JEDDAH — It doesn’t matter if Lars Sullivan is facing one, two or three Superstars at a time; his “primary function” — to hurt and maim — remains unchanged, as The Lucha House Party found out at WWE Super ShowDown.
Battling Kalisto, Gran Metalik & Lince Dorado in a 3-on-1 Handicap Match, Sullivan’s first sanctioned bout in WWE, the human wrecking ball carried out his menacing objective to a tee. One by one, he took down the trio of luchadores with fierce power and brutality.
The plucky Lucha House Party managed to score some big hits — the wound near Sullivan’s mouth was evidence of that — but their efforts only seemed to further enrage the monstrous Superstar. Late in the match, Sullivan ventured into The Lucha House Party’s domain on the top rope, but he was cut off before he could take flight, resulting in a painful tumble to the mat. Sensing their opportunity to score payback against the Superstar who’s haunted them for weeks, all three Lucha House Party members then ganged up on Sullivan. Although the 3-on-1 attack likely proved cathartic for the masked Cruiserweights, it also prompted the official to call for the bell and award the decision to Sullivan.
Kalisto, Metalik and Dorado quickly sought high ground, but it mattered not. Sullivan gave chase and demolished each Superstar on the entrance ramp, backdropping Metalik, thrashing Dorado and, in one final, brutal display, press-slamming Kalisto onto the steel.
The leviathan logophile might have stopped short of “vivisecting” the triumvirate, but Sullivan’s dominance was never in doubt. More importantly, the question remains: Can anybody stop Lars Sullivan’s path of destruction?
