****************************************
(Sorry, late results posting due to Facebook ban).......

Mankato Civic Center was packed to the rafters with a SOLD-OUT CROWD, as GNW returned home Tuesday night!!!

In the opener Rocky Johnson turned back the challenge of Baron Von Raschke in a hotly contested match. Raschke even applied his CLAW, but Rocky was able to escape without having to submit! Johnson then turned up his offense and pins the big German after a FLYING BODY PRESS. Time: (11:11).

FIGHT CLUB members Dan Severn and Steve Blackman failed to gain a victory in tag-team action against The RPMS (Mike Davis/Tommy Lane). Severn was somewhat impressive, but so far in tag-team or singles action, Blackman has not impressed anyone in the least. Steve gets pinned by LANE after a Rocket Launcher double-team finisher! Time: (9:02).

**GNW FRONTIER CHAMPIONSHIP**
The reign of GNW's 1st Frontier Champion is over, almost as soon as it began! Tonight in Mankato Manny Fernandez defeated Champion Bugsy McGraw in impressive fashion! Bugsy was not much in the way of competition tonight and drops the belt in only his second title defense. Fernandez was a house on fire, turning on the offense right from the opening bell! He lands his FLYING BURRITO to get the pin and leaves the Mankato Civic Center Arena as THE NEW GNW FRONTIER CHAMPION!
Time: (5:34).

**********INTERMISSION**********
The devious "Taskmaster" Kevin Sullivan was set loose inside the Mankato Civic Center Arena, and nearly pulled off an upset win over crowd favorite Dr. Death Steve Williams!!! Kevin hit the Doc hard and fast, with a violent bum-rush attack before Williams could remove his OU jacket! For nearly 3 whole minutes Sullivan unloaded on his stunned opponent. But the tough Okie, weathered the storm and came back with a vengeance! After tossing Kevin around, inside and outside of the ring Steve uses a powerslam/lariat combination to secure the pinfall "W". Time: (9:13).

**GNW INTER-STATE TITLE SHOT**
Bobby Shane has earned a shot at GNW gold via his victory over Hacksaw Jim Duggan tonight in Mankato! Duggan was no pushover and this match was a real nail-biter! Both men gave a good accounting of themselves in this back and forth struggle. In the end it was Shane's quickness that won the day, as he evades a charging Duggan who misses on a running tackle and crashed headfirst into the ringpost! Bobby then uses a Bulldog to finish the Hacksaw! Time: (7:31).

****GNW WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP****
Bobo Brazil GNW'S longest reigning World Champion continues his winning ways as he defeated Rowdy Roddy Piper tonight in the jam-packed Mankato Civic Center! Piper uncorked a ton of punishment in this one, but the resilient Champion was able to withstand it all (legal and otherwise). Wearing a crimson mask (from an illegal object used by Piper, unseen by the official) Brazil pulls himself off of the canvas and explodes as the crowd screams with delight! Bobo takes control and returns the punishment back to Piper in spades!!! Piper has no choice but to leave the ring, and Bobo follows hot on his heels! Outside Roddy is disqualified for brandishing a chair! YOUR WINNER AND STILL GNW WORLD CHAMPION BOBO BRAZIL!! Time: (14:37).

Brian Sager: I am speechless MANKATO, what a homecoming it was tonight! Great matches and an even greater hometown crowd! We can't wait to come back, thank you all so very,very much! There is certainly NO PLACE LIKE HOME! Great North Wrestling travels next to Council Bluffs Iowa, for our Mid-America Center Arena debut Friday night September 6th, bell-time 7pm!

Mid-America Center Arena
Council Bluffs, IA
Attendance: 6,853
**********************************
GNW's successful Mid-America Center debut was not kind to its champions, but what a great night of professional wrestling action it was in Council Bluffs Friday night!!!!

Light-heavyweight legend Nelson Royal had a successful evening in our opening fracas, as he out-wrestles the larger Blue Meanie! Royal was only stymied by BM's size advantage for a short time, before taking over the match completely. After a whirlwind offensive barrage, Royal gets the pinfall victory with his signature BULLDOG! Time: (4:38).

Harsh reality strikes FIGHT CLUB member Steve Blackman tonight in Council Bluffs. After losing another match here in Great North Wrestling, (Blackman has lost every singles match, and been the only member pinned in tag competition)...including tonight's match against Jerry Lynn, (who pinned Blackman in short order with a CRADLE PILEDRIVER, FIGHT CLUB came out and addressed the situation. The stomped a defeated Blackman, with Shamrock, Frye and Severn all delivering their finishers upon him! Afterwards Blackman was dismissed from the group, then Shamrock, before exiting, informed the crowd that BAD NEWS ALLEN is the newest addition to FIGHT CLUB! Time: (3:06) SQUASH.

**GNW FRONTIER CHAMPIONSHIP**
It seems the hardest belt to hold is the GNW Frontier Championship. In a little over a month since its inception, we have had 3 title changes, and only 1 successful defense of the strap. Manny Fernandez's reign ends at 6 days, and on his first defense! Kevin Sullivan unleashed his maniacal offense, and brutality, which overwhelmed The Ragin' Bull completely. Sullivan left the Mid-America Center Arena with the gold! After kicking out of a Fernandez powerslam, Sullivan scratched, clawed, and cheated his way to the championship! He finally pins Manny after a low-blow (no DQ) with a PILEDRIVER! YOUR WINNER AND NEW GNW FRONTIER CHAMPION. ....THE "TASKMASTER" KEVIN SULLIVAN! Time: (7:52).

The violent duo from New Zealand, the Sheepherders drop their first tag-team feature here in GNW to THE LORDS, (Alfred Hayes/James Blears)! The English "not so" gentlemen gave Luke and Butch all they could handle and more! Not only did they use their superior wrestling skills, they nullified The Sheepherders violence and treachery, buy using plenty of their own. This was an excellent match, both teams, battling back and forth, with superlative double-teaming and quick tags. In the end it was a quick roll-up pin by Blears on Luke, that ends this enjoyable contest. Time: (16:47).

**********INTERMISSION**********

After the break FIGHT CLUB leader Ken Shamrock and Puerto Rican superstar Pedro Morales clash in a very contentious battle! Shamrock soon learned that Morales wasn't a pushover, and wouldn't be bullied either! Both men landed equal amounts of pain and the match spilled out onto the arena floor, With Morales getting the better of Shamrock! With the crowd screaming in delight...newest FIGHT CLUB member Bad News Allen rushes out from the back and jumps Pedro! Both men begin to pound on a downed Morales until Bobo Brazil and Bob Armstrong rush to Pedro's aid! THE REFEREE DECLARES THE MATCH A DOUBLE DISQUALIFICATION! Time: (6:57).

**GNW INTER-STATE CHAMPIONSHIP**
The cocky, but capable Bobby Shane has arrived, capturing GNW gold (in the form of the Inter-State title), tonight in a raucous match vs former champion Jimmy Snuka! Snuka making his 8th defense started out on fire, but Shane was able to withstand the islander's initial onslaught, and the battle was on! Bobby rolls out from under Snuka's SUPERFLY LEAP and deftly applies his JAPANESE SLEEPER for the win! YOUR WINNER AND NEW GNW INTER-STATE CHAMPION BOBBY SHANE!
Time: (9:06).

**6-MAN TAG-TEAM MAIN EVENT**
It was truly a "HEELS" night in Council Bluffs as we had another upset to end the evening! On paper, The Vachons/Buddy Rose seemed to be over-matched by their opposition Andre the Giant, GNW World Champion Bobo Brazil and "Bullet" Bob Armstrong, BUT that wasn't the case! Mad Dog and Butcher were at their brutal best, and the devious Playboy was equally so tonight inside the Mid-America Center! Surprisingly they were able to withstand the Andre portion of the match, taking their lumps without submitting or being pinned. After The Giant tagged out Buddy, Mad Dog and Butcher didn't let him back into this one! They first brawled and bruised an ineffective Armstrong, who somehow avoided the pin, or submission tagging out in desperation to BRAZIL! Brazil entered the ring hot and clears it, looking every bit like the unbeatable Champion he has been. But after some treachery from his opponent's, Brazil winds up bloody and PINNED! As all three men jumped him in THEIR corner...Mad Dog hits Bobo squarely in the noggin with his CHAIN (no DQ)....And Butcher (the legal man) covers for the 1,2,3! The Vachons/Rose make a quick exit afterwards (amid a chorus of boos and raining debris) as Andre/Armstrong attend to Brazil. Time: (11:47).

Brian Sager: This night was INSANE, wouldn't you agree Council Bluffs! (crowd roars). On behalf of all of us here in Great North Wrestling, a huge thank you for the welcome and the amazing turnout here this evening. You guys ROCK! We most definitely will be back! GNW ON TOUR travels to Bismarck, ND for ON TOUR #277 Monday night September 9th, bell-time 7pm, inside The fabled Bismarck Event Center! Good Night fans, this is Brian Sager saying THINGS ARE HOT HERE IN THE GREAT NORTH, WE'LL SEE YOU AT THE MATCHES!!!!!

Bismarck Event Center, Bismarck, ND
Attendance: 6,500 (SOLD-OUT)
*****************************************
Bismarck was the place to be in North Dakota last night , as GNW rolled into a SOLD-OUT Bismarck Event Center Arena for one heckuva show!!!

Hercules Ayala downed Big John Studd in the opening match, and it was a scrapper! Studd punished Herc, nearly pinning him after a body splash, but Ayala was able to roll Studd off him at the count of 2 and a half! Later Big John crashes to the floor, and the tide turned. Ayala somehow manages to apply his FIGURE FOUR to Studd's big tree-trunk legs, and get the submission win! Time: (7:19).

Frenchy Martin used a questionable tactics (per usual), to upset Italian standout Ilio DiPaolo tonight in Bismarck! Frenchy totally out-matched in the skill category by Ilio, turned this match into a barroom brawl, right from the start. He brutalized Dipaolo so much that Ilio never gets on track. After choking DiPaolo excessively (almost getting DISQUALIFIED) Frenchy uses his PILEDRIVER to garner the "W". Time:(4:36).

FIGHT CLUB'S recent in-ring woes continued this evening in Bismarck! Dan "The Beast" Severn was tamed by the fiery veteran Chief Billy Red Cloud! Red Cloud, fueled by the backing of the sold-out crowd was nigh unstoppable! After taking a fair amount of punishment from Severn, Billy went into his War Dance, and the end was near for "The Beast"! After a series of over-hand chops drop Severn to the canvas, The chief used a double knee drop and covered for the 1,2,3.
Time: (6:47).

**********INTERMISSION**********

DEMOLITION was in the house, and took no prisoners, defeating The Moondogs (Spot/Rex) in our first tag-team feature of the night! Spot and Rex put up quite the fight, but this night Ax and Smash would not be denied! After tossing Spot out to the floor during 4-man in-ring fracas, DEMOLITION destroyed Rex, pinning him after a devastating DEMOLITION DECAPITATION!
Time: (13:07).

***GNW WORLD TITLE SHOT MATCH***
Two of the biggest and meanest men in Great North Wrestling bashed and brawled in the Bismarck Event Center Arena, with a shot at The World Championship in the balance! It was wild and wooly as Bruiser Brody went head-on with Batista! Every single second was contested by these two brutes, and the arena shook with every blow, and every move! Batista used a chair on the outside (somehow escaping the dq) and Brody was bleeding profusely! Seeing flowing crimson, it triggers Brody into a frenzy....and he unleashed a tremendous beatdown on his opponent. After planting Batista in the center of the ring via powerslam, The Bruiser ascended the ropes, delivering a bone-jarring JUMPING KNEE DROP finisher! Brody remains undefeated in GNW, his sights now set squarely on WORLD Champion Bobo Brazil! Time: (12:26).

*GNW WORLD TAG-TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP*
After securing their shot, by winning the last man standing title shot Battle Royal at DOG DAYS OF SUMMER, Wilbur Snyder and Spike Huber were riding a wave of momentum. BUT they crashed back down to Earth, after tonight's CHAMPIONSHIP match against THE HEART-STOPPERS! Stasiak and Ox were simply brutal , ornery, and in no mood to waste time or energy! Wilbur got off to a pretty fast start and his team had an early advantage. They tagged in and out with precision and fluidity. But then BAKER and STASIAK began to resist and retaliate! Soon Baker and Snyder were brawling on the floor, while Stasiak brutalized young Huber inside the ring. STASIAK pins Spike after a HEART PUNCH getting the 3-count before Wilbur can make the save! Time: (7:54).

Brian Sager: Well, well, well what an evening here in Bismarck! And another amazing evening of Great North Wrestling comes to a close. Thank you great fans, for the amazing turnout, please drive safely home, so that we may do this again, very soon! Bozeman, Montana is next for GNW ON TOUR, as we invade The Brick Breeden Arena, for ON TOUR #278 Thursday September 12th. ....bell-time 7PM!

Brick Breeden Arena, Bozeman, Montana
Attendance: 10,000+ (SOLD-OUT)
********************************************
Montana wrestling fans turned out "en force" Thursday night for our 1st Brick Breeden SELL-OUT! HERE are the results from Bozeman!

Gentleman Chris Adams pins Brutus Beefcake in the opener. Adams took some heavy shots from Bruti, in an early offensive flurry. But just like that Chris unleashes his SUPERKICK, nearly beheading BEEFCAKE! It was a short but exciting way to start the evening. Adams wins by pinfall! Time: (3:14). Semi-SQUASH.

Leo Burke fails to impress in his Great North debut, but he was facing the large and in charge, Bad Bad Leroy Brown! It was a tale of two styles, wrestling vs brawling, with the latter being the better strategy this evening. After avoiding a pin attempt by Burke, Brown turned up the punishment meter using his size/weight advantage! He crushes Leo in the corner with an Avalanche, then drops HIS FLYING ELBOW DROP finisher, from the top turnbuckle, for the 1,2,3. Time: (5:47).

Mark Lewin and The Grappler waged war in Bozeman. A taught thriller of a match, with many momentum swings, and outside fracases! These two went back and forth, neither man truly gaining an edge over the other! The match went to the floor no less than 3 TIMES! Guardrails, the time keeper's table, and the steps all tasted flesh! Both men were pounding each other outside, when a frustrated referee calls for the DOUBLE DQ! Time: (9:11).

The Dudley Boyz triumphed in their Tag-Team match-up, but they were tested by the rare pairing of Kim Duk/The One Man Gang. Gang was dominant, taking the fight right to the BOYZ! Duk was strong early, but faded as he took most of his team's punishment! In the end the big Korean gets nailed by a Dudley Device double-team, and gets pinned. Time: (7:32)

***********INTERMISSION**********

Dr. DEATH rocks Bozeman with an impressive outing against the deviously dangerous Jake "The Snake" Roberts! The crafty Roberts gave the Doc a sound thrashing at the opening bell, and the crowd was shocked. The tough "Okie" absorbed the punishment, and to Jake's amazement and disbelief stormed back with a vengeance. At one point "The Snake" slithered out of the ring, hoping to get a breather. BUT NO, Williams follows him out and starts wailing on Jake, even opening him up with a chair-shot (no DQ)! This one ends inside the squared circle with a BLOODY Roberts getting pinned after a Williams powerslam/leg drop combo!
Time: (10:44).

FIGHT CLUB'S Dan "The Beast" Severn makes a statement tonight, defeating THE ROWDY ONE...Roddy Piper! Piper started out on fire, as he usually does, and Severn was forced to play defense early on. But Dan was able to deflect most of Piper's heavy offense, avoiding any real physical damage in the process. And then "The Beast" pounces on a crazed Piper, pummeling him with salvos of heavy kicks, and paralyzing blows! He had Piper reeling and recoiling, much to the crowd's dismay. In desperation Roddy goes for his SLEEPER, but SEVERN counters with his CHOKE SLEEPER, and Piper gets put out COLD! Time: (8:35).

***CAGE MATCH MAIN-EVENT***
The evening concludes with a virtual " Clash of the Titans", inside the steel confines between MARK HENRY and BIG VAN VADER! The ground shook, and the walls vibrated, as these two behemoths hammered away at each other! Not much in the way of holds, but all sorts of unbridled brutality, and displays of POWER! The crowd was deafening from bell to bell. Henry used the cage as his own personal meat-grinder and Vader's blood spewed freely! Vader not to be outdone, bounced Mark off the cage like a pinball. The turning point comes as Vader mounts the top turnbuckle, and Henry tries unsuccessfully to dislodge him. Instead VADER shoves Henry off flat onto the mat, and finishes "The World's Strongest Man" with an arena quaking VADER BOMB! (12:27).

Brian Sager: An UNBELIEVABLE AMOUNT of action here tonight in BOZEMAN! What an amazing crowd you are, thank you so very much! Great North Wrestling travels to Portland Oregon, for GNW ON TOUR #279, Sunday Sept. 15th, 7pm from The Kliever Armory!

***************************************
It was a humid, sultry late Summer Sunday evening in a packed Kliever Armory in Portland, Oregon as Great North Wrestling was back in town!!!

Bob Armstrong kicked off the evening's festivities, taking down Nord the Barbarian, to the delight of the Kliever faithful! He struggled a bit at the start, then judo chopped the bigger Nord, until he eventually wore him down. A dazed Nord was pinned after Armstrong clobbered him with a GEORGIA JAWJACKER!
Time: (6:38).

"Playboy" Buddy Rose seemed quite comfortable in his old stomping grounds (the Pacific NW) as he defeated his opponent Ilio DiPaolo, much to the chagrin of the sold-out crowd. Ilio (who has been off his game of late), loses this tough match, extending his current singles losing streak to 3 in a row. Buddy managed to use just enough agility and power (and a smidgen of deviousness) to beat the Italian fan favorite. After dealing out a fair amount of punishment, the Playboy gets the 3-count after using his INSIDE BACKBREAKER! Time: (5:07).

Ron Garvin should have stayed home, as he gets steamrolled by THE ONE MAN GANG. Perhaps it was jet lag, or maybe OMG was in no mood to waste time tonight in Portland. He quelled THE HANDS OF STONE, from bell to bell winning impressively and in short order! He wins by pinfall, nearly embedding Garvin permanently into the mat with his 747 SPLASH!
Time: (2:17).

**********INTERMISSION**********

D-VON and BUBBA RAY, showed tonight that they have no FOFC (Fear Of Fight Club)! The Boyz triumphed over Fight Club leader Ken Shamrock and his partner for this tag-team feature FC member Dan Severn! Shamrock and Severn looked strong early in this one, until the Dudleys decided to take things outside the squared circle! In the arena area the Dudleys were the ALPHA males and bashed and brawled FIGHT CLUB, eventually winning this war! Bubba Ray powerslams Severn on the ringside concrete (no DQ), then tosses the tamed "Beast" back into the ring where D-Von was waiting. He uses an inverted piledriver and covers for the 1,2,3, as Bubba stops Shamrock's pin-save dropkicking him out through the ropes, to the floor! Time: (15:43).

***GNW INTER-STATE TITLE SHOT MATCH***
In a very clean but entertaining match, Pedro Morales defeated Jay Youngblood to earn a shot at INTER-STATE CHAMPIONSHIP currently held by one BOBBY SHANE. After shaking hands these two "ring technicians" put on an exhibition of holds and counters, and the pace was quick! Youngblood went into his War Dance at one point, and went on an aerial assault that had the crowd out of their seats! And Pedro, not to be outdone was just as exciting to watch. After using a delayed suplex, Morales ends Youngblood's night with a KNEE DROP BACKBREAKER. After the match both men shook hands, and the crowd applauded both participants. Time: (7:51).

***GNW WORLD TITLE SHOT MAIN EVENT***
Peter Maivia and Jake Roberts put on a not so squeaky clean match, but it was epic nonetheless! Maivia was on his "A" game, of powerful moves combined with brutal chops and head butts! A stunned Roberts took several outside of the ring breathers, trying to formulate a game plan that would slow the High Chief. Finally on one of his 4 or 5 powders to the outside, Roberts baits Maivia into leaving the ring and giving chase, THEN "The Snake" strikes!!!! He slams Peter's head into the ringpost, then careens him into the guardrail before tossing him back into the squared circle! Once back in the ring it eventually takes TWO DDTS to keep Maivia's shoulders to the mat long enough for Roberts to secure the pinfall, and the title shot. Time: (13:57).

Brian Sager: KLIEVER, it has been too long! We were so happy to return to this building tonight, and your response is greatly appreciated! We have to get back here sooner! (crowd cheers loudly). Great North Wrestling makes another debut Sept. 18th, as we foray back up north for ON TOUR #280, 7PM bell-time from The Moose Jaw Events Centre in Saskatchewan!

GNW had its first Moose Jaw card Wednesday night (9/18/) , and it was a huge success!!! The crowd was amazing, and the action was off the HOOK!

Greg "The Hammer" Valentine defeated the unpredictable and zany Bugsy McGraw in our opening contest. It was a competitive, back and forth affair, with plenty of offensive fireworks between these two superstars. In the end, THE HAMMER fell squarely on McGraw, pinning Bugsy after a knee drop, followed by a throat drop on the ropes. Time: (6:40).

Kenny King and Jerry Lynn put on quite the aerial and speed exhibition in our next match, a white-knuckle ride for sure. Move after move, hold after hold, these two men were on fire! This one ends when King hits Lynn with his CORONATION finisher, after a whirlwind barrage of offense. Time: (8:27).

The tag-team feature between Harlem Heat and The Stays was pure action, from bell to bell, and the crowd enjoyed every second! Stevie Ray and Redd Dogg flexed their power, and Road Dogg and Booker T's agility and skill were equally impressive. This match teeter-tottered back and forth, with timely tags, double-teaming, and a splash brutality for good measure. Tonight however the upset was in play, as THE STRAYS defeated Sister Sherri's men with a real scrapper of a finish! As Road Dogg slows Stevie's final pin save attempt, Redd pins a heavily double-teamed Booker T after delivering a textbook spinebuster!
Time: (15:29).

********INTERMISSION********

**GNW FRONTIER CHAMPIONSHIP**
Frontier Champion Kevin Sullivan, had a successful albeit difficult first title defense as he faced The Great Malenko tonight in Moose Jaw! This was a violent, unpredictable spectacle, between two very, very well matched combatants! Sullivan held the evil edge, but the grit and toughness was THE GREAT ONE'S counter attack and it was almost successful! BUT even after 2 RUSSIAN SICKLES, Sullivan still summoned the strength and resolve to come back and keep his title! After a violent head to head melee on the outside, that ended with Sullivan suplexing Malenko on the arena floor, the Champ tossed his foe quickly back into the ring and finished him off. KEVIN pins his beaten foe with a PILEDRIVER. YOUR WINNER AND STILL GNW FRONTIER CHAMPION. ........"The Taskmaster" Kevin Sullivan!!! Time: (9:33).

Curt Hennig got his first taste of FIGHT CLUB tonight, and was left wanting more! Curt won the battle but not the war, in a very contentious meeting with FC's newest member BAD NEWS ALLEN! Hennig matched Allen move for move, hold for hold, and even held his own in the punishment department as well! His quickness was the edge tonight as he was all over and around his opponent and the result was bad news for BAD NEWS! In fact Allen was so upset by Hennig's hit and run offense, he uses a low-blow to slow Curt, and then tosses him to the floor! Outside he is quickly DISQUALIFIED for dropping Hennig ribs first onto the steel guardrails. Ken Shamrock raced his way up from the back, and Allen/Shamrock had their way with the helpless Hennig.......UNTIL the most unlikely of saviors rushes out from the back in the form of BLACKJACK MULLIGAN!! He pulls Allen off of Curt and boots him right in the mush, then clubs Shamrock in the back of the noggin, sending him crashing to the floor. Quickly Allen scoops Shamrock up off the floor and they high-tail it to the back. A confused but appreciative Hennig is helped to the back by MULLIGAN! Winner by DQ CURT HENNIG.
Time: (10:13).

**NO DISQUALIFICATION MAIN EVENT**
The night came to a head in our MAIN EVENT, with KEN SHAMROCK facing BLACKJACK MULLIGAN!!!! The crowd was primed (by the previous match) and the tension was thick in the air! Shamrock, with Bad News Allen in his corner sneered as Mulligan strode to the ring, the crowd chanting his name. As soon as the bell rings, all HELL breaks loose. Shamrock threw his agility and quickness advantage out the window, instead he met Mulligan on his own turf.....BRAWLING and BATTERING. They traded blows all over the ring and the arena. Blood was flowing from both men, as they battled non-stop. Mulligan put Ken through the time-keeper's table, and Shamrock corkscrew DDT'd Mulligan on the floor in front of the concession stand! Finally back inside the ring, Shamrock switched gears and used his devastating MMA skills of kicks, chokes, strikes etc., and Mulligan started to buckle under the constant assault! After a German suplex, Shamrock climbs to the top of the turnbuckle and waits for the battered Mulligan to get to his feet! Then KEN nearly takes Blackjack's head off with a Dropkick off the top rope, and covers him for the 1,2,3! Then Shamrock motions for BAD NEWS to enter the ring, and they proceeded to beat the hell out of a beaten Mulligan! The crowd was yelling in disbelief as Mulligan took blow after blow from Allen/Shamrock. .....then out rushes .........a heavily bandaged CURT HENNIG, chair in hand and anger in his eyes. Before Shamrock or Allen realizes his presence he delivers 2 arena echoing chair-shots one to Allen (head) ,then onto Shamrock (ribs) as the crowd wailed in delight! He quickly clears FIGHT CLUB from the ring, and they limp their way to the back! Hennig then helps Mulligan to his feet and they nod to each other, before Hennig departs. Then Mulligan exits the ring a blood soaked mess, as the crowd chants in support .
Time: (18:37).
