I've decided that since I'm bored, and this is my 1200th post, I'm going to do a Tournament of Flame history... If you've seen the Super Bowl reviews on ESPN Classic, then you'll have an idea of what I'm doing... But here it is...
The Flame, the right hand man of SBC in the Security Squad, and drunk with corporate power in mid 2003, decided that since he was in his mind the greatest International Champion in the world, he would prove it... So using his powers as a member of the Security Squad, The Flame held a tournament in which 7 EWA superstars volunteered and 1 superstar {Taz} was handpicked by The Flame just so he could pick on the little guy {not weak guy, but literally the little guy, lol}... The winner of this 8-man elimination/playoff tournament would face The Flame for the International Championship in a match of his choosing at the Pay-Per-View... The playoffs lasted a 3 weeks, with the little guy that The Flame wanted to pick on, Taz, winning the tournament... The Flame, obviously scared of the mighty midget, decided that the only way in which he would have a remote chance of winning would be to fight Taz in his specialty match: The Ladder Match... The Flame and Taz generated huge heat and genuine hatred for the match, and even though it wasn't the main event, the fans treated it like it was, and it was the most anticipated match on the Pay-Per-View card... And the match didn't dissapoint, with The Flame and Taz putting on a great show for the fans, but a greuling, vicious, long match was what The Flame and Taz called it... This match had everything a classic would have: Interferences, big bumps, and a classic ending... The match ended with Taz being inches close from victory, but The Flame knocks the ladder down and proceeds to hit a Flaming Frog Splash from the ladder... The Flame then climbed the ladder with joy, and the crowd watched in disbelief as The Flame, the cocky guy that everyone wanted to choke out, beat a legend in a legendary match to win the 1st Tournament of Flames... To quote The Flame, "I'll be damned if I don't win my OWN tournament, homes..."
Although The Flame won the match, Taz would win the war, beating The Flame later on, and contributing to the end of Security Squad... The irony in this is that The Flame and Taz would {reluctantly} team up and win the Tag Team Titles in September of 2004 and defended it 10 times over the course of 7 months before finally losing it... But even though they held the Tag Titles for the longest time in EWA History, they will be remembered for that epic encounter in the Tournament of Flames...[/b]
