If my writing is a little off this week it's due to the fact I messed my nose up Thursday and lost a lot of blood. I was still kind of feeling it when I wrote this yesterday.
Hosts are Mike Teney and Don West
Buck Quartermain (0-4), Lex Lovett (0-5) and David Young (1-3) vs. 3 Live Kru (1-1)
Konnan and Lovett start the match. Lockup and Konnan gets a hammerlock. Konnan sends Lovett into the corner and throws his shoe at him. What's with Konnan and throwing his shoe? The worst part is the crowd seems to love it. Buck gets hit with the shoe and Killings tags in. Killings hits an armdrag followed by an Oklahoma Slam. 3 Live Kru uses a triple team guillotine legdrop to the groin while the ref's back is turned. James stays in. Buck hits James on the ropes and James knocks Buck and Lovett off the apron. Young hits a spinebuster and tags Buck in. Buck drops a knee and rams James into the corner. James gets triple teamed. Lovett tags in and hits a snapmare. Lovett works over the neck. Lovett slams James and tags Young in. Young hits a dropkick and covers for two. Buck tags in. James fights back and gets a headlock. Back and forth until they run into each other. James gets a schoolboy for one. Buck hits a clothesline followed by a legdrop. Lovett tags in and James hits them with duel clotheslines. Buck grabs James foot but gets kicked off. Hot tag time as Killings comes in and destroys the heels. A brawl erupts and Killings hits the axe kick on Young at 5:01. Half of the crowd is holding a shoe up in the air. I still don't get it. I'm starting to find that I look forward to 3 Live Kru appearances as Killings and James are becoming one of my favorite combos in wrestling. *
