whatsoever. ml: you mean they don't likeeach other? ja: that's exactly what i mean.ml:i'm catching on, aren't i? ja: yeah, slowly. painfullyslowly. ml: is marcus malone getting ina little better shape? i'm going to be honest here,he's looking a little bit a little bit bigger!ja: because he was in really bad shape for a long time, right? ml: you know what i mean! i'mtrying to
throw the kid a compliment, andyou're actually turning it around into anon-compliment! ja: what i'm saying is marcusmalone has always been in great shape. yes! he'slooking like he's in ever-improving shape. right now, he and mikey o'shea have been trainingtogether, they've been spendinga lot of time together. mikey o'shea,a former tag team champion. multiple time
tag champ. former legacychampion. this guy has been one-on-one with the wrecking crew so long that the wrecking, well someone, has offered - it seemed to bethe wrecking crew quite some time. but there's a bounty out on whocan take mikey o'shea out of professional wrestling.ml: i have no idea where thatmoney's coming from either!
ja: i'm sure you don't!ml: not a clue! by the way, while marcus malonelooks like he's getting in better shape, mikey o'sheahas been eating too much irishfood. too much corned beef and cabbage look at him!ja: maybe a little bit of someof our fantastic sponsors you have some of the greatestfood i've ever eaten! voodoo doughnut, brunch box,pita pit! sparky's pizza!
some of our great friends,brunch box! ml: and somebody brought me a piece of sparky's pizza! i'vegot to look at it, i can't eat and talk at the sametime. ja: you can go ahead andeat that would be fine.ml: oh you got a piece too,what flavor did you get? ja: looks like i've got somesausage and bacon! and not that canadian stuff, real bacon!what a clothesline! by mikey o'shea
nothing would mean more to mikey o'shea than a victory over the wrecking crew leading to a shot at the tagteam titles! look at theathleticism of the irish juggernaught! kassius koonz, excuse me, the white trash iconoclast! ml: yes, be sure and read allthese when you describe himnext time! i will allow you the priviledgeof doing that.
ja: oh gee, thanks!ml: i know all those names you need to learn them. ja: grappler iii tags out...ml: grappler! ja: now the grappler, thegrappler, this grappler here in thewrecking crew five time former wcwc tag team champion. no one has held tag team gold more often than the grappler.ml: what's his current title?
ja: right now, it is his third pacific northwest championshipreign. look at marcus malone, goingafter kassius koonz! it was a coupleweeks ago that marcus malone, who was thewinner in the inaugural "grappler's cup" at the wcwc grappler's pro wrestling academy and kassius koonz, the first
runner up, second place, just afew weeks ago marcus malone finallygot sick of that ever growing trophy, and put usall out of its misery.ml: excuse me, it was a beautiful trophy! ja: oh yeah, really...ml: it was gorgeous!beautifully shaped, nice height! ja: i'd put it in the top 90% rubbish of all trophies i'veever seen. ml: wow. how do you really feel?
ja: if you guys understand thatreference, it's @jefftakin on twitter go ahead and give me a thumbsup! ml: i'll give you a thumbs down! ja: i'd be very happy to getany of your thumbs. marcus malone setting him up we've seen him with this monkeyflip a number of times, maybetoo many times! as kassius koonz reverses it sets him up in the corner
dangerous dangerous spot! ml: this doesn't look good formalone! ja: up, over! crashes down into the mat. ml: people think that mat issoft, not soft at all! you ever land of course you landed with yourone time in wrestling, you landed a number of times onyour back on the canvas. ja: landed on my head at leastonce on that one.
ml: yeah well that didn't helpany. maybe it did help?ja: now kassius koonz the one true son of the south look at that! this is absolutely devastating stretching the pectoral musclesof marcus malone using those ropes for a littlebit of extra leverage! took the referee a little whileto catch it, but finally did.
ml: he was stretching! doing alittle back stretching to get thatback in better shape so he could put malone away. you and i just don't see thesame thing. you're as bad as kloss, as bad as tk was, youall don't see what's really happening oncamera! ja: being in the club with toddkeneley and kris kloss is a club that i am honored tobe a part of or be mentioned in.
the one club that marcus malonemight not be proud of right now is that hairclub! as kassius koonz, the titan of tennessee ml: another good one there,jeff akin. ja: using that hair to pull himback up to his feet, malone has been fighting thegood fight but kassius koonz seems to have his number.
ml: that was beautiful, jeffakin! even you need to admit that wasa beautiful move! you bet, jeremyblanchard, that was a greatmove! what's o'shea doing in here now? he didn't tag in! kk: i'm the thrillbilly! crowd: boo! egg-sucking dog! [crowd chants]
ja: koonz brings him up! drops him down! koonz getting in the face going to grappler iii ml: grappler!ja: sorry, grappler! making the tag, and ladies andgentlement, we will keep you up to date! we'll be right back, we have totake a break! and we'll be back as soon aspossible!
ja: and we're back, the assaulton marcus malone has continued through the break. up till now one thing grappler is, he's been known over the years as "wrestlingexcellence" and he's showing marcus maloneexactly why, but there's no reason forthis! ml: he's clearing up hissinuses! you've never seen thatone either have you?
ja: no! ha!ml: i don't know where you'vebeen! you've been gone, we haven'tworked together for a while andi appreciate you filling in forkris, but that's the "sinus issue remover"! ja: yeah, i think you and ihave very different health plans. very different.ml: yeah, i pay for mine. you're probably on the state's health plan.ja: well if i was it's a fantastic state plan.one of the best in the entire
nation.ml: do you pay for it? ja: my healthcare is handled by people other than...ml: in other words, no. ja: other than the tax payers. ml: the king of cool, jeremyblanchard, out here just kind ofsurveying, not getting involved of course. just making sure that this match continues in a proper efficient, professional
legal manner.ja: yeah, i'm sure that's all jeremy blanchard isdoing. ml: i'm glad you'reagreeing. ja: especially while kassiuskoonz, the blunt county conquistador!ml: there you go! got another one right!ja: i did! starts to take a little bit of a beating!marcus malone trying to fight back and once again koonz able to slow him down. and that huge forearm rightacross the
back of marcus malone. marcus malone using that speed, but koonz, a little bitof his own ducks out of the way malone needs to make a tag inthe worst possible way.ml: i kind of like seeing himin the ring getting beat up, frankly. so, doesn't want to tag, hedoesn't have to from my books. mystandpoint.
i can live with it.ja: i don't know if its aquestion of wanting to, its a question of him beingable to! notice the ring positioning,even as kassius koonz goes down, marcusmalone has to get past him to get to mikey o'shea. you can see right there o'shea's got his hand out, buthe's got his eye on the other corner! he wantsto know
exactly what he's going to bestepping into the ring to. and he's got kassius koonz, the corn-fedcolossus! that big spinebuster comes up, but he's taking on the pacificnorthwest champion as well! ml: he's taking on everybody! if you were in there, he'd takeyou on too, probably!
ja: probably would, that's oneof the many reasons i'm not in there rightnow. oh my goodness! when someonethat big comes off the top rope, youbetter be out of the way! kassius koonz got it all, butif it weren't for the grappler if it weren't for the grappler malone and o'shea would be ontheir way to a tag team title shot right now!
look at the strength of kassius koonz up and over with mikey o'shea! he's 6'5" and he's on tv! a shootin' thrillin' and aimin' pleasin' ml: don't give up your day job
to be a country singer, mr.akin. ja: it's not country. ml: what was it? ja: it was me singing...ml: uh oh uh oh! ja: here we go! koonz up!ml: uh oh! no! ja: koonz down! gunslinger! hooks that far leg! and mikey o'shea with the win! ra: your winners and number one contenders!
mikey o'shea and ja: kassius koonz had his eyes set on marcus malone and wasdoing everything he could to put him down. mikeyo'shea was able to capitalize, andnow, those two men right there will be takingon the bonus boys for their shot at the wcwc
tag team titles. still to come, we have aspecial statement from the legacy champion ethan hd. after his odd and successful title defense in the laddermatch and of course, our main eventtonight: matt striker takes on adamthornstowe ladies and gentlement, oh!
ml: there's something going onhere with the wrecking crew. i'm not liking what i'm seeing.the grappler's angry with koonz. the king ofcool, jeremy blanchard's not happyeither. something's going on here, jeffakin. ja: well the wrecking crew never one to keep their cardstoo close to the vest, so i'm sure we'll behearing more right here
on the west coast wrestlingconnection. co: ladies and gentlemen,please welcome your west coast wrestling connection legacy champion ethan hd! [ethan hd theme music] co: ethan, now that you are the champ...kc: ethan and... co: ethan and kate.
ehd: there you go!co: now that you are the champion, here at the wc, what's next for you? ehd: it's simple. pure dominance. alright, let's be real. thislocker room is ♪basicaf and i am ethan hd
i'm the most dominant champion... kc: excuse me? what is this? go back! no way! tell him it's not happening! ehd: i know what you want. i know you want a piece of me.
and i know more than anything,you want this. you've tasted it. you want itagain. well you know what? you're not worthy! g: why don't you put up or shutup! ml: title match, i assume? jeff akin, how did this happen? i have no idea!ja: we've got a referee outhere. my call sheet on here just has
an interview with ethan hd andkate carney. there's no match scheduledright now! ml: no, so this would be...whatever. they're angry! real angry! gangrel is, oh!ja: i'm getting... ml: what is it? what are youhearing? ja: i have word fromthe back this is an official sanctionedmatch. it is not... ml: it is nontitle? ok. ja: it is non-title. legacy championship not on theline!
ml: sanctioning obviously justcame from the powers that be in the back room. ja: could have been ashort-lived celebration for ethan hd, that was an incredible laddermatch. the vampire warrior coming out looking to make short work ofethan hd! ref: two! ja: title not on the line, justrespect
and i think gangrel looking tobeat a little bit of respect intothe legacy champion. ml: it will be difficult. ethan is a very respectful humanbeing. look, i mean, he would never do anything to harm animals! ja: uh, have you seen his coat? ml: that's not an animal coat!it's a... it's a... i'm not sure whatit is. ja: it's a cow.
ml: oh, it's a cow?ja: yeah, leather comes fromanimals... ml: maybe it's an imitationcow, therefore it's imitationleather. ja: i doubt the chi-town urban emperor is going to wearimitation anything. look at gangrel, down on hisknees literally fighting fromunderneath yet finding... well i was goingto say finding a way to take down the legacychampion. but ethan hd!
ml: he's a champ for a reason and has been off and on, howmany times? from tag team, we'veestablished his past. ja: quite the title lineage. and ethan hd, here in the westcoast wrestling connection, but so isthe same for gangrel, the vampirewarrior, former legacy champion. he hastasted that legacy gold before, and alsotag team gold.
and the pacific northwestchampionship! ml: i wonder how it tasted? ja: well, teeth like that iimagine he's got a better shotat finding out than we do! ml: you could use some dentalwork... but yeah, you're right. you know vampires can use a good dentist now andthen. ja: yeah, i imagine so. kate carney, right there
getting a... ml: it's a lovely shot of her! ja: any shot of kate carneyis... ml: beautiful woman! ja: ...is a beautiful shot, i'mnot going to argue with that. but it's not her beauty thatmakes her so incredible, it's her mind, it'sher strategy. he has set all herclients up, ethan hd and the bonus boys, into championship positions!
ml: i kind of like her beauty, frankly. if i have achoice. i'll look at her beauty any dayof the week. 24/7 absolutely.ja: 7? 727 ml: 7 24/7, that's a doubleweek. that's over time. 80 hours. ja: gangrel's fought many wars. he and ethan hd no strangers. two count rightthere!
...to each other whatsoever. they know each other very well,having fought in both singles and tag team contests against each other. ml: they know each other well,but i'm laying odds they haven't partied muchtogether. ja: i don't doubt that, i'mgoing to agree with you on thatone. ml: you agree with something isaid? ja: well yeah, i justdon't think kate carney's going to invitesomeone like gangrel
to any party she's going tothrow for ethan hd. ml: good point. although both are blonde. shelikes blonde. ja: ethan hd is blonde. i don'tknow that she likes blondes. i thinkwhat she likes is gold! because she's got a lot of itin the tag team gold and legacy gold! but you've got to imagine,morty lipschitz, if somehow gangrel is able todefeat
the legacy champion, here inthis non-title contest, you've got to imagine he's going to be given a titleshot! ml: that's up to the management i assume, at the west coastwrestling connection. ja: i would assume so, but... kind of putting it out thereinto the universe. i think fair is fair. if youcan pin the champion seems to me that you earn
a shot at that champion andtheir gold. ml: and you're assuming he canpin the champion! ja: well inever said that. i think i said a big "if he wins"ml: ok just want to clarify. ja: but of the two competitors,only one is moving under their own power rightnow. and that's the vampire warrior. ml: that's because the vampirewarrior is hanging on to ethan hd for dear life!
ja: both in a very dangerous position. they should both beholding on for dear life. there are twoways to get down and they're not going for thesafe one, my goodness! ml: oh! i could feel that overhere at the announce booth! many feet away from the ring,and it's still vibrating! shaking... ja: yeah, that's what that was.ml: or vibrating...
ja: let's go with "shaking"ml: you want to go with"shaking"? ja: yeah, well i go withshaking all the time, they callme jeff akin, shakin', akin'... ml: shaken jeff akin, there wego... a new moniker for you,"shakin'" jeff akin. ja: i'm not fakin' my name isjeff akin, i love bacon, especially when it's onsparky's pizza! look! almost a 450 there by the legacy champion, ethan hd!gangrel
able to get out of the way,this could be the opportunity he's looking for. impaler! in the center of the ring! two, three! ra: ladies and gentlement, thewinner of your match-up, the vampire warrior gangrel! ja: gangrel wins the
match, but does not win thechampionship title. title was not on the line. in our main event tonight, nochampionship on the line either, just selfrespect! stay tuned to see matt strikerand adam thornstowe here on the wcwc!

right! ja: gentleman brawler, ericright a competitor who's got a lot on his mind right now an incredible showing one weekago in the very first ladder matchin the history of the wcwc. now... taking on the rock god. er: put em up!
ricky gibson, you call yourselfa rock god? and yet i stand before you a mere man. but! a man that is double tough! ready to take the fight to you! and show you what being a realgentleman is all about. put em up! ja: big opportunity for the rock god, ricky gibson.
taking on the former legacychampion eric right. and it's importantto note, we said it last week, but ericright, the only grandslam winner in the history of the wcwc. lightning division championship, tag team championship, legacychampionship, and pacific northwest...ml: but jeff akin! what championship is hecarrying at this moment
in time?ja: well, none whatsoever. you know, i still have a lot ofquestions about what we sawlast week in that ladder match. a fan, obviously what looked tobe a fan of eric right's, got up out of the seat that hewas kind enough to buy a ticket for through our social media @thewcwc can check out events out on squadup.com
got a ticket on there, came,paid his money, watched theshow, everything was great, then got up and grabbed the ladder! was taken out, i understand lawenforcement was called. but as a result of that, ethanhd was able to go up, grab that legacychampionship belt, remains the champion. and now, looks like he hassomething to prove going after ricky gibson!
proving there's more than oneway to skin a cat! ml: oh, that's good. have youever skinned a cat in real life?ja: no. well actually i did! in highschool...ml: they make a lot of noise.ja: wow! in high school human biology they didn't make much noise atall... ml: well in that case,nevermind...
we're going down a street we shouldn't be traveling. ja: let's just put it this way,in this match-up you couldn't swing a dead catwithout hitting a former champion, or somebodywith championship potential writtenall over them... oh! the gentleman brawler goingafter janice! i don't know if that'sthe smartest possible thing he could do!
ml: maybe he's been knocked onhis head too many times.drinking too much of his grandma's tonic,and maybe it's having an adverse affect on even him! ja: over time, maybe. it buildsup in the system? rolls him up! got him in the corner! ml: janice saved him rightthere. ja: that's what your true loveis supposed
to do for you. and look at that! gibson going after eric right! it'snot a question of trying to win a match at this point. he'sjust trying to get back at him for putting his hands on janice! ml: well that, as i mentioned,i believe it was last week there's... gibson has not been on a great winning streaklately. i think he's gotsomething to prove. a win over a former
triple crowner, as you like tosay in the personage of ericright... ja: wait, wait, woah woah! morty lipschitz...ml: theres... ja: this guy bought a ticket aweek ago, came in, got involved in the match-up,why... ml: in his hands, look what'sin his hand! there's something...ja: he just took... ml: wait a minute here!ja: he just swapped out
the tonic. why?ml: he swapped out the tonic. ja: how is security... are wethe only ones watching this? ml: apparently. ja: so what? now all of asudden a fan can just uh...ml: but how did he get into theback area that's what i'm not sure of,where is security tonight? i mean, i don't care if ericright
wins or loses, i really don't,but this is out of fairness, thereis something weird going on here with this guy.ja: well here's a guy a fan... who comes out and costs eric right that ladder match, arguably cost him the legacychampionship. ml: but do we know he's reallya fan? he came in from the wrestler'sentrance which makes no sense, andnobody seems to care
on the security staff here,jeff. ja: i think we're going to waitand see if security can handle this. inthe meantime, ricky gibson taking full advantage i would say full advantage withthe distraction, but i don't think anybody butus saw that guy come out here! eric right in a bad way in the middle of the ring. the rock god getting ready to
hit that guitar solo, coming in second turnbuckle on the inside- drops an elbow! but eric right moves out of the way at thelast second! ml: he's going for the tonic, but...ja: but what is it? is it even tonic?ml: you and i saw something going on here, and... oh boy!ja: that could be some seagram 7 for all we know!ml: oh i'd love it!
he's looking at it kind offunny like, wait a minute! ja: he's taking it all in! apparently it's got the rightflavor! i can't smell anything. itdoesn't have the potency. not doing anything he sets him up! hits him withthe power ballad! ricky gibson pulls the win!ml: yes sir! ra: the winner, the rock god
ricky gibson! ja: big win for the rock god, ricky gibson, but mortylipschitz... this is the second week in a row this guy's come out and costeric right a match. messed with his tonic. wasthere something in there? did he poison him? i don't know what's happening.
eric right just as confused,probably more confused! ml: looking at his bottle like,is this really my bottle? ja: i'm getting word right now that christy olson is in the back and is going to tryand get a word with eric right. we're going to go to her assoon as we can. in the meantime, after this ourmain event! stay tuned
ladies and gentlemen, that'scoming up! co: can i please have a word,eric? eric, who's the other... mustached gentlement by thering? was that an existing family member? i... eric, please! the fans want answers!er: no comment! co: wc fans,
i'll continue to try to get theanswers and we'll be right back. ra: introducing first a man who provides me with no information whatsoever! matt striker! ja: he says that, like it's a bad thing. all theinformation you need to know about matt striker isright there
on his chest. greatest album of 1976potentially of all time. and matt striker we saw it last week, he stepped out after the epic match between ml: he was angry! you can sayanything, stop talking, he was a very angry man!ja: well he was angry a lot of intensity, but i think
a show of respect to adamthornstowe leading to this match-up we'reabout to see. ra: and ladies and gentlemen,his opponent - at: matt striker and adamthornstowe one more time in the wcwc coming up in your main event matt striker, same story respect out the window, adam thornstowe, 1, 2, 3!
oy oy oy ra: adam thornstowe! at: and i just keep smilin' no matter what we're doing! ja: adam thornstowe is allsmiles. had a shot at the pacificnorthwest championship last week. a former pacificnorthwest champion in his own right.ml: you didn't mention he blew it chance in that titlematch.
ja: well i was kind of gettingto that. ml: oh i'm sorry... ja: former, lost his shot,yeah... ja: lost the rematch, but outof that got this opportunity. to go one-on-one with mattstriker. ml: striker still looks i would call it "poised" a little distant
arrogant perhaps, a little bit careful... ja: we've seen a lot ofdifferent sides to matt strikerhere in the west coast wrestlingconnection over the years we've seen him angling to be inthe main event matches. we've seen him tryingto get title shots. we've seen him purposefully take on some of the youngertalent the rookies coming in to kindof, feel them out
a little bit. this is one ofthe first times that we've seen matt strikerreally come out ask for a match with someonewith the experience, with the resume, a former pacific northwestchampion in adam thornstowe. ml: what people don't realizeis, matt striker along with adam thornstowe, ifyou're watching this, can actuallywrestle.
a real wrestling match. a professional wrestling match.they're showing it right here! ja: yep, we've seen it frommatt striker in the past. he's tried to come out and just actually do fundamental mat wrestling with his opponents.he's been the one who hasn't been able to stickto that gameplan, but he's in there with adamthornstowe. adam thornstowe can attack youfrom so many ways,
he's a grappler, he's astriker, he's a high flyer. he can really get it done inany way that he needs to. and rightnow, he's going to have to bring all those facets of thegame to show against someone thecaliber of matt striker.ml: i'm sure as usual he will probably cheat to try to getthat cheap victory. ja: oh i'm sure, we see thatall the time from adamthornstowe...
ml: you see it to?!ja: oh yeah, totally... ml: well i'm glad we agree onsomething else this week! this is like a first! coupleweeks in a row we've agreed on like, one and a half things! ja: i'm really glad that you'reable to sense subtlety and nuance in my tone... ml: i don't know anybody named"nuance" ja: that's not shockingat all... ml: ok you're shocking!
ja: i can be sometimes. mattstriker the look on his face says hemay have underestimated adam thornstowe, just a littlebit. and frankly, you have to be honest, look atadam thornstowe... you don't look at him and think"grappler" "mat wrestler" whatsoever matt striker thought he couldcome in here and immediately get theupper-hand by wrestling with thornstowe,but thornstowe
impressing everybody, including matt striker, showing that hecan indeed get it done!ml: when you say everybody,does that include me?ja: i wouldn't include you in any group of a generalpopulation. ml: why not?ja: ...that i can mention on family friendly tv.ml: my mother gave birth to me,you know, many years ago. i'm a person.ja: i'm sure that's the rumor, yeah.
ml: well, ok. somebody once said your parentshad no children, so i don't know if that applies to you or not?ja: my parents had quite a fewchildren. ml: i was told they did!ja: i don't think that applied to my mom and dad! at all, god bless them. saints still on this planet! ml: sure if they had you,they're more than saints! ja: it's true.
ml: i'm not sure what thereligious terminology is for something above a saint,but your parents would have to be that.ja: yeah, there's no such thing really that i know of, but i'm not going to argue withthat. speaking of not arguing, mattstriker sticking to his gameplan, not changing thingsup. going tet a tet with adamthornstowe right now. i think it'simportant
to striker to show thornstowe show the fans of the wcwc that when it comes to purefundamental wrestling, there are none better than the teacher himself, mattstriker. ml: i'm watching honestly i was thinking i wasback in the 1950s watching a classicwrestling match right now.
as you say tit for tat, movefor move. ja: back and forth. now we're seeing it escalate just alittle bit. not a lot of back elbows in thegreco-roman playbook.ml: well thornstowe is doingthe same thing, it's that tit for tat,tit for tits. tat tat. tit for tat. ja: yeah, you should put theshuffle down and stop... stop...ml: stop digging!
i've heard these expressions,but i'm not quite sure how theyreally play out, so i'll juststop. ja: morty, yeah we're justjeopardizing our timeslot atthis point. ml: nah, they love at... whatstation are we on again? ja: you can catch us on pdx-tv catch us on youtube, catch uson fite! f i t e! fight like you mean it! download the app on the itunesstore or the google play store for free! catch the
wcwc, paragon pro wrestling, and all sorts of great combatsports. they've got sumo wrestling onthere! ml: uh oh! ja: there we go! now what we're seeing is aprofessional wrestling match a mix of all sorts of styles.clothesline! to the apron by adam thornstowe and thornstowe coming through!
flies up and... look at theathleticism of adam thornstowe as he takesdown matt striker! comes right backup to his feet ml: and that's not an easy thing. striker is athletic. ja: yes, yes he is. ml: yes, well we establishedthat. oh now that wasn't very nice. aknee to the head. when matt striker's trying tohave a legitimate wrestlingmatch,
thornstowe goes and knees himto the head! ja: well they've been all "tatfor tat" or whatever you were trying to sayearlier... ml: yeah, that too.uh oh! ja: ...it's been escalated byboth men. ml: oh look at this! ja: oh man! he dropped the knees of adamthornstowe onto that ring apron! ml: i have one more expression: turnabout is fair play!ja: ok, fair enough!
ml: we got that one right,correct? ja: yep, we did. turnabout is fair play, andwhat we're seeing right now is a turnabout intruder as matt striker was able to turn adam thornstowe around, usethat ring apron to not only take out his knees... it looks like he might have hithim in the head as well, thornstowe is going to struggleto answer the call, the count...ref: seven!
ja: matt striker struggling aswell. ref: eight! ml: hitting thornstowe in thehead really isn't going to domuch. ja: its almost synchronized matreturn. give them a few points off on that one.ml: that could be a new olympicsport, synchronized mat return...ja: could be... ja: and skateboarding is goingto be an olympic sport herepretty soon. ml: is it really?ja: it is, that's what iunderstand.
ml: so you want to skateboard? you want a couple of wheelsthat are too thin and you're not thin and i cansee boom, and thats it. ja: you can see me on askateboard for about threeseconds of a two minute run... ml: ha ha ha, i'd pay money tosee that. oh! would i pay money to see that!ja: we could make it happen...
in the meantime, thornstoweshowing what we were talkingabout earlier he can play all phases of thisgame thornstowe trying to show himas well this has been such a mirrormirror kind of a match-up striker looking for that opportunity, but man, bothcompetitors have hurt their knees. strikerslow to get back up. this might become a question. not only of who wantsit more,
but who's more resilient? who has more endurance? who canfight through the pain more than theother? ml: and, who has the best knees?ja: oh yeah? yeah, that might be you! i understand they're bothbionic at this point. ml: trionic.ja: trionic! didn't even know that was athing... ml: i've tried to makethem bionic, it didn't work. ja: good.ml: i believe that played well.
ja: couldn't just leave that outthere. ml: ha ha, no i couldn't! we've still got a greatwrestling match going on. i'm going to stay i'm impressedwith both striker, and even thornstowe with thismatch. i admit it. ja: thornstowe, able to usethat top rope, right there, to keep himon the ring apron. morty, i think if thornstowehad a fault, falling down to the concretethis match would be over... there's no wayhe could answer the 10 count!
but the pinfall! almost a three! almost! ml: and folks out therewatching on your television screen or whateveryou're watching on, computers, tablets, telephones, cellphones, you're seeing a match this is main event championship match anywhere inthe world! ja: well, there's no question
we've saw this a week ago the devastating impact of thatpedigree from matt striker on ian sutton! but now, catches him rightacross the shoulder! stuns him, possibly and... two count, thornstowe able to kick out! matt striker in thering with a former pacific northwest champion in
adam thornstowe. apparently he is going to have to throw the kitchen sink at thornstoweif he wants to get his hand raised at theend of this match. ml: is there a kitchen sink outhere too? i know we had laddersrecently. ja: probably!ml: and some tables. i don'tsee any kitchen sinks hiding... uh oh!ja: you watch pro wrestling, there's a good chance we've gotone under the ring.
thornstowe comes up stomp to the mid-section! maybe a preview of what is about to come! thornstowe would love nothing more than to nail that scum stomp right there! he'sgot him set not quite fully in position! maybe not a scum stomp, but heuses those knees to his advantage!
back to a little fundamentalsthere a fireman carry takeover, updown! adam thornstowe, so quick, so percussive in all of hiscontact! this just about won the pacific northwest championshipone week ago! just a two count!ml: what's "percussive" jeff? explain to the fans. ja: percussive. like gettinghit hard.
ml: could you have just saidgetting hit hard? ja: i could, but they pay memoney because i have a...ml: to use big words right? ja: yeah, yeah...ml: i'm sorry fans, we'll makesure he uses language we can allunderstand, including me! ja: go big! roll through! grab leg! like that? is that what you're lookingfor? put head in leg! ml: i'm following you now!ja: woah!
now we're back to normal! hitsthat pedigree! solid damage!ml: could be it, jeff! ja: oh my goodness! somehow thornstowe able to kick out! matt striker just asshocked as everyone else!ml: 2 and 9/10s on that count by the referee! little slow, i might add... referees don't count too fasthere.
