Matt announced the next match participants, "Now entering the ring, Shane MacMahon of Hartford, Connecticut."
Shane jumped from behind the doors to Kate's cabin (which they were using as a staging area) Shane bobbed and wove his way to the ring, in his typical boxer fashion. Unfortunately the pirates found this behavior quite odd and began to boo almost immediately. Some even began to throw raw fish at him. Shane ducked as a wayward flounder narrowly missed his eye then he assumed a less flamboyant gait. Shane stepped onto the canvas and waited for Shawn's grand entrance to the makeshift arena.
"Hailing from the State of Texas, ladies and gents it's the Heart Break Kid, Shawn Michaels," Matt declared.
Kurt immediately began his own albeit disturbing rendition of 'Sexy Boy' as Shawn made his way to the ring. Soon again the fish were flying as the Olympic Champion received a deluge of them. Shane Helms made quick throat-cutting motions at Kurt, in effort to get him to stop.
"Citizen Kurt," Shane told him; "I do not think this crowd appreciates your vocal abilities." Nor do I, it's just outright….wrong. He added mentally in his thoughts.
The match didn't last very long and soon Shane found himself the victim of Sweet Chin Music a la Michaels. When Shannon counted, "Three!" A chorus of cheers went up from the ship.
"Well Shane," Kurt smiled at his companion; "You're up next."
"Citizen Kurt," Shane spoke sternly at the Olympic Champion; "Please refrain from singing any more theme music, I can not stay here to protect you."
Kurt gave him a wounded glare and then crossed his arms to sulk. The Hurricane deftly and proudly strode down the makeshift aisle to the ring as Matt announced, "Look out ladies' and gents' it's the Hurricane." Shane jumped up on the rope in his trademark super hero fashion that elicited some loud cheers from the pirates. Before Matt could announce him, Jeff swung into the ring on a rope from the crow's nest. "Facing Jeff Hardy." And then Matt grumbled to Kate, "Darn daredevil, he has to make an entrance doesn't he?"
Kate just looked at Matt and laughed slightly.
"You know," Matt couldn't help but comment; "You're beautiful when you do that."
"I'll be having none of that talk," Kate silenced his continuation of adoration deftly.
"Yes ma'am," Matt regarded her with a wink.
"Just watch the match," Kate glowered, her face crimson.
The match proved to be quite exciting with the two high flying Superstars doing all sorts of complicated aerial maneuvers. But in the end after a failed attempt at the Swanton Bomb, Jeff found himself in the throws of the midst of an Eye of the Hurricane. Shane promptly covered him and Shannon counted the 1,2,3. Emmaline had to work hard to mask her disappointment in the outcome.
