STREET FIGHT MATCH
Demolition
w/Jim Cornette

vs.
Raven & Zeus

The Match:
Fog rises up from under the ring and fills the ringside area, as a ball of fog starts to roll down the aisle. Jim Cornette follows it down to ringside with a big smile on his face. When the fog ball reaches ringside, it melts away leaving Ax and Smash. They are dressed in their full studded leather outfits including masks. And they are both setting down garbage cans. They reach into one of them, and Smash pulls out a morningstar and Ax Pulls out a War Hammer. They enter the ring.

'Come Out and Play' by the Offspring starts up over the P.A. system as Raven and Zeus walk out to the ring alone. Raven grabs a mic and he and Zeus get into the ring.

Raven: Valetia, I don't know where you are at this point, but you had better come back. Quote the Raven... NEVERMORE!

Jim Cornette goes over some things with Demolition, then sees the opportunity. He points at Raven and Zeus, and Demolition charges at them, weapons ready!

Ax swings his hammer and fells Raven from behind with it striking the legs. Smash whirls about his morning star and circles it around Zeus' leg. Smash pulls at it, taking the monstrous Zeus down to the canvas.

Ax stands over Raven with the hammer held high. He swings the heavy item down... and plunges it into Raven's chest! The fans are in AWE of the carnage!

Smash dives on top of the tripped-up Zeus and begins punching him ferociously with his studded leather gloves, while Ax stands over Raven, stomping him with his heavy, black boots.

Smash takes the handle of the morning star and presses it down across Zeus' windpipe, cutting off his air. Ax, meanwhile, tosses the hammer to the otuside of the ring where Cornette grabs it and stuffs it safely away in one of the trashcans at ringside.

Ax then pulls Raven up and BODY SLAMS him onto the canvas. Smash yanks the muscular Zeus to his feet... but it's Zeus who gains the advantage by grabbing a hold of Smash's singlet... and throws him through the ropes to the outside!

JR: They're taking it to the floor!

Pillman: They CHEATED! Ax and Smash jumped them before the bell... while they were TALKING!!

Ax drop punches Raven across the head... but doesn't see Zeus turn away from Smash on the outside... toward HIM! Zeus lifts up his leg and brings it down on the back of Ax's head, nearly decapitating him! Raven rolls aside, catching his breath for a moment, as Zeus rolls to the outside... then back in... WITH A HANDHELD VIDEO CAMERA!!

Zeus crashes it down on Ax's back... and AGAIN! He then tosses it aside and rolls out again, this time bringing a CHAIR up. He cracks Smash on the way in... then goes after Ax! Ax and Raven have resumed their fight, trading punches and rolling along the ropes. Ax sees Zeus out of the corner of his eye and dives out of the way of a chair hit. Zeus nearly strikes Raven, but catches himself...

The moment of confusion legs Ax dive into Zeus' legs and bring the redwood tree down to the canvas. Smash pries himself up off the ground, still hurting.

Ax rolls from the ring this time... and he begins fishing for something under the ring. Raven wipes some blood from his face as Zeus starts to get up.

JR: We were waiting for THIS!

Pillman: What?!

JR: THAT!

The fans cheer as S.B. Peterson, Yokozuna and the Great Muta come down the aisle. They reach ringside, and are clearly cheering on Raven and Zeus.

Ax finds what he was looking for.... an electric cattle prod!!! He rolls back in and drives it into Zeus' mid-section... and TURNS IT ON!!!! A LOUD 'BZZZ' is heard through the arena as Zeus falls back from the electric shock!!!

Raven dives into the back of Ax, taking him down. After a few punches to the face, Raven pulls the cattle prod away from Ax...

Smash grabs one of the metal trashcans from Jim Cornette... and rushes in once more. Ax kicks Raven up off of him AND INTO THE TRASHCAN!! Smash brings the can down around Raven's head, trapping him inside with a CLANG!!

Ax finds the steel chair... picks it up... and CRACKS it on Zeus' head, knocking him down. Smash pounds on Raven through the metal trashcan. Smash then turns away from Raven... and CLIMBS TO THE TOP ROPE!!!

Ax comes up behind Raven... picks him up... and PRESSES HIM HIGH IN THE AIR!! He drops him just as Smash leaps off the ropes for a SPLASH!!! ONTO THE TRASHCAN!!!

JR: THE WRECKER!!! That had to hurt BOTH men!!!

Zeus is still recovering in the corner. Blood has begun to run down his face as well. Smash and Raven both lie on the canvas, hurt from that last move. Ax reaches down under the ring... and pulls up a BASEBALL BAT!!! He swings it around in the air... then CRACKS it down on the only part of Raven that is visible... his legs, sticking out from the distorted trashcan!!

Ax grabs Raven's leg... and pulls it up, then slides out of the ring, dragging Raven out of the can... and groin-first into the RINGPOST!!! Ax holds him there as he continues to beat on his leg with the baseball bat.

Smash finds his morning star once more... and takes it toward Zeus, who he sees in the corner. Smash wraps the chain of the star around Zeus' neck... then grabs each end and PULLS!!! Zeus is being CHOKED OUT!!!

Ax is still outside the ring. He tosses the bat down on the ground and it bounces aside. Ax reaches under the ring again... and pulls out a pair of METAL HANDCUFFS!!! He grabs Raven's arm, and Raven begins kicking and struggling! They wrestle around, Raven half out of the ring, with Ax standing on the floor. The camera tries to get a clear view of what's happening with the handcuffs..... the bottom strand starts to move.....

RAVEN HAS BEEN HANDCUFFED TO THE BOTTOM ROPE!!!

Pillman: HEY!! WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?!

JR: It's a STREET FIGHT! It's all legal!!

Smash, meanwhile, has Zeus still choked by the chain. He swings him around... then throws him up over the top rope to the outside... HANGING HIM OUT!!! Zeus' legs kick as he tries to free himself... but cannot! Smash lets him go after a few moments, the climbs out, tossing the morning starr aside. Smash grabs Zeus by the head... rushes him down ringside... and SLAMS him face-first to one of the wooden tables set up here.

Raven struggles to pull himself free of the handcuffs, but cannot. Ax stands over him, ready for more punishment. Raven kicks up... AND HE HITS A LOW BLOW!!! Ax leans forward, then falls to his side in pain. Raven goes back to trying to free himself.

Smash clears off the Spanish commentators table, then rolls Zeus up onto it. Zeus begins to get back up.... so Smash takes his head... and DRIVES IT BACK down into the table!! Smash turns and begins to climb up on the apron...

Tito: Keep your eye on Smash, amigos.

Smash is on the ring apron... he leaps.... BIG SPLASH.... ZEUS MOVES!!! Smash crashes through the table, breaking it in half! It folds out and sandwiches him inside.

Raven finds that he cannot get free! Ax has regrouped... and with the BASEBALL BAT this time!! He begins pummeling the helpless Raven over and over again until he is no longer moving! Ax then sees Smash in trouble and rolls to the outside.

Smash and Zeus have entered a wild melee. Ax sets up behind the two, motioning for Smash. Smash quickly acts, taking Zeus by the arm, spinning him around and whipping him toward Ax... who seems ready to receive a pitch in baseball. He swings.... Zeus charges in... ZEUS SHOULDERBLOCKS HIM DOWN!! Smash comes running in, bringing a knee up into Zeus' back... and driving him hard into the steel barricade!!

The metal fence slides across the floor, sending the fans running. Smash continues to batter Zeus' head into the barricade.... until his made him MORE of a bloody mess.

Ax and Smash throws the massive Zeus into the ring. Ax has a second pair of handcuffs from under the ring. They take the cuffs... slap them around Zeus' wrist... then the other around RAVEN'S wrist!!!

Demolition hammers them down with repeated axehandles... until.... IT'S OVER!!! Raven and Zeus are no longer responding. Referee Mitzy Johnson calls for the bell... and it's OVER!!!

Cornette holds his arms up in the air with a big smile. S.B. and his group watch as Cornette leads his men up the aisle. The fog draws up around Demolition as they depart.
