MR. PERFECT PRE-MATCH COMMENTS
Mr.Perfect stand in front of the camera. A white towel is around his neck and he is chewing a piece of gum. Madusa paces back and forth behind him.
Madusa: OK, it is time to get serious.
Mr.Perfect: Serious? Against the Blizzard? Please, be realistic.
Madusa: Damn it! Never underestimate anyone! You have to concentrate! You can, and WILL, beat that moron, but when you get in the ring be serious!
Mr.Perfect: I know, I know. When I get in that ring it will be all business! Blizzard, it is time to face Perfection. Maybe you can learn something... Then maybe, just maybe, you could actually win a match.
Madusa: And Vader... Mr.Perfect challenges you to a match at Summer Slam. Let's go.
the Blizzard, Adrien Blades
w/Jim Cornette & Vader
vs.
Mr. Perfect
w/Madusa MiceliThe Match:
The Blizzard Adrien Blades is up in the ring, waiting for his opponent. Jim Cornette and Vader are on the outside of the ring.King: Here's the Blizzard! You know, with this challenge laid out by Bobby Heenan, I'm suprised he even SHOWED UP here tonight!
Mr.Perfect and Madusa walk down to the ring arm in arm. As Mr.Perfect walks up the step to the ring he turns to the crowd and tosses them his towel. Then he spits out his gum on the floor. Madusa holds the ropes open by sitting on them. Mr.Perfect nods to her and steps through.
Pillman: And she said she didn't get any respect in the EMPIRE!
Perfect begins circling the Blizzard, smirking at him. The bell sounds, and Perfect makes like he's about to lock-up, but ducks under the Blizzard's arms and kicks him hard in the right knee repeatedly. Blades backs away... charges in... and clotheslines Perfect back a step.
Mr. Perfect dives forward again and hits a EUROPEAN UPPERCUT that staggers the big man down to his knees. Perfect moves around behind the Blizzard...
Jim Cornette: HE'S BEHIND YOU! HE'S BEHIND YOU!
But too late! Perfect hits a drop kick in the small of Blade's back, taking him all the way down. Perfect hits the ropes... ELBOWDROP! Cornette is beside himself! Perfect hits the ropes again... ELBOWDROP!
JR: Perfect is looking good again! I wonder how his leg is coming along.
King: Mr.Perfect's leg is STILL bad, as we saw when he fought Sting! I heard backstage that Sting actually CALLED Mr.Perfect and told him to guard the leg closely tonight! Let's hope he follows Sting's advice!
The camera picks up... S.B. Peterson... Yokozuna... and Monolith watching from the entrance way! Yokozuna is holding a baseball bat. They watch the action...
Perfect pulls up the Blizzard... who grabs a handful of hair and wrenches on Perfect's head. Mr.P brings up a kick hard to the mid-section, then swings around behind and pulls on a hammerlock! Blades moves toward the ropes, but Perfect holds him back.
The Blizzard swings the other way... Perfect HOLDS him! Cornette is FRANTIC! He looks around... then JUMPS UP ON THE APRON!
King: Look at Cornette... and don't adjust your TV's! That IS what he's wearing!
Referee Mitzy Johnson moves over to him and yells for him to get down! Vader, during all this... is grabbing a CHAIR!
S.B. motions to his men... AND THEY'RE OFF! Vader rolls into the ring behind Perfect who is STILL holding the hammerlock, riding the Blizzard down....
Vader WHACKS Perfect with a chair! AND AGAIN!! The ref is tied up with Cornette!
S.B. slides into the ring behind Vader... and punches him. Yokozuna climbs in slowly as Monolith stalks around toward Cornette, who is 'pleading' his case with the referee.
Pillman: Did you ever notice it's ALWAYS Mitzy Johnson who is distracted? Hmmm....
Vader swings around and floors Peterson with the chair... then Yokozuna dives on Vader with the BALL BAT!
JR: IT'S BREAKING LOOSE EARLY ON RAW!!
Monolith comes around the ring... and pulls Cornette down from the apron... brings back a clenched fist.... and brings the fans out of their seats by JABBING James E. in the nose!!! Cornette falls back, head over heels, sprawling out on the floor! The fans love it!
Yokozuna rolls out of the ring, bringing S.B. with him. The referee finally turns back around and sees Vader with a steel chair over a fallen Perfect. The Blizzard has pulled himself to a corner, shaking the feeling back into his arm. Referee Mitzy Johnson...
CALLS FOR THE BELL! She raises Perfect's hand, the winner by disqualification! Vader storms forward at Mitzy, yelling at her at the top of his lungs! She holds her ground as he turns and helps up the Blizzard and escorts him out with Jim Cornette.
Pillman: S.B. Peterson must REALLY dislike Jim Cornette! And for that... I LIKE him!
JR: Before we went on the air tonight, S.B. told me that the Blizzard has been challenging Monolith in the back, and has been 'running his mouth off' about S.B. and Monolith. This may be their way of saying YES, we accept!
Pillman: Oh sure, like Cornette would want his man in there against Monolith!
King: The Blizzard's running SCARED from Bobby Heenan! Trust me, if Bobby comes out here tonight, the Blizzard'll take off faster than Starr Blaze at a wig sale! HAHA!
JR: Oh my! It's going to be a LONG night sitting between YOU TWO! Let's go to the locker rooms, Owen and the Bulldog have some things to say.
King: Twice.
