Tony: Kickout by the
doctor. But did you see that?… a two count this early in the match.
Drew: Can you imagine how
embarrassing it would be to lose the match that quickly?
Tony: It couldn’t happen
to a more deserving guy than the doc. After all his talk, all his running of
the mouth – for him to be defeated so early would have a certain sense of
justice here. And that’s all Chevalier is looking for in this match – justice.
Harry: Tony, you’re so
biased towards Chevalier. You need to be a bit more open-minded. Like me!
Tony: Ha! That will be
the day, Harry.
Dr.
Abortion has picked himself up and has charged at Chevalier again. He goes for
a clothesline that Chevy easily ducks. The doc tries to turn around in
mid-step, not wanting to bounce off the ropes. But as he does so Chevy grabs a
hold of his arms and sends him over to a turnbuckle in an Irish whip.
Tony: The doc to the
turnbuckle. His back hits the corner and he looks okay. The doc bounces off the
ropes near him and heads back at Chevs again… another clothesline?
That’s
what Chevalier expects, and ducks, But the doc goes for a baseball slide and
reaches up at Chevy’s midsection himself. He pulls himself down and lifts himself
above Chevalier, pinning his shoulders to the mat.
He
manages a single count as Al Racino goes down. The doc picks himself up and
goes eye to eye with Al.
Tony: I bet he’s
complaining about the count. It looked perfectly normal to me.
Drew: They always
complain the count is too slow.
What Dr. A is really saying: Hey man, you were awesome in Scarface.
Al: I think you are thinking
about someone else, doc.
The
doc turns around and delivers an unethical but reasonably legal kick to
Chevalier while he is picking himself up. The doc stomps a little bit more as
Al pats his shoulders and pulls him back to stop.
Tony: And face to face
again, these two men are having some choice words.
Harry: The doc needs to be
calm down, he doesn’t want to lose the match like this.
Dr.
A: And in Scent
of a Woman, your chemistry with Chris O’Donnell was great. I always forget…
is he Robin from Batman or is he the fat kid from Stand by Me?
Al: Knock it off.
Chevalier
had recovered and bounces off the ropes, fainting signs towards a cross body
block. Dr. A notices it and tries to move out of the way, but Chevy stops
immediately, which causes the doc to charge at him.
As
Dr. A runs, Chevy gets him to fall for an armdrag setup. But the doc from DC
unfortunately has an overpowering way with armdrags. He reveres it himself and
delivers an armdrag of his own.
Tony: Oh my! Armdrag
takedown to Chevalier by Dr. Abortion! I can’t even begin to believe how he did
that!
Drew: The guy looks
pumped with ‘roids if you ask me.
Harry: Those rumors are
totally false. I think.
Tony: And the doc has not
released Chevalier’s arm since the armdrag takedown. Now he’s holding it in an armbar.
Nice technique by Dr. Abortion, I’ve got to give him that. When he actually
does his job with wrestling moves, the man isn’t half bad.
Harry: My scouting report
from the CRF, not that anyone ever watched CRF, said that the doc was quite a
mat technician and submission specialist. Its clear the man has wrestling
talent.
Tony: But is it good
enough to beat Chevalier? When it comes right down to it – Chevalier has more
experience, more ability. My question is – if the doc is as good as you imply,
why cheat?
Harry: Insurance, Tony.
Drew: Say, can I get a
word in.
Harry: No. You’re probably
just going to steal any funny lines I can think of because you’re the comedian.
Drew: I’m drawing a
blank, actually.
The
doc releases the armbar, after becoming certain Chevalier had no signs of
giving up. That doesn’t stop him from working on Chevy’s arm though.
Tony: A boot to the
shoulder by the doc. He’s picked a body part and is working on it.
Harry: Sounds like a wise wrestling
strategy so far, huh Tony?
Tony: I’ll give you this,
at least the doc has kept the match clean so far. But it’s still early.
Anything can happen.
Chevalier
does the one thing he can to escape the kicks. He rolls out of the ring to give
his arm a short time to rest.
Harry: He’s chicken!
Chevalier is scared of the doc!
Tony: Come now, he’s
doing what any man would do. And the ref is being fair about it. Look. He’s
starting the count.
Al
Racino has reached about two.
Drew: Can I use this
moment of dormant time to plug my show?
Tony: Not really. Well. I
guess this match has settled down from its initial pace.
Harry: It certainly has.
But Chevs is on coming in again.
The
doc goes charging after Chevalier who begins to come back in the ring. Just as
the doc is ready to jump on him, Chevy lets go and drops down. Dr. A throws
himself over the ropes.
Drew: OH! I think that
that doctor guy just ruined his own gameplan! …Buzz Beer.
Harry: What was that at
the end?
Drew: Nothing.
Tony: Now Chevalier is
picking up the doc and sliding him in under the bottom rope.
Chevalier
goes up two steps by the corner and puts himself through the ropes. As the doc
begins to lift himself, Chevalier goes for a leg drop. Which, by the way, is much
more devastating when Hulk Hogan does it.
Drew: Who doesn’t love
Leg Drops?
Dr.
Abortion is on his back, Chevy comes over and holds on the doc’s right leg,
steps between with one foot to the side of the doc’s hip. He bends Dr. A’s leg
so his shin lies across Chevy’s thigh. Chevalier turns the doc over onto his
stomach, reaches forward and applies a crossface hold.
Tony: There is an STF by
Chevalier. This man knows more submission holds than anyone in the SHOW,
clearly.
Harry: Maybe more than
anyone in the whole of Wrassle. But numbers mean nothing in the end… its about
the win.
Drew: That guy’s
screaming in pain!
Dr.
Abortion’s mouth is open, making quite audible his pain. He tries to pull
forward. He tries to reach the ropes. Slowly, he gains another inch. Will he
gain another?
Tony: Dr. Abortion
struggling for those ropes. They are within inches, but to the doc they might
as well be miles away if he can’t reach them. Will he get there?
One
of the doc’s hands, which was clenched, opens up. His hand vibrates. Pain
surges through his nerves. Is he ready to tap?
Tony: He’s got it! Dr.
Abortion has grabbed a rope!
Chevalier,
the gentleman he is, immediately releases the hold when realizing the doc reach
the ropes.
Tony: I can’t believe he
did it. So much is on the line. The doc refuses to surrender… for now.
Harry: What's that
supposed to mean?
Drew: He means he hasn’t
quit… yet!
Dr.
A grabs onto the next rope, then the third one. He pulls himself up, Chevalier
giving the time to let him reach his feet.
Tony: And the doc is up,
but is he in the mood to keep fighting?
The
two step forward and hook up again, both men grabbing each other’s shoulder’s.
Pushing and maneuvering, both try to get the essential leverage to move on.
Dr.
Abortion slips. Perhaps fatigue… perhaps sweat.
Tony: Takeover… and
Chevalier sends Dr. Abortion back to his familiar friend… the mat! This time face
first!
Drew: That doc guy is
lying on his stomach, clenching it.
Harry: It’s probably just
an oversell. He’s giving Chevy false confidence.
Tony: Sure Harry… sure.
Chevy gets up to both of his feet before grabbing
on the doc’s left ankle. He pushes it forward so that the knee is bent and
twists the doc’s ankle.
The doc screams in pain again.
Tony: Reverse Ankle Lock
by Chevalier. There are a million variations, but each just as effective.
Simple but devastating.
Harry: Can the doc reach the ropes
again?
In
a burst of power, Dr. A lifts himself, as doing a pushup, only with a burning
sensation in his ankle and entire calf.
Drew: He’s almost got the
ropes! Let me tell you, I got to those ropes as quick as hell when Kane entered
the Royal Rumble with me in it…
The
effort is not enough. Chevalier temporarily releases the reverse ankle lock. He
does this only to pull on the doc’s leg, dragging his entire body back. Dr.
Abortion’s upper torso is now in the dead center of the ring. The reverse ankle
lock is reapplied. But now Chevalier twists the other way.
Baby
Bubba, whom you may have forgotten had come out with the doc, stands nervously
where the entrance ramp joins ringside…
