This doesn't sit well with the other two and Scott D'amore says if they can't agree with his decision the three of them will have a match at No Glory to determine who the Captain will be. What happens in Canada is between the Canadians, so Scott D'amore will be the special referee for the match.

Shawn Michaels def Edge via pinfall after hitting the Sweet Chin music.
 
February 13th

Shawn Michaels starts off the show saying he needs a new opponent for No Glory, since he has already beaten the number one contender Edge last week. Eric Bischoff comes out and says Shawn is right, so tonight he will face Tyson Tomko, and if Tomko wins he will get the title shot at the PPV. Eric Young comes out and reminds Eric Bischoff that he is supposed to be facing Tomko at the PPV, Bischoff tells Young that he better hope Tomko doesn't win his match tonight then.

Michaels goes for the Super Kick on Edge, but Edge catches it and Shawn Michaels boot falls off. A metal heel insert falls out of the boot and Edge hits Michaels with the Spear. Edge picks up the piece ad examines it, and tells the audience that it looks like he's figured out why Michaels has been knocking everyone out cold with his Super Kick lately, and that he's been cheating. Because of this, he is still the number one contender and will be taking on Shawn Michaels at the PPV.

Precious Roy Productions (PRP) presents LIVE from Olympic Stadium Montreal Quebec Canada and streaming live around the world on PPV:

International Wrestling: ROYAUME DU COMBAT DE LUTTE ETERNEL

Attendance: 74,898
Hosted by Dean Hill & Bobby "The Brain" Heenan (Edouard Carpentier joins commentary when Brain is at ringside)
Ring Announcer: Jimmy Lennon, Sr.
Backstage Interviewer: Maryse Ouellet
Head Referee: Tim White

High Flying Tag Team Action: Jinsei Shinzaki & Kota Ibushi vs. Kid Kash & Chris Candido w/ Sunny

A fast paced tag opener to get the crowd into things and put them in a good mood. Candido's stooging and Sunny's antics entertain. Constant miscommunication eventually get the better of Candido & Kash and Jinsei Shinzaki hits a bridging powerbomb for the win. Kash steals a kiss from Sunny post-match before getting dropped by Candido.

8 Man Tag Team Attraction: Riki Choshu, El Canek, Don Leo Jonathan & Fray Tormenta vs. Dick Murdoch, Dick Slater, The Destroyer & Monty Brown

The face team is made up of a Japanese legend, Mexican legend, Canadian legend and the ultimate babyface, the wrestling priest! The heels are a couple of mean and dirty Southerners, a masked villain, and a bad, bad man who claims to be from the Serengeti. This will be a showcase match that lets everybody get a chance to shine on offense and do a bit of comedy early, before getting into a serious match. The heels win when a pier 6 brawl breaks out and Murdoch uses an international object followed by a brainbuster to get the pin on Fray Tormenta to major heat. Many hockey pucks are thrown at the winning team, and the crowd pops huge when Monty Brown turns on his teammates after the match.

A Battle for National Pride: Edouard Carpentier vs. Mark "Rollerball" Rocco

The French Canadian hero v. the dastardly British rogue. A fast paced competition of mat wrestling, acrobatics and spirited brawling. Carpentier takes the win in the center of the ring with a bridging pin combination to the delight of the partisan crowd

30 Minute Ironman Match: Bob Backlund vs. Billy Robinson w/ Bobby "The Brain" Heenan

Two of the premier technical wrestlers of their era testing their skill against the best of the best. Backlund scores the first fall 13 minutes in with a half nelson bridging cradle. Robinson evens it up 5 minutes later with a bridging double underhook suplex. A distraction by Heenan allows Robinson to quickly take a 2-1 lead with a belly to back backbreaker. Backlund evens things up at the 25 minute mark with an Atomic Knee Drop. Backlund locks in a crossface chickenwing at 29:14 and Robinson is forced to tap at 29:47

Olympic Tower Death Match: Vampiro vs. "Raging Bull" Manny Fernandez

Olympic_Park_Montreal.jpg


The Olympic Tower, attached to Olympic Stadum, is the tallest inclined tower in the world. It has a large exterior windowed elevator which travels 575 feet up to an observation deck overlooking greater Montreal. The rules of the match are both men start on the ground outside of the entrance. They fight to make it up to the observation deck and retrieve a briefcase inside of a locked safe containing the greatest treasure of your wildest imagination. Every inch of the thing has been covered with cameras, including a helicopter hovering around the outside, and a live cameraman waiting at the top. This is the pole match on acid. They fight onto the elevator together and have a vicious brawl inside of it for several minutes while it slowly climbs to it's apex. Both men are busted open as they brawl into the observation deck, using whatever they can find to punish each other. Fernandez lifts the steel safe in an incredible show of strength and narrowly misses Vampiro's head. The match ends when Fernandez sends the elevator back down unmanned and attempts to hang Vampiro with a bullrope from 575 feet. Vampiro counters and hangs Fernandez, and as the camera man scrambles to save his life Vampiro retrieves the case which contains [REDACTED]

This match is followed by an intermission, as people's minds are rightfully blown by what they have just seen and they need to eat cajun food, drink beer, buy merchandise, and smoke marijuana (which has been made legal at all PPR events per a Mayoral decree)

Lucha Libre Rules, 2/3 falls: El Trío Atómico El Santo, Gory Guerrero & El Hijo Del Santo (w/ "Super Porky" El Brazo de Plata) vs. The Hart Dynasty Bruce Hart, Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart & Teddy Hart (w/ Bobby "The Brain" Heenan)

The Western Canadian Harts play the heels in Montreal, and have Bobby Heenan in their corner just to ensure everybody hates them. They also brazenly challenge the Mexican Legends to a lucha rules trios match, which means 2/3 falls, no tags, you enter whenever a teammate exits the rings, and the rules against double and triple teams are very lax. Lucha also allows for comedy in the course of serious events, hence the presence of Porky and Heenan who can be equal parts comedic and serious. They will have continual antics at ringside and entertain between falls. I expect this match to possibly steal the show and have promised Anvil and Teddy bonuses if they have their working shoes on. Harts win the first fall following a Hart Attack and a 900 degree moonsault by Teddy Hart to El Hijo Del Santo. Gory Guerrero scores a submission with a Gory Special on Teddy Hart to even the score at 1-1. El Hijo Del Santo pins Jim Neidhart following stereo diving headbutts with his father, after Super Porky takes out Bobby Heenan with a Porky Plancha.

5 Rd. MMA Exhibition: "The Greatest" Muhammad Ali vs. "The Brown Bomber" Joe Louis

Billed as an MMA fight, and Joe Louis has had some grappling training, but everybody expects this to be mostly 5 rounds of standup fighting. Ali surprises Lewis with an early takedown, a dropkick, a drop toehold and some leg kicks (he learned from that fight with Inoki). Lewis scores with an armdrag, a fireman's carry, a hiptoss, and catches Ali in an abdominal stretch twice. But the fight is mostly trading punches, where both men are evenly matched. The unpaid judges rule it a draw and both men shake hands, but Ali vows to whoop him if there's ever a rematch

Hell In a Cell: Jerry "The King" Lawler vs. King Curtis Iaukea

Two of the best talkers in the business get to run their yaps for months building up this match. Iaukea and Lawler seem to have different definitions of what a King is. Lawler is ostensibly the face here, but both men have their supporters, and the crowd is probably 60/40 Lawler. Both men bleed buckets in a very intense brawl. Lawler finally scores the pin in about 19 minutes after piledriving Iaukea on a chair retrieved from under the ring.

The World is Filled With Pimps and Hoes: Rick Martel (w/ Maryse Ouellet) vs. "The Handsome Halfbreed" Gino Hernandez (w/ Stephanie McMahon)

Two cocky young dudes butting heads. The Quebec native is over huge as a babyface, as is #1 French Canadian qt Maryse. Gino Hernandez hates Canada and is cocky as shit, and Stephanie McMahon hates Canada and is a huge bitch. Heat is off the charts for this matchup. Early catfight at ringside has to be broken up by the wrestlers. Both valets interfere on behalf of their man, Maryse doing so to huge cheers from the crowd. Rick Martel wins in about 21 minutes with a slingshot splash and Quebec Crab. Stephanie McMahon gets Crabbed by Maryse for good measure.

The Irresistible Force Meets the Immovable Object: Bill Goldberg vs. Andre The Giant

Clash of the titans. Andre is the favorite, but both men have immense crowd support, and people just want to see the spectacle. Andre controls the match early, shaking off a multitude of strikes from Goldberg. Goldberg finally knocks the Giant down with a spear about 5 and a half minutes in, but a jackhammer attempt backfires. Goldberg kicks out of a huge double underhook suplex and a splash. A duck under a clothesline and savate kick stun Andre, and a diving shoulderblock off the top gets a 2 count. Goldberg misses a spear attempt and hits the post. Andre attacks the shoulder with clubbing blows and headbutts, but in a burst of strength Goldberg counters with headbutts of his own and an overhead throw, which further weakens the shoulder. He tries for another jackhammer, but the shoulder gives out, and Andre recovers enough to hit him with a spear of his own, followed by a tombstone piledriver for the 1-2-3
 
Here's my card. I'll write the show later:

CALIFORNIA REPUBLIC WRESTLING PRESENTS
The Big One

February 19th at the Cow Palace, Daly City, CA

STREAK VS. STREAK
THE UNDERTAKER vs. SAMOA JOE


Paul Heyman’s blockbuster signing Samoa Joe made a huge impression upon his CRW debut, winning a 20-man battle royale at last year’s Big One. From there, “The Samoan Submission Machine” destroyed his (much smaller) competition, racking up an impressive undefeated streak in the process.

Joe seemed unstoppable until his triple threat match against Austin Aries and Jushin Thunder Liger for the CRW Championship at Lariats of Fire. Joe had just laid out Liger with a Musclebuster when the lights went out. When they returned, the Undertaker stood in the ring. Joe went on the offensive, but ‘Taker hoisted him into the air and sent him crashing down with a chokeslam! Aries stole the victory with a pin on Liger (and soon received a chokeslam of his own), meaning that Joe technically received his first loss. However, Joe still has yet to suffer a pinfall or submission. Joe puts that streak on the line against a man who has never lost at The Big One in his entire storied career. Samoa Joe may be able to defeat the other mortals in CRW, but he’s never had to face a Dead Man.

CRW CHAMPIONSHIP LADDER MATCH
AUSTIN ARIES © vs. JUSHIN THUNDER LIGER


Ask many a CRW fan and they’ll tell you that Austin Aries’ CRW Championship reign ought to have an asterisk next to it. Still others will argue that traditionalists just don’t get the brilliance of A-Double. Ever since he won the title at Put a Bird on It! after spitting Pabst Blue Ribbon in Mistico’s face (in front of a surprisingly approving Portland crowd), Aries has used every trick in the book to keep the belt. Whether it’s by cowardly taking a one-hour draw against Jushin Liger at Dante’s in Fresno or goading Samoa Joe into calling out the Undertaker leading up to the triple threat at Lariats of Fire, A-Double has done it all. However, CRW Commissioner Bob Saget has made what is promised to be Aries and Liger’s final battle a ladder match. This way, there will be one winner, and if Aries pulls out some of his tricks, maybe the anything-goes style of the match will give Liger the opportunity to pull out some tricks of his own...

CRW TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP DUMPSTER MATCH
THE NEW AGE OUTLAWS (“Bad Ass” Billy Gunn & “Road Dogg” Jesse James) © vs. BORN THIS WAY (Pat Patterson & Goldust)


At Wake Up, San Francisco, the ever cocky CRW Tag Team Champions worked the crowd into a frenzy as “Road Dogg” Jesse James claimed that they would never lose the belts because they were “surrounded by faggots” and thus had no competition. This prompted the long-hated Pat Patterson to run to the ring to thunderous cheers. He beat them down with loaded punches, but eventually the numbers game caught up to him. All hope seemed lost for Patterson and any statement he may have been making about the Road Dogg’s language when who should come to Patterson’s aid but his long-time nemesis Goldust! Together, they cleared the ring and Goldust applauded Patterson for standing up for who he was, because like Patterson, Goldust “was born this way.”

Thus, the odd pairing of the openly-gay badass and the flamboyantly suggestive heterosexual was born. They fought their way through the tag team ranks to earn the right to giving the New Age Outlaws the beatings they deserve. They thought they had just that at Just Win, Baby!, but when the Outlaws realized Born This Way had them beat, they grabbed some chairs and got the match thrown out by DQ before hightailing it, leaving Goldust and Patterson flat on their faces. But that only, as Goldust put it, “made them more flaming...with rage.” They even went so far as to let the NAO choose the stipulation for the rematch. However, the challengers seem surprisingly fine with the idea of a Dumpster Match. Born This Way vow to take out the trash, but they might be walking into a cable-broadcast hate crime.

LUCHA DE APUESTA: MASCARA CONTRA MASCARA
MISTICO vs. BLUE DEMON


One of CRW’s most storied rivalries, we have seen the righteous Mistico battle countless times against the diabolical Blue Demon. After fighting for pride and for championships, finally they will fight for the other’s very identity. Two of the greatest luchadores in history will enter the ring. One will leave unmasked. What more can I say?

WOMEN’S BARBED WIRE DEATH MATCH
SARA DEL REY vs. MEGUMI KUDO


Sara Del Rey had long been the face of CRW’s women’s division. She’d even had a good showing against some of the men. However, ever since she signed with Paul Heyman, she’d grown arrogant, even going so far as to call herself “The Queen of Wrestling.”

Then along came Megumi Kudo. Ever since We Swaggin, when Del Rey fell victim to a Kudome Valentine and a subsequent loss, Del Rey has sworn vengeance. She even pleaded with Commissioner Saget to file any possible paperwork that would keep them from having a Barbed Wire Death Match, with Heyman threatening to seek out work for her in other promotions if he didn’t comply. Such was Del Rey’s determination to not only beat Kudome, but to do so in Kudome’s signature match. Even after it meant the loss of a sponsor, Saget complied and Sara Del Rey just might finally get her wish. But not if Kudome has anything to say about it.

FOUR CORNERS TAG TEAM ELIMINATION MATCH
PERRO AGUAYO Y PERRO AGUAYO, JR. vs. THE WEST HOLLYWOOD BLONDES (Lenny Lane & Lodi) vs. THE YOUNG BUCKS (Matt and Nick Jackson) vs. THE NEW NEW ROCKERS (Al Snow & Jimmy Jacobs)


Four tag teams, all with something to prove. Ever since the father-and-son team of Perro Aguayo and Perro Aguayo, Jr. lost CRW Tag Team Championships back to the New Age Outlaws at Release the Hounds, they’ve been trying to work their way back to the top. Among those standing in their way are the West Hollywood Blondes, who might draw a lot of attention with their unique style, but are still looking for the victory that will let them break through. Also looking to make it big are the plucky Young Bucks, whose stunning More Bang for Your Buck finisher and twinkish good looks have picked them up a substantial following. But don’t count out the New New Rockers. If anything, Al Snow’s desperate attempt to repeat his former success with Marty Jannetty with a younger and hungrier Jimmy Jacobs has shown the determination in both men. No matter who wins, this match should feature lots of fast-paced, high-flying excitement!

FATAL FOURWAY COMEDY!
EBESSAN vs. SANTINO MARELLA vs. ERNEST “THE CAT” MILLER vs. DELIRIOUS


Japanese comedy legend + wacky fake Italian + dancing black man + whatever the hell Delirious is supposed to be = Fun timez for all!

THE RETURN OF MARTY JANNETTY
MARTY JANNETTY vs. SHINSUKE NAKAMURA


Ever since the break-up of the New Rockers and coming out victorious against Al Snow in the subsequent blow-off match at last year’s Big One, Marty Jannetty seemed ready to race his way up the card. He started things off with an upset victory over Austin Aries at Purimresu and kickstarted into an impressive run, picking up big victories and looking impressive in defeat. However, it came to a halt after facing off against Paul Heyman’s latest client, the Japanese import Shinsuke Nakamura. At November Reign, Nakamura hit his signature Boma Ye knee as Jannetty stood on the apron. The blow knocked Jannetty to the floor below, giving him a concussion. Three months later, Jannetty is finally cleared to compete and he’s taking on the man that took him off the shelf. But since then, Nakamura has only solidified his dominance. Will Jannetty regain his momentum, or will Nakamura once again stop him cold?

GRUDGE MATCH
MELINA vs. ODB


Melina had always relied on ODB to do her dirty work. And ODB, being One Dirty Bitch, was happy doing it. Ever since “A-list movie star” Freddy Prinze, Jr. had started making appearances with Melina at events to promote CRW, Melina had started mistreating the lower class ODB. Finally, at Remedial Chaos Theory, ODB snapped. After miscommunication between the two cost Melina a match against Megumi Kudo, ODB decided she’d had enough of Melina’s screeching and shut her up with a flask to the side of the head. A newly-independent O.D.B. has found herself rejuvenated with her new purpose: to shut Melina up once and for all.

Backstage Interviewer: Sean Mooney

MATCH #1: Savio Vega vs. The Great Kabuki (w/ Gary Hart)
Short, fast paced opener. Hart distracts the referee allowing Kabuki time to spit mist into the eyes of Savio and hit him with the Thrust Kick for the win after 7-8 minutes.
WINNER: The Great Kabuki

MATCH #2 (Street Fight): The Moondogs vs. Mr. Fuji & Professor Toru Tanaka (w/ Gary Hart)
Two teams that have a more brawling or hardcore-type style, so I'm going to match them up in a Street Fight. Much like the previous match the heels go for their weapons of choice, in this case salt, only it backfires and Fuji hits Tanaka and the Moondogs get the pin after about 12 minutes.
WINNERS: The Moondogs

MATCH #3: Adam Bomb vs. Hunico
Hunico bumps around like a pinball and loses clean to the Meltdown in about a minute.
WINNER: Adam Bomb

MATCH #4: "Rugged" Ronnie Garvin vs. "Canada's Strongest Man" Dino Bravo
A rematch from Wrestlemania V. They get a bit more time here at about 10 minutes, and Garvin wins clean as well this time with the Sharpshooter.
WINNER: "Rugged" Ronnie Garvin

MATCH #5: The Fantastics vs. The Midnight Express
Time to just flat out have a great match with two of the most talented teams of the 80s. The Fantastics hit the Rocket Launcher at around the 18 minute mark on Rose, but Danny Davis refuses to count the pinfall choosing instead to escort the illegal Fulton out of the ring. Condrey nails Rogers in the back of the head and Rose gets the three.
WINNERS: The Midnight Express

MATCH #6 (RWF Canadian Championship): Greg Gagne vs. Mad Dog Vachon (c)
The Canadian Championship is the mid-card title ala the Intercontinental Championship. A wrestler does not have to be Canadian to hold it. This came about after weeks of Vachon giving Gagne grief over him beating his father in the AWA back in the 60s, and Gagne is fighting for his father's honour. Gagne wins in what is treated as a substantial upset with a clean pinfall on a small package after about 15 minutes.
WINNER: Greg Gagne to win the Canadian Championship

SPECIAL ATTRACTION - Piper's Pit with Special Guest RWF World Heavyweight Champion Harley Race
A chance for the two stars in the main event to get into it earlier on the show, plus I'm not taking Roddy Piper and not doing Piper's Pit. They insult each other and the two come to blows before a team of random officials and President Jack Tunney come down to break it up.

-INTERMISSION-

MATCH #7: Pat O'Connor vs. The Spoiler (w/ Gary Hart)

Standard post-intermission match that allows the midcard some work and gives time for the fans to get back to their seats before we head into the big matches. O'Connor wins clean with the Piledriver in about 10 minutes.
WINNER: Pat O'Connor

MATCH #8 (Battle of the Gridiron): "The Minister of Defense" Reggie White vs. Lawrence Taylor
As a diehard football fan, I wanted to do this matchup of arguably the two greatest defensive players of all time. Taylor is the heel seeing as how he's a drug addict and rapist and White is an ordained minister. I expect a lot of free hype from ESPN and NFL Network for this one. LT goes for his flying fist off the second rope that he used against Bigelow, but White catches him with a clothesline for the win after about 15 minutes.
WINNER: Reggie White

MATCH #9: Dory Funk Jr vs. "The Nature Boy" Buddy Rogers
A nice long technical exhibition to contrast with the more brawl-like double main event. Funk reverses the Figure Four, but Rogers hits a low blow on Funk and pins him with his feet on the ropes in clear view of referee Danny Davis for the second controversial finish of the night involving Davis after about 25 minutes.
WINNER: Buddy Rogers

MATCH #10 (Steel Cage Match for the RWF World Tag Team Championship): The Road Warriors (w/ Paul Ellering) (c) vs. Demolition
No escape rules. Pinfall or submission only. Face vs. Face with both teams in their primes. A brutal, bloody brawl that ends with a clean victory for the Road Warriors after they hit the Doomsday Device on Smash with Hawk jumping from the top of the cage after about 22 minutes.
WINNERS: The Road Warriors to Retain the RWF World Tag Team Championship

MATCH #11 (Steel Cage Match for the RWF World Heavyweight Championship): "Rowdy" Roddy Piper vs. Harley Race (c)
Again no escape rules. Pinfall or submission. Piper was awesome as the cool heel, but I want to build my promotion around him which means he's going to be a face which he was also crazy over as. Race is the vile veteran heel circa early 80s. Much like the previous match this is going to be a bloody, violent affair won by Piper with the Sleeper to win the World Title in about 35 minutes as the crowd goes insane.
WINNER: Roddy Piper to Win the RWF World Heavyweight Championship

The Main Event
C.C.W World Heavyweight Championship Match

Brock Lesnar
Vs
Big Van Vader © w/ “The Manager of Champions” Vicki Guerrero

18 months ago, Brock Lesnar was brought into CCW by the Manager of Champions, Vicki Guerrero with a sole purpose, to dominate the company and capture the World Heavyweight Championship that had long eluded Ms. Guerrero. Within a few short months, Lesnar reached the top of the mountain after a vicious and torrid rampage through the CCW. Vicki Guerrero was the Queen of the CCW and nothing was stopping her except the man she brought into the company. Lesnar growing tired of Vicki’s reign, sought to desert The Guerrero Camp but Guerrero, refusing to relinquish her grasp on the World Championship denied Lesnar his escape It took a tough road but Lesnar had finally broke from the oppressive control of Guerrero but his freedom was short lived. Vicki promised revenge would come to Lesnar and it came in the form of a 6’5, 450 LB Mastodon known as Big Van Vader. Vader charged and with a vicious assault, Lesnar was rendered physically unable to compete and forced to vacant his world championship. It was feared Lesnar may never compete again. Vader alongside Vicki Guerrero and the rest of the Guerrero Camp reigned over the CCW and it appeared as if nothing was going to stop the dominance. It came as a surprise when Brock Lesnar made his startling return two months ago and sent a message directly to Vader, that championship belonged to him and he wants it back.

THE MONSTERS COLLIDE! Saturday, March 10th! The long awaited challenge between the two most physical and dominate stars in the entire professional wrestling industry is upon us. Will Vader’s domination continue to devastate the CCW or will it be put to rest by the former “Next Big Thing”, Brock Lesnar? What does Manager of Champions, Vicki Guerrero have up her sleeves to ensure the World Heavyweight Championship remains with The Guerrero Camp?

American Championship Match
El Generico
Vs
Big Poppa Pump Scott Steiner © w/ The Freaks, Layla El and Michelle McCool
After years of continued successes in the world of Tag Team Wrestling, Scott Steiner finally broke free of the weight that was his partner and brother, Rick Steiner and sought an even greater level of success as a solo talent. Finding himself with a drastic personality change, the new “Big Poppa Pump” quickly established himself one of the premier singles wrestlers in the business especially with the assistance of his lovely “freaks”, Michelle and Layla. It appears nothing can stop Steiner from whatever Steiner wants.

El Generico, the crazy generic luchador, long time as a fan favorite of CCW has continued to fight, scratch and claw his way through the ranks. Constantly betrayed by former partners and friends, El Generico operates only on his own and with the support of the CCW faithful, he intends to reach the top. Scott Steiner looks down at the likes of Generico and wishes nothing more then to keep him down and away from his American Championship belt and especially from his freaks. El Generico has made no secret of his emotional interest in a certain freak, namely, Michelle and the persistent efforts to woo her have continued to motivate Generico and infuriate Steiner. After coming close to reaching his goal, Generico gets one more shot at Big Poppa Pump’s championship but if he fails this? He’ll be out of chances.

Street Fight
Loser Leaves Town

“The Extreme Enigma” Jeff Hardy
Vs
“King of Old School” Steve Corino

Steve Corino was ready to retire. He was ready to join Jim Cornette at the announcers table. Jeff Hardy wasn’t ready to let Corino escape that easily especially without a fight. Three months ago, Corino, in the eyes of the CCW fans got away with a vicious and heinous assault on Jeff and his family. Corino continued to plead innocence and that it was a simple misunderstanding. Jeff Hardy doesn’t believe Corino for a second and wants revenge. The only way Corino would agree to this challenge is for Jeff to put his young promising career on the line. These two can’t co-exist in the same company and after what should be a sadistic war, they won’t have to. Who will survive? Who will leave? Find out at Wrestle Jam ’12.


World Tag Team Championship
LADDER MATCH

The American Wolves (Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards) ©
Vs
World’s Greatest Tag Team (Shelton Benjamin and Charlie Haas) w/"The Manager of Champions" Vicki Guerrero

Championship gold continued to flourish for The Guerrero Camp as The World’s Greatest Tag Team continued their historic two year reign as they took on the best the world had to offer. Then, came the American Wolves of Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards, largely unknown in the wrestling business in what was considered one of the biggest upsets in CCW history, the Wolves dethroned the champs and have established themselves as one of the most elite teams in the world.

The WGTT and Vicki Guerrero haven’t relented on their pursuit to recapture the championship. After an mesmerizing rematch that saw the Wolves retain the gold in a controversial fashion, the WGTT were granted the opportunity for one more shot at the titles but it wouldn’t be contested under regular rules but rather in a LADDER MATCH. This is the first tag team Ladder Match in CCW history and here are the absolute best teams to make history. These are four of the world’s most talented athletes and we’re in for what should be a innovative and exhilarating contest.

Television Championship Match
“The Ice Man” Dean Malenko w/Sweetness Walter Payton ©
Vs
The Brian Kendrick w/Mongo McMichael

There is probably very little doubt that Dean Malenko is perhaps the greatest technician in the wrestling business and there is very little doubt that The Brian Kendrick is perhaps the most egotistic self assured performers in the squared circle today. These two have engaged in not just a personality clash but in a personal war for the Television Championship. Kendrick upped the ante when he acquired the protective services of former Chicago Bear, Steve “Mongo” McMichael but Malenko, the crafty veteran was prepared for this tactic. Malenko reached out to a Chicago Bear as well, and it doesn’t get any sweeter then this as The Ice Man will have all time legend, Walter “Sweetness” Payton by his side to watch out for his former team-mate turned bodyguard. Kendrick and Malenko are among the best talents in the world and with the addition of the Chicago legends by their side, it should be an explosive showdown.

THE EPIC FINALE
MATCH #7 OF THE HISTORIC BEST OF SEVEN SERIES

“The Messiah of the Backbreaker” Roderick Strong
Vs
“The Japanese Buzzsaw” Tajiri

It all began with a simple challenge that no one ever expected to reach this level of greatness. In early December, former Television champion, Roderick Strong seeking a true challenge declared he wanted to face the best all around talent the world had to provide. That challenge was answered from the Japanese Buzzsaw, Tajiri. The challenge was laid down by CCW. 7 Matches to determine who is “The Best in the World” and the first six contests have been beyond spectacular. Strong took the first two matches, only for Tajiri to storm back by taking the next three. In an absolute classic, Roderick Strong captured the tie with a breathtaking 42 minute wrestling clinic that will redefine the business. So? What happens in the FINALE? The Final Showdown will be the one to declare the Best in the World.


SIX MAN TAG ACTION
The Full Blooded Italians (Little Guido, Johnny the Bull Stamboli and Tony Mamaluke)
Vs
The Right to Censor (Steven Richards, Bull Buchanan and Sean Morley)

The Full Blooded Italians have been known for their boisterous antics, loud personalities and questionable moral ethics that have endeared them well to the CCW fans. A particular group of men connected by their equal dislike for the actions of The F.B.I, simply known as The Rights to Censor have continued their crusade to eliminate the FBI once and for all. Their issues will come to an end at Wrestle Jam ‘12.

INTERNATIONAL CHALLENGE
FLAG MATCH

“Dog Faced Gremlin” Rick Steiner Vs Shinya Hashimoto
Finding solace in his patriotism after the devastating betrayal from his brother, Rick Steiner proudly wears the Banner of the US. Shinya Hashimoto, a decorated star from various Japanese promotions, brought over to the CCW for a special tour immediately took issue over Steiner’s blatant patriotism. These two men battle for international bragging rights in a unique FLAG MATCH.

FOUR WAY TAG TEAM ELIMINATION
*Winner Receives #1 Contender Rights to Tag Team Titles
*
The Godwins Vs Heavenly Bodies Vs Nasty Boys Vs Le Resistance

The loaded CCW Tag Team division is put on display in a special Four Way Elimination match staring some of the best tag teams the CCW has to offer. A unique offering of personalities, styles and attitudes clash in a grueling elimination challenge for the #1 Contender Rights to the CCW Tag Team Championship.​
 
I'll start off with the write ups for the preliminary matches and the first round King of Fighters tournament matches tonight.

New Japan Professional Wrestling Presents
Inoki Boom Ba Yae
Live from The Sumo Hall in Tokyo, Japan



Hiroshi Tanahashi Vs Joey Ryan: Hiroshi Tanahashi has become one of the most talked about up and comers in recent memory after being introduced to the world by NJPW founder, Antonio Inoki. In his short stint in the company, Tanahashi has gone undefeated, beating former World Champions such as Masa Saito and Yuji Nagata. News of his feats in the ring have spread worldwide and controversial American independent wrestling sensation Joey Ryan became enraged that Tanahashi and not he was being hyped as the best new talent in the wrestling world. Ryan vowed that he'd be the biggest thing to hit Japan since World War II. Tanahashi chose to ignore Ryan's divisive remarks, letting his ringwork do the talking. That was until during Tanahashi's recent tour of the United States, when after a match in Philadelphia with Lance Cade, Tanahashi was spat upon in the face by Joey Ryan. Tanahashi told the press that Ryan's antics went beyond mere trash talk and vowed not only to defeat him but to humiliate him. Ryan remarked that Tanahashi had done nothing but beat up a bunch of rice pushers and he would show the world that he is the one to watch in the future.

King of Fighters Tournament: Top superstars from every sport gathered at a recent banquet honoring the great Antonio Inoki. Perhaps none were greater than three time Olympic Gold Medalist Aleksandr Karelin, who delivered an elequent speech honoring Antonio Inoki's achievements in the world of wrestling and martial arts. Inoki then thanked Karelin and called him an athlete that was perhaps impossible to beat by any wrestler or martial artist. Taking exception to this, the arrogantly violent NJPW black sheep known as Akira Maeda charged the stage to dispute the assertion, claiming shoot style wrestling was far superior to Karelin's Greco-Roman style and he could defeat him or any other fighter easily. This caused four time World Heavyweight Boxing Champion Evander Holyfield to rush to the podium to argue that neither Karelin nor Maeda would know what to do if they were hit with full force by a championship prizefighter. Soon, wrestlers and athletes filled the stage in an intense debate arguing, who was the true King of Fighters.

Wanting to settle this dispute and get back to the tribute in his honor, Antonio Inoki declared he would settle the matter by holding a one night, fourteen man King of Fighters tournament to dispute who was truly the toughest man in the world. Having gained donations from some of the most powerful men in the world, Inoki guaranteed the largest purse in wrestling history for the winner of the tournament; $10,000,000. 14 men will fight in nine different styles of matches and at the end, only one man will have what it takes to become...The King of Fighters.

Akeem "The African Dream" Vs "Das Wunderkind" Alex Wright: First Round Matchup...Last Man Dancing match
Akeem "The African Dream" is one of biggest surprises in wrestling, both literally and figuratively! Proving to be a surprisingly agile, in the ring and on the dance floor, for a man of over 450 pounds, he is proven to be no mere joke wrestler. Having taken Japanese Champion Antonio Inoki to the limit in a recent match, Akeem was a natural fit for the tournament. Recently, however, the big man from Deepest, Darkest Africa was distraught after the debut of German sensation Alex Wright. Claiming to be not a only better wrestler and dancer but better looking than Akeem, Wright sent shockwaves through the Japanese wrestling press when he inserted that The African Dream was not even from The Dark Continent. Akeem became so upset by these allegations that he contemplated hanging up his dancing shoes ever. Luckily, cooler heads prevailed, and Akeem avowed to make Wright put up or shut up and demanded he face him in the first round of the King of Fighters tournament. The two will face off in the first ever Last Man Dancing match. In this match, a wrestler will lose if he is unable to dance after a ten count following being knocked out by his opponent.

Genichiro Tenryu Vs Tiger Jeet Singh: First Round King of Fighters, Indian Strap Match: Tenryu, a veteran NJPW superstar, is out to prove himself. Long overshadowed over by the more flashy Inoki, he has vowed to do what it has to take to win the tournament, not for himself but for the great country of Japan. Unfortunately, what it will take is quite a lot. His first round opponent is the feared Tiger Jeet Singh, a man who has brought the NJPW to its knees on multiple occasions. Not only will he be facing the Indian wrestling legend but he'll be facing him in his specialty match; the Indian Strap Match. Can Tenryu overcome the odds and make his country proud or will he be slashed from the tournament early on by the sword wielding, Punjabi madman.

Karl Malone Vs Glacier. First Round King of Fighters, Chairs match: Karl Malone, simply put, is one of the greatest professional basketball players of all time. A surefire Hall of Famer and two time MVP, he has enthralled hoops fans for decades. But how he will fare in the ring is a complete mystery to wrestling fans. What is known is that Malone is hard at work, training in the NJPW Dojo in Los Angeles, ready to show that he has what it takes in the ring as well as in the court. A greater mystery is the presence of the enigmatic Glacier. A man who hasn't yet appeared in a professional wrestling ring let alone a NJPW ring, his debut has been heralded by dazzling messages at NJPW events promising that "Blood Will Run Cold" for months if not years. Purportedly, a legend of underground fighting circles, Glacier's martial arts skills have been spoken about in hushed tones, unlike those reserved for any martial artist since the late Bruce Lee. Adding to the intrigue of the match up is the fact that the ring will be surrounded by dozens if not hundreds of steel chairs, available for both competitors to use on their opponent. Will Blood Run Cold or will the Jazzmaster's song ring all the way through the finals? No one is sure but what is known is this will prove to be one of the most interesting match ups of the tournament.

Abdullah The Butcher Vs Giant Gonzalez. First Round King of Fighters. First Blood match up: On the surface, the constantly blood lusting Sudanese mad man, Abdullah The Butcher looked to have the luckiest draw of the tournament. He would be wrestling in a First Blood match up. However, his opponent, is a tall order for The Buthcer in the most literal sense. Standing at eight feet tall, Giant Gonzalez is the world's biggest professional wrestler and is set to prove that he not only has the size but the skill to conquer the wrestling world and win the $10,000,000 prize. And given that Abby is as if not more prone to bleeding himself as he is making others shed the crimson mask, this match is no easy win for the Mad Man From Sudan.

Josh Barnett Vs Masa Saito. First Round King of Fighters. Parking Lot Brawl: Former UFC Heavyweight Champion Josh Barnett has adapted to the wild and weird world of professional wrestling at an incredibly fast rate but he'll face his biggest test yet when he faces one of the most feared men in wrestling history, Masa Saito. The two men will face off in a match that makes Barnett's former home, the Octagon look like a square dance festival; a Tokyo municpal parking lot. Barnett will not only have to rely on his considerable skills in mixed martial arts and pro wrestling but his skills in pure, anarchic street fighting. And few can brawl better than Masa Saito, who has terrorized not only wrestlers but bar room brawlers, bouncers, and officers of the law world wide with his unrelenting ferocity.

Evander Holyfield Vs Yuji Nagata. First Round King of Fighters. Boxer Vs Wrestler: Evander Holyfield makes his debut in the wrestling ring. The only heavyweight to be a Four Time World Champion, he has been training hard for weeks on end to guarantee that he'll now how to handle himself if his opponent takes the fight to the ground. His opponent is no ordinary pushover but former Japanese Champion Yuji Nagata, who vows to break Holyfield's arm. Holyfield has told reporters that this will not happen as he is taking this tournament as seriously as any one of his heavyweight prizefights. To him, a King of Fighters tournament win would be more valuable than any of his championship belts and he's set to prove that he's not just one of the best in boxing but the best in the world.

The Cowboys (Silver King, Lance Cade, and Trevor Murdoch) Vs The Mecha Killer Bees (Jumpin' Bee, Moon Bee, and Bono Bee): During a recent match with Silver King, American star Jim Brunzell was brutally attacked by his opponent's bodyguards, Cade and Murdoch. His face was disfigured so badly that he was forced to put on a mask, shielding the audience from the horrific scars left on his face. Brunzell vowed to get revenge on the ruthless cowboys and recruited two unlikely partners to don the black and yellow masks and go into battle with him. Max Moon is one of the most eclectic and entertaining superstars in wrestling, delighting fans with his unique and explosive style. Akebono is a former Sumo Champion, who was trained for professional wrestling personally by Antonio Inoki and is set to make a big impact in the sport. Standing at 6'8'' tall and weighing at over 500 pounds, it won't be hard but the brawny and stocky, root tootin' cowboys are out to proof that the bigger they are, the harder they fall. This six man tag is guaranteed to entertain and delight.


Previews for the second round match-ups and World title matches to be featured in a future post.
 
Part Two


NWA World Tag Team Titles Match: The Minnesota Wrecking Crew (c) Vs The Wild Samoans: The Minnesota Wrecking Crew, Ole and Gene Anderson, have long ruled the roost as tag team's toughest men. Dominating the competition, they've held the tag teams toughest men. However, their reign of supremacy has been recently challenged by Afa and Sika, The Wild Samoans. The Samoan Savages have not only gone undefeated but virtually unchallenged in their time in Japan. They easily dispatched Cade and Murdoch in under ten minutes to earn the shot at the tag titles. The Andersons have been unmoved by Afa and Sika's brutal displays of power and remarkable agility, claiming that their vast technical wrestling skills will trump over the Samoans' raw and unhinged fury. Who is the toughest team in professional wrestling? The world will find out at Inoki Boom-Ba-Yae.

IWGP Junior Heavyweight title match: The Great Sasuke (c) Vs Tiger Mask: Like a comet, the great light heavyweight wrestler, Tiger Mask flashed brilliantly for a period before fading away. In a brief five year period, he dominated the competition and provided the blue print for light heavyweight wrestling for the next few decades. Yet, at the height of his powers, he retired, leaving wrestling fans to wonder what if. A decade later, a new star emerged. The Great Sasuke won the IWGP Junior Heavyweight title in his first year of competition but despite winning his weight class' greatest prize, he was left unfulfilled. He would have to beat his idol, Tiger Mask. When Tiger Mask returned at a recent NJPW event as a spectator, he greeted the young Sasuke warmly as if to pass the torch. This friendly reunion quickly became tense when Sasuke wouldn't let go of Tiger Mask's hand, pulled him in close to talk to him face to face and exchanged heated words. Tiger Mask became so offended by this display of poor behavior that he immediately agreed to come out of retirement for one last match. Little is known of the great Tiger Mask's whereabouts in the past few years. Has he retained the unmatched skill or will his return after such a long layoff prove to be a folly? One thing is sure...neither man will take bout lightly.

Six Man Special Attraction: Bad News Brown, Mark Henry, and Ken Patera Vs Ken Shamrock, Ahmed Johnson, and Mike Barton: Bad News Brown and Mark Henry have been two of the biggest loudmouths in wrestling but they have a trail of battered and bruised bodies to back up their words. Claiming that no white boys or dirty Japs could ever match their proud Nubian strength, they went undefeated for six months bringing even the great Antonio Inoki and Genichiro Tenryu to their knees. They finally managed to meet their match when they faced off against Five Time Former Tag Team Champion Mike Barton and UFC Hall of Famer Ken Shamrock. Refusing to concede defeat, Brown passed out while in Shamrock's ankle lock submission. In a rematch, just as it appeared that the same result would repeat itself, Olympic Weightlifter Ken Patera ran in from the audience and brutally beat Shamrock and Barton unconscious with the ring stairs. Though admitting that Patera's skin was fair, Henry and Brown claimed his soul was as black as theirs. They were all Olympic athletes, proud heroes of their respective countries that were now unwelcome in their homelands for reasons deserved and undeserved. An enraged Shamrock challenged them to a six man tag against him, Barton, and a partner of their choice. The Olympians were quick to accept, expecting an easy contest, only to find out their partner was Henry and Brown's former training partner, Ahmed Johnson. Johnson is set to prove that wrestling isn't about black or white but the best man in the ring. This match has gone far beyond a mere wrestling feud and become a personal grudge between the match's participants.

Akira Maeda Vs Aleksandr Karelin, Second Round, King of Fighters tournament, Mixed Martial Arts Rules: Akira Maeda has long been the black sheep of New Japan Professional Wrestling. Entering wrestling after being blackballed from the world of sumo, he quickly gained a reputation as one of the fiercest and most unruly competitor. Brutalizing his competition, he struck fear into the hearts of his opponents. The great Antonio Inoki refused to even get in the ring with him for fear that Maeda would intentionally hurt him. Maeda blackmailed Inoki into giving him a second round bye after threatening to reveal photos of Inoki with the late North Korean leader Kim Jong Il and a bevy of prostitutes for the world to see. Inoki got back at the ruthless Maeda by pairing him against Aleksandr Karelin, perhaps the greatest Greco-Roman wrestler of all time, in a Three Round Mixed Martial Arts rules match. Maeda has no reverence for his opponent, claiming that he'll break his jaw before the fight will even get to the ground. Karelin has simply said he'll do his talking in the ring and let his record speak for itself. That record is almost unvarnished. Undefeated for twelve years in his sport and not having given up a single point in six. Will Maeda back up his words and make the great Karelin one of his victims or will Aleksandr prove to be as masterful in the world of professional wrestling as he has in Greco Roman?

NWA World title match: Lou Thesz (c) Vs Rikidozan: The rematch of the century. Two years ago, Rikidozan, the Godfather of Japanese Wrestling challenged Lou Thesz, perhaps the greatest wrestler of all time, for the NWA World title. It was a hard fought battle, going to the time limit. Thesz was awarded a controversial split decision. Thesz's victory was doubly controversial because some argued he used nefarious methods through out the bout. After the match, Thesz repeatedly vowed that he would not face Rikidozan again because his body could not withstand the physical punishment. Rikidozan, instead of complaining, used actions instead of words. He built up an 18 month win streak. When Antonio Inoki was announced as the #1 contender for the NWA World title, he sacrificed his title shot and gave it to Rikidozan. Inoki claimed that without Rikidozan, there would be no Inoki or NJPW and that he deserved one last shot at becoming champion of the world. Thesz having signed a contract to defend the belt in Tokyo, was forced to agree to the rematch or be stripped of his title. Thesz has vowed that he will not lose his belt on foreign soil and that he will not take this bout as lightly as he did the first matchup. At Inoki Boom Ba Yae, two of the greatest of all time will go head to head and surely will be a brilliant display of technical wrestling.

IWGP Heavyweight title match: Antonio Inoki (c) Vs The Giant: Antonio Inoki, the beloved face of the IWGP, has taken on all comers from all corners of the world in his illustrious career. He has won the hearts of Japanese wrestling fans many times over and has won virtually every title to be won in the world of pro wrestling. Few would dispute that there was anything left to accomplish in his career yet fans were shocked and dismayed when he announced his retirement at a press conference attended by hundreds of members of the international sports media in Tokyo. Just as it appeared, he would gracefully ride off into the sunset, a mysterious monster of a man emerged from the crowd and challenged Inoki to a match. Many were dismissive of this beast, not knowing if he had any wrestling background or experience. Inoki, ever the competitor, graciously agreed to wrestle the unknown in a non-title bout at his retirement show at the Budokhan Hall. The wrestling world was stunned when the mystery monster, known simply as The Giant, absolutely destroyed Inoki in under three minutes. Shamed and humiliated in his last match, many wondered if Inoki would ever be brave enough to show his face again. Sixty days later at another press conference, held ostensibly to announce the tournament to crown the holder of Inoki's now vacant title, Inoki shocked the world by announcing that he would never retire and that he was going to defend his IWGP Heavyweight title in a rematch against The Giant. The Giant has claimed that he has only become stronger and quicker in the time since the first match and vowing that this time, he'll end Inoki's career forever. Inoki knows his opponent's size and skill are nearly insurmountable but he has a fighting spirit unlike no other professional wrestler and this time, he swears he will not go down easily and will show the wrestling world that the monster known as The Giant is a mere mortal. It's the Biggest Vs The Best. The Return of Inoki against The Giant! Who will come out on top at Inoki Boom Ba Yae?

Background History to the Promotion



The UWC is a North American(USA and Canada) based promotion that is known for its exciting blend of in ring action and realistic storylines. It runs a weekly Friday night live show called Ultimate Friday Fights (UFF) that airs in many cities around NA and the world. UWC aims its product at the 18-34 demographic, and attempts to remain realistic in the booking and staging of the product. It has no midcard title, but has two separate divisions, Lightweight (< 200 pounds) and Heavyweight(openweight). Lightweight wrestlers are eligible to compete in the heavyweight division if they choose to do so. The UWC also has a decently sized Tag Team and Women's divisions. The UWC frowns upon intentional disqualification, and as such, titles do change hands as a result of a DQ.

Skydome Superstars is the premier show of the UWC, and is held on the Sunday night closest to July 9 every year at the Rogers Centre (former Skydome). Tony Atlas is the on air president, and is by and large, a popular head. He is known for his penchant for shirts with their arms cut off, and for shooting down suggestions by wrestlers and ending his announcements with his infectious laugh, demonstrated below:

Tony Atlas laughs at David Otunga

Tony (on air) has booked the card for the show tonight, and has established one new title during his reign as President, the Playboy Bunny Championship (at the request of Sable - more later). In addition to these, Tony oversees the sanctioning and contesting of bouts for the World Heavyweight Championship, the World Lightweight Championship, the World Tag Team Championship and the World Women's Championship. All five titles will be contested tonight.

Vince McMahon aka Vinny Mac is the Play by Play commentator. A largely face biased commentator, his love of BAAAAAAAAAAAAACK BODY DROPS continues till today. He is excellent at calling the action and interviewing wrestlers in his weekly segment Vittoria with Vinny (an in ring interview section where he drinks Vittoria coffee and hypes upcoming events). He is known for publicly embarrassing heels and is very popular with the crowd. His bow ties are adored by many many fans (who dress like him) and he has a soft spot for the more attractive female wrestlers.

Don West is the heel colour commentator. Don West has a long running rivalry with Vinny Mac due to the former's popularity with the fans as a whole. West is known for shitting all over Tony Atlas on commentary, and pretty much every black competitor as well. He does however have a big big hardon for good lightweight wrestling, which is showcased in the program tonight.

Ricardo Rodriguez is the Spanish commentator. He also serves as a comical lightweight competitor, and gets around this issue by commentating all his matches in Spanish as he wrestles. He drives a beat up Datsun to his special announce table and often attempts to use it as a weapon when he fights. McMahon and West ignore Ricardo for the most part due to his idiocy.

Howard Finkel is the in ring announcer, and is a classic voice loved by everyone. Nothing more needs to be said. He's awesome.

Funaki and Leticia Cline are the two backstage interviewers and announcers.

Leticia serves as the primary backstage interviewer, handling all the main event interviews in a candid and professional manner. She has a long running rivalry with Christy Hemme, who used to be a backstage announcer until Tony Atlas decided equality between the sexes was required and booted her for Funaki. As Leticia was retained, a long rivalry has ensued, with Christy attempting to steal Leticia's interviewees and even assaulting Cline when she was interviewing Jericho on the go home show to the PPV.

Funaki, despite his Japanese accent, is a surprisingly good interviewer, who has developed his own unique style since being hired by Atlas. He is the specialist interviewer for the Tokyo Thunder(a heel stable consisting of Manami Toyota, El Samurai and Ryusuke Taguchi) He is still new to the role, and is mentored by Leticia in some backstage segments on how to interview wrestlers and managers. He does have a tendency to attempt to interview angry wrestlers after a loss or a DQ/screwjob, and has often paid the price for it, being used as cannon fodder in many segments.

The champions as of the PPV are:

World Heavyweight Champion - Christian
World Lightweight Champion - Billy Kidman
World Tag Team Champions - Tokyo Thunder (El Generico and El Samurai)
World Women's Champion - Alundra Blayze
Playboy Bunny Champion - Sable



At 6:59pm a 60 second countdown begins to the PPV viewers and on the titantron for spectators. At 7pm, the lights go out, and the Skydome Superstars music hits:

Avicii - Levels (Original Mix) HD

The pyros explode at the bass drop and Vince McMahon welcomes us to Skydome Superstars X - Christian vs Jericho from the sold out Rogers Centre in Toronto Canada. His broadcast colleague as always is Don West, who is excited as hell to be here. While they are talking, Ricardo Rodriguez heads out to the ring in his Datsun, parks next to his table and they welcome the Spanish announcer. Tony Atlas is also seated ringside near McMahon and West to oversee the matches, and they have a brief interview with him where they run for the card for tonights event, which brings us to:



Skydome Superstars Card

Note: This is written in chronological order of how the bouts occur. I will list the match, provide background information, then run through a brief match synopsis and results.

David vs Goliath Match: Funaki vs Matt Morgan

Background History: Funaki continues to improve in both his interviewing and wrestling, building confidence as he defeated Ricardo Rodriguez, Maven and then Ryusuke Taguchi in successive singles matches. This success led him to ask Tony Atlas for a bigger challenge while interviewing him about the Skydome Superstars card on UFF, who handed him by far his biggest assignment yet, the 7 foot tall former World Tag Team Champion Matt Morgan. With such a large step up in size for Funaki, the junior backstage announcer will have his hands full tonight, balancing his broadcast role with this leviathan challenge.

Play by Play: Abraham King is the referee. Funaki comes out all guns blazing, throwing fast kicks, chops and strikes, and has Morgan dazed, the big man unable to mount any offense. Funaki heads to the top rope, and fires a missile drop kick, which is intercepted by Morgan, who catches him and drops him for a backbreaker. Morgan then slows the pace down, wearing on Funaki with stomps, punches and chops. As Morgan heads for a turnbuckle splash, Funaki ducks under, and responds with a huge enzuigiri. He heads to the top turnbuckle again, and this time, connects with a splash from the top. 1, 2 and no, Morgan kicks out. Funaki then picks the big man up and drags him to the corner with a headlock, moving up the second rope. Funaki attempts a Rising Sun Tornado DDT, only to be caught by Morgan, who drops him with the Hellevator. Morgan then drags Funaki up and irish whips him into the ropes, catching him with a Carbon Footprint for the 1, 2, 3 at 5:12.

Result: Matt Morgan def Funaki by pinfall at 5:12.

Four Way Elimination World Women's Championship Match: Alundra Blayze(c) vs Manami Toyota vs Natalya Neidhart vs Lita

Background History: When Blayze, a former champion from another promotion, decided to sign with the UWC, she brought with her a wave of new female wrestlers who prided themselves on in ring ability and technique above all else. Her shocking demolition of 5 time Women's Champion Sable in just over 2 minutes earned her not just the title, but the respect of the entire roster, male and female alike. With Sable firmly in her rearview mirror, Blayze now turns her attention to three new challengers - Toyota, Neidhart and Lita. Manami Toyota, long time manager of Tokyo Thunder, revealed herself a force to be reckoned with by unleashing an arsenal of powerbombs, suplexes and brain busters on all her opponents, steamrolling her way into this title match. Natalya brings a pedigree of grappling excellence into the UWC ring, and her insane strength makes her a strong threat to Blayze's title tonight. Lita, on the other hand, has incredible agility and a wide variety of high octane offense stemming from her lucha libre background. Atlas has decided to place all four women into the one elimination match to determine not only which style of women's wrestling is the most effective, but who exactly is the best women's wrestler in the division.

Play by Play: Charles Robinson is in charge for this match, with Black ref acting as a secondary official if two simultaneous pin attempts occur. After the introductions and the bell ring, Toyota and Blayze lock up in the centre, leaving Nattie and Lita to duke it out in the corner. Lots of intense back and forth action ensues, with Natalya gaining the upper hand on Lita quickly, rocking her in the corner with huge stomps and punches. In the middle, Toyota is dominating Blayze, countering the champion's attempted Blayze of Glory (aeroplane spin into side slam) with a HUGE Japanese Ocean Suplex, with Alundra rolling out of the ring clutching her head. In the corner, Lita escapes as Nattie attempts a drop kick, leaving the Calgary native stranded with her legs suspended on the ropes. Seeing this, Toyota decides to capitalize with a jumping splash, grabs Natalya, pulling her up into a Victory Star Drop. Lita breaks up the pin by moonsaulting both women and attempts a double pin, but is thrown off by Neidhart, straight into the hands of Blayze, who combos a German suplex into a Blayze of Glory, leading to the pinfall and elimination of Lita at 4:15. As Natalya recovers in the centre, Blayze and Toyota lockup once again, and Blayze chains a spinning heel kick into a Russian legsweep, dropping the Japanese contender to the mat. As the champ attempts the pin, Manami grabs Blayze, and shows incredible strength by standing up while holding Alundra in a straight jacket choke hold and then Japanese Ocean Bombing her. Not content, Toyota then puts an air of finality on Alundra's championship reign by Japanese Ocean Cyclone Suplexing Blayze, and that's all she wrote as Toyota gets the pinfall at 7:36. A new champion will be crowned tonight as Natalya rises to her feet, locking up with Toyota in the centre of the ring. The pair put on an absolute clinic from here on, suplexing, powerbombing and DDTing each other all over the canvas. As Toyota attempts a a moonsault to a downed Neidhart, the Canadian girl rolls out of the way, and then proceeds to lock on a Sharpshooter at 13:36. Toyota struggles, scrambling for the ropes, but Natalya drags her right back into the centre and tightens the lock, and Manami is forced to tap at 14:25.

Result: Natalya def Manami Toyota by submission at 14:25 to become the new World Women's Champion.

Triple Threat World Tag Team Championship Match: Tokyo Thunder(c) vs Black Magic(Consequences Creed and Maven) w/ Snoop Dogg vs Cowboy Muscle(Chris Masters and Skip Sheffield)

Background History: The Tokyo Thunder, El Samurai and Ryusuke Taguchi, have dominated the Tag Team division since their arrival into the UWC. Together with their valet Manami Toyota, a formidable women's competitor in her own right, Tokyo Thunder stampeded through Matt Morgan and Christopher Daniels for the title, and then proceeded to dismantle Cowboy Muscle with ease. When Black Magic, managed by the famous rapper Snoop Dogg, decided to enter the fray, they accounted for the Japanese champions in style, but subsequently lost their following match with Cowboy Muscle, with the combined strength of Masters and Sheffield proving too difficult for the pair. As such, a Triple Threat match has been sanctioned as the solution, with 3 men allowed in the ring at the same time, and the first team to gain a pin fall or submission the winners of this exciting title match.

Play by Play:Taguchi, Creed and Masters are in the ring to start. Snoop Dogg is at ringside, but Toyota is not following her Women's title loss. Creed and Masters lock up, and Taguchi chills at the turnbuckle. Creed and Masters realise this, and then switch their attention to the Japanese champion, swinging him into the centre of the ring and laying an unholy beatdown on him. Masters then goes for a Masterlock, but Creed breaks it up ass Taguchi fades. Great action here, as Creed gets the upper hand and tags in Maven, who comes flying off the top rope with a clothesline. Taguchi slithers into the corner for a hot tag to El Samurai, who runs in and Samurai bombs a fallen Masters. Maven breaks up the pin attempt, and proceeds to duke it out with Samurai, catching him with a Russian Legsweep and then a dropkick. Masters gets the hot tag to Sheffield, who rampages in and unloads on Maven, catching him with a gigantic running lariat and goes for the pin attempt himself. Samurai breaks it up, but then eats an Over the Shoulder Boulder Holder which sends him rolling out of the ring. Taguchi jumps with a huge flying cross body on Sheffield, and follows it up with a 180 degree Frog Splash. Since he is not the legal man, the referee refuses to count the pin, and Maven gets the tag to Creed, who spins Taguchi round, hits him with three left handed punches, does the splits and connects with a right hook. Snoop Dogg distracts Masters on the apron as Consequences raises Taguchi in a Firemans carry and drops him with a Creed Cutter for the pin at 12:13.

Result: Black Magic def Tokyo Thunder and Cowboy Muscle via pinfall at 12:13 to become the new World Tag Team Champions.

Low Rider on a Crane Match: Chavo Guerrero Jr. vs Alberto Del Rio

Background History: For a long time, Chavo Guerrero Jr. reigned supreme as the only Latino wrestler in the UWC, but the devastating arrival of Alberto Del Rio 6 months ago on UFF has changed the promotion forever. During a Lightweight title match between Guerrero and Christopher Daniels, Alberto heralded his entry into the UWC by ploughing his Rolls Royce into Chavo's Low Rider, allowing Daniels to steal the pin and the Lightweight title. Guerrero fired back the next week by taking a sledgehammer to Alberto's new Rolls, and the pair have been feuding in increasingly intense and increasingly car related matches ever since. Tonight at Skydome Superstars X, Tony Atlas has decided to resolve the conflict by sanctioning this Low Rider on a Crane Match, an all out brawl between both these men until one of them climbs the crane, lowers Chavo's Low Rider, and drives up the ramp.

Play by Play: With Chavo's arm snapped in half from that brutal armbar by Del Rio earlier on, he is unable to climb back down the crane after lowering his car. He attempts a jump from the crane cockpit, but lands awkwardly on his broken arm, leaving him screaming in agony. Del Rio begins to stir, and he slowly gets up and stumbles into the car clutching his midsection, and grimaces in pain as he drives the car up the ramp for the victory at 22:56.

Result: Alberto Del Rio def Chavo Guerrero Jr. at 22:56

Run-Down:

Commentary Team: Scott Hudson, Dave Prazak & Corey Maclin
Ring Announcer: Ray Combs
Referee: Mark Curtis



Arnold Schwarzenegger, John Morrison, Virgil & Thunderbolt Patterson defend the company against Sweet N Sour Inc (Larry Sweeney, Papa Shango, Kamala & Tatsumi Fujinami)
Background: Arnold is the kayfabe owner of the SWF. He runs the company in an unseen Ted Turner kind of way. Larry Sweeney has been around since day one and in the past year has assembled a group of heels known as Sweet N Sour Inc. Two months before this event, Sweeney had a document signed by Arnold that gave him control of the company. So Sweet N Sour Inc. began to run roughshod over the lower half of the card. The only official members are Shango, Kamala and their silent Japanese shooter, Fujinami. But Sweeney has used his new power in the company to help all of the heels at various times. So a few weeks before the show Sweeney challenges the big babyface tag team, Virgil & Patterson, to face all of Sweet N Sour Inc in a handicap loser-leaves town match. Before the match takes place Arnold arrives for his first ever appearance in person at The Omni. He claims that he never signed the document. When Sweeney says he had a handwriting expert verify it to be true, Arnold suddenly has a flashback and says he remembers being put under a spell by Shango. So all of this leads to Arnold challenging Sweeney to make the match all four members of Sweet N Sour Inc. versus Arnold, Virgil, Patterson and a partner of their choice. Sweeney is pressured into it by legal threats and agrees to a match where the winner, Arnold or Sweeney, will receive full control of the SWF. After the contract for the match is signed Sweeney says Arnold has waived his rights to ownership for the time being and as Sweeney is the acting commisioner no employee of SWF is permitted to join Arnold's team. Arnold then introduces his partner, a newcomer to the SWF, John Morrison! The fans are excited and the match is set....

Chyna vs Adrian Street (w/ Miss Linda)
Background: Adrian Street was a guest on a frequent interview segment, "Getting Freaky With Cee Lo", Cee Lo was conducting the interview from his trademark round waterbed, when Adrian proclaimed himself the best looking person in the SWF. Chyna emerged from under the covers of Cee Lo's bed and took exception saying that she was in Playboy and is a sex symbol to millions. Adrian Street and his companion, Miss Linda, laughed hysterically at this statement which caused Chyna to attack them until she was pulled off. At another event, Chyna attacked Miss Linda at ringside during one of Adrian's matches. Chyna challenges Linda to a match which causes further uproar of laughter when Adrian and Linda declare Chyna too masculine to enter the ring with someone as delicate as Linda. When Chyna switches her challenge to Adrian, he is at first reluctant, but is intrigued when Chyna makes it a "Loser must have a sex change match" and agrees to the match, promising to introduce Chyna to some of his friends in the East Point section of Atlanta when she becomes a man....

Eddie Gilbert (C) vs Colt Cabana for the Southern Championship with Doug Gilbert as special referee
Background: Colt Cabana is one of the most over babyfaces in the company. Eddie Gilbert was the first Southern Champion, a fairly new championship, which is the second biggest title in the company. He beat Cabana in the finals of the tournament for the title with help from his brother, Doug. At the next event, Doug asked Eddie for a shot at the belt and Eddie was not pleased with this idea and blows Doug off. In his first big rematch with Colt, which was non-title, Doug "accidentally" hit Eddie with a chair, which gave Colt the win and a shot at the belt. Replays suggest that Doug saw Eddie coming but Doug swears it was an accident. Larry Sweeney, who is friendly with the Gilberts, and has tried everything to prevent Colt from getting the title, makes Doug the special referee in this match to ensure that Colt loses because Colt has embarrassed Larry on numerous occassions. One week before RassleFest, Doug took to the ring to declare that he will call it right down the middle, which further angered Eddie. But when cameras caught them backstage, Doug promised Eddie that he will help him win. But just minutes before RassleFest went on the air, cameras caught Doug and Colt shaking hands......

Run DMC vs Kevin Federline & PG-13 (JC Ice & Wolfie D)
Background: During a big performance at RassleFest 2, which took place 6 months ago, Run DMC performed a medley of hits which was loved by every fan in attendance. A month later, Larry Sweeney promised an even better performance at RassleFest 3 and finally, two months ago he announced the best rapper alive would entertain the fans. The internet was a buzz with names like Jay-Z and Lil Wayne. The next week, Sweeney presents his entertainer amidst a huge display of pyrotechnics. A figure emerges from the wall of smoke to be...Kevin Federline! The crowd erupts into furious boos while one of Federline's "hits" plays through the arena. Larry Sweeney declares the fans ungrateful and threatens to keep Federline from performing at all. This sends the fans into ecstasy and they cheer his decision. The following week, Sweeney says he had a change of heart and instead of keeping Federline away, he will now be the official rapper of the SWF, beginning in 2 weeks because, in Larry's words, "K-Fed is too busy touring the world right now, performing for millions!" When Run DMC arrive the next week, interrupting one of Sweeney's video tributes to Federline, they threaten to beat down Federline if he appears next week. Federline does appear, but before he is able to rap, Run DMC appear at the entranceway, threatening to choke Federline with his own chains. They are jumped from behind by PG-13 as well as the members of Sweet N Sour Inc. In the weeks that follow, PG-13 and K-Fed throw horribly laughable freestyle insults towards the rappers, which finally leads to Run DMC challenging them at RassleFest 3. JC Ice speaks up and says "Fine! We'll murder you in a rap battle, all you rap about is shoes and kangol hats!" but Run replies that he never mentioned a rap battle and they want a wrestling match! PG-13 and Federline reluctantly accept....

Fabulous Freebirds (Michael Hayes & Buddy Roberts) (C) vs The Briscoe Brothers in a Georgia Street Fight for the SWF Tag Team Championships
Background: Short version: A bunch of rednecks hate each other. Slightly longer version: The Freebirds have held the tag titles for almost 2 years, the entire existance of the SWF. Many have tried to beat them, many have failed. The Briscoes arrived on the scene about 3 months ago and in that time have beaten everyone in front of them. Except The Freebirds. They take credit for running other members of The Freebirds out of the SWF, leaving only Hayes & Roberts, who take exception to this. The match was signed over a month ago and the build has been intense and hate-filled. The Briscoes claim they are a more advanced version of The Freebirds, while Hayes accuses them of gimmick infringement and demands they stop wearing the Confederate flags when they lose. Just 3 weeks before the match, Hayes challenges the Briscoes to make the match a Georgia Street Fight with no holds barred. The Briscoes agree and promise to end the careers of the Freebirds....

Bull Nakano (c) vs Beth Phoenix for the Women's Championship
Background: Bull was the Women's Champion for nearly a year before losing the title to Beth in less than 5 minutes. Bull won the belt back in her first rematch, but is clearly still shocked to have lost in the first place, especially after Beth pinned her cleanly in a 6-person mixed match one week before RassleFest 3. Beth Phoenix will have the fans behind her, but even they believe that Beth's original victory over Bull was a fluke and that only a lack of confidence from Bull is causing Beth to get the better of her. They also wonder how much some of the recent beatings at the hands of Bull have taken out of Beth....

Brad Armstrong (c) vs Jack Evans vs Mikey Whipwreck vs Jimmy Rave in a ladder match for the Light Heavyweight Championship
Background: Brad Armstrong is 2-time Light Heavyweight Champion, having recently defeated Jack Evans for the title. Jack & Jimmy are the heels, while Brad is a hometown fan favourite and Mikey is the lovable underdog who recently took Brad to a 20 minute time-limit on TV. Jack Evans scored the winning pinfall in a tag-team match between Armstrong & Whipwreck vs Evans & Rave which gave him the right to decide the stipulations. He chose for it to be a ladder match. This is thought to be his speciality because he is undefeated in SWF ladder matches. Brad has never participated in a ladder match, so a title change is expected but in these type of matches, anything can happen....

Bruiser Brody vs Haku in a Last Man Standing match
Background: Bruiser Brody is a big fan favourite and faced Ric Flair for the World title in a cage match 3 months ago, but unbeknownst to everyone watching, Ric Flair hired Haku to watch his back. As Brody was inches from climbing over the cage to win the match, Haku shocked everyone by emerging from the crowd to knock Brody out with a 2x4. This allowed Flair to escape the cage and retain his title. After the match, Flair and Haku tore Brody apart before the Ultimate Warrior (returning after nearly a month following a knee injury at the hands of Flair's figure four) helped Brody out. In the months that have followed, brawls between Brody and Haku have taken place backstage and in parking lots everywhere below the Mason-Dixon line. Numerous matches between the two had to been thrown out because it couldn't be controlled Brody issued a challenge for Rasslefest 3 for a no holds barred Last Man Standing match which was quickly accepted by Haku....

Ric Flair (c) vs Ultimate Warrior for the World Heavyweight Championship
Background: Flair won the World title at the inaugural Rasslefest and has been the only champion, having recently celebrated 1 year of being champion. He has been a fighting champion, but also the self-proclaimed "dirtiest player in the game". This was especially true after the Ultimate Warrior made his debut in the SWF and quickly received a title shot. The Warrior had Flair in a bearhug that appeared to have left Flair lifeless when, suddenly the Warrior's boots burst into flames! He dropped Flair and tried to put out the fire by dancing around outside the ring, but nothing would put the fire out. During his struggle to remove the burning boots, the ref had no choice but to count the Warrior out, declaring Flair the winner and still champion. Warrior was outraged but before he had a chance to get his hands on Flair, Larry Sweeney appeared on the RassleVision screen and revealed that he had Papa Shango put a curse on the Warrior. While the Warrior watched the screen in fury, Flair nailed him from behind and applied the figure four and refused to let go, injuring the Warrior's knee and putting him out of action. When Warrior returned to help Brody fend off Haku and Flair, the fued was reignited. Warrior immediately demanded a title rematch, claiming that the last result was bogus. Larry Sweeney was hesitant to give this to Warrior, but Flair suprisingly agreed immediately. Sweeney gave Flair a confused look but Flair gave him an assured smile and signed the contract. Warrior had the last laugh, as Flair's smile disappeared when Warrior showed him the provision that stated the title WILL change hands if Flair is DQed or counted out!

Results:

Arnold Schwarzenegger, John Morrison, Virgil & Thunderbolt Patterson defeated Larry Sweeney, Papa Shango, Kamala & Tatsumi Fujinami in 13:09 when Morrison pinned Sweeney after Arnold had given Sweeny a powerslam. After the match Arnold got on the mic and suspended Sweeney for 6 months beginning now and ordered the breakup of Sweet N Sour Inc.

Adrian Street (w/ Miss Linda) defeated Chyna in 7:53 after Miss Linda threw powder in Chyna's face. As a result, Chyna must undergo full gender reassignment surgery. Adrian grabbed a mic afterwards and told Chyna not to worry because she can still have a successful career as a man and pointed to the big screen which had a mocked up Playgirl with Chyna (photoshopped as a man) on the cover.

Colt Cabana defeated Southern Champion Eddie Gilbert to win the title in 11:07. The match was originally awarded to Eddie when his brother Doug, special referee for the match turned on Colt and smashed him with a chair. As the Gilberts celebrated fooling Colt and the fans, newly reinstated owner, Arnold Schwarzenegger came to the ring and ordered the match be restarted with himself as the referee, showing that Larry Sweeney's tyranny was over. While Eddie and Doug argued with Arnold, Colt cracked Doug over the head with the same chair and then rolled up a still-reeling Eddie to win the title and send the fans into rapture!

Run DMC beat Kevin Federline & PG-13 in 6:26 when all three members of Run DMC hit piledrivers at the same time to their opponents and had a triple pin. Following the match, Run DMC performed a medley of their hits.

SWF Tag Team Champions The Fabulous Freebirds beat The Briscoe Brothers in 30:44 to retain the titles in a Georgia Street Fight. The match lived up to its name as it spilled out of the arena onto the streets of Georgia. Michael Hayes scored the pinfall over Mark Briscoe after he delivered a DDT onto a parked car. The Freebirds then delivered on their promise by stripping the Confederate flags off of The Briscoes, leaving them in just their boxers before tossing them in an alley while The Freebirds started taking shots of Jack Daniels with the rowdy hometown fans that had come out to celebrate their win.

Beth Phoenix defeated SWF Women's Champion Bull Nakano to win the title in 9:55. About 5 minutes into the match, Tatsumi Fujinami came to the ring to assist Bull during a spot of trouble in the match. But this led to John Morrison coming out to back-up Beth. When it was the two Japanese wrestlers doubleteaming Morrison on the outside while Beth lay in the middle of the ring, Fujinami accidentally smashed a back elbow into Bull's face, leaving her with a crimson mask. When she retreated to the ring to finish the match, she got more distracted by the amount of blood, giving Beth a chance to get in some offense. This led to a camel clutch from Beth. Nakano had lost too much blood and passed out in the hold, giving Beth the win.

Jimmy Rave defeated SWF Light Heavyweight Champion Brad Armstrong and Jack Evans and Mikey Whipwreck in a ladder match to win the title in 22:18. Some particularly insane spots from Evans saw him taken to the back on a stretcher after 18 minutes. The end came when, while Rave had Whipwreck locked in a heel hook for over a full minute and appeared to have broken his ankle, Armstrong scaled the ladder and had fingertips to the belt when Rave released Mikey and sent Armstrong crashing to the outside of the ring. Rave then retrieved the belt for himself in a complete surprise to the fans, who saw him as the distant outsider.

Bruiser Brody defeated Haku in a last man standing match at 38:02. Brutal match that had some fans wincing. Brody bled almost immediately and the announcers (particularly Prazak) wrote his chances off quickly as Haku battered Brody for the first 10 minutes of the contest until Brody got his trademark chain which he had well-hidden under the ring. As much as he laid into Haku with the chain he kept coming back for more. Brody got on the mic around the 30 minute mark and declared that Haku had earned his respect and if he'd just stay down for the ten-count, Brody would forget the whole beef and move on, but Haku would hear none of it and eventually managed to get ahold of the chain before whipping Brody with it. The end came when Brody attached a large anchor to the chain and walloped Haku with it.

World Heavyweight Champion Ric Flair defeated The Ultimate Warrior in 27:48 via submission to the figure four. Due to the stipulations, Flair had to stop himself several times from cheating because the title would have changed hands if he were DQed. This forced Flair to be slow and methodical and use his wrestling ability to get over on the Warrior. This earned a lot of respect from the fans, who applauded Flair at the final bell.
 
MMA Tournament
Kurt Angle vs Danny Hodge
Verne Gagne vs Dan Severn

Angle & Gagne represented the USA in the Olympic games for wrestling. Hodge would have if not for the war. Severn is one of the pioneers of mixed martial arts in this country. Who comes out on top as the best American fighter?

Ladies' Championship
The Fabulous Moolah vs Mildred Burke

Moolah defends the longest championship reign in wrestling history against the woman who trained her. Burke is disgusted that a protege of hers has resorted to such illicit tactics to retain a championship, and has come out of retirement to challenge her for the gold!

FTW Heavyweight Championship
Rob Van Dam vs Taz
Special guest referee: Bill Alfonso

Taz has acquired the FTW championship belt after a short reign by Sabu. However, it would not remain on Taz's shoulder for long, if another of Fonzie's clients has anything to say about it. Both men feel Alfonso will be calling the match in favor of them (Van Dam through friendship and naivete, Taz through intimidation and fear), but can The Man Who Always Calls It Right Down The Middle be swayed?

Hair vs Hair match
"Adorable" Adrian Adonis vs Ravishing Rick Rude

These two men have been battling for weeks over the affections of a fan at ringside; both men feeling her flirtatious moves were meant for them. Attempts to battle it out for her favor were both indecisive after Adonis won the first bout by pulling Rude's hair to lock him away in his devastating sleeper hold and Rude won the second by returning the favor to suck Adonis into a Rude Awakening. This time there will be no such shenanigans, as both men have put their locks on the line!

Giant Baba vs Hiro Matsuda
Two of the most famous wrestlers in Japanese history go one-on-one to determine who's the best. A battle of respect.

Hardcore Championship
Balls Mahoney vs The Big Boss Man

Balls Mahoney hits people with chairs. He once served as a strip poker dealer. He had a crush on exhibitionist Kelly Kelly and convinced her to leave Mike Knox for him.
The Big Boss Man pulls around people's dead daddies by chaining their casket to a Blues Brothers vehicle & tearing through a cemetary. He writes poetry about people's fathers hoping for cancer so they could die and no longer be connected to their children. Bossman feeds people their pet dog. He stole the Million Dollar Championship, brutalized a prisoner, was lynched by the Undertaker, and fought inside the Kennel from Hell. These two lunatics go one-on-one for the prestigious right of being named the biggest menace to society.

The most dangerous sleeper in the business versus a trip to Larryland.

YOSHIHIKO vs Lance Storm vs TAKA Michinoku, Triple Threat

$10,000, 10 minute time limit Challenge Match: Colin Delaney v. John Tolos

The backstory: When Tolos lost the US Title to Marc Mero, a very excited young fan was seen celebrating in the crowd with Mero. After Tolos lost in a rematch, he berated the fan and a week later he pulled Delaney out of the crowd and beat him up. When he found out Delaney was training to be a wrestler, Tolos put up $10,000 and said Delaney could not last 10 minutes in the ring with him.

The match: Total garbage match that featured Steve O and Pontius taking big bumps from Umaga. Match comes to an end on arena floor by the entrance ramp. Pontius commandeered a forklift and rammed Umaga with it. Morrus, Umaga and Steve O fight on the fork lift as Pontius raises it up. Umaga then throws Steve O off of it onto the floor. Then Morrus throws Umaga into a dumpster and finishes him after a moonsault into the dumpster. WINNER: Hugh Morrus

#1 Contender Match: Dan Kroffat & Doug Furnas v. Hiroshi Hase & Kensuke Sasaki w/Sonny Onoo

The backstory: Hase & Sasaki were awarded a tag title shot against Stevens & Kowalski due to Sonny Onoo bringing Stan Hansen to the AWF. Beer Money Inc, who were due the shot, took out Nathan Jones and threatened to do the same to Callis unless he kept them in the title match. Thus he made this a #1 contender match.

The match: A 10-15 minute match that was stiff shot and power moves. Finish occurs when Hase in pinned by Kroffat after a Super DDT combo. WINNERS: Kroffat & Furnas

Magnum T.A. v. Batista

The backstory: Dick heel Batista starts to reveal himself, he is jealous of Magnum’s popularity, is tired of doing Make-A-Wish engagements.

In the match Batista walks out on Magnum.

The Match: A twenty minute back and forth affair. The finish saw a double pin with Kowalski pinning Bobby Roode and James Storm pinning Ray Stevens. Since Kowalski and Storm were both legal men, both their falls count. Roode and Storm begged the ref for the match to continue to no avail. RESULT: Double Pin: Stevens & Kowalski retain the championships. After the match Roode & Storm hit Stevens with the DWI and leave with the belts.

AWF World Championship: Sting © v. Stan Hansen

Backstory: Don Callis did not feel Sting was the face that the AWF wanted as their champion, but after throwing challenger after challenger after him he got desparate and paid Sonny Onoo to bring Hansen over from Japan. Hansen showed his gratitude by beating up Sonny Onoo his first night in the AWF.

The Match: Sting gets beaten down most of the match (like Sting-Vader from GAB ’92). Sting mounts a comeback and has Hansen tapping to the Scorpion Death Lock, but the referee was distracted by Batista, who was up on the apron. Sting lets go to yell at Batista and that gives Hansen enough time to hit Sting with the Lariat for the pin. WINNER and NEW AWF World Champion: Stan Hansen
 
Right, my card won't win as I tried to do a UK vs Overseas invasion but there's not as much UK talent around as I imagined, but lets see what I can do.
 
I'll be out of town today and most of tomorrow but I'll have my card up sometime during the TNA PPV tomorrow night. Just working out a couple of kinks in the undercard.
 
Back Story: The UKPW is an UK based promotion with only two foreign stars, Takeshi Morishima and Justin Gabriel. However, there has been an invasion of international supertalent led by.. Jerry Springer? Yes, after his flirtation with WWE, the loudmouth decided he wanted to run his own promotion, so he has bought as much talent as he can to the UK to take over.

Springer challenged Sir Jimmy to a series of matches of his guys vs your guys. And in that is a special match between the two where the winner gets control of the company. Saville accepts!

Which leads us to..


The UKPW comes to you live from Wembley Stadium.

Ticket information:
No further tickets available.

Results written partly by The Dames and Adam.

Dark Match: Reports say Justin Gabriel defeated Wild Fire Tommy Rich but I can't confirm as I couldn't get into the stadium in time. It's pandamonium here!

Your commentators are God and Wade Barrett.

Interview segment: Jimmy Saville is in the ring but is interupted by Jerry Springer, flanked by Team Mexico. Springer promises victory later and that his international stars will steamroll the UK guys and take over. Saville invites Springer to the ring but he declines.

War Games

Hector, Mando, Chavo Guerrero and Los Conquistadores
vs
The United Nations (Drew McIntyre, David Hart Smith, Johnny Saint, Mason Ryan and Paul Burchill (w/ Katie Lea Burchill)

Match Background: The UK team will take on Team Mexico in a War Games matchup.

The Match: Chavo snap suplexes David Hart Smith HARD to the canvas! And again! A pair of clotheslines follow and...yep, Chavo is a HOUSE...EN...FUEGO~! Tiger bomb by Conquistadore 1, which is nowhere near as cool as a botched Pedigree but gets the job done. Burchill throws Chavo into the cage. Saint and Ryan whip Hector into the corner. Rude Awakening neckbreaker on Chavo by Ryan. Remember when that was a legit finish? Burchill walks into a side slam. Think about how much talent it takes to side slam someone. Nash can do it. Death valley driver by McIntyre! No one executes that move properly anymore. Chavo spins Burchill around. Chavo hits the Chavo Express! It looks like Burchill has been knocked out cold, and the referee is stopping the match as a result!

My Opinion: It was close to a ** match, but I just can't stand too many blown spots. *3/4

Backstage, a crowd is forming around Finlay, who has been knocked unconscious and left down and out. Paramedics come over to help, although nobody seems to know who was responsible for the attack.

The Naturals are backstage. They put themselves over, talking about how great they are and the usual jazz.

Abyss vs Finlay.

Match Background: This will be a hardcore bout.

The Match: Abyss hits a piledriver on Finlay. That used to end matches, you know. Finlay can barely stand. Shock Treatment!!! That shook the ring. 1....2....3!!

My Opinion: I'll give a 1\2* rating because they were actually able to hit a couple of spots.

Geni Kiniski is backstage. He was laying a verbal Smackdown on Big Daddy.

Les Thatcher and Mick McManus vs The Naturals

Match Background: The two grizzled veterans vs the cocky young Americans.

The Match: Back heel kicks from Thatcher on both Naturals. Mick McManus has Chase Stevens down on the canvas. Stevens gets locked in the Texas Cloverleaf. Submission victory! They weren't getting paid by the hour!

Jerry Springer vs Sir Jimmy Saville

The Match: Three minute match with Saville taking a beating but coming back to hit a modified Stone Cold Stunner
. He kicks Springer out of the ring as he's draped in an English flag. He keeps control of the company!

Wade Barrett vs Pedro Morales.

Match Background: This will be a submission bout.

The Match: Morales hits a HARD spinning kick to the jaw. Second rope flying axe handle, Barrett goes down. One day, Morales might even consider coming off the top with that. You know...for more impact and stuff. Hard back suplex on Barrett. Come to think of it, that move had WAY too much power in No Mercy for N64. Barrett blocks a kick from Morales. Spear by Barrett. Morales is able to duck a clothesline attempt and connect with a counter clothesline. SUPER frankensteiner on Barrett, who hit hard and is loopy as a result. Tor-NADO DDT from Morales, Barrett got planted! Morales goes for a splash but Barrett puts the knees up. Barrett scoops and slams Morales. What's the difference between a scoop slam and a body slam anyway? Morales avoids a Barrett avalanche by getting out of the damn way! Morales hits a rolling kick on Barrett. Konnan has ruined any chance for me ever enjoying this maneuver again with his shitty execution of it. Morales floors Barrett and locks in a STF! Barrett submits to the pain!

Nigel McGuinness is backstage. He was out there to hype a match against Misawa. Good way to get the fans interested in what is coming up.

Mr Kennedy vs Ricky Hatton.

Match Background: This will be a first blood bout.

The Match: Hatton receives some punishment by Kennedy but with that horrid offense, we're the only ones truly being punished. Kennedy hits a right hand on Hatton. Weak bodyslam on Hatton by Kennedy sets up a legdrop. Kennedy walks into a drop toe hold. Massive backbreaker on Kennedy and I get happy flashbacks to Bret Hart's Five Moves of DOOM. Kennedy flips out of a Hatton bodyslam attempt. Kennedy hits a piledriver on Hatton. I know I wouldn't let someone that bad give me a piledriver. Side suplex from Kennedy. Hatton counters a sleeper with a jaw breaker and is able to get free! Hatton hits a right hand. Kennedy kicks Hatton in the gut to reverse the momentum. Kennedy with a badly-executed spinning neckbreaker on Hatton. One more performed that badly and this match will end on a bad note, if you get my drift. Kennedy picks up a chair. Hatton turns around...and gets smashed over the head with it! The referee sees blood, and this match is over!

My Opinion: You barely escaped a DUD rating. 1/4*.

A video is played, hyping the upcoming William Regal vs Bryan Danielson match.

The British Invasion vs The Headbangers

Match Background: This is a tag-team match. The hated British Invasion STILL can't get cheered in their home country and their opponents, The Headbangers, are not making it easy for them the fans in England love these guys!

The Match: Hard back suplex on Mosh. Come to think of it, that move had WAY too much power in No Mercy for N64. Magnus tries to channel the power of Kawada, but ends up channeling the power of Trish Stratus instead by hitting a high kick on Thrasher. It's a MAD HOUSE in the ring as all four workers are going at it!! The referee can't seem to do anything to stop it and gets shoved away. The referee turns and calls for the bell. The referee's had enough, and has called this a double DQ.

My Opinion: These guys worked SO HARD...for a ** rating. Something went wrong somewhere, didn't it?

Bryan Danielson vs William Regal.

Match Background: This will be an iron man bout.

The Match: FIRST FALL: Flying shoulder tackle by Regal sends Danielson CRASHING to the mat. Massive backbreaker on Danielson and I get happy flashbacks to Bret Hart's Five Moves of DOOM. Covers for a quick two count. Danielson backdrops Regal out of a piledriver attempt. That took a lot out of Bryan Danielson. Danielson hits a HARD spinning kick to the jaw. Danielson hits a dropkick on Regal and gets right back up. Hooks the leg for a two count. DDT from the top rope by Bryan Danielson. That looked KILLER. Pinfall attempt: ONE...TWO...NO! I would have bought that as the finish! Flying elbow from Bryan Danielson connects. Regal counters an arm wringer with an elbow to the side of the head. Massive backbreaker on Danielson and I get happy flashbacks to Bret Hart's Five Moves of DOOM. Covers for a quick two count. Brutal sit out powerbomb on Danielson! Pinfall attempt: ONE...TWO...NO! Running knee lift from Regal. Danielson is a glutton for punishment and just continues to take it during this match. Danielson blocks a punch. Second rope flying axe handle, Regal goes down. One day, Danielson might even consider coming off the top with that. You know...for more impact and stuff. Tiger suplex on Regal. No Misawa references from me, I swear. Oh, dammit. Cover gets three for Bryan Danielson, Regal got pinned. SECOND FALL: Bryan Danielson strikes Regal. STIFF high kick on Regal by Bryan Danielson. Danielson uses a basement dropkick to the knee and it looks like it might be TIME TO GO TO SCHOOL~! Bryan Danielson hits a rolling kick on Regal. Konnan has ruined any chance for me ever enjoying this maneuver again with his shitty execution of it. Regal counters a sleeper with a jaw breaker and is able to get free! Bodyslam by Regal. Regal hits a bulldog off the ropes. There's a two count on the pin. Danielson reverses a Regal hammerlock. Danielson crushes Regal with a huge legdrop. Hooks the leg for a two count.

Danielson drops an elbow...but Regal moves out of the way. STIFF~! chop lights up Danielson who covers up to try and stop the agonizing PAIN! The ref is bumped, as goes down after accidentally getting caught by an elbow to the face. DEATH VALLEY DRIVAH~! by Regal just KILLS Bryan Danielson! Hooks the leg, but the referee is still out! Bryan Danielson elbows Regal in the face to break a hammerlock. THERE IT IS! A legdrop to the BACK OF THE HEAD! I swear, that makes any match just a little bit better. I don't mind telling you that every time I see it, that's for sure. Flying cross body off the top rope! There's a two count on the pin. Tiger suplex on Regal. No Misawa references from me, I swear. Oh, dammit. Cover, ONE...TWO...NO! I honestly thought that match was going to end right then and there. Regal powers out of a headlock. Danielson walks into a side slam. Think about how much talent it takes to side slam someone. Nash can do it. Cover, ONE...TWO...NO! I honestly thought that match was going to end right then and there. Bryan Danielson reverses a hip toss. Regal can barely stand. Here it comes - Tombstone!! 1....2...3, it's finished. END OF BOUT.

My Opinion: Standing ovation even as their hero is beaten.

*****

The British Bulldog is backstage with Jimmy Saville, who tells him that the only way he will be allowed to compete without medical clearance is if he signs a waiver, clearing the promotion of any responsibility should he get seriously injured. Davey agrees, and signs the document.

Big Daddy vs Gene Kiniski.

Match Background: This will be a last man standing bout.

The Match: Big Daddy smashes a Playstation console over the head of Kiniski. Should have used an X-Box, they're much bigger. Spinebuster by Big Daddy.

Kiniski pushes out of a Big Daddy hold. Flying elbow from Kiniski connects. Springboard dropkick from Kiniski. Nicely done. Kiniski sets Big Daddy up in the corner. He smacked him with a horse! Perfectly executed! The referee counts to 10, this match is over!

My Opinion: When I give out 3/4*, it means that I'm being REALLY nice about it.

Mitsuharu Misawa vs Nigel McGuiness

The match: With the rest of the talent on show, it was possibly surprising that this was the match of the night but it was. Very hard hitting and it was ended when McGuiness hit the Tower Of London to finish Misawa off which was very impressive. Fans were respectful of both men and they shook hands afterwards. Can I see a rematch please?

Note: Sorry for the review. Dames missed this one, he mistakenly heard a fan during the last match say 'Wouldn't it be awesome to see Big Daddy hit a tarantula' and Dames thought there was a spider present.

Main Event: World Heavyweight Championship

Takeshi Morishima (c) vs. The British Bulldog

For 18 months Morishima has dominated everybody that has come into his path. Nobody has been able to beat the Japanese tough man and most can't knock him off his feet. But tonight he faces his biggest challenge as the hometown hero The British Bulldog returns to face his greatest challenge. With 90,000 fans in his corner can Davey Boy bring the title back to his proud home country?

Match Background: This match is for the World Heavyweight Championship.

The Match: Bulldog charges into the corner, but EATS BOOT and staggers backward. Spinebuster by Morishima. Covers for a quick two count. Bulldog backdrops Morishima out of a piledriver attempt.

Back heel kick off the second rope, Morishima goes down. Cover, ONE...TWO...NO! I honestly thought that match was going to end right then and there. THERE IT IS! A legdrop to the BACK OF THE HEAD! I swear, that makes any match just a little bit better. I don't mind telling you that every time I see it, that's for sure. Bulldog gets taken down out of nowhere! Nice piledriver on Bulldog. Hooks the leg for a two count. Spear! Bulldog is down! Pinfall attempt: ONE...TWO...NO! BAAACK Body drop by Bulldog gets a bit of a pop from the crowd.

DCH CARD PART 2


Playboy Bunny Championship Match: Royal Lingerie Pillow Rumble - Sable(c) vs Torrie Wilson vs Candice Michelle vs Lacey Von Erich vs Christy Hemme vs Leticia Cline

Background History: For 3 long years, Sable was the undisputed queen of the UWC Women's division. Any defeats were short lived, as Sable quickly avenged her losses en route to becoming a 5 time Women's Champion. That all changed with Alundra Blayze's entry into the division, a skilled wrestler with less time for Playboy photoshoots and more for training and conditioning. She quickly accounted for Sable in brutal fashion, executing a hatchet job on the champion. With similarly skilled opponents now on the horizon, Sable took her case for two women's divisions to Tony Atlas, who created the Playboy Bunny Championship in response. This secondary title, initially awarded to Sable, offers a chance to women in the division to become accustomed to wrestling, participate in simpler matches and quite simply, act as eyecandy. The Royal Lingerie Pillow Rumble is a cross between a Lingerie Pillow Fight and the Royal Rumble - A gigantic bed is erected in the centre of the ring and all competitors are in their lingerie with many pillows available as legal weapons. Two women will start the match, and at 1 minute intervals a new entrant will enter the match. You are eliminated if you are thrown over the top rope, with the last woman remaining the undisputed Playboy Bunny Champion. All women in this match have previously posed for Playboy, bar Lacey, who is just happy to be there.

Play by Play: Having eliminated Leticia Cline, Torrie Wilson turns around to eat a pillow to the face, stunning her temporarily. Sable then picks up a stiletto from the bed and rocks Wilson on the temple with it , following up with a BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK body drop over the top rope to remain the undisputed Playboy Bunny Champion at 18:23. She then celebrates with a obligatory strip tease, delighting the Toronto crowd.

Result: Sable def. Torrie Wilson at 18:23 to retain the Playboy Bunny Championship


No.1 Heavyweight Contender Mirrors Match: "Dashing" Cody Rhodes vs "Perfection" Dolph Ziggler w/ David Hasselhoff

Background History: This is a grudge match between the two most narcissistic men on the UWC roster. Former UWC Heavyweight Champion and fashion guru Cody Rhodes was forced to relinquish his title after Dolph Ziggler threw him into his virtual titantron mirror, sidelining Rhodes for 3 months. Upon his return, Rhodes returned the favour, slamming a small bathroom mirror into Ziggler's back as he was demonstrating handstanding to long time fan David Hasselhoff in the locker room, admiring himself. Both men believe they deserve an opportunity at the World Heavyweight Title, Ziggler having built a substantial resume of wins during Rhodes' absence with The Hoff firmly in his corner. Tonight, at Skydome Superstars X, they will get an chance to earn that right, with a Mirrors Match to determine the new No.1 Contender for the World Heavyweight Title. Mirrors of all shapes and sizes will be placed around the ring, perfectly legal as weapons in a match where both men are guaranteed to end soaked in blood. A Heavyweight title shot awaits the winner, if either man is able to tear their eyes away from their own reflections.

Play by Play: Stunned by the Hoff's betrayal, Ziggler is caught unaware as he turns around to eat a boot to the midsection followed by a CrossRhodes on the 6 foot tall mirror he set up, resulting in Cody getting the pin at 26:39 in this fantastic and bloody match.

Result: Cody Rhodes def Dolph Ziggler via pinfall at 26:39 to become the new No.1 Contender for the World Heavyweight Championship.

World Lightweight Championship Match: Billy Kidman(c) vs Christopher Daniels

Background History: Billy Kidman is a former UWC timekeeper who specialised in having Ultimate Friday Fights running 15 minutes overtime, drawing the ire of UWC President Tony Atlas. As a punishment, he threw Kidman into the deep end, a 15 minute timed match with the gigantic Matt Morgan. Kidman not only survived the 15 minutes, he came close to a victory, with his quick pace and devastating Shooting Star Press surprising Morgan and Atlas alike. Having won the Lightweight title from a former UWC wrestler a few months ago, Kidman meets one of his toughest challenges to date, the former World Tag Team Champion and Lightweight Champion "Fallen Angel" Christopher Daniels. The Shooting Star Press and The Best Moonsault Ever will collide tonight at Skydome Superstars X, but only one will leave with the gold.

Play by Play: With Daniels down and out for the count, Kidman heads to the top rope and attempts an SSP, but lands awkwardly on his knee as he misses the Fallen Angel. Daniels is slow to recover, and both men groggily rise to their feet. After a few Kidman chops, Daniels dropkicks the injured knee of Kidman and chop blocks him, leaving the Lightweight Champ reeling on the canvas. Daniels finishes the deal with the Angel's Wings followed by the Best Moonsault Ever for the pin and the title at 24:28.

Result: Christopher Daniels def. Billy Kidman via pinfall to become the new World Lightweight Champion at 24:28.

World Heavyweight Championship Ladder Match: Christian (c) vs Chris Jericho

Background History: The two top heavyweights of the UWC, Christian and Chris Jericho, have been bitter rivals since they split as team after losing the World Tag Team Championship. Both have gone on to carve out successful singles careers, with Christian winning the World Heavyweight title back in March following Cody Rhodes' injury. Christian has continued to make a name for himself at the top of the food chain, smartly bringing referee Charles Robinson onto his side, with Lil Naitch tipping the balance in his favour in his title defenses. He has one last opponent to defeat in the UWC before he is the undisputed king of the promotion, and that is Ultimate Friday Jericho, his charismatic former teammate who established himself as the number one contender by knocking over Alberto Del Rio with a fantastic submission. Both men are Ladder Match specialists, with their agile skillsets proving very successful in these environment. Tonight, on Skydome Superstars X in the champion's home town, will Christian hit the Killswitch on Jericho's title hopes, or will the Liontamer result in a new World Heavyweight Champion rising to the top?

Play by Play: Having hit Christian with the Codebreaker, Jericho looks certain to win the title. But the challenger doesn't seem to be done yet, dragging a ladder across Christian's torso. Jericho attempts a Lionsault, but Christian throws the ladder up, catching Jericho flush in the midsection mid jump. Christian then pulls the Killswitch on Jericho facefirst onto that ladder, and ascends the one set up in the middle of the ring to grab the title in front of his home crowd for the win as Don West creams himself on commentary, Ricardo jumps up and down and Tony Atlas laughs and applauds with confetti streaming from the roof of the Skydome. The crowd goes absolutely bezerk with euphoria, and the heel Playboy Bunnies swarm the ring to congratulate Christian with a kiss on the cheek as he grins and winks as the screen fades to black with Just Close Your Eyes(SotY version) belting in the arena with Vinny Mac wishing us a happy summer vacation. Thanks for watching everybody!

Result: Christian def. Chris Jericho at 29:28 to retain the World Heavyweight Championship.


I have written the finishes to all the matches, I'll write the full play by play as soon as I can. I'm really sorry for this being in two halves like this, but I didn't realise how big my post really was.
 
CALIFORNIA REPUBLIC WRESTLING PRESENTS
The Big One

February 19th at the Cow Palace, Daly City, CA

Commissioner: Bob Saget
English Commentary: Josh Mathews (face PBP), Paul Heyman (heel color), Excalibur (sarcastic color)
Spanish Commentary: Hugo Savinovich and Carlos Cabrera (I have no idea who’s doing what. No hablo.)
Ring Announcer: Michael Buffer
Senior Official: Bryce Remsburg

MARTY JANNETTY vs. SHINSUKE NAKAMURA

A wild match to start off the show. You have two great sellers, and it only helps that Nakamura has such a high-impact style and perpetual underdog Marty Jannetty is out for revenge. All the while Heyman is shilling his client like crazy, assuring the home audience that Nakamura is the future of CRW. A stiff right from Nakamura knocks Jannetty loopy, suggesting he might be suffering from yet another concussion. Nakamura has him outside, using the guardrail to pull himself up. Nakamura sets up for a Boma Ye, but Jannetty dodges and Nakamura’s knee slams into the steel, sending Heyman into a conniption fit, calling Jannetty a con artist for tricking Nakamura like that. Jannetty takes over, hits Nakamura with the Rocker Dropper not once, but twice, and evens the score with Nakamura.

PERRO AGUAYO Y PERRO AGUAYO, JR. vs. THE WEST HOLLYWOOD BLONDES vs. THE YOUNG BUCKS vs. THE NEW NEW ROCKERS (FOUR CORNERS ELIMINATION TAG MATCH)

Before the bell even rings, people start flying all over in a cruiser melee with each team getting a big spot before the “two men in the ring” norm is finally established. The New New Rockers and the Blondes isolate Nick Jackson from the face corners and work him over a good while. Finally, as Lodi is kicking him around, Nick has the bright idea to scramble and tag in Al Snow. Lodi cowers, but gets beat down by Snow. The wily vet Perro Aguayo, Sr. clocks Snow from behind, effectively tagging himself in, climbs the turnbuckle, and hits a supine Lodi with a diving double foot stomp and scores the pin, eliminating the West Hollywood Blondes. Al Snow gets ready to attack, but Jimmy Jacobs tags himself in. The much younger Jacobs tears into Aguayo with an aggression that even begins to scare Snow. Snow starts calling for the tag, and an annoyed Jacobs gives it to him in the form of throwing him into the ring, DDTing him, and applying End Times before the ref pries him off. Aguayo, Sr. crawls over and makes the pin, officially eliminating the New New Rockers. Matt Jackson is in, but does the face thing by allowing Sr. to tag out. Matt and Jr. have a mini face vs. face match (as Sr. and Nick recover from their beatdowns) before taking each other out, leading to a double hot tag. People start flying everywhere again and somehow it leads to Sr. taking More Bang for Your Buck.

Suddenly, a strange song plays, with chants of “K! O! W!,” as two men come down the aisle. Heyman immediately identifies them as Chris Hero and Claudio Castagnoli. Hero takes out Matt Jackson with a Cyclone Kill as Claudio nails Nick with the Swiss Death. We know this because Heyman is explaining the names of the moves. Aguayo, Jr. runs in to make the save, but Hero and Claudio attack him and soon lay him out with a KRS-ONE. Heyman takes off his headset, grabs a mic and introduces everybody to his new clients, Chris Hero and Claudio Castagnoli, the Kings of Wrestling.

EBESSAN EBEDUST vs. SANTINO MARELLA vs. ERNEST “The Cat” MILLER vs. DELIRIOUS

Something to lighten things up after that ending. It’s pretty much wall-to-wall gag spots. It’s silly to try to write out theoretical descriptions of physical comedy. Ebedust (that is, Ebessan dressed as Goldust, not Goldust dressed as Ebessan), Santino, and Delirious run through their usual comedy spots (plus a few new ones) while the Cat dances amidst the chaos. So yes, the match is scored to “Somebody Call My Momma” on a loop. Lots of Three Stooges-esque moments since three of them are doing the actual work. Throw in the Goldust impersonation and there’s something to make everybody laugh. So here’s where I ruin all that by trying to explain the finish: Delirious sets up to do the Banana Phone into the small package on Santino while Santino sets up to do the Cobra on Delirious. Santino hits the Cobra on Delirious, senses Ebedust behind him, spins around to Cobra him as well...but Ebedust starts caressing his chest and blowing kisses at the Cobra. The Cobra is frozen in terror! Sensing the opportunity, Ebedust grabs the Cobra and uses it on Santino. And then Miller hits Ebedust with a superkick, makes the pin, and keeps on dancing.

NEW AGE OUTLAWS © vs. BORN THIS WAY (CRW TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP DUMPSTER MATCH)

The champs enter first. “Oh, you didn’t know? Your ass better calllll....wait, wait. We’re in San Francisco and we know what you people do with your asses and the CRW Tag Team Champions of the Worrrrlllld -- “Road Dogg” Jesse James, “Bad Ass” Billy Gunn -- the NEW. AGE. OUTLAWWWWWWSSS do not swing that way and we’re here to tell you that it does NOT get better!”

Out come Born This Way, debuting matching gold-and-pink ring gear. Patterson’s brought back his old loaded mask. It and Goldust’s makeup have a Lady Gaga-esque (and by that I mean David Bowie-esque) lightning bolt. This prompts Josh Mathews to call Goldust “Gagadust,” which prompts Excalibur to call Josh a tool.

The four do what they’re all best at: brawl. The Outlaws take control when they’re the first to grab weaponry. People start bleeding. The face comeback is capped off with double Shattered Dreams and Born this Way tossing Road Dogg over the top and into the dumpster. Gunn clotheslines both of them from behind. Patterson splats on the apron, but Goldust lands on Road Dogg in the dumpster. Gunn and Patterson slug it out before Patterson blasts Gunn with a loaded headbutt. Gunn’s sent reeling; Patterson grabs him and nails a modified atomic drop onto the rim of the dumpster. Gunn falls in, Goldust gets out (kicking James and Billy along the way), and Born This Way shut and lock the dumpster. They raise their new belts into the air and celebrate in the crowd.

MELINA (with FREDDY PRINZE, JR.) vs. ODB

Tried to make a bathroom/smoke/snack break while they cleaned up after the last match but didn’t make it back in time for the next match? It’s OK; this match is here on the card for that very reason (that and so I can pretend that CRW has an actual women’s division despite only actually drafting four of them). In any case, it’s a quick-paced, fun little match that ends after Freddy Prinze distracts the ref by offering him a signed DVD of She’s All That. Melina goes for a chairshot, but ODB dodges and Melina takes out Prinze instead. ODB with a spear followed by a TKO and she picks up the deuce.

MISTICO vs. BLUE DEMON (MASCARA CONTRA MASCARA)

It’s a classic lucha match: lots of high flying action as the brutish rudo tries to keep down the exciting tecnico. These two have faced each other countless times in CRW, so they know each other quite well, so each has a counter for the other’s signature moves, with the Blue Demon knowing how to cut Mistico off whenever he seems to be going for La Mistica. There are lots of nearfalls as the audience grows less and less certain who will be unmasked tonight. Neither man seems willing to quit. It finally takes a surprise La Mistica after Mistico breaks free from an attempted octopus hold to end things. In defeat, the long-hated Blue Demon is surprisingly solemn, showing respect to his long-time rival. When Blue Demon is forced to reveal the face of Alejandro Muñoz Moreno, he does so nobly. He bows his head to Mistico and asks to shake the hand of the man who defeated the legend Blue Demon. Mistico seems surprised, but agrees, showing a new-found bond amongst the two men that just had a blood feud.

MEGUMI KUDO vs. SARA DEL REY (WOMEN’S BARBED WIRE DEATH MATCH)

Speaking of blood... As Excalibur puts it, “feminism at its finest.” These two prove that women can bleed just as well as any man can. The match starts off with stiff exchanges of strikes and suplexes, but eventually becomes about who can better force the other into the barbed wire replacing the ring ropes, with lots of teases as both women are often just this close to sending the other into the flesh-ripping steel, making those moments when one of the women actually does get knocked into the wire. For example, note the spot where Del Rey locks Kudo in the Royal Butterfly and starts barrelling toward the wire, looking to tear Kudome’s lady parts into ribbons, only for Kudo to reverse it into a backdrop onto the barbs. Or when Kudo had Del Rey in the dragon sleeper, forcing Del Rey to go for the rope break and all that entails. After tearing each other to shreds, the blood-soaked women slug it out in desperation. Del Rey’s in a daze, Kudo with the Kudome Valentine...Kudome collapses face-first with Del Rey on top of her! Blood loss clearly having taken a toll on her opponent, Del Rey opportunistically picks up the victory and both women receive immediate medical attention.

AUSTIN ARIES © vs. JUSHIN "Thunder" LIGER (CRW CHAMPIONSHIP LADDER MATCH)

After Liger comes out to one of the greatest entrance themes of all time, Aries comes out to explain some things. He’s noticed that he’s developed something of a following; while most of the audience seems to hate Aries’ guts, there’s an increasing portion that cheer him on. Aries was flattered, maybe a little curious, but then he realized who was cheering him. It was all the guys with crappy facial hair and their CM Punk shirts and their insider chants. Aries accuses his entire fanbase of being nothing more than wrestling hipsters and refuses to be associated with them.

As for the match, both men fall back on their skills and experience. Liger is arguably the greatest junior heavyweight in history, so his speed and agility plays perfectly in the match. Meanwhile, Aries is no slouch in that department either. Not only that, but he came through the 21st century American indie circuit, so he’s built his share of elaborate structures out of ladders, meaning he and Liger have all sorts of things to jump off of and onto. But more importantly, Austin Aries is a consummate heel, and and a match with no disqualifications means he can bite, poke, low blow, and use any other sneaky tactics until the cows come home. As impressively as Liger may be performing, A-Double eventually finds a heelish way to cut off his momentum. Even when Aries counters a Shooting Star Press off the ladder, he does so with a knee to the dick. Eventually, the match comes down to both men trading rights atop a ladder. Finally, Aries twists Liger’s mask, obstructing the challenger’s vision. Aries grabs hold of the belt, but Liger rips off his mask and spits a strange green mist into Aries’ eyes! A wild-eyed, striped-faced Liger shoves a blinded Aries off the ladder and unlatches the belt to become the CRW Champion.

THE UNDERTAKER vs. SAMOA JOE

Joe enters first, seemingly impervious to the jeers and “RIP JOE” signs. When Josh notes that Heyman’s clients have thus far gone 1-1 tonight, Heyman tries to argue that because the Kings of Wrestling took out three men upon their debut, he’s actually 4-1.

Before Josh can argue Heyman’s logic, a bell tolls. A recap of Undertaker’s previous opponents at The Big One plays before ending with Joe and today’s date. Smoke blankets the Cow Palace crowd as a procession of druids comes down the aisle, accompanied by the Undertaker’s music. Finally, the man himself appears. The brim of his hat and the hem of his duster both pointed at the ground, the Undertaker soaks in the applause for what seems like an eternity before solemnly making his way to the ring. When he finally makes it the the ring, he coldly looks Joe in the eyes and coldly gives him the cut-throat gesture.

This, of course, prompts Joe to start things early with a brutal series of chops. And so begins a grueling, physical match. Joe shovels out offense that would kill a normal man and ‘Taker keeps coming like the Terminator. The Undertaker puts Joe at a rare size advantage and forces him to bump for a change. But Joe’s younger, faster, and the more accomplished technician, so he does an impressive job dodging, blocking, reversing, and slipping out of the Phenom’s path of destruction. Not very many people could avoid getting chokeslammed through the Spanish announcer’s table by kicking the hell out of ‘Taker, but very few of those people could immediately float that into a cross armbreaker. It’s a back-and-forth match with neither man showing signs of surrender.

Clearly, after more than twenty minutes of this, Paul Heyman is ready to fucking crack. Knowing that a win here could do for his ace client, he sees Undertaker calling for the Tombstone and throws off his headset. He rolls into the ring, for the first time going beyond being really obnoxious about hyping his clients to actually helping them win matches. The Undertaker sees Heyman and immediately goozles him. ‘Taker hoists him into the air, choking him so hard his ponytail might pop off. Joe hits a chop block and locks in the rear naked choke! He may be the “Samoan Submission Machine,” but he can’t really be expecting the Undertaker to tap out, can he? And the Undertaker shows no signs of doing so. He fights for the ropes, even as Joe applies the bodyscissors. When ‘Taker’s about to grab the ropes, Joe rolls him back to the center of the ring. When ‘Taker rolls with it to get closer to the opposite ropes, Joe rolls him back to the center yet again. Undertaker starts throwing ‘bows, but Joe’s grip remains fast. He reverses it into a pin, but Joe’s able to kick out while keeping the choke held. As much as the Undertaker tries to find a way out of the choke, Joe is relentless. Meanwhile, the Undertaker seems less so. His struggles grow slower, less vivacious. Once the Dead Man’s movements slow to a standstill, Senior Official Bryce Remsburg has the unenviable task of checking for a knockout. The hand goes up once, it drops. Twice, it drops. Third time, ‘Taker does the dramatic sit-up! Oh, once everybody pops, Joe yanks him back down. Undertaker fights some more, tries some other ways to break the hold, but eventually Bryce has to check again. This time, the Undertaker’s hand drops the third time. Nakamura, Hero, and Castagnoli come out to escort Joe and Heyman to the back as there are a lot of unhappy people in the Cow Palace tonight.
 
NEW ENGLAND WRESTLING ENTERTAINMENT REVOLUTION (Or NEWER for short)
Presents: PATRIOT(S) GAMES


NEW ENGLAND HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP
JOHN CENA (c) VS. MR. PERFECT

John Cena is a lot of things. Charismatic. Controversial. Corny. But, one thing he isn't is Perfect. John Cena may be the biggest star in NEWER and holder of the New England Heavyweight Championship, but Mr. Perfect has made it clear, he believes Cena is an imperfect wrestler. Perfect has been critiquing Cena's status as Heavyweight Champion for months and made no secret of his belief that he would be a much more deserving holder of the title. However, up until recently, any physical confrontation has ended the same way: with Hennig running away from a fight. Preferring to prove his point in competition rather than unsanctioned fights, Perfect finally made his case, by pinning Cena with the Perfect Plex in a tag team match to earn a shot at the belt and the chance to become "the perfect champion".

NO HOLDS BARRED
SHEAMUS VS. NIKITA KOLOFF

The two meanest men in New England have been at war for months. Sheamus, the popular Irishman, stood up against the foreign Commie threat of the Russian Nightmare and battle has waged since. Regular matches have resulted on non-finishes, rules have gone out of the window and buildings haven't been able to contain the fights these two have gotten into. Now with No Holds Barred, the battle of the bulls will have a clear winner.

#1 CONTENDERS MATCH
RAZOR RAMON VS. MASAHIRO CHONO (W/JIMMY HART)

In a battle of the 'bad guys', Japan's most badass man Masahiro Chono looks to continue his run towards the Heavyweight Title, but Razor would love to add more gold to his collection as well. DISCLAIMER: Extra mops will be provided to , to clean up the large quantities of machismo being oozed from these two competitors.

NEWER INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIP
THE HONKY TONK MAN (c) (W/JIMMY HART) VS. "THE POPE" D'ANGELO DINERO

The greatest Intercontinental Champion of all time, The Honky Tonk Man, has been holding off challenges for many months and hanging onto his title by the skin of his teeth. As is the Honky Tonk Man way. His next challenge comes in the form of D'Angelo Dinero, who has been robbed of a seemingly certain victory over the IC Champion before and vows to be the man to finally take the title. Honky is cool, cocky and bad, The Pope will be pimpin and one of them will be Intercontinental Champion.

MATT HARDY VERSION 1.0 (W/MATT PACK) VS. THE 123 KID
Matt Hardy didn't take defeat to the 123 Kid very well, claiming it was a merely fluke when Kid pinned him a few months ago. Since then, Kid has gone through both of Matt's Matt Pack (Shannon Moore and Mike Mondo), looking for a rematch to prove that first victory was no slice of luck. Also, they both have numbers in their name. Isn't that interesting?

NEW ENGLAND TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS
THE COLONS (c) VS. THE FABULOUS ROUGEAU BROTHERS (W/JIMMY HART)

Claiming to be All American Boys, the Fabulous Rougeaus earned a Tag Team Title match and have promised to bring the New England Tag Team Titles back to America. What's that you say? Puerto Rico is a US territory and technically, Carlito and Primo are more American than the Rougeaus? Tell that to Jacques and Raymond. Their insistance on calling the Colons "foreigners" has riled up the champions and now, they must fight.

SIX WOMAN LATE NIGHT CATFIGHT
THE BELLA TWINS AND JILLIAN (W/JAY LENO) VS. EVE, MARIA AND TIFFANY (W/ANDY RICHTER)

The battle for late night supremacy has spilt over into professional wrestling. And what better way to settle it than letting six beautiful Divas tear each other apart? None, I say. Leno's ladies takes on Conan's team of beauties (with Andy Richter as stand-in manager) to determine once and for all who owns Late Night.


PLUS...

BIG DADDY V VS. EZEKIAL JACKSON
Big Daddy V has been a monstrous presence in NEWER (when not being beaten by John Cena, naturally). But maybe he's met his match against the powerful newcomer Zeke.

TOO COOL VS. THE NEW JERSEY DISCO FISTPUMP PARTY SQUAD (ROBBIE E AND THE DISCO INFERNO)
All four of these men share one common interest. A love of dance. Problem is, Robbie E and Disco Inferno don't think Scotty and Grandmaster are quite as cool as their name suggests. And the Disco Fistpumpers want to show the Boston squares what cool really is. Which team has the right moves to pick up a victory?

SHARK BOY AND TUGBOAT VS. "THE MFER" SHANNON MOORE AND "THE MOOREON" MIKE MONDO
The big Tugboat and his nautical mascot, who legend tells Tugboat plucked from the ocean whilst chugging through the harbour and raised as his own child, take on Matt Hardy's Matt Pack,

DERRICK BATEMAN VS. "THE FLAME" JON HEDER (W/JIMMY HART)
That Derrick Bateman, he's a wacky guy. And a connoisseur of comedy. As such, when Jon Heder aka Napoleon Dynamite made an appearance at a NEWER event, Bateman was eager to come out and meet him. Heder's response was to not know who the hell Bateman was and make fun of him for being a dork. Ironic, no? That was bad enough. But the last straw was when Heder insulted Bateman's USA Zubaz pants. Now, Bateman has made a vow to DESTROY Napoleon Dynamite, prompting Heder to seek professional wrestling training and advice from the (other) Hart Family and in particular The Mouth Of The South. This, to me, is worth the price of admission alone.

BARRY HOROWITZ VS. THE BROOKLYN BRAWLER
Two of wrestling's loveable losers open the show. And for once, one of them is going to get a win!​


(All with the amazing commentary tandem of Mike Adamle and Scott Stanford calling the action! Uno, Dos, Adios!)
 
Texas Championship Wrestling - The Sportatorium

TCW World Heavyweight Championship: Terry Funk (c) vs. Eddie Guerrero

In a battle of old school vs. new school, a lot is on the line for the future of the company. Terry Funk has been champ for the past two years, and bursting on the scene is Eddie Guerrero, who has been hot in and out of the ring, causing a rift between fans; those who want change, and the others who prefer tradition. Guerrero not only relies on his great athletic ability but on his slick, sneaky, and crafty shenanigans that have established him as a polarizing figure.

Twenty five minutes into the match, Eddie Guerrero and Terry Funk counter pins, rolling left and right, and getting close falls. Eddie goes for a clothesline but Terry drops him with a drop toe hold. He starts punching him on the ground, gets up then drops an elbow. He picks him up and goes for a piledriver, but Eddie counters and backbody drops him to the outside. Guerrero tries to hit a piledriver on Terry on the outside, but Terry Funk counters with a backbody drop of his own, on the outside. Funk is slow to get up and throws Eddie Guerrero into the ring. He catches his breath for a few seconds before rolling into the ring only to be met with a quick rollup by Eddie Guerrero. Guerrero, faking the effects of the backbody drop, uses his savvy to catch Terry Funk by surprise, getting the three count, capturing the TCW World Heavyweight Championship and changing the course of TCW for the foreseeable future.

TCW United States Championship: Barry Windham vs. Kerry Von Erich - 2 out of 3 falls

Barry Windham has been a hated man since he stole the United States title from Kerry Von Erich after blindsiding him with a steel chair before waking up the referee and getting the pin, a few months ago. A month later, Kerry Von Erich lost his opportunity to re-capture the belt after Barry Windham left the arena during the match out of frustration, taking the countout and the belt with him. The following week, Kerry Von Erich locked the Iron Claw, almost assuring him victory. While the referee was lifting up Barry Windham's arm to determine whether or not he will be able to continue, on the third lift, Barry Windham placed his foot on the bottom rope. His arm dropped, but the referee did not see his foot. Kerry Von Erich celebrated his victory, but a few minutes later the decision was overturned and the belt was vacated. Tonight a new champion will be crowned. In order to prevent another tainted finish, the first of three falls will be a no dq, the second will be a cage match, and the third will be a submission match.

The first fall ends when Kerry Von Erich when for the Discus, which Barry ducked and countered with a Lariat. He grabbed a steel chair, placed it in the middle of the ring. He then grabbed Kerry, set him up on the top rope and superplexed him right on the chair. Barry pins him to go up 1-0. The cage quickly lowered and Barry started climbing up the cage. Kerry regained consciousness and threw him down by grabbing his tights and pulling him to the mat. This fall ends when Barry Windham went for another superplex. This time, Kerry Von Erich breaks it up on the top rope and hits him with a modified quick step Discus Punch, knocking Windham off the top rope and out. Von Erich climbs out of the cage and ties the series at 1-1. The final fall ends when Barry Windham locks in the figure four. In pain, Kerry Von Erich tries pulling Barry Windham closer to him by pulling on his arms. He uses his length to get a hold of one of Barry's arms. Kerry, using both his arms pulls Barry as close as possible, while Barry still has the hold locked in. When he's close enough, Kerry quickly snaps on the Iron Claw. Both men in agony start looking for ways to escape, but Barry couldn't take it anymore and starts tapping on the ground, ending the match, allowing Kerry Von Erich to capture the TCW United States Championship.

TCW Tag Team Championship: Midnight Express (c) vs. Motor City Machine Guns w/Sherri Martel

Sherri Martel is sent to the back after being seen grabbing Bobby Eaton's leg. Twenty minutes in, Chris Sabin is going for a powerbomb on Bobby Eaton, with the ref's back turned to the action, trying to break up the fight outside between Alex Shelley and Stan Lane. From the crowd, Dan Spivey slides into the ring and hits Chris Sabin with a big ass boot to the face. Alex Shelley sees this out of the corner of his eye and follows Dan Spivey into the crowd, forgetting about his partner and leaving him on his own. Eaton climbs up to the top rope, jumps and hits a flying leg drop on Chris Sabin to retain the TCW Tag Team Championship.

The Crusher vs. Dick the Bruiser vs. The Sandman - Tables, Keg, and Beer on a pole match

The stipulation of this match is simple. Four kegs outside the ring, two tables on either side of the ring, and one beer on a pole. In order to win this match, you must put both opponents through a table. When one guy is put through the table, he is eliminated. The metal kegs replace the steel chairs in this match. The beer is for refreshment purposes.

About twelve minutes in, The Crusher is about to powerbomb the Sandman through the table, but as this is happening, Bruiser is climbing up the turnbuckle to grab a refreshment. The Crusher sees this, lets Sandman go and attacks Bruiser. From behind, The Sandman comes in and lays out Crusher with a keg. He then rolls Crusher out the ring, then suplexes him through the table. While this is happening, Bruiser is already drinking the beer, feeling a lot better. But Sandman loses his mind, and pulls a kendo stick from underneath the ring. He starts beating the shit out of Bruiser, rolls him outside, then flapjacks him through the table to win a case of beers.

Mike Awesome vs. Hayabusa

The feud continues and in this match we see high flying impact for a fast paced twelve minutes. The finish sees Mike Awesome going for an Awesome Bomb that Hayabusa counters into a hurricanrana. He tries for another hurricanrana but Awesome catches him, sets him up for the Awesome Bomb and gets the pin.

La Parka vs. Dr. Wagner Jr.

La Parka starts dancing in the middle of the match and Dr. Wagner Jr, offended, hits him with the hardest enziguri you've ever heard. He lifts him up for the Wagner Driver and gets the pin.

TCW Television Championship: D-Lo Brown (c) vs. Chief Jay Strongbow

D-Lo Brown has held the belt for a year and continues his reign after hitting the Lo-Down on Chief Jay Strongbow after an eleven minute contest. After the match, D-Low shakes his head for a few minutes to the delight of the crowd.

Arab vs. USA: Muhammed Hassan vs. Kid Rock - No Holds Barred

The feud has developed since Hassan arrived at TCW. Looking different from anyone else in the Sportatorium, Hassan has had it rough and a lot of people do not like him. Kid Rock looks like a lot of people in the Sportatorium so he became a fan favorite as soon as he played American Bad Ass at last month's show. After a few minutes, the finish sees Kid Rock, desperate, grabbing his guitar from underneath the ring and smashing it over Hassan's head. Cause he's doing it for America, the referee doesn't care, and Kid Rock picks up the win.

Jon Moxley vs. Kevin Von Erich - I Quit Match (Loser Leaves Town)

When Jon Moxley went up against Kevin Von Erich about half a year ago, before the match, he insulted Kevin Von Erich by calling him the son Fritz never wanted. Walking to the ring, Jon actually asked Kerry Von Erich for an autograph. After getting Kerry's signature on a spare pair of boots, he came to the ring with them and placed them at ringside, in front of Kevin. Kevin, being disoriented during the match, kicked the boots away, before rolling back into the ring and being met with the Moxicity, allowing Moxley to get the victory. As soon as the match ended, Moxley cut a promo, upset that Kevin kicked his autographed boots, also detailing a history of the Von Erich's, depicting Kevin as the most useless out of the big three. He then grabbed a steel chair and smacked Kevin with it right before he left.

A week later, Kevin, feeling unwanted and ashamed, decided to retire from wrestling. Moxley entered the ring, and started to laugh and mock Kevin, feeling like he should have done this a while ago. The fans of the Sportatorium pleaded and begged Kevin to come back, but he made up his mind and would leave for good.

A month passed and Jon Moxley won the TCW United States Championship from Kerry Von Erich. He grabbed Kerry's tights to grab the belt. The rematch was set, and during the match the referee was knocked out. Moxley pulled out some brass knuckles and was ready to strike Kerry when Kevin ran in and dropped kicked Moxley down. He grabbed the brass knuckles and struck Moxley right between the eyes. Kerry rolled over Moxley, the ref got up and he won the United States Championship.

Throughout the next month, Moxley begged Kevin to come back so he could teach him a lesson, but Kevin would not respond. Finally, Moxley put up his contract on the line. At the end of the month, Kevin finally responded and accepted the deal.

Twenty minutes into the match, Moxley is hitting Kevin with the chair left and right. They stumble into the crowd, and Moxley goes for one more chair shot but Kevin ducks and Moxley accidentally hits a fan. The fans go crazy and start attacking Moxley. Kevin dives on top of Moxley and starts landing punches on him. Moxley gets up, bloodied and bruised and the fans continue to push him around. Finally, he runs out of the crowd, grabs a mic and quits the company stating that he doesn't want to wrestle in front of rednecks anymore. Von Erich returns to the company and gets a standing ovation.
 
Live from the Mid-South Colliseum...

[size=12pt]Memphis Legendary Wrestling presents MLW War to Settle the Score[/size]

MLW World Championship Main Event
MLW Champion “The Game” Triple H vs. “The American Dream” Dusty Rhodes


Last year, long-time fan favorite Triple H realized he was “that damn good” and decided it no longer mattered what any of the fans thought anymore. He not only turned the fans away, but began turning away competition at every turn.

Enter Dusty Rhodes.

While having conflicting ideologies, Dusty originally stayed away from Triple H out of respect. Since capturing the championship and enforcing his elitist beliefs, Dusty has tried to put on a match that the fans have been clamoring for but had been denied by Triple H at every turn.

If there is one man in MLW on as much of a hot streak as Triple H, Dusty Rhodes is that man and whether Triple H truly believes he is better than the Common Man, or is just plain scared, The King of Kings and The Son of a Plumber will battle for the title at The War to Settle the Score!

Brother versus Brother! Mask versus Mask!
Mil Mascaras vs. Dos Santos


If two of the biggest luchadors engaging in mat warfare wasn’t enough, the stakes are even greater.

These proud brothers have been on the top of the wrestling world but the ego of Mascaras has not allowed him to see his skills are on the decline. The only thing deteriorating more than Mascaras abilities is his relationship with his brother. When Santos tried to bring other members of this famed family to MLW, Mascaras shot it down, not wanting the spotlight off himself. Since then, Mascaras me first attitude has driven a wedge between himself and Santos.

At this time, Dos Santos only knows one way to influence the pride of Mascaras… by challenging his mask!

As if brother versus brother wasn’t big enough, one of these legendary masked grapplers will face the shame of losing their iconic mask!

The Battle of the Sexes
“The Inter-Gender Wrestling Champion of the World” and “Hollywood’s Own” Andy Kaufman vs. Awesome Kong


Andy Kaufman never tires of coming out and telling the people of Memphis how much better he is because he is from Hollywood. For as far back as most fans of MLW can remember, Kaufman has been bringing in “worthy” competition. By defeating women from the crowd and women known in the wrestling world more for their looks than in-ring skills, its no wonder Andy has remained the undefeated and self-proclaimed “Inter-Gender Wrestling Champion of the World”.

Three months ago, Kaufman vowed he would retire if no suitable competition emerged. The following week, as he came out to the ring to give a retirement speech, the party was broken up by the immense Awesome Kong. After not finding any loopholes, Andy faked an injured with the help of Hollywood make-up artists. Once this was discovered by MLW personal, Kaufman was given a one-month warning. The warning being that at War to Settle the Score he would meet face to face with Awesome Kong.

International Elimination Tag Match
Stars and Stripes (Sgt. Slaughter, Sgt. Craig Pittman, Tatanka and Ted DiBiase Jr.) vs. International House of Pain (The Great Khali, Sheik Abdul Bashir, Vladimir Kozlov and Rene Dupree)


After years of dedicating his life to the American way, Sgt. Slaughter decided to hold a patriotic rally to welcome the debut of his friend Sgt. Craig Pittman to MLW. While leading the crowd through the Pledge of Allegiance, some of the foreign talent decided to crash the party. Sheik Abdul Bashir began to terrorize the event but while they were distracted, Vladimir Kozlov and Rene Dupree made sneak attacks to the military veterans.

Bashir, Kozlov and Dupree told Slaughter and Pittman to use their recruiting experience to find some help, as they would need two partners alone just to help the big surprise they had in store. Without any hesitation, Slaughter and Pittman were joined by “The Native American” Tatanka and “The Marine II” Ted DiBiase Jr. The enlistment party was cut short as the team dubbing themselves the International House of Pain revealed the greatest challenge any of these proud Americans have faced in the ring, the 7-foot Punjabi Nightmare, The Great Khali.

At The War to Settle the Score, will America stand tall or will IHOP hurt America’s well-being?

George the Elegant Meets George the Savage in a Mine on a Pole Match
Gorgeous George vs. George “The Animal” Steele


George Steele has charmed his way into the hearts of the MLW audience. Once a feared competitor, a human side was found to George when he found his new best friend, a stuffed toy of unidentifiable species named Mine.

Raising Mine as his own, George has been a responsible nurturer outside the ring and the savage creature destroying the competition inside the ring.

Unable to see his name sullied any further, Gorgeous George began closely watching George Steele’s matches (while using a clothes-pin on his nose, obviously). When the Gorgeous one showed up ringside wearing rubber gloves recently, no one knew his intentions until he snatched Mine.

George, acting like a mother losing his cub, attacked everyone ringside and found himself restricted from several MLW events. During this time, MLW officials retrieved Mine from Gorgeous George, who revealed that dolls should only be played with by pretty little girls, not filthy, disgusting ogres like Steele. In the Gorgeous one’s mind, there is only room for one George, and a beautiful one, in MLW. His only option at ending George Steele will be destroying Mine.

Wanting Mine to no longer be his, Gorgeous George has gotten George Steele committed to a Mine on a Pole match. Will George Steele be able to keep Mine as his imaginary young safe or will Gorgeous George bring Steele and Mine to extinction?

Southern Pride Over the Top Rope Challenge
Jeff Jarrett vs. Austin Idol vs. Dutch Mantell vs. Heath Slater


Jarrett, Idol and Mantell are legends of the Southern Wrestling scene. While all are different personalities and different aspects of the South, all three men hate each other deeply but respect each man just as much.

As time changes, so does the talent. “The One-Man Southern Rock Band” Heath Slater has emerged on the scene in MLW and while not being the toughest and strongest, he has been one of the most conniving, weaseling his ways into wins and drawing the hate of all the fans of MLW.

With each win, Slater declares himself to already by the Greatest Star of the South, some of the biggest Legends of Southern Wrestling decided to confront Slater. Heath, showing no respect to his elders, told them that knowing they would be unable to pin him, they should have a good old fashioned Southern Rock Rumble.

The only way to lose the match it to get tossed over the top, setting Slater up to escape with a victory easily again. Will the Memphis Legends be able to put their differences aside long enough to shut up Slater or will their egos cause Slater to back up his proclamation of taking out the old guard?

Freaks! Weirdos! Midgets! Monsters! Sanitation Workers!
King Kong Bundy, Kurrgan and Mantaur vs. Hornswoggle, The Boogeyman and Duke “The Dumpster” Droese


For months, King Kong Bundy has wanting to squash Hornswoggle. Unhappy with Hornswoggle bringing smiles to the faces of the kids in the crowd, Bundy has been stalking Hornswoggle. Hornswoggle sought help from a tie-dye wearing, dancing Kurrgan, a man who loved fun as much as Hornswoggle but could match the size of Bundy.

After being destroyed by Bundy several times, a frustrated Kurrgan ripped to shreads his tie-dye. When Hornswoggle tried to stop Kurrgan from throwing away his goggles and hat, Hornswoggle was thrown in the trash by Kurrgan, who then started being mentored by Bundy.

Duke Droese, cleaning out the trash after an MLW event, found Hornswoggle and has been protecting him to the best of his abilities. Bundy and Kurrgan agreed to leave Hornswoggle alone if he could solve a labyrinth they had assembled. Hornswoggle agreed, only to come face to face with the mighty Mantaur.

Before the three monsters could tear apart Hornswoggle, Droese drove his garbage truck through the side of the labyrinth to save him.

At the next MLW show, the monsters challenging The Dumpster and The Leprachaun to a match and even allowed them to find a partner. At that time, Hornswoggle went under the ring and emerged with The Boogeyman!

At The War to the Settle the Score, will Hornswoggle end bullying and Be A Star or will the monstrous trio dine on squashed Leprechaun?

Six-Way Cruiserweight Invitational Eliminational
Paul London vs. Kaz vs. Amazing Red vs. Sonjay Dutt vs. Trent Barreta vs. Essa Rios


Cruiserweight action can be some of the most exciting action a wrestling company can provide. While MLW has had an influx of talented cruiserweights, there has never been a true division.

In this match, men with much success in light-weight divisions Paul London, Kaz, Amazing Red, Sonjay Dutt and Essa Rios meet up with Trent Barreta, a man who has never been in a company with a Cruiserweight division but can bring it as hard as the rest of them, to bring a new start to MLW.

All six men start in the ring, and ranking for the division is determined by each elimination. The first man eliminated will start at the bottom of this new division. The last man eliminated becomes the first number one contender to the new championship and the last man standing, is the Inaugural MLW Cruiserweight Champion!

Karate Duel!
“The Lethal Weapon” Steve Blackman vs. Jerry Flynn


Two karate masters respect each other for their equally matched karate skills and charisma.

When a wood-breaking exhibition went sour, leading to Blackman accidentally chopping Flynn, a challenge was laid out.

Karate Rules Challenge!

Six Samoan Scramble for Tag Team Titles!
MLW Tag Team Champions Jimmy & Jey Uso vs. The Headshrinkers (Samu & Fatu) vs. The Sons of Samoa (Tonga Kid & Manu)


The victor of this match brings a lot of bragging rights. The winners will not have only defeated their relatives (and men who cannot suffer damage to their heads) but also walk out as Tag Team Champions.

Jimmy & Jey Uso have been making a name on the tag team scene, but family brings their toughest challenge to date. In a match where they do not have to be pinned to lose their titles, their father has gotten back in his best in-ring shape to team with his greatest partner Samu.

Not wanting to be left out of the party, The Tonga Kid and Manu are two members of the family who do feel as appreciated as the others. Now known as the Sons of Samoa, they hope to take the Usos place on the wave of success.

But last month at Declaration of Violence both teams tripped up and started a brawl on the outside that allowed The Great Muta to show up cost him his number one Contendership against Brian Pillman. He wants nothing to do with any of them (they all freak him out a little anyways) and they get to settle their differences in a Falls Count Anywhere match.

Waldorf: Falls count anywhere? Where could it end up?

Statler: Hopefully out the front door so we don't have to watch them anymore!

Statler: What's a Mirko-Way?

Waldorf: About 220.

Where’s Your Messiah Now? Fans Bring The Weapons
Muttercore Championship Bout
El Mesias (c) vs The Messiah

Two men, the same name. They were destined not to like one another. Toss in a penchant for violence, and you have a deadly brew. El Mesias and the rest of the House of Horrors have been unleashing hell upon The Messiah ever since he earned his shot at Declaration of Violence. The fans get to interact by supplying the toys. Two men enter, only one can be the Savior when it’s all over.

The American Males have been on a tear ever since laying to waste anyone who stood in their path, they set their eyes on the always game Super Dragon last month and were looking to break his leg when Scorpio made his return and chased both men off.

Waldorf: Two guys versus a dragon and scorpion doesn't seem fair.

Statler: Neither is us having to watch it!

International Incident for The Freedom Ring!
LBW Freedom Championship

Prince Devitt (c) vs Naomichi Marufuji w/Capt. Lou Albano

The Freedom Championship produces some of the the best matches in the company, with the sky is the limit style the holder of The Freedom Ring is arguably more sought after than the Liberty Bell Openweight Championship, What can’t be argued is these two international superstars have traded the Ring off with Marufuji beating Devitt at Season’s Beatings, and The Prince getting revenge at Declaration of Violence. Each match more impressive than the last, now the rubber match, bragging rights and the Freedom Ring all on the line. This one should be one for the ages.

Statler: Who do you like in the match for the Freedom Championsip?

Waldorf: Hm...Marufuji.

Staler: Bless you. Now who do you think will win?

Waldorf: Marufuji!

Statler: You need to get that sneeze looked at.

Waldorf: I'm talking about Marufuji!

Statler: I can dig it.


Suppress the Rebel!
Kane vs Kevin Sullivan

Kane has been the muscle in Kevin Sullivan's House of Horrors alongside their Ace The Great Muta and El Mesias, but lately he hasn't been too pleased with their status as guns for hire. He finally showed frustration and refused to chokeslam The Messiah through a table on Crackdown two weeks ago allowing The Messiah to get the upper hand on El Mesias, Kevin Sullivan demanded to know what The Big Red Machine was thinking and Kane said he was done with the group. Sullivan showed him the contract he'd signed, and said, "You are done with the group when the group is done with you!" Now Kane fights for his own personal freedom against the leader of the House of Horrors.

Tremendous Triple Threat for LBW Tag Gold!
The Bashams (Danny/Doug) vs SpeedMuscle (Yoshino/Doi) (c) vs The Eliminators (Saturn/Kronus)

The Titles where held up at Season’s Beatings when Danny had Kronus pinned and Saturn had Doug down, the waters were muddied even further when the at Declaration of Violence SpeedMuscle shocked the world by debuting and running the gauntlet and walked out Tag Team Champions. Now enforcing their rematch clauses The Eliminators and Bashams get another shot at each other, and the team that showed them both up, the claim of Best Tag Team in the World is the prize.

Finishing the Job
Kevin Nash vs The Great Muta

When Muta cost Nash a shot at the Openweight Championship, the motives weren’t clear, but it has come to light that Brian Pillman buried the hatchet with longtime rival Kevin Sullivan and paid The House of Horrors leader for the services of his ace The Great Muta to keep Nash occupied. Big Sexy is looking for Muta’s head, will he see his infamous Jackknife or is his future set to be clouded with mist?


THE MAIN EVENT


Liberty Bell Openweight Championship

“The Loose Cannon” Brian Pillman vs “The Macho Man” Randy Savage w/Miss Elizabeth

Pillman has shown a fanatical lust after everything Randy has, his woman and his belt. He’s cornered Miss Liz backstage with gifts of roses, and candy trying to woo her away, but he was scoffed at every turn. At Season’s Beatings he finally snapped and lashed out at her ripping her blouse, only to be interrupted by the Macho Man, The Loose Cannon got away because Randy was more concerned with covering up Elizabeth.

Pillman even swallowed his pride and asked for help from the hated Kevin Sullivan to get past Kevin Nash and he asked The Board of Directors put a No Contact stipulation on Macho Man. He's hid behind the combined power of The House of Horrors and that No Contact stip to wage psychological warfare on the champion even stealing that torn blouse and wearing it to the ring before his matches. The Champion finally gets his hands on the Loose Cannon tonight.
 
FRONTLINE WRESTLING PRESENTS
THE GARDEN CITY OF GOOD AND EVIL
February 12, 2012
hosted by joey styles and joel gertner
special guest host: chris rock
ring announcer: bob artese
referees: jim molineaux & rudy charles
Champions heading in:
Kenta Kobashi - FLW Medal of Honor champion
Arn Anderson / CW Anderson - FLW United Forces champions
Kevin Steen - FLW Paschendale champion

-We're LIVE from the Nassau Coliseum as we join Joey Styles and Joel Gertner in the middle of the ring for the introduction to tonight's festivities. Joel is about to do his usual limerick schtick, but "No Sex in the Champagne Room" cues up, bringing out Chris Rock. Rock makes fun of Gertner a little bit before telling him and Joey to just go down and do what they do best. Rock does a brief party mix of some of his more well-known stand-up bits (convenient leaving out the "black people vs. n-words" one, mind you), and cue the video package.

-The video mostly focuses on the Cactus Jack/Randy Orton main event, chronicling how Orton cost Jack the FLW Medal of Honor title two months ago to Kenta Kobashi, attacked Jack's family at ringside one night (including an attempted RKO on Dewey, of all people, that was stopped by security and Jack running out for the save), and just generally made each other's life a living hell. It shows AJ Styles winning the one-night tournament a month back, pinning Satoshi Kojima in the finals, to earn the right to challenge Kobashi tonight for the MoH championship, and brief snippets of the uber-serious MMA-style training and interview montages both sides have shown in the last few weeks. Everything else is touched upon briefly, though a big focal point being on the "Extreme vs. Ultraviolence" feud and its escalating level of violence leading to tonight's Cage of Death: Ultimate War match was a great touch (especially how it started as just Tommy Dreamer -v- Joker for a shot at Kevin Steen's Paschendale title and then continued to escalate over the past two months).

-TAG TEAM THREE WAY DANCE TO DETERMINE THE #1 CONTENDERS FOR THE FLW UNITED FORCES TITLES
The Rottweilers (LowKi / Homicide) -v- Wall Street (EZ Money / Chris Ca$h) -v- The Backseat Boyz (Trent Acid / Jonny Kashmere)

One person from each team is legal at any time, the usual FLW United Forces apply (tags must be made for the first 10 minutes, elimination rules in play, and a buzzer sounds at the 10:00 mark to let all participants know that they're now legal), and it's Ki/Money/Kashmere starting off. There's a bit of a comedy spot by Kashmere as he gets Ki and Money to focus on each other as he dances in the BSB corner, drawing their ire, but manages to fend them off via some interesting Bugs Bunny-style bob-and-weave. Acid's tagged in, Yakuza Kick to Ki gets 1, Yakuza Kick to Money gets 2, and he tells Ki where to stick it. Big mistake. Ki WALLOPS him with a Koppo Kick, sending him to the floor. Ca$h is tagged in and takes Acid out with a huge topé con giro, prompting Ki to tag Homicide in to do the same to both Ca$h and Acid on the floor. Back in and Homicide gets Ca$h up top, but Acid rushes in with knees to the back that sends Homicide onto the apron. Acid Bomb is blocked by Ca$h, he goes for an inverted Tornado DDT out of the corner, but Kashmere clubs him from behind, allowing Acid to nail the Acid Bomb and send Ca$h packing at 5:21.

EZ comes in and Acid tags out to Kashmere, who immediately gets hit with the handspring back elbow, a SWANK LygerBomb, and then finished off with the Cha-Ching to get eliminated at 6:09. Acid comes back in, bewildered, and Homicide wrecks him via surprise Ace Crusher before tagging out to Ki, who just goes NUTS on both Acid and EZ with kicks. Tidal Krush to EZ, Acid whips Ki into the ropes, TIDAL WAVE TO ACID FOR 2! LowKi calls for the Ki Krusher on Acid, Trent reverses it into a German for 2, Ki into the ropes and Acid back body drops him onto the apron...DRAGON CLUTCH THROUGH THE ROPES as EZ drops some fists into Acid's ribs. Ki breaks it up and goes up top, but EZ stops him dead in his tracks...AVALANCHE CHA-CHING!!! LowKi is eliminated at 8:56.

Homicide comes in and immediately works over EZ, nailing a Sliding D for 2, but he doesn't have much time to breathe before Acid nails him with a VICIOUS Backdrop Suplex for 2.9! Trent lines it up...YAKUZA KICK TO EZ MONEY!!! He's out at 10:32, leaving Homicide and Acid alone. Trent gloats and works 'Cide over a bit with a chinlock and a surfboard, but the Tumbleweed misses...ALLOWING HOMICIDE TO DRILL HIM WITH A LARIAT AND THEN DROP HIM WITH THE COP KILLAH FOR THE 3-COUNT!!!
Winners: The Rottweilers at 13:44.

-Brief interview rolls from LuFisto about how she was never friends with the cheerleaders when she was a kid, so she turned to wrestling because she was always good at fighting. She emphasizes how she's been in deathmatches with Team Ultraviolence, brawls with women bigger than Melissa, and has the scars to prove it, but none of that is good enough to get anything beyond a look of disgust whenever their paths cross. Tonight? LuFisto's going to make it so the only look Melissa will ever be able to give her again is one of fear.

-LuFisto -v- Cheerleader Melissa
Right away, LuFisto charges in with right hands, making good on her promises from the pre-match promo. Gertner: "Have you ever noticed how it's always the prettier of the two girls who gets fisted first?" Melissa counters with some big rights of her own, but a spinebuster into the corner gets no-sold as Melissa walks away mocking LuFisto, making part of the crowd pop big when LuFisto hits a release German into the corner for 2.5. LuFisto immediately goes for a Death Valley Bomb, but Melissa blocks it and looks for the Kudo Driver, but LuFisto reverses that into a schoolboygirl for 2. DDT by LuFisto is blocked by Melissa into a Northen Lights Suplex for 2, and Melissa goes on the offense immediately. Some wicked knees to the head are followed by a sit-out powerbomb for 2, and that's switched right over into a Half Crab, but LuFisto makes the ropes. Melissa gets her into a Camel Clutch and fish hooks her cheeks and nose before hitting some crossface punches, and LuFisto's nose starts gushing after one of them. CURB STOMP!! Melissa starts to cover but pulls her up at 2.9, looking for the Kudo Driver again, but once more LuFisto reverses into a schoolboygirl for 2. Melissa kicks out, LuFisto planned it, and CHOP/JAB FLURRY BACKING MELISSA INTO THE CORNER...DEATH VALLEY BOMB!!!
Winner: LuFisto at 9:02.

-Joey points out that the Cage of Death is hovering above the ring as Gertner talks about how that environment favors neither team due to how innovative Team Extreme has always been with their violence and how sadistic and twisted Team Ultraviolence has always been.

-Cut to the back to Chris Rock's dressing room, and he's hanging out with New Jack. They trade a few jokes back and forth, but that gets interrupted when Kevin Steen barges in and slaps Jack across the face. They trade shots and exit, allowing ODERUS URUNGUS to sleaze his way in. Rock is completely perplexed as to how he even got into the building wearing a thong with his "man-thing" hanging out, and Oderus calmly explains that he slaughtered the security at the West Garage so that he could come here and entertain these "foolish mammal scum" and "get some crack off of New Jack."

-Back to ringside where Joey and Joel discuss the rest of the card, and New Jack and Steen brawl through the curtain and onto the ramp, unofficially starting their Weapons Match.

-WEAPONS MATCH FOR THE FLW PASCHENDALE TITLE
Kevin Steen (c) -v- New Jack

They trade punches at the top of the ramp, they trade punches walking down the ramp, Steen slams Jack's head into the steps, Jack hits Steen low, they trade punches back up the ramp, and then Steen kicks Jack low before hitting the Package Piledriver OFF THE TOP OF THE RAMP THROUGH A MERCHANDISE TABLE BELOW!!! Steen crawls away and pulls himself to his feet, laughing hysterically, and Jack isn't moving, so Jim Molineaux calls it a No Contest.
Winner: No Contest at 5:43.

-EMTs rush out and Jack's carted off, all as Kevin Steen verbally abuses security and some "lucky" fans. Joey calls Steen a maniac. Gertner chimes in with "and he's fighting like he's never fought before!" Joey, appropriately, calls out Gertner on his bad joke.

-A video package airs about how Shane McMahon brought Justin Credible into FLW to help him gain control of the championships alongside Randy Orton and the Andersons with Justin aiming for the Paschendale title. Slow-motion cue as Steen drops Justin off the apron with a Package Piledriver through a table to retain the Paschendale title from a month ago, and then Shane McMahon the next week firing Credible in the middle of the ring.

-Live promo with Justin Credible, breathing heavily (as he always does for emphasis on "important" matches), talking about how he can't wait to run through whoever Shane McMahon's brought into FLW so that he can get his hands on Shane. He talks about how Shane still owes him half of the money guaranteed when he signed with him, and how he can't wait to see the look on the face of Shane-o-Mac Daddy's latest slave when he has to deal with not just the coolest, not just the best, but Justin...SANEWITHANGER.

-Shane McMahon's limo pulls up in the parking lot and Oderus Urungus rushes up with a microphone to interview him. Shane steps out, a man wearing a full hooded robe with a black mask covering his face after him, and Oderus goes to shut the door...but Vanilla Ice steps out after! Oderus asks what Vanilla's doing there, Ice explains that he and Shane McMahon are old friends, and then Ice asks what kind of a man dresses like that. Oderus rips into Vanilla pretty brutally with some jokes concerning "extremely late-term abortions" and various venereal diseases that he insinuates Vanilla Ice must have gotten from MC Hammer alone, and Ice gives Oderus a shove and kicks him in the Cuttlefish of Cthulhu (the phallic portion of his attire). Oderus no-sells, laughs, and Ice brushes him off, following Shane and his mystery man.

-UNITED FORCES MATCH FOR THE FLW UNITED FORCES CHAMPIONSHIP
The Andersons (Arn Anderson / CW Anderson) (c) -v- Ten-Ji (Hiroyoshi Tenzan / Satoshi Kojima)

Prior to the match, Shane McMahon escorted the Andersons halfway down the ramp before going back up, saying he had to make sure his affairs were in order. Tenzan and Arn to start, and they stall a bit as Arn plays to the crowd, getting them riled up. They do some brief chain wrestling before Arn takes him down with a snapmare and works over the neck with a chinlock and some knees. Tag to CW, who immediately throws some big rights into Tenzan's neck. Off the ropes, CW looks for a powerslam, but Tenzan lands on his feet and chops the hell out of him. Tag to Kojima, and Satoshi takes CW down and starts working on his leg. Kneebar applied, but CW makes the ropes to force the break. Arn distracts the ref, allowing CW to hit him low, and Arn gets tagged in, immediately working on Kojima's lower back with a nice backbreaker and then a bow-and-arrow variation.

5 minutes pass, and Arn drops Kojima with a Belly-to-Belly for 2 before tagging out to CW, saying "we need to get one of them out soon." CW nails Kojima with a Fisherman's Buster for 2, and then looks for the Anderson Spinebuster...but Kojima reverses it into the Koji Cutter! 1...2...NO!! Satoshi tags out to Tenzan, who DOMINATES CW with brutal chops and forearms, sending him down with a powerbomb. Jacknife pin gets 2, Tenzan whips CW into the Anderson corner and says he wants Arn. Arn obliges, and it's a pretty stiff slugfest before Tenzan drops Arn to his knees with a double Mongolian Chop. Another one sends Arn to the canvas, allowing Tenzan to hit a diving headbutt for 2.

1 minute remains until tags are no longer required, and both men really start cranking out the roll-ups, trading 2-counts galore. CW with the blind tag, Tenzan drops Arn with a brainbuster and goes for the Anaconda Vise, but CW clocks him with a surprise superkick just as the buzzer sounds, allowing Kojima to lariat him out of his boots to the floor. Satoshi follows him out and they trade shots around ringside as Tenzan looks for the Anaconda Vise again, but Arn gets his feet on the ropes, forcing the break. Kojima sends CW into the guardrail, but gets back body dropped into the crowd when he charges for another lariat, sending security swarming. Tenzan looks for the TTD, but Arn counters it into an inside cradle for 2.9. CW in, and the Andersons double up on Tenzan, looking to set up their spinebuster/neckbreaker finish that they refuse to name, but Kojima hooks his own partner when he's sent off the ropes so they can't do it.

The match turns into a full-on sprint of Tenzan and Kojima stiffing the hell out of the Andersons before they get out-wrestled, with the Andersons scoring a series of near-falls thanks to roll-ups and actual wrestling. Kojima sends CW out to the floor and Tenzan looks for the TTD again, but Arn hooks the ropes and breaks free, nailing Tenzan with the Anderson Spinebuster into the corner before another Anderson Spinebuster to the mat sends Tenzan packing at 14:21.

CW and Arn toy with Kojima, focusing on his lower back again. CW suplexes Kojima over Arn's knee for a 2.9-count, Arn nails Kojima with a Samoan Drop over CW's knees in a sort of Lungblower-fashion for another 2.9, and the Andersons are fuming that Kojima won't stay down. CW goes to the floor and looks for a chair, allowing Arn to look for a DDT, but Kojima twists out of it...KOJI CUTTER SENDS ARN PACKING AT 18:43!

CW drops the chair on the floor and immediately nails Kojima with the Waterwheel Suplex, drills him with a Superkick when he gets back up, and then snaps off a short powerbomb for 2! CW starts getting furious that Satoshi is still around and looks for his own Anderson Spinebuster, but Kojima hooks the ropes when he's whipped in and then nails a charging CW with a BRUTAL lariat for 2.9!! Both men up, Kojima favoring his back as CW's eyes roll in his head, and a Koji Cutter is reversed into a quick backbreaker before CW nails an enzu-Superkick, sending Kojima into the corner, and plants him with a German suplex for the win.
Winners: And still FLW United Forces champions, the Andersons at 22:09.

-Post-match, both teams shake hands to an applause from the crowd, with Ten-Ji pointing to the United Forces belts and signifying that they'll hold them one day.

-Backstage, Oderus Urungus is with Kevin Steen, and he asks him why Steen felt it necessary to cut off his crack supply that evening. Steen looks Oderus up and down, kicks him in the Cuttlefish, and then blows him a kiss before he walks away, saying "because I felt like it" as he does so.

-Joey and Joel let us know that we'll be privy to a video package as the Cage of Death lowers and is set up, and then it rolls.

Team Extreme (Tommy Dreamer / Spike Dudley / Axl Rotten / Pitbull #1 / Pitbull #2) -v- Team Ultraviolence (Jun Kasai / Nick Mondo / MASADA / Drake Younger / Joker)

Joey Styles explains that Kevin Steen has been barred from even exiting his locker room until the end of the match due to the stakes he has riding on the bout, and Bob Artese lets everybody know that the only way to win is by pinfall or submission once every participant has entered, along with 5 minutes for the first two and each entrance after that being 2 minutes apart. Tommy Dreamer enters first and inspects the cage itself, noticing the 15-feet difference between the top of the cage of the canvas, as well as walking slowly around the ringside floor to get a feel for the allotted space. Jun Kasai is out first for TUV, bringing with him a box of light tubes. The door closes and the bell rings, and Kasai immediately looks to smash the whole box on Dreamer, but Tommy avoids and takes over with a flurry of punches. The fans go CRAZY as Dreamer stops wasting time and just explodes on the Crazy Monkey, stopping only to strike the crucifix pose and spit in his face. Kasai breaks free to the floor, and Dreamer follows him out, ramming his face into the cage over and over as the fans count along from 1 to 10. Jun scrambles back into the ring and catches Tommy with a kick to the groin before taking him down with a DDT onto the box of light tubes. Kasai mocks Dreamer with his own crucifix pose and goes up top, but Dreamer crotches him and shoots him into the remainder of the light tubes with a Rocket Launcher.

"Sick" Nick Mondo is out next, and he immediately goes to work on Dreamer with some choice kicks. A springboard Tumbleweed makes Tommy leave the ring, and Kasai ambushes him with an elbow suicida, holding him in place for Mondo to hit a tope con giro as well. Both men send Dreamer back in and Mondo holds his arms as Kasai digs some broken glass into his forehead.

Spike Dudley runs out next to a huge pop, and he immediately starts laying the forearms in on both Mondo and Kasai, allowing Dreamer to go to the floor to regroup. Hurricanrana to Mondo, tornado bulldog to Jun, and Spike looks for the Acid Drop on Nick but gets dumped to the floor...but Dreamer catches him! Spike and Dreamer both back in now and they trade rights on Mondo before sending him into the corner. Spike whips Dreamer in for a Stinger Splash, Tommy sends Mondo into a big dropkick by Spike, and Kasai blindsides both by throwing a handful of thumbtacks each into their faces, pulling out a burlap sack of them and dumping them on the floor.

MASADA comes out next with a fresh pack of skewers in his hand, calmly entering the Cage and putting some boots to Spike's face. Jun and Mondo tie Dreamer up in the ropes before Kasai pulls Spike to the floor, and MASADA proceeds to slowly stick a few skewers into the top of Tommy's head. Mondo goes to the floor and wails on Spike a bit with Jun before pulling out a few chairs from under the ring, setting them up on the floor. MASADA pounds a few fists into Dreamer's face before going to the floor as well, making it 3-on-1 on Spike.

Axl Rotten enters next, and he's got a custom "Garden City of Good and Evil" chair in his hand, as well as a barbed-wire wrapped baseball bat. He enters the cage and immediately charges Jun, Mondo, and MASADA, smacking them all away with the chair. Mondo's up first, and Axl grinds the barbed wire bat into his forehead, holding it there long enough for Spike to grab the custom chair and smash it in. Kasai flies off the apron with a double axe handle, but Axl catches him and slams him into the cage wall. Spike uppercuts MASADA low and hits a tornado bulldog on the floor before getting back into the ring, trying to break Tommy free from the ropes.

Drake Younger charges out next with a cheese grater and his own box of light tubes as Mondo stops Spike from freeing Dreamer with a Blue Thunder Driver onto some thumbtacks. Drake slams the cheese grater into Axl's face over and over before pulling out a pair of light tubes and smashing them over his head. MASADA pulls a table out from under the ring and angles it against the cage wall before joining Mondo in the assault on Spike, pushing some broken glass from the light tubes into a pile and then double hip-tossing Spike onto it. Drake slowly rakes the cheese grater across Axl's forehead and then looks to suplex him through the table, but Axl blocks it and reverses, suplexing Drake back-first against the corner of the ring apron. MASADA surprises him with a plancha, however, and Jun Kasai comes in with the barbed wire bat, slamming it into Dreamer's ribs over and over.

Pitbull #1 rushes down with a steel chain, nailing every member of Team Ultraviolence who comes near him with a chain-enhanced clothesline. Jun Kasai goes after him with the barbed wire bat, but Pitbull #1 scoops him up and throws him out of the ring through the set-up of chairs. Drake catches him off-guard, though, with a bundle of light tubes smashed over his back, and then digs the glass into his shoulder as TUV takes control again: MASADA working over Spike, Mondo on Axl, and Drake on Pitbull #1.

Joker comes out to complete Team Ultraviolence, bringing a ladder with him, and immediately sets it up in the corner of the ring between the top and middle ropes. Chair shot to Dreamer as he's still tied in the ropes from Drake, Jun produces a pane of glass from underneath and slides it into the ring, Mondo re-sets up the chairs on the floor and brings Spike onto the apron, MASADA gets Axl into position and starts sticking skewers into his head, and Joker sits Pitbull #1 down in the corner with the ladder around his head before hitting a running dropkick into it. Jun grabs some light tubes and smashes one over the head of each member of Team Extreme before going back to the floor, placing the pane of glass on top of the chairs. Nick gets Spike up for the Assault Driver, but Axl fights free from MASADA and breaks that attempt up, press slamming Mondo off of the apron and through the glass/chairs set-up. MASADA immediately fires off a chair shot to his face, though, and then produces a barbed wire board from under the ring. Jun Kasai trades rights with Spike and then sends him down with a piledriver before going up top, donning the goggles, and nailing a chair-enhanced Frog Splash. Joker grabs the cheese grater and digs into Dreamer's forehead before choking him with the barbed wire bat, but Pitbull #1 ends that by wrapping the chain firmly around Joker's throat.

PITBULL #2 IS OUT WITH A FORKLIFT!!! He raises it above the top of the cage and breaks the door down getting in because Rudy Charles is taking too long, going postal on Joker, MASADA, Jun Kasai, Nick Mondo, and Drake Younger. Every bit of plunder brought in so far is used on Team Ultraviolence from Pitbull #2 alone, allowing Axl to free Dreamer from the ropes. Team Extreme groups together in the corner of the ring and looks around as Team Ultraviolence gathers across from them. They all line up side by side in either corner, plunder in hands, and then charge, colliding in the center in a huge orgy of violence: MASADA smashes a bundle of light tubes over Pitbull #2's head, Spike Dudley nails a forward diving headbutt into Nick Mondo's crotch before wailing away on him with forearms, Pitbull #1 and Drake Younger have a swordfight with chairs, Joker smashes the barbed wire bat into Axl's ribs and back repeatedly, and Tommy Dreamer delivers brutal right hand after brutal right hand into Jun Kasai's face.

MASADA gets clotheslined out to the floor by Pitbull #2 and he follows him down. Mondo blocks an Acid Drop attempt by throwing Spike crotch-first onto the ladder in the corner. Pitbull #1 catches Drake with a German suplex onto a pile of thumbtacks and broken glass. Axl and Joker brawl through the ropes to the floor. Dreamer goes for a DDT on Jun Kasai, Jun reverses it into a short-arm clothesline and grabs some broken light tubes before going up top...FROG SPLASH MISSES!! Dreamer gets pulled to the floor by Nick Mondo, but Pitbull #1 makes Kasai eat a chain-enhanced clothesline for a 2-count that's broken up by MASADA with a boot to the head. Pitbull #2 comes back in and drops him with a Gorilla Press Slam, but Nick Mondo catches Pitbull #2 with a springboard spinning wheel kick that sends him reeling to the floor. Outside, Axl Rotten nails Joker with an inverted DDT onto the table wreckage and MASADA pulls a car hood out from under the ring, sliding it in.

Dreamer and Drake pair off, trading right hands, and Spike comes off the top rope with a crossbody to Kasai. Mondo gets Pitbull #1 up...LIFE CUTTER!!! 1! 2!! 3...DREAMER PULLS MONDO OUT OF THE RING! Younger fights Spike off and then goes for Drake's Landing onto the car hood that MASADA produced, but Spike fights out, low blow, ACID DROP ONTO THE CAR HOOD!!! MASADA gets into the ring and goes for a tope con giro to Axl, but Rotten smashes the custom chair over his head, breaking it. Joker grabs Spike and throws him into the ring, follows him in...JOKER DRIVER!!! 1! 2!! 3...AXL ROTTEN BREAKS IT UP!!!

Axl gets Joker in position...PILEDRIVER ONTO A STACK OF LIGHT TUBES!!! 1! 2!! MASADA BREAKS IT UP!!! It's elementary at this point...SKULLFUCKA BUSTER ONTO AXL ROTTEN!!! 1! 2!! 3...PITBULL #2 WITH THE SAVE!! He points up as Pitbull #1 manages to slide the barbed wire board into the ring and place it, Pitbull #2 sits on the top rope, Pitbull #1 picks MASADA up and positions him...SUPERBOMB ONTO THE BARBED WIRE BOARD!!! The Pitbulls taunt Team Ultraviolence, but this costs them as Jun Kasai BREATHES FIRE INTO THEIR FACES!!!! Crazy Monkey grabs the barbed wire bat and readies himself as Tommy Dreamer enters the ring, but Spike hooks his foot before he can charge...BARBED WIRE BAT TO SPIKE'S FACE!!! This buys Tommy some time, though...DDT!! ANOTHER ONE!! A THIRD DDT!!! Dreamer covers! 1! 2!! 3...JUN KICKS OUT!!!

Dreamer stands up and looks around at the rest of Team Extreme and Team Ultraviolence, how they're all bloodied and practically lifeless, and then sees the ladder. He pulls it out from between the ropes, angles it up against the corner, picks Jun Kasai back up...LOUIEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!! SPICOLLI!!! DRIVER!!! ONTO!!! THE!!! LADDER!!! 1! 2!! 3!!!
Winners: Team Extreme at 29:34.

-Both teams gradually come to and show respect to one another in the middle of the ring. Team Extreme raises Team Ultraviolence's hands, but Tommy Dreamer gets blindsided by KEVIN STEEN WITH A KENDO STICK!!! Steen goes crazy on each member of Team Extreme as Team Ultraviolence exits, grabs a mic, and then rants about how nobody from Team Extreme could ever dream of taking the Pachendale title off of him. He's had it longer than anybody else, he'll have it for the rest of 2012, and he'll retire with it if he damn well chooses to.

LIGHTS OUT...MISSILE SHOT...NEW JACK IS BACK FROM THE HOSPITAL!!!! PLUNDER AHOY as New Jack rushes to the ring with a trashcan full of fun stuff, throwing it at Steen and immediately continuing where they left off earlier. Jim Molineaux rushes down to the ring and picks up the Paschendale title, handing it off to Bob Artese...AND WE'VE GOT THE TITLE MATCH WE WERE PROMISED!!!

-FLW PASCHENDALE TITLE MATCH
Kevin Steen (c) -v- New Jack

It's all New Jack right away. BLU-RAY PLAYER TO THE HEAD!! A GameCube is placed on the mat...DROP TOEHOLD ONTO IT!!! Crutch? Stop sign? RIGHT TO STEEN'S CROTCH!!! Aaaaaaaaaaaand...time for New Jack to play a little song on his guitar known as EL KABONG!!! Team Extreme comes to on the floor and are about to leave, but Tommy pulls out a table and then sets it up in the ring. Pitbull #2 stops New Jack as he digs a fork into Steen's forehead over and over, pointing to the forklift, and New Jack exits the cage with Pitbull #2. Dreamer, Spike, Pitbull #1, and Axl position Steen on the table, holding him there, and Pitbull #2 backs the forklift up and lowers the forks, allowing New Jack to step on before he raises them back up.

Joey Styles: "...I don't like the look of this at all..."

Pitbull #2 tilts the forks forward per New Jack's request...

Joey Styles: "OHHHHHHHH MYYYYYYYYYY GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

...AND NEW JACK FLIES OFF THE FORKLIFT WITH A BODY SPLASH TO STEEN THROUGH THE TABLE!!!! Axl pulls Jack on top of Steen! 1! 2!! 3!!!
Winner: And new FLW Paschendale champion, New Jack at 7:21.

-Team Extreme celebrates with New Jack, and Oderus Urungus saunters his way down to the ring as the FLW crew starts cleaning up the mess. He grabs a live mic and goes into a tirade on Vanilla Ice, ripping him apart for getting herpes from ICP (starting up a "family" chant amidst the Juggalos of the crowd, but Oderus ends that quick by telling them to get jobs and take more drugs so that they die) and sucking the cream filling out of the snack cake that Oderus left his mother the night before. "Ice Ice Baby" cues up (because why not) and Vanilla calls Oderus a joke who had to wear an alien costume to get noticed.

Oderus: "No shit, Sherlock, but that's still better than giving MC Hammer and MC Blumpkin."

Ice charges the ring and Rudy Charles is already there, so the bell's called for.

-Oderus Urungus -v- Vanilla Ice
Ice slides under the bottom rope and charges, but Oderus immediately uses one of the chairs from the Cage of Death/Paschendale title melees to smash into his face, knocking him down. A foot on the chest and it's entirely academic.
Winner: Oderus Urungus at 0:10.

-Oderus does a victory dance extremely similar to what Beetlejuice does when he finds the whorehouse, carefully exiting the ring as the Cage is raised and slapping a few hands at ringside. Security comes out to check on Vanilla Ice, who wakes up and starts crying as he's helped back up the ramp, all as the fans who notice point and laugh along with Oderus.

-Back to Chris Rock's room, and he and AJ Styles are talking basketball. A road agent peaks his head in, tells AJ that his match is up next, and Chris Rock wishes him luck. Styles leaves Rock's room but runs into Kenta Kobashi while walking towards the Gorilla Position. Neither man says a word, just staring holes into each other, and then nod as they walk off.

-A video package airs of Kenta Kobashi's time as MoH champion, focusing on his winning the title from Cactus Jack under dubious circumstances (thanks to Orton's interference), a pair of successful defenses against the Andersons, several highlights of a 60-minute draw from a month ago with Hiroyoshi Tenzan, and even a Paschendale Rules match against Kevin Steen that saw Kobashi narrowly escape with the win three weeks ago. Focus then on AJ Styles, winning the contendership tournament after beating Arn Anderson, MASADA, and Satoshi Kojima in one night.

-The package ends and Joey Styles makes sure to mention that Kobashi has defended the title more times in the past two months than any MoH champion to date with four successful defenses and has been undefeated otherwise since winning the title, but AJ Styles, a two-time MoH champion, has Kobashi in his sights.

-FLW MEDAL OF HONOR CHAMPIONSHIP
Kenta Kobashi (c) -v- AJ Styles

A little bit of a slow start as AJ is hesitant to even stand too close to Kobashi, and he gets good reason as they try a chop battle that Kobashi wins with relative ease. Kobashi takes over with a snapmare and then an armbar, but AJ fights out and manages to snap on a La Magistral for 2. They circle, and Styles comes off with a few kicks to Kobashi's leg before Kenta gets ahold of him again and locks him up in an abdominal stretch. AJ tries to break free, but Kobashi nails some elbows to his ribs and then adds a chinlock to it. AJ fights out and gets sent into the corner...RUNNING CHOP by Kobashi, BRAINBUSTER...2-count.

Styles eats a pair of boots as he rises, and then gets planted with a scoop slam and an elbow drop for 2. Kobashi hooks him into a side headlock the moment he kicks out, though, and takes him down, constantly looking to pin him and getting a few 1 counts. AJ manages to hook Kobashi into a headscissors to break free, and holds onto it, forcing Kobashi to get to the ropes for theb reak. Both men up and AJ goes for another chop exchange, this time avoiding Kobashi's and peppering in some forearms in between his own chops. Whip to the ropes and AJ leapfrogs, drops down, and NAILS a high dropkick square on Kobashi's mouth for a 2-count.

Kenta's lower lip is busted open a bit, and AJ shows what he learned from his series with LowKi months ago with some STIFF kicks to Kobashi's chest and face. Off the ropes and Styles goes for a jumping lariat, Kobashi catches him, LOOKS FOR THE BURNING HAMMER...STYLES REVERSES INTO A VICTORY ROLL! 1! 2!! 3...KOBASHI KICKS OUT!!! Both men up around the same time...BURNING LARIAT!!! 1! 2!! 3...AJ KICKS OUT!!! Kobashi up top...MOONSAULT...AJ GETS THE KNEES UP! Styles nails a few more STIFF kicks to Kobashi's face and chest...STYLES CLASH COMING...NO!!! KOBASHI BACK BODY DROPS AJ TO THE FLOOR!

Kenta follows him out and whips him into the guardrail, but AJ hops over into the front row, turns, and surprises Kobashi with a springboard forearm from the top of the barrier. AJ in control, now, as he stomps on Kobashi's neck a few times and then brings him up, slamming his face into the barrier. Chop, whip to the apron, chop...KENTA CHOPS BACK!!! Kobashi hooks him, and nails him with a back suplex onto the apron! Back in, Kobashi covers for 2, and then whips AJ into the corner, playing to the crowd before MACHINE GUN CHOPS!!!! AJ's chest looks about medium rare before Kobashi finally stops and clobbers him with a lariat, dragging him into the center of the ring for 1! 2!! 3...AJ KICKS OUT!!!

Styles gets rocked with more chops as Kobashi shoves him into the corner, MACHINE GUN CHOPS, Kenta whips AJ into the ropes, LARIAT ATTEMPT DUCKED...PELE KICK!!! 1! 2!! 3...KOBASHI KICKS OUT!!! Styles goes on the offensive with kicks to Kobashi's face and chest, but Kenta fires back with some chops to the chest and shoulders. Lariat attempt ducked, AJ GOES OFF WITH PUNCHES AND KICKS AND FOREARMS!!! Styles backs Kobashi into the corner, firing off everything he can, and then sends the MoH champion down with a beautiful enzuigiri. 1! 2!! 3...KOBASHI KICKS OUT!!! AJ goes up top, but Kenta surprises him and crotches him. Kenta hooks him...ORANGE CRUSH!!! 1! 2!! 3...AJ KICKS OUT!!!

Kobashi wastes no time, gets him up, and drops him with the BLACK CRUSH!!! 1! 2!! 3...AJ GETS HIS FOOT ON THE ROPES!!! Joey and Gertner focus on AJ's heart and how Kobashi's been undefeated as champion, the timing on their comments perfect as Kobashi gets AJ up for the Diamond Head...BUT STYLES SLIPS OUT...PELE KICK #2 BLOCKED...HALF NELSON SUPLEX REVERSED...GERMAN SUPLEX BY STYLES, HE ROLLS INTO A SECOND ONE...BLUE THUNDER DRIVER!! Styles goes onto the apron...SPRINGBOARD 450 SPLASH!! 1! 2!! 3...KENTA KICKS OUT!!!

Both men up, SUPERKICK by Styles is blocked...POWERBOMB...STYLES COUNTERS INTO A 'RANA FOR 2.9!!! Styles up and to the top, Kobashi up, DIVING FOREARM!! Styles calls for the end, gets Kenta back up, STYLES CLASH...KOBASHI REVERSES AND BREAKS FREE...BURNING LARIAT INTO THE CORNER!!! The force sends AJ to the floor, and Kobashi slowly follows him out. AJ's down, though, and Kenta has trouble getting him back to his feet. The ref's count gets to 13 before Kobashi even has AJ on his feet, he's sent back into the ring, Kobashi follows...KIP-UP 'RANA! Kobashi back up, HIGH DROPKICK ROCKS HIM!! AJ sets him up...STYLES CLASH!!! 1! 2!! 3...KOBASHI KICKS OUT!!!

AJ can't believe it and slowly goes up top again, but Kenta fights over to him. Both men up top, Kobashi's looking for an Avalanche Brainbuster...STYLES FIGHTS BACK...KICK TO THE HEAD SENDS KOBASHI TO THE MAT...SPIRAL TAP!!! 1! 2!! 3!!!
Winner: And new FLW Medal of Honor champion, AJ Styles at 33:28.

-Kobashi and AJ shake hands with Kobashi raising AJ's hand, and Joey and Gertner run down the highlights of the match. Cut back to the live feed as Styles is at the top of the ramp, holding the MoH title high, and he walks to the back.

-Justin Credible comes out to the ring, saying he can't wait for Shane McMahon to come down so that he can take care of whatever chump he's been replaced with, and then out comes Shane-o-Mac himself. McMahon talks about how he's got somebody that knows the former (emphasizing the word "former" with a pause after it) Medal of Honor champion quite well, and how this is a man that is known the world over as being both a monster and being the epitome of dangerous. Justin says he doesn't care who it is because they're not "just incredible." Out comes the hooded figure, who enters the ring, and Shane quickly pulls off his cloak and mask, causing Credible's color to drain from his face.

Joey Styles: "IT'S KAWADA!! IT'S KAWADA!!!"

-Justin Credible -v- Toshiaki Kawada (w/ Shane McMahon)
Credible attacks immediately, but Kawada swats him away and levels him with brutal kicks to the face over and over again. Justin's nose is busted wide open at the bridge after a gamengiri, and Kawada hits him with a Lariat, a Backdrop Driver, and then a Powerbomb with a Jackknife pin for the win.
Winner: Toshiaki Kawada (w/ Shane McMahon) at 6:21.

-Shane grabs the microphone again and taunts Justin Credible as Kawada motions around his waist for the belt, and McMahon then tells AJ Styles that he's looking at the next Medal of Honor champion right here and now.

-Backstage promo from Cactus Jack, who only says three words after nearly a full minute of silence and heavy breathing through his nose: "Randy will die."

-No Disqualifications
Cactus Jack -v- Randy Orton

Jack gives chase as Orton bails, eventually cutting him off and then slamming fist after fist into Randy's face. Whip into the guardrail, and Jack rams Orton's head into the ring steps over and over, whipping Randy into the guardrail again and then clotheslining him over into the crowd. A quick taunt and Jack goes to follow Randy in, but Orton throws a chair into his face and then pummels him with fists.

Boots to the head by Orton slam Jack's head into the guardrail a few times, and Orton goes for a running clothesline but gets back body dropped to the ringside floor. Cactus goes back over the barrier and digs under the ring, pulling out a pair of chairs and sliding them in. Orton blindsides Jack with a chair to the back and rocks him with a whip into the barrier and boots to the face, sending him onto the apron and getting into the ring to hit a Hanging DDT off the middle rope. 1! 2!! Cactus kicks out!

Randy sets up one of the chairs and slams Jack face-first into it, brings him up, and then hits a DDT onto it. 1! 2!! Jack kicks out! Orton wedges the other chair between the turnbuckles and goes to whip Jack in, but Cactus stops and hits a short-arm clothesline to knock Randy down. Cactus grabs the chair and hits a running elbow drop with it. 1! 2!! Orton kicks out at 2.5, and Jack pounds some fists into his head before rolling out of the ring and pulling a table out from underneath. He sets the table up on the floor and goes to climb back into the ring, but Orton boots him through the ropes and to the floor. Randy follows him out and throws Jack over the barrier, following him out.

They brawl through the crowd, starting from the ring and then going up towards the stairs to the first balcony. Jack grabs a fan's cup of beer and smashes it over Orton's face as they brawl to the concession stand, but then gets blindsided by two fans wearing Andersons hoodies and FLW hats, pulling them off to reveal themselves as Arn and CW Anderson.

Joey Styles: "Why are they helping Randy Orton?!"

Joel Gertner: "Maybe Orton promised them sexual favors after the match."

Joey Styles: "Would you shut up?!"

Orton backs Arn and CW off, dropping knee after knee into Jack's face before the three of them toss Cactus down the stairs towards the floor again. The Andersons and Orton wail away on Jack as they make their way back to the ring, sending Cactus back over the barrier with a double clothesline by Arn and CW. The Andersons pull a ladder out from under the ring and set it up between the barrier and the apron as Orton pulls out the barbed wire board from earlier, sliding it into the ring.

The 3-on-1 continues with Orton orchestrating CW and Arn attacking Jack. Cactus tries to fight back, sending Arn to the floor and trading off on CW and Randy with right hands, but CW surprises Jack with a Superkick that allows Orton to smash a chair over his head. 1! 2!! 3...JACK KICKS OUT!!! Arn drags Jack out onto the apron near the ladder, looking for an Anderson Spinebuster onto it, but HERE COME THE ROTTWEILERS!!! LowKi and CW pair off as Homicide pulls Arn off the apron and goes crazy on him. Jack gets back in and brawls with Orton, whipping him face-first into the chair wedged in the corner.

Jack grabs the barbed wire board and suplexes it into Orton's back as LowKi sets CW up on the table on the floor as Homicide and Arn trade shots in the front row, and Jack pulls the ladder into the ring, setting it up in the center. Orton surprises him with the chinlock backbreaker, and then drops the ladder across Jack's back before setting the barbed wire board up in the corner. Ki jumps off of the top rope...GHETTO STOMP TO CW ANDERSON THROUGH THE TABLE!!! Arn whips Homicide into the barrier and charges, Homicide surprises him with a boot to the face, AND A LARIAT SENDS ARN DOWN!! Orton throws a chair over the top rope and catches Ki in the back of the head, and Homicide runs in to look for an Ace Crusher, but Orton blocks it...RKO ONTO THE UNFOLDED CHAIR!! Orton drops down as Jack desperately tries to get to his feet, and Randy lets the hunt begin. Jack's up, Randy goes for an RKO...BUT GETS DROPPED ON TOP OF THE LADDER!!! Orton scrambles up, clutching his back, and Jack gets him...DOUBLE-ARM DDT ONTO THE BARBED WIRE BOARD!!! 1! 2!! 3!!!
Winner: Cactus Jack at 17:40.

-Post-match, Senior Official Jim Molineaux checks on Jack, LowKi, and Homicide as Rudy Charles and FLW security check on the Andersons and cut Orton free from the barbed wire board. The Rottweilers hold Cactus Jack's arms up in victory as they walk up the ramp, Joey Styles and Joel Gertner thank you for tuning in, and WE CUT TO THE BACK!!

-TOSHIAKI KAWADA HAS BLOODIED AJ STYLES!!! POWERBOMB ONTO THE HOOD OF SHANE'S LIMOUSINE!!!! McMahon gets in AJ's face, shoving the FLW Medal of Honor title against his cheek, and says that the belt is coming to him and Kawada very, very soon as the show ends.
