What is it about a wrestling betrayal that makes it so compelling? It's the perfect blend of the ruthless intensity of a double team and the raw emotion of infidelity. This combination elevates an ordinary match to a whole new level. Betraying your wrestling partner is like a backhand to your most vulnerable area, adding a dramatic twist that leaves a lasting impact.
The Backstory
We start with Team Tim (T-World and Roberto) strutting into the ring. Tim has arranged for a fair match against Red while at the same time he intends to put on a show for his protégé. In his own words he proclaims, I want to show him a real champ against the pretender!
Tim is thinking to himself, Can you believe this guy?!
The Action
If you're looking for fast and furious wrestling action, well I hate to disappoint but look elsewhere as this is as one-sided as things can get. Now while it may take some imagination from the audience to make this whole scene work, I ask you, what great pro wrestling doesn't require that?
Red asks both men to flex and turn their backs to him and being the arrogant, cocky studs they are, they comply ... big mistake!
How do you take down two young studs at once? By using their vanity against them!
Tim & Roberto: [groan] [groan]
Tim: Don't give up ... Don't give up [Roberto]
Tim pleading with Roberto not to submit while his young protégé slowly succumbs...

Soon Tim is down on the mat and Roberto is looking around for someone else to look up to.
The Moment
We all knew this was coming, but witnessing Tim's betrayal in real-time is our moment. The look of agony mixed with the groans of defeat is what makes this match unforgettable. Roberto once looked up to Tim as his pack leader, but now finds himself in awe of another man.
Tim: What [cough] are [cough] you doing?
Tim seeing stars and regretting his partner choices.
Taking out all your aggression on your former mentor
Red: Who's the Champ?
Tim: ...
Tim: ...
Red: Come on, whos the Champ?
Tim: You ... are ...
Our last scene has a wobbly Tim drug to his feet before finally being put out of his misery.
Besides the raw emotion of the betrayal, there's just something about the infidelity, the transformation of Tim into some wrestling cuck that makes this moment so great. He entered the ring as a team but leaves without the championship belt and minus a partner.
