The Double Dropkick Show

 

3 Count Pro Wrestling returned to Liberty, SC for their Ultimate Betrayal show.  Here’s the full report:

Ace Armstrong called Josh Oglesby to the ring to address why he turned on Jay Batista at the last show.  After berating the fans for not supporting him enough while he was injured he renounced his American citizenship and christened himself The Scottish Prince.  He then called JC  Harper and Scott Stallion out.  They pledged their loyalty to him and to Scotland by kissing the “royal shoe” and formed the Highland Embassy.  Scott Stallion was given the name the Scottish Stallion while JC Harper was named the Duke of St. Andrews.  Ace Armstrong refused to kiss the “royal shoe” and was attacked and injured following a chair shot to his arm.  Commissioner Eric Boughman announced that a handicap match had been made for later in the show featuring Gunner, Jay Batista, and Ace Armstrong vs. Josh Oglesby and The Scottish Stallion.  The Duke JC Harper would be banned from the match.

1.  Cruzer Lewis and Brute Force #2 fought to double countout with Brute Force #2 leaving the arena after shoving a referee.

2.  Dirty and Nick Kismet defeated the Sons of Steel via pinfall following a flying body press by Dirty.  Both teams played to the crowd effectively and this was a great old school style match that went 17 minutes.  It is amazing how hyped a crowd can get simply by chanting “yes” or “no.”  Following the loss Brice Anthony and Boomer Payne teased some tension, but hugged it out in the end.

Commissioner Eric Boughman returned to inform Brute Force #2 that he wouldn’t get paid for a match that didn’t have a finish and ordered him to face Scotty Mathews.

3.  Scotty Mathews pinned Brute Force #2 following a back seat stunner aka “the back seat of my jeep.”  During the match Cruzer Lewis interfered to attack Scotty Matthew who he had faced at the 2 previous 3 Count Shows.  Great finish as Scotty caught Brute Force #2 who was going for the Undertaker walk the ropes spot.

Near the end of the intermission, Josh Oglesby and The Scottish Stallion attacked Gunner at his table.

As the 6 man match was set to begin, JC Harper was banned from ringside by Commissioner Boughman and Jay Batista was informed that both Gunner and Ace Armstrong were still receiving medical treatment.  He would have to start the match alone.  Just a minute or 2 into the match Gunner made his way to the ring to even things up.

4.  Jay Batista and Gunner defeated Josh Oglesby and The Scottish Stallion when Gunner pinned Stallion with the spear.  There were lots of USA chants during this match.  Batista and Gunner showcased their power moves while The Highland Embassy played the heels perfectly.

5.  Eric Bradford pinned Ken Magnum with a roll up to retain the 3 Count Heavyweight Title.  Magnum had the match won following a double arm DDT, but someone’s music hit to halt the count.  While Magnum called for the person to show their face Bradford snuck up from behind and made the pin.

Following the match Magnum cut a promo proclaiming he would not rest until he was the 3 Count Champion and he would find out who cost him the match.  The next show was announced for September in Anderson, SC.

The original intent of this episode was to discuss some great matches from 1992 that perhaps had been looked over by many people. Once we cover the history of the coal miners glove match this turns into the one where we leave them wanting more about 1992. The laughter starts with the funniest Jake Roberts story I have ever heard. I have never had so much fun recording a podcast and hopefully this episode will bring a smile to your face.
