JoBo
w/ZoBo
vs.
Chaotic Corey Major
w/Bret HartThe Match:
The camera comes back to the ring. Amidst the flute music, JoBo and ZoBo walk to the ring, very calmly. They enter, where JoBo listens to ZoBo's instructions. ZoBo then leaves.Vincer: JoBo! NOW I remember him! 20 to 1 odds that he would win the Royal Rumble in January. I took someone up on that bet.
JR: Now I understand! You like to GAMBLE on the matches! Did you make a good bet? Or did you bet AGAINST JoBo?
Vincer: Let's just say... I tend to win at these sorts of things.
'A Little Too Loose' by Tripwire starts to play! Spotlights start zipping around the arena's second and third level, searching for Corey Major! The fans rise up with smiles on their faces, again trying to be the first to find him!
JR: This youth... he LOVES to suprise people! He finds a new way to come in each time it seems!
Vincer: Jim Ross... are you a betting man? (slides a hundred dollar bill toward J.R.) One hundred dollars says that Mr. Major comes through the curtains this time.
JR: Corey...? NEVER! He doesn't......
Corey breaks through the curtains, holding aloft his bass guitar! A girl grabs his arm and nearly yanks him over the railing, planting a kiss on his cheek and wrapping her arms around him! He pulls away with a big smile on his face, enjoying it all!
JR: (suprised to see Vincer was right.) Well... I don't...!!!
Vincer turns toward J.R. with a sly smile on his face. Jim Ross starts to fish through his pocket, looking for money. Vincer holds his hand up...
Vincer: Don't worry about it. Next time.... we'll do Double or Nothing!
Jim Ross is speechless.
Corey makes his way down the aisle, letting himself get kissed and hugged by every girl that wants it! He props up his bass at ringside and rolls into the ring.... and throws his jacket off. The girls scream as he flips his hair around and prepares for the match....
The Hitman has followed Corey out, dressed in street clothes, sunglasses and his Calgary Hitmen leather. He nods toward the fans... and doesn't look happy. He gets to Corey's corner and Major sends him a thumbs up. Bret nods back.
JR: Something is eating at the Hitman... and I think I know WHAT!
Sarah: We've got to get him a microphone. I'm sure he has a LOT to say.
JR: He may just wait and say it in the ring... tomorrow night on TNT against Brian Pillman!
The bell sounds. JoBo makes a sweeping motion in at Major with his arms, looking to wrap him up. Corey uses his speed and ducks underneath, coming up with a hammerlock. Major quickly pulls his arm up under JoBo's arm and pulls it out away from his body into an armbar.
Bret looks on at Corey, standing like a statue. Corey looks out at him and Bret claps briefly and urges him on, but then stands stoic again.
Corey slips his arm up under JoBo's shoulder and hooks him in a Million Dollar Dream! S.B. Peterson is shown next to Yokozuna. He jots a few notes down in a pad.
JR: What do you think of Corey Major?
Vincer: An under-dog. He could pay well. But I have nothing riding on this match.
Vincer pulls out a deck of cards from his pocket and begins to lay some of them down on the table. He turns to Heart Attack.
Vincer: Care for a card trick or two?
Heart Attack: Yeah... definitely! (looking eager)
JoBo reaches out for the ropes... but Major holds him in the center of the ring. ZoBo pounds the mat... but Corey yanks on the move hard. JoBo slows down a bit.... and drops to his knees. Corey rides him down.... and forces him down onto the canvas! Major releases the hold and looks down at JoBo.... who is now on the mat.
Corey points to the corner... and begins to climb up.....
