The challenger, Steve Blackman, is out first with his duffel bag full of weapons. He seems rather confident and a slight grin can be seen on a usually blank face. Blackman puts his bag in the corner and pulls out two sticks and starts twirling them in anticipation.
Okay, we await the arrival of the champion. There seems to be a slight delay. Wait a second! It’s the Dudleys (RBS & Afrojoe)! The tag team champions have come down and are smiling at Blackman! They get in the ring and they stare at each other. This looks bad! Blackman puts down his sticks and puts his hand out! The Dudleys just shook Blackman’s hand! What is that all about?
The odds look stacked against the champ. A video is appearing on the Titantron. It looks like it was filmed earlier today. It’s the A.P.A (Crash & Rickoss) office! What’s going on? Bradshaw and Faarooq are just sitting there, playing poker and drinking beer. KNOCK, KNOCK! Who’s at the door? It’s Hardcore Holly! The sound is down so we can’t hear what is being said but there is money exchanging hands. We will see what unfolds.
The Hardcore champion makes his way to the ring and stands on the ramp. He has a microphone in his hand.
“Blackman! It seems you have enlisted some help. It isn’t going to help you because I would like you to meet my bodyguards for the night. I think you know them quite well!”
It’s the A.P.A! Come on, this is not a triple tag match. Hardcore Holly and the A.P.A enter the ring. The referee is requesting that the Dudleys and the A.P.A leave the ring. Surprisingly, they have done. Hopefully, we can get this match going.
The bell rings and the match is underway. They lock up and Hardcore Holly headlocks Blackman. Blackman is slowly being taken to the mat. It turns out to be a bad move. WHAM! Blackman picks up one of his sticks and cracks it straight over the head of Hardcore Holly.
The Dudleys have set a table up on the outside. Whoever gets thrown over the ropes is going through it. The A.P.A have been busy also. They have grabbed two bins with bin lids, a STOP sign and a fire extinguisher and have thrown them in the ring.
Blackman is applying pressure on Hardcore Holly’s neck with that stick. WHAM! STOP sign in the face of Steve Blackman! Another shot with the STOP sign. Hardcore Holly goes to pick up Blackman. SMALL PACKAGE! 1, 2… KICK OUT! More of a surprise than anything.
Both are back on their feet. Blackman has both sticks in his hand now. Hardcore Holly has picked up both bin lids. Hardcore Holly charges at Blackman. Blackman is really educated with those sticks and numerous shots to the leg and ribs. One sharp shot to the head and Hardcore Holly is down. Cover by Blackman. 1, 2… SPLIT BY BRADSHAW! HE HAS PULLED BLACKMAN TO THE OUTSIDE!
The A.P.A is pummelling Blackman. The Dudleys are coming to help! Chair shots on Bradshaw and Faarooq by the Dudleys! The Dudleys are stomping on the fallen A.P.A. The A.P.A are crawling to their feet. They now start trading blows. They are going through the crowd now and it looks like they aren’t going to interfere anymore.
It is now what it should be. Blackman is down on the outside of the ring. He crawls to the steel steps. Hardcore Holly slides out and walks to Blackman. THWACK! Kendo stick square to the head of Hardcore Holly! There was one hidden underneath the ring. Blackman can’t take advantage of this and just staggers into the ring.
Hardcore Holly is back in the ring. Blackman has a bin in his hand. BLACKMAN PUTS THE BIN ON HARDCORE HOLLY’S HEAD! Hardcore Holly is in real trouble! He can’t use his arms and can’t see anything! Blackman drop toe holds Hardcore Holly to the mat. Blackman grabs the fire extinguisher! WHOOOSH! Blackman sprays the fire extinguisher straight into the bin! You can hear the choking inside the bin!
Blackman slides out of the ring and grabs the Kendo Stick. SMACK! Blackman smacks the bin with the stick. More shots keep going in. I think there was about 10 shots in all. Blackman starts showing off. SOMEONE IS RUNNING DOWN THE RAMP! IT’S SHAUN STASIAK! He runs in the ring, Blackman grabs his head, throws him over the ropes, CRACK! Straight through the table!
Hardcore Holly has managed to shake the bin off his head. Blackman is looking at Stasiak’s body. He turns round and runs at Hardcore Holly! ALABAMA SLAM! This one is over! Hardcore Holly with the cover! 1… 2… KICK OUT! BLACKMAN KICKED OUT!
Hardcore Holly is frustrated. Blackman staggers to his feet. Hardcore Holly off the ropes, DROPKICK! A superb dropkick! Hardcore Holly grabs a second bin and puts it in the centre of the ring. It looks like Hardcore Holly is going to end it! NO! Blackman with a stiff kick in the face! Hardcore Holly falls onto the bin! Blackman stumbles onto the ropes, turns round, CLOTHESLINE FROM HELL! BRADSHAW OUT OF NOWHERE!! He puts Hardcore Holly on top of Blackman. 1… 2… 3!!!!! HARDCORE HOLLY HAS DONE IT!
WINNER AND STILL HARDCORE CHAMPION: HARDCORE HOLLY (Ice Blaster)
Anyway, great match GP. Better than your last one I would say but I'm not sure SR are keen to give another match a GAD win.
Well done Hardocre Holly (IB)
Still
I've been reading this match on and off for ten mins now
Finished
Top notch match GP!
I especially liked the little video idea at the start.
Well done Gradprix
Okay, I challenge the tag team Bradshaw (Crash) to a hardcore match next week! There I will get revenge.
Top stuff there Matt, some more great original ideas for the hardcore matches. I like the way the APA are always sitting at their desk, drinking beer, and then straight away come stomping their way down to the ring, probably still drinking beer. :D
