"Titan is dominating Warrior just like he's done everyone before him" the commentator said. "If neither Hogan nor Warrior can stand up to him, then who can?"
"Come on brother!" Hogan called out encouragingly, stretching out his hand fruitlessly. His partner was being dragged to the center of the ring by the Russian heel.
Warrior could do nothing as the world champ viciously pulled up his arms, strapping on an excruciating camel clutch.
From the corner, the Earthquake was bellowing with laughter as he watched his teammate bend the muscle-stud in half. "Come on Titan, make him howl!"
The ref bent down low, trying to get the attention of the tortured hero. "Do you want to continue?"
"I won't give up!" Warrior growled through the pain. He had been in this hold before, but it had never been this bad. Titan's strength made everything worse, made everything hurt that much more. He slumped deeper into the mat, as Titan pulled back even harder.
"Come on Warrior, do you give?" the referee asked again, concerned for his health.
"Hold on! Warrior, stay strong!" Hogan screamed, worried that his partner would submit to the painful hold.
The stud had never been in such bad shape, but he wasn't going to give up. He was the Ultimate Warrior and he would fight until the end!
Slowly, the muscular gladiator's hands started to shake, as he summoned everything he had inside and from the fans. And as he did, he slowly, painfully began to wiggle free from Titan's grip.
"No, no!" Titan roared, but it was too late. Warrior's arms had come free and he was crawling his way to the rope.
"Break the hold!" the ref screamed.
He may have freed himself from the camel clutch, but the damage had been done. The Warrior had taken a serious beating and everyone could see it.
"The Warrior desperately needs to tag Hogan," said the commentator as the baby-face struggled to the turnbuckle and tried to get himself to his feet.
But Titan gave his adversary no time to rest. Just as the Warrior finally stood, the villain slammed his shoulder in the man's already injured back.
"Arrrgggg!" The Warrior cried out, as he clutched his back in desperation.
Titan could feel the strength leaving the Warrior, but he was having too much fun beating him down to let it end yet. And also, there was still Hogan waiting in the corner. Titan relished the thought of wrapping his arms around that Herculean American hero again, and making him scream in agony.
"Come on Titan, I want some fun!" Earthquake called out from the corner.
"Fine, but remember, I want to finish them!" Titan sighed as he tossed Warrior to the corner and tagged in Earthquake. "Go Warrior, tag Hogan, it makes no difference. At the end of the night, you'll both be needing stretchers to leave this ring".
"Don't listen to him brother, we're still in this," Hogan said as he took his buddy's place in the ring. He looked across at his adversary. He had beaten the man on every occasion, but Earthquake wasn't his real concern...
"I've dreamed of getting my revenge on you Hogan!" Earthquake bellowed as he charged forwards. But the stud was too fast, ducking out of the way of the clothesline and responding with some vicious right hooks.
As the behemoth was stunned, The Hulkster took advantage, grabbing a fist-full of Earthquake's hair and sent him reeling into the turnbuckle.
"Come on big man!" Hulk taunted as he ran to the ropes to get momentum for a big clothesline. Unfortunately, Titan was waiting, bringing his knee up into Hogan's back, just as he bounced off the ropes.
"N...noo!" Hulkster moaned as he stumbled forwards, into Earthquake's waiting arms.
Easily, Hogan was scooped up, and paraded around the ring.
"Watch this Titan!" The hefty villain laughed, as he proceeded to powerslam the Hulkster straight into the mat.
"Hogan's body is spasming from the pain," the commentator screamed, wincing at the crushing noise the slam made. "That's enough to put most men away".
"But Hogan isn't like other people" The other commentator responded.
"No, but I'm worried the Earthquake is just softening him up."
"You feel that Hogan! All that weight on top of you? It's going to be so much worse when you feel the tremors, before I squash you once and for all! But before that, how about I steal a move from my partner over there."
Earthquake pulled the stud in the yellow briefs back to his feet before slapping on a hold Hogan desperately did not want to find himself in.
"He's got Hogan in a bearhug!" the 2nd commentator screamed.
"We saw Hulk give up to this hold last time; do you think we'll see it again?"
"I really hope not, but only time will tell."
Titan watched on from his corner, loving the sight of Hogan screaming out in pain. "Squeeze the life out of him!"
And that's just what Earthquake was doing. As he shook the Hulkster from side to side, Hogan could do nothing but moan, "Oh God....oh God...."
"Give up Hogan, tell the ref you've had enough!" Earthquake laughed, as he tightened his embrace.
"I won't give up....Ohhh God....no....I won't give..."
Hogan was determined to keep fighting, but the pain was just so bad. Earthquake was a beast of a man, and the strength of his bearhug was only second to one...
Hogan's reached out to the Warrior, but his partner was just too far. He then turned to the fans in hopes that their cheers would give him energy...energy he desperately needed if he was going to get out of the excruciating submission…
