Grudge Match
Chris Oakley vs. Tommy "The Surgeon" Savitz
"Lyla" blasts over the speakers as Tommy Savitz and his wife Terri head down to the ring wearing matching "I'm Your Papi" T-shirts; next to them, Arnold Judas Rimmer, in a "Cheat 2 Win" T-shirt, sees a fan holding a "ROCKERS RULE!!" sign, and gives him a quick salute before he and Terri exit the ring.
Moments later, as "Rooster" bursts out over the PA speakers, Chris Oakley rushes to the ring in a "Latino Heat" T-shirt and tries to deck Savitz, only to have "The Surgeon" kick him in the gut. The Surgeon, in turn, tries to put Chris in a DDT, only to wind up on the wrong end of a DDT himself. After that, the two combatants put on an amazing technical display, each trying to get one another to tap out, but neither man is willing to quit...

Marcum: I hope not-- my car's double-parked!
Chris quickens the pace, and sends Tommy to the ropes. Tommy bounces off and runs back to Chris, who jumps over him. Chris grabs Savitz again and fires him back into the ropes for the Lock and Load. However, Arnold Rimmer jumps up onto the ring apron, and distracts Oakley. Oakley pauses, allowing the Surgeon to turn the tables on him and lays him out flat with the Anaesthetist. He follows up with the Operating Table and the Scalpelplex, completing his own version of the Three Amigos. Finally, Tommy climbs to the top turnbuckle....

Marcum: Am I seeing what I think I'm seeing?!
Monroe: Yeah...the Surgeon is about to deliver Eddie Guerrero's famous Frog Splash on Chris Oakley!!!
Chris Oakley is able to lift his knees as Tommy Savitz connects. Both men are lying on the mat. Chris is semi-conscious and Tommy is writhing in pain. As the ref starts the ten count, Chris rolls to his hands and knees, shakes off the cobwebs, and crawls to where Tommy has started to get up. Chris locks in Snuff The Rooster. Tommy tries to crawl to the ropes, but Chris has the sleeper hold locked tight. Inches away from the ropes, it looks like Tommy will succumb to Chris' finisher...until Arnold Judas Rimmer gets up onto the mat and starts shouting to Tommy. Chris glares at Rimmer as the ref raises Tommy's hand. It drops, and Rimmer turns his attention to Oakley, verbally assaulting him, his skills, and his team. Chris' eyes flare and, as Tommy's arm drops a second time, he breaks the hold and goes after Rimmer.

Monroe: What's he doing? He has this match won?
Marcum: The fruitcake's costing himself the win! He's lost it!!!
Chris rolls out of the ring and starts chasing Rimmer, screaming abuses of his own. Rimmer keeps his distance, but also glances to Tommy Savitz, who is in the process of ewcovering from the sleeper hold. Finally, satisfied that his wrestler has fully recovered, Rimmer jumps into the crowd. Oakley hears the ref count "eight", slides into the ring...and into the waiting Surgeon's Knife of Tommy Savitz. Chris struggles to break the hold but has nowhere to go and eventually taps out. "Lyla" starts again, and Tommy meets up with Arnold Judas Rimmer at the base of the ramp. As they walk up to the back, they hear Chris Oakley screaming at them, "This isn't over, chumps! I'll take you out by the end of the night, Rimmer!!!"
