w/the Roadie & Jim Cornette
vs.
the Undertaker
w/Paul Bearer & Lady Tyr
The Match:
Razor Ramon... and Sting are back down around ringside, seperately walking around the ring, ready to watch some more of the tournament.Double J's Country Theme plays... and Jarrett comes down to the ring with his arms raised, laughing and looking to the crowd. He's dressed in his white outfit, with the red-blinking letters! When he hits the ring, the lights go down... and musical notes show up on the ring. He motions for everyone to get out of his way as he then struts down the center of the ring.
King: "I'm sorry, guys, but I won't be able to stay unbiased in this one! C'mon, Double J! Take the dead man to school!"
BONG! The fans rise up! BONG! The lights go completely out! BONG! The Undertaker's music swells up to a loud volume and a purple spotlight guides the Undertaker, Paul Bearer... and Lady Tyr to the ring! Tyr has out her broadsword, looking around for trouble.
The Undertaker walks up the ring steps... and brings the lights back up. Double J awaits the Undertaker in the ring. The Taker steps through the ropes and begins to remove his coat... when Jarrett... CHOP BLOCKS HIM!!!! The Undertaker goes down, clutching at his leg. Jarrett grabs the leg and spins it into a wicked spinning toe hold! The Undertaker reaches back to try to free himself... but cannot!
Jarrett keeps the pressure on for many minutes... letting go slightly... THEN spinning it on with even MORE pressure! The Undertaker doesn't utter a word...but his face contorts in pain. Jarrett doesn't look to the fans... doesn't laugh... or anything! He just keeps the toe hold on!!!
Phoenix and Rubican begin to come down to the ring... but Tyr moves to then and will NOT let him through. Rubican has the same gong than that of the security video before:
Phoenix: We meet again, rosebud.
Tyr: Save the crap, Phoenix! LET'S SETTLE THIS NOW!!!
Phoenix: Tsk, tsk, tsk...still sore about my true nature? You played with fire and you were consumed by it. There was nothing that could be done. Come now...you shall be treated even better than before.
Tyr: I'd rather die on my feet than live on my knees!~
Phoenix: You shall blossom, my rosebud...you shall understand it all in a moment.
Rubican gets ready to strike the gong when VVS comes down to ringside with two druids. VVS grabs Rubicans arms and knocks her down to prevent the ringing of the gong while the Druids try to keep Phoenix busy. Phoenix chokeslams one of the druids to the concrete and judo throws the other to the ground. Officials separate the druids and VVS and Phoenix with Rubican and escourt them both back to the locker room.
Back in the ring, the Undertaker reaches back... and somehow slips a punch into Jarrett's face that makes him release the pressure for just a second. The Undertaker gets up, favoring his leg. Jarrett tries to kick him in the knee... but the Undertaker opens up with rapid punches to Jarrett's mid-section... left... right... left... right... Jarrett is getting rocked!!!
The Undertaker then brings up a big boot that drives Jarrett to the corner, where the Taker moves in... and starts punching at Jarrett again rapidly. Jarrett stumbles out... into a ONE HANDED CHOKE SLAM!!!
King:"Come on, Double J, get up!! What's wrong with these Philadelphia morons? Don't they know a star when they see one?!? Get behind him and cheer!"
Pillman: Lousy, stinkin' town. Bunch of lowlifes!
The Roadie is seen picking up a chair and getting up close to the apron. The Undertaker meanwhile... DROP DDT on Jarrett! The Undertaker rises up... and stands over Jarrett. Double J dives at the Undertaker's leg... and the Taker immediately buckles under the pressure and falls to the mat! Jarrett spins him back into the toe hold... but hooks it with his legs, while punching the Undertaker rapidly in the back of the head....
The referee yells at Jarrett, then pulls him off, admonishing him. The referee's back turned... the Roadie slides into the ring and brings the chair to bear on the Undertaker... WHO GRABS THE CHAIR FROMT HE ROADIE AND PULLS HIM DOWN ON THE MAT!!!
The referee starts to turn back around, but Jarrett pokes him on the shoulder to avoid his seeing the Roadie in the ring. Sting climbs up onto the apron behind Double J...
The Undertaker THROWS the Roadie from the ring... then comes after Jarrett, who's being yelled at by referee Bundy. Sting makes a move toward Jarrett... but Double J, unknowingly ducks beneath Bundy's arm... under the Undertaker's clothesline.. and up behind him with a hammerlock!
Lady Tyr comes up behind Sting, who is still on the apron... and THWACKS him across the back with her sword! Sting drops down off the apron to the floor! The Undertaker drives Jarrett back into the corner... then climbs up to the TOP ROPE... and walks across the top rope, while holding Jarrett's arm!!! The Undertaker BARELY holds his balance on his weakened knee. The Undertaker leaps off... BIG CHOP across the arm!!!
The Undertaker runs a finger across his throat, signalling the end. The fans cheer. The Undertaker inverts Jarrett...TOMBSTONE!!!
The Undertaker covers... 1... 2... kickout! Jarrett kicks out!!! The Undertaker starts punching Jarrett in the face, and Bundy warns him. The Taker pulls Jarrett back up off the mat... ANOTHER TOMBSTONE!!! He covers....
1... 2... kickout! ANOTHER kickout! Jarrett actually gets a couple cheers from that one! The Undertaker looks around, frustrated. Fans are chanting Rest In Peace! Rest In Peace! Rest In Peace!
The Undertaker flips his hair back and rolls his eyes inwards. He pulls up Jarrett again, obviously frustrated. A THIRD TOMBSTONE!! The Undertaker covers... 1... 2... 3...!!!!!
King: "NOT FAIR!! NOT FAIR!! You saw it plain as day!! He was cheated!!!"
Pillman: I don't really care for Jarrett.. but it took THREE Tombstones to finish him off!
Winner, by pinfall: the Undertaker
The Undertaker rises up and looks around at the fans who are cheering! The music starts to play. And the Undertaker heads out... moving on in the tournament.
