[2001-01-31-OVW-Christmas Chaos] Suicide Blondes (Derrick King & Jason Lee) & Rip Rogers vs Chris Michaels & Sean Casey & Buddy Landell

[GSR]

A six-man tag team match pitting the ‘Suicide Blondes’ against Chris Michaels, Sean Casey & Phil Fair, with the added stipulations that should the Blondes win then Fair has to kiss each one of them on the backside, however should they lose, they will have to shave their heads in the middle of the ring. As Fair makes his way down the aisle he’s got his arm in a sling and is wearing a neck brace, as a suspicious Cornette says how he saw him only 45 minutes ago and he looked fine then. Fair informs everyone that he slipped on some spilt gravy in Kenny Bolin’s locker room and has a broken arm and fractured neck. He has found a suitable replacement though, one of the greatest wrestlers ever and the only true blonde in professional wrestling other than himself... It’s Buddy Landell wearing a hideous orange tracksuit and looking like a giant pumpkin! Lee clips the knee out from under Casey and gives him a basement dropkick to the back of the head. Fast paced action between Michaels and King but as Michaels heads upstairs he’s not quick enough and DK crotches him on the top turnbuckle. Top rope frankensteiner for a two. King with a tip up over a charging Michaels, however when he tries it a second time Michaels snatches and then ‘Alabama slams’ him to the mat. To quote Corny “he tags the pumpkin, I mean the ‘Nature Boy’”. Budro still throws a mean looking right hand. Reverse crossbody by DK, but Landell catches him and drops him across his knee with a backbreaker. Casey and Michaels work the double team, although neither the combination dropkick/spinebuster nor the double clothesline are enough to put King away. Michaels telegraphs the backdrop and DK plants him with a facebuster. Tag to Lee whom takes it to everyone, including clocking Landell who’s on the apron not paying attention. ‘Lee-sault’ (I can’t believe Cornette is still calling it that) on Michaels and Budro is in to break up the cover. Fair tries to interfere when he’s grabbed by Lee and flipped into the ring. “The dreaded Noogie punch” by Rogers, the Blondes pile on Fair, and with Casey et al dealt with, there’s no-one to make the save and he’s got some backsides to kiss. It doesn’t look like Landell was the wisest investment, as he’s got his cheque and isn’t hanging around to help Fair now. One by one Fair is forced to kiss those asses, with Corny having a particularly disgusting way of describing Rip’s.

 

We cut to Michaels and Casey in the bathroom waiting for Fair who is being sick in one of the cubicles. Apparently he’s been in there over an hour already, but vows revenge on the Blondes and promising to shave their heads no matter what.

 

I wonder how many times Cornette’s pulled that swerve like he did with Fair here over the years? I’m sure I remember seeing it plenty of times in Smoky Mountain for starters. Not sure what the whole point of Landell was here? He wasn’t dressed for wrestling and bar one cameo that was pretty much the extent of his involvement in this. Did Cornette not realise what shape he was in until he showed up on the night and then told him to keep covered up? A perfectly fine five minute match with the stronger workers carrying the load.

Lame match here and the ass kissing stipulation does nothing for me. I love BUdro but he looked like he would rather be anywhere else. I don't this match accomplished much in making any of the up and comers look specifically impressive. *1/2
