Mr.Nice Guy

Backstage interview with the World Heavyweight Champion Edge

Interviewer: Edge, in tonight's main event you defend your World Heavyweight Championship against the returning Demon, Finn Balor. I wonder how you think your opponent will be feeling about you choosing this to be a TLC match?

Edge: Well y'know everyone is saying that I knocked Finn Balor a bit loopy when I hit him with the Conchairto, that I pushed him over the deep end. And hey, maybe I did. But the Finn Balor I knew was smart. And I don't believe for one second that has changed. So if he's smart, he'll be worried. Because make no mistake, this match is MY match.

Interviewer: Finally, there is a view that Balor returning to the Demon persona has you somewhat unnerved. Your thoughts on that?

Edge: Unnerved? This championship that I carry signifies that I am the best, that I am the measuring stick; so why would I be unnerved? I respect what Finn Balor can do in the ring. He's one of the greatest in this business without a doubt, but I'm afraid of no man - and no demon.

Edge looks directly into the camera.

Edge: Balor, you may think your newfound flirtation with the dark side gives you an advantage over me, but I've been wining and dining with the forces of darkness since my days with The Brood. And I've broken pretty much every commandment there is to break. I know what it's like to walk through the fires of hell and come out smiling. So give me everything you've got tonight, Demon. Because when you look into my eyes you will look into the eyes of a man who has no mercy, no pity, no conscience, and no soul.

But what I will have when it's all said and done...is this World Heavyweight Championship.

Purpose of promo: Build up the main event later and get the fans psyched.

No Holds Barred Match
Ishii's home is on the line
Vader vs Tomohiro Ishii

Back story

There's no place like home and few know that better than Tomohiro Ishii.

Crippled by debts and the prospect of losing the family home so dear to him, Ishii accepted a spot in Monday Night Grappling. He would soon attract the attention of The Million Dollar Man, who saw a chance to use the Japanese star as personal protection; while for Ishii, the prospect of Dibiase's money was too good to ignore.

Unfortunately for Ishii he attracted unwanted attention too - in the shape of the monster that is Vader. The talk of Ishii being the world's best brawler was one of the reasons Vader returned to the company, and when Ishii eliminated Vader from the World Title Battle Royal in Week 1, Vader became incensed and made it his personal mission to target him.

But The Million Dollar Man made it clear he had no beef with Vader and insisted Ishii was to do only what Dibiase wanted. He produced a tantalising carrot for Ishii: he revealed that he had sorted his debts and that the home was now his. He would hand Ishii the property if he fulfilled his wishes.

Ishii, however, had two problems: he could not face accusations of cowardice from Vader, nor could he stomach the Million Dollar Man's actions. His inability to attack Bockwinkel and Stevens, and question marks over his loyalty, would lead to Money Inc. attacking Ishii and a bombshell being dropped on him: that Dibiase had sold the property on to Vader.

Vader would offer Ishii a chance to regain his home on one condition: that he accept the stip that Vader wanted: a No Holds Barred match at Grapplemania. Ishii ignored Jim Cornette's warnings on the dangers that he was facing going up against Vader. And so the match has been made.

At Grapplemania two of the best brawlers in the business will clash in a match that promises to be a war. For Vader it is about proving that it is he who is the most dominant brawling big man in the business today and still the top force in the industry; for Ishii it is about regaining the homestead so dear to him, and regaining control of his own destiny.

For one man victory will be sweet; for the other, the taste of defeat will leave the most bitter of tastes. Who will emerge victorious?

The Match

Ishii entered first to a strong reaction and he paced the ring back and forth as he awaited his opponent. The announcers noted Ishii seemed very tense, knowing the significance of the match.

Vader came out wearing his attire that featured his helmet. As he stepped on the apron Ishii charged and hit a big boot that send Vader back to the floor and left the helmet crushed.

Commentator #2: Hey, isn't that a cheap shot?!

Commentator #1: Vader wanted it No Holds Barred, and so anything goes.

Ishii started off as rabid as his own dogs. He tore the helmet off Vader and we saw that Vader's lip was bloodied. Ishii began unloading a flurry of fists on Vader and then drove him head-first into the steel steps. In the early stages, Ishii took his opponent all around ringside, slamming his head on the announcer's table, Irish Whipping him into the steel steps, and driving him into the barricade.

Vader seemed taken aback by this aggressive start from Ishii and began swinging wildly. Some of the swings landed, though, and soon the two men were brawling into the crowd as fans gave a wide berth to the two big men's exchanges.

Commentator #1: It's like a pier six brawl, folks!

Commentator #2: These guys are beating the holy hell out of each other!

The referee pleads with the men to return to the ring but they end up fighting all the way up near the entranceway. Ishii attempts an Irish Whip into the set but Vader counters and it is Ishii who hits his head hard. Vader then delivers a suplex to Ishii on the aisle and then drags Ishii back to the ring.

Commentator #1: Vader appears to have taken control now, fans.

Vader goes to the timekeeper's area and grabs the ring bell. He brings it into the ring and clocks Ishii with it. He then sets Ishii up for a superplex which he lands for the 1...2...Ishii kicks out.

Vader then attempts a Vader Bomb but Ishii gets his knees up and counters. Now Ishii grabs the ring bell and clocks Vader several times but the monster doesn't go down - in fact, Vader smiles and asks for more.

Ishii screams and begins unleashing a flurry of headbutts as the fans rise to their feet and soon Vader is busted open hard way and so too is Ishii. There's so much blood that Vader even rips off his mask to get better visibility.

Commentator #2: My God, this is getting vicious.

Ishii then kicks Vader in the gut and attempts a powerbomb but Vader counters by sending Ishii up and over his head. It is Vader who then goes for a powerbomb but Ishii this time counters - with a low blow. The announcers note Ishii is showing quite a mean streak tonight.

As pools of blood form around the canvas, Ishii steps outside and under the ring. He reaches under and pulls out a bag. He returns to the ring and reveals the contents: thumb tacks. He pours them around the ring as the fans chant 'Holy sh*t.' He grabs Vader's face and screams 'I'm no coward' and then lifts Vader up for an Ishii Driller on the tacks - but Vader counters, slipping off his back and grabs Ishii and delivers a powerslam on the tacks.

Commentator #2: That's it.

Vader makes the cover for the 1...2...but Ishii kicks out to Vader's amazement. Vader lifts Ishii up for a powerbomb on the tacks but Ishii bites Vader as he is on his shoulders causing Vader to let go - and Ishii then hits the Ishii Driller for the

1...

2...

but Vader kicks out. The fans signal their appreciation for the match with a 'this is awesome' chant as both men are a bloody mess with tacks piercing their flesh.

The finish sees Ishii attempt his suplex into a brainbuster but Vader countered and hit a big German Suplex. With Ishii on the mat, Vader finally hit the Vader Bomb for the

but Ishii again kicked out. The fans were chanting for Ishii as Vader pounded the mat in frustration, oblivious to the nails that were entering his palm by doing so.

Vader went up top and signalled a moonsault. He hit the move - but Ishii rolled out of the way as Vader hit only canvas. Ishii then connected with the suplex into a brainbuster - on tacks - for the

but Vader kicked out again. Fans again chanted their appreciation as the announcers wondered what it would take to separate these two. Ishii began hitting Vader with slaps and hard punches; he then went to the other corner and signalled his Lariat as Vader, with his back to him, struggled to get to his feet.

Ishii charged - but Vader had managed to get hold of the ring bell again and as Ishii prepared to connect, Vader swung the ring bell into Ishii's head staggering him sideways and leading to gasps from the crowd. Vader then booted Ishii in the gut and hoisted him up for a mighty powerbomb on the tacks. He made the cover...

Winner: Vader

Commentator #1: My God, ladies and gentlemen that was a match that will live long in the memory. But it's a heartbreaking loss for Ishii. He gave it his all but it just wasn't good enough.

Commentator #2: Ishii would have beaten pretty much anybody else with the performance he gave, but this Vader is not human. You have to wonder what this loss will do for Ishii's mental state now that his home is lost forever.

A visibly sore Vader sells his injuries, but then sneers at Ishii before leaving the ring. 'I'm still the man' he screams into the camera as Ishii remains out cold. We fade out.

Why I went with this feud: Vader is one of the best brawlers of all time and Ishii is considered by many to be the best brawler today. Vader also has a great record of working with Japanese wrestlers so I think pitting these two against one another ticks a lot of boxes and would be a real classic.

Why I booked it this way: I want to keep Vader strong and keep hold of his aura of being a monster. I also feel it's more interesting for Ishii going forward to lose and observe how he deals with the loss.

***

Scene: Ishii is being treated by medical staff backstage. They are asking him questions about his injuries but he is not answering. He is staring off into the distance.

Voice: Tsk-tsk-tsk. Looks like you dropped the ball again.

The camera pans to the right and we see the Million Dollar Man there. He is in his wrestling gear since his match is next. He is grinning.

Million Dollar Man: It could have been so different for you, Ishii. But you had to play the hero. Not to worry though. I'm sure if you ask really nicely Vader might consider letting you stay in his new home as his new roommate!

Dibiase cackles and slowly saunters out of view as Ishii does nothing. Perhaps Ishii is too exhausted to do anything, or perhaps, as the announcers suggest, the loss to Vader may have broken him.

World Tag Team Titles
Titles vs Career Match
Money Inc (c) vs Nick Bockwinkel and Ray Stevens

Back story

For The Million Dollar Man and Money Inc., this was to be their year in Monday Night Grappling. Dibiase would show up with the World Heavyweight Championship claiming he had beaten last year's champion Dynamite King for the honour. But it would transpire that Dibiase had in fact paid out for the honour and the returning Commissioner Jim Cornette would remove the belt from his possession, placing it up for grabs in a World Title Battle Royal.

Dibiase's actions would earn the condemnation of Nick Bockwinkel and Ray Stevens, the tag team champions, and that would set these men directly on a collision course. Dibiase, irked by their criticism, would manipulate his former partner Stan Hansen into attacking Bockwinkel and Stevens, thus costing them their chance in the World Title Battle Royal. This would lead to Bockwinkel and Stevens in return attacking Dibiase's partner I.R.S. and locking him in the boot of a limo.

On Week 3, however, Dibiase would strike the cruellest blow. Made the temporary GM for the night by the owner due to Jim Cornette's absence, Dibiase would interrupt Nick Bockwinkel's Hall of Fame induction and would force the tag champs into a match against Money Inc. Ted Dibiase Junior would interfere, reuniting with his father, and costing the popular champs their gold.

The Million Dollar Man would offer a rematch for the titles on one condition - Bockwinkel and Stevens would have to put their careers on the line. It was a heavy price to pay to get their hands on Money Inc. but it was a price the former tag champs accepted.

For Bockwinkel and Stevens, this match is about giving Money Inc. their comeuppance at long last and taking back the championships that mean so much to them. For Money Inc. this is about making a huge statement - the removal from the company of two of its most beloved sons and two of Money Inc.'s biggest rivals. The stakes could scarecly be any higher for this one. Which team will have the last laugh?

The Match

Nick Bockwinkel and Ray Stevens entered to a huge ovation. They got in a huddle and gave each other a pep talk as they waited for Money Inc.

Money Inc. entered to huge boos and revelled in the reception they got. Backstage we saw Ted Dibiase Junior watching on a monitor and applauding the champs.

Dibiase went to the timekeeper's area and got a mic before the match.

Million Dollar Man: We've already seen tonight a man fail in his quest to secure his dream and suffer the biggest heartbreak of his life. Tonight we're going to see these two fools in the ring go through the exact same thing.

Dibiase and I.R.S. cackle but Bockwinkel and Stevens have heard enough and they exit the ring and begin hammering away at Money Inc. all around ringside as the fans cheer.

Eventually the ref restore order and Stevens and I.R.S. start things off. In the early going it is Bockwinkel and Stevens that have the better of things and they work over I.R.S. with quick tags as the fans chant 'Money Inc. sucks'.

The tide turns, however, when Dibiase distracts the ref allowing I.R.S. to hit a low blow to Stevens and then tag in Dibiase. The Million Dollar Man grinds down Stevens who soon desperately needs a tag as Money Inc. double team him, often illegally. On one occasion Dibiase distracts the ref again and I.R.S. chokes Stevens with the tag rope.

The fans chant 'Let's go Stevens' and Dibiase and I.R.S. are soon getting near falls as Bockwinkel looks on, concerned.

Commentator #2: I think Bockwinkel is seeing his career disappearing slowly before his eyes.

Commentator #1: Things are looking ominous for the challengers.

Dibiase tags in I.R.S. but I.R.S. gets cocky. He starts slapping Stevens around but Stevens hits an Atomic Drop and a clothesline that knocks I.R.S. down. Dibiase attempts to enter the ring as the ref holds him back.

Stevens crawls to his corner and can he make the tag...yes! The fans come unglued as Bockwinkel enters the ring - but the referee tells him to get out: because Dibiase distracted him, he didn't see the tag.

Commentator #1: The referee has missed the perfectly legal tag and these fans are absolutely irate.

I.R.S. meanwhile has recovered from the clothesline and he scores a piledriver on Stevens for the

2...

just a two. Bockwinkel breaks up the pin as the fans cheer. The referee again tells Bockwinkel to get out of the ring as I.R.S. lifts up Stevens but Stevens feeds off the chants from the fans and scores with an enziguri as both men are down. I.R.S. crawls and tags in Dibiase. Stevens crawls and can he reach Bockwinkel once more...yes!

Commentator #1: The referee saw it this time!

The fans come unglued as Bockwinkel unleashes a flurry of shots on Dibiase, followed by a dropkick and then signals for his piledriver finisher. Can he hit it? He does! And he makes the cover as the fans are jumping for joy...

1...

2...

Thr - but wait! The referee has his leg tugged, interrupting him as he was about to count the pin.

...It's Ted Dibiase Junior.

Commentator #1: What the hell is 'junior' doing here?! He has no business in this match up!

Ted Junior holds up his hands as if offering an apology; the referee meanwhile seems like he is about to send him out of there when from behind I.R.S. charges towards Bockwinkel but 'accidentally' takes out the ref instead. Bockwinkel begins hammering I.R.S. but Ted Junior enters the ring and begins hitting Bockwinkel with shots. Stevens enters the ring to put up a fight but the odds are 3-on-2.

Commentator #1: This is disgraceful! It's not a damn handicap match! I think Money Inc. have lost faith in their ability to win this one!

Commentator #2: Well Balor could come out here if he wanted but it seems he doesn't want to; he has well and truly turned to the dark side. I thought these guys were his friends? Bockwinkel and Stevens don't have anyone to help them now.

Suddenly there is a huge cheer as Tomohiro Ishii makes his way down to the ring, still selling from his match with Vader, his face grimacing.

Commentator #1: Maybe they do have an ally after all! Look at the Million Dollar Man's face! I bet he's regretting his earlier trash talking now!

Ishii enters the ring as Ted Junior scarpers out of there in fright. Bockwinkel and Stevens continue hammering away at Money Inc. as the fans cheer that the odds have been evened - and it is then that Ishii strikes down Bockwinkel with a clubbing blow.

Commentator #1: Wh-what the hell?! Ishii, what have you done?!


Commentator #2: What is he thinking?

There are gasps from the crowd as Ishii then clotheslines a stunned Ray Stevens. He tosses him out of the ring and then hits the Ishii Driver to Bockwinkel. He gives the referee a kick in the side to get him to stir once again. Throughout all of this, the members of Money Inc. have stunned expressions on their faces. They can't believe it either.

The referee begins to stir as Dibiase hooks the leg of Bockwinkel.

Commentator #1: For the love of God, their careers are on the line. Don't let it end this way!

The referee counts.

Winners and still MNG World Tag Champions: Money Inc.

The fans have their hands on their heads as they try to process what has happened. We get several shots of the fans' faces as they are stunned at what has happened.

Commentator #1: Why, Ishii, why?! Why did you do this, you son of a bitch!

Commentator #2: Take it easy.

Commentator #1: Take it easy? They had their damn careers on the line! And he goes and helps a man that made his life a misery these past few weeks?!

As Money Inc. collect their titles and hold aloft their belts to huge boos, they are still shocked at Ishii's actions. Ishii requests a mic which is given to him. He gets eye to eye with Dibiase.

Ishii: Help me. Please, help me.

Dibiase is lost for words but then he nods and mouths 'okay'. He wraps his arm around Ishii, whose head remains bowed low. I.R.S. and Ted Junior then embrace him as the fans boo.

Commentator #2: I think I'm starting to realise why Ishii did what he did. He lost to Vader and so lost the chance of his home, but if there's one man that might be able to finance a way to get it back - it's the man who sold it on to Vader in the first place.

Commentator #1: I think you're right. I think that's exactly what this is about, but that doesn't make this any less shameful. Just because he had his dream torn apart that makes it okay to destroy the dream of Nick Bockwinkel and Ray Stevens? When they have their careers on the line? I thought Ishii was a better man than that. I really did.

Commentator #2: Desperate men do desperate things sometimes.

All members of Money Inc. - and now Ishii - leave the ring and as Bockwinkel and Stevens eventually get to their feet, and realise what happened, they are heartbroken.

We linger on the scene for some time as they bow their heads and occasionally lift them to look out on the crowd; the audience are still stunned and we see images of tearful women and children. Some of the men look on the brink of tears too - Bockwinkel has been a mainstay of the promotion for several years - the first Hall of Fame inductee - but will never again grace it with his presence; and neither will Stevens who has also been a significant contributor over the years.

Then spontaneous applause breaks out. The announcers join in and Bockwinkel and Stevens are seen mouthing 'thank you' to the fans and struggling not to break down. Stevens is seen telling Bockwinkel 'let's leave with our heads high'. They exit up the aisle trying to put on a brave face, high-fiving fans as they depart.

Why I went with this feud: I decided this year would be the last year I would draft Bockwinkel and Stevens. I have used them in various ways over the years, as heels and faces, and I felt it was time to say goodbye to them. With that being the case I wanted to give them a really big final angle. Money Inc. have been pushed really hard on my show and I felt they would be perfect adversaries.

Why I booked it this way: I decided I was going to turn Ishii because I wanted to keep Vader as the strong monster (you may have noticed Ishii behaving quite heelish in his match with Vader - biting, low blows etc.); and I felt there was a logic in Ishii, as a desperate man, who has now lost his home, having to swallow his pride and throw himself at the mercy of The Million Dollar Man. Ishii has now finally shown the ruthless side that Dibiase has been looking for all season and has abandoned his morals in the hope that Dibiase can somehow help him.

Money Inc. will be even bigger heels now that they can taunt the fans that they forced the hugely popular Bockwinkel and Stevens out of the company. Ishii too will be hated for his part in the result.

Fan interaction segment w/Just Joe

Just Joe, our enhancement talent, comes out to tell us he has a secret to reveal: he announces we have set a new attendance record tonight for the stadium with over 76,000 people and tells them all to give themselves a round of applause.

He then heads ringside and decides to ask fans who they think will win the main event tonight?

Female fan: Definitely Balor! I'm a member of the Balor Club, look at my shirt!

He then asks a guy draped in a Canadian flag.

Canadian guy: Edge all the way. Without a doubt. This type of match suits him better, eh?

Joe tells the fans to brace themselves for what should be a special match.

Purpose of segment: To give the fans a breather following the emotional scenes they just witnessed and whet their appetite for the match ahead.

Backstage interview with Nick Bockwinkel and Ray Stevens

Before the interview begins the Commissioner Jim Cornette sympathises with them and says he wishes he could have done something. They tell him he's not to blame. Cornette apologises again anyway and exits.

Interview: Gentlemen, I can't imagine the heartbreak you're feeling right now and I'm sure you're not in the mood to talk to anybody, but, if you could, would you tell us what's going through your mind at this moment?

Stevens (laughing ruefully): It's the end of an era for us. It's devastating. But we gave it our best. We truly gave it our best.

Bockwinkel: I'm just sorry we couldn't give Dibiase the comeuppance he so richly deserves. I'm sorry for our wonderful fans.

Interviewer: One of our announcers suggested Balor could have helped you but chose not to, what do you have to say to that?

Bockwinkel: Well, that's false. Finn Balor hasn't actually arrived yet. No one has been able to contact him. Ray and I have wanted to speak to him but he's hard to reach of late.

Interviewer: Finally, your thoughts on Ishii?

Stevens: Ishii has made a deal with the devil - again. I think he will regret it. A snake never changes.

Bockwinkel: Ishii will learn that turning to the darkness within is not the answer. And I hope Balor, wherever he is, learns that lesson before it's too late.

The interviewer shakes both their hands as the segment ends.

Purpose of promo: Explain why Balor wasn't there for the last match and give Bockwinkel and Stevens their parting words.

Tables, Ladders and Chairs Match
Finn Balor vs Edge (c)

Back story

It was supposed to be the fulfillment of Finn Balor's dream; instead, it was the beginning of a nightmare.

All men must battle their demons, but for Finn Balor the battle threatened to consume him. Brought in by Nick Bockwinkel and Ray Stevens to challenge the evil regime from a year ago, Balor soon found himself turning to his demon alter ego more and more; it became a crutch. Following much soul-searching, Finn resolved to leave the demon behind, even with the vacant World Title at stake in the first show of the new season.

It seemed like Finn was vindicated when he entered at number one and managed to eliminate Ted Dibiase at the end of the match - but it was not quite the end. The Rated R superstar Edge, who the owner had claimed a week before had been traded to someone else in the Draft (for that post, see here), had in fact not been traded at all. It was in effect a 'phantom trade', a ruse so the ultimate opportunist could strike with maximum impact. Edge would go on to eliminate Balor and claim the gold.

Finn would be left desperately struggling not to unleash the demon. Things looked up when Commissioner Jim Cornette rewarded Finn with the spot of number one contender, but he would soon be left tested again - after an attack by Money Inc. Edge would make the save - eventually, and the Rated R superstar went on to claim he had nothing against Finn. He claimed he respected him and that what happened in the battle royal was just business, nothing personal. He insisted he would have Finn's back; but Finn would not trust him.

A tag match would provide clarity. With Balor and Edge teaming up to take on Ted Dibiase Jnr and Tomohiro Ishii, both men were told that the one who got the winning pinfall would set the stip for Grapplemania. When Edge prevented Balor being nailed with a chair, Balor let Edge take the pin. It seemed the two men were on good terms now; Edge extended his hand and Balor accepted the handshake at last - only for Edge to strike. Finn had been right to be suspicious, after all. What followed was a vicious Conchairto by Edge that seemed to take Balor out of the PPV.

But it would transpire that Finn would be at Grapplemania, for Edge's attack had it seemed sent Finn totally over the deep end and into the arms of his inner demon. Now distancing himself from Fergal Devitt, the Demon Balor has vowed to take the title at Grapplemania.

Edge, who had confessed his jealousy for the way the fans put Finn Balor on a pedestal above himself, it would appear has inadvertently made Balor into an even more dangerous proposition. But Edge had once ace left up his sleeve: the right to choose the stip for Grapplemania. Edge would choose the match he was most synonymous with, and which Finn Balor had never competed in: a Tables, Ladders and Chairs match.

And so at Grapplemania these two men will compete in a match not simply about glory, or vengeance, but the cementing of legacies. For Finn Balor to achieve his life's dream he will have to best the champion in a match which he is renowned for; and for Edge to consolidate the Rated R era he will have to slay a demon which has risen up via his own hands. Which of these superstars will weather the brutality of the tables and the chairs, and climb the ladder of success?

As the video package ended, the lights went out causing the fans to cheer. All was in darkness.

Then we see on the titantron a candle. A figure in a robe and white mask - we have seen such figures associate with Finn before - picks up the candle and moves towards a figure in a dark robe, seated in a chair. The camera pans around - we see his eyes are closed. The figure holds the candle near to his eye.

Figure: It is time.

The eye opens. It resembles the design we have seen on Balor's back in the past.

(This is meant to symbolize Balor in Irish mythology whose eye was said to destroy whoever it gazed upon)

The screen goes black again. This time we hear the familiar heartbeat of Balor's entrance as the fans cheer. When his music hits, Balor appears:

He was wearing wings, which we've seen before, but in a new development he also bore a tail at the back whilst red pyro rained down from above.

The announcers noted he resembled a phoenix rising from the flames and they wondered if this was also a reference to Ireland's recent Easter Rising commemorations.

Balor did his trademark gestures and entered the ring. When his music ceased he gazed up at the World Heavyweight Title that hung above as the fans gave him the loudest pop of the night and chanted 'Demon Balor'.

He awaited the champion.

Edge entered out of the flames as he used to do when he was in The Brood. A symbolic gesture of his own dark history which he touched on in his earlier promo.

He made his way down to the ring and stood on the turnbuckles, greeted mostly with boos.

The ring announcer then made the official ring introductions and both men got nose to nose as the flash bulbs went off.

Commentator #1: The wait is over. These two are finally going to get it on!

As the bell rang Edge began trash talking and pie-faced Balor. He screamed that he wasn't afraid of him; Balor then charged at Edge, hitting him with a flurry of punches and kicks that had Edge reeling in the corner. The early stages of the match were a brawl. Balor got the most joy early on and Edge eventually slid out of the ring as the fans booed. He went to the timekeeper's area and grabbed a chair. He brought it into the ring but Balor saw him coming and connected with a dropkick, sending the chair back into Edge's face. Balor then grabbed the chair and began peppering Edge's back with numerous shots as the fans cheered.

Commentator #1: Some payback at last for Finn Balor after Edge's vicious Conchairto two weeks ago.

Commentator #2: Right now things aren't looking good for Edge. Finn Balor is showing more aggression than I've ever seen from him.

Edge again slid out of the ring and paused on the outside. Balor meanwhile went outside and grabbed a ladder. He brought it into the ring and began to climb as the fans egged him on, but Edge seized the opportunity and slid back in, grabbed the chair, and hit Balor in the back, causing him to fall.

Edge then grabbed the ladder and nailed Balor in his stomach with it. He began to hit Balor repeatedly there. The fans chanted for Balor as Edge seemed to take control now.

Edge then began his climb.

Commentator #2: Edge is at last showing why this match is seen as his specialty. Balor put up a good fight but he's about to lose.

Edge got all the way up to the top rung and brushed the title with his hand as the fans screamed in dismay.

But Balor, despite his pain, made his way up the ladder and the two began exchanging punches. Edge managed to knock Balor down from the ladder and once again he reached for the title as the fans once more screamed in concern, but Balor rushed towards the ladder and tipped it, causing Edge to crotch himself on the top rope.

Fans: 'We want tables!' (clap, clap, clap, clap) 'We want tables!'

Balor then went outside under the apron as the fans pop, and sure enough he brought out a table.

Commentator #1: These fans were asking for it!

Balor places the table in one of the corners. He picks up Edge and goes for the Irish Whip, but Edge reverses with an Irish Whip of his own. Balor is able to put on the breaks just before he goes through the table, but Edge hits him with a low blow. Edge then backs up and as Balor slowly turns - Edge spears him through the table.

Balor is now in a heap amidst the table wreckage as Edge climbs the ladder.

Commentator #1: That may be the difference maker!

Edge slowly climbs up the ladder as below Balor begins to stir. Edge is at the top rung whilst Balor picks up the chair. This time it's Balor who peppers Edge's back with the chair as Edge falls. Balor then goes outside and under the ring and brings out a much bigger ladder as the fans cheer.

Balor brings the ladder in the ring but instead of positioning it under the belt, he places it at the corner of the ring.

Commentator #2: What's he doing? He'll never reach the title from there.

Balor climbs the ladder and the fans cheer as they realise Balor has something else in mind. He reaches the top and swings his legs around. He looks out at the crowd as they cheer and then he jumps and delivers the Coup de Grâce to Edge.

Commentator #1: Oh my God! Coup de Grâce off the ladder! Edge may be finished!

Balor sells his ankle from delivering the move but he gingerly makes his way up the ladder. He gets to the second-from-top rung - but Edge recovers. As Balor reaches for the title, the fans cheer; but Edge is up and manages to tip the ladder, causing Balor to fall. Edge then takes the other ladder and climbs but now Balor is back up, and he sets up the other ladder and climbs. Both men are now on different ladders and exchanging punches.

Commentator #1: Both these men are nearly there!

Balor punches Edge who teeters back and then Balor reaches up as the fans cheer. He is near the title and can he reach...?

He can! But Edge kicks the ladder and Balor is left hanging above, swinging around, trying to free the title. Edge doesn't wait and launches himself, spearing Balor from above, just like he famously did to Jeff Hardy once upon a time at Wrestlemania.

Balor hits the mat hard as the fans chant *holy sh*t' and then 'this is awesome' at what they are seeing.

Edge looks up at the title above, now veering back and forth. He looks at the ladder and goes towards it, but changes his mind. He instead goes for the chair - he places it under Balor's head and steps out of the ring and gets another chair.

Commentator #1: We've seen this before! Edge is going for another Conchairto!

Commentator #2: Edge is going to slay this demon once and for all.

Edge returns to the ring as the fans again chant for Balor, trying to revive him. Edge turns Balor over, looking at the Balor eye on his back and laughing at it. Edge hoists the chair high - but as he brings it down, Balor moves out of the way in time. It's almost as if he had seen it coming somehow.

Balor gets a second wind. He unleashes a flurry of offence and then hits his running front dropkick to Edge who snaps back into the turnbuckle. Balor then gets a sadistic look on his face and places Edge's head on the chair. He picks up the other chair and prepares to deliver a Conchairto of his own to Edge.

Commentator #1: No don't do this, Finn. Don't stoop to Edge's level! Don't do something that sick!

Commentator #2: Course he'll do it. He's given himself up to the darkness.

Balor hoists the chair high - but he hesitates. He shakes his head and tosses the chair outside to the announcers' surprise. Instead he goes outside and takes out a table. He sets it up in the ring and signals for a Bloody Sunday through the table - he prepares to hit it but Edge wriggles free and kicks Balor below the belt, who crumples in a heap.

Edge then takes one of the ladders and climbs as the fans shout 'noooooo' and plead for Balor to get up.

Commentator #1: Edge is about to take the title!

Commentator #2: Balor should have hit the Conchairto when he had the chance! Did he listen to Bockwinkel's words from earlier about not giving into the darkness? Big mistake!

Edge climbs and reaches out but Balor gets to his knees and begins climbing rung by rung.

The finish sees both Edge and Balor exchanging shots at the top of the ladder.

Edge hit a flurry of punches that leaves Balor reeling. And to the shock of the fans Edge punches Balor off.

...Or so he thinks. Balor holds on with his legs and manages to lift himself back up - he responds with a flurry of punches of his own that now leave Edge reeling. Balor grabs Edge by the face and screams 'this is my night' - the words Edge had screamed before eliminating him during the World Title Battle Royal.

Balor hooks Edge's head and hoists him up in a Reverse Bloody Sunday position - he then pushes Edge down and through the table set up below.

Balor then lifts a hand up and to the joy of the crowd he pulls down the title.

Winner and new MNG World Heavyweight Champion: Finn Balor

Commentator #1: Finn Balor has done it! He has completed his long oddysey to the promised land, securing his first ever World Championship win! And he managed to do it without being swallowed whole by the darkness.

Commentator #2: I thought Balor's decision not to go for revenge with the Conchairto would backfire. But I guess there was a small candle of light burning in that darkness, after all. Maybe Bockwinkel's warning from earlier hit home.

Finn Balor remains on the ladder, holding aloft his newly won World Championship. Fans are seen jumping up and down as pyro explodes in the background and confetti falls from the ceiling.

We linger on the scene for many minutes as Edge is moved out of the ring by officials, along with the ladders and table wreckage.

Balor celebrates on all four turnbuckles. Then we see a sight that gets the fans cheering even more: all of the babyface guys come down. We see Curtis Axel, James Storm, The Midnight Express, Jim Cornette and Just Joe. They enter the ring and applaud Balor. But there is an even bigger cheer as Nick Bockwinkel and Ray Stevens come down and enter the ring. The two men hug Balor as the fans salute all of them.

The announcers note it was Bockwinkel and Stevens that brought Balor into the company to end the tyranny of last year, and now here Balor stands as the Champion. They put over that Bockwinkel and Stevens have remained classy right to the end, despite their own disappointment.

Bockwinkel is heard telling Balor 'you have to fight for these people. You have to be a beacon. It's up to you now.'

The final image of the show is reminiscent of the ending to Wrestlemania X as Bockwinkel, Stevens, and all of the babyfaces lift Balor up on their shoulders as he holds high the World Title while the fans celebrate.

The announcers note the contrast to the end of last year's PPV with this year's one.

The darkness didn't win this time. And a new era has dawned.

Why I went with this feud: I think these two would have great chemistry together. Balor is a really likeable babyface and I tried to make his demon persona a lot more interesting than the way it's presented on NXT. I wanted there to be real conflict within himself.

I felt Edge was the perfect foil for Balor as he was a terrific heel and would be great at getting under Balor's skin. Making it a TLC match appealed to me because it's Edge's specialty and Balor has never wrestled that match so there's a fun factor to his involvement, and a win for Balor puts him over in a big way.

Why I booked it this way: I think it's definitely best for business that Balor goes over. Edge has stolen his moment earlier in the season and to do so again would be too much. Also I have structured the feuds in such a way that I think Balor has a whole host of great feuds lined up.

The immediate plan would be to have Balor's next opponent be The Million Dollar Man. There's a ready-made story there with Dibiase feeling the title should be his, and Balor wanting to get revenge for Dibiase ending Bockwinkel and Stevens's career. Likewise, an eventual feud with Ishii makes sense for a similar reason and those two have already come to blows this season.

I can also do a match against the monster Vader which would be big business as I'd keep Vader strong leading up to it. And there is the potential of throwing him up against L.A.X. at some point, and even Stan Hansen when he eventually turns heel and finishes his feud with Storm.

The plan would be to make Finn Balor the centrepiece of the promotion and if I played my cards right I think you could give him a reign that could potentially last the remainder of the year. As for Edge, there is also the rematch option on the table. For now, I'd take Edge off TV for a little while and let him strike Balor down in a month or two when Balor doesn't see it coming and set up another big PPV match between the two.

That's it from me this year. Many thanks to those who have followed my shows. Thanks also to Bounty Hunter for his work in organizing the game.

Picture of a maniacal Boogeyman appears as the promo draws to a close.

The crowd erupts as the pyros explode and we go to live to the arena for Natural Selection!! Necrominus and Billy-Bob are out of their seats, waving to the fans as they chant:




‘NCW! NCW! NCW!’

Necrominus: Hello all, and welcome to NCW Natural Selection! I’m Necrominus, and here beside me is my co-host for the evening, Jiminy Billy-Bob! And what a night we have in store for you all!

Billy-Bob: Yes sirree Necro! The card is stacked from top to bottom with quality matches for your enjoyment! I can’t wait!

Necrominus: Neither can I, Jiminy! The tension has been building all week for our inaugural Natural Selection PPV, the pinnacle of NCW’s year – and of the Boards Draft 2016!

Billy-Bob: Now let’s not get ahead of ourselves, Necro – there’s a lot of quality feds out there who are producing quality programming this year – it’s all up in the air as to who might just be the most dominant!

Necrominus: Well let’s just see what happens, Jiminy!

Ring Announcer: Ladies and Gentlemen, this contest is scheduled for one fall – and is The Monster’s Ball Match!

The crowd cheers in delight at the upcoming match, but immediately begin booing as the music of Matt Morgan hits.

Morgan comes to the stage, looking in peak condition for tonight, and argues with the fans on the way to the ring.

Ring Announcer: Introducing first, from Fairfield Connecticut – Matt MORGAN!

Morgan is in the ring, limbering out his wrists as the crowd start to cheer – and the music of Abyss hits!!

Ring Announcer – And his opponent – from Parts Unknown… The Monster – ABYSS!

Necrominus: This is a rather… violent way to start the night. I’m actually scared as to what Abyss will do to Morgan after his shocking betrayal!

Billy-Bob: This guy has no place in a wrestling ring, Necro. He’s bat-**** crazy!

Necrominus: Thanks, Jiminy – you’re going to get us censored. And why don’t you tell him that!

The bell rings and the match is on as both men circle the ring looking for an opening. Both men hook up in a tie-up, center of the ring. Both men struggle for position moving all over the ring but Morgan is able to get the upper hand leading Abyss to a corner. He sets up to attack but as he does, Abyss counters with a low kick.

Abyss stays on the attack with crossface shots. Abyss stands him up and whips Morgan across the ring. As he does so, Morgan slides to the outside grabbing a kendo stick from the litany of weapons on the floor and sliding back inside. Morgan hits Abyss with it, barely staggering the monster.

Morgan stalls for a few seconds. Enough time for Abyss land a solid punch to Morgan’s unprotected face. Morgan scrambles to get back up, sporting a bloody nose now but Abyss meets him with more blows to the face. Abyss whips Morgan over the top rope, sending him stumbling into the guardrail. He exits the ring and clotheslines Morgan over sending him to the sea of fans crowding the arena. The fans cheer on as Abyss and Morgan continue their fistfight, up the stairs and disappearing into the crowd.

Necrominus: Where are they going?

Billy-Bob: They're halfway up the stairs! They can't win there.

The brawl continues as both men make their way through a set of rails. Morgan kicks Abyss by the knees forcing him to kneel before a boot to the head makes him tumble down a small flight of stairs. He taunts the crowd taking away a sign from one fan reading “Abyss” , tearing it up and throwing it back him.


-Morgan Sucks! Morgan Sucks! Morgan Sucks!-

Chants the capacity crowd.

Necrominus: Morgan has no business messing with the fans. They paid to be here.

Billy-Bob: You kidding me? That idiot had it coming.

Necrominus: Back to the matter at hand, Abyss just got kicked down a flight of stairs. He may have broken ribs here or even a concussion. He needs to find a way to get control here or he may lose more than just the match. Morgan seems to have an underhanded tactic for everything he does.

Morgan stands on the steps, looking down at Abyss, watching as Abyss is helped to his feet by the L.A. fans. He runs down the steps and looks for the CARBON FOOTPRINT – Abyss dodges the blow and the momentum sends Morgan careening into the guardrail!

Necrominus: This may be anything goes, but it's not Falls Count Anywhere. Both men would want to be careful not to waste all of their energy outside the ring!

Abyss, now in control – goes to throw Morgan over the guardrail back to the ringside area – Morgan counters and kicks him low!

Morgan now attacks with a series of European Uppercuts. He drags him by the head until they reach a barricade near the entrance stage as Morgan keeps the strikes going, finally in full control of the match. Abyss, weakened by the flurry, tries for a right hand. But Morgan ducks it and plants him on the concrete with a DDT! Morgan then tosses Abyss back across the railings and into the entrance area on below the stage.


Morgan pursues the fallen Abyss now, but first flips off some fans before going over the barricade. The referee appears to check on Abyss who screams in his face! Morgan goes to grab him, placing him on the entrance stage and climbing up himself. He stands Abyss up and places his limp body on him with a Fireman's Carry.

But as he's about to walk down the aisle, Abyss starts to struggle back to his feet, delivering vicious elbows to the temple of Morgan. Abyss staggers back to his feet, but before he can take advantage, Morgan backs up the ramp. He heads up after Morgan and the two once again go for the fisticuffs, trading vicious blows on one another. Morgan goes low AGAIN and grabs Abyss’ head and tries to drag it against the stage lights.

But Abyss turns it around and smashes Morgan’s head through one! Sparks fly as Morgan falls to the floor covering his face!


-Holy Sh*t! Holy Sh*t! Holy Sh*t!-

Necrominus: Oh my God! He could very well kill him right there!

Billy-Bob: Burned face, cuts and bruises, he could go blind! That can't be legal!

Necrominus: Yet somehow it is. This match is still going. Someone needs to be pinned or submit.

Abyss heads on to the back, and re-emerges from the back now rolling a stretcher into the arena with the crowd white hot for what may happen next. Abyss sets it up and grabs Morgan by the back of his neck, trying to place him on the stretcher. But suddenly, Morgan fights back with an elbow and gets to his feet. His face is covered by a crimson mask. Morgan charges Abyss and both men land on the stretcher! Sending them speeding down the aisle at maybe 30 miles per hour - and they crash against the ring!!!


The crowd gives an audible gasp as both men are down in the ground on opposite sides trying to get in the ring. Crawling and pulling themselves up with what little energy they can muster. Still on the floor. Morgan tries a kick and hits Abyss on the knee with all the strength he has left. But the weakened Morgan also tumbles and both men fall back to the floor. Abyss clutches the knee as Morgan tries to recompose himself to capitalize.

Necrominus: Morgan could have blown out Abyss’ knee with that kick!

Morgan gets up as Abyss is still struggling. Morgan goes on the attack. He aims for the knee, but Abyss manages to steer him away from it. He finally gets back up and catches Morgan in a Powerslam on the outside! He staggers to his feet and rolls Morgan inside and dives on top of him for the cover…

One!
.
.
.
.
.
.
Two!
.
.
.
.
.
.
Thr-kickout!

Abyss remains on the attack with a series of Elbow Drops. One… Two…
He drops for the third one as the adrenaline kicks in. He roars, rallying the crowd behind him and whips Morgan into the corner.

Morgan staggers without falling to the center of the ring as Abyss sets for the Black Hole Slam – Morgan counters and both men collapse to the mat again! Morgan reaches down to the floor outside, grabbing a trash-can lid and bringing it into the ring as both men use the ropes to get to their feet.

Morgan tosses the lid at Abyss – who catches it in some surprise – Morgan runs at him – CARBON FOOTPRINT THROUGH THE TRASH CAN LID!


The crowd boo as Morgan drops for the cover, exhausted…

One!
.
.
.
.
.
.
Two!
.
.
.
.
.
.
Three!




The referee calls the victory, signalling for the bell! Morgan has won a war!

Ring Announcer: Here is your winner – Matt Morgan!

Necrominus: What? Morgan won? What kind of crazy universe does that happen in?


Billy-Bob: Ours, Necro. Hopefully now they can put the strait-jacket on that lunatic and lock him back in the asylum!

Necrominus: We didn’t even get to see Janice!

Morgan is on one knee, arm raised in the air as the referee helps him to stand. He stands tall over his fallen rival, smirking at him as the crowd boos furiously.





*Backstage*

Jenny Jameson: I’m backstage here with our NCW Tag Team Champions – Scott Hall and X-Pac, better known as…


X-Pac: The KLIQ, baby – and don’t you forget. Hey, haven’t I seen you somewhere before? I could give you some… pointers.

X-Pac eyes Jenny lustfully as she rolls her eyes.

Jenny: That’s Jenna – I’m Jenny. We’re not even related!

Hall: No-one cares. Take a hike, bitch.

Hall grabs the mic from Jenny who scurries off down the hall.

Hall: Hey yo (loud cheers) – tonight we put the Outlaws out of business.

X-Pac: And if you not down with that – we’ve got two words for ya…

Hall and Pac: **** YOU!

Hall and X-Pac drop the mic and walk off screen, as the fans boo them in the arena.





*Back to the Arena*

Necrominus: Once again, I have to apologise on behalf of NCW for the language used.


Billy-Bob: Get over it, Necro! Let’s get set for the next match! This is one I cannot wait for!

A package shows, displaying the highlights of the feud between Muhammad Hussan and Andre the Giant.

Necrominus: There you have it folks – the rivalry for the Natural United States Championship spilled over on the last episode of Destruction – so much so that we don’t know even at this point the condition of Andre The Giant.

Billy-Bob: I know, it’s great! Hussan could end up as champion without having to lift a finger tonight!

Ring Announcer: Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is a steel cage match scheduled for one fall and it is for the Natural United States Championship! You may win by pinfall or submission, or by escaping the cage with both feet hitting the floor.

Introducing first, being accompanied to the ring by Daivari, from Detroit, Michigan - Muhammad Hassan!

The crowd boos as Hassan and Daivari make their way onto the stage. They wave to the fans, almost looking shocked that they would boo them. Hussan climbs into the cage through the door and awaits his opponent.

Billy-Bob: I can't wait for this Necro. A good old fashion steel cage match. Its like Thunderdome, except two men enter and only one can leave.

Necrominus: I can't say I'm surprised at your enthusiasm Jiminy. This could get ugly given the personal issues between Andre and Hussan. You'll remember it was only one week ago that Hussan and his cronies tried to take out Andre’s knee!

And the opponent, from Grenoble, France, standing at 8 feet tall, ladies and gentlemen he is the 8th Wonder of the World – Andre The Giant!

The crowd cheers loudly as Andre’s music plays. It plays – and continues to play – but there is no sign of Andre! The crowd quickly starts booing as Hussan smirks in the ring and nods at Daivari. Andre’s music stops.

Necrominus: The knee injury… it was just too much to recover quickly from.

Billy-Bob: This is great – we have a new champ right here!

The referee, uncertainly looks around as the crowd are furious. Hussan grabs him by the collar and demands him to ring the bell!



The referee shuts the cage door and padlocks it as Hussan awaits the inevitable announcement….






WAIT!! Andre comes up THROUGH THE RING!







The crowd goes wild as Hussan has no idea of the enraged Andre, his knee in a brace – standing behind him. Daivari is busy trying to warn Hussan – who slowly turns around – Andre grabs him by the head and slams him face first into the cage wall!

Daivari – helpless on the outside starts motioning towards the back – Test and Albert come running down to ringside… but the cage is locked and the referee inside has the only key!!

Hussan is being thrown from one side of the cage to the other as the three men on the outside remonstrate with the ref – Daivari orders Test and Albert to climb the cage!

The three men each climb up one side of the cage, trying desperately to help Hussan – Andre throws Hussan into the wall on Daivari’s side – bouncing him off the cage and nearly decapitating him on the barricade! Test is almost to the top of the cage now as Andre drops Hussan for a moment and stomps over to Albert’s wall – the big man is slower than the others at ascending – Andre pulls his legs from under him and Albert goes crashing onto the ramp! Test is at the top of the cage now and seemingly getting a little aware of his situation – Andre eyes him with pure rage and charges the cage wall – ramming it with a shoulder block – Test screams and loses his balance – crashing through the Spanish Announce Table!






-Holy Sh*t! Holy Sh*t! Holy Sh*t!-

Necrominus: My God – Test could be broken in half!!

The crowd roars their approval as Andre turns his attention back to Hussan – his equalisers all dealt with. Hussan is on his knees – pleading with Andre who advances – Andre nearly takes his head off with a big boot!

Billy-Bob: Please, Andre – show some mercy!

Necrominus: Like Hussan did when he cost him his shot at the World Title? Or how about when he tried to handicap him and smash his knee?

Hussan lies motionless on the mat – Andre drags him to his feet – and nails the double underhook suplex! He thinks about the cover – and shakes his head! He motions for the ref to open the door!

The referee opens the padlock and Andre goes to exit the cage – Albert is up! Albert runs around and nails a bicycle kick on the cage door – it slams closed and onto Andre’s knee!

Andre roars in pain as Albert quickly wrenches the door open and climbs inside – knocking Andre backwards with lefts and rights. He grabs the staggering Giant with both arms, setting him for a huge Baldur Bomb – he can’t get him up! Andre fights back with a headbutt!

The two brutes slug it out toe to toe on the mat as Hussan crawls towards the cage door.

Necrominus: No! Not this way dammit! Hussan is going to slither to the NC-US Championship!

Andre whips Albert against the ropes – and dives into him – CRASH!

The cage wall explodes – sending Albert and Andre tumbling to the floor – Hussan is still in the ring! This match is over!!!

Ring Announcer: Here is your winner – and NEEEEEEEWWWWWW Natural United States Champion – Andre The Giant!

The crowd erupts as Andre staggers to his feet amid the debris of the broken cage wall. The referee slides out of the ring and hands him the title!

Necrominus: Despite all the obstacles thrown in his path – Andre has defied the odds to become the Natural United States Champion!


Billy-Bob: I can’t believe it! What a match – how are we going to continue tonight? The ring is destroyed – the steel cage is ruined – what happens now?

Necrominus: I’m not sure, Jiminy Billy-Bob – one thing’s for sure NCW will never be the same again after tonight!

The crowd cheer Andre as he raises the belt aloft. Surveying the carnage he has created – he smiles and slowly heads for the back soaking in the adulation of his fans. Crew workers rush the ring to try and repair the cage and the torn ring mat for the next match.






*Backstage*






Jenny Jameson is with Jeff Hardy backstage.

Jenny: I’m here with Jeff Hardy, the number 1 contender for the NCW Heavyweight Title. Jeff, with all that your opponent has said – and done – to you over the past number of weeks… I have to ask – can you be fully focused for tonight?


Hardy: It’s a fair question, Jenny. Most would look at me and probably agree with a lot of what Cena had to say. And that’s fine. Because I don’t do it for them. I do it for those who cheer me – each and every night! So as far as I’m concerned – talk is cheap. John Cena, now you have to back it up. Because there is only one way I am not beating you and leaving here tonight the NCW Champion – and that’s in a body bag. Cena – I’m coming for you… question is – are you ready?

Road Dogg and Billy Gunn walk onto the scene at this point.

Road Dogg: What is with the line plagiarism tonight? Listen Jeff, Gunn and I – we just want to wish you good luck tonight.

Jeff bumps fists with Road Dogg and Billy Gunn as the challenger for the NCW Title nods at Jenny and leaves the scene.

Jenny: And I’m now – apparently – here alongside the NCW Tag Team Championships challengers – Road Do…


Road Dogg: I’ll take it from here, Jenny. Thanks darling! Ladies and Gentlemen, children of all ages – NCW Natural Selection tonight proudly brings to you – THE SOON TO BE – SEVEN TIME – TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS OF THE WORLD – The Road Dogg Jessie James, The Bad Ass Billy Gunn – The New Age Outlaws!!!!

Billy Gunn: And if you’re not down with that – we’ve got two words for ya…

Crowd: SUCK IT!!!

The arena is rocking with cheers as Gunn and Road Dogg smile into the camera.

Road Dogg: That’s how you do it. Tonight the Outlaws are not only gonna become 7 time Tag Champs – no no no… tonight we’re gonna get us some of two of the slimiest… the filthiest… the most low down, dirty, rotten scumbags that have ever graced a ring. Tonight we get – our payback.


Billy Gunn: And if you’re not down with…

Road Dogg: Come on Billy – we’ve done that shtick already. Oh screw it – one more time…


Billy Gunn: We’ve got two words for you!

Crowd: Suck it!!!

*Back to the Arena*

Ring Announcer: The following contest – is the Tag Team Gauntlet! One of the team of Monty Brown and Michael Tarver will have to survive for 5 minutes – alone!


Introducing first, from Detroit, Michigan – The Alpha Male… Monty Brown!

As the lights dim, Brown makes his way on stage. His music plays as he walks down the ramp to boos. He makes his way into the ring, before pacing the ropes.

Necrominus: Monty Brown and Michael Tarver, a young and fresh team but with a bad attitude. Brown will have to run the gauntlet before any help from his partner arrives tonight! And it’s no more than they deserve after their antics in the past number of weeks!

Billy-Bob: It will be a stern test indeed, but I don't think they will be stopped. They have a near perfect mix of cunning, ferocity, and momentum right now.

Ring Announcer: And his opponents – from Brooklyn, New York – the team of Shad Gaspard and JTG – Cryme Tyme!!

The crowd takes a moment to adjust to cheer the arrival of Cryme Tyme. The two pace around the ramp, hyping up the crowd. They then make their way to the ring in typical fashion, clearly determined for this encounter.

Necrominus: Cryme Tyme, out for some personal retribution, looking ready for tonight!

Billy-Bob: Why are there ‘Y’s’ where there should be ‘I’s in their name, Necro? Can they not spell properly?

Necrominus: It’s a play on words, Jiminy.

Billy-Bob: Well in America we speak English!

Necrominus: Uhhh, we are in Ireland Jiminy!!

As Necrominus and Jiminy Billy-Bob wrap up their bickering, the referee calls for the bell. JTG and Brown start it off, with Brown working to secure a side headlock. JTG manages to fight out, pushing Brown into the ropes. He comes off and JTG leapfrogs, before he monkey flips Brown. The crowd cheers as JTG pops to his feet clapping his hands. Brown backs off, and drops to the outside, clearly trying to wear down the 5 minute counter that is now at 4:15. JTG goes to follow Brown to the outside – Brown grabs his legs as he’s sliding and dumps him on his head onto the floor! Brown then rolls JTG quickly into the ring, looking for the quick win…
.
.
One!
.

Not even two before JTG kicks out. Brown keeps up the pressure with a couple of short shots to the face before he lifts JTG to his feet. A couple of knife edge chops to the chest soften up JTG before Brown Irish whips him across the ring. JTG rebounds, looking for a missile dropkick, but Brown drops down and out of the ring again!!

As JTG crashes to the mat Brown pulls him to the outside again, the clock now showing 3:31. Brown hits JTG with a few clubbing blows on the outside, before whipping him into the barricade back first! The referee admonishes Brown as he backs off and rolls into the ring, with just 3 minutes now left on the clock.

JTG staggers back to his feet, dazed and rolls into the ring before the ref can count him out. He dives for the tag to Shad – Brown drags him back to the centre of the ring and applies a side headlock on the mat!

Necrominus: Typical antics from Brown, desperately trying to run down the clock.

Billy-Bob: Well clearly, I mean he’s only one man Necro!

JTG struggles to get back to his feet, but Brown switches an armbar. As he wrenches on it he pulls JTG back from his corner. He drags JTG up – and drops him with the Alpha Slam from nowhere!

Shad breaks up the count. The referee admonishes Shad, ordering him back to his corner – Brown rakes JTG’s eyes and stands him up again – setting him for the Alpha Bomb! JTG wriggles out, and catches Brown in a small package!

Brown just manages to get a shoulder up. JTG pops out and starts to crawl for his corner – with the clock now reading 1:23. Brown grabs a hold of JTG’s leg – JTG swings around and connects with an enziguiri! Brown lets go and goes down – JTG makes the tag!!

Necrominus: JTG, showing great resiliency out there tonight. He just refuses to stay down.

Billy-Bob: Against one man? And there’s two of them!

The crowd explodes as Shad enters the ring – nailing the recovering Brown with a stiff clothesline. Shad grabs Brown, who is sprawled out in the ring, and tries to pull him to his feet. Brown kicks away, giving him just enough space to scramble to his feet. Shad charges, but Brown uses Shad’s momentum against him, leaving Shad to crash into the turnbuckle.

The counter is now at 0:30! Brown whips Shad against the ropes, looking for the Pounce – Shad sidesteps him – JTG is back in the ring – G-9 to Monty Brown! It’s over! Shad drops for the cover as the counter hits 0:00..

Shad is pulled from the ring by Michael Tarver!!

Necrominus: Chaos has broken out on the outside!


Billy-Bob: They couldn’t get the job done in 5 minutes! Now Tarver will make them pay!

Shad counters a right hand by Tarver on the outside, shoving Tarver backwards against the barricade. He rolls back into the ring and hauls up the recovering Brown. He alternates between chop and punch, lighting Brown up. Shad takes a step back and delivers a vicious clothesline to the Brown. Brown goes down like he has been shot and Shad can sense the end. He bounces off the ropes and aims for Brown with a huge boot - He connects! He hooks the leg...

NO! Tarver had grabbed the foot of Brown and placed it on the rope, unseen by the ref until now. He waves off the finish, signaling the match to continue.

Billy-Bob: Heads up move there by Tarver to save this.

Necrominus: You call it heads up, I call it blatant cheating.

Billy-Bob: Only cheating if you get caught Necro.

Tarver rolls into the ring and begins to beat down Shad. The ref urges him to leave, beginning his five count. After a series of punches and stomps, the ref sternly warns he will disqualify him, prompting him to leave the ring. Brown has begun to stir, and begins to advance on Shad. The two reach their feet and start to trade blows. Both men are on wobbly legs, showing the effects of the match. Brown gains control and whips Shad into the ropes and looks for The Pounce again. As he spins, JTG tags Gaspard, who eats the move and crumbles to the ground.

Brown goes for the pin, as JTG hops in. As Tarver shouts at his partner to pay attention, JTG knocks him off the apron with a dropkick. Brown stands and eats a jab combo! He tries to follow it up with a wheel kick, but Brown catches him and throws him down with a modified t-bone suplex. As JTG is down he stomps away at his spine, before he lifts him, again looking for the Alpha Bomb into the corner.

As he hoists him up, JTG counters into a hurricanrana pin!!

Cryme Tyme steal the win!

Ring Announcer: Here are your winners, Cryme Tyme!

Necrominus: What a match! Cryme Tyme give Brown and Tarver their just desserts here tonight!



Billy-Bob: They had their moments, but Brown and Tarver came up just short. The 5 minute advantage just wore Brown down too much!

As Shad helps JTG to his feet, the two share a hug. The men celebrate in the ring as Brown and Tarver look on, dejected from the floor. They shake their heads and head backstage as Cryme Tyme soak up the atmosphere in the ring.

NCW Natural Selection – Part 2

Ring Announcer: The following match is scheduled for one fall! And is for the NCW Tag Team Championships!

‘Are You Ready?’

Ring Announcer: Introducing first, they are the NCW Tag Team Champions, X-Pac and Scott Hall – The Kliq!

The arena erupts in boos as Scott Hall and X-Pac make their way to the stage, strutting and posing with the Tag Titles. They cockily stroll to the ring, X-Pac sporting sunglasses and a leather jacket before rolling in and making the X sign to their pyros.

Necrominus: Tonight Billy Gunn and Road Dogg FINALLY get their hands on their former friends – turned rivals – in the ring.

Billy-Bob: They don’t stand a chance, Necro! X-Pac and Hall have this in the bag!

‘Oh You Didn’t Know? Your Ass Better Call Somebody!!’

Ring Announcer: And the challengers, the team of Road Dogg and Billy Gunn, The New Age Outlaws!

The Outlaws come to the stage to the largest ovation of the night so far. The crowd are rocking as Gunn and Road Dogg eye Hall and X-Pac intently down the ramp. The referee orders the two men in the ring back as Gunn and Road Dogg get on the apron and salute the fans.



While Road Dogg and Gunn pose on the ropes, Hall and Pac see an opportunity and attack from behind, with Pac pushing Road Dogg over the top and to the floor and Hall pulling Gunn down and drilling him with a clothesline to the back of the head. He quickly rolls Gunn over for a pin, but barely gets a one count.

The champions immediately start laying in boots, with the referee unsuccessfully trying to get one man to go to the apron, until X-Pac sees Road Dogg beginning to stir on the floor. He climbs out to the apron and kicks him hard in the face, causing him to crumple to the floor again. Inside the ring, Scott Hall has a side triangle choke locked in, following up on a pair of knee drops to Gunn’s head. The ropes are within his reach, however, and Gunn uses them to force a break.

Necrominus: As unsavory as it was, The Kliq’s attack before the bell has given them quite the advantage.

Billy-Bob: Hall and X-Pac are determined to prove that they are the greatest tag team in NCW history and they will not let anything stand in their way.

Necrominus: A great team can win without jumping opponents from behind, Billy-Bob.

Hall pulls Gunn back up and whips him into his corner just as X-Pac climbs back onto the apron. X-Pac reaches out for a tag, which, after a right hand to Gunn by Hall, he receives. The champions stomp away at Gunn as the ref tries to get Hall out of the ring. Instead, he charges across the ring and hits a kick straight to the head of Road Dogg, who had finally made it back to the apron. He rolls to the floor to stop the count, walking past the prone body of Road Dogg to get back to the corner.

In the ring, X-Pac pulls Gunn out of the corner, and sends him crashing to the ground with a spin kick to the head. Rather than attempting a pin, Pac begins to drive knees into Gunn’s midsection. After five, X-Pac hooks the leg for a pin -

Gunn kicks out.

With Road Dogg starting to make his way back up onto the apron, Gunn tries to roll toward his corner. Before he can make any progress, X-Pac drags him back to the opposing corner, hooks a half crab, and tags in Hall who begins to stomp on the back of Gunn’s head. The referee counts to four before threatening to disqualify the champions to finally get X-Pac out of the ring.

While he is distracted, Hall stands on the neck of Gunn, using the ropes for added leverage. The ref turns around to find Gunn’s shoulders pinned to the mat by Hall, but his foot is on the bottom rope. Rather than immediately follow up, Hall charges across the ring to knock Road Dogg off the apron once more. Instead, he eats a right hand. Hall stumbles backward before charging again, this time suffering a hot shot and staggers back into a roll-up from Gunn -

Gunn kicks out again!


Hall is quickly back to his feet while Gunn crawls toward Road Dogg. Hall grabs his opponent’s leg, but takes a series of boots to the face. Gunn crawls closer and reaches for the tag, but suddenly Road Dogg falls from the apron, thanks to the efforts of X-Pac who had dropped to the floor and made his way around the ring.

Necrominus: The New Age Outlaws have no shot at winning if Road Dogg can’t get into this match.

Billy-Bob: Hall and X-Pac are working great as a team!

X-Pac kicks the Road Dogg in the gut before setting for the X-Factor. Road Dogg is able to slip out before drilling X-Pac with a hard clothesline. He climbs back to the apron, but during the scuffle on the floor, Hall was able to connect with the RAZOR’S EDGE on Billy Gunn! Gunn is out!

Road Dogg charges into the ring as Hall goes for the pin, and begins stomping away before a count can even begin. While the ref tries to get Road Dogg back to the apron, X-Pac rolls into the ring behind him and The Kliq prepare for a tag team maneuver. Hall sets up in the center of the ring and X-Pac charges off the ropes. He leapfrogs Hall and sets for a double stomp, but Gunn rolls out of the way!!!

X-Pac yells in pain and grabs his left knee. Hall pulls Gunn up, but is the victim of a gutbuster! Hall drops to the mat and rolls to the floor, X-Pac struggles to get his injured knee back under him, and Gunn crawls toward Road Dogg as the referee turns and begins a ten count.

Necrominus: This is Gunn’s chance! He needs to make the tag here!

Gunn lunges forward and makes the tag to Road Dogg!!

He immediately charges into the ring at X-Pac, who is using the ropes to stay upright, and hits him with a running knee, using the second rope to drive it right into X-Pac’s jaw. He bounces off the ropes and stumbles forward a bit. Before he falls to the mat, Road Dogg grabs the bad leg and pulls X-Pac down with a dragon screw, causing even more damage to the knee. X-Pac cries out, but before he can do anything else, Road Dogg rolls him onto his stomach and stomps away at the knee again.

Luckily for him, Hall rolls back into the ring and kicks Road Dogg in the midsection. Hall heads back toward his corner, but drags X-Pac with him so he can tag himself in when he gets back onto the apron. Road Dogg is on his hands and knees, but is on his back after Hall deadlifts him and tosses him overhead with a gutwrench throw. He hooks the leg for a pin, 1… and Road Dogg kicks out before two.

Both men scramble back to their feet and slowly circle each other. We get the first lock up of the match, with Hall managing to go behind on Road Dogg. He starts to lift him for a German suplex, but Road Dogg manages to block and go behind himself and successfully hit a standing full nelson slam and goes for the cover –

Hall kicks out!!

Both men get back to their feet, but this time Road Dogg heads for the ropes and drops Hall with a clothesline. Hall pops back up, but eats another clothesline, and a third time completes the trifecta!

Necrominus: The Kliq tried their best to keep Road Dogg out of this match, and now we’re seeing why.

Billy-Bob: Scott Hall and X-Pac have proven to be up to every challenge they have faced so far. This will be no different.

Road Dogg makes his way to the corner and tags Billy Gunn who ascends the second turnbuckle. Road Dogg lifts Hall onto his shoulders and Gunn jumps to complete the doomsday device, but Hall hits an uppercut square on Gunn’s jaw!

His limp body falls from the air while Road Dogg walks around the ring, trying to figure out what to do next.

Unfortunately for him, he wanders a bit too close to Hall’s corner, allowing X-Pac to make a blind tag to the leg of Hall. X-Pac gingerly climbs to the top rope as Hall fights off Road Dogg’s shoulders with punches, before shoving him forward for a double foot stomp from X-Pac. Hall rolls Road Dogg to the floor while X-Pac rubs his bad knee. Suddenly both members of the Kliq remember Gunn. Hall pulls him to the center of the ring and X-Pac hooks both legs,

Gunn just manages to pop a shoulder up!!

The champions look at each other and signal that it is time for the end. Hall lifts the mostly limp body of Gunn and sets him for a powerbomb, while X-Pac climbs the turnbuckle.

X-Pac sets for a high impact X-Factor, but just before he leaps, Road Dogg chops the bad knee of Pac, causing him to be crotched on the top rope. Hall drops Gunn and comes over to aid his partner, but is dumped over the ropes to floor head-first!

Road Dogg climbs to the top, hooks X-Pac, and flies off with the superplex!
Gunn slowly gets back to his feet and points to X-Pac, calling for the end. Both members of the Outlaws stalk him, and when X-Pac finally gets up, Outlaws set him – FAME-ASSER!

He crashes to the mat, and Gunn rolls into the cover…

It’s over!!

Ring Announcer: Here are your winners, and the NEEEEEEEWWWWWWW NCW Tag Team Champions – The New Age Outlaws!!

Necrominus: The Kliq had a solid game plan in trying to single out Gunn and his concussion, but his resilience was much higher than they had bargained for.

Billy-Bob: This is an absolute tragedy! Those belts belong to The Kliq!!!

Road Dogg and Billy Gunn celebrate in the ring while the referee and Hall help X-Pac to the back. After a few minutes, the new champions make their way to the back as well.



*Backstage*




Jenny Jameson is with the NCW Champion, John Cena.

Jenny: John, tonight you defend the NCW Title for the very first time. After all the animosity, and how personal this has become – what are your final thoughts.

Cena: Jeff Hardy is the symbol of everything wrong with wrestling fans today (loud boos). Tonight… heck, I’m done. Talk is cheap, Jenny – Jeff said it himself. Tonight I tear that symbol in half, leave him broken and battered on the mat – and you will all know why THE CHAMP IS HERE… to stay.

Cena gruffly pushes the mic from his face and walks off camera.





*Back to the Arena*





Ring Announcer: Ladies and Gentlemen, it is now time for the INFERNO MATCH! The only way to win this match… is to light your opponent ON FIRE!




‘WE WANT FIRE! WE WANT FIRE! WE WANT FIRE!’




The crowd cheers loudly as the ring crew are finalising the preparations for the coming match.




*Baseball music hits*




The crowd boos as Pete Rose comes to the ring, his posse of David Otunga, Adam Bomb and Brian Adams in tow. He gets into the ring and Otunga forcibly grabs the mic from the ring announcer, handing it to Pete.

Pete: That will be all for now… I’ll take it from here! Although I suspect that this won’t take too long.

The crowd starts up a ‘YOU SUCK’ chant as Pete Rose smirks in the ring.

Pete: Introducing first…

‘I’m The Boogeyman! And I’m Coming to Get You!’




The crowd boos even louder as The Boogeyman crawls to the stage through his smoke, trademark clock in hand. He has a maniacal grin on his face, and begins to crawl down the ramp towards the ring.

Pete: From The Bottomless Pit – he is MY instrument of destruction – The BOOGEYMAN!!

The Boogeyman enters the ring and shimmies around in typical fashion. KRONIK and Otunga eye the Boogeyman, fear in their eyes – he smashes his clock over his own head! Otunga jumps and they back off to the other side of the ring as The Boogeyman eyes the stage intently, that sick grin on his face.

Pete: This is pointless! Glenn Jacobs is dead! Kane is dead! He burned before you all last week! You!

Pete motions to the ring announcer:

Pete: Give him a mic! Announce him as the winner – and me as the NEW NCW General Manager! Do it now!

The ring announcer is handed a mic by the stage crew and reluctantly puts it to his lips.

Ring Announcer: Your winner…

THE LIGHTS GO OUT!!





The crowd goes wild as Pete and his cronies stand in the ring, in total darkness!





‘WE WANT KANE! WE WANT KANE! WE WANT KANE!’





A video suddenly plays on the tron.

Voice: A lone flame in the darkness..

A candle is shown in the middle of the stage, flickering brightly.

Voice: The fire had been extinguished. But it can never die. This fire will burn once again… and all who stand in its way will be engulfed by the flames. Be careful what you wish for….

THE LIGHTS COME BACK ON!



PETE ROSE IS TERRIFIED IN THE RING!




BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!


Pyros explode at the top of the stage, seemingly engulfing it entirely…


KANE’S MUSIC PLAYS!




The arena comes unglued as Kane stalks to the ring!!



IT’S KANE! MASKED KANE!



Pete Rose and his cronies back out of the ring and take refuge in the timekeeper’s area as The Boogeyman stands tall alone in the centre of the ring. Kane stalks down the aisle towards him – a menacing look of sheer anger on his face.

Necrominus: OH MY GOD! What have they unleashed! Kane is back!

Billy-Bob: I don’t know, Necro – but whatever it is – it can’t be good for anyone!!

Kane walks up the steps, regarding the still sneering Boogeyman with a look of malice, before stepping over the top rope and into the face of his tormentor! The crowd cheer loudly as the two men stand in the centre of the ring, nose to nose – Kane draws his arms up and drops them down – exploding his pyros!!!! The sides of the ring light up as the pyros go off - this match is at boiling point already!!






The bell rings and the Inferno match is underway. Kane and The Boogeyman slowly circle each other, illuminated by the fire around them. They tie-up and struggle for the advantage until Kane manages to back Boogeyman into the ropes.

The flames singe his hair, and the Boogeyman knees Kane in the gut and pushes him away. Boogeyman examines his hair, noticing the blackened tips, and a disturbing smirk crosses his face. Kane rushes towards his opponent and tackling him to the ground before unleashing a series of right hands to the head of Boogeyman.

Necrominus: The Boogeyman is trying to play mind games, like he’s been doing for weeks now, but Kane is having none of it!

Billy-Bob: It feels like a diminishing margin of returns…

Kane pulls up Boogeyman by that burned hair and Irish Whips him into the corner. He snap-mares Boogeyman out of the corner and applies a chin-lock tightly. Boogeyman is trying to squirm his way out, as Kane squeezes on the neck area. Boogeyman manages to swing an elbow, which catches Kane on the side of the head, knocking him loopy for a moment.

With Kane on all fours, Boogeyman manages to get up first and kicks Kane hard in the gut. Kane clutches his stomach as Boogeyman stalks him. He delivers a Legdrop across Kane’s throat before rolling him towards the flames.

Kane feels the flames at his back, which seems to snap him back into focus and he begins to hit Boogeyman with some hard right hands. Boogeyman lets up on the pressure, holding his head from the shots he took. Kane manages to distance himself from the flames by getting to a corner and pulling himself to his feet. Boogeyman is up too, but dazed, as Kane rushes at him and hits a hard clothesline, the force of which causes flames to shoot up from the apron!

Billy-Bob: It’s getting hotter and hotter by the second in here…

Necrominus: One of these competitors will feel the heat more than any of us tonight…

With the advantage, Kane grabs Boogeyman and pulls him up before backing him into the corner. He grabs Boogeyman by the legs and causes him to teeter over the top rope, the flames threatening to engulf him. Boogeyman, however, frees one of his legs and kicks Kane hard in the head. Kane shakes the cobwebs out before charging at Boogeyman again, but he sees it coming and hits a Drop Toe Hold, causing Kane to fall onto the middle rope. With the flames right in his face, Kane quickly pushes himself up to his feet to get away, sweat glistening on his face from the intense heat. He turns around into a kick to the gut from Boogeyman, followed by a pump-handle slam! Boogeyman yells ‘Good-night’ at Kane, who lies writhing on the mat!

Boogeyman pushes himself up to his knees, smirking that sick grin again before walking towards the corner. He motions for Pete Rose to hand him a steel chair – and leans across the turnbuckles to grab it. Kane pops to his feet and shoves Boogeyman – sending him head over heels to the floor below!

Billy-Bob: Shouldn’t we turn off the flames so Boogeyman can get back in the ring?

Necrominus: I don’t think that’s what Kane has in mind!

Indeed, Kane has climbed to the top rope himself! As Boogeyman pulls himself to his feet with help of the crowd barricade, Kane leaps off the top rope and ploughs into Boogeyman with his trademark clothesline!!


Both men are out of the ring, but Kane doesn’t seem to care, adrenaline flowing through his veins. He goes around to the announcers’ area and grabs a steel chair from ringside to a big pop from the crowd! With Boogeyman getting up, Kane smashes the steel chair against his head, causing a loud CRACK to echo around the arena.

Blood starts to flow down Boogeyman’s face as Kane turns to face the onrushing David Otunga. BOOM! Otunga goes down from a vile chair shot and lies motionless. KRONIK try to approach Kane but he waves them off with the chair! Boogeyman pops up and blasts Kane with a low blow! He whips Kane into the Steel Steps! Kane hits with such impact that the top section of the stairs crashes away from the base.

Boogeyman wipes the sweat and blood from his hands before licking it off his fingers. He grabs the dented chair that Kane had discarded and picks it up. With that sick smile back again, Boogeyman motions to Pete Rose who pulls out a small container of lighter fluid! Rose tosses the fluid to Boogeyman, who sprays the fluid across the chair before using the flames on the apron to set the chair on fire! He walks over to Kane, who is still crumpled on the base of the steps, before lifting up the flaming chair!

Necrominus: Somebody has to stop this!

Billy-Bob: It’s well within the rules, Necro!

As Boogeyman is about to swing the chair onto the head of Kane, he delivers a sneaky lowblow of his own! The crowd give a big pop as Boogeyman drops the chair and crumbles to the ground. Kane grabs the chair and raises it up to huge cheers from the crowd. Without any more hesitation, he smashes the flaming chair across Boogeyman’s back! Boogeyman cries out in agony, his bare back scorched but not on fire!

Billy-Bob: Oh, now you’re not complaining about the use of a flaming chair, Necro?

The crowd begin to chant “ONE MORE TIME!” and Kane is happy to oblige, smashing the chair across Boogeyman’s back one more time. KRONIK rush Kane at this point – and Adam Bomb is met with a flaming chair to the gut! He screams in agony and fear as the flames from the chair leap to his wrestling attire! Brian Adams immediately stops and tries to put out the flames on his tag partner – Kane levels Adams with another shot to the back! Paramedics rush the scene as both members of KRONIK now roll around on floor, screaming and beating at the flames!

With all the members of his posse down around the ringside area – Pete Rose looks like he’s seen a ghost! He tries to run – Kane catches him by the throat! Pete begs Kane for forgiveness as the monster shakes his head and sets him –



TOMBSTONE TO PETE ROSE ON THE FLOOR!

Necrominus: Oh my God…

Billy-Bob: Get some help out here, now!! Pete Rose may be dead!

Kane walks back over towards the still writhing Boogeyman, and places the chair on the ground, carefully this time, before picking up Boogeyman and dragging him to the flaming chair. The crowd holds their collective breaths as Kane sets Boogeyman up for the Tombstone onto the flaming chair! But Boogeyman manages to push Kane away, and he hits the corner post head-first!

Boogeyman drops to his knees and grabs both the flaming chair as well as the lighter fluid. He sprays the lighter fluid onto the base section of the steel steps, then drops the chair onto it. The steel steps burst into the flames, and Boogeyman grabs a completely dazed Kane and drags him to the steps. He sets Kane –



BOOGEYSLAM ONTO THE FLAMING STEEL STEPS!!!




The crowd collectively gasp in horror and Kane screams out in agony, and as he rolls off the steps, his ring gear is clearly on fire!

Ring Announcer: Here is your winner, The Boogeyman!!

And… as a result – the NEW General Manager of NCW – Pete Rose!

Necrominus: But… what just happened?


Billy-Bob: I’ll tell you what happened – Pete Rose now has sole control over Natural Championship Wrestling! Kane is out of here!

Necrominus: That’s if he ever wakes up…

The crowd boos loudly as Boogeyman kneels down by the motionless Pete Rose. EMTs have finally extinguished Kane and more rush to the scene with a stretcher in tow. As the EMTs load Rose onto the stretcher, strapping him in a neck brace for extra support – KANE SITS UP!

The crowd pops as Kane advances on a clearly exhausted Boogeyman menacingly – Boogeyman simply starts to laugh! Kane looks on in bemused anger – CHOKESLAM TO THE BOOGEYMAN! Boogeyman is unconscious at ringside!

The EMTs have finished loading Peter Rose onto the stretcher and make quickly for the back as Kane rolls Boogeyman into the ring – the flames now extinguished. Kane drags him up –


TOMBSTONE! TOMBSTONE TO THE BOOGEYMAN!


The crowd cheers loudly as Kane stands tall and sets his pyros alight - for the last time in NCW.





*Backstage*




Jenny Jameson is with the NEW NCW Tag Team Champions – Road Dogg and Billy Gunn.

Jenny: Gents, congrats on your big win! How does it feel to be 7 time tag team champions?

Road Dogg: I gotta tell you, Jenny – there were times when I didn’t believe it would happen. But good ol’ Mr. Ass here is one tough cookie – we pulled through – got the W… and the titles!

Jenny: But I have to ask you, having just seen what transpired in the ring – what is next for The Outlaws? More importantly – what’s next for NCW?

Road Dogg: Let’s not worry about the future tonight, Jenny darling. Ol’ Road Dogg and Billy Gunn are gonna crack a few brewskies and watch the NCW Title match – then we’re gonna hit Dublin – as only Outlaws can do! As for our future… well that’s in the hands of the 2017… drafters…

Road Dogg trails off as Monty Brown and Michael Tarver walk on-screen, clapping.

Brown: Nicely done, Doggie. When you’re done sniffing Mr. Ass over there – how about you put those belts up against a real tag team?

Gunn: A real team? I just saw you morons get beat clean as a whistle by our buddies Cryme Tyme!

Tarver: They got lucky. Keep running your mouth – and I might have to break your jaw.

Road Dogg and Gunn smirk and go face to face with Brown and Tarver.

Suddenly, they get jumped from behind by Scott Hall and X-Pac!

The four men beat down the Outlaws on the floor, putting the boots to them as Hall starts screaming:

‘You got lucky! Let’s see your punk ass get up from this!’

The four men are relentless in their assault on the Outlaws, until security finally comes into haul them back from the motionless Tag Champs.
Hall and X-Pac nod at Brown and Tarver and as the former champs turn to leave, Hall says:

‘Don’t be getting any ideas about those belts, boys – they’re coming back home real soon!’

X-Pac waggles his tongue at a cowering Jenny Jameson before the camera cuts back to the arena.





*Back to Arena*

Necrominus: A sickening 4 on 2 assault on our tag champs!

Billy-Bob: They had it coming – running their mouths like that! The Kliq were robbed tonight!

Necrominus: How can you even say that? It doesn’t make any sense!

Billy-Bob: But now, we get a little more serious.

Necrominus: Yes, Billy-Bob… we now move to the main event of Natural Selection. The ladder match for the NCW Heavyweight Title – between the champion John Cena, and the number one contender… Jeff Hardy. And this one has got way too personal – very quickly.

Billy-Bob: There aren’t many times when we see eye to eye, Necro – but this is one of them. John Cena has taken issue with the fan’s preference of Hardy over him – and it got real ugly.

Necrominus: It’s more than that though. Something has snapped in Cena. There’s more at play here than popularity – Cena flat out hates Hardy!

Billy-Bob: Well, one thing’s for sure – it will all come to a head – right now.

The crowd come unglued as the music of Jeff Hardy hits and the challenger bursts onto the stage with huge energy. He poses on the top of the ramp as the crowd chants his name before making a beeline for the ring, running down the ramp and sliding into the ring before posing on the ropes in typical fashion, as the crowd chant his name. Once the chanting has died down slightly, Hardy leaps back to the ring mat and stands facing the ramp… as the music of John Cena hits.



The crowd erupts in a frenzy of boos as ‘My Time is Now’ blasts through the speakers, and Cena comes to the stage with a wry smirk on his face. He reveals his ‘Embrace The Hate’ t-shirt, and conducts the crowd as they sing along to his theme tune



‘John Cena Sucks! John Cena Sucks! John Cena Sucks! John Cena Sucks!’




He stares down the ramp at his rival and challenger, before going to salute the fans… he turns it into a middle finger salute and flips them off!

This incites the fans even more, and the volume of the booing rises until it seems the roof is going to come off the arena.


Cena strolls down to the ring, foregoing his typical sprint and smirking at the fans who are yelling obscenities at him at ringside. He walks up the steps, enters under the top rope, and unbelts the NCW Title from around his waist, before posing with it right in Hardy’s face. The referee gets between them quickly before the announcer begins the introductions.

Ring Announcer: The following contest – is our main event for the evening – and is a LADDER MATCH – for the NCW Heavyweight Title!



Introducing first – the challenger – from Cameron, North Carolina – The Charismatic Enigma… JEFFFFFFFF HARDY!! (HUGE CHEERS)



And his opponent, from West Newbury, Massachusetts – he is the first, the only, the undisputed NCW Heavyweight Champion – JOHNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN CEEEEEEEEEEENA! (MASSIVE BOOS)

Cena and Hardy stay on different sides of the ring, staring intensely at each other. The referee displays the title for all to see, before hooking and hoisting it up and away from the ring, before calling for the bell to ring to start the match.



Cena and Hardy waste no time throwing blows at one another. Cena goes for a clothesline that Hardy ducks under to slide out of the ring towards a ladder. Grabbing it he pushes it in through the ropes, Cena grabs it inside the ring, and tugs on it before using it as a battering ram hitting Hardy sending him to the barricade.

With Hardy stunned, Cena begins to set up the ladder, facing Hardy who recovers quickly from the attack. Leaping, Hardy spring-boards the ropes and lands a splash on Cena with the ladder sandwiched in between them! Both men roll on the ground in pain - Hardy grabbing at his knee and Cena clutching his ribs.

Necrominus: Already this match is as hard hitting as we expected!

Billy-Bob: The title is a powerful motivator Necro!

Cena is the first one to rise to his feet, lifting Hardy up he slams Hardy into a turnbuckle! Hardy’s head bounces on the buckle and Cena attempts to follow it up with a clothesline into the corner but Hardy uses the ropes to spin and catch Cena with a mule kick - sending Cena crashing out of the ring.

On the outside, Cena climbs to his feet and uses a nearby ladder to gather and balance himself. Hardy allows no time to rest when he springs from the ropes onto the top of the ladder, the crowd in awe before he leaps from ladder and onto Cena again for a splash!

*Holy ****! Holy ****! Holy ****!*

Necrominus: Hardy is channelling all the pain, abuse and torment Cena has put him through to take the belt tonight!

Billy-Bob: That was absolutely brutal!

Hardy stumbles, but gets up and slides back into the ring, using the ladder that remains in the ring and props it up and starts to climb towards the title. Hardy makes it to the top rung to reach for the belt!

Cena shakes the cobwebs out of his head, sliding inside the ring he climbs up the same side of the ladder as Hardy did, setting him up for an Electric chair drop! Hoisting him off the ladder he looked about the booing crowd, shouting before leaping off with Hardy in tow, sending them both crashing to the ring!!!!

Billy-Bob: At this point I think they just enjoy falling off of ladders!

Necrominus: I might agree with you on that, Jiminy!

Both men are now down, pain etched on their faces, but Hardy was the one who took the brunt of the punishment from that move. Staggering, Cena begins to climb the ladder slowly, his back showing welts from the damage he gathered from this match. Hardy was knocked out cold, Cena could win it all… Hardy suddenly dives at the ladder and gives it an almighty shove!! Cena and the ladder topple over – Cena is nearly decapitated by the top rope! He flips over the top rope, collapses to the ground, and lies still.

The crowd is on their feet as Hardy, very gingerly now hauls himself up using the ropes. Cena is still motionless as Hardy grabs the ladder and starts to set it up again. He starts to climb it… then drops to the mat again, shaking his head.

Billy-Bob: What’s he doing? Hardy could win the title!

Necrominus: Hardy is not just looking to win the title, it seems – he’s looking for some payback!

Hardy slides out of the ring, a menacing look on his face. He grabs a chair from ringside and advances on Cena, who is barely staggering to his feet – Cena sees Hardy just in time and ducks the chair shot! Cena hightails it up the ramp!

Necrominus: Where’s he going? I never saw a ladder match won from the backstage area!!

Billy-Bob: Can you blame him??? Hardy’s a lunatic!!

Cena at this point has disappeared to the side of the stage, the crowd booing furiously as Jeff follows. Hardy goes to head backstage – Cena comes out of the main entrance behind him with a fire extinguisher! Hardy turns around – and gets sprayed in the face by Cena!

Hardy drops the chair, clawing at his eyes – temporarily blinded from the foam. Cena swings the extinguisher –
BOOM! He nails Hardy in the temple!

Jeff collapses to the floor, motionless! Cena now has an evil grimace on his face and he tosses the extinguisher to one side, picking up Hardy’s chair – and cracking Jeff across the back with it!

Cena demolishes Hardy with another chair shot - and another! The crowd boo again as Cena drops the chair and starts to head back to ringside…before stopping.

He picks up Hardy and sets him for the AA – before shaking his head and planting Hardy into the steel with a DEATH VALLEY DRIVER!!

Necrominus: We need help out here! Jeff Hardy’s neck could be broken!

Billy-Bob: Revenge has cost Hardy tonight – and it may be more than just his chance to be champion!!

Cena surveys the fallen Hardy with stoic look on his face. He moves off to the side, out of view of the camera.

Necrominus: Now where the hell is he going? Hasn’t Hardy had enough?

Billy-Bob: This could have been over ages ago, Necro – if not for Hardy’s idiocy!

Suddenly, the steel cage from the match earlier in the night starts to lower – hushing the crowd into a shocked silence.

Cena re-emerges, and finally heads back towards ringside at a sprint, sliding in under the damaged cage just as it lowers to surround the ring.

Billy-Bob: Brilliant! What a move by Cena – Hardy can’t get in – even if he tried now!

Wait a minute… Hardy is up!

Jeff clutches his neck in pain and staggers down to the ringside area as Cena sets up the ladder as quickly as possible. Jeff tries to rush for the cage door – Cena slams it shut and padlocks it closed!!! Hardy kicks the cage in frustration as Cena does his familiar taunt to Hardy




‘You Can’t See Me!’




The crowd are furious as Jeff can only look on as Cena climbs the ladder…



HARDY STARTS CLIMBING THE CAGE!

Billy-Bob: What’s he doing – get down from there!

Necrominus: Jeff is doing everything in his power to get back in the ring!

The crowd are on their feet as Cena gets to the top of the ladder – Hardy gets to the top of the cage! Cena desperately tries to detach the belt – Hardy flies off the top of the cage towards Cena – AND CONNECTS!!!




DROPKICK FROM THE TOP OF THE CAGE TO CENA ON THE LADDER!!




The crowd erupt as both men crash to the canvas, the belt still hanging from the hook!!


*Holy ****! Holy ****! Holy ****!*

*This is Awesome!! This is Awesome!!*




Both men are motionless on the canvas, the match having taken its toll on both combatants. Slowly, but surely – both men rise with the aid of the ropes and stare at each other – the crowd cheer both of them for their efforts! With a nod of respect between them – they begin trading rights!!



*BOO! YEAH! BOO! YEAH! BOO! YEAH!*




Hardy backs Cena up into the corner, the crowd cheering wildly as both men give everything – Cena counters with a vicious low blow – spoiling the moment altogether!

The crowd boo Cena with fury again as Hardy crumples to the mat in pain – Cena draws his arms out in quick fashion, shouting –



“It’s Over!”


Cena sets Hardy on his shoulders, looking for the Death Valley Driver for a second time – Hardy counters!! Elbows to Cena’s head!!! Cena drops Hardy – who kicks him the stomach….




TWIST OF FATE TO JOHN CENA!!



Cena crashes to the mat, and lies still as Jeff staggers up to his feet – and towards the ladder! Hardy climbs, step by step – until he reaches the very top with the title at his fingertips! But… he looks down at the motionless Cena on the mat – the crowd start to roar his name!

Necrominus: He’s not going to do this – is he?

Billy-Bob: This is insane! Just grab the title – it’s right there!

Hardy looks at the title, then looks down one more time – and shrugs his shoulders before leaping –








SWANTON BOMB FROM THE TOP OF THE LADDER ONTO JOHN CENA








THE RING BREAKS!!




Both men crash through the already damaged ring from earlier tonight, and fall out of sight of the crowd – who are gone completely crazy at Hardy’s feat.

Necrominus: We need help out here!! Both men may be dead!!

Billy-Bob: Why didn’t he just take the title? It was right there!

Through the dust and broken boards of the ring where both men collapsed through is some movement… Hardy crawls out of the hole in the ring!!

With a glassy look in his eyes he tries to desperately scramble up the ladder…

Inch by inch, foot by foot he crawls to the top –

And finally retrieves the belt! It’s over – Hardy has won!


Ring Announcer: Here is your winner – and the NEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWW NCW Heavyweight Champion – JEFFFFFFF HARRRRRDDDDYYY!!!






The crowd are going insane as Jeff lies on the mat, holding the title up to his face and kissing it as the cage is finally raised and EMTs can gain access to the ring.

They haul Cena out of the hole in the ring and place him on a backboard, wheeling him to the back as the ring crew tries desperately to repair the ring again.


Hardy staggers to his feet with the belt in one hand.

Necrominus: There you have it, folks – After an absolute war – your new champion – Jeff Hardy!


Billy-Bob: I still can’t believe it, Necro – Hardy just beat Cena!


Necrominus: And with that, we’re all out of time – thank you tuning into NCW Natural Selection – I’m Necrominus, and alongside Jiminy Billy-Bob, we hope to see you next year for the 2017 Boards Draft!

The crowd cheer loudly again as Hardy poses on the ropes, drawing Natural Selection to a close.

Necro

Necrominus: Can we get a camera man back to the ring, quickly?! Jiminy, stay right here!

Billy-Bob: Now what the hell is this?

Jeff Hardy was just moments ago soaking in the adulation of the fans, holding his NCW Title high in the air, for all to see. But as the cameras closed on this production of Natural Selection, Monty Brown has slid into the ring, attacking him! He starts throwing punches at Hardy, as the crowd starts to get a little frenzied. Some who were leaving for the exit are beginning to file back, as Hardy pushes away his attacker. But Monty Brown is relentless, never letting up his attack!

Necrominus: What the hell is Brown doing?!

Brown attempts a clothesline, which takes down Hardy. Hardy makes it to his knees, still weary from his war with Cena. Brown charges again, but is caught by Hardy with a knee, right into the ribs! This shakes Brown, allowing for Hardy to swing his foot around, and deliver a mule kick on Brown!

Brown makes it to his knees, scowling at Hardy. He backs away, as Hardy keeps his eyes locked on Brown. Brown makes it to his feet... And unleashes a deafening roar! He screams at the top of his lungs, which causes the whole arena to shake from the impact of the scream. Hardy looks on, still confused as to why Brown would attack him. He wipes the sweat from his face, and prepares for the next attack from Brown!

*Wham*

Jeff Hardy lies on the ground, completely prone, as Michael Tarver stands over him, chair in hand! The crowd boos violently, as Tarver brings the chair down again, this time on the back of Hardy!

Necrominus: Wha... Tarver.... Tarver?!

Billy-Bob: I..... I got nothing here... What is all of this?

Tarver picks up a near unconscious Hardy by the neck, and looks to Monty Brown. Brown screams, at the top of his lungs.

Brown: Off with his head!

Tarver sets up Hardy for a DDT... But Hardy punches Tarver in the stomach, releasing his grip on Hardy’s head! Hardy backs away, as Brown and Tarver come together, to circle Jeff Hardy. Hardy looks determined, refusing to let the numbers game get the better of him. His face gritted in determination, Brown and Tarver surround the world champion. After a moment's hesitation, Hardy leaps at Tarver, throwing punches at him! At first, Hardy appears as though he's able to fight off the numbers, keeping Brown and Tarver at bay! He knocks Tarver to his knees, and sets him for the Twist of Fate…

*Boom*

This time, it's Monty Brown with the chair, hitting Hardy in the back with a vicious thud. Tarver jumps him from behind, kicking him in the back of the head! Brown takes his chance, and rattles Hardy with a chair shot, right between the eyes! Hardy is brought to his knees, before falling to his face.

Necrominus: I.... I don't understand....

The referee tries to break this up, calling for the bell over and over. Tarver grabs an unconscious Hardy, drives his head into the mat with the DDT, with authority, as Brown laughs in the background, hanging on the ropes and giving a gleeful smile. Tarver looks down, and isn't satisfied, just yet. He whips Hardy against the ropes and Brown crashes into him with The Pounce!

Necrominus: God damn it, someone stop them!

Billy-Bob: I've never seen anything like this, in my life!

Hardy lays lifeless. The crowd boos, as Tarver signals for one more DDT! Tarver lifts up Hardy’s limp body... Hardy tries to wiggle out! Hardy is wearing a crimson mask, but still tries to fight off this duo. Defiantly, Hardy slaps Tarver in the face, a sign of rebellion! but Tarver knees him in the stomach, and drives his head into the mat one more time, with the DDT onto the chair! The crowd boos, as Tarver sits up.

Both men look at the aisle – and the music of MUHAMMAD HASSAN begins to play!

Necrominus: Oh God... Oh No...

Hussan and Daivari walk down to the ring, glee written all over their face. Daivari cackles, as he looks on at the sight before them. Hussan walks down behind Daivari, as the crowd is stunned into silence.

Necrominus: Billy-Bob, come on! This is too much! They can't...

Billy-Bob: Yes they can, Necro. Who's going to stop them?...

Hussan and Daivari enter the ring, grabbing the referee as they come down the aisle. Hussan looks down at the bloodied Hardy, with a look of pride in his eyes. Hussan orders that the bell be rung.

Necrominus: What is this?? What are they doing!!

The crowd boo again as David Otunga comes to the top of the ramp, a large bandage on his head from earlier in the night.

Otunga: Ladies and Gentlemen – by order of the NEW NCW General Manager, Pete Rose – the following contest is scheduled for one fall – and is for the NCW Heavyweight Championship! Ring the damn bell!

The referee, helpless and bound by his obligations, gives instructions, ordering the start of this match. Daivari, Hussan, Monty Brown, and Michael Tarver all congratulate one another, Hussan offering a hand shake to Brown. The crowd can't control their anger, throwing garbage into the room! Brown kneels before Hussan, who places his hand on Brown’s forehead.

Billy-Bob: My God... Necro, I can't believe this...

Necrominus: God damn it, Hussan’s going to steal the belt! He's going to rip the belt away from Jeff Hardy!

Hussan paces the ring, waiting for the bell to be rung. Daivari, Tarver and Brown leave the ring, as the referee tries to resucitate Jeff Hardy, who is crawling to his feet. He still seems out of it, absolutely incapable of fighting!

But the referee, with a grimace on his face, calls for the bell, and Hardy tries to make it to all fours. He makes it to one knee, and is met with a big boot, as soon as he gets to a knee! Hussan makes a cover as Necrominus screams.

Necrominus: Not this way, not this way!

HARDY KICKS OUT! He kicked out at two!

Necrominus: Hardy’s still alive! Hardy is still in this! Come on, Jeff!

Jeff rolls over, as Hussan pounds the mat in anger! The crowd comes alive, and the arena starts to rock, as Hardy makes it to a knee again! His eyes show determination, through the blood on his face. Hussan backs up, to hit another big boot!

But Hardy rolls out of the way, and clotheslines Hussan to the mat! The crowd comes unglued, as Hardy uses every last ounce of energy to fight off his challenger.

Hardy hits another clothesline, and Hussan goes down again! Hardy boots Hussan in the stomach and signals for the Twist of Fate officially working on no more than adrenaline!

He swings Hussan around - Hussan shoves Hardy off and, into the referee! As the referee makes his way to his feet, Hardy jumps clear across the ring, near the ropes, where Daivari is waiting on the apron!

Daivari rakes Hardy’s eyes! Hardy holds his face, as Hussan comes up from behind him and slams into him! Hussan then sets Hardy – and locks in the Camel Clutch!!

Necrominus: No, goddammit! Hey ref, you have to stop this!

Hardy has no more energy left, and Hussan sinks the Clutch in and drags him dead centre of the ring. Hardy goes limp, and the referee starts to raise Hardy’s arm…

HARDY IS UNRESPONSIVE!

Necrominus: Dammit, Hussan has stolen the title!

Billy-Bob: And we have a new NCW Champion!

Hussan holds his arms high, as the others enter the ring. Hardy lays unconscious in the ring, as the announcer regrettably announces the decision.

Ring Announcer: The winner of this match.... And New NCW Heavyweight Champion... Muhammad Hassan!

Necrominus: It shouldn't have been this way! Jeff Hardy just had the belt stolen from him!

Billy-Bob: Take it up with management, Necro… I can’t believe it myself!

Daivari grabs the belt from the referee, and gives it to Hussan! He cackles in delight, hugging his new allies, Monty Brown and Michael Tarver! The two members kneel before Hussan… Hussan places the title on his shoulders, pride beaming from his eyes. The referee checks on Jeff Hardy, who has yet to move. Hussan storms towards the ring announcer, and yanks the microphone from his hands.

Hussan: Get a good look at your hero!

Hussan points down to Hardy.

Hussan: This will be the last you see of him... And I have ascended my throne, as your one true NCW Champion!

Daivari, Brown, and Tarver nod their heads, as Hussan screams into the microphone....

Hussan: Long. Live. The. King!

Hussan holds his arms up as Daivari, Brown and Tarver flank his left and right side. Necrominus begins to speak, as the copyright information comes up.

Necrominus: My God... What... What does this all mean....

The song “The Pretender” by The Foo Fighters plays as the intro video rolls. We see clips of all 7 feuds involved in this evenings PPV as the song kicks into gear.

(we choose that song to suit or main event of the PPV which will pit Cesaro, the alleged pretender to Ric Flair's legacy. And the high tempo of the song, along with the guitar riffs and drums, are perfect for a wrestling package video).

We open on the massive Mercedes Benz football stadium in Atlanta Georgia for Beyond Chaos Wrestling's Ultimate Chaos Pay Per View. Huge pyros go off in the stadium and the crowd seem hyped for the event. We cut to the commentators who welcome us to the show.

Commentator 1 : Welcome everyone to Ultimate Chaos. We will have 7 exclusive match ups for your wrestling pleasure and the crowd here in Atlanta are really excited.

Commentator 2 : These slobs are all excited because they get to see me in the flesh. Either that or its welfare day here in Georgia, I dunno.

Commentator 1 : We would like to thank Foo Fighters for the use of their track “ The Pretender” as the official theme song for tonight's PPV. Now it's time to start the action, It's our first match…..

The Build Up : Bayley has easily been the most fan friendly competitor in Beyond Chaos since she joined 3 months ago. In that time she has bonded with fans young and old and in return she has adored them just as much. But former fan favourite, Emma has tried in recent weeks to sway Bayley to the dark side....

Emma, a girl who once “pandered” to the crowd with no in-ring success, has now accomplished so much more in her career since she shunned the fans and adopted much darker, fan hating persona. In recent weeks, Emma has tried to give young Bayley some of her wisdom, with BCWs resident hugger unwilling to take any of it on board.

But Emma, who was insulted as Bayley spurred her wisdom, took matters into her own hands 2 weeks ago by attacking Bayley from behind after she declined her offer to take her under her wing. Since then Emma has been hell bent on proving to Bayley that the fans are fickle and will eventually hinder her rather than help her career; and she has been stooping to some pretty low places to achieve this.

Emma would mock Bayleys fan friendly entrance, before revealing to the world that she had bought off Izzy, arguably Bayleys number 1 supporter, with a few autographs and selfies. It was clear to see that this hurt Bayley but the hammer blow was still to come as Emma and Izzy would proceed to destroy Bayleys two wacky balloon guy entrance props, much to the dismay of Bayley and every young fan in the arena.

Tonight Bayley has the chance to extract some revenge against the tyrannical Aussie, but can Bayley over come the new vicious Emma or will Beyond Chaos’s favourite female be proved wrong once and for all?

The Match:

After the initial opening pyro’s end, Emma’s dark techno remix blares throughout the 79,000 seat Mercedes Benz Stadium and the fans begin to boo as Emma makes her way out. She poses at the ramp before coolly making her way down the ramp. We see a recap of Emma and Izzy destroying Bayleys wacky arm waving balloon guys last week.

Commentator 1 : Emma certainly has stooped to some very low places in recent weeks, but that takes the biscuit.

Commentator 2 : By the looks of this overweight crowd, I’d say they took more than the biscuit.

Bayleys music hits and the fans pop as their favourite hugger appears on the ramp. Bayley is very pantomime-esque here as she looks disappointed at her absent balloon guy props. Her music stops and she turns her back and returns backstage.

Commentator 2: I knew she was a coward, she’s had a smart change of heart, Emma would murder her.

Commentator 1 : I’m not sure where she’s going, but I know she is no coward.

After a few moments her music plays again and once again she skips out but this time over 50 young fans are right behind her all decked out like herself. They all mimic her entrance and as her music kicks in, Bayley leads them all in a big group hug at the top of the ramp. Suddenly from the middle of the group hug, a new, larger wacky inflatable balloon guy emerges much to the fans delight.

Commentator 1 : So that’s what Bayley was up to, Emma must be sick

Commentator 2 : Look at her with all those kids, she’s like a female pied piper.... I’m sure there are laws against this type of thing.

Bayleys new giant inflatable balloon guy reaches the height of the stadium as she skips to ringside. She’s really playing up her friendliness and Emma is visibly irritated.

Beginning : (1-5mins )The matches opening story is a simple one as both women battle for advantage with wrist locks and other holds, with Emma getting the better of Bayley 3 times out of 3. On the 3rd occasion Emma mocks her opponent but the fans begin to get behind Bayley even more with a “Hey, hey Bayley...ooooh ahhh, I wanna knowwwwww will you kick her ass....( hey Bayley will you kick her ass!” - to the tune of Hey, hey baby!)” Chant and this fires Bayley up to win the next exchange, dumping Emma on her back. Bayley then brings the fight by backing Emma into the turnbuckle and delivering a few hard strikes to the body. Bayley then whips Emma into the opposite corner and delivers a leaping stinger splash to the Aussie who retreats to the outside much to the joy of the thousands in attendance. Emma tries to recover but she is caught by surprise as Bayley suicide dives through the ropes, knocking Emma flat on the ground. The fans erupt with a “this is awesome” chant as Bayley throws Emma back into the ring

Commentator 1 : Bayley seems to be drawing her drive from the fans here in Atlanta.

Commentator 2 : The only thing I’m getting from them is a stale body odour. They stink.

Middle of the match (5-10 mins): Emma soon regains the advantage when they return to the ring with a rake to the eyes. Emma then delivers a massive spinebuster and gives abuse to the fans who jeer her heelish actions. Emma is now in full control and starts to work on Bayleys back with some vicious stomps followed by a series of suplexs and a devastating backbreaker.

Commentator 2 : Emma is full of class, something these fans know nothing about. Bayley should go home and play operation with her kids fans after Emma is done with her.

The fans chant for Bayley as Emma begins to do more damage to her back with a surfboard submission which makes Bayley's face wince in agony. Emma eventually release the hold and she is obviously warming her up for her Emma-Lock submission. Emma works over the back of Bayley some more with some hard elbows and a vicious penalty kick to the spine. Emma works the crowd as Bayley holds her back in agony, taunting them with the crying action as they boo her in reply.

Commentator 1 : Emma looks like she’s intent on really punishing young Bayley.

Commentator 2 : The way Bayley goes on I’d say she's used to punishment, like being sent to her room and losing her pocket money.

Emma then lifts the probe Bayley up and positions her on the top turnbuckle. Emma goes up and tries to lift Bayley up for a superplex, but Bayley blocks it and battles back with right hands and eventually she knocks Emma to the mat below. Bayley is still badly hurt but she slowly begins to stand on the top rope and awaits Emma to get to her feet. As the evil Aussie stands up, Bayley blasts her with a flying cross-body and pins her as a result for a 2 count.

The Finish (10-15mins): Bayley gets up and drags Emma to her feet, as she feeds off the fans energy for a moment or two as she signals for her “Bayley2Belly suplex finisher. But it seems to be a wrong move as it gives time to Emma to recover, as Emma swings around Bayley and delivers sick looking german suplex and she elegantly rolls through the suplex to apply her back bending Emma Lock!

Commentator 1 : You can see the pain in Bayleys eyes, I can’t begin to tell you how much damage this is doing to young Bayley’s lower back. . Whether you like Emma or not, you have to take your hat off to her for that counter.

Commentator 2 : About time you saw a little sense. Bayleys gotta tap here.

Bayley screams in agony and she has her arm raised as if she’s about to tap, but Bayley refuses to give up and begins to fight out of the submission. Bayley begins to elbow Emma repeatedly and soon enough she breaks free from the hold, but the damage looks to have been done. Emma gets to her feet first and she’s still smarting from those elbow shots and begins to slap the downed Bayley and trash talking her as she does.

Commentator 1 : The end is nigh surely, Emma is just toying with Bayley now.

Commentator 2 : Emma is a woman, not a girl like Bayley.

Bayley drags Bayley up by the hair and continues the smack talk but Bayley begins to throw a few desperate rights and lefts which stun Emma a little. Emma gets anger and goes for Bayley and she gets caught with another right hand which does more damage than the previous ones. Emma then charges at Bayley but Bayley catches her in mid-air and delivers a Bayley2Belly suplex out of nowhere, but really doesn’t catch it all... she covers her anyway


1...

2....

....Kick out by Emma

Commentator 1 : Ooh so close by Bayley, she didn’t get all of that belly to belly to be fair.

Both women are down and Bayley gets to her feet first and Emma slowly follows. Bayley charges at Emma, but Emma thinks fast and hits a nice spin kick to the jaw of her opponent. Emma is at her wicks ends and she claims that she’s finishing this. Emma makes her way to unfamiliar territory and climbs the ropes. Bayley however struggles to her feet just as Emma reaches the summit much to Emma's surprise. Bayley then shocks everyone by running up the ropes to meet Emma and delivers heart stopping BAYLEY2BELLY SUPLEX FROM THE TOP ROPE!!!!

Commentator 1 : Wow there's a big match moment from Bayley out of nowhere!

Bayley crawls over Emma for the pin

....3!!!

Winner :

Bayley

!

Commentator 1 : What a way to kick off the PPV, what an effort by both women. But Bayley gets her retribution in style.

Bayley gets up and stands on the top turnbuckle to celebrate with the fans. Emma slides out of the ring licking her wounds as Bayley takes in her victory. The fans rejoice as Bayleys music playsin the background while Bayley salutes the fans.

Aftermath following the PPV: Bayley had to win, she has been on the receiving end of everything since we kicked off this season and was in badly need to go over here after all that Emma had done. Emma won’t be hurt by the loss here, and Bayley will get over more. I would continue to book Bayley as the little engine that could in Beyond Chaos, overcoming the odds each time when others have seem to write her off. She could slowly rise in the ranks and become the Rey Mysterio of our company, since she is always the underdog who manages to pull a win out of nothing, while being a great fan favourite with fans young and old. A Title match would be in the future for her but I wouldn’t book her into the title picture too fast either.

Why I Booked it : When I drafted these two I had no idea how to use them, I just thought they were good value as a pair. Bayley is a great talent and after seeing her rise in NXT from an afterthought to a respected champion, I knew I could find something for her. Emma is a great competitor also, and her new darker character has been a welcome addition to a great NXT roster. I wanted to play off the fact that Emma was once like Bayley but it didn’t work out. I wanted there to be an air of jealousy about Emma, who secretly wanted to be loved and successful like Bayley.

This match would be a great way to kick off the PPV and I believe the entrance by Bayley would generate extra fan participation to start the show.

Both women are great in-ring competitors and both are vastly under rated, so a match between both could work in-ring and by pulling the heartstrings with Bayley being a victim consistently throughout, especially losing Izzy as a fan, I had hoped it would make her a great sympathetic character and in return Emma an evil villain who needed taking down a peg or two. .

The Build Up : Since Rick Martel signed for Beyond Chaos last year, he has as arrogant and as ignorant as ever. Over the autumn months he feuded with Tito Santana and the feud came to a head when he beat Santana in a “loser becomes a personal assistant” match. Since then, Santana has been the reluctant servant to the dastardly Model and with the threat of being fired hanging over his head if he refuses to do Martel's bidding, Santana has been reduced to nothing more than Martel's lackey.

But apparently, there's a new sheriff….I mean Model in town and his name is Tyler Breeze. Breeze and Martel first ran into each other when Breeze came to the aid of Hollywood actor Ben Stiller, after Martel took offense to Stiller's portrayal of male models like himself in his Zoolander Movies and tried to beat down Stiller in response. Breeze made the save and since then, Martel's been gunning for him.

The next week, Martel attacked Breeze and then challenges him and a partner of his choosing to me Martel and his lackey Santana at Ultimate Chaos. Martel then added insult to injury by placing a paper mask of himself over the face of the lifeless Breeze, saying he had covered up his ugliness with his own beauty.

Breeze accepted the challenge and he had only one partner in mind….Derek Zoolander. Yes you read that correctly. Breeze has been under the illusion that the Derek Zoolander character is real and that Ben Stiller is just an undercover alias, hence why he came to his aid.

Since then, Breeze has been in search of Derek Zoolander to no avail, checking various venues from his Zoolander movies with no joy. Tyler looks set to face Martel and Santana without a partner and he faces an uphill battle taking on two excellent wrestlers on his own. Can Tyler Breeze take down The Model and his lackey alone?

The Match:


The arena is flooded with boo’s as Rick Martel's cheesy music plays and out comes a daPper Model with Tito Santana by his side. Tito is wearing an outfit straight out of Virgil's wardrobe (it's a sparkly, sleeveless pink and silver butler tux) as he hands out paper masks of Rick Martel to the fans on the Aisle. Martel poses in the ring but his posing his cut short, as his music halts and is replaced by the sound of camera shutters and flashbulbs. We look to the entranceway and a red carpet is rolled out as paparazzi stand either side taking snaps. Suddenly we hear the words “Oh my god….It's Tyler!” Over the speaker system and Tyler Breeze music hits.

Commentator 2 : look at this guy, no class, no style...he's a disgrace to male models everywhere. I should know I used to be one.

Commentator 1 : What, a hand model?

Tyler comes out in his usual flashy and outrageous attire and he is alone as expected. He gets about halfway down the aisle and Martel, who now has a mic in hand interrupts.

Rick Martel : So no idiot was dumb enough to be your partner, aye Tyler? I knew no one would want a piece of me. Your luck has faded ...just like your looks!

Tyler looks ready for battle and before he can make his way any further, we hear a record scratch over the PA system and Tyler looks behind him to see a DJ booth has been rolled out at the top of the ramp.

Commentator 1 : What the hell is this? Is that a DJ?

Commentator 2 : What is all this nonsense?

Suddenly the camera zooms in on the DJ at the turn tables and we can see he’s putting on a record. Suddenly the baseline of “Relax” by Frankie goes to Hollywood begins to beat throughout the stadium and a name is spelt out on the titantron..

“ZOOLANDER!”

The crowd pop like crazy as the song kicks in and Tyler can’t believe his eyes. Suddenly the DJ mixes it up and Whams classic hit, Wake me up before you gogo” is now playing and when the song kicks in we hear a horn beep loudly….

Commentator 1 : it can’t be...It is...It’s Ben Stiller.

Commentator 2 : Oh not this Hollywood phoney!

We then see Ben Stiller has driven into the arena in a replica Jeep from the Zoolander movie. Stiller is dressed in identically to Breeze and it looks like Zoolander has arrived. Ben Drives down the ramp and stops at Breeze and tells him to hop in. Breeze jumps in and the ride to ringside to the tune of the Wham hit. The exit the jeep and Ben seems to be still himself even though he’s dressed like Zoolander as he and Breeze enter the ring.

Commentator 1 : I guess Zoolander is tagging with Breeze, he answered his call.

Martel looks disgusted as Breeze and Stiller pose before the match starts.

Beginning : (1-5 mins) The bells rings to signal the start of the bout and we can see Breeze and Stiller discussing strategy.

Breeze : I’ll hit Martel with a Beauty Shot, then you use blue steel to keep Santana busy while I got a Supermodel Kick for the win, that sound good? Keep Magnum for emergencies only right? That ok with you Zoolander?

Stiller is not fully in character but he humours his tag partner. Breeze and Martel look like starting and The Model talks some trash in Breezes direction before cowardly tagging out before locking up. Martel orders Santana to face Breeze and he does what he's told. Santana and Breeze lock up with Santana getting the upperhand early on as he works over Tyler's arm. Tyler is whipped into the ropes but ducks a clothesline and nails Santana on the return with a nice flying elbow. Breeze looks in full control until Martel distracts him long enough for Santana to club him from behind.

Commentator 2 : Classic Martel, he’s always 1 step ahead of his opponent, while Breeze is usually 5 behind.

Martel tags himself in and arrogantly taunts the crowd before working attacking Tyler with a vicious elbow to the skull. Martel then tags Santana back and he begins to bark orders at Tito as he begins to attack Breeze.

Commentator 1 : Martel has no people skills whatsoever

Commentator 2 : People just have no taste or class, like Martel.


Middle (5-15 mins): Santana nails Breeze with a nice powerslam, followed by a suplex for a 2 count. Martel is tagged in and goes for a back suplex attempt, but it's reversed by Breeze into a suplex of his own. Breeze then delivers a Hardcore Holly-esque standing dropkick to the face of Martel and the fans loudly approve. The fans then get even louder as Breeze twists Martel's arm, who squirms in pain. The fans cheer as Breezelooks for the tag off Stiller.

Commentator 1 : And here comes Stiller to wipe the smirk off Martel's face.

Commentator 2 : This idiot shouldn’t be allowed in a ring with Martel.

The crowd build up their anticipation and cheer loudly as Stiller delivers double axehandle smash to the prone Martel. Stiller follows it up with a few lefts and a few rights and the crowd pop with each blow. Martel then swipes at Stiller in desperation but its ducked by Stiller, who instead hits a hard clothesline knocking Martel to the mat. Stiller then climbs the top rope and this proves to be a step too far as Martel is up quick to launch still from the top rope onto his back.

Commentator 2 : And normal order is restored. You show him Rick.

Commentator 1 : The Model is an experience wrestler, while Stiller is a relative rookie...and it's showing.

Martel then viciously lays the boots into Stiller and as usual taunts him aplenty while doing so. Martel drags Stiller to his feet and tosses him into the corner, much to the anguish of the hollywood star. Martel then rips off Stiller's furry vest and begins to strike him hard with chop after chop. Stiller is in a world of hurt as The Model then drags him out and delivers a nasty scoop slam, before stomping on him some more, much to the annoyance of the Atlanta crowd. Martel then tags in Santana and orders him to go to work on Stiller, who is clutching his back with pain. Santana goes for the cover but Martel yells at him for doing so and orders him to beat Stiller up some more. Santana pleads with him that Stiller has had enough but Martel gets in Santana's face and demands that he does his job as his lackey. Santana tries to reason with Martel but The Models patients have run out and he slaps Santana across the face and threatens Tito and his family with the unemployment line.

Commentator 1 : Martel is disgusting, he is truly vile on the inside.

Commentator 2 : Could be worse, you’re vile on the inside and the outside.

Santana looks like he has had enough and it's quite clear the anger is building inside of him. Stiller is stirring so Martel tags himself in with Santana still fuming. Martel stomps away on the back of Stiller and talks some more trash on him before locking Stiller in his dreaded Boston Crab finisher. Stiller is in pain and Tyler is doing his best to encourage him.

Tyler Breeze : Screw what I said Zoolander, use Magnum whenever you get a chance….

The Finish: Stiller looks ready to tap but Martel releases him and screams “I’m not letting you tap maggot, I wanna make you feel more pain first for disrespecting me.” Martel then drags Stiller up and seems to purposefully throw Stiller into the referee.

Commentator 1 : What did Martel do that for? That should be a disqualification.

Commentator 2 : That clutz Stiller just tripped into the ref, I’ would be surprised if the coward was trying to get Martel dq’ed.

Martel follows this up by charging at Tyler Breeze and he knocks Breeze off the apron to the floor with a hard elbow. With the ref and Breeze down Martel orders Tito to get a steel chair. Tito once again being the good hearted person, tries to plead with Martel that Stiller has had enough but Martel gets annoyed and reminds Santana who is his boss…

Martel : Remember El Slavo, remember who is in charge, you argue with me and I’ll have you and your dirty family back on the breadline!

Martel then slaps Santana again and Santana's face fills with rage. The fans urge Santana to cross his boss and Martel demands Santana bring him a steel chair. Santana then heads outside and grabs the chair and slides back into the ring.

Martel : Gimme the chair El Slavo, do your duty or I’ll fire your ass.

Santana hesitates for a moment and the fans are urging him to stand up to Martel. Santana then, after a few moments gives the chair to Martel.

Commentator 2 : finally, Santana is learning which side his bread is buttered on.

Martel then turns around and he awaits Stiller to get to his feet with the chair in hand. Martel is all ready to nail Stiller, but suddenly Santana rips off his demanding attire behind the back of Martel and the crowd pop big. Santana then spins the unaware Martel around and kicks him in the gut. Martel drops the chair and Santana grabs Martel by the head and DDTs him head first onto the chair to a huge fan reaction.

Commentator 1 : At a boy Santana, Martel had that coming.

Commentator 2 : Santana is fired now, good bye income. What an ungrateful idiot.

Santana throws the chair outside and exits the ring, making his way up the ramp to “Thank you Tito” chants. Breeze pops back up on the apron and Stiller recovers enough to make the tag. Breeze steps in and sees Martel down on the mat and he sets himself up in the corner. Breeze then channels his inner Shawn Michaels by stamping the mat with his foot, signalling he is gearing up for his patented Supermodel Kick. Martel gingerly reaches his feet and Breeze has the crowd worked up into a frenzy, as he delivers a sweet Supermodel kick to the jaw of Martel.

Breeze then looks to Stiller and asks the crowd do they want to see Zoolander finish Martel off. Breeze makes the tag and Stiller climbs the ropes, jumping off with a fearless top-rope splash to the unconscious Martel, he covers him ..

Winners :

Tyler Breeze and Ben Stiller.

Martel is out cold as Stiller and Breeze celebrate. Breeze then begs Stiller to do his Magnum look and after some encouragement, they both pose in full on Zoolander style with Magnum poses as the fans approve.

Aftermath following the PPV: Santana would be fired the next night by furious Martel but he would return under a mask, and under the name of Mr Mexico. It would be a similar gig to Hogan and Mr America and it would keep the feud going until a match would be made. Breeze would go on to steadily rise up the ranks and may challenge for the IC title in the future.

Why I Booked it : I really didn't know how to book this. I toyed with Breeze v Stiller, and Martel and Breeze vs Stiller and Santana, and I even thought of a heel Stiller with Martel v Santana and Breeze, but this was the easiest way to book Stiller in my opinion. I wanted to make this fun feud on an otherwise serious card. I wanted to play off Zoolander a lot and Breeze being a similarly booked wrestler was the best route to achieve that. Martel was perfect foil for the Zoolander / breeze characters and adding Tito to the the mix aided in portraying Martel as a man who needed to be taken down a peg or 5. I’m not mad on celebrity matches but I tried giving Stiller very little offense and Martel's arrogance was his own downfall in the end. I really enjoyed writing this one.

[/QUO

The Build Up : All 3 Von Erich Brothers made an instant impact in Beyond Chaos when the signed after the end of last years Chaos Rising PPV one year ago. Kerry soon became a fan favourite and became Intercontinental Champion within his first month and his brothers, Kevin and David soon followed suit by claiming Tag Team gold for themselves. Kerry continued to rise up the ranks, while his brothers, while dominant, felt they were missing an edge. Enter Zeb Colter

The usually villainous Colter had been hired by the Kevin and David to manage their careers

Ever since The Horsemen Reborn arrived on the scene 1 month ago, The Von Erichs have been one of their main targets. And with good reason too with Kevin and David Von Erichs being tag team title holders and Kerry being an IC champ, as well as being part of the Heavyweight Championship Chamber match.

David and Kevin were the first to be laid out and soon Kerry fell victim to and as a result was unable to compete in the Chamber match. The following week, Kerry looked for revenge but he ended up losing his title in a match against Horsemen enforcer Chris Hero, after Zeb accidently assisted Chris by tossing in a steel chair. The chair was intended for Kerry but Hero intercepted it and thus a new champion was crowned.

In the aftermath Zeb Colter issued a challenge to the 3 members of the Horsemen Reborn, a six man tag match involving Hero, Gargano and Ciampa on one side taking on the 3 Von Erich Brothers on the other with the incentive that Kevin and David s Tag Team belts were on the line against Chris Hero’s IC championship also being up for grabs in a “Winner Takes All” match!

But bad news would strike The Von Erich Brothers as Kerry's shoulder injury would flare up after his match with Hero and he was a major doubt for the event. Zeb Colter had offered him pain pills, unknowing that Kerry had previously battled pain medication addiction, which angered Kerry. Kerry though would declare himself fit for the match but shortly afterwards his injury got worse after another tangle with The Horsemen Reborn and we would learn soon afterwards that Kerry was unfortunately ruled out.

Kevin and David, along with Zeb, will now have to battle The Horsemen reborn in a 3 on 2 match. Can The two tough Texan boys overcome the odds or will The Horsemen walk out with all the gold?

The Match: The Horsemen Reborn theme hits and out stroll Chris Hero, Johnny Gargano and Tomasso Ciampa to very negative reaction. Next out comes David and Kevin Von Erich who are out alone as Zeb Colter is conspicuous by his absence. Both brothers get on the apron and get set for action when a live feed from the parking lot is being displayed on the big screen. Suddenly, a General Lee replica car (from Dukes of Hazard) enters the view and drives past the camera.

Commentator 1 : That car looks like it's headed this way.

Commentator 2 : Probably one of these hick Atlanta drivers, they shouldn’t be given licences.

Suddenly we see the General Lee at the entrance way and it drives down the ramp, coming to a halt at the ring. We focus in and see Zeb Colter behind the wheel and next to him is Kerry Von Erich

Commentator 1 : Kerry and Zeb are here, by god they are here.

Commentator 2 : What's this invaleed doing here, he can't wrestle in his condition.

Kerry steps out and he appears to be in good shape as he flexes and swings his shoulder. He steps up to join his brothers as Zeb applauds at ringside.

Beginning (1-5 mins) : Kerry looks fired up and the boost has certainly filtered down to his brothers, as Kevin starts off with Gargano and gets the best of him with a few mean looking clotheslines and a sweet dropkick, that has The horsemen rattled and the crowd pumped. David is tagged in and the duo perform a picture perfect double hip toss, with Gargano scrambling back to his corner to tag in Chris Hero.

Hero turns the tide by getting the better of David and he and his partners wisely isolate David and perform some clever tag team moves such as a clothesline/legsweep double team and a double back suplex.

Commentator 1 : the fans are right behind The Von Erichs, but David is in no man's land.

Commentator 2 : You never give The Horsemen credit, they are performing classic tag team tactics and you harp on about David. Boo hoo.

Middle (5-15 mins): David is doing his damnedest to escape back to his corner but The Horsemen are very effective in working him over. Kerry is just dying to get in the ring to face them and he looks on as Gargano and Ciampa distract the ref in order to allow Hero to choke out David. David is looking worse for wear but he manages to hit a back-cracker after reversing an exchange with Ciampa to make the hot tag to Kerry but the ref doesn't allow it as he was distracted by Gargano.

Commentator 2 : these guys are like ring veterans but they are their youthful prime. It's a joy to behold.

Commentator 1 : I will admit, they are one cohesive unit. Can David make the tag?

The Finish (15-22): David eventually gets a chance to recover, as he ducks a clothesline attempt by Hero and hits one of his own in desperation. David crawls to the corner and the crowd urge him on, but he is stopped by Gargano who is tagged in by Hero. Gargano and Ciampa again work over David but he breaks free and double clotheslines both men. He once again slowly makes his way over to his corner and this time he is successful in making the hot tag to Kerry and the fans pop hard as Kerry enters the ring in a ball of fury.

Commentator 1 : Here we go, Kerry is back baby.

Kerry strikes down Gargano with a lariat and then hits a picturesque high knee smash to Ciampa. Chris Hero then rushes in and receives a high back body drop for his troubles. Kerry is cleaning house. Kerry then tosses out Gargano and he clotheslines Ciampa as well. Both hit the mat floor hard and are attacked by David and Kevin as they reach their feet. Kerry now has Hero all alone to himself. Hero swings aimlessly at Kerry and Kerry telegraphs it with a nice juke and jive punch combo, knocking Hero on his back. Kerry signals for his finisher and the crowd are fired up as Hero gets to his feet only to be knocked senseless by Kerry's Tornado Punch finisher.

Commentator 1 : Lights out for Hero! Kerry is back with a bang!

Hero looks out of it but he falls into the ropes and out of the ring. Kerry surprisingly looks out of sorts in the ring for no apparent reason. He begins to hold his head as in he is in pain and then suddenly stumbles before he collapses in the middle of the ring!

Commentator 1 : What just happened, what's wrong with Kerry? He went down all by himself. This doesnt look good.

David looks concerned and he rushes to his aid, leaving Kevin prone to a double spinebuster by Gargano and Ciampa. The duo then rush in and deliver a double neckbreaker to an unsuspecting David as Zeb drags Kerry to the outside to check on him. Zeb looks worried as Kerry isn't responding while inside the ring, Johnny Gargano is covering David

Winners :

The Horsemen Reborn (New Tag Team Champs - Gargano and Ciampa)

The Horsemen slide out of the ring and get the hell out of dodge with all 3 championship belts as David and Kevin gingerly go to aid their brother. Zeb looks very concerned as he is urging paramedics from the back to ringside. The medics come and immediately examine Kerry before placing him on a stretcher and leaving promptly. Zeb, David And Kevin follow as they bring Kerry backstage. The life is taken out of the live crowd as the commentators discuss what we saw in a somber tone.

Commentator 1 : I’m not sure what has happened with Kerry folks, but I can honestly saw we hope everything is ok. Things don’t look good for Von Erich, he just went down without warning.

Commentator 2 : Hopefully he will recover and we will get good news from the medics backstage.

We then switch backstage and the cameras are following Kerry as he is being helped quickly into an Ambulance. The Ambulance speeds away as Kevin and David question Zeb.

Kevin Von Erich : Did you see what happened Zeb, I didn’t catch it at all.

Zeb Colter : One minute he has standing full of fire then the next he was down like a ton of bricks.

David Von Erich : Did he get a blow to the head or something? He seemed fine.

Zeb Colter : Guys, there's something I gotta tell you…. The reason Kerry was back tonight was because of me. It is all my fault. Kerry demanded I give him pain killers to aid his shoulder injury and I gave him them. It's all my fault!

David Von Erich : WHAT! You gave Kerry painkillers! What the hell were you thinking?

David grabs Zeb by the throat, Zeb squirms and tries his best to explain.

Zeb Colter : He begged me, he wanted to back you guys up so much tonight and I gave in. i’m so sorry.

Kevin Von Erich : Damn it Zeb, he might have overdosed… he might die Zeb.

Zeb Colter : He seemed fine, I didn’t know how this would affect him, guys I swear.

David and Kevin are incensed and they begin to smash near by bins and dumpsters in anger.

Zeb Colter : You guys need to focus, Guys!..... You need to get to the hospital and be with your brother.


David and Kevin agree and leave quickly, leaving Zeb looking sad and disappointed with himself.

Commentator 1 : My god, Kerry might have overdosed on painkillers, what has transpired here.

Commentator 2 : Kids, Drugs don’t work for anyone. Zeb and The Von Erichs should be ashamed. Kerry should know better, Zeb supplied him like a dealer and those 2 fools enabled it all to happen!


Commentator 1 : We will bring you the latest as this story develops folks.

Aftermath following the PPV: See the end of the Cesaro / Flair match for more on The Horsemen and Von Erichs. Don’t want to spoil anything yet.

Why I Booked it : It's a fantastic fantasy match between 3 modern day stars and 3 of yesterday years territorial greats. I wanted to bring Kerry's dark past in the fold (his legitimate painkiller and drug problems) and this would be the start of a redemption story for Kerry. I wanted the finish to pay homage to Shawn Michaels collapse in 95 following a head injury as I felt it was a powerful way to push the beginning of the angle. Giving all 3 members of the faction titles really gives The Horsemen Reborn a strong push, showing dominance and unity. After 2 good face wins earlier in the show, this would do a lot to push the heels hard without hurting the faces too much as I would imagine sympathy would be the main emotion shown towards the faces after an angle like this.

The Build Up : Becky Lynch has always been considered one of the best female competitors today, but after a few months in Beyond Chaos, many believed she was lacking the cutting edge to be the number one girl in the company. Enter Sara Del Rey.

Del Rey, arguably the best female competitor never to wrestle for a major company, began training Becky and she had high hopes for the Irish Lass Kicker. Becky had been tipped to finally become Beyond Chaos Womens Champion under the tutelage of Del Rey, but things didn't go to plan as Sasha Banks retained on the debut show of this season.

Becky seemed to be still coming up short, with Del Rey adamant that she hadn't shown the killer instinct yet. Then after 2 matches were Becky refused to take her mentors advice to break her opponent's arm,, vs Emma and Bayley, Del Rey turned on Becky and attacked her viciously in the middle of the ring.

Del Rey claimed she was showing tough love to Becky and that she would continue at tonights Ultimate Chaos PPV when she and Becky face off in a submission match. Becky is a woman hellbent on revenge but Del Rey is a cagey veteran who will put Becky to the sword if given the chance.

Will Becky teach her former teacher a lesson or will her former mentor make do on her promise to break Becky's arm?

The Match: Del Rey is out first to a lukewarm reception but the crowd perks up once Becky's music hits and the Irish fighter appears and makes her way to the ring. Both women go nose to nose, with Becky staying silent as Del Rey talks trash about teaching her the ultimate lesson.

Beginning (1-5 mins) : The opening exchange is exciting as both women go after each other and hold nothing back, each throwing hard strikes and attempting german suplexs early on. Del Rey attempts one but it's reversed by Lynch who does a superb dead lift german to Del Rey.

Commentator 1 : What a power move, so early on too. Becky's got a point to prove.

Del Rey is stunned and Becky charges at her and clotheslines her over the ropes, taking herself to the outside in the process. Becky then picks up her opponent and tosses her into the timekeeper.

Commentator 1 : Becky is not holding back, she is taking the fight straight to her former teacher.

Commentator 2 : Del Rey is reeling.

Del Rey pushes Becky away and retreats to the ring and Lynch follows. Becky is met with stomps by the veteran Del Rey and she then nails Becky with a jawbreaker, leaving Becky holding her face in pain. Del Rey then whips Becky into the turnbuckle, but Becky reverses and whips Del Rey into the corner instead. Becky then charges at Del Rey but she moves at the last minute and Becky hits goes through the turnbuckle shoulder first into the ringpost.

Commentator 1 : Great awareness by the veteran there, Del Rey had her scouted.

Middle (5-15 mins) : Sara smells blood, and attacks Becky's arm straight away. She starts with some simple arm twists before hitting a back-suplex with Becky's arm wrapped around her back. Del Rey then goes for a sidearm bar while the ref asks Becky if she's ready to tap, Becky says no and fights through the pain and eventually gets to the ropes. Lynch is smarting from that but Del Rey doesn't let her rest and delivers a vicious belly to belly suplex to Becky, again with her arm tucked in to inflict pain on her arm.

Commentator 1 : Del Rey has a giant target on Becky's arm and she's intent on breaking it.

Del Rey goes to pick up Lynch but Lynch manages to push her away and somehow manages to hit a nasty high kick to the face of Del Rey. Becky is still holding her arm but she appears to have broken Del Reys nose with that kick as she is busted wide open. This only enrages Del Rey more as she charges at Becky and spears her to the mat. Del Rey then kicks the arm of Lynch hard with some soccer kicks before calling for the end and locks in Beckys own submission, The Disarmer.

The Finish (15-20 mins): Del Rey locks in the hold and Becky is in pure agony as Del Rey applies alot of pressure.

Commentator 1 : Will Becky submit, will she tap?

Commentator 2 : she should give up and go back to irish dancing or something, she’s out of her depth here with Del Rey

The fans are loving this match now and a loud “this is awesome” chant breaks out. Del Rey is screaming at Becky to tap, but the Irish fighter refuses. The blood is pouring out of Del Reys nose as she roars at Becky to give up but Becky Powers out and reverses the hold, as she rolls Del Rey into a disarmer of her own, seemingly out of nothing.

Commentator 1 : What a counter, Lynch has turned the tables on Del Rey.

Commentator 2 : That was pure luck, Del Rey will counter it soon.

And the tables are turned, as Del Rey is now screaming in pain and Becky is ordering her to tap. Becky is cranking up the pressure while Del Reys face is a bloody mess. Del Rey is close to the ropes and she is inching her way over to the bottom rope but Becky Releases the hold before she reaches it and smashes Del Rey in the face with a vicious kick. Becky then drags the dizzy Del Rey back into the middle of the ring and hits her exploder suplex, before reapplying her Disarmer again.

Commentator 1 : That is the killer instinct Becky needed and Del Rey is getting what she deserves.

Becky has the hold locked in firm in the middle of the ring and Del Rey is still unwilling to tap. Becky screams at her to tap but Del Rey is defiant. Suddenly we can see Becky cranking up the hold once more and then much to the horror of the fans, Del Reys arm appears to go limp and it becomes apparent that Becky has broken her opponent's arm.

Commentator 1 : Oh my god, oh my god.

The ref steps in and Becky quickly releases the hold, seemingly in shock at her actions. Del Rey is shrieking in pure agony as she lays still on the mat clutching her arm while Becky and the fans look on in shock. The ref throws up and “X” sign and orders the ring bell be rung, ending the match. The ring announcer tells us that Becky is the winner via stoppage.

Winner :

By stoppage, Becky Lynch.

Medics come to ringside and tend to Del Rey in the ring as Becky is escorted away by the referee. Becky is about halfway down the ramp when Del Rey begins to push the medics away and she is demanding a mic. The ring announcer jumps into the ring and hold the mic up to Del Reys mouth. She is breathing and panting frantically as she speaks, directing her words at the departing Lynch.

Del Rey : Finally….Finally….Finally you are ready my student. You are ready to be champion….

Del Rey leans back down and the medics place an oxygen mask over her face as Becky looks on still in shock.

Commentator 1 : I literally am lost for words. What a match and I’m still in shock at what has transpired her.

Commentator 2 : I really didn't think Becky had that in her.

Aftermath following the PPV: Becky will be full of remorse for her actions and publicly apologise the next night and I would have Del Rey turn down the apology. Del Rey would tell Becky she has nothing to be sorry for and that she should thank her instead for bringing out her killer instinct. I would have Del Rey, wearing a cast and a sling, begin to stalk Becky, compelling her to embrace what she did and who she has become, while Becky will do her best to distance her from what she did to Del Rey. Becky could in time feud with Emma, who is calling Becky a heartless thug for what she did to her former mentor.Becky lose to her initially due to being reluctant to use her submission finisher, however she would defeat her and unintentionally injure her in the process. Becky would eventually get a title shot and slowly turn into a monster heel by embracing this new side to her in order to win the gold.

Why I booked it : I wanted the classic teacher/student feud and both of these fit the roles perfectly. Becky is the clean fresh babyface while Del Rey can be sinister and devious in her role, as well as brutal. Both are great wrestlers and could easily tell a great match in the ring and out of it. I never had a womens division at all in my 2 previous years and these two not only allow me to have one, but they add great name talent and ability to the cause. These two could easily be as good as some of the best male competitors and I would give them ample time to display their skills.

We are backstage and a BCW reporter is with Zeb Colter.....Zeb talks about Kerrys condition and how sorry he is for letting it ball happen.

Zeb Colter : Kerry is awake and recovering and his brothers are by his side, but It's all my fault. I let this happen. But mark my words I will make things right.... I'll make things right TONIGHT?

Commentator 1 : Tonight? What does Colter mean?

We go to a BCW network commercial and our PPV continues.....

PART 2!

We are backstage and a BCW reporter is standing by with Chris Hero, Johnny Gargano and Tomasso Ciampa, 3 members of the Horsemen Reborn. Each man is brandishing their title belts as Hero begins to mouth off

Chris Hero : We told everyone that we had this match in the bag and we come good on our word. Now all 4 of us have titles.

Gargano : It doesn’t matter if you’re The Von Erichs, it doesn’t matter if you are those idiots The Midnight Express down in MNG or even if your those two washed up blowhards Arn and Tully down in that BWA company up north, no one can touch us. Me and Gargano are the top dogs in tag team wrestling today and if Blanchard and Anderson or anyone else wanna come get some, they know where to find us.

Ciampa :But they should wait until after my man Cesaro beats the hell out of their good buddy Flair later tonight, because once he is done with Flair, I’m sure they won’t want any piece of The Horsemen Reborn.

The 3 men give the 4 Horseman salute to the camera as we switch back to ringside.

The Build Up : Shinsuke Nakamura debuted on the BCW scene in massive style in the Elimination Chamber and unfortunately the big mouthed was his first victim. Nakamura made quick work of EC3 in the match, eliminating him in under 3 minutes.

EC3 is a proud man and he didn't take this embarrassment lying down, especially after running his mouth so much in the build up. Carter brought the fight to Nakamura by attacking him viciously with a steel chair, smashing him over the skull over 10 times in the process.

EC3 would compare Nakamura's victory over him in The Chamber as a sneak attack, liking it to Japan's attack on the US during WW2. EC3 would challenge Nakamura the next week, but it was a fake challenge that Carter had no intention of following through on, instead he had Nakamura arrested on trumped up immigration charges and escorted from the arena.

Eric Bischoff would jump in to get the charges dropped and as a sign of good will he made this match, Nakamura v Carter for tonight and he made it a no holds barred match.

Will Ethan Carter prove he has what it takes to hang with Nakamura, or will the King of Strong style shut EC3 up once and for all?

The Match: EC3 makes his way out and Shinsuke Nakamura is out next to a great reaction. Both men stand in the ring and EC3 grabs a mic and approaches Nakamura.

Ethan Carter : You fans here in Atlanta, cheer this man? Really?.... I am a national hero, an example to American children all across the country and yet you all cheer for this leather clad sushi chef, there’s only one thing I have to say to that…

Before EC3 can finish he smashes Nakamura in the face with the mic and goes to work on the Japanese superstar as the bell rings

Beginning (1-5 mins) : Nakamura is forced back into the corner as EC3 throws hard right hands his way. EC3 continues with some hard shoulder charges before whipping Nakamura into the opposite corner and hitting a Stinger splash. EC3 has Nakamura dazed as he goes for his 1 Percenter finisher.

Commentator 2 : EC3 is going to finish this guy in record time, it's 1 minute 25 by my watch.

Carter goes to hit it but Nakamura fights out and begins to hit EC3s shins and legs with some neat kick strikes before bouncing off the ropes and hitting a corkscrew elbow smash to Carter. Nakamura then hits a beautiful dropkick to EC3, sending Carter through the ropes to the outside. Carter gathers himself only to be met with the sight of a flying Nakamura who has leaped to the second rope and dived off onto EC3 below.

Commentator 1 : What athleticism by the king of strong style, wow.

Commentator 2 : That was a kamikaze like maneuver, that's a hate crime in my book to a Pearl Harbour descendant like EC3. He should be re-arrested.

Nakamura takes the fight to the Carter by picking up a steel chair and smashing EC3 in the spine.

Middle (5-15 mins) : Nakamura, still with the chair in hand, swings wildly at EC3, but Carter ducks and Nakamura stings his hands as he smashes the ringpost instead. EC3 sees an opportunity and pushes Nakamura head first into the ring post and follows this up with an Arn Anderson like spinebuster to the concrete floor.

Commentator 1 : One thing I've learned is that EC3 is resourceful, you can’t underestimate him.

Commentator 2 : Only an idiot like you would under estimate this wrestling god.

EC3 rolls Nakamura inside and he lifts up the ring apron to pull out a police nightstick.

Commentator 2 : Ethan must have borrowed that from one of his cop buddies.

Commentator 1 : You mean one of his corrupt cop buddies that arrested Nakamura.

EC3 wastes no time as he smashes Nakamura hard in the ribs with the nightstick and then clubbing him in the back of the head. Carter then positions himself nicely into a camel clutch, using the night stick to choke Nakamura.

Commentator 1 :It’s all legal. Will Nakamura give up?

Nakamura crawls to the ropes and successful reaches the bottom rope, but Ethan rightly refuses to release the hold. Nakamura then uses the ropes to climb to his feet with EC3 choking him on his back. Nakamura then bounces off the turnbuckle three times to get EC3 to release the hold. EC3 then charges at Nakamura with the nightstick in hand but Nakamura sees it coming and quickly hits a spinning heel kick to the oncoming Carter. Nakamura falls on top of Carter and goes for a pin.

Just a two! Both men are now on their backs and the fans are eating this up.


The Finish (15-25 mins) : Nakamura and Carter get to their feet but it’s Nakamura who begins to unload on EC3 with some fantastic chops as the fans “woo” in unison. Nakamura then ducks a wild swing by EC3 and hits a nice full-nelson slam to Carter. Nakamura goes upstairs but Carter is back to his feet and pushes the ropes out of desperation and Nakamura falls groin first onto the top turnbuckle. Carter climbs up slowly and slaps Nakamura a few times before hitting a nice superplex from the top and rolls into a cover

Oooh so close but Nakamura gets the shoulder up. Carter looks frustrated but he composes himself and drags Nakamura to his feet and signals for his 1 percenter finisher. Nakamura though, has his wits about him and reverse it into a backslide pin


1…


2…


Kick out by EC3. Carter though nails Nakamura with a sharp knee to the head and then successfully hits his 1 Percenter finisher. He covers Nakamura while the fans gasp...

1….


2…


Shoulder up!. EC3 can’t believe it. Carter is in shock and argues with the ref with no joy. Carter then goes out of the ring and once again lifts up the apron to reveal a black velvet bag.

Commentator 1 : What’s EC3 up to?

EC3 comes back inside and empties the bag's contents...steel thumb tacks!

Commentator 1 : EC3 is literally taking it up a notch here.

Nakamura is dazed as EC3 drags him up and positions for another 1 percenter, this time on the thumb tacks. EC3 goes for his finisher but Nakamura blocks it and gives EC3 some hard elbows to the ribs. Nakamura steps back away from the thumb tacks and EC3 rushes at him and Nakamura nails a high kick to the side of EC3’s head and he teethers over the thumb tacks. Carter wobbles over the thumb tacks for a moment but regains his balance. EC3 composes himself and once again runs at Nakamura but this time Nakamura ducks and EC3 bounces off the ropes and into a back body drop onto the thumb tacks!!!

Commentator 1 : Look at EC3s back, the tacks are stuck to his skin.

EC3 hops around on the mat in agony but Nakamura backs up and charges at EC3 once he reaches his feet and nails him with a BOMAYE! Knee smash, with Carter falling on the thumb tacks once more. ÈC3 is out cold and lying on the steel tacks, as Nakamura drags Carter over to a relatively tack free part of the mat to covers him

….3!


Winner :

Shinsuke Nakamura

Nakamura gets his hand raised and the fans cheer as EC3 lays unconscious following the finish.

Commentator 1 : Nakamura tought EC3 a lesson and it's as simple one, don't write cheques with your mouth that your ass cant cash!

Aftermath following the PPV: I would have a rematch at the next PPV and have EC3 win via the aid of a new bodyguard type character by his side and eventually have a rubber match between the two in a cage, with Nakamura going forward. I would eventually groom Nakamura for a title shot. Carter is fine in his current role and eventually I would groom him to be a top heel but that wouldn't be pushing him to the moon just yet, but his time would come.

Why I Booked it : I wanted to showcase Nakamura as a top face and have him go over in style to push him slowly to the next level while EC3 is the perfect man for the job. He is such an underrated heel and he is not only capable of putting over Nakamura but he is more than able to put on a great match with the king of strong style.

The Build Up : Banks has been the undisputed top dog in Beyond Chaos since she arrived and no one has been able to knock her off her perch. Eric Bischoff threw Becky, Emma and Bayley at the Champion, yet Sasha overcame all 3.

Now Sasha was in need of competition and demanded Eric place her in a match with an opponent of her calibre. She wanted a challenge and Bischoff delivered. Eric introduced MMA fighter Ronda Rousey as her opponent for Ultimate Chaos.

Both women have shown their desire in recent weeks and both have ran their mouths in the build up. These women have had to been held apart on more than one occasion, most recently in a contract signing in which both their respective entourages kept them apart after the tension boiled over.

Both are capable of taking home the gold but who will reign supreme after the night is over?

Will it be fish out of water Ronda Rousey who has dominated MMA or will it be the ultra confident Banks who has already beaten all comers? Let's find out!

The Match: The tension is at fever pitch levels as Ronda Rousey makes her way out to the ring accompanied by her entourage of trainers.

She is like a female Brock Lesnar as she bounces around the ring awaiting her opponent. Sasha Banks comes out next along with her trainers and already this big fight has the big fight feel. Sasha enters and flaunts her belt at Ronda who remains unmoved. Sasha then sends her trainers to the back and Ronda does the same in response. Both women go head to head and respectfully return to their corners as the bell rings.

Commentator 1 : Here we go.

Beginning (1-5mins) : The bell sounds and Sasha explodes from the blocks with a vicious takedown that takes Ronda by surprise and Sasha unloads with hard right hands to the head of a shielding Rousey.

Commentator 1 : Wow, Sasha showing no fear, taking the fight to Rousey.

The ref breaks it up as they tangle and as they reach their feet, Sasha smashes Ronda in the face with a vicious right hook, left hook combo, sending Ronda through the ropes.

Commentator 1 : Sasha is out fighting Ronda, who would've guessed?

Ronda adjusts herself as Sasha taunts her back in the ring as the fans chant “holy sh!t”. Ronda returns and Sasha goes for head shots immediately and put Rousey spins around to avoid it and manages to get Sasha in standing arm bar. Ronda then switches and turns it into a headlock and then transitions into a drop toe hold in one smooth motion and applies a grapevine leg hold.

Commentator 1 : Now Ronda is out wrestling Sasha, you can’t write this stuff.

Sasha scrambles to the ropes and Ronda breaks the hold. Both women stand up and stare each other down as the stadium is buzzing.


Middle (5-15 mins) : Both women lock up and Ronda gets the advantage with some stiff knees to the ribcage of Banks before hitting a sweet german suplex. She doesn’t release the hold and hits two more and Sasha looks the worse for it. Sasha gets up and is met with some jabs which back her into the corner before Ronda launches her onto her back with a vicious side suplex.

Commentator 1 : Sasha is feeling it now as Ronda shows her dominance.

Ronda stands over Sasha and talks some smack but Sasha retaliates with a few neat jabs which stun Rousey. Sasha then hits two more jabs and a spinning elbow combo to make Ronda stagger, but Rousey regains control with a vicious knee strike, followed by a leg sweep takedown into a Kimura submission.

Commentator 1 : Ronda has her now, not many get out of this hold.

Sasha is in serious trouble and it looks likes Ronda is about to make her tap. Sasha is thankfully close to the ropes and manages to dangle her right leg on the bottom rope, making the ref break the hold. Sasha is easy pickings for Ronda who goes for a german suplex again but Sasha manages to spin round and reverse it into a vicious back-cracker, which is the set up for her Banks Statement submission hold. Sasha locks in the hold and the crowd is going nuts.

Commentator 1 : What a reversal out of nothing.

There is concern that Ronda may tap her and the Sasha cranks up the pressure. Just like Sasha, Ronda is luckily near the ropes and grabs the bottom rope. Both women are feeling the hurt as Sasha spears Ronda through the ropes and both women hit the floor on the outside.

Commentator 2 : Ronda isn’t used to this environment at all.

Commentator 1 : You’re right I guess, there's no fighting on the outside in MMA.

Ronda though gets the advantage by reversing an irish whip attempt of Sasha’s and drives Banks back first into the ring steps. Ronda throws Sasha back into the ring and hits an overhead german suplex, dumping Sasha on her back.

The Finish (15-23 mins) : Ronda is eyeing up Sasha for another power move but Sasha cradles her into a pin.


1…


2…..


....Kick out by Ronda. Ronda is furious and runs at Sasha but Sasha drops her with a drop toe hold and into her Banks Statement finisher once more and this time Ronda is smack dab in the middle of the ring.

Commentator 1 : Sasha has her again, will Ronda submit to The Boss?

Ronda is firmly locked into the hold and is doing her best to fight out of it to no avail. She manages to roll Sasha onto her back but Sasha rolls right through it with the hold locked in still.

Commentator 1 : Sasha is relentless, she’s not letting go.

Sasha’s face tells the story as she tightens her grip on Ronda who is still fighting her best with no success. After nearly 2 minutes in the hold, Sasha is still holding on and a defeated Ronda eventually taps out.

Winner :

Sasha Banks

The ref steps in and Sasha releases as the bell sounds. Her music plays and she is visibly exhausted as Ronda is motionless on the mat. Sasha receives her belt and her hand is raised in victory as the fans are giving her a standing ovation. Sasha celebrates but then realises Ronda making it up to her feet. Ronda approaches her and after a tense staredown, she holds her hand out to Sasha as a sign of respect. Sasha shakes her hand and both women hug it out as the fans cheer.

Commentator 1 : What a class act, what a match, both women fought their hearts out for these fans and they show their appreciation.

Aftermath following the PPV: Ronda would depart the company and Sasha would be over huge as a big legitimate champion even more. With Becky, Bayley and others in the division, she has no shortage of great opponents and I would try bring in other ladies like Awesome Kong, Bull Nakano and Manami Toyota to bring fresh challenges from other feds in some sort of cross promotion battle..

Why I Booked it : It’s a big match that would get worldwide coverage and media attention to the company while staying fans alike with the dream match. I always wanted Sasha to go over and I knew if I gave this a big fight feel and a sense of legitimacy to it, it would make the match a must see. I didn't want to over do the build up and I wanted to make both women seem like big deals. Sasha going over Ronda in such a way would give her a bucket load of credibility going forward and go along way to making our Womens division the very best.

The Build Up : Following last years PPV, Cesaro was signed to the Beyond Chaos roster and he soon won the admiration of the Beyond Chaos fanbase. He quickly rose up the ranks to be Number 1 contender to Jake Roberts Heavyweight Title. But when Roberts jumped ship before the big match and new GM Eric Bischoff was installed, Cesaro found himself back in the pack chasing for the title instead of being awarded the championship as a result of being number 1 contender.

Bischoff, thinking of boosting ratings and adding excitement to his first show in charge, announced an Elimination Chamber with Cesaro being one of the participants.

It would come down to new signing Ric Flair and Cesaro in the Chamber and 3 masked men who had run rough shot over the company the whole night had entered the chamber and it wasn’t look before they were revealed to be a new faction headed by a new darker, more selfish Cesaro called The Horsemen Reborn. These 4 men brutalised Flair in the chamber and Cesaro would walk out as the New Heavyweight Champion.

Since then Cesaro is a changed man, showing his true colours of a man obsessed with becoming champion and staying that way at all costs. Flair would be made number 1 contender and Cesaro would mock him by beating up an imposter Ric Flair for his own amusement. He and the Horsemen have run roughshot over the entire company and Ric Flair has been Cesaro's number one target. Cesaro would be attacked by a returning Ric Flair a week after the chamber, but Cesaro would leave Flair in a pool of his own blood for the second time in two weeks, by throwing the 16 time champion through a glass window.

The next week, Flair would reappear to attack Cesaro during the “Celebration of Cesaro” thrown by The Horsemen Reborn for their egomaniacal leader. Ric would pay the same Imposter Ric Flair to distract the Horsemen as the real Flair would pop out of a novelty cake to attack the champ and leave he and The Horsemen with the message that Flair wasn’t going down without a fight.

But Cesaro would take things to a whole new level the next week as he would attack Ric Flair and handcuff Ric to the ropes as a live feed would play on the Tron of The horsemen brutalising Rics eldest son David at his family home. Cesaro would also inform Ric that their match was now a 60 Minute Ironman match and to finally prove he was The man now!

Tonight it will be all left in the ring as both men will slug it out for 60 minutes for the heavyweight Title. Will Ric Flair put Cesaro in his place and prove he is still the man or will Cesaro prove he is no pretender by beating Ric Flair in a match he was famous for? Lets find out!

The Match: : Ric Flairs space odyssey theme roars out of the speaker system and the Atlanta crowd go nuts. The obvious pro Flair crowd bring the noise up a notch as Ric Flair strolls out in a white and gold trademark robe and he looks ready for action. We see plenty of pro-Flair signs in the crowd and Flair looks humbled by the support.

Commentator 2 : These fans in Atlanta are so gullible, they are like sheep brainwashed into being Flair fans. Ric is old news

Commentator 1 : They are just showing respect to a man who earned it.

The fans soon change their tune as The Horsemen theme hits. The usual Horsemen them of 30 Seconds to Mars begins but then its suddenly remixed into the intro for a new theme for Cesaro by Pendulum.

The music plays and white smoke begins to fill the entrance way and as the intro kicks in, we see a giant glass case emerge from the steamy smoke and Cesaro is in cased in the glass as it rises from the smoke. Cesaro is extremely still as the song kicks in and suddenly he smashes the glass with his fist and it shatters around him.(its prop glass obviously). Cesaro raises the belt over his head and lets out a battle cry roar as the fans reign heavy boo’s down on him. Pyro’s go off around him as he walks to the ring and he eyeballs Flair as he steps between the ropes.

Commentator 1 : How is Flair controlling himself after what Cesaro did to his son David?

As soon as the commentator utters those words, Flair lunges at Cesaro and begins pummelling the champ.

Commentator 1 : Flairs lost it, Flair is like a man possessed.

Beginning (1- 20 mins) : We have no time for big fight introductions as the brawl begins. The bell sounds and Flair is not relenting in his assault. Cesaro squirms to the outside and Flair is right behind him, clubbing him with rights and lefts. Flair grabs Cesaro by the skull and smashes his face off the announce table. Flair then swings Cesaro around and throws him over the announce table into the commentary team who scramble out of the way. Flair steps behind to plant more right hands on Cesaro before grabbing a beverage off the table, sipping it before throwing it over the Cesaro

Commentator 2 : I paid nearly 7 bucks for that drink, you owe me Flair.

Flair lets out a big “woooo” as he continues his assault of Cesaro by throwing him back over the announce table. The fans eat it all up as Cesaro is reeling early on and Flair makes things worse for the champ as he throws him hard into the fan barricade. Flair then tosses Cesaro back in and Flair still is all over him as he backs him into the corner. Flair then begins hits a vicious chop to the bare chest of Cesaro much to the happiness of the crowd who “woo” in unison. Cesaro is clearly hurting but Flair isn’t finished with one and he chops the champ with a frenzy open hands over a dozen times.

Commentator 1 : Look at Cesaro’s chest, it’s the colour of beetroot

Cesaro then out of desperation rakes Flair in the eyes, blinding Flair temporarily, giving Cesaro a small window of opportunity. Cesaro then delivers rough looking european uppercut, knocking Flair backwards. Cesaro follows up with a running bulldog to Flair, which buys him more time to recover from Flairs earlier onslaught.

Commentator 2 : Cesaro is top dog here...Flair is just an old dog who needs to be put out of his misery.

Commentator 1 : He’s a sixteen time champion, show some respect.

Commentator 2 : He’s had more divorces than title reigns.

Cesaro goes for the cover for the first pin fall but Flair kicks out at 2. Cesaro stays on top of Flair by hitting a massive tilt-a-whirl backbreaker, followed by an impressive deadlift suplex, bridging majestically into a pin


1…


2…


Kick out by Flair, it’s still 0-0. Cesaro is up first but he is unwisely decides to take his eye off the ball to taunt the fans in attendance who continue to woo in support of Flair. This allows Flair to roll up Cesaro in a schoolboy..

Not enough. Cesaro kicked out for a third time. Both men began punching each other with stiff rights but it quickly descends into a chopping contest. Both men’s chest went red with welts from these chops as the fans eat it up with “woo” chants at every chop.

Cesaro tried a kick but Flair caught it and gives him the finger. This is a bad move by Flair as Cesaro then impressively hits an enzuigiri that floored Flair and silenced the crowd. Cesaro then sets up Flair for a sharpshooter, but Flair cradles him for another quick pin


1…


2….


Kick out by Cesaro. So close. Flair has no time to waste as Cesaro is back up and Flair catches him in the jaw with a right hook. Cesaro though no-sells it and scoops Flair up high over his head and slams him to the mat with a running powerslam. Cesaro then signals for a sharphooter once more and locks it in successfully this time.

Commentator 1 : Cesaro leans back and Flair's face says it all. He's in trouble right here

Flair looks in severe pain but after a few moments he manages to crawl and reach the ropes. Still 0-0 and Cesaro looks frustrated.

Score so far 0-0!

Middle (20-40 mins): The match continues as Flair recovers from the sharpshooter in the corner, Cesaro comes for him, but Flair hits a low blow that somehow the ref manages to miss.

Commentator 1 : Cesaro should of wore that cup he had last week.

Commentator 2 : That’s a dq, how did the ref not spot that. He must be in cahoots with Flair.

Flair takes control with a wicked sideslam followed my around 5 elbow drops with loud Woo’s in between each elbow. Flair then goes to the second rope and hits a bionic elbow for a pin

Kick out by the Swiss Superman. Flair then signals for a figure 4 submission but Cesaro counters that into a cradle pin

Wait Flair reverse it into a pin of his own


1…


2…..


Kick out by Cesaro. Still 0-0. Flair then goes for a running clothesline, but Cesaro has the same idea and they collide, clotheslining eachother. Both men are down and the fans urge Flair to his feet. Both men reach their feet at the same time and begin trading right hands. The fans ‘ooh!---aah” After each blow, but Flair swings and misses Cesaro and Cesaro pushes him at the ropes and hits Ric with a nasty pop-up european uppercut. Cesaro for the first pin fall


1….


2….


Kickout by Flair at 2 and ¾.

Commentator 1 : How did Flair kick out of that, i was sure he was done.

Commentator 2 : That was 3, I tell ya that ref is shady. Is it Charles Robinson in a wig?

Cesaro looks exhausted but he drags flare up and whips him to the ropes. Flair tries to counter with a dropkick, but Cesaro catches his legs and begins a giant swing to Flair. Cesaro rotates Flair around 8 times before dropping him. It looks like Cesaro is going to set up the sharpshooter again but he instead opts for Flairs own Figure 4 leglock

Commentator 1 : Is he going to put Flair away with his own move?

Cesaro locks in the Figure 4 and Flair is in pure agony. Cesaro smiles as he applies pressure and Flair punches the mat in pain.

Commentator 2 : Thats a tap, 1-0 Cesaro

Commentator 1 : That’s not a tap out you moron.

Flair summons some strength and manages to reverse the figure 4 by rolling over and now Cesaro is in pain. This doesnt last long as Cesaro rolls over and grabs the ropes, making Flair release after a 5 count. Bothe men hobble to their feet and Cesaro regains the advantage with a gruesome uppercut followed by a gutwrench powerbomb. Cesaro with the cover

1…


2….

Flair kicks out just before 3. While Flair is on his back, Cesaro climbs the ropes and dives off, headbutting Flair, hurting himself in the process. Cesaro eventually covers Flair

1….


2….

Flair gets his shoulder up and Cesaro looks out of ideas with 20 minutes to go.

Score so far 0-0.

The ending (40-60mins) : Cesaro drags Flair to his feet and signals the end. He hoists Flair up for a Neuralizer, but Flair somehow manages to poke Cesaro in the eye, allowing Flair to wiggle out. Flair hen ducks a clothesline and goes for a crossbody but he is caught in mid air. Cesaro then while holding Flair, repositions Flair into a gorilla press and then drops Flair into a flawless falling uppercut. Flair looks out cold as Cesaro pins him


1…


2…


The ref stops as Flairs foot is on the rope. Cesaro protests and grabs the ref by the collar. The ref reminds Cesaro he is in danger of being dq’ed as Flair then rolls Cesaro up and uses the ropes for leverage.


1…


2….


The ref spots Flairs antics and stops the count. Both men slowly reach their feet, with both clearly tired with not much left in them as the clock on the screen reads “9.56 remaining/2. Both men trade lefts and rights again, and Cesaro gains the advantage with and delivers sweet german suplex with a bridging pin.

1…


2…


The ref stops the count, informing Cesaro that both he and Flairs shoulders were pinned. Cesaro is furious and again grabs the ref and tells him it was his 3. The ref has no of it and Cesaro returns his attention to Flair. He once again drags Flair up for a Neutraliser and Flair once again manages to get free, this time by squeezing Cesaro's family jewels. The ref misses it as Cesaro is in clear discomfort. Flair gets to his feet and Cesaro charges at him but Flair counters with a double leg take down and locks in his Figure 4 to the loud approval of the fans.

Commentator 2 : Once again that should be a dq. This is a travesty.

Commentator 1 : Flair has it locked in with under 5 minutes to go.

Flair uses every ounce of strength in his body to put pressure on Cesaro, who is reeling in pain. The seconds tick by as Flair looks like a madman. Cesaro is still hanging on as Flair doesn't look like releasing anytime soon, yelling at Cesaro “to tap you son of a b!tch”

Commentator 1 : Cesaro has nowhere to go, will he give up.

2 minutes remain and Cesaro is fading and no longer trying to power out, he’s just holding his head trying to ignore the excruciating pain. Flair is doing his best to keep the pressure on as the buzzer sounds that 1 minute is remaining. The fans begin to chant “tap, tap, tap” as Cesaro’s hand hovers over the mat, looking like he’s close to tapping out. The second count down as the sweat pours from both men with Flair doing his best to make Cesaro tap.

Commentator 1 : Will Cesaro tap? Will he hang on?

With ten seconds remaining, Cesaro teases tapping, but the buzz goes and Cesaro then taps out and the bell rings.

Commentator 1 : Did he tap? Did he make it?

The ref talks to the ring announcer as Flair breaks the hold. Flair waits in anticipation as the Ring Announcer speaks..

Ring Announcer : After consulting with the match official he has decided that Cesaro tapped….after the time ran out, so the match is a draw. So therefore, still your Heavyweight Champion...Cesaro

Cesaro’s music plays but he is still in agony, clutching his leg, but you can see a wild smile on his face as Flair looks on in disappointment.

Suddenly….......


Eric Bischoff’s music hits and out walks the General Manager. He intercepts the belt before it is given back to Cesaro and grabs a mic.

Eric Bischoff : Now I’m not having a draw. We all want to see who the better man is between you two, so This match is going into overtime!!!! We must and will have a winner!!!


Commentator 1 : overtime...my word what a development.

Cesaro is furious yet still hurting as Flair smiles. Eric leaves the ring and orders a restart before he heads back up the ramp.

Cesaro limps up to his feet as the bell rings to signal the restart.

Overtime/ The Finish : Both men look like they are mentally and physically done, but they go at it slowly. After an exchange, Flair is caught by Cesaro into a Neutraliser position again, but Flair tries to wiggle out and Cesaro’s leg buckles as a result of the earlier Figure 4. Flair stand over Cesaro and tells him “this one is for my son David you b@stard as he grabs his leg and goes for another Figure 4. But as Ric steps over, Cesaro uses his good leg to kick Flair off and Flair tumbles hard into the ref, knocking him over. Cesaro is doubled up in pain on the mat, clutching his injured leg as teh commentators ponder who will win....

Commentator 1 : Flair is down, Cesaro is hurt and now the ref is down. What next?

Suddenly the fans pop as we see Zeb Colter is making his way to ringside with a chair in hand.

Commentator 2 : Whats this washed up manager doing here, hasn’t he done enough damage.

Commentator 1 : I dunno, is this what he meant earlier when he said he was going to make things right once and for all?

Zeb stand over both men with the chair and sizes up Cesaro. Cesaro begins to stir, as does Flair and Colter firmly has the chair cocked, ready to nail Cesaro.

Commentator 1 : Is Zeb Colter going to get revenge against The Horsemen by screwing Cesaro???

He begins to talk trash at Cesaro saying he caused all this. Flair gingerly reaches his feet but as he does ZEB TURNS TO HIM AND CLOCKS FLAIR WITH THE CHAIR!!!!!

Commentator 1 : What the hell? What in god's name is happening?

Commentator 2 : I’ve no idea, but I love it.

Cesaro is helped up by Zeb and they hug in the center of the ring over Flair’s lifeless body. Zeb hands Cesaro the steel chair and goes to the outside as Flair gets to his feet only to be smashed in the face by achairshot from the champion. Cesaro smirks as Flair is lifeless on the mat. Flair then is dragged up by Cesaro and the champ hits a vicious Neutraliser to Ric Flair, with Flair landing facefirst on the chair. Zeb revives the ref in time so Cesaro can cover him

1…..


2….


….3!


Winner :

Cesaro

Cesaro’s music plays and Zeb grabs the belt from the timekeeper and puts it over Cesaro’s shoulder. Cesaro and Colter embrace once more and they are joined in celebration by the rest of the Horsemen Reborn.

Commentator 1 : Why Zeb Why? This is not right, this is not right at all.

Commentator 2 : I have no idea what I’m seeing but look at that image, all 4 Horsemen with a title each. What a sight. This is a huge moment in professional wrestling.

Commentator 1 : Zeb has just screwed Flair, he's was a Horseman all along!

All 5 men salute each other in the ring as fireworks go off and confetti rains from above. We go off the air with the image of all 4 men doing the Horsemen salute while each man raise their titles, while Flair lies motionless at their feet.

Aftermath following the PPV: The Next night, all will be revealed. Zeb will be revealed as the mastermind behind the new Horsemen Reborn. He and his old buddy Cesaro, who he used to manage, will tell the world that zeb contacted him with his masterplan to take Cesaro to the top. It was Zebs idea to recruit Gargano and Ciampa and it was Zeb who concocted the plan to infiltrate the Von Erichs (the former tag team and IC champs).

Everything would make sense. Zeb was the man who suggested that Kerry put his title on the line against Hero, …. It was Zeb who tossed the chair to Hero (alleging it was intended for Kerry) and it was Zeb who challenged the Horsemen to the winner takes all match.. And worst of all it was Zeb who gave Kerry extra strength painkillers, knowing it would do him in at the PPV and secure victory for the Horsemen. It was Zeb all along!!!!

Flair would go away for a while and ponder retirement, while Cesaro would continue to be the top heel with potential feuds with a “road to redemption” type story vs Kerry Von Erich and the rising star that is Shinsuke Nakamura. Flair could return for one last match, along with perhaps his buddies Arn and Tully to battle The Horsemen one last time, and perhaps have one last match with Cesaro with his career on the line but the young stars are the future.

Why I Booked it : I wanted a big dramatic story to takeover my show. This main storyline hopefully entertained everyone and pushed the right guys in the right way. Cesaro is one of the most over guys in WWE right now and he is extremely talented and I think people would believe him as the disgruntled star who is constantly held back, who decides to do whatever it takes to win. Flair is probably the best ever wrestler in my opinion while in his prime. He is in a league of his own from a charisma point of view and boy could be wrestle. Him and Cesaro would be more than capable of delivering a 60 minute match and keep the viewers interested and entertained the whole way. Now all The Horsemen carry titles and they are truly dominant going forward.

Thank for reading guys and hopefully vote of me come polling time. Cheers!

Welcome to BWA Wrestlepalooza!
Live from "The Big House" Michigan Field
Attendance:120,000

BWA.com / Network exclsive pre-show

---

A short video package plays showing The previous 5 BWA Wrestlepaloozas and even the 3 BWA "big shows" (Judgement day and Wrestlemania) that proceeded them. There was a special focus given to last years draft winning entry Wrestlepalooza V before it is highlighted that despite winning the boards ratings war there was now a big target on the back of the BWA and that not only the usuals like Monday Night Grappling, WECWF or even Beyond Chaos Wrestling were gunning for that top spot but a whole host of other federations had sprung up with that sole goal in mind and that now more than ever the BWA would have to bring their A game. Now at the largest (120k crowd) American Pro wrestling event of all time, with the most stacked card in the company's nine year run the video says is when greatness will show itself as The Big One begins...

Monsoon: We welcome you to a sold out (new record attendance) Wrestlepalooza VI here at "The Big House" in Michigan. This is the Pre-Show and I am Gorilla Monsoon and here is my co-commentator Bobby "The Brain" Heenan

Heenan: Thank you for that adequate introduction Gorilla, a legend of the sport deserves no less and can you feel it, tonight is also going to be a legendary night... in fact let me get this started the right way.

Heenan gets up from commentary and heads into the ring with a Mic in hand:

Heenan: Ladies and Gentleman congratulations... not only are you part of a record breaking crowd attendance but you get to start the show listening to me Bobby Heenan. You are also lucky enough that you will get to witness one of the greatest nights in pro-wrestling history and the night when every Wrestling fan all around the world is forced to agree with everything I have been telling you about the greatness of The Heenan Family. The Tag team champions of the world, The Brainbusters Arn Anderson & Tully Blanchard will prove without a shodow of doubt that they are the greatest tag team champion of all time when they dismantle your current flash in the pan trendy tag team of the week American Alpha.... (The fans who had been enjoying Heenans shtick begin to boo).... boo all you like but the truth isn't always popular and that goes tenfold for tonight where not only will my man The Ravishing One Rick Rude become the no.1 contender but in the main event when The most destructive force in Pro Wrestling today, or at any time for that matter, Brock Lesnar will squash the ultimate underdog Daniel Bryan (the boos ring out again). However before all that in the first match of the night you lucky people are going to be given a rare treat as I Bobby "The Brain" Heenan wrestle in the match that will either see my Family grow in Size or start our winning streak for the night

Heenan lets out a big smile then as his opponent Barry Horowitz makes his way out, meanwhile Bounty Hunter replaces Heenan on commentary.

A fight for representation


Bobby Heenan vs Barry Horowitz

Backstory: Barry Horowitz is determined to change his career for the better but to do so he believes he needs a manager and who better than Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. Heenan believes he can turn around Barry's career but wants Horowitz to earn it. He doesn't want to manage a loser and tells him that if He is going to join the Heenan Family he has to win a match first. Not only that but he sets a deadline on when this has to be done by, Wrestlepalooza. This was actually music to Horowitz's ears but what followed wasn't with Heenan actually berating him from the announce table when he failed to defeat a foe and the following week feeding him to Brock Lesnar just to make a point to Brie Bella. In fact that beating hurt him so badly he wasn't even able to compete the following week and would have lost his chance to join the family if not for one thing... The PPV pre-show. Horowitz p!ssed at Heenan challenged him to a 1on1 match on the pre-show and considering how badly banged up he was Heenan happily obliged. Will Barry get his win and join Heenans family or will The Brain start the night out for a win on what he claims will be a night of wins for the Heenan Family?

The match starts out slow with Horowitz on the attack but as Monsoon notes on commentary Heenan is constantly able to weasel his way out of harms way. Finally a frustrated Horowitz catches Heenan with a big clothesline and then sets him up for what he refers to as his Winner-Plex, Bridging Northern Lights suplex but he does so too close to the ropes and he is forced to break the pin by the ref. The Brain then shows what Monsoon describes as "some balls" by getting straight up and getting in Barry's face and continuing to trash talk him which it seemed like he had been doing for the whole fight up to this point. This time it is clear what it is he's saying though putting his finger to his temple and stating that Horowitz doesn't fight with his mind and that "that's why he is a jobber".

It seems clear that Heenan is trying to get into his opponents head and throw him off his game here but this seems to ring true to Horowitz even though he initially lets emotion get the best of him and charges at his opponent which Heenan simply sidesteps sending Horowitz crashing into the corner turnbuckle. Brain starts striking him in the back and keeping him cornered but suddenly Horowitz's hand shoots up as he calls out for the ref and Heenan stops. We find out that Barry has told the ref that his contacts were knocked to the outside of the ring and that he can't see anything. The ref leans out over the ropes scanning the area for the contacts while Heenan dismisses this... he was right as out of nowhere Horowitz turns around and low blows Heenan then before the ref can turn around rolls him up in his Horowitz Cradle (Three-quarter nelson cradle) which eventually gets a 3 count pin from a confused looking referee.

Winner:

Barry Horowitz

After the match the two face off in the ring but after a few moments Heenan reaches out and embraces Horowitz before then lifting his hand up into the air and proclaiming him the newest member of the Heenan Family.

booking explanation: I like the narrative of Horowitz cheating to win and Heenan being proud of this and considering it his first lesson taught. done this way and it comes across as a win win for both men especially as it also increases the size of "The Heenan Family" even if Horowitz may end up just being their whipping boy, for now at least he seems like more than just enhancement talent.

Gorilla Monsoon welcomes Heenan back to the announcers table and when he joins commentary he is actually complimentary of Horowitz and says that he just taught him his first lesson as a mentor, Rules are made to be broken! After which the two introduce the intro promo for Wrestlepalooza as the Pre-show comes to an end.

The Full PPV Begins

Gorilla Monsoon Welcomes everyone to wrestlepalooza and introduces the next match with a heartfelt speech about he could no longer sit back and watch injustices being portrayed in the BWA from the announce table when he could do something about it. He briefly mentioned that he was unable to stop the rise of the Heenan family but that he wasn't about to sit idly by while a man he used to team with and more importantly call a friend was running roughshod over the BWA with the Von Erichs by his side. He said then introduced the men he said had his back when he face Brock Lesnar and who he now happily stands beside...The Brisco Brothers. Next out are the Japanese trio of Giant Baba, Jumbo Tsuruta & Takeshi Morishima who emerge after Jack Brisco says they shouldn't get in their way even if they also have beef with their opponents tonight. This almost leads to them coming to blows with the match starting early but they don't have to wait long as Killer Kowalski, Fritz and Waldo Von Erich as they have recently come charging out of the crowd and surprise attack their opponents as the bell sounds.

International trios tornado tag team match


The Brisco Brothers & Gorilla Monsoon vs Killer Kowalski, Fritz & Waldo Von Erich vs Giant Baba, Jumbo Tsuruta & Takeshi Morishima

Backstory: Kowalski and The Von Erich's made their presence known by attacking numerous wrestlers over the past several weeks including on more than one occasion The Brisco Brothers. These wrestlers only had one thing in common, they were American. It was in Canada at the Royal Rumble that they announced their anti American reasons for their actions since arriving in the BWA so perhaps it shouldn't be a massive surprise that they were actually cheered by the fans but those cheers dried up when the company returned stateside. No doubt the fact that Bobby Heenan paying them off to attack a non American (Japanese) superstar making them seem like hypocrites made it an easy choice.

That Superstar was Takeshi Morishima, and he is not someone to go down without a fight and now with his compatriots Giant Baba & Jumbo Tsuruta he has the backup needed in order to get the revenge he desires from his attackers. Also in need of backup were The Briscos who were told that they would not get the Wrestlepalooza match they desired against The Von Erichs and Kowalski without a 3rd man. Cometh the day and cometh the man as Kowalski's old tag team partner Gorilla Monsoon steps up to the plate because he is sick of what he sees when he looks at his former partner. So now it's three teams of three all going head to head at the big show in "The Big House".

The Match - Despite not being full of small speedy high flyers this is what is often considered the match that a PPV should start with, a fast paced action packed bout that really gets the crowd going and with so many people involved there is both something always happening and something the refs cannot stop from happening. Little pockets of action began to form such as Morishima vs Waldo Von Erich, Jumbo Tsuruta who took particular objection to his warning earlier against Jack Brisco while his brother Gerry took on Fritz Von Erich. Meanwhile what seemed like a triple threat wrestling match was developing in ring with Kowalski, Monsoon and Giant Baba all going toe to toe.

Heenan and Bounty Hunter (who replaced Monsoon) can barely keep up with all the action but do highlight these main spots before the fight builds to it's conclusion. Jumbo Tsuruta delivered a devastating powerbomb to Gerry Brisco on the outside. As revenge Jack Brisco was later able to perform what was essentially a superplex but from off the spanish announce table instead of the top turnbuckle to Jumbo and take him out but then himself fell prone the the Von Erich's teaming up to deliver a double Iron Claw which they only release because Killer Kowalski calls for their assistance. However they were not able to escape punishment either as Takeshi Morishima wowed the crowd by taking out both men with his Scud Missile (Front missile dropkick) maneuver from the top rope as they tried to enter the ring.

This acturally plays into the finish of the match as Morishima seems to hurt his back preforming the move and when he tried to get back to his feet was struck by a Kowalski high knee that sent him crashing to the outside where he landed hard on his back. Seeing his friend thrown to the outside Giant Baba turned his attention from Monsoon to Kowalski and charged at Killer but the Polish canadian was able to barely dodge his attack at the last moment leaving the Japanese legend to be taken over the top rope by his momentum and join his compatriot by crashing to the outside where he actually landed atop Morishima and amongst all the other downed (literally everyone else was barely moving on the outside) wrestlers. Monsoon didn't just stand around and watch though and also charged at Kowalski but this time Killer didn't have time to avoid the attack. A number of big backhand chops later and Kowalski was prone for Monsoons Gorilla press slam. The crowd erupt as he hits it and are loving it as he goes for his running Gorilla Splash finisher but as he bounces off the ring ropes his foot is caught by Fritz Von Erich on the outside and he falls face first onto the mat.

When he gets back up both Von Erich's are in the ring and lock in their double Iron Claw finisher on him. It's no surprise they are the first two back in action from the pack on the outside after all they were only hit with a dropkick but what is a surprise is that Monsoon refuses to tap out considering how long they have him in the hold, long enough for Kowalski to get back to his feet and add his own Claw hold to the mix at which point Monsoon is forced to tap before he essentially passes out

Winners:

Killer Kowalski, Fritz & Walso Von Erich

After momentarily basking in the moment the victors notice everyone beginning to move around on the outside and decide to not stick around.

Booking explanation: Most of the competitors in this match are brand new to the BWA for example all three Japanese wrestlers who have had only 1 BWA match combined and that was a 1on1 squash with Barry Horowitz. This matches fills the fast paced multi man slot you often see to get the fans going at the start of PPVs but also allows these new guys showcase their stuff and not look weak by taking a pin. Meanwhile the heel group who have been making headlines get the win against an American and perhaps the former tag partners Kowalski & Monsoon might feud now while others like The Briscoes (who had backed Monsoon up vs Brock) might go up against The Von Erichs as their Anti-America story comes back to the fore while Giant Baba & Jumbo Tsuruta could head into the tag title contention.

-Backstage segment-

We go backstage to Gorgeous George's dressing room where he and Nikki Bella are being interviewed by JoJo who asks Nikki if she is fully prepared for her (and her sisters) match against Kharma tonight. George however tells JoJo that he will conduct the interview and orders her to go out and disinfectant the ring (before his match which is up next) with his "Chanel #10" as he called it saying "Why be half-safe?" George then goes on to ask a number of very leading questions. "Since you joined me here in the BWA I have given you more than my gorgeous body have I not? You have been able to learn every move in the Gorgeous George playbook yes? and you have been able to pass this knowledge on to your sister hmm? Then you have nothing to fear from that oversized behemoth now be a dear and get me my robe... I've got a bum bandits dreams to squash.

Elsewhere Sean Mooney is with Pat Paterson who keeps things simple when asked about his game plan for his street fight with Gorgeous George simply saying "I will hurt him, I will make him bleed and then I will take MY title back!" Patterson then heads out to the ring while Mooney informs us that although it will be a no DQ street fight the BWA board ordered that Nikki Bella not get involved in the match, not only do they not want to see her put in such a dangerous position but they do not want to put tonights BWA Womens title match in jeopardy.

As we return we see we now have a temporary three man announce team as Monsoon is essentially inactive recovering after his bout and Bounty Hunters services are still needed. Bounty Hunter sticks up for Monsoon saying that he was in a 3 on 1 situation at the end and that it was an unfair advantage but Heenan highlights that both of them lost in their matches and their opponents had "an unfair advantage in both cases" but that you didn't hear him complaining. Monsoon shoots him a look that says what he usually tells Heenan (Will you stop) but this time Bobby actually does stop sensing his colleague was not in the mood for his antics at this moment and instead introduces the next match, a match where he says nobody can complain about unfair advantages or people bending the rules.... because there won't be any!

Intercontinental Title Street Fight (with Patterson's BWA Career on the line)


Pat Patterson vs Gorgeous George

Backstory: Last year at Wrestlepalooza V in perhaps the most heated rivalry of them all the first ever Intercontinental champion Pat Patterson faced off against his former idol, the man he cited as the reason why he got into wrestling... Gorgeous George. You know what they say though, never meet your heroes, they just never live up to your imagination of them and boy did George fit that billing. He dropped all the pageantry that Patterson had grown up loving saying he only did so to annoy people and arrogantly ran down Patterson who had recently come out to the world with numerous homophobic slurs before cheating to win the Intercontinental title at the PPV. George left Patterson a broken man while he arguably gained more notoriety and hatred from the fans than he ever had before. Slowly throughout the year as George faced off against other foes he re-introduced his over the top flamboyant ways to enrage his opponents and the fans even further so it should be no surprise that when Pat Patterson finally returned to confront George the fans went crazy for him. He was instantly one of the most over men in the company and everyone wanted to see him get his revenge. Unfortunately for Pat though he was too honorable and would not stoop to George's level to defeat him but at Wrestlepalooza in a scenario where there were no rules to break things could be different but to get his opponent to agree to such a match up Pat had to make the ultimate sacrifice and put his BWA career on the line... this match could not be anymore heated or have anymore on the line for Patterson!

The Match - Patterson who is out first is kept waiting a long time for his opponent to finally emerge and make his over the top entrance which includes rose petals being layed at his feet as he walks to the ring. Pat is able to barely restrain himself until the bell rings but the moment it does he sees red and and the battle begins with Patterson cracking a number of big rights and lefts off the chin of the champ. George eventually is able to get a moment to adjust to the match when he Irish whips Patterson across the ring but as the challenger returns he nails the man known as "The Human Orchid" with a spear straight through the ropes and to the outside. The crowd are loving the pace Patterson has started at and he is not letting up as he gets to his feet first then proceeds to pick George up and smack him back down twice. The third time however as he picks him up George uses his shoulder to drive Patterson into the ringsteps giving himself a minute to recuperate. Monsoon theroizes however that it's the adrenaline running through him that sees him get back to his feet so quickly and begin to stalk the IC champ around the ring except apparently while he was downed he had reached below the ring to find a weapon as now he carries with him a singapore cane!

Whack! Bam! Whallop! the crowd are loving it as Patterson repeatedly strikes him with the cane as George stumbles up the ramp way. Patterson goes to deliver a number of strikes more when George suddenly pulls a cameraman in between them as a human shield and he (the cameraman) is inadvertently hit hard across the back causing him to drop his camera. Good guy patterson for the first time in the fight snaps out of the revenge induced rage he was in and shows concern for the innocent bystander he just hurt but loses all his momentum by doing so as Gorgeous George snatches up the camera and rams it into his assailants head busting him wide open and dropping him down to his knees. George then goes around behind Patterson and using the cable from the camera starts to try to choke the life out of him. Pat fervently attempts to loosen the cable around his neck but Georges grip is too strong and Pattersons face actually starts to go red as he struggles to breath. As the camera zooms in on his face another thing that can be seen is... a moment of realization, this is a no DQ match and in one swift movement he drives his elbow backwards into Georges crotch.

Suddenly both men are bent over trying to catch their breath half way up the ramp. The thing is this is Wrestlepalooza and not a normal show so The Ramp way is especially long and they are actually elevated several feet as they both slowly get back to their feet and begin exchanging big rights and lefts. They do so for a good minute and both men look barely able to stand under their own weight when Gorgeous George breaks up the exchange with a headbutt and sends Patterson stumbling backwards before a big uppercut leaves him precariously teetering on the edge of the ramp just able to keep himself from falling off (as the crowd ooh and ahh). Sensing his opportunity George swings a huge haymaker but Paterson just about ducks under it before grabbing his opponent and OH SH!T backdrop off the ramp! The commentators point out that it's a metal floor next to the ramp way as we see replays and EMTs are called but wait Patterson isn't done! He slaps his knee repeatidly then points down to where George is lying asking the crowd what should he do... the answer is clear as Pat runs and jumps up another few feet before coming down strong with his Diving knee drop finisher. George cries out in pain so loud that according to Heenan he pierced eardrums up in the cheap seats of this 120,000 seater arena while Patterson rolls over on top of him as an official (back up on the rampway) counts 1.....2....3!

Winner:

Pat Patterson

Booking Explanation: Gorgeous George really has to get his comeuppance and after a more than year long build including their match at last years Wrestlepalooza Patterson finally having his moment and getting his retribution here while once again becoming the Intercontinental champion would be a great moment

Both men are in need of assistance as they leave the arena but the new champ (clutching the belt in his arms as he goes) is at least able to walk out of the arena while George needs to be stretchered out after one hell of a battle.

-Backstage Segment-

As they re-arrange the ringside area we are brough to a pre-recorded backstage interview from earlier in the night as Eden Stiles sits down with Salvator "Gory" Guerrero

Eden: Gory, I have to ask... what is your mindset heading into your match tonight with the woman you clearly adore Aja Kong? are you really going to be able to beat her in a physical battle?

Guerrero: Thing is Eden you know she wants some Latino heat otherwise she wouldn't have made this match, she is just testing me but I'd like to take this opportunity to highlight to the world that this man right here would never raise his hand in anger to a beautiful mamacita like Aja.... that said she will be mine

He then winks at the camera as we head back to ringside

intergender singles match
Gory Guerrero vs Aja Kong

Backstory: On the first Raw of the new season Gory Guerrero started wooing a mystery woman even dedicating his matches to this as he described her "Caliente Mamacita". Many people assumed that this may have been one of the Bella twins or some similar Diva but her identity was revealed as being none other than Aja Kong at The Royal Rumble when he invited her out to ringside to watch his Intercontinental title match, a match she actually ended up costing him after she slapped him silly for aiming an inappropriate gesture her way. This did not deter the smitten patriarch of the Guerrero family however as he was determined to show her where Eddie got his Latino heat from and over the following weeks their paths continued to cross until eventually it all come to a head when after her match (that he had been a keen observer of) Aja offered him a chance to be her man but first he must prove that he could handle her... by facing her (and winning) in a match at Wrestlepalooza!

The Match - As the bell rings Aja gestures for Gory to come and try to attack her but he shakes his head and can be seen telling her he won't attack her. Aja's response is a huge clothesline. This process repeats itself three times with Guerrero slowly getting up refusing to attack Kong and then getting knocked back down on his ass. Heenan is having great fun making fun of him on commentary but Monsoon defends Gory calling him an honorable man but questioning how he could possibly win if he won't attack his opponent. Moments later as Aja goes for a 4th big clothesline and Gory is able to side step the attack before rolling her up for an inside cradle pin he is almost able to answer that question but she kicks out at 2. They both get to their feet at almost the same time though and Aja is immediately back on the attack with a number of big backhand strikes before she suplexes Gory across the ring. As he lands he also collides with the ref who who drops to the mat like a sack of potatoes.

Spotting this Gory rolls to the outside and grabs a steel chair much to Heenan's amusement as he starts shouting about how Gory has finally snapped and won't take any more from Kong. Instead we are treated to a Guerrero classic as he slides back into the ring and keeps Aja at bay with the threat of the chair until just before the ref gets back to his feet when Gory throws the chair to Aja and drops to the mat feigning injury. He's obviously hoping for a DQ but the ref isn't buying it and instead just groggily takes the chair from Aja and goes to the opposite of the ring where eventually a BWA ring hand takes the chair from him. However everyone's attention is on Gory who rises from the mat to one knee and before Kong delivers a planned big kick she is stopped in his tracks by Guerrero producing a ring from his boot. Aja looks shocked and doesen't know what to do as Gory slides the ring onto her finger he then suddenly pulls something across his forehead before dropping to the mat as the ref turns around. When he does he see a confused looking Aja standing above a now bloodied Guerrero. The ref sees the ring on her finger and immediately calls for the bell!

Winner:

Via DQ - Gory Guerrero

Booking explanation: I really liked the idea of Guerrero having to win this match to win the lady's heart but being too much of a face to physically beat her and thus finding himself in quite a quandary. Then again he is the patriarch of the Guerrero family so finding a creative way to win the match through Lying, cheating or stealing the win would make perfect sense her and make it so that we have a unique pairing of Gory & Aja going forward as a unit be it as Aja gets involved in the womens title chase or Guerrero looking for his own gold.

The announcers highlight that Guerrero clearly cut himself with a blade (Heenan even found the blade used) but as Monsoon says it matters not because officially this one goes in the record books as a win for Gory which means Aja has to go out with Senor Guerrero. They also point out that as the match result was announced Kong looked pissed but in subsequent replays she was clearly able to see the funnier side of it and actually smiles as she heads to the back.

-Backstage segment-

We then cut away to an interview filmed earlier today with Mexican legend El Santo

He says that usually he speaks in his native tongue but wanted this message to be heard by Sami Zayn. He actually repeatedly refers to him as Sami only once calling him El Generico as he delivers a very serious warning to his Canadian opponent about how in Mexico a wrestling mask is considered sacred and that Zayn is disrespecting his nations heritage every time he comes out and "plays dress up" but states that he will go to whatever lenght and do whatever is neccesary no matter what depths that takes him to, to ensure that tonight is the last time he ever has to hear the name "El Generico!"

Mask vs Mask match

El Santo vs El Generico

Backstory: After being traded to the promotion Sami Zayn arrived in the BWA to a great reaction from the fans, the same fans were surprised to see another person appear around the same time but also really got behind his arrival and that was El Generico. One person however who didn't seem to love the arrival of the luchador billed as being from Tijuana Mexico was El Santo. To be perfectly honest it is hard to blame him too as although none of it was intentional in subsequent weeks El Generico was to blame for him and his partners (Gory Guerrero) elimination from the royal rumble and a number of tag team match defeats. The fact that El Generico kept getting involved in their business and with such terrible results was too much for El Santo and he decided to call him out on it but much to everyones surprise it wasn't the Luchadore he called out but actually Sami Zayn and in doing so essentially outed him as the man behind the mask. And as we heard in his pre match interview El Santo believes that Zayn has disrespecting his nations heritage by "playing Lucha" and vowed to put an end to that tonight by facing him in a mask vs mask match where he will put an end to El Generico once and for all.

The Match: El Santo is out first and gets a good reaction but you can just see the anger, almost hatred in his eyes as El Generico makes his way out. Perhaps it does not help that the fans are actually cheering him more than they did the Mexican legend and sing his theme tune as he comes out. The match starts at a really fast pace and it is El Santo who has the advantage in the early going forgoing the typical luchadore style and instead focusing more on catching his opponent with numerous big rights and left hands. There is clearly a lot of power behind these and Heenan on commentary begins to wonder what State El Generico's face will be in when we see it later although Monsoon says he shouldn't rule out him making a comeback and El Santo being unmasked. However that seems less likely when El Santo first locks in an armbar where he looks like he will pull his opponents arm straight out of it's socket and then goes up top and hits a diving headbutt onto the shoulder of the same arm. he climbs up top and looks like he may go for a second diving headbutt but suddenly El Generico springs into action climbs the turnbickle and after a few chops tries to deliver a superplex to El Santo but he is fought off and then El Santo tries the same on him but gets the same lack of success this time as Generico hit him hard in the gut.

He then took advantage and all the bouts momentum as he wowed the crowd with his Brainbustaaaaahhhhh!!!!! (Super brainbuster onto the top turnbuckle) finishing maneuver. Obviously this dropped El Santo to the outside so unfortunately it wasn't finishing anything but moments later and Generico performed a suicide dive to the outside taking out El Santo just as he began to get back to his feet.

Unfortunately for Generico despite taking out El Santo he also landed with his shoulder taking the brunt of the impact, the same shoulder that Zayn had caught in his armbar earlier. As a result El Santo is actually the first one back to his feet and when Generico gets back up he tosses him shoulder first into the nearby ring steps. The Ref starts a 10 count as El Santo gets back in the ring but despite the fact that from this point onwards El Generico's arm looks it's dislocated he is able to get back into the ring with it hanging down by his side at the count of 8. He is also able to surprise El Santo and despite his injury avoid his immediate attack and instead catch him with a flying crossbody. He follows that up with several more impressive moves (really getting the crowd going) and then by Irish whipping him into the corner where he tries for his Helluva Olé Kick but at the last second El Santo moves out of the way leaving El Generico caught up on the turnbuckle.

El Santo quickly gets in behind him and one bridging belly to back suplex later and the ref makes a long 2 count. This also dropped El Generico on his injured shoulder and after kicking out he is seen to roll around calling out in agony, but he gets no sympathy from El Santo, the opposite in fact as he repeatedly stomps on his shoulder shouting at him in spanish as he does "se divierten ahora Sami" (Having fun now Sami). There is exploiting an injury and then there is going too far and El Santo has clearly wandered into the later catagory as he continues to attack the shoulder again and again and as a result the fans begin to boo the Mexican hero.

Heenan on the announce table who now seems to suddenly be pro El Santo points out how he has been in more than 35 Luchas de Apuestas matches with his mask on the line and that it doesn't look like tonight will be his first loss as Gory Guerrero El Santo's tag team partner comes running down to the ring and proceeds to plead with him to stop attacking El Genericos injury. For a moment it seems he listens to him but then he shakes his head and after one more huge foot stomp on the injured shoulder he locks the move Gory himself invented, The La de a Caballo (Camel clutch). El Generico refuses to tap for what seems an age but eventually due to the pain of his injury which was exasperated by the hold relents and taps.

Winner:

El Santo

Booking explanation: Sami obviously needs the mask a lot less than El Santo who after his display here has turned heel and the feud could perhaps continue but with a now altered dynamic with the hugely popular Zayn going up against the face no more Mexican legend and if he could get his win back against him it would set him up very nicely to move up the card.

After the result of the match is announced El Santo amidst a torrent of boos rips the mask straight off El Generico revealing (to nobody's surprise) Sami Zayn below. He then just marches away from the ring (mask in hand) and up the rampway leaving Zayn in pieces behind him. Guerrero tries to reach out to El Santo but he is just shaken off the the Lucha Legend who is in no mood for hanging around.

Bounty Hunter

Arn Anderson & Tully Blanchard (c) vs Jason Jordan & Chad Gable

Backstory: The corner stone of the Heenan family and one of the greatest tag teams of all time Arn Anderson & Tully Blanchard aka "The Brainbuster" have been unstoppable since they arrived in the company during the summer as surprise challengers in a match former champions Abdullah The Butcher & The Original Shiek had to win in order to keep their jobs. After banishing them from the federation Arn & Tully then set their sights on winning the tag titles which they did on the very first night of the draft season and the premiere episode of this season of BWA Raw against the Brisco brothers. Having won the titles due to Bobby Heenans interference they had a point ot prove at the Royal Rumble rematch and impressed the world by winning clean but it was also at the Rumble that they were introduced to the team that Daniel Bryan (who had been having his now well documented issues with the Heenan Family) tweeted would be coming for the champs. The team was BWA's developmental starlets and the super over Chad Gable and Jason Jordan aka American Alpha and they made their presence known almost immediately as they were directly responsible for the elimination of both Arn & Tully form the 2016 Royal Rumble match.

Bobby Heenan tried to run down and belittle this team claiming that they were not on The Brainbusters level but each and every week they upset the odds first whether it was defeating the former champions The Brisco brothers or the team specifically put together by Heenan to stop them in their tracks of Brock Lesnar & Rick Rude. These boys each and every week have overcome the odds to get to Wrestlepalooza and to get to this match can they do it once more to become the BWA World tag team champions? it's time to find out

The Match: Gable & Jordan are out first followed by the champions but it's American Alpha whom the fans go wild for, so much so that the announcers are genuinely surprised in particular with the response for Chad Gable who's name is chanted by the record crowd. This clearly p!sses off Arn Anderson who Heenan says will put him in his place tonight. As a result it is no surprise that The Brainbusters start very aggressively with Arn in particular striking Gable in a manner that one extremely loud member of the audience was heard to refer to as "oohh thats stiff as f"ck!" and as a result the Heenan's boys are on top as this match gets going. They tag in and out regularly and the announcers refer to the opening of this match as an education for American Alpha as despite their popularity and impressive performances in recent weeks they have never come up against a team as well oiled as The Brainbusters. They have isolated Gable and are slowly wearing him down to the point that when Tully Blanchard is tagged in and hits him with his signature Slingshot suplex off the top rope and onto the mat Blanchard is able to almost get a 3 count (Chad kicks out at the last moment).

Gable rolls to the outside after the pin and starts shaking his head, Jordan tries to motivate him but hings look bleak for the challengers but the fans support never wavers and they once again begin to chant his name as Bobby Heenan leaves the announce table and gets the ref to start counting Gable out. Jordan is clearly telling Gable to listen to the fans whose chants are now almost deafening and around the 7 mark in the refs count he rolls back into the ring clearly looking psyched up and ready to go again. Tully plans to kill that spirit dead as soon as he can however and charges Gable looking for a big clothesline but it's ducked as both men charge across the ring bounce off the ropes and head back for each other where it's the Olympian Gable who hits an impressive dropkick. Blanchard pops straight back up but also straight into a Judo throw...Has momentum changed it's address? It looks like it as the former horseman once again gets back up perhaps too quickly as he is immediately caught by Gable and his "Chaos Theory" (Waist-lock backward roll transitioned German suplex). At which point Jason Jordan tags in and the two combine for their "Grand Amplitude" Belly-to-back pop-up (Jordan) into a bridging high-angle belly-to-back suplex (Gable) after which Jordan makes the pin

.....1.....2......Arn Anderson Breaks up the pinfall! Gable was ready to stop the interference but Heenan from the outside grabbed his leg just long enough to stop that from happening. When Gable does break free though he begins to brawl with Anderson until Jordan gets back to his feet and grabs Arn (who is focused on Gable) and performs his Olympic Slam to him! He then rolls back to Tully and covers him again...1.....2....kickout!

After making the count the ref gets Chad Gable out of the ring while Heenan grabs Tully's leg and pulls the legal man from his team out of the ring to allow them to regroup. Something they get to do as a trio after the ref steps in and stops Jordan from attacking Anderson (pointing out he isn't the legal man and helping him to the outside). Then just like he did earlier for the challengers the referee starts a 10 count for the champions. They seem to have formulated a plan in time for Tully to re-enter the ring at 8 however. He stays in his corner and when Jordan comes to attack him Arn tags in from behind while Tully acts as if he is unaware and starts laying into Jordan. Jordan who has seen the tag was caught a little unawares by this allowing Blanchard to have the upper hand and after he connects with a good few hard punches he Irish whips Jordan into the waiting Arn Anderson who catches him with his Double A Spinning spinebuster. The ref goes to remove Tully but sees Arn go for the pin so instead counts while Blanchard is able to block Gable's path from interfering....1....2...Kickout!

Anderson looks a little annoyed but smiles as Heenan shouts out "Make him tap!" and locks in his figure four leg lock. He is pretty close to the corner but before Jason Jordan can even think about reaching for the ropes Heenan jumps up on the apron and slaps Blanchard on the back saying "Now" and Tully reaches down over the ropes and taps Anderson on the head tagging himself in. The ref sees this but directs his attention to Heenan ordering him to get off the apron while the Brain just points at Gable back in his corner screaming about him trying to interfere. While the ref is distracted Blanchard jumps over the ropes and comes down hard in a stomping motion on Jordans leg while he is still in the figure four. Seeing this Gable does indeed go to enter the ring to help his partner but the ref who has been directed towards him (by Heenan who now drops back down off the apron) holds him at bay. When the ref finally is able to focus back on the in ring action Tully has replaced Arn in the ring and has immediately locked in his own figure four leg lock. Jordan is able to reach the ropes and have the hold broken but the damage has evidently been done as Tully stands back and with a big smirk on his face watches as his opponent fails to be able to stand up such is the severity of the damage done to his leg.

Tully then tags in Arn (who immediately climbs to the top rope) before grabbing Jason Jordan who is trying to crawl to his corner and setting him up for a piledriver but when Anderson comes off the top rope it becomes their double team finisher the dredded Spike Piledrive! After which Arn makes the pin while his partner stops Gable from interfering.

Winner:

the Brain Busters

Booking Explanation: If D.Bryan is the underdog for the people to cheer for in the singles division Gable & Jordan are that in the tag division but the great underdogs don't over come adversary at the first time of trying they have to first fail so that the success that comes later can taste all the sweeter. This feud will be enough in itself to establish the developmental stars and new fan favorites while the win further establishes The Brainbusters as the number one team in the industry (They have only really held the belts for a month or so), a team that would be so highly thought of that if anyone including American Alpha does defeat them somewhere down the line it's be a big deal and speaking of American Alpha they can always blame Heenans involvement for the loss as they seek a rematch. This is also a big win and momentum booster for The Heenan Family which Bobby would no doubt talk up on commentary

After the match while Chad Gable helps Jason Jordan hobble up the ramp and into the back (the crowd cheer them as they go) Kyle Edwards enters the ring and interviews the champions and their manager Bobby Heenan about the match they just fought.

Anderson: I gotta give those two tough SOBs props they put up one hell of a fight tonight, but they were not as good or as smart as The Brain Busters!

Heenan: and no Arda, I mean Kyle... No there will be no rematch for those two!

Tully: Hey wait... do we have another match, did those Horsemen wannabees show some balls and accept our challenge

Heenan: I don't even know if that promotion has a TV deal to be honest lads but if you mean that guy that got sacked by WWE for being overweight and the guy whose name I can't even pronounce down in BCW I know they didn't show here tonight. Their scared of you boys!

Anderson: Tully, get Rick on the phone, tonight we party like only the best team in the best promotion in the world can but tomorrow were giving them a ratings bump!

When Heenan returns to the announce table Monsoon is all talk about about the BWA invading BCW tomorrow night but Heenan calms him down saying that he plans to talk to Arn & Tully later tonight and explain that that other promotion is below them but that first he wants to focus on the rest of tonights show before we head backstage once more.

-Backstage Segment-

Brock Lesnar is sat staring at a laptop screen muttering to himself "fighting for the little guy.....believes in himself...and we believe in Bryan...We Believe he can tame the Beast!" Just then an interviewer enters the room looking to get a few words from Brock about the main event tonight when Lesnar loses it and essentially tears the computer apart before smashing the half he still has in his hand (the screen) repeatedly on a nearby table. Immediately realizing his mistake the interviewer tries to exit the room but Brock grabs him

Brock: "You wanna know my thoughts on my match tonight, Huh is that it!? Maybe you wanna know if the ultimate underdog can slay this beast!? (He gets right up in the interviewers face as he asks this, and makes the poor man look like he is going to piss his pants)...People need to stop believing in fairytales... tonight that underdog...I'm putting him down!

2 on 1 handicap womens title match


Kharma vs Nikki (c) & Brie (The Bella Twins)

Backstory: It's well documented that the Bella Twins and Kharma had issues during their tenure in the WWE. The way those ladies treated a then pregnant Kharma was unforgivable and the fans wanted to see them pay for it...but as the years passed Nikki & Brie thought they had gotten away with everything despite Kharma's threat that she would one day return to get her vengeance. In fact they had even departed from that federation and become stars in the biggest promotion in the world the BWA where they had run the rule over the Womans divison even claiming responsibility for running Ronda Rousey out of town. Everything changed for them in one single moment however.... that moment was when Kharma made her shocking BWA return (she has been in the BWA a few times before) at the Royal Rumble and we soon found out that she was indeed coming for the Bellas and for what meant the most to them, Nikki's Womens title as a match had been booked for Wrestlepalooza where she would take on both ladies with the gold on the line and no number of phony apologies would stop that. Will Kharma get her vengence? will we have a new womens champion? or Will the numbers advantage be too much as Team Bella continue to reign supreme? find out now!

The Match: The challenger is out first and gets a great response from the BWA faithful as she steps foot in a BWA ring for the first time in many years. Then the champ and her sister Nikki & Brie Bella come out and despite them telling the crowd that they and not "that fatty" are who should be cheerd the crowd don't seem too pleased to see them. Kharma on the other hand is licking her lips as they enter the ring and immediately once the bell goes catches them both with a double clothesline. The sisters claim they aren't ready but the challenger doesn not look like she is going to wait around and once again starts advancing on them. Kharma may have the size advantage but they still have the numbers advantage and before she can grab them they both starts hitting her with repeated kicks wearing her down.

Eventually Kharma drops to a knee at which point the twins grab her and look to be going for a double suplex but uh oh Kong is too strong and reverses it suplexing both Bellas by herself! The crowd are loving this and that does not stop as Brie gets to her feet only to stumble into an Awesome bomb (Sitout powerbomb pin) but Nikki who is now back to her feet breaks up the pin. Still that means it is now 1on1 and Nikki realizes this as a p!ssed off Kharma gets back to her feet and advances on her so she rolls to the outside. Kharma follows her however and the champ is chased around the ring. Eventually she gets back into it just to get away from her chaser and when Kharma follows her Brie who is back on her feet by now is waiting and hits her with an impressive dropkick. The twins again go for a double team move at this time but waste now time with a Double team snap suplex as they take control of the bout.

The fans begin to boo as Brie puts Kharma into the Yes Lock and Nikki climbs onto the top turnbuckle and starts abusing the fans. Not a smart move though as the sheer size difference between Brie and Kharma and the fact that she does not apply the hold as well as her husband means that Kharma is able to power out of it, lift Brie up and then slam her on the Mat. Only after the slam does Nikki realize this but she does have time to get to Kharma and kick her in her gut before she could do anything. Then in a great show of strenght Nikki actually lifts her opponent up onto her shoulders after signalling she is going for her patented Rack Attack but... no, her legs buckle under the weight and she drops down leaving herself prone for attack and Kharma does not dissapoint delivering her devastating Implant Buster, Lifting double underhook facebuster. She then lines both Bellas up beside each other before climbing to the top rope and wowing everyone by going airborne and landing her Amazing Press (Diving Splash) on both Twins at the same time before making the pin. 1...2....3!

Winner:

Awesome Kharma

Booking Explanation: A simple case of the Bellas had it coming and like with Gorgeous George earlier in the night them getting their comeuppance after how they treated Kharma and showed no remorse would be a moment the fans would truely enjoy. No doubt we could have a rematch after this with the Bella's like in this match trying to use the numbers advantage to get the title back but we could also see Aja Kong coming into the mix against her old friend while The Bellas could manage their BWA male counterparts.

-Backstage Segment-

Backstage we see a reporter waiting outside a dressing room with the name "Ravishing Rick Rude" emblazoned across the door. Suddenly the door swings open and Rude comes strutting out. The reporter desperately tries to ask him questions but Rude informs him that he has "120,000 sweathogs awaiting" him so if that reporter wants to hear what he has to say then he should follow him out there. The reporter does run down the corridor after him but it seems this won't be a backstage segment afterall as we head back to ringside as The Ravishing One's music hits and he come out and makes his way down the extra long Wrestlepalooza ramp to a mixed reaction of cheers boos and cat calls. When he enters the ring Bobby Heenan is waiting for him and hands him a microphone.

Rude: I've been told you people travelled from all round the world to be here tonight, you made a pilgrimage just to see what a real man looks like. (A burst of boos, followed by a small *Muta Muta Muta* chant breaks out but it doesen't last long)... You boo me cos you wanna be me but if you sweathogs can put aside your jealousy for a moment and keep the noise down while I take my robe off and give the ladies a good look at the sexiest man alive that'd be much appreciated. (Heenan takes his robe for him)... Thank you Bobby and.. sorry Bobby, you see I don't think your going to like what I have to say next cos all those Ladies flashing away at me with more than just their cameras ain't just looking at the Sexiest man alive but the soon to be Sexiest Champion of all time. Daniel Bryan or (looks at Heenan) Brock Lesnar it matters not as after my match tonight your just the next name to lose to the perfection personified you see before you!

Bobby Heenan doesn't look too pleased but plays it off as just confidence from Rude when he returns to the commentary booth and says that anyone wrestling in a match like this one now should either believe they can beat the champ or just go home. The Great Muta is next out though and has a huge elaborate Wrestlepalooza style entrance which sees a whole host of Great Mutas from down the years on stage and a symphany orchestra play his entrance theme as he emerges dressed in his most gruesome get up to date.

No.1 contender Match
Rick Rude vs The Great Muta

Backstory: Rick Rude was not too pleased when he debuted to boos on the first BWA Raw of the new draft season a fact compounded when the fans where so enthusiastic about the debut of The Great Muta the following week. determined to prove the BWA universe wrong Rude then put in a hugely impressive display at the Royal Rumble going all the way from number 1 to the very end of the match. He even argued with the promotions board of directors that the Rumble was an antiquated concept and that he should be the no.1 contender for the world title at Wrestlepalooza and not someone (Rumble Winner Daniel Bryan) who spent less than 10% of the time he did in the match. The only problem with this arguement however was that Rude was not the only one to have spent so long in the Rumble as no.2 to enter the match Keiji Mutoh also lasted all the way to the end and as a result the board booked a no.1 contenders match between the two for wrestlepalooza.

This wasn't enough for Rude though and he continued to complain about the match in his promos and one promo in particular he went a little too far using racial slurs to refer to Mutoh and likening him to wrestlers in rundown promotions like MNG. Unfortunately for Rude in doing so he awoke a monster within The Japanese legend, a monster named The Great Muta. The Great Muta will go to lenghts that Keiji Mutoh would not so as to become victorious and being victorious now means becoming the no.1 contender at Wrestlepalooza. Can Rude overcome this monster or will the BWA for the first time see the true power of The Great Muta...find out now!

The Match - When Muta finally enters the ring and the bell rings he goes face to face with Rude and catches his opponent off guard by immediately spraying green mist into Rude's face and then hitting a dragon suplex. Heenan is incensed shouting at Monsoon who had earlier described Muta as being an honorable fighter although Gorilla retorts by pointing out that he was talking about Keiji Mutoh and that when he is pushed into being "The Great Muta" he is a much darker persona who is willing to do whatever it takes to get the job done. Thanks to these tactics Muta has the advantage early on here (but the fans still support and chant for him). He doesen't however have all the offense early on as Rude for example does execute an impressive Belly to back suplex and does get a figure four leg lock on Muta at one point but the Japanese star is able to force the break and soon after he is able to get back on top.

This occurs after Rude delivers a Delayed backbreaker to Muta and then goes to the top rope signalling that a diving fist drop is coming but Muta springs to life and follows him up the turnbuckle fighting him as he goes before hitting a frankensteiner off the top rope. He doesn't stop there though and instead immediately climbs back up to the top rope and follows it up by performing a Moonsault onto Rude and going for the pin...1...2...Kickout!
Muta is on a roll here and as Rude tries to get back to his feet he actually catches him with his shinning wizard finisher!

Perhaps that could have been enough for the win but Rude smartly rolls to the outside after the impact and takes a moment to adjust himself, he looks really shaken up but also annoyed with himself as this match really has not been going his way thus far and perhaps the frustration is getting the best of him as he starts looking under the ring for something to use. Back in the ring Muta sees this and apparently decides that he is not going to wait around for Rude to gain an unfair advantage and signals that he is going for a suicide dive to the outside before bouncing against the ropes on the far side to gain momentum. Heenan screams at his man (Rude) to warn him about the impending danger and then at the last moment as Muta comes flying through the top and middle ropes Rude lifts a chair up into his path. Monsoon once again shows his frustration calling his announce partner and Rude cheats but Heenan just points out that Rude didn't hit him with the chair the guy jumped head first into it.

Muta seems dazed and a bit confused but the two continue to brawl on the outside but now Rude is able to gain an advantage and his signature DDT on the outside definitely helps to achieve that especially seeing as the chair from earlier is where Muta's head lands. At this point the ref orders that the chair be removed from ringside but Rude ignores him while grabbing Muta up and placing his head on top of the ring steps. Then when the referee threatens to disqualify him if he does not hand it over and get back in the ring Bobby Heenan scurries over and grabs the chair before going round to the other side of the ring while The Ravishing one surprisingly seems to actually listen to the ref and re-enters the ring. The referee is about to start a 10 count on Muta when Heenan jumps up on the apron with the chair in hand on the opposite side of the ring taking his attention over there.

The moment the distraction occurs Rick Rude leapfrogs over the ringropes landing hard on and driving his foot into the back of Muta's head (which is still placed on the steel steps). He then throws Muta back into the ring and re-enters himself as Heenan drops off the apron and throws away the chair ending the distraction. Rude then slowly lifts Muta up (showing the world his now shattered mask) and delivers his Rude Awakening (Delayed hangman's neckbreaker) before making the pinfall, 1...2....3!

Winner and new No.1 contender:

"Ravishing" Rick Rude

Booking Explanation: This is a match I thought could have gone either way but giving Rude the win achieves a few things booking wise. It continues the Heenan Families momentum on the night and in doing so sets up the potential for a Heenan Family whitewash on the event and that if in the main event Brock were to retain the Rick Rude vs Brock Lesnar Family Feud that has been mentioned in recent weeks could happen. Meanwhile if Brock were to lose and drop the title we would have a face vs heel dynamic set up with Bryan vs Rude

After the match when Heenan returns to commentary where Monsoon grabs him and tells him that that's the second match he has influenced the result of so far and that if he dares get involved in tonight's main event like that he will have him to answer to (while shaking his fist at him). This doesn't dampen Heenan's positivity however and he states that Brock can "beat that goat" without his help anyway.

-Backstage Segment-

We head to the BWA lockeroom where Josh Matthews is standing by with Jason Jordan & Chad Gable

Josh: Firstly I want to offer my commiserations to you about what happened in your match earlier tonight when you came up just a little short against The Heenan Family members "Arn Anderson & Tully Blanchard" for the tag titles...(they appreciate this)... Do you think Daniel Bryan can avoid this same fate when he faces off against another Heenan associate and the World Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar?

Gable: I've heard a lot of people debating this, because believe me Brock is one of the greatest of all time, the guy literally is a Beast but he can be beaten.

Jordan: Bobby Heenan will remind you at every turn that size matters in this bout... but so does heart, and Bryan has the biggest heart in the world and tonight there will be 120,000 fans out there all chanting his name and deep down in the pit of my heart I believe they won't be dissapointed... (he looks at Gable) Will Daniel Bryan win tonight?

Gable: Yes, Yes, (the crowd can be heard to join in) Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes

World Heavyweight Title Match


Brock Lesnar (c) vs Daniel Bryan

Backstory: The most beloved man in BWA history Daniel Bryan has done it all in this industry. From wrestling in front of a handful of people in small dirty gyms to headlining Wrestlepalooza (before he ever headlined Wrestlemania) a few years back and winning his first World Title against HHH. Unfortunately his incredible journey which is highlighted below has come at a cost.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rsX1ATcyQxU

Bryan unfortunately picked up so many injuries throughout the years that The BWA doctors were refusing to allow Bryan to compete any longer for his own well being. Bryan had fought against this but seemingly on the first Raw of a new draft year was willing to accept his fate and announce his retirement from wrestling until Brock Lesnar made his presence known. The Beast who later that night joined forces with The Heenan family and essentially stole the BWA title ruined Bryan's moment and then when Daniel refused to back down performed a heinous attack the likes of which the BWA audience had never seen before and just like that it seemed The leader of the Yes movements career was over!

A few weeks later at The Royal Rumble Brock Lesnar silenced the outspoken opposition to his reign (in the form of Gorilla Monsoon) and booked his place in the main event of Wrestlepalooza VI which we had only recently learned would be in front of a record crowd of 120,000. Then in the main event his opponent was decided when Daniel Bryan shocked the world making his return as no.20 and going on to win the match for the first time in his career. Heenan and co. argued the legitimacy of this win but (Bryan was eventually cleared to wrestle and) the main event of the biggest show of the year was set, a main event that the world has been waiting years for in which both men will square off against each other for the first time ever. In the weeks that followed both sides played mind games with each other in a game of one-upmanship which included The Heenan families intimidation of Bryan's wife Brie Bella but that just added feul to the fire (as if it was needed) and now it's time to sit back and enjoy one hell of a main event as The Ultimate underdog Daniel Bryan takes on the The Beast Incarnate and BWA champion Brock Lesnar.

The Match

Bryan is out first and the yes movement is out in force tonight chanting along with him as he YESes his way to the ring, that is until the champ emerges and hushes the crowd as he makes his way down to the squared circle for tonight's main event. The two go face to face in the center of the ring as the ever honorable Bryan offers his hand to Lesnar. Instead of shaking it however Brock just looks at it and laughs before clearly saying to Bryan "Welcome to Suplex City...B!tch" and then turning his back on the challenger to head back to his corner as the bell sounds. Bryan too had turned to head back to his corner when the bell rang but unfortunately for him it was the champ who reacted quickest to this happening immediately turning and attacking Bryan from behind knocking him into the corner. He followed this up with several shoulder thrusts into the turnbuckle and right from the off The Beast was in control.

It is in fact at this point that Bryan was truly welcomed to Suplex city with Mayor Lesnar hitting him with multiple German suplexes. The crowd actually count along as Brock hits them but when Brock gets to three and does not release after the third instead attempting a fourth Bryan wriggles free and then stops Lesnar in his tracks with a Pele kick dropping him to a knee where Bryan hits him with several shoot kicks before finally a roundhouse kick kncks the big man to the mat.

Daniel Bryan now clearly feeding off the crowd locks in his "Yes Lock" on Brock and tries to make the Beast tap and it seems a real possibility as they are right in the center of the ring and no matter how much he tries Lesnar just cannot reach the ropes. He eventually avoids tapping by in a show of amazing strength he is able to slowly get to his feet and despite Bryan still having his submission locked in, he essentially lifts Bryan who is still in the crossface position into the air before suddenly slamming the challenger down hard onto the mat where he eventually releases the hold. Lesnar does not hang about however and reaffirms his position in command of this bout by locking in his own submission hold on Bryan , The Kimura Lock. This time it's Bryan's turn to struggle as The leader of the YES movement looks close to tapping but he is instead just about able to reach the ropes. Despite this Lesnar refuses to release the hold as the announcers scream that he is going to break Bryan's arm but after a 5 count he reluctantly lets go of Bryan, who immediately rolls to the outside.

Brock follows him but is caught off guard by another series of kicks from Bryan but before The American Dragon can move into the ascendancy a swift knee strike to his midsection sees Lesnar back in control a fact driven home as Brock drives Bryan into the steel ring steps. Bryan isn't given a moment to recuperate as The Beast grabs him and hits him with what looks like a running powerbomb up against the ringpost. Then in a move similar to his battle with Gorilla Monsoon (who now reminds Heenan that if he tries to interfere both of them will be fighting for the 2nd time tonight) Brock starts tearing up the protective mat revealing the unforgiving concrete floor at ringside. The champ tries to set Bryan up for another Powerbomb (a regular one this time) onto the concrete, he gets him up but right as he goes to bring him down Bryan reverses it into a tornado DDT. After Brock's head connects with the ground he looks out of it and has clearly been busted wide open. As blood begins to flow Bryan lifts him up and tosses him into the ring. He climbs in himself then and makes a pinfall. 1 , 2...kickout!

almost immediately Brock gets back to his knees leaving Bryan shaking his head in disbelief... how can he stop The Beast who is now looking at the blood he just wiped off his face and laughing maniacally ? His answer is to try for a running knee but Brock pops back up to his feet before Bryan gets to him and catches the challenger with a huge spinebuster. Then while Bryan is getting back to his feet Lesnar grabs him from behind and hits a German suplex which he follows up with another and then a 3rd at which point the ref starts to make a 10 count. Bryan however is back to his feet around the 7 mark but immediately Brock delivers his 7th German suplex of the night before shouting at him "STAY DOWN!". The crowd are chanting his name however and Daniel Bryan defiantly gets up just before nine and then much to their amazement (and a huge reaction) he waves Brock towards him almost saying is that all you've got to him. Sadly for him no it isn't and Brock hits a hellacious clothesline making Bryan completely flip over before he grabs the fan favorite and delivers a devastating F5!

Brock screams at the crowd and a stunned silence comes over the arena as Brock again starts laughing before going for the pin. 1.....2.....Kickout! how in gods name is Bryan able to kickout ? ponders Heenan while Monsoon points out that Brock took too long making the cover. Brock looks incensed
and sets himself up for what Heenan states will be the final F5 and the one to put the exclamation point on an epic title defense. He reaches down to lift up Bryan but when he does Bryan grabs his arm and rolls him up in a small package...1....2....Kickout!

Now it's Brock who is in shock as he rolls over to the corner and looks at Bryan in disbelief wondering how he is not only still in this but just almost won the match, his surprise grows further as Bryan rises to his feet before him and the "Daniel Bryan" chants once again start up. Lesnar once again charges at him with a big clothesline but Bryan is able to duck below it at the last moment and then when Lesnar turns around to face him again Bryan catches him not one or two but several European uppercuts the last of which sees Brock teetering on the top rope at which point Bryan slingshots himself off the ring ropes and hits a dropkick knocking Lesnar over and to the outside. The crowd are going wild after this superman level comeback by Bryan but he isn't finished yet and instead once again uses the ropes for momentum before performing a suicide dive to the outside taking out the champ as he tried to get back to his feet.

Bryan tries to not lose any of his momentum and throws Brock straight back into the ring before rolling inside himself. Unfortunately despite his valiant comeback Brock has not received half as much punishment as Bryan so far and when Bryan does re-enter the ring Brock is already waiting for him and after another knee to his mid-section he hoists the challenger up and delivers his 2nd F5 of the night. Heenan is shouting at Brock telling him not to waste too much time before the pin again but Monsoon points out that he doesn't think Brock is planning to go for a pin at all and is instead plotting his next move as he eyes up the turnbuckle. Moments later and The Beast is climbing up to the top rope much to everyone in the arenas surprise. The big man steadies himself and then performs an amazing shooting star press! At the last second however Bryan gets his knees up!!

Brock is rolling around holding his stomach in pain as Bryan just barely gets to his feet. He is in the corner holding the ropes to keep himself up but you can see the belief in his eyes as he starts YESing (and the crowd YES along with him) as Brock rises to a knee still trying to get his breath back and... BOOM! Bryan hits his running knee. "Make the pin dammit" screams Monsoon and no doubt every fan watching at home but instead Bryan locks in his yes Lock. The Beast is clearly struggling and Heenan runs to try and enter the ring to interfere but Monsoon stops him. Brock tries to reach out for the ropes but they are too far from him. He then tries to power his way out of the hold like earlier in the match but he no longer has the energy after the beating he has taken and Bryan keeps the hold locked in. The Beast lets out a loud scream (now having been held in this position for over a minute while blood trickles down his face after his cut was re-opened by the running knee) and then eventually gives up and taps!

There is stunned silence for a second and then the place erupts into celebration as the beast has been conquered and a new champion crowned!

Winner:

Daniel Bryan!

Booking Explanation: Sending the fans home happy with a true Wrestlepalooza moment where the hero overcomes the beast. This is the draft so story line aside I have Bryan in his peak condition which despite the beating he took here is handy as now there would be a number of big matches on the horizon for him including vs the new no.1 contender Rick Rude or the inevitable rematch down the road (Summerslam maybe) vs Brock. No doubt the loss and Rude becoming no.1 contender would also create a storyline where there is much tension in the Heenan family between those two and we would most likely get a feud there eventually when one of them turns face. Much like with Kharma & Patterson earlier Bryan kinda had to get his payback here, you can't have people do what Lesnar and co did to him without getting their just desserts and Wrestlepalooza in front of 120,000 fans is where you do it.

Brock Lesnar
Daniel Bryan
Rick Rude
The Great Muta
Sami Zayn
Takeshi Morishima
Pat Patterson
Gorgeous George
Killer Kowalski

The Show goes off the air with the iconic image of Bryan celebrating his win, joined by friends (like Gable, Jordan, Morishima) and Family (Brie) as the crowd chant a mix of his name and YES YES YES as Gorilla Monsoon (Heenan isn't in the mood) thanks you for joining us on this monumental moment for the BWA and points out how much we appreciate you reading all of this.

See you all for the 2017 Draft!

Cheese Wagstaff

A zoomed out shot of Madison Square Garden comes into focus. The camera cuts to the hallway leading to the dressing rooms, as the figure of Seth Rollins is strutting into the building. Visibly pleased with himself, he makes himself known to everybody he passes on the way. All of a sudden, he is blindsided by a scream, and as he turns he is jumped by a noticeably enraged Ricky Steamboat. The crowd goes wild as he pummels away at Rollins who is on the ground, while Seth can only just put his hands up to defend himself.

Steamboat: AAAAAGGGGGGGGGH! I’M GONNA KILL YOU, YOU SON OF A BITCH!

Everybody just watches while Ricky beats on Seth, however soon the figure of John Laurinaitis appears, as he directs various superstars to restrain the two.

Johnny Ace: ALRIGHT, ENOUGH! I understand that you two have unfinished business, especially after last week, but as far as I am concerned the dye has now been cast! You two will face off at Cheddarama, and for the sake of this company that is the only time I can let you two meet. I can’t have my show being thrown into chaos because of you! Seth, I have plans for you this evening, so Ricky I advise that you take tonight off.

The crowd boos as their relative hometown boy Steamboat is restrained by four superstars (Swann, Sharpe, Gunn & Collins), as a limousine shows up in the background. They drag him kicking and screaming towards the car, and place him in the back. The car drives off, as Laurinaitis advises Seth to go and get himself together. He murmurs a sigh of relief as things quieten down once more.

Johnny: Finally, now we can get back to normality…

Porallo: Good evening ladies & gentlemen, we’re here live from the city so nice they named it twice….NEW YORK CITY!

Mortell: Damn right, the hometown of none other than Ricky Steamboat! I’m sure he would have received a huge ovation, had he not been unceremoniously escorted out of the building by our general manager!

Porallo: As much as we don’t like it, Laurinaitis’ rationale was sound, he wants to take no chances with our huge main event at Cheddarama, which will be taking place in just a couple of day's time!

Burke: He was right to do it! You can’t just go around manhandling our talent like that! Ricky should know better than that, A LOT BETTER THAN THAT!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a-bd5j18N0s

Peter Morton & Carl Collins can be seen making their way down the ramp. While they wave and gesture very animatedly to the crowd, the crowd respond with boos and jeers.

Morton: Good evening everybody, my name is Peter Morton, and I am…THE GREATEST…HCE TELEVISION CHAMPION OF ALL TIME!

Crowd boos wildly.

Morton: Oh shut the hell up, you folks wouldn’t know greatness if it bit you in your high-rise asses! Now without further ado, let’s get the Peter Morton Putting Challenge underway! Who’s it gonna be Carl???

Carl points out that none of the golfing paraphernalia is in place in the ring, prompting Morton to start exclaiming loudly on the mic. At this point, John Laurinaitis appears on the ramp.

Johnny Ace: Now hold up there a second Pete. These folks I’m sure came to see a HCE TV Title Open Challenge, not some hokey putting extravaganza! Which is why, I can confirm, that we will be going back to normal tonight, with a good old fashioned TV TITLE OPEN CHALLENGE!

The crowd cheers loudly for this, excited at seeing a title match.

Johnny: Now, we’ll need to find you a suitable opponent. Somebody who is well decorated. Somebody who is beloved in their home country. Somebody who has travelled the world. I think I have just the guy…YOUR OPPONENT TONIGHT WILL BE…

Crowd braces themselves expectantly, while Morton looks annoyed and exasperated.

Johnny Ace: (with a laugh)….CARL COLLINS!!!! HAHAHAHAHA!

The crowd is a mix of shocked and excited, as this was clearly not the name they were expecting to be announced. From afar, Morton and Johnny share a nod and a wink with one another, as Carl gets ready to square off. A referee appears, and raises the title aloft in the air, to signal that the match is under way.

Porallo: Something doesn’t seem right about this to me…

Burke: Morton is a fighting champion, he needs to test himself against the best! And who better than his right hand man Carl?!?!?? It’s a perfect decision by our general manager.

Television Championship – Peter Morton v Carl Collins

The bell rings, and Morton and Collins start circling each other, with each one trying to get the upper hand. Suddenly Morton lashes out unexpectedly and wildly with a right hand that is clear to everyone just grazes Collins’ cheek. However, it sends him straight to the mat.

Burke: Wow! What a haymaker from Morton! That’s why this guy is the best!

Mortell: Oh please, it was clear as day that he didn’t even touch him. He’s just falling in line like the spineless rat that he is!

Morton gives a wry smile to everybody in the crowd, as he covers Collins slowly, like he is weary from a hard battle. The referee is a little uncertain, but drops to the mat to count the 1….2…..3.

Winner

AND STILL HCE TELEVISION CHAMPION…Peter Morton

Morton celebrates with the title in his arms, as he falls to his knees, like he has been through a war to retain it. Collins then gets straight up unharmed, and celebrates with Morton as they hug each other. The crowd begins to boo incessantly!

Porallo: Oh come on, what a load of crap! It was a set up from the very beginning!

Burke: Hardly! He obviously struck Carl to merely stun him, they’re friends! He’s not going to try to hurt him!

Morton: So once again, I stand tall as your television champion! It is getting boring really, defending it against everyone.

Porallo: Everyone?!? That was his first defence! And he didn’t even d…

Burke: You’re only as good as your last fight, and he’s a champion!


Collins: You’ve shown true American steel Pete, nobody can touch you! You are truly…the embodiment of eminence, the example of excellence…the effigy of entertainment…

Morton: Too kind Carl, too kind! I think in light of this momentous victory, it is only fair that we leave this humdrum town, and take some time off. Let the other losers slug it out for worthless prizes at Cheddarama, it is very much time for us to kick back and relax!

The crowd boos, while Morton and Collins cup their hands to their ears, basking in their loathing.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=30ccnlZP3D4

The crowd comes to life as Roderick Strong’s music plays on the Titantron. Morton & Collins look towards the ramp ready to fend him off, however he appears behind them to a loud cheer from the audience.

Mortell: By god, Strong is back!!! And just in time too!

Strong ducks a clothesline attempt from Collins, and makes a beeline for Morton, who scurries under the bottom rope and hightails it up the ramp, the crowd still booing. Strong turns around and strikes Collins with a right hand, before dropping him to the mat with CX ’03. He picks up a mic and looks towards the ramp at Morton.

Strong: Well, well, well. It sure looks like you’ve been doing a good job of disrespecting everybody since you got here…PETE. I’m going to keep this short and sweet. I’m back after your sneak attack, I have a rematch clause, and I’m gonna use it. Chedddarama, me vs you. TV Title on the line. You’d better be ready to fight, because I sure as hell am!

Strong drops the mic, and jumps up onto the turnbuckle to an ovation from the fans. He engages them all, embracing their cheers. Collins has rolled out of the ring at this point, while Morton is fuming that he now has to fight at Cheddarama. He curses as he walks behind the curtain.

John Laurinaitis is in his office. Opposite his desk are both Bart Gunn & Xavier Woods. While Gunn is bullish, Woods looks to still be feeling the effects of the attack at the hands of Seth Rollins the previous week.

Johnny Ace: He made you both look like idiots last week! I can’t have that as being normal from my esteemed security and psychology team!

Woods: We know boss, well…’I know.’

Gunn: What are you trying to imply, you little pipsqueak? That I’m not as smart as you? That I have no idea as to what to do in comparison to you? (grabbing Woods by the throat) IS THAT WHAT YOU’RE TRYING TO TELL ME, TOUGH GUY?

Woods: (trying to wriggle free) No no no! You’re perfectly capable mentally! In my psychological capacity, I reckon you’re perfectly (breaks free from Gunn’s grasp and starts dusting himself down while whispering)…insane.

Johnny: God guys, why are you two always at each other?!? We’re a team! Anyway, I need you to two to save face and avenge yourselves. Because the two of you are teaming up to take on Seth Rollins tonight…in a handicap match.

Gunn and Woods look at each other with some mild uncertainty, however they both agree that they will exact revenge for their boss tonight, and that Seth Rollins will pay for what he did last week. As Bart leaves to prepare himself, Xavier advises that he has an important meeting to research for later. Johnny Ace rolls his eyes to heaven and takes a look at the dented Crystal Case behind his desk, wondering how everything could have gone so wrong.

Mike Sharpe is pirouetting down the hall, once again humming another classic rock anthem. He’s in such a zone, that he doesn’t notice D’Lo Brown & The Godfather trying to pour coffee at a vending machine. As he gets really into the chorus of ‘Slow Ride’, he inadvertently knocks into the Godfather, with coffee going everywhere…

Sharpe: SLOOOOOOOW RIIIIIIIDEEEE! TAAAKEEE IT EASSSSSYYYYYY!

Godfather: Hey homeboy, you’d better watch yourself!!!! (he drops the empty coffee cup and grabs Sharpe by the neck)

D’Lo: Yeah, watch yourself! We are not two boys that you want to be messing with, ya feel me?

Sharpe: Why….I…I….

Godfather: Well spit it out!

Sharpe: Well of course not fellas, I mean…it’s not like you two have been pulling up any trees recently either!

D’Lo: Oh, you gone and done it now!

The two start to move in on Mike, when Mark Henry appears.



Henry: Hey hey hey! What’s goin’ on here?

Godfather: Stay out of it man! This is none of your business!

Henry: Well now, Mikey here may not be the smartest man that ever lived, but he’s an honest one. He wouldn’t try to do bad by anybody, I think we all know that. And if we don’t, then maybe they’ll have to be shown that the hard way.

D’Lo: Are you threatening us?

Henry: It sure sounds like it. So rather than teaming up on a man a seventh of your size, how’s about you two take on the two of us in a good old fashioned tag team battle TONIGHT?!?

Godfather: (dropping Sharpe onto the pool of spilled coffee) You’re on. It’ll be the biggest mistake you two will have ever made, even bigger than that disgraceful hand you call a son!

They walk off angrily. Mark meanwhile picks up Sharpe and reassures him that things will be okay, and to prepare, because they have a match coming up soon.

Jay Lethal is in the dressing room with Antonio Inoki & Tatsumi Fujinami. The shot of them elicits a huge reaction from the crowd, who are thrilled to see the fan favourites.







Lethal: I sure am glad that you guys are riding with me tonight against Buddy and his no good assortment of knock off sidekicks! Tonight is going to be a great night, we’ll get the victory we truly deserve, putting me in line for the INTERCONTINENTAAAAAALLL CHAMPIOOOONSHIP, and giving you two some vital momentum before you prise those tag titles from those Kim Kardashian wannabes MNM! OOOOOH YEAAAAHHHH!

Inoki: But…Jay…what if, no other partner?

Lethal: Don’t you worry about a thing my man! I have no doubt that when people see the three of us lined up, they’ll be queuing up to give these no good beatniks the beatin’ of a lifetime…..WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

As the three laugh and joke among each other, the camera cuts to a different dressing room, where Buddy Rogers and his crew are also prepping themselves for the same match.


Buddy: I DO NOT…want anybody performing at less than 100% tonight. We all know what’s at stake here, the safety of my intercontinental title. And if you three are not able to hold up your end, then there will be consequences. Jay Lethal, running his mouth, making out that I am no Ric Flair. Who does he think he is? I made Ric Flair who he is today! I am the original Nature Boy, the greatest wrestling champion of all time! And because I will stop at nothing, that means that you three cannot stop at nothing! DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR?!?!?

Terkay: Absolutely.

Swann: Sure thing Skip.

Benjamin: I guess.

Buddy moves in towards Shelton.

Buddy: You guess? YOU GUESS? Over the past few weeks, you have been nothing but insubordinate, and a pain in the side of this group. You are being afforded an opportunity to be a part of a special group. Together, we are changing the landscape of HCE. And I don’t think that you respect how significant I am in all of this. I am going to repeat myself one more time…DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR?

Benjamin: Yeah…

Buddy is incensed, and slaps Shelton with authority. The slap reverberates around the dressing room. He’s all up in his face, and is practically yelling at this point.

Buddy: DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR!!!!!!?!?!?!?!?!??!

Benjamin:Yes…boss.

Buddy: Do not ever, ever…make me repeat myself again.

Buddy walks off camera, while Terkay and Swann just stare at each other before leaving with him also. Shelton is left to ponder what has just transpired.

Porallo: We are back live, and we have some great matches coming up. Right now we have a tag team affair, and boys…Mike Sharpe really managed to rub D’Lo and The Godfather up the wrong way!

Mortell: He sure did Eric, and only for Mark Henry arriving on the scene, I really don’t think things were looking good for Iron Mike!

Burke: He may be the World’s Strongest Man, but he seems pretty weak in the cranium department if he starts choosing battles like these!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZbsxTbxIjCQ

Porallo: Now what the hell does this guy want?!?

Sean O’Haire strolls down the ramp to boos from the audience. He walks towards the commentators’ desk, picks up a headset and sits down beside Elijah Burke.

Burke:Sean, my man! How’s it hangin?

O’Haire: Things are wonderful Burke, just great! I said I’d pay you guys a visit, and offer my expertise for this upcoming match.

Burke: That’s great man, too kind! Isn’t he kind guys?

Porallo: Oh yeah! He’s kind alright.

O’Haire: I’m sensing a bit of hostility from the table, hahaha!

Burke: Don’t listen to him, he just has piles again!

D’Lo & The Godfather walk out, and they are noticeably different in their approach. They have a measured look about them, and they are less focused on the fans. This is evident in the fan reaction, which is less boisterous than the previous weeks. Mike Sharpe comes out to a raucous applause, as he high fives and cheers along with the fans at ringside.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJ0dfAREvAc

Mark Henry comes out with a similar intense look on his face. Eyeballing D’Lo & The Godfather, he doesn’t divert his gaze from them as he gets into the ring.

O’Haire: Boy, Mark looks as if he means business tonight! I reckon my talk with him a few weeks back went down a treat!

Mortell: Oh where you just insulted him is it?

O’Haire: Oh come on Stan, you know it was a lot more constructive than that. There’s a guy who should be dominating everyone in his path, and he was losing? I’ve gotten him back on the right path. I’m not tell you anything, that you didn’t already know!

Burke: That’s my boy! He’s making everyone better Stan, one day at a time!

Mortell: Yeah…well I’ll believe it when I see it!

The two teams face off, with Sharpe ahead of Mark, ready to start the match up against D’Lo. Sharpe adopts the ready position, as he inches closer in an attempt to lock up. Suddenly…

…Mark Henry clubs Sharpe from behind and starts beating him senseless!

Porallo: Another setup all along! Why on earth is this surprising?!?

Mortell: They were in cahoots the whole time, and poor Mike never suspected a thing!

Mark throws Sharpe around like a ragdoll, brutalising him in the corner with some sharp right hands. Eventually he throws him on the ground, and splashes him. He then lifts him up for a World’s Strongest Slam and plants him into the canvas. As he gets out of the ring, he can be heard shouting “THAT’S WHAT I DO! NOBODY MAKES A FOOL OF ME.”
Meanwhile, D’Lo pressures the ref to ring the bell, in order to signal the start of the match. When the bell rings, D’Lo puts his foot on Sharpe to cover, for the 1…2….3.

Winners:

The Godfather & D’Lo Brown

Porallo: What a classy route these guys have decided to go down. And to make matters worse, they’re now beating on poor Mike! Again, he’s defenceless!

O’Haire Whoa whoa whoa! That’s too much, I gotta put a stop to this!

Burke: What?!? Are you crazy?!?

O’Haire gets out of his chair and enters the ring with purpose. He pulls D’Lo & Godfather away from Sharpe, and can be seen talking to them. They depart the ring and amble back up the ramp silently. O’Haire can then be seen comforting Sharpe, and helping him out of the ring. The fans applaud as this occurs.

Mortell:….maybe we misjudged him? Maybe he’s not so bad?

Porallo: I dunno Stan, I think there has to be an ulterior motive at play. Sean O’Haire isn’t exactly the kind of guy who does things for somebody else’s benefit.

Burke: I can’t believe my eyes.

Back in Johnny Ace’s office, Bart & Woods are almost ready to go out for their handicap match. Just as they arrive, a badly beaten Mike Sharpe & Sean O’Haire are leaving having just successfully gotten a match made for Cheddarama, where they will take on the team of Mark Henry, D’Lo Brown & The Godfather.

Johnny: Okay guys, it’s time to remember who we are and what we represent! How was the meeting Woods?

Woods: Oh it was great, real great. We must talk about that later at some stage. All I know now is that I am feeling good, and Seth Rollins had better watch out. The pain is coming.

Gunn: (laughing heartily) Hahaha…easy there Rocky Balboa. You just stay out of my way, and I’ll make sure that Seth isn’t putting his foot on anyone’s neck for a very long time.

Woods: (looking taken aback) Hey, I have skills too you know!

Gunn: Yeah…ones that aren’t much use in this line of work!

Johnny: Enough, enough! It’s time to get out there and do me proud!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0R2XZRrZDFo

Porallo: With hostilities like that, I wonder is Seth better off being on his own? It doesn’t really look like John Laurinaitis’ boys will be able to co-exist!

Burke: I’m sure they’re just playing around! Once it gets down to business, they’ll have no problems teaming up!

While this is going on, Seth enters to a good ovation from the crowd. Again, while reactions are mixed, it is noticeable that he is popular with the fans and does make them take notice. It is then that Bart and Xavier come out, to a lesser reaction of mostly boos.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KjQ7NOzTC7I

Bart and Woods argue over who gets to start first. Eventually Bart stays in the ring as Woods goes to the outside. The match begins by Bart and Seth locking up, but this deteriorates quickly due to the superior brawling style of Bart. He unleashes a flurry of punches onto Seth who puts up his hands initially to defend himself from the onslaught. Eventually, he clutches the ropes, getting the referee to break the hold.

While the hold is broken, Seth hits Gunn with a quick kick, knocking him to the ground. He stays on top of him, hitting him with some low down punches of his own. He follows this up with a stiff dropkick, which gets the audience going.

Burke: Entertaining to a fault, Rollins is sure aiming to please these fans whether they appreciate it or not!

Seth takes Bart outside the ring and throws him into the ringpost. However, a distraction by Woods causes him to delay, leaving him open to a wicked clothesline by Gunn, which swings the advantage back to Laurinaitis’ boys. Gunn then tags in Woods, who throws a multitude of gut punches at Seth, determined to make him feel the pain he felt last week. He brings him into the middle of the ring and hits a high end back drop and covering immediately for a 1….2…kickout!

Woods again keeps working the back of Seth, and quick tags with Gunn ensures that they both stay relatively fresh. Their good contrasting styles, of Gunn’s brawling and Woods’ more technical/fast paced style makes sure that Seth is being drained quickly. Gunn lifts Seth up, and hits him with a wicked Sidewalk Slam, covering again only to get a 2 count. They visibly look upset now that they cannot put him away, and they can be seen arguing over not being able to get the job done.

This gives Seth the opening he needs, and while Gunn and Woods argue, he’s able to hit Gunn with a running splash, which knocks Gunn into Xavier and dropping him to the ground from the apron. Seth goes gung-ho, which finishes with a jumping spin kick right to the temple of Bart. He lifts him up onto his shoulders with great strength, and hits a devastating Buckle Bomb, which knocks the wind right out of Bart’s sails. He goes to cover, only for the ref to advise that there was a tag made when he knocked into Xavier, meaning Woods is the legal man. As Bart rolls out of the ring, Seth goes looking for Woods and drags him in. Perching him up on the corner, he hits a huge Superplex, and follows it up with the Avada Kedavra! The crowd are really into it, and are willing Seth on, as he waits in the corner for Woods to stir.

Porallo: I think we know what could be coming next!

Burke: Here we go baby, Curb Stomp time!!!

Seth is lying in wait, ready for the Curb Stomp. Before he can move however, there’s a tug on his foot at the bottom rope. The crowd goes absolutely ballistic, as he is pulled out of the ring and set upon by none other than…



Porallo: OH MY GOD, STEAMBOAT IS HERE! RICKY IS BACK, AND THE HOMETOWN FANS ARE GOING WILD!

Mortell: There was no way he was going to be able to stay away, not a chance!

Burke: Does the word of our general manager mean nothing to people like Ricky? He honestly has absolutely no respect whatsoever!

Ricky is again unloading on Seth with lefts and rights, but Seth this time is giving back as good as he gets. They head towards the commentators table, and simultaneously pull a monitor each. They charge towards one another, with both connecting, causing each other to fall to the ground from a double shot to the head. All this is occurring while the referee has called for the bell, due to a disqualification caused by Steamboat with his interference.

Winner

by DQ: Seth Rollins

Both men are wheezing and clearly tired, as John Laurinaitis’ face appears on the Titantron.



Johnny: Ricky, I very clearly told you to take tonight off, because of the very reason you’re out there in my arena right now! And would you listen?!? Of course not! Well, I’m not going to stand for your insolence any longer! You wanna fight? Well you’ll get a fight, because you are officially the fourth man on Jay Lethal’s team in our main event tonight! I sure hope it’s worth it!

Mortell: Wow! I gotta say, some of his decisions are a pile of ****ake mushrooms, but when John Laurinaitis gets it right, he really does get it right!

Porallo: Gotta agree there Stan!

There is hardly any time for Ricky to catch his breath, as the next competitors are making their way out. Gunn & Woods have left at this stage, and Rollins walks off side stage with one paramedic as a small precaution.

Porallo: You are all very welcome back ladies & gentlemen, a huge announcement by our general manager just now, that Ricky Steamboat will be the final man on Jay Lethal’s team for our main event, an 8 man tag team match!

Mortell: Remember folks, the stakes could not be higher; if Lethal’s team win, then Jay gets a shot at Nature Boy Buddy Rogers’ Intercontinental title! And from the looks of things, all is not well in the camp!

Burke: Would you ever shut the hell up old man?!? Buddy has been wronged now for the past couple of weeks by his moronic assistant Shelton Benjamin. If I were him, I’d be taking a good long look at my colleagues to see how I can improve in serving the guy giving me all this valuable life experience.

Mortell: I sure hope there isn’t a dip in the market if that’s the case!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3HVSZirKzV4

Jay Lethal, Inoki & Fujinami all enter out to Lethal’s music, as the crowd give them a huge cheering ovation. They meet Steamboat, who has gotten back into the ring, and they embrace him.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vegHvLCDJK0

Again, the famous diamond spotlight and formation appears on the ramp, filled by Buddy Rogers and his crew. The whole arena is dark barring the shaft of light that illuminates the group, giving them an almost enigmatic presence.

Burke: Box office guys, this guy is simply box office! How lucky we are to have such a talent in our midst…

Porallo: I don’t know about you Pope, but Valentine’s was over a month ago now at this stage. You’ll have to save it for next year!

As they take off their jackets, Rogers can be seen talking to Shelton, as if to guide him not to do anything rash or hasty tonight. Both teams leave one man each in the ring, with Lethal and Buddy left. Lethal goes to lock up, but Buddy just laughs and tags in Rich Swann straight away.

Burke: What an excellent strategy!

Mortell: It’s never going to end with you is it?!?

Burke: What on earth are you talking about?!??

Mortell: (Shaking his head) Never mind…

Lethal and Swann set off at a very fast pace, with both wrestling a quick style. They trade various holds, with both reversing each other. It seems to be a case of outdoing the other, and countering the other’s previous move with something more impressive. While Lethal gains the upperhand first, the exchange culminates with Swann hitting a textbook Tornado Spin Kick, or 540 kick to the lay person. Catching Lethal square on the jaw, he becomes dazed and has to lean on the ropes for support.

Burke: WOOOOW! That’s why Buddy sees this kid as the future! When you can bust out moves like that, you know you’re going places!

Mortell: I have to agree, that was quite impressive, let’s see if he can build on that!

The advantage swings towards Swann at this point, as he keeps Lethal ground with short intense moves. He constantly tags with Benjamin, working a similar style. Eventually they tag in Terkay, while Lethal tags in Inoki. They both brawl with one another, as the commentators reference Inoki’s former fight with boxing great Muhammad Ali, while also acknowledging Terkay’s past as an MMA fighter, and putting over that he is a dangerous man.

They battle each other hard and stiff, with various rights and lefts coming for around 5 minutes. They rest in the middle, but Inoki then charges forward with a wicked neckbreaker, taking Terkay to the ground. From there, he hits a ground diving knee drop and covers, but only for a two count. He tags in Fujinami, who locks in the Cobra Twist on Terkay, wrenching his back backwards for extra pressure. Terkay looks out of it, up until Buddy comes into the ring to break the hold. While being reprimanded by the referee, Terkay blindsides Fujinami with a knee to the temple, swinging the momentum back to Buddy’s crew. Tagging in Buddy, he goes to work on the knee of Fujinami, hitting elbow drops to the knee, a Dragon Screw takedown, and a chop block. Fujinami is in lots of pain now, and it’s only made worse when Buddy locks in his patented Figure-Four Leg Lock, right in the centre of the ring.

Burke: I think the fat lady may be about to sing boys, Fujinami don’t look too good out there!

Mortell: If he can turn on his belly, he’ll reverse the pressure all onto Buddy, it’s the only hope he has left!

It seems hopeless for Fujinami, but with his last remaining bit of energy, he just about can turn Buddy and release all the pain of the Figure Four onto him. Buddy is writhing in agony, and desperately tries to reach the ropes. It takes 30 seconds, but he eventually does, forcing the hold to be broken. With both men down, he tags in Terkay, all the while Fujinami is desperate to reach Steamboat, who the fans are baying for

Porallo: Come on Tatsu, come on come on come on….YESSS! TAG MADE! HERE COMES STEAMBOAT!!!

Ricky is like a man possessed, knocking down Benjamin, Swann and Buddy off the apron with a huge splash in the corner. Turning around, he ducks a boot from Terkay and hits a beautiful arm drag on his way back. He goes for a quick roll up, but only gets a two count. He rebounds off the ropes only for Terkay to catch him in mid-air, however he reverses into a nice headscissors hurricanrana. The crowd are appreciating the slick and smooth transitions, and a ‘WE LOVE STEAMBOAT’ chant quickly breaks out. Terkay rolls over towards his corner, and tags in Buddy. Buddy hesitates while getting in, but once he does tries to hit Ricky with a thumb to the eye. Ricky sees this coming and blocks it. Lifting Buddy up on his shoulders, he hits a smooth Electric Chair Drop which leaves Buddy reeling. As he sees the rest of the opposing team getting up on the apron, he prompts Inoki and Fujinami to take them out, which they do with suicide dives to the outside. Seeing his opportunity, he goes up top to finish it with the Diving Crossbody. Jay Lethal makes a blind tag seen by the referee, and as Ricky dives towards Buddy, he ducks resulting in him making contact with the ref and knocking him out cold!

With the ref down and most others outside, our attention goes out that way. Inoki and Fujinami are beating on Swann and Terkay, and throw them out over the barricade, following them. However, as they are out there, they are blindsided by Mercury & Morrison, who attack them both from behind. Pummeling away on the Asian legends, they plant Inoki with a Snapshot, much like the battle royal, and Fujinami gets hit with a double Flapjack on the concrete. Terkay and Swann however are not much better off, as they all lie well away from the ring.

It is left with Ricky, Shelton on the outside, and the two legal men; Buddy and Lethal. Ricky tries to wake the ref but to no avail…it is then that the favour is returned by SETH ROLLINS, who appears through the crowd and resumes where they left off at the conclusion of the handicap match earlier.

Porallo: We’re just days away from Cheddarama, and Steamboat and Rollins just cannot keep their hands off of one another!! Look at them go!

With the ref beginning to stir, it is now only Shelton, Buddy and Lethal in the ring. Shelton holds up Lethal while Buddy hits him with some punches to the gut. Directing traffic, he then holds up Lethal, telling Shelton to hit him with a Super Kick. Shelton lines him up, but when delivering the kick Lethal ducks at the last moment, resulting in him nailing Buddy Rogers who falls the mat out cold!

Lethal quickly wastes no time in punching Benjamin and throwing him out over the ropes to the outside while scurrying over for the cover on Buddy. The referee is slowly coming to and counts the pin for the 1………..2…………..3.

Winners:

Ricky Steamboat, Antonio Inoki, Tatsumi Fujinami & Jay Lethal (Lethal is now No.1 contender for Intercontinental Championship)

Lethal cannot contain the joy on his face, while outside Shelton cannot mask his disappointment. However, all attention once again turns towards Rollins and Steamboat on the outside, who are still beating the hell out of one another. Again this continues for a few minutes, before Johnny Ace’s face one more appears on the Titantron.

Johnny: Why must I keep repeating myself gentlemen? You have been given instructions, yet all you want to do is beat the hell out of one another until the other one cannot get up. Well, because of your lack of regard for rules, it’s made me have a think. And at Cheddarama, your contest for the vacant World Heavyweight Championship will also have no rules. You two want to beat each other to pulp? You two want to climb over one another in order to succeed? Well, that’s what you’re going to have to do. Gentlemen, your contest is going to be A LADDER MATCH!

Porallo: And just when you thought this main event could not get any better!

Johnny: So if I were you, I’d start practicing guys. It’s a long way down from here!

The Titantron shuts off, as Rollins & Steamboat are now stunned by this news. They are both too busy getting their breath back to approach each other any more, however both are still talking to one another about how they will defeat the other. Lethal comes for Steamboat and brings him up the ramp, advising that his time will come. Neither Seth nor Ricky take their gaze off the other, as the credits roll.

A Brad Maddox Guy

Presents
SUPREMACY

Petey: "Welcome to another night of Supremacy here in the MWA. And what a main event we have got tonight."
Dave: "They couldn't be separated last week but tonight there's a wall of steel to make sure that can't happen again."
Petey: "And the winner will book their place in the main event of WrestleRama III for the MWA World Heavyweight Championship. Will it be the King Lion of CHAOS Kazuchika Okada, a man that has led the most dominant group of wrestlers MWA has ever seen?"
Dave: "Or will it be the Loose Cannon, the former MWA World Heavyweight Champion Brian Pillman battling to regain a title he never lost?"

MWA World Heavyweight Champion Batista makes his way to the ring to open the show.

Batista: "I'm not here to entertain. I'm not here to talk for 20 minutes so you can cheer or boo or call me funny names that trend on Twitter. I'm here to dare the cowards that attacked me on my first night in MWA to come out here right now and face me like men."

"AWESOME"
The Miz & Damien Mizdow walk out to the stage, Mizdow is clutching a $20 plastic toy MWA Championship proudly and The Miz is wearing his $399 toy even prouder.

The Miz: "Man does it feel good to be Champion. You know Batista, I'm guessing you've finally realised what everybody else knew – you can't beat me at anything. I mean you'd have to or else you would have asked for a rematch tonight. But I guess when you're also just the second biggest Hollywood actor in this company there's just no point in challenging for what you've already lost. I mean, I'm the star of the Marine, a kick-ass action hero any man would aspire to be. You play some blue idiot supporting actor in a kids comic book movie. Yep..." Miz pats his 'Championship' proudly "I suppose you'd need to be just as stupid to think you could ever win this back from me.

Batista: "Miz you and your little miming buddy can play with your toys all you want. I'm here for a real fight and if my masked attackers won't bring the fight to me then I guess I got time to take care of you two assholes first."

Batista bursts forward leaping through the ropes, Miz pushes Mizdow down the ramp shouting "you're my stunt double dammit" before running away. Mizdow holds his hand up and backs away from Batista slowly, he realises he's still holding the toy and offers it to Batista. Batista slaps it out his hands and hits Mizdow with a right hand, kicks him in the gut & lifts Mizdow up for a Batista Bomb on the stage. Batista's music plays, he lifts up his own Championship and we cut to a break.

MWA owner Brad Maddox is in his office when Rob Van Dam walks in.

RVD: "Brad I never ask for much in life, as long as I can have a good time I'm usually happy. But last week proved to me that sometimes there are some worries, sometimes you need to get serious to get what you want. Well I want Fandango & Matt Hardy to feel the pain I felt last week. I want both of them at WrestleRama and I don't care if I have to put my Intercontinental Championship on the line to get it."
Maddox: "That's an interesting challenge Rob. I have an announcement to make in a few minutes but after seeing what just happened between Batista & The Miz I think you might have what I need. I want you to tag with Batista against The Miz & Damien Mizdow. Do that and I'll consider your match proposal."

Maddox: "I'm going to cut to the chase here because we've got a packed show tonight. At WrestleRama III I aim to provide a stage where the best talent in the world can compete and entertain the masses and bring MWA back to the forefront of pro wrestling. And it gives me great pride to announce yet another piece of the puzzle - the MWA Super Junior Showcase. By the end of WrestleRama one man will call themselves the best lightweight wrestler in the world."

VS
Briley Pierce vs Angelico

A short but well contested match which Angelico wins thanks to a distraction from Son of Havoc.
Winner: Angelico

Big John Studd & King Kong Bundy are in the ring.

Studd: "We are here to call out that son of a bitch Brad Maddox."
Bundy: "First he doesn't include me in the Contender's tournament."
Studd: "And then he puts me up against a cheater like Pillman. If I met that 'loose cannon' in a bar I'd break his smug face. Maddox holding a tournament is a joke when he's already got the two toughest S.O.Bs in MWA standing right here in this ring."
Bundy: "So now we have a demand for you Maddox. We want a title match against the MWA Tag Team Champions!"

Music plays but it isn't Brad Maddox... Onto the stage walk Gene & Ole Anderson!

Ole: "We were planning on winning back our Tag Team Championship but hearing you call yourselves the toughest S.O.Bs in MWA just rubbed ol Gene up the wrong way, ain't that right Gene."

They climb into the ring and without hesitation take the fight to Studd & Bundy. Both teams take each other on in a wild brawl, grappling is not an option here. Gene & Studd are both throwing punches in the middle of the ring with little consideration for blocking while Ole and Bundy are locked in a scuffle of forearms & punches in the corner. Brad Maddox runs out to ringside with numerous referees, road agents & security staff to try and separate the four men. They get locked in the tussle between Ole & Bundy and somehow force them through the ropes and manage to separate them on the outside. Those left inside the ring are not so lucky as attempts to stop Gene & Studd lead to even more punches being thrown. Both men have drawn blood when staff finally force them into opposite corners.

Gene has what looks like a broken nose while Studd's eye is already swollen with blood dripping down his face from a gash across his brow. Gene is forced to the outside first and together with Ole they are ushered up the ramp, Bundy & Studd have stopped resisting meaning the Andersons are faced with a wall of security. Once the Andersons have been removed Maddox orders the remaining staff members to remove Bundy & Studd but as they are walking by Studd breaks free and hits Maddox with a Lariat that lands him hard on his neck. Security restrain a laughing, bloodied Studd as Maddox lies out cold.

Titus O'Neil finds Batista in catering backstage.

Titus: "Hey man I was watching earlier and realised you need some help. How about tonight you let me be your tag team partner instead of RVD and after that we become business partners and I can be your stunt double. I hear Mizdow's earning millions of dollars to protect Miz's moneymaker so figure you can pay me millions of dollars too."

Batista laughs at Titus and brushes past him without an answer. Titus grabs Batista's arm and pulls him back which pisses Batista off and he pushes him with force.
Titus: "I'm just playing man I'm just playing." but when Batista turns to walk away Titus attacks him with clubbing blows from behind. Batista falls to his knee under the force, Titus backs up down the hall and the cameras hear his trademark bark.

Caristico returns to a heavily mixed reception. He suprisingly gets a microphone and the crowd quieten down. Caristico starts to speak Spanish which leads to a few boos once again.

Caristico: "Entiendo por qué algunos de ustedes me Boo, lo entiendo. Fallé en mi actitud pasado, me soné la oportunidad en la WWE , culpé a Rey Mysterio y arruinado nuestra amistad en el Monday Night Grappling año pasado . Me costó mi máscara Mistico , me costó mi identidad."

A man stands up in the timekeeper's area with a microphone to translate Caristico's words.
Translator: “I understand why some of you boo me, I get it. I failed in my past attitude, I blew my opportunity in WWE, I blamed Rey Mysterio and ruined our friendship on Monday Night Grappling last year. It cost me my Mistico mask, it cost me my identity.”

Caristico: "Pero ahora soy un hombre nuevo. Soy Caristico y estoy aquí para demostrar a mí mismo , para demostrar al mundo entero que la sensación mexicana es sensacional . Caristico que es el mejor luchador en el planeta."

Translator: "But now I'm a new man. I am Caristico and I'm here to prove to myself, to prove to the entire world that the Mexican Sensation is sensational. That Caristico is the best luchador on the planet."

Son of Havoc & Angelico come out to interrupt Caristico.

Son of Havoc: "Caristico, you can talk all you want about your attitude being a thing of the past but your ego means that attitude will never go away."
Angelico: "As for being the best luchador in the world, why not throw your name into the Super Junior Invitational and prove to the world that the few words you say actually mean something."

The translator repeats their words to Caristico who nods along and replies.
Translator: "Caristico accepts your challenge and has vowed to win over his doubters."

Batista is backstage on his way to ringside for the tag team match when he has a run in with Pillman Pillman.

Pillman: "Batista after I win tonight you'll be next. I'll get 'the great Batista' at WrestleRama and finally take back the title I didn't lose & you sure as hell didn't earn."
Batista: "I've read the rumours online Pillman, there are people that think you attacked me and though I don't think so I ain't ruling anything out. So if you win tonight I'm going to enjoy kicking the 'Loose Cannon's' ass and shutting you up for good."
Pillman looks aghast before saying "Jesus Dave..when did you learn to read? Since you're new to this let me recommend some classics that you can relate to.... there's Moby Dick..and well that's just about the most relateable title you'll get. Good luck tonight..Champ."

Pillman walks by as Batista tenses his muscles before continuing on his way. The cameras stick with Batista down the corridor as he comes across Pillman's opponent for tonight - Kazuchika Okada.

Batista talks really slowly & loudly and tells the Japanese star "you're playing with the big boys now and if I ever find out that you were behind the attack then a Batista Bomb will break your back. And if you're unlucky enough to win tonight, I'll do it anyway at WrestleRama."
The other Lions of CHAOS make a move but Okada holds out his hand to stop them, points at Batista's championship and says "WrestleRama" before walking away. All of the Lions follow but Kenny Omega who stands staring at Batista before suddenly leaning in & shouting an indiscernible noise and walking away with a villainous laugh.

VS

The Miz & Damien Mizdow vs Batista & Rob Van Dam

Both Matt Hardy & Fandango have joined Petey & Dave on commentary, albeit they are sat at opposite ends of the table.

Mizdow starts the match with Batista but The Miz wants in. Batista doesn't attack, Mizdow tags in and The Miz seems amped up as he enters the ring. Batista tries to hit him but Miz runs out of the ring and the crowd boo. Miz poses for the crowd & Mizdow poses on the apron. Batista jumps to the outside and chases Miz around the ring until Miz slides in & immediately tags Mizdow. Batista dominates Mizdow with power moves and tags in RVD.

Matt Hardy: "What a mistake that's going to be. WHAT ARE YOU DOING BATISTA? HE HAS NO MATTITUDE!"
Fandango: "*inhales & exhales deeply* "Van Dam doesn't have the footwork to stay on top."

RVD hits Mizdow with quick kicks & finishes the combo with a roundhouse that sends Mizdow down. Rob hits a Rolling Thunder and climbs to the top rope but Miz runs over to push him off before running away from Batista.

Fandango: "See I told you Petey"

Mizdow tags in The Miz who attacks RVD on the ground to stop him reaching the corner. The match follows a pattern of Miz & Mizdow keeping RVD isolated from Batista.

Hardy: "Why does nobody listen to Mattitude. Look at RVD getting beat up by a stunt double. He's not good enough to be a champion and once I get my hands on him I will be the new Intercontinental Champion."
Fandango: "Hold on Matt. It only takes two to tango."
Hardy: "Yeah well what do you know, you're a crappy dancer anyway."

Fandango is outraged & jumps to his feet with panache. Inside the ring RVD has countered The Miz's neckbreaker and tagged in Batista. Miz makes it to Mizdow too and Batista hits Mizdow with a huge Spinebuster. Outside the ring Fandango & Hardy are shoving each other on front of the announce table; neither notice RVD climb to the top rope and he hits both men with a somersault plancha. Amidst the chaos nobody notices Titus O'Neil run down the ramp, with the referee distracted by the action on the outside Titus and Batista trade punches until Batista clotheslines Titus over the rope. The referee turns around to see The Miz tag in & quickly roll-up Batista but Batista kicks out. Miz tries to tag Mizdow but he hasn't recovered yet and is down on the outside. Miz turns around into a Batista Bomb and gets pinned.
Winner: Batista & Rob Van Dam

Brad Maddox is in his office being attended to by a physio. Maddox seems a bit groggy when Billy Graham walks in.

Graham: "As MWA General Manager I'm going to enter myself in tonight's Cage Match as Okada clearly cheated against me last week."
Maddoxperks up, "you can't do that, you lost and that's that."
Graham realises Maddox is in a weakened state and keeps saying he has no choice but to take this action but Maddox keeps refusing. Graham gets angry and stands over Maddox, making sure the owner is fully aware of how much larger Graham is than him.
Graham: "Now Bradley, we don't want things getting physical here do we. Especially in your, ahem, poorly state. I'm sure your mother is a lovely lady and it would break her heart if she could see the pain you're in now. You should look after yourself because it could get.. so.. much.. worse." With each of those words Graham shoved his flexed arm into Maddox's face and the owner is starting to panic. "Oh I do hope you can think of something here Bradley, you're in pretty bad shape and I think this doctor might have to write you off and.."
Maddox: "Ok how about this. Instead of changing the cage match you could challenge for the tag titles. If your team wins then you book your place in the main event as a 2nd challenger?"
Graham smiles and says "see what a little bit of thinking does Bradley, you shouldn't be so brash in future. Believe me, the Superstar needs the spotlight for MWA to survive."

VS

Billy Graham is waiting for his tag team partner found by Brad Maddox to be revealed.....

Graham & Colin Delaney vs Omega & Ibushi

Colin Delaney walks out and Billy Graham is furious.
Dave: "What the hell is this? Has Brad Maddox lost his mind? This chump has no business being in MWA let alone challenging for the Tag Team Championship!"
Petey: "Well Graham did say Delaney had a lot of talent before he handpicked him to be in the World Heavyweight contender's tournament. I guess Maddox is just acknowledging that talent tonight."
Dave: "Oh give me a break Petey, you know what this is. Maddox is jealous of how much the fans love the Superstar so he's trying to screw with him."

Omega & Ibushi win. During the match Maddox comes out to stop Graham from cheating. While Graham is intimidating Maddox, Delaney loses the match. Cameras pick up Maddox saying "tough luck Bill, guess you're not getting that World title shot" before Graham picks Maddox up and throws him over the announce table straight into Petey & Dave.
Winner: Kenny Omega & Kota Ibushi

Steel Cage Match
Kazuchika Okada vs Brian Pillman

Another gruelling match between Okada & Pillman. Towards the end Pillman is climbing the cage but is caught near the top by Okada. Okada grabs Pillman, swings his leg around & hooks his hands around the midriff before jumping backwards hitting Pillman with a huge German Suplex. Both men are down, Okada eventually covers Pillman but he kicks out leaving Okada stunned. Okada slowly makes his way back to his feet and looks to ready Pillman for a Rainmaker when a masked man jumps the barrier, and grabs a steel chair. He locks eyes with Okada and motions to throw the chair to him but the man holds on and laughs. Okada looks confused when suddenly Brian Pillman low blows Okada, the masked man tosses the chair over the cage and Pillman slowly makes his way to it. With all his might Pillman crashes the chair across Okada's back. He lays the chair down, lifts Okada up and DDT's him onto the chair before pinning him.
Winner: Brian Pillman

Ibushi, Omega, Shelley & Kushida come out but are headed off at the foot of the ramp by the masked man with a chair in hand. After a staredown Ibushi, Omega & Kushida move forward but Shelley stays behind; Shelley clubs Kushida with a vicious elbow to the back of the head, the masked man takes advantage with a chair shot to Ibushi leaving Omega 2-on-1 against Shelley & the masked man. He succumbs to the numbers game and gets sent headfirst into the cage by the masked man as Alex Shelley pounds on Kushida until his elbows draw blood. The masked man unveils himself to be Chris Sabin, he and Shelley embrace as the cage is raised and they help Pillman walk up the ramp, victorious....

MWA Supremacy – Episode 4

Segment
Pillman, Sabin & Shelley are in the ring. Pillman says he had everyone fooled, all of you idiot fans wanted to believe he had seen the light at MWA but it was him all along. He attacked KENTA, he drove Sabre & Scurrl out of MWA, he tore apart the Lions of CHAOS & he took down the supposed World Champion Batista. Alex Shelley says he realised months ago that tagging with Kushida was holding him back, Kushida was happy to play second fiddle to Ibushi & Omega & lacked the desire to take their tag team gold. That was when he got in touch with his blood brother Chris Sabin. Sabin says he jumped at the chance to teach those bastards a lesson and prove to everybody that Time Splitters got nothing on Motor City Machine Guns!
Okada's music hits and he walks out joined by Ibushi, Omega & Kushida. They don't say a word, just walk toward the ring when suddenly Batista's music hits & The Animal runs out and pushes through the Lions of CHAOS to storm the ring. They run in behind him and a wild brawl ensues. Big moves to the outside by MCMG, Ibushi, Omega & Kushida; Okada has Pillman in the corner when Batista throws the final man out of the ring. He grabs Okada and tosses him behind so he can get his hands on Pillman, Okada doesn't take kindly to this and pulls Batista back and gets a few kicks on Pillman before Batista shoves Okada out of the way. Both men argue while Pillman is slumped in the corner, they fail to notice MCMG drag Pillman under the rope and back up the ramp. When they do Batista can be heard calling Okada a "stupid bastard" and goes to leave the ring in pursuit of Pillman but he is pulled back by Okada and caught by a Rainmaker. With Pillman & co gone, Okada picks up Batista's World Championship, poses with it before dropping it on the fallen Animal.

Segment
Later in the show Batista demands to get both Okada & Pillman at WrestleRama III but Brad Maddox refuses, stating it would undermine the entire number 1 contender's tournament that the MWA fans paid hard earned cash to see. Batista says he doesn't care, he wants both of them. And if Maddox won't give him that match then Batista will refuse to defend the World Championship this Sunday night. Maddox asks how he could treat the fans that made him the star he is with such disdain but Batista says he doesn't give a damn about these fans, their money or what they want. He won multiple World Championships by himself, he became a Hollywood star by himself which is more than any of those people could amount to in their own dreams nevermind reality. Even The Miz has made more of himself than they ever will. So he gives Maddox an ultimatum, either he gets both men or Maddox can run the biggest PPV of the year without the biggest star in wrestling. Maddox says he will not sacrifice the integrity of his tournament but he has an idea that should please the Champion – a non-title match against Okada tonight. Batista smiles, pats Maddox on the back and says that's even better, he'll be able to break Okada's back tonight and beat Pillman to a pulp on Sunday. As Batista goes to leave Maddox tells him that if Okada wins he'll be entered into the WrestleRama main event. Batista laughs and says Okada's leaving Supremacy on a stretcher.

Match
Rob Van Dam & Caristico vs Matt Hardy & Fandango
Fandango & Hardy are at odds throughout the match and it culminates when Fandango climbs to the top rope for his Leg Drop but Matt grabs his foot before pulling him down into a Twist of Fate on the apron. Caristico drags Fandango into the ring and pins him as Matt Hardy looks on.

Pierce's attack distracts RVD and Hardy is quick to react by attacking RVD from behind. Briley hits Caristico with a DDT on the ramp and leaves but Hardy is stomping a defenceless RVD. Matt kicks RVD to the outside and hits him with a chair. He takes apart the announce table, pulls RVD onto it and hits a Twist of Fate which sends both men through the table. But Matt hasn't accounted for Fandango recovering and he gets hit by the chair previously used. Fandango hits Hardy with the chair repeatedly until finally security run out and drag him away.

Segment

Match
Lions of CHAOS (Omega, Ibushi & KUSHIDA) vs Brian Pillman & Motor City Machine Guns

Segment
Billy Graham calls out Brad Maddox. He issues a vote of no confidence in the owner. Graham says that an independent doctor has ruled Maddox unfit for work as a result of Big John Studd's lariat and Graham will be assuming control of MWA until Maddox is recovered. Maddox says he owns MWA and Graham hasn't got the power to do such a thing. Graham cockily disagrees and suddenly Big John Studd & King Kong Bundy walk up behind Maddox. They drag him down to the ring and throw him to Graham. Graham punches Maddox and prepares him for a Bear Hug when the Andersons run out and take the fight to Studd & Bundy on the outside. Graham tosses Maddox aside and the Andersons both knock Studd & Bundy down. Graham waits for them to enter the ring before he slides out the other side and quickly moves up the ramp. Brad Maddox gets up and says "I was supposed to be the hero of this story but you tried to turn me into a villain. That ends now Superstar. At WrestleRama it's going to be me against you in a 6 man tag team match. Superstar Billy Graham, Big John Studd & King Kong Bundy versus Brad Maddox and the Minnesota Wrecking Crew, Gene & Ole Anderson. And just to make sure this is the end of our relationship in MWA, both of our jobs will be on the line."

Match
Kazuchika Okada vs Batista
Batista is cocky at first but quickly realises this is misplaced as Okada connects with some really stiff shots. Okada gets his foot on the rope after a Batista Bomb which greatly angers the champion. Okada wins the match with a Rainmaker which knocks one of Batista's teeth out, and cements his place in WrestleRama's main event at long last. Brian Pillman walks onto the stage and the show ends with him & Okada staring from afar as Batista clutches his Championship on the outside, blood dripping from his mouth.

We’re shown the buildup to this match where Cade & Murdoch declared themselves as Tag Champions as they had no competition from anybody else in PCW, however Paulie informed them earlier that day he was approached by Lou Thesz & Greg Valentine insisting that they were forming a tag team so Paulie made this match for tonight.

Cole: “Cade & Murdoch have been fuming for the last week that they are the rightful champions and should be given the belts.”

Matthews: “We know that’s not the way Paulie operates he wants healthy fighting competition and you have to earn everything around here.”

“The match is underway and it gets off to an explosive pace, Thesz hits Cade with a Belly To Back Suplex and Murdoch pulls his Partner from the ring to regroup but Valentine hits a Crossbody from the top rope to take both men out and rolls Cade back into the ring and Thesz locks in the STF but Cade just about manages to get to the ropes to force the break. Cade hits Thesz with a superkick and for the next few minutes Cade & Murdoch isolate Thesz and control the pace of the match eventually Lou lands a dropkick on Murdoch and reaches Valentine for the hot tag, he onloads on Murdoch with left and rights and hits Cade with a Vertical Suplex, locks in the Figure Four Leglock on Murdoch but Murdoch reverses the pressure and forces Valentine to break the hold, Cade tags in heads to the top rope and connects with Diving Texas and scores the victory. Cade & Murdoch win the Tag Team Titles.”

Winner: Cade & Murdoch

Cole: “What a match we’ve just witnessed, I guess Cade & Murdoch were right they are the dominant tag team around here.”

Matthews: “That was a great contest alright, the crowd were very into that one and I’m sure these two teams will go at it again in the future.”

Cole: “There has been rumours circulating all week Josh that this could be the last night of PCW for some time and we’ll all have to find new promotions to work for.”

Match No.4 Hardcore Title Invitional

Terry Funk v Steve Blackman v Crash Holly v Scotty 2 Hotty v Shark Boy

“The match involves into chaos early as Blackman attacks Funk early with a Kendo Stick and Crash hits Scotty with a Trash Can while Shark Boy stands on the outside looking on at the carnage going on in the ring. Blackman has now taken out all participants with the Kendo Stick and is standing tall in the ring proclaiming himself the Hardcore King before Mick Foley’s music hits and he makes his way down the ramp with Barbie in his hand, he lays Blackman out and just as his going for the pin Shark Boy attacks him with a chair, Shark Boy goes to the outside and grabs a table he places Foley on the table heads to the top rope and attempts some sort of moonsault but Foley manages to roll off the table just before impact and its Shark Boy who feels the pain he intended on delivering. There’s bodies layed out everywhere across Madison Square Garden and as everyone just about gets to their feet Terry Funk produces a chainsaw starts it up but all the participants dispatch from the ring at a rapid rate to get out of harms way but Funk chases Blackman through the arena with the chainsaw in hand. In the ring, Foley has scattered thumbtacks all over the canvas but Scotty comes in and hits a running bulldog to Foley and he is busted open badly, Scotty wants to go for the worm but is reluctant to because of the thumbtacks and goes to kick them out of the ring however Crash is back in the ring and hits the Crash Course onto the Thumbtacks and gets the 1 2 3 to become the Hardcore Champion once again.”

Cole: “Remember everyone that the hardcore title has to be defended any time any place under the 24/7 rule.”

Match No.5 Flag Match

Giant Gonzalez w/Paul Bearer v Sgt Slaughter

We’re shown the buildup to this where Bearer announced he has disowned his two sons, The Undertaker and Kane but had travelled to dark places to find a new monster and found Giant Gonzalez in the mist of the Amazon Rainforest. Gonzalez had been a wrestler in America years previously but felt hated by the American people and in turn fueled his hatred of America and everything it stood for. Bearer challenged any American man who was brave enough to face his monster and Sgt Slaughter accepted the challenge leading to a flag match tonight.

Matthews: “The rules of this one are as follow. The Argentina flag will be in Giant Gonzalez corner whilst the American flag will be in Sgt Slaughters corner. Whoever retrieves the others flag will be declared the winner of the match.”

“Slaughter gets out the blocks strongly as he looks in the mood for a battle. Gonzalez looks a little rattled early on but soon finds his feet and manages to gain the upperhand in the contest. He’s hitting Slaughter with a series of punches and some chops to the chest. He hits Sarge with a big boot and then a chokeslam but he seems disinterested in claiming the American flag and would rather dish out more punishment much to the encouragement of Paul Bearer. Slaughter manages to jump on the Giant’s back and lock in a sleeper hold he hangs on to the sleeper despite Gonzalez trying to power out however he starts to lose conciousness and drops to his knees and this time Sarge locks in the Cobra Clutch and after a while the Giant is down and out. Slaughter goes to retrieve the Argentinian flag but Bearer is there to stop him however Sarge flattens Bearer with a right hand Slaughter is about to pull down the Argentina flag but is stopped by Giant Gonzalez who hits Sarge with a chokeslam from the top rope to the outside. Gonzalez casually walks to the other side and removes the American flag from the pole and he wins this matchup.”

In the ring afterwards Bearer takes out a lighter and sets the American flag a ablaze to very audible boos from the New York City crowd. Giant Gonzalez and Paul Bearer are laughing hysterically in the ring.



The Rock shown getting ready for his huge match tonight. JoJo is there to grab a word with him.

JoJo: “Rock a lot has been said over the last few weeks about this fued with your cousin Rikishi.”

Rock: “I never in a million years thought I’d come here to PCW and face such animosty from someone I considered my own flesh and blood and if Rikishi thinks I’ve lost my passion for this business well with my grandfather, “High Chief” Peter Maivia and my father, “Soulman” Rocky Johnson by my side we’re going to whoop some Uso candy ass if you smelllllllllllllll what the Rock is cookin.”

Match No.6 Six Man Tag Team Elimination Match

The Rock, Rocky Johnson & Peter Maivia v Rikishi & The Usos

A video package airs reminding us about how this match came together. The Rock was in the ring declaring his intention on entering and winning the tournament to become the inaugural PCW World Heavyweight Champion when Rikishi and his sons The Usos layed him out in the middle of the ring. The following week Rikishi came out to explain his actions and made some controversial claims that the Rock had lost his passion for the family business, was more interested in living the high life in Hollywood and was dead to him and his family. Last week Rikishi cost the Rock his place in the semi finals of the tournament whilst accepting the challenge the Rock set the previous week Rikishi wanted his sons to be a part of the match but the Rock has antipated this and thats when Rocky Johnson and Peter Maivia appeared on the ramp setting up this blood fued for Pauliemania.

“It’s the Rock who wants to start things off with Rikishi however he wants no part of the Rock so Jimmy Uso starts things off instead. Rock is laying left and rights on Jimmy and tosses Jimmy over the top rope as Rikishi and his sons gather to regroup in their corner. Johnson and Maivia head to that side and all hell breaks loose and all six man are brawling all the way across Madison Square Garden. Rock is beating seven shades of blue out of Rikishi through the crowd bouncing his head off railings and stairs. Rikishi has been busted open whilst the other four men are fighting just beside the announce table. Rock brings Rikishi back to the ring goes for the pin however the referee refuses to count as Rikishi is not the legal man. With this Rocky Johnson tosses the legal man Jimmy Uso into the ring and he gets nailed with a Rock Bottom and this time the pin is good.”

Jimmy Uso has been eliminated

“The match continues with Jey Uso and the freshly tagged in Peter Maivia going at it and Maivia hits Jey with a Samoan Drop but Jey kicks out at two. Jey recovers and drops Maivia with a superkick but in a veteran manuover Maivia rolls to the outside to get some breathing space however Jey dives over the top rope laying out the High Chief. Micheal Cole was heard shouting Uso Crazy during that. Jey gets Peter Maivia back to the ring and tags in Rikishi and slams into Maivia hard in the corner and gives him a devastating Stinkface as the Rock looks on disgusted. Rikishi hits Maivia with a Bonzai Drop and gets the 1 2 3.”

Peter Maivia has been eliminated

“Rikishi and Rocky Johnson battle it out now and Rocky manages to lock in a Boston Crab and just as it looks like Rikishi is about to tap out Jey Uso grabs his fathers hand and places it under the bottom rope forcing Johnson to break the hold. Johnson tries to hit a Rock Bottom but Rikishi counters with a Samoan Drop tags in Jey who hits a Splash from the top rope and gets the pinfall.”

Rocky Johnson has been eliminated

“All of a sudden its two v one but the Rock is not letting that faze him as he keeps fighting both men but the numbers game soon catches up with him as Rikishi and Jey disinsect the Rock with punches and kicks whilst on the ground however the Rock rallies and connects with a tornado DDT on Rikishi avoids a superkick from Jey and hits the Rock Bottom to leave this a one on one battle.”

Jey Uso has been eliminated

“The Rock and Rikishi stare each other up and down the electricity in the air is palpable. The Rock lays the Smackdown on Rikishi and connects with a Spinebuster and takes off his shoulder pad but as he’s going for the People’s Elbow the Usos are back at ringside to distract him. Rocky Johnson and Peter Maivia charge to the ring and beat the Usos all the way back to the back. Whilst all this is going on Rikishi has hit the Rock with a Samoan Spike a tribute to his brother the late Umaga. Rikishi goes to the middle rope for a Bonzai Drop however the Rock avoids it hits a Rock Bottom and a Peoples Elbow to end this enthralling contest.”

Rikishi has been eliminated. Winners: The Rock, Rocky Johnson and Peter Maivia

Mike Tyson is shown approaching his limo in the parking lot

Tyson: “After all these years I can’t believe I’m a champion again.”

Mick Foley sneaks up behind him and rolls him up for a three count to become Hardcore Champion. Foley then jumps into the limo as it speeds away he shouts back to Tyson out of the rooftop window.

Foley: “Have a nice day.”

We’re back ringside

Cole: “It’s now time for our main event of the evening and it’s one we’ve all been waiting for as we crown the inaugural PCW World Champion.”

Paulies comes to ringside with the new championship belt in his hand to present to the winner of the following contest.

Match No.7 World Heavyweight Championship Match

Mr Kennedy v Diesel

We’re given a recap of both mens wins earlier on tonight and also the interviews they gave JoJo where both guaranteed victory.

“Both men lock up in the middle of the ring as the two men are eager not to give an edge to their opponent. Diesel eventually establishes a upperhand as he hits Kennedy with a Sidewalk Slam and puts his opponent in a headlock to try take the air out of the lungs of Kennedy. Kennedy rallies to his feet but Diesel connects with a Big Boot and smirks to himself as he feels another World Title is close to his grasp. Diesel hits Kennedy with Snakeyes followed by a Chokeslam and goes for a cover but Kennedy gets his arm up. Diesel signals he’s had enough of this and sets up for a Jacknife Powerbomb however Kennedy counters an Enzuigiri. Kennedy then hits a Rolling Firemans Carry Slam and this time it’s Diesel who has to kick out at two. Kennedy hits a Mic Check and goes for a Kenton Bomb but Diesels rolls out of the way. Diesel hits the Jacknife Powerbomb goes for the pin but Kennedy again just about manages to kick out. Diesel goes for his finishing move again but Kennedy jumps through it however he knocks the referee down accidentially. Paulie is in the ring and it looks like he’s going to take over officating duties but Paulie grabs the Championship belt and nails Diesel with it, Kennedy heads to the top tope and hits a Kenton Bomb and Paulie counts 1 2 3 and Mr.Kennedy becomes the first ever PCW World Heavyweight Champion.”

KoA look to be going for the kill early and both Sydal and Ricochet go to the top rope looking for stereo SSPs but while Sydal connects on Finlay, Doc was able to get his knees up to block Ricochets. Sydal goes for the pin but Doc is able to break it up.

With Ricochet down Doc drives Sydal into the cage back first. Alpha IV now begin to takeover and aggressively double team Sydal while doing enough to keep Ricochet out of the action. They continue to target Sydals back nail a double suplex, various back breaker variations and using a Boston crab. Having severely weakened Sydal they now target Ricochet. They take it in turn to lawn dart Ricochet in to the cage and as a result Ricochet is now a bloody mess. Alpha IV are cocky now believing the end is near for KoA. While Finlay works over Ricochet in the corner doc has scooped up Sydal and nails his signature Oklahoma Stampede power slam. He gets the cover 1.……..2.……..Sydal somehow kicks out.

Finlay sees this and attempts the Celtic Cross on Ricochet who wriggles free and nails a massive enziguiri. This draws Docs attention. Ricochet ducks a clothesline from Doc and KoA nail a double dropkick. Finlay is up and Ricochet runs off the ropes and Sydal launches him into the air towards Finlay and Ricochet nails a huge assisted tornado DDT. Doc is to his feet and Sydal runs and it’s a huricanrana to take him down and Ricochet flys into the picture hitting a standing SSP. He makes the cover 1.……2.……..Doc gets a shoulder up. KoA are fired up now. They pick up Doc and hit a double brain buster. Sydal makes the cover 1.……….2.………………….Finlay breaks it up.

Both teams seem to be nearing empty on the gas tanks now. Ricochet misses a super kick and Finlay nails him with a huge European uppercut. Doc is up and hit’s a lariat to the back of Sydals head. Doc hit’s a German suplex on Sydal. Finlay picks up Ricochet and is looking for the Celtic Cross and again Ricochet escapes and hit’s a reverse rana on Finlay. Doc is concentrating on Sydal and doesnt see Finlay is down. Ricochet has crawled to the top rope and seems to be setting up for the 630 but just as he stands up Doc shoots Sydal into the rope which knocks Sydal off the top and he gets his foot caught in the ropes.

Sensing his opportunity Doc grabs Sydal and hit’s a BackDrop Driver. Finlay is slowly to his feet and while groggy he has the wherewithal to pick up Sydal for the Celtic Tombstone. Ricochet is still caught in the ropes and Finlay falls into the cover 1.………….2.……………………….3

Winners ; Alpha IV Kings of Air must disband

Ricochet freed himself right at the 3. He is visibly distraught at witnessing the pinfall. He crawls over to Sydal to be beside his now former tag partner. Alpha IV meanwhile are no better off. They are both a bloody mess and both seem to have lost a considerable amount of blood. They both seem to be leaning on the ropes and each other to stand upright as the referee raises their hands and gives them their belts. Ricochet and Sydal are to their feet now as the fans applaud both teams. We get a tense stand off in the middle of the ring.

Finally, Finlay extends his hand and Doc quickly follows suit. Sydal and Ricochet seem surprised. They take a moment to consider the gesture until finally they shake the hands of Alpha IV. The fans erupt at the show of mutual respect between the now former rivals. All 4 men leave the ring together and head to the back for medical attention.

KK : Wow WHATAMATCH! Alpha IV retain but the Kings of Air truly earned their respect here tonight.

SC : The Kings of Air are no more. Im not sure I liked the whole handshake stuff though.

KK : Those 4 men just went to war. They have learned to respect the other team. It was a damn fine moment. Finlay and Doc just went up in my estimation.

Booking explanation : This solidifies Alpha IV as my #1 tag team. They had a fair match with no outside interference to help them and proved they can do it on their own. Kings of Air proved their toughness just by proposing the Cage match and pushed Alpha IV to the limit. Breaking them up would allow me to push Ricochet as a huge singles star and use Sydal as the mid card high flier that the kids would love.

*Video package about the history between The Young Bucks and Austin Idol & Tommy Rich*

Scott Stanford is backstage with The Young Bucks

SS : Matt, Nick tonight you finally get your hands on Austin Idol & Tommy Rich. But Nick I have to ask how is your neck?

NJ : Scott honestly my neck isn’t fully recovered. But I’d have to be dead before I turn down the chance get my hands on these 2 jackasses tonight.

MJ : Idol & Rich. Tonight you wont be able to jump us from behind, you wont have a 2 on 1 advantage and you certainly wont ever spit on me again. Tonight we are having a party! Oh yea it’s a Young Bucks Superkick Party tonight. Invites only and unfortunately for you 2, ye are the guests of honour!

The Young Bucks vs. “The Universal Heartthrob” Austin Idol & “Wildfire” Tommy Rich

Idol & Rich are out first and are ready and waiting for the brothers Jackson. But in a moment of payback the Bucks emerge from the crowd and jump the Memphis legends from behind. The Bucks are men possessed as the attack Rich & Idol and when Rich & Idol retreat to the floor we get stereo suicide dives from The Bucks. The referee knowing the history between the teams seems to be allowing them some leeway to just go at it. Back in the ring The Bucks have Rich on his own and we get a double Superkick. Idol is able to grab Matt by the feet and drag him to the outside where the veteran flings him into the steel barricade. Nick is up top but he misses an attempted 450 splash when Rich moves out of the way.

Idol and Rich now get control and they zero in on Nicks injured neck. We get a series of neck breakers and some near falls as Rich & Idol continue to isolate Nick while keeping Matt away from his brother. Debra or Miss Debra as Austin Idol refers to her has now emerged onto the stage and seems very interested in the action in the ring.

This distracts Idol & Rich and allows The Bucks to fight back. We get vintage Young Bucks offence now as they build up some momentum. Then we get what the fans wanted, a SUPERKICK PARTY. The Bucks hit a succession of super kicks to both Idol & Rich. They have Rich set up for The IndyTaker but Idol yanks Matt from the ropes before he can spring off. Again Rich and Idol have Nick alone and after some high impact moves to his neck they have him set up for the patented Spike Piledriver. Idol allows himself a moment to acknowledge Debra, but this allows Matt to hit him with another super kick. Rich drops Nick from the piledriver position and misses a charge at Matt, Nick flys at Rich with a sunset flip and he gets 1.……2.…..3

Winners ; The Young Bucks

They won the battle but not the war as Idol and Rich attack The Bucks after the pinfall. Eventually Idol & Rich deliver a Spike Piledriver to both Matt & Nick. After seeing all this Debra walks away shaking her head looking unimpressed.

Booking decision : After being left laying I felt the Bucks needed to win here but it was a far from decisive victory. And Idol & Rich leaving them laying after the loss still keeps them strong I feel while not taking away from The Bucks. Also the Debra, Idol & Rich story continues.

6 Man Tag Team Elimination Match

Mike Awesome, Tajiri & Mikey Whipwreck vs. The Zoetic (Masato Tanaka, Barbarian & Meng) w/ Fr James Mitchell

In a recurring theme for all the matches thus far this match is out of control from the beginning and the referee is happy to allow it. The Zoetic work like a well oiled machine to take control early on focusing particularly on Mikey. Mikey tries to put up a fight but the power of Barbarian and Meng is too much and Mikey is quickly dispatched of with a vicious Double Powerbomb.

*Mikey Whipwreck is Eliminated*

Tajiri seems to take exception to his partner being pinned and he explodes into action taking out both Meng and Barbarian with vicious kicks. Awesome and Tanaka have been brawling since the very start and are now brawling through the crowd as Tajiri continues to take on The Seraphs 1 on 2. Tajiri notices that the ref is being occupied by James Mitchell and sprays red mist into Barbarians face followed by a Buzzsaw kick. Tajiri makes the pin 1.…..2.……..3

*Barbarian is Eliminated*

Meng now is upset to see his longtime partner be misted. He charges at Tajiri who avoids the charge and nails a huge roundhouse kick to Mengs head. But Meng is still standing. Mitchell slides a chair into Mengs feet. Meng smiles as he picks up the chair as the referee warns him not to use it. But Tajiri too is smiling now almost maniacally as Meng approaches him with the chair. As Meng swings towards Tajiris head, Tajiri sprays green mist into Mengs face just as the chair connects with Tajiris head and both men fall to the mat. The referee approaches the ring announcer who says both men have been disqualified.

*Double DQ Tajiri and Meng are Eliminated*

This leaves Awesome and Tanaka as the final 2 men in the match. They soon brawl their way back to ringside where Mitchell can be heard shouting encouragement in Japanese to Tanaka. Finally they are in the ring where they continue to trade blows in a back and forward encounter. Tanaka hit’s a suplex, so does Awesome. Awesome hit’s a big boot to Tanaka and Tanaka replies with the same to Awesome. Its move for move now, punch for punch. Tanaka makes some space and goes for his big Lariat finish but Awesome ducks gets a boot to Tanakas gut and powers him up for the Awesome Bomb. Mike makes the cover 1.………..2.…………….3

Winners ; Mike Awesome, Tajiri and Mikey Whipwreck.

Awesome celebrates in ring as Mitchell helps Tanaka to the back. Mitchell sarcastically applauds Awesome “Congratulations Michael. Now we will take you seriously” Mitchell says as he heads to the back.

Booking decision : A big win for Mike Awesome over his long time rival Tanaka to help establish Awesome. A first major loss for The Zoetic but not a definitive one. The Awesome, Tajiri and Whipwreck feud with The Zoetic wouldn’t end here.

*We go backstage where we can see Alpha IV (Williams and Finlay) talking to Jim Ross next to an ambulance and Alpha IV are still a bloody mess*

Finlay : We need to be here for Baz. We gotta……..

JR : I told you already. You BOTH need to go the hospital! I will look after Barry and make sure Lawler gets whats coming to him. Now get yourselves seen to and we can celebrate afterwards.

KK : The tag champs are on their way to hospital Steve. It seems the European Title match is gonna be a fair one on one.

SC : Didn’t you hear JR? Hes gonna make sure Lawler gets whats coming to him. Barry Windham doesn’t need Finlay and Doc so long as he has JR by his side.

KK : Well speaking of The King, Scott Stanford is standing by with The King and Debra.

SS : King we just heard Dr Death and Finlay have been sent to the hospital by JR so they wont be a factor in your match with Barry Windham. But JR will still be ringside.

JL : Them boys are lucky they are gone to the hospital now because if they interfered in my match that’s where I would have sent them. As for that piece of Oklahoma manure, well I think Debra will make sure JR is on his best behaviour tonight.

SS : Debra, I have to ask why did you go out on the stage earlier to watch the Austin Idol & Tommy Rich Young Bucks match?

Debra : Scott, Im a business woman. And Im always scouting new talent. And I enjoyed watching the…

*Idol & Rich walk into shot*

Idol : Jerry. Miss Debra, we hope you liked what you saw earlier on. We put an extra special beating on them punks just for you

Rich : We just wanna be real clear that if “The King” cant protect you from JR we will be watching on a monitor to make sure he cant harm you. Good luck Jerry, I think you are gonna need it

Idol & Rich begin to laugh as they walk away while The King looks seriously PO’ed

KK : What the heck was that all about Steve?

SC : I don’t know Kev. I have cant figure out what those two are up to but something tells me its not good for The King.

KK : Well up next its our AEPW European Title match.

AEPW European Title Match
Barry Windham w/Jim Ross vs. Jerry “The King” Lawler w/Debra

Right from the off The King is the aggressor. He repeatedly ignores the referees call for a clean break. The King isn’t giving Windham a chance to breath and we get an early pinfall after a series of Lawler fist drops. Windham is bleeding now from a cut on his left eyebrow. This seems to wake Barry up who launches a vicious volley of haymakers at The King and he has him reeling. Big discuss roundhouse from Windham.

Barry is fired up now. Windham is in control now and we see a slingshot suplex followed quickly by a massive knee lift. As Barry is picking Lawler up, The King takes a shortcut and pokes Windham in the eye. The AEPW fans don’t like this and begin to boo The King. Lawler looks unimpressed as he continues to attack Windham.

KK : Listen to the fans Steve. They don’t like this side of The King.

SC : I don’t understand these idiots in Dublin. The King is just doing what he has to to win. Barry Windham just cant seem to live with The King tonight. JR doesn’t look impressed.

The King has control again and is gaining confidence. We get “vintage” Lawler offence of punches and slams. JR is now shouting across the ring at Debra. Debra makes her way around to confront JR. The referee has to leave the ring to deal with JR and Debra. As the referee is dealing with Debra JR begins motioning for somebody to come out from the back.

KK : What the heck is JR doing? Doc and Finlay arent here. Who is he motioning for?

SC : I think hes lost it Kev. Hes nuts.

Austin Idol & Tommy Rich emerge and run down to the ring while the referee is still on the outside with Debra and JR.

KK : What the hell are they doing out here? They have no business being here now!

SC : Are they working for JR now?

Lawler is on his feet now and sees Idol & Rich slide into the ring and we get a standoff between the 3 men. But then they all begin to smile. The King grabs Windham and puts him in the piledriver position as Idol & Rich both go to the top rope and we get a massive Spike Piledriver to Windham. And then all of a sudden both JR and Debra send the referee back into the ring as Lawler makes the cover 1.…..2.…….3

Winner and NEW AEPW European Champion ; Jerry “The King” Lawler

KK : What the hell was that?

SC : It was all a plan Kevin. My good they have all been in on this all along.

Idol, Rich, Debra and JR all join Lawler in the ring as we get a massive group hug. JR leans down to Barry Windham and we hear him say “Sorry Barry business is business. And Im done with your dumb ass.” The King picks up Windham again and we get another Spike Piledriver this time onto the title belt.

Booking reasoning : Lawler is so much better as a heel. As soon as I got him I knew I was gonna book him in a double turn. JR made sense to start as a rival and then align with. The whole reason I drafted Idol & Rich was to use for the Lawler heel turn and give him some strong back up. Playing off their history and the whole Miss Debra stuff teasing Debra maybe turning on The King seemed like a real Memphis style thing to do. I would use Doc and Finlay agreeing to the cage match without JR as JR’s reason for turning on Alpha IV. Windham, Doc and Finlay would now be faces out to get JR for betraying them. Idol & Rich vs. Finlay and Doc would be a great tag feud too.

WWGC Heavyweight Title Match
DDP w/Fr James Mitchell vs. “Y2J” Chris Jericho

Slow start to this one as DDP bails from the ring looking to frustrate Jericho. Jericho doesn’t let Pages mind games get to him as he props himself on the top rope (HBK style). Page returns to the ring and we get a face off as both men are running their mouths now. DDP slaps Jericho looking to anger Jericho and take him out of his game plan but Jericho just smiles. DDP slaps Jericho again and this sets Y2J off as he tackles DDP. And they are brawling now. Mitchell can be heard shouting both encouragement to DDP and abuse at Jericho. Y2J gains control now with some quick offence. Big spinning heel kick from Jericho, this draws Mitchell to the apron and the distraction allows DDP to attack from behind.

DDP slows things down now as he takes over. Backbreaker and tilt a whirl slam from Page. Page continues to talk at Jericho as he locks in a camel clutch. The fans rally behind Jericho but DDP cuts off a Y2J comeback. Discuss clothesline from DDP gets a 2 count. DDP seems confident now and he has Jericho up for the Diamond Death Drop but Jericho wriggles free. Jericho misses a step up enziguiri and DDP instantly hit’s a Jake Roberts DDT. He makes a cover 1.……..2.………………..KICKOUT from Jericho.

DDP finds this amusing. He shouts at Jericho to “give up”. DDP picks up Jericho who seems to be out of it, but he hits DDP with a huge slap. DDP charges at Jericho who scores a hurricanrana on Page. Jericho is fired up now. We get Jericho on off offence now with a step up enziguiri, double arm backbreaker and a single arm bulldog. Jericho is set up for the Lionsault but Mitchell is again on the apron. This draws both the referees and Jerichos attention. This allows DDP to recover and he again charges at Jericho who ducks but the referee isn’t so lucky. The ref is out as Jericho hit’s a Codebreaker on DDP and makes the cover but without a ref. The fans count 1.…..2.……..3. Mitchell is on the apron again but this time Jericho is able to hit him and Mitchell is down.

A hooded figure is in the ring but Jericho doesn’t see him. Jericho turns right around into a chair shot right to the head. The hooded man picks up DDP. And before he leaves the ring the hooded man shakes the referee awake. DDP seems surprised by all of this as Y2J crawls to his feet. DIAMOND CUTTER to Y2J. Page makes the pin and the groggy ref makes the count 1.………………..2.…………………….3

Winner and STILL WWGC Heavyweight Champion ; DDP

The hooded man has helped Fr Mitchell up and the Sinister Minister seems delighted to see this mysterious figure. Mitchell and the mystery man join DDP in the ring as Mitchell is heard saying “I knew he would come. I told you he would join us” DDP smiles as the mystery man holds up the Diamond sign to his new leader. DDP embraces the hooded man and then pulls down the hood to reveal Sabu! Sabu has joined The Zoetic.

Booking reasoning : I felt The Zoetic needed to win here having lost the Elimination match earlier and not only have they won but they have gotten even stronger with the addition of Sabu. I think Sabu works better with a mouthpiece and Fr James Mitchell with a brainwashed Sabu as his ultimate weapon is a dangerous thought. Jericho has looked strong in defeat twice now to DDP and will move into a new feud with Sabu. DDP meanwhile has the title and still feels beatable but also untouchable while he has the ever growing Zoetic as his followers.

Texas Death Match
Taz vs. AJ Styles

*Texas Death Match rules are similar to last man standing match. The difference is you must first pin or submit your opponent before the referee will begin the 10 count. Pinfalls and submissions count anywhere in the building*

We get full formal intros here. It has a definite big fight atmosphere. The bell rings and both men circle the ring never losing eye contact until they both charge to the centre and begin trading punches. Its blow for blow but Taz begins to rock AJ 2,3,4,5 unanswered Taz punches and Taz capitalises and hits an overhead belly to belly suplex. AJ is up and charges at Taz again and again its blow for blow, punch for punch but now its AJ with the unanswered punches 3,4,5,6,7 punches and then a discuss clothesline from AJ. But Taz is straight back to his feet. The AEPW fans are going insane at this.

AJ throws a right hand but Taz catches his arm and we get a head and arm TazPlex. AJ stays done. Taz has control now and begins to focus his attack on AJ neck. Big series of TazPlexs and neck breakers. Taz goes behind AJ and hit’s a huge Tiger Suplex high on AJ neck. Taz makes the cover 1.….2.….3.
AJ now has 10 seconds to get back to his feet. 1.………2.……..3.………AJ is stirring now 4.……….Taz walks over and begins to ground and pound AJ thus breaking the referees count. AJ has been cut by one of Tazs punches and blood begins to trickle down his forehead. Taz zeroes in on the cut and continues to punch Styles in the head.

Taz leaves the ring and pulls 2 tables and 2 chairs from under the ring. He slides both chairs and one table into the ring before setting up one of the tables outside the ring. This delay by Taz has allowed AJ to recover and he flys at Taz with a Thesz press followed by some rapid fire punches. Taz throws AJ off but as he stands up AJ has a chair and buries it into Tazs head and the Brooklyn thug goes down. AJ leaves the ring now and retrieves a ladder from under the ring.

AJ is back in and sets the ladder up in one corner before propping the table up in the opposite corner. Taz is up and is cut wide open from the chair shot. AJ with the PELE kick and follows with the pin 1.…….2.……3. Taz is now facing the referees count. 1.……..2.………3.……….4.….Taz is stirring…..5.……..6.…Taz is to a knee……7...AJ flies at Taz with a shining wizard. AJ is in total control now. AJ goes to the apron and is setting up for the Phenomenal Forearm. Taz ducks and AJ flies all the way across the mat before rolling out to the floor.

Taz recovers in the ring before AJ pulls himself back to the apron where Taz meets him with a huge right before suplexing AJ back into the ring. Taz sees the table in the corner and seems to get a momentary rush of adrenaline. Taz drags AJ towards the corner. He picks up AJ, grabs him from behind and it’s a Dragon TazPlex through the table! Cover from Taz 1.……2.…….3. And the referee begins his count 1.…….2.………..3.……….AJ hasn’t moved..4.……..AJ leg begins to move…5.………now his arms have moved slightly…….6.……………..7.…………still no sign of AJ standing…8.…………AJ begins to roll…….9.………………..AJ rolls out of the ring and is standing on the ringside floor, barely. Taz is in shock. Taz rolls out and forces AJ back into the ring without much fight from AJ. Taz seems pissed now and he is shouting at AJ to get up. AJ is up but Taz locks in the Tazmission! AJ is struggling but begins to fade quickly. Taz realising this smiles and says its over. TAZMISSIONPLEX. Taz makes the pin 1.…….2.………3. AJ leg is twitching. 1.………..2.………….3.………AJ is moving…….4.……….5.………..AJ is dragging himself towards the nearest corner….6.…………………7.………….AJ is to a knee…………8.………..hes on both knees now……….9.…………….AJ barely makes it to his feet. But he instantly falls again. Taz cant believe his eyes.

AJ again pulls himself up. Taz is now in his face shouting “ITS OVER AJ! STAY DOWN!! YOU ARE DONE” AJ does the bring it motion. Taz shakes his head in disbelief. Taz throws a right hand that AJ somehow blocks. AJ is throwing punches now. Taz is wobbling, but so is AJ. PELE kick outta nowhere. AJ crawls to the apron. Taz is to his feet but he is wobbling after losing a huge amount of blood. PHENOMENAL FOREARM from AJ and Taz is down. AJ somehow has the energy to pick up Taz. STYLES CLASH to Taz. AJ rolls into the cover 1.………2.………3. The referee is counting again 1.…………2.………..3.…..Taz is moving………4.………….5.……….Taz is at he ropes now……..6.……….he is struggling to pull himself up……..7.………….8.…………….Taz slips………9.………….He is able to recover in time to stand up. AJ flies at him with a cross body block sending them both to the outside.

AJ is first to his feet. But Taz isn’t far behind and just like the opening exchange its punch for punch now with neither man gaining the advantage. Both men have lost a tonne of blood, both are wobbling and barely standing after each blow. AJ begins to gain control with some unanswered punches and again a PELE KICK outta nowhere and Taz is down. AJ is up but doesn’t make the cover. He sees the table Taz set up earlier. AJ puts Taz onto the table outside the ring. AJ slides into the ring. The fans are to their feet. AJ blesses himself and lets out a roar before launching into a SPRINGBOARD 450 FROM THE RING TO THE OUTSIDE. AJ crashes into Taz and through the table. AJ is on top of Taz and the referee makes the count 1.………2.…………3. The referee counts and the fans count alongside him 1.…………….2.……………….3.………………..4.………….Neither man has moved an inch…5.………………6.…………….Still no movement…..7.………………….8.………….Still nothing…….9.……………………..10

Neither man has moved as the referee finishes his count. But as AJ pinned Taz prior to the count it doesn’t matter that he stayed down.

Winner ; AJ Styles

Neither man has moved and both are receiving medical attention as the PPV ends.

Booking reasoning : AJ gets his revenge on Taz for the attack at the previous PPV. I think both men looked strong in the match and showed resilience and toughness. It took a holy sh*t moment from AJ to finally keep Taz down while also keeping himself down. Going forward I would have Taz in more of a tweener role and AJ would move into a feud with DDP.

Cody Hall vs. Teddy Hart Vs. David Hart Smith (C) with girlfriend Layla in his corner Vs. Robbie E - X Title

Teddy and David are part of Owen Hart's stable - Hart Attack, David is the current champ so holder of the X title. Teddy and Cody have been feuding one on one for weeks over who is best next generation superstar. David joins Teddy one week in his beat down on Cody. The following week Cody attacks David in his title match against Robbie E leading to a DQ. Robbie E is also crushing on David's girlfriend Layla. The next week Cody faces David one on one in a non title match when Robbie E comes down to chat to Layla causing Cody to win by roll up. Teddy attacks Cody after the match and David attacks Robbie E. All 4 men are brawling when GM William Shatner announces that at the ppv all 4 would face off for the X title.

At the ppv David asks Teddy has he his back tonight and as Hart Attack has had some dissension, Teddy looks at the title and says oh yes cousin of course. Robbie leaves the ring for most of the match to chat to Layla. Cody takes on David and Teddy who team up. When Cody is down Teddy starts attacking David. Robbie enters and tries to quickly pin Cody and David. In the end Teddy wins the title after pinning David. David is in shock after the match and screams at Layla. She tries to calm him down. He keeps screaming at her. Robbie comes back in the ring and takes down David and kisses Layla and leaves. She looks shocked but smiles in the ring.

Roman Reigns vs. Drew McIntrye - winner becomes LWE's top model and Sherri's only client - Danny Davis as special referee

Sherri was previous manager of Drew but dropped him for Roman who had became the face and body for Walmart's new underwear range. Drew claims Roman and Sherri lost him the underwear gig with H&M which was given to David Beckham. Both Drew and Roman auditioned for Game of Thrones but lost out and they fought at the audition and were removed by security. Drew challenges Roman to a match at the ppv and Sherri agrees for Roman. Shatner whose many advances have been rejected by Sherri announces on his show The Shat Show with special guest Tyra Banks who judges a runway show on the ramp between Roman and Drew which ends in a brawl that whomever wins Sherri would be their manager and they would be LWE's top model with Shatner's buddy Danny as the special referee. Drew and Roman are shown in segments backstage practicing strutting their stuff and posing Zoolander style.

At the ppv both try out posing each other many times. Roman gets the upperhand which delights Sherri but Danny is slow calling 1, 2, 3. He even pretends to injury himself. Roman and Sherri shout
at him. Danny then starts posing himself for Sherri. Roman knocks him out and Shatner comes out to be the referee. Drew now has taken advantage of the commotion and has the upperhand. Sherri distracts Shatner by blowing him kisses so he won't count. Drew knocks out Shatner so another referee comes out bit Roman knocks him out and an another comes out which Drew takes out. This goes on for about 4 more referees. In the end Sherri takes a mic and enters the ring, she says both are winners and together they could be unstoppable, she drops the mic and raises both their hands.

Owen Hart vs. Tyson Kidd

Owen was the previous LWE WHC champ but lost his title and rematch to Christian. Owen's Hart Attack stable consisted of Teddy, Davey, David Jnr, Jim Neidhart, Natalya, Layla and Tyson. Owen keeps ribbing on Tyson saying his isn't a true Hart and never could be as good a wrestler as him. Owen even blames Tyson for him losing his title as he wanted them all to attack Christian before the rematch. In a battle royal for new number 1 contender for LWE WHC title, Hart Attack are cleaning house to help Owen win but Tyson eliminates him. Owen with Jim pulls Tyson out and battles him outside. Tyson beats Jim the following week and again is attacked by Owen after the match. Hart Attack all turn against Tyson even Natayla who asks for a divorce. Tyson challenges Owen to a match which Owen refuses unless Tyson defeats Teddy and David Jnr in a handicap match which Tyson does. Tyson chooses a 2 out of 3 falls match as he is allowed choose the match after he also beats David Snr in a non title match thanks to Barrett's interference.

At the ppv Jim will have left Hart Attack, Owen will win the first fall by submission the sharpshooter, Owen comes close to winning the second fall after many suplexs but Tyson fights back and wins by roll up. Natayla comes down and is cheering on Owen. Teddy with his new title also comes down to cheer on Owen but David Jnr comes and they battle all the way to the back until security breaks it up. Owen is laughing as he can see how much of a beaten Tyson is taking, he fakes going for a pin a few times. Natayla laughs and even slaps Tyson when he gets throw outside. Owen misses a diving headbutt and this gives Tyson time to get back in the match. The ref sends Natayla to the back as she tries to interfere with Shatner coming out telling her she will lose her title and not be in the match later is he don't leave which she does. In a tough tense third fall Tyson would get the win with a sharpshooter.

At the ppv after a close battle Davey retains his title with the help of the ropes which the referee don't see.

LWE WHC Title Match - Ladder Match
Christian (C) Vs. Dolph Ziggler Vs. Nigel McGuinness

Christian has a stalker, someone is watching him in the dressing room, taking stuff from his gear bag, breaking into his house, taking hair from his comb and rubbish from his bin. Ziggler has been goading Christian asking for a title match so Christian thinks it is part of Ziggler's game plan to get into his head to get a match but McGuinness is the No. 1 contender after winning the battle royal. Christian goes to speak to Liz the GM but once there she locks the door and starts smelling him. He sees all his missing stuff in a shrine she has to him. She says she loves him and is his number one peep. Christian freaked out gets out of the office and Liz is arrested so Shatner is made temporary GM. Ziggler laughs when he hears and attacks Christian. Ziggler challenges McGuinness to a match for his No. 1 contender opportunity but Christian attacks Ziggler during the match so all three will face off at the ppv as made by Shatner.

At the ppv, Ziggler attacks both McGuinness and Christian with the ladder, and goes to climb early on but gets stopped. Christian thinks he sees many Liz lookalikes in the crowd which there is as arranged by Ziggler. McGuinness is now dominating and goes to climb but is pushed off by Christian who is finding it hard to concentrate with all the stalker lookalikes in the crowd. Everywhere he looks around he sees one. Ziggler is back up and takes Christian out. Ziggler also throws a ladder twice on McGuinness who is now outside to keep him down. Ziggler then goes to climb when one Liz enters to the ring and pushes him off to the outside. Liz goes to check on Christian and helps him up. Christian is freaked out but takes a ladder and climbs to retain his title. Liz watches from the ramp and is revealed to be William Shatner out. Christian looks on confused from the ring as does Ziggler from outside the ring.

What the hell just happened as the ppv ends.

Matt Hardy v1 vs Fandango vs Rob Van Dam

During the match Fandango hits Matt Hardy with a Leg Drop off the top of the ladder, Matt hits RVD with a Twist of Fate off the ladder and RVD hits Fandango with Rolling Thunder on the ladder.

Finish – Rob Van Dam & Fandango are fighting over the ladder on the outside when RVD hits Fandango with a roundhouse kick which causes Fandango to stumble back onto the announce table. RVD looks from Fandango to the ladder and back and the crowd cheer as he sets up the ladder on the outside. RVD climbs to the top, pauses for a "Rob Van Dam" chant before jumping for a 5 Star Frog Splash from the top of the ladder to Fandango on the announce table but Fandango moves at the last second. RVD crashes through the table and Fandango starts to smile, realising he was nearly part of the wreckage. Fandango slowly makes his way to the ladder and takes it down to slide into the ring. Suddenly Matt Hardy baseball slides the ladder into Fandango sending him to the ground. Matt realises he's the only man left standing and tries to set up the ladder. He repositions it a couple of times before he starts to climb. Fandango gets a burst of energy and quickly gets back in the ring and up the other side of the ladder. He and Hardy are trading punches, Hardy takes control by smashing Fandango's head off the ladder. He grabs Fandango's head, does the V1 sign his hand and attempts another Twist of Fate but Fandango holds onto the ladder and pushes Hardy's jumping back sending him down the mat. Fandango is clinging onto the ladder which is teetering until he manages to balance himself on the 3rd from top rung. He reaches for the title but can only get his fingertips on it. He climbs another rung, breathing heavily, and reaches up again and grabs the title. He pulls the belt and falls from the ladder, Championship gold in hand. Fandango is the new MWA Intercontinental Champion.

Winner: Fandango

VS

MWA Tag Team Championship Match
Motor City Machine Guns vs Kenny Omega & Kota Ibushi (c)

Kenny Omega is the only fit person in this match. Shelley & Sabin are carrying the kendo stick wounds Omega's earlier attack while Ibushi is in a very bad way wearing a protective mask that doesn't quite fit properly. Commentary question whether this mask is doing more harm than good and this seems accurate after a dropkick from Sabin causes blood to spurt from his nose once more.

Finish – Kenny Omega hits Chris Sabin with Croyt's Wrath to win the match. Omega & Ibushi have retained the MWA Tag Team Championship.

Winner: Kenny Omega & Kota Ibushi

VS VS

MWA World Heavyweight Championship Match
Kazuchika Okada vs Brian Pillman vs Batista (c)

The bell rings and all three men exchange strikes, Okada gets kicked to the outside and the fight continues between Pillman & Batista, Okada throws Pillman out and fights alone with Batista and Pillman does the same to Batista. Batista pauses on the outside as Okada & Pillman are taking lumps out of each other until he runs in and takes both of them down with a double shoulder block.

Notable Moments – Batista targets Okada's back at every opportunity; knees to the back, throwing Okada into the barricade. The biggest attack was a Batista Bomb on the outside. Pillman throws caution to the wind on a number of occasions including a leap over the top rope taking out both men.

Finish – Okada is building up steam and hits a German Suplex on Pillman which sends him rolling out of the ring. He and Batista are exchanging strikes, Batista knees Okada's stomach and whips him off the ropes into a Spinebuster. Batista is feeling it and takes in the mixed reaction from the crowd before picking Okada up. He puts Okada between his legs and mocks Okada by doing his signature pose before lifting him up for a Batista Bomb..but Okada fights back with punches to the head and gets dropped onto his feet. Batista swings for Okada who ducks & grabs Batista's wrist. Okada swings for a lariat but Batista ducks, Okada kept the wrist locked as he ran behind Batista. Batista swings back an elbow which Okada dodges, turns and swings Batista into a Rainmaker. He covers Batista. 1....2.... Brian Pillman breaks the pinfall with a split second to spare, he DDTs Okada and kicks him to the outside. He drags Batista to the rope and steps onto the apron. He reaches through the rope to pick Batista up slowly, pushes a groggy Batista backwards and jumps for Air Pillman which connects stiffly. Pillman hooks the leg. 1....2.....3. Brian Pillman has become a two-time MWA World Heavyweight Champion

Winner: Brian Pillman

Fallout/Booking Reasons

Okada vs Pillman vs Batista - Pillman wins back the title he never lost but is now a completely fresh heel champion, something MWA has never closed WrestleRama with before. He pinned Batista because Batista would be leaving for Guardians of the Galaxy 2 and Okada will be making a charge as lead babyface in the company. Pillman has destroyed everything Okada had built for – he finally got his title shot and lost without involvement, he brought in a group from Japan and led them to dominance only for Pillman to tear them apart. I would have Pillman vs Okada dominate most of the year.

Omega & Ibushi vs MCMG - The only title to be retained. MCMG will get another chance and win as Omega and Ibushi's team fails to recover from Omega's actions. Omega will attempt to overthrow Okada in his newly weakened state but Ibushi will stand by the former King Lion. Omega will become increasingly erratic, adopt a comic book villain persona and will never get over what he sees as Ibushi's ultimate betrayal.

Hardy vs Fandango vs RVD - I had planned on this just being RVD & Hardy but never expected to get Fandango in the final round. I hope all 3 of them would come out of this match looking good and Fandango winning would keep his momentum going after debuting. RVD can get involved in the main event scene while Hardy would keep up the chase for the IC title.

Team Graham vs Team Maddox - Maddox has only been the owner for 4 weeks so more upheaval is unnecessary. With a team like the Andersons picking up the win it neither overpushes Maddox nor makes Superstar look like a geek. I wanted to carry on the strong booking of the Anderson I had last year and think this would position them as the perfect opponents to take on Motor City Machine Guns down the line. If Graham ever returned he would use Maddox tapping out as his reason.

Miz vs Sandow - I wanted to do so much more with this feud but unfortunately didn't get the chance. Their feud would continue but I felt it was more important to further The Miz's heat here as he could potentially carry on feuding with Batista. Sandow can earn his win after being booked strongly for a number of months.

Junior Invitational - I had wanted to do something like this since the beginning, couldn't believe it when WWE announced something similar for the network. I had planned on it being bigger but towards the end I needed Studd, Bundy & the Andersons more. Caristico had to win here as he would be the only one definitely staying on the roster afterwards and would likely make his way to an Intercontinental title shot.

Kushida vs Shelley - Shelley pulling double duty gave MCMG the perfect excuse for losing later on but winning here gives him a strong showing overall. They were originally planned for the Junior Invitational but I needed more singles matches once the IC match became a triple threat.

John Laurinaitis and Xavier Woods are in the GM’s office. Johnny is pacing around and looks nervous.

Johnny Ace: That meeting went okay?

Woods: Absolutely, everything without a hitch!

Bart Gunn enters, barging past Woods

Gunn:Outta my way you pipsqueak! All set for tonight boss? It’s shaping up to be good!

Johnny: Hey, leave the kid alone! Thanks to him, everything is in place for tonight!

Gunn: Oh, is that so?!? (He makes to leave) I’ll just float around in that case, take it easy…KID.

(He barges past Xavier again, who looks a little disgruntled.)

Woods: I’m telling you sir, all that’s left to do is just sit back and relax.

Johnny: Good, I hope so.

Porallo: You’re all very welcome here tonight! I would like to thank 10 Years for contributing that haunting version of Wasteland for our theme this evening! We are in the Windy City, Chicago for our special event…HCE’s Cheddarama! The night where we truly put on a show!

Burke: Chi-Town baby!! This crowd is rocking, and I’m sure they can’t wait to see what we have in store!

Mortell: If I were a betting man, I would say most people are here for the meeting of Rollins & Steamboat. First time ever, and man are they in for a treat!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZbsxTbxIjCQ

Sean O’Haire and Mike Sharpe stride their way down the ramp, where the crowd explodes chanting “SHARPE! SHARPE! SHARPE!” Sharpe waves to the crowd, while O’Haire just remains motionless, walking to the ring with purpose. This is contrasted by the large figures of D’Lo Brown, Godfather and Mark Henry who walk sullenly to the ring to a torrent of boos, with the Chicago crowd chanting obscenities at the men.

They get into the ring and square up to the two men, who do not back down whatsoever. In contrast to the other four, Iron Mike looks noticeably uncomfortable at having to tango, but he doesn’t let that deter him, as he shows all his resilience by laughing in the trio’s faces! This gets the crowd behind him even more!

D’Lo Brown, The Godfather & Mark Henry vs ‘Iron’ Mike Sharpe & Sean O’Haire

The bell rings, and it looks like D’Lo Brown starting off against Mike. They lock up, only for Mike to surprisingly get the upper hand! He throws him off the ropes and hits a wicked clothesline, which the crowd cheers for! He’s getting fired up and takes a run at D’Lo, only for him to duck the second clothesline. His momentum takes him over to the other turnbuckle, where Mark Henry hits him with a fierce right hand, knocking him to the ground. D’Lo tags in Godfather, and they both work on Sharpe with a double suplex! Godfather covers, but only gets a 2 count. He tags back in D’Lo, who hits a right, a left and then hits Sharpe with an elbow. Covers again, but still just a two count. The crowd are willing on Sharpe, as D’Lo gets him into an Abdominal Stretch. O’Haire is clapping his hands willing his partner to get the tag! Sharpe manages to reverse, and hits a desperation DDT on D’Lo.

Both men are now crawling to their corners, and Sharpe is inching desperately, almost…

But O’Haire takes away his hand and drops down to the ground at the last second! Sharpe has a confused look on his face, as O’Haire looks him in the eye and shouts “This was never going to work, I’m not telling you anything that you don’t already know!”


Porallo: Can anyone say that they are surprised by this?!?

Burke: My man Sean doesn’t just hang with anybody, you’ve got to be worthy of him! This clown Sharpe never was!

O’Haire walks back up the ramp to boos from the crowd. Sharpe is left all alone, and can only crawl back to his feet. As he does, he is met by Mark Henry who has been tagged in, who clubs him to the ground again. He hoists him up, and drives him to the ground with the World’s Strongest Slam. Again, he simply puts a hand on his face as the ref counts the 1….2…..3.

Winners:

D’Lo Brown, The Godfather & Mark Henry

Porallo: The crowd are certainly not happy with that!

Mortell: And rightly so! A despicable show of cowardice from O’Haire!

Burke: Hold up a second, the guy was just sticking to his principles! And I certainly didn’t see him being pinned in the middle of the ring like a chump?!? So quit whining you two!

Ricky Steamboat is backstage with an interviewer, Kalisto Flockhart. She asks him how he feels about the main event tonight, in what is sure to be a brutal contest. Ricky looks back coldly, advising that he will be surprised if either of them are able to walk out of the arena unassisted tonight. With that, he walks off, leaving Flockhart bemused.

Porallo: Listen to this ovation for Roderick Strong! Finally back after being out for the last couple weeks, caused by our current Television Champion!

Mortell: Damn right Eric! Peter Morton damn near took his head off with a golf club en route to winning Strong’s title, and he’s been out up until last week!

Burke: Wah wah wah, such crybabies! In this business all is fair!

Strong gets into the ring and poses on each turnbuckle for the fans, with each section cheering louder than the last. He runs the ropes while he’s waiting for his opponent to come out.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a-bd5j18N0s

The crowd erupts into an echo of boos, as Morton comes out dressed in white slacks, and a green jacket, which on the back has emblazoned on it “ALL-TIME GREATEST”. Carrying a putter over his shoulder, Carl Collins greets the crowd sarcastically, as they strut down the ramp and into the ring. Strong never takes his eyes off them, as Morton gets undressed and holds the TV title high above his head, taunting Strong.

HCE Television Championship – Roderick Strong vs Peter Morton

The match begins with the two locking up and attempting to gain the upper hand in the middle of the ring. Morton appears the stronger, and pushes Strong against the ropes, only for him to duck his clothesline and pause against the opposite ropes. The crowd start clapping for what they know will be an enthralling contest. They lock up again, only this time it is Strong who gets the upper hand, going around the back of Morton and getting a leg take down, and then gripping him in a ground head lock. Quickly, Morton desperately puts his right foot backwards onto the bottom rope, forcing the ref to break the hold. As he does this, Morton rolls out of the ring in order to get a breather.

Burke: Great strategy by Pete, keeping Roderick second guessing!

Porallo: What? By running away at the first sign of trouble!

Strong follows him out of the ring, bypassing Carl Collins who throws his hands up in the air to protest his innocence for the bout. Picking up Morton by the hair, he drags him towards the steel steps, and bounces his head off them once, and then twice for good measure! The ref however is focused on Collins however, who is showing him the benefits of a long grip with the putter as opposed to the conventional short grip. While this distraction is going on, Morton is able to hit a low blow with his heel, and gain the upper hand. He throws Strong into the barricade, and poses to the fans before hitting a pretty running knee lift. He rolls him back into the ring, and hits the cover for the 1…2….kickout!!!

Morton has a wry smile to himself, and rolls him over. He takes a run back and launching himself into the air, hits a Carribbean Cannonball, or as he can be heard saying after he gets up…the rechristened ‘Club Head Cannonball’. He again goes for the lateral press, as the ref counts….1….2……at the last second, Strong gets the shoulder up!

Morton looks slightly frustrated now, as the crowd starts cheering for Strong to get back into it. Morton engages in a rest hold, as Strong appears to be fading. The referee holds up Strong’s hand, and lets it drop, but Strong keeps it upright, he’s still in the match! The crowd starts cheering as he gets back to his feet, and starts hitting desperation rights and lefts to the face of Morton. Rebounding off the ropes, he hits a huge jumping lariat, as both men are knocked to the ground. As they get upright again, he hits a beautiful drop kick, which sends Morton to the ground again, and he follows it up with a discus elbow smash. He covers Morton, 1…..2………..thr, no! Morton just about got the shoulder up! Strong senses that the end could be near, and he lines him up for the Death by Roderick, but Collins is on the apron and manages to pull Morton down, who rolls away! The ref goes over to remonstrate with Collins, and as his back is turned, Morton shunts Strong in the stomach with the putter, and then follows up with a DDT! He covers Strong and throws the putter out of the ring as the ref turns around for the 1…..2……….NO! SHOULDER UP BY STRONG!

Mortell: What a match! Come on Roderick!

Morton cannot believe this and starts giving out to the ref. As he is doing this, he does not notice Strong slowly getting back to his feet in the centre of the ring. He turns around, and Strong launches himself onto Morton’s shoulders to hit a hurricanrana….but Morton counters by falling to the ground, and putting Strong’s shoulders to the mat with his head between his legs. He attempts to put his feet on the bottom rope for leverage but can’t quite seem to get there, until Carl Collins pulls them on and holds them there with the trusty putter! The ref doesn’t see this as Strong’s body position is obstructing his view, and he counts the pin attempt; 1….2………….3!

Winner:

AND STIIIIIIIIIIL HCE TELEVISION CHAMPION…PETER MORTON

Morton rolls out of the ring, as Collins brings him his championship, holding it aloft in the air. They celebrate wildly with delight, as Strong looks despondent in the ring. He knows what has happened, but can’t bring himself to argue the decision with the ref.

Porallo: Shameful! And look, he’s celebrating as if he dominated this contest!

Burke: It just goes to show, that for all the talent in the world that you may have, you need a world class caddy to help you achieve greatness! And that’s just what Carl Collins is, world class!

Morton and Collins are up the ramp now, and again turn and hold the championship aloft to the dismay of the fans. They taunt Strong one last time, before they walk to the back.

Antonio Inoki & Tatsumi Fujinami walk out to the ring to a huge ovation from the fans. They acknowledge most of the crowd they encounter and shake hands on their way.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T9gkYN6dLgQ

MNM walk out to a mixed reaction, given Morrison and Mercury’s fairly high level of popularity. Melina enters the ring with her trademark splits spot, which gets a good reaction including a lot of wolf-whistling. They take off their titles and hand them to the ref, who holds them up into the air to signal the start of the contest.

Porallo: This match was borne out of MNM’s jealousy of Inoki & Fujinami, who were establishing themselves as the premier tag team here in HCE. They’d hit them with sneak attacks most weeks leading up to tonight.

Burke: Are you on drugs? Those Shinto wackos were making it clear they were coming after their championships, so they did what any champions worth their salt would do…assert their dominance! Such sanctimonious bullsh*t!

HCE Tag Team Championship – MNM vs Antonio Inoki & Tatsumi Fujinami

Inoki and Mercury start, where they lock up several times with neither quite getting the upper hand. A shoulder block from Inoki grounds Mercury, and Inoki gets to work. After having him down for a few minutes, he tags in Fujinami. Fujinami’s rough style gets the crowd going, as he chops Mercury incessantly, until a distraction from Melina causes MNM to gain control, as Morrison is tagged in. He hits some nice looking dropkicks, and covers for a 2 count. He tags back in Mercury, who hits a nice snap DDT, again only for a 2 count. The crowd are willing Fujinami to make the tag, and he keeps having a lot of near misses as MNM remain in control.

Mercury has a rest hold applied, and Fujinami just about gets to his feet in a great feat of strength. He hoists Mercury up, and hits a shuddering press slam, and falls to his feet at the same time. Struggling to the corner, he reaches out….and MAKES THE TAG! Inoki is in!

Inoki clears house with wicked clotheslines, and is getting the crowd fired up. He hits a diving knee drop on Mercury, and measures him for a perfect Enzugiri, covers for the 1…..2…..and Melina pulls the ref out of the ring, to huge boos from the crowd! Inoki follows her out, and she slaps him across the face! Inoki follows this up by restraining her, only for Morrison to hit a vicious elbow from behind. Rolling him back into the ring, him and Mercury hoist him up for the Snapshot…only for Inoki to counter with a falling DDT to Mercury, with the momentum of the reversal pushing Morrison back towards the ropes….only for Fujinami to pull it down on the outside causing both men to collide with one another! The two begin brawling, while the two legal men…Inoki & Mercury remain inside! Inoki is feeling it now…and hoists Mercury up for his bridging fallaway slam, with some mustard…right to the canvas! In the middle of the ring, it’s all clear as he covers and the ref counts the 1……2…………3!!!!!!!!!


Winners:

AAAAANNNNND NNNNNNNEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWW TAG TEAM CHAMPIOOOOOOONSSSSSS….ANTONIO INOKI & TATSUMI FUJINAMI!!!!

Inoki jumps up and down in the ring, as joined by Fujinami, they are presented with the tag team championships!!!!


Porallo: What a moment for these two legends of wrestling, they’ve done it! After all the sneak attacks and underhanded moves, they’ve reached the top of the tag team mountain!

Mortell: I know these two a long time, and I cannot describe how much this means to them…

Burke: When push came to shove, they got the job done. And you can’t argue with that!

As Inoki & Fujinami walk to the back, they see an unexpected sight; the body of Bart Gunn lying face down on the ground, covered in a pool of his own blood. It is here that they are met by John Laurinaitis who is walking down the hallway at the same moment.

Johnny: What the hell? You two did this?!?!?

Fujinami: No no no! No us! We…match, we…no.1

Johnny: There’s not a chance that I’m having my own wrestlers injure my staff any longer! The two of you can celebrate elsewhere, because I want you out of my arena for the rest of the night!

Inoki: But…but….Mister Ace…but….

Johnny: YOU HEARD ME….GET OUT!!!!

The crowd can be heard booing, as Inoki & Fujinami resign themselves to leaving. They can be seen going out the exit, while Johnny looks on, wondering what will he do with his badly injured head of security.

Buddy Rogers and his crew are in the locker room, getting ready for the intercontinental title match with Jay Lethal which is up next.


Buddy: We’ve got to stick together tonight. My intercontinental title is on the line, so we cannot afford to be making any mistakes…DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR??

(Buddy is really focusing his attention on Shelton Benjamin as he says this)

Benjamin: Yes sir.

Buddy: Well there had better be. Because you my man, have been nothing but a disappointment to all of us. I am the intercontinental champion. Terkay is one of the most highly respected MMA competitors on the planet. Rich is going to be the future of this industry. But you? You? You have been nothing but a piece of crap under my boot. Because of YOU…I was eliminated from the Battle Royal for the World title. Because of YOU…I now have to put my Intercontinental title on the line. Because of YOU…my life has been made more difficult. Only for Terkay and Rich talking me down the other day…I was strongly considering beating the hell out of you and kicking you out of this organisation. In fact, I don’t even know why I listened to them. You have some serious grovelling and making up to do, because if things don’t change soon, you’ll have to punch your card somewhere else. DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR?

Benjamin:……yes sir.

Buddy: Good…because one more mistake, and you can kiss your ass goodbye. In fact, I do not want you accompanying us tonight. You can stay back here. Come on guys, it’s show time.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3HVSZirKzV4

Jay Lethal walks out to cheers from the crowd. He holds his hands up to his ear to let it all wash in, and then struts down to the ring.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vegHvLCDJK0

A diamond spotlight once more appears, but it is noticeable that there is no Shelton Benjamin present with Buddy. The crowd boos the trio, but all Buddy does is shout “Shut up” at anyone who engages with him. He removes his jacket once in the ring, and slicks his hair back as the title is removed from around his waist.

HCE Intercontinental Championship – Buddy Rogers vs Jay Lethal

Lethal runs towards Buddy, who immediately puts himself between the ropes to signal a break. This happens 3-4 times, before Buddy leaves the ring to compose himself. The crowd boos all this time, as Buddy simply puts his hands up in the air in a show of confidence. Walking back up the steps, he directs Terkay and Swann to get up on either side of the apron to surround Lethal. They then fake getting in, which enables Buddy to attack Jay from behind.

Burke: It’s all too easy for the true Nature Boy!!!

Mortell: Give it a rest!

Buddy stomps on Jay, while the crowd boos at the underhandedness involved in him getting control of the match. He picks him up and throws him down with a bodyslam, flexing and preening after he does this. He puts one foot on the chest of Jay for a cover, which Jay kicks out of at 1. He raises his hands as if to say ‘Fair enough’ and begins hammering away at Jay again. However, Jay blocks these attacks, and begins hitting back with rights of his own, to the crowd’s delight. He hits a strong European uppercut, before throwing a nice hip toss, followed by a cartwheel followed by a dropkick to Buddy’s face. He starts wooooing, which the crowd love and respond with WOO’s of their own!!!

At this point, Terkay & Swann get up on the apron again only this time, the ref has had enough and gestures for them to leave ringside! The crowd cheers loudly as they both remonstrate with the ref. He is having none of it, and again instructs them to leave. They turn and walk up the ramp, while the crowd begins chanting “NA NA NA NA! NA NA NA NA! HEY HEY HEY….GOODBYE!”

Porallo: With Lethal’s friends Inoki & Fujinami unceremoniously ejected from the arena tonight by our general manager, it’s good that the odds here have been evened up! Those two were going to cause nothing but trouble anyhow!

Burke: They are merely Buddy’s valets. If he needs sweat to be wiped off his brow, or given a swig of water, that’s what they are there for. You can’t expect the longest reigning Intercontinental champion in HCE history to have to do these things himself?

Mortell: I reckon if they ever find different jobs, you’ll slot in no problem loverboy!

Buddy is incensed by seeing his two crew members leaving, and it is now truly a fair contest. The two begin hammering away at each other, and hit each other alternately with knife edge chops, each one bringing about a WOO from the crowd! Jay gains the upper hand, and hits Buddy with a beautiful release dragon suplex, and goes up top waiting for Buddy to stir. As he gets up and turns, Jay jumps to hit his diving leg lariat, but at the last second Buddy pushes the ref into his path, knocking him out cold. As Jay gets back up, Buddy is lying in wait and hits a wicked low blow!

The crowd boos, as Buddy is now firmly in control. He gestures to the fans and makes the title motion around his waist, suggesting that his status as champion is going nowhere. He picks up Jay once more, going for a piledriver….however Jay reverses and tosses Buddy over his shoulder to the canvas. With all his energy effectively depleted, he falls to his knees trying to desperately gain some recovery. It is at this point, the crowd begin cheering, as Shelton Benjamin makes his way down the ramp.

Burke: That idiot! He’s not supposed to be here, he was given strict orders by Naitch to stay in the back!

Shelton enters just as Buddy is getting back up. With Buddy and Jay both just about up and standing, a crucial standoff occurs. Buddy begins screaming at Shelton to finish off Jay quickly, as the ref is starting to come to. Shelton lines up Jay….ONLY TO TURN AND NAIL BUDDY WITH A SUPER KICK!!! The crowd cheers wild with delight to see the Nature Boy finally get what’s been coming to him!

Burke: NO!! YOU IDIOT! WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?!?

Porallo: I’d call it payback for the way that Buddy has been treating him this whole time! You can’t treat people like dirt and expect to get away with it!

The crowd are cheering now as Buddy is out cold. Jay is back to his feet, but before he can register what has gone on, Shelton suddenly turns and plants him to the mat with a T-Bone suplex. He looks torn and frustrated, but eventually after a second of thought, he drags Buddy towards Lethal and places him on top of him for the cover. He rolls out of the ring and back up the ramp to boos from the crowd, but it is quite evident that he is truly conflicted and not at ease with what he has done. The ref stirs and is surprised to see no action, but the two wrestlers fallen. The position sees Buddy pinning Lethal, and neither men are moving. The ref raises his hand in the air and counts the 1….2….3.

Winner:

AAAAAANNNNNND STTTTTIIIIIIIIIIILLLLL INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPION….BUDDY ROGERS!!!!!

Porallo: After all that, he still allows that snake Buddy Rogers to walk out of here with his championship intact! A very lucky escape!

Mortell: The Nature Boy lives to fight another day, but it was clear to see how uncomfortable Shelton was doing it! He obviously felt that incurring the wrath of Buddy and being kicked out of the crew just wasn’t worth turning on him!

Burke: Nonsense. He fell in line because Buddy is the greatest leader and wrestler of a generation. And now, he continues to cement himself as the greatest Intercontinental champion in company history. What a fighter!

Lethal remains in the ring, while Buddy has slowly rolled to the outside. He is joined again by Terkay and Swann who have made their way out to the ring. They pick him up and together they carry him up the ramp with the title. Benjamin remains at the top, and they pat him on the back as they pass him. Benjamin again has a look of remorse on his face, but resigns himself as he turns and follows them back to the locker room.

Porallo: And now folks, it’s the one we’ve all been waiting for: The hotly anticipated first ever meeting of Seth Rollins and Ricky Steamboat. Throughout the past couple of weeks, Seth had been making claims that he was the deserving recipient of the World Heavyweight Championship, while saying that Ricky was a has been who did not deserve to be uttered in the same breath as himself.

Mortell: Yeah! And when you thought that was over the top, he proceeded to try and dismantle our entire roster until he got his way!

Porallo: This is true Stan. However, my objective side would have to admit that were it not for a suspect refereeing decision during our Battle Royal a few weeks ago, that Crystal Case and therefore a match with Ricky at Cheddarama, would have been Seth’s entitlement.

Burke: Thankfully somebody is willing to admit that this guy was screwed. Was he content to just accept that he was wronged? Hell no! He grabbed any possible opportunity he had and forced his way into the main event tonight, like a true champion would!

Porallo: In this case, he blindsided Ricky Jr, Steamboat’s son, backstage a couple weeks back. By having him in a precarious position, he triggered Ricky’s paternal instincts. With his heart ruling his head, he agreed to the main event match with Seth tonight, with the title on the line.

Mortell: And what did he do when this happened? He broke his word and almost killed Ricky Jr!! A disgrace!

Burke: He got the job done Stan! I thought a man of your standing would appreciate that in this business, it’s results that matter. And the result of that is that he has a 50/50 chance of walking out tonight as our World Heavyweight Champion!

Porallo: To update you all on that situation, Ricky Jr is still in hospital in Cleveland, where he hasn’t moved from for the last 2-3 weeks. He has suffered a severe concussion, has fractured two small vertebrae in his spinal cord and also some internal bleeding. You’ve got to wonder guys, will this fuel Ricky tonight or will it simply cause him to take his eye off the ball?!?
Mortell: I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. You do not want to be in the crosshairs of a vengeful Ricky Steamboat. He’s out for blood tonight, and I can’t see Seth being able to fend off the onslaught that he is undoubtedly going to bring.

Burke: And that is precisely the reason why I think the opposite. When you’re emotionally motivated, you can’t be 100% focused on the task at hand, in this case, winning the premier title in this industry. Steamboat will be divided, and it will be to his detriment. Seth walks out as the champ tonight.

Porallo: You’ve heard it from our experts, we are now ready to get underway. So here we go!

Seth strolls out to the ramp, with a huge grin on his face. Wearing a blood red outfit, he embodies the man who has laid waste to several wrestlers over the past few weeks. While he has received good reactions from the crowd, tonight it’s a different story. Against universal favourite Steamboat, a chorus of boos emanates from the fans, filling the whole arena. Seth seems to enjoy this, which only spurs him on more with laughter and wider grins. He enters the ring, and poses on the turnbuckle, with the boos getting louder as he raises his arms. As he jumps down, he takes a look up toward the ceiling, where the HCE World Heavyweight Championship is hanging down from. He looks out around the ring, and various shaped ladders can be seen both set up and folded on the floor.

There is a palpable tension as a group of masked Shaolin monks appear on the ramp. Engaging in a ritual prayer before interpretive Buddhist dancing, they build up to another monk beside a gong. As it smashes, it coincides with Ricky’s theme starting. Suddenly, smoke appears in the middle, and up through the floor arrives Ricky, to a deafening ovation, the loudest of the night. He is dressed in a light samurai-like robe, and can be seen high-fiving fans, all while not taking his eye off of Rollins. He ghosts down the ramp, and slides underneath. Rollins can be seen laughing at him as he silently takes off his top. He takes a moment to look up at the title hanging from the ceiling, but quickly is back focused on Seth again.

Announcer: The following is a LADDER MATCH…AND IT IS FOR THE HCE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP!!!! INTRODUCING FIRST: FROM DAVENPORT, IOWA…WEIGHING IN AT 217 POUNDS…SEEEEEEEEEEETH ROOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLIINNSSSSSSSSSSSS!

(The crowd boos loudly)

And, his opponent…FROM WEST POINT, NEW YORK…WEIGHING IN AT 235 POUNDS….RRRRRIIIIICKY THE DRAGOOOOOOOOON STEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMBOOOOATTT!

(The crowd cheers hugely, with the roars becoming almost deafening)

The bell rings, and straight away both men launch themselves at each other. They hammer away with rights and lefts simultaneously to the huge approval from the crowd. This leads to a spot of take downs and lock ups, with both wrestlers managing to wriggle free of the other. This stalemate draws cheers from the crowd, and loud clapping.

At the 5 minute mark, Steamboat clotheslines Seth over the top rope to the outside. Seth scrambles to the barricade to try to get back up, but is met by a suicide dive by Steamboat, crashing them both into the railing. Steamboat attempts to charge at Rollins, but he sidesteps, resulting in Ricky crashing into the steel steps with a thud! Rollins seizes control based on this, and picking Ricky up, runs towards the railing, unleashing a buckle bomb into the barricade. Wasting no time, he pushes a ladder into the ring, and attempts to set it up.

Burke: Seth wasting no time here! He’s out to get this done early!

Porallo: Come on Ricky!

Seth begins climbing, but only manages to get to the 4th rung, when he feels a tug on his leg. Steamboat has somehow gotten back into the ring, and tries to disrupt him from taking the title. Seth falls down the ladder, and lands on his feet, where they begin punching each other again. A huge right from Ricky leaves Seth reeling, and Ricky proceeds to knock him down with a knee to the back. Seth is prone in the ring, and Ricky bends over him before locking in his patented double chickenwing submission. While there are no submissions, Ricky doesn’t care as he knows Seth can’t get a rope break, and he knows it will inflict as much pain as possible. He has it locked in tight, and the crowd are baying for Seth’s blood, as he screams in agony.


Porallo: Ricky is letting out all his frustration here! I’m sure his son is on his mind as he takes all his anger out on Seth, the man who severely injured Ricky Jr!

Mortell: I told you guys, a vengeful Ricky Steamboat is anyone’s worst nightmare!

Ricky eventually releases the hold, and rolls out of the ring. Checking by the commentator’s table, he folds up a steel chair to the delight of the fans, and rolls back inside. He unleashes a litany of chair shots on Seth’s back, before deliberately targeting the injured arm from the chickenwing earlier. A thought then occurs to him, as he places Seth’s arm into the chair, and goes up to the top turnbuckle.

Porallo: If this connects, he could shatter his arm!

Mortell: No different to when Seth tried to shatter his son’s neck!

Steamboat climbs up to the top rope, and measures up Seth’s arm. He leaps…only for Seth to roll his arm away at the last moment. In one fluid motion, he swings his arm which has the chair still in place, for it to connect with Ricky’s skull. A loud “OOOOOHHH” can be heard from the crowd, as Ricky falls to the ground.

Burke: Wow, what a move! Quick as a cat!

Seth removes the chair from his arm, and throws it away, however as he does, he can be seen wincing and holding his arm, with Steamboat having done a real number on it. He is effectively now left with one good arm, making his task more arduous. He waits for Ricky to stir slightly, before almost kicking his head off with the Avada Kedavra. Ricky rolls out of the ring in pain, as Seth follows.

We’re at the 15 minute mark now, and Seth rolls Ricky back into the ring. He is clearly subscribing to the mantra of beating the hell out of his opponent before attempting to scale the ladder, as he lays punches into Steamboat. He lifts him up and hits a suplex. Instantly, he’s on him again as he stomps on his back. He sets up the ladder, and attempts to scale it, only out of the corner of his eye he sees Ricky getting up. Quickly, he rushes over to him and throws him over the top rope, before turning his attention back to the ladder. However, Ricky to the delight of the fans has skinned the cat, and propels himself back over the ropes. He climbs one rung lower than Seth, and with a huge push lifts him onto his shoulders. Standing back down, he turns and drives Seth down with a huge electric chair drop. The fans sound their appreciation, and a “THIS IS AWESOME” chant breaks out around the arena. It is Ricky’s turn now to scale the ladder, and he makes it all the way to the top! He reaches desperately for the belt, but he has to take a moment to get his breath back, as he puts his head down and pauses on the ladder. This is all the time Seth needs, as he is climbing the ladder on the other side! He hits a right (BOO!), while Steamboat retaliates with a left (YEAHHH!). Seth counters with a headbutt (BOO!), while Ricky hits a headbutt of his own (YEAHHH!). Seth hits two more headbutts in quick succession, which cause Ricky to once again need to catch his breath. Seth grabs his neck, and puts Ricky’s arm over his shoulder.

Porallo: No way Seth! No way! You can’t! It’s too risky!

Burke: Gamechanger time coming right up!

Seth is trying to lift Ricky, but after the intensity so far, and his injured arm, he is finding it difficult. He can be heard screaming in agony, and with one last push, he lifts Ricky over his head for a huge superplex off the top of the ladder….which he rolls through from and manages to hit a Falcon Arrow!!! The crowd put their allegiances aside for a moment, and can be heard chanting simultaneously “LET’S GO STEAMBOAT…LET’S GO SETH! LET’S GO STEAMBOAT….LET’S GO SETH!”

Porallo: Only here at HCE can you see this kind of athleticism, what a match these two are putting on!

Burke: This is absolutely sensational!!!

Ricky rolls out of the ring, as Seth is on the ground desperately trying to get some air back into his lungs. It takes a couple of minutes for this to happen, as he needs to grab the rope with his one remaining good arm in order to prop himself up. Again, it is notable how he is writhing in pain, and any free chance he gets, he lets his arm hang limp in order to minimise the use. He struggles towards the ladder once more, and takes a small break every step he climbs up. As he gets to the second last rung, we can see Steamboat coming up onto the apron. Launching himself, he springboards onto the top rope, and leaps onto the same rung on the other side. From there, they begin punching each other incessantly again, as their will to win is matched by the other. Ricky reaches desperately for the belt, but is only able to brush off the gold. Seth momentarily drops down to the confusion of everybody, but we then see why as he pushes the ladder back towards Ricky in order for him to fall. He is quick to react to this, as simultaneously, he leaps over the top of the ladder, and hits his diving crossbody onto Seth!!!!

Mortell: All the stops are being pulled out tonight, what a main event!

Burke: Even though you are old, I agree with you wholeheartedly!

The crowd are now chanting for Ricky, as he struggles to his feet. He stomps on Seth a couple of times as he pushes him under the bottom rope. He rolls out with him aswell, as we now come to the 25 minute mark. He picks up a ladder left outside, and props it up between the ring apron and the commentator’s table. Picking up Seth, he brings him over towards the ladder, and puts his arm over his shoulder. He goes for the suplex, but Seth somehow manages to reverse out of it in midair as he front flips over the ladder, landing on his feet. As he lands, he kicks the ladder, which hits Ricky in the face! Ricky is reeling now, and Seth smells blood. He pulls Ricky over towards the steel steps, and pulls them towards him. He places Steamboats head on the steps, and looks malevolently over at the commentator’s table. Taking the cover off the table, he stands up on top of it, as the crowd roars expectantly!

Porallo: This would surely be game over! I can’t bear to watch!

Mortell: This is it, this is it!!!

Burke: Come on Seth!

Seth takes a breath, and while holding his arm, takes a step back. He pushes himself forward and leaps off the table towards the steel steps. His foot connects with the prone Ricky Steamboat’s head, driving it into the steel steps, for a wicked Curb Stomp! The crowd ooohhs and aaahhhs, as they appreciate the severity of the move. However, as he completes the move, his momentum cannot stop him from hitting into the steel post! Both men are laid out for the time being, however the smart man will tell you that Steamboat’s race could well be run.

As we approach the 35 minute mark, Seth is now trying to get to his feet as he rolls back into the ring. With the ladder in place, he starts crawling up the rungs, clutching his arm which is still feeling the effects of the steel chair. The crowd is a mixture of boos and excitement, as he wills himself through the pain up to the top of the ladder. He looks around and makes a reach for the belt, but mistakenly hits it, causing it to rock wildly back and forth away from him. As he attempts to regain his composure, a loud roar can be heard from the crowd as what looks like a security guard wearing a baseball cap jumps the barricade and enters the ring. As Seth is dragged down from the ladder, the guard’s baseball cap falls to reveal the attacker as none other than…



MVP!!!


Burke:Now what the hell is that guy doing here?!?!?!?!?

Porallo: He’s here to settle a score, when Rollins took him out a few weeks ago!! He’s here for revenge after being screwed!

MVP starts hammering away at Rollins, to the delight of the crowd. Steamboat is still only moving very slowly on the outside as this is occurring. MVP throws Rollins into the corner, and follows it up with a huge Player’s Boot, leaving him reeling. MVP, then picks him up and hits him with the Playmaker, to roars from the crowd. As he hits it, he turns around to see Ricky Steamboat just getting back into the ring. They begin to eyeball each other, and start clenching their fists. They go toward each other to begin fighting, when suddenly…THE LIGHTS GO OUT!

The crowd are perplexed by this as they are wondering what is going on. After what feels like a minute, the sound of African drums can be heard reverberating through the arena…

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cp6GCw2JbnE

As the lights come back on, Steamboat and MVP look to see that they are not alone. In the ring with them are the figures of…The Godfather, D’Lo Brown…and Mark Henry.

Mortell: What are they doing?? These guys have no business being here!!

Straight away, Mark Henry hits a huge clothesline on MVP, while D’Lo & The Godfather work on Steamboat, pummelling him in the corner. The crowd are booing this hugely, as Seth remains motionless in the opposite corner. Mark Henry is just taunting MVP who has truly had his lights turned out, and locks him into a huge bearhug. After a minute, MVP’s body is lifeless, and is just thrown on the ground, rolling out of the ring. Steamboat shows some resilience, and manages to knock down Godfather, but D’Lo hits a kick, which stuns him into Mark Henry’s arms for a World’s Strongest Slam. Steamboat is now in the same physical state as MVP, combined with a brutal match, and can now no longer stand. He falls to the ground and is left helpless near the turnbuckle, being attended to by a referee, both surrounded by the three men. As they stay close to him, Seth Rollins is getting to his feet, and seeing what has happened, he has a huge smile on his face. He picks up the folded ladder, and attempts to place it underneath the belt.

Burke: Ingenious! Absolutely ingenious!

Mortell: That sneak had a plan B this whole time!

While unfolding the ladder, Godfather, D’Lo & Henry turn around to see Seth starting to climb. He gives them a smile and mouths the words ‘Thank you’. The men smile back at him, only to start clubbing him on the back and bringing him down also! Their attack on Rollins is more violent than the Steamboat and MVP, as D’Lo picks up the ladder. With Godfather holding Rollins, D’Lo charges at him until his face meets the steel of the ladder. Placing the ladder on the ground, they then give Rollins to Henry, who plants him into the ladder with another World’s Strongest Slam. With Seth lying precariously on the ladder still, he then bounces off the ropes and hits a huge splash, leaving Rollins writhing in agony. It is at this point in time, that a fourth man appears on the ramp…



Xavier Woods.

Woods: Good evening ladies and gentlemen, I hope you are all enjoying the proceedings tonight at Cheddarama, especially this SPECTACULAR main event! (Crowd is booing heavily) I’m so sorry for it to have to come to a premature end, but there are a few things that my brothers and I would like to advise you all of at this time.

Porallo: Brothers? Who is he on about?

Woods: You see…for the past couple of weeks, my brothers and I have been downtrodden, mocked, taken for granted. We were just expected to be the cogs in the wheel, the ones who would do what we were told to do just because somebody was more important than us. Well TONIGHT, THAT IS COMING TO AN END! Look at the ring before you, 3 of our top wrestlers, decimated and victimised! This is just the beginning. We have finally seen the light, we have seen that we are not a group of people can just be marginalised and treated as second class. We are not just a group. We are the nation…OF DOMINATION!

And to thank the kind soul who showed us how we could rebirth ourselves into our life of dominance, we have paved the way for him to reach his destiny. BEHOLD!!!!!!!

Xavier, and all the members in the ring suddenly kneel and bow. As the crowd remains loud, it is cut off by the music playing on the titantron…

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZbsxTbxIjCQ

The figure of Sean O’Haire appears on the ramp, smiling and laughing. He looks upon Xavier and walks past nodding. It is then apparent that what he is clutching in his hand is none other than the dented Crystal Case, as he makes his way to the ring with purpose.

Porallo: You have got to be kidding me?!? He can’t use that!!

Burke: The rules say it entitles the holder to a place in the title match at Cheddarama. This title match is still going on, and he sure looks like the holder of it right now to me Eric!!!

Porallo: But…bbbbutttt, this can’t be!

O’Haire enters the ring, where the three other members of the Nation have not moved from their kneeled position. He approaches a frightened referee, to inform him that he is cashing in the Crystal Case, in order to insert him into the match right now. The ref, too scared to do otherwise, accepts the case and re-rings the bell to signal that it is now a triple threat ladder match.
Sean makes sure the ladder is set into position, and begins to climb. The boos rain down as he is up the ladder in seconds. Godfather, D’Lo & Henry are still kneeled and motionless, as he slowly unhooks the title from the hanger and clutches it to his chest.

Winner:

and new HCE World Heavyweight Champion…Sean O’Haire

Burke: I’m shocked at what has gone on here, but you have to admit, this was quite a stunningly executed plan by Sean O’Haire. That is why he is the master manipulator!

Porallo: This is shocking! He’s stolen the title, STOLEN IT!!!

Mortell: And I presume John Laurinaitis was in on the whole damn thing to begin with aswell!!! What a stinker!

Porallo: As you can tell from our vociferous crowd, this has been an unforgettable night here at Cheddarama. We have lots of questions that remain unanswered, and to be honest I am not too sure if we will get them right away! From me, Eric Porallo along with Stan Mortell and Elijah Burke, we wish you a good night and until next time, take care from all of us at Hard Cheese Entertainment!

As this is being said, O’Haire has climbed down from the ladder with his title. He drapes it over his shoulder, as Woods has now entered the ring to join the other Nation members who are stood also. They line up either side of Sean, and with their heads bowed, raise their right fists up into the air. As the crowd continues to boo incessantly, their battle cry begins playing…

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZkKuNja5cQ

O’Haire finally raises his right fist as the music plays, and begins smiling while mouthing:

“We didn’t tell you anything, that you didn’t already know…”
