Deep South Wrestling - ATLAS VS KABUKI

Lord Alfred Hayes: Wrestling fans, welcome to Deep South Wrestling. We’re in the heart of Cajun country, Lafayette, Louisiana, broadcasting from the CajunDome. Calling the action with me tonight is a true legend of this sport, Bad News Brown.
Bad News Brown: Thank you, Alfred. We’ve got a great lineup of matches, and I’m looking forward to a fun night.
Hayes: Mike McGuirk is in the ring ready to bring out our first competitors.


Sam Houston vs Van Hammer

Hammer comes to the ring “playing” an electric guitar. Jesse Hernandez starts the match and Hammer dominates early with power. He looks a little lost out there when he’s not able to finish Houston following a superplex. Houston with a dropkick out of nowhere and Hammer is winded. Houston speeds up the pace, wearing Van Hammer down even further, finishing him off with the Bulldog headlock at the 7:42 mark.


Hillbilly Jim vs Shinya Hashimoto

Hillbilly Jim spends several minutes dancing and slapping hands with the fans on the way to the ring. Hashimoto goes to work on Jim very quickly, landing several hard kicks and chops. Jim makes the ropes to escape a triangle choke attempt, but falls prey to the jumping spike DDT. Robarb Jones counts the pinfall at 4:26.

Hayes: Wow, I’ve never seen the Hillbilly dominated in the ring. Hashimoto was just devastating there.
Brown: Hashimoto simply outclassed him. He’s one of the best wrestlers in the world, and showed it tonight against one of the most popular stars of the last 10 years.


George South vs “Killer” Tim Brooks

Brown: These are my kind of athletes, Hayes. Down and dirty, not afraid of a fight. This is gonna be fun to watch.
Hayes: Indeed.

Brooks jumps South before the bell rings, and has him busted wide open when referee Hernandez officially starts the match. South reverses a whip into the steel barricade, sending Brooks crashing. They brawl out into the crowd, as the ref is trying to get them back in the ring, instead of administering a 10-count. Finally back in the ring, South has gained the advantage, getting a 2-count off of a back suplex. Brooks gets whipped into the ropes, but he hangs on when South leaves his feet for a dropkick. South holds his head and the referee checks on him. South gets up, but Brooks has slipped on some knucks, and connects with a big right hand. He makes the cover, concealing his right hand, and Hernandez hits the mat 3 times and calls for the bell.

Hayes: How could the referee not have seen that?
Brown: Seen what? That was great judo thrust to the jaw. Nothing wrong with that.
Hayes: Are you mad?
Brown: . . .


Mitsuhara Misawa vs Shinjiro Otani

Referee Robarb Jones checks both men and starts the match. Mat sequence to start, with Misawa getting the better of it before Otani leaves the ring to rethink strategy.

Brown: They’re both fine technical wrestlers, but I’m waitin’ for them to start with the heavy hitting.
Hayes: Yes, this match should end up getting pretty rough. Goodness! What a kick to the face by Ohtani!
Brown: He’s gonna kick his head off, Hayes.

Misawa is looking dazed on the mat after taking 3 kicks to the face. Into the ropes, Misawa ducks another kick and delivers a German suplex to Otani. Before Misawa can press the advantage, Otani lands a dropkick to the left knee. Sitout powerbomb into a figure-four leglock, and Misawa manages to fight his way to the ropes.

Brown: What a cowardly way to get out of that hold!
Hayes: Cowardly?! I thought it was rather clever of Misawa.
Brown: Of course you did.

Misawa with a hard slap to Otani that turns him around.

Hayes: He locks in a full nelson. Oh dear, he just suplexed him on his head!
Brown: That’s a release Dragon suplex.

Otani gets right up from the suplex and both men trade hard kicks and forearm shots. Spin kick by Misawa to the chest, but Otani retaliates with a spinning heel kick. Kneebar by Otani, but Misawa is able to fight his way out of it. He gets stuck in the corner and Otani punishes him with kicks and facewashes him. Otani charges for a running knee, but Misawa moves out of the way, and delivers a Tiger suplex, getting a two count. Corkscrew lariat gets another 2 count, and Misawa is on fire. He goes for the Rolling Elbow, but Otani ducks under and Dragon suplexes Misawa for 2.

Hayes: The amount of punishment these men have taken is quite remarkable. And a kick to the face sends Misawa out to the floor. Otani follows him out. Misawa blocks a suplex attempt and elbows Otani. Tiger suplex by Misawa on the concrete floor! Good lord!!!
Brown: I think Otani is dead, Hayes. Who could get up after that?

Misawa rolls Otani back in. Otani’s lip is split pretty badly from that last elbow. Misawa goes to the top rope, and connects with a Tiger Body Press.

Otani gets a shoulder up! Misawa is shocked, but not flustered. After deflecting an Otani kick to the ribs, he lands a big elbow smash and sets up for a Tiger Driver. Otani’s head goes crashing into the mat, as Misawa lands in a pinning position.

Jones calls for the bell an Misawa wins at the 38:42 mark.

Hayes: That was one of the greatest matches I have ever seen, Bad News.
Brown: I think both of those guys are gonna spend tonight in a hospital.
Hayes: Fans, during the match, Bad News and I received some food from one of the finer Cajun restaurants here in Lafayette, Randol’s. Bad News is enjoying some fried alligator bites and shrimp creole pasta. I’ve been brought a couple of redfish fillets, covered in shrimp etouffee. Absolutely delici . . .
Brown: What the hell? Alfred Hayes, I’ve been given a note that Billy Jack Haynes injured himself in a car accident earlier today and will be unable to wrestle tonight. He’s coming out to address the fans. I’m gonna bring him out.

Brown (in the ring): Listen up, everyone. Due to an injury sustained on his way to the arena, Billy Jack Haynes will not be able to perform tonight. I’ve been told he wants to address the crowd, so come on out, Haynes.

Haynes comes out to the ring on crutches, with a cast on his right foot.

Brown: Billy Jack, you look like I just finished kicking your ass. (laughs)
Haynes (laughing): Yeah, I’ve looked better. I got ran off the road by a pickup truck several hours ago and ended up in a ditch. I suffered a few lacerations, bruised ribs, and broken ankle. The ankle, in particular, is what’s keeping me from putting on a show for these fa . . .
Black Bart: Hey, you punk!
Bart enters the ring and stares at Brown and Hayes.
Brown: What’s the deal, Bart? I’m trying to interview . . .
Bart: You shut your mouth, Bad News! I came out to fight Billy Jack, but it doesn’t look like he’s up to it. Maybe I ought to beat you up anyway.
Haynes: Now look, Bart. I’m in no position to wrestle, but if I have to crack your skull open with a crutch, then that’s exactly what I’ll do.
Bart: Calm down, Haynes. I almost admire your guts even showing up to the arena tonight. You didn’t look so good earlier when I saw you.
Haynes: What do you mean?
Bart: You didn’t recognize my truck? I was trying to . . . say hello, but I guess I got . . . to close for your comfort. I would have stopped to help you out, but I had to get some beer and chaw.
Haynes: You did this to me, you son of a . . .

Bart kicks Haynes’ broken foot and pounds on his ribs. He stomps on Haynes and goes for his bull rope, but Bad News steps in Bart’s way. After some trash talking by both men, Bart takes a swing, landing a big right hand to Brown’s jaw. Brown retaliates in kind, and a wild brawl ensues, spilling out into the crowd, going all over the CajunDome. Brown finally gets the upper hand, chasing Bart into the locker room area.

Hayes: I don’t think I’ve ever seen such a wild donnybrook before. As we’re set for some women’s action, it looks like I’m calling the action by myself. I hope Bad News doesn’t mind me finishing his alligator bites.

Susan Sexton vs Wendi Richter

As the match gets started, George “The Animal” Steele is seen walking through the crowd.
Hayes: That’s George Steele! One of the most unpredictable wrestlers of all time. Oh no, he’s coming this way. Richter with a dropkick as The Animal sits down next to me. George, what a pleasure it is having you out here me.
Steele: MINE!!!
Hayes: Um, well yes. Have you been enjoying tonight’s action?
Steele: MINE!!!
Hayes: Right. And now Sexton connects with a neckbreaker. It’s enough for the 3-count. Looks like Bad News is coming back out to join me at the commentary table. Thank you for helping me out, George.
Steele (leaving): MINE!!!
Brown: What the hell’s been going on out here, Hayes?
Hayes: The Animal joined me for some insightful commentary. Looks like it’s time to start our next match.


Aguila & Chavo Sr. vs John Tatum & Dennis Condrey
Mike McGuirk introduces both teams, and referee Jones starts us up. Chavo starts with Condrey, and surprises “Loverboy” Dennis with his speed. Several armdrags, a hiptoss, and a dropkick later, Condrey tags out to Tatum. Tatum with a poke to the eyes, but is too close to his opponents’ corner. Aguila tags himself in, and delivers a flying headscissors upon his entrance. Hurrancarana to Condrey sends him out of the ring. Aguila with a tope suicida to both men on the floor.

Brown: Hayes, what happened to my food?
Hayes: Must’ve been Steele . . .

Aguila dominates both men with his high-flying antics, but Tatum lands a big right hand to Chavo when he gets tagged back in. Condrey and Tatum decimate Chavo Sr. with double-team maneuvers, but can’t get the three count. Guerrero finally manages to get away from Tatum and makes the tag to Aguila. Dropkicks and right hands to both men. Chavo comes back in and throws Tatum to the floor. The deliver a double suplex to Condrey, and Aguila quickly goes to the top rope. He connects with a shooting star press for the 3!

Hayes: Good heavens, that was unbelievable!
Brown: The youngster was just too quick for the veterans. He really took it to them.
Hayes: Well, ladies and gentlemen, it’s time for our main event of the evening.


Main Event: Tony Atlas vs Great Kabuki (w/Sir Oliver Humperdink)

Jesse Hernandez checks both men, and Humperdink has words with the ref. Hernandez tells him to stay on the floor. Kabuki sprays green mist into the air, getting “oohs” from the fans. Atlas gives the double bicep pose, showing that he’ll not be intimidated by the martial arts master. Kabuki goes into his nunchaku display.

Brown: I don’t think I’ve ever seen Tony look so huge. The amount of time he spends in the gym is insane.
Hayes: He is very impressive. These two great veterans are staring each other down, but neither looks worried.

They lock up when the bell sounds, and Atlas throws the Japanese legend across the ring and poses some more. Humperdink whispers something to his charge. Another lock up, and Kabuki connects with a karate thrust to the throat, and a chop to the forehead. Atlas drops to a knee, and then to his back after Kabuki kicks him in the chest. Knee drop to the head is blocked by Atlas, who powers his way back to his feet, while holding Kabuki’s foot. Atlas pulls him in for a clothesline. Jumping headbutt, and Kabuki flees to the floor.

Hayes: Atlas has him on the run, Bad News.
Brown: He shouldn’t have let him get to the floor. He’s able to strategize with his manager now.

Humperdink gets on the ring apron to complain to the ref and Atlas goes after him. He gets his hands on Sir Oliver, when Kabuki lands a kick to the kidney area. Another throat thrust puts Atlas on the mat. Kabuki starts to wear Atlas down with a never hold, as Humperdink yells for Atlas to submit. Atlas struggles to his feet, but Kabuki kicks the back of Atlas’ right knee, sending him back down to the mat. Kabuki reapplies the nerve hold after sticking his fingers into his mouth. Atlas appears to be weakening.

Hayes: I think he’s got some substance on his fingers. It might be absorbing into the skin of Atlas.
Brown: You sound ridiculous, Alfred. This man is a world-class master of many forms of martial arts. He don’t need to use any kind of substance to help his moves.

The referee checks Atlas, raising his muscular arm once. It falls. Twice. It falls again. Hernandez lifts the arm for a third time, and it falls 3/4ths of the way, but Atlas comes back to life with the roar of the crowd. He manages to get to his feet again, and elbows Kabuki off of him. Body slam and a dropkick by Atlas has Kabuki stunned. Kabuki with a poke to the eye. He goes for the deadly thrust kick, but Atlas ducks, leaving the referee right in the line of fire. Kabuki and Atlas go toe-to-toe, trading chops and right hands. Humperdink strikes Atlas across the back with his cane and uses it to hold Atlas for Kabuki. Kabuki with a few chops to the head and throat, then he grabs his own throat. He sprays the green mist at Atlas, but Atlas breaks free and sidesteps it. Humperdink gets the full brunt of the mist, rolling to the floor screaming. Big right hands from Atlas and a Samoan drop. Atlas goes for a cover, but Hernandez is out cold. Press slam, and Robarb Jones runs out to the ring to make the pinfall count. Kabuki kicks out at two. Atlas is feeling it, looking to finish Kabuki off. He grabs hold of his opponent in a bearhug, squeezing Kabuki’s lower back with all his strength. Kabuki can’t withstand the pain and submits at 14:35. Atlas gets his hand raised in triumph, as Kabuki checks on his manager.

Brown: That was a great match. It could have gone either way, but Tony Atlas was the better man tonight.
Hayes: Right you are, Bad News. Fans, we hope you enjoyed watching this show as much as we have. We’ll see you in a few months time. For Bad News Brown, this is Lord Alfred Hayes. Have a great evening.
