Brett lauderdale really wants to catch these hands how are you going to put three really good wrestlers in a match and then do it again

[mayhemproduces]

As Bishop and Blade approach the ring, Blade already twirling her baseball bat in hand, the Rejects are already waiting for their opponents, light tubes in hand, begging the Shooters to bring it on. Rip City obliges, drops their belts, and charge the ring, and Tom Dunn sensing that this thing is about to break down quick, calls for the bell, we have a championship match underway here! Akira swings the tube at Blade, who intercepts and SHATTERS it with her bat, and JWM connects with the light tube on Bishop, but it seems to have very little actual effect! Bishop simply powers through it, and decks Murdoch with a stiff forearm, as Blade nails Akira in the gut with the head of the bat, before smashing it over the back of Akira, dropping Akira to his knees, and causing him to roll out of the ring. Blade follows, going right after Akira, and continuing to swing the bat with ruthless aggression. Back in the ring, Bishop and JWM continue to trade huge shots back and forth with one another, two big men just putting all of their might into wailing on each other here in the early going! Bishop was the taller of the two men by a considerable amount, but Murdoch has a lot of muscle, and a lot of power in him. The two behemoths locked up again, this time with Bishop throwing Murdoch right to the ground! Manhandling The Duke here early! Bishop bounced on the balls of his feet, grinning from ear to ear, telling Murdoch to bring it on, as Murdoch huffed in frustration, and got himself back up to his feet.

Murdoch got back up and managed to catch Bishop in the gut with a kick, before pulling Josh Bishop into a headlock, trying to squeeze down on the head of the large Absolute Champion and disorient him some. Bishop manages to get his foot on the back of Murdoch’s leg, and switch over, trapping Murdoch in a headlock instead, all the while Wes Barkley can be heard on the outside, antagonizing The Rejects and rooting on JB. Murdoch manages to send Bishop off the ropes, but on the rebound, Bishop drops Murdoch with a huge shoulder block, taking a second to pound his chest, firing himself up even more. Bishop hits the ropes again, and Murdoch drops down in front of him the first time, but as Murdoch gets back up, he’s unprepared as Bishop levels him with another shoulder block! It had been all Joshua Bishop here in the early going of this one, and Murdoch looks a little lost here early!

Bishop drops down for the cover.

1…2.. Broken up!

Akira managed to ditch Blade at some point, and get back into the ring, smashing a light tube over Bishop to break the pin! Bishop is momentarily stunned, long enough for Akira to grab another, place it on Bishop’s back, and crush it with a huge Scorpion Kick! Bishop has glass shatter into his back, as he rolls onto it, arching his back and trying to pick the glass from his back. Akira drops down for a cover.

1…2… Broken up!

Blade slides in and catches Akira across the back with the bat to break up the pin! Akira is then pulled up to his knees, and choked by Blade with the bat across the throat! Murdoch gets back to his feet, and catches Blade with a right hand, saving his partner, before whipping Blade into the corner, charging in, and crushing Blade with a corner clothesline! JWM then grabs one of the chairs that was left on the apron, and drives it into Blade’s gut, before raising the chair up, and bringing it down across Blade’s back! Blade drops to her knees, clutching her back, and JWM turns around to go after Bishop again, but turns right around into a Pump Kick from Bishop! Murdoch’s head is taken off, and Bishop drops into the cover!

1… Kickout!

A quick kickout there by Murdoch, but he’d need to find a way back into this one before Bishop’s advantage ballooned even further. Murdoch crawls to the corner, but Bishop catches him with a kick to the ribs, before picking Murdoch up, and blasting him with a straight right hand to the head, dazing Murdoch further. Bishop whips Murdoch across the ring, sending Murdoch hard into the turnbuckle, but as Bishop charges in after him, Murdoch gets the foot up, sending Bishop stumbling backwards in a daze. Murdoch then reaches for a Bundle of Light Tubes, Swings them, and smashes them over Joshua Bishop! Bishop stumbled backwards, blood pouring down his face, but still on his feet. Murdoch gets back up, and sets the chair up, before grabbing Bishop, and DDT’ing Bishop down onto the chair! Head first goes Joshua Bishop! Cover!

1….2.. Kickout!

Bishop out at two! Murdoch gets up, and signals to Akira to go up top, as Murdoch tries to hold Bishop down, but before Akira does that, he begins looking around the ring for something specific before he does, eventually finding what he was looking for under the ring- a bundle of light tubes on the end of a stick. Akira begins climbing to the top rope, before putting the tube bundle on his back, measuring, and leaping off the top…

But before Akira can crash down on Bishop with the tube bundle senton, Bishop pulls JWM in the way, and Akira crashes down on Murdoch, the tube bundle shattering between both Rejects! Akira gets up, his entire back full of glass at this point, and stumbles around, right into Joshua Bishop, before being lifted up and driven down with a Black Hole Slam! Bishop covers!

1…2… Broken up!

JWM breaks the pin, but Blade quickly jumps on his back and locks in a Kirfurda Clutch! The Duke is fading fast, and Blade feeling it quickly transitions him over to front position, hooking his arm, and lifting him up, planting him with The Bitter End! The Duke is down and out, and Blade is rolling to the outside, digging around under the ring, until she finds what she’s looking for: A table! Blade gets the table into the ring and set up as Bishop grabs JWM, lifts him up, and puts him through the table with a Bishop Bomb! Game over Rejects! Cover!

1….2…3!

“Here are your winners, and STILL MPW World Tag Team Champions, The Rip City Shooters!”
