Sabu set D-Von Dudley onto the table before going back into the ring. He grabbed a chair that Fonzie had slipped into the ring and set it up. He looked over at Rob Van Dam and watched him do a springboard somersault on the rest of the Dudleys that were on the outside of the ring. He ran across the ring, jumped on the chair and landed face first on the now empty table as D-Von had moved away. Pain flared through his neck as he lay there. D-Von moved away.

Inside of the ring Bill Alphonso entered the ring with another steel chair ready for his men he looked down at where Sabu was laying unmoving before turning to see how RVD was doing. He turned in time to see Shane Douglas in the ring yelling for Sabu.

Fonzie decided to leave the ring quickly and was barely out of the ring before Douglas hit him.

Sabu was rolled into the ring and got unsteadily to his feet and started punching Douglas. Someone grabbed him from behind and pulled him away. Soon he found himself over the shoulder of Bam Bam Bigelow and then was a victim of another Greetings from Asbury Park.

More pain flared through his neck and shoulder. His mouth was still smarting from when Van Dam hit him in the face with the chair. He was a mess but he was used to it by now. He had been wrestling with a bad neck for almost 4 years.

He lay in the ring trying to catch his breath while the Triple Threat showboated in the middle of the ring flashing their symbol to the fans. Bam Bam Bigelow and Chris Candido left the ring. Douglas picked him up and stretched him across his knee while pulling back on his neck.

Sabu never thought he'd be so happy to hear Taz's music in his life as Douglas dropped him to the mat and left him alone in the ring. He rolled over so he was on his hands and knees. Fonzie was trying to convince him to leave the ring but he wouldn't. As he started to get up, he saw D-Von standing next to him. He soon found himself hit with the Dudley Death Drop.

Both Dudleys pinned him which wasn't necessary. Sabu didn't have the strength to kick out. As soon as the Dudleys won they got off him.

Sabu lay on the mat staring at the lights.

Taz came up to him. "Sabu are you alright?" He didn't wait for an answer as he went and threw a chair at the Dudleys.

The next person who was in his line of vision was RVD. "You cost us the tag titles!"

Shut up Van Dam. Sabu wanted to say but he couldn't.

"Damn it Van Dam can't you see the guy's hurt?" Taz asked.

Sabu never thought he'd hear Taz defend him.

"Can you get up?" The ref asked coming up to them.

Rob Van Dam held out his hand which Sabu grabbed with not much strength. Van Dam had to pull him completely to his feet. Sabu sank to the mat.

"We need a stretcher!" Fonzie yelled.

Sabu weakly pushed RVD away as he went to help him again. He was going to do this again. He put his hands down and tried pushing himself to his feet but he couldn't.

Something was wrong.
