Consuelo Salyards vs. Adam Sanchez
Announcer: This match is one fall and it is a non-title matchup. First. Coming down the aisle, weighing in at 225 pounds. This is The Enforcer. Adam Sanchez! And his opponent. Coming down the aisle, along with the giant, Gustaffson. She is the North American Champion. This is the Latin Lover, Consuelo Salyards!!
Ed: This could be a great chance for Sanchez if he can upend the North American Champion here, it could thrust him very high in the ratings.
Biff: Salyards has had a wonderful lucky streak that ends right here now that a real man has stepped up to the plate.
Ed: We’ve also just been informed that the North American Championship will be on the line at Press Your Luck as Consuelo Salyards will defend in a best 2 of three falls match, home court advantage rules. As she takes on former OWA Champion Executioner.

Biff: Just wait a minute! That’s no upset. Sanchez is a former OWA Champion. Just cause he’s been gone, that don’t mean nothing. I predicted he would beat her and he did!
Ed: Non-title event only. Salyards is still the North American Champion.
Biff: Yeah but he should be getting the next shot at that belt.
Ed: Let’s go down to ringside.
Mariko vs. Crimson Scorpion
Announcer: This match is for pinfall or submission, with a 30 minute time limit. Coming down the aisle with giant Gustaffson. She weighs in at 167 pounds. This is Mariko! And her opponent. Accompanied by Diamond Brett Robbins, weighing in at 295 pounds. This is the Crimson Scorpion!
Ed: Mariko looking very intense for this one, Biff. She wants a little payback for her loss to the Scorpion in the Press Your Luck tourney.
Biff: I’ll put my money on the Scorpion to win again. Mariko’s looked flat to me lately. Well, as flat as a Femme can look, anyway. I mean, if Mariko’s costume were any tighter --
Ed: Biff! Get your mind out of the gutter for once, will you?
Biff: Just tellin’ it like it is!
Ed: There’s the bell -- and Crimson Scorpion with a clothesline from behind! It knocks her into the turnbuckle hard. He’s backing up, taking a running start -- Stinger Splash! He’s got Mariko on the ropes already!
Biff: Stupid twit shouldn’t a had her back turned! Now he’s choking away with one of his MP Inc. T-shirts! The ref counts up to four, and Scorp tosses the T-shirt to the crowd!
Ed: Mariko back to her feet, the Scorpion whips her into the ropes. She ducks a clothesline, rebounds. Shoulderblock! Scorp back to his feet, Mariko jumps and takes him over with a headscissors!
Biff: Scorp back up, and eats a dropkick. He backs away as Mariko drops into a stance. He doesn’t want to face that spinning crescent kick of Mariko’s this early!
Ed: They lock up again, and Scorpion with a knee to the midsection. He grabs her and tosses her through the ropes! She hits the apron and tumbles down to the floor!
Biff: NOW we’ll see some action! Scorp has the ref distracted while Diamond Brett Robbins sets her up on a table. Now Scorp with a running start, he jumps -- somersault plancha down onto Mariko!
Ed: But the table didn’t break! That had to hurt!!!
Biff: Yeah, but Mariko still took the worst of it. He’s pulls her off, and slings her back into the ring. Cover -- one, two, thr -- kickout! He almost had her!
Ed: Almost is the operative word. She’s still in this match. Scorpion pulls her up, sets her up -- piledriver! He really stuck her!
Biff: This is academic! For cryin’ out loud, just give him the match before he hurts the little girl!
Ed: It won’t be that easy, Biff. She kicks out of another cover, and now Scorp has her up -- bodyslam! Now an elbowdrop, and he’s up and giving a double thumbs-up to Diamond Brett Robbins!
Biff: I tell ya, these MP Inc. guys can wrestle! And did you catch that Robbins chat on Prodigy the other night?
Ed: No, I think I was doing something more important, like scrubbing my bathtub. Scorpion slings Mariko into the corner, and hits her with a series of lefts and rights. Cross-corner whip, and Mariko hits HARD. He signals to the crowd, and takes a running start. Stinger Splash -- NO!!! Mariko dodges, and Scorp tumbles over the buckle and down to the floor!
Biff: Big tactical mistake on his part! Diamond Brett over to help, and Mariko back to her feet. She takes a running start, HUGE LEAP -- SHE CLEARS THE ROPES AND COMES DOWN ON BOTH OF THEM!!!
Ed: What an incredible move! Mariko with a furious look on her face, she pitches the Crimson Scorpion back into the ring, and heads for the top rope. Scorpion up he turns, she jumps! Bodypress -- NO!!! He REVERSES it into a powerslam!!! Cover! One! Two! Three! NO!!! The ref says she got her shoulder up at the last second!!!
Biff: GREAT reaction from the Scorpion! He backs into the ropes and scores with a big kneedrop. He hooks the leg, one, two -- another kickout. What does it take to keep her down?
Ed: I’m guessing that Mariko’s really determined to take this match to the limit. He’s yanking her up by the hair, backs her into the ropes. A big chop! Now another! One more!
Biff: Listen to those moron fans yell, WHOOO!!! What’s that all about?
Ed: Biff, if you don’t know by now. Scorp picks up Mariko, and puts her on the top turnbuckle. He climbs up, signals -- OH MY GOD!!! He STICKS her with a top-rope inverted power bomb!!!
Biff: GOOD GRIEF!!! What a devastating move!!!
Ed: And Crimson giving the crowd a quick kata! He should be down on Mariko!!!
Biff: It won’t matter! She’s OUT!!!
Ed: Scorp now taking his time making the cover. One. two. three!!! No, her foot was on the rope! Crimson thinks he’s won, but the ref is waving it off!
Biff: She is the luckiest wrestler I’ve ever seen! Scorpion had her dead to rights!
Ed: Mariko’s held gold before, she’s tough! Scorpion is frustrated, but he turns and pulls Mariko back up. A scoop and a slam, now he’s headed for the top!!!
Biff: If he sticks this, it’s through! She’s in the middle of the ring!
Ed: He’s turned to face the crowd, making a throat-slitting motion! Now he jumps, moonsault --
Biff: NOBODY HOME!!! Mariko dodging aside at the last second!!!
Ed: Mariko getting her second wind, she’s pulling herself to stand! She’s got a furious look on her face!
Biff: Scorp might be in trouble! And she’s hitting him with a succession of chops and kicks to his body! A spinning thrust kick
