[2001-02-10-MCW-TV] Russ & Charlie Haas vs Spanky & Shooter Schultz

[GSR]

A quick pre-match interview from ‘the Kliq’, and Jason Sensation has added Kurt Angle to his repertoire of impressions although this isn’t one of his best.  Shooter Schultz issues a warning to the Haas’ telling them that this isn’t the amateurs, it’s professional wrestling and reminds them that his name isn’t ‘Sports Entertainment’ Schultz, it isn’t ‘cut a good promo’ Schultz, it’s Shooter Schultz, and to remember what that means.

Shooter cranks on a hammerlock that Charlie is able to reverse.  Top wristlock take down followed by a deep arm drag, and Shooter resorts to punching his way out of the armbar as Charlie seems to have his number when it comes to straight up wrestling.  Good aggression from him as he then hammers away on Haas in the corner.  He whips him to the opposite one but Charlie tips up over and fires back with some rights of his own.  Tag to Russ and, with Charlie down on all fours, he handsprings off his brother’s back splashing Shooter against the turnbuckles and getting the first two count of the match.  Spanky is in to try and help his partner out but runs straight into a superkick.  Shooter reverses the Irish whip and a knee to the mid-section takes the wind out of Russ, stopping him in his tracks.  Stomachbreaker before just dumping him chest first across the top rope.  Spanky badly overshoots the springboard guillotine leg drop, missing Russ completely who has to take the bump back into the ring anyway.  Slingshot splash.  Another springboard and Spanky is looking really sloppy here so far.  He nails Charlie on the apron, bringing him into the ring, although that’s just what they wanted as with the referee now trying to get him back on the outside ‘the Kliq’ can double team his brother.  Double underhook suplex by Shooter for a near fall.  They’re throwing everything they’ve got at Russ but are unable to put him away with Jason Sensation complaining about the apparent slowness of the official’s count.  Slingshot senton, although this time Russ gets his knees up.  Overhead belly to belly and he makes the take to his brother.  Charlie is all over Shooter until he’s caught from behind by ‘Sliced Bread #2’ (erroneously called an ‘Acid Drop’) courtesy of Spanky.  ‘Shooter clutch’, but Russ has recovered from his earlier beating to make the save as now all four men are in the ring.  Release German suplex on Shooter and a Spanky dropkick sends Russ under the bottom rope and to the floor.  Frog splash, however that’s taken as much out of Spanky as it has Charlie and as he staggers around the ring clutching at his ribs, Russ with a slingshot shoulder block.  Shooter is there to break up the pin in the nick of time but Charlie then plants him with a powerslam.  Handspring moonsault/corkscrew leg drop finisher, now known as ‘Total Haastility’ and the brothers pick up the hard fought victory.  The Dupps jump ‘the Kliq’ after the match as payback for last week, and we get a brief taster of what’s scheduled for the ‘Showdown at the Nutthouse’ as they also go at it with the Haas’ too before thinking better of it and deciding to leave it until the 21^st. 

A longer than expected match that had the chance to build.   I don’t know what was up with Spanky today as he looked the worst of the four and it was almost like he’d regressed a year with how sloppy he was;  I’m sure that’s just a one off though.  Pretty elaborate closing stretch and nice that the Haas brothers’ finisher has finally been given a name now.
