Badd Boy Derrick Stardom
w/Heart Attack
vs.
Mr. Flawless
w/Todd Pettingill & Terry TaylorThe Match:
'Cult of Personality' by Living Colour starts to play from the speakers. The fans rise up out of their seats, mostly booing and hissing.Small beams of light fall on the walkway and the ceiling as if they were stars. From behind the curtains, a bright light strobes up to full intensity... almost BLINDING! Derrick and Heart Attack are silouhetted behind the curtains as the lights blasts forth.
Then a rush of air BREAKS the curtains out almost on end! Stardom and Heart Attack step through, on each others arm. The fans cheer for Heart Attack and she waves to them. Stardom tilts his head up with a cocky smile. He stops in front of a young woman and looks into her eyes. She lights up! But then he turns away, shaking his head, snickering.
Stardom leads Heart Attack up into the ring. She removes his sunglasses carefully, then peels off his tuxedo jacket. She holds on to his wrestling tights as she pulls away slightly, looking down at him lustfully. Stardom smiles at her, and she releases his tights and walks to the outside.
Stardom leans back into the corner and waits.
Mr. Flawless is then introduced. He comes out, lost in his own world, staring up at the ceiling. He rolls into the ring and immediately goes after Stardom...
He nails the Badd Boy with a double-axehandle... INTO A DROP DDT!! Flawless stands up... pulls up a fist... and drops down... STARDOM ROLLS ASIDE!!
The Badd Boy gets over Flawless... hooks him in a front face-lock.. SNAP SUPLEX!! Stardom grabs one of Flawless' legs, spins him around on his back... then HAMSTRING PULLS HIM!!!
JR: This should be a close bout! Both men are strong, agile, and have some excellent skills on the mat.
Vincer: Stardom is strong, my ribs can attest to that. But I've read the report on Flawless. Isn't he married?
Stardom dives at Flawless... FOREARM SMASH!!! Flawless falls backwards and Stardom follows him in.
Just then, Brutus Beefcake and the Ultimate Warrior come down the aisle! Brutus is clipping with his hedgeclippers and the Warrior growls as he sees a member of Taylor Tech. They reach ringside and stand.
Flawless GOUGES Stardom's eyes. As the Badd Boy blindly fights back, Flawless hits a SIDE RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP!!!
JR: Nicely executed!!!
Vincer: What is that move called?
JR: A side-Russian leg sweep!
Flawless leans over at Stardom... and starts to move toward his ear! The fans stand up to see! He moves in at Stardom's ear... and the BADD BOY SNAPS!! Stardom kips up to his feet angrily... and KNEE LIFTS Flawless in the chest!! He throws him to the ropes... DROP TOE HOLD!!! Stardom stands up and waits on Flawless... HEADSCISSORS TAKE DOWN!!!! Stardom winks out at Heart Attack after that move. She applauds her man.
Stardom runs at Flawless when he gets up... RUNNING KNEE LIFT!!! Flawless is knocked back into the ropes... and Stardom runs at him again... HIGH-KNEE LIFT!!!
JR: I think Flawless... MADE HIM MAD!!
Stardom leaps up and plants both feet in Flawless' mid-section... MONKEY FLIP SUPLEX!!! Stardom pops back up to his feet and immediately goes to the corner... FLYING AXEHANDLE!!!
Stardom pulls up Flawless.... and RAKES HIS EYES! He then thrusts him down for a PILEDRIVER! He pumps... but can't lift him up as Flawless hooks the tights. Stardom KNEELIFTS him instead, straightening him up... into a CLOTHESLINE!!
The Badd Boy them throws Flawless to the ropes... runs to the opposite side and springboards off.... CROSS BODY... NO! Flawless catches him... INTO A BELLY TO BELLY SUPLEX!!!
Flawless makes a move to bite his ear again... and Stardom starts firing back with punches in his face!!! Stardom knocks Flawless off of him and kips up to his feet. He drops an ELBOW on the back of his head... then hits the ropes... ABDOMINAL SPLASH!!!
JR: Folks... WE GOTTA GO TO A COMMERCIAL BREAK! STAY WITH US!!!
