HERCULES HERNANDEZ w/Jimmy Hart v BIG BUBBA ROGERS w/Paul E. Dangerously
Paul E. comes to the ring with Bubba, and Paul shakes hands with Jimmy and Hercules, and then pats Bubba on the back, and gives Hart and Hernandez the ‘thumbs up’ and as Bubba just stares at Paul E.! Fans what is going on here? Hercules hands Jimmy his chain. The bell rings, Hercules approaches Bubba, and offers his hand . . BUBBA GLARES AT HIM! Hercules tries to engage Bubba, then chest slaps him, Bubba no sells, so Hercules slaps his face! Bubba still stares at him, so Hercules off the ropes, and HE CLOTHESLINES HIM ACROSS THE CHEST, AND BUBBA STAGGERS BACK, HITS THE ROPE, BUT BOUNCES OFF AND STAGGERS IN FRONT OF HERCULES, AND THEY ARE BELLY TO BELLY, NOSE TO NOSE as at ringside Jimmy Hart is pleading with Paul!
Hercules, frustrated, reaches down, and goes for a body slam on Bubba . . . lifts Bubba off one leg, NO, BUBBA SANDBAGS HIM! Hercules bounces off the ropes, then goes for the bodyslam, he lifts Bubba further . . . .
.
.
.
BUBBA REACHES UNDER HERCULES BELLY, AND POWERSLAMS THE STRONGMAN!
At ringside, Jimmy is still arguing with Paul, who backs off and walks off to the dressing room! Paul has no answers for Jimmy!
Eric: “Whatever deal Paul E. had with Jimmy Hart has apparently gone South, Tony, Bubba is here to WIN AND CHALLENGE FOR THE AWF WORLD TITLE!
Bubba with the cover, 1----2------HERCULES KICKS OUT! He throws lefts, rights and kicks at Bubba, Bubba covers up in the corner, then WAM POW LEFT HAND RIGHTS FROM BUBBA ON HERCULES! DOWN GOES HERNANDEZ!
WAIT! JIMMY ON THE APRON, DISTRACTING BUBBA, BUBBA GOES OVER TO HIM, AND GRABS HART BY THE LAPELS, THROWS HIM IN THE RING! The ref argues with Hart ordering him out of the ring as Bubba menaces the minute manager allowing Hercules to grab his chain Hart threw under the rope, AND HITS Bubba on the back of the head, Bubba goes down, Hercules covers Bubba, the ref counts . . . .1……
THE ref sees the chain, and stops the count, grabs it and questions Hercules and Jimmy as Bubba slowly recovers! The ref throws the chain out and Bubba goes to the ref and remonstrates he was hit on the back of the head to the ref, this allows the clever Hercules to knee him in the back, and the ref throws the chain away and counts: 1------2------
BUBBA GETS HIS FOOT ON THE ROPES! But Hercules takes advantage and kicks and punches and stomps Bubba, and scores near fall after near fall on a weakened Bubba, often with the assistance and distraction of Jimmy Hart!
Hercules then shoots Bubba off to the ropes, goes for a clothesline, but WAIT:

“Paul: “Gentlemen, let’s get to brass tacks. Nick Bockwinkel of the Champions League has made it clear: either of you gentlemen will become the next member of his stable, if you are the one that acts first. So let’s be blunt: which one of you two will be the first to screw the other one first?
Warrior: “LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING PAUL E. DANGEROUSLY! I would never betray my friend Sid Vicious for moneeeeeey!!!!
Sid: “Hold up a s second, hold up a second Warrior, take a look at yourself! First it was this expensive jewelry. The past few cards, you drove up in an expensive car. And now look, this fancy new suit. I can’t help but to ask . . . .The Champions League has a LOT of money . . . where are you getting the money for all this fancy stuff?
Paul: “That’s a fair question Ultimate Warrior!
Warrior: “Sid Vicious I will be straight up with you as I always have been since we started our partnership. The fact is just like you I was not born with a silver spoon in my mouth, but thanks to our hard work we have both achieved a phenomenal level of success here in the AWF thanks to these great fans! We are different people Sid Vicious and I know you have taken the money you have made here in AWF and invested your money in investments and real estate. I have done the same, but please excuse me if I have spent some of my new won fortune into some nice clothes and jewelry because these are things that never came easy to the Ultimate Warrior in the past and I see these as status symbols of pride!
“So no Sid Vicious, this jewelry and suit are not from any so-called payoff from Nick Bockwinkel, but were earned, and DESERVED to me from my . . . . .OUR success in the ring!
Paul: “Sid? Sounds like a reasonable explanation to me, but can you trust this man at Friday Night at the Matches versus The Chef and the Lethal Weapon, let alone the Champions League at Wrestle Rock?
Sid: “Paul E. Dangerously, I can see now the only reason you brought us out here was to cause TROUBLE!
Paul: “No! No sir! Please no trouble!
Sid: “Ultimate Warrior, you will continue to be my friend, and I APOLOGIZE if I in any way disparaged you!
SID AND PAUL SHAKE HANDS, THEN GLARE AT PAUL!

Nick: “HAHAHAHAHAHA, if anyone thinks things are settled between Sid Vicious and Ultimate Warrior as we approach Wrestle Rock they are kidding themselves! Why, I predict they won’t be able to keep things together at Friday Night at the Matches! The bottom line gentlemen is the offer to join the Champions League is too good to turn down, at some point, either Sid Vicious or Ultimate Warrior will need to look in the mirror, and even if they DON’T want to be part of the Champions League, one of these young wrestlers have to wonder what they will be giving up if they let their partner take the advantage over them? Remember Warrior and Sid, once one of you take the offer, its rescinded for the other, we only have room for one of you HAHAHAHA!
