It was then time to decide the
Invitational tournament winner for 2004. This match was technical
from the word go as Richter worked hard to protect his injured arm.
But as the match started to heat up both men started to strike with
greater frequency and Psychofett went after the arm of Richter.
Psychofett showed a side of himself that many had not seen as he
turned into a straight shooting wrestler. Richter fought the pain
and was not ready to give up. A one arm powerbomb and back suplex
saw him get back into the match.
As the match became more desperate, we
saw Psychofett make an effort to go after Richter’s injured arm
rather than his left arm. He hit a Springboard crossbody to the
outside which defied his size. But Richter then hip tossed the big
red dragon onto the entrance ramp.
When the match returned to the ring,
Azazal entered the match carrying a chair. The referee stripped him
of the chair but as he threw the chair out, Azazal smashed
Psychofett with a kendo stick. Richter then chokeslammed Azazal
before turning his attention back to Psychofett. Richter reversed
the burning hammer and then hit the Impaler to become the new
Invitational champion. This guarantees Richter a title shot in 2005.
But the question remains. What the hell was Azazal doing in this
match?
