Re-cap of last week's events is shown:
The New Age Outlaws reformed after turning on their tag team partners R-Truth and Bart Gunn
Crash Holly defeated Greg "The Hammer" Valentine to become the Hardcore Champion, which he will defend 24/7, 365 days a year
Sheamus and Rikishi formed the all-Irish alliance and immediately targeted PWF Champion Hulk Hogan, who was saved by his old friend Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake
J.R. Hello and welcome to PWF Intensity. Tonight, I am joined on guest commentary by R-Truth!
R-Truth: And someone else too.
J.R.: Eh, yes, of course. Little Jimmy is here too. We are in my home city of Oklahoma, for what promises to be an action packed night.
R-Truth: Little Jimmy says that in the main event, Hulk Hogan gonna team up with Brutus Beefcake to fight Rikishi and Sheamus.
J.R.: Well, Little Jimmy's right, the Irish-Samoan Alliance out for revenge after Hogan defeated Rikishi to retain the PWF title last week.
PWF canteen is shown
JR: Well, ladies and gentlemnen earlier tonight, I got into an altercation myself, with Rikishi and Sheamus, in the staff canteen that was set up here.
Jim Ross is shown eating when suddenly he is approached by Rikishi and Sheamus.
Sheamus: Hey, fella.
JR: Hey guys, enjoying the food?
Sheamus (angry): Why is my dinner covered in Barbeque Sauce?
JR: Yeah, it's good right.
Sheamus: To be honest with ya fella, it tastes like ****e.
JR looks shocked.
Rikishi: Not just any barbeque sauce either, but the special low fat, no cholesteral, low carbs variety.
JR: The healthy option., its good for the competitors.
Rikishi: Do I look like someone who wants low-fat food.
JR: Well...
Rikishi: Then again, neither do you, J.R.
Sheamus: Haha yeah, Rikishi. JR makes you look like Michael Cole.
JR: Actually, I've lost a few pounds.
Sheamus: The only time you lost pounds was when you had a hole in your pocket in the UK.
JR is annoyed.
Sheamus: Look, your barbeque sauce tastes like piss, we don't want it on the menu, ok! Oklahoma should be ashamed of itself.
booooos
Sheamus feigns a punch which JR moves his ahead to avoid.
Sheamus and Rikishi laugh and both men walk off.
Next, Shane McMahon is shown in the ring. The crowd are cheering.
R-Truth: Somebody don't like your barbeque sauce, J.R.
J.R.: You know when I got my old WWE position of Vice-President of Talent Relations this week, I thought the first thing I had to do was sort out the unhealthy menu in the canteen. I worked hard on it and got it thrown back in my face. Rikishi and Sheamus are pathetic.
Shane-O-Mac: You know every time Jim Ross has come to Oklahoma my father has humiliated him. He's had to kiss Dad's ass, he's got fired, got drafted to the second show, all right here in his hometown. All after many years of loyalty and great announcing. So to show that I am not the same as my father, I want to welcome JR up here right now!!
JR: I sure hope this isn't some kind of trick or something.
Shane-O-Mac: JR, welcome back to your hometown, thanks for all your hard work and to congratulate you, I'm giving you a job for life, and the mayor of Oklahoma City has a surprise for you.
The mayor comes out.
Mayor: JR, I am awarding you with the freedom of Oklahoma City, tonight!!
The crowd goes crazy.
R-Truth: JR finally getting rewarded for all his years of hard work. We don't just talk about anti-bullying here at PWF, we live it!! And that's the truth!
JR shakes the mayor's hand and then Shane's hand.
R-Truth: JR getting his moment in Oklahoma, at long last!! Little Jimmy loves this!!
J.R.: I really want to say thanks to both of you, and to..........IT'S A SHAME THAT THEY LOST THEIR HEAD, A CARELESS MAN COULD WIND UP DEAD"
The crowd boos as Sheamus and Rikishi come to ringside and enter the ring.
R-Truth: If it looks like a duck, smells like a duck and acts like a duck, then it must be duck. Therefore, Rikishi must be one big pile of crap!! Quack, quack.
Sheamus: Ladies and Gentle, sorry, inbreds and rednecks of Oklahoma (booooooooos)...... this is pathetic. There is a reason Jim Ross is always humiliated when he comes here. Because Vince knows, like me and Rikishi know that he doesn't deserve any of this adulation. He basically made a career out of shouting "Stone Cold, Stone Cold!!, and living of the fame of others, such as the Great White Celtic Warrior, me!!
Rikishi: That's right...and to make matters worse, like we seen earlier, he's abusing his executive vice president of talent relations role to try to dictate what we should eat here in the PWF. Well, JR, eat this!!
Rikishi pulls 2 bottles of JR's bbq sauce out of his clothes and hands one to Sheamus. They procede to pour it all over Jim Ross!!
R-Truth: This is....insane!! Jim Ross is humiliated in his hometown, yet again.
Shane ask them to stop but they continue spraying JR with the sauce and laughing. The crowd are booing like crazy.
Sheamus: What's wrong, fella, I thought you liked this stuff!! You know you remind me of my great grand uncle Johnny Ryan. First of all coz he had the same initials as yourself. But also, coz he used to always to be hated in his hometown and people would laugh at him. Till one day he made some nice BBQ sauce and everyone liked him and he became a hero. But, then he got too cocky and ended up drowning in his own Barbeque Sauce!!
Rikishi looks confused: Did that really happen?
Sheamus: Maybe, anyway these stupid rednecks will believe anything.
R-Truth: And Rikishi and Sheamus got even more bottles of that BBQ Sauce. I guess nobody ever bought this much of JR's sauce!! And JR getting covered in it. You know what my pet pidgeon would say about this - nothing, coz Pigeons don't talk!! And that's the truth!!
All of a sudden Voodoo Chile (Slight Return) hits and the crowd go crazy.
Sheamus and Rikishi look shocked and stare at the entrance to the arena.
R-Truth: And here comes Hulk Hogan! And his old pal Brutus Beefcake. Perhaps he wants some bbq sauce with that beefcake. What's that, Little Jimmy?
Sheamus and Rikishi quickly escape the ring when Hogan and Beefcake enter.
Sheamus shouts "we'll get ya later tonight, fellas" as the crowd boo and the guys walk back down the aisle. Hulk Hogan and Beefcake milk the crowd for adulation!
R-Truth: All's I know is that tonight.....somebody gonna get got!!!! And that's the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth!!
In the first match Bart Gunn defeated Scotty 2 Hotty, taking out his anger over the betrayal by his brother the previous week.
Goes to backstage.
Brutus Beefcake is walking along when suddenly he gets attacked from behind. It's not obvious who the attacker is. As soon as the camera goes to focus on the attacker the camera is knocked to the floor.
J.R: Oh my god, what's going on back there.
Suddenly, Beefcake is heard screaming. Eventually the camera man picks the camera back up to reveal Beefcake lying down, knocked out.
J.R.: Good god!! I dunno how that's going to affect our main event but it looks like Beefcake will not be competing tonight.
R-Truth: Might be a long time before we see him again.
"Oh, you didnt know? Your ass better call somebody!!!!!! Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls, Children of all ages: D-Generation X proudly brings to you the soon to be TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS OF THE WORLD! The Road Dogg Jesse James, The Bad Ass Billy Gunn, The New Age Outlaws!"
"And if you aren't down with that, we've got two words for ya, SUCK IT!!!!!!!!!!!"
Rhythm & Blues music plays and out come Greg "The Hammer" Valentine and the Honky Tonk Man.
J.R.: I am shocked by what just happened.
R-Truth: I am shocked by your smell, haven't you showered yet?
J.R. I am dedicated to my announcing job.
R-Truth: Dedicated to smelling like Barbeque Sauce, more like. It's worse than a skunk.
J.R.: What's with your constant animal references?
R-Truth: Little Jimmy loves animals.
J.R.: I hope that's only platonic.
Announcer: This match is scheduled for one fall and is for the PWF Tag-Team titles. Introducing first, the challengers, The NEW...AGE...OUTLAWS!!!
(cheers)
Announcer: And their opponents, they are the PWF Tag-Team Champions....RHYTHM...AND....BLUES
(mixed reaction)
J.R.: Greg The Hammer Valentine and the Honky Tonk Man have been more successful as a team than as individual competitors so far in the PWF. With Brutus Beefcake joining the PWF last week, we thought we might see the return of the Dream Team. But that wicked assault on Beefcake earlier seems to have put paid to that.
R-Truth: As long as they the tag-team champions, Rhythm & Blues ain't going nowhere. But Little Jimmy thinks the New Age Outlaws are gonna be too strong tonight.
J.R.: Greg The Hammer Valentine and the Bad Ass Billy Gunn starting us off here. The Hammer is hammering away on Billy Gunn. And he tags in The Honky Tonk Man. And both men going to work on Billy Gunn.
.................................................
J.R.: Gunn with the tag to the Road Dogg. Got any references about dog's R-Truth?
R-Truth: I'll ask Little Jimmy.
The One Billy Gunn comes back into the match. Later, Valentine goes for a superplex but the Bad Ass pushes him to the ring and then hits an elbow drop.
J.R: And both men are down. They are both looking to make the tag. And here comes the Honky Tonk Man. And now Road Dogg. Look at the reaction.
R-Truth: The Dogg's been let of his leash!!
J.R: I knew you would think of one. And Road Dogg is kicking ass. Here it comes.........Shake, Rattle and Roll. And now, the pumphandle slam to Honky Tonk Man.
R-Truth: This is over.
1..........2.........3.
J.R.: And we've got new Tag-Team Champions. The New Age Outlaws. They are only back for a week.
Announcer: The winners of this match, and the new PWF Tag-Team Champions, the NEW AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE OUTLAWS!!!!
The New Age Outlaws defeated Rhythm & Blues to become the new PWF Tag-Team Champions.
R-Truth: Still can't believe Road Dogg ditched me last week.
J.R.: Well, look at him now, he's got those titles, maybe it was the right thing to do.
R-Truth: I knew you'd say that, shutup.
Road Dogg starts rapping to the crowd. Honky Tonk Man picks up his guitar and starts playing. The crowd love it.
J.R.: Road Dogg rapping but Honky Tonk Man prefers some Rhythm & Blues. Oh but Road Dogg and the Bad Ass Billy Gunn have grabbed his guitar and they've broken it in half.
Honky Tonk Man grabs a microphone: We will get those titles back, and we will also prove that Rock is always better than that crappy Rap music you guys like these days!!!!!!!!
......................................break...........................
Crash Holly is shown walking backstage.
J.R.: Well, there is Crash Holly, the new Hardcore Champion. Remember he has to defend it 24......oh my god!!!!!!! Greg Valentine from behind. With a sledgehammer.
Good God!! And he looks angry, and so he should be, he just lost the tag-team titles. And he lost the Hardcore Title match with Crash last week. Oh and wait a minute he's going for a suplex...backstage. Oh my God...listen to that impact. And there is a referee.
Valentine: Count, damn it!!
1.........2.........3.
J.R: The Hammer has done it. He's the new Hardcore Champion. And that means he has to defend it, 24/7, 365 days a week!!!!
J.R.: Well, our main event is supposed to be coming up next. A tag-team match featuring Hulk Hogan and Brutus Beefcake against the Irish-Samoan Alliance of Sheamus and Rikishi. But Beefcake was knocked out earlier, I don't think he's able to compete.
Backstage, Hogan is confronting the PWF Chairman/CEO, Shane McMahon.
Hogan: What the hell kinda show are you running, McMahon. My tag team partner just got beaten up by those two clowns.
Hogan points at Sheamus and Rikishi, who also enter the CEO's office.
Sheamus: What's the story here, fellas?
Hogan: What the hell did you to Brutus? You scared to fight us or what?
Rikishi: Sure, blame us, how did you figure that out?
Shane: Guys, guys, I'm in control of the situation. I have started making it clear to everyone in the backroom, that anyone who attacks anybody else backstage, or interferes in matches from now on, will be suspended without pay.
Hogan: So suspend these big pieces of crap then.
Shane: We need evidence.
Hogan: Evidence? Who else do you think did it? We were going to fight them tonight. And you seen what happened last week. You are worse than your father!
Sheamus: Are you gonna let him make these false accusations, fella.
Shane: Look, how about you settle your differences in the ring.
Hogan: Good, I can get revenge for Brutus. But I need a partner.
Shane: The next guy who walks into my office will be your partner.
Hogan: What? It could be anyone?
A man walks in with his head down and starts sweeping the floor. Sheamus and Rikishi start smiling. Hogan is furious.
Hogan (at Shane): A janitor, McMahon?
Shane shrugs his shoulders.
Janitor: Quack, quack!!
J.R.: What? It's R-Truth!!
Sheamus and Rikishi are shocked.
R-Truth: I heard somebody needs a tag-team partner.
Hogan: Hey, brother!!!
R-Truth: So..we get to fight the ugly alliance!
(cheers)
R-Truth: Sheamus, you're so white, I have to make sure I don't accidentally pour you into my coffee!!!
Sheamus: Yeah, well fella you're so black, I have to be careful not to throw you into my fireplace.
boooooooooooos
R-Truth: What? Did you hear this little racist, Shane?
Shane: We don't tolerate that here, Sheamus:
Sheamus: Racist? He started it! He made fun of me because I'm white!!!! How come everyone is allowed to make fun of me because of how pale I am, but if I talk about how dark someone is, it's the worst crime in the world!
Rikishi: Double standards, McMahon.
Shane: I suppose he's right, R-Truth. You were very......white-ist. Maybe you should both apologise to each other.
Sheamus: It's ok Shane, he can do it after I beat him in the ring!
Sheamus and Rikishi walk out!
Shane: Remember no interferences in any matches tonight guys, or you will be instantly suspended.
Sheamus & Rikishi entrance.
The crowd boo.
THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE.
Out comes R-Truth. The crowd cheer.
Voodoo Chile (Slight Return) plays and out comes Hulk Hogan! The crowd go crazy.
J.R.: I gotta say good luck to R-Truth and Hogan, I hope they beat those two idiots.
Starts with R-Truth and Sheamus. Sheamus is mostly on top and R-Truth finally tags in Hulk Hogan.
J.R.: Here we go, Sheamus is going to face off with Hulk Hogan for the first time ever.
They stare intently at each other for 10 seconds. Finally Hogan attacks Sheamus.
J.R.: They are really going at it. Sheamus with the upper hand with those massive axehandles but Hogan finally ducks one. And here we go!! Body Slam. Goes for the cover...1.....2.......Sheamus kicked out. And Sheamus makes the tag to Rikishi for the first time. These fought last week as well and that time Hogan had the upper hand, this time Rikishi with the upper hand. Hogan forced to tag here comes R-Truth oh but he walks straight into a belly to belly suplex. Rikishi goes for the pin...1...2 kickout by R-Truth.
........
J.R.: Oh and reverse STO!! Now R-Truth and Rikishi both need to make the tag. And here comes Sheamus!! And here comes Hulk Hogan!! Hogan clotheslines Sheamus. And now he clotheslines Rikishi. Another clothesline to Sheamus. Body Slam on Rikishi!! Good god, he's over 400 pounds!!! And he's feeding off the energy of the crowd. Another clothesline to Sheamus. And here we go.......Leg Drop. He got it. 1.......2.........oh but Rikishi makes the break up. Hogan is furious..oh Rikishi kick!!!!!!!!! Hogan is down. Rikishi not the legal man...he goes back outside. Hogan makes the tag to R-Truth. And a big Irish curse backbreaker by Sheamus on R-Truth. R-Truth stands up...oh Sheamus has him between his legs.........going for the Celtic Cross.
Here comes Hogan to try to stop it.....oh.... a big American Football style tackle by Rikishi knocks Hogan down. GOOD GOD ALMIGHTY! Sheamus with the Celtic Cross and 1....2.....3. Damn it!!!

Tonight Joey Styles welcomes to the home of tonights WECWF WrestleWar Corpus Christi in Texas. Which incidentally also happens to be the home of WECWF Superstar Jake Roberts.. And Jake The Snake is in the ring as we begin the show..
JAKE ROBERTS
"SN Punk, you've proven to me over the last few weeks, that you're nothing more than a self righteous, pretentious, no good piece of crap. You think its completely justified to judge all those around you by your own rules and standards yet you feel compelled to use other peoples misery and suffering as weapons against them. Your the biggest hypocrite I've ever set my eyes on.
I used to respect you Punk. I used to see a little bit of me in you.I respected the fact that we're both the underdogs in a big man's business. But unfortunately for me, getting to know you a little more over the past few weeks has proven me completely wrong about you. I know for sure that theres absolutely nothing we have in common. In fact I'd go as far as to say. We're polar opposites, which to be quite honest, I'm happy about, because I've taken sh*ts that I've respected more than you. Hell The Iron Sheik has taken sh*ts I've respected more than you Punk. And i want all the WECWF Universe to know that if there ever comes a day when I'm like you, my god i hope someone takes me out behind the woodshed, shoots me in the head and then puts me out of my misery. Because i'd rather be considered a Ex-Junkie, Alcoholic, who f***ed his life up his own way through his own choices rather than a boring little di*khead like you, So let me just say this to you Phillip Brooks, you want to use my family and my past against me, I just hope you know what you unleash from inside Pandora's box whenever you're stupid enough to open it. "
Before Jake can finish the familiar music of CM Punk has a mixed reaction from the WECWF Universe. Jake makes the "Come on, Come get Some" motion in the ring, but as CM Punks music continues, it becomes obvious the Straight Edge Superstar isn't in the building tonight. And as Jake looks on from the Ring, Punk finally appears on the Big Screen.
Roberts looks very confused as we go to commercial.CM PUNK
"Jake, Jake, Jake, You say what you want about me and my Lifestyle choices, but one thing is for sure. I'm both better than you and I'm smarter than you, and later on tonight. I'll prove why. Don't change the Channel Jake, You wont want to miss this.. "
Opening Match
David Von Erich W/Kevin Von Erich Vs. Brian Knobs W/Jerry Saggs
The match opens up with both men locking up and Von Erich using his superior speed and agility to fly around the ring, finally Knobs gets some offense in with some huge stiff punches right to the gut of Von Erich, Knobs continues with the barrage of fists forcing David Von Erich out of the ring, and instantly Sags gets involved, which descends the match into a massive brawl on the outside between both teams giving the referee little choice.
WINNER: BY DQ.. David Von Erich
Joey Styles announces that Jushin Liger has asked to face one of the Mexicools at MAYHEM RISING. And the Co-Owner Ted Dibiase has granted Liger the Match, and we have an usual twist in store for the 3 Mexican Luchadores.
The Mexicools make their way to the ring and as the 3 Luchadores horse around in the ring, Ted Dibiase makes his way to the entrance ramp.
Super Crazy vs Psicosis vs Juventud GuerreraTED DIBIASE
I've decided since WECWF has since day one. been the home of the Greatest Professional Wrestling on the Planet. At Mayhem Rising III We will continue that fine tradition with Jushin Liger facing the winner of either Super Crazy versus you Psicosis versus you Juventud. And to ensure no funny business Bulls*it between the 3 of you. The 2 guys who lose tonight will also compete at Mayhem Rising.. Against Each Other! Good luck. Dibiase Laugh's his Ass Off as the Mexicools all step away from each other in the ring..
A obviously fast paced match up with high flying offense between all 3 men. Juvie hits the Juvie Driver on Super Crazy for the 2 count, as Psicosis break up the near fall and tosses Juventud over the top rope. And he quickly assents the turnbuckle, hitting the Corkscrew moonsault for the 3 count..
WINNER: PSICOSIS
Joey Styles announces the Match up for Mayhem Rising between Jushin Liger and Psicosis. As Liger makes his way to the entrance ramp and points to Psicosis in the ring.

The Modern Day Warrior Kerry Von Erich is backstage with Mean Gene.
MEAN GENE OKERLUND
"Kerry Von Erich how do you feel about the comments the Iron Sheik has made about you and you Family in recent weeks?KERRY VON ERICH
"Well Mean Gene if any of the WECWF Universe take's a single word The Iron Sheik says seriously, I'd be shocked and surprised. His are nothing but the words of a Delusional, Decrepit Old Man. Who's clearly lost his few remaining marbles. If Sheik wants to do his talking in the ring, I'd be more than happy to talk at Mayhem Rising .."
Iron Sheik does his now weekly tradition of showing up before Von Erich is finished, and interupting him mid sentence..
Sheik walks off, and Kerry Von Erich says "I'm not Jewish" in a confused manner.THE IRON SHEIK
"The Kerry Von Erich, Iron Sheik was real World Champion, Olympic Gold medal, beat the Mr Bob Backlund at the Madison Square Garden, You are nothing but no good Jabroni, Punk , Piece of ****. Just like The Fritz Von Erich, Ultimate Warr, Hulk Hogan, Brian Blair. You want a match at the Madison Square Garden against Sheik?Annnnnd then I will put you no good Jew Ass in the Camel Clutch, use all the power of the great Muslim People to Suplex, Make you Tap, Then make you humble.."
Kerry Von Erich vs Local Jobber
The Iron Sheik joins Joey Styles on commentary..
As Von Erich and the Jobber lock up in the ring the first thing Sheiky says is "Sheik is confused the Joey baby, who is the Jabroni in the ring? because that piece of sh*t Kerry Von Erich son of Jewish Mutherfu**er no good, Punk. Fritz Von Erich is the biggest Jabroni I ever met. Worse than the Brian Blair, worse than the Hulk Hogan. Joey points out that the Von Erichs aren't Jewish to the Iron Sheik. Which sends the Sheik into an instant fit of rage. "F*ck you Joey Styles, Sheik will put you in the Camel Clutch. F**k your a** Suplex you annnnnnnd make you humble.. Joey quickly goes back to calling the match. Sheik says there is one Von Erich he does like.. Thats the Lacey she very niiiiiicccccee. Styles picks up the commentary just as Kerry Von Erich locks in the Claw on the Jobber..
WINNER BY SUBMISSION: Kerry Von Erich
The Iron Sheik responds to the Modern Day Warriors Victory..
A Video replay is shown of the tension between the Co-Owners of WECWF Vince McMahon and Ted Dibiase.
Both Men are in the ring, sitting on chairs with a table separating them and they're joined by a representative of the WECWF Board of Directors.
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS REPRESENTATIVE
"Mr McMahon and Mr Dibiase the WECWF Board of Directors have been unable to come to an unanimous decision on who is indeed the righteous Owner of the Company. It seems both of you Gentlemen have infact been sold a 50% share of the WECWF By Eric Bischoff and Paul Heyman. Rather than the 51% each of you seemed to be promised by both former Co-Owners.
The Board has come to the conclusion that if both of you Gentlemen can't Co-exist. Its in the Companies best interest that you both put your differences aside and Co-exist, or you both put your money, where your mouths are.So then you would have to put both your contracts on the line in a match at Mayhem Rising.. The Board does indeed believe that you Mr McMahon are the Greatest Innovator in the history of Professional Wrestling bar none, even though your financial history does infact leave quite a lot to be desired. And We do believe that one of your great innovations would be extremely Apt for your potential match up at the PPV.
At Mayhem Rising the WECWF Board of Directors would like to see You Vincent Kennedy McMahon versus You Ted Dibiase in A Money in The Bank Ladder Match, with both Contracts on the line, and the Winner being indeed the 100 % Owner of the Company!"
Vince and Ted both look cagey and hesitant in the ring. But they put their substabtial ego's aside as they reluctantly shake hands.
Main Event
Jake "The Snake" Roberts Vs. The Junkyard Dog Vs. Harley Race
Before the Match even gets under way CM Punk Re-appears on the Titantron.
CM Punk is outside a house somewhere in TEXAS.. Walking to the Front Door and then into the Backyard.. Punk has the WECWF Cameramen follow him inside the House. And Punk sits at the dining room table.
WECWF WRESTLEWAR GOES OFF THE AIR AS JAKE ROBERTS LOOKS LIKE HES MAKING HIS WAY TO HIS DAUGHTERS HOUSE, AND AS JUNKUARD DOG AND HARLEY RACE BEGIN THE MATCH..CM PUNK
"Jake does this place look familiar to you? Have you been here before?? Oh No thats right you haven't been here before. Because this is you're Daughters house. This is the home of Her, Her Husband and Her two young Children. Whom obviously you've clearly never met either. Does that bring a tear to your eye Jake, does that make you wanna hit the bottle right now, knowing you've never even met your own Grandchildren.
Does it make you wanna fall off the wagon once more.. Knowing you're Daughter is just too scared for you to met her new family, because of the destruction you've caused to everything you've ever touched. It just proves how pathetic you are Roberts, that you're own Daughter, That your own flesh and blood lives in fear everyday of her life that you'll scar and ruin her Children, the way you ruined her Childhood. She has nightmares and flashbacks every night of her life, images of you beating the sh*t out of her mother, the same way you beat Miss Elizabeth.
Jake do you know what disgusts me the most. You remind me of my own father. He was an abusive low life piece of **** just like you are. He couldn't control his own vices and he took it out on all those around him, Just like you. You see Jake me and Brandy we share a bond, not only do we not Drink or do Drugs, we shared a mutual hatred for our Fathers and a mutual hatred for you. Because both me and Brandy, We're better than You Jake.. "

Welcome to Wednesday Night Clash of the Champions, the final show before the beginning of the road to the biggest show of the year, MFW WrestleGlory. This special live two hour televised spectacular is the last major bump in the road before WrestleGlory, which is in four weeks’ time. Tonight John Cena (who has been MFW Champion since WrestleGlory last April and turned back the challenges of DDP, Monty Brown, Dean Malenko, Davey Richards, Yokozuna and most recently Vader in a dramatic last man standing match at the Royal Rumble since then) will team with the man he will face at WrestleGlory, the 2012 Royal Rumble winner Jeff hardy to face the gargantuan team of Vader and Yokozuna. Also tonight the World Tag Team Championships are on the line as the champions Speed Muscle (Naruki Doi and Masato Yoshino) face The American Wolves (Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards). But up first, our opening contest. *Billy Kidman’s music hits*
Cruiserweight Championship
champion Dean Malenko vs. Billy Kidman
Kidman starts hot with some big armdrags and a dropkick as Malenko rolls out to floor to slow the pace of the match down. Malenko gets back in the ring, draws Kidman in and snaps off a side headlock takeover and controls Kidman on the ground. Kidman counters into a head scissors but Malenko escapes and rolls back out to the floor but Kidman immediately follows up with a slingshot crossbody to the floor as the crowd chant his name.
Kidman rolls Malenko back in but is cut and Malenko takes over. Malenko dominates Kidman with some fluid chain wrestling as the crowd rallies behind Kidman. Kidman tries to muster a comeback but is quickly cut off as Malenko maintains control. Malenko locks on an armbar but Kidman fights out and begins to fire up. He nails Malenko with two dropkicks followed by a big leg lariat for two.
He looks for the BK Bomb but Malenko escapes, slides behind and hits a Bridging German Suplex for a long tow count. Malenko takes Kidman up for a powerbomb but Kidman counters in the air into a facebuster for two. As Kidman is picking Malenko up, Malenko attempts to pick the leg for the Texas Cloverleaf but Kidman counters with an enziguri. Dazed, Malenko rebounds off the ropes and as he comes back Kidman hits the BK Bomb which leaves Malenko in perfect position for the Shooting Star Press.
Kidman slowly staggers to his feet, climbs the turnbuckle, steadies himself and comes off with the Shooting Star Press but Malenko moves. Malenko immediately follows up with a cover for only two. Malenko whips Kidman into the corner but Kidman counters and follows him in with a clothesline. Kidman sits Malenko on the top turnbuckle looking to set up for a top rope Frankensteiner. As Kidman gets to the top, Malenko grabs him in the Fireman's Carry position and hits a huge top rope gutbuster for the win.
Winner (16:13) and still MFW Cruiserweight Champion: The Iceman Dean Malenko.
Interview - Monty Brown: "Welcome to the Serengeti. Jack Evans, tonight tonight you're the next prey I'm going to hunt down and I can make only one guarantee: You will feel the POOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNCCCCCCCCCCEEEEEEE... Period"
'The Alpha Male' Monty Brown vs. Jack Evans
Due to the obvious size difference Evans tries some hit and run offense but doesn't do much damage. Brown rushes in but Evans low bridges him sending Monty to the floor. Evans hits a Springboard 450 Splash to the floor taking out Monty. Brown rolls back in and Evans follows up with a Springboard Dropkick for two.
Brown finally catches Evans and nails him with two big knees and a Double Underhook Suplex putting Monty frimly in control. Brown locks on a bearhug on the mat looking to ground Evans.
Evans fights his way to his feet and breaks the hold with a series of elbows and forearms. Evans hits a Moonsault Kick and follows it up with a Tornado DDT for two. Evans goes out to the apron and springboards back in with corkscrew kick that takes Monty off his feet. Evans goes up top and nails the 630 Splash but only gets a very long two count. Evans goes back out to the apron, springboards in one time too many as this time Brown catches him and hits him with the Alpha Bomb. He smells blood as he picks Evans up, whips him off the ropes and destroys him with a Pounce which sends Evans into next week. Monty gets the pin.
Winner (9:43): 'The Alpha Male' Monty Brown
Interview - The American Wolves: Davey Richards "Lets keep this very short, I'm the best wrestler in the world and we're the best tag team in the world and Doi and Yoshino, we're coming for your belts".
MFW World Tag Team Championships
Speed Muscle vs. The American Wolves
The match starts with some fast paced back and forth chain and counter wrestling with all four wrestler going back and forth much to the fans appreciation with dueling chants for both teams. Davey Richards manages to isolate Doi and The Wolves take over.
Richards and Edwards begin to pick apart Doi, making quick tags and staying fresh while wearing down Doi. Doi ducks a Richards clothesline and nails him with a German Suplex and then follows up hitting Edwards with a Tiger Suplex and makes the tag to Yoshino as Doi runs wild. Richards attempts to grab Yoshino but he's running the ropes so fast Richards can't get him and Yoshino finally hits a dropkick.
Edwards tries to intervene but Yoshino tilt-a-whirls into an octopus submission hold. Yoshino goes up top and nails a missle dropkicks on Davey while landing on Eddie with a big back splash. Doi has sufficiently recovered and Speed Muscle go on a double teaming frenzy. Hitting a drop toe hold/sliding kick combo on Richards and a Flapjack/Bulldog combo on Edwards. Doi exposes Edwards arm and Yoshino comes off the top with a double stomp, then Yoshino sets Richards up on the middle rope and Doi comes off the top with a Senton. The American Wolves just can't get going.
Doi looks for the rolling cannonball in the corner but Richards moves while Edwards grabs Yoshino from behind and The Wolves hit a Superkick/German combo but Doi kicks out at two. They hit the Alarm Clock and Edwards moves into a Dragon Sleeper on Doi while Richards tries and fails to stop Yoshino from breaking it up.
Yoshino hits Edwards with the Lightning Spiral, Richards immediately follows that with a stiff kick to the face followed by a DR Driver. Richards goes up top looking for the Shooting Star but Doi crotches Richards on the top rope, hits the Doi 5's and follows it with the Bakatare Sliding Kick for the three count as the fans give all four wrestlers a round of applause.
Winners (17:32) and still World Tag Team Champions: Naruko Doi and Masato Yoshino
After Doi and Yoshino leave ringside, the fans give The American Wolves a standing ovation. Suddenly Dean Malenko hits the ring and lays out both Edwards and Richards before locking Richards in the Texas Cloverleaf. Why did Malenko suddenly attack the American Wolves?
MFW Television Championship
champion DDP vs. Roderick Strong w/ Michael Elgin
Strong jumps DDP before the bell and hits some stiff chops that can be heard at the back of the building. Strong begins working over DDP's back, obviously looking to weaken it to set up one of his signature backbreakers or his Strong Hold submission.
DDP begins a comeback but Elgin grabs his foot from outside and Strong nails a leg lariat to take DDP back down. Strong hits a Double Underhook Backbreaker and DDP is in trouble. Strong looks to lock on the Strong Hold but DDP kicks him off. With Strong distracting the ref, Elgin attempts to grab DDP's foot again but DDP avoids it and Slingshots over onto Elgin but Elgin catches his and rams him chest first into the barricade and deposits him back in the ring.
Strong immediately follows up with the Strong Hold and DDP is incredibly close to tapping but eventually get to the ropes. Roderick thinks he's won and this gives DDP a chance to recover. When Roderick turns around DDP delivers two punches followed by a Discuss Clothesline. He picks Strong up and nails a Spinning Sitout Powerbomb much to the chagrin of Elgin at ringside but only gets two.
He looks for a Gutwrench Gutbuster, but Strong slides down the back and tries to get DDP into position for the Gibson Driver. However DDP escapes and hits the Diamond Cutter out of nowhere for the victory.
Winner (12:06) and still MFW Television Champion: Diamond Dallas Page
As Page is celebrating Monty Brown hits the ring and blindsides DDP with a Pounce. The Alpha Male then poses with DDP's TV title signaling his clear intent to take DDP's title.
A video package goes through the history of our main event, MFW Champion John Cena and Jeff Hardy vs. Vader and Yokozuna, going through how Cena and Hardy were forced to team up to face the colossal team of Yoko and Vader.
After the humongous team of Yokozuna and Vader enter, the building explodes for the entrance of 'The Charismatic Engima' Jeff Hardy. There's then a thirty second pause filled with a lot of booing in anticipation of the entrance of the champ. Cena's music hits and about 75% of the building are booing him. Cena enters with his usual cheesy, goofball smile saying how he loves this to the camera as he enters.
Main Event Tag Team Match
MFW Champion John Cena and Jeff Hardy vs. Yokozuna and Vader
vs. 
Vader and Yoko make for a very intimidating tag team. Hardy starts and tentatively moves around Vader. They lock up and Vader bounces Hardy off the mat and Hardy shuffles into the corner to create distance. Hardy ducks a Vader clothesline and clubs Vader back with a few forearms to little effect. Vader turns and floors Hardy with one punch.
Hardy is already in trouble as Vader tags in Yokozuna to continue their dominance. Yoko crushes Hardy with a Samoan Drop and destroys him with a Belly to Belly Suplex. Yoko then looks for a big leg drop but Hardy rolls out of the way.
Hardy moves to make the tag and the fans boo the potential of Cena entering the match. Just as Hardy was about to tag Cena, Cena dropped off the apron. Hardy looked at Cena with a combination of confusion, anger and pain. Cena goes to the back and has left Hardy on his own to fend for himself against the behemoths known as Vader and Yokozuna.
Hardy makes his way to his feet and realises the direness of his situation as Vader and Yoko are both in the ring. He ducks a double clothesline and wildly throws punches at both men. They both follow him into the corner and his hits a Whisper in the Wind which sends both superhumans staggering.
Just as Hardy was getting going, Yoko nearly takes his head off with a devastating side kick and picks him up for a Samoan Drop. Vader crushes him with a Powerbomb and drags him to the corner. Vader hits the Vader Bomb and Yoko hits the Banzai Drop straight after and Hardy has been completely demolished. Yoko pins Hardy to give his team the victory.
Winners (11:11): Vader and Yokozuna
Jeff Hardy is wheeled out of the arena on a stretcher to an awaiting ambulance as the fans look on in stunned silence.
Will Hardy even be able to make his main event championship opportunity at WrestleGlory? Will John Cena explains his heinous actions and why he abandoned Hardy and fed him to Yoko and Vader? With only four more editions of MFW Steel left before WrestleGlory see all the fallout from this live television special on the next edition of Steel.
Matches set for the huge WrestleGlory PPV:

Good evening and welcome to the 2nd episode of FCWF, right here in the city of brotherly love, Philidephia PA.
But already in the ring is a guy who looks in no mood to spread any love is Austin Aries.As many of you may have seen last week, I was robbed of becoming the first ever FCWF champion. And for all you fat Pennyslvanian slobs (boos from crowd) out there who were too lazy to reach over for the remote to change over from American Idol or whatever else passes for "entertainment" nowadays, here's what happened.
cuts to video of Aries' being pinned by Lethal.As you can clearly see, my leg was under the ropes. It proves that Jay Lethal can't beat me, and I DEMAND! that he comes out here right now to give me my rematch
we wait for Lethal to respond, but instead out comesWoah man you gotta chill. Now I know you got beef with my main man Jay Lethal, but he aint here yet, and giving a rematch tonight, that aint my bag baby.
But you can have your rematch in two weeks at a Pay-Per-View called Final Closure.
And you can still do your thang tonight in a little something against Lethal called Beat The Clock, with the winner choosing a stipulation for you title match.
Now I gotta go spread the love with some of these lovely Philidelphia ladies. Ooh, have mercy.
Looks like Aries is getting his rematch after all at Final Closure, and if he can win the Beat The Clock Challenge, it would give him a big advantage.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________
We come back from commercials and Giant Haystacks is in the ring ready for another opponent to answer his challengeHopefully this week my opponent will be a REAL man, not just some bum you guys dragged in off the street
Approaching the ring, from Raleigh, North Carolina, THE HURRICANE!
The two bell rings and off we go.
Hurricane seems to be trying to hurrislam Haystacks, but can't even reach his neck, and Haystacks shoves him back with one hand, hard enough that he hits the corner buckle.
Haystacks tries to grab Hurricane, but he ducks out of the way and taunts him with an "I'm over here". He repeats this several times, with Haystacks getting both increasingly fustrated, and increasingly tired. Hurricane spots his chance and unleashes with a series a kicks to Haystack's legs. The big man is definitely starting to wobble.
Sensing his chance, Hurricane climbs to the top ropes and goes for a big cross-body.
Big Mistake! Haystacks catches him in mid air and dumps him out of the ring almost in one motion.
The Winner of This Match: GIANT HAYSTACKS
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
We go backstage where we see a limo pulling in, and out steps both Jay Lethal and Buddy Rogers. Now back to ringside.
Approaching the ring first is Austin Aries.If I'm going to prove I'm the best, I've got to beat the best, so bring it on
And his opponent, weighing in at 468 pounds, Earthquake
The match begins with Earthquake getting the better of the initial grapples, and keeps Aries grounded for at least two minutes. Earthquake then goes for an irish whip, and follows up with a charge into the corner, but he telegraphed it and Aries counters with an elbow to the face, which he follows up with a snapmare off the top ropes and knocks the big man over. He goes for a pin but only gets a two count and such is the power of Earthquake's kick out that he knocks Aries out of the ring.
Aries grabs a chair and tries to bring it back into the ring but the ref confiscates it, but when the ref's back is turned he catches Earthquake with a low blow. He goes for a pin but again only gets a two count. Earthquake gets to his feet again and when Aries tries to come of the ropes for momentum he gets caught by Earthquake who applies a bearhug (all the while the clock ticking past 5 minutes), which Aries is only barely able to escape from and collapse to the ground in exhaustion. Earthquake mocks him by stepping on top of him (nearly 500lb on top of your chest would have to hurt).
Earthquake senses the end, and starts shaking the ground around Aries, and runs off the ropes to go for the seated splash, but Aries is quick to react and rolls out of the way. He grabs he opportunity to climb the ropes and hit a 450 splash for a 1,2,3 and the win in 6:30.
The Winner of This Match: AUSTIN ARIES

We go backstage where we have Albert being interviewed
Interviewer:Of all the superstars in the locker room, you've definitely been the quietest. Can we get some indication as to when you'll be making your FCWF debut?
Albert:That Giant Haystacks has been out there the last two weeks, acting like he's the man. But his opponents these last two weeks are nothing compared to me. I know you English guys love your trains with your British Rail, and your trainspotting and all that. But just wait til next week, when the A-Train runs straight over YOU!
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Back in the ring are Kai-En-Tai
Taka:Last week we were robbed of tag team belts because of Mountie. What is this "Cattle Prod"? Your shock your cow? In Japan we massage our cow and have best beef in world.
But last week is gone. Tonight we challenge anyone to face us, to prove once again that we best wrestlers, because we are EVIL!
FunakiIndeed
They wait for an opponent, when out of nowhere comes The Big Bossman with a steel chair, and takes them both out with shots to the head.I am sick to death of seeing these foreigners just strolling in here and stealing the spotlight from us hard-working Americans & Canadians who made this industry what it is. Dey tuk ur jubs! Last week I made those Egyptian nobodies pay, and tonight I'm going to make an example of these Asian lowlifes.
Bossman proceeds to handcuff Taka & Funaki to the ropes, and takes out his nightstick, ready to administer a beatdown.
Suddenly, The Hurricane's music hits, but it's Rosey who comes running down the ramp to make the save
He catches Bossman with a big right hand, and another, and another, and sends him flying with a big body-to-body suplex.
He has Bossman backed into a corner til he gets attacked from behind from The Mountie, but that doesnt last long when TAmasis & Ophidian emerge from the crowd.
Brooklyn Brawler & Test come to the ring too, and join what has become an all-out brawl.
After a couple of minutes a familiar music hits
IT'S CACTUS JACK!!! IT'S CATCUS JACK!!!
He comes out wielding a barbwire bat, and once he hits the ring everyone is quick to clear out.Bossman, you want to fight Kai En-Tai so badly, well you can do it next week in a handicap match. With you and an tag partner of your choosing, taking on Taka, Funaki, and Rosey.
Oh, and by the way, it'll be one of my favorite types of match, Hell In A Cell!
Bossman leaves while pointing to the still handcuffed Kai-En-Tai with hit nightstick, we can't hear what he's saying, but I'm sure he's planning to cause some major pain next week in Hell In A Cell
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
We come back from ads, ready for our main event of the evening and part two of the Beat The Clock Challenge, with Jay Lethal having a time of 6:30 to beat.
Suddenly Ric Flair's music hits. But he's not on the FCWF roster!
Out comes Jay Lethal, accompanied by the original 'Nature Boy', Buddy Rogers. They are both stylin' and profilin'.
Buddy grabs a chair and positions it right in from of the announce table, he wants to get a good view of this match. Lethal in the mentime is in the ring playing to the crowd, with Flair's customary strutting, elbow/knee drops, and shouting "WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO", with the crowd joining in.
And his opponent, The Brooklyn Brawler. Looks like Lethal has definitely been given the easier match.
The bell rings and the match is underway.
The two grapple up, and Lethal gets the better of it, apply a wristlock. Brawler counters with a couple of back elbows, and follows it up with a series of blows to the back of Lethal. He taunts the crowd and gets major heat.
Brawler picks up lethal and whips him into the corner and goes to follow up with a shot to the head. Lethal blocks it and grabs Brawler, showing him into the corner. He hit Brawler with a series of chops to the chest, each one getting a "WOOOOOOOO!" in response from the crowd.
He grabs Brawler's head, and hits a snap suplex. He goes for a pin, and brawler just about kicks out at two.
He starts again with the Flair-esque strut, and goes to hit a jumping knee drop, but Brawler rolls out of the way. Brawler follows up with a series of stomps to Lethal, when Buddy Rogers gets up out of his chair.
He climbs up onto the apron, and the referee is distracted trying to get him back down. Brawler goes to pick up Lethal, but Lethal catches him with a low blow.
Lethal climbs to the top ropes, but Rogers signals to him not to. Lethal grabs Brawler's leg and looks back towards Rogers. He gives the thumbs up, and in true Caesar style turns it into a thumbs down. Lethal locks in the figure-4 leglock, and Brawler has no option but to tap out.
There's only a little over 3 minutes on the clock, Lethal has won the Beat The Clock Challenge.
The Winner Of This Match: Jay Lethal
Buddy Rogers joins Lethal in the ring, to raise is arm, and then proceeds to hand him the mike.I've chosen the stipulation for my title defence at Final Closure.
I want Mick Foley to be the Special Guest Referee.
That comes as no surprise, he was given a much easier match by Foley (or was it Dude Love? or was it Cactus Jack?)
We'll have to wait til next week to see how Aries reacts to this.0 -
Welcome to BWA Raw!
As we hit the airways the announce team are full of talk about the goings on from last week and what we can expect this week, they also point out that we are coming to you live tonight from Mexico City.. It would seem one thing they were yet to mention will start us off tonight though as Rey Mysterio's music hits and the biggest little man in the BWA makes his way out to the ring. Will he explain his unprovoked attack on Mil Mascaras from last week?
As Rey comes down to the ring the Mexican audience seem split on him. He is getting boos and cheers as he emerges and there is also a very vocal "Mil Mascaras" chant.Rey: All week people have been asking me, Rey why did you do it? why did you attack Mil Mascaras? They have told me that they have lost respect for me because of this. You know what I say to them.... bullsh!t.
They never respected me. When I won the world title, to my face they cheered but behind my back all that could be heard was that I only got the title as a tribute to Eddie Guerrero, that I was not the best, that my title reign was a joke. Hell even 2 weeks ago when I had just debuted here in the BWA one of the co-GMs said he was going to sign a bigger Mexican superstar the very next week. Just like all of you out there he showed me nothing but disrespect. I am not only the greatest Mexican wrestler in the BWA but the greatest of all time and I will prove this. Mascaras get out here now, cos im challenging you! 1 on 1 at No Way Out. Lets see who is the greatest...
He waits for an answer but it doesent come from the expected source as coming out from the back instead is co GM of BWA Raw Gorilla MonsoonMonsoon: Rey... Will you stop! yes we know John Lauriniatis made a mistake but thats what that guy does. He laid his hand on me last week for example and trust me that was a mistake. However there is one thing I know we agree on and thats that you dont make the matches here we do and we have already booked your match for BWA No Way Out.
It will be you vs Mil Mascaras (Mysterio looks pleased but Monsoon isnt finished yet)... vs This man
As he says that he turns to head to the back and the lights in the arena dim. Suddenly blue smoke starts to come from the stage and ringposts as a image appears on the screen, that of a Blue mask. Mysterio looks confused at first but quickly he seems to realise what this means and a look of dread comes across his face. Suddenly the lid is lifted off the arena and the fans go wild as Blue Demon appears from the smoke standing behind Rey in the ring. When he notices him Rey shakes his head in disbelief and backs out of the ring. Blue Demon strikes a dramatic pose point at him as he backs up the ramp and the announcers say Rey doesent want anything to do with him. They wont get to see a physical confrontation between these two tonight but the fans dont care, Blue Demon has arrived in the BWA!
We head backstage where John Laurinitis is talking to the worlds greatest tag team Charlie Haas & Shelton Benjamin. He tells them that he is going to give them the tag team titles match versus Hayabusa & Masato Tanaka at No Way Out but says that he doesent exactly agree with the methods they have been using recently. He also informs them that he has given the tag champs the night off tonight so that they can recouperate from the attacks from the WGTT and be 100% before No Way Out. Just as Benjamin trys to speak out against this decision Big Johnny says as VP of talent relations he knows how to appease them and says that he will offer them a chance, saying that if they win their match tonight they can name the stipulation for their match at the PPV. They now look pleased as Kenta Kobashi enters the room and Lauriniatis ushers them out saying he wanted to watch tonights opening contest. On their way out Haas suggests it will be a good one.
Opener: Mil Mascaras vs Dan "The Beast" Severn
Mascaras is impressive in the early goings of this match up while the announcers suggest Severn may not yet be at 100% and is a little slow. Mascaras catches him with a big Vertical suplex and really should take control but allows Severn to recouperate as his attention is drawn to the unexpected arrival of Shelton Benjamin & Charlie Haas at ringside. Severn takes his chance and gets back into proceeding with a Rear naked choke that he eventually breaks when Mascaras grabs the ropes. Its at this point that the WGTT's involvement in the match escalates with Benjamin giving Mascaras an almightly slap as he clings to the ropes.
One announcer jokes about how it was a slap and not a punch but the other seems more focused on the force behind the hit which in his opinion shows that despite the tag champs having the night off the self proclaimed worlds greatest stable are not stopping their hate campaign towards foreigners.
A little in shock Mascaras turns back towards severn who goes for a big clothesline but the Masked superstar ducks down and its the UFC hall of famer who is sent crashing to the outside due to his momentum. Benjamin & Haas help him to his feet outside but he seems to shrug them off. He does this just in time as Mascaras this time not waiting around takes this opportunity and performes a suicide dive. He takes out Benjamin and Haas but narrowly misses Severn who rolls back into the ring. Mascaras it seems hurts himself in doing this though and as a result fails to make a ten count which the ref has already started.
Winners by countout: Dan Severn
Haas and Benjamin now back to their feet start stomping on Mascaras. They stop temporarily as Severn comes up to the two of them but he just shakes his head and heads to the back as the attack continues. Eventually BWA officials get them to stop and they head to the back acting like they and not Severn had just won the match.
Backstage we are brought to an Interview with both Gorilla Monsson & Killer KowalskiKowalski: Last week I went one on one with the man I trained, the man who now calls himself the Game HHH and you know what... I lost a little respect for him. He has grown arrogant and devious. The man I trained would never stoop to using distraction tactics and low blows to get a win. A true champion figths with honour and Hunter, thats something I just dont see in you anymore and thats why at BWA No Way Out I will be in Bryan Danielson's corner.
Monsoon: Well you wont physically Killer. He has your support but...
Kowalski: Your right there is someone else in the BWA that needs to be taught a lesson in respect and im the man to do it. Last week while the crowd chanted youve still got it, 1 thought kept crossing my mind, a match infact. Me, Killer Kowalski vs Kenta Kobashi! you think your a big man attacking trainees, well how about a real fight?
Monsoon: So how about it Johnny boy? your errand boy vs the head trainer of the BWA academy and wrestling legend Killer Kowalski... have we got a match?
Match 2: Rey Mysterio vs Muhammad Hassan
This one starts rather tentativley with a lot of arm drags and counters but Muhammad Hassan seems to have the early advantage as he catches Mysterio with two snap suplexes. He then prepares to go for his camel clutch when Jeff Jarett's Music plays and the man who loves describing himself as an American hero comes down to the ring. Mysterio uses this to turn Hassan's Camel Clutch attempt into an inside cradel and gets a very close 2 count. The crowd are getting very vocal now as Rey begins to get on top hitting a headscissors takedown. Fan favourite Hassan is struggling and with his rival Jarrett at ringside and Mysterio's recent attitude change the crowd seem really worried and when Mysterio takes advantage of the ref being distracted (warning Jarrett not to get involved) and rakes Hassan in the eyes before hitting him with a dose of green mist the crowd are livid. Hassan is left stumbling around and after a Mysterio kick to his head he drops onto the bottom rope which of course leads Rey to diall it up and go for the 619 which he connects. Then much to the crowds annoyance but Jarrett's liking a West coast pop follows from Rey who gets the win as a result.
Winner: Rey Mysterio
Rey celebrates as he heads to the back while Hassan wipes his eyes clean of the mist to see Jarrett laughing histerically at him as he exits to the backstage area. A look of rage flashes across Hassan's face as he jumps the ropes and charges towards the back himself in pursuit.
*Commercial Break which culminates by mentioning breaking news on the new look BWA.com website*
Backstage Muhammad Hassan who is still searching for Jarrett and clearly still enraged bumps into John Lauriniatis. He tells Hassan to calm down and tells him in his role as interm co GM of BWA Raw he has made a match for BWA No Way Out. Muhammad Hassan vs Jeff Jarrett for the Intercontinental title. Hassan looks a little more pleased as Johnny continues down the hallway and as the announcers point out, he seems to be heading out towards the staging area.
Moments later Lauriniatis emreges onto the stage Microphone in hand and with Kenta Kobashi by his side.Johnny: thank you, thank you (despite the crowd reaction being primarily negative), I know all of you appreciate the hard work I do here not only as the VP of talent relations but also as the interm co GM of BWA Raw. I also know that you rely on me to make you the biggest and best matches and with that in mind I would like to accept on behalf of my good friend here [pats Kobashi on the shoulder to no reaction from Kenta] Gorilla Monsoons proposal. Kobashi vs Kowalski will take place at No Way Out! but Monsoon why not make things interesting. If your buddy Kowalski hasnt still got it and Kobashi defeats him I demand you resign from your co GM position. Kowalski and you Monsoon have one thing in common... you're time is up
Lauriniatis then says he doesent want to interupt proceeding any longer and delay the beginning of another great match presented to you by his decree and he and Kobashi head to the back. Momens later the entrance themes begin to play for our next match up. As they make their way out the announcers talk about how Big Johnny didnt mention that one of these men is extremely pissed off tonight as he has just found out he will have to wait till next week to see who has answerd his PPV deathmatch challenge. That man of course is Necro Butcher
Charlie Haas & Shelton Benjamin vs Killer Kowalski & Necro Butcher
Kowalski starts this one off against Charlie Haas and really takes it to his younger competitor and after a number of impressive dropkicks Haas is lucky to be able to tag in Benjamin who comes in hot and surprises Kowalski by first catching him with a diving clothesline and then countering Kowalski's attempt at a clothesline with a Somoan drop. Killer gets to his feet quickly but hes in the wrong corner and is caught by a slap mimicing Benjamin earlier in the night from Haas in the corner. The ref repremands him but Benjamins offense continues and Kowalski is hit with a german suplex pin attempt which he kicks out of at 2. As Benjamin is picking the downed Kowalski back up to go for another move however Killer catches him Kowalski Claw Vice grip. Unfortunatley though he is once again to close to Benjamins corner and a swift kick from Haas forces the hold to be broken.
Once again the ref gets in Haas's face but no action is taken against the team. As the announcers point out though Kowalski partner cannot accept this though and as we see he has jumped down off the ring apron and is routing around under the ring for something. Kowalski having fought back to his feet now tries to tag in his partner only to find out he is nowhere to be seen and as he turns around Benjamin hit s a superkick on him before tagging in Haas. One announcer suggests that maybe Kowalski has lost a step since taking his role as head trainer of the BWA academy when suddenly the other starts screaming about Necro Butcher who suddenly arrives in the ring carrying with him a 2 x 4 pierced with numerous nails. Kowalski is in total shock as is the ref but the latter is soon drawn to action as Necro Butcher swings the weapon and catches Hass on the shoulder.
Winner by DQ: Haas & Benjamin
Kowalski is trying to calm Necro Butcher down but he is swarmed by sceurity personal and taken away. This major distraction also allows Kenta Kobashi to re-emerge this time coming out from the crowd unnoticed and attacking Kowalski from behind knocking him head first into the ring steps. He then stomps on him for a good minute before some extra security with some of those who had been seing to Necro Butcher came back out to interupt to assualt although the announcers speculate that perhaps Kobashi had already achieved his wish here tonight and softened up his PPV opponent.
We head backstage and to an interview with Bryan Danielson who is asked about being in tonights main event.Interviewer: Last week main event saw how HHH proved himself to make official their match for the BWA world title, do you intend to make a statement to HHH in tonights main event Bryan?
Danielson: All HHH proved last week is that he wil do anything to try and win that match at No Way Out even using underhanded tactics against a man he once claimed he loved in his former trainer Killer Kowalski.
In my match tonight you will see how a true champion acts. I will show the great fans of Mexico city the honour that should go hand in hand with being BWA champion, I will show my opponent the respect he deserves and I will show hunter why I am the best wrestler in the world today! if thats the statement you are looking for then look no further
elsewhere backstage we see Jeff Jarrett being interviewed before his main event match tonight by Josh Matthews:Matthews firstly asks him considering his anti anyone American ideals why Rey Mysterio was not also targetted along with Hassan earlier tonight.
JJ: Isn't Rey form California? anyway that doesent matter who are you to question the American hero Jeff Jarrett? Hassan didnt like what I had to say about him and decided to get involved in my affairs last week so just like I'll do at No Way Out, I beat some sense into that rag head here tonight, but im not finished o no. I've got a much bigger message to spread than that starting next when I defeat one of the men that will challenge for the BWA world title at No Way Out, something I should be doing. Then next week you will see that my message is being heard as I introduce to you the 4th member of the Worlds Greatest Stable.
Jarrett laughs to himself and heads out of shot as we return to ringside and get ready for our main event.
It seems a little extra spice is being added to it as just like Danielson did last week Triple H comes out to quite a reaction and joins the commentary team.
Hunter is obviously focussing his commentary on Danielson in this one and repeatidly makes statements about how Danielson isnt a star and should stick to the indie circuit claiming he will show him up at No Way Out.
Main Event: Bryan Danielson vs Jeff Jarrett
As this match begins we are told that Gorilla Monsoon angered by the finishes in matches thus far has said that if anyone gets physically involved in tonights main event they will be taken off the BWA No Way Out Card. Despite this warning Charlie Haas and Shelton Benjamin have still accompanied Jarett out to the ring.
This starts out a very even contest with both men trading first dropkicks then submission manuevers. Firstly Jarett with a sleeper hold then after Danielson wriggles free he gets double J in an indian deathlock which Jarett in turn escapes from. The announcers comment that although he seems a step ahead of Jarrett most of the time Danielson seems to keep dropping his focus wondering if perhaps Hunter, Haas & Benjamin's presence at ringside was playing on his mind. It becomes clear however that it is after he counters a Jarrett suplex attempt into his patented LeBell Lock but break the hold himself as Benjamin jumps up onto the ring apron next to them. The ref shoos him away reminding him that if he gets physically involved in the match up there will be concequences but Jarrett still can take advantage and once again gets Danielson in a sleeper hold. Jarrett quickly tranistions this though into a forward russian legdrop and slams Danielson on the mat.
HHH talks about how he would never take his eye off the prize like that as he showed in last weeks main event then as Jarrett goes for a Figure-four leglock. Danielson is wirthing in pain and has Haas and Benjamin screaming in his face telling him to tap but he refuses and after what seems like around 30 seconds struggling he finaly reaches the ropes and the hold is released. The announcers now wonder if the damage has already been done as Jarett looking o so pleased with himself drags Danielson back into the ring and applies the hold again. Its a struggle this time to lock it in properly though and eventually Jarrett releases. Both men then trade right hands as they get back to their feet as the fans chant for Danielson. Jarett catches him off guard with a left though before going for a suplex but as he tries to lift danielson up, Bryan reserves it and catches the self proclaimed worlds greatest stables leader with a suplex of his own, this time a Dragon suplex. Suddenly its like a spark has lit up inside Danielson as if he like the annoncers seem to remember he is "The American Dragon". A flurry of European uppercuts follow as he grows in confidence and after a highly impressive roundhouse kick to Jarrett's temple he clearly thinks he can finish this one as evident by his going for his Cattle Mutilation Bridging grounded double chickenwing finisher. Again Benjamin and this time Haas jump up onto the ring apron but now Danielson ignores their attempts to distract him and eventually Jarrett is forced to tap.
Winner: Bryan Danielson
Danielson wants to celebrate a win that has seemingly even impressed HHH altough he does not answer the announcer who puts the question to him but from the moment the bell was sounded Benjamin & Haas had entered the ring and assualted him backing up their leader double J who soon got to his feet and joined the 3 on 1 asault. After about a minute though when the crowd had really begun to get on their backs and Danielson had already taken quite a beating (while HHH just watched on) Muhammad Hussan, Masato Tanaka & Hayabusa come charging down the ramp. The crowd go wild as they go toe to toe with the self proclaimed worlds greatest stable and eventually send them 1 by 1 crashing to the outside. The three heels then try to escape but Hassan and co are on them quickly and chase them through the crowd much to the fans amusement.
Suddenly the focus is returned to ringside however as Triple H leaves the announce table and gets into the ring. Danielson is just groggily trying to get to his feet at this stage and despite all his efforts tonight the big statement isnt from him as the show closes instead its that of HHH as the game gives him an almighty pedigree.
After the show the place to be seems to BWA.com as the place is flooded with hits following footage being posted of a supposed secret meeting between BWA chairman Bounty Hunter and the heads of both Monday Night Grappling & WECEF. It seems the card for the upcoming tri-branded PPV live from the Hanoi Hilton in Viat Nam is the topic under discussion and message boards are already going wild with talk of CM Punk vs Bryan Danieslon, HBK & Danielson in a mentor/pupil encounter or a potential DX reunion among other possibilities

Commentator – Ladies and Gentlemen welcome to the Spongezone for another season of Spongey Wrestling Entertainment. We have assembled a top quality group of wrestlers ready to entertain the SWE universe and with Spongemania II coming up in a few short weeks we are bound to have a few exciting live shows to look forward to. It looks like we’re going to start with the co-owner and GM of SWE, Stephanie McMahon.
In the ring
Stephanie McMahon comes out the ring to address the SWE universe. She is enthusiastic and announces that as expected Bob Backlund would defend his SWE Heavyweight Championship in the main event. She also announces that the challenger would be decided by a Beat The Clock challenge whereby the quickest winner of the three matches in the challenge would be the challenger for theSWE Heavyweight Championship.
Match: Beat The Clock Challenge Tito Santana vs Wade Barrett
Wade Barrett comes out to the ring accompanied by Drew McIntyre, the newly crowned SWE Interprovincial champion. Out comes Tito Santana to a huge applause. He rushes to the ring and the trio quickly retreat. Barrett slowly gets back in the ring and the match starts. It starts off slowly with both wrestlers applying holds and countering them. The momentum swings towards Barrett after Santana attempts to come off the ropes but has his foot grabbed by McIntyre unseen by the ref. This distraction allows Barrett to take control and slowly beats Santana down. Thinking he has the match won he raises Santana over his shoulders ready for his Wastleland finisher but Santana elbows Barrett and escapes it and dropkicks Barrett. This leaves both wrestlers on the mat and while McIntyre is urging Barrett to get up, Santana is first up and starts unleashing his high tempo offense first with a diving clothesline and then with a running crossbody. Barrett does not know what happened and before he knows it Santana hits him with his finisher, the flying forearm smash. Santana goes for the pin but McIntyre places Barrett’s foot on the ropes and this stops the count. Santana is not happy and remonstrates outside the ring with McIntyre. The ref intervenes and ushers McIntyre away. This allows Barrett to hit Santana from behind, throw him back in the ring to allow him to hit the Wastleland on Santana and the ref slides back in the ring to count the 1-2-3. Winner: Wade Barrett in a time of 9 minutes and 37 seconds.
Wade Barrett grabs to mic to address the crowd. He introduces himself as a proud resident of the greatest country in the world, Great Britain. He says that Great Britain were the biggest empire in the world and once ruled over Ireland who he claims is a sham of a country. The crowd are angry and boo and throw plastic bottles at the ring. He says that he will win the SWE Heavyweight championship to add to Drew’s interprovincial title and the promotion will have no choice but to meet our demands and move to England where the greatest wrestling fans are and the world will be great once again. Barrett and McIntyre go to head back up the ramp when the Godfather comes out and has a referee with him. He’s looking to challenge Drew McIntyre for the SWE Interprovincial championship. However McIntyre has other ideas and quickly escapes through the crowd to avoid the match. The crowd don’t like this and even throw a few punches at McIntyre as he is escaping.
Backstage/In the Ring
We see a door with APA written on it. We go inside and see a table with Faarooq drinking beer and playing cards with what appears to be a mannequin dressed up as Bradshaw. He’s well on it and seems to be having a conversation with the mannequin. It seems like Faarooq can’t let go of former glories when they were a success as the Acolyte Protection Agency. Bradshaw’s life has gone up since those days but Faarooq’s life seems to be worse than ever.
There is a knock on the door and in comes Jamie Noble. In his best redneck accent he says that he’s come into a bit of money and needs a bodyguard. Faarooq stumbles out of his chair and slurs that he and his partner are happy to help. Noble looks at him oddly as if what partner? Noble makes his way to the ring to address the SWE universe. Faarooq stumbles drunkenly behind him still drinking his can of beer.
Noble grabs the mic in the ring and introduces himself as Jamie Noble and that he has come into a lot of money when he won $1,000 in the US lottery (the crowd laugh). He says its time for him to live the life of luxury and has hired the best protection money can buy to keep all you thieving bastards from robbing his fortune. The crowd boo and laugh at the same time. Noble further adds that he intends to challenge the holder of the SWE Interprovincial Championship right here next week.
Match: Beat The Clock Challenge ‘The Pope’ D’Angelo Dinero vs Pat Patterson
The Pope D’Angelo Dinero comes out to the ring. Just as he reaches the ring he stretches both hands in the air and lots of €20 notes start falling from the ceiling. The crowd go manic and grab all the notes as they fall. Pat Patterson comes out and looks like he means business. The crowd don’t like Patterson and boo accordingly.
The match starts slowly with Patterson avoiding grappling with Pope at every opportunity even taking a few breathers outside the ring. His tactics seem strange as time is crucial in this match. Pope starts getting impatient and chases Patterson around the ring and as he slides in the ring Patterson is there to start stomping on Pope. This starts a slow and methodical beat down of Pope and the seconds are ticking away. The Pope is helpless but Patterson can’t get the pinfall. Patterson gives out to the ref about the close calls. He goes to pick up Pope for more punishment but Pope counters with a double knee facebreaker which stuns Patterson enough for Pope to get the pinfall. Patterson can’t believe it and looks up at the clock to see that Dinero got the win with seconds to spare. Winner: ‘The Pope’ D’Angelo Dinero in a time of 9 minutes and 15 seconds.
Backstage
D’Lo Brown and the Godfather are talking backstage. The Godfather notes that it was sad to see Faarooq the way he was. D’Lo Brown agrees and says he can’t let go of the past. Bradshaw was able to move on to better things but Faarooq can’t. Brown suggests that they reform the Nation of Domination to help Faarooq. The Godfather immediately pours cold water on that idea by saying he did not want racial stereotypes to come into the SWE. He then grabs his pimp suit and says his goodbyes to Brown to take care of his pimp bu’ness
Match: Beat The Clock Challenge ‘Macho Man Randy Savage vs Finlay
Macho Man comes out to great applause. The SWE universe recognises the legend that is coming down to the ring. Macho Man waits in the ring and there is silence. The long wait is over when a voice fills the arena “My name is Finlay and I love to fight” The crowd go ballistic, an Irishman, one of their own is coming to the ring with his shillelagh in hand. The bell rings and both men go at it. Finlay takes the physical approach and Macho Man is very technical in his approach. The momentum swings both ways until the hard hits take their toll on Savage and Finlay has control. Finlay has Savage set up for a Celtic Cross and the crowd sense that they are one step closer to an Irish champion. Savage reverses it and takes the offensive as the clock reaches two minutes to go. Savage attempts a few quick pinfalls but Finlay easily kicks out. Savage gets Finlay into a piledriver and Finlay is motionless in the ring. Savage looks at the clock and sees 30 seconds left, points to the top turnbuckle and the crowd cheer. Savage gets up onto the top rope and a diving elbow drop later is pinning Finlay for the win with 7 seconds left on the clock. Macho Man wins the Beat The Clock Challenge and advances to a SWE Heavyweight Championship match against Bob Backlund later tonight. Savage helps Finlay up, shakes hands with him and raises his hand in acknowledgment of a great effort. The crowd love this gesture. Winner: Macho Man Randy Savage in a time of 9 minutes and 8 seconds.
Stephanie McMahon’s Office
Macho Man Randy Savage comes in to see Stephanie bent over a desk working. Savage admires the view and lets out an “ooh yeahhh”. Stephanie turns around. Savage thanks her for the title opportunity and asks her out after the show. Stephanie is flattered but turns him down. Savage leaves and bumps into D’Angelo Dinero on his way out. Savage compliments Dinero on his shades. Dinero does likewise. Stephanie thanks Dinero for coming and congratulates him on his match earlier. Stephanie asks if there is anything she can do for him. Dinero comments that he would not mind a title shot at the SWE Heavyweight champion next week. Stephanie confirms it and says to Dinero that there is things he can do to her in return. She closes the door for privacy.
Match: D’Lo Brown vs Rick ‘The Model’ Martel
Both wrestlers are in the ring ready to get the match started when music starts and out comes Kane. Both wrestlers are stunned and turn to face Kane as he’s coming down the ramp. He gets in the ring and both D’Lo and Martel attack Kane. Kane quickly brushes them off and beats the two men down. He gives both men a choke slam and the two are laying motionless in the ring. Martel manages to roll out of the ring but Brown is not so lucky. Kane gives Brown another choke slam and finishes him off with a tombstone piledriver. Kane raises his arms and quickly slams them down and the four corners light up in flames. Result: No Contest
Backstage
SWE Heavyweight champion Bob Backlund is backstage being interviewed. Backlund is asked what his feelings were on the main event title match. “How do you think I feel? I’m just after finding out who my opponent is, do you think that’s fair? It is becoming clear that this company does not respect my ability but they won’t take this championship away from me without a fight.” And Backlund storms off.
Main Event: SWE Heavyweight Champion Bob Backlund vs Macho Man Randy Savage
Macho Man receives a huge welcome to the ring after his performance earlier in the night against Finlay. Backlund comes to ring with intent, obviously not happy about having to defend his championship. Backlund starts off better continually trying to score a quick pinfall or apply a submission move but Savage escapes each attempt easily enough. Savage takes advantage of a Backlund mistake and has control of the match. Backlund is lying down on the mat and Savage goes to the top rope ready for his signature elbow drop. However in mid air Backlund rolls out of the way. Backlund sees his opportunity and tries to apply the cross face chicken wing on Savage. Savage squirms about and manages to reach the ropes before it could be locked in. The ref attempts to break up the hold which Backlund reluctantly does and starts to complain to the ref for having to break it up. His back is turned to Savage who sneaks up behind him, rolls him up, grabs his tights for extra leverage and the ref counts 1-2-3. The crowd go wild in celebration. Winner and new SWE Heavyweight Champion: Macho Man Randy Savage.
Macho Man leaves the arena with the championship and Backlund is in the ring still complaining to the ref. The complaining is shortlived as music fills the arena. The titantron comes on and it’s Goldberg and he is walking. Backlund is confused and is pointing towards the screen wondering what the hell is goin on.. Fireworks appear on the stage and out comes Goldberg who makes his way down to the ring. He has a mic with him and says “So Backlund, do you want to know who’s next?” The crowd shout “Who’s next?” Goldberg replies “You are” drops the mic and rushes towards Backlund and spears him. Backlund writhes around in agony as Goldberg acknowledges the cheers of the crowd and walks back up the ramp.
THE END
PS. The anti-Irish views of SWE superstar Wade Barrett do not represent the views of the SWE and its co-owner Mr Spongey who is and will always be a proud Irishman

Previously on MNG...- Shawn Michaels brought back the old HBK after old pal Ricky Morton opened the Pandora's Box. What has HBK got in store tonight?
- Konnan became the MNG Legends Champ eliminating Nick Bockwinkel in a battle royal.
- Ultimate Warrior debuted and chased away Batista. What will he have to say tonight?
Fireworks go off from the Tokyo Dome, Japan for the first ever MNG show here.Commentary: We are here in Japan and we are told that finally at long last HBK vs Misawa will finally be made official for Grapplemania. Also 3 tag teams meet for a chance to face the Midnight Express for the tag titles at the PPV.
Jim Cornette is in the ring with some interpreters and he looks very happy.
Cornette says last week Michaels looked to have put his problems behind him and thanked Ricky Morton for bringing out the old HBK. He says things are looking up and added agreement with BWA and WECWF on a triple threat supershow looks to be close. Cornette said by destroying those rivals and bringing back HBK, things were looking up for him.
Cornette then introduced Manami Toyota to a huge ovation. She spoke in Japanese and through interpreters we learned that she vowed to take the women's title from Trish at the PPV. Cornette then introduced Trish who got a great reaction from the men in the audience. Toyota extended her hand and after some hesitation Trish shook it. Cornette then announced Toyota would see action right now against the newly signed...Mickie James!
Match - Manami Toyota vs Mickie James
A first ever match-up between these ladies. During the match we saw a pre-recorded clip from earlier with Mickie saying she hoped a win would put her in the title frame. Trish sat and watched the match from ringside. This was a great back-and-forth match which went twenty minutes with Toyota finally picking up the win with a spike piledriver.
Winner: Manami Toyota
Trish nodded in respect at Toyota's performance and afterwards Mickie shook hands with Toyota. Suddenly the face of Aja Kong appeared on screen to a big pop from the fans.
Kong spoke in Japanese first and the crowd went 'ohhhhh' as Toyota looked concerned. Trish and Mickie looked confused, then Aja spoke in English and said she was coming for Mickie James. As the camera panned away we could see Kong wearing a Mickie James t-shirt sitting in a room filled with pictures of Mickie.
Commentary: What kind of sick woman is this and what does she want with Mickie James?*backstage we see the New Rockers Marty Jannetty and Al Snow but Jannetty doesn't look happy*
Al: Come on Marty cheer up. We've got a tag team title shot tonight. I'm happy and so is she (he holds up head).
Marty: Listen Al. I hated this dumb gimmick the last time I did it with you and I didn't expect to be doing this sh*t again.
Al: Marty you walked out on this gimmick 15 years ago and I had to struggle on alone to make it after that. You owe me, Marty.
(Al walks off and Marty looks on not too pleased. We then hear a cough in the background..it's Shawn Michaels.
Michaels asks Jannetty if he is gonna let Snow talk to him like that. He tells Jannetty he has a hell of a party lined up and if Marty wants to reunite the real Rockers and party like old times he has to ditch the dead wood.
Jannetty says HBK isn't afraid of making enemies especially since half the roster wants to tear his head off after what he did last week. Michaels says he has assurances from the owner no one can touch him and if he thinks he's hated now wait until later on tonight as he vowed to drop a bombshell that would shake the industry to its core...
Match 2 : Batista vs local talent
The local from Tokyo was quickly done away with by an angry Batista. He finished the young man off with a spinebuster followed by the Batista Bomb.
Winner: Batista
Batista grabbed a mic afterwards and said he wasn't afraid of Warrior. He called him out.
A video package then appears on the titantron showing Batista destroying stars from his career - Cena, Taker, HHH, and so on. As the video ends the camera pulls back to show Warrior staring at a screen backstage. He turns away and looks into the camera.
Warrior: You...Dave Bow-teeesta. You....are an uncaged animal (he moves back and forth)
You Dave Bow-teeesta...are an animal unleashed that devours his prey but I...Dave Bowteeeesta....I AM NOT YOUR PREY! THE WARRIOR GETS HIS POWER FROM THAT WHICH YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND! WHEN THAT WHICH IS BEING UNCIRCLED STANDS IN THE SHADOWS BEDECKED IN ITS CAMOUFLAGE THEN...AND ONLY THEN...WILL THE HUNTER REALISE THAT HE - HE IS THE ONE THAT HAS BECOME THE HUNTED.
WHEN YOU DAVE BOWTEEESTA FACE OFF AGAINST THIS WARRIOR...THE POWERS OF ALL THE WARRIORS FLOATING IN MY VEINS WILL SHADOW MY WEAKNESSES, CAMOUFLAGE MY EXPOSURE AND ENSURE YOUR FINAL END AT THE HANDS OF THE LAST ONE LEFT - THE ULTIMATE WARRRRRYAAAAAGHHHHHH!
THERE WILL BE NO HIDING PLACE FOR US. THERE WILL BE NOWHERE LEFT TO RUN. YOU, ME, NO DQ MATCH AND AT GRAPPLEMANIAAAAAA. THE HUNTER BECOMES THE HUNTED
AAAAAAAGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!
Batista looks on dumbfounded as the message ends and he mouths bring it on.
An MNG interviewer runs up to Warrior and announces that there are rumours Warrior and Batista will be teaming up at the triple promotion supershow and that Iron Sheik might be involved. He asks Warrior what he thinks...
THE WARRIOR FEARS NO ANIMAL - AND THE WARRIOR FEARS NEITHER THE MADNESS OF THE SHEIK. IF SHEIK WANTS TO TAKE IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL BROTHER - THE POWER OF THE WARRIORS WILL CARRY ME THROUGH AND WHEN I GO TO THAT OTHER LEVEL BROTHER - IT WILL BE INSANE IN THE MEMBRANE...YAAAARRRGGHHHHH!!!!!!!Commentary: Our Japanese fans don't understand a word that's just been said but if its any consolation our English speaking audience likely didn't either.
Backstage we see Konnan with his MNG Legends Title.
Bockwinkel approaches and holds up his unified WECWF Legends Title and says he should be the MNG Legends champ as well. Konnan says that belt is so last year and asks if he's so classy why didn't he return the belt to its rightful organisation. Bockwinkel says if they want it they can try to take it back at the supershow.
Bockwinkel's partner Ray Stevens enters and says they need to concentrate on the tag match. He warns Konnan he could cripple him like he nearly crippled RNR's Robert Gibson two weeks ago. Suddenly Gibson jumps Stevens and a big melee breaks out and they brawl to the ring so the match gets under way.
Match: Rock 'n' Roll Express vs Bockwinkel & Stevens vs The New Rockers (Tag Team elimination match to determine number 1 contenders for tag titles)
Al Snow came out but Jannetty wasn't there. Snow looked pissed off. The tag champs the Midnight Express were watching everything on a monitor backstage.
The match was pretty chaotic with many blind tags. Gibson nearly got dq'd as he went after revenge on Stevens. Poor Al looked like he was done for as Bockwinkel and Stevens focused on him. Suddenly Jannetty came down as the fans cheered. He got on the apron and as Al made the tag to a big pop - Jannetty entered - then turned and began beating on Snow!
Jannetty hit a piledriver on Snow and then made the tag on his unconscious partner before storming off. 'Screw this sh*t' he shouted.
Bockwinkel made the pin for an easy elimination as we were down to the final teams.
The New Rockers are eliminated
The RNR and Stevens and Bockwinkel put on a tag team clinic for the appreciative Japanese audience for the next 20 minutes. The finish saw Morton jumping to the outside on Bockwinkel as they brawled on the floor. With Stevens distracted by this, Gibson got the shoulder slide on Stevens for a 1-2-3 victory.
Winners and number 1 contenders: The Rock 'n' Roll ExpressCommentary: So Gibson gets revenge on the man who tried to cripple him and the RNR will meet the Midnight Express on the biggest stage either have ever competed in.
The Midnight Express looked disappointed backstage that they would now face their old rivals for the gold.
Afterwards a demented Ray Stevens gave a piledriver to the referee and screamed he was the crippler and he'll cripple anyone who gets in his way. Cornette found Stevens backstage and told him many are scared to face him at Grapplemania as they think he's a maniac, but that the final draft pick will be Steven's opponent and he might be surprised who it turns out to be. Cornette then left for the contract signing...
Main Event: Contract signing for HBK vs Misawa
The ring was filled with flowers and a Japanese and US flag. It was being billed as the greatest from Japan vs the greatest from America. Jim Cornette appeared and stressed how relieved he was for the sake of his job that this match will go ahead. He then introduced to the audience the return of...Shawn Michaels!
Michaels came out wearing some skimpy shorts and strutted around as the girls in the crowd screamed for him. The mood changed dramatically however as Michaels entered the ring, took off his shirt and began rubbing the flowers all over his body.
The Japanese fans didn't know how to react to this. Cornette tried to settle him down but Michaels then grabbed the Japanese flag and began humping it like he did to the Canadian flag in 1997. Some Japanese fans stood up, shocked at this show of disrespect that were not used to. Michaels stuck the flag up his nose and began goofing around in an obnoxious manner.
*Misawa's music then hit*
Misawa entered the ring and was shocked at what he was seeing. He began arguing with Cornette. Through his interpreters it was explained to Michaels that Misawa was happy the match would happen but was confused by HBK's new attitude. Michaels began making silly faces to all this.
Misawa went on to say he was hurt by this as he believed the business was about honour.
Michaels took out a hankee that had Misawa's face on it and began blowing his nose in an OTT manner pretending he was sobbing...Michaels eventually grabbed a mic.HBK: Enough with the hero stuff. Make sure you interpreters here me loud and clear here. The guy who told you he respected you two weeks ago is gone. That guy was a phony and a liar. I am the most real thing on TV Misawa and I'm here to tell you this - I don't respect you. I don't respect your country. I don't respect your people. You might think you are the best in the biz but brother, believe me, you have never met a performer with as much passion as the Heartbreak Kid Shawn Michaels.
HBK: As for you Jim Cornette - my terms are simple. Make the match no interference, no crazy stips. A one-on-one match between us to determine the better man and I'll sign on the dotted line.
Cornette: I know your terms Michaels. You told me them over the phone. It's all in there.
(Michaels claps in a silly sarcastic manner. He signs the papers and Misawa then follows suit.)
Cornette: It's official folks. The biggest match in our company's history will take place at Grapplemania. No interference allowed.
(Cornette goes to shake Michael's hand but Michaels begins laughing hysterically as Cornette and Misawa look on confused.
HBK: Don'tcha just love it when a plan comes together? I'm afraid you just signed away your company's future, Jimbo.
Cornette: What are you talking about?
HBK: Last week before my old pal Ricky Morton reawakened the guy you see before you, I was determined to retire. I had 'lost my smile' once again. And so desperate was the owner of this company to tie up my services for the PPV, that he tried to convince me to stay by offering me a new, shorter contract. One that I then decided to accept. A contract that runs until...Grapplemania.
I guess you have been so busy with this Tokyo show you failed to get the memo. I'm sure the owner has been trying to get a hold of you all week.
Now that my smile is firmly back on my face, unfortunately for you and the owner, I do NOT intend to retire whatsoever. Instead I am gonna do what I stopped Bret Hart from doing in 1997. I will take your World Title and bring it with me to a rival organisation and the only chance you clowns have of stopping me is this guy Misawa beating me in the ring but that just ain't gonna happen bub. You can think of this as the ultimate screwjob.
Cornette: You son of a bitch. You're not taking this title out of here. I'll sue you for everything you've got, you'll see.
HBK: Sue me? Uh aren't you the guy that brought in Nick Bockwinkel with his title from WECWF and had him parade it everywhere? No court will side with a hypocrite Jimbo and besides - there ain't a company in the world that won't want the services of the showstoppa.
I'll be well paid whereever I go. I could go anywhere I want. CWA, FCW, SWE. I could reunite with my good friend Vince McMahon in WECWF. I could finally make that move to HVCW or - and I like this idea a lot - maybe I'll go hook up with my best friend Hunter in BWA. That one would really hurt you wouldn't it Cornette? (he laughs hysterically)
Make no mistake - the Heartbreak Kid is leaving the building for good at Grapplemania and he's walking away with Misawa's World Title.
(Interpreters are relaying all of this to the fans and Misawa who looks on shocked. Michaels walks over to Misawa.
HBK: As for you LEGEND, allow me to tell you how I feel in a language that's universal...
(With that Michaels floors Misawa with some Sweet Chin Music as his music plays. He picks up the title and smiles and begins doing crotch chops to a shocked crowd as Cornette looks on in horror.)
Commentary: My goodness the old HBK is back alright and now he promises to screw this company out of its World Championship. Only Misawa can save us now from the brink of ruin. Damn you Shawn Michaels. Damn you, ya son of a bitch!
The credits roll.Confirmed card for Grapplemania so far:

Commentator – Welcome to another episode of Spongey Wrestling Entertainment and what a show we have today. As announced last week the charismatic SWE Heavyweight champion Macho Man Randy Savage defends his championship against the equally charismatic Pope D’Angelo Dinero. What a main event that promises to be but it looks like we’ll be starting off this show with Wade Barrett and Drew McIntyre who are making their way to the ring.
In The Ring
Wade Barrett & Drew McIntyre make their way to the ring and carrying a union jack flag with them. Wade grabs a mic and asks the crowd to look at the perfect specimen of man standing before them and that is what England has to offer. He says there is nothing that even comes close here in Ireland. The crowd is continually booing. He goes on to say that he finds it beneath him as a proud Englishman to wrestle in a ****hole of a country like Ireland. Barrett can barely be heard above the booing. He goes on to say how disgraceful it is that D’Angelo Dinero is getting a title shot ahead of him and even goes on to say that maybe Savage is scared of facing him because he knows that he would easily win and become champion. The one thing for sure is that it’s only a matter of time before he is champion and he can leave this god forsaken country once and for all. Barrett continues by asking everyone to stand so they can sing the greatest anthem of all time and proceeds to attempt to sing God Save The Queen.
Finlay comes out to the stage and the crowd go wild. He has a mic with him and says he’s sick and tired of all the thrash talking about the beautiful country of Ireland. He asks the crowd to look at the specimen of man standing before you on this stage and wonder what this specimen can do to the pieces of **** standing in the ring. He drops the mic and runs to the ring with his shillelagh but both Barrett and McIntyre escape outside the ring and back up the ramp.
Match: The Godfather vs Rick ‘The Model’ Martel
Rick Martel comes out to the ring, grabs the mic and says that he was disgusted the way he lost his SWE Interprovincial championship and wants to get the belt back. His speech is shortlived as the Godfather’s music interrupts him. The Godfather makes his way to the ring and is followed by his posse of “ladies of the night”. The crowd love it and love the sight of all the beautiful ladies. He apologises for interrupting Martel but felt he needed to take care of bu’ness before the match. He tells Martel that according to his ledger he owes Godfather a lot of money for “services rendered” and he wants payment. Martel comments that this should be kept private and that he has an image to maintain and has found money is down since he lost his championship but once he gets it back he’ll sort what he owes. Godfather in a threatening voice says he’d better sort it quick.
The bell rings and the match starts and the Godfather starts at a very high tempo, too much for Martel. Godfather sets Martel up for the Ho Train but Martel ducks out of it in time. This gives Martel the advantage and he has Godfather reeling with a few dropkicks and backbreakers. He then poses for the crowd as the Godfather lay on the mat. The crowd boos heavily and one of the ‘hoes’ gets up on the apron. This distracts Martel enough for Godfather to give Martel a pimp drop and get the pin. That starts a party in the ring involving the Godfather and all the hoes. Winner: The Godfather
Stephanie McMahon’s Office
Wade Barrett & Drew McIntyre storm into Stephanie’s office and demands something be done about the shameful words spoken by Finlay. Stephanie agrees and proposes a match next week between McIntyre and Finlay. Both Barrett and McIntyre are happy with that. Stephanie adds that Barrett will be banned from ringside. This angers Barrett and McIntyre. Stephanie also adds that she wasn’t impressed with McIntyre’s behaviour last week in avoiding his match with the Godfather. She says that she has scheduled a match this week against Jamie Noble and his championship is on the line. McIntyre is furious. Stephanie finally adds that the match is next.
Match: SWE Interprovincial Champion Drew McIntyre vs Jamie Noble
Drew McIntyre is in the ring still angry at his exchanges with Stephanie McMahon. Wade Barrett is with him. Out comes Jamie Noble and has is new bodyguard Faarooq staggering behind him no doubt still intoxicated. McIntyre starts the match more aggressively and is throwing the smaller man Noble around the ring. A mistake by McIntyre allows Noble to build some offense. Noble applies a sleeper hold and McIntyre is fading. This prompts Barrett to get up on the apron to distract the referee. Noble breaks the hold to face up to Barrett but Faarooq runs around to take care of Barrett. He trips on his own feet though and falls over but luckily he manages to catch Barrett’s foot enough to make him fall off the apron. Noble turns back to face McIntyre who has got back to his feet and sluggishly runs at Noble to clothesline him. Noble ducks, proceeds to kick McIntyre in the gut and as McIntyre’s head is bent over, Noble connects with Paydirt, his signature underhook DDT and covers him for the pin. Winner and new SWE Interprovincial champion: Jamie Noble
Stephanie McMahon’s office
D’Angelo Dinero calls in to Stephanie’s office. The two smile at each other and Stephanie blushes (you can’t tell but Dinero is blushing too). Stephanie comments that she hasn’t seen Dinero all week. Dinero replies that after what happened last week he needed time to seek forgiveness from the man upstairs for his indiscretion. He also says he needs to seek forgiveness from Triple H for defiling his wife. Stephanie says that Triple H is more interested in sticking his head up her father’s ass than tending to her needs and no need for him to know what’s happening here. What happens in the SWE stays in the SWE (except when it’s on TV of course). Dinero reluctantly agrees and goes on to thank her for his title opportunity later tonight. Stephanie says it’s a reward for his tending of her needs and that he’d look well with gold around his waist. She also comments that she has more needs and closes the door to the office.
Match: Bob Backlund vs D’Lo Brown
D’Lo Brown is in the ring and has his chest strapped as a result of the beating he took at the hands of Kane last week. Bob Backlund comes out and has a mic with him. He says he is pissed off at how this company is treating him. He says that he is entitled to a rematch for the heavyweight championship and hasn’t got it yet and is forced to compete in a match against a nobody. He also says it was disgraceful that he was attacked last week by Goldberg and will deal with him in due course. He adds that if this disrespect continues he will be forced to take matters into his own hands. He subsequently gets in the ring and proceeds to target the rib area of Brown. Brown has no answer and when Backlund applies the crossface chicken wing Brown quickly taps. Backlund means business. Winner: Bob Backlund
Backstage
Jamie Noble is backstage with his bodyguard Faarooq. Noble is happy that he is now the SWE Interprovincial champion. He tells Faarooq that it is now his job to make sure he keeps his title. He says he’s going to leave the Spongezone so he can’t get challenged and when he’s gone that Faarooq will have to do his laundry. He says to make sure he scrubs really hard as there is some unwanted streaks on the inside of his wrestling gear.
Match: Goldberg vs Pat Patterson
Goldberg comes out to the ring and waits for his opponent but nobody comes out. Stephanie McMahon comes out with a mic and tells the crowd that Pat Patterson has been released and that she wished him the best in his future endeavors. She stresses that it had nothing to do with the fact he was gay but more that no-one would accept his challenge for a tables, ladders and closet match and tells Goldberg that he has a new opponent recently signed from the CWA. Out comes Hernandez as Goldberg’s new opponent. The two lock up but neither can get control and break. Both are showing their strength. A mistake by Goldberg allows Hernandez to get a few hits in. This does not last long as an attempted over the top rope dive misses Goldberg who ducks out of the way. This allows Goldberg to apply the Jackhammer to Hernandez and he gets the pin. As the referee raises Goldberg’s hand in victory Bob Backlund rushes out to attack Goldberg. Goldberg sees it in advance, ducks out of the way, comes off the rope and spears Backlund. Backlund rolls out of the ring in agony and retreats back up the ramp. Goldberg is laughing in the ring and celebrating his win. Winner: Goldberg
Backstage
Drew McIntyre is backstage still feeling the effects of his title loss earlier. Wade Barrett catches up with him and passes on his unhappiness at McIntyre losing his championship earlier. He points out that he better win next week against Finlay or he could be in for sterner punishment.
Match: Kane vs Tito Santana
Kane comes out to the ring and is booed as he waits in the ring. Tito Santana comes out with huge energy and runs to the ring. As soon as he gets to the ring he attacks Kane. The ref rings the bell and Kane is subjected to a flurry of offense from Santana. This all changes with one uppercut from Kane. That’s it for Santana as Kane destroys Santana ending it with a tombstone piledriver. Kane celebrates his win with his customary four rings on fire celebration. Winner: Kane
Backstage
D’Lo Brown and The Godfather catch up with Faarooq. They see him folding laundry and drinking beer. They comment on how far he has fallen since his days with the APA. They forcefully tell him that he’s too good to be a personal slave for a redneck midget and needs to slap himself out of this rut and work to get back to his former glories. Faarooq seems angered by what is said but soon backs down and continues with his duties.
Main Event: SWE Heavyweight Champion Macho Man Randy Savage vs ‘The Pope’ D’Angelo Dinero
The Pope comes out first. The crowd love it and they go wild when €20 notes start falling from the ceiling. Pope gets in the ring to wait for his opponent. Next out is the SWE Heavyweight Champion Macho Man Randy Savage. The crowd go mad too as the champion makes his way to the ring milking the cheers. The two are in the ring and Savage points to Pope’s shades. The Pope takes off his shades and gives them to Savage. Savage puts Pope’s shades on and poses for the crowd. Pope then takes Savage’s shades and puts them on which leads to a twirl synonymous with Randy Savage. The crowd love it. The two get ready for their match, shake hands and the bell rings.
The match starts back and forth with each wrestler acknowledging the crowd after an impressive move. Pope takes control with some powerful punching combinations. He sets Savage up leaning over the second rope and leapfrogs the top rope to give Savage a guillotine. He poses with the crowd and they love it. He gets back in the ring and fires Savage into the corner and sets him up for the D’Angelo Dinero Express. He runs towards Savage but Savage escapes before Pope can hit the DDE. Momentum has turned and Savage begins to get some offense in. A few suplexes and atomic drops later and the Pope is struggling. He’s laying in the middle of the ring and Savage points to the top rope indicating his signature elbow drop move to finish off the match. He gets up on the top rope ready to fly when Wade Barrett and Drew McIntyre come ringside to throw Savage off the top rope. The ref rings the bell to signal the end of the match. McIntyre throws Pope outside the ring and the two of them begin to assault Savage. Savage is helpless but the Pope somehow gets back in the ring and makes the save. Barrett and McIntyre retreat up the ramp and Pope helps Savage back to his feet. Winner by DQ and still SWE Heavyweight Champion: Macho Man Randy Savage
THE END

Show 2 – Part 1
Friday Night Ignition
The show opens with the returning former world champion Christian in the ring
http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-YtdswzSDqS0/TtlQnffuDoI/AAAAAAAAAEU/tX5fsL6w3CI/s1600/Christian.jpg
He talks about losing his title and being out of action for the last four weeks because of a sneak attack and he is here tonight to find out who it was attacked him. He says he will stay right there in the ring until the culprit shows up. James Storm music hits and he makes his way to the ring mic in hand. Storm first says he wasn’t the one who attacked Christian and that is good to see him back. He talks about how similar they are both coming from great tag teams and trying not to be overshadowed by their former tag partner’s success. Storm feels it is his time for a shot at the world title and if he has to go through Christian he will but tonight he wants to face the arrogant son of a bitch Nigel McGuinness. Nigel McGuinness music hits and he makes his way out to the ring without his manager Bobby Heenan.
http://www.onlineworldofwrestling.com/pictures/d/desmondwolfe/27.jpg
Nigel McGuinness tells Storm to go have a beer as he isn’t in his league and that he will be the next world champion. Storm squares up McGuinness but they are interrupted by Cody Rhodes who is on the ramp with Ted DiBiase Jnr and Joseph Hennig who tells them to all shut up and that the world championship is going to him. He says that soon Ted will buy the promotion and The Generation Dominators will rule.
Bobby Heenan comes out and says that he has been made the Interim General Manager of LWE and now he is running the show. He says that the
next world champion will be crowned at the next ppv which is WrestleMayhem and that the persons competing for it will be Christian, James Storm, Cody Rhodes and Nigel McGuinness. Heenan says unfortunately he cannot manage McGuinness anymore as it would be a conflict of interest. Heenan tells Christian that he will be look into who attacked him, he tells Christian he is not yet cleared to wrestle so won’t be in action tonight but he says he to stick around and he makes James Storm V Nigel McGuinness with Christian as the special ref as the main event for tonight. Heenan says he is bringing hardcore to the LWE and it is not porn unfortunately but that the hardcore title is coming to the LWE. He says tonight there will be a battle royal that is open to anyone on the LWE roster for the hardcore title.
Heenan also says that tonight the tag team titles were to be defended against John Morrison and Joey Mercury but John Morrison has now asked for a match against Brian Pillman and that will take place next and it will be a falls count anywhere match. We see backstage that they have both already started fighting. Both finally make it out to the ring, after a lengthy 20 minute battle Pillman picks up the win after a pin on the ramp.
Up next is Lita V Natalya for the Women’s championship. Backstage we Natalya tell Cody she has this and don’t need any assistance at ringside and comes out alone. Nearing the end of the match Lita goes up top for moonsault and the pin but Beth Phoenix runs in and takes her out. Beth also takes out Natalya. Heenan comes out and says that all three of them will battle it out in a ladder match at the ppv for the title. Beth picks up the title and smiles.
David Otunga comes out to the ring dressed like Crockett from Miami Vice with sunglasses on. He gets on the mic and says that he was just at the grammy awards where is lovely fiancé Jennifer Hudson aka Jhud stole the show, he says everyone in Hollywood is after him that is he Mr. Hollywood and now he wants to be Mr. WrestleMayhem and that he should be competing for the world title also at the ppv. Jimmy Wang Yang comes out to the ring with a mic, he asks Otunga could he hook him up with JLo for a duet. Otunga looks confused and tells him to get out of the ring. Again Yang keeps saying JLo, JLo, JLo. Otunga knocks Yang’s cowboy hat off and laughs. He calls him a redneck and that he isn’t fit to shine his Jimmy Choo shoes. Otunga goes to knock him out but Yang counters and knocks Otunga down. Otunga rolls out of the ring while Yang signals him to come back in. Yang picks up his cowboy hat and Otunga's sunglasses and wears them. Otunga teases going back in the ring but instead leaves.
Backstage we see Teddy Hart ask Cody Rhodes again if he can join his group, Cody starts to beat on him. Heenan passes and tries to break it up. Cody strikes Heenan and knocks him down tbc……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
Show 2 – Part 2
Security take Rhodes and away and help Heenan up to his feet. Heenan tells Rhodes he will pay for that.
In the ring next for the battle royal for the Hardcore Title is Nigel McGuinness, Ted Dibiase Jr, Brian Pillman, Brutus Magnus, John Morrison, Joey Mercury, Joseph Hennig, David Otunga, Beth Phoenix, Steve Blackman, Ricky Steamboat Jr, Jimmy Wang Yang, Tyler Reks and Rob Terry. The match starts and Terry seems to eliminating pretty fast with Magnus, Mercury and Hennig all gone. Reks eliminates Terry who is livid outside. Teddy Hart comes out and enters despite being injuried and is quickly eliminated by Beth who is then eliminated by McGuinness. Steamboat and Yang also next to be eliminated. DiBiase, Otunga and Morrison go next. So we are left with McGuinness, Reks, Blackman and Pillman. Blackman eliminates McGuinness and Reks and we are left with Blackman and Pillman. In the end Blackman picks up the win and is now the new LWE Hardcore Champion.
Up next is the main event which is James Storm V Nigel McGuinness with Christian as the special referee. Christian is slow to count a pin for both and they tackle him about this but he shows them his ref shirt. Half way during the match Cody Rhodes comes down to the ringside and joins the commentary team. He says that the match is like watching paint dry and that someone should put a end to it, he gets up and motions for Ted DiBiase Jnr and Joseph Hennig to come down. Storm gets a role up on McGuinness and goes for a quick cover but Rhodes pull Christian from the ring and into the announce table. Rhodes then enters the ring from one side as Ted DiBiase Jnr and Joseph Hennig enter from the other side and knock down Storm and McGuinness with their title belts. Heenan comes out and Rhodes and Ted DiBiase Jnr and Joseph Hennig exit through the crowd. Heenan checks the damage as McGuinness and Storm are down in ring and Christian down outside the ring as the show ends.0 -

.....................................................................................
Greg "The Hammer" Valentine is shown sleeping backstage, with the Hardcore Title nearby. Crash Holly sneaks in and covers him.
Crash: Count, quietly.
Ref: 1.....2...
Greg, still asleep, rolls over.
Crash: Goddammit.
Ref shrugs his shoulders as Crash tries to pin Greg's shoulders back down.
Greg wakes up: Hey, what the ****! Get off me.
J.R.: Oh my!
He pushes Crash to the floor. Suddenly they go at it. Heads banging off everything. Finally Crash gives up and leaves, but Greg stands there looking angry and a little bloody.
Greg: Sneaky bastard, I was trying to sleep.
Goes to a shot of the crowd.
J.R.: Hello and welcome to PWF Impact! We are at a sold out in arena in Atlantic City, New Jersey
"Here comes the money..........."
(mixed reaction)
J.R.: And here comes Shane McMahon, the new owner of PWF impact. A lot of mysteries surrounding him lately, much of which he hasn't spoken about yet. We are yet to hear his plans for the PWF since he bought it over two weeks ago. I wonder if he will clarify some of this tonight.
Shane: You know, all my life I've lived in the shadow of my father. Even when I bought WCW I couldn't get the best stars to invade WWE like I always dreamed. I wanted to show that I am the man of the McMahon family. The failure of that invasion is my biggest regret. Now, for once I will prove that I can be better than my father ever was. I've signed the best ever WWE stars, the best WWE commentators, the best WWE everything. This Federation will take all that was good about the WWE and none of the bad. Say goodbye to PG, cheesy jokes and divas matches.
(cheers)
Shane: Say hello to the greatest matches of all time, in every show, not just every 5 weeks. I will start by announcing an incredible card for tonight with number one contenderships and titles on the line! Following his good start to the PWF, Sheamus will challenge the tag-team champion Road Dogg for the number one contendership for the PWF Championship!
(cheers)
Brutus Beefcake will take on his rival Rikishi!!!!!!
(cheers)
Shane: R-Truth will defend his Intercontinental championship against the longest-serving Intercontinental Champion in history, the Honky Tonk Man.
(cheers)
Shane: And finally, Hulk Hogan will put his title on the line tonight! With the winner defending his title against the number one contender, decided earlier in the night, at our first PPV, Shane O'Mac's very own wrestling extravaganza, BattleMania!!!!
J.R.: Battle-Mania?
Shane: I know that you all want to know who the Hulkster will face. In order to decide that............
Some old style music hits.
J.R.: What the...?
J.R.: Oh my God...it's Sammartino, Bruno Sammartino!!!!!!!
(cheers)
Shane looks shocked.
J.R.: I don't think Shane was expecting this. It's the longest-serving WWE champion in history. What is he doing here in the PWF?
Bruno: I'm sick to death of modern wrestling, or should I say, "Sports Entertainment." The McMahon family have torn apart everything that was good about wrestling and replaced it with bikini models and stunt actors. Here is a reminder of what wrestling used to be like.
A video is played of Bruno Sammartino's best career moments.
Bruno: That is what is called Classic Wrestling. This (points to the ring) is crap!
(crowd starts showing their dislike of Bruno)
Bruno: I hoped that you might be different to your father, but no. Who is your champion? Hulk Hogan!! He's pathetic. Give me a title shot at BattleMania and I will show him what real wrestling is all about.
Shane: Bruno, your time is gone. I don't want a legend such as yourself to be embar....
Bruno: Embarrassed, huh? You should be embarrassed. I have never seen such crap as I've seen on here over the last couple of weeks.
Shane: Fine, ya know what, ya got your chance. But I'm not gonna wait till then. You are going to fight him..........tonight!!!
J.R.: Oh my god!
Bruno is shocked but then smiles.
Shane: Saves me from having to think of a way to decide who should face Hogan.
Bruno: I want the title on the line.
Shane: Sure, we don't have non-title matches here!
Bruno: I've come back to show these fans what good wrestling is all about. And tonight I will do just that.
J.R.: Good god almighty, Hogan and Sammartino. This is one of the biggest clashes in history, and it's going to happen........tonight!
Sheamus's music hits and he walks up the ramp to join Jim Ross on commentary.
Scotty 2 Hotty vs Crash Holly
Scotty 2 Hotty entrance (mixed)
Sheamus: How are ya, fella?
J.R.: I'm ok, much better than last week.
Sheamus: Haha, that was hilarious when myself and Rikishi covered you in barbeque sauce.
J.R. Yeah, very funny. Hope you are proud of yourself.
Sheamus: Yeah, I am actually.
Crash Holly entrance (cheers).jpg)
J.R.: Crash Holly's been on a winning streak lately.
.....................................................
J.R.: Crash is down. And wait, look, it's the worm!! The crowd is on their feet.
Sheamus: What a ****e move!
J.R.: Come on now, the crowd love it.
Sheamus: I think they'd prefer it if I went and hit him with a Brogue Kick.
Suddenly, three guys run to the ring.
J.R.: Who the hell are these guys?
Sheamus: I think I remember them.
J.R.: Good god, it's the Mean Street Posse, what are they doing here.
JR: And...bah God! A steel chair, straight into the back of Scotty. Are they friends with Crash? Oh no, they are assaulting him too.
Sheamus: This is feckin' great!!!
J.R.: Good God almighty, what the hell is going on here!
Announcer: Ladies and Gentlemen, the referee has declared a no contest due to a double disqualification.
J.R.: Dammit, they just ruined a great match. For God's sake!!
Suddenly Pete Gas picks up a microphone.
Everyone is booing.
Pete Gas: Haha you stupid dumb marks, actually trying to enjoy this rediculous spectacle.
Sheamus: What the...?
Joey Abs: Stupid idiots. Probably think wrestling's real or something.
Booooo
Pete Gas: We couldn't stand by and watch this rediculous Scotty 2 Hotty push anymore. He can't wrestle, he's useless on the mic and he's only getting pushed by that idiot mark-enabler, Shane-O-Mac, because he's an old friend.
Rodney: Bad booking IMO.
Pete Gas: Yeah, bad booking, so we decided to do something about it. (boos)
Joey Abs: Boo all you like, but any of you stupid dumb marks wanna try to stop us?
boooooo
Pete Gas: We're no longer the Mean Street Posse. Say hello to the Mean Street Smarks!!!
Crowd is confused!!
J.R.: Mean Street what?
Sheamus: Jaysus of almighty, what the feck is this ****e!
Pete Gas: We're the smarks and we're here to fix up this rediculous organisation. Unlike you idiots we don't blindly cheer faces and boo heels, instead we analyse PWA Intensity every Monday looking for things to complain about, that's the real fun of Wrestling.
Joey Abs: Yeah, only some stupid dumb Marks would try to enjoy wrestling for what it is, instead of analysing every decision these idiot bookers make, like pushing Scotty 2 Hotty, or punishing Crash Holly, or letting Hulk Hogan walk over everyone.
Rodney: Bad Booking IMO.
Joey Abs: Yeah, bad booking, and we're sick of it. And what's with all the stupid non-wrestling promos, skits and interviews. Am I on a comedy show or a wrestling show?
Pete Gas: We won't stop until we've turned PWA Intensity into two hours of submission matches, between Daniel Bryan and Alberto Del Rio.
Joey Abs: We're the smarks, the IWC, the bane in the lives of idiot bookers like Shane McMahon, and anyone who tries to turn wrestling into stupid dumb entertainment which only morons like only you stupid idiot marks can enjoy.
Boooooooo
Rodney: Bad Booking IMO.
Pete Gas: Yeah, bad Booking.
J.R.: What a bunch of idiots.
Sheamus: Mean Street Gob****es, more like.
Scotty and Crash have got up and run towards the Mean Street Posse, who quickly leave the ring and run to ringside.
J.R.: Hopefully someone will stop these idiots from ruining this organisation. It's not like the Mean Street Posse were known for their immense wrestling ability themselves, who are they to criticise others?
.............................
J.R. Well, Sheamus you are up next.
Sheamus: Don't let anyone take my seat I'll be back in five minutes. And if you say anything bad about me while I'm away, I'll be warming these fists up on you.
Sheamus' music plays and he gets up from the announce table and walks to the ring.
J.R.: What an ignorant young man.
Announcer: This match is to decide the no.1 contendor for the PWF Championship. In the ring, from Dublin, Ireland; SHEAMUS!!!!!!!
Oh, you didnt know? Your ass better caaaaalllll somebody! Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls, Children of all ages: D-Generation X proudly brings to you, it's WWF (The World Wrestling Federation) TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS OF THE WOOORLD! The Road Dogg Jesse James, The Bad Ass Billy Gunn, The New Age Outlaws!!
Announcer: And his opponent, accompanied by the Bad Ass Billy Gunn, ROAD DOGG!!!!
Sheamus finally defeats the Road Dogg after a Brogue Kick. After the match he continues assaulting the Road Dogg.
J.R.: And here comes the Bad Ass Billy Gunn to stop this, oh but he gets thrown straight out of the ring. Whatever you think of him, there is no denying Sheamus' in-ring ability, he has dominated again tonight. Sheamus is going to Battle-Mania, but which champion will he face? That's the question on everyone's lips. Find out later tonight, as for the first time ever (I believe), the two longest serving WWE Champions in history will go one-on-one. I can't wait.

Backstage Inverview
Shane: I want to re-iterate the rules from last week. With the exception of the 24/7 Hardcore Title, anybody who attacks someone else outside the ring or interferes in matches will be suspended.
"ARE YOU READY FOR SOME BEEFCAKE?"
Brutus Beefcake entrance. Crowd cheers
J.R.: Certainly Shane's new rules regarding suspending anybody who interferes, paid off last week. As we had a clean victory for Sheamus and Rikishi for Hogan and Beefcake. In a related matter, Sheamus has re-joined me at ringside. Congratulations on the victory over Road Dogg. You are going to Battle-Mania.
Sheamus: Oh, so you decide to lick my arse all of a sudden. You know you remind me of my cousin Tom, coz he was a feckin' eejit. And a lickarse!
Rikishi entrance. Crowd boos.
Sheamus: Rikishi is gonna eat Beefcake for breakfast, and then ****e it out of his arsehole.
J.R.: Nice image. We all know you attacked Brutus last week.
Sheamus: You'd want to find some evidence to back those accusations up fella, or maybe you will find yourself beaten up next.
J.R.: Don't threaten me live on air. And please let these guys fight cleanly, we don't need any interference to help Rikishi.
Sheamus: Ah, will ya ever shut up! Rikishi doesn't need my help.
Rikishi is mostly in control.........
J.R.: And Beefcake hits the Apocalypse! Rikishi is down. And...wait a minute....someone just reached out from under the ring. They've got Beefcake with both hands and dragged him out of the ring. Whoever that is, is wearing a mask. And Beefcake's getting dragged under the ring. What the hell is happening under there. (pause).
Rikishi back on his feet now. Beefcake had the match nearly won. And he's fought his way out from under the ring, but he's busted open. Good god. Clambering back into the ring now, oh no, RIKISHI KICK!!!!!!! And the pin, 1.....goddamit, 2, kickout Brutus......3. Rikishi's won it. But who the hell was under the ring helping him.
Sheamus: Shane did announce that whoever interferes in matches will be suspended, JR.
J.R.: Yeah so they hid under the ring and wore an mask. Here's an idea...don't interfere in the damn matches, and you don't need to come up with these rediculous plots. (pause). I can't believe what happened here.
Sheamus: Wait, look at Brutus.
J.R.: Brutus has got out of the ring and he's looking underneath to find out who that guy was but, its' dark in there. Needle in a haystack.
Sheamus: I suppose you think I attacked him there as well.
J.R.: I stand corrected, but I suppose you and Rikishi are getting someone to do your dirty work for you.
Sheamus: You're talking ****e!
J.R.: Well if it's not you or Rikishi, then who the hell is attacking Brutus Beefcake, first last week and now this week!!
......................
J.R.: Two incredible matches still to come with the longest-serving WWE Heavyweight Champion and longest serving WWE Intecontinental Champion, both looking to take their titles back!!!
This is already long enough so let's just say R-Truth defeated Honky Tonk Man after a hard fought battle, to retain the Intercontinental Championship.
J.R.: Well, what an incredible night!!! And the main event is still to come.
Announcer: This match is for the PWF Championship. Introducing first, the challenger, weighing in at 280 pounds, BRUNO SAMMARTINO!!!!!!!
Voodoo Child (Slight Return) plays. The crowd cheers.
Announcer: And his opponent, the champion, weighing in at 302 pounds, Hulk Hogan!!!!!!!!!
J.R.: I bet you are hoping for Sammartino in this one, seen as you hate Hogan so much.
Sheamus: Actually I hope Hogan wins. I was looking forward to destroying Hulkamania once and for all at Battle-Mania!!
Bruno wears Hogan down with numerous submission manoeuvers. Finally he tires and with the will of the crowd, Hogan scores the win after a leg drop.
The announcer: "The winner of this match, and still PWF Champion, HULK HOGAN!!!"
Sheamus: Yes!!!! My plot to start Sheamus-Mania is coming to fruition!! I can't wait to beat the hell out of that yellow-orange bastard in two weeks time!
J.R.: I dunno about that, but good god, what a match. Another epic encounter here at the PWF, see ya next time!!!0 -
Welcome to BWA Raw!
We start the BWA's final TV show on their tour of Mexico amidst a lot of speculation with regards BWA No Way Out next week and the tri-promotional BWA/MNG/WECWF PPV on the horizon. One of the announcers is in the ring and kicks things off on the mic by introducing a man who has only just been signed to a BWA contract and a man who he says he is sure that the fans here in Mexico will be pleased to welcome to the ring just as they were with Blue Demon & Mil Mascaras the past two weeks. The man he introduces and who does indeed get a great reaction from the crowd is none other than... Blue Demon Jr.
Suddenly the arena lights are dimmed and blue smoke begins to rise, then as the lights come back up the man him himself Blue Demon Jr is standing next to the announcer in the ring who passes him the mic before swiftly exiting through the ropes.
Blue Demon Jr (Once the crowd reaction dies down enough for him to speak and after he has thanked them for the warm welcome) says that he asked his father not to accompany him out here tonight because he wanted to prove to the world that he is his own man. He says that his father is perhaps the greatest mexican wrestler of all time but that the Blue Demon bloodline is a strong one and he will not be relying on his father for recognition here in the BWA. He says that although his father is a former 2 time NWA World Welterweight Championship he was never a World Heavyweight Championship and yet already at his young age he has already not only done so but that he held that belt for over 500 days. He is almost starting to sound arrogant but the audience are seemingly with him each step of the way even as he states that he has conquored professional wrestling here in Mexico which is why he says he has joined the BWA. He then states that one day soon he will be the BWA champion also and then nobody can despute that he is not only the best Mexican wrestler at the moment but simply the best in the world.
It's at this point that he is interupted by the arrival and music of Dan "The Beast" Severn.Severn: God dammit, I am sick of this. Week after, week week we have to sit here and listen to another one of you masked mexicans going on about how your the best thing since sliced bread, well im sorry your not, your nothing. You held the NWA title for 500 days, try over 4 years, and that was when the title meant something. (If this was in America perhaps this would be going down well but its def not here tonight)
Honestly your deluded little man. If you think you will ever get a shot at the BWA title. I've been here a long time, a former American Olympic wrestling team member and UFC hall of famer. To summarise im a real man and yet ive not gotten a shot at the big belt here, hell im not even on the BWA No Way Out card so you know what, you wanna come out here and talk the talk, how about you try and walk the walk this sunday. Thats right Demon spawn you and me, 1 on 1 at No Way Out, what do you say?
Unfortunatley though just before Blue Demon Jr gets the chance to respond he is blindsided by Shelton Benjamin & Charlie Haas who after coming through the crowd on opposite sides of the arena attack him. They start beating down on him as Severn slowly makes his way into the ring as does Jeff Jarrett who has now also emerged from the crowd. Benjamin and Haas hold Blue Demon Jr up and Severn delivers a vicious near KO right hand to him kicking him off his feet but they arent satisfied and before Jarrett who now has the Mic in his hand speaks the process is repeated and Severn nearly cracks Blue Demon Jrs jaw.Jarett: We 4 are the Worlds Greatest stable and we have made an impression here tonight in Mexico (amidst a shower of boos, when they die down even a little he continues)... and we intend to do the very same this Sunday. Not only will I your American hero Jeff Jarrett (he seems to have forgotten where he is, as the boos continue)....will both defeat the terrorist in waiting Muhammad Hassan and retire the Intercontinental championship (replacing it witth the US title) so that it can never again fall into foreign hands, be that of a camel jockey or any no good lazy mexicans.
he then passes the Mic to Shelton Benjamin
Benjamin: Me and chalie here are the greatest tag team in the world today and were going to prove our point at No Way Out by getting the tag team belts back in American hands against those Kamikaze Samurai wannabes Hayabusa & Tanaka. [Haas then leans in onto the Mic]
Haas: O yeah and after last week (when he and Shelton won a match by DQ to earn the right to name the PPV stip) we have decided we will win the belts in our specialty match, a ladder match!
He then hands the mic to the seemingly new 4th member of the group Dan Severn
Severn: Meanwhile I will prove that its time the BWA management stop wasting their time with these no good immigrants they keep signing (big heat) and instead...
He is interupted by Blue Demon Sr and the crowd go wild as he charges down the ramp to help his boy. Before his music properly even kicks in he is in the ring and going toe to toe with Severn & Jarrett. Eventually the numbers get to be too much for him and he is knocked to the outside but he grabs his kids leg and drags him to the outside with him and helps him to stand.
Jarett and Co are goading him to get back into the ring when suddenly via the titantron BWA co GM Gorilla Monsoon appears. He briefly talks about how he is fed up of the how the self proclaimed worlds greatest stable have been acting here in the BWA and announces that he will have no more of it here tonight. His solution he says.... 8 man tag match! and who will partner The Father & Son Blue Demons you ask? well Monsoon has the answer. it will be Blue Demons 2 opponents at No Way Out and another two fellow Mexican Mil Mascaras & Rey Mysterio! and if that isnt enough he says that match is going to open the show tonight (lucky the WGS are dressed for action).
*Commercial break*
As we return from commercial break Rey Mysterio is making his way down to the seemingly reluctantly to join the other Mexicans at ringside including Mil Mascaras who made his enterance during the break. The announcers are speculating wether this is really a 3 on 4 match up as Blue Demon Jr def seems worse for wear before this begins.
Match 2: 8 man tag: The self proclaimed Worlds Greatest stable vs Rey Mysterio, Mil Mascaras, Blue Demon & Blue Demon Jr
This match is one the crowd really get into but just like in the opening promos they are left frustrated and booing as this one comes to its conclusion as Rey Mysterio Walks out on his Mexican brothers and in doing so essentially makes this a 4 on 2 match due to the pre match beating Blue Demon Jr took. Eventually it is Blue Demon Jr who after tagging himself in against his fathers wishes is caught in Jeff Jarrett's figure four leg lock and forced to tap out.
Winners: The WGS
backstage we see Bryan Danielson who later tonight has a match with Kenta Kobashi, he has this to sayDanielson: What can I say Josh (Matthews) the BWA isnt quite what I imagined it. Last week I got Pedigreed in the middle of the ring to close the show, my opponent for tonight made a sneak attack on a wrestling legend (Killer Kowalski) and now I see a bunch of Redneck hicks getting title shots and defeating legends... I mean it's mad.
Josh: Do you think you made a mistake coming here?
Danielson: Hell no! If legends like Kowalski dont get cut any slack then you know this is truely where the big dogs play. I mean Killer would would win the top belts in lower promotions like WECWF or MNG with ease but here he gets no respect. Now I've talked before about bringing a sense of respect back to the BWA title and (now staring right into the camera) Hunter maybe you have turned your back on one former mentor (Kowalski) but let me quote another of them for you, "To be the man you have to beat the man" and Hunter we all know you think you are the man so this sunday prove it, cos just like up next tonight when I take out Kenta kobashi for what he did to Kowalski I will fight an honourable fight at No Way Out because you know what... I am the Man! (as he says this he lifts his WWE world heavyweight championship up high). As we return to ringside the commentators speculate if when that belt is unified with the currently vacated BWA world title it will still be in Danielson's posession.
Bryan Danielson vs Kenta Kobashi
Match of the night and a real wrestling feast that more than compensates for the lack of ring action compared to promos tonight. They go nearly 20mins in what is a real sxhibition of the talents of not only BWA title challenger Bryan Danielson but also of Kenta Kobashi who really impresses before he will go 1 on 1 with Killer Kowalski this sunday. The finish eventually comes when KObashi trys to lock in a submission move only for Danielson to reverse it into his LaBelle lock which Kobashi is eventually forced to tap to for our second submission victory of the night.
Winner: Bryan Danielson
We head backstage and to an interview with Muhammad Hussan who has just arrived at the arena and is asked about being in tonights main event.Interviewer: Considering everything that has been going on with yourself an Jeff Jarett in recent weeks, do you feel your full focus will be on your match tonight with The Game, HHH?
Hassan: no matter what else is going on...It has to be. HHH is a real ring general, a man worthy of challenging for the BWA title this sunday and if im going to be heading into the PPV in any condition to shut Jarrett up then I will need to focus on nothing more than Hunter tonight.
Interviewer: Care to elaborate with regards Jarrett?
Hassan: Not really, he's a no good racist punk. You know it, I know it and these good people here in Mexico know it (cheap pop). We have heard a lot in the build up to this PPV about respect and he is a man that simply does not know the meaning of the word. He talks about knowing whats best for the BWA universe well why not listen to it you redneck bast*rd. (he trys to calm himself down as the crowd chant "redneck bast*rd" over and over) But as I said this night is not about him and i've got a match to prepare for...
As he walks out of shot we head back out to the announcers at rinsgside who are mulling over Hassan's words. They say that HHH will have to truely be The Game tonight as it looks like BWA's resident Middle Eastern American as had a fire lit under him. They are given something new to talk about though as John Lauriniatis makes his way out to the ringBig Johnny: As you all know I am Mr John Lauriniatis, vice president of talent relations and interm co GM here at BWA monday night Raw and in that role I last week booked a match for No Way Out this sunday where BWA legend Killer Kowalski would face off 1 on 1 with my personal friend and japanese wrestling icon Kenta Kobashi. In the interest of you fans (they boo him) I also added a stipulation to that match up should my co GM accept it. If you fans are wrong and Kowalski doesnt infact "still got it" then Gorilla Monsoon will step down as general manager leaving me, Big Johnny (accompanied by a big Smirk) in total control. So Monsoon what do you say, willing to put your job where your mouth is? I'm game.
Without hesitation Gorilla Monsoon comes outMonsoon: John (shakes his head at him) i've just got 3 words for you...(the crowd join him as he says this) Will You Stop! you know as well as I do that the chairman of the board Bounty Hunter (revealed last year to be Jay Leno) has stated that he will have an offical ruling tonight on the general managers position moving forward. I dont know what your trying to achieve by calling me out here but give over will you!
Johnny: okay okay you caught me out Gino. I dont expect an answer from you on that but I do want to remind you of something. As co GM of Monday night Raw I may need to okay with you any PPV match booked but I dont have to get your approval before making a match on Raw.
Monsoon: yeah so?
Johnny: well Monsoon I was looking over the active roster list when booking tonights matches and one thing struck me... Your name! you never took your name off the list Gino.
Monsoon: Dont you dare, Lauriniatis
Big Johnny: o but I already have... (another big smile)... and your match is next!
Johnny joins the announce team for this match as Monsoon makes his way down to the ring reluctantly to find out what match he has been booked in. The announcers point out how lucky it is that Monsoons normal clothes can essentially double as wrestling attire once he removes his top as Johnny explains that he has booked Monsoon with his friend (who now makes his enterance) Killer Kowalski versus the BWA tag team champions who he reminds us should be at 100% after he gave them both the night off last. The announcer wonder though if they still will be after we are done in this contest.
Opener: Gorilla Monsoon & Killer Kowalski vs Hayabusa & Masato Tanaka
Monsoon is obviously suffering some ring rust as the announcers put it as this one begins but is still obviously quite the handfull in the ring. However its the hig flying antics of the tag champs that catches the eye including when Hayabusa hits a successful 450 splash on Monsoon in the corner only for the co GM to get his foot on the bottom rope to stop the count. This leads the announcers to suggest that maybe this sundays tag title match stipulation (a Ladder match) will suit these two just as much as the WGTT. Similarily later when Tanaka performs a tornado DDT onto Kowalski they say "Imagine this was no way out, he could legallly do that move onto a ladder!" Considering the conversation it then seemed almost apt that Shelton Benjamin & Charlie Haas choose this moment to come down to ringside.
These two have gotten themselves involved in Tanaka & Hayabusa's matches almost every week recently and it seems there mear appearance here has been too much for "The Flying Assasin" Hayabusa who climbs the turnbuckle and goes for a shocking but o so impressive shooting star press to the outside landing on both Haas & Benjamin and taking them out. Unfortunatly for him though this also distracts his partner who only has to take his eye off Kowalski for one moment in the ring to leave him suceptable to his signature Kowalski Claw move which Tanaka taps out of. Shockingly thats our 3rd submission win of the night which the announcers point out while wondering if the main event will also finish in such a way.
Winners: Monsoon & Kowalski
Monsoon & Kowalski help their opponents back to their feet and despite them being opponents moments ago all four now stand united in the ring which causes Haas & Benjamin to back up the ramp towards the back. Just as they disapeer and the cameras returns to the ring our attension is once again brought to the entrance ramp when we get the unexpected arrival of "The Franchise" Shane Douglas. He makes his way straight to the ring and whispers something to Kowalski, Tanaka & Hayabusa which results in them leaving the ring and heading to the back. he then grabs a Mic and has the following to sayJohn L: What are you doing here?
Franchise: what you didnt expect to see your old tag team partner here Johnny? well I guess whenever you spotted that Monsoon here was still listed as an active wrestler wasnt today cos since 9am this morning my name has been there too.
Both co GMs look very confused by this statement and are asking each other if they signed him.
Franchise: NO neither of you two signed me, I was signed by the dude who signs your checks, the chairman himself Bounty Hunter and he asked me here tonight to send you both a very special message. (He opens a letter and continues) He says that he will decide how a full time general manager of BWA Raw will be chosen not you two, and that it wont be decided by Killer Kowalski nor Kenta Kobashi either.
Monsoon: Then what's going down?
Franchise: Well now im sure you didnt check the list of active wrestlers either Johnny cos it says here that as of this morning you have been added to it too
John L: What?
Franchise: yeah I mean otherwise the chairman couldn't have booked your PPV match , now could he?
again Johnny repeats his What while Monsoon starts laughing hysterically.
Franchise: This Sunday, 1 on 1 with the BWA general managers office on the line, it will be Gorilla Monsoon vs you Johnny in a winner takes all match. O yeah and 1 other thing i'm the guest referee!
he then drops the Mic and exits the ring while Johnny protests much to Monsoons amusement.
The two announcer suggest that Douglas will side with a different GM at the PPV one sighting his former yag partnership with the man who was then known as Johnny Ace while the other points to a serious of shoot interviews he did which didnt exactly make it look like he and Johny were on the best of terms. We are then brought backstage we are brought to an Interview with HHHInterviewer: I'm going to put to you the same question I asked your opponent tonight earlier tonight, With all that is going on between yourself and Bryan Danielson do you think you will be able to have your full focus on your opponent tonight Muhammad Hassan.
Triple H: focus on Hassan? No, I have one focus right now. becoming the next BWA world champion. Hassan despite his talent is destined to be meerly a bump on my road to the gold and unlike Mr Danielson earlier tonight I will not take an age to do it, cos simply put I really hope Bryan watches this match cos he still has time to back out and after he sees a taste of what im going to do to him maybe he will think better of facing me this sunday when he truely will have No Way Out.
*Commercial Break*
In ring as we return from the break we find Necro Butcher.
Butcher: I've come out here and talked countless times about how i've had my hands tied here in the BWA. I was signed to a long term contract despite my status as a hardcore nay deathmatch wrestler and yet this non PG promotion has thus far not used me as such. Even tonight they have made sure before I came out here tonight anything that could be used as a weapon has been removed from ringside as they are supposidly afraid of what I will do. The thing is what I will do is exactly what all you fans want me to do, it's what all you fans expect and it's what will get the job done. If anyone doesent believe me just wait till this sunday and the first ever BWA deathmatch. In one corner me, but who is crazy enough to take me on in such a match you ask well co GM John Lauriniatis assured me I would get that answer tonight. No more delays, no more stalling, i've been promised a huge name and I want to see it...
Just then only what can be described as Japanese Jungle music starts blaring and the arena lights start flashing all different colours and it seems Necro Butcher is going to get his answer in what looks like a monsterous form. As the lights ease up abit it can be made out that the man mountain that is making his way confidently towards the ring is none other than Akebono! and by his side is his manager and occasional tag partner Shinjiro Otani . Akebono gets straight into the ring and comes straight up to Necro Butcher. he is standing face to face with him now and yet the Butcher does not flinch. Instead he lifts the mic back up and goes to address him when Otani catches him with a kick to his leg. A two on one assault then insues which eventually leads to Necro Butcher being chased out of the arena through the crowd. The announcers note that it's not like Necro Butcher to run from a fight but say that with no equalisers (weapons) a 2 on 1 assault is not something they would blame him from backing out on. This sunday in the deathmatch however things should be very different they assume.
we head backstage where we see Rey Mysterio seemingly leaving one of the GM's offices. The BWA backstage man trys to get a word from him about his actions earlier tonight when he abondoned his teamates against the self proclaimed Worlds Greates Stable. Rey simply states that he had nothing to gain by being out there with those guys and that this Sunday he will prove himself their superior. In fact he says that he can now officially announce what has been rumoured here in Mexico for over a week. When he beats those guys he says he will not only take the title of best Mexican wrestler in the BWA but he will also take the mask of whoever he pins, cos it will be a mask vs mask match!
After that bombshell we head back to the ring for tonights main event and just in time too as Triple H makes his way out. Before the match begins though he has this short statement to make.Hunter: This is the last time I will step into a BWA ring without being announced as the BWA world heavyweight champion. This sunday I am going to punish Bryan Danielson for even thinking he is on my level but tonight... tonight Bryan I want you to get close to a TV screen and really watch this match cos tonight in my mind Muhammad Hassan is you and what I do to him you can expect at No Way Out, and thats a promise.
Main Event: Triple H vs Muhammad Hassan
Triple H is fairly dominant throughout this one but the finish does not come about until Hassan begins to build some momentum against the game. First he reverses a Pedigree attempt with a backdrop and then when Hunter is trying for DDT Hassan roles him up in an inside cradle for a 2 count. This really infuriates the game who then rakes the eyes of Hassan to regain control and throws Hassan to the outside. when out here HHH shows a real mean streak repeatidly sending Hassan crashing into both the rino steps and the spanish announce table. He keeps shouting for Hassan to get up but calls him bryan each time and then when he does respond sends him crashing back this tie into the ringpost. The referee has started a 10 count but with Hassan barely able to stand HHH tosses him back into the ring to break the count.
After doing so Hunter starts searching around under the ring before emerging with his Sledgehammer. One announcer wonders if that was there earlier tonight when Necro Butcher was out here while the other one is more focussed on HHH's words from earlier about how tonight in his mind Hassan was Danielson and wonders how far he's willing to go to send that message. Him pullling out his trusted weapon got a big reaction from the crowd but an even bigger one comes moments later when Bryan Danielson comes charging down the ramp. He trys to stop Hunter from bringing the sledgehammer into the ring but is kept at arms lenght by the swing of it until HHH gets back in the ring. Inside the ropes the ref then trys to get the object off him but HHH pushes him out of the way. This leaves HHH eady to strike whilst standing above Hassan who is slowly getting to his feet infront of him and the ref ready to end the match by DQ. Hunter pulls back the hammer to swing it at him but Danielson now on the ring apron grabs it and stops him. This allows Hassan get to his feet and he goes for a big clothesline on his opponent. HHH ducks this though and instead Hassan knocks Danielson off the ring apron before himself bouncing back of the ropes and directly into Triple H's path. Hunter hits him with a kick to his mid section which he immediatly follows up with a Pedigree for the 3 count.
Winner: HHH
Hunter with his Sledghammer now firmly back in his grasp trys to get Danielson into the ring to face him but Bryan is smart enough to wait till No Way Out and the final scene of the night is these two staring holes into each other as we go off air.

No. 1 Contenders Tournament - First Round
Micahel Elgin vs. Naruki Doi
Elgin dominates the opening stages of the match with his power offense, with Doi trying to rely on his speed knowing he's outmatched power wise. Elgin takes over and locks in a big bearhug as Doi is in trouble. Doi works his way out and makes a comeback finally getting Elgin off his feet. Elgin sits in the corner to recover but Doi hits him with his rolling cannonball, pulls him into the middle of the ring and hits the Bakatare Sliding Kick but only gets two, much to his dismay. Doi goes up top and looks for a Crossbody but Elgin catches him and moves him into the powerbomb position before hitting his Spinning Sitout Powerbomb for three.
Winner (10:03): Michael Elgin
Still to come: more first round matches, Dean Malenko and Davey Richards plsu we hear from John Cena.
No. 1 Contenders Tournament - First Round
Roderick Strong vs. Masato Yoshino
A fast paced, hard hitting match with both men leaving everything in the ring. Tons of counters and chain wrestling as neither man really gets a distinct advantage. Just as Yoshino is getting going, Strong pushed aside the ref and hits Yoshino with a low blow and follows it up with the Gibson Driver for the three count.
Winner (12:32): Roderick Strong
The American Wolves music hits and out comes Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards. Richards calls out Malenko wanting him to explain why he layed them out at The Clash. Malenko comes out,
Malenko: "I attacked you because you claimed to be the best wrestler in the world and that quite simply isn't true. If it were you'd be champion and I wouldn't."
Richards: "How about you put your belt where your mouth is, you and me at WrestleGlory for the Cruiserweight title!"
Malenko: "It wouldn't be fair me to just give you a title shot, I've already arranged a No. 1 Contenders match for you, win that and you'll get The Man of 1000 Holds at WrestleGlory. It'll be next week and your opponent will be...Eddie Edwards."
The American Wolves look at each other nervously as Malenko leaves with a smug look on his face.
No. 1 Contenders Tournament - First Round
Vader vs. TV Champ DDP
DDP tries to slug it out with Vader but Vader just decks him. DDP constantly tries to make a comeback but is emphatically cut off by Vader every time. DDP finally gains a head of steam but as he hits the ropes he's tripped by Monty Brown and Vader follows up with a Powerbomb for the win.
Winner (9:14): Vader
DDP slowly makes his way to his feet as Brown stalks him and nails him with The Pounce. Monty grabs a microphone, "Welcome to the Serengeti" and poses with the TV title for a second time.
No. 1 Contenders Tournament - First Round
Yokozuna vs. Billy Kidman
Yoko dominates Kidman and takes him up for a Samoan Drop. Kidman slips off, pushes Yoko in to the corner and takes him off his feet with a Leg Lariat. Kidman goes up top and hits the Shooting Star but Yoko shoves Kidman off at one. Kidman waits until Yoko gets up but gets nailed with a side kick and Yoko hits the Banzai drop for the victory.
Winner (7:43): Yokozuna
Next week, the semi final matches of the No. 1 Contenders tournament as Yokozuna faces Michael Elgin and Roderick Strong faces Vader, plus to determine who will face Dean Malenko at WrestleGlory, Eddie Edwards will face his American Wolves tag partner Davey Richards. Also the debut of world renowned high flyer Pac (and we hear Jack Evans isn't happy about his arrival in MFW) and we hear from DDP regarding Monty Brown costing him his tournament match. But up next, John Cena.
John Cena's music hits and he comes out to a cacophony of boos. The crowd are furious over what he did to Jeff Hardy and they're letting him know about it. Cena grabs a mic and stands in the ring with his stupid grin, much to the annoyance of the crowd. He soaks in every second of the crowd response before finally talking.
Cena: "Everybody wants to know why I did what I did to Jeff Hardy. First of all, I didn't do anything. Vader and Yokozuna did it all for me, I didn't even have to raise a finger to have him destroyed."
"You see every week for the last year, I came out here as your World Champion and gave you everything I had. I overcame behemoths like Vader and Yokozuna, I fought in grueling stipulation matches and just when it seemed like I wouldn't prevail, I did. And you know why I did? For you people. I came out here and with every fiber of my being I gave you the very best performance I had in me. And what did you do? You booed me night after night."
"I could save women from burning buildings, jump off scaffolds and put twenty guys through a table and you'd still boo me. Yet that screw up, that mess - Jeff Hardy, you cheer him. He's your hero. That's pathetic. You people are pathetic. You're not worthy of seeing me wrestle."
The crowd chant Hardy's name over and over again and Cena just shakes his head. Suddenly,
The crowd goes nuts and Cena looks panicked. But he turns back towards the crowd and grins his goofy grin. The crowd realise they've been had and are enraged.
Cena: "I thought I'd give you idiots this one last reminder of him, because after what happened at The Clash he's not going to make it to WrestleGlory. For the last year I have been the undefeated, undisputed Heavyweight Champion of the World and at WrestleGlory that's not going to change."
Cena turns towards the camera gives his best stupid, cheesy grin before leaving to close the show.

Show 4/5:
Overview of three previous shows is shown:
The New Age Outlaws reformed after turning on their tag team partners R-Truth and Bart Gunn.
Crash Holly defeated Greg "The Hammer" Valentine to become the Hardcore Champion, which he will defend 24/7, 365 days a year.
Sheamus and Rikishi formed the all-Irish alliance and immediately targeted PWF Champion Hulk Hogan, who was saved by his old friend Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake.
Greg Valentine pinned Crash Holly to win the 24/7 Championship
The New Age Outlaws defeated Rhythm & Blues to become the new Tag-Team Champions.
Brutus Beefcake was attacked by a mystery assailant. As a result he couldn't compete in the main event and was replaced by R-Truth who teamed with Hulk Hogan against Rikishi and Sheamus who picked up the victory.
While the PWF CEO Shane McMahon was announcing his non-PG plans for the company, he was interrupted by Bruno Sammartino who criticised the Sports Entertainment idea of Pro Wrestling.
The Mean Street Posse invaded the PWF as the Mean Street Smarks!
Brutus Beefcake got attacked for the second week in a row by a mystery assailant, this time being dragged out of the ring during a match against Rikishi.
Sheamus won a no.1 contendership match for the PWF Heavyweight title against the Road Dogg, while Hulk Hogan successfully defended the championship against Sammartino, setting up a Hogan-Sheamus main event at the first PWF PPV, Battle-Mania.
.....................................................................................
J.R.: Hello and welcome to PWF Intensity!!!!!!!!!!
Voodoo Chile (Slight Return) plays and Hogan and Beefcake storm to ringside. (cheers)
J.R.: Here comes Hogan and Beefcake and I guess they will have a lot to say, but do they have the answer to the burning question; who the hell was Brutus' mystery assailant the last two weeks?
Hogan: For the last two weeks, my best friend, the guy who has been at my side from the very beginning of my pro wrestling career, Brutus Beefcake; has been brutally assaulted by ruthless thugs. Sheamus and Rikishi, why don't you just show your big ugly faces and admit what you done, and then last week, ordered to be done!!
Beefcake: Ruthless cowards, that's exactly what these guys are. They can't accept that Hulk is PWF Heavyweight champion instead of them, and that I would beat Rikishi in any fair match.
Sheamus's music hits and out comes the Irish-Samoan Alliance, Sheamus and Rikishi. (boos)
Sheamus: Cowards? We don't need to hide if we want to kick you up the arse. In fact, I'll do it right now.
The four men start fighting. Sheamus and Rikishi have the upper hand. Shane McMahon walks out.
Shane: Guys, remember the rule, no fighting outside of a fair match. Stop it now or you will be suspended.
The guys stop fighting.
Shane: I am not happy about....
Hogan: Nobody gives a damn what makes you happy, brother. Are you going to suspend these guys or what?
Shane: Not in this case, because they were provoked.
Beefcake: What?
Shane: You called them cowards. However, Sheamus was at ringside and Rikishi was in the match. If you can find evidence that Sheamus or Rikishi ordered the interference in your match last week then I will suspend them immediatey.
Hogan: Evidence? Of course they did it? These guys have been conspiring against us for weeks.
Shane: Then figure out which one, and bring evidence to my desk.
Hogan: I'll bring an ass-kicking to your desk, brother.
J.R: Oh, wait a minute, a Rikishi Kick to Hogan. And Sheamus hits the Brogue Kick on Beefcake. The element of surprise comes into play!! Bah God! Hogan and Beefcake are out cold.
Both men celebrate to a mixture of boos and cheers.
J.R.: Damned if I understand it but some fans are warming to Sheamus and Rikishi. I even see some posters saying SheamusMania. Why would anyone cheer for these inhuman, sick, twisted individuals!?
In a brother vs brother match, Billy Gunn defeated Bart Gunn! Bart failed to get revenge for Billy leaving him to go back teaming with the Road Dogg three shows back.
Announcer: The following match is a number one contendership match the tag-team Championship!!
Rhythm & Blues, Greg "The Hammer" Valentine and The Honky Tonk Man, come to the ring with a guitar and start singing and playing some old-school rock & roll. Suddenly they are interrupted by their opponent 2 Cool's music and Grandmaster Sexay and Scotty 2 Hotty come out dancing.
J.R.: Valentine and The Honky Tonk Man don't like the fact they were interrupted!!! It looks like they are going after 2 Cool.
"Oh you didn't know.............."
J.R.: What the........it's the Tag-Team Champions, the New Age Outlaws, what are they doing out here? It's like a musical battle, not a wrestling match. And Rhythm & Blues are going after the Outlaws, and 2 Cool getting involved!! Oh, and Bah God!! a guitar just went straight over the head of Grandmaster Sexay!!! All six men are brawling here!!!! Oh and thank God, it's Shane again!!
Shane: Sigh, I feel like I'm getting busier and busier here controlling you crazy people. Ok, seen as you all like music so much, how about this. A triple-threat tag-team match at PWF Battle-Mania, with a music contest just before the match. Whoever wins, decides the stipulation!!! Rap vs Rock vs Dance!!
The crowd cheers!!
J.R.: What? I don't know what it has to do with wrestling but the crowd sure seem to like it!! And...oh wait a minute, Shane just attacked from behind by...what the? Bruno Sammartino. Sammartino just attacked Shane-O-Mac. Good God Almighty why Bruno, why?? Shane gave you a title match against Hogan last week and you blew it!!
Bruno is given a mic: This rediculous music battle...what has this got to do with wrestling, huh? Nothing! I come from a real generation of professional wrestlers. We were true tough men, not like these....sports entertainers. How about you put at least one proper old-school pro wrestler in a match at the PPV. I want you Shane McMahon, and I want you in a match that I only lost once and I never will lose in again...........inside of a steel cage!!
J.R.: OMG!!!
Bruno: And if I win, I'll take control of PWF Intensity and I will choose the matches every week!! If I lose, I will endorse your show.
J.R.: Why the hell would Shane agree to that? I hope we'll find out soon!! Looks like we might have just added two matches to the PPV!!
.............................................................................................................................
The Mean Street Smarks music hits. boooo
J.R.: Great, these idiots.
In the ring:
Pete Gas: Hello Marks. (smirks) (boooo). Hope you're NOT enjoying tonight's show, because it's been terrible. 2 Cool's moronic push continues. And what was the point of Bart Gunn losing. PWF should make up their mind if they are pushing or punishing him.
Rodney: Bad Booking IMO.
Joey Abs: Yeah, Bad Booking. And don't you just hate the fact that Hulk Hogan refuses to get anyone over.
(booos)
Pete Gas: Hehe, stupid dumb mark idiots. Marking out like morons. The worst thing about this stupid show is the idiotic kayfabe commentary delivered by J.R. acting like everything is real and so dramatic. Marking out like idiots every night for you moronic marks.
(boos)
Pete Gas: Thankfully, we are here to save the day, as in the next match, we will provide guest commentary.
J.R. Oh god, no. I can't sand these idiots any longer.
The Mean Street Smarks walk over to the announce table and put on their headests.
J.R.: Who left those spare headsets there for these idiots.
Rodney: I guess we aren't the only ones sick of these stupid shows.
Lance Cade's music hits and he enters to a mixed reaction.
Rodney: Lance Cade should be more over than he is.
Rodney: Bad Booking IMO.
Smarks67: Yeah, idiot bookers.
The Great Khali's music hits and he enters to boos.
Rodney: This guy is terrible.
Ross: What was the point of attacking this guy last week on that house show?
Smarks67: He's being on a stupid push lately, and we are sick of it. He's everything the IWC hates and that the McMahon family loves.
J.R.: So why do you watch PWF Intensity then if you hate it so much.
Pete Gas: Free world, you know. It's fun to analyse and nitpick and look for things to hate on every week.
J.R.: This match has started, nice anklelock takedown there by Cade.
Rodney: Looks like Cade getting a push.
J.R: Great Khali fighting back with those big chops.
Joey Abs: Khali getting a push now. Rediculous, he can't wrestle and he's rubbish on the mic.
Rodney: Bad booking IMO.
Joey Abs: Yeah, bad booking
J.R.: Is that all you say, Bad Booking IMO. You're pathetic.
Joey Abs: An angrier version of J.R. appearing, maybe a sign of a possible heel turn.
J.R.: There's no heel turn, I'm just pissed off at you idiots.
Joey Abs: Ooh, breaking the PG ERA rules, risky business.
J.R.: For God's sake. Cade fighting back now.
Pete Gas: Lance Cade getting pushed again. He must be licking Shane's ass or maybe they are building him up to win the Money In the Bank in a couple of months.
J.R. Oh but Khali countered with the big chop.
Pete Gas: Lance Cade getting punished again. Maybe he had the balls to speak out against McMahon.
Joey Abs: Or maybe he's bad for ratings. And by the way It's about time the Great Khali learnt more than two moves!
J.R. Khali going for the pin but Lance Cade kicks out after 1.
Pete Gas: Wow quick kickout, Cade getting a big push here. I wish the PWF would make up their mind whether they are pushing him or not.
J.R.: Not everything on PWF is related to whether or not somebody is getting pushed you idiots, the guys are just putting on a good match, and that means both guys get an opportunity to hit moves.
Joey Abs: Hehe, stupid dumb mark, probably thinks wrestling is real or something.
Pete Gas: Everything that happens on Intensity is based on the McMahon family's whim to push or punish wrestlers.
J.R.: No it's not you idiot, the wrestlers decide what happens in the ring up until the ending.
Pete Gas: Haha, yeah right.
Joey Abs: And now the Great Khali punching Lance Cade on the head.
Pete Gas: Kayfabe punching.
Joey Abs: Yes, kayfabe punching of course, he's not really hitting Lance Cade, it's just kayfabe.
Joey Abs: SPOILER ALERT! SPOILER ALERT! Cover your ears if you don't want to know...Lance Cade will win this one.
J.R.: You just gave away the damn ending you idiot.
Joey Abs: Don't be jealous coz we know more than you. It's important the viewers realise that we are the real experts in the PWF and we know that we are talking about. The wrestlers real names, what's going to happen, who's getting pushed, who's getting punished. We're geniuses.
Pete Gas: Yeah.
J.R. Your parents must be real proud.
Pete Gas: I'd like to take a moment to praise the great God of the IWC.
Joey Abs: Mr Dave Meltzer, God of the Smarks, The Real Great One, the man who ruined our enjoyment of professional wrestling forever, WE LOVE YOU.
Pete Gas: Not in a gay way, but yes, we think of you always.
J.R: What? I can't bel...........
Pete Gas: Eh, don't interrupt our moment.
(pause)
J.R.: Diving Elbow Drop, this is over!! 1...2...3 Lance Cade has the victory over the Great Khali after hitting a diving elbow drop..
Rodney: Bad Booking IMO.
Pete Gas: Yeah bad booking, they should have had him squash The Great Khali, that would really have gotten him over.
Joey Abs: Yeah, listen to this crowd, he's not over at all. Stupid idiot writers.
J.R.: Why don't you just leave, nobody wants you here.
Pete Gas: I don't agree, I think we might just stay to the end of the show.
J.R.: Please, no.
Lance Cade leaves. After the match The Great Khali gets up and walks towards the announce table and attacks the smarks, hitting the same stupid chop move over and over again.
J.R. Thank God.
J.R.: Do you still think he can't fight, guys, huh?
Pete Gas and Rodney help Joey Abs to his feet and all three run to the back.
The Great Khali's music hits and the crowd celebrates.
..............................................................................................
Hogan and Beefcake are backstage:
Beefcake: You know I'm not sure what it was Sheamus who attacked me the first time either. His body just seemed different. And definitely wasn't Rikishi.
Hogan: Yeah, ya'd recognise him. Hmm, maybe your memory is bad from the hit you took.
Beefcake: Hazy but I remember that. I paid particular attention the last time. Maybe they are getting someone to do their dirty work or something.
Hogan: It's possible. I'll launch an investigation and I promise to found out who did this.
Beefcake: Thanks, Terry, thanks for always being there for me.
Beefcake walks away. Off-camera Hogan is attacked from behind and knocked to the ground.
J.R.: Oh my God!
Beefcake comes back but the assailant has already run away. Beefcake helps Hogan to his feet.
J.R: Well they've already attacked Brutus Beefcake a couple of times, and now they've attacked Hogan. Who is doing this, any why? Up next, Brutus Beefcake has got a no.1 contendership match for the Intercontinental title against Rikishi, in a rematch from last week. The winner will face R-Truth for the title at the Battle-Mania Pay-per-view.
......................................
Beefcake and Hogan backstage again
Beefcake: I'm going to kill those guys. I swear. That guy who attacked you earlier; even though he was wearing a mask and his skin was covered, he didn't look like Sheamus, right?
Hogan (holding his back): Right. So its confirmed. Sheamus and Rikishi are getting someone to their dirty work for them. Don't you remember anything from that first attack. When they threw you into a wall.
Beefcake: No, the concussion knocked me out.
Hogan: And when they dragged you under the ring?
Beefcake: It was too dark. And he was wearing a mask.
Hogan shakes his head: Anyway, good luck in your match. Kick his ass.
Hogan walks towards the entrance to the arena.
Rikishi's music plays and he makes his entrance.
The camera moves backstage to again follow Beefcake towards the Arena. Just as he gets close to the entrance he is attacked! Speared and then kicked multiple times while on the ground by a tall, masked assailant. Beefcake manages to recover and fights back, but the assailant runs off. Beefcake limps towards the entrance way.
J.R.: GOOD GOD!! Beefcake attacked yet again!! What the hell is going on here??
"ARE YOU READY FOR SOME BEEFCAKE"
Brutus Beefcake's music plays and he makes his entrance but he's visibly in pain.
J.R: I can't believe what just happened. Beefcake got attacked again. That's the third time in three weeks. And Hogan too. Who is doing this and WHY?
2nd commentator: At least it looks like he will be participate in this match.
J.R.: Yes but visibly weakened. Those cowards don't want to fight Beefcake fully fit. They want to cheat their way towards the PPV.
2nd Commentator: Well, you can't just keep throwing around accusations like that.
J.R.: I'll do whatever the hell I like. I'm calling it as I see it.
Announcer: And his opponent, weighing in at 425lbs, RIKISHI!
booo
Despite being under pressure for the whole match, Beefcake somehow manages to look on a sleeper hold and force Rikishi to tap out.
J.R.: Wow, I can't believe it, Beefcake has won it. The crowd is celebrating. I don't think they can believe it either. Beefcake, despite being assaulted before entering the arena, somehow found a way to win this one. And he will fight R-Truth for the Intercontinental title at the Pay-per-view.
That's three more matches added tonight for Battle-Mania!

Previously on Monday Night Grappling...- HBK revealed his contract expires at Grapplemania and he planned on leaving the company with the World Title
- Ray Stevens took out Eugene as he was drafted as the #15 draft pick
- It was revealed Warrior would face Batista in a No DQ match at the PPV
- Marty Jannetty attacked his tag partner Al Snow
Fireworks go off from Montreal, Canada for the final TV show before the PPV.Commentary: It's the final TV show folks before the PPV. We're told Misawa's whereabouts can't be found but HBK is expected to be here. Batista and The Ultimate Warrior will have a verbal debate, and Ray Stevens will explain his recent actions. Stay tuned.
As the show opens we see Cornette backstage looking battered and bruised with the Midnight Express. He's on the phone to the MNG owner and getting a right bollocking.Cornette: Yes sir. I'm sorry I didn't answer your phone calls. Yes sir if I had I would have known Michaels's contract expired at Grapplemania. No sir I'm afraid I don't know who Villas-Boas is or what happened to him. I see. I understand now, sir. Yes sir, I appreciate that.
Cornette tells the Midnight Express the owner told him his job is hanging by a thread and if Michaels leaves with the title at Grapplemania, Cornette will be out of a job. Cornette tells the Express this is all that punk Ricky Morton's fault for bringing back the old HBK and he says tonight we will have a HUGE main event - his two problems will face off because it will be Michaels and Jannetty going one on one with the Rock and Roll Express in a major tag match.
Match: Trish Stratus vs Mickie James
Trish comes out to a huge reception from the Canadian fans. She tells the crowd the title will stay with her at Grapplemania and while she respects Manami Toyota as a performer, she is certain she is the best women's wrestler of all time (fans cheer).
Mickie came out and said she was challenged to a match by Aja Kong at Grapplemania and she had accepted. She said she was unafraid of Aja's crazy crush and that she hoped a win tonight against Trish would make her the number one contender after Grapplemania.
The match was a great contest which was even up until the final moments. Just as it looked like Trish was going to pin Mickie after a Trish Kick, suddenly Aja Kong's music hit. Kong was wearing a Mickie T-Shirt and ran in to make the save for Mickie and attacked Trish.
Winner by D.Q.: Trish Stratus
Kong began beating on Trish and then turned towards Mickie with a sick grin on her face. Manami Toyota then ran down and began beating on Aja Kong.
Trish recovered and grabbed a chair and went to hit Kong but she ducked and so nailed Toyota! Kong then left the ring and screamed she would 'get' Mickie at Grapplemania.
Toyota got up from the chair shot and looked like she was going to go for Trish but Mickie explained what happened. Trish and Toyota had a staredown. Aja blew a kiss to Mickie and pointed to the Grapplemania sign.
We now have our two women's matches - Trish vs Toyota and Mickie vs Aja Kong.
*backstage segment* - Commissioner Cornette's office
As Cornette is with the Express, Al Snow bursts in and says cancel the Rockers vs the RNR tonight because he is going to take Jannetty's head off when he turns up for the cheap shot attack last week. Cornette said he makes the matches.
He noted that the issues with Snow and Jannetty go back over 15 years and said they can settle it at Grapplemania. Snow said since they're both former ECW guys he wants an Extreme Rules match. Cornette agreed but only if Snow takes the night off.
Match: Ray Stevens vs Chuck Palumbo
Stevens got a mic and noted that he took out Eugene with a piledriver right after Eugene was drafted. He said he has been told Eugene is gone and won't be facing him at Grapplemania. He said with his I.Q. level he'd fit right in at BWA or WECWF when he recovers. Stevens repeated he's the crippler and he'll cripple anyone who gets in his way.
He claimed people in the company are too scared to face him. He said the reason he wasn't on the triple supershow was because WECWF and BWA guys were also scared of him. He added Cornette had to bring in an outsider for tonight to face him. He revealed it was...Chuck Palumbo.
Palumbo appeared on his motorbike and said it was true he had taken on the challenge to face Stevens and he'd ride out tonight with his head held high. Stevens said his head would be held by EMTs because he was going to ensure he rode out of here in an ambulance. What a crazy, fabulous man.
The match itself was quite short with Stevens outwrestling Palumbo for the most part. He hit the piledriver and covered for the 1-2-3 victory. Stevens wasn't finished however. He went and grabbed a chair and set Palumbo up for a piledriver on it when the music of Eugene hit! However then the music stopped and a new, edgier theme hit...
It was Eugene...or was it? He had a mic and introduced himself as Nick Dinsmore.Dinsmore: Surprised, Ray? I guess a lot of people are. Well let me explain. You see when I was a young man I had everything going for me. I was a grade A student, had a hot girlfriend, you name it - then it was all taken from me when I got in a bike accident. I hit my head so hard that I forgot who I was. I took on the persona of this guy called 'Eugene'. For years I was imprisoned in this persona - that is, until you came along. Ironic isn't it? You tried to destroy me....but instead you've freed me. I guess in a way I should thank you Ray...and I promise I will. By kicking your ass at Grapplemania.
Stevens looked on in shock as Dinsmore hit the ring and began nailing Stevens with shots. Stevens got out of there and ran up the ramp as Dinsmore checked on Palumbo.Commentary: My goodness Eugene is indeed gone - but Nick Dinsmore is reborn - and he's coming for Stevens at Grapplemania!
*backstage...a limo arrives*
As we wait to see who it is...out steps Shawn Michaels (greeted with big boos from the Montreal fans) and with him is Marty Jannetty.
Michaels is on the phone to his agent - 'Tell all of 'em I need a minimum of 10 million. If I'm bringing the MNG World Title with me that's the least I'm worth.' Michaels tells Marty to get used to this lifestyle because the Rockers will be rocking with millionaires after he takes Misawa's title and leaves the company.
An interviewer runs up and tells the two of them they will face the RNR Express tonight.HBK: Is that supposed to scare me? I welcome it. Myself and Marty looked up to the RNR when we started out. Hell we pretty much ripped 'em off. And I guess I owe Ricky Morton for his pep talk a few weeks back, right? What better way to repay Ricky and Robert than to allow them the honour of being beaten by the greatest ever.
The interviewer then told Jannetty he would face Al Snow at Grapplemania in an Extreme Rules match. Jannetty said he never needed Snow and it didn't matter what match he was put in, he will always be a better man than Al Snow. The Rockers walked off laughing.
Match: Nick Bockwinkel vs local talent
Bockwinkel destroys the Canadian youngster in less than a minute. He's not playing around tonight.
Winner: Nick Bockwinkel
Afterwards he grabs a mic and says (spoiler alert) he lost the WECWF Legends Title but it was a fluke. He says mind games by Konnan threw him off his game but he would rectify that. He challenged Konnan to a match at Grapplemania for the MNG Legends Title. He said there had been issues between the two since day one but he would show Konnan that an American has more class than a Mexican bum, who's no better than all the Canadian bums in the arena. (cheap heat)
Konnan appeared and said Bockwinkel let the company down. Konnan said Bockwinkel talks about class but talk is cheap. Konnan said he worked hard just like all his familia and just like all these fans here (cheap pop).
Konnan said he accepted the challenge on one condition - since Konnan is putting up his title he wants Bockwinkel to put up something too - his freedom. If Bockwinkel wins he's champ but if Konnan wins - Bockwinkel must become Konnan's slave!
Bockwinkel thought long and hard as the fans chanted 'do it' and he eventually agreed to the stip - because he said Konnan has no chance of victory.Commentary: So it's title vs pride. Bockwinkel will either become the MNG Legends Champ - or become an employee for Konnan!
Public Debate: Batista vs Ultimate Warrior
Before the match we got introduced to the surprise host - Shawn Stasiak.
He said he had been given a one-night deal to host this debate because he was considered as crazy as Batista and Warrior since he was from Planet Stasiak. (The fans booed him)
Batista appeared and told Stasiak to shut up as everyone knew he was getting his ass kicked at the end of the segment. Dave told him to make sure it doesn't happen before then.
Warrior then appeared and had to struggle to contain his emotions. Batista appeared to back off somewhat. They went to their respective podiums and Stasiak got the debate under way.
Stasiak: Question 1 - Why do you want this match? Warrior can answer fir-Batista: I will answer first. I never wanted this match. I wanted to be in the main event. Why? Because I AM the main event. I was the first draft pick and should be facing Misawa for the World Title. If I was, then the World Title wouldn't be in jeopardy.
Now - I hope Michaels leaves and screws the company. Serves him and all these dumbass fans right. I am the biggest star, past, present, future and if I have to take out this nutjob Warrior then I'll gladly-
Warrior: SILENCE MORTAL! THIS...THIS IS WHY DAVE BOW-TEESTA YOU MUST BE STOPPED. JUST LIKE THE EGO OF HOKE KOGAN HAD TO BE STOPPED IN CANADA AT WRESTLEMANIA 6 (big cheer - cheap pop), YOU TOO MUST BE DESTROYED. WHEN AN ANIMAL RUNS AMOK IT MUST BE PUT DOWN BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY AND AT GRAPPLEMANIA I WILL PUT DOWN THE ANIMAL FOR GOOD. YAAAAAARRRGHHHHH!
Batista: Wow seriously? Are you kidding me with this stuff? Man...
Stasiak: Question 2 - why do you each think you will win?WARRIOR: I WILL WIN BECAU-
Batista: Shut your damn mouth. And stop shouting. (fans cheer. Warrior begins to pace) The Animal will win this match because the list is endless of stars I've taken out. Let me ask you something nutjob - how are you gonna hit your finisher on me? You think you have any chance of doing a military press on a guy my size?
(Warrior looks apprehensive)
Batista: Face it, legend! You are in over your head. You can't do to me what you did to Hogan and what happens at Grapplemania is simple - Batista Bomb followed by a 1-2-3 and your ass is defeated.
Warrior: (Says nothing and begins muttering to himself)
Stasiak: Um OK gentlemen my last question - give me your full and frank thoughts on your opponent. Dave if I may, I'll go to Warrior...Warrior: Dave Bow-teesta is a good man that has lost his way on the path to immortaility. And AT GRAPPLEMANIAAAAA...THE WARRYARRGHH WILL SHOW HIM HIS TRUE PATH.
Batista: OK my frank thoughts: Warrior's a selfish, deluded, crazy son of a b*tch. I don't respect him. I don't like him. Yeah you shook the ropes well. That was about it. At Grapplemania - you'll be holding on to those ropes while I beat your sorry ass. Like I said before - you can't hit your finisher on me and at Grapplemania - the Animal devours the Warrior.
As he finishes Batista strikes Stasiak. Warrior remains motionless staring at Batista who hoists Stasiak up and down for a Batista Bomb. Warrior then picks up Stasiak for the military press as Batista watches on. Warrior slams Stasiak down. He hits the rope for the big splash but gets a spear by Batista!
The Animal then beats on Warrior but Warrior is going into another zone - Warrior then fights back. He goes to hit the military press on Batista - but he can't do it. His back can't hold him up. Batista escapes and hops out of the ring and laughs as Warrior sinks to his knees in despair, muttering to the heavens.
Commentators: My goodness was Batista right? Can Warrior not hit his finishing move? Warrior is asking his gods for help. He's doubting himself. Batista has done the impossible - he's got inside Warrior's head.
Main Event: The Rockers (Shawn Michaels & Marty Jannetty) vs The Rock 'n' Roll Express (Robert Gibson and Ricky Morton)
The music of the Midnight Express hit, RNR's opponents at Grapplemania, and they sat at ringside for commentary. The music of Shawn Michaels then hit to huge boos from the Montreal crowd..
Michaels: How fitting it is that I'm here in Montreal, home of the original screwjob, Survivor Series, 1997. (Fans chant 'You Screwed Bret') That's right I did and at Grapplemania I'm going to screw this company and each and every one of you too! At Grapplemania I will defeat Misawa for the World Championship and when the clock strikes midnight, the nightmare becomes reality. I will leave each and every one of you high and dry and I'll do it with a big smile on my face. Get ready Montreal. Get ready world. For the Ultimate Screwjob...
(Cornette's music then hit)
Cornette: Things didn't have to be this way, Shawn. All I've ever wanted was to showcase what you can do. To help you. Instead you threw it back in my face. That's fine, boy toy. You lost your faith a few weeks back. Now you've got it back. Congratulations. But there's one thing I always had faith in - Misawa. At Grapplemania I believe he will shut you up once and for all you son of a bitch. And when the clock strikes midnight and your contract expires, you'll be a free man - but you'll be leaving as a LOSER.
Michaels: Are ya kiddin me, Jimbo? Misawa hasn't even had the guts to show his face tonight. He's scared. In our match at Grapplemania there will be no stips, no interference so there will be nothing you, or anybody can do to stop me. You wanted to control me. But everyone knows there's only one J.C. I bow down to and it ain't you bub.
Cornette: Well I can't change the rules for Grapplemania Michaels but I can change the rules tonight and I've decided it's going to be no DQ. Get those RNR guys out here so I can enjoy first hand you guys beating the hell out of each other!
Cornette then stood with the Midnight Express at ringside to observe.
The match itself was a tag team classic. Michaels and Jannetty worked some quick tags early on. Whenever Ricky Morton got in the ring, Michaels tagged out and laughed as the fans got pissed off. Eventually however the RNR turned the tide and Jannetty took so much punishment he had to tag out thus forcing Michaels to take on Morton. Both Michaels and Morton hit each other with vicious chops as Cornette and the Midnight Express looked on delighted at their enemies destroying one another.
The finish of the match saw Gibson and Jannetty brawling on the outside. Jannetty threw Gibson into the Midnight Express who began to assault Gibson. As the match was now no D.Q. the ref could do nothing. Morton looked on concerned as Jannetty jumped on the apron. Morton knocked him off but turned straight into some Sweet Chin Music. Michaels pinned Morton much to the fan's annoyance for the 1-2-3 pin.
Winners: The Rockers
Normally Cornette would enjoy seeing the RNR lose but seeing Michaels celebrate in the ring was perhaps even worse. Meanwhile the RNR and the Midnight Express were having an all-out brawl and fought into the crowd as the fans went nuts.
Suddenly Cornette realised he was alone. Michaels told Jannetty to grab him and bring him in the ring. Michaels began to stomp his feet as a grin appeared on his face. At that point...
Misawa's music hit as the fans went wild. He walked to the ring with a purpose as Michaels beckoned him to come in the ring. As soon as he did so however, Michaels hopped outside as the fans booed. Michaels smiled as he told Misawa 'I'll see you Sunday'.
At that moment Cornette broke free and shoved Jannetty towards Misawa who grabbed him. Michaels said 'don't you dare' as Misawa now smiled. He hit poor Marty with an Emerald Flowsion as Michaels looked pissed. 'That's not me' said Michaels.
The show closed with Misawa holding aloft the World Title as Cornette pointed at him and said 'this is the man, Michaels!' Michaels smiled and shook his head calmly and said 'It's mine at Grapplemania.'Commentary: Ladies and gentlemen, what an event Grapplemania promises to be. Call your local operators as this event is not to be missed. Will Misawa be able to keep the title in the company? Will Michaels pull off his ultimate screwjob? All this and so much more to be answered at GRAPPLE...MANNNNIIIIIIIAAAAAAA!

Welcome ladies and gentlemen to this special Grapplemania Preview Show. We will give you a rundown of the 8 emotionally charged matches on offer for the Grapplemania wrestling extravaganza which will come to you live from a sell-out crowd at Madison Square Garden, New York city.
Main Event
World Heavyweight Championship
Shawn Michaels vs Mitsuharu Misawa (c)Shawn Michaels entered the company a broken man. He had lost his faith following his Wrestlemania losses to Undertaker. He wanted to retire. However following a pep talk from old friend Ricky Morton of the Rock 'n' Roll Express, Michaels was urged to bring out the old HBK. Who knew the dire consequences this would have. Michaels returned to his Attitude Era ways and after signing a contract for the World Title match, he vowed to leave with the title in what he called 'the Ultimate Screwjob'. There can be no outside interference. There are no stipulations. Only one man stands in his way...
Misawa has been the company's champion for many months. He has represented the fans with honour and respect. Having wanted to test himself against Michaels since the beginning, Misawa has become appalled by Michaels's antics which included humping the Japanese flag and insulting the Japansese people. Misawa knows only he stands in the way of Michaels completing his grand scheme.
It is honour vs dishonour. Respect vs Disrespect. Morality vs degeneracy. Can Misawa save the company in its darkest hour?
World Tag Team Titles
The Midnight Express (c) w/Jim Cornette vs The Rock 'n' Roll ExpressThe Midnight Express have had a long reign as tag team champions. With their manager Jim Cornette also the Commissioner of the company, they have been well protected. They believe they can reign for a long time to come...
The Rock 'n' Roll Express have other ideas. They won a number one contender's match to face their old rivals and have had to overcome much diversity to get here, including Robert Gibson nearly having his neck broken by Ray Stevens, as well as Ricky Morton facing Jim Cornette's rage over bringing back the old HBK.
At Grapplemania these two legendary tag teams meet on the biggest stage of their lives to decide once and for all which one of them is the best. How will Cornette in the corner of the Midnight Express affect the match? Can the RNR overcome the odds one final time?
No Disqualification
The Ultimate Warrior vs BatistaSince The Ultimate Warrior debuted in the company he has set his sights on one man - Batista. As best as can be made out from his promos, he believes Batista's ego has led him astray from the path of immortality. He intends to take him down at Grapplemania and stop his reign of destruction.
Batista meanwhile has been left feeling disgusted at not being in the main event. He has no respect for Warrior and has laughed off the idea that Warrior can hit his finishing move on a man of Batista's size. Dave intends to shut up Warrior for good at Grapplemania.
It will be The Warrior vs The Animal as two eras and two egos collide. This one is set to be violent and vicious. Which of these titans will survive it?
Women's Championship
Trish Stratus (c) vs Manami ToyotaThe Women's Championship has been held by Trish Stratus for a long time and she has seen off all challengers. Regarded by many as the greatest North American women's wrestler, she believes she is the greatest of all time...
But so does her opponent and challenger Manami Toyota, regarded by many as the greatest Japanese women's wrestler. She has set her sights on taking the title and answering the question of who the better woman really is.
This is the only match on the show where both opponents respect one another. This isn't a feud bound in hatred or egos. It is two respected greats trying to see who the greatest really is. Tune in to Grapplemania where we will find out the answer.
Freedom vs Legends Title: If Bockwinkel loses he becomes Konnan's slave
Nick Bockwinkel vs Konnan (c)The aristocratic and articulate Nick Bockwinkel entered the company with a lot to smile about. He entered with a unified Legends title he won last year on walt's WECWF company and was not shy showing it off. The snobbish Bockwinkel immediately developed a dislike for the working class Konnan who he felt was a no good thug. When it was announced that there would be a battle royal to crown the first ever MNG Legends Champ, Bockwinkel wanted to become the first man in draft history to hold two belts from two different companies...
Unfortunately for Bockwinkel, Konnan won the battle royal and became MNG Legends Champ. The popular Mexican hates Bockwinkel just as much and considers him arrogant and lacking the class he preaches. Much to Konnan's delight, Bockwinkel has since lost the WECWF Legends belt back to that company and so Konnan agreed to let Bockwinkel try for the MNG Legends Title - as long as he put his freedom on the line.
Therefore a huge amount is at stake for both at Grapplemania. If Bockwinkel wins he takes Konnan's title, but if he loses he must agree to become Konnan's personal slave. With no love lost between either man, which one will be taught manners? Which man will be smiling at the night's end?
Ray Stevens vs Nick DinsmoreThe Crippler Ray Stevens has been on a rampage in Monday Night Grappling. Attacking other wrestlers and referees, he has repeatedly vowed to cripple anyone who gets in his way. When he found he would be facing the number 15 draft pick he showed up for the press conference. When it was revealed the draft pick was Eugene, Stevens attacked the mentally challenged wrestler with a sickening piledriver...
Much to Stevens's surprise however, Eugene returned - sort of. Nick Dinsmore appeared and revealed for years his mind was trapped in that Eugene persona as a result of a biking accident. Inadvertently, Stevens had freed Dinsmore from this mental prison. He has vowed to thank Ray for this by kicking his ass at Grapplemania and bringing to an end Ray's crusade of terror.
At Grapplemania will The Crippler put away this revitalised Nick Dinsmore or will the new lease of life lead the young man to victory?
Mickie James vs Aja KongThe popular Mickie James arrived in the company with hopes of a title opportunity and a keen desire to show the world what she can do. Little did she know however she had a very big problem heading her way...
The monster Aja Kong has developed an obsession for James. Appearing in Mickie James t-shirts and possessing posters and dolls of the woman, she has promised to 'take' James at Grapplemania.
Can Mickie bring an end to Aja's obsessive desire for her or will the big Japanese legend have her way?
Extreme Rules
Marty Jannetty vs Al SnowMarty Jannetty entered the company alongside Snow as part of The New Rockers, a gimmick he had used - and hated - well over 15 years ago. Much to Jannetty's annoyance, Snow said Jannetty should make the gimmick work this time and that he owed Snow that much seeing as Jannetty had walked out on the angle all those years ago...
Sadly for Al Snow, history repeated itself but in more ugly circumstances. Jannetty attacked Snow during a match and walked out on the gimmick for a second time, choosing to align himself with original Rocker Shawn Michaels.
In this Extreme Rules match at Grapplemania, bad feelings brewing since 1996 will be put to bed. In this battle of former partners, will Jannetty finally prove that he never needed Snow or will Snow prove to Jannetty that he was lucky to have him all along? This score will finally be settled once and for all in extreme circumstances.
Eight matches will be on offer at this year's Grapplemania.. Whether it be for pride or prestige everything will be put on the line. Stay tuned to Channel Boards.ie for this exclusive presentation.
We sign off with our official theme song for this year's PPV...
Thanks to everyone who has followed everything so far.'It is better to walk alone in the right direction than follow the herd walking in the wrong direction.'

Winner (8:13): Yokozuna
At WrestleGlory it'll be Vader vs. Yokozuna in a clash of two of the most gargantuan wrestlers in MFW (and all wrestling for that matter) to determine the No. 1 Contender for the World title.
Simon Dean makes his way to the ring on his Segway plugging the Simon System.
Just as he's about to talk DDP's music hits and he walks to the ring and kills Dean with a Diamond Cutter.
DDP: "Monty Brown, you cost me my shot at the World Title, get out here so I can beat the hell out of you!"
Monty Brown's music hits and out here comes.
Monty: "Welcome to the Serengeti!!! The fact that you were in the No. 1 Contenders Tournament and I wasn't is a disgrace. So I did something about it. You want me? You want to hurt me? Well how about we do it at WrestleGlory for your TV title?"
DDP: "You got it".
DDP left and Dean slowly comes to his senses. He began telling Brown about the Simon System. Monty kneed Dean in the gut and hit him with the Pounce.
Monty: "DDP at WrestleGlory, just like this buffoon, you will feel the POOOOOOUUUUUNNNNNCCCCEEEEE!!! Period!"
Still to come, John Cena vs. Lance Hoyt, Davey Richards vs. Eddie Edwards, but up next the debut of highflying sensation Pac.
Pac vs. Chase Stevens (accompanied by Andy Douglas)

Next week, Dean Malenko promises to beat Eddie Edwards faster than Davey Richards did, a three way tag team match to determine the No. 1 Contenders to Doi and Yoshino's tag team titles at WrestleGlory between The Naturals, The Rock and Rave Infection and Michael Elgin and Roderick Strong plus Billy Kidman faces Jack Evans. But up next, John Cena vs. Lance Hoyt.
World Champion John Cena vs. Lance Hoyt (w/ Jimmy Rave)
Cena dominates and makes short work of Hoyt, cutting off a short comeback before finishing Hoyt with an FU followed by the STFU.
Winner (5:41): John Cena
Cena celebrates and this crowd hates him and begin chanting Hardy's name. Suddenly,
Only a percentage of the crowd go nuts (wary of what Cena did last week) but Cena's look of fear seems legitimate this time. For the second week in a row Cena turns towards the crowd and smiles.
Cena: "Fool you once shame on me, fool you twice shame on y..."
Cena turns and Hardy slowly emerges for the entrance way. Cena looks as if he's seen a ghost as the crowd in unglued and the building is shaking. Hardy runs down to the ring but Cena bails with his title. The show closes with Hardy posing on the top rope staring at Cena with the crowd chanting his name.

Commentator – Welcome to another episode of Spongey Wrestling Entertainment and what a show we have today. We have a rematch for the SWE Heavyweight championship in our main event tonight as Macho Man Randy Savage defends his championship against the former champion Bob Backlund. We also have a battle between Ireland and Britain when the Irishman Finlay takes on the Scotsman Drew McIntyre. However it lookslike we’re starting with Goldberg.
Match: Goldberg vs Rick Martel
Goldberg comes out to the ring and wants to say a few words before his match. He says the reason for his attack on Bob Backlund was done for two reasons. The first was to truly announce himself here in the SWE by attacking one of its premier talents and secondly was to shut the whinging that Backlund was constantly doing (the crowd cheer). He also says that he wants to challenge Bob Backlund to a match at Spongemania. He lets go of the mic to get ready for his match and just as he was expecting Rick Martel’s music to start, his own music starts. Goldberg is confused and then out comes Gillberg. The crowd cheer and start shouting Gillberg’s name. Goldberg has a smile on his face and Gillberg squares up to Goldberg (who goes down on his knees to be eye to eye with Gillberg). Goldberg puts on a pose with his arms to show his muscles, Gillberg mirrors it. The two of them are having fun in the ring but out comes Martel to interrupt. He says he hates to interrupt the family get together but he wants to wrestle and seeing as Goldberg has a new buddy how about him wrestling Martel instead. Goldberg looks at Gillberg and agrees.
Martel and Gillberg square off and as the bell rings Gillberg runs at Martel and hits him continuosly, not hard hits but lots of annoying hits. Martel is backed into the corner and urges the ref to get Gillberg away from him. The ref pushes Gillberg back and has to hold him back as Gillberg is constantly trying to get back at Martel. This leaves the ref’s back to Martel and he doesn’t see Goldberg slide in the ring to spear Martel. This allows Gillberg to get the pin. Winner: Gillberg
In The Ring
The Pope D’Angelo Dinero comes out to the ring. Just as he reaches the ring he stretches both hands in the air and lots of €20 notes start falling from the ceiling. The crowd go manic and grab all the notes as they fall. In the ring now, D’Angelo grabs the mic. He says that this country is in a time of turmoil with the word “recession” being one of the most hated words in the dictionary (the crowd boos). Ha says not to fear as the Lord has seen fit to send one of his most charismatic disciples to this fair country of Ireland to bring hope to this beautiful land. He says as he travels the length and breadth of this land he cannot help but be inspired to spread the good word and he knows that he will pull this country out of this recession and the Celtic Tiger will roar again (the crowd cheers). He adds that when looking for his congregation he decided that there is no better place to be than here in the Spongezone (the crowd cheers). At that moment Kane interrupts and comes down to the ring. Dinero knows what his intentions are and is ready to pounce on Kane as he enters the ring. Dinero’s attack is shortlived as Kane begins to beat Dinero to a pulp. Five choke slams and a tombstone piledriver and DInero is motionless in the ring. Kane after slamming his hands down to light the ringposts on fire leaves the ring. Stephanie McMahon races down to the ring to see how Dinero is. The doctors are are out and put Dinero on a stretcher to bring him backstage. Stephanie is holding Dinero’s hand and crying as he is wheeled up the ramp.
Match: Finlay vs Drew McIntyre
Finlay comes out to the ring and the crowd go mad for the Irishman. Next out is Wade Barrett & Drew McIntyre. Barrett only goes as far as the stage as he is banned from ringside but is out there enough to take in all the jeers coming from the crowd. McIntyre makes his way down to the ring. The match starts and Finlay takes control in a slow technical match. He has McIntyre in a fireman’s carry and slams him to the ground. McIntyre is close to being beaten. Finlay has him ready for the Celtic Cross but McIntyre reverses it and as Finlay turns back to face McIntyre he is hit with a short-arm clothesline. McIntyre escapes the ring to recuperate and goes for a steel chair. He gets back in the ring with the chair but the ref stops him and grabs the chair off McIntyre. McIntyre complains to the ref and has his back to Finlay. He turns around and gets whalloped by the shillelagh and the ref doesn’t see it. The ref turns back to see Finlay pin McIntyre for the win. Winner: Finlay
Wade Barrett rushes out to the ring hoping to attack Finlay but the move is scouted well by Finlay who is threatening Barrett with the shillelagh. The two cagily face off and Finlay slowly retreats up the ramp. Barrett meanwhile gets in the ring and grabs the mic. He faces McIntyre and says how disappointed he is in how he lost the match. McIntyre shrugs as if to say it wasn’t his fault. Barrett goes on to say that he shouldn’t have left the job to a Scotsman and if he wants it done right then only an Englishman will do. At that point two people come through the crowd and into the ring. It’s Dave Taylor and Paul Burchill. They proceed to beat McIntyre to a pulp. Barrett is goading McIntyre on the mic. Finlay, who is still on the stage, has had enough and comes to the ring to save McIntyre. The three Englishmen retreat out of the ring and slowly up the ramp smiling at what they have just done.
Backstage
Bob Backlund is exploring the lower reaches of the Spongezone when smoke appears and fills the room. Backlund can’t see anything but the smoke subsides and Papa Shango appears behind Backlund. Backlund is surprised when he sees him. Shango questions Backlund why he is here. Backlund explains that he needs a voodoo doll made to control Goldberg. Shango points out that he needs something belonging to Goldberg to be able to make the doll. Backlund tells Shango that he will be back with what he needs.
Match: SWE Interprovincial Champion Jamie Noble vs Tito Santana
Jamie Noble comes out first and is jeered by the crowd. He is followed closely by his bodyguard Faarooq who is stumbling around half drunk. He is followed by Tito Santana who races out to the ring to great applause. The match is high tempo with Santana eventually getting control with a running crossbody. Santana follows it up with a diving clothesline off the middle turnbuckle and prepares to put the figure four leglock on Noble. Faarooq stumbles onto the apron to distract the ref and Santana breaks the hold. The ref gets Faarooq back to the ground but this has given enough time for Noble to get to his feet. Santana comes off the ropes hoping to deliver a flying forearm smash but Noble ducks and Santana connects with the ref. This allows Faarooq to come in the ring and smash Santana with a chair. He gets the title belt and whilst Noble holds Santana still, Faarooq begins to rush at Santana to hit him with the belt. This time Santana ducks and Noble gets clocked by the belt. Noble is out and Faarooq is shocked. He can’t see Santana come off the ropes and hit him with a flying forearm smash that knocks Faarooq out of the ring. Santana gets the ref and drags him over to Noble who is out cold. Santana covers him and the ref slowly counts the pinfall. Winner and new SWE Interprovincial Champion Tito Santana.
Santana retreats back up the ramp celebrating with the championship. Noble comes round and you can see Faaarooq is apologising for what happened. Noble grabs Faarooq by the throat and berates him. Noble doesn’t hold back abusing a guy almost twice his size. Faarooq takes the abuse and looks a shell of a man as Noble storms off up the ramp
Locker Room
Goldberg and Gillberg are in the shower. The door opens and in sneaks Bob Backlund. He tiptoes over to the pile of clothes and sees a pair of wrestling shorts on the floor. He grabs them and sneaks back out of the locker room. It seems Backlund has what he needs to make his voodoo doll. Goldberg and Gillberg leave the shower and come back to their clothes. Gillberg comments that his wrestling shorts are missing.
Match: Matt Morgan vs The Godfather
Matt Morgan is in the ring with the mic. He says that he is the DNA of SWE and that he knows it doesn’t rhyme but since he was traded to the SWE very suddenly he hasn’t had time to think of anything witty to say. He does say that he wants gold and will use his superior talents to get it. Out comes the Godfather and his hoes take a liking to Morgan. Godfather offers the women to Morgan in exchange for him walking away but Morgan says no. As the women leave the ring, Morgan keeps watching them. This allows Godfather to cheapshot Morgan and the ref starts the match. Godfather continues his attack but is nowhere near the pinfall. Godfather sends Morgan to the ropes and prepares to clothesline him but Morgan ducks comes off the ropes and hits Godfather with a boot to his face. This allows Morgan to recover and now go on the offense. He gets Godfather in the corner and hits him with repeated back elbow strikes. Godfather stumbles out of the corner straight into a Hellevator side slam from Morgan and Morgan gets the pin. Winner: Matt Morgan
Doctor’s Office
D’Angelo Dinero is in the doctor’s office having his injuries seen to. Dinero is livid and can’t keep still. He keeps shouting to let him at Kane and that he wants Kane. Stephanie McMahon can’t calm him down. Dinero pleads with Stephanie to give him his match against Kane and Stephanie reluctantly agrees to have the match next week.
Main Event: SWE Heavyweight Champion Macho Man Randy Savage vs Bob Backlund
Backlund comes to the ring first looking determined to win back his championship. Savage is out next and is milking the cheers. The match starts with Backlund trying to apply the cross face chicken wing to Savage as soon as possible. Savage is having none of it and easily repels the attempts. The frustration is visible from Backlund but his persistence pays off as a cheap shot to the eyes allows him to take control. He can’t get the pin though no matter what he does and he gets further frustrated. Just then Goldberg’s music sounds. This distracts Backlund and he faces to the stage waiting for Goldberg to appear but nothing happens. This allows Savage to come from behind, rolls up Backlund for the quick three count. Savage rolls out of the ring, grabs his belt and the ref raises his hand in victory. Backlund is going beserk in the ring. He is kicking the ropes and shouting at himself. He can’t believe he just lost his rematch. Winner & still SWE Heavyweight Champion Macho Man Randy Savage

Joey Styles welcomes us to WECWF Mayhem Rising LIVE from Madison Square Garden.
Joey then introduces his newest Commentary Partner WECWF Hall of Famer The Junkyard Dog!JOEY STYLES
Many memorable moments have happened here at Madison Square Garden. Hogan vs. Piper at WrestleMania I. The Razor Ramon vs. Shawn Michaels, Ladder Match at WrestleMania X and the Andre The Giant vs. Kurt Angle Match at Mayhem Rising II. Ladies and Gentlemen, I can guarendamntee every single one of you watching tonight around the World, thst it promises to be another one of those magic Madison Square Garden nights
WECWF Mayhem Rising opens with The Co-Owner Ted Dibiase along with his entourage of Virgil and Sherri Martel walking to the ring. Dibiase has a grey bag in his hand. Virgil grabs a microphone from ringside and places it in the hands of the Million Dollar ManJUNKYARD DOG
Joey my brother, the Junkyard Dog is very excited to be here tonight as not only history will be made, but bodies will be broken, and careers will be shortened. Tonight is the beginning of the End for either Vince McMahon or Ted Dibiase. And personally Joey I'm VERY excited to see that.
First to walk out is Harley Race.. And as Race stands in the ring staring at the former Million Dollar Belt, his opponent makes his way out..TED DIBIASE
As that old saying goes possession is only 9 tenths of the law. And as Nick Bockwinkle has decided to jump the WECWF ship to MNG, like an a Italian Sea Captain. It just proves what kind of a "Gentleman" Bockwinkle truely is. And as we all see it, the WECWF legends title he took with him to MNG is nothing more than a glorified paper weight.
Until I take that title back from him at The WECWF vs MNG vs BWA PPV, as far as I'm concerned. Nick Bockwinkle can throw that title in the trash, throw it into the Mississippi River, burn the damn thing for all we care. As far as Me and Vince see it, we mightn't see eye to eye on much, but on this issue we certainly do. And that's that what i have in my hand is now offically the NEW WECWF Legends Title. Dibiase opens the bag, and pulls out the Million Dollar Belt. And at Tonight we have selected 2 extremely worthy Legends to continue the lineage of this Title and who truely deserve to compete for this belt. The bad news for them, is when i beat Nick Bockwinkle and return to WECWF with the old Legends Title, both titles will have to be unified at the next WECWF PPV "A Walk Through Hell"
Lou Thesz makes his way to the ring and gets a massive standing ovation from the WECWF Universe.JOEY STYLES
OH MYYYY GODDD! WECWF has obviously made a massive trade with CMW for the services of a legimate LEGEND and ICON in Lou Thesz, and i can tell all you members of the WECWF Universe i'll for damn sure be getting Mr Thesz to sign my copy of his book "Hooker" after the show is overTED DIBIASE
As you all can see I used my vast connections and even vaster pockets to do a little business with CMW, to prove to all of you, and indeed the WECWF Board of Directors. That the Million Dollar Man Ted Dibiase means nothing but business and is in this promotion for the long haul. Just remember Vince everyone has a price, MAAAHAHAHAHA
Opening Match WECWF Legends Title Match
Lou Thesz vs. Harley Race
Both legends begin the match by shaking hands. And lock up in the centre of the ring, Harley Race, manages to power out of it, and pushes Thesz onto the mat, following up with the low dropkick, Race poses in the ring and the WECWF Universe are on their feet..
As Race continues to pose in the centre of the ring, Thesz goes for the schoolboy rollup and gets a 2 count. As Race gets to his feet Thesz hits the Lou Thesz Press, which Joey Styles is all too happy to explain that its a pleasure for him to call a move named after the man performing it.
Thesz hits a huge belly to belly suplex, and follows up with a massive powerbomb, Thesz sensing victory locks in the STF, Race slowly makes his way to the ropes, just as he has his fingertips to the bottom rope, Thesz pulls him back into the centre of the ring. Race somehow musters up the power to roll Thesz onto his back and the referee counts 1.. 2.. 3
Winner And New WECWF Legends Champion Harley Race.
Race is handed the New title and as he celebrates in the centre of the ring, Lou Thesz raises Harley Races hand in a show of mutual respect between the 2 legitimate legends, Joey Styles and the Junkyard Dog both put over the sportmanship and the sheer athleticsm of the contest.
Vince McMahon is backstage in his office holding his head in his hand as Linda McMahon walks into see him.LINDA MCMAHON
Vincent Kennedy McMahon in all the years I've known you, with all the years we've spent together, I've never been more embarrassed of you as I am right now. Even when you flaunted your affairs with the WWE Divas in my face i wasn't even nearly as ashamed of you as i am right now.
For one thing the Vince McMahon I married would never be cowered up in a ball, scared to death of losing, especially losing what little meaningless piece of crap promotion he has left. The Vince McMahon i know would rise to his feet, tear Ted Dibiase to pieces and Turn WECWF into the global juggernaut that he once had in WWE
Vince obviously feeling the fire returning to his belly begins rising to his feet.VINCE MCMAHON
Yes DAMMIT. Im Vincent F*cking Kennedy McMahon, i took down the Governement, the IRS, had WWF, WCW, and every major promotion in the World in the palm of my hand. And when i beat the living sh*t out of Ted Dibiase tonight all my past glories will return to meLINDA MCMAHON
That's good Vince, Thats the sound of the man I fell in love with. But let me just remind you of one thing... If you lose to Ted tonight.. You lose me too. Because i'll be filling for divorce tomorrow morning. And you really will have nothing left
Vince gulps down his saliva as his wife storms out of the room.
Mean Gene is backstage with Nikolai Volkoff and The Iron Sheik.MEAN GENE

MENE GENE
Confident Words from Confident men...
WECWF World Tag Team Championship Title Match..
Kerry and David Von Erich vs Nikolai Volkoff and The Iron Sheik
The Von Erichs enter the ring through the crowd to a huge reaction from the WECWF crowd, and its quite clear that the clean cut babyfaces are very over with the WECWF Universe.
And as Sheik and Volkoff make their way to the ring the reaction from the Madison Square Garden crowd is the polar opposite. The Iron Sheik has the Iranian Flag in his hand and Nikolai Volkoff has the Flag of the former U.S.S.R in his, and both men wave the flags around the ring to the disgust of the WECWF Universe and the Von Erichs alike. As the ring announcer makes the introduction the Sheik grabs his Iranian Clubs and does numbers reps of lifting and swinging the clubs behind his head.
Both Von Erichs talk in their corner and Kerry Von Erich and Nikolai Volkoff decide to start this bout off.
Von Erich goes for the huge running shoulder tackle and knocks the Russian down, who quickly rolls over to his side of the ring and tags in Sheik. Who goes straight after Von Erich with the huge club to the head, Sheik follows up with a belly to belly suplex, and locks in the camal clutch, which forces David Von Erich to rush into the ring and break the submission up, Both teams are now beating the hells out of each other in the ring. And the referee break both teams up with the prospect of a double DQ.
Sheik and Kerry continue to beat the crap out of each other with both men now tagging in their respective partners, David Von Erich starts getting the Madison Square Garden crowd involved in the match by walking round the ring, clapping and pointing at the crowd, Volkoff gets involved too by waving the Soviet Unions Flag and getting booed out of the arena.
Von Erich and Volkoff trade punches with the Russian getting the upperhand and manages to lock in the Bear Hug, Von Erich wriggles around in agony but manages to chop Volkoff in the neck and gets out of the submission, Tagging in his brother Kerry.
Kerry punches and kicks Volkoff and hits the huge spinbuster, Von Erich lifts up Volkoff and hits another Spinbuster, he then lifts him up a third time, but this time rams Volkoff into the turnbuckle. Without Von Erich noticing The Iron Sheik make the blind tag. And as Von Erich covers and pins Nikolai, Sheik enters the ring and locks in the camel clutch, in the confusion Kerry Von Erich immediately taps out which gives the referee little choice but to announce The Iron Sheik and
Nikolai Volkoff the winners.
Winners And New WECWF World Tag Team Champions The Iron Sheik and Nikolai Volkoff
Sheik and Volkoff wave their respective flags and Championships in the middle of the ring. As Kerry and David Von Erich argue on the outside of the ring. Both Von Erich's shove each other with David hitting Kerry with a massive slap to the side of his face, knocking the younger Von Erich brother to the mat, as David then walks away with an extremely pissed off look on his face.
CM Punk is in his lockerroom getting ready for his match tonight.
MENE GENE
Punk tonight is the culmination of weeks of you and Jake Roberts war of wordsCM PUNK
Mean Gene, I've beaten Roberts in your so called "War of Words" I beat him because I'm better than him, i beat him because im a better human being than Jake Roberts is. I dont smoke, i dont drink and i dont do drugs. Jake Roberts does, He allows them to consume him just like the sponge of temptation he truely is. Like the absolute worthless piece of sh*t he is.
it might seem like I'm preaching against a man who isn't worth breathing the same oxygen as me, and truth be told he doesnt deserve to do that , because he's a walking tornado, hellbent on destroying everything he touches, and I wont allow him to do that to me tonight. Not only am I going to beat Jake Roberts tonight, but I'm gonna allow everyone watching at home to live vicariously through me, and to imagine that everytime i stomp my foot through his skull, that they're doing the exact same thing to one of their parents, who've ruined their lives, just like Roberts did to his Daughter and my own Father did to me

Jake Roberts more strong words tonight from your opponent CM Punk.JAKE "THE SNAKE" ROBERTS
CM Punk you may think your manipulating is winning over the WECWF Universe, you may think you words are slowly helping you to beat me. But you've forgetten one thing Punk. Your words mean nothing to me,
I've spent my entire career living day to day, never knowing if I'll even wake up the next day, never knowing if i'll join my friends and peers in the Royal Rumble in the Sky. Truth be told Punk I've come to terms with my demons. You might even say I've learned to embrace them. My demons are what led me down this path, And all that stands at the end of that Path is you and your WEWCF World Heavywight Title, and all i have to do to get my hand's on that title is knock your teeth down your throat. Which believe me Punk, not only will i be putting you in the hospital tonight, I plan on taking your one addiction away from you. By ending your career

The Great Khali attacked the Mean Street Smarks.
Hulk Hogan got attacked backstage. Later, Brutus Beefcake also got assaulted yet again on his way to the ring, for the third time by a mystery assailant. He still made his way to the ring and somehow defeated Rikishi in a number one contendership match for R-Truth's intercontinental title!
........................................................................................................................................
"Here comes the money......."
Intensity opens with Shane McMahon walking to the ring.
Shane: Unfortunately, I have the displeasure to announce that earlier today, Brutus Beefcake was attacked in his house. He has incurred serious injuries and will not compete in the Intercontinental Match on Sunday, as planned. (booos). PWF doctors have told me that we won't be seeing Beefcake again for at least 4-5 months.
J.R.: Oh my God!
Shane: Therefore, instead of Beefcake, it will be Little Jimmy against Big Ricky. Rikishi will take Brutus' place and fight R-Truth for the Intercontinental Championship at Battle-Mania. (boooos)
J.R.: I can't believe this. What kind of crazy guy would attack a guy in his home. Only one person has gained from this and that's Rikishi. Who else woulda done this. And then Shane comes along and hands Rikishi what he wants, even though Beefcake beat him right there in that ring last week!
Shane: I promise to track down the perpetrators and report them to the police. If they are members of the PWF, they will be suspended without pay!
"THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE"
R-Truth's music hits. R-Truth enters with an intense look on his face. (cheers)
R-Truth: Well, well, looks like Brutus Beefcake is afraid to fight me afterall. (WHAT!) Too bad;I was looking forward to the challenge. (WHAT!) Rikishi, Little Jimmy thinks ya'll be a bit too easy.
Rikishi's music hits and he comes to ringside.
R-Truth: Wow, you are even fatter up close.
Rikishi: You think's that's funny?
R-Truth: Yep, and so does Little Jimmy.
Rikishi: You are gonna get squashed.
R-Truth: And you are gonna get got!!!! And that's the truth!
Both men stare each other down!
J.R.: In the first match of the night Greg "The Hammer" Valentine will defend his 24/7 Hardcore Title against Bart Gunn!!
Eventually Bart Gunn defeats the Hammer however out comes Crash Holly who pins Bart Gunn to win the title. The three continue brawling and fighting with the 24/7 title changing hands numerous times. Finally Crash sneaks in to pin the Hammer and runs off with the belt through the crowd. With Valentine already fighting for the tag belts at Battle-Mania, it is announced that Crash Holly will defend his Hardcore Championship against Bart Gunn at Battle-Mania!
The Mean Street Smarks music hits and they walk toward the arena. (booos)
Hulk Hogan joins J.R. on commentary.
J.R.: Are these guys still around? I thought The Great Khali had done away with them last week.
Hulk: I thought they wouldn't have the courage turn up again after the beating they got last week. Just goes to show they must have some of these, brother. (points to his balls).
The Smarks enter the ring:
Joey Abs: Last week's attack was a disgrace. (boos)
Pete Gas: Yeah, it wasn't even Kayfabe.
Joey Abs: Yeah. So we decided we needed some enforcers, something you idiot marks probably won't appreciate.
Bruno Sammartino's music hits and Bruno walks to the arena. (mixed reaction)
J.R.: What?
Joey Abs: Ladies and Gentlemen, idiot marks....Bruno Sammartino!
Sammartino: Hello. I have an announcement to make. I am really a Smark!
Hulk: This is crazy, dude!
Sammartino: I know all the wrestler's real names, and I even looked up what was going to happen in tonight's show before coming here. These guys are my buddies online, and anyone who messes with them, will have to deal with me.
Bruno Sammartino is then put into a match against Trevor Murdoch with the smarks supporting him.
J.R.: And Murdoch getting thrown out of the ring by Sammartino. And look at those idiot Smarks attacking him while the referee's back is turned.
Hulk: This has always been Sammartino's style, J.R. It's why he never wanted to fight me back in the day. The Hulkster kicked his ass two weeks ago and look at him needing the help of these idiots, brother.
J.R.: And Murdoch fighting them off and get back in the ring and oh no, the Bearhug by Sammartino. Murdoch taps, Murdoch taps.
Sammartino's music plays as he and the Smarks celebrate.
J.R.: Oh come on, look at this. The Mean Street Smarks attacking Murdoch. And here comes his friend Lance Cade but nothing he can do - he's getting beaten back. And wait a minute -
J.R.: It's the Great Khali, The Great Khali. And look at those big chops. Over and over again. And the Mean Street Smarks escaping the ring.
Shane McMahon comes out.
Shane: I want to ask, what do you guys want exactly.
Pete Gas: We want full booking power over the PWF so we can do with it exactly what we want.
Joey Abs: Yeah, we'll push who we want, when we want. And remove all these silly promos. Replace them with real wrestling matches. We will save the reputation of Professional Wrestling and there will be nothing these idiot marks will be able to do about it.
Shane: Why would we hand that kind of power over to you?
Sammartino: Because if you don't I will beat the hell out of you, tonight!
Shane: Ok, how about this, I will accept your challenge at Battle-Mania to prove I'm not a coward. Me and you in a match you never lost in, inside a Steel Cage. And the Mean Street Smarks will fight Lance Cade, Trevor Murdoch and the Great Khali in a 6-man Tag match. If you win both matches, you can have control of the show. Otherwise, you leave the PWF.
The Smarks look shocked.
Backstage, Hulk Hogan is angry and power-walking along the corridor.
An interviewer approaches him.
Mene Gene: What's your reaction to the news that your friend Brutus Beefcake was assaulted and will not be able to compete Sunday. Bearing in mind that Shane McMahon has promised to suspend the perpetrators without pay.
Hogan: Gene, when I find out who did this, and assaulted him all those other times, and who assaulted me last week, getting suspended without pay will be the least of these people's worries. They are going to be destroyed, brother. When the Hulkster gets his hands on them, I am going to pound them over and over and HulkaMania will run wild once again!
Hogan walks into Sheamus's locker room but nobody is inside. He destroys the place, while looking for evidence. He doesn't seem to find anything so he walks out and bumps into a woman, who was about to be interviewed by Kevin Kelly. He hugs her.
J.R.: That's Brutus Beefcake's wife.
Hogan: Sorry to hear about what happened. How is he?
Barbara: He's really bad.
Hogan: I'm going to find these guys, I promise. I found this key in there, it's got a Brutus Beefcake keyring attached.
Barbara: That's the keys for our house, that must be how he got in, because no doors or windows were broken.
Hogan goes to Shane McMahon's locker room
Hogan: Look what I found in Sheamus's locker room. Brutus Beefcake's house keys.
Shane: You need more evidence than that, I'm sorry. You know if I suspend him you'll miss out on the match and a big payday on Sunday.
Hogan: You know what, forget about it. I'm going to beat the living hell out of him on Sunday. He won't dare attack either of us ever again.
In a triple-threat match between The Honky Tonk Man, Grandmaster Sexay and Billy Gunn (with their respective tag partners in their corners), The Honky Tonk Man was the victor, giving his team momentum heading into Battle-Mania and the triple-threat tag-team match.
J.R.: Our main event: R-Truth and Hulk Hogan against Sheamus and Rikishi.
Hogan and R-Truth have some good moments but finally Rikishi and Sheamus work together to take down both men at once. All four men eventually end up on the outside.
J.R: Good God, and they are fighting through the crowd and everything. There is complete chaos. All four men have now being counted out. I have never seen anything... oh and R-Truth getting his head rammed into the table. And..Good god almighty. And a steel chair, and oh my god, this is insane. It's easy to see that none of these guys like each other a damn it. This show has overrun. Ladies and Gentlemen, see you at Battle-Mania!!!!! With so many questions to be answered, Sports Entertainment or Professional Wrestling, Marks or Smarks, HulkaMania or SheamusMania....and who the hell took out Brutus Beefcake?

MNG GRAPPLEMANIA
Fireworks and pyro go off from a sell-out crowd at Madison Square Garden, NY as we welcome you to Monday Night Grappling: Grapplemania. There will be 8 emotionally charged matches on show, with 4 championships at stake, including our main event where the future of the World Title, and indeed perhaps the fate of the company itself, will be decided. Let us get the show under way...
Extreme Rules
Marty Jannetty vs Al Snow
Back-story: Marty Jannetty entered the company alongside Snow as part of The New Rockers, a gimmick he had used - and hated - well over 15 years ago. Much to Jannetty's annoyance, Snow said Jannetty should make the gimmick work this time and that he owed Snow that much seeing as Jannetty had walked out on the angle all those years ago...
Sadly for Al Snow, history repeated itself but in more ugly circumstances. Jannetty attacked Snow during a match and walked out on the gimmick for a second time, choosing to align himself with original Rocker Shawn Michaels.
In this Extreme Rules match at Grapplemania, bad feelings brewing since 1996 will be put to bed. In this battle of former partners, will Jannetty finally prove that he never needed Snow or will Snow prove to Jannetty that he was lucky to have him all along? This score will finally be settled once and for all in extreme circumstances.The Match: Snow makes his intentions clear from the beginning bringing with him a trolley full of weapons and enterting the ring with a kendo stick. He proceeds to beat Marty incessantly in the early stages as Al's greater experience with this type of match proves significant.
Highlights include Snow using a bowling ball to Marty's lower extremities, blasting Marty with a fire extinguisher and using a cheese grater causing Marty to bleed.
As the match continues however Jannetty shows a mean streak of his own. He hits Snow repeatedly with a trash can lid, hits a neckbreaker on the steel steps and even manages to hit a splash on Snow through a table.
The match is frantic in the early stages but as the match nears its end both men are hurting from unleashing years of pent up animosity. The finish of the match sees Marty attempting to hit a DDT on a chair in the ring. Snow counters and shoves Marty forwards before cheekily trying for a Super Kick. Marty however ducks and hits one of his own for a 1...2...no, Snow kicks out. Marty argues with the ref as Al creeps to the ropes and takes Head from the Trolley. As Marty picks Snow up he is clocked by Head and Snow then lifts Marty up for a Snow Plow on the chair for the 1...2...3.
Winner: Al Snow
Snow celebrates by shaking Head as Marty lies prone in the ring. Marty's blood is smeared all over Head as Al can be heard asking how and when she hurt herself.
Why I went with this feud: I liked the fact that this seemed like a rivalry that would be believable. Marty Jannetty genuinely hated the idea of doing the New Rockers gimmick and I'm sure Snow was equally unhappy to see him walk out on the gimmick in the mid-nineties. To be put back in the same scenario would no doubt bring out a lot of bad blood.
Why I booked it this way: I feel there would be more mileage in Snow as a quirky mid-card character than there would be with Jannetty who I'd primarily use to put guys over in great matches.
Mickie James vs Aja Kong
Back-story: The popular Mickie James arrived in the company with hopes of a title opportunity and a keen desire to show the world what she can do. Little did she know however she had a very big problem heading her way...
The monster Aja Kong has developed an obsession for James. Appearing in Mickie James t-shirts and possessing posters and dolls of the woman, she has promised to 'take' James at Grapplemania.
Can Mickie bring an end to Aja's obsessive desire for her or will the big Japanese legend have her way?The Match: Before the bell Aja revealed on her gear a picture of Mickie's face in a tactic made famous of course by Rick Rude. This sent Mickie into a rage who began hitting Aja with shots to the face but Aja smiled and seemed to get a kick out of this. Aja toyed with Mickie early on and the most offence she used was a playful slap on Mickie's behind. Mickie got madder and madder and eventually started landing some big moves such as the Mickie-Go-Round and a big bulldog as Aja now began to get mad.
Aja began to take the match seriously and hit some big moves but Mickie kept kicking out. Aja seemed impressed. The finish saw Aja signal the end with a big powerbomb but Mickie wriggled free and nailed her with a Mick Kick. The fans were on their feet...1..2...but Aja kicks out powerfully as the fans groan. Aja got up and then asked for another and Mickie hit more kicks but they have no effect as Aja gives Mickie a crazed look. Aja hits Mickie with a powerbomb...then picks her up for another one...and then another powerbomb. A triple powerbomb. She makes the cover...1...2...3.
Winner: Aja Kong
After the match Aja looked down at the unconscious Mickie and then looked up at the crowd and smiled. She licked her lips as the commentators called her a sick monster. She then carried Mickie up the ramp.Commentary: Where is this monster taking Mickie James? My goodness some of these fans are actually cheering her on!Why I went with this feud: I like matches with a monster heel and a plucky underdog babyface and I liked the twist that Mickie was being stalked by another wrestler, which I think was the angle Mickie did when she first came to WWE.
Why I booked it this way: I would want to keep Aja strong going forward in the women's division so I always saw this match going this way.
Ray Stevens vs Nick Dinsmore
Back-story: The Crippler Ray Stevens has been on a rampage in Monday Night Grappling. Attacking other wrestlers and referees, he has repeatedly vowed to cripple anyone who gets in his way. When he found he would be facing the number 15 draft pick he showed up for the press conference. When it was revealed the draft pick was Eugene, Stevens attacked the mentally challenged wrestler with a sickening piledriver...
Much to Stevens's surprise however, Eugene returned - sort of. Nick Dinsmore appeared and revealed for years his mind was trapped in that Eugene persona as a result of a biking accident. Inadvertently, Stevens had freed Dinsmore from this mental prison. He has vowed to thank Ray for this by kicking his ass at Grapplemania and bringing to an end Ray's crusade of terror.
At Grapplemania will The Crippler put away this revitalised Nick Dinsmore or will the new lease of life lead the young man to victory?The Match: Dismore starts brightly using his speed and quickness hitting a series of dropkicks and arm drags and getting some early two counts. Stevens is shaken and heads out of the ring early on.
As the match progressed however it became more mat based and Stevens's experience helped him take over. Dinsmore however gave a good account of himself and the two men have their moments, including Dinsmore getting a long two count after a Rock Bottom.
The finish of the match sees Dinsmore setting up for a Pedigree but Stevens would show his technical prowess by countering out of it and hitting his trademark piledriver for the 1-2-3 victory.
Winner: Ray Stevens
After the match Stevens starts screaming he's The Crippler and he'll cripple anyone who gets in his way. He grabs a chair and goes to set Dinsmore up for a piledriver on it. The ref tries to stop him but Stevens hits the ref with a piledriver as the commentators scream he should be suspended indefinitely.
Chuck Palumbo ran down to intervene but he got nailed with a piledriver too. Stevens then nailed Dinsmore with a piledriver on the chair as a horde of security men finally sent Stevens out of the ring. Stevens sneers and exits through the fans who wisely keep well away from him.
Why I went with this feud: I've enjoyed writing for Stevens who just wants to end people's careers. I thought a nice twist would be to have him seek to end Eugene's career but in doing so inadvertently free Nick Dinsmore from his Eugene persona.
Why I booked it this way: I would have big plans for Stevens and would want to move him up to the main event scene so having him go over here is essential.
Freedom vs Legends Title: If Bockwinkel loses he becomes Konnan's slave
Nick Bockwinkel vs Konnan (c)
Back-story: The aristocratic and articulate Nick Bockwinkel entered the company with a lot to smile about. He entered with a unified Legends title he won last year on walt's WECWF company and was not shy showing it off. The snobbish Bockwinkel immediately developed a dislike for the working class Konnan who he felt was a no good thug. When it was announced that there would be a battle royal to crown the first ever MNG Legends Champ, Bockwinkel wanted to become the first man in draft history to hold two belts from two different companies...
Unfortunately for Bockwinkel, Konnan won the battle royal and became MNG Legends Champ. The popular Mexican hates Bockwinkel just as much and considers him arrogant and lacking the class he preaches. Much to Konnan's delight, Bockwinkel has since lost the WECWF Legends belt back to that company and so Konnan agreed to let Bockwinkel try for the MNG Legends Title - as long as he put his freedom on the line.
Therefore a huge amount is at stake for both at Grapplemania. If Bockwinkel wins he takes Konnan's title, but if he loses he must agree to become Konnan's personal slave. With no love lost between either man, which one will be taught manners? Which man will be smiling at the night's end?The Match: A heavy emphasis on mat wrestling in this one, with Bockwinkel using his greater experience to gain the upper hand. Konnan is faced with many submission moves as Bockwinkel shouts that he wants to see Konnan tap out. It looks at one stage like Bockwinkel will make Konnan pass out as the referee checks his arm once...twice...but not a third as Konnan has fight left in him. The fans get behind Konnan as the match progresses and he is able to use his greater quickness to surprise Bockwinkel with some big moves.
The finish sees Konnan setting Bockwinkel up for a bulldog but Bockwinkel counters and sends Konnan into the turnbuckle crotch-first. Bockwinkel then drags Konnan to the ring to lock in the sleeper as the fans fear the end. Konnan however is not done and manages to reverse into his Tequila Sunrise submission finisher. Bockwinkel desperately reaches for the ropes but Konnan holds on...and Bockwinkel taps!
Winner and still MNG Legends Champ: Konnan
The New York fans chant 'You tapped out' as a look of dread fills Bockwinkel's face - now he must do whatever Konnan asks of him. Konnan grabs a mic and tells Bockwinkel he is a hard task-master and to expect minimum wage. He tells him not to worry though as he can have the title belt - because Konnan wants it to be polished and shining brightly when he celebrates with his New York homies later on. So get to it, burro.
Why I went with this feud: I decided on this feud very early on because I felt they were great contrasting characters and I liked the idea that they both believed in class but didn't think the other had any.
Why I booked it this way: Konnan just won the title so a title change would be too soon and besides I think there would be great comedy in Bockwinkel working for Konnan. I had fun ideas which I'll not get to use such as Konnan sending Bockwinkel to the hood to get some 'stuff' and having Bockwinkel mow his lawn. I think there would be a lot of funny moments between these two.'It is better to walk alone in the right direction than follow the herd walking in the wrong direction.'

Women's Championship
Trish Stratus (c) vs Manami Toyota
Back-story: The Women's Championship has been held by Trish Stratus for a long time and she has seen off all challengers. Regarded by many as the greatest North American women's wrestler, she believes she is the greatest of all time...
But so does her opponent and challenger Manami Toyota, regarded by many as the greatest Japanese women's wrestler. She has set her sights on taking the title and answering the question of who the better woman really is.
This is the only match on the show where both opponents respect one another. This isn't a feud bound in hatred or egos. It is two respected greats trying to see who the greatest really is. Tune in to Grapplemania where we will find out the answer.The Match: At the start Trish extended her hand to Toyota and when she shook it Trish gave her a flip as the fans cheered. The fans were about 60:40 in Trish's favour. Toyota however didn't seem rattled and ended up hitting a series of arm drags to leave Trish looking concerned.
The match seemed to be in Toyota's favour early on as she hit some spectacular high-flying moves sending Trish out to the floor. Trish looked frustrated. Trish was able to stem Toyota's dominance however by using some fairly questionable tactics. At one stage the ref asked Toyota to let Trish out of the ropes and Trish hit Toyota with a thumb to the eye. On another occasion Trish acted like she had hurt her ankle and as Toyota paused to let her up Trish hit her with some vicious shots. Trish was able to take control in the match in this way.
The finish of the match saw Trish hit her big moves on Toyota - Stratusfaction and the Trish Kick but Toyota kicked out. Toyota then was able to hit big moves of her own such as a brainbuster and a moonsault but Trish kicked out. As the match approached the thirty minute mark the fans were standing. Trish signalled for the end with the sharpshooter - would Toyota tap? No she made the ropes. Toyota then used impressive leg strength to reverse the move and put Trish in the same hold - would Trish tap? No. Fans urged a tap out but both women broke the hold and held their legs in pain.
Trish went for the move again but Toyota reversed it into a cradle - 1...2...3! We have a new Women's Champion.
Winner and new Women's Champion: Manami Toyota
Fans stood and applauded both women as Toyota shed tears of joy; Trish tears of bitter disappointment. The commentators put over the great effort of both women. Trish remained on her knees in tears as Toyota helped her up and extended her hand. However Trish angrily shook her head and blew the handshake off as the fans booed. Toyota shook her head in disappointment at this.
Why I went with this feud: I decided I'd try to have a strong women's division this year and I don't think you can get a stronger women's match than this tbh.
Why I booked it this way: On the shows I've been teasing a slow Trish heel turn and as I want this feud to continue, I think Trish needs to be in heel mode in future for it to last effectively.
No Disqualification
The Ultimate Warrior vs Batista
Back-story: Since The Ultimate Warrior debuted in the company he has set his sights on one man - Batista. As best as can be made out from his promos, he believes Batista's ego has led him astray from the path of immortality. He intends to take him down at Grapplemania and stop his reign of destruction.
Batista meanwhile has been left feeling disgusted at not being in the main event. He has no respect for Warrior and has laughed off the idea that Warrior can hit his finishing move on a man of Batista's size. Dave intends to shut up Warrior for good at Grapplemania.
It will be The Warrior vs The Animal as two eras and two egos collide. This one is set to be violent and vicious. Which of these titans will survive it?The match: Batista appeared first and was wearing what appeared to be actual tiger skin draped around him. He had decent support from the New York crowd. Warrior got a long video package showing a satellite passing through various planets before landing in parts unknown as his music hit.
Warrior got some boos but mostly cheers. He charged to the ring and shook the ropes. After the music stopped Batista then shook the ropes trying to upstage Warrior but he got more boos than Warrior who began pumping his arms up and down. Batista then flipped off Warrior who charged at him.
Warrior hit his standard offence. Clotheslines and big shoulder tackles before signalling for his finisher. He was trying to end things early and went for the military press but his back gave way and he fell to the mat. Warrior looked up to the heavens in despair as Batista got to his feet and laughed. He began beating on Warrior.
Batista dominated for most of the match. He brought the steel steps into the ring and a steel chair and nailed Warrior. Batista connected with a big spinebuster on a chair but only got a 2 count. Warrior was able to come back with steel chair shots and a pipe he found under the ring. The action spilled outside and Batista set Warrior up for a Batista Bomb through the Spanish announce table but Warrior countered and sent Batista backwards into the regular announce table.
Warrior dragged Batista into the ring for 1...2..but Batista kicked out.
Warrior then hit a spash on the fallen Batista and covered again...but Batista again kicked out. He ran the ropes to hit a bigger splash but Batista got to his feet and landed a spinebuster on the steel steps as the fans chanted 'holy ****'.
Batista covered Warrior for the 1...2...but Warrior kicked out. Barely. Batista picked the steps up and threw them outside along with the chair. He made the thumbs up, thumbs down motion as the fans got to their feet. Batista set up for the Batista Bomb - and he connected.
Batista covered Warrior. 1...2...but Warrior kicked out! A look of shock filled Batista's face as Warrior looked to be going into another zone. Batista nailed him with punches but this time they were having no effect. Warrior then countered and hit shots of his own and knocked Batista down. He hit more clotheslines and shoulder tackles. He shook the ropes as the fans came unglued. He set Batista up for the military press - and did it. The veins on Warrior's muscles protruded as he amazingly held Batista's massive frame over his head and dropped him down. He ran the ropes for the big splash on Batista. 1..2..3. Warrior has done it!
Winner: The Ultimate Warrior
After the match Warrior celebrates as Batista looks in shock. Batista slinks out of the ring as the fans jeer him and the Animal can be heard mouting 'I don't believe it.' Warrior meanwhile mouths something to the sky, possibly thanking his gods.
Why I went with this feud: With the egos of these two, as well as the fact they are from different eras, this felt like an entertaining clash of characters.
Why I booked it this way: I think Warrior would need to be protected more as he's probably my second biggest babyface.
World Tag Team Titles
The Midnight Express (c) w/Jim Cornette vs The Rock 'n' Roll Express
Back-story: The Midnight Express have had a long reign as tag team champions. With their manager Jim Cornette also the Commissioner of the company, they have been well protected. They believe they can reign for a long time to come...
The Rock 'n' Roll Express have other ideas. They won a number one contender's match to face their old rivals and have had to overcome much diversity to get here, including Robert Gibson nearly having his neck broken by Ray Stevens, as well as Ricky Morton facing Jim Cornette's rage over bringing back the old HBK.
At Grapplemania these two legendary tag teams meet on the biggest stage of their lives to decide once and for all which one of them is the best. How will Cornette in the corner of the Midnight Express affect the match? Can the RNR overcome the odds one final time?The Match: Cornette appeared first and ripped on the New York fans who gave him stick. He said the next two matches were the biggest of his career but since he can't get involved in the main event match (as the contract stipulated) he is however allowed to be out here to offer 'support' to the Midnight Express.
The match itself was a tag team classic with both teams working hard to give the fans a great show. The RNR looked to have the advantage early on using a series of impressive combination moves and ensuring Cornette was going apoplectic on the outside. Cornette however got involved in the action and pulled the legs of Morton which allowed the Midnight Express to get the upper hand. They too hit a series of impressive tag team combo moves on Morton and thwarted every effort of Gibson to get in the match. Cornette did too - at one point he got the ref's attention when Morton made the tag and thus when the ref saw Gibson in the ring he ordered him right back out. At another stage he pulled Gibson down off the apron to prevent the tag and delighted in seeing Morton take a beating.
Near the end, we saw Lane go up top for the Rocket Launcher on Morton but Morton was able to move out of the way. Morton then hit a hip toss on Eaton and hopped over for the tag to Gibson as MSG let out a huge cheer. Gibson was on fire and looked to have the momentum but Cornette again got involved and tripped Gibson. With the ref's back turned had enough and jumped Cornette and nailed him with shots as the fans went wild. Lane however went to his manager's aid and threw Morton into the barricade.
The finish saw Lane distract the ref as Eaton grabbed hold of Gibson. A bloody Cornette grabbed his racket and motioned to Eaton to bring Gibson over but Gibson fought out and Cornette accidentally nailed Eaton with the racket. Morton recovered and sent Lane into the steel steps and both Morton and Gibson hit a double dropkick on Eaton who was pinned 1...2...3!
Winners and new World Tag Team Champions: The Rock 'n' Roll Express
Afterwards as the RNR celebrated, the Midnight Express began arguing with Cornette. Cornette began angrily thrusting his finger into their chests reminding them he was their boss and telling them they were nothing without him. Both Lane and Eaton looked at one other and then pushed Cornette to the floor as the fans cheered. The Midnight Express went over to the RNR and raised their hands aloft in a show of respect as the audience cheered.
Afterwards Cornette got back in the ring with a mic and ripped on the Midnight Express. He said he wasn't going to allow the night get any worse and regardless of what the main event stips were, he was going to stay out here and watch Michaels take on Misawa. However some attornies and security guys came out and said the main event must have no outside involvement. Cornette was humiliatingly escorted up the ramp.
Why I went with this feud: This is a classic tag team rivalry and I liked the idea of them having one more big match on the biggest stage to determine who really were the better men.
Why I booked it this way: I think the RNR needed the win more here. Since the M.E. had a long reign on my show, and with Cornette in their corner, I think the audience would be begging for a title switch and I think it made sense to give it to them.
Main Event
World Heavyweight Championship
Shawn Michaels vs Mitsuharu Misawa (c)
Back-story: Shawn Michaels entered the company a broken man. He had lost his faith following his Wrestlemania losses to Undertaker. He wanted to retire. However following a pep talk from old friend Ricky Morton of the Rock 'n' Roll Express, Michaels was urged to bring out the old HBK. Who knew the dire consequences this would have. Michaels returned to his Attitude Era ways and after signing a contract for the World Title match, he vowed to leave with the title in what he called 'the Ultimate Screwjob'. There can be no outside interference. There are no stipulations. Only one man stands in his way...
Misawa has been the company's champion for many months. He has represented the fans with honour and respect. Having wanted to test himself against Michaels since the beginning, Misawa has become appalled by Michaels's antics which included humping the Japanese flag and insulting the Japansese people. Misawa knows only he stands in the way of Michaels completing his grand scheme.
It is honour vs dishonour. Respect vs Disrespect. Morality vs degeneracy. Can Misawa save the company in its darkest hour?The Match: As the pair faced off, Misawa had the majority of support but Michaels had some fans. Michaels began jaw-jacking with Misawa who remained motionless. Michaels then slapped Misawa in the face. The fans booed. Misawa then hit a massive slap back to Michaels's face that busted his lip. The fans cheered. Michaels smiled and the two exchanged shots.
Misawa got the early advantage, peppering Michaels's chest with some hard chops that drew blood. Michaels tried to reply but Misawa's blows were more effective. Misawa took Michaels to the mat and began to grind him down with his chain wrestling.
Michaels however showed he had plenty of fight. As the ref checked if he had the energy to continue Michaels found a second wind and began landing shots to Misawa. He hit an inverted atomic drop, clotheslines, a scoop slam and went up for the big elbow - but Misawa moved. Misawa went for a powerbomb and connected. 1...2...no, Michaels got the shoulder up.
As the match wore on Michaels decided to revert to some dirty tricks. Taking a page out of Flair's book he backed off and acted like he was sorry but landed a cheap shot to Misawa. Michaels then proceeded to work over the legs of Misawa and was able to successfully wear down Misawa for a time.
The final stages of the match saw Michaels and Misawa brawl to the floor. Michaels set Misawa up on the table and hit a huge moonsault on Misawa, but Misawa moved. The table didn't break yet Michaels landed hard. Misawa then hit Michaels with his Emerald Flowsion through the table as the fans chanted 'holy ****'. Misawa dragged HBK into the ring and covered
1...2...but Michaels got a shoulder up. Misawa looked surprised. He picked Michaels up and hit Emerald Flowsion again and covered.
1...2...again Michaels kicked out. Misawa was stunned by this and shook his head. Now some HBK chants started.
Misawa looked to hit it a third time but Michaels fought out of it. He went for a Super Kick but Misawa ducked and Michaels nailed referee Mike Chioda. Misawa went to check on the ref and turned around into a DDT by Michaels who once again went for a sharpshooter. This time Earl Hebner ran down - isn't this familiar? Misawa reversed the piledriver and then hit a massive elbow to Hebner who crashed out of the ring unconscious. He was later helped to the back.Commentators: Misawa isn't taking any chances!Misawa looked to have the momentum now. He set HBK up for the Tiger Driver but Michaels fought out of it and sent Misawa into the ropes where he hit him with a running punch that floored him. Both men were down - but Michaels nipped up. To a mixed reaction Michaels looked to have the momentum now. He hit a scoop slam on Misawa and followed it with a diving elbow that connected. He went to the corner and began to tune up the band.Commentators: Is this it? Is this the end of the road, ladies and gentlemen?Misawa staggered to his feet - he turned around - into Sweet Chin Music! Referee Chioda was now alright as Michaels covered...

Just a 2! Misawa kicked out. The fans were going crazy at this point wondering what it was going to take. An exasperated look could be seen on the face of Michaels as his weary body lay atop Misawa. The referee began to count both men who lay exhausted on the mat. Both slowly came to their feet at 9.
Michaels was first up and squeezed Misawa's face. 'I'm not sorry' said Michaels as he shaped for a final Super Kick - however Misawa caught the leg. He spun Michaels and landed a huge Tiger Driver on HBK. Misawa, exhausted, then draped his hand over Michaels...

thr...no! Michaels's shoulder came up again.Commentators: I am not believing this. Michaels has kicked out of the Tiger Driver from MisawaScreams are heard from the fans as grown men are seen jumping up and down at this classic match unfolding before their eyes. Misawa slowly rises to his feet. He has something in mind. He picks Michaels up and positions for - a Tombstone of his own. Is Michaels going to be put down with this move one last time?
...No - Michaels wriggles free and sends Misawa into the turnbuckle. He charges but Misawa sticks out a leg and catches him in the stomach. He brings Michaels up to the turnbuckle.Commentary: My goodness Misawa is going to try a Tiger Driver from the top rope!Michaels desperately fights out of the predicament and instead attempts a huge superplex from the top rope on Misawa, but Misawa is able to fight out of it, and sends Michaels crashing to the mat below. Misawa steadies himself as Michaels struggles to his feet. As Misawa sizes HBK up...
Michaels does the DX suck it gesture. Misawa stops in his tracks and a visible look of fury fills his face. Misawa springs off the top rope - right into a gigantic Super Kick from Shawn Michaels. The fans are stunned and the famous fecal chant is heard one more time. A spent Michaels finds the energy to raise a hand over Misawa's chest.

3. It is all over.
Winner and new World Heavyweight Champion: Shawn Michaels.
At almost the 50 minute mark the match finally ends. Fans rise to their feet showing their appreciation to both men. In a moment reminiscent of Wrestlemania 12 Michaels has tears in his eyes. The mood changes quickly however as a grin forms on the face of Michaels - he starts to laugh.
Michaels can be heard telling the ref to tell Misawa to get the f*ck out of the ring as this is his moment - another thing reminiscent of Wrestlemania 12.
Misawa however walks over to Michaels and extends his hand. Michaels seems taken aback by this. 'After everything you wanna shake my hand'? Misawa nods. Michaels goes to shake it but then pulls back and spits in Misawa's face before quickly exiting the ring. He laughs and leaves the ring as the fans boo loudly.
Garbage is now being thrown at Michaels as he walks up the ramp with the title as Misawa stands with his hands on his hips in the ring.
Jim Cornette comes out at the top of the ramp and has a contract in his hand. He begs Michaels to stay. Michaels takes the contract - and then rips it up before Cornette's eyes. He waves bye bye in Cornette's face who calls him a son of a bitch. Michaels smiles and hits a Super Kick that floors Cornette on the ramp.
Michaels turns around and points to all the fans and then Misawa and does the 'suck it' gesture. He turns around around and exits the building.
Why I went with this feud: Well aside from the obvious that it's two great wrestlers who have never battled before, I liked the fact that Misawa was so respected in his career whereas Attitude Era Michaels was condemend for his antics. I liked the idea of Michaels returning to his Attitude Era persona (we last saw elements of this during his feud with Hogan) and embodying disrespect and ego against a guy like Misawa who embodied respect and humility.
Why I booked it this way: I think Misawa winning would be the easy, expected outxome but I think Michaels winning makes more sense long-term. If I were to continue this feud I'd do what WWE missed the ball on doing with CM Punk last summer and have Michaels show up in various settings for several months, continually disrespecting Misawa, the Japanese people and the company itself. Then the big revenge match would take place in Japan where the interest would be mega. Here I'd have Misawa win the title back in front in his home fans and offer HBK one more match on US soil to settle things once and for all.
With careful planning I think the feud between these two could go on for a good long while and produce many great moments.
That's it from me this year. Thanks to those who read along and to BH and D2D for their hard work.'It is better to walk alone in the right direction than follow the herd walking in the wrong direction.'
