SCHOOL OF HARD KNOX - HEAVY HITTERS
DATE: AUGUST 19 2005
LOCATION: AMAZURA BALLROOM - JAMAICA, QUEENS, NY
Tonight, Hard Knox crowned their first Heavy Hitters in a 8 team tournament. Also in action we saw Chris Benoit defend his Head of the Class title against Juventud Guerrera.
Let's go to the ring for the first round action in the Heavy Hitters tournament.
Interview segment:
Confrontation between Terry Funk and Shane Douglas
We were all set to announce the two teams that would face off in the first match of the Heavy Hitters tournament when Shane Douglas came out to the ring and immediately called out Terry Funk.
Funk came down to the ring and got in the face of Douglas. Douglas taunted Funk by saying "You may have TRIED to finish me off last month but as you can see, i'm still standing. What do you think about THAT, Funker?".
Funk didn't blink before he threw the first punch and the two men began to brawl. Upon being pulled apart, Shane grabbed a mic and challenged Funk to a street fight later in the night.
I'm sure Funk is not going to turn that challenge down.
With the ring cleared, we were finally able to start the tournament. First match up put super team Rhyno & BJ Whitmer up against The Flock (Raven & Tommy Dreamer).

Styles did not take likely to this but restrained himself from falling into any trap that Daniels was laying for him. Daniels was escorted out of the building by security as AJ Styles walked up the aisle towards the backstage area.

Once Funk was laid out in the middle of the ring unconcious, Shane grabbed the microphone and announced that he is finished with wrestling for Hard Knox.
As of this moment - he has decided to be a leader among men but not just ANY men - THESE men (as he pointed to Palumbo, Brown & Ace). He then went on to say that he has decided to continue a legacy and dubbed them THE TRIPLE THREAT.
All 4 men flashed the Triple Threat sign and then hugged in the middle of the ring.
