This was supposed to be my match for the text fed bash that I guess never was. It was even finished before the deadline and everything! So I guess I'll stick it here.
Robert's WCW presents:
Chris Benoit vs Eddie Guerrero
Cut back into the Text Fed Bash arena with a shot of the arena from the ceiling. The fans are buzzing waiting for the next match as Tony Schavonie's voice is heard.
Tony: Well fans up next here at this huge event is WCW's match as it is a match that is sure to steal the show. Chris Benoit vs Eddie Guerrero.
Tenay: These two are no strangers to each other. They have wrestled all over the world from Japan to the states and very recently here in WCW. Benoit one half of the Tag Team Champions with Dean Malenko and Eddie is in the tag title hunt with his nephew Chavo Jr.
Heenan: This is a huge arena, huge show, and with all these promoters and wrestlers here a huge chance to show off what you got. I would say I hope they are ready but I already know they are.
Eddie Guerrero's WCW theme hits and the fans come to their feet. Guerrero comes out wearing his black tights, a Cheat 2 Win shirt and remember this is 1999 WCW so he has the mullet.
Tony: Eddie getting a nice reception as he comes out.
Tenay: He is but what can be going through his mind, as we said this is a huge show and you don't want to look past it but what about WCW's own huge show in Uncensord? Eddie is facing Buff Bagwell in a ladder match and Chris Benoit faces Bret Hart. Nothing to look past there.
Heenan: Better them two then me I know that.
As Eddie slides into the ring and steps up to the middle turnbuckle the Horses gallop and the Horsemen theme hits to a surpisingly big pop. Chris Benoit comes out in his red tights a Horsemen shirt and the WCW Tag Title over his sholder. He holds up the four fingers to another big pop then keeps walking toward the ring.
Tony: Benoit coming out and that is all I can think to say. Just let these two start the match and let WCW shine here on this grand stage we are fortuniate to be apart of tonight.
Heenan: Like to see any nWo get past all this extra security. With guys like Harry, JC Bailey and our own Doug Dilinger who could. I think I saw some guy who called himself Flip backstage to, ever hear of him Schavonie?
Tony: Uh....no can't say I have Brain. Anyway...
Benoit gets into the ring and removes his shirt throwing it into the crowd then he meets Eddie in mid ring and raises his tag title high in front of him to the trademark Guerrero smirk. The fans pop then settle into their seats as Benoit hands the belt to the ref. WCW referee Randy Anderson calls for the bell as the two long time rivals circle each other. The two lunge into a hard tie up in mid ring. They lean in forward but nether can drive the other back. Benoit then takes his foot and steps around Eddie and tries to trip him but Eddie holds his ground but stumbles back a bit falling into the ropes. Eddie then pushes Benoit away and glares at him.
Tony: Eddie smart move that time saw he was going to lose the fight so he pushes Benoit away.
Tenay: Eddie upset but that was a good move.
Heenan: Benoit isn't losing focus either. He is waiting on Guerrero to come to him.
Benoit stands waiting on Eddie who slowly steps away from the ropes. He keeps one hand on the ropes however as he sticks the other arm out for a possible test of strength. Benoit is willing to oblige but as he sticks the hand up Eddie pulls away back toward the ropes to a few boos. Benoit steps toward him but the referee gets in between the two and backs him up. Benoit yells come on so Eddie charges out and over the referee nails Benoit with a hard punch sending him to the mat. The fans pop for that.
Heenan: Great wrestling!
Tony: More like a cheap shot.
Tenay: Crowd seemed to like it.
Eddie pushes the ref aside as he tries to argue with him and stomps away at the fallen Crippler. Several hard stomps to the chest sees Benoit turn onto his stomach but Eddie measures him for a hard stomp to the back. The referee tries to reason so Eddie raises a backhand to him threatening him. The ref points to his shirt causing Eddie to look at his raised hand then quickly put it behind his back. He apologizes to laughter from the fans.
Tony: Eddie...he better say he is sorry. Risking disqualification here.
Tenay: He better focus on Chris Benoit.
Eddie turns to Benoit and goes for another stomp but Benoit springs to his knees and catches Eddie's foot then pushes himself into the inner leg of Guerrero pushing him to the mat. He stands and spins the leg as if going for a figure four but drops down all his weight onto the leg. All in one motion and it pops the crowd. Eddie SCREAMS in pain.
Tony: Benoit down across the leg.
Heenan: Listen to Guerrero yell
Tenay: Benoit going for the legs knowing a lot of Guerrero offense is based around high flying.
Benoit stands holding onto the leg. Eddie tries to pull away so Benoit gives the leg a hard yank. Eddie pounds the mat in pain then tries to kick Benoit away with the other foot. Benoit takes a few kicks then swipes the foot away and spins around the leg again and drops down on it a second time. Again Eddie screams in pain and it gets worse as Benoit stays on top of him pulling on the foot for a submission hold. The referee is in good position asking Eddie if he quits. Eddie refuses.
Tony: Painful yet simple hold. All the weight on the leg, pull on the foot and the ankle. Could get a submission.
Heenan: And with these important matches coming up, just the fact we have our own promotion in WCW to worry about....maybe he should quit.
Tenay: Not likely. Guerrero won't give up to Chris Benoit.
Eddie props himself up with his elbows then takes an arm and raises it high slowly bringing it down toward Benoit's head. The fingers are locked ready to illegally dig into an eye or wherever they can. The referee sees this and grabs Eddie's wrist warning him. Eddie lets out a scream and lays down on his back. The ref counts a quick two count before Eddie sits straight up. The fans oooooh for the nearfall. Eddie again raises a hand and the ref warns with a no so Eddie takes the free leg and kicks Benoit with a weak kick to the back of the head. It barely fazes Benoit so Eddie does it again. Benoit shakes his head and pulls back on the leg causing Eddie to blast Benoit with a hard kick this time. Huge groan from the fans as Benoit releases the hold and slumps down to the mat.
Tony: My goodness what a kick!
Heenan: Concussion city there. A suburb of Parts Unknown.
Tenay: Benoit face first laying on the mat with Eddie rolling over to the ropes. Can't stand on his own power which isn't a good sign.
Benoit gets to all fours as Eddie pulls himself to his feet using the ropes. Guerrero shakes his leg trying to get the feeling back then he limps to Benoit who glances back quickly seeing Eddie. Benoit then slumps back down to his stomach as Eddie reaches him. Guerrero again shakes his leg and slaps it to heal it. He grabs Benoit by the hair who starts to get up then slumps down again out of it. Eddie lets him go and looks down then up at the fans. He pounds his chest and does his trademark shimy shake to a mix of boos and cheers then pulls Benoit up again. This time the Crippler springs to his feet and trips Eddie up. He steps between the legs for a sharpshooter as the fans pop and all stand. Eddie squrims around countering with a body scissors.
Tony: Guerrero with a counter holding Benoit at bay....but look at Benoit not giving in now punching Guerrero over and over.
Tenay: Shots to the face by Benoit.
Heenan: This is wrestling right here. I hate to be the promoter following this match, except maybe for the BWF...CWF whatever its name is.
Eddie grabs Benoit's arm to counter the punches. The Crippler tries to pull away but can't so he takes a gaint step planting a foot next to the top of Eddie's head with the other planted at his back. Benoit then tries to pull Eddie off the ground. Guerrero squrms but with a yell Benoit lifts Eddie high into the air to a aaaaaaah from the fans then falls straight back to the mat. Both men crash hard to a round of applause. Benoit lay flat on his back shaking his arm as Eddie rolls around in pain. A small Benoit chant is heard.
Tony: That was a counter if I ever saw one.
Tenay: Powerful one to.
Heenan: Painful.
Benoit stands and goes to Eddie pulling him up by the hair. Stiff chop to the chest by one half of the WCW Tag Team Champions. Kick to the gut and a set for a suplex. Lift and Benoit takes a few steps forward toward the ropes for his gut first drop onto the ropes. Eddie notices and kicks his legs back breaking free of Benoit's grip dropping himself to the floor and Benoit's throat across the top rope. The fans groan and clap as Eddie quickly hops back onto the apron and springs into the ring with a Hilo onto the opponent.
Tony: Lighining quick Eddie Guerrero
Heenan: Had the bean buritio for lunch again.
Tenay: The tide turns again in this match as these two know each other very well.
Eddie is on his feet and he pulls up Benoit. Hard uppercut to the chin knocks The Crippler into the ropes. Eddie mockingly slaps Benoit in the face then pushes him hard back into the ropes and delivers a forearm to the chest. From there he shoots Benoit to the far side ropes. Swing and a miss on the way back as Benoit ducks and goes behind Eddie. Quick release german suplex to a huge pop. Eddie lands hard and flips to the ropes and rolls out to the floor. Benoit stands quickly and runs back to the ropes and comes charging towards Eddie timing it perfectly so he can stand and turn into a Benoit suicide dive! Another big time response from the crowd.
Heenan: Oh man!
Tony: Dive through the ropes onto Guerrero and Benoit is on fire here!
Tenay: High risk move taking a page out of Eddie Guerrero's playbook.
Benoit stands and pulls Guerrero to his feet by the mullet and fires him back into the ring. He slides in after him as Eddie stands and stumbles away facing the opposite direction. Benoit stands and runs over Eddie with a vicous clothesline to the back of the head! Guerrero hits the mat hard face first. Benoit reaches down and pops Eddie with a forearm to the back of the head. He turns Eddie onto his back but Eddie gives Benoit a forearm to the chest. Benoit with a right hand, Eddie with a right hand to the head. Benoit nails Eddie again then follows with a quick shot, another one and then another one to a cheering crowd. Eddie has lost the battle but then locks in the bodyscissors again.
Tenay: Smart move by Eddie again going for the bodyscissors. Benoit probably not expecting it again.
Heenan: Like a game of chess with the biggest playing board and pieces I've ever seen.
Benoit quickly slides his arms down next to each leg to break the bodyscissors and tries to apply the sharpshooter again. This time Eddie kicks Benoit off and rolls to the side and to his feet as Benoit does the same. Both charge into the other where Eddie tries a punch but Benoit blocks. Punch by Benoit is followed by a trademark stiff chop. Crowd explodes with a whooooooo. Another chop and another whooooo from the fans. Benoit rears back for another chop so Eddie tenses up readying for it allowing Benoit to fake him out and kick him in the bad leg. Benoit dropkicks the bad leg dropping Guerrero to a knee.
Tony: Benoit focusing on the leg.
Tenay: Eddie can't afford an injury heading into the ppv.
Benoit runs the ropes and charges back at Eddie who springs to his feet and catches Benoit with a low dropkick of his own to Benoit's leg. The fans oooooh and clap as Benoit takes a sick drop front first onto the deceptivly hard mat. Eddie rolls up to his feet and smiles limping a little to Benoit kicking him to roll him over onto his back. Eddie steps right on Benoit's face and spins around for the foot scrape move.
Heenan: Another great wrestling move.
Tony: Another short cut by Guerrero, who along with Chavo seem to be getting cheered as of late but tonight Eddie seems to be more like the old Eddie Guerrero. A man who hates the fans, cheats....just a mean person.
Tenay: Then I need to ask....what is this new Eddie like then?
Eddie gets a warning from the referee but then he gives him a light shove. The ref pushes back which sends Eddie in a rage as he yells then rears back for a punch. Only Benoit grabbing the leg from behind stops Guerrero who turns and kicks Benoit hard in the back of the head. He reaches down pulling Benoit up then grabs two handfulls of hair and yells in his face that he is WCW and the next tag champion. Then he yells something in Spanish at him. Benoit responds by pushing Eddie away with all his force sending him flying back halfway across the ring to a big pop. Guerrero pops back up enraged and charges at Benoit who catches him by pushing him straight up into the air from his midsection about six feet into the air and watching him crash down to the mat.
Tony: Look at that hangtime.
Tenay: What a landing.
Heenan: That will make you lose your lunch.
Eddie pops up onto all fours and tries to crawl away but Benoit grabs the hair and pulls him up. Set for a backsuplex and Benoit lifts hitting it. He stands and looks down on Guerrero then blows a snot rocket on him to oooooohs and disgusted sounds from the fans. Benoit then makes the cutthroat taunt and everybody cheers. Benoit makes his way to the apron, heading up top.
Tony: We know what this means.
Heenan: Air Canada, Mr Guerrero already has a flight booked....one way.
Tenay: Benoit going for his Diving Headbutt, now on the top turnbuckle.
Benoit flies but Eddie moves and Chris hits nothing but mat. The crowd sits back down as Benoit lays motionless on the mat. Eddie rolls over from his stomach and turns Benoit over for a cover.
One
Two
Three.....NO! Two count only to a nice applause. Eddie gets to his knees and questions the count but it was only two. Eddie sits Benoit up and then stands. He pulls his head back and comes down with a hard punch to the forehead of Benoit. Guerrero then lets go and dropkicks Benoit in the back. Benoit yells in pain as Eddie stands and pounds his chest and does another shimey shake. He pulls Benoit up and grabs him for a suplex. The quick snap suplex connects but Eddie holds on and spins up hitting another one. Another spin and a third suplex for the Three Amigos. A few fans cheer but majority boo as Eddie stands and quickly goes to the apron and climbs up top.
Tony: Suplexes and now it is Eddie Guerrero on the top rope.
Tenay: Frog Splash coming but Eddie again taunting the crowd, arms out stretched looking for a response and getting boos.
Heenan: Maybe he isn't feeling Froggy?
Eddie actually is and jumps but Benoit rolls away, Eddie however sees it and does his rolling counter to avoid any damage. Both men stand and again Eddie runs at Benoit who takes him down with a Crippler Crossface! Everyone stands and awaits the tap out.
Tony: Crossface!
Tenay: Benoit catching Eddie again and this time it may be it.
Heenan: To close to the ropes, just reach out and grab the ropes Eddie.
Eddie reaches out so close to the corner and the ropes. Benoit rears back and cranks the hold in yelling tap Eddie tap! Guerrero moves a little forward and grabs the ropes to cause a break. Benoit releases and rolls to his feet only to crash back down with an elbowdrop to the back. He stands and hits another one. Again he stands and grabs Eddie by the feet and pulls him on his stomach back out toward mid ring. Benoit drops down for the Crossface again but Eddie turns onto his back. Benoit grabs a side headlock but Guerrero quickly rolls Benoit over onto his sholders for a one count before Benoit rolls back over and stands with Eddie. Eddie shoots Benoit to the ropes and gets a sholder tackle for his trouble on the rebound.
Tony: What a match we are seeing here.
Tenay: Two of the best in any promotion, which is why a card like this is so special.
Heenan: We can prove we are number one guys!
Benoit runs to the side ropes and comes back, Guerrero turns onto his stomach and Benoit leaps over to the near side ropes. Eddie stands as Benoit comes back. Hiptoss is blocked by Benoit and turned into a backslide. The referee slides down into position to count the fall.
ONE
TWO
THREE.....NO! Close but only a two count.
Tony: My goodness that was a close call.
Tenay: Two count says Randy Anderson
Heenan: I thought it was over.
Both men stand where Eddie sees Benoit and drops to his knees. Benoit looks confused then looks at the fans. Eddie extends his hand looking for friendship. The fans laugh and boo as Benoit again looks at the crowd. He shakes his head no and turns to Eddie who springs up and pokes Benoit right in the eye. Now the fans cheer(?!)
Heenan: Wow! Greco Roman poke to the eye. Its how Lou Thez won four of his six World Titles!
Tony: No he didn't.
Heenan: Oh no sorry, two from that and four from a kick below the belt.
With Benoit stunned Eddie kicks him and sets for a piledriver or a powerbomb. Lift and it is the powerbomb he wants and connects with. He then pushes the legs up staying standing leaning into Benoit for the pin attempt.
ONE
TWO
THRE....NO! Benoit wraps his legs around the arm and pulls Eddie in and down into the Crossface again dead in the center of the ring! Huge pop as everyone stands again buzzing and cheering. Eddie kicks and kicks but nothing works. Benoit rears back yell tap Eddie you have no where to go.
Tony: Crossface is in and listen to Benoit talk to Eddie.
Heenan: Telling the truth.
Tenay: Center of the ring Crossface is on.
A Benoit chant is picking up steam as he continues the Crossface. Guerrero has an arm raised but won't tap. Finally he puts the arm down and gets on his knees and push over and back into Benoit putting him on his back. Before the ref can move around to count Benoit pushes back over into the crossface to a big pop and Eddie is quick to tapout!
Tony: He tapped out!
Tenay: Wow he did, he tried to counter but just couldn't.
Heenan: I'll tell ya he hung in there a lot longer then most people.
Benoit releases the hold and stands as the Horsemen music plays. The ref raises his hand as the fans give a standing ovation. Eddie rolls to the floor and glares at Benoit who eyes Eddie back. The fans behind Guerrero yell things like yeah Eddie, great match and viva la raza. Eddie ignores them focused on the Crippler.
Tony: What a match between two of WCW's finest.
Heenan: And it looks like it ain't over.
Tenay: Good for all fans of WCW and wrestling in general.
Tony: Well fans there you have it, this has been WCW's match for this huge card quite possibly the biggest show in wrestling history. Thank you for joining us for Mike Tenay and Bobby Heenan I'm Tony Schavonie.....see you at WCW Uncensord!
Heenan: Ha top that everybody!

Eddie reaches out so close to the corner and the ropes. Benoit rears back and cranks the hold in yelling tap Eddie tap! Guerrero moves a little forward and grabs the ropes to cause a break. Benoit releases and rolls to his feet only to crash back down with an elbowdrop to the back. He stands and hits another one. Again he stands and grabs Eddie by the feet and pulls him on his stomach back out toward mid ring. Benoit drops down for the Crossface again but Eddie turns onto his back. Benoit grabs a side headlock but Guerrero quickly rolls Benoit over onto his sholders for a one count before Benoit rolls back over and stands with Eddie. Eddie shoots Benoit to the ropes and gets a sholder tackle for his trouble on the rebound.
Tony: What a match we are seeing here.
Tenay: Two of the best in any promotion, which is why a card like this is so special.
Heenan: We can prove we are number one guys!
Benoit runs to the side ropes and comes back, Guerrero turns onto his stomach and Benoit leaps over to the near side ropes. Eddie stands as Benoit comes back. Hiptoss is blocked by Benoit and turned into a backslide. The referee slides down into position to count the fall.
ONE
TWO
THREE.....NO! Close but only a two count.
Tony: My goodness that was a close call.
Tenay: Two count says Randy Anderson
Heenan: I thought it was over.
Both men stand where Eddie sees Benoit and drops to his knees. Benoit looks confused then looks at the fans. Eddie extends his hand looking for friendship. The fans laugh and boo as Benoit again looks at the crowd. He shakes his head no and turns to Eddie who springs up and pokes Benoit right in the eye. Now the fans cheer(?!)
Heenan: Wow! Greco Roman poke to the eye. Its how Lou Thez won four of his six World Titles!
Tony: No he didn't.
Heenan: Oh no sorry, two from that and four from a kick below the belt.
With Benoit stunned Eddie kicks him and sets for a piledriver or a powerbomb. Lift and it is the powerbomb he wants and connects with. He then pushes the legs up staying standing leaning into Benoit for the pin attempt.
ONE
TWO
THRE....NO! Benoit wraps his legs around the arm and pulls Eddie in and down into the Crossface again dead in the center of the ring! Huge pop as everyone stands again buzzing and cheering. Eddie kicks and kicks but nothing works. Benoit rears back yell tap Eddie you have no where to go.
Tony: Crossface is in and listen to Benoit talk to Eddie.
Heenan: Telling the truth.
Tenay: Center of the ring Crossface is on.
A Benoit chant is picking up steam as he continues the Crossface. Guerrero has an arm raised but won't tap. Finally he puts the arm down and gets on his knees and push over and back into Benoit putting him on his back. Before the ref can move around to count Benoit pushes back over into the crossface to a big pop and Eddie is quick to tapout!
Tony: He tapped out!
Tenay: Wow he did, he tried to counter but just couldn't.
Heenan: I'll tell ya he hung in there a lot longer then most people.
Benoit releases the hold and stands as the Horsemen music plays. The ref raises his hand as the fans give a standing ovation. Eddie rolls to the floor and glares at Benoit who eyes Eddie back. The fans behind Guerrero yell things like yeah Eddie, great match and viva la raza. Eddie ignores them focused on the Crippler.
Tony: What a match between two of WCW's finest.
Heenan: And it looks like it ain't over.
Tenay: Good for all fans of WCW and wrestling in general.
Tony: Well fans there you have it, this has been WCW's match for this huge card quite possibly the biggest show in wrestling history. Thank you for joining us for Mike Tenay and Bobby Heenan I'm Tony Schavonie.....see you at WCW Uncensord!
Heenan: Ha top that everybody!
