By total and complete
coincidence, in this moment of inaction during the match as the doc lay outside
the ring. SHOW camera crews cut to the I3TA Locker Room.
Ms. C: Did you just hear what Harry Nabisco said?
Whitey: No. Actually I, myself, was dozing off while dreaming of parrots
and pirates and a fat guy running a computer lab.
Bubba: He said that if we interfere, the doc is DQed, but retains. What
a quagmire!
Whitey: So?
Ms. C: So get your butt out there right now!
Back at the ring…
Tony: And Chevalier will not accept a count-out. He slides out of the
ring to pick the Doc up and take him back in.
Harry: Let him rest. The man looked comfortable to me.
Tony: Well he’s still resting, now just in the ring. Chevalier with a
standard cover.
1… 2… The doc gets a
shoulder up by instinct alone.
Tony: Its not over yet.
Harry: See! You need to give the doc more credit than you do.
Tony: We’ll see how much he deserves.
Chevalier picks the doc up.
Harry: No… he isn’t… isn’t he?!
Tony: I think he is!
Drew: Is? Is what?
Chevy winds his fist back…
Tony: IT’S THE MAILED FIST OF THE JUST!!!
A huge crowd pop explodes.
You get those huge crowd pops when two things happen during a match: when you do
a finisher… and when someone runs out. Lets just say this pop is doubly loud.
Tony: Chevalier is going down for a pin…
Harry: ITS WHITELIGHT! And Baby Bubba!!!
They charge at the ring,
running down the ramp faster than all heck.
Tony: DAMN! No! NO! Whitelight slides in! The ref is counting! 1… 2…
AGH! He pulls him off!
As Whitey tosses Al Racino
aside, Bubba Climbs in too.
Harry: He’s getting ready to do the Bubba Cutter on Chevalier!
Tony: Whitelight is face to face with Al… he’s pushing him!
Harry: DQ! DQ! You’ve got to disqualify the doc! That way he retains his
title!
Tony: Al is waiving his arm… put not for the bell… he’s calling for
security!
Harry: Security?! Forget Security! This match is over!
Tony: It’s not over until Al Racino calls for the bell… and he hasn’t!
The doc lay on the ground.
Whitey is pushing Al around while Bubba and Chevalier exchange a few blows.
Tony: You had to know this was coming! The doc was bound to do this! I can’t
believe it, but for a minute there I thought he just may play this one fair. He
had those good moves. The suplexes… the armdrags… the submission. I thought
some talent and skill would peek through… but he’s proving what we all know
about him. He can’t play by the rules!
Harry: RULES?! Al Racino isn’t following the rules either! He’s supposed
to call a DQ to end this thing! That’s what the rules say! He’s protecting
Chevalier… so that Chevalier can win the Dedication Title! But he’s not
supposed to! He’s supposed to call the match as he sees it.
Tony: He’s trying to be fair! He’s trying to get Whitelight and Bubba
out of here so that Chevalier has a fair chance. He’s doing the right thing.
Harry: Damn the right thing. This match should be over and you know it!
Tony: And now security has flooded the ring… still no bell… Whitelight
and Bubba are being outnumbered. Those two are being taken to the back,
banished from ringside. Now lets get this match back on track!!
Harry: Its no fair! They’re all in it together. Those security guys are
all Al’s friends from when he used to work with them… and now Al gets his money
from Chevalier. Look who’s cheating now Tony… its Al, so that Chevalier can get
that belt!
Drew: Wait… so you’re telling me this guy got FIRED because he
was a poor security head? And then… after that… Chevalier hired
him to work for him?!
Tony: Yep.
Drew: That doesn’t make any sense! He got fired for being no good! Why
would someone else hire him to do what he just got fired for being horrible
at?!
Harry: I’m sure there is an explanation in there somewhere.
Tony: And now the ring is clear… those lackeys of Dr. Abortion are
gone… and this match can get back to how it should be. Al did the right thing…
he never called the bell… he’s giving Chevalier a fighting chance… and that’s
all any man deserves.
Harry: BAH!
Drew: No. Really. Don’t dodge my questions. And why would you hire him
to be the ref in a match that was bound to have interference if he was no good
as a security guard?
Tony: Chevalier is going to go for it again… another Mailed Fist of the
Just. Can anyone take two of them?
Chevy swings, the doc
ducks.
Drew: He’s had a lot of time to recover. But I’m surprised to see him
back up.
Tony: Dr. A swings to the side… one arm around Chevy’s neck and he
hooks his leg in front… falling forward… Front Russian Leg Sweep! But Chevalier
gets up quickly. He just won’t stay down. Now the doc and Chevalier hook up
again. Their fingers are intertwined. Each man, just trying to get over the other
Drew: Say, if that Chevalier is such a great guy, why did he hit the
other guy with a closed fist a minute ago? Isn’t that illegal?
Harry: My point exactly.
Tony: Knee to the waist of Chevalier by the bad doc… and let me say,
I’m giving him the benefit of the doubt by saying “waist.” It seemed to be a
significant number of inches lower.
The Doc goes behind. He
hooks up an abdominal stretch.
Tony: He’s trying to put the pain to Chevalier now. He’s really pulling
on those abdomen muscles. Tighter… tighter…
Harry: I just don’t think Chevalier will be able to break free.
Tony: But he won’t give up either! When was the last time you saw
Chevalier tap out? It’s a thing he just wouldn’t do… especially not to Dr. A!
There is more on the line here than the match and a belt Harry. There's pride.
There’s integrity. There’s payback.
Drew: Man, how cheesily scripted and clichéd. You guys really need some
new writers.
Tony: Dr. A falls backwards from the stretch and rolls to the side,
pinning Chevalier’s shoulders to the mat… crucifix cradle… and Al Racino goes
down… 1… 2… Kickout by Chevalier! Dr. Abortion just couldn’t hold it.
The doc stands up with hate
on his eyes. He immediately kicks Chevy, who is getting up, in the spine.
Tony: What a cowardly attack there!
Harry: But nothing in the rules books against it, Tony.
Tony: Now he’s going for a choke… a damn choke!
Harry: That doesn’t look like a choke to me… it looks like an… uhh…
sleeper hold. Check the books, that’s a sleeper all right. One of those
modified, Japanese-Mexican special fancy sleepers.
Drew: Actually, looks like a pretty blatant choke.
Tony: He’s trying to suck every bit of breath out of Chevalier’s lungs.
Looks like Al is telling him to release it… he’s pulling on the doc’s arms.
Harry: Well, I don’t see why the doc would ever stop. Al has already
shown that he refuses to make this a DQ match.
Tony: That’s right! There will be an undisputed winner! This thing will
go to pinfall or submission! That is the only ending anyone should accept.
Harry: Hey, what about that ending like on Tuesday… when that other ref
came in during the tag match between Chevalier, SPX, Natch and MMX?
Tony: What about it?
Harry: Will we see another referee? Maybe SPX! Remember, Bez left him
off the card!
Tony: I wouldn’t think so… and the doc mercifully releases.
Though I’m sure he has other reasons because he has no mercy.
Drew: Arms got tired, probably.
With the release, Chevalier’s
upper half falls over.
Tony: Wait… wait… is Chevalier out?
Harry: I can’t tell. It was a pretty long cho- err… Sleeper Hold.
The doc looks at Chevy… he
looks at the turnbuckle…
Tony: Dr. Abortion is climbing the ropes… what's he going to do?
Harry: It’s a Moonsault! He’s going to do a moonsault!
Tony: But will he hit or miss? It’s a high-risk maneuver… not the doc’s
specialty.
Drew: Chevalier… he’s just too limp. He’s got to be
faking it!
Tony: And here the doc goes… will Chevy get a knee up?
The jump…
