NO HOLDS BARRED
the Giant
vs.
Psycho Sid
w/Sarah D. and Flash Funk

The Match:
The camera comes up in the ring. Psycho Sid and the Giant pace around each other. On the outside... NO ONE IS THERE FOR THE GIANT! Flash Funk and Sarah D support Psycho Sid. The Road Warriors look on...

The Giant stretches a bit and pulls on the ropes, warming up... then the bell sounds!

The two giants lock up! Sid brings up a kneelift... then brings a heavy forearm smash on the Giant's shoulder region. NO EFFECT!!! The Giant scoops up Sid and effortlessly SLAMS him!

The Giant holds one of Sid's arms and puts his own leg over it. The Giant drops down... but Sid yanks the arm away and the Giant crashes down on the canvas!!! THAT hurt!! The fans cheer!

Sid gets up to his feet and runs at the Giant, who is sitting in pain on the mat. DOUBLE AXEHANDLE!! The Giant almost falls back.. but stays! Sid runs at him again... ANOTHER AXEHANDLE!!! THEN A KICK!! THE GIANT DOESN'T GO DOWN!!!

Booker T comes moving down to the ring, wearing brass knuckles on. The LOD sees him and begins to move around the ring. Booker crouches down just behind Sid on the outside. The Road Warriors run at him.....

Sid continues to bash on the Giant... who finally blasts him away with a knife edge and rises up to full height!

The Road Warriors reach Booker... who quickly turns and jams a punch with the 'knuckles' in Hawk's face! Hawk drops! Animal ducks a punch... but gets caught with a second volley!!!

JR: The Road Warriors are HURT! Booker T is here! But is he here to help the Giant or COST HIM THE MATCH!!??

The Giant thrust kicks Sid, knocking him back. Sid runs back in and punches the Giant, who stands and takes it... NO EFFECT!!! The Giant laughs at Sid, who chuckles back at him. Then Sid gets a look of RAGE on his face! He pulls his fist back and SLAMS it into the Giant's face...

THE GIANT IS KNOCKED DOWN!!! Booker looks ready to jump in. Sid starts stomping on the Giant... runs off the ropes... LEGDROP!!! NO ONE HOME!!!

Booker stops.

JR: If he hits Sid, Sid will win by DQ. It's no holds barred, but you can't bring an ally to help you! I think Booker wants to COST the Giant the match!

Flash helps up the Road Warriors from their assault. Hawk is bleeding in the face... perhaps a broken nose from the brass knuckles. Animal looks okay. He turns and sees Booker, plotting his next move. Animal rushes in.... AND HITS A CLOTHESLINE THAT TURNS BOOKER INSIDE OUT!!! THE PLACE GOES NUTS!

In the ring, Sid and the Giant start brawling! The Giant throws a few punches... Sid forearm bashes.... then DOUBLE AXEHANDLES HIM! The Giant drops to his knees! Hawk, Animal and Flash help get Booker out of there. Security escorts him the rest of the way.

Sid front elbow blocks the Giant, who begins to rise up. Sid stuffs a big boot to the Giant's face.... but again... NO EFFECT!!! The Giant lifts up Sid and plants him with a body slam! The Giant drops all of his weight on Sid and yanks back his head with a camel clutch!!!!

The referee gets into position as Sid calls out in pain! The Giant slips his hands around to the front and starts to CHOKE Sid and STILL pull back on the Camel Clutch!!! The referee asks Sid if he gives up...

NO! Sid doesn't give! The fans begin to stomp their feet! Sid starts to power free! The Giant releases the choke and clenches his hand so that his thumb is extended. He goes for the Asian Spike!

Sid throws his arms back with all his power and BLASTS the Giant off of him!!!

JR: Over 500 pounds! And he just shot him off like he was a child!

Sid and the Giant battle up to their feet again! Sid double punches the Giant in the face. The Giant pulls his hand back... HEART PUNCH!!! Sid clutches his chest... drops to his knees... and falls to the mat. The Giant picks up Sid's legs and begins...

TO SWING HIM AROUND IN THE CENTER OF THE RING!! The Giant swirls Sid around by the legs!!! Sid reaches out....
