[2001-01-13-MPPW-TV] Russ & Charlie Haas vs Rodney & Pete Gas

[GSR]

Following a year long absence, making his return to the Power Hour is Grandmaster Sexay, Brian Christopher. Before they get started he informs Dave and Corey that whoever is going to conduct this interview with Too Cool is going to have to do it ‘Too Cool style’! He pulls out a chain and passes that to Corey before putting some shades on him and a bright yellow beanie hat. They’ve supposedly got Scotty 2 Hotty live by satellite to say a few words, but I’d be amazed if that was the case and it wasn’t pre-taped. When they return to the studio the Mean Street Posse head out to join the Grandmaster. Rodney tells him that he may have been someone here a long time ago, but the Mean Street Posse rule Memphis now. Sexay calls them a pair of jabronis and, even though they have a match tonight, offers to face either one in the ring right now. Corey and Dave put the kibosh on that as there is already a match set and want to get the Posse’s opponents out here so they can get it underway. Dave tries to calm GMS down telling him he can get his hands on them this evening, although he decides to stick around for a bit to watch proceedings up close.

 

The Posse jump the brothers from behind and are able to get a little double team action in on Charlie after throwing Russ to the outside. Sit out slam by Gas. Charlie with the float over and he drops Pete with a reverse DDT. A pair of tags and Russ takes it to the Posse. The Haas’ hit their handspring moonsault/corkscrew leg drop finisher, but Rodney with the save. Double clothesline by Russ. He heads up top and its obvious what is coming next as the official is stood ridiculously close to Gas right behind him. Yup, he dives out the way and Russ takes out the referee with a flying crossbody. Pete pulls out some brass knux and GMS says “this isn’t gonna happen” as he leaves his position at the commentary desk to help the brothers. Sexay hooks Pete’s right arm as he’s about to clock Russ, drops him and then levels Rodney with a superkick. He puts Russ on top as William Gibson comes around to count the fall. The Posse jump the Grandmaster after the match and are still beating on him as we head for a break.

 

Another short Haas brother’s match, although this was all about adding a bit of spice to the Too Cool/Mean Street Posse match at ‘Corinth Chaos’. Glad they protected their finisher, although it’s a shame we’re still getting those predictable and terrible looking ref bumps in Memphis.
