Recommended Posts

Promoter: Don Owen

Venue: KPTV 12 Portland, Oregon

Announcers: Don Coss & Dutch Savage

Date: Friday July 27th

Length of program 2 Hours

 

Don Coss: Welcome to our special 2 hour program to determine the PNW Heavyweight Champion and the PNW Tag Team Champions. After the semi-finals were over, we had an interesting development. We had 2 wrestlers “Hangman” Bobby Jaggers & “Hacksaw” Brett Sawyer, who made it to the finals of both Tournaments. Everything that both wrestlers worked so hard to get to, could all come down to which wrestler can stay the healthiest going into the final match. I just received word that Dutch Savage has a special announcement. Over to you Dutch.

 

Dutch Savage: I just received this message from Promoter Don Owen which says the following about tonight’s 2 Championship matches. The tag team finals will go on first, but there will be a stipulation for the ending of the match. The partners of both Bobby Jaggers & Brett Sawyer will have 2 minutes after the pinfall to leave the ringside area. Failure to do so will cause the titles to be vacated and a determination of what the next step will be, will be announced at a later date. Tonight should be a barn burner.

 

Finals for the PNW Tag Team Championship: 1 Hour Time Limit

 

“Hangman” Bobby Jaggers & “Flamboyant” Eric Embry (with Captain Lou Albano) come to the ring first to a studio full of boos and catcalls. Jaggers & Embry both have huge smiles on their faces and are yelling to the crowd that the belts are going with them tonight.

 

Here comes “Hacksaw” Sawyer & “Quickdraw” Rick McGraw to a deafening roar from the crowd.

 

Jaggers & Sawyer will start the match. Jaggers is acting very cocky and shoves sawyer to the mat. Sawyer jumps up and slugs Jaggers right in the mouth and the brawl is on. The first 10 minutes is back & forth action with both teams tagging in and out. At the 17 minute mark, Embry takes control when Sawyer misses a drop kick and lands hard on his neck. Referee Sandy Barr goes over to check on Sawyer, but Embry nudges him out of his way. The next 6 minutes consists of Embry & Jaggers working on Sawyer’s neck with various neck twists & chin locks. Now a turning point in the match is when Jaggers gives Sawyer and Irish Whip into the ropes and Sawyer goes up high for a back body drop, but he lands on his neck again. Sawyer is in obvious pain and Jaggers quickly pounces on Sawyer and throws him to the outside where Embry can do some damage. Embry jumps down and before Rick McGraw can get over to help out, delivers a brain buster to the concrete floor. McGraw checks on Sawyer, but Embry sneaks up from behind and hits McGraw with an elbow to the back of the head. Embry grbas Sawyer by the hair and throws him back to a waiting Jaggers.

 

The crowd is now in shock as Sawyer’s face is dripping in blood and Jaggers lets out a scream in delight. Jaggers now goes to work on the already injured neck with a series of suplexs. The announcer mentions to everyone that 40 minutes have now passed. McGraw is leading the cheers for Sawyer as they yell” GO HACKSAW GO”. The team of Jaggers & Embry have been tagging in & out for the past 5 minutes, but they haven’t went for a cover yet. Sawyer is a bloody mess and it appears the end is almost near. The crowd for some reason stands up and sees Albano heading towards McGraw and beings to taunt him. This allows Jaggers to tag Embry, who climbs to the top rope. Jaggers sets Sawyer into position for a pile driver. Jaggers then walks over towards the corner and lifts Sawyer up for the pile driver. He holds him there for about 15 seconds and then Embry comes crashing down from the top and they deliver a spike piledriver to the already injured Sawyer. Embry then goes for the cover, 1…2…thr, no, Embry pulls a lifeless Sawyer up by the hair to stop the count. At this moment, Barr starts to yell at Embry and tells him to not to do that again. McGraw is livid and jumps into the ring and starts to pound on Embry. Referee Barr tells McGraw to leave the ring and this allows Jaggers to come in and to help double team Sawyer. McGraw is looking around for something outside the ring, while Jaggers is told to get back on the ring apron. Embry tags in a now legal Jaggers who sets Sawyer up for another piledriver. He lifts Sawyer up into position and while that is happening, McGraw throws a towel into the ring that Sandy Barr notices. It’s too late as Jaggers hits Sawyer with another piledriver and injures Sawyer’s neck even more-so. Barr grabs the towel and calls for the bell. Jaggers & Embry stop as Barr calls for the ring announcer. The following announcement is made.

 

In 48:22, Rick McGraw threw in the towel and thus gave the match to the NEW PNW Tag Team Champions, “Hangman” Bobby Jaggers & “Flamboyant” Eric Embry.

The crowd are yelling at the decision as Jaggers/Embry & Albano celebrate. Barr calls for the ringside Doctor to come in and check on Sawyer and the extent of his injury.

 

Program goes to a quick break for 2 local commercials

Back in the ring, Embry & McGraw have already left ringside, while the Doctor & Referee Barr check on Sawyer. Jaggers is yelling to Barr that the 2 minutes are up and the match needs to start or forfeit the belt to him. Sandy Barr nods and asks the Doctor to leave the ring so the PNW Championship final can start.

 

The bell rings and Jaggers goes on the attack. He picks Sawyer up and chucks him to the outside like a sack of potatoes. Jaggers leaves the ring and starts to stomp on a prone Sawyer. Barr starts the 10 count and then Jaggers picks Sawyer up and nails Sawyer with another piledriver on the concrete floor. The crowd are in total freak-out mode while Jaggers heads back to the ring to stop the count. Jaggers then leaves the ring again and picks Sawyer back up to throw in back to the inside. Sawyer is now a crimson mess with blood even dripping down his chest. Jaggers is cocky and starts to work over Sawyer some more. It appears that he wants to put Sawyer out for good and eliminate a contender who can take the belt. For the next 15 minutes, it’s all Jaggers and like in the tag team match, he doesn’t once try and pin Sawyer.

 

25 minutes have now passed and Jaggers picks up Sawyer and sets him up for a devastating shoulder breaker. He hits the move not once, not twice, not even 3 or 4 times. He delivers the move 8 times before dropping Sawyer to the canvas. Jaggers finally goes for the first cover of the match, 1….2…..SAWYER KICKS OUT AT 2 ½!!! Jaggers can’t believes that Sawyer kicked out. The crowd starts to stir as the excitement builds that Sawyer might be able to amount a comeback. This excitement is short-lived as Jaggers hits Sawyer with a knee drop to his head. Jaggers continues to work on Sawyer on the mat for the next 5 minutes. Almost 35 minutes have passed and no one can believe that Jaggers hasn’t tried and put Sawyer away again. Another 10 minutes passes and Jaggers is STILL working on that injured neck Finally at the 52 minute mark, Albano tells Jaggers to “finish the maggot off”. Jaggers nods his head in agreement and gives Sawyer a German suplex and goes for the cover, 1…2…KICK OUT. Sawyer is still alive and breathing.

 

For the next 6 minutes, Jaggers does everything in his power to put Sawyer away, but he can’t! Jaggers is now looking really worried and is starting to hit Sawyer with kicks and slams, but nothing is working as Sawyer appears to be getting stronger with every passing second. Jaggers tries a hail Mary by hitting another brain buster and starts to climb to the top rope. Jagers leaps down onto Sawyer, but misses as Sawyer rolls out of the way and both wrestlers are down on the canvas. Referee Barr starts a 10 count and as Barr get to the count of 8, the bell rings. The 1 hour time limit has passed.

 

Promoter Don Owen comes to ringside and grabs the mike. He says that there is roughly 10 minutes left in the program and the match will continue. With that announcement and Jaggers is already back up off the mat, he grabs Sawyer, who was still laying prone on his back and starts to lay a beating onto Sawyer. For the next 5 minutes, Sawyer is still staying alive as Jaggers continues his might to try and put Sawyer away. Jaggers then hits a beautiful butterfly suplex and goes heads over for the cover. Just as Jaggers gets to Sawyer, Sawyer is up on his knees and is able to grab Jaggers and uses Jaggers as a way to pull himself up. Jaggers swings and misses at Sawyer and Hacksaw slips behind Jaggers and rolls up Jaggers for a pin attempt, 1….2……3!!!!!!!!! The crowd explodes into excitement as the cameras are actually starting to shake from the noise. Jaggers is stunned as Sawyer falls to the mat and rolls to the concrete floor. Referee Sandy Barr raises Sawyer’s arm and hands him the Championship.

 

The ring announcer makes the following announcement.

At 1:08 minutes, the winner and NEW PNW Heavyweight Champion, “Hacksaw” Brett Sawyer!!!
