Montgomery vs. Scum
By
The
Mangler
To say there was
no love lost between the two combatants for the next match would be the
understatement of the century. These two
had battled it out in almost every conceivable type of match and still had not
resolved their issues. Scum was
particularly known for rule-breaking and deviousness, but Montgomery had
learned and also had his fair share of deceit.
Scum had won most of the matches, not based on skill, but by cheating. Several matches had ended when the time
expired. Monty was close to winning in
all of these matches, but time “expired.”
Monty felt he was cheated in each instance – and he was. Time was called early, but Monty couldn’t
prove it.
Scum’s posse was
known as Skid Row Scum (see Champ’s Mistake) and contained him and two
of his fellow skinheads, Skid and Row. Montgomery
was initially a solitary wrestler (why did it take so long for faces to figure
out they needed backup?) but had recently been backed up by some other faces
trying to slow down Skid Row Scum. In
matches against Scum, Monty was more willing to use heel tactics.
