THE MAIN EVENT
INTERCONTINENTAL TITLE BOUT
Double J, Jeff Jarrett
w/the Roadie
vs.
JoBo
w/ZoBo

The Match:
JoBo and ZoBo come down calmly to the ring. The fans give a negative reaction to JoBo, but suprisingly, he has some fans out there. They walk into the ring where ZoBo goes over some last minute things with him, and then he leaves.

Double J's country theme plays... and the fans cheer! They extend their hands out into the runway as Double J... and the ROADIE come down the aisle! Double J slaps the fans hands... but one of the fans...

THROWS A FIRE TAB AT JARRETT! It blasts just past his head and the heat causes him to drop down on the mat, clutching at his face! The Road Warriors come charging over... and some laughing is heard! Todd! Todd Pettingill! He goes charging back through the fans, disappearing in the sea of people. The Roadie helps up Double J, who seems that he will be alright. They head to the ring...

King Kong Bundy, the referee, checks on Jarrett and Double J wants the match to go on. Bundy calls for the bell.

Jarrett runs at JoBo... and FLOORS him with a DROPKICK!!! Double J may have been playing possum a bit as he is a house on fire! He drops an elbow on JoBo's leg... then stands and kicks it! JoBo begins to rise up... and Double J takes one of his attacks away by spinning behind him with a hammerlock.

The Road Warriors are about to return to ringside... when Lucifer Graves and Mark Manson come slowly down the aisle. The Road Warriors stand in their way and refuse to let them pass. Manson and Graves just stop halfway down the aisle and watch the match.

In the ring, JoBo throws an elbow backwards into Double J and frees himself from the hammerlock. Double J loses his balance and falls to the mat from the shot... and JoBo SPLASHES 436 POUNDS ON TOP OF HIM!! THE FANS GASP!!!

JR: What must THAT feel like! MY GOD!

JoBo rises up.... lifts up a leg... and DROPS IT.... JARRETT ROLLS ASIDE!! Mean Mark Manson, on the runway, turns and leaves behind the curtains... but Lucifer Graves stays.

Jarrett takes advantage of JoBo hurting his leg with the missed leg drop. He spins on a toe hold, softening the knee a bit... then stands and starts kicking at it. ZoBo pounds on the mat to get JoBo jumpstarted. The Roadie cheers on Jeff.

Jarrett returns to spinning the toe hold on... then releases it... and drops a PUNCH on the leg!!! He stands... HAMSTRING PULL!!!

JR: This is how he won the title over Vader! A SOUND strategy!

Double J... then ELBOW DROPS the knee, and stands up! He spins his hand over his head...

Jeff: HERE WE GO!!!

Double J begins to spin on the Figure Four! JoBo pulls at the ropes... and pulls himself to the outside!!! Double J stands up and the ref puts him back and turns to count at JoBo....1.... 2.... 3.... 4.... 5....

JoBo rolls in and begins to stand. Jarrett... DROPKICKS the leg out from under him and starts the figure four again..... and AGAIN.... JOBO pulls himself to the outside!!!

Bundy yells at JoBo and starts the count again. Double J steps back, motioning for him to get in and continue his 'schooling.' The ref counts.... 1.... 2.... 3... 4... 5...

JoBo rolls back in again and starts to stand... Double J hooks him.... BLACKJACK!!!

JR: HE HIT IT!!! ON THE BIG MAN!!! THE BLACKJACK!!! LORD!!!

Double J again looks out at the fans and calls for the Figure Four....

Jeff: HERE WE GO!!!

Double J goes for it again....
