IWA Presents: Black Friday

     



Location: Madison Square Garden, NYC










  Jim Ross: "Hello wrestling fans and Happy Holidays! We are coming into your homes, live from The Mecca..... Madison Square Garden in New York City as the IWA begins its road to Wrestle Kingdom here tonight with Black Friday! So grab some of that left over turkey and pumpkin pie and get ready for a huge night of professional wrestling!" 

  Jesse Ventura: "It looks like you may have had enough turkey and pie already Jim Ross!"            

  Jim Ross: "I can't help it Body....the only thing better than a good bar B que is some pumpkin pie on a Friday night! But nonetheless,  how about our Main event tonight? The top 6 men in the IWA will enter the demonic structure known as The Elimination Chamber. Where the winner will go on to Wrestle Kingdom in January to face the IWA World champion, Ric Flair! Who is your pick to win the Chamber match Jesse?" 

  Jesse Ventura: "MY original choice was the One Man Gang to win, but since he pulled out due to being in the world TV title Finals, I gotta go with Shawn Michaels. He's in there with five other big men, and I think his size and endurance will be the key to outlast them all."   

  Jim Ross: "Fans, we are going to crown the first ever IWA World TV champion a little later in the show. But right now we are going to find out who the #1 contender will be for that title and face the champion at Wrestle Kingdom! It's time to get to the ring!!"

  Match Ten: Stan Hansen vs Ric Flair for the IWA World title          

Before the match can begin, Zelina Vega leads Buddy Murphy into the ring and talks about the travesty it is that her man, "Wrestlings Best Kept Secret" isn't involved in any of tonight's matches. 



Zelina challenges whoever wins this match to face Murphy on next weeks WCW Nitro..Flair finds this comical and instead proposes that he get to kiss Zelina for good luck here, and guarantees she’ll never look at another man again. She says she’s “game,” accepts the kiss, then smacks him in the face and leaves with Buddy Murphy!

With Flair riled up and pissy, he goes at Hansen to start, but winds up backdropped and press slammed in short order. Hansen just wearing Flair out early, hyped up himself and in control. Flair flopping and flipping around, eating elbows to the top of the head. Camera man gets clipped on the apron and Flair can’t complete the flip at the turnbuckles.

Sleephold! Flair eventually gets out going to the eyes.

Flair slows the pace down and takes it to Hansen, targeting the arm, and taking every shortcut presented. He does NOT want to go toe-to-toe with Hansen and rightly so. Hansen is able to back Flair down when they get on even ground. Straight up fist-fighting, Hansen hits Flair with two rights, then a series of jabs, dancing around like a boxer, then clobbers Flair down with another right hand between the eyes.

Hansen cools it down after that, holding Ric down in a hammerlock. He tries to roll Flair into a pin, but can’t do it, so he stands it back up.

Flair takes it to the mat, using the ref being out of position to choke Hansen out. The choke wears Hansen down significantly, and Flair has control for real for the first time. Ric delivers a piledriver, gets two, and goes for the figure four. Hansen tries to cradle him, gets two.

Hansen gets the figure four instead, but Flair gets the bottom rope, screaming all the while. AHHHH GOD! Hansen gets Flair up and hits another press slam. Hansen hits the Lariat!!!1......2..... But once again Flair gets to the ropes. His ring positioning has been saving him all night. Flair begging for mercy at this point, not getting any, but he outfoxes Hansen in the end, bridging a back suplex with a foot on the bottom rope for the win.






Jim Ross: "And that's why they call Ric Flair the "Dirtiest Player in the Game! He took a beating from Hansen there and still found a way to break the rules to maintain possession of the IWA World title. And now he awaits our next match..... the main event.....it's the Elimination Chamber to see who he will defend the title against at Wrestle Kingdom!"        





Kerry Von Erich, Big Van Vader, Shawn Michaels, and Hulk Higan all make their respective entrances and are placed in their individual pods. Which means only one thing.....Steve Austin and The Rock will start this match off
