Bryan TubertiyTonight we have four massive matches, with our opening match being one where George has a horse running in it.
George CookThat right in the opening match my man Luke Harper will win the JCW Television Championship.
Bryan TubertiyThe first match is due to start anytime soon but before it begins just to remind the audience at home the back story for this match. This match last week was set up as a seven man battle royal...
George CookDon’t you mean six men and one woman?
Bryan Tubertiy.......and also last week MNMs Melina was revealed as one of the competitors in the match. This was a shock as Brad Maddox, who is also in the match get up alliances of wrestlers including MNM, to help each other get their gold. Now Melina is a roadblock in the way of Brad’s dreams. This match is also acting as a gruge match between JTG and Luke Harper who had a major falling out over a minor incident.....
George Cook“Minor incident”? JTG cost Luke the tag titles.
A1:.......The match will also feature Jericho’s body guard Shad, who is looking for some gold to complement his bosses gold, if Jericho wins the main event. Scotty 2 Hotty announced on JCW first show that he was running for the title and last but not least is Finlay. Nobody knows why he wants to fight; all we can guess is that he just loves to fight.

Match one
7 man battle royal

The match begins Brad and Shad, Finlay and Scotty and JTG and Luke locking up. Melina uses this to her advantage and leaves the ring to distance herself from the fighting. The start of the match is very standard with everyone getting in some offensives moves in. It’s not long before the fighting spills to the outside when Harper tosses JTG over the top rope. Luke uses this opening and he begins to destroy JTG on the outside of the ring using the barricade and steps to his advantage. Meanwhile Scotty has started to get the upper hand on Finlay. Scotty uses his speed to his advantage and prevents Finlay from locking in any hold. Shad and Brad are still in a stalemate with each landing a suplex on the other and both using dirty tricks to get the upper hand.
Luke tosses in the weak JTG into the ring and is setting him up for the Truckstop. He picks up JTG but JTG managed to fight out of the side slam and lock up Harper with a small package

JTG and Harper connect with force as Luke plants JTG to the ground with a big boot. Luke looks over to George, who encourages him to go for the cover.

The time alone was enough for Brad to catch his breath and he begins a massive offensive on the tired Finlay. Finlay is doing his best to block but Brads speed is too much.

Segment two

Bryan TubertiyWhat a match ladies and gentlemen, who would have taught that Melina would win the JCE Television championship and George tough luck.
George CookMelina was outside of the ring for the whole match she should have been DQed. Trust me Luke and I will be lodging a formal complaint with management.
Bryan TubertiyThat’s a story for another day George; right now we need to focus on our next match, Ken Shamrock vs. Tommy Dreamer for the JCW Intercontinental Championship. Both these guys have been at the each other for the last couple of weeks. Weather it was in the ring action or back stage these guys hate each other. Shamrock, as you all know, is part of Brad Maddox alliance and one of Brad most faithful followers. He has done everything in his power to aid DDP, Brad’s top guy, in their quest for the championship. Dreamer on the other hate is an old friend of Foley and by helping Mick has drawn himself heat from Shamrock, especially with the beating that he and Mick gave DDP in the second show.
George CookShamrock has to be the favourite here, Dreamer has no hope against such an athlete. Shamrock also has the advantage of this being a submission match. Give Ken a limb and he will bend the bones into some of the most painful holds possible and watch out for the dreaded ankle lock, as they say once Shamrock has the ankle lock applied his opponents have one choice “tap or snap”
Bryan TubertiyAt the same time you can’t rule Dreamer. They guy lives off pain and has the ability to absorb so much damage. Stay tuned because the match between the “World’s most Dangerous Man” and the “Innovator of Violence” is bound to be a corker of a match.



Match Two
Dreamer vs. Shamrock

Ken starts off the match by going after his favourite place, Dreamer’s ankle. Shamrock uses his MNA experience to land kick after kick on Dreamer right ankle while Tommy is trying to stay out of Shamrock range. Tommy makes his first move of the match with a wicked right hand to Shamrock temple, which send Shamrock stumbling. Dreamer push on with the punches, Ken throws a wild right hook which Dreamer duck and land a backdrop on the turned around Shamrock. With Ken down Dreamer starts going to work on Shamrocks head. A few stomps here and there before Tommy decides to roll out of the ring and starts looking under the ring, Tommy resurfaces with assortment of goodies, a chair, kendo stick, garbage can, baseball bat and a cheese grater. Tommy throws them all into the ring and starts working Shamrock over with the kendo stick. Blow after blow, Tommy breaks the kendo stick off Shamrock.

Shamrock starts posing around the ring, giving Shamrock a chance to recover. Dreamer goes to pick up Shamrock when Ken manages to lock in a guillotine choke hold, wearing Tommy down. Both me are on the ground recovering. Shamrock is the first to stir. He gets up and grabs the baseball bat. Shamrock with the bat is resting in the ring corner when Dreamer starts to get to his feet. Dreamer is on his knees when Ken runs out of the corner and swings the baseball bat into the side of Tommy head. Dreamer crumbles and Shamrock drops the bat. Ken gets the chair and wraps it around Dreamer right ankle. Shamrock grabs the bat and swings the bat onto the chair five times before Dreamer ankle comes loses from the chair. Ken goes in for the kill and locks in his ankle lock, the pain shoots across Tommy face. Dreamers hand and swing wildly, trying to find the ropes to grab, but the only thing in his reach is the garbage can. Tommy with all his strength rolls onto his back and tosses the garbage can at Shamrock. Ken has no time to protect his face and the garbage can smashes into his face, sending him backwards. Ken lands the back of his head on the baseball bat. Both men are down again.

This time Tommy is the first man to his feat, with the aid of the ropes, he limbs over to the chesses grater and picks it up. Slowly he makes his way to Shamrock and rolls him over. Tommy locks in a cross face with the chesses grater pushing into Shamrock face. Ken nose and face are ripped open and the blood is pumping out of him, he has nowhere to go, he has only one option.

Ken Shamrock taps out.

Tommy Dreamer is the JCW Intercontinental Champion.

Segment three

Bryan TubertiyLadies and Gentlemen the innovator of violence live up to his name and picks up the win, while Shamrock is on his way to the hospital for treatment.
George CookThat Dreamer makes me sick, management will strip him of the belt. JCW doesn’t want him as a champion.
Bryan TubertiyI don’t see that happening George. But please stay with me and call the next match. The four way ladders match for the title.
George CookThis should have never been on the card. It should be MNM vs. Kofi Kingston and R-Truth
Bryan TubertiyBut interference in the first match of the tournament cost the New Age Outlaws their shot at the titles. However they successful lobbied JCW owner who set up this match. Are you complaining about the boss George?
George CookWhat? No, no, no, he just had to get rid of those degenerates.
Bryan TubertiyAlso George what do you think of the fact that each member of a team is required to grab a belt?
George CookIt will test the teams alright but at JCW we only want the best team as our tag team champions.
Bryan TubertiyThis match is up next

Explanation

Battle Royal:

The Battle Royal was a way I could have all my mini feuds on the PPV and not be boring. I included Melina because I felt that she was under used. I also have a soft spot for female competing with the male. I never had a winner in mind so I put all the names in a random generator, like the draft, and the name it picked was the winner. I than built the match around that

Intercontinental match:

I always planned for it to be a submission match but with Finlay instead of Dreamer. I changes to Tommy as I felt he would be a better rival for Ken given the Foley- DDP feud. Also I had a dream about Tommy using the cheese grater, cross face combo on Shamrock and I taught it was rad.

Four way tag match:

This was always going to go down like this. The tournament was always going to crumble and thanks to Prop Joe for giving me a perfect story line to allow it to crumble. As for the ending I couldn’t decide who should win between MNM and N.A.O so I decide to each a belt

Main event:

This storyline created itself. Everything just popped into my mind; also Foley first book gave me a few ideas. As for the match many of the spots where inspired by Cactus titanton and the ending was also created in a dream.

Hoped you enjoyed JCW and if you'll have me we'll be back next year with some polish. Thank you

The MTV take over by LVV. It’s pretty much the last bit of TV before the showdown of superstars at Viva Los Lucha XIII in Las Vegas in a week’s time. Tonight MTV has been taken over by the Lucha VaVoom roster and it looks like it could be a night to celebrate the Bad guys.

The show opens backstage where John Cena is hosting a piss take “wake” for the career of his enemy Ric Flair. The bodyshop arrive and join into all the fun and festivities. John Cena gets up and preforms a rap. He even gets out a bottle of champagne. He mockingly tells everybody to stand back as he tapes a bandage around his head just before he formula one’s the fizzy bottle around all the party goers. D-von and Dinero are looking far from pious as they join in with all the debauchery. Along with the cast of the bodyshop they all swig beers and have bikinied blondes on each arm, all these groupies being directed by chief madame herself Sherri Martel.


The Steiners tell the group they are going to destroy Cho-Ten in “Japland” and promise and even bigger shindig when they do come back from the orient victorious. Ventura with puffed chest informs his minions that it is an inevitably that he will get the better of the unstable madman The Ultimate Warrior. He has an inferior intellect, body and strength. Masters and Terry flex their muscles and tell the group to watch the scene and see just what is in store for Enzo Amore at the PPV. As he clinks a beer with Rob Terry, Chris Masters stroking his title points out the match that took place the night before and it once again showed why The Bodyshop are the most important stable in wrestling today.

The party turns to the monitors’ and are shown footage of Rob Terry’s match up with Enzo Amore. Terry dominates the match and his excessive muscle to too much for Amore. It does help Masters distracts the ref on every occasion. Amore hits some high flying shots in on the muscled Welshman. With fast paced moves the mouthy Italian gets the upper hand on Terry and goes to leapfrog but is met by a sly title hit from the champ on the outside which goes unseen by the ref. Amore eyes rolls Master’ stuck himself a strike. Terry delivers an almighty powerbomb on the quite lifeless Enzo and counts a 1-2-3.

We turn back to the party of LVV’s villain as they laugh and cackle as the beating of Enzo Amore. They rise their glasses as the music pounds as the king and queen, the joker and harlequin of LVV. John Cena and Sherri Martel sit on their thrown and survey the whole affair.

The screen buzzes and blinks and soon upon the TV screens around “the wake” a covered in Japanese writing. Chono and Tenzan walk onto the video holding a bag and looking very fierce. Chono points at the camera and begins to address The Steiners.

Chono “Scotty!!!…Rick!!!...You see this? You see this bag? This bag contains 102220000 Yen. I’m no mathematician but I count that as One million yankee American dollars. This bounty was given to any Japanese superstars that would get revenge on The Steiner brother who disrespected our nation, our culture and one of our most distinguished leaders. One million Dollarsto grab these wanted men. We went to America and seeked you out and there is no denying you have skill and power and were more than up to our attacks. We are a perfect match. We are going to get the best of each other anyway so here’s our proposal. Ladder match in the Tokyo Dome. We have this very big bounty hanging and the winner takes it all. The money, the respect and the honor. See you dogs in Tokyo. Bring the fight!!!!”

The screen fades to black as Scotty Steiner is held as he violently shouts abuse at the screen. Ventura and the meathead try to control the madman. He flips the faux coffin containing a mocked up dead Ric Flair. The camera zooms in on the on looking John Cena who just rolls his eyes and laughs at the uncontrollable Michigan alumni. We go to commercial, as the presented leads us to the ad break he highlights a tweet sent by Adorable Adrian Adonis.

@AAAdonis A surprise for my dealings to D-Von and Dinero- I’ve booked us a little hardcore match for Viva Los Lucha XIII. They think I’m soft well I’ve recruited a man from a time when men were men #oldschoolbeatdown

When we return see Scott Steiner still completely worked up. He is calm by his brother and Ventura and he storms out the door. He hasn’t slammed the door two seconds when he comes flying through it head first. The party goers stop in their tracks all slack jawed as to wear Scotty came from. He door is as open as their jaws until a large shadowy figure appears. It’s the Ultimate Warrior. The Warrior leads over Scot’s downed body and hits Ventura with a clothesline. He runs wild throughout the room hitting everything and everybody present at the party. Masters bang! Terry bang! Ventura Bang! All being levelled with hit after hit. It isn’t long before Rick Steiner hits him with a dumbbell. It knocks him out cold much like on his debut in LVV wrestling. The wolfpack mentality comes to the front with all the heels loading Warrior into the coffin. Jeers and cheers echo throughout the room. The burly Bodyshow with Ventura leading the way exiting with the entrapped Warrior.


Cena and Sherri laugh at the nutters leaving the room and leaving them alone. Cena grabs her by the hair throw her into a chair demanding she gives him a sexy dance. He cried over to the DJ to “stripper it up”. The room is still silent. He again shout at the DJ for some music for his dirty valet to give him a dance. Again the room stay silence. Cena storms over to the DJ booth but before he gets their the DJ flicks the desks and a massive “WWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!” blares from the speakers. The DJ throws off his oversized hat and sunglasses. By God it’s Ric Flair. As his own funeral. He whollops Cena with a punch and pushing a lingerie clad Sherri off her chair. He grabs the chair and smashes it over Cena’s head. He throws a bowl of punch over the fallen punk rapper. Cena begs for mercy but Flair is having none of it. He shuts Cena up by grabbing some flowers from is fake wake and shoves them in John’s mouth. Locking on a figure four he doesn’t stop until Sherri goes to throw a vase at him. He backs off but not before lifting Cena by the collar and telling him he going to get his ass kicked on Sunday.

Chono is pumped up and starts his flurry of offence on Rick. Chono whips Rick towards Tenzan who gives Rick a monterous Gorilla Press Slam that puts Rick on the floor outside the ring. He then gets up on the top rope and gives Scott a Flying Shoulder Block. Cho Ten are ready to finish the match. Chono gets up on the ladder while Tenzan goes between his legs to give support. As the pair awkwardly make their way up the ladder, Rick springboards and his a bulldog on the elevated Chono on the ladder. The three man fall like the twin towers. Scott limps into the ring. He goes to climb the ladder but his knee is in a bad way he picks back up his brother and points to the bounty and titles. As Rick climbs Scott picks up Chono delivering a neckbracking Steinerscrew driver. Rick grabs the titles and the bounty just as Scott shouts expletives at the Japanese crowd as he has Tenzan in a Steiner recliner. The Americans have done the unthinkable and have gone back to Japan and have tey again giving a big F U to all the Asian wrestling fans.


Ventura makes his way out and when he comes out he hits the commentary booth. He grabs a mic and tell the crowd he has something special in store. He think people think he feels The Ultimate Warrior. That he isn’t able for the Ultimate Warrior but he has organised something that will make it man V man. No distractions. He says he has organised a stell cage for his match with UW tonight. He calls for the LVV staff to drop the cage.

Match 4: Intercontinental Chamionship Jesse “The Body” Ventura VS The Ultimate Warrior

Ventura enters the ring first to another chorus of booes. He looks around and puts three fingers up. Three matches from three for the Bodyshop. Warrior’s music hits and the places goes bananas. He comes down the ramp at rough 500mph. He climbs the cage and starts to shake it like an utter madman. The match starts with Warrior chasing Ventura around the ring. Ventura can’t escape the nutter so is forced to lock up. UW hits with a flurry of punches. He hits Ventura with a backbreaker and follows it up with a diving crossbody. The pace of the match is too much for Ventura but he can’t slow it down until Warrior attempts a dropkick after launching Ventura into the ropes but Ventura holds on to the ropes and Warrior misses the attack. Ventura points to his head just in case the audience weren’t aware of his smarts. This allows Ventura to get some offence in and he uses the cage to his advantage. He throws Warrior over the ropes face first into the steel cage several times and as Heenen would say Warrior’s paintjob is all over the shop

Ventura beat on the Warrior who can’t handle the strength that Jesse is always preaching about. Warrior then suddenly gets The Body in the corner, he hits him with a ten punch that the crowd cheer along with. Warrior is building up a head of steam. Ventura is thrown onto the top turnbuckle after being dragged around the cage. Warrior runs up the ropes and strikes Ventura with a rock solid axe handle.

Ventura struggles to his feet and goes to the nearest corner and climbs the cage to attempt to escape. Warrior gets to his feet and chases up the cage after him and just grabs Ventura’s foot to prevent him over the top of the cage. Both wrestlers are sitting on the top of the cage exchanging blows. Warrior gives Ventura a powerful punch and this has Jesse struggling. Warrior follows it up with another elbow to the head and Christian is struggling. Warrior throws Ventura back into the ring. Warrior is on the top of the cage and realises all he has to do is climb down to win. He also sees Ventura on the mat, looks at the crowd and points at “Thebody/bulleye/champion” on the ground. Pumping his arms he channels the little Warriors. The crowd cheer loudly as they know what’s coming next. Warrior stands up on the steel cage and jumps off to give Ventura cagetop splash.

Ventura amazingly kicks out at two and struggles to his feet. He realises that Warrior may have hurt himself from the eagle-like fall. Although he is in great pain he hobbles slowly over to the door of the cage. He shouts at the ref to open the cage. The ref is stumbling trying to get the door open and eventually gets there. Ventura then goes to exit the cage but Warrior suddenly grabs hold of his foot and drags him back inside. Christian kicks loose and begins to crawl to the door again. Warrior this time hulks up and rises to his feet. He doesn’t grab Ventura by the feet but in fact grabs the door and pulls it violently into the face of Ventura five or six times. Ventura falls to the centre of the ring. Warrior lands a big splash on the champ and this time gets the 1.2.3…
Winner and new intercontinental champion The Ultimate Warrior!!!!

Match 5: NO DQ For The LVV World Heavyweight Title Ric Flair VS John Cena

John Cena is first out with Sherri and the crowd boos loudly at the punk rappers presence. Cena flips off the fans as he makes his way to the ring. That trademark WOOOOOOO means Flair is out next and plays up to the crowds cheers but he has a focus inhis eye. He is NOT happy with Cena and his ludicrous antics. Flair is barely in the ring when Cena attacks. The ref rings the bell Cena continues to beat on The Nature Boy who is still in his trademark gown. Cena rips it off him and begins to wear it mockingly, Sherri loves it. The ref stops it and Flair gets back to his feet. He pushes Cena backwards into the corner and lights up Cena chest with his chest splitting chops. As Sherri distracts the ref Cena rolls out of the ring then goes under the apron and brings out a metal bar and starts to smash it over Flair’s back. Flair is helpless in the ring. Cena goes to the outside once again and places Flair on the commentator’s table. This draws major boos from the crowd. He goes to launch Flair onto the table but Flair reverses it and ends up launching Cena over the table instead taking out the commentators.

The crowd cheer as they sense a comeback for Flair. Flair now gets his chance to get some offense in as Cena struggling to get up after going over the table. Flair grabs Cena and rolls him back inside he hits him with some nice offence. Chopblock after chopblock. He is working the leg in the hope he can lock on the Figure four. Cena again rolls out of the ring and attempts to get a steel chair. Flair just continues the fight outside the ring including sending Cena into the steel steps. Flair then tries to fire Cena into the steel ring post but Cena reverses it and launches Niatch into the ring post instead. Flair gets busted open and we see that Ric Flair crimson one more time.

Flair hits many more chops, clocking a count of about 200. Cena’s chest is red raw. Cena is struggling to escape Flair. He hops over the security railing into the crowd but is quickly followed by Flair. Flair grabs hold of Cena but Cena spits into the face of the vertern. Cena grabs the bloodied Flair and throws him violently into the wall. He grabs Flair again to throw him in the wall but Flair reverses it and throws Cena into the wall. The pair make their way back to ringside with Flair looking like he has the upperhand.

Cena is struggling and is set up by Flair who goes to the top rope but is thrown off by Cena. Cena gets totally pushed up and steel chair which is passed to him by Sherri. He starts to destroy Flair. It is to their hero and it’s very OTT but the crowd love it. Flair just about ducks a near shot and the chiar springs off the ropes and bumps Cena in the face. Knocking him silly. Flair gets Cena to his feet and guides him down to the ramp. He hits Cena with a piledriver on the ramp. The pair stumble back to the ring and when they both get back in they are both on their knees punching each other as the crowd boo and cheer alternatively. Flair slowly gets to his feet after the beating but as soon as he does Cena executes a vicious clothesline that sends Flair off to gives us a vintage Flair tumble to the mat. He picks up Flair and Drives him with serious gusto with a bone crunching FU. Cena covers Flair and the ref counts the pinfall attempt. Flair kicks out just before the third count. Cena can’t believe it. There really is so much life in the old dog. Cena still shocked goes to pick up Ric for another FU. As he does the dirtiest player in the game who swiftly lands a nut splitting low blow and then rolls up Cena for 1.2.3. Flair has done it. He is still the champ and beat off the pretender that is John Cena.
After the bell Cena goes to attack Flair with Sherri but Flair ducks the onslaught and for the twenty time starts to light up Cena’s chest with chops. He is going berserk. Sherri rolls out of the rings and drags her bloodied boyfriend up the ramp. He looks on at a victorious Flair who shout YOU WILL NEVER BEAT DA MAN!!!!!!!

NOW.
THEN.
FOREVER.

icw.com Exclusive Dark Match
“Twisted” Teddy Hart v. Zema Ion v. Rey Bucanero
Winner Qualifies for the SuperFlyweight Championship match tonight.

Preview Vignette

• Juventud Guerrera wins the ICW SuperFlyweight Championshipin controversial fashion. He issues an open challenge for the next 4 weeks.
• Guerrera defeats Teddy Hart to retain the championship in Week 3. After the match however, Último Guerrero kidnaps Teddy Hart. He is not seen for a week, until Los Guerreros del Infierno park their car at the Phones 4U Arena in Manchester, where Teddy escapes, clearly suffering psychological damage from the ordeal.
• Último Guerrero challenges Juventud Guerrera to a fight at Grandslam for the title; Juventud accepts.
• ”Twisted” Teddy Hart demands to be added to the match. Michael Cole sets up the qualifying match.

The Match

A solid ten-minute match in which Zema Ion and Rey Bucanero show off their aerial/technical/comical abilities, while ‘Twisted’ Teddy Hart’s psychological problems are on display for all to see. Like a smaller, athletic Ultimate Warrior, Twisted Teddy is simply too erratic in the ring for the other two to handle. He wins the match with a pin on Rey Bucanero off a moonsault.

’Twisted’ Teddy Hart wins (via pinfall) and has qualified for the SuperFlyweight Championship Match.

Opening
We open to a full and colourful Plaza de Toros de las Ventas in Madrid, Spain! The familiar-looking Spanish Announcer is in the ring to say… ”Señoras y señores: Bienvenidos a Grandslam Diez! Welcome to Grandslam Ten!”

Cue fireworks followed by the Opening Sequence…

Hello Ladies and Gentlemen from the Las Ventas Bullring in Madrid, Spain! We have a packed crowd here tonight standing at 28’990! Here to play the Spanish National Anthem, the Madrid Symphony Orchestra!...

*After That*

Face and Heel kick us of for real with a discussion on the night’s card. All of the championships of ICW are being contested tonight in one way or another. Heel Announcer can’t wait to see the League sweep up the silverware and strip Scott Hall of his American Title! Face tells him he’s obsessed, but it’s sure going to be hard to pick a winner in that match.

Michael Cole will be joined by Billy Graham to help save his Chairmanship in a 2 out of three falls match, and Scottish Insane Championship Wrestling’s ‘Grado’ will be taking on Colt Cabana. What a joke, says Heel.

Up first, the only title match in which no League member is participating. The winner of the pre-show match, ‘Twisted’ Teddy Hart, has qualified to participate…

Match 1: A Challenge Answered
Juventud Guerrera v. Último Guerrero v. ’Twisted’ Teddy Hart
ICW SuperFlyweight Championship
Triple-Threat Match

Preview Vignette
***Pretty much the same as the vignette for the dark match, with more emphasis on Juventud and Último.***

Último is doing a good job of being physically intimidating while just he and Juventud share the ring. They promo against each other in Spanish for the sake of the home crowd. Whatever they’re saying, it looks emotionally charged.

The Match

Twisted Teddy is scaring him, however, and with good reason. Teddy and Último have a furious one-on-one with each other during which Teddy goes for the pin. Último kicks out and Teddy goes to the turnbuckles. Último catches up to him and delivers an inverted superplex!
Último and Juventud fight while Teddy goes to the outside. Teddy gets himself disqualified from the match by taking a jagged pipe to the head of Útimo Guerrero! EMTs come rushing out to surround Teddy and rid him of the weapon! Twisted Teddy is dragged backstage by a crowd of EMTS, security and spare referees!

Juvetud waits for Último to get up and attempts a Juve Driver, but Último fights out of it. Último attempts to lock Juventud in a Gory special but its not happening – the two exchange strikes and armdrags as they keep up the pace around the ring. Último attempts a moonsault but Juventud rolls underneath his flying body and delivers a moonsault of his own! Juventud attempts a Juve Lock but its not nearly successful enough.

Último Guerrero attempts to pin Juventud from a hurricanrana but it isn’t enough. Juventud goes once again for the Juve Driver, this time landing it. Going up top, Juventud hits the 450° splash and makes the pin for the win.

Juventud Guerrera wins (via pinfall on Último Guerrero) and remains the ICW SuperFlyweight Champion. ‘Twisted’ Teddy Hart DQed.

Backstage Interview: The League
Christopher Daniels welcomes the interviewer to the League’s dedicated Grandslam bar in their executive suite on the top tier of Las Ventas. Daniels offers the interviewer a “Grandslam” cocktail. It’s Grande and you slam it. He tells the interviewer and the arena that the Tag-Team Titles are here to stay, the Overseas Championship will still be around Bobby Roode’s waist by the end of the night, and Christopher Daniels will be walking out of Grandslam X as the International Heavyweight Champion! That’s basically the gist as the League get pumped up for their respective matches later tonight.

Match 2: Once in a Weekend
Colt Cabana v. Grado

Preview Vignette

Tensions have risen in the recent past between International Championship Wrestling and Insane Championship Wrestling, a Glasgow promotion. Twice now, the two have met in Manchester, with event security preventing the Insane Championship Wrestling lads from entering the arena the first time. The 2nd time they couldn’t prevent an intrusion and Grado himself jumped the barricade to challenge Colt Cabana to a match for the right to use the initials “ICW.”
Grado’s F-5 to Colt may have been meant as encouragement. Colt didn’t see it that way, and had the rematch commissioned for Grandslam X. The right to use the initials, however, isn’t up for grabs. As revenge for the F-5, Colt last week almost put Grado out of action completely with two really mean nipple pinches. There was even a bit of twist. Ouch!

Some would say this isn’t the place for such a match. Face and Heel are indeed some, and do say precisely that as Colt Cabana enters the Bullring to cheers from the crowd. The lights are dimmed for Grado’s entrance…

Las Ventas sings along to the sweet sound of pirated Madonna. Heel Announcer instantly changes his mind – he loves Grado! As Grado enters the ring, Colt is already dancing and the two of them jive to Like A Prayer. The love-in is cut short however as Colt pulls Grado into an Irish whip and the referee signals for the bell to ring…

The Match

Colt ducks under Grado a few times before locking in his sinister first attack – a nipple pinch! Grado is in quite a bit of pain under this hold, and the referee seeks a submission but is loudly told to “knob off will ye?” by Grado.

The match mostly proceeds on a semi-comedic basis with the odd unlikely athletic spot, such as Grado executing a Senton Bomb. Other highlights include Colt forcing Grado to drink some of the Spanish fizzy drink, Bitter Kaz, after which he throws up next to the Announcer tables.

Chants of “Colt Cabana! It’s Yersel!” echo through the arena!

Colt, however, gets the pin, after reversing Grado’s final F-5 attempt into a Neckbreaker.

Colt Cabana wins (via pinfall)

Colt and Grado hug and make up and then celebrate in the ring with cans of Bitter Kas. Ugh!

Match #3: Who Leads ICW?

Michael Cole & Billy Graham v. John Laurinaitis & Shane Douglas
Special Guest Referee: Magnum TA
Magnum TA will support the Winner as Chairman
2 Out of 3 Falls Match

Preview Vignette

Michael Cole became Chairman of the International Championship Council (and thus ICW) about 15 months ago, and has face an uphill battle ever since. Initially despotic and unpopular, Cole attempted to prevent the rise of Superstar Billy Graham, almost losing his job [See 2013 Draft]. The first signs that all were not well with the Championship Council came when Christopher Daniels cut a deal with someone on the council, convincing them to add him to the Grandslam IX main event.
3 months later at Dirty Dozen, the debuting Mr. Perfect shot to the top of the roster to become #1 contender, with the assistance of Shane Douglas. Cole’s attempts to discipline these two forced the conniving John Laurinaitis to show his face as the Leader of the Minority and the man who wanted Cole’s job.
For the last 9 months, Cole’s efforts to manage the promotion have suffered constant interference and threats from John Laurinaitis. Laurinaitis, in his quest to crown a friendly International Champion and sway the Council majority to support him, has altered multiple main events and title matches.
Not until confiding in his former nemesis Billy Graham, did Cole have a way of dealing with Laurinaitis. Since then, a tougher Michael Cole has stood up to the pretender. This earned him a chair shot to the face two weeks ago, after which Laurinaitis disastrously negotiated a Legends Title rematch and a change to the Grandslam main event.
This incident has brought the two to the brink, with a motion of no-confidence resulting in a tied vote. Enter Magnum TA to reveal himself as the mystery Councillor. To stop this once and for all, Magnum TA has commissioned a match between the two and their chosen representatives on the roster. Winner takes the Chairmanship of the Council and Leadership of the Company.

Special Guest Referee and the man who commissioned the match, Magnum TA, enters the ring first. He’s limping slightly but still has the cane if needs be. Heel Announcer thinks he should have stayed home, while Face admires his guts. Michael Coles enters next, followed by the Dynamic Dudes who enter together. John Laurinaitis has dyed his hair bleach blonde and is sprting some pink ankle-length pants. Billy Graham is last out and is clad in his best tie dye. The crowd might not have completely forgiven Billy for losing the Legends Title to CWA but he’s still getting the loudest reaction of the night so far as he makes his way to the ring.

Fall #1: Billy Graham v. Shane Douglas

Graham has a clear advantage over Douglas in this match. Though Douglas looks at some times like he might break into his stride he never really does. Graham picks up the win off the back of an Airplane slam.
Magnum TA counts the pins with taps of his cane.

Billy Graham scores the fall (via pinfall)

Michael Cole looks uncertain about what he’s about to do. He strips down to a MacMahon-like tank top and trousers deal (no red onesie in sight).

Fall #2: Michael Cole v. John Laurinaitis

John Laurinaitis could wrestle at one point, and Michael Cole couldn’t, and that’s basically the jist of this match as Cole is beaten down by a man who knows simply how to grapple correctly and throw opponents around a ring. Graham’s encouragement from the side of the ring doesn’t seem to magically enable Michael Cole to do anything though, and John Laurinaitis wins the match with a lifting DDT and a pin.
Laurinaitis argues with Magnum TA throughout the match.

John Laurinaitis scores the fall (via pinfall)

What comes next is going to be considerably more extreme then either of those two matches! Magnum TA invites all four competitors into the ring and signals for the bell!

Fall #3: Michael Cole & Billy Graham v. John Laurinaitis & Shane Douglas (No Disqualification Tornado Tag-Team Match)

Graham goes straight for John Laurinaitis but is intercepted by Shane Douglas. The two pairs brawl, with the winners of the two falls winning their prospective brawls. John Laurinaitis goes straight under the ring to pick out a kendo stick to hit Micheal Cole with. Shane Douglas obviously isn’t enough a distraction because Billy Graham appears behind Laurinaitis and snatches the stick out of his hand. He isn’t impressed!

Later in the match, Laurinaitis has cracked! He’s screaming at Magnum TA that none of this was necessary, as Billy Graham lifts Shane Douglas for a piledriver! Graham goes for the pin…

1…

2…

Oh, what? Magnum’s cane has been taken off him by Laurinaitis, who throws it into the crowd!

Heel Announcer yells to Laurinaitis to remember who’s pulling the strings tonight! Laurinaitis doesn’t like the intervention and makes his way over to the Announcers Table! He removes one of the heavy monitors from the table and goes looking for Michael Cole with it! Billy Graham tries to take it off Laurinaitis but he aims a brilliant shot to Graham’s face with the heavy monitor, causing the big man to collapse to the floor – out cold! Michael Cole appears around the other side of the ring to rouse Graham, but Laurinaitis has him in his sights now.

Magnum TA insists that Laurinaitis put the monitor down, but Laurinaitis attacks him too! What is the world coming to? Face Announcer tries to get Laurinaitis to stop, only to get a shot to the head himself! There are bodies strewn everywhere! Next its Heel Announcer – he had something to say too! The commentary completely silent, we see Michael Cole appear around the bag of Laurinaitis – a steel chair in hand – and the chairshot to the back constitutes the revenge Cole had been looking for for two weeks! Laurinaitis drops the monitor in agony having been hit with the chair! Cole hits him again and Laurinaitis slumps over the English-speaking Announcers Table! Now Michael Cole is… going up the turnbuckle?

He’s doing it, he’s really doing it!

Michael Cole LEAPS from the turnbuckle onto the announcer table, smashing John Laurinaitis right through it!!

Chants of “Holy ****!” or its Spanish equivalent as the crowd rubs their eyes to make sure what they just saw was real – Michael Cole diving from the turnbuckle on the announcer table with John Laurinaitis on the receiving end!

In the remnants of the table, Cole covers Laurinaitis, and a stirring Magnum TA counts to 3!

Billy Graham and Michael Cole score the fall (via Cole pinfall on Laurinaitis) and win the match.

With no active announcers we watch without narration as the referee Magnum TA lifts Michael Cole’s hand. Cole starts suiting back up and immediately yells at security to get John Laurinaitis out of the Arena, and they drag him away from ringside to loud support from the crowd, who are happy to see the back of Johnny Ace. EMTs help carry the two announcers to the back.

Backstage Interview: Mr. Perfect
Mr. Perfect is disappointed about that result but the fact is if he’d have been in the ring it would’ve been a different story – but that’s not what he wants to talk about – what he wants to talk about is 60 minutes of pain, endurance and art in tonight’s main event. Christopher Daniels isn’t of the calibre to be in this match and though Edge is good, he’s not Perfect like Mr. Perfect. And soon he won’t be the champion any more, unlike Mr. Perfect – who will make the Perfect Champion, regardless of who’s Chairman of the company!

Backstage Interview: Scott Hall
Well, it is nice to see that kind of passion in a main event contender. Mr Perfect, I don’t believe he got to the main event by conventional means, but uhh, I think he’ll make a good contender.

My opponent tonight, however, is Bobby Roode. Bobby shows no passion, no respect, and no care for this company, this industry, this sport. I don’t know what he’s in it for, but it isn’t to be the best – maybe it’s to be the big fish in the small pond. I dunno what it is. What I do know, is that tonight will be his last as ICW Overseas Heavyweight Champion.

Pre-Match
Ladies and Gentlemen, Please welcome the replacement announcers for this evening… Michael Cole! The newly secure Chairman looks relaxed if somewhat battered and in pain as he makes his way to the remains of the Announcer’s Table. Colt Cabana too comes out looking pretty happy with himself. The two of them will pick up the commentary from here, given Face and Heel’s terrible accidents with the monitors earlier.

Match 4: Break Down the Walls
Kazarian & Matt Sydal (The League – C) v. Double Kong
International Tag-Team Championships

Preview Vignette

At ICW Turmoil!, Kazarian and Matt Sydal entered and left the Turmoil! match as International Tag-Team Champions – the first team to retain their titles at Turmoil! in 4 years. That very same moment however saw the explosive debut of Double Kong - Awesome Kong and Aja Kong – as they attacked and overpowered the champions.
Since then, Double Kong have tried to show that they are worthy of men’s competition, but have been thwarted by interruptions and threats from the highest offices of the company and network.
Tonight, Awesome Kong and Aja Kong will get the chance they have so long waited for – to prove in the ring that there is nothing to keep them apart from the men’s roster, and nothing or no-one to keep them from becoming International Tag-Team Champions.
For Kazarian and Matt Sydal, this match is theirs to defend their championships and prove that their taunts to the women in previous weeks were not merely a veil for their inadequacy. Do not underestimate these two, who have held the belts for 4 months and proved themselves the best against 7 other tag-teams just 5 weeks ago.

The Match

A typical enough tag-team match in which the League try to prevent Awesome Kong from tagging Aja Kong in. After about 7 minutes of one-sided double-teaming, Awesome Kong finally makes the tag and the match reaches a frantic climax. One more tag each and all hell breaks loose, with the referee unable to control the match! Double Kong double-team Kazarian with a diving elbow/powerbomb combination to get the pin! We have new Tag-Team Champions!

Double Kong wins (via Awesome Kong pin on Kazarian)

Backstage Interview: Edge
No questions are finished before Edge begins his promo. Take it from me, he says, he knows that upcoming stipulation, the 60 minute match, is going to wear down, if not destroy, all three competitors. He knows that he has no champions’ advantage, with 2 opponents tonight. He knows that there’s no love to be lost between any of the three. He also knows that he’s been champion for 6 months. He knows that he hasn’t been pinned in 6 months. He knows that he will be remembered as a great champion IF he can retain his championship on the Grandest stage of them all, the Grandslam, and he knows that his determination is enough to see him finish the night –and after tonight he knows he will go on to dominate this company and this championship. No one will take it from him.

Match 5: The Soul of Wrestling

Preview Vignette

Bobby Roode became ICW Overseas Heavyweight Champion 9 months ago at Here Be Monsters in front of a home crowd. Immediately following one of the proudest moments in his career, he helped Christopher Daniels retain the International Championship and would the next night be initiated into the League. Roode maintains that the latter event was more of a landmark than the former.
Meanwhile, a veteran of the business, Scott Hall, emerged as a strong ICW American Heavyweight Champion later in the year. Hall has maintained a strong position in the division, bringing a prestige to the American Championship that had been sorely lacking since Christopher Daniels himself vacated it [again, see draft 2013].
But what was a reward in itself for Hall was not for Roode, and despite winning the Survival of the Fittest match and having the chance to challenge Edge for the International Championship at Grandslam X, Roode chose to put that chance on the line in a match to challenge Daniels for the leadership of the League. The SOTF match only comes around once a year, and Roode still didn’t seem to appreciate his own achievement.
Scott Hall has vowed to strip Roode of his championship for lacking respect in the company and the sport. Hall admits he is no angel, but knows ICW’s top prizes to be worth far more than the leadership of a heel cult.
To add insult to injury, it was Roode who invited the rival promoter Campo in to an ICW arena, changing things in the company for the worse and threatening its very survival.
Tonight, Scott Hall seeks to teach Bobby Roode what it is to earn and respect an ICW Championship. Bobby Roode is up for the challenge, and wants to show Hall that his ‘soft’ ways have no home in professional wrestling.
As neither man is eligible for the others’ championship, this match will vacate the championship held by the loser, rather than award it to the winner. With nothing to gain and everything to lose, theis bout is going to be even more personal!

Scott Hall soaks in the atmosphere as he prepares to wrestle his first match at Grandslam. This is a big occasion for him and everyone can tell. Bobby Roode's manner couldn't be more different, his physical entrance somewhat mistimed with his music, he looks straight ahead to the ring and Scott Hall, and breaks into a run...

The Match

The fight is on! Roode showers Hall with punches and rounds off with a DDT. He goes for the early pin but Hall kicks out on 1. Now it's Hall's turn and he beats Roode across the ring finishing with a discus punch and lariat. Likewise Hall goes for the pin but Roode kicks out. The two immediately start on each other again, exchanging blows. Roode gets the upperhand and floors Hall with a spinning side suplex! He pushes Hall into the corner and they again exchange strikes, but Hall has the upperhand and whips Roode to the opposite corner! Roode falls to the ground and Hall somewhat optimisticallly pins him. Roode kicks out at 2 but s the referee turns to signal the twoooo count Roode gives Hall a low blow.

From there on Roode has the advantage and doesn't let up. Hall is victim to a spinebuster, a diving knee drop, and a suplex to the outside where he is subsequently whipped into the corner steps.

Hall attempts a comeback at this stage with a few punches and a knee to the face, he puts Roode in the ring and goes for more punches, but as he goes for an ill-advised discus punch Roode grapples Hall from behind and performs a german suplex! Roode goes for the cover...

1...

2...

Hall kicks out! But he looks in pain from that suplex - no time to worry though as Roode lays into his kneeling opponent with low kicks. As Hall falls to the floor in pain Roode gets behind him and locks in a crossface. Hall looks determined and breaks out of the hold!

They exchange strikes again! Hall floors Roode with a Lariat and brings him back up for a bulldog but Roode has countered it and now lifts Hall for a Neckbreaker! Roode goes for the pin again, surely now? 1...

2...

3...

No! Hall kicked out! Roode protests that it was a 3-count! Colt Cabana thinks it was. Michael Cole says 2 3/4 probably. The match goes on and Roode attacks Hall's head with elbow strikes and lifts him for beating. This goes on for some minutes until Roode goes for the Pay Off, but Hall has wriggled free! He lands behind Roode and gives him a belly-to-back suplex to the canvass! Roode stirs and Hall hits a fallaway slam! He goes for the pin...

1...

2... but Roode has kicked out. Hall is going to have to do more to win this match. Hall is struggling on his feet and when Roode gets up from the pin the lariat Hall gives him looks laboured, almost like a spear, and the two fall to the ground. Hall puts his arm over Roode for the pin again and again its a 2-count as Roode spasms to get his shoulder's off the mat.

Hall gets up and leans on the ropes, looking to the crowd. He stamps his feet to get a clap going and points to the Grandslam signs above the ring! Roode stirs and Hall gets behind him to deliver the bulldog to rapturous applause! He lifts Roode and punches him some more, gives him a discus punch, whips him to the ropes and lifts him for a crucifix powerbomb! The crowd go wild!

But Roode reverses, pulling hall into a cradle! They break and its Roode up first- he gives Hall a signature Lariat to the back of the head! Now its Roode who sets up for his finisher, pulling Hall up for a Roode Bomb, but Hall counters and he's on his feet, whipping Roode to the ropes to set up the powerbomb again!

Roode rolls under Hall's grapple however and from behind sets Hall up for his finisher. With Hall on his shoulders, Roode yells "Say hello to the Bad Guy!" before executing the Roode Bomb! Roode goes for the pin!

1!

2!

3! It's all over! Roode has won!

Bobby Roode wins (via pinfall) and remains the ICW Overseas Heavyweight Champion. Scott Hall vacates the ICW American Heavyweight Championship.

Scott Hall can’t believe it! He gets up to shake Bobby Roode’s hand, but Roode doesn’t offer his in return. Roode collects both Championship belts and poses with them in the ring! Hall leaves the ringside area while Roode has his fun. Ultimately, Roode leave the referee with the American Championship, and proudly heads to the back with his Overseas Title again around his waist.

Backstage Interview: Double Kong
New International Tag-Team Champions Double Kong are here to let the world know that tonight was only the start! There’s no reason why the two of them can’t rise right to the top of this game, now that they’ve proven what they can do with the chance, they say. Be Warned, ICW! Kong coming for you!

The Main Event Match: The Ultimate Test

Preview Vignette

The road to this match has been long and unforgiving. The Highway to Grandslam ends here.

The Champion. Edge has seen of all challengers in an eventful tenure as International Champion. Not only has he consistently retained the title, but he also deprived John Laurinaitis of his shoes. His hunger to win meant that within a couple of months of entering International Championship Wrestling, he was #1 contender and then International Heavyweight Champion. While the line-up of tonight’s main event has changed a few times, we have always known that Edge would be in it, and in it to win it. Tonight he has no advantage. He faces the Ultimate Test a Champion can face in the 3-Way Iron Man Match.

The Challenger. Mr Perfect has had his eye on the top prize since debuting in ICW at Dirty Dozen. If it weren’t for Edge, he might’ve won the championship against Daniels long ago. If it weren’t for Daniels, he might’ve captured it from Edge. Perfect has resorted to tactics typical of a desperate star needy of success, and yet he has not yet claimed any silverware in ICW. His rivalry with Daniels has turned into a vicious cycle of assault and reprisal. Perfect earned his way into this match with a victory over Daniels, but who knows how the long match will affect him. This stipulation was his choice, will it be his undoing?

The Fallen Angel. League Leader Christopher Daniels has twice managed to put himself into this main event. Just like last year, he faces a Triple-Threat match for the International Championship. Christopher Daniels knows Grandslam better than either of the other two competitors – perhaps that will give him the Edge. He’s lost his cool plenty of times before though, especially with Mr. Perfect. The two of them have exchanged interruptions, assaults and pinfalls over the last year. Mr. Perfect is billing himself as the better wrestler to go the distance. Daniels is known for his flair and imagination in the ring, but this may not serve him well in such a long match…

All three men put their careers on the line tonight in the first ever 3-way 60 Minute Iron Man Elimination Match!

A live band plays the two challengers Mr. Perfect and Daniels in. They momentarily square up in the ring, but even for them this is an occasion that requires some quiet concentration before the bell rings and they retreat to opposite corners.

It is the rockband Alter Lingus that hammers out Edge’s own entrance theme. He’s ecstatic and pumped for the occasion. Instead of heading straight down the aisle to the ring he hops the barrier and does a full circle run of the bullring behind the crowd – a pre-match lap of honour for this first time Grandslam main eventer!

The rules of this match: Those scoring a pin or submission scores 1 point. For the first 30 minutes, a person who is pinned or submits loses 1 point. Similarly, anyone being disqualified, counted out or unable to answer a 10-count will lose 1 point. After 30 minutes, the superstar with the fewest points will be eliminated, and the match will then continue with standard 1-on-1 Iron Man scoring (i.e. no one loses points). After 60 minutes, the superstar with the most points will be crowned International Heavyweight Champion. There will be three referees at ringside.

The Match – 0-10 Minutes

An unusual start to a triple-threat match in that the two heels go straight for each other. Perfect has already suplexed Daniels before Edge can get to them. Edge attacks Perfect and the two exchange blows and clotheslines. The pace is fast at the off and all three men remain in the ring taking powerful bumps in the first 2-3 minutes.
Christopher Daniels is looking the weakest of the three, and he almost looks like he’s going to submit to Perfect’s early figure-four leglock on 5 minutes, but he gets to the rope and Edge breaks it up. Daniels thereafter leaves the ring. An official starts to count him out as Edge and Perfect lock up in the ring. Edge is sent to the ropes and comes back with a Plancha on Perfect.
Daniels gets back in the ring to break up the pin but Perfect kicks out anyway. Edge and Perfect then double-team Daniels – ending the spot by taking turns kicking him in the chest as he kneels up.
As Edge goes to kick Daniels, Perfect grabs his other leg, dragging Edge to the floor onto his face. Edge holds his face and rolls out of the ring… Perfect hits Daniels with a forearm smash and goes for the pin…

1…

2…

Daniels kicks out! Looked like we had the first pin there but no! Daniels too gets out of the ring and the attention of the referees is on Edge. Leaning on the apron, his face looks busted open pretty bad from what Perfect just did .
Perfect isn’t impressed at being the only person in the ring and goes outside to get Daniels, who is cowering by the steps.
It’s a ploy however, and Daniels swings around to hit Perfect with a metal pipe! The referees don’t see it as they’re attending to Edge (yes, it takes all three).
Daniels slides Perfect into the ring and yells for a referee. He makes the pin:

1…

2…

3! Daniels lands the first pin of the match after 8 minutes! Perfect is bleeding from his head… ouch!
Edge returns to the ring and prevents Daniels from trying for another pin on Mr. Perfect. The two square up and lock up…

Scores after 10 minutes: Daniels (1) Edge (0) Mr. Perfect (-1).

11 – 20 Minutes

The pace of the match slows somewhat. Mr. Perfect recovers from his head trauma, while Edge and Daniels put on an athletic display of technique and cunning. Edge has the upper hand on Daniels still and gives him his first finisher of the evening when he springs a Spear from the 2nd rope on Daniels. The pin is interrupted by Mr. Perfect, who instead picks Christopher Daniels up and delivers the Perfect-Plex. Edge puts Perfect down again with an Edgecution and goes to cover him…

1…

2…

Perfect kicks out! He’s still in this match! Edge goes to cover Daniels instead and again there’s a two count. The pain is too much for Daniels it seems and after a prolonged resistance he taps out! Edge gets the point!

That doesn’t change anything from Perfect’s point of view but he’s pissed nonetheless that he couldn’t pin Daniels himself! He attacks Edge, whips him to the ropes and gives him a body slam. He drops to pin Edge…

1…

2…

Daniels interferes! A kick to the head and Perfect is seriously hurting! He looks at Daniels like he wants to kill him and the two up the tempo against each other as the match turns toward a brawl. Perfect is getting the better of Daniels again and eventually delivers another Perfect-Plex! Michael Cole declares it “Vintage Perfect!” and shots are downed in bars and living rooms across the globe.

Perfect goes for the pin…

1…

2…

An interference from Edge breaks it up! Perfect is livid! He spears Edge through the ropes and they both go falling to the outside! Edge is in serious trouble on the outside – knocked out of the ring by his own move!

Scores After 20 Minutes: Edge (1) Christopher Daniels (0) Mr. Perfect (-1)

21 – 30 Minutes

Mr. Perfect re-enters the ring on the outside. Edge is being counted out. Perfect attacks Daniels and the two of them are back at each other’s throats. Edge makes it in on the count of 9, but now he’s being counted out as he lies on the ring canvas.

Daniels rolls out of the ring to get away from a dominant Perfect. Edge makes it to his feet on the count of 8. Perfect gets a hold of Daniels and throws him back in the ring. Out of nowhere Daniels delivers the reverse STO but can’t lock in the accompanying Koji Clutch. Edge desperately clotheslines Daniels as he gets up. Edge technically has Daniels pinned by falling on him but Perfect kicks Edge in the head to break it up.

Edge didn’t like that. He goes for Perfect but gets a Cross Armbreaker for his troubles. Edge is screaming in pain as Perfect holds on for dear life! A referee is asking Edge does he want to give up, but he’s determined not to it seems! He’s reaching for the rope as best he can and finally grabs a hold. Perfect keeps the armbreaker locked in until the count of 4. Edge rolls around in agony after that. Daniels is on his feet…

Perfect almost walks into another reverse STO but stands his ground and gives Daniels an Atomic Drop! Daniels is crawling to the apron but Perfect drags him back to the middle of the ring to cheers from the audience! Perfect puts Daniels in a figure-four leglock! Is Christopher Daniels going to tap again?!? He screams in agony but, like Edge, reaches the ropes!

Perfect drags Daniels back into the middle of the ring again and again locks in the figure-four leglock!

On the outside, Edge is looking miserable. He pulls something from underneath the ring – it’s a chair! What is going on here? Daniels has once again reached the ropes and Perfect let’s go, lifting him for a final Perfect-Plex surely! Perfect is about to make the cover but Edge is behind him with a chair!!

Reacting to the crowd, Perfect turns around to get a chairshot to the face! The ring bell is rung but Edge continues to hit Perfect with the chair as he attempts to crawl out of the ring. Edge drops the chair and pulls Perfect back into the ring. Perfect groggily gets up and Edge smashes him in the face with the chair again! The Ring bell goes again! Edge has lost another point, and the crowd are screaming and booing! What the hell is their hero doing?!

Edge covers Perfect. 1, 2, 3. And regains one of his points. The buzzer goes for 30 minutes, and Mr. Perfect with -2 points is eliminated!

Scores after 30 Minutes: Christopher Daniels (0) Edge (0) Mr. Perfect (-2). Mr. Perfect has been eliminated.

31 – 40 Minutes

Mr. Perfect is helped out of the ring by EMTs, he doesn’t know what’s happened, just that he’s being led away… meanwhile Edge turns his attention to Christopher Daniels and the look on his face is demonic. Edge pins Daniels…

1…

2…

3… Edge has regained the two points he lost in as many minutes. Cole and Colt figure it was a strategy to get rid of Perfect, who had been leading the match in those last ten minutes but couldn’t land a fall. Risky, points out Colt.

Edge celebrates to the crowd on the turnbuckle in his trademark pose, but the crowd reaction is very much mixed, and there’s a few crying kids out there now.

Edge isn’t in the humour for a mixed reaction, and he heads back down to pin Daniels again!

1…

2…

No! Daniels kicks out of the pin! Edge goes for the Sharpshooter again, like before! Daniels is quickly able to grab a rope and Edge is forced to let go. Daniels pulls himself to the outside and he looks done – from Perfect’s barrage and the expectation of what Edge is about to do.

Edge awaits him in the ring. Daniels gets to his feet and has trouble comprehending the situation. A referee tells him that Perfect was eliminated, and the score is 1-0 to Edge.

Daniels rather bravely (or stupidly) climbs back on to the apron. Edge isn’t even being subtle about the spear he’s about to give him. Daniels stumbles down the apron to the corner. The two eye each other up. Whether he’s brave or stupid, he’s very much one – Daniels begins to climb the turnbuckle!

Edge runs upt the turnbuckle and grapples Daniels. The two struggle for a few moments, before Edge superplexes Daniels into the ring! Edge is up first and he whips Daniels to the turnbuckle hard. He kicks Daniels a bit and whips him to the other turnbuckle, this time so hard that Daniels goes over the ropes! He’s down on the outside and he’s more or less out cold! Edge climbs the turnbuckle above where Daniels is lay and looks down while the refs count Daniels out.

On 7 Daniels grabs onto the apron, on 8 he’s getting up… on 9 he’s on his feet but he’s fallen again! The referee counts 10 and Daniels has been counted out!

But lookie here, its Overseas Champion Bobby Roode come out to help Christopher Daniels! Roode starts talking to Daniels, helping him up to his feet. Edge shouts at the referees to get Roode away from Daniels and start counting him out again. With some reluctance, the referees do just that, urging Roode back and starting another ten count.

Daniels is back in the ring on 5 but Roode drags him back out almost as soon as he’s in! Edge is angry as hell at Roode! Roode talks to Daniels some more as referees try to get him away. Eventually they’re all interrupted when Edge gives Roode a chairshot to the back!

Roode stumbles to the barricades and stands up to receive another chairshot, this time to the upper body! It sends Roode over the barricades and into the crowd. “Get out of my match!” Edge shouts after him.

Edge drops the chair and hurries into the ring to meet Daniels, who has regained some of his composure.

Scores After 40 Minutes: Edge (2) Christopher Daniels (0)

41 – 50 Minutes

The two exchange strikes, with Edge clearly still having more energy at first, but then Daniels seems to be getting his 2nd wind and he forces Edge into the corner! Daniels gives Edge an impressive Enzuigiri and the two are on the mat again. Its taxing for Daniels to get up but he does, and he collects Edge for Angel’s Wings! Out of the blue, a signature finishing manoeuvre! Daniels pins Edge!

1...

2…

A kick-out! A kick-out from his finisher! Daniels can’t believe it! Taking a leaf out of Edge’s book, Daniels takes advantage of Edge’s momentarily hgh leg to turn him over and lock in a Sharpshooter! My how things have changed, Daniels is in control now!

Edge forces his way out of the hold and uses the ropes to get to his feet, Daniels hits the opposite ropes to set up a plancha but Edge has launched himself off the second rope for a spear!

The match turned on its head again! Edge hooks the leg!

1…

2…

Thr-No! An interference! Mr. Perfect is back in the ring! He’s broken up the pin and he’s attacking both wrestlers indiscriminately! The ring bell goes twice, but who knows who for… Clearly Perfect still believes he should be in this match! Edge leaves the ring while Perfect concentrates on Daniels. Perfect lines up a spear but Daniels ducks/falls out of the way, sending Perfect crashing through the ropes and out of the ring.

As Perfect gets up Edge appears with yet another chair! The chairshots seemingly won’t end! Perfect collapses by the ringbell and Edge seems happy enough that we won’t be hearing from him again.

Back into the ring. Evenish brawl between the two. Daniels is building some momentum but now its Edge who breaks up the rhythm of the match by absconding the ring. The crowd are really starting to boo Edge now…

At one point Daniels leaves the ring seemingly with the purpose of bringing Edge back in, and the crowd cheers. It seems the balance of good will has changed in this match!

Scores after 50 Minutes: Edge (3) Christopher Daniels (1)

51 – 60 Minutes

After a while of avoidance tactics Daniels finally gets Edge in the ring and the two have a fast and furious exchange of clotheslines, armdrags and whatnot. Daniels knocks Edge to the floor and the action reaches its climax with his Best Moonsault Ever off the ropes onto Edge! He connects the BME and goes for the pin! 1, 2, 3!! He’s back in the game!!! Daniels has pinned Edge and now trails him by just one point!

The match is nearing its end now and the two seem to have expended themselves almost. Edge seems to get back into the swing of things and is aiming for Daniels’ legs, often knocking him to the floor. With 4 minutes left Edge locks in the Sharpshooter and Daniels’ screams can be heard from the top tier of the Arena!

Daniels looks done for but pushes out of the move eventually! Edge attempts to grapple Daniels but he’s pulled to the floor himself and Daniels locks in the Koji Clutch! We’ve seen him win so much with that hold in ICW before!

The crowd are behind Daniels! They want Edge to tap!

Edge rolls out and is first to his feet. Daniels is looking shaky on his legs as he gets up. Edge dropkicks Daniels in the shins and goes for the Sharpshooter again! Daniels holds his face in agony but kicks out! Edge goes to the ropes and leaps off them with a forearm smash to the rising Daniels!

Blood everywhere! Daniels’ face has been busted open! 2 Minutes to go in this match and Daniels needs a point!

But Edge is just clubbing Daniels in the face now! He can barely see, and he’s been knocked out of the ring! Edge is already celebrating…

…but Daniels is back in! He blocks an attack by Edge and grapples him for Angel’s Wings! He lands Angel’s Wings and Edge is down! Daniels for the pin!

1…

2…

3! We’re going to extra time!! Daniels pins Edge and equals the score! The arena is going wild!

Points after 60 Minutes: Edge (3) Christopher Daniels (3). The match goes to extra time!

Daniels is trying to wipe the blood away from his eyes. He’s disorientated and a bit joyous as the buzzer goes for 60 minutes. The announcers lets the crowd know that we’re going to extra time and the two go to lock up – but Edge grabs Daniels and tries for a roll-up!

It’s not successful but neither man is getting up now! These two have given it their all! Edge is no his knees behind Daniels and locks in an Ankle Lock! Of all the holds!

Daniels’ legs just can’t be up to this at this stage! He’s not tapping, he’s not tapping, but he’s not doing anything! The referee lifts his arm, no response.

He lifts it again…

No response. He lifts it again…

No response! Three times! The referee calls for the bell and the match is over! Christopher Daniels has seemingly collapsed from exhaustion in the midst of an ankle lock!

Edge retains the championship! The crowd are not happy with it one bit!

Edge wins 4-3 in extra time and remains the International Heavyweight Champion.

Christopher Daniels is being carried away by EMTs, basically unconscious and his face a mess of blood.

Edge celebrates in the bloodied ring with his championship belt. After some moments he climbs a turnbuckle and poses for the crowd. Fireworks go off around the edges of the Arena terraces, but the crowd aren’t cheering for Edge. As if in response, a criminal grin spreads across his face as he looks into the camera!

Good night everyone, this has been Grandslam X!

Lord TSC

We've got to call a halt at some stage, and with the deadline now passed, it's now time to start voting! I'll post this publically, AND I'll PM everyone later, just so everyone knows it's time to vote.

This year, same as last, I’m going to ask you to vote in two categories; “Best Roster” and “Best Write Ups”. The titles should be pretty clear; in Category One, you’re voting for who you think ended up with the strongest roster after the 15 rounds of draft picks. In Category Two, you’re voting for who you think wrote the strongest shows in the Evaluation thread.

Furthermore, the Overall Winner will be determined by adding the two points total together; the person who achieves the highest combined score will be declared the winner of the PW Draft 2014.

Also, THIS VOTING IS OPEN ONLY TO CONTESTANTS OF THE DRAFT!

All votes should be submitted to me VIA PRIVATE MESSAGE by Sunday 30th March at 23:59 (So you've got over a week to read and vote, including two weekends). Winners will be announced on Monday March 21st.

It should be clear, but I’ll say it as well; don’t vote for yourself please.

OLD SCHOOL CHAMPIONSHIP WRESTLING

Proudly Presents...

OLD SCHOOL RISING

Show is in Seattle, Washington.

Commentator 1: Good evening everyone and thank you very much for tuning in! We are in for a great show tonight! 5 matches, 4 titles to be decided!

Regal comes out to a big ovation, popular with the massively partisan Bryan Danielson crowd.

Regal salutes the fans and sits at ringside in a fancy leather chair.

Hardcore Rules match for the OCW North American Championship:

vs

Awesome comes out to a chorus of boos. Awesome shrugs them off and trash talks as he makes his way down the ring. He rummages under the ring and finds all kinds of weapons, chairs, kendo sticks, garbage cans, etc.

Fans pop for Storm.

C1: These fans remember the great match he had with Bryan Danielson and the respect they showed after.
C2: They remember two losers, something they share in common.
C1: Will you stop!

Storm looks focused and despite Awesome trash talking, screaming about how he's going to be champ, Storm doesn't back down and locks up with Awesome. Awesome overwhelms him with his power however and hurls Storm to the ground like a rag doll.

Awesome smiles and taunts Storm, not noticing Storm has reached for a kendo stick, Storm lashes out and catches Awesome right in the mid section. Awesome is reeling and Storm hammers him with the kendo stick some more, and then knocks Awesome down with the drop kick. He covers and gets a 2 count.

Storm brings the garbage cans in the ring and sets one up in the corner. He picks up Awesome and looks to Irish whip him into the can. Unfortunately for Storm, Awesome reverses and Storm goes head first into the can.

C2: What an idiot. Those Canadians.

Awesome quickly covers and gets a 2 count.

Crowd: WE WANT TABLES! WE WANT TABLES!

Awesome yells at the crowd, 'I don't give a s**t what you want!' and the crowd boo him in reply. Awesome smirks and grabs a steel chair. Storm slowly gets to his feet but he's instantly taken down again by a vile chair shot. Lucky for Storm, the force of the shot knocked him out of the ring.

C1: Oh man, I think Storm is hurt.
C2: Good. He can't get any uglier anyway.

Awesome relents and gets a table from under the ring. The crowd gets excited and they know what could be coming next. Awesome sets up the table on the outside and drags Storm back in.

C1: Oh no, not this.

Awesome looks for the Awesome Bomb, but Storm counters and lands a superkick, right on the button. Awesome looks completely knocked out. Storm looks for a pin, but he changes his mind and eyes up the table. He drags the lifeless Awesome outside and sets him up on the table. He climbs the turnbuckle and flies straight through Awesome.

Crowd: Holy ****! Holy ****! Holy ****!

Storm covers and gets the three count!

Storm celebrates and poses with the title, the crowd lapping it up.

Why these two and why book it like this: Awesome and Storm, two old school ECW guys, fits with my promotion. Storm was booked to win with a babyface winning and opening the show on a positive.

*Commercial*

Backstage segment.

Sara Del Rey is warming up in her lockeroom. There's a knock on the door.

SDR: Go away.

There's another knock. She relents and opens the door. It's Bryan Danielson. The crowd goes crazy.

BD: Hey.
SDR: What is it?
BD: I just wanted to wish you luck, and to talk. I saw what you and MsChif said last week. Is that how you want things to go down? Team up with her?
SDR: I'm doing it to win. We take out Melissa and then i'll deal with her.
BD: She can't be trusted! The second you turn your back on her, she'll stab you in the back. You know something, you've forgotten how you made your name, you've forgotten how I trained you. I trained you to kick ass and I trained you to do it the right way.
SDR: You done?
BD: (sighs) Yes, i'm done.

He shakes his head and walks away, looking disappointed.

Triple Threat Match for the OCW Womens Championship:

vs vs

Sara and MsChif look at each other, nod and corner Melissa. They start beating Melissa down in the corner. Melissa covers up and tries to fight back, but 2 v 1 has rarely ended well for anyone.

C1: This is disgraceful! It's a triple threat match, they're supposed to all fight each other! This is a damn handicap match!
C2: It's smart if you ask me. Take out one girl and you only have one to worry about.

Both girls continue to gang up on Melissa, double suplexing her. Sara goes for a cover but MsChif breaks it up. Both girls start arguing and shoving.

C1: And this is why you don't team up in a match like this.

Melissa takes advantage and double clotheslines both of them, she goes for the Kudo Driver on MsChif but she counters and backdrops Melissa. Sara is back up and MsChif starts screaming at her, 'Take that bitch out!'. Sara goes out and grabs a steel chair.

C1: No DQ in a triple threat, remember.

MsChif holds Melissa and Sara has the chair ready, she goes to swing but Melissa ducks and MsChif gets taken out instead. Melissa kicks Sara in the mid section and this time she lands the Kudo Driver.



She shrugs her shoulders and covers Sara for the 3 count.

Melissa celebrates and Sara slowly recovers, it looks like Bryan Danielsons words have finally hit home for her.

Why these girls and why book it like this: 3 of the most under-rated workers(not just females) of all time, all with a ton of history together. I wanted to mention Danielson's history training Del Rey and the match went the way it did to reflect that and well, Melissa is to me as AJ is to gnfrnhead :pac: And it seemed natural to have MsChif and SDRs "teamwork" blow up in their face.

*COMMERCIAL*

We are back at ringside and there are ladders, chairs and tables set up all around.

C2: I can't wait for this, let's have some carnage.

4 Way TLC Match for the OCW Tag Team Titles:

The Rhodes brothers come out to a great ovation. They shake hands and enter the ring, united.

All four teams start brawling all over the ring. Eliminators and Rhodesdust in one corner, Kota/Tajiri square off with Baretta and 2CS, no one really with an advantage. Saturn and Kronus both go for chairs but Cody and Goldust drop kick them right back into their faces. They show good teamwork and beat down both the other teams. Cody goes for a ladder on the outside and looks to set it up in the ring. Saturn stops him however with a stiff chairshot right in the back, and then drags him off the ladder.

Crowd: We want tables! We want tables!

C2: These idiots have been calling for tables all evening!

Saturn sets up a table in the ring, he signals for Kronus to climb to the top turnbuckle and lifts Cody onto his shoulders. Luckily for Cody, Goldust stops it and all four guys brawl to the outside. Tajiri and Kota again start fighting with Baretta and 2CS and gain the upperhand with their speed. Tajiri signals to Kota and he goes up top.



He lands a picture perfect corkscrew 450 splash on 2CS.

Tajiri shakes his head, he points to the ladder and moves it to a corner.

C1: Is he?

Tajiri points at Kota and then the ladder. The crowd cheers. Kota obliges and goes up.

C1: This is going to be bad for 2 Cold.

Kota scrambles to the top of ladder and lands another 450 splash from the top.

C2: We're gonna need a spatula to get whats left of 2 Cold Scorpio off the ring apron.

Cody comes back in and he hits Cross Rhodes on Tajiri

Saturn and Kronus are back in too and beat down Cody some, Goldust comes to help out his brother and once again it spills to the outside. Kota tries to take advantage and climb the ladder, but Cody rushes in and stops him. Goldust gets overwhelmed by Saturn and Kronus, Cody beats Kota into the corner and sets him up for a superplex.

Crowd: Holy ****! Holy ****! Holy ****!

All 5 guys are down and Baretta looks to climb the ladder and take advantage. Tajiri is back up though and climbs the other side. Both guys are on either side and trying to knock each other down. Goldust comes back in and pushes over the ladder, taking both guys out. Scorpio blindsides Goldust and takes him out with a chair shot. He sets up the ladder and starts to climb. Cody is back in and he springboards off the ladder and Disaster Kicks Scorpio straight off. Cody climbs the ladder and retrieves both titles!



Bodies are laid out everywhere and this match has taken its toll on everyone.

Why these guys and why I booked it like this: This match was kind of thrown together, I didn't have much time to build it really. Tajiri and Kota seemed a natural team, and Scorpio and Baretta needed something to do. Cody and Kota got most of the big spots as I wanted the young guys to come out with the spotlight.

*We see a video package hyping the next match, showing Pillmans attack on Buddy Rogers and Rogers attempts to get retribution.

Backstage. We're in a darkened room. Heavy breathing. The door opens and Brian Pillman leaves the room.

Grudge Match:

vs

Camera shows Regal still at ringside, calmy drinking some tea.

Pillman comes out to deafening heat. He is not a popular man. He tears up a 'Pillman sucks' sign at ringside and mouths off at the fans. He enters the ring and starts pacing, waiting for Rogers.

Rogers come out to a big pop. He takes his time coming out, Pillman rushes out to meet him and they start brawling on the ramp. Rogers gets the better of it and drags Pillman to the ring, and the bell rings. Pillman throws some right hands but Rogers charges him and takes him down, mounting Pillman and throwing lefts and rights, Pillman tries to cover up.

They keep brawling, the referee trying to get some semblance of order but he fails. They fight to the outside, Pillman rakes the eyes of Rogers and gains the advantage. He throws Rogers into the ring post. The referee screams at Pillman to get the match back in the ring but he simply flips off the official.

Pillman grabs Rogers and throws him right across the announce desk, right into William Regal, knocking him to the floor. Regal gets up and straightens his suit, he stares down at Pillman. Before Pillman can react, Rogers gets back on the offence and finally the match gets back in the ring. Pillman does the classic heel move, begging for Rogers to stop. Rogers moves towards him and Pillman simply low blows him, the referee calls for the bell and Pillman is DQd.

C1: Why did he do that?
C2: I don't think he cares about the match.

Pillman reaches into his tights and puts the brass knucks on his hand.

C1: Not this again!

Pillman floors Rogers with a brutal shot, splitting him right open. Pillman just laughs and taunts the fans, who shower Pillman with boos. He's not done yet though, he now mounts Rogers and just pummels him with the knucks. Regal is just sitting and watching it all. Finally Pillman gets off the lifeless Rogers and leaves the ring. EMTs come out to assist Rogers.

Why these guys and why book it like this? I think Pillman is one of the most under-rated performers of all time and he is definitely worthy of feuding with a legend like Rogers. The match was booked like this to illustrate Pillmans character and how he wasn't interested in a match, simply in hurting Rogers.

*COMMERCIAL

We go back to ringside and a bloody Buddy Rogers is being helped out of the arena. The fans show respect and applaud him as he leaves.

C1: Well ladies and gentlemen, we will keep you up to date on Rogers condition after that heinous assault. Anyway it's time for the big one. The inaugural OCW World Heavyweight Championship bout.

Savage comes out to a mixed reaction.

C1: This is a very partisan Bryan Danielson crowd, don't forget that.
C2: Bunch of losers and geeks.

Savage looks focused and ready. No flashy attire or entrance tonight. He wants that title.

The roof comes off and Danielson gets the kind of reaction a home town hero can expect. He's decked out in boxing coat and traditional maroon tights, a homage to his mentor William Regal.

Danielson milks the entrance for all its worth. Posing on all 4 turnbuckles. And the crowd can't get enough of it.

Both guys stare down. Neither backs an inch.

Crowd: This is awesome! This is awesome!

C1: I couldn't agree more.

The match begins with some mat wrestling. Savage holds his own against the technical master. As soon as one guys tries to gain the advantage, the other counters and tries for a hold of his own. This goes on for several minutes until both guys get to their feet. The crowd applauds, appreciating the old school start to the match.

They start again, but this time Savage rakes the eyes and flattens Danielson with a clothesline. The crowd boos Savage and starts chanting No!

C2: He did say he'd do anything to win.

Savage goes to work and stomps away at Danielson, picking him up and delivering a vertical suplex. He covers for a 2 count. He works Danielson into the corner, scoring lefts and rights.

He goes for a running clothesline but Danielson avoids contact, landing his familiar shotgun kicks to Savages midsection, he Irish whips, Savage reverses but Danielson takes him down with a flying shoulder tackle, and follows up with a Northern Lights suplex which gets him a 2 count. Regal continues to watch, looking impressed by the action so far.

Danielson keeps up the momentum and hits a succession of suplexs, Savage kicking out each time. Danielson scoop slams Savage and goes to the top rope, looking for the diving headbutt. Savage rolls out of the way and avoids the contact. He goes to the top and lands a missile dropkick, covering for a 2 count. They wrestle back and forth for a few minutes, everytime one guy lands a move, the other comes back with a move of his own.

C1: These guys are so evenly matched.

Savage finally lands a major move and lands a brutal release German Suplex, Danielson looked like he was spiked right on his head. Savage covers and somehow Danielson rolls the shoulder out at 2 1/2 and looks groggy as he gets to his feet but he finds the strength from somewhere to battle back once again, landing yet more kicks to the midsection and a big kick right to the head of Savage. He covers and gets a 2 1/2 of his own.

Both guys exchange right hands, the crowd red hot and booing/cheering every move depending who hits it. Savage again lands a major move and he nearly superkicks Danielsons head off. He doesn't go for the cover but he goes to the top rope and does his familar pose.

He comes off the top rope and lands the Flying Elbow. He covers but Danielson kicks out! Savage looks flustered but he goes up top and lands another elbow. And thats not enough for him, he gets up and hits another elbow!

C2: That has to be it.

Danielson again kicks out!

C2: This guy just doesn't stay down! What will it take?

The crowd is in a near frenzy now. Savage looking frustrated, screams at Danielson to get up. He goes for another superkick but Danielson ducks, takes down Savage and he locks in the LeBelle lock, right in the middle of the ring. Savage scratches and claws, tries to break the vice lock grip but to no avail. He scrambles to the bottom rope somehow, and Danielson breaks on 5.

C1: Wow, Savage is one tough son of a gun, anyone else would have tapped there!

Danielson gets in the corner as Savage struggles to his feet. Working the crowd and he goes for, and lands the Solid Knee Plus( :pac: )

1....2....Savage kicks out!

C2: What the? Can either guy actually beat the other?

The match has been going on for over 30 minutes now, both guys look absolutely exhausted, both have taken the best the other could throw at them. Still we're no closer to seeing who the better man is. Both guys are on their knees, throwing tired looking right hands at each other. Both can barely stand...

C1: What?

Pillman storms out to the ring. Regal is out of his seat to meet him. Both of them start shouting at each other. Pillman has a letter in his hand and he shows it to Regal. Regal reads it and looks disgusted. He calls for a microphone.

Regal: Ladies and gentlemen, I must inform you that before signing for OCW, Mr.Pillman demanded a clause which grants him an OCW World Heavyweight Championship Match at any time of his choosing. Mr.Pillman has now chosen to activate that clause.

The crowd is stunned. Savage and Danielson look both aghast and horrified.

C1: No, no, no, not like this! Pillman is like a damn scavenger!
C2: It's brilliant! Pick your spots.
C1: Damnit how you can approve of this! We're having an epic match here and Pillman is going to steal the damn title!

Pillman enters the ring, and arms himself with the brass knucks

C1: Not the damn knuckles again, someone stop this!

The referee pleads with Pillman but he simply pushes the referee aside and floors both guys with the knucks.

Pillman then, takes a moment as if eyeing his prey, and he covers Danielson for a 3 count.

C1: Brian Pillman....Brian Pillman is OCW Champion.

Boos fill the arena, Pillman doesn't care one bit. He takes the title and starts laughing like a maniac. Regal enters the ring, Pillman takes off the brass knucks and takes the mic from Regal.

Pillman: I believe these belong to you.

Regal cracks a smile and raises Pillmans hand with the title.

C1: Son of a bitch! What have you done William Regal? Are you telling me our boss has aligned with the Loose Cannon! And he sold out his protege and cheated the fans of a clean fight to do it!

Garbage starts to flood into the ring and the boo's get louder. Regal and Pillman stand tall with the title over the battered bodies of Savage and Danielson.

*FADE TO BLACK

Why these guys and why book it like this? It's a dream match, simple. I changed how I wanted this to go about 50 times. I had Danielson win the fall and be screwed after, same with Savage. I like this finish as neither guy was beaten cleanly and both come out of strongly. I've always believed if he had lived, Brian Pillman would have been one of the biggest stars of the Attitude Era, and him aligning himself with Regal is just awesome imo. It opens up so many matches and feuds if I do this again next year too :pac:
