vs.
Sting
w/Rick Rude, Sarah D., Starr Blaze, Ultimate Warrior & Brutus Beefcake

The Match:
'I Owe My Soul to the Company Store' plays over the P/A. The Giant comes down with Terry Taylor and two Taylor Blondes. He appears to be out of breath a bit. He climbs up into the ring.

JR: That match against Diesel must have taken a lot out of the Giant!

Bam Bam: He's the biggest man in this tournament. He needs a quick win here so he can get long rest.

JR: There's still two more matches before the FINALS!

'The Man Called Sting' plays! The fans go ELECTRIC! He comes through the curtains with his group! He takes two steps....AND IS ATTACKED!!!

THE CORPORATE MACHINE!

The Machine charges out of the curtains, leaps up and KICKS Sting HARD in the back of the head... then TRUCKS to ringside to stand with Terry Taylor. Sting is knocked down to the mats. Rick Rude and Starr help him up. The Warrior and Brutus head to the ringside and stalk around after the Machine and Taylor who stay on the opposite side.

JR: WHAT A KICK!!

Bam Bam: He nearly took Sting's HEAD off with that!

JR: More underhanded tactics from Taylor Tech. Sting's gotta be smarting from the attack earlier by Stevie's gang... and now THIS!

Sting is helped up and comes to ringside. Starr Blaze is checking under the ring apron for anything. Sting gets into the ring, rubbing the back of his head.

The bell sounds. Sting runs at the Giant.. and leaps up behind him... SLEEPER HOLD!!!!! Sting is up on the Giant's back, cranking away with a SLEEPER!! The Giant stumbles around... then drops to one knee!!!

Starr cheers Sting on... as the Giant goes to a SECOND KNEE!!

Bam Bam: This could be over QUICK!

JR: The Giant is going.. NIGHT NIGHT!

The Giant starts to slouch... and tilt... and go down!!! Sting keeps the hold on all the way down!! The referee checks the Giant's arm.... IT DROPS!! He picks it up again... and the Giant holds it out straight. Sting squeezes harder.

The Giant's arm doesn't go down!!! Sting releases the hold and stands up. The Giant rolls to his back, and he looks out of breath... exhausted!! Sting pops up and draws the fans into it!! They RALLY!!!

He turns back to the Giant... and is FLIPPED down with a sweep of the Giant's arm at his legs. The Giant picks up Sting by the tights... and THROWS HIM OUT AT TAYLOR'S FEET!!

The Giant turns the referee away, arguing with him. Taylor pulls up Sting.... NECKBREAKER!!! The Machine stands over Sting... and THROWS SALT IN HIS EYES!!! Brutus, the Warrior, Rude and Starr rush around the ring...

The Machine throws Sting into the ring. The Stinger is holding his eyes in pain! He can't SEE!!!! Taylor and the Machine run from Sting's entourage.

JR: HERE COMES MORE HELP!!!

Sid, the Sensei and Jade then come down to ringside. The Sensei threatens the Machine to stay out of it. Taylor and the Machine keep away from everyone... moving left... then right... feeling trapped.

In the ring, the Giant pulls up the blinded Sting... and HEADBUTTS him in the back of the head! THEN AGAIN!! AND AGAIN!!! AND AGAIN!!! Sting's body wobbles from the shots.

The Giant throws Sting to the corner, then hooks him in a front facelock... an arm behind his back... THE ANDRE PLEX!!! The Giant flips him over and lands on him full force!!! He presses him for the pin.... 1... 2....
