Referee Pinnette: Alright! Alright! OUT WITH THEM!

Snagged, the Harlem Heat begin to empty their pockets and tights of various weapons: barbed wire wrapped in aluminum wrap, a packet of something, one of them was carrying a black bag... that is dropped, steel plates under their shirts. They curse under their breath as the referee makes sure they leave ALL the weapons down at the bottom. The LOD are up top, waiting. Their hometown fans are chanting for them.

Afterward, the Heat climb up to the top as the announcer makes his final introductions... BUT HE DOESN'T GET THE CHANCE!! THE TWO TEAMS GO AT IT!! The bell sounds! The fans rise up... NO ONE IS SITTING!!!! The camera pans across the arena to the scaffolding that is 30' above the ring!!!

Animal dives at Stevie and they begin punching at each other on the left side of the scaffolding. Hawk and Booker T. hook up on the right side! Animal begins to get the better of the brawl and starts pouding Ray's head with punch after punch after punch!! Stevie is rocking!

Meanwhile, Hawk gains the upperhand... BY DROP TOEHOLDING Booker... FACE FIRST ONTO THE SCAFFOLDING! A sick metal clang echoes through out the Rosemont Horizon... and the fans cheer!!! Hawk slams Booker's head down into the scaffold again and starts choking him!!!

Animal grabs Stevie by the head and starts knee-lifting him repeatedly!! Hawk holds on the choke and Booker gasps for air! He reaches out desperately... and RAKES Hawk's eyes! Hawk backs up, blinded.

Animal kneelifts Stevie hard in the sternum... then turns as he sees his partner in trouble! Stevie backs up, bracing himself along the scaffolding's supports. Booker, meanwhile, is unaware that Animal is charging at him. Booker moves in on the blinded Hawk...

Animal comes in behind and slams a boot to the back of Booker's head... and DRIVES Booker down into the scaffold, before turning back to Stevie Ray. Ray comes at him... Animal scoops him up... BIG SLAM ON THE SCAFFOLD!!! The Chicago fans ERUPT!!!!! Stevie Ray is in serious pain!!!

Howard: It's no wonder I got into broadcasting! Furthest I have to fall is off my 'high horse'!

Animal starts kicking the prone Stevie in the face with his big boots! Ray rolls with the kicks... then rolls INTO Animal, knocking him down onto the scaffold. They roll precariously toward the edge almost over! They blast each other with punches!!!

Fog rolls onto the entry way. Two large shapes are seen in the fog.

Voice #1: Road Warriors, Harlem Heat! We challenge either of you to a match. Once you have healed from this ordeal. We do not want to destroy crippled foes.

Voice #2: A non title defense against the winner, and just a match against the loser. And we will show you all what it feels like to be DEMOLISHED!

They turn and walk backstage as the fog follows them.

Howard: Now what was THAT?

JR: Ten to one that's the new tag team we're going to see later on!

Stevie starts to get the upperhand. Animal is getting punched hard! He clutches the edge of the scaffolding! Hawk, with his vision restored, lunges at Booker and punches him back down to the metal. Hawk charges in to help his partner. Stevie sees Hawk rushing in...and hits a single leg on Hawk! The Hawk's head slams onto the canvas as he finds himself on his back!!!

Animal starts to recover... Stevie turns toward him.... and gives him A RUSSIAN SICKLE!!!! Animal is knocked halfway across the scaffold... toward Booker... who gives him... A HARLEM SIDEKICK!!!!

JR: WHAT IMPACT!!! THE CHAMPIONS ARE TURNING IT ON!!!

Animal is left lying on the scaffolding, and the champions turn their attention on Hawk! Booker grabs Hawk by the arm and whips him toward Stevie, who sets for a POWERSLAM!! Hawk comes charging in... BUT CLOTHESLINES RAY TO THE METAL!!! Hawk turns around, rearing his head back and flexing!!! The fans go NUTS!

Booker rushes in... ROUNDHOUSE KICK!!! Hawk is stunned! Booker jumps up... SAVAT KICK!!! Animal begins to stir on the scaffolding... Stevie is still hurt! Booker is handling Hawk! He hits another ROUNDHOUSE KICK!! Hawk goes down, now bleeding on the back of his head! Then Booker catches Animal out of the corner of his eye... he swings around and hits him with... A CRESCENT KICK!!!

Familiar Voice over P/A: How Boring.

Booker drops down and wraps up Animal's arms, holding him down. He calls for his brother, Stevie... and Stevie comes over! Ray starts stomping on Animal as Booker holds him down! Booker lets it go and motions to Stevie to hold Animal down. Stevie presses his hands down on Animals shoulders. Booker sees that Hawk is still down, holding his head.

Booker goes to the scaffolding's support frame... and begins to climb... UP!!! He goes up higher... and higher... maybe to 45' feet above the ring floor!!! Booker dives off at Animal.... Animal... SLIPS OUT FROM STEVIE!!! BOOKER SLAMS INTO THE SCAFFOLD - NOBODY HOME!!! THE PLACE IS DEAFENING!!! Stevie stands up angrily and starts stomping on Animal quickly!

Voice: Gee, the things they teach the scrubs these days.

Stevie pulls up Animal... and CLOTHESLINES him down to the scaffold with a sickening clang! Stevie then rushes at Hawk... AND CLOTHESLINES HIM!! Stevie jumps on top of Hawk and they begin to bash each other senseless!! They roll around on the scaffolding... and NEAR the edge! Animal stands up and moves in at them....

Stevie is bashing Hawk... almost off! Animal STOMPS on Stevie, giving Hawk a chance to pull himself back to the center of the scaffold. Hawk moves over toward the prone, and bloody Booker. He starts choking the life from him!!!

Animal picks up Stevie in a spike slam position. He moves toward the edge of the scaffold!!!! Animal tries to dump him off!! Stevie fights for all he's worth... and manages to catch Animal with a shot to the head!!! Booker reverses the positions and pushes Animal back! Animal falls... but hooks his arm on the edge of the scaffolding and scoots back up!

Stevie grabs one of Animal's legs and tries to flip him back and off... but Animal axehandles Stevie on top of the head! Animal then hooks Stevie... for a VERTICAL SUPLEX!!

JR: IF HE HITS THIS... STEVIE RAY WILL DROP RIGHT OFF THE EDGE!!!!

Stevie hooks Animal's boot and refuses to be suplexed! Booker, meanwhile, is still getting choked and punched by Hawk. Both men are a bloody mess! Stevie, on the other edge, punches Animal in the gut. Animal backs up, doubled over... HE'S NEAR THE EDGE!!!

Stevie lifts up Animal..... and PRESSES HIM OVER HIS HEAD!!!! HE MOVES TO THE EDGE...
