00:00Open mouth.
00:02Well, how could they possibly not think that there was gonna be some kind of
00:05retaliation after what they did on national television and Tito Santana?
00:09Absolutely, they were a little complacent standing in the ring there.
00:13And the strike force came in and caught them napping.
00:15And now they caught Heenan napping as well.
00:17The brain was napping, got his fingers squished.
00:20And now the other hand.
00:24Talk about lightning speed, you've got it here in a form of Tito Santana and
00:28Rick Martel, look out, whoa.
00:32Wow, what a way to come into the ring.
00:34Tama just flew that time without a ticket.
00:37He did, what a powerful move there by Martel.
00:41And this belt is underway immediately.
00:45Nice back over the, look at this maneuver.
00:48Reverse to hip lock, caught him with a drop kick right in the kisser.
00:52And Tama to the outside and down onto the concrete.
00:55And even if Tama wanted to go out then, he was certainly helped out by Martel's great
01:01drop kick that came from way across the other side of the ring.
01:04Certainly didn't have any choice.
01:07Tama suffering, obviously, from that tremendous drop kick.
01:10And by this vicious assault that started so quickly.
01:14Yes.
01:16Little help on the outside.
01:19Martel now content to wait for Tama to get back into the ring,
01:23giving him just a little breathing time.
01:25And I'm sure Tama needs it because he's asking for timeout almost immediately.
01:29Well, he definitely is looking for a timeout.
01:37Martel on fire, ready to go.
01:40And Santana hasn't even been in the ring yet.
01:46Won't see a clean break here.
01:47I don't think so.
01:49Big roundhouse missed.
01:50Martel was waiting for him.
01:53Boy, this crowd here, this capacity crowd in the Garland really up for this match.
01:58Here R&B and Tama bearing the full brunt of the strike force.
02:03Santana in there now and unloads on Haku from the outside.
02:11The Islanders are a very, very resilient team, though, and that young man in there now, Tama,
02:16he has taken a lot of punishment before and has proved himself being able to come back after
02:23absorbing a lot of punishment.
02:27Haku standing on the outside, trying to give some encouragement to his partner.
02:31But right now, strike force looking tremendously good.
02:35Well, the weasel, Bobby, the Brain, Hina maneuvering over in this direction.
02:38Brain, I think you best go back to the dressing room and regroup.
02:41Your game plan is shot.
02:44Wait a minute.
02:46You guys are getting smeared.
02:48Look at that.
02:50Get him off him.
02:51Oh, that was vintage Santana there.
02:53Santana.
02:54I don't know what's happening here.
02:55I can't talk to you now.
02:57Well, you're in deep trouble, Brain.
02:59I can see that.
02:59Not in any trouble.
03:00Just wait.
03:01Just wait.
03:02That's what happens to guys who back jump other guys and have to pay for it down the line somewhere.
03:09Headbutt.
03:11I wonder if this is part of Haku's plan, allowing the younger of the Islanders to go in there,
03:17take all this punishment.
03:18And now here comes Haku and he misses.
03:23Santana, this is really sharp, sharp Santana.
03:26Vintage Santana, as I said a little while ago, good tag made.
03:30Good teamwork by the Strikeforce.
03:33They've learned quickly, Gorilla.
03:34Well, they certainly have.
03:35Well, you got two outstanding athletes there.
03:38And Tito Santana has dropped about 10 or 12 pounds and made him just cat-like.
03:42Absolutely, isn't he?
03:44Look at that.
03:44Look at that move out of the corner.
03:48Strikeforce members are so rapid.
03:50I think that's Martell's bidding, don't you?
03:53Absolutely.
03:53Took that weight.
03:54You got to speak.
03:56Well, they're going to need him against Haku and Tama because there's certainly no slouchers.
04:02Well, it's just a question of time in my mind as we look at one of our international photographers
04:07at ringside here in the garden as they always are.
04:09Just a question of time until the gold currently around the waist of the heart foundation
04:15goes around their waist to Strikeforce.
04:17Yes, but it could be the Islanders, Gorilla.
04:19Don't forget they haven't overcome this obstacle.
04:22And this is a substantial obstacle too.
04:24What a beautiful leap from there.
04:27Close line and a beauty over for the cover.
04:29Could be all over too.
04:31Big guy powered out of there.
04:33And he does have power.
04:34He has power to spare in excelsis.
04:37He doesn't have a clue as to what his own strength is.
04:40No, he doesn't.
04:41Double slingshot in.
04:44It took two of them before Haku again, but
04:47they have been very, very damaging in this opening five minutes.
04:52This has been non-stop action even before the announcements were done with.
05:03He has been known to turn the tables so frequently, but at the moment it doesn't seem as if he
05:10can do it.
05:10Yeah, I was looking forward to Alfred when the Strikeforce came out to hear some more of that cut
05:16from the album, Girls and Cars with Robbie Dupree that was playing.
05:20Isn't that exciting?
05:20But they got so wrapped up and got into the match, I didn't hear any of it.
05:24It is really exciting.
05:25Oh, look at the leapfrog by the big guy.
05:27He blocked it.
05:28Oh, backslide coming up.
05:29Who's going to get it?
05:30It's a power struggle.
05:32Look at me.
05:32But now it's a little bit of balance.
05:34Well, Santana got the leverage by dropping down, but he's not driving with the legs he can't hold it.
05:39So close.
05:40You know something's happening here, Gorilla, I never expected to see from the Islanders.
05:44I believe their attention to slow the pace down.
05:48Well, it's possible that's been a maddening pace right from the onset as the brain is worried,
05:53and he should be worried.
05:57He is.
05:58Maybe that falling star that he's got on the back of that jacket is some sort of omen for
06:04him.
06:04Well, it could be.
06:05You could bet he got that jacket for nothing.
06:13Oh, Mr. Karate shot and right back with a nice arm drag.
06:18Santana has dropped all that weight, but he doesn't appear to have lost any strength.
06:22Absolutely not, but working hard.
06:25Look at this now.
06:27Tama out of nowhere, off the top turnbuckle.
06:30Tito never saw him coming.
06:32I don't think the referee did, and now he's pulling out Martel, who's trying to avenge his partner.
06:38No tag there.
06:40No tag at all.
06:43All right, we call him the way we see him here, Brain.
06:45We're not gonna keep quiet.
06:46There was no tag there, and the referee's allowing it.
06:48We're not gonna keep quiet.
06:50If you don't see it, you can't call him.
06:52No, look at this young Tama in the ring.
06:55You don't think that he's taking all that punishment he did a little while ago,
06:58and can come back so strongly, so quickly.
07:01Well, he's young, and that resiliency is still there.
07:04We've lost that a long time ago.
07:07Tito in for the ride.
07:08Oh, nice flying elbow.
07:10Well executed by Tama.
07:12Good height and good thrust, too, with that.
07:15He wastes a little time right now.
07:17Well, he's inclined to be a little choey, isn't he?
07:19A little egotistical.
07:21Tag made a big brother.
07:23Maybe it will be Hester Heaton.
07:25Tito in trouble.
07:28Double karate chops, reverse knife-edge form.
07:34Oh, look at Haku now, going to work on that trapezius.
07:37Haku's influence is definitely beginning to be felt now, because he has changed.
07:42Martell in to make the save.
07:43He has changed the flow of this belt.
07:45In the beginning, it was all-strike force, but now Haku is beginning to establish the Islanders as a team.
07:52In the wrong corner now.
07:53Look at Tama.
07:55Got the tag rope right around the neck of Santana.
07:59Martell coming over. He's being put out by the referee.
08:02Now the double-team goes into effect.
08:05And Haku and Tama working.
08:09Santana over in the corner.
08:12Santana, obviously suffering, and trying to make that tag, which he so desperately needs.
08:18Front face lock, as I stated many times in lordship, two referees are called for in this
08:24discalibur tag team matchup.
08:26Yes, but I don't know the world's present federation.
08:29The championship committee hasn't approved that particular move at the moment.
08:33No, they have not.
08:34Although, teams can ask for that, you know.
08:37There is a clause whereby they can ask for special conditions.
08:42Tito fighting his way back to his own corner.
08:44Oh, look at this.
08:46Tama comes in, distracting the referee.
08:49I don't think they're going to make that tag.
08:51Tag is made.
08:52Referee does not see it.
08:55Making Martell get out.
08:57There he is pulling Martell up.
08:59Tama, once again, up high.
09:01Oh, nailed him right again on that trapezius.
09:03This could be it.
09:04And no tag made there.
09:07Sloppy cover there by the youngster.
09:11He should have reached over and grabbed that leg, hooked it up, but he didn't.
09:16A lot of pressure being placed down in there.
09:19There is, and I tell you something, Gorilla, a lot depends on the outcome of this bout.
09:23Because these two teams are obviously logical contenders for that championship held by the heart foundation.
09:29And if one could knock the other off, then they're due for a title shot.
09:32Well, I believe we're looking at two and three, of course, the heart foundation, the hitman and the animal being
09:37number one.
09:38And these teams are two and three in my book.
09:42Tito with an elbow and another one finally enough to break the hole.
09:45Tag made to Haku as Santana, not able to get out, desperately needs to make a tag here.
09:52He does on that.
09:54Look at the big guy.
09:55Oh, God, it nearly took his head clean off.
09:58What a shot.
09:59A kick and a beauty.
10:00I thought that was it.
10:02Haku is absolutely devastating.
10:07A hush fell over the guard for that move.
10:09He quietened everybody in here.
10:11Big guy going airborne.
10:13Oh, big bad clip of nobody there.
10:15And a good job Santana wasn't there because that would definitely have finished him off.
10:20Santana now realizes this is it.
10:23He's got to make this tag.
10:25Trying to find his corner.
10:27He's looking into a neutral corner.
10:28He doesn't see anybody there.
10:29And now he spots his partner.
10:31Haku is hurt.
10:32That's the first time I've seen Haku this hurt.
10:34He knocked the wind down of himself.
10:37Folkman struggling to make a tag to the corner.
10:39They're crawling.
10:40Haku hurt Tag, but he seems to be making that tag before.
10:44He's going to make it.
10:45He did.
10:47Santana allows him to make it.
10:49Martell's in and on fire.
10:52Unloading with rights.
10:54Slingshot in.
10:55Big backdrop.
10:57Against that least experienced of the Islanders team, Tama.
11:01Look at this.
11:03Oh, look at the elevation on that.
11:06Martell is absolutely devastating now.
11:10Found Haku sleeping on the apron and nailed him.
11:15Reversal.
11:16High cross body.
11:18Could be all over.
11:19Big guy comes in to make the save, and they're all four in there now.
11:23But Martell wouldn't let him make that save.
11:24And that was a good, quick move by Martell.
11:26Because the Strikeforce still keep the upper hand.
11:29And look at that.
11:30Islanders crash together.
11:34Good teamwork by Strikeforce.
11:37To the lowest hour.
11:38Pulls him in.
11:39Oh, look at this beautiful reverse roll up.
11:41His shoulders are down there.
11:43They're free not counting.
11:44Oh, what a shot by Haku.
11:47Haku was practically out of it now.
11:49May have turned this belt in favor of the Islanders.
11:53I believe he has.
11:54Well, Tama was down there for a five or six count.
11:56Unfortunately, there was no one there to count.
11:59And once again, the pendulum has swung the other way.
12:02It really has.
12:02And that's a damaging psychological blow when you're so far on top,
12:06so far in front, to be supported like that at the very end moment.
12:12Look at Haku.
12:13What a vengeance.
12:14What determination on his part.
12:17He is a sadistic individual.
12:19And now Tama, as a referee not paying attention, looking in the other direction,
12:23does whatever he can to slow this guy down, Martell, who's been on fire.
12:28And Haku will make you pay dearly for your mistakes.
12:32Ricky rammed into that top turnbuckle.
12:36Oh, off to second one.
12:38And Tama outsmarted him then with a nice duck out.
12:41And now he's going up.
12:44Perhaps all the way to the top.
12:45Right on his back.
12:46No.
12:47Oh, flying headbutt and nobody home.
12:51Oh, both men down.
12:53Martell may be hurt more than Tama, but I don't think so.
12:58And it looks as if it's Martell coming to his feet first.
13:00Just about knocked himself out.
13:05Tama, Haku rather screaming at his partner to make the tag here.
13:09Once again, we see a very, very important tag.
13:12Now he sees the right direction.
13:13Look at Heenan.
13:14If Strikeforce can make this tag before the Islanders, I think they'll win this match.
13:20There was no tag made there.
13:23There was a tag made on the part of Strikeforce, but the referee did not see.
13:27Look at this.
13:28Haku behind the back of the referee with a headbutt right into the face.
13:33Look at that.
13:34Pushed his partner outside the ring.
13:36And the rock man covered it.
13:37I can't believe it.
13:39It's a three count.
13:40And that's an illegal three count because it was the rock man covered in Strikeforce.
13:45What a miscarriage of justice.
