Bond Brigade versus Tuesday Night Rockers and Doc Mid-Nite
As “Walk This Way” played over the Cheese-O-Tron speakers, the Tuesday Night Rockers, along with Doc Mid-Nite, came to the ring. The crowd went wild as James Fantastic, Tommy Savitz, and Big T hyped up the crowd while Doc Mid-Nite stalked around the ring as if he was taking inventory of something.
Then “Rooster” started up and the members of the Bond Brigade came to the ring. It was obvious that El Daga was not missed, as the addition of Hombre Lagarto seemed to galvanize the team. Ian Bond led the team to the ring and immediately both teams decided to let their captains start the match. The bell rang and Chris Oakley and James Fantastic faced off.
James Fantastic had the speed advantage and used it to keep Chris off-guard with chops, kicks, and quick moves. James employed a series of quick tags to each of his Tuesday Night Rocker teammates, noticeably keeping Doc Mid-Nite out of the fight. While this kept one of their men fresh, it backfired slightly when Chris Oakley was able to reverse Big T’s attempt at a Tommy-Slam (choke slam) to hit a modified Kill ‘Em All that stunned Big T long enough for Chris to hit his Full Metal Jacket and get the first pin. Big T was the first man eliminated!
Tommy Savitz entered the ring, prepared for battle. At the insistence of Hombre Lagarto, Chris tagged him in. As the Luchador locked up with the Surgeon, the crowd seemed distracted from the match-up. It became clear why when El Daga came out of the crowd and attacked his former partner, Senor Perdicion, bashing him over the head with a long wooden cane.
Marcum: El Daga’s whacking Senor Perdicion like he’s one big piñata!!!
Senor Perdicion fell to the ring floor and El Daga continued to assault him until security was able to intervene, arrest El Daga, and call the EMTs. Senor Pedicion would be unable to compete in the match.
Back in the ring, Ian Bond was working over Tommy Savitz with a mix of brawling and martial arts when Doc Mid-Nite, who seemed to have had enough of spinning his wheels, jumped in the ring and blind-sided Ian Bond. Mid-Nite tossed Savitz to his corner and then resumed his attack on Ian Bond. A “Lethal Dose” DDT followed an “Attitude Adjustment” spine-buster. As Ian Bond lay unconscious in the center of the ring, Doc Mid-Nite climbed to the top of the farthest corner and hit his “Long Kiss Goodnight” to get the pin and the second elimination. Obviously running on pure adrenaline, Doc tossed Ian over the top rope to the ring floor where he lay unmoving.
Chris, stunned by the loss of two teammates, went to Ian’s side and called for the EMTs again. Meanwhile, Hombre Lagarto entered the match again as James Fantastic tagged Doc Mid-Nite out of the ring. The two cruiserweights battled back and forth while Chris Oakley watched his manager get carted out of the ring on a stretcher. Chris went back to his corner in time to see Hombre Lagarto struggling to make a tag, clearly the victim of Savitz’ and Fantastic’s tag assault. Hombre Lagarto managed to get mere inches away from his corner when Doc Mid-Nite ran in and slugged Chris Oakley, sending Chris to the ring floor. Mid-Nite went after him as Tommy Savitz and James Fantastic went back to work on Hombre Lagarto. The Tuesday Night Rockers delivered two round of Rough Justice on the Luchador and got the third elimination as Doc Mid-Nite slid Chris Oakley into the ring. The Rockers moved in to finish Oakley off, but Doc-Midnite made it clear that Chris was HIS to finish. The Rockers stepped back and Doc Mid-Nite delivered three consecutive Blackout Bombs to get the final elimination before he slipped out of the ring and made his way to the back, leaving Tommy Savitz and James Fantastic to celebrate in the ring.
