“Good Evening Ladies and Gentlemen and Welcome to the Special Reserve arena!” Declared ageing ring announcer Howard Finkel. “The following contest, scheduled for one fall is a first round match in the King of The Ring Tournament!” The Crowd cheers as they instantly recognise the opening bars of Chris Benoit’s entry ,music. “Ladies and gentlemen from Canada weighing in at 230lbs, the Rabid Wolverine, Chris Benoit (Grandprix)!”
The cheering for Chris Benoit (Grandprix) suddenly ups a gear as Rob Van Dam’s music hits. This is gonna be one hell of a match up and this particular writer’s all time dream mach-up. So settle back in your seats and grab a cold one. Oh yeah…and enjoy! Rob Van Dam (Rickoss) has strutted his way down to the ring and as Howard Finkel announces his name he does that thumbs up thing and the crowd chant ROB! VAN! DAM!
There’s gonna be no time for pleasantries in this one as The Rabid Wolverine and The Whole Dam show lock up before referee Jack Doan is even ready! Collar and elbow tie up, go behind by Chris Benoi, Benoit takes Van Dam down. Front face-lock now by Benoit, good chain wrestling from Benoit. But Van Dam with a kip-up escape and straight off the ropes, Van Dam comes back, ducks a Benoit clothesline and hits a spinning heel kick! Benoit rolls out under the ropes! Benoit has been everywhere and done everything and even he has never fought anyone like Van Dam! Benoit doesn’t have time to dwell on this fact though as Van Dam runs off the ropes and vaults over the top rope crashing down onto Benoit with a somersault plancha!
Chris Benoit (Grandprix) is reeling from this early onslaught by Van Dam! Rob Van Dam presses home the advantage though, scraping Benoit off the floor and into a front face-lock! He goes for a suplex on the outside, no wait he drops Benoit forwards, rib-first onto the safety barrier! Rob Van Dam steps back up onto the apron and leaps at Benoit dropping his leg across Benoit’s back, crushing him against the safety barrier!
Rob Van Dam (Rickoss) is now bag in the ring and is posing for the crowd. A dazed Chris Benoit (Grandprix) pulls himself back under the ropes, as Van Dam celebrates. Van Dam turns and sees Benoit back up to his knees. Van Dam grabs Benoit’s head a pulls him back to his feet. Van Dam whips Benoit off the ropes, Van Dam with a split legged drop down, Benoit goes pover the top, Van Dam back to his feet, but he’s met by a stiff clothesline from Benoit! That almost knocked Van Dam’s teeth down his throat! Benoit follows up, locking Van Dam’s legs in the Indian Death-lock! Benoit falls backwards a couple of times to put extra pressure on Van Dam’s legs! But Van Dam fell right next to the ropes and grabs the bottom one, Jack Doan dutifully breaks the hold!
Chris Benoit now with the irish whip, sending Van Dam into the corner. Benoit follows in, but Van Dam floats over! Benoit trapped in the corner now and Van Dam buries his shoulder into Benoit’s mid-section! Another shoulder to the midsection! Van Dam now, with a backflip out of the corner and he runs back in, burying his shoulder into Benoit’s mid-section one more time! Benoit slumps back into the corner as Van Dam turns away and celebrates with the adoring crowd once again. Van Dam now turns his attention back to Benoit as he runs towards him in the corner, he rolls, jumps and lands with his feet on Benoits legs, monkey flip out of the corner! Benoit is looking in real trouble in this match-up!
Van Dam goes for a lazy cover on Benoit, Benoit kicks out at two, Van Dam may have had it, if he’d covered the leg! Benoit can’t get up though and Van Dam is running the ropes once again...Rolling Thunder!!! Van Dam with another sloppy cover and once again Benoit rolls his shoulder at two! But Benoit is still down and Van Dam goes to the corner, Van Dam jumps to the top rope and...Split-Legged Moonsault! This is gonna be it! Van Dam hooks the leg, 1...2...kickout!!! How did Benoit do that?!?
Rob Van Dam (Rickoss) is beginning to look frustrated that he can’t put Benoit away! Van Dam goes to pull Benoit back to his feet SMALL PACKAGE!!! Benpoit rolls Van Dam up! 1...2...and Van Dam kicks out! Van Dam sure didn’t appreciate that! As Chris Benoit (Grandprix) groggily returns to his feet Van Dam runs off the ropes. Benoit looks for the backdrop but he ducked too early, Van Dam with a kick to the chest of Benoit, but Benoit blocks it and has Van Dam’s foot! But Van Dam quickly steps through and hits a spinning heel kick! Benoit falls backwards and lands on top of Jack Doan who was in the wrong place at the wrong time!
Rob Van Dam (Rickoss) looks at his felled opponent and the referee. He shrugs his shoulders and goes to the corner. Van Dam launches himself to the top rope and perches there for a moment soaking up the adulation of this crowd! FIVE STAR FROG SPL...no wait! Benoit rolls out of the way! Van Dam hits hard and bounces right back up on to his feet clutching his stomach. Quick as a flash though Benoit has locked his arms around Van Dam’s waist! German Suplex! Benoit hangs on! Another German Suplex! And Another! AND Another! AND ANOTHER!!! One more German Suplex and this time Benoit releases it early! Van Dam lands right on his neck and crumples into a heap!
Chris Benoit looks at Van Dam, then at the turnbuckles! The fans cheers as Benoit goes up top! DIVING HEADBUT!!! He nailed it perfectly, but he hurt himself in the process!!! Van Dam and Benoit are both down!!! And now wait!!! Oh my god that can’t be!!! IT IS!!! Sabu just came out of the crowd!!! He can’t be here can here?!? He’s not even signed to SRW!!! He has got a chair though! He’s going up top and he launches himself in the direction of Benoit, in mid-air he positions the chair under his leg and drives it into the face of Benoit!!! Arabian face buster!!! Sabu quickly puts his former ECW tag-team partner on top of Benoit and scaprers from the ring as Jack Doan is stirring!!! It’s a very slow count from the groggy referee. 1--------------------2---------------3!!! He got him!!!
“Ladies and gentlemen, your winner, progressing to the next round of the king of the ring tournament, ROB VAN DAM!”
Van Dam looks around, Sabu is long gone, but I’m not sure if Van Dam knows what happened or who it was helped him win this match. What is going on here?

Great match featuring to of the best wrestlers in the world and a unexpected ending.
Damn you! Damn you all to hell! I was expecting a nice, fair finish between two quality wrestlers and Sabu interferes! I predict a rampage for Benoit now.
Excellent I always love suprises, interference like that from stars totally unexpected is a right rush from the crowd.
Good match, Congy, nice action and well paced.
Go RVD, go Sabu!
Good match, Congy, nice action and well paced.
Go RVD, go Sabu!
What a match Cong! I could just see Sabu coming into WWE in real life too! Pity that they ain't gonna sign him what with his crazy stunts. Super Crazy out of the Old ECW is a bit like that as well.
Congrats to Rickoss with RVD.
If we are having Sabu in SRW. I want him! :D
