciples run down the aisle, with Don McQueen following not far behind. Soon, an uncontrollable brawl has broken out at ringside.] TD: This is ridiculous! Gang warfare has overtaken the IIWF, and something has to be done about it! SR: I say it should be encouraged, Dross. Once these teams actually start eliminating one another, we might see some order around here. Although this is much more fun... hey, watch it! [One of the Steele twins narrowly misses the broadcast table as he is shoved from the apron. Within moments, security personnel have descended on the ringside area, along with the Jobber Justice Squad, and order is restored within a couple of hectic minutes. The fans finally begin to settle, and take their seats once more.] TD: It's only a matter of time before somebody is seriously injured in one of these brawls, Steve. SR: Yeah, that would be great! Perhaps one of these moronic fans could get a little cosmetic "surgery" free of charge, courtesy of the Dark Disciples. Those scarred foreheads are going to be the look for 1997, you know. TD: I really don't think so, Steve. Anyhow, I guess that match must have been ruled a no contest, but something must be done to restore a modicum of order in the tag ranks, Steve. SR: The only way to do it will be to lock everybody in their locker rooms before the match starts, Dross, and even that might not work. These guys are determined to kick the snot out of one another, and they're going to do it.
