Mr. Scott Hall
w/Susannah Cecily Helmsley, Terry Taylor and Todd
vs.
Badd Boy Derrick Stardom
w/Heart Attack

The Match:
Mr. Scott Hall is up in the ring already. He changes from his good shoes to his wrestling boots and removes his gear. Susannah stands at ringside with her laptop computer.

Badd Boy Derrick Stardom is announced. 'Cult of Personality' by Living Colour begins to blast from the speakers. The fans all rise up, holding up signs and posters, booing Stardom's music.

Tiny lights fall from the ceiling onto the walkway and into the ring. A white light strobes on behind the curtains, showing the silouhette of two figures on each other's arms.

The lights comes up to a full, blinding intensity... and the curtains blast open, standing almost straight out! Derrick Stardom and Heart Attack come from the back on each others arms. Stardom is decked out in his black tuxedo jacket and black full-length wrestling tights. He has white boots and white gloves. Heart Attack is in a black mini-dress with a black leather jacket over it.

They strut down to ringside and get up onto the apron. Heart Attack holds the ropes open as Derrick Stardom leaps in and spins around, showing off to the fans. Stardom then opens the ropes and let's Heart Attack strut in, to the cheers of the fans.

Heart Attack walks up to Derrick and puts her hand on his chest. She runs it down the front of him and takes his tights in her hand. She pulls away slightly and glances down lustfully at him. He smiles confidently, then pulls her in for a tight embrace.

Just then, the Ultimate Warrior, Brutus Beefcake, Rocky Maivia and Ahmed Johnson come down the aisle! Brutus has his sheers with him and Ahmed is carrying his 2 x 4.

JR: Stardom's got back-up whether he WANTS IT or NOT!

Stardom then leads Heart Attack from the ring near the announcer's table, then slides back in, throwing off his gear and getting ready. Heart Attack walks over and thanks the Warrior and his group before returning to Stardom's corner.

The bell sounds...

Roxanne: We're underway!

Hall rushes at Stardom and floors him with a clothesline! Stardom, on the mat, dives into Hall's legs and tackles him down. Scott struggles to get up and is assisted with multiple knee lifts!

Hall then kicks at Stardom, and sends him for the ride into the corner! He charges in and SHOULDERBLOCKS the Badd Boy in the corner. Scott then CHOPS Stardom across the chest making a loud WHACK!

Hall then steps aside and lets Stardom out of the corner, where he CLOTHESLINES him from behind!!! Stardom is sent sailing across the ring to the other side's corner. Hall comes charging in at him again...

STARDOM GETS HIS FOOT UP!!! Hall is caught just under the chin with the boot and he falls backwards. Stardom backs up the ropes into the corner... FLYING AXEHANDLE!!! Hall stumbles some more.... then is taken head-first... in a DROP TOE HOLD!!! Hall's head snaps back awkwardly.

JR: Roxanne, what do you think so far?

Roxanne: The longer it goes, the more it's in Stardom's favor. Hall needs to unload with his big moves from the ropes and end it quick.... but it WON'T happen! Stardom WILL win!! I just KNOW it!

Stardom pulls up Hall with a twisting head vise. Derrick turns Hall's neck back and to the shoulder. He pulls Hall up and turns him to face him... and KNEELIFTS him in the face, snapping the head back some more! Hall is shot up to full height... where he is CLOTHESLINES back into the CORNER!!

JR: Stardom seems to be working on the neck!

Roxanne: Of COURSE! The STARFALL is his move!

Hall is leaning in the corner. Stardom is on the opposite side... and he runs in.... DROPKICK....HALL MOVES!! Stardom's legs hit the turnbuckles and he falls back on his shoulders. Hall stomps him down... then yanks him up into a GUTWRENCH suplex...

Stardom flips up and over Hall's shoulders and LANDS ON HIS FEET!! Hall turns... and is RAKED in the eyes!!! Hall falls foward, clutching at his face. Stardom pulls his head in.... TO A PILEDRIVER!!! THE FANS REACT!!!

JR: AN AWESOME PILEDRIVER!!! The damage to Hall's neck must be INCREDIBLE!!!

Roxanne: Stardom is wrestling smart... Hall is wrestling LUCKY!

The Badd Boy looks around at the fans... then down at Heart Attack. He winks at her. Hall starts to get up... and Stardom leans over and PUNCHES him in the back of the neck.

Roxanne: Derrick is wrestling... MAKING things happen. Hall seems to be taking it as it comes to him. I've trained wrestlers, J.R.... you HAVE to MAKE things happen!

JR: Absolutely! And you've trained CHAMPIONS!

Stardom climbs up to the top rope. The fans rise up instinctively, ready to see the risky move. Stardom holds his arms up in the air, show-boating....

JR: The STARFALL!!!

Roxanne: Now THIS will hurt the neck....

Stardom leaps....
