MABEL VS. ADAM BOMB


For May I'm going to try and hit some doubles. I will look at King of the Ring qualifying matches that were contested in May. We start with an absolute squash, with Mabel (the future Viscera and Big Daddy V) taking on Adam Bomb (Bryan Adams/Wrath) We see a fan showing a sign saying “Adam Bomb King of the Ring” and part of me wonders if that would have been a better alternative. They face off and Mo gets in Adam Bomb's face, giving Mabel a chance for a cheap shot. He clubs Bomb across the back and the referee backs him off so the match can officially start. Vince McMahon and Dok Hendrix (Michael PS Hayes) are on commentary for this match.

MABEL VS. ADAM BOMB
WWF In Your House 1 (14th May 1995)

Mabel continues the attack in the corner as the bell rings, then squashes Adam Bomb into the turnbuckles. Adam Bomb is sent across the ring but he avoids the charge, he gets in some punches and sends Mabel through the ropes with a flying shoulder tackle. Adam Bomb Slingshots himself over the top rope onto Mabel and sends him back in the ring. A slingshot clothesline drops Mabel again, Adam Bomb covers but only gets 1. He hits a flying clothesline and Mabel kicks out at 1 again. Mabel reverses an irish whip and sends Bomb into the corner, Adam Bomb walks into a rolling heel kick. Dok rightly gives Mabel credit for moving like that at his weight. Adam Bomb ducks under a clothesline but Mabel catches the running crossbody and slams Adam Bomb down to win the match.

WINNER: MABEL

It was a squash, as I said before the match. I could take up even more space on the disastrous King of the Ring tournament in 1995 but I would be flogging a dead horse. Adam Bomb got most of the match before Mabel slammed him down, I'm just not a fan of using Pay Per View time for squash matches.– no star ratings at all for the match.
