ONITA RETURNS TO THE RING IN UNITED STATES VS. BULLY RAY - COMPLETE RECAP

By Mike Johnson on 2022-03-26 22:43:00

FMW legend Atsushi Onita returned to the United States tonight, wrestling WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray (Bubba Ray Dudley) in a Death Match in the main event of Battleground Championship Wrestling's event in Philadelphia, PA.

There were several instruments of destruction placed inside and around the ring before the match including a scythe, a barbed wire wrapped table, and a barbed wire bat.

Onita came out as The Great Nita, his takeoff of The Great Muta.  Bully Ray then came out to "Wild Thing", Onita's theme music, dressed like Onita and doing his entrance with a lit cigarette, leather jacket but with his face painted.

Fans tossed streamers and shot off confetti guns when the two faced off in the ring.

Onita spewed red mist on Bully's face and began stomping him before ripping at his face.  Onita suplexed Ray and began drilling him with strikes.  Ray was tossed to the floor.  Onita followed and sent him into the railing.  They battled on the floor with Onita sending Ray back into the barricades.  Onita began looking for something under the ring but Ray kicked him and sent Onita into the barricade.  Ray advanced but Onita smashed a plastic chair over Ray's head with the seat exploding off from the force.

They returned to the ring with Onita spewing more mist on Ray's face.  Onita grabbed a guitar that had FMW painted on it and went to use it but Bully blocked and smashed it over Onita's head.  The crowd chanted "ECW" for that.  Bully went for an elbowdrop but Onita tried to roll out of the way.  Bully screamed, "F*** you Onita," stopped him and nailed an Abdullah the Butcher style elbow for a two count.

Ray went to the floor for a steel chair but Onita brandished a chair.  They battled with the bat being knocked out of Onita's hands.  Ray smashed him with the chair and used the barbed wire bat on Onita's nether-regions.  Onita gained control of the bat and nailed Bully with it, then ripped the barbed wire bat across Bully's forehead.  Onita went to return to the ring but as he did, Bully slid a ladder into the ring.  Onita used the bat.  Billy fired away with chops and knocked Onita onto the ladder.  Ray smashed him with a sign wrapped in barbed wire.  He went for a splash on the ladder, but Onita rolled out of the way.

Onita did the Terry Funk ladder airplane spin on Ray.   Ray regained control and worked him over in the corner.  He led the crowd in a "Table" chant and teased sending Onita into the barbed wire wrapped table in the corner but Onita again spewed mist in his face.  Onita nailed a DDT for a two count.  Onita went for a slam but instead DDT'd Ray on the ladder.  Onita covered him for a two count with Ray getting the shoulder up.

Ray hit a thrust kick to stop an Onita advance and placed the barbed wire table in the ring.  Bully teased a powerbomb through the table but FMW Super Leather hit the ring and attacked Bully.  "Enter Sandman" began playing and Sandman came out and caned Onita and Leather.  Leather attacked Sandman and raked his eyes.  Ray speared Leather, then drilled Onita.  

The lights went out and when they returned, it was Sabu.  He teased shaking Onita's head but instead spiked Onita.  Ray misted Onita and powerbombed him through the table and pinned him.

Your winner, Bully Ray!

Ray took the ring mic after the match and went nose to nose with Onita, who was still down on the mat.  They pulled each other to their feet but Onita began attacking him.   He backed Bully off and screamed into the mic, "Sabu...Sabu...Sabu....why doublecross me??"  He wanted to know why Bully took his theme song.  He said he's sold out the Tokyo Dome.  Sabu returned to ringside and shook Ray's hand.  Someone yelled he was a traitor.

Ray told Onita he was a hardcore icon and a God in Death Matches, but that's Sabu.  Sabu built the ECW Arena.  The fans don't chant FMW.  They will always chant ECW.  The crowd began doing that.  Onita said that next time, ECW vs. FMW.  He said ECW was just a copy of FMW.  He said Sabu doublecrossed him and he won't forget.

Onita and Bully went nose to nose again before Onita stepped off the apron and went to the back as "Wild Thing" played for him.

Ray raised Sabu's hand and they played his ECW theme song.
