The first match on today's program would feature
Manny Montana facing the Funking Conservatory Hardcore Champion Bobby
"Bonecrusher" Smith in a non title match. Joining Bonecrusher at ringside
would be his manager Lawbook Esquire.
The match started off with Bonecrusher trying
to get the early advantage on Manny, but Manny caught Bonecrusher in the
corner
with a series of punches and chops. Manny then whipped Bonecrusher
into the opposite corner and connected with a back elbow
smash. Manny continued the offense by whipping Bonecrusher into the
ropes and catching him with a huge clothesline. Manny
followed up with a chop and a dropkick.
Manny tried to whip Bonecrusher into the ropes
again, but Bonecrusher reversed the whip and knocked Manny down with a
clothesline of his own. Bonecrusher continued on Manny by stomping
on him and then placing him in the corner to deliver more
chops. Manny countered with a kick to the midsection of Bonecrusher
and then a quick series of chops knocking Bonecrusher into
the opposite corner.
Bonecrusher countered back on Manny with a
high kneelift and followed up with a suplex. Bonecrusher went for the first
cover of
the match, but Manny kicked out at two. Bonecrusher placed Manny in
the corner and gave him another huge chop followed up by a
hiptoss. Bonecrusher then tried to choke Manny out using the ropes,
but referee The Claw would force Bonecrusher to break the
hold.
Bonecrusher gave Manny a whip into the corner
and went for a running clothesline, but Manny ducked and caught Bonecrusher
with a German suplex. Manny went for the cover, but Bonecrusher kicked
out at two. As Manny argued with The Claw, Bonecrusher
came up behind him and delivered a low blow. Manny slumped across the
middle rope.
As Bonecrusher distracted The Claw, Lawbook
Esquire whacked Manny in the head with his briefcase. Bonecrusher then
bounced off the ropes and dropped the Bonecrusher elbow drop on Manny.
Bonecrusher made the cover for three and the victory.
Today's feature match would be an intergender
tag team match between four champions. On one side would be the team of
the
Funking Conservatory European Champion Sledgehammer/w Lawbook Esquire
and the !BANG! TV Champion The Highland
Strangler. The other side would be the team of the Funking Conservatory
Women's Champion Dixie The Diva Of Domination (3D)
and the Funking Conservatory Triple Crown Champion The Royal Stud Adam
Windsor.
Adam and Sledgehammer would start for their
respective teams. Adam backed Sledgehammer into the corner and came away
with a clean break. Adam turned and noticed his arch enemy Bonecrusher
sitting at ringside.
With Adam distracted, Sledgehammer brought
him down to the mat with an armdrag. Sledgehammer would bring Adam back
down to the mat with a headlock takedown, but Adam quickly escaped
the headlock. Adam caught Sledgehammer with an armbar
and then followed up with an armdrag back into the armbar. Adam then
made the tag to Dixie.
Dixie took over on the armbar on Sledgehammer,
but Sledgehammer easily reversed the armbar into an armbar of his own on
Dixie. Sledgehammer then gave Dixie an armdrag, but Dixie rolled right
back over catching Sledgehammer in the armbar once
again. Sledgehammer forced Dixie into the corner where he would make
the tag to the Strangler.
Strangler started off by choking Dixie in
the corner with his boot. After the two locked up, Dixie caught Strangler
with three
armtwists sending him down to the mat and followed up with two legdrops
on Strangler's arm. Once Dixie reapplied the armbar,
she made the tag to Adam.
Adam came in and applied a modified abdominal
stretch on Strangler. The Claw asked Strangler if he wanted to give up
and he
replied no. Adam went back to the armbar, but Strangler reversed the
hold into a form of the full nelson. Strangler brought Adam
back to his corner to make the tag to Sledgehammer.
Sledgehammer came back in and went to work
on Adam with a series of blows to the midsection and followed up with a
suplex.
Sledgehammer went for a cover, but Adam kicked out at two. Sledgehammer
tried to put Adam away with a big bodyslam.
Sledgehammer went for another cover, but Adam kicked out at two again.
Sledgehammer continued with another suplex
and went for the cover again, but Adam would kick out once again at two.
Sledgehammer tried another bodyslam, but like before Adam kicked out
at two. Sledgehammer then tried a clothesline and tried
the cover again, but Adam kicked out at two yet again.
Adam tried to fight back with blows to the
head of Sledgehammer, but Sledgehammer sent Adam back down with a forearm
to
the back. Once again Sledgehammer attempted to whip Adam into the ropes,
but Adam reversed the whip and sent Sledgehammer
down to the mat with a reverse elbow smash. Adam then placed Sledgehammer
in the corner and went to work with a chop, a
kneelift, and three European uppercuts. Adam then made the tag to Dixie.
Dixie and Adam gave Sledgehammer a double
whip into the ropes. Adam gave Sledgehammer a kick to the midsection while
Dixie beautifully executed a neckbreaker on Sledgehammer. Dixie went
for the cover, but Sledgehammer easily kicked out at two.
Dixie tried the cover again, but Sledgehammer kicked out at two again.
Dixie made the tag back to Adam.
Adam went to work on Sledgehammer with three
powerful European uppercuts and followed up with a high vertical suplex.
Adam went for the cover, but Sledgehammer again kicked out at two.
Adam whipped Sledgehammer into the ropes and went for a
clothesline which turned into a double clothesline sending both men
down.
At this point of the match, Bonecrusher chased
Dixie into the ring with a chair. Bonecrusher was planning to hit Adam
over the
head with the chair like he has done several times before. Dixie stood
in front of Adam to shield him. As Adam stood up, Dixie
dropped to one knee and delivered a low blow to ADAM!!!! Dixie had
turned on her own partner and Bonecrusher then cracked the
chair over Adam's head. The Claw called for the bell ruling Adam and
Dixie the winners via DQ.
At this point, everyone in the ring was stomping
away on Adam until Manny Montana tried to make the save, but he was met
by
Bonecrusher's chair, knocking him out cold. The ring did clear when
Coach Dory Funk, Jr. came in to save Adam. Bonecrusher was
the only one who stayed in the ring and then proceeded to shove Dory
not once, not twice, but three times. Dory decided he had
taken enough and gave Bonecrusher a high kneelift. As Dory went for
the spinning toehold, Bonecrusher was dragged out by his
"friends". This situation with Adam and Bonecrusher is far from over.
The final segment on today's show was a video
with highlights on the career of The Royal Stud Adam Windsor. Adam talked
about how he became a professional wrestler and of some of his inspirations
being Shawn Michaels and Bret Hart. Clips of some of
his greatest matches were shown with opponents such as Chuck Reid,
Chris Vaughn, Bonecrusher, TNT Travis Taylor, U.K. Kid, and
the great Osamu Nishimura. Adam also talked about how when people told
him that he would never make it as a wrestler, he was
going to prove them wrong.
The clip from August 28, 1999 was shown with
120 pound Adam Windsor and his tag team partner Terry Sinner facing the
team of
Jeremy Jett and H.C. Loc. This was Adam's very first match. Both Jett
and Loc pummeled on Adam, but he would bounce back to
help his team win the match.
The next set of clips was from Adam's very
first Florida title defense when he faced his mentor, Dory Funk, Jr.. Adam
said that
this was one of his toughest matches. Dory would have control through
most of the match, but Adam once again rebounded and
defeated the former NWA World Heavyweight Champion with a submission
hold to retain the Florida Championship.
The Big !BANG! will be taking place at the
Dory Funk Arena in Ocala, FL, on Saturday night, June 28. Adam Windsor
will be
defending his Funking Conservatory World Heavyweight Championship against
his arch enemy Bobby "Bonecrusher" Smith.
