The Rulings

Brother Fistula; Deeply embittered by the recent loss of his father, an uncharacteristically serious Arch comes to the ring, promising to defeat Bud Cort and avenge the loss of his father in the next round. Cort, enraged that Arch is looking past him, sneaks up from underneath the ring and cracks him a good one in the head. Though not a big man, Cort compensates for his size, or lack thereof, by striking and backing off, not letting Hall get his hands on him. Cort thoroughly dominates Hall for the first portion of the match, before he makes a key mistake and misses a high risk senton bomb from the top rope. This allows Arch to gather himself and “The Golden Arch,” a signiture maneuver which is something like a frog splash. Arch, with some help from his valet Roxy, gets hold of his signature weapon, his guitar. He lets Cort gather himself, and takes a swing... A miss! Cort kicks him in the midsection, doubling him over, and DDTs him onto the guitar, shattering the instrument and rendering Arch out cold. No stranger to the top rope himself, Cort scales to the top to execute his somersault leg drop: “The Cort- ship of Deady’s Father”. While the referee is tending to Arch, Tor Johnson appears from the crowd and grabs Cort by the head and crushes it like an mushy grape. His lifeless body falls from the turnbuckle and lands next to Arch. Tor drapes Arch’s unconscious body over him, therefore securing the victory for Arch Hall Jr. But why? ...the hell? As Arch pulls himself to his feet, Tor grabs the microphone and makes his intentions known. You want Tor? You got Tor! He head-butts him down to the ground just before officials separate them and preserve the violence when the two meet next round in an extremely personal match! WINNER: Arch Hall Jr. Brother Ferox; Cort and Arch Hall both jump into the ring at the same time, and both are ready for a fight. Arch takes Cort down with a quick blow to the head with the guitar [of course he had it to begin with], and Cort’s face gets scrunched up. Cort falls over and loses track of where he is. Then the nonfun begins. The auditorium is silent. The skull is screaming. And the guitar: It’s just warming up. Archie Jr. tunes up and begins to strum: “Oh-oo-woah, Vickiiiiiii!” “Whaaat?” belts back whatever chick played Roxy in that god-awful movie. Every person in the crowd looks over to see what no one in this world should be subjected to... Marilyn Manning, Roxy, is now four hundred pounds more than she used to be! “You ruined my acting career!” she hollers at Arch. The gluttonous blob [be careful of the blob] uses gravity to get moving, and begins a horrendous forward motion. Arch, afraid of the creature outside of the ring, covers himself and begins to cry. Cort, now recovered, sees his chance and grabs the guitar out of Arch’s hand. BASH! Arch’s skull becomes perforated, and Cort takes the match. Hurrah! But instead of celebrating, Cort takes off in the other direction – Roxy is out for revenge, even if she can’t kill Arch. WINNER: Bud Cort Brother Ragnarok; The round begins as many do with blows from both sides. Arch swings his guitar a few times, breaking it (much to the delight of the crowd) and stunning Cort long enough to do some real damage. Arch stomps on Cort’s foot which causes his skull, still perforated from his lobotomy, to pop open like a garbage can. Arch pulls Cort’s brain out and boots it out of the ring. While Bud is shambling around like a zombie, Arch runs from the ring, motoring back in in his dune buggy, Roxy in tow. Her screams of “WHEEEEE!” as they race around the ring reverberate in the now-hollow skull of Bud Cort, the vibrations setting up a trans-dimensional phase shift inside Cort’s head. The mini-wormhole sucks Cort inside out before blasting him out of our dimension and into a freezing limbo. WINNER: Arch Hall Jr.

Winner by Majority Decision: Arch Hall Jr.!
