00:00Hayes, as the powers of pain look on, Albert, here they are, the tag team champions of the world.
00:09What an awesome combination they are, too.
00:13And without a doubt, in this clash here, this collision, we are seeing the two most dominant teams, and they're
00:19already into it.
00:22Already into the ring, out goes the Barbarian, as Axe sends him out, still the Warlord, and Smash going at
00:28it in the corner to the left.
00:31And the referee here, just managing to keep control of these four huge men, and what I was going to
00:39say is, these two teams are the most dominant we have ever witnessed in the World Wrestling Federation.
00:45They are huge men, both teams weighing in excess of 600 pounds, with a slight weight favor, weight edge in
00:55favor of the powers of pain.
00:59Axe comes in, double teams, sending the Warlord to the other side, and there, oops, double clothesline.
01:05And the Warlord hits hard, as Mr. Fuji looks on, Axe continues his assault.
01:10And at this point, Tony, the world champions look in really in great shape.
01:16In fact, I don't think I've ever seen powers of pain give away the advantages so quickly in a match.
01:25As you hear and see Axe talking with Mr. Fuji, real important when you're going up against arch enemies or
01:34a team that you really have a stern dislike for,
01:38or that you really get an early advantage, I would think.
01:40Definitely.
01:42And to get on top is not only a great physical advantage at this stage, but it's a great mental
01:48advantage as well,
01:49because if you can do that right now in the opening minutes, surely you can keep up this offense all
01:54the time.
01:55Nobody there.
01:56Maybe not that way.
01:59Hit the turnbuckle, and a tag.
02:02Here comes now the giant Barbarian.
02:05A good intelligent change there by powers of pain.
02:11Warlord tugging his partner Barbarian, a very, very fresh man,
02:15and they're trying to cut the ring in half and keep Axe in the ring.
02:21Catchy low foot.
02:26Basically right there, upsetting the apple cart, and now Smash is doing exactly what the name implies,
02:32right on the back of the Barbarian.
02:40Another quick change there by Demolition.
02:43You know, you would think, and so far, Demolition, certainly living up to the name here,
02:51when you have teams that appear to be physically so equally matched,
02:56that it gets down to the team with the best teamwork on any particular night is the team that's going
03:00to win.
03:02Really, and another thing that Demolition have got to watch for so closely here is that devious one right just
03:09there.
03:10And that is why they openly accepted that challenge that they have done for Wrestlemania 5.
03:17Look at this!
03:18The team has got Mr. Fuji with that cane that he uses so adroitly around the jaw of Axe.
03:28And Axe down on the canvas now.
03:31Well, I tell you, it has certainly changed the complexion of this match.
03:35And, Lord Alfred, you mentioned about the acceptance of the match during Wrestlemania 5.
03:41They won Mr. Fuji.
03:44And Demolition asked for Mr. Fuji to be in tights where they could keep an eye on him.
03:50Now, basically, if he's in tights, he's not going to have the cane with him.
03:54And that scenario would not have happened.
03:56It certainly wouldn't.
03:58And there's two ways of looking at this from both these teams' points of view.
04:02One, Mr. Fuji insists that he laid a trap and that Demolition didn't read the small print.
04:08The other one is that the Demolition willingly accepted this match because that's exactly what they want to do.
04:14What you said, Tony, is keep their eyes on Mr. Fuji all the time.
04:19And the only way they can do that is to have him in the ring there.
04:22And this is the very first time ever that a world championship will be decided where it's three against two.
04:29It's for the World Wrestling Federation Tag Team Championship during Wrestlemania.
04:35Demolition against the powers of pain.
04:37And like you said, Lord Alfred with Mr. Fuji, a third man, a tag team partner, and three-on-two
04:44basically is what it amounts to.
04:46And what a tremendous wrestling move that was by the Barbarian.
04:50He picked up Axe with very little effort at all here.
04:53Such a powerful man and pulling down in a devastating shoulder breaker.
04:57And now is applying a lot more force there, inches away from that all-important tag.
05:04Barbarian with kind of a leg sweep right there, moved Smash away, but Axe still fighting back.
05:10But now he'll have to fight two men as Smash comes in from the other side.
05:15The referee's attention on that other side, enabling the Warlord to hang right on now to the shoulder of Axe.
05:36Demolition, they are struggling a little bit here against powers of pain.
05:40That is the Warlord, the biggest of all these four men in the ring at the moment,
05:44handing out a lot of punishment to Axe.
05:48Oh, what a move.
05:50What a move.
05:52Oh.
05:53He has absolutely stomped Axe, and Demolition now are laboring heavily.
06:01That was as vicious of a backhand as you'll find.
06:04A chop, and it literally sent Axe right to the floor.
06:10Well, it stands to reason.
06:16They will try to wear down the champions as best they can.
06:23And that big blow for the Barbarian.
06:26And a headbutt.
06:27You can honestly see why Demolition won Mr. Fuji in the ring.
06:30They certainly don't want him as a fifth column on the outside there,
06:34waging an offense with that weapon that he uses, that cane he calls it.
06:41We've talked so much about the power and the strength,
06:43not only of the powers of pain, but also of Demolition.
06:46Now let's talk about the durability, the resilience.
06:50Axe, he's absorbing a lot of blows,
06:52and you can see that it's really taking its toll,
06:55but he still tries to come back.
06:56He came over the fire ropes and nailed the Warlord,
07:00seemingly out of nowhere with a great right hand.
07:02And what an incredible show of courage that was by Axe.
07:08What grit and determination.
07:09And that brings a very, very fresh smash into the ring.
07:13And he's going against two here, powers of pain,
07:16and seemingly being able to cope with that.
07:19A lot of strength right here from smash.
07:21He closed lines long.
07:23And the other one, out onto the floor to the other side.
07:27And now Demolition looking particularly good
07:30now that they have a fresh man in the ring.
07:33Of course, giving Axe a chance.
07:34And there, what another great move there.
07:37He's going to pin him.
07:38He could be all over right now.
07:42And now, Axe is coming in, and out he goes.
07:46You wonder exactly the beating that he took,
07:48how much he can help his partner smash in the ring,
07:50who right now, Alfred, is at the mercy of both men.
07:53Fuji, from the outside.
07:55And once again, the fortune has changed here.
07:57And look at this great move.
07:59Barbarian poised to put the finishing crew to bra in there.
08:03A great elbow right up to top rope.
08:05Oh, what a save there by Axe.
08:08And that may be the only thing it saved him.
08:11Out goes the Warlord.
08:13Fuji up on the apron.
08:15Axe going right after Fuji.
08:17But Fuji hanging on.
08:19And now it's Axe with the cane.
08:20On the back of the Barbarian.
08:22Jabbing at the Warlord.
08:24And he really is letting the temper carry him away now.
08:29He is absolutely nailing from behind, Fuji.
08:34And evidently throwing some...
08:37What was that?
08:38Some swords?
08:38That's a ceremonial sword that Fuji always carries.
08:41And look at Fuji.
08:42He's still using that cane.
08:44And Axe is down.
08:45His eyes are closed.
08:46He can't open them.
08:47He's obviously in a lot of pain there.
08:49And just look at this.
08:51And now they're laughing.
08:53And he's smashing that cane over the back.
08:55And let us get the official verdict here.
08:59Ladies and gentlemen, here is the referee's decision.
09:02He awards the bout as a result of a disqualification.
09:11And I tell you what, it's always good to get a win.
09:14But I think here, if I can use a cliche, they may have really...
