the Smoking Gunns
vs.
Demolition
w/Jim Cornette
The Match:
BANG! The Smoking Gunn's song comes from the speakers. The fans stand up and cheer. Billy and Bart come from the back, wearing their long white trenchcoats and big white cowboy hats. They quickly get to the ring and fire off their guns up into the air, filling the ring with smoke.Fog rolls down the aisle way, and down the aisle marchs Demolition, they are dressed in their full leather clothing, they glare and swat at the fans on their way to ringside. Where they both take off their masks and stick their painted tounges out at the crowd.
Jim Cornette comes down with them. He is carrying his tennis raquet and is sporting a new... or rather DIFFERENT suit.
JR: I'm no expert on fashion or style... but that has to be James E's ugliest suit yet!
They then enter the ring. Ax grabs Smash's head and they headbutt each other and laugh.
Double J: Look at these idiots... and there's Jim Cornette, leading them down! The LEAD idiot!
Cornette gets into the ring and has a quick talk with Demolition... the points at the Gunns! Smash rushes in at Bart...and shoulderblocks him down!!! Ax and Billy get into their corners and Jim Cornette dashes to safety.
Smash stomps Bart down into the canvas... then allows him to get up... INTO A BODYSLAM!!! Smash lifts the man up and stuns him with a headbutt... then whips him into Ax's corner.
Smash tags in Ax... but both men stay in... DOUBLE VERTICAL SUPLEX!!
Double J: That was a good move. I never said Demolition wasn't a good team. They're just a couple of donkeys with the lead jackass giving orders, is all.
Smash leaves as Bart starts hammering back at Ax. The big man ignores the cowboy's offense... and simply slams him down onto the mat. Bart kips back up to his feet... and Ax dives in... DOUBLE LEG TAKEDOWN!
Ax gets over top of Gunn and starts hammering him in the face repeatedly. Referee Mitzy Johnson starts a five count and breaks Ax off. Ax lifts him up...and whips him to Smash's corner hard. Smash holds Gunn there.
Ax turns and spits at Billy then backs away. Billy comes in, fired up.
Cornette: HEY! He's not LEGAL!!!!! REFEREE!!!
Johnson turns and pushes Billy back to his corner. Meanwhile, Demolition goes to work on Bart... DOUBLE TEAMING!!! Smash chokes Bart out while Ax hammers him in the stomach.. then lifts him up by the legs as Smash holds the choke.
The ref turns around after putting Billy out.. but not in time to see Smash's illegal tactics. Smash tags in legally. Both he and Ax lift Bart up ... GORILLA PRESS..... DROPPED ACROSS THE TOP ROPE!!! Bart bounces back up in the air... and TUMBLES TO THE OUTSIDE TO THE FLOOR!!! The fans GASP!
The referee warns Smash as Ax gets out. Smash moves past her and starts to climb out.
JR: The Demos are HOT! Double J... this weekend on Superstars Revenge... it's you against Vader! Do you accept his stipulation for a Thunderdome Cage Match?
Double J: You're DAMN RIGHT I'm gonna accept! Chamber of Horrors, Thunderdome cage... all that means is that Vader isn't gonna have any help when I'm beating him all over the ring!
Smash grabs Bart... and drives his head into the steel barricade. The ref is counting... 3.... 4.....
Smash sends Bart for the ride..... WHIPPED TO THE RINGPOST!!! 5.... 6.... 7....
Smash rolls Bart into the ring and follows him in. Smash tags Ax... then goes to the top rope. Ax lifts up Bart.... GORILLA PRESS..... SMASH LEAPS.... AND SPLASHES BART ON THE WAY DOWN!!!!
JR: IT'S CALLED THE WRECKER... AND THEY JUST HIT IT BIG TIME!!!
