[2001-01-27-MPPW-TV] The Dupps vs Russ & Charlie Haas

[GSR]

Quick backstage interview from the Haas brothers, Charlie saying how he and his brother have captured every title imaginable in amateur wrestling and today, on the Power Hour, they will capture the Southern tag team titles.

The Dupps grab a word with Corey prior to the bout and Jack doesn’t take too kindly to his belief that they’ll have their hands full and wonders whether they’ll have to kill someone before he finally starts giving them some credit.  They’ve been here for four months now and annihilated everyone that’s been put in the ring with them.  He doesn’t care what kind of amateurs the Haas’ were as today they’re going to find out who the toughest team in pro wrestling is.  Good promo from him.

Dave compares the Haas brothers to the Fabulous Ones, in the way that they’ve lit up the territory since they arrived, which is some pretty hefty praise indeed.  Corey on the other hand is struggling to identify which brother is which!  Charlie with a series of nice arm drags.  Double team slingshot shoulderblock.  Double suplex on Bo and Jack is in to break up the cover.  Charlie, on the apron, takes exception, but as he remonstrates with the referee the Dupps double team his brother behind his back.  The champions look to have things under control when out strolls Blade Boudreaux carrying a giant teddy bear.  Blade heads over to Dave and Corey and says how the Dupps like to talk about how tough they are, but look at what he found in their luggage.  Bo spots him with the bear and immediately takes off after him, chasing him to the dressing room.  Russ frees himself from the reverse chinlock and lands a flying forearm.  Hot tag to Charlie but there’s no-one for Jack to tag, he’s all alone in there.  The Haas’ hit their moonsault/corkscrew legdrop finisher and as it looks like we’ve got ourselves new tag team champions, Bo returns at the very last second, stomping the referee for the title saving DQ.  Bo is pissed!  He throws the official from the ring, drills the brothers with a chair and when Jack tries to reason with him, he throws him down too.  Security get destroyed with a chair until eventually Jack does manage to calm him down and get him out of there, Dave and Corey fleeing the scene though as it appears he’s heading their way.  All that destruction over a giant bear!

Dupp with promo and it was fine. Another decent studio match this week. Haas brothers look better to me and certainly easy to see how they were pegged as the higher prospect. Blade Bordeaux comes out with a teddy bear and says it is the Dupps in a lame angle. That causes Bo to go nuts and cause the DQ when he slings  a chair against everyone. The show ends with Corey and Dave bailing from the set. That was pretty hilarious. *3/4
