Brother verses Sister Combat XII by Buzz Haywood buzzhaywood@yahoo.com A New Beginning Continues To get better prepared for our highly anticipated match with Drake and Alexis, Lauren and I studied footage of such tag team experts and greats as The Rock 'n' Roll Express. We watched at least two hours. We saw how Ricky Morton and Robert Gibson opperated and felt ready. Lauren insisted we also watch footage of The Jumping Bomb Angels as well. We decided to face Tiger and Drizzy in a best of seven series. Match 1; Alturas, California 10-09-** Lauren and I worked like a well oiled machine. Lauren and Drizzy were like ping pong balls in there. She monkey flipped Drizzy and applied a chin lock. Drizzy found the stregnth to flip her over. Drizzy tagged to Tiger. Oh my, he had her by the hair. He press slammed her. Tiger went for a pin. One... Two... Kick out. That 'a girl. Lauren kept crawling over to me. Tiger grabbed her foot, but she kicked at him with the other one. She did a nip-up, then punched him. While he was stunned, she drop kicked him. Finally, she was able to tag me in. I clothes lined him. I was knocking Tiger around. While the ref was distracted Drizzy came in and hit me downstairs. Now Tiger was in control. After he roughed me up for a while, he tagged out to Drizzy. She basiclly beat me up around the ring. Drizzy put me in a figure four leg lock. I kept stretching my arm out. Lauren desperately tried to reach me. Closer, closer, finally! Tagged in. Lauren unloaded on Drizzy. Tiger came in. I limped my way up and speared him down. SMACK! Lauren had just hit Drizzy with a super kick. Next she lifted Drizzy up and executed a diamond cutter. One... Two... Three! We were 1-0 in this series. Match 2; Amador City, California 10-14-** Second match in the series. Lauren and I were on a role. We were doing fine in this match. Tiger and Drizzy were tough customers as usual. The match ended when I choke slammed Tiger and tagged Lauren and she went to the top rope and leg dropped him. 1-2-3! Match 3; American Canyon, California; 10-18-!! We went in 2-0 in the series. This match closed when Tiger passed Drizzy brass knux and she punched me in the face with it. She pinned me 1-2-3! So now I've been defeated by two girls. Lauren, my dear sister, (and I mean that sincerly) and now Drizzy. But at least Lauren always beat me fairly. Drizzy needed to cheat to win. Now we were 2-1 in the series. It was soon time for match 4. It was in Anderson, California; 10-22-!! Things were back on track. I put on a painful Boston crab on Tiger. He tapped the mat and it was over. The series was now 3-1. But then on match 5; in Angels Camp, California; 10-26-@@ Tiger and Drizzy were back on track. Drizzy used the knux on Lauren this time and got the 1-2-3! Now we were 3-2 in the series. Then in Antioch, California; 10-30-@@ In this match, Drizzy used a shooting star press and pinned me 1-2-3! Making the series tied at 3-3. The next match was all or nothing. For all the marbles. Arcata, California was the location, 11-03-## was the date. We were determined and they were just as determined. Tiger and I just completely tore into each other. Lauren and Drizzy tore into each other as well. It was a violent match with a lot of caotic moments. Drizzy knocked me out with the knux again. One... Two... Suddenly, Lauren broke the cover. The girls were trading punches. Tiger lifted me up and slammed me. Drizzy clotheslined Lauren. Then she went and got the knux back on. But, Lauren drop kicked Drizzy, took the knux, and put them on her hand. Tiger charged at her, but Lauren punched Tiger with the knux right in his jaw. Then Lauren punched Drizzy with the knux, she went down. Tiger was down now. Lauren pinned Tiger. 1-2-3! 4-3!! We won the series! We were on a role now. But the tests weren't done yet. Next, the husband-wife duo of Slag and Sweets were next. They dressed like your stereo type biker couple. Arroyo Grande, California; 11-08-@@ we faced the tough married couple. Slags was scary strong. Plus he had a Big Van Vader mentality. I could barely handle him. But when Lauren faced him, she dazzled him, leaving him confused. Lauren handled herself against that loony Sweets as well. Sweets could only be compared with having a Luna Vachon mentality. Even I had my problems wrestling Sweets. These two were vicious. Slags kept throwing me around the ring. He gave me a shoulder breaker. When I tagged out to Lauren, she out-smarted him. She even out wrestled him! Slags decided to tag out to Sweets. Lauren gave Sweets an airplane spin. Lauren executed a Russian leg sweep on Sweets, then hit a senton on her and pinned her 1-2-3! We won. Drake and Alexis even called us to congratulate us on the role we've been on. The tag match is getting more and more built up. It's highly anticipated. Even more so, in Arvin, California; on 11-14-##, Lauren and Randall had a friendly match scheduled. Lauren dominated the match. All one minute of it, and pinned Randal with a victory roll. They shook hands and hugged after the match. Now it was time for Drake and Alexis to get warmed up. After 316 matches, with me having 6 and Lauren having 310, we were now a good team.
