[2000-02-05-PHPW] Bubba the Love Train vs Whiplash (Tables)

Is Bubba the future Love Sponge? He’s a big fella anyway, 425lbs and accompanied by his manager Sexy Eddy Van Snap along with a nameless valet. Tables match for Bubba’s Power House Pro Wrestling Heavyweight title. Bubba tries to attack Whiplash from behind, but he senses him coming and ducks out the way of a swinging right hand. Whip to the corner is reversed, however Whiplash avoids the ‘avalanche splash’ and lands a dreadful looking dropkick. He clocks the big man with the title belt right in front of the referee, although pulls the shot so clearly that the crowd chant “you f*cked up” at them both. A clothesline, but that one seems to hurt Whiplash more than his opponent! A real ugly looking reversal of the Irish whip and Bubba starts to unload with some punches. Backdrop-come-throw over the top to the outside that Whiplash takes all wrong, landing on his side on the hard wooden floor. Sexy Eddy puts the boots to him and then rams him into the ring post, again in full view of the official. Back inside and Whiplash starts to fire back, even hitting a Triple H style facebuster, but this is hardly ‘the Game’ in there! He rolls Bubba out the ring, looks for a baseball slide dropkick (which would never have landed anyway as Bubba was too far away); however he sidesteps that and drops him with a lariat (and with Whiplash taking another uncomfortable looking bump on that wood floor). DDT on the outside, before Bubba launches Whiplash over the counter and into the restaurant/concession area. Plastic garbage can across the back! They ‘brawl’ a bit more in this area of the building until Bubba throws him back over the barricades to ringside. Here he sets up a table, and after laying Whiplash on it, puts him through it with a big splash for the win.

 

This was dire. A pair of clearly untrained backyarders putting on a ‘match’ in front of paying spectators. Neither has any proper ring gear, and they can’t even execute basics like a dropkick or a reversal of an Irish whip effectively. Whiplash takes a couple of careless bumps which must’ve hurt, while Bubba’s offense consists primarily of punches and kicks. The layout to this is all weird, as after the opening couple of spots (and why do a belt shot, that Bubba barely sold, so early in the match?) Bubba pretty much just ran through the guy. You also have a referee flagrantly ignoring weapon shots and managerial interference. This had a feeling as though it was Bubba’s own promotion, he’s the Heavyweight champion, and he’ll be dominant and always put himself over when he wrestles.

Ha, I started this one and it was so horrible that I actually just stopped it in its tracks. I can handle bad if it's at least telling of something, but this was two nothing wrestlers having a nothing match. Nothing wrestlers having a something match or something wrestlers having a nothing match I could handle.
