Bingo and monty VS Catchum and Leland By Trevor Lake and Robert Brown All Get Along Gang Characters are copyright 1984 'Those Characters from Cleveland'. Trevor: "Hello, folks, welcome to our first televised match-up on free TV in quite some time. There have been various reasons for our hiatus, but we return with an excellent two on two match-up in Bingo "Bet-it-all" Beaver and Montgomery Moose taking on the resident troublemakers of their Green Meadow township, Catchum Crocodile and Leland Lizard! Give us the specifics, Rob." Robert: "This will be a rather unusual fight, in that it's almost a mixed tag match. There are two main differences though. First, no tagging here. Second, the mix isn't intergender, it's interequipment! (is that even a word?) Anyway, what it means is that both Bingo and Catchum are restricted to mask and snorkel while their partners are using full gear. First fight I can remember under these rules." Trevor: "Largely, they decided to put these unusual rules for Bingo and Catchum as they're realy aqauticially inclined, and organizers felt this would be more interesting... oh, the gun sounds, and they all dive in! This is going to be a good one, I think. And no, I don't think 'interequipment' is a word." Robert: "Well then I just coined it. Anyway, Bingo and Catchum are going straight at each other while Monty and Leland are hanging back a bit, seeing what develops." Trevor: "Bingo and Catchum actually do have a tiny bit of history in the league against each other, when they both took part in the Aqua Olympics from a ways back. Catchum let Bingo slip away that time, but the only way out this time is death, as crocodile and beaver start jockeying for position." Robert: "Bingo's clearly at a disadvantage here, as Catchum soon shows by wrapping his tail around Bingo's neck! But here comes Monty to make the save, landing a vicious punch to Catchum's head to make him let go and then retreating before Leland can join the fray." Trevor: "Bingo's going have to make use of his speed if he wants to stand a chance against his more offensively gifted enemy... Leland finally grabs Monty from behind around the waist, and, smart move, he's trying to keep behnd him as Monty struggles to get free. But now, Catchum has recovered... and surfacing?!" Robert: "Wow, an early surface for Catchum here, but as he dives back down he may be using that extra breath to not let Bingo get one. It doesn't seem to be working however as Bingo surfaces a few yards away. He's even taunting Catchum. I'm not sure that's wise." Trevor: "He's really asking for it here... Catchum's already heavily driven. Anyway, below, we see that Monty got Leland crushed against a wall and finally getting free. Now, he's trying to get on top of the lizard... and he's on top without much resistance. Monty's just taken quite the advantage here." Robert: "Yes, but he doesn't see Catchum coming from behind! And with all that taunting, Bingo's going to be hard pressed to catch up to him. I just don't think he'll make it." Trevor: "And yes, Catchum got there first, but Bingo's there a second later and he drags the scaled one off Monty's air tank and now the snorkelers are wrestling on the ground. However, this momentary distraction gives Leland an opportunity here... and he's using his very talented tongue to reach behind Monty... he's turned off the moose's tank, and Monty's panicking!" Robert: "He's trying to grab at Leland's reg, but Leland's tongue keeps whipping him back. Monty's now trying to get to the surface, but Leland's clinging to him and Monty's cheeks are already bulging." Trevor: "But now Monty's paddling with all his strength, and without some kind of anchoring force, Leland can't hope to hold him down as he gets pulled with him... back with Bingo and Catchum, Bingo just caught his reptilian foe with a tail swing to the face, leaving Catchum rather addled and confused... Bingo's getting behind him now... and he grabs around the stomach, trying and force air out of Catchum!" Robert: "Two very sharp elbow shots stopped Bingo in his tracks, and Catchum's opening up wide, it looks like he's going to try and swallow Bingo's head!" Trevor: "But no, as Bingo amazingly retains the prescence of mind to nail Catchum in the gut with a double fist, and scale boy is surfacing again, with Bingo in hot pursuit. Monty just barely breaks the surface in time to breathe, but he's worn himself out so horribly getting up that Leland's easily dragging him under again! Not looking good for antler guy..." Robert: "Bingo's trying to move to intercept, but Catchum's hot on his tail. Bingo is the faster of the two, but can he out distance the croc enough?" Trevor: "Bingo slows down to get on Leland, but Catchum tackles him before he can make the grab, and Catchum's taking him back down to the bottom. Safe from Bingo, Leland's looking like he's gonna try to finish his opponent off.. quite an upset if he does." Robert: "Monty's really struggling here. WIth his air tanks off he's utterly helpless..... And there he goes, Monty falls limp and it's down to a 2-on-1" Trevor: "Catchum has the upper hand on Bingo, as he wins a physical exchange, and now snaps down on Bingo's hand with his jaws, to which Bingo is barely resisting screaming in pain... but now Catchum's tail's twitching... holy crap, a Death Roll?!" Robert: "But that's exactly what it is Trevor. Bingo's trying to fight out of it, but all that managed to do is dislocate his shoulder. He's being rolled so many times he forgot to hold his breath! That's all, match over! What's the time Trev?" Trevor: "Very nice... his parents must be so proud... 9:30.... almost 10 minutes time here. This may be considered an upset indeed, as Leland wasn't really expected to be any good, but he took advantage and got the job done against Monty. I'm not convinced he'll be too successful in the long run, but he's gotta get the MVP here." Robert: "He kept Monty out of it long enough for Catchum's power and ability to make things go their way. Once that was done, it was all over." Trevor: "Credit to Bingo for hanging with Catchum like he did though. This really was in the balance, just that Leland's unexpected victory tipped them in his enemy's favor." Robert: "And as Catchum and Leland celebrate their victory, we bid you all good night. For Trevor, this is Robert signing off."
