The NWL is America's premier wrestling promotion. It follows a more sports like format, but does not compromise the quality of the story being told both inside and out of the ring. NWL offers something for everyone.

Every Monday night, NWL's Monday Night Wrestling goes toe to toe with WWE's Monday Night Raw. Monday Night Wrestling has been the number one rated cable wrestling programme in the United States for 29 of the previous 52 weeks. NWL is seen in 43 countries worldwide. It also has one of the most visited websites on the Internet.

One of the biggest differences in the NWL is the off-season (something not shared by it's competition). The off-season takes place from late May until the first week in September. This allows all wrestlers under contract to the NWL a chance to heal their injuries and spend time with their families. During this off-season, NWL's Monday Night Wrestling undergoes a format change which gives viewers an insight into the training of our athletes, shows the highlights of the previous year, showcases matches from our PPVs and each week, interviews a member of the NWL roster.

The NWL holds 4 Pay Per View events annually, it also produces several TV supercards. The 4 PPVs are held in late October, mid December, early March and late May. The October, December and March PPVs are usually named for their main events or the theme of the PPV and May's PPV is known as the SuperBrawl.

The SuperBrawl is the final event of the NWL's season. Feuds are usually ended at the SuperBrawl, but also the number one contender for the NWL Championship at the begining of the next season is decided at the SuperBrawl. The Champion and number one contender have been known to feud throughout the summer off-season.

Champions:

As of October 2008, Chris Jericho has been the NWL Champion, he retired a legendary superstar in a Retirement Match at October's PPV. Since then he has silenced all of his doubters by beating contender after contender. Jericho is hated by the fans for his cool, icy demeaner and his turn on the fans in early 2008. His most recent victory came at March's PPV when he defeated John Bradshaw Layfield in a steel cage match. The victory nearly caused a riot in Austin, Texas when the hometown hero was illegally handcuffed to the ropes as Jericho strutted out of the cage door. What lies next for Jericho is anyones guess.

At March's PPV, a 4 man tournament was held to crown a new United States Champion. However, due to referee error, the result of the final was disputed and both MVP and Lance Storm where declared co-United States Champions. Surely, a unification match is on the horizon at the SuperBrawl.

The Rockstars (Curt Hawkins and Zack Ryder) are the current NWL Tag Team Champions. They defeated the previous champions, William Regal and Paul Burchill in their first NWL match at the March PPV. These cocky youngsters are highly talented, but will their lack of respect for the veterans of the business get them into trouble?

The last but by no means least NWL champion, is the champion of our women's division, Sarah del Rey. Sarah defeated Katie Lea Burchill at the December PPV to be crowned the first NWL Women's Champion. This was the first time in history when a women's match was the main event of an NWL show. Both women continued their feud until Sarah defeated Katie Lea in a no holds barred match to settle their feud. Who's next for the American Angel?

It was also announced at the March PPV that then NWL had been bought out by a consortium. Will the men (or women) behind the consortium come forward sooner rather than later?

Bounty Hunter

BWA: Bounty Hunter's Wrestling Association

From The Wrestling Observer

RE: BWA takeover

We can finally update you on the takeover of the British Wrestling Association (BWA) by the London based Irish entrepreneur known only by his Internet Sudanum 'Bounty Hunter' and its big news, huge infact. I havent reported on anything this big since Vince McMahon bought out his competition in WCW.

It has been reported that the new BWA is already in talks with networks in America, England and Ireland about showcasing their product on Monday nights and have hinted at interest from a Japanese network also should ratings be good elsewhere.

Along with lofty aspirations of being a global wrestling corporation, the most impressive part of the news leaked so far is a list of Wrestlers already confirmed as joining this new incarnation of the BWA which includes former ROH champion and trainer Bryan Danielson, The Mastadon Big Van Vader, Trish Stratus and The British Bulldogs among others.

we should have more details about this exciting new venture very soon

BWA: 1 Year on

1 Year ago when news of the new BWA was leaked few believed that by now this new organisation would be already rivalling the WWE but that is exactley what has happened especially after recent announcements from the company with regards to their upcoming PPV BWA: Awakening and a big expansion in their current roster including the introduction of Womens and Tag-teams titles to the federation. Combine the fact that starting at the next PPV BWA is going to be shown live and taped in Japan and that starting next week, every monday night from now till the PPV one or two wrestlers newly drafted to the BWA will be announced on Carlito's Cabana to help expand the new title divisions. After the announcement this week tthat argueably the greatest sportsman of all time Muhammad Ali has joined the promotion im sure you are all as eager as me to see who will be announced next.

.Promotional Posters released so far.

There is also expected to be a promotional poster for the japanese audiences produced featuring Vader, Aja, Ali and one yet to debut superstar.

With the news that we are going to see the first ever BWA tag-team champions crowned at the upcoming Awakening PPV you have to wonder are we going to see more tag wrestlers drafted in the upcoming weeks? After this was announced, the Twin Towers (Big Boss man and The One man gang 'Akeem') staked their claim to the gold announcing they plan to be competing for them at the PPV.

With Trish Stratus, Awesome and Aja Kong already drafted to the BWA brand, a womens title belt is argueably long overdue for the company but I wonder will another woman be drafted before the PPV to really add some depth to this divison.

At the BWA's most recent PPV offering the Dynamite Kid became the current Intercontinental champion when he pinned former Steve Corino thanks to interferance from the monster Abyss. Looking forward to Awakening will Corino get a rematch or will someone else step up and challenge the champ.

As you all know due to Injury the heavyweight championship was vacated recentley so along with tag champs and a womans champion, we are guaranteed to have a new BWA Heavyweight champion at Awakening. This PPV will truely be where it all starts again for this company but which two superstars will get the chance to battle it out to lead the BWA into this bright new dawn... we will surely find out soon.

Mr.Nice Guy

A new era

When the buyout of the WWE was completed by MNG Inc. a little under a year ago, Monday nights were to undergo a total transformation. While tradition lives on with the retention of the company name, and while Shane McMahon stays on as a CEO and controversial on-screen GM of Monday Night Grappling, the risque attitude and increased emphasis on pushing the envelope has seen the company enjoy huge support in the 18-30 demographic. Most notably, the attempts of the McMahon heir to keep the WWE Title off of the ever-popular self-proclaimed 'people's champion', The Rock, has proven to be of particular interest.

Title Controversy

The WWE now finds itself without a champion however after the recent Royal Rumble PPV, in which the title was on the line much like it was in 1992, ended in disputed circumstances after the Special Referee appointed for the match - Jake 'The Snake' Roberts - eliminated the final two competitors himself and declared the title to be hereby vacated.

Roberts, who hadn't been seen by fans for many months, was named by Shane McMahon as a surprise special referee for the bout and when it came down to WWE Champion The Big Show versus The Rock in the final two, fans hoped The Rock's long odyssey to win back the belt was about to culminate in victory. However, with both men struggling to put the other over, Roberts charged forward eliminating them both before walking away with the title belt.

Why was Roberts appointed referee for the match? What does this mean for the WWE with the big Wrestlemania PPV only weeks away? And how will the superstars respond?

Return of an icon

Mr. T, not seen in WWE for a long time, comes to Monday Night Grappling next week live from his hometown of Chicago to talk about his plan to visit US troops in Iraq with the WWE later this year.

An angry giant...

The Big Show, who for the past number of months has had the support of Shane McMahon in his battles with The Rock, wants answers from his boss as to why he has been stripped of his belt. Will the angry giant be calmed by what he hears?

Discrimination?

Muhammad Hassan, still smarting over being eliminated by every superstar in the Rumble, has blasted his elimination a disgrace and another example of the WWE's attempts to prevent an Arab-American becoming champion. The angry superstar has vowed revenge. What has he got in store?

All's fair in love and war...

As Crash Holly and Beth's friendship continues to blossom, her fiery boyfriend Santino continues to grow vexed. What will the passionate Italian have to say for himself next week?

Tune in next time to find out!

Jolt2007

Major JWA PPV Draws Near

Next Sunday will see the Jolt Wrestling Alliance hold its Wrestlecade III PPV and in anticipation every day beforehand will see a new tv show recapping the events that took place in the preceding weeks. JWA owner Sexy McHunkiness had this to say: “The idea behind this show is to allow new viewers a chance to catch up before Wrestlecade III, as well as giving our loyal fanbase a chance to get even more hyped up for the event. The show, simply entitled “Wrestlecade III Preview” will run each night from Tuesday, with the first episode airing directly after our weekly show “JWA: Tuesday Night Cooked”, until Saturday, with each episode covering a different feud. The popularity of our company has skyrocketed in recent weeks since the appearances of President Obama so we feel these shows will help our many new viewers catch up with the stories for our matches at Wrestlecade III.”

The promotion was founded by Mr. McHunkiness back in 2003, and the promotion quickly grew a cult fanbase in the local area. That fanbase grew thanks to fortnightly internet shows. The show became such an online hit that local networks became interested and on them they were regularly among the top three most watched programs. In 2006 the promotion was offered a national tv deal and also held their first PPV called Wrestlecade. Buy rates were mediocre but the show was a critical success. Since then the promotion has gone from strength to strength having such stars as The Undertaker, Ted DiBiase, Mike Rotondo, Jushin Liger, The Great Muta, Tito Santana, Virgil, Ultimo Dragon, Dragon Kid, Kevin Von Erich, David Von Erich, Jim Cornette and most recently, Barack Obama and it is now considered one of the “Big 3” promotions in America. Wrestlecade III promises to be an historic event so stay tuned right here for all the build up.

Cactus Col

Global Championship Wrestling

This is the pre-eminent brand in professional wrestling today. Combining the best in technical wrestling with the finest storylines of sports entertainment. GCW broadcasts one television show weekly, and hosts 8 PPV’s monthly.

Over the past several months a war has been brewing between the predominately Canadian Hart Foundation, and the ultra Patriotic American combination of (the US Champion) Kurt Angle and Sgt Slaughter. Prior to last nights PPV it was rumoured a new member would be joining the Patriots, his identity hotly debated.

GCW Lords of Wrestling PPV report:

The PPV started with a title defence by the Hart Foundation 2.0, beating their opponents in a great display of tag team wrestling in which they displayed both their high flying and technical prowess.

This was followed by the semi finals of the World’s Championship tournament which saw Batista and Kevin Nash progress to the final.

The hard drinking Sandman won his hardcore battle with Jim Neidhart, thanks to interference from Sgt. Slaughter. Texan fans delighted when Slaughter appeared from nowhere to knock the Anvil unconscious with a baseball bat.

Was Sandman the member of the Patriots?

Sandman, already battle weary, attacked Slaughter but met with the same fate as The Anvil, with Slaughter throwing sandman over Neidhart to get the 3 count.

GCW US title match

In the penultimate bout Owen Hart took on Kurt Angle in a match for the US Championship. For 30 minutes both fighters threw everything into their fight. Each time one fighter seemed to get the upper hand, his opponent would make a come back. The match ended in a time limit draw and Kurt Angle retained the title, but neither warrior was happy with the result and made it clear they wanted to continue the fight.

GCW World Championship Tournament Final

The World Championship tournament finals were up last. As the fight began the commentators made sure to note that as the Championship was vacant a definitive winner would be necessary so this would be a No DQ match. They also noted that the new member of the patriots had yet to be revealed.

After several minutes of back and forth action Sgt. Slaughter made his way down to the ring, but did nothing interfere, instead choosing to watch the action from ringside. Jack Evans and Teddy Hart then arrived at ringside to a chorus of boos from the American fans. A face off between Sarge and the tag champs, but there was no contact. Suddenly Nash threw Batista to the outside, where he knocked into Hart, Evans immediately launched an attack on Batista but quickly received a Batista bomb from the enraged monster.

This distraction was enough to allow Nash to get the upper hand, whacking Batista with a chair to the head. Nash rolled the dazed monster back into the ring, where he was able to line up a power bomb. Batista kicks out of the first one, but is still too dazed to avoid a second one, and this time Nash pins him for the win.

Sarge picks up the belt and hands it to Nash, raising his hand, and confirming to the cheering fans that the new champ is also the newest member of the patriots.

The Volt

So it's finally happened, the WWE universe has changed ownership. The first act of the new owners was to unify the 3 brands into one again. Deciding to shift a bit more emphasis to development, there would be one weekly flagship show, WWE Volt and an inferior house show for dark matches. Coming to the conclusion that quality is better than quantity, many superstars were deemed surplus to requirements. It is to be seen as to whether or not GM Stephanie McMahon has what it takes to make this bold move work, she has made it known that there will be further recruitments to the show over the coming weeks. Who they are is anybody's guess.



The titles:
WWE Championship
Deciding that the Cena 'spinning' belt was far too tacky, the new owners pushed for the re-introduction of something classier.

As of late, John Cena's reign has been somewhat, easy. As the crowd grow more and more tired of his gimmick, he has changed his image to a more mature, removed character and his care for the fans is well and truly gone. All that's left is a cocky, unchallenged champion. Can anybody stop the untouchable one's reign?

WWE Tag Team Championship


To be tag team champions nowadays, an air of dynamism mixed with relentless team work is needed. One of the issues that WWE Volt addressed first was the promotion of a more interesting Tag Team division. The current champions are The Public Enemy. The Nasty Boys have been their main rivals for the last few months but with the re-emergence of the Right To Censor, how nasty can this tag team title race get?

As more superstars are announced, it is likely that another title will be added.

Here's a background into what's been happening

Having been out suspended, Shelton Benjamin is back better than ever. He spent his time away bulking up the correct way with his newly found mentor, LT Taylor. Recently, Benjamin returned to action in some dark matches. Is the new and improved (and reinforced) Gold Standard destined for the top?
*********************************************************
Stephanie has had to barricade her room weekly a toop stop Kane from entering. Kane has been demanding a shot at Cena but Stephanie told him that losing to men half his size via roll ups doesn't really look great on his CV. The Big Red Machine is out to prove a point. Can he finally be successful in the WWE or will he be forever resigned to midcard mediocrity?
*********************************************************
While the new owners recognise and fully respect the talents of the WWE divas, they are also aware of the pulling power of bra and panties matches. While this outraged Victoria in particular, she has reluctantly agreed to participate in such matches under the condition that if the females on display demonstrate adequate skills, the Womans Title will be contested for on the grandest stage of them all. With women's pride all over the world at stake, can they fend off the hounding from the patriarchal WWE Universe?

Furious-Red

Furious Wrestling Experience

When the wrestling business was struggling to make a massive impact on the world and new federation was making its name touring in venues around the world. What all the other promotions were lacking in this new federation was making up for it with fast paced action from start to finish and wrestling's top talent all under one roof. The new promotion was called........................................Furious Wrestling Experience.

Champions



The current WHC is the ultimate opportunist Edge. Although Edge has been the champ for 6 months he has survived some of the top challengers but who will be the next number 1 contender for the belt?? After what happened at the last ppv EXPERIENCED will jeff look for another shot after edge got himself DQ'd by hitting jeff with a chair and laying him out unconscious



Current champion is the All American American Jack Swagger. Swagger became champ when he defeated Mr Kennedy after Hernandez turned on Kennedy during their match at EXPERIENCED after Hernandez would hit a border toss on Kennedy allowing swagger to capitalize and become a new FWE IC champ. How will Kennedy re-act after losing the title????? or will he get his revenge on Hernandez



Current champs are Lethal Consequences . After beating Kiyoshi/Sheik and Beer Money INC in a triple threat tag team elimination match .

So heres my first post on my new company, the re-energised and revitalised NWA. Theres a history of the company, where it stands right now and a list of rules entitled the NWA charter I’ve gone on WAY longer than I thought with this, so i hope it doesn’t bore anyone. I enjoyed writing it way more than i thought I would!:D



Background History.

For many years following the death of TNA and ROH, fans had become increasingly bored with the stale, repetitive monopoly enjoyed by WWE and Vince McMahon. In the absence of any competetion McMahon became complacent, standards slipped and the paying customers slowly began to turn their televisions off in their thousands. It seemed as if wrestling was slipping into its worst recession in many decades.

It was in response to this disillusionment on the part of die-hard wrestling fans that talks began in the southern states of America to revive an old institutiuon that had long been confined to the history books of professional wrestling. Taking on board the complaints of professional wrestling fans who had long since tired of Sports Entertainment, embarrassing storylines that insulted their intelligence and a seeming disregard for the legacy of the sport, it was decided that the National Wrestling Alliance would be revived in the Southern market, a traditional hotbed of professional wrestling, where fans craved a return to basic professional wrestling.

Conscious of the fact that the NWA name had been tarnished beyond repair in its final years as an active institution, with mediocre champions defending the title on obscure independent shows, the newly-reformed Board of Directors made the inspired move of signing Ricky Steamboat as the star attraction of the fledgling company. Steamboat epitomised everything that this new promotion aimed to embody. Besides his unparralleled skills as an in-ring performer, he had the credibililty of being a former champion who had raised the prestige of the belt in its glory years, he was the type of honourable, wholesome character that was a direct contrast to the sleaze and tastless promotion that was being run up North. Steamboat, himself an outspoken critic of Vince McMahon’s modus operandi immediately bought into the NWA ideal and passionately set about rebuilding its reputation.

With Steamboat as the beloved fan favourite, initial shows ran in local arenas. In its early months the Board focused on buiding a good reputation amongst local wrestling fans, producing a product that provided good value for money, encouraging families to attend by offerering free entrance to children and focusing on traditional professional wrestling, with a distinct face/heel divide and simple, easy to follow storylines. Having secured the goodwill of the local population, running shows in Houston, Dallas and the surrounding cities, gates began to rise steadily as word of mouth began to spread. At the company’s first year Anniversary Show, the Board decreed that the company had garnered a sufficiently positive reputation to name their first Champion in a one-night tournament. After an incredible night’s wrestling, it was Steamboat who stood tall and was named the NWA Heavyweight champion. He would go on to hold the title for a record breaking 24 months, taking on all challengers, carrying the company on his back and slowly building a new legacy for a title that had previously become an afterthought in the world of professional wrestling.

With increased exposure on the back of Steamboats incredible reign, it wasn’t long before a totally disillusioned internet community began to champion the NWA as their great white hope of professional wrestling. As DVDs of shows began to circulate, the online NWA website began to air monthly shows along the lines of Saturday Night’s Main Event on their website again providing staggering value for money to their customers. With this increased revenue at their disposal, more and more talented wrestlers were being lured down South, attracted by the prospect of working without restriction, being allowed to express themselves unhindered by an inept creative team and having an input into their own character development and direction. Basically wrestlers were trusted by the booking committee in a way that they had never been before and safe in the knowledge that the harder they worked, the more they would be pushed, the lockerroom gained a reputation as the hardest working in professional wrestling, where talent, not size or politics decided who was pushed and who was not. Before long, incredibly charismatic workers like Eddy Guerrero became regulars on NWA shows and antagonistic groups like the Fabulous Freebirds, the brainchild of the dastardly Michael Hayes became the most hated group in the NWA. Indeeed another characteristic of the new NWA was the focus on tag team wrestling, a crowd favourite with the Southern fans. The NWA tag team titles became the most sought after tag titles in all of of professional wrestling, with the Rock and Roll Express emerging as the finest and most hard working team in the world. Such was the esteem in which the titles were held that they were regarded every bit as highly as the singles belt and tag title matches would commonly headline the most popular NWA shows.

Having won the hearts of the local community and impressed the ever-fickle internet population, the next obstacle in the way of the NWA was to gain widespread mainstream attention on a national level. The board decided on a two-pronged means of attack. Firstly, they bagan to run shows further beyond their traditional catchment area, even running shows as far north as New York and Philapdelphia. A spectacular feud between Steamboat and the Freebirds that raged for over a year drew the fans in their thousands in these newer territories, culminating in the company’s debut in the Hammerstein Ballroom, where 5,000 rabid fans watched Steamboat successfully defend his NWA title against the awesome heavyweight “Bam Bam” Terry Gordy in a 40 minute war that was lauded by Meltzer as the greatest match on North American soil since the disbandment of ROH. Indeed the feud itself was named as feud of the Year in the company’s fourth year by none other than Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer, himself an avid supporter of the company from its very inception and was credited with winning the company a new loyal fanbase in Philly, Chicago and New York, the traditional West Coast wrestling hotbeds.

Secondly and most importantly the company secured a television deal to initially air in its fledgling market, the Texas area. Central to the success of this deal was the fact that the TV compay, owned by billionaire local legend Ted Turner agreed to cover the cost of producing the show, in return for a percentage stake in the company and its future earnings. This meant that the NWA would avoid the many financial difficulties experienced by similar companies in the past such as ECW, for whom a TV deal spelled the beginning of the end of its very existence. With the emphasis on creating the best possible TV show and without TV executives trying to interfere with the product in any way, the weekly one hour TV was an instant sensation. Delivering hard-hitting, fast paced wrestling and well-booked, compelling storylines, it fast gained a reputation as the finest wrstling show on TV and the TV company had no hesitation in selling the rights into the other newly established markets as well as potential new markets where the company had not even run yet.

It was around this time too that Ricky Steamboat was invited to tour with New Japan Pro Wrestling, the largest and most prestigious company in the Far East. The tour was a massive success, with Steamboat defending his title against all comers in a series of matches that earned critical praise and delighted locals. Having been defended on the world stage, the NWA Title was now declared the NWA World Heavyweight Title, the last step in restoring its once tarnished reputation to that of most coveted and respected of all major wrestling titles. New Japan officials were deeply impressed with the professionalism and manner in which the visiting party handled themselves on the entire trip and negotiations took place whereby a talent exchange system would take place between the companies. With that in mind, fans were delighted by the news that Tiger Mask, widely regarded as the finest Junior wrestler in the world, if not ever would, the following year be making the NWA his semi-permanent home for the foreseeable future. Speculation was also rife that further exciting signings would be made in the coming weeks.



Present Day:

The final step in the evolution of the NWA was to stage regular shows on PPV. In the last few months indeed, the company has been in an advanced stage of negotiations whereby the company will be contracted to the Turner TV Corporation to stage four PPVs a year, starting with the first, NWA Breakout, in the city where it all began, Houston Texas, in six weeks time. The company promises that everyone involved will be going all out to blow the wrestling world away at this monumental, historical occasion. Tickets for this occasion are already like golddust with local operators reporting website crashes and phoneline breakdowns as local fans scramble to be a part of history. A remarkable sellout of the 15,000 seater Ted Turner Arena seems guaranteed even at this early stage.

However as with success in any walk of life there is always a price to pay and the explosion of this organisation has been watched by the ever paranoid powers that be up North, who certainly won’t be happy to have a new competitor on the horizon



THE NWA CHARTER:

In attempt to produce a product that was a true alternative to the at times nonsensically governed companies elsewhere, the NWA charted was produced at the time of the company’s inception. The NWA board prides itself on its accountability and openness. Rules are enforced rigidly and controversial decisions are examined in detail by the Board before being officially passed.


1. The credibility of the NWA World Heavyweight Title and NWA Tag Titles is if of utmost importance. The NWA board takes a dim view of underhand tactics being employed in title matches and is not above fining or suspending thoise who engage in such activities. The titles can change hands by pinfall or submission. However any wrestler seen to have themselves disqualified as a means to retain the belkt cheaply will be stripped of the title and expelled forthwith from the NWA.

2. Secondary Titles. Given that the company is a relatively young organsiation with a roster that is limited in size, the Board feels that it is premature at this stage to introduce a second singles title. However as the company expands and and becomes more established they reserve the right to re-introduce the NWA TV Tile if and when appropriate.

3. Number one contendorship.

3a. NWA World Heavyweight Title: there is no glass ceiling in the NWA. Such is the nature of our promotion and such is the quality of competition employed that everyone is a legitimate challenger for the World title and success in the ring will be rewarded with a title shot, regardles of size, look of wrestling style. With that in mind, we expect the number one contendorship for the title to be hotly contested and defended almost like a title in itself. With that in mind, the Number one contendor will be decided by a ranking system based directly on wins in the ring. The Number One Contendor will be expected to defend his position as the top challenger like it is a title in itself. This makes undercard matches more meaningful as everytime a wrestler steps in the ring they will be affecting their overall standing in the company and challenging the number one contendor as a way of gaining a future title shot for oneself.

3b. NWA Tag Titles. Such is the strength and depth of quality tag teams on the NWA roster that the NWA has decided to put a formal process in place whereby tag teams can gain a shot at the NWA titles. A points system will be put in place whereby a win in a tag match earns a point. Gaining 3 points in a row (ie wining 3 NWA sanctioned tag matches in a row ) entitles a team to a shot at the tag Titles on a future NWA event. However a team that loses a match goes back to zero points and slips to the bottom of the tag ranks again. Again this makes for meaningful undercard matches and establishes a natural heirarchy for the many tag teams on the roster. The points system raises the importance of the Tag titles, make a shot at the title seem much more valuable and helps raise the prestige of the titles to an equal level of that of the World title itself.

4. Gimmick matches. The NWA prefers not to book throwaway gimmick matches for no good reason. Cage matches and no DQ matches will be reseerved for special circumstances where a pair of wrestlers or teams have a particularly serious grudge that cannot be settled in the confines of a normal match. Saving such matches for such outstanding circumstances so to speak makes them all the more special when they do happen and fans do not become blase or numb to their effectiveness.

S.W.L
Slick Wrestling League

The Slick Wrestling League (SWL) is a new and exciting brand of professional wrestling, seeking to entertain with some of the greatest athletes on earth, as well as staying true to the traditions of a wonderful business.

This is a company that merely wants to provide a place where wrestlers can simply do what they love doing: wrestling and entertaining. And as such, those who become a part of this company will know that if they reach the top it is because they are the best at exhibiting the principles that we hold dear.

This has been building and building; to the point where the media spotlight is starting to shine a bit on us. There are two live shows a week broadcast live on TV, on a Monday and a Friday. All wrestlers appear on both shows, with the focus on easy to follow, consistent storylines.

Mike Tyson is even being rumoured to want to lend his name and talents to the League. These are interesting times, and such is the way in which the product is presented, that week on week, your guess is as good as anyones as to what will happen next in the SWL.

The State of Play...




SWL Heavyweight Championship

The current champion is Terry Funk. For months now he has managed to run over all comers. The maniacal, deranged and gifted Funk has not only beaten a trail of talent, he has also left many of them with broken feet and ankles while he's at it. At the last PPV, 3 months ago, he smashed up the foot of Ken Shamrock with a lead pipe in their 1-on-1 title match, completely disregarding the rules and his opponent's well-being, and synching in his Spinning Toe Hold for a full 5 mins before releasing, as the crowd roared their disapproval at the treatment of the popular former MMA fighter. Shamrock hasn't been seen since, with scans afforded to SWL Management at the timeshowing damage that will need 6 months of healing. Funk is feared, despised and respected in equal measure. Sting and Arn Anderson are others who have coveted the belt Funk wears for months, waiting for their opportunity at the crazy son-of-a-bit*h.

World Television Championship

A title which is worn by arguably the greatest pure worker in the company, Tully Blanchard is as smug as he is talented. A cohort of Arn Anderson, Blanchard admits that as long as he wins, everything is ok. The belt is what matters. And when you get a man as technically skilled as he, not afraid to do what it takes, legal or not, you have a champion hard to dislodge. Barry Windham has chased the title for 3 months now. Tully has eeked out some cheap wins, dodged bullets, dodged matches, but you feel things will come to an ultimate head soon. How will Windham get a final chance 1-on-1? Will he even get another shot?

SWL Tag Team Titles

The Briscoes and The Fabulous Rougeaus are the premiere talents in tag team wrestling. The Rougeaus are a smug, brash young team with no regard for the audience they wrestle in front of. They hold the titles right now, but the Briscoes exhibit a dynamic breed of wrestling, not seen before by the Rougeaus. Already they have fought, with the Rougeaus continuing to escape with the belts. The Briscoes want to entertain and win, something the Rougeaus mock and belittle in equal measure. Winning is all that matters for them. Why should they care if the crowd likes them? Will the Briscoes get another shot? How can they earn that shot? Will the wave of support and excitement from the audience help or hinder them?


The SWL Roster also boasts former champion Yokozuna and Austin Aries, along with many new additions still to be named, and many more still to be recruited. Stay tuned to find out whose coming, and what's going to happen as result!

Minto

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the first episode of Monday Night Wrestling to be broadcast in the UK and Ireland via Sky Sports. Over the last few weeks, it has come to the attention of the fans that a consortium has bought 91% of the shares of NWL. Many fans have discussed in internet chat rooms and forums that they believe that tonight the consortium will reveal itself....and they are right!



**Exlpoding pyro as commentators Jim Ross and Bobby Heenan welcome us to the show and announce that the consortium is about to enter the ringside area.

Segment 1: The consortium arrives
The ring announcer announces that the consortium who has purchased the NWL is Minto. Minto comes to the ring to the tune of "I've got the power". He announces the NWL will prosper under his leadership and he has already joined forces with Mattel and EA Sports to produce toys and videogames under the NWL brandnname. He also announces he is close to finalising TV deals in Mexico, Japan and Mainland Europe. Finally, Minto introduces us to the NWL's new commissioner of wrestling, Denny Crane who appears at the entrance ramp to the theme of Boston Legal. Denny tells the NWL Fan Nation to expect the unexpected under his rule.

Segment 2: The British Empire implodes!
The Rockstars (Curt Hawkins and Zack Ryder) enter the arena to defend their newly won tag team championships against the former champions, William Regal and Paul Burchill with Katie Lea, whom they defeated the previous night at the PPv. The Rockstars defeat the British Empire to retain their World Tag Team Championships in a decent back and forth match, although after the match Burchill turns on Regal and beats him until the referees and trainers break it up. During this time, The Rockstars stand at the entrance stage mocking and laughing at William Regal. Will somebody be able to put these punks in their place?

Segment 3: US or Canadian Champion?
MVP enters the ring and says he doesn't do anything by halves and wants to be the sole holder of the US Championship. Lance comes on the tron with a Canadian version of the US Championship and a condescending smile on his face. He goes on to declare himself the Candian Champion and he will retire the US Championship when he defeats MVP at the SuperBrawl.

Segment 4: A little mystery goes a long way!
We come back from commercial and are in the commissioner of wrestling's (CoW's) office, Denny Crane tells Sarah del Rey that he has a mystery opponent lined up for her at the SuperBrawl. All will be revealed in due course.

Segement 5: Can you say squash?
Lance Storm enters the arena with the Canadian championship. In the ring is Chris Hero. Lance grabs a mic and tells Hero he is a typical arrogant American who doesn't respect the great country of Canada and their history of breeding great technical wrestlers. He lists out Canadian wrestlers and gets loads of heat for including Benoit. Storm then promises to make an example of Hero. The match lasts only a few seconds as he superkicks Hero after dropping the mic. He then pins him. After the match MVP runs down the aisle as Lance bails out to the crowd to a chorus of boos.

Segement 6: A very macho return!
Chris Jericho comes to the ring in a suit with the NWL World title over his shoulder. He begins by calling all the fans hypocrites for booing him for what he did to JBL the previous night, yet they paid to see JBL batter and bloody him. They only boo'd because they didn't like the fact Jericho was better than anyone the NWL could throw at him. He has beaten legends and now he has nobody left to beat. Suddenly, the lights go out and come back on with the words "Ohhhhhh yyyyyeeeeeeaaaaaahhhhhh" on the tron. The crowd erupts as the Macho Man's music hits over the PA. Jericho looks on in fear as Randy Savage comes down the ramp and into the ring. Savage tells Jericho that he is one of the most talented wrestles he has ever seen, but Jericho's attitude towards those who came before is sickening to those who wrestled night after night, 290+ days a year to entertain the fans. Savage tells Jericho that he will never be remembered as anything more than a whiner and a moaner. Jericho who has had enough, knocks him out with the mic and proceeds to beat on Savage. Monday Night Wrestling goes off the air with Jericho covered in blood standing over the body of Savage.

Minto and the NWL wish to thank you for tuning into NWL Monday Night Wrestling.

General Manager:

Mr. Shane McMahon

This week's MNG show comes live from Chicago, Illinois.

Introduction:

The show opened with Big Show demanding answers from Shane as to why Special Ref for the recent Rumble match Jake Roberts eliminated both Show and The Rock. Show said people had been asking him if he was still the champion and that he didn't know the answer. He said after everything he had done for Shane in dealing with The Rock in recent months he deserved answers. He said he was a giant and it's a bad idea to piss off a giant. He said if it was true he'd been stripped of his title then Shane and Jake Roberts would be having their asses kicked. He gave Shane to the count of 3 to come out but when he got to 3, The Rock came out to the ring instead to a huge pop. Rock told Big Show if he wanted Shane and Jake he'd have to get in line as he was looking to lay the smackdown on their asses right here in Chicago.

At this point Shane came out joined by Jake Roberts to large boos. Shane told Show he was sick and tired of his efforts to finish off The Rock once and for all. He said his family was all about tradition and having a trash talking big mouth like The Rock as champion would be too much to bear. He said Show couldn't get the job done so he decided to take the title from him. He said he had to turn to a more dangerous animal. Roberts got on the mic and cut a good promo about how his career would be incomplete unless he won the big one. He said Big Show was a toothless champion and that he was sick of hearing The Rock go on about his journey to win the title. Roberts said if Rock had walked in his shoes he would know all about a real journey.

Shane booked a main event later on between The Rock and The Big Show and said the winner of that match would face Jake 'The Snake' for the vacant WWE Championship at Wrestlemania. Shane said Jake deserved his opportunity for doing wrestling fans a great service.

Match #1 Hardcore Holly b. Santino

Holly won clean with the Alabama Slam. He grabbed the mic and said he and his cousin wanted the tag belts at Mania. Santino got upset at Beth and grabbed her arm. Crash ran down and pushed Santino. Beth slapped the pair of them and then left. Crowd popped for that.

A tribute to the troops video package featuring Mr T talking about his involvement with the tribute to the troops was shown.

Mr T came out to the ring to a big pop. He said it was good to be here in his hometown of Chicago and that he was happy to work with WWE for the troops. He talked about how proud he was to be an American. At this point Muhammad Hassan interrupted. He said he could no longer sit back and listen to Mr T spout such lies about America. He said America was all about greed and racism, and that it was an injustice that he was not considered for the WWE title match at Wrestlemania, despite being undefeated. Mr T said he'd heard what Hassan had been saying about America and that maybe it was time someone shut him up. They had a face-off. Crowd popped for this. Hassan backed off and said he had no problem with T. He extended his hand. As T went to shake it, he spat in his face and gave him a low blow. He then grabbed a chair and hit him with some shots. Hassan said the WWE would feel his vengeance. There was great heat for this segment.

Santino was backstage with Beth. He apologised for grabbing her. He said he didn't like Beth's friendship with Crash. He said he didn't understand why Beth was wasting her time with a short annoying little man and that he hates guys like that. Santino said it was high time someone opened a can of the ass whip on him. Beth said she was sick of Santino's behaviour and said to leave Crash alone. She said she was going out to join Crash later for his next match and to cheer him on as a friend. Santino looked on angrily.

Big Show walked in to The Rock's locker room and the two had a staredown. Show said he had made poor choices in the past by trusting Shane and that after tonight his issues with The Rock would be put on hold - for now. Show said even though it seemed they now had common enemies that he would still have to take out The Rock to get back his WWE Title. Show left as Rock looked on.

Match # 2 Crash Holly b. Rosey

Santino came out with chocolates and and tried to give them to Beth. She refused them. He then pulled a necklace from his boot and tried to give it to her and again she refused it. He then pulled a rose painfully from his tights and tried to give this to her and again she refused. Crash came out of the ring and shoved Santino. He told him to go away. Santino grabbed one of the tag belts and with the ref distracted went to hit Crash but nailed Rosey instead. Crash hit a jump-swinging DDT for the pin as Santino pounded the mat in frustration.

A video package for Jake Roberts was shown. It focused on his career and personal struggles and Roberts emphasised how he needed to win the title to conclude his story.

The Rock cut a pre-match interview. He said tonight was one of the biggest nights of his career. He said that he agreed with Big Show that the two now had a common enemy and after tonight their issues would be on hold for the time being, but he said Show was mistaken if he thought Rock would lose. Rock said he would whoop Big Show's ass and then turn his attentions towards Roberts and Shane. Rock said the only conclusion to Roberts' story would involve him getting his monkey ass whooped by The Great One. He said it's ironic Roberts calls himself Jake 'The Snake' when from what he'd heard it was more like 'Jake 'The Worm'. The crowd started chanting 'Jake The Worm' as The Rock smiled. Rock said he and Shane can have fun touching snakes but Rock will have his fun whooping their candy asses - 'if ya smellll what The Rock is cooking'.

Match # 3, (Number One Contender's match) The Rock b. Big Show

This was a good back-and-forth main event. Shane and Jake 'The Snake' watched from ringside as the crowd was solidly behind The Rock. The finish saw Rock slip out of Big Show's chokeslam and hit The Rock Bottom followed by The People's Elbow for the clean win. After the match Rock and big Show shook hands and went outside to beat up Shane and Jake. Suddenly a big man wearing a pulled-down cap jumped the rails and attacked Rock and Show. He pulled it off and it was revealed to be Bam Bam Bigelow. Shane told Bigelow to go up top and he hit a bis splash on Big Show. Jake then went under the ring and pulled out a bag with Damien in it. He draped the snake over The Rock. The show closed with Shane, Bam Bam and Jake 'The Snake' soaking up the crowd's boos.

Next Time...

- Wrestlemania's main event has now been confirmed as The Rock vs Jake 'The Snake' for the vacant WWE Title but how will The Great One respond to being assaulted by Jake and having the snake Damien hurled on top of him?

- Shane and Big Show's partnership has been well and truly ended. With the shocking debut of Bam Bigelow, how will Big Show react to being assaulted?

- Muhammad Hassan laid out Mr. T. Is there anyone that can stop him?

- And how will the love triangle with Beth, Crash and Santino play out?

Tune in next time to Monday Night Grappling. WE JUST BRING IT!

(Carlito's Cabana)
Carlito interviews the new BWA's newest draftee...Muhammad Ali
...........

Carlito asks Muhammad Ali about why he has joined the BWA which leads to Ali using some of his best one liners to explain his ambitions. He states that he was topped polls and won awards worldwide as the greatest ever sportsman, but he has only ever competed in boxing which he describes as 'a lot of white men watching two black men beat each other up'. He then states 'I am the greatest, I said that even before I knew I was' and these people have said im the greatest of all sportsmen before they even know its true, but they needent worry cos he is here to prove them right!. He admits its a new sport to him but says 'He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life' and that he has been training long and hard in aticipation of this 'I hated every minute of training, but I said, "Don't quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion." his relative lack of experience hasnt changed the mans cocky nature though as he began to finish his statement by talking himself up as only he can, 'It's hard to be humble, when you're as great as I am' he said and was going to go on but..


Carlito apologises for interupting Ali but says he has just been informed by the Chairman (Bounty Hunter) in his earpiece that he is to introduce the newest member of the BWA roster who is supposidly about to make his way to the ring right now...Bruno Sammartino!


Bruno Sammartino keeps it short and to the point, he states that he is here to lead the BWA into a bright new era and if an ametuer like Ali or anyone else wants to get in his way he will see them in 5 weeks at BWA: Awakening.

He then proceeds to pull from beneath the ring many of his favourite toys, like tumbtacks and shards of glass which he spreads all around the floor around the announce table all the time ignoring the referees count.

Full Tilt Wrestling

Presenting - FTW: Full Tilt Wrestling. A company where anything goes. A company where extreme MEANS extreme. A company with some of the most violent, bloody and intense matches you will see anywhere. A company where Sex, Drugs and Rock and Roll are not only encouraged, but are made a pre-requite. PG-13? Forget about it. FTW is the most vicious, hardcore two hours of television going. FTW doesn't just push the envelope - it sends it straight to hell.

FTW began almost a year ago - when a small but highly creative group of writers from a massive worldwide wrestling organization, who had began to grow disillusioned with the direction their company were taking, decided to form a break-away wrestling company. Tired of having innovative, edgy ideas rejected in favour of stale, kid-friendly angles the 8 strong group, led by a so far unknown person, formed FTW - an organization where their ideas could be expressed without having to have to run them through anybody else. On May 25th 2008 an event known as Hell On Earth - featuring the stars of FTW was held. It was an event that grabbed the wrestling world by the throat, and shook it to its foundations - it signalled the birth of Full Tilt Wrestling.

FTW weekly programme Implosion runs every Monday night, one hour after the aforementioned bigger company's weekly programme, War begins. FTW has grown a cult following, and has gradually been chipping away at War's ratings advantage over Implosion during the one hour head to head. It is highly anticipated by the top brass at FTW, that they will overtake the competition in the ratings battle after Hell On Earth II later on this month.

FTW World Heavyweight Championship

Mick Foley has held the FTW world title for almost a year, defeating RVD at the inaugural Hell On Earth in a last man standing match - and is to date, the only man to have ever held the title. Foley has fended off all comers, in a variety of different matches. At last night's PPV, he defeated RVD in a ladder match, with thanks to help from his cronies, The New Age Outlaws. A stipulition from that match being that if RVD was unsucessful, he could NEVER get another FTW title shot against Foley.

FTW Television Championship

This title is currently being held by Tazz, after he defeated Stevie Richards at the December PPV. Tazz is engeged in a best 3 out of 5 series with Stan Hansen for the title, with the score currently tied at two falls to one in favour of Hansen - with the potential decider to be contested at Hell On Earth II.

FTW Tag Team Championship

The mysterious team of Raven and Sean O'Haire have become a thorn in the side of the brash, cocky New Age Outlaws, and defeated the Outlaws for the FTW tag titles at the February PPV. The Outlaws, along with Foley, have made the last few months miserable for the tag champs.

On the next edition of Implosion: What will RVD's responce to his defeat at the hands of Mick Foley at last night's PPV be? Tazz and Stan Hansen compete in in their fourth bout out of five for the television championship. More bouts to be announced.

Also, Arnold Schwarzenegger comes to FTW to promote his new flick 'The Governator' - where he plays the role of a Californian governor by day, but by night, he tackles mob culture and other such social evils in the form of a futurestic looking cyborg from the year 2029. Loosely based on a true story.

The Volt

It gives me great pleasure to give to you the first episode of WWE's Monday Night Volt. Tonight's show comes to you live from Toronto, Ontario. A sell out crowd of 19,000 have arrived to see what should be a fascinating evening.

As the opening theme of Show Me How To Live by Audioslave rings out, fireworks and pyrotechnics grace the arena with a fantastic display. The arena has a new look with a black and gold titantron, giving the place an electric look to it, the ring has also been given a makeover. As the display ends, a sense of gold continuity is felt by the crowd as Shelton Benjamin enters, accompanied by L.T. Taylor. Shelton declares himself 'back and bettter than ever'. As he goes off on a tangeant about his destiny, he is brought to an abrupt halt by the startling scene that is Kane. Still buoyed by the insult by Stephanie (that losing to men half his size via roll ups doesn't really look great on his CV) he is sporting that old black rag above his head and looks as concentrated as ever. With two mid-carders out to prove a point, the opener is going to be quite a contest.

Match 1
Shelton gained an advantage over Kane by avoiding a big boot, the Big Red Machine's leg got caught in the ropes and benjamin delivered a technically perfect neckbreaker. Kane eventually managed to escape from a figure four leg lock aand begun to clean house slightly, with LT watching at ringside. The match was done when Kane got caught hanging on the turnbuckle too long, Benjamin rose up and nailed a Paydirt on him in spectacular fashion. LT Taylor managed to hold Kane back from hitting a flying clothesline just long enough but did get a shiner for his troubles. As Benjamin celebrated his win at the titantron, Kane blew a fuse, assaulting 3 cameramen on his way out.

Backstage, an expressionless Bull Buchanan is being interviewed by Michael Cole. Bull, dressed in his old RTC gear stated that the reason they never achieved full censorship in the past was because of past leaders. In the upcoming weeks, he aims to display how brute force will change the nature of the WWE forever.

Match 2
Candice Michelle takes on Victoria with WWE directors at ringside. They will determine whether or not the divas deserve to wrestle for a championship on the grandest stage of them all. Just before the match is due to start, Lillian Garcia announces (with some disbelief) that this match will now be a lingerie pillowfight. The women strip to their bra and panties and each take a pillow that has been assigned to them. Before Victoria can get to hers, candice charges for her and connects with a modified lou thesz press full of bitch slaps. Victoria eventually gains the upper hand as she cracks Candice in the skull with her pillow (which seemed a little heavy). Even though she seemed to be out cold, Victoria, desparate to send a message to the onlooking directors, nails the widows peak before the 3-count.

After her hand is raised in victory, she blows a kiss at the directors and heads back up the ramp.

Match 3
Tonight's main event is an enthralling brawl between two fantastic tag teams. Rocco Rock and Johnny Grunge, The Nasty Boys make their way to the ring. With Wrestlemania approaching, they look determined to go into the grandest stage of them all with the tag team gold around their waists. Facing them are the current champions, The Public Enemy.

Quite evenly matched, the evening takes a turn for the worse John Cena arrives to the ring. He levels all four superstars with equally powerful chairshots. The match is declared a no-contest.

In the ring, he parades himself as the 'untouchable one', declaring that he will retire the current WWE Championship after Wrestlemania due to the fact that he is in a league of his own. He laughs at this 'excuse for a main event'. Suddenly, GM Stephanie McMahon's music plays. She tells Cena that he is right to state that he has been in a league of his own for the last while but it was her job to restore some dignity to the WWE Title. She declared that Cena would indeed have an opponent for Wrestlemania and that he would need no introduction. Cena replied by saying that no superstar could come close to him, to which Stephanie calmly stated; He's not a Superstar, he's a LEGEND.

With that, Harley Race's iconic music hits the arena, the crowd go wild as he heads for the ring, charging at Cena. Cena flees but is thrown back into the ring by means of The Nasty Boys. Race hits Cena with a Cradle Suplex and raises his hand. The show draws to a close with JR shouting 'CENA'S WORLD HAS JUST BEEN ROCKED!!'

I hope you all enjoyed this weeks edition of Volt, tune in again =]

Pro Wrestling Combat

Roster:
Steve Austin
Brian Pillman
Kenta Kobashi
Yuji Nagata
Hiroshi Tanahashi
Magnum TA
Brad Armstrong
Tyler Black
Jimmy Jacobs
Gail Kim
Molly Holly
Frank Shamrock
Lance Cade
Trevor Murdoch
Santo
Takeshi Morishima

Pro Wrestling Combat (PWC) was formed in an attempt to create a truly universal brand of pro wrestling for a global audience. In the beginning, events alternated between the US, Japan and Mexico. The respective national stars of these three countries, Steve Austin, Kenta Kobashi and Santo, would only wrestle in their own country twice a year in a headline spot, guaranteeing massive attendances for six shows each year

PWC succeeded in getting these shows broadcast on MTV, initially only in the countries where the events were held, but gradually spreading to more international syndicates as the people demanded their chance to view what had already taken three nations by storm. As this worldwide interest became apparent, PWC decided to take their show on the road in a year long experiment, culminating in their biggest show yet, a worldwide PPV entitled "The Finale". The location of the PPV was to be decided by a tournament featuring one wrestler from every country visited by PWC in the run up to the event

Santo took a leave of absence at the start of the global tour in order to appear in his first fully international film, "Santo vs the Possessed Aliens". Filming for the project was delayed several times and it was unknown if Santo would be able to make the journey out to join PWC for any of the tour

There have been two titles in PWC since its inception. Those titles are the PWC World Title and the PWC World Tag Team Titles. The current world champion is Hiroshi Tanahashi and the current tag team champions are to be revealed later because I haven't picked one of them yet :pac: (Just for reference's sake, I'm taking the current time to be May and the PPV to be in June)

Morishima won the world title from Austin a year and a half ago and dominated the main event, decimating all challengers until finally being derailed by Tanahashi six months ago

Tanahashi had been a big fan favourite and the roof blew off Budokan Hall when he pinned Morishima's shoulders to the mat for the three count. But since winning the title he has started to act disrespectful towards his opponents, something that the fans haven't appreciated. His youthful confidence has turned into a growing cockiness and this has attracted the attention of Kobashi, a man whose legacy is built on honour. Kobashi had not been performing to his best and was told that if he wanted a shot against Tanahashi then he had to put a streak of wins together. Kobashi rose to the challenge and has now emerged as the number one contender for the world title. The fight for the belt is set for The Finale and Kobashi has stated that he isn't just out to win the title for himself, he's also seeking justice for all the fans who feel like Tanahashi turned his back on them once he achieved glory

After losing the world title 18 months ago, Steve Austin shifted his focus in a different direction. He reached out to former tag partner and best friend Brian Pillman, who was stuck in a rut in a large American promotion. Austin wanted to have some fun again, raise hell and give a helping hand to a friend. Pillman signed with PWC and reformed the Hollywood Blondes with Austin. The duo had a very successful run at the top of the tag division, holding the titles for most of last year

Austin and Pillman lost the tag titles three months ago and on the next televised show, during an interview with the partners discussing what went wrong for them in the match, Pillman began to blame Austin for the loss and accused him of holding him back and piggybacking off of his popularity to reinvent himself in the tag division. This didn't sit well with Austin, but before he got a chance to say his piece Pillman viciously attacked him and left him laying on the interview set. This has led to a series of matches between the two that I will detail later

Since losing the world title Morishima has joined forces with Cade and Murdoch, who he has previous history with, having trained with Harley Race, the man who trained Murdoch. The trio have given each other a helping hand when needed, often competing in six-man tags together. The group have worked well together, three bullies overpowering their opponents

There has not been any womens division in PWC up to this point, but after vocal online support for such a thing management has decided to take the steps in giving the fans what they want. They contacted two of the most well respected female wrestlers around, Gail Kim and Molly Holly, and offered them a spot on The Finale to showcase just what they can do, with the provision that if their match is deemed a success then PWC will add a full-time womens division complete with world title. Both women jumped at the opportunity and that match is set for The Finale

A year ago PWC completed the signing of Yuji Nagata, who had taken a hiatus from pro wrestling in order to forge an MMA career. A talented amateur wrestler, representing Japan at international level (his brother also won an Olympic silver medal in the sport), Nagata's previous forays into MMA were less than successful, getting knocked out early twice by Fedor Emelianenko and Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipovic, both considered to arguably the greatest fighters in the world at the time that he fought them (that sentence is all true by the way, just in case anyone unfamilar with this thinks I'm making this up as well :pac:)

Nagata had decided to put all his effort into MMA and with his wrestling base he managed to attain a commendable win-loss record, headlining some events in Japan and winning an openweight grand prix. His hunger for pro wrestling never went away though, and when he saw what PWC was accomplishing he made the move back to where he had achieved his most success. He has helped to attract new fans to the promotion through his fame in MMA, with his most high-profile feud being with Magnum TA

I will go into further detail into the background to the matches at The Finale in future posts, as well as focusing on the members of my roster who I haven't talked about yet

FWE MAYHEM
9pm: FWE Mayhem begins as the pyro and Ram It Home by We Are Scientists comes blasting out of the PA system, in the sold out O2 Arena Dublin. We are welcomed to the first instalment of FWE Mayhem a weekly show full of wrestling action.
Segment 1: We are all ready for the premiere edition of The Cutting Edge. “You Think You Me” blares around the Arena as the World Heavyweight Champion walks down the ramp to a chorus of boo’s. Edge welcomes all the fans to the top talk show and talks how he walked into EXPERIENCED the Champ and walked out as the champ (which would lead to a Hardy Hardy Hardy chant breaking out in the arena) . Edge would say it doesn’t matter how much they chant his name he wont be coming out since he is not the guest of honour on the show . This would lead edge to give people a clue who his guest is she was married to a rock star , starred in a personal movie and was the star of the biggest tv show in the 90’s..................................... Ladies and Gentlemen please welcome Ms........Pamela........Anderson. So Hott by Kid Rock would start playing as she walked down to the ring and hung Edge. Edge asked her how it felt to be in the FWE an she said it was a honour but what was even more of an honour was that she has entered and new relationship with a former multiple World Champ and a current World Champ and will be in his corner for all his matches. This would lead to both Edge and Pamela kissing. Edge would say he as a boost of energy and decides to have a open challenge for any member of the current FWE roster........................”Ohhhhhhhh Yeahhhhhhhhhhh” out comes the new FWE tag champs and it looks like Creed is going to take up the challenge.

Match 1: Edge w/Pamela Anderson Vs Creed w/Jay Lethal (Non Title Match)
Quick paced match with Creed getting most of the offense earlier in the match until Pamela would distract Creed as he was on the top turnbuckle allowing Edge to capitalise and hit him with a back drop off the turnbuckle. [Cut to commercial break]
[Back from Commercial Break] Edge has Creed in a sleeper hold. Creed tries to get out of it until edge counters with a sit down neck breaker and getting a close 3 count but creed would raise his arm. Edge picks him up and slams him down and heads for the turnbuckle and jumps off but Creed would raise his knee and edge would slam into the knees. The ref starts the count with both me getting up at 5. Creed would get the offense for the next few mins with a lot of aerial moves catching edge of guard. Just as it looked like Creed was gonna hit the Creed DDT Pamela would get up on the apron to cause interference but the ref would decide to remove her from ringside but she would not go without a fight so Lethal picked her up and brought her to the back. During this time Edge would hit a low blow (while the ref was dealing with Pamela) and a spear for the 3 count. As Edge was celebrating Jeff Hardys music hit and Jeff ran down to the ring and attacked Edge. Jeff would spear edge and continue to hit edge until edge would escape running up the ramp . Jeff would raise the WHC title above his head as the crowd chanted Hardys name. [Commercial Break]
[Back from Commercial Break] a Re-cap of what went down just before the break is shown.
It is announced the Main Event would be the new IC champ teaming up with Hernandez to take on the former IC champ and a partner of his choosing , but if he doesn’t have a partner it becomes a 2 vs 1 handicap match.

Match 2: Number 1 Contenders match for the FWE Tag Team Titles
Beer Money Vs Kiyoshi/Sheik
Music hits outcomes Beer Money and then followed by Kiyoshi/Sheik
Match starts with Storm vs Kiyoshi. Top tag team match as both teams proved why they deserved to be the tag champs , lot of tags made between both teams and very close finishes. At the end of the day Beer Moneys experience would come into play as they would take advantage of a dispute between the other team . While Sheik was thrown out of the ring it would lead to a 2 on 1 match with Kiyoshi as he would battle both Storm and Roode but soon after Kiyoshi would be caught with a DWI for the 3 count.
After the match there was a verbal assault between Kiyoshi and Sheik , while Beer Money celebrated up the ramp. Seconds later a Montage was shown saying there would be a new Tag Team coming soon to FWE with a difference. All 4 men working wondering who it could be.
Montage of what happened at EXPERIENCED (Song = Devour by Shinedown)
Up next the Main Event as we see Kennedy looking around the back for a partner until he see’s a door a smiles and walks in but who will it be or will they accept the offer, Find out after the break
[Commercial Break]
[Back from Commercial Break]
Swagger enters the arena with his new IC belt to a chorus of boo’s as the cocky champ walks to the ring. Out next to a more Boo’s is Hernandez as he shakes hands with Swagger in the middle of the ring. “Mr.Kennnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnedy” and out comes Kennedy who looks worried that he might be going into this match on his own. His music dies down and Kennedy is just looking at the entrance for a few seconds until.............................................................................Jeff Hardys music hits to a standing ovation from the crowd in Dublin. Outcomes the Enigma as he walks down the ramp and enters the ring with Kennedy. Both Hernandez and Swagger are shocked to see Hardy as Kennedys partner.
Match starts with Kennedy vs Swagger both men show off their technical skills for the opening moments of the match until Hernandez/Swagger would double team Kennedy until Hardy would make the save and help kennedy, both men would clean house [commercial break]
[Back from Commercial Break]
Hernandez is in control of Hardy(shows when hardy would miss a whisper in the wind and Hernandez capitalized) with loads of power moves which were weakening hardy. Lots of tags between Swagger and Hernandez . Swagger would try hit a powerslam but Hardy would counter it into a swinging DDT which would lay out Swagger. Both men are down as they try to make the crucial tag Swagger tagged in Hernandez and seconds later Hardy tagged in Kennedy. Kennedy flew into the ring by taking down Hernandez with clothes lines and dropkicks and would get a few shots at Swagger. Kennedy would be in control of Hernandez and went for a Mic Check but was broken by Swagger this allowed to Hernandez to hit a powerbomb. Jeff jumped in and took control over swagger by hitting with a twist of fate. Jeff went for a Swanton bomb but Hernandez attacked him and tried to hit a border toss out of the ring but Kennedy puller Jeff of Hernandez’s shoulders and both men clotheslined him over the rope. This was followed by a mic check on Swagger followed by a swanton bomb but jeff wasn’t the legal man so he hit a crossbody over the rope onto Hernandez and Kennedy would make the 1-2-3 for the win.
After the match Edge would come out of nowhere and spear Hardy as Kennedy had his back turned. Once kennedy turned around edge ran out of the ring. Just as Edge was about to the back the Arena went black , until the words “Open Your Eyes.....The Captain is Coming” and then the lights came back on with everyone scratching their heads as Mayhem went off the air.
Who is this Captain that is coming to the FWE? Will we find out next week?What will happen with Jeff and Edge with both men wanting to be the WHC? And who is this new Team coming to FWE?
To find out the answers to these questions tune into next weeks Mayhem.

NWA Breakout Aftermath:



The following is an emergency press release from our website NWA.com following the shocking events of our historic first PPV NWA breakout.



New Champion!



Ladies and gentlemen, history has been made as the record breaking, two year World Title reign of Ricky Steamboat has finally ended. After a sensational Iron Man Match that had fans in the Ted Turner Arena on their edge of their seats, it was Eddie Guerrero who emerged the victor by a single pinfall to none. The internet is abuzz with hype after this unbelievable hour’s action that has had fans the world over raving about the display of technical wrestling put on by Guerrero and Steamboat. Dave Meltzer is already lauding the match as “every bit as good as anything Kobashi et al in AJPW produced in the 90’s and comparable to Steamboats finest work with Flair.”



Controversial aftermath



Regrettably, however it was not this historic occasion that was on the minds of the 15,000 fans that were in attendance as they left the arena last night, but rather the regrettable events that followed.



Having lead a rather chequered career to this point in the NWA, Eddy Guerrero gained the respect of fans across the world through his unbelievable performance last night. The massive roar that greeted his win, was nothing to the ovation he received as he and Steamboat embraced in the ring after the match, spent from their superhuman exertions of the previous hour. The dignified Steamboat, realising he had been beaten by the better man, raised the hand of the Latino Superstar in victory and knelt before him, placing the coveted title he had worked so hard to elevate around the waist of his rival. Grabbing the microphone Guerrero paid tribute to Steamboat, praising his hard work in putting NWA on the map, his magnanimity in defeat and offering a rematch any time he choose to do so. He then held the belt aloft to the 15,000 fans in attendance, telling them this was their title as much as his, that winning the title in his home state was the pinnacle of his caeer and pledging to uphold the dignity and heritage of the belt to the best of his ability and further the astonishing legacy that Steamboat had begun. With this the locker-room emptied and carried Guerrero aloft from the ring. It seemed like the perfect moment, the beginning of a new chapter in NWA history and a touching way to close out the company’s hugely successful first PPV. That is, until the night was tarnished forever….



With Steamboat alone, exhausted in the ring, it was now time for the NWA faithful to show their adoration for their fallen hero. A massive chant of “Thank You Ricky” echoed around the Turner arena as Steamboat rose to his feet, tears in his eyes and prepared to leave the ring. Although bitterly disappointed by his defeat, this night, the night that the company he built from nothing with his own blood, sweat and tears finally announced its arrival on the world stage with its first PPV, would be a night he would never forget. The building was plunged into chaos, however, as the lights suddenly went out and the arena was plunged into darkness. Confusion reigned both in the stands and backstage. A few moments later, the lights were turned back on again and the arena was reduced to a shocked silence. Lying unconscious in the ring with a pool of blood flowing from his head was Steamboat, with a sledge hammer lying beside him. On the big screens dotted around the ring were the words “THE GAME IS UP FOR NWA.”



Speculation is rife as to the possible perpetrators of this attack. Who would possibly want to ruin the NWA’s finest hour on PPV? How badly injured is Ricky Steamboat? The fall-out is sure to be huge as we return to TV on Tuesday night, when the Board of Directors will address the fans and attempt to get to the bottom of this atrocity.



Also on next weeks show



- An interview with new champion Eddy Guerrero

- The in-ring debut of some more imports from New Japan

- Will the Fabulous Freebirds finally announce the identity of their much vaunted third member?

- Who is next in line to challenge the new champion?

- Tag team champions Rock n Roll Express will be in action

- NWA officials will have more details of some very interesting talent negotiations. You’ll never guess whose coming next, but the only way to find out is to tune in at 9Pm on Tuesday night!

Welcome To Episode 1 Of “Wrestlecade III Preview”

This is the show where in each episode we'll show you the history behind each match that will take place at the biggest show of the year, Wrestlecade III.

We start with the episode of JWA: Tuesday Night Cooked following the Rise To Glory PPV. Former 2 time JWA World Heavyweight Champion and 1 time JWA Tag Team Champion "The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase hits the ring.



Ted talks about how lucky David and Kevin Von Erich were to become JWA Tag Team Champions by beating himself and IRS at Rise To Glory but now that IRS has entered the tournament to crown the first JWA US-TV Champion that has just been announced he wont be going after the Tag Titles again just yet. Instead of also entering the tournament himself, Ted states he has much bigger plans and to carry them out he has hired someone back...



"All of you people here tonight are very poor and getting even more poor with each day. I can tell by just looking at you all you're struggling to buy food and feed your families. I, on the other hand, remain unaffected. In fact, I have more money than ever and being the kind man I am I'm going to offer someone every week a much needed lifeline. If you can last just 1 minute in the ring with my bodyguard here without getting thrown out, I'll clear all your debts. If you fail, however, I get control over everything you own. A generous proposal I'm sure you'll agree"

For three weeks Ted holds his challenge and each time just before the minute is up he either distracts the participants or tampers with the timer to ensure they fail. After the third person fails someone walks out approaching the ring. It's...



Barack Obama tells Ted that the way he's exploiting the American people in a time of crisis is immoral and he wont stand for it. Barack tells Ted he'll take part in his challenge but if he wins Ted has to stop his challenges. If he looses he wont stand in his way any longer. Barack gets thrown out at exactly 1 minute, meaning Ted has to stop.

The following week Ted comes out claiming that the clock was wrong and Barack didn't last for 1 minute so he lost. Out comes the president again and he says he had a feeling Ted would say that so he had a word with GM Jim Cornette and this will be settled at Wrestlecade in the ring, one on one, no over the top rope stipulation, no time limit, the way things should be settled. "Ok then, me against you at Wrestlecade, I..." "Oh no, it wont be me in there against you. I'm no fool" replies Barack, walking away. "Then who?" "Look behind you." Ted looks around, seeing the debuting



who beats up Ted and Virgil, giving the latter a chokeslam and Ted a tombstone.

The next week is a squash match between The Undertaker and Virgil. One sided except for a small portion in the middle where Virgil got in a few moves The Undertaker gets the win after a tombstone.

In the final Cooked before Wrestlecade III there's a tag match between The Undertaker and Obama v Ted and Virgil. It starts with Barack and Virgil in the ring with the president and 'taker getting the upper hand until The Million Dollar Man gets tagged in. Barack then gets isolated and badly beaten, unable to make the tag. A helpless Undertaker can do nothing but watch the beatdown. Refusing to go for the pin, Ted instead continually punishes Barack until the Deadman can take no more. The match breaks down into a brawl with many officials needed to break them up. On Sunday it's The Undertaker w/Barack Obama v Ted DiBiase w/Virgil. Who will ne victorious? Order Wrestlecade III to find out!

FWE MAHYHEM
Episode 2

Video package of last weeks episode is aired as we go live to the sold out O2 arena in Dublin. Pyro goes off and Mayhem theme song hits the arena. We are welcomed back to FWE and things will kick off with a bang as Kiyoshi and Sheik have challenged the new FWE team to a match tonight , Also a number 1 contenders match for the IC as Hernandez will go up against his former friend Mr . Kennedy and the Main Event will be a non title match between Jeff Hardy and the World Heavyweight Champion Edge , with the winner choosing the type of match for the next ppv at Lethal Defiance in 2 weeks time.

Opening Match
Jay Lethal w/Creed vs James Storm w/Robert Roode
Solid back and forth match with both men representing there teams before the Tag Title Match in 3 weeks at Lethal Defiance. Lethal had the match won until Roode would get up on the apron but Creed would get him down and both men started to brawl , as this was happening Storm would take the padding off the top turnbuckle. Lethal would try and hit a running splash but Storm would move out off the way sending Lethal into the exposed turnbuckle and as he turned around storm would hit the superkick for the 3 count.Looks like the challengers have the champs number with this win.

Backstage Segment
Edge is shown walking up and down the hall with Pamela screaming " why do i need to face Jeff again since i beat him at EXPERIENCED and whats worse is if he wins he can choose the type of match" Pamela said " to calm down and she has a plan as she walks away from Edge.

Commercial Break

Match 2
Sheik & Kiyoshi are in the ring and want this new team to get out to the ring now. Moments later Taylor Wilde and O.D.B came rushing out from the curtain and ran to the ring as they starred down there opponents . Sheik started to laugh and said they knew it would be a womens team coming to FWE and had back up. Sheik told them they werent the only womens team to debut in FWE....................Outcomes Mickie James and Melina . Sheik said " He did say he would challenge the new team but he didnt say they would be facing them" So now it looks like its gonna be Wilde/ODB vs Melina/James. This match really showed off the talent and skills of all 4 women in the end Melina would get the pin on Wilde after hitting her with the California Dream for the 3 count. After the match it was a 4 on 2 assault until as it looked like Sheik was going to hit ODB with a chair Kiyoshi took the chair off him and hit him with the Lighting Flash as both Mickie and Melina looked shocked until they ran back down the ramp. Kiyoshi would help ODB and Taylor to there feet as Melina/Mickie and Sheik looked on from the ramp. Im guessing this means that the tag team of Sheik and Kiyoshi is over.

Commerical Break

Back From Commercial Break

Backstage Segment
Sheik/Melina/Mickie are shown walking backstage not amused with has just happened , so sheik demands a match with Kiyoshi .Sheik screams "You Dont Mess With The Middle Eastern Nightmare"

MNo:1 Contender for the Intercontinental Title
This match was a personal one because Hernandez cost Mr.Kennedy the IC at EXPERIENCED. Kennedy went straight for Hernandez the minute the bell rang. Both men tried finish off their opponent with there finishers but neither man could but the other away. In the closing minutes of the match both men were battling it out for a pin or a submission the current IC champ Jack Swagger would hit the ring a hit both Kennedy and Hernandez with the belt causing a double DQ. But the champ didnt stay long as he ran to the back straight away. As Swagger got to the back he ran into the GM of FWE Furious Red he said he had a announcement regarding the next ppv "Lethal Defiance" . Since the IC No:1 Contenders match was disrupted he said that unfortunately neither contenders would face Swagger 1 on 1 at the ppv (much to Swaggers delight)..........But instead of giving Swagger the night off at the ppv he would now defend the title in a Triple Threat against both Hernandez and Kennedy. Swagger would plead with the GM to change but he kept his decision

Up Next Jeff Hardy vs Edge

New Match announced for next week
**Kiyoshi vs Sheik**

Main Event
Edge(c) w/Pamela vs Jeff Hardy Non Title
Whoever wins this match will get to choose the stipulation for the title match at Lethal Defiance. Very intense match , during the match Edge tried to run away but Hardy would run after him and throw him back into the ring as the matched continued. In the closing moments of the match Pamela would throw a chair into the ring and get up on the apron. Seeing this jeff walked over to tell her to get down but as he did this Pamela would throw herself off the apron and complained to the ref that she had hurt her ankle. As she had the ref distracted Edge would pick up the chair and as Hardy would turn around he would be met with a massive chair shot. As Pamela told the ref to look at the pin it looked like Edge would win but just as the ref's hand was coming down for the 3 count somehow Hardys shoulder would lift up in just in time. With this Edge would get up in anger and go for a spear on Hardy , as Edge ran Hardy would counter into a Twist Of Fate using Edge's momentum ,Hardy would then go up to the top rope hit a Swanton bomb . Just as it looked like Hardy was gonna get the win Beer Money Inc would hit the ring and attack Hardy as once again Pamela would distract the ref. As this happened BMI would hit a DWI on Hardy. Seeing this Lethal Consequences burst down the ramp to take out BMI and they brawled to the back. As Hardy was making it back to his feet Edge would capitalise and hit a spear for the 1-2-3. As Edge was celebrating over Jeff he announced that at "Lethal Defiance" the Title match would be ................................ No Holds Barred Match. Moments Later once again the lights would go out in the Arena as the words "Open Your Eyes.....................Im Coming" As this frustrated Edge he demand that this person comes to Mayhem next week so he can beat him cause he is sick and tired of this message showing up every time he is in the ring.

BWA: Awakening 3 weeks away

The Show opens with a short recap of last weeks show.

(Carlito's Cabana)
Carlito interviews The American Dragon Bryan Danielson
...........

Carlito opens the 4th last show of BWA's america's tour as usual by introducing 'The American Dragon whom he says has a message for The Dynamite Kid

Danielson says he hasnt forgotten the great battles the two off them had during the past year, be it singles matches, No DQ matches or Ladder matches and he knows the fans havent either as their ladder match was voted BWA MOTY for 2008. He hasnt forgotten that it was the Dynamite Kid that put him on the shelf for the past 2 months either. Even last week he cost him his No.1 contender shot, distracting him vs Davey boy Smith, but no more he says, its time for payback. he goes on to mention that he met BWA chairman Bounty Hunter earlier today and although Dynamite Kid already has a match tonight as part of the no.1 contender elimination competition he agreed that should Dynamite lose tonight Danielson will get his wish and face him 1on1 for the Intercontinental title at BWA:Awakening since Steve Corino will now be facing Abyss. Then just as The American Dragon is about to reveal his prediction for that match should it happen he is interrupted by the music of...The British Bulldogs

Dynamite grabs the mic and reminds Danielson that the last time they met he was the one able to walk out of the arena and that last week his tag partner beside him (Davey boy Smith) beat him clean. Here he stops himself, and says thats not why they are out here, they are here to steal Carlitos thunder and introduce the newest draftees to the BWA, the team he describes as the future of the BWA The Canadian Bulldogs DH Smith & Tyson Kidd



DH grabs the mic, thanks his dad for the intro and simply states that at Awakening they will win the world tag team titles!...but for now they have their first BWA match to prepare for

Awesome Kong vs Aja Kong



No Contest: In a prelude to Awakening when team mates Awesome & Aja kong will face each other along with Trish Stratus, Lita and any other female wrestler who may get drafted to the BWA, the two women are forced to face each other. It isnt long however before this match becomes an all out brawl though involving Stratus & Lita who had been watching the match from ringside.

quick promo for BWA:Awakening is aired. Limited tickets are still available

Bruno Sammartino vs The One Man Gang(special commentator Muhammad Ali)


Bruno Sammartino Def The One Man Gang:In a similar bout to last week where Sammartino defeat the other half of the Twin Towers Bruno gives a very polished performance and makes quick work of the big man despite the added distraction of Ali at rigside. After the match is over Ali leaves the announce table and he and Sammartino have a face to face in the ring almost resuting in a physical altercation.

A promo is shown depicting some of the training Ali has undertaken in preperation for his first ever wrestling match at BWA:Awakening

Steve Corino & Matt Hardy vs The Canadian Bulldogs (tag-match)




The Canadian Bulldods Def Corino & Hardy:This is a very even match as once again Corino and Hardy form a very cohesive team. The Bulldogs pull off some very impressive double team moves as they attempt to make their mark on their debut, but with DH Smith isolated from his tag partner Hardy gains control before tagging in Corino. However while Corino is dishing out a beatdown Abyss's Music hits completley distracting Corino who is punished here by Smith with a quick rollup for the 3 count.


Short backstage interview with The British Bulldog Davey boy Smith, who speaks about his ambition to become no.1 contender and BWA champion, his pride at witnesing his son debut in the BWA and how he would be in his tag team partners corner tonight.


Big Van Vader vs The Dynamite Kid(no.1 contender elimination match)



Vader Def Dynamite Kid via pinfall:Despite a significant size disadvantage the Dynamite Kid had control over the staart of this match keeping the big man off his feet and applying numerous locks to further target the area. After a risky venture to the top rope goes wrong for the Englishman Vader has a chance to capitalise and doesent miss it delivering move after power move to him. After each of the latter moves be them Bearhug, Powerslam or Powerbomb Vader can be seen shouting to Davey boy Smith at ringside "this will be you at Awakening". Vader eventually gets the pin after delivering a Moonsault to the near motionless Dynamite Kid

Just before the show goes off air and while The British Bulldog helps The Dynamite Kid to his feet Bryan Danielson's music hits and he comes out from backstage to say something he says he forgot earlier "Dynamite.. at BWA:Awakening, our match for the Intercontinental Title is going to be a 30min Iron Man match!"

Presents; Warzone
Coming to you live from The Allstate Arena, Chicago, Illinois.

The show opens with the ring announcer introducing Jenny McCarthy, who is already in the ring, mic in hand. She says she has a big announcement regarding her involvement in XWE…. She has been given the job of XWE General Manager. Her first decision as GM is to make tonight’s main event, which will be a 6-man tag match; Shawn Michaels & Eric Young & Petey Williams vs. Jeff Jarrett & Cody Rhodes & Ted DiBiase Jr.

The show opens with a women’s match;

Non-title Match: Natalya Neidhart vs. Velvet Sky w/ Angelina Love

Result: Natalya dominates most of the match and picks up the win after Sky’s failed attempt to use a weapon to her advantage while Love distracted the ref on the apron. The ref turns around and calls for the ring bell after seeing Sky with the weapon, making Natalya the winner by DQ.

Tag Team Match;

Colt Cabana & Rey Mysterio vs. Christopher Daniels & Evan Bourne

Result: A match which produced a lot of aerial antics from all competitors. It results in a 619 from Mysterio on Daniels, while Cabana and Bourne grapple on the outside. Mysterio then goes for the pin, 1-2-3. The bell rings and Mysterio & Cabana celebrate in the ring.
Mysterio leaves the arena, while Cabana slowly make his way to the back, he is taken down by a mystery man….it’s Ace Steel!! The refs rush out to pull him away, but Cabana is out cold. Steel makes his way out through the crowd with a smile on his face while paramedics stretcher Cabana to the back.

An ad airs advertising the upcoming XWE Rebelution PPV. The event will be held in Madison Square Gardens, NY. Tickets go on sale this coming Monday, May 18th at 9am from all usual ticket outlets.

Backstage:
Jeff Jarrett is shown in his dressing room and in walk, tag team champs Cody Rhodes & Ted DiBiase Jr. Jarrett warns the two not to get in his way in the match and leaves to make his way to the ring. Rhodes & DiBiase Jr. look at one another confused and leave.

Tonight’s Main Event:

Shawn Michaels, Eric Young & Petey Williams vs. Jeff Jarrett, Cody Rhodes & Ted DiBiase Jr.

Result: The match starts off with Rhodes and Young, with Rhodes getting the upper hand on Young. Jarrett tags in, and demands that Michaels be tagged in, and he does. The two grapple in the ring as the two tag teams look on. Jarrett applies the Sleeper hold, but Michaels eventually gets out of it. Michaels suplexes Jarrett, then climbs up to the top rope to perform a diving elbow drop, only to be met by the mat as Rhodes and DiBiase pull Jarrett out of the ring to safety. Young and Williams then proceed to beat on Cody and Ted outside the ring before rolling Jarrett back in to face HBK. All six men end up in the ring, the ref tries to get the four illegal competitors out so the match can continue but is taken out by a elbow by Jarrett. Young & Rhodes and Williams & DiBiase continue to grapple as they all clear the ring. The ref is still out and Jarrett takes the opportunity to use his guitar and he does, using the Acoustic Equalizer on HBK and goes for the cover. Jarrett then gets the ref to count, 1-2-3.
Young and Williams then proceed to try and help HBK from the ring, who is not impressed. Jarrett celebrates in the ring while mouthing off to HBK as he is brought to the back.

Show ends.

What will the consequences of Jarrett’s actions be? How will Cabana react to Steels invasion? What will XWE GM have in store, with the upcoming PPV just weeks away?

Tune in next week to find out.

Mr.Nice Guy

Week 1 show here.

This week's MNG show comes live from Detroit city.

The show opened with Jake, Shane and Bam Bam coming down to a chorus of boos. Shane said Big Show was feeling the effects of last week's beating to Bam Bam and would not be here. He said Monday Night Grappling was seeing a new era. Roberts got on the mic and cut a promo about his need to become WWE Champion. He said it consumes him. He said it was only a matter of time before he would beat The Rock for the vacant WWE Title. He said that he had gotten inside The Rock's head with Damien and that Damien was the truth. Jake said tonight he needed a tough competitor to prepare himself for the biggest match of his career. He said he had chosen the toughest guy in the company - Crash Holly. Jake laughed as the fans booed.

At this point The Rock came out. He said he wasn't surprised that the show opened with a long-winded promo by Shane and Jake 'The Worm'. The fans chanted 'Jake The Worm'. The Rock said he'd heard Shane and Jake had quite a celebration and turned towards the titantron. He showed a lot of photoshopped pictures of a semi-naked Shane and Roberts laughing with a snake. The crowd popped for this. Roberts got upset and said if Rock wanted to have payback he could have it now. Rock said he would get revenge on his terms and guaran-damn-teed he would have his payback by the end of the night.

After the break Hardcore Holly came out and again said he wanted a tag title match at Wrestlemania. He said Crash had beaten one half of the tag champs and he had beaten Santino so it should be the Hollys vs Hurricane and Rosey at Mania. Santino came out and said he deserved a title shot and not albino hillbilly boys like the Hollys. At this point Hassan interrupted. He said he was sick of their grievances since the only one with a real grievance around here was him. He showed footage of himself beating up Mr T last week. He said he wanted a match tonight against one of them. Santino fled the ring so it was Hassan vs Hardcore.

Match #1 Muhammad Hassan b. Hardcore Holly

Hassan won with his finisher after a low blow. Hassan continued attacking after the bell but Mr T made the save to a big pop. He grabbed the mic and said he pitied the fool who tried to mess with him. He said he wanted a match with Hassan at Wrestlemania as Hassan backed away.

A trailer played announcing the debut of the Junkyard Dog soon.

The Rock was shown backstage. He ran into Rosey or as Rock called him 'Grimace'. Rock asked where the 'Hamburgler' was. Hurricane flew on the scene. Rock said to relax as he didn't need Chicken McNuggets or anything. He said he needed Hurricane to do him a favour. Hurricane said he had no problems fighting on the side of justice.

A video package of what happened to Big Show last week was shown. Show was interviewed live from his home where he said he was convalescing with some injured ribs. He said even though doctors wanted him to take more time off he would be back next week. He said he would channel his pain into beating Shane and Bam Bam's ass. He said one day he would get his WWE Title back but right now his priority was making Shane and Bam Bam pay. Shane and Bam Bam were watching the footage and looked worried.

Crash was shown talking worriedly with Beth backstage. Santino walked by laughing. Beth asked him what he was laughing at. Santino said he didn't know what was funnier, watching Hardcore Holly get his ass kicked or later getting to watch Crash get his ass kicked. Crash went to attack Santino but Beth held him back. Beth called Santino an idiot. Rosey then walked by. He said Santino shouldn't be laughing because the two would be having a match next as payback for Santino hitting Rosey last week. Santino said this was baloney.

Match #2 Rosey b. Santino

Hurricane wasn't at ringside. Neither was Beth. Rosey won clean with a big splash. Santino got on the mic and said he didn't feel he could trust anyone. He said soon he would call in a favour from someone he could trust.

A video package played revolving around the number 9 ending with the words 'What's mine is mine' followed by 'All will be revealed next week...'

Crash and Beth were again shown backstage. Crash said not even watching Santino get beat up could cheer him up. Beth still seemed puzzled by the video package. Then Jake Roberts walked by. He said tonight he was going to humiliate Crash. He eyed up Beth and said afterwards he might celebrate with her. He walked off laughing.

Match # 3 Jake 'The Snake b. Crash Holly

This was a short match with Shane and Bam Bam watching from ringside. Roberts took him down quickly and worked his back before finishing him with the DDT. After the match Jake went under the ring to get his bag. He opened it but had a look of confusion on his face. He poured out the bag's contents and inside was not Damien but hundreds of worms. The crowd again chanted 'Jake The Worm'. Jake started screaming where was Damien.

The Rock appeared on the titantron live from a bridge in Detroit smiling. The fans chanted his name. The Rock said he'd got help from a friend and done a little switch. He held up a bag with Damien in it. The Rock told Roberts if he thought The Rock was scared he was mistaken because The Rock ain't scared of nobody. Rock said he wasn't an expert on animals and so wasn't sure if snakes could swim but that there was only one way to find out. The Rock hurled the bag into the water and there was a big splash. Roberts went ballistic. The Rock said Damien wasn't the truth, the truth was that at Wrestlemania he'd whoop Jake Roberts' candy ass and become WWE Champion. 'If ya smellll what The Rock is cooking'. The show closed with Roberts beside himself with rage.

Next Time...

- How will Jake Roberts react to his snake Damien being tossed over the bridge by The Rock?

- What will The Big Show have in store for Shane and Bam Bam?

- Will Hassan except Mr T's challenge for a match at Wrestlemania?

- Who is the mystery person set to 'reveal all' next week?

Plus don't miss the debut of JYD and much, much more next time on Monday Night Grappling!

NWA TV Report for 1.3.09



Following on from the shocking conclusion to out first PPV NWA Breakout, tonights TV show is possibly the most eagerly anticipated in NWA history.


- Who was behind the shocking attack on Ricky Steamboat at the conclusion of Sunday’s PPV?

- What was the meaning behind the cryptic message “The Game is up for the NWA,” left on the big screens of the Ted Turner Arena?

- Competition has never been so intense in the NWA. With the recent influx of highly decorated legends from overseas into the company, there are now several contendors who can legitimately claim to be next in line to challenge for the NWA title. With this in mind the NWA Booking Committe have come up with a novel idea to decide who will challenge Eddy Guerrero for the World Title at the next PPV. Eight Superstars will compete in four singles matches tonight, live on NWA TV. Then next week the four winners of these matches will compete on next week's TV main event in a four man eliminated match! The sole survivor will be the undisputed #1 Contendor for the World Title.

- The competitors have been chosen and draw made as follows:

Lex Luger Vs Bam Bam Terry Gordy

Nikita Koloff Vs Konnan

Michael "PS" Hayes Vs Kensuke Sasaki

Tiger Mask Vs El Hijo del Santo

The NWA TV show opens without the normal pyro effects and musical intro. Instead the Chairman of the NWA Board stands alone, grave faced in the centre of the ring. As he addresseds the sold out Ted Turner Arena, images of the shocking conclusion to NWA Breakout are shown on screen. Viewers at home see still photos of Eddy Guerreros Title celebration, Steambopat lying in a pool of blood in the ring, the shocked faces of the fans in attendance and the image of the crypticwords "the Game is up for the NWA" that have sensationalised the wrorld of wrestling and left fans scratching their heads and speculating wildly as to their meaning.


“Ladies and gentleman, the following is a prepared statement on behalf of the NWA Board in response to the events of Sunday night at NWA breakout.

First of all, the board of the NWA wuld like to thank each and every fan who purchased our inaugural PPV, NWA Breakout on Sunday last. Financuially, the PPv was a stunning success and set a North American record for a debut PPV by a wrestling company in terms of both PPV buys and spped of live ticket sales. The NWA has now been established firmly on the world stage as a force to be reckoned with in professional wrestling and we, the board extend our gratitude and appreciation to those loyal fans who have this dream a reality.

However the overwhelming success of the event has been totally over shadowed by the sickening events of the conclusion to the pay-per-View. Ricky Seamboat, the heart and soul of our great company was attacked in a cowardly and vicious manner. Ricky was rushed to hospital, suffering a serious concussion. Three days later, he remains in hospital under the watchful eye of Medical professionals and his loving family. Such is the severity of his injuries that at this stage it is uncertain whether he will ever wrestle again. The Board of the NWA extends our best wishes to Ricky and his family at this time. Out thoughts and prayers are with you.

To the perpetrator or perpetrators of this heinous act, the Board of the NWA has a very clear and simple message. We have been working day and night to ascertain who cpuld have carried out such an assault. We WILL find out who you are and you will be punished in the most severe way possible for your actions. From day one the Na has sought to carry oput its business in an honourable manner and attacks of this nature cannot and will not tolerated. Not only was the greatest night in the history of our proud company marred by your cowardly act, but you have succeeded in depriving our loyal fans of enjoying the skills of the finest professional wrestler I the world for the foreseeable future. For those reasons and because of the heartbreak and trauma you have caused the Steamboat and indeed the entire NWA family, we will not rest until your identity has been ascertained and the perpetrators brought to justice.

Thank you for your time.”

Match Number 1. #1 Contendors Title Tournament. "Bam Bam" Terry Gordy Vs Lex Luger



A hard hitting big man match sees Terry Gordy showing off the freakish power and amazing agility that makes easily oine of the finest super heavyweights in the history of pro-wrestling against the young, cocky Luger whos association with the evil Russian Nikita Koloff has made him a fugure of hate amongst the fans of the NWA. Such is their hated for Luger that the fans even cheer when Gordy, a member of the usually reviled Fabulous Freebirds gets the three-count after his spetacular running powerslam and powerbomb combination.

Backstage segment:Luger is angry

Bitterly disappointed at losing out so early in the tournament, Lex Luger throws a tantrum backstage, much to the delight of the audience who's laughter and jeers fill the arena. Luger happens upon the Repo Man Barry Darsow, whos comedy act has recently begun to win the crowd over. Enraged at the sight of a Darsow sniggering at his tantrum "The Total Package" takes his frustrations out on the unfortunate Repo Man, viciously beating him down, before tossing him through a nearby table.


Match Number 2. #1 Contendors Title Tournament. Michael Hayes (w/ Terry Gordy) Vs Kensuke Sasaki (w/Katsuhiko Nakajima)



Match number 2 in the tournament sees the charismatic, brash mastermind of the Fabulous Freebirds Michael Hayes take on the IWGP champion of New Japan, (a title he has held five times) Sasaki has already made it clear that he intends returning to Japan as a double champion by securing the NWA title, while Hayes has made no secret of his dsire for the Freebirds to finally taste gold in the company. Hayes, as always is accompanied to the ring by his partner Terry Gordy, who has already secured his place in next week's survival match, while Sasaki is seconded by his prodigiously talented protege Nakajima. The match itself quickly becomes a showcase for the powerhouse Sasaki, in this his US debut. Fans delight in his aggressiona and powerful strikes and chops and marvel at his athletic ability as he pulls off top rope Frankensteiners and various suplexes with apparent ease. Only constant distraction and interference from Gordy save Hayes on a number of occasions, causing Sasaki to become more and more angry as the bout continues. The Japanese powerhouse finally picks up the win with his patented Northern Lights Bomb, dropping Hayes on his head with the brainbuster variation for the 3-count.

Still angry about Gordy's interference during the match, the irate Sasakihas to be restrained by his young partner Nakajima from attacking Gordy outside the ring. The interaction between these two powerhouses is sure to be a fascinating feature of next weeks tournament final!


Interview Segment. "Charlar Con Konnan"

Next out to the ring is Mexican lucha libre legend Konnan. Konnan has been hired by the NWA as an overseas ambassador for the NWA as it extends its roots in to the rich wrestling heritae of Mexico. As well as wrestling fulltime on NWA shows, Konnan will also negotiate with Mexican talent and speak on their behalf on NWA TV. The Board of the NWA have also tapped into his natural charisma and brilliance as a talker by giving him his own weekly interview segment on NWA TV, the rather snappily titled "Charlar con Konnan" (literally "Chat with Konnan!")

As his first guest, Konnan announces the newly crowned NWA Heavyweight champion, Eddy Guerrero! Guerrero receives a standing ovation as he makes his way to the ring. Konnan welcomes him to the ring with a warm embrace. He and Guerrero are old friends who wrestled both with and against each other in Mexico for years and the warmth and bond between them is apparent from the outset as they alternate between Spanish and English. Guerrero thanks the fans for the rapturous reception he received both tonight and at the PPV on Sunday. He promises again to uphold the dignity of the NWA title and that he will be fighting champion who will defend the belt against all comers.

Konnan in turn expresses his admiration for Guerrero, calling him the greatest wrestler he ever faced in his career. Now that he has arrived into the NWA he promises Guerrero that he will always have his back and will act as his "hermano" or brother. Furthermore he says that the name "Guerrero" which translates into English as "hero" was never so apt as it is for Eddie who is not just a hero for him but for young Mexicans all over the world. Extending his hand in a seeming act of unity and alliance towards Guerrero, the two embrace and it seems as if a formidable and intriguing partnership has been formed between the Latino legends. Guerrero wishes Konnan luck in his match against Nikita Koloff in the #1 contender's tournament, saying it would be an honour to defend hid title agaist his old amigo.

As Eddy's music plays and the pair raise each other's hands to salute the crowd, Konnan announces that his guest next week will be none other that the Mexican icon, the Son of the Saint El Hijo del Santo!

Match Number 3. #1 Contender's Title Tournament. Konnan Vs Nikita Koloff



Our next match up features a direct clash of styles. The high paced almost balletic lucha-libre of Konnan contrasts with the more deliberate brawling style of the hated Russion Nikita Koloff. Koloff has been despised by the NWA crowd since his debut in the company. With his total lack of respect for the NWA audiene and his disdain for all things American he has won few friends over the years, although he has found a kindred spirit in Lex Luger, the arrogant young prima donna who turned his back on his fans and indeed the nation of his birth when he formed the International Alliance with Koloff some months back. After a back and forth battle, Konnan pulls of the somewhat surprising win, tying Koloff up in the complex pinning predicament La Magistral for just long enough to get the three count!

Match Number 4. Rock N Roll Express (World Tag Team Champions) Vs Local Enhancement talent



Morton and Gibson make short work of their young opponents, wowing their adoring fans with their wide array of double team moves.After their match they take to the microphone declaring themselves the greatest tag team in the world and issuing an open challenge for the next PPV for any team that feels they are worthy to take their belts.

Suddenly they are interupted by Michael Hayes, who has some choice words for the champions. The vociferous crowd let their feelings known and boo him mercilessly throuighout his speech.

"You know Ricky and Robert, it pains me to say this but you guys are good, damned good in fact. Me and my brother Bam Bam have chased you guys all over the Southern States but i'm damned if we don't just keep coming up short. But brothers thats got me to thinking, maybe theres been something missing from the Freebirds these last few years. When we were at our height there were three of us and we swept all before us brother, Rocking and a Rolling our way to the top of the business. So its time for me and Brother Terry to play a little ace we've had up our sleeves for some time now. Next week, we announce the third member of the Fabulous Freebirds and complete the triangle and believe me boys hes a good one! In fact you could say hes a certain somebody the Rock N' Roll Express knows all to well....."

Match Number 5. # 1 Contenders Tournament El Hijo del Santo Vs Tiger Mask




Our Main Event of the evening is a dream match for wrestling fans all over the world. Arguably the greatest high flyers ever produced by Mexico and Japan clash in a never seen before match for the ages to determine the final spot in next week's elimination match final. Most wrestling companies would be delighted to have this match headline its PPV's. but such is the quality on show in the NWA that we are giving it away on free TV! As expected the match is a spectacular showcase of both wrestler's amazing skills. Running at well over 20 minutes, it raises the bar for every wrestler in the NWA lockerroom and confirms the NWA as the true home od the greaest pure wrestling in the world. By the end of the match the series of high spots mixed with awesome chainnwrestling and near falls leaves the crowd hoarse with excitement. The finish finally comes when Tiger Mask reverses a hurrincanrana attempt into a reverse piledriver, before pinning his gallant opponent with his signature Tiger Suplex. In truth, however, after such an incredible display by both men, there are no real losers in a match of such quality and the Mexican great wins just as many friends and supporters in defeat as his opponent does in victory; indeed the real fans are those who were there to see such a monumental match live and in person.

Backstage Segment. Office of the Board of Directors.

The room is dimly lit and a lone figure sits at the desk on a large swivel chair. The chair is turned away from the camera, hiding the identity of its occupant who slowly begins to speak in a voice familiar to wrestling fans the world over.

"In the beginning it was the territories who stood in my way. And I crushed them.

Then it was WCW who stood in my way. And I crushed them.

ECW, TNA, ROH, I bought 'em all and yes I crushed them, I held them in the palm of my hand and I crushed them as the eyes of the world looked on.

And now after all these years, the NWA rises up like a pheonix from the flames and thinks that they can compete once again with Vincent Kennedy McMahon?

*Turns slowly in chair*

You see I freely admit that I'm a control freak. I'm obsessive, I'm compulsive and above all I must have things my own way. And I can't let the NWA rise up like WCW did before them. I can't let the Ted Turner Arena become a mecca to professional wrestling like Madison Square Garden did and above all I will NEVER EVER let Ted Turner or any company in which he's involved compete with me like they did before.

So I'm going to do what I should've done a long time ago. Next week, I spill the blood of the entire NWA, just like my son-in-law spilled that of your hero on Sunday night........."



Screen fades to black to the sound of McMahon's maniacal laughter.........

NEXT WEEK ON NWA TV:

- What does the evil Vince mcMahon have in store for the NWA and its fans? How does he have the authority to appear on NWA television?
- The Number 1 contender to the NWA title will be decided. Its Terry Gordy Vs Konnan Vs Tiger Mask Vs Kensuke Sasaki in a four man survival spectacular!
- Who will be named the third member of the Fabulous Freebirds? What is his connection with the Rock N' Roll Express?
- Konnan will interview El Hijo del Santo. What is the exact nature of alliance formed between Konnan and Eddy Guerrero on this weeks show?

Bounty Hunter

BWA: Awakening 2 weeks away

The Show opens with a short recap of last weeks show.

(Carlito's Cabana)
Carlito interviews the newest BWA draft


Carlito opens the show with a double announcement before introducing his guest/guests to the BWA audience. In 2 weeks upon the BWA's return to England for BWA:Awakening there will be what is now officially a sell out record setting crowd of 90,000 at Wembley stadium, and secondly that the contract signing for Awakening's main event which will now officially pit Muhammad Ali against Bruno Sammartino for the World heavyweight title will take place live here tonight!

First he'd like to welcome the newest members of the BWA roster..Silver King & Dr Wagner Jr



Carlito welcomes them to the BWA and enquires if they plan on competing to become the first ever BWA tag team champions at Awakening

Silver King takes the mic and says that when they got the call up to the BWA they had wanted to know the exact same thing so went straight to the chairman of the BWA, but the chairman it seems has different plans for them. He went on to explain that he had let them know that he was in negotiations to bring in another team of Luchadores but that he didnt want a load of Masked wrestlers on his show so if they dont want to be unmasked they will have to defeat this other team in a Mask vs Mask match at Awakening

Silver King passes the Mic to Dr Wagner Jr who explains just what a Mask means to a Mexican wrestler and how they will do everything they can to stop that from happening. He also explains that now they will give an example of what awaits whoever will face them at Awakening

Silver King & Dr Wagner Jr vs Matt Hardy & Steve Corino



Silver King & Dr Wagner Jr Def Hardy & Corino After a real exhibition of Lucha Libre skills the masked duo pick up the win after Abyss comes through the crowd to once again attack Corino, leaving Matt Hardy isolated/susceptable to the Mexicans double team moves before he is eventually pinned when Dr Wagner Jr delivers a Sitout crucifix powerbomb from the second rope. Lita comes out to help Matt to his feet after the match.

quick backstage interview with the Twin Towers, The Big Bossman & The One Man Gang who have been on a losing streak recently but vow that starting tonight they will start a winning streak that will culminate with them becoming Tag champs at Awakening

Bryan "The American Dragon" Danielson vs Carlito


Bryan Danielson Def Carlito:In a very impressive display The American Dragon sends a clear message to his Awakening opponent as he systimatically takes Carlito apart before finishing him with a Spinning reverse piledriver. Trish Stratus has to help Carlito back stage after the match just as Lita had to earlier

A backstage segment is shown in which Awesome & Aja Kong compete in a arm wrestling competition.

The British & Canadian Bulldogs vs Vader, Abyss & The Twin Towers (8 man tag-match)




Vader, Abyss & The Twin Towers Def The Bulldogs by DQ: The mosterous team of Vader, Abyss, Bossman & One Man Gang dominate this match showing a surpising good understanding and cohesion as a team, isolating first DH Smith and later Tyson Kidd from their corners and making a possible tag for large periods of the match. The match eventually broke down into a massive brawl though when Steve Corino came out of nowhere to attack Abyss, returning the favourt from earlier tonigh. This result in the team of big men winning via DQ.


Contact signing with Bruno Sanmartino and Muhammad Ali

Ali comes out first, his usual cocky self and talks about how much he is looking forward to BWA:Awakening and that Bruno Sammartino doesent scare him stating 'It's lack of faith that makes people afraid of meeting challenges, and I believed in myself.' before signing the contract for the match, just as he does Sammartino's music hits and out he comes



Bruno gets straight straight in Ali's face, saying he doesent have to fear him but he will respect him, that wrestling is his domain and that Casius Clay's (which is how Sammartino refers to Ali throughout this segment) mouth shouldent write checks his body cant cash because at BWA:Awakening He will show who really is the greatest. He then signs the contract before stating that it is done now the match is offical but he isnt going to wait till then to get his hand on Ali, he throws the table the contract had been on out of the ring and attacks Ali head on. The two are eventually seperated as Matt Hardy, Steve Corino and the Canadian & British bulldogs all rush to the ring to keep them apart.

Mr.Nice Guy

Week 1 show here.

Week 2 show here.

This week's MNG show comes live from Miami, Florida.

The show opened with Jake 'The Snake', Shane and Bam Bam coming out flanked by security. Shane got on the mic and said tonight would be a special night. He said he doubted Big Show would come as promised but if he did he'd meet security. He said tonight the Hollys would face Santino and a partner of his choosing to determine the number 1 contenders for the tag titles. He also said tonight The Rock would take on Bam Bam here in his hometown in a no holds barred match. Jake got on the mic and cut a promo about how The Rock disgusts him and reiterated he'd win the vacant WWE title at Wrestlemania. He said The Rock wrote his death warrant last week by throwing Damien into the river and demanded Rock come out so he could destroy him in his hometown.

Rock came out to a huge ovation and said finally he had come home. Rock said usually he would never touch another man's snake since that's more Shane's style. Shane got upset. Rock told Jake not to worry as he had sent a team of crack scuba divers under the river to try and find Damien. He started pulling out items from a bag which included a plastic eel, an Aquaman costume, a message in a bottle which called Jake an asshole and a sex doll with 'property of Bam Bam' written on it. Rock apologised for Damien not being in there. Rock said it didn't matter who he faced tonight whether it was Bam Bam, Pebbles, Fled Flinstone, Wilma, Wilma's fat mammy, the only think that mattered was tonight The Rock would lay the smackdown on their candy asses.

Jake said Rock shouldn't be so cocky. He said he knew Hurricane helped Rock take Damien last week so tonight he would take his frustrations out on him and Rock wouldn't be able to do anything about it as he would be banned from ringside by security. The crowd booed as Jake laughed and the show went to commercial.

Match #1 The Hollys vs Santino and Nunzio ended in a double count-out

Before the match Santino said he had called in a favour from someone he could trust. He introduced Nunzio. He said he and Nunzio were old pals and used to be regarded as The Italian Stallions in Sicily. Santino said they would beat the two albino boys and face Hurricane and Rosey for the tag belts at Mania.

The match was fairly even throughout. Beth came out during the match to Santino's delight but she didn't acknowledge him. She came to ringside and watched. The finish came with Santino and Crash as the legal men both trying to use Beth's chair to hit the other. She refused to let either of them have it. The bell rang for a double count-out. Nunzio and Hardcore seemed bemused.

Suddenly the lights went out and another video played featuring the number 9 and the words 'What's mine is mine'. Suddenly Chyna's music hit and she came out to a huge pop. She got on the mic and said she was back in WWE and since she left as the women's champion she still considered herself the rightful champion. She told Beth she wanted her gold back at Wrestlemania and that it would be the Glamazon vs the 9th wonder of the world. Beth looked worried and behind her Santino kept cracking up. Each time Beth turned round he kept a straight face.

Backstage Rock was looking for Hurricane but bumped into Mr T. He wished Mr T luck shutting up Hassan. Mr T said Hassan would get an old-fashioned American ass-kicking soon. Rock said he didn't doubt that and excused himself. Rock found Hurricane and Rosey. Rock said he was sorry he'd left Hurricane in a tight spot against Jake tonight. Hurricane said it wasn't his fault. Rosey told Rock not to worry because while Rock wouldn't be allowed out there, he'd still be there and would have Hurricane's back.

Match #2 didn't take place

JYD came out for his debut to a big pop but Muhammad Hassan ran down the aisle and attacked him and left him laying. Mr T came out for the save and Hassan ran off. Mr T again repeated his call for a match at Mania. Afterwards an angry Shane said he was getting frustrated with Hassan's antics. He asked Hassan to sign a contract next week for a match with Mr T at Wrestlemania. Hassan said he'd think about it.

Rock was shown sitting in his locker-room. Hurricane burst in and told Rock to come quick. Rosey was shown being treated by EMTs and lying in a pool of blood. A snake symbol was written into the blood. Rock looked pissed and Hurricane said he'd make Roberts pay. Rock told him to be careful as he was now on his own.

Match #3 Jake Roberts b. Hurricane

Shane was at ringside. Hurricane started strongly but Roberts soon took control. He finished Hurricane with the DDT and got the pin. Roberts got a chair and began beating on Hurricane. Rock was shown backstage trying to get through the curtain but security wouldn't let him. He hit some of the guards but there were too many. The fans started chanting for Big Show. The Big Show's music hit and everyone turned to the ramp but he came through the crowd. Shane and Jake left the ring as Show stood tall.

After the break Hurricane was shown with Rock and Show being helped into a cab to go visit Rosey at the hospital. He thanked Show for his help. Show told Rock he would have Rock's back tonight. Rock said he appreciated the offer but he didn't want it and walked away as Show looked on.

Match #4 The Rock b. Bam Bam (no holds barred match)

Bam Bam came out with Shane and Jake while The Rock came out alone. Security guarded the ramp. The match started with Bam Bam in control but The Rock later took charge and looked set to win with The People's Elbow. Jake then pulled Rock over the rope and he and Shane beat on him. Fans chanted for Show. The Big Show's music hit again and he came out knocking down all the security guards. Show and Bam Bam had a stare-down and then went at it with rights and lefts. Rock got a second wind and he and Show began working on Bam Bam, Shane and Jake. The finish came with The Rock hitting the Rock Bottom on Bam Bam for the 1-2-3.

The show went off the air with Rock and Show standing in the ring as Jake, Shane and Bam Bam backed up the aisle.

PRO WRESTLING REBELLION

With the world having tired of the monotony and revisionism of WWE, it was not long before the company was circling the drain. Wage packets bouncing, arenas and merchandisers not being paid were just the beginnings of the problems for this once behemoth company. Ratings were almost nonexistent. A number of its top stars decided that wrestling was the past and moved on to full time acting in TV series and movies. Quite a few others just decided that they should call it a day as not every promotion liked 6ft6 muscle bound, talentless monsters. Wrestling as we knew it was finished. WWE was eventually cut leaving no regular wrestling programming anywhere. The loss of the market leader caused a huge domino effect causing almost every ambitious promotion to cut costs and re evaluate the direction they wanted to take.

The media picked up on this and were quick to revel in the death of an entertainment form that was forever under a cloud of suspicion due to drug abuse and subsequent deaths, and ridicule, given the sports worked nature. However, this had a knock on effect that no one could have foreseen – it kept focus on the seemingly dead sport.

Enter God, who has taken the earth name of Dana White so as not to seem too full of himself. A long time wrestling fan who did not want the sport go down the tubes. He felt he could muster up enough talent to create a new promotion, a promotion to re invent the sport minus the stupidity which ruined the business in the recent past. Basically, he wanted to take it back to basics. Not go to territories too quickly as he felt he needed to establish a firm foothold in the eastern American market before broadening the scope.

The vision of the company is clear – workrate based wrestling to complement small but significant storylines. There would be an emphasis on realism as it was felt that, certainly in indies, the no sell option went too far, and the “fighting spirit” comeback was used all too often. There would be very defined divisions within the company – World Title (open weight), Tag Titles (open weight) and Cruiserweight title (under 205lbs). All divisions will be capable of headlining any given PPV as every division will be sold as must see TV. This will be particularly easy given the abundance of talent at the promotions disposal. And in a departure from conventional US booking, a title match will not have to headline each PPV.

Roster To Date
1. Murder City Machine Guns
2. CM Punk
3. KENTA & Naomichi Marufuji
4. Low Ki
5. The Brian Kendrick
6. Homicide
7. Tomko & Giant Bernard
8. "The Anarchist" Doug Williams
9. God
10. Jerry "The King" Lawlor
11. Juvi & Psichosis
12. James Gibson
13. Ron "The Truth" Killings

Initially, it was decided that going the house show route around known wrestling hot spots was best to help this new company get the recognition it needed. White knew plenty TV executives so getting TV time was never going to be an issue, but being the perfectionist that he is, he insisted on honing the product as well as he could before going out on national TV.

It was a slow start. People were apprehensive to start going back to wrestling again. Many of the long time fans felt it could just be another false dawn, having seen their once loved promotions like ECW, TNA, WWE, WCW all fall by the wayside. The casual fan was not overly enticed either. To this end, White, decided the best way around this is free tickets for the first show in each City. Everyone in attandence will get a buy one get one free for the next show in that City. This would be foolproof as it would not cost the fans a cent to begin with, and they would be blown away by what they see in the ring.

As the first series of shows ended in New York, Philly, Chicago, Boston, Washington the promotion seemed well received. The lowest attendance was 750, the highest being 1125. Merchandise was a decent seller to offset the costs involved in running free shows. They were all also taped for DVD release for the second tour.

By the time the second tour kicked off, White was somewhat annoyed he went the buy one get one free route as he had a complete sell out in all but one City – Washington, and even there he had 950, just 300 off the capacity. The highest attendance this time was 1750 in Philly.

More importantly for the promotion, a number of feuds had developed naturally. Jerry “The King” Lawler managed to rub “The Anarchist” Doug Williams up the wrong way. The cocky Murder City Machine Guns took an immediate dislike to the heavy handed tactics of the dominant champions team of Tomko & Bernard. The World title, which had been decided in an Ultimate Fighter Style tournament before the tour, was still in hot dispute between the arrogant, obnoxious and preachy Champion - The Straight Edge CM Punk, Low Ki and Kenta, while a cruiserweight champion had yet to be crowned. This would occur at the first TV taping. Contenders in this category would be both Chris Sabin & Alex Shelley, both Juvi and Psichosis, James Gibson and Brian Kendrick, who had all advanced from preliminary bouts.

Silver King & Dr Wagner Jr vs The Colon Brothers w/Eric Perez



The Colons Def silver King & Dr Wagner Jnr: This match is essentially a 3 on 2 handicap match considering how involved Eric Perez makes himself. Both teams are very impressive in the ring, executing numerous double team moves and really showcasing what they could do if given more time. The colons eventually get the win by cheating as Primo uses brass knucks which were slid to him by Perez whilst the ref was being distracted by Carlito.

Matt Hardy, Steve Corino, Lita & Trish vs Double Kong, Vader & Abyss (8 person intergender tag-match)




Double Kong, Vader & Abyss Def Corino, Hardy, Lita & Trish:

A hard fought back and forth battle involving a number of Awakening opponents turns bad for the remnants of Organization of Modern Extreme (Corino, Hardy & Lita) when Trish turns on Lita, delivering some stratusfaction after Lita had tagged herself in for Trish, leaving her open for the pin which Aja Kong took full advantage of.[/center]

After the match as he makes his way back to the dressing room Steve Corino is attacked from behind by Abyss who throws Corino through a plain glass window and would have continued the attack but he is interupted by Matt Hardy who grabs a chair to scare off the Monster Abyss.

Muhammad Ali comes out before the next match and praises the BWA chairman for saving his ring debut for PPV and BWA:Awakening and for making the match he was about to call tonight

Bruno Sanmartino Vs the Twin Towers (Handicap match with special commentary from Muhammad Ali)



The Twin Towers Def Bruno Sammartino:After defeating both members of the Twin Towers in recent weeks Bruno opens this match full of confidence despite the numerical disadvantage, dominating whichever opponent is tagged in and screaming insults at Ali sitting at ringside. Eventually while the One man gang is down after a powerslam Ali responds to one of these insults by leaving his seat and getting up on the Ring side and he and Bruno stare each other down, before Ali delivers a quick right hand to the Jaw of Sammartino sending him stumbling backwards into a rollup pin from The Big Bossman who had just tagged in for the 3 count.

The Volt

WWE Volt is back for its' long awaited second week. This weeks show broadcasted live from Albany, NY. Again it's a sellout.

In the centre of the ring a weirdly shaped box hoisted high in the air. Lillian Garcia announces that a scramble will now take place for the contents of the box and that it is open to any superstar. First out of the back are is Shelton Benjamin, he signals to LT Taylor that he can be elevated onto his shoulders to claim the prize. Rushing out after him is Kane, closely followed by Chavo and Corporal Cajun. As Kane pummels the hispanic duo, Benjamin's attempt to get on LT's shoulders is hindered by a chairshot courtesy of DDP who arrived dramatically to the ring on a badass motorbike. He soaks up the crowd's enthusiasm but turns around into a chokeslam. Outside the ring Chavo and Corporal Cajun pull out a ladder. Kane takes out LT with a big boot, some form of retribution after last week but Benjamin takes the Big Red Machine out with the chair. He turns around to be met with a shot of the ladder to the face. Chavo and Corporal both ascend up the ladder but naturally, argue once they get to the top. Out of nowhere, the oppertunistic Marc Mero comes from the crowd. He knocks the two off the ladder using a Singapore cane, promplty climbs the ladder and retrieves the box.

He opens the box and discovers the Intercontinental Title. Delighted with himself, he parades it around the ring. All of a sudden, GM Stepanie McMahon's entrance music rings out. She says 'Marc, I'm glad that you cleverly saved your energy, you're going to need it because, I've booked the winner of this scramble into the main event for this evening. Tonight you'll go one on one with a man in need of match fitness before his big night, that right. The number one contender for the WWE Championship, Harley Race!
Mero's smug look is wiped from his face as the show cuts to an ad-break.


We are brought backstage into our lovely GM's office. In bursts Champ John Cena.
Cena: Hey Stephanie, great idea with that scramble there. How do you intend on topping that? I mean, you've a wash up and a coward in your main event I hear
Steph: You know John, you're right. we need some proper action, an underdog of sorts. Up against the odds, a real charismatic SOB. John, how about tonight we put you up against it?
Cena: What?
Steph: Go to the ring John after the next match John, you'll see.

Cena walks out, camera zooms to Steph's cheeky smile.


WWE Tag Team Championship No.1 Contender Match
This match determines who will face The Public Enemy at Wrestlemania. The Nasty Boys take on Chavo Guerrero and Corporal Cajun. This match is technically brilliant with neither side holding back on playing dirty. The climax sees Chavo levelled with a flying dropkick. Corporal's attempt at a headscissor takedown is calmly reversed into a sitout powerbomb. The pinfall is nailed after a flying elbow drop from Jerry Sags.


The next promo cuts to Marc Mero backstage with Jacky. DDP interrupts their conversation, calling Mero clever but telling him to try defend the title with more honour than how he earned it. DDP leaves it at 'BANG!'


John Cena makes his way to the ring, still looking confused. Stephanie's face appears on the titantron. She says she's been hounded by a superstar for weeks about trying to prove his worth, she says that he's got a lot of anger in him. Kane's fireworks almost send Cena through the roof and we have ourselves a fine contest. After a gruelling battle, Cena manages to reverse a clothesline into the STF. Kane manages to break out of it, building momentum again, he hits a Sidewalk Slam. Upon only hearing the ref count to 2, he goes crazy, ripping monitors off the announcing table, then signalling that it's Chokeslam time. To the annoyance of the crowd, he is held back by the interruptance that is the Right to Censor. Bull and The Goodfather decimate Kane and slam him through the table. Cena thanks his new found allies.

Backstage, RTC is interviewed by newly re-hired Kevin Kelly. Asked about what they did to Kane, they say 'Kane is an amalgam of sadism and horror, and has not been we do not feel that children should see it here.' They assure WWE Fans that the monster will be put to bed so they can sleep at night.

Main Event

Marc Mero (IC Champion) vs. Harley Race *Non title match*

Harley Race is firmly on the road to Wrestlemania with momentum after a hard fought victory here. A Piledriver finished off a resilient Marc Mero who also seemed to be again rowing with Jacqueline on the side, she leaves his side after he blames her for his loss. He turns around to be hit with a DDT, the show ends with Race pointing to the 'Mania sign overhead.

Minto

Segment 1: Arrogance deserves an ass kicking!
Monday Night Wrestling opens with The Rockstars in the ring, surrounded by several women. They brag about how they are the hottest thing on the pro-wrestling scene. Nobody can beat them. Suddenly, the familiar sound of the APA music hits over the PA system. The crowd erupts as Bradshaw and Farooq storm to the ring. Once in the ring, Bradshaw grabs a mic and is about to speak when Zack Ryder interupts and asks "What's up, Grampa?", and hits him with the mic. The Rockstars then bail out of the ring as Farooq tends to Bradshaw.

Segment 2: Tournament's a brewing!
In Denny Crane's office, Nicole (the backstage interviewer) asks Denny what his plans are for the NWL World championship at the SuperBrawl. Denny says he is planning a tournament for tonight. The winner of the tournament will face Chris Jericho at the SuperBrawl. Nicole then asks what about Randy Savage (quick pop from the crowd in the arena at the mention of Savage). Denny says Savage is retired and that the NWL is about competition and Savage is too old to provide competition for Jericho. Match one of the tournament is next.

Segment 3: Tournament match 1: Mike Awesome Vs. William Regal
Awesome and Regal have a very technical match. The crowd seem into it, but at the same time, would rather a bit more action. Regal counters the Awesome Bomb into an uncharacteristic hurricanrana and applies the Regal Stretch for the submission win. Regal advances to the tournament finals.

Segment 4: MVP's Live Lounge
MVP comes to the ring dressed in red, white and blue. The live lounge set has been decked out in red, white and blue also. MVP in the ring tells Storm that he can run down America all he wants, but the fact remains that "I'm betta than you!" The crowd pops. Storm comes out to the ring with a Canadian flag. He comes into the ring and talks about how the world is subjected to so much pro-USA "bullsh*t"! MVP is about to respond when Storm superkicks him and attacks him with the canadian flag. He then begins to destroy the set. Storm then notices a (plant dressed as) US marine sitting at ringside, he goes over to him and drags him into the ring and superkicks him. He then drapes the Canadian flag over him and leaves to a chorus of boos.

Segment 5: Tournament match 2: Paul Burchill Vs. Mike Knox
Knox has been repackaged as a faux MMA fighter. The match is a complete squash by Knox who KO's Burchill in a matter of seconds. The crowd start singing "nah nah hey hey goodbye" to Burchill after his loss to Knox. Knox' new gimmick is surprisingly over with the crowd.

Segment 6: Jericho ups the stakes!
Chris Jericho makes his way to the ring. He tells us he has a plan. He's not going to tell us hypocrites the plan, but he will share with us the footage of his beating of Randy Savage last week. Jericho says Savage is now at home afraid to confront him again. Jericho keeps berating Savage. He goes as far as badmouthing the memory of the late Miss Elisabeth and saying Savage was the real reason she OD'd! Jericho is getting tonnes of heat for this. Denny Crane comes out and tells Jericho he is fining him for unsportsmanlike behavior and to drop the whole Savage thing and worry about the winner of the next match.

Segment 7: Tournament match 3: Regal Vs. Knox
These two manage to have a great back and forth match. Regal manages to repel most of Knox' attacks, but Knox gets in a few choice shots, knocking Regal to the ground. Knox mounts Regal and attempts an armbar, but Regal manages to reverse it into the Regal Stretch for the submission. Regal is the new number one contender.
Jericho comes out to the top of the ramp and stares down Regal to end the show.

Mr.Nice Guy

Week 1 show here.

Week 2 show here.

Week 3 show here.

This week's MNG show comes live from Detroit, Michigan.

The show opened with Shane, Jake and Bam Bam coming out again flanked by security. Shane noted Rock and Show got the upper hand last week but said tonight would be different. He said he'd decided at Wrestlemania there'd be a tag team triple threat match for the tag titles and that he hoped Hassan would face Mr T. He also said he'd a big announcement - at Wrestlemania Big Show would compete against Bam Bam Bigelow. Big Show then came out to a good reception. He said he would enjoy destroying Bam Bam at Wrestlemania. Shane told Big Show not to get too excited because after Show attacked security last week, someone needed to be a special referee to control Big Show's giant ego and who better than the giantkiller - Shane McMahon!

At this point Jake 'The Snake' yanked the mic from Shane who seemed surprised. Jake said he was sick of hearing about Bam Bam this, and Bam Bam that. He said he'd lost his snake Damien and had heard nothing about him since. Shane said he was trying to find it. Bam Bam then said he was sick of Jake's complaints and asked him where he was last week when Rock beat him. Jake told Bam Bam he wouldn't have lost to The Rock as he's not a useless piece of crap. The two squared up and looked like they might go at it. Bam Bam called Jake a nobody. Jake warned he had a lot in common with snakes as they have a tendency to work well alone and strike quickly. Jake pushed Bam Bam who pushed Jake back. Big Show started laughing at the scene in the ring as Shane struggled to keep them apart.

At this point The Rock made his entrance to a big reception. He said he wasn't sure if he was watching Monday Night Grappling or The National Geographic. He said Jake as always was comparing himself to a snake, Bam Bam as always was looking like a big fat ugly walrus and Shane, as always, was looking like a whiney little bitch. Jake said Rock was scared of facing him at Mania for the vacant WWE Title. Rock told him to know his role and shut his mouth. Rock said he agreed that Jake was similar to a snake as they both have no balls. Jake looked irate and Big Show started laughing. Shane said tonight Bam Bam and Jake wouldn't go at it - The Rock and Big Show would. He made a lumberjack match for Rock vs Big Show later on and laughed as the crowd booed.

Backstage Santino and Nunzio were celebrating the news of the triple threat tag match at Mania. Beth was there but looked glum. Nunzio asked why she was upset. Santino said she was scared of facing Chyna. Beth said she wasn't scared. Santino said she should ask for the match to be cancelled since Chyna looked like more of a man than he did. He kept cracking jokes as Chyna appeared behind him. Nunzio nudged him to shut up but he kept making fun. He turned around and she grabbed him by the throat. Beth told Chyna to let him go. Chyna warned Beth her time as champion was coming to an end. Santino thanked Beth for helping him and said she must really love him. Beth called him an idiot and walked off. Santino and Nunzio looked at each other and said 'women!'

Bob Holly came by and said he looked forward to the tag match at Mania but suggested a one-on-one match tonight. Santino said that was a great idea and suggested Nunzio fight him. Nunzio didn't look best pleased at this but Santino said he couldn't wrestle as he'd other business tonight.

Match # 1 Nunzio b. Hardcore Holly

Holly came out without Crash. Nunzio was also alone. The finish came with Santino running down the aisle to distract the ref as Nunzio hit the low blow and rolled up Holly for the win. Afterwards an angry Hardcore Holly found Crash who was wearing a blue suit and had flowers. He asked where Crash was. Crash said he was finally going to ask out Beth. Hardcore said they could be tag champs in two weeks and told his cousin not to get distracted.

Hurricane and Rosey were called into Shane's office. He mentioned the triple threat tag match and asked them how they were. Hurricane questioned Shane's sincerity. Shane insisted he cared about all his talent. Hurricane said he was feeling OK but Rosey wasn't feeling great after last week's assault. Shane said that was too bad as the two of them would be facing Bam Bam and Jake later tonight. Shane laughed and Hurricane shook his head.

Crash was again shown backstage. He found Beth and said he understood she had a lot on her plate but that he felt he could no longer keep his feelings to himself. He told Beth he liked her and asked her to finally ditch Santino. Beth said she couldn't deal with this right now and walked off as Crash looked crushed.

Santino's Casa segment - Contract signing

Santino came out and laughed at Crash's attempt to take his woman. He said no woman would turn down an Italian stallion for an albino pony. He talked about Hassan and Mr T's feud and called out Mr T who got a great reception. Santino said he and Mr T had a lot in common and said he loved him in that movie Shaft. Mr T told him to 'Shut up fool!' Mr T said Muhammad Hassan had to be taught a lesson and he'd be the man to do it at Wrestlemania. Hassan then came out and told Mr T that he was undefeated on Monday Night Grappling and didn't fear a washed up actor. Mr T said he'd beat Hassan just like he beat up Rocky Balboa which got a good pop. Hassan said he had nothing to prove and went to leave the ring.

At this point Shane came out with a briefcase. He said he wanted this big match at Wrestlemania and was prepared to countenance something that hurt him as an American - he unveiled the United States title. He said he'd promised to introduce a new belt and since he couldn't have two vacant titles, if Hassan signed the contract he'd award him the US title. Mr T urged him to reconsider. Hassan laughed and said what better representative of America than him. He signed the contract and was declared the new US champion. Mr T said at Wrestlemania he'd not only beat up Hassan but take the belt. Hassan took the belt in his hands and laid out Mr T with it. Junkyard Dog ran down and beat on Hassan as he fled the ring.

After the break JYD was shown talking to Mr T and offered to train Mr T for the match with Hassan. Mr T agreed. Hassan meanwhile was stopped on his way out of the arena. He said he had a surprise in store for Mr T next week.

Jake 'The Snake' meanwhile met with Shane and said he didn't feel like teaming with Bam Bam. Then Bam Bam entered and said he felt the same way. Shane said it was important to stay united. Jake said snakes work alone and walked out. Bam Bam warned Shane if Jake tried anything he'd beat his ass.

A package was shown hyping the main event for the vacant WWE Title at Wrestlemania. It focused on The Rock's long odyssey to win the belt and Jake's hardships and struggles throughout his life. Rock was billed as the people's champion and Jake as the scourge of society.

Afterwards The Rock was seen talking to Hurricane and Rosey. He wished them luck tonight. Big Show came along and asked to speak to The Rock and the pair went into Rock's dressing room to discuss something.

Match #2 Jake 'The Snake and Bam Bam d. Hurricane and Rosey

The story of the match was that neither side wanted to tag out. Hurricane didn't want to as Rosey was not 100% and Jake didn't want to as he and Bam Bam were at odds. The finish came with Rosey tagging in but becoming weakened and allowing Jake to gain control and hit the DDT. Bam Bam then tagged in and got the pin. Jake and Bam Bam squared off and looked like they might fight. Shane came down to play peacemaker and extended his hand to Jake but Jake walked off.

Crash Holly was seen sitting alone, looking depressed. Bob Holly came by and told him to focus on the tag titles and not some dumb blonde. Crash said Beth wasn't a dumb blonde and stormed out.

A video package played announcing the newest acquisition to Monday Night Grappling - Miss Elizabeth - and said she'd be there next week.

After the break The Rock cut a pre-match interview ahead of the Lumberjack match. He said Shane's efforts to cause dissention betwen Show and Rock wouldn't work. He made fun of Jake and Shane's issues and said he hoped the happy couple could work things out. He said it was bad enough that Jake had lost his snake and that he wouldn't want to lose his "snake-handler". The crowd chanted Rocky. The Rock said at Wrestlemania what Jake would have to handle is getting his hairy, monkey ass whooped by The Rock as he would leave the WWE Champion.

Match # 3 Lumberjack match - Didn't take place

Shane, Jake and Bam Bam were outside the ring along with Muhammad Hassan, Santino, Nunzio and several security men. The Rock and Show faced off for a few seconds, then looked around the ring, before hopping outside and beating on everyone. The numbers got too many but out came Hurricane and Rosey, The Hollys, Mr T and Junkyard Dog to even up the odds.

Fighting ensued around the ring with Show and Bam Bam fighting into the crowd. Jake meanwhile wound up back inside the ring and in came The Rock who nailed Jake with a Rock Bottom and stood over him. The announcers sold it like The Rock had now fired the first shots in the war with Jake. Shane tried to go in and help Jake but was scared to do so as The Rock placed his boot on Jake's chest. The show went off the air with Shane tearing his hair out as The Rock stood tall with his music playing.

Next Time:

- With one week to go until Wrestlemania, how will Jake respond to The Rock laying him out in the ring?

- Can Shane ease the tensions inside his warring faction?

- What is the surprise Muhammad Hassan has in store for Mr T?

- Chyna has declared she wants Beth's title whilst Crash has declared he wants Beth! How will she handle this?

- Plus don't miss the debut of Miss Elizabeth and much more next time on Monday Night Grappling!

Welcome To Episode 2 Of “Wrestlecade III Preview”

This is the show where in each episode we'll show you the history behind each match that will take place at the biggest show of the year, Wrestlecade III.

This week begins with a backstage interview with the current JWA World Heavyweight Champion Nick Bockwinkel.



Nick states in the articulate manner that only he can how unhappy he was with his match at Rise To Glory against the popular Tito Santana.



He talks about how he shouldn't have even been wrestling due to the flu but did so anyway and proved he was the best in the world by retaining the title. He then gets interrupted by the JWA General Manager Jim Cornette.



Jim is furious at what Nick is saying reminding Nick that he lost the match last night by count out and instead of proving he was the best he just proved he was a coward. Nick calmly states that he still holds the World title, proving him to be the best and that he retained the title only goes to prove his vast intelligence. The GM then laughs and says that tonight there will be a rematch, with the added condition that if the champ gets counted out the title will change hands.

Later that night the match takes place. It's a fantastic back and forward old school mat based treat for the fans, who are firmly behind Santana who gets the upper hand until Nick gets himself disqualified, retaining the title.

Next week Nick takes the mic. He talks about how unfairly he's been treated and how the entire JWA is against him so he's decided to call upon the services of an old friend and ally to help. Out comes Bobby Heenan.



Bobby speaks about how Nick has been taken advantage of and that everyone loves to support a loser in Tito Santana, a man that has never been World champion and never will. He tells the crowd that Tito had his chances to be champ and blew them, and now as the World champion Nick will be taking a well deserved break and any future title contenders will be chosen by them, and Tito wont be among them. They leave the ring with their laughter drowned out by the crowds boos.

Backstage Tito is interviewed. He gives a passionate speech about how it's been his lifelong dream to be World champion. He talks about how he's always tried to do the right thing to get there but he now believes that old saying to be true, stating that nice guys do finish last. He says that this will be his last night in the JWA and that he's going to retire because if he can never become the best he doesn't see the point in continuing.

The following week Jim Cornette comes to the ring. He says there isn't much that can be done with Nick because there is a loophole in the champions contract that allows him to choose the time of his match and his opponent. He then says he deeply regrets the departure of Tito and that he did all he could to make him stay. But, the show must go on and there's a hole in the roster to be filled so please welcome JWA's newest signing The Masked Matador! The matador immediately has his first match against Dragon Kid. The two have a fun match with the crowd really enjoying The Masked Matador's in ring antics. He gets the win over Dragon Kid after a flying forearm.

Next weeks show has The Masked Matador against former JWA World champion The Great Muta. After an incredible showing by both men the Matador again picks up the win. After the match Nick and Bobby hit the ring and talk about how the title will be defended at Wrestlecade III and the opponent will be The Masked Matador, who has already proven himself to be better than the previous oligophrenic supposed contender Tito Santana by actually being able to pin the opposition, but despite the fact The Masked Matador will be receiving a title opportunity he will not be leaving as the World Heavyweight Champion. Jim Cornette walks out stating he is delighted Nick has decided to defend the title. Nick says that he's only doing it to keep himself sharp in the ring, and that the match will be nothing more than a mere formality. Jim announces that next week, the final week before Wrestlecade III the contract signing for the match will take place in the ring. The Masked Matador takes the mic and states how he's going to win this for Tito, to huge cheers from the crowd.

Nick and Bobby make their way to the ring to a symphony of booing. They're followed by Jim Cornette and The Masked Matador. They sign the contracts then stare down when Jim takes the mic. He says that while Nick may be allowed to call when and against who he can defend the title, he can still decide on the match type and to make sure that there will be no repeat of Rise To Glory the match will be a cage match. Nick and Bobby are furious as the show goes off the air. On Sunday it's Nick Bockwinkel v The Masked Matador in a steel cage to decide the JWA World Heavyweight Champion. Who will be victorious? Order Wrestlecade III to find out!

NWA TV Report WEEK 2 18.03.09



As NWA TV opens there are many many questions on the lips of NWA fans, who have been speculating wildly at the shocking conclusion to our TV show last week.

- What business did WWE owner Mr McMahon have appearing on an NWA TV show? What could his intentions possibly be?
- Who will win the #1 Contenders’ Elimination match between Terry Gordy, Konnan, Tiger Mask and Kensuke Sasaki and go on to face Eddy Guerrero at NWA Fallout?
- Have Mexican legends Konnan and Eddy Guerrero aligned themselves together?
- Who will Michael Hayes name as the third member of the Fabulous Freebirds?


Opening Segment. Mr McMahon seated at desk in NWA Board of Directors Office.



“I suppose you must all be wondering why Vincent Kennedy McMahon is appearing on NWA TV for the second week running. Well ladies and gentlemen the answer is simple. I’m here because I’m a protective man. I protect my assets and interests from anything or anyone that I fear my do harm unto them in any way.

Cast your minds back to 1996. I’m sure you all remember a company called WCW. They posed a threat to me, in fact they very nearly put me out of business altogether. And you all remember what happened then. I took them on, I chewed them up and I spit them out.

I look at the NWA and I see that same desire to suceed that I saw in WCW. I see hungry young talent, I see a growing fanbase and I see the Monday Night Wars happening all over again. But the problem is ladies and gentlemen, I’m an older man now and so much wiser in many ways. I did crush WCW in the 90’s but I’m not afraid to say it damn near killed me. So I’m not going to play all those silly games we played back then. I’ve already bought out number of the NWA ‘s shareholders and own a significant minority holding in this company. But as i said last week, I’m a control freak and I can’t bear to share power with anybody. So I’m here tonight with a very simple message for the NWA board:

Sign over the remaining shares in the NWA to me or the consequences will be dire.

We can do this the easy way or the hard way. Take the easy option and you all retire very rich, very happy men. But if you defy me, if you choose to fight me on this,I will not be helfd responsible for my actions. I will wage a war on the NWA the likes of which the world of professional westling has never been seen before. As you all might have guessed already I sent my son in law and heir to the WWE throne HHH to your last PPV and a warning shot was fired, a flexing of our muscles on our part so to speak. We spilled the blood of your greatest asset, your hero Ricky Steamboat and will have no hesitation in doing so again and again until we have decimated the NWA roster and reduced the company to mer rubble around our feet.

I expect an answer before the end of tonight’s broadcast. Think carefully about your next move.”


Kota Ibushi Hype Video.

A hype video airs with the announcement “THE GREATEST HIGH FLYER IN THE WORLD IS COMING NEXT WEEK” The video shows clips of Kota Ibushi’s incredible high flying feats to whet the appetites of NWA fans for his debut next week. The internet has been abuzz with priase and hype for the young Japanese superstar and NWA is delighted to have signed him to a long-term contract.

Announcement: Round Robin Challenge.



There has been an influx of incredible japanese talent into the NWA in recent weeks. In particular competition in the Junior Heavyweight division has never been stronger. As well as Tiger Mask, El Hijo de Santo and Konnan the NWA has also signed the following incredible talents;

Katsuhiko Nakajima. The protege of Kensuke Sasaki, Nakajima is like a nirror image of a young Sasaki. A hard hitting, no nonsense competitor, Nakajima is ready to make asplash in the NWA and prove that he is the top Junior Heavyweight in the company.

Hiroshi Hase: The experienced Hase is already a legend in Japanese wrestling and is a household name in the country having ben elected to the Japanese Senate in recent years. The list of opponents he has faced and beaten reads like a who’s who of Japanese stars, including Liger and Muta. American fans will be familiar with him from his incredible Tokyo Dome match in 1991 when he tagged with Kensuke Sasaki agaoinst the Steiner brothers in one of the all-time classics of tag wrestling. Hase is determined to cement his legendary status in the NWA and looks forward to putting some of the younger stars of the company back in their place.

Kota Ibushi: This internet sensation is perhaps the NWA’s boldest and most intriguing signing thus far. He is commonly regarded by those in the know as the greatest high flyer in the world today. He literally re-invents the conventional laws of physics every time he steps in the ring. NWA officials firmly believe that they have pulled off a major coup in signing the hottest free agent in n world wrestling from under the noses of WWE, New Japan, All Japan, Pro Wrestling NOAH and Dragon Gate. They feel he will make a similar impact as innovators such as Rey Mysterio and Sabu when they debuted in America in the 90’s. Ibushi himself has gone on record as saying that he intends to eclipse everyone else in the NWA with his dazzling repertoire of high flying moves and establish himslef as the greatest Junior Heavyweight in the world.

Having taken the words of these three thoroughbreds into account NWA officials have decided to hold a “Round Robin Challenge” over the next three weeks on NWA TV. These three wrestlers will face each other in one singles mtach per week and the wrestler with the most wins on the third week will be named the inaugural NWA World Junior Heavyweight Champion!!!

The first match will take place right now!

Match Number 1: Hiroshi Hase Vs Katsuhiko Nakajima

Our opening match pits the brilliant mat work of the experienced technical wizard Hase against the hard-hitting Nakajima in a dream match for fans of Puro everywhere. Both men have been more than a little peeved by the hype surrounding the debut of Kota Ibushi next week and are determined to prove that they will not by eclipsed by the youngster in this tournament. The real beneficiaries are NWA fans who are treated to a classic Junior encounter, with numerous near falls and comebacks by both men. Eventually it is the experience of Hase that just wins out as he capatilises on a moments complacency by the younger man to catch him out with a schoolboy roll-up.

Winner: Hiroshi Hase in 12.30 mins.

Match number 2: Lex Luger (w/ International Alliance partner Nikita Koloff) Vs Repo Man

Clips are aired of events backstage last week where Luger, in a fit of rage over losing his match against Terry Gordy, attacked the defenceless Repo Man and drove him through a table.

This week Repo Man, who has languished in the mid card, hindered by a tired and dated gimmick attempts to avenge this attack. Initially Repo Man’s anger leads him to dominate the arrogant Luger, raking his eyes and stomping him to the gound to the delight of NWA fans who despise Luger for his dastardly alliance with the evil Russian Koloff. However constant distraction from the outside by Koloff leads to the unfortunate Repo succumbing to the vicious Torture Rack.

Winner: Lex Luger in 4.30 mins.

After the match Koloff enters the ring and continues the beatdown on Repo Man. For the second week running he is left humiliated, in a heap outside the ring as once again he is tossed through a ringside table, this time by both men.

Luger takes to the microphone and berates the NWA fans who have booed and cat-called him relentlessly since he made his way to the ring. He brands the locals in-breds and hicks and states that “its little wonder I turned my back on the USA when you toothless yokels are the all this damned country has to offer.” Nikita Koloff then takes to the mic and calls the International Alliance the finest tag team in the NWA and says all other teams are afraid to challenge this powerful superteam.

With this the Tag Team champions’Rock N’ Roll Express’ music hits to a massive ovation. Ricky Morton grabs the mic. If its competition you turncoats want, its competition you’ll get!” With that the bell is rung and our third match , a non-title bout is underway!

Match Number 3: International Alliance Vs Rock N’ Roll Express (Non Title Match)


Vs


After an initial burst of energy from the champions, soon the larger, more physical Alliance takes control of the match. They isolate Gibson in the corner and work him over with stomps and stiff punches while the NWA crowd will him into a comeback. In classic Rock N’Roll Express style Gibson rallies with a sunset flip and rolls to the far side of the ring to get the hot tag to Morton. As Morton runs wild on the villians of the International Alliance, levelling them with dropkicks and top rope dives, however a hooded figure jumps over the guardrail and attacks the popular babyfaces, causing the bell to ring and the match to be declared a no contest!

Match Result: No contest.

Confused by this sudden development, the crowd erupts into a chorus of boos, disgusted at the unwanted interference. In accordance with NWA rules, run ins are ucommon in the company and fans do not kindly to such dastardly tactics.

With that the strains of “Freebird” by Lynard Skynrd erupt from the arena’s loudspeakers and the Fabulous Free birds strut to ringside. Michael Hayes takes the microphone:



“Hey Ricky, Robert! Remember my promise last week!? Well without further ado, let me introduce to you the final piece in the puzzle, the third member of the Fabulous Freebirds. He’s a guy who’s made a career out of kicking your collective asses all over this country, the greatest tag team wrestler of all time, the lynch-pin of the Midnight Express and now a Fabulous Freebird.......BEAUTIFUL BOBBY EATON!!!!”

With that Eaton reveals his face to the shocked Rock N’ Roll Express, who seem stunned that their arch nemesis has come to the NWA and aligned himself with their sworn enemies. The newly formed threesome chase the faces from the ring and motion to their waists their desire to be the next tag team champions as once again thestrains of their anthemic theme tune “Freebird” fills the arena.


Interview Segment: “Charlar con Konnan.” Special Guest: El Hijo del Santo.


Konnan’s special guest this week is the Mexican icon El Hijo del Santo. Konnan is greeted warmly by the crowd, but Santo receives a massive ovation from the knowledgable fans of the NWA who appreciate the chance of seeing a living legend of the business in person. A little surprised by the scale of the ovation, Konnan begins by running down Santo’s incredible list of achievements in the sport and explaining to fans the importance of Santo and and his mask to the people of Mexico. El Hijo del Santo then takes the microphone and expresses how great an honour it is for him to finally wrestle in America and how he is looking forward to pitting his skills against the best that the NWA has to offer. Again the NWA fans rise to greet the superstar as Konnan translates his humble and genuine words.

However before he can finish, Konnan rudely shoves his popular compatriot and addresses the audience:

“You know you people make me sick. For the past 10 years I have come to America and sweated blood to impress you people. I’ve worked for every company in North America, WWE, WCW, ROH, TNA and everywhere I go I’m treated like a comedy guy, a clown, a guy who can churn out a funny catchphrase, or get some other guy over but nothing more than that. And yet this jabroni waltzes in from Tijuana, wrestles one match and you guys treat him like the Messiah! All my life I’ve lived in the shadow of you and your father Santo. When I was drawing 10,000 for AAA at the Azteca Arena, busting my ass in the ring, you were stealing all the headlines wth your B-Rate movies.

*Slowly starting to lose his cool*

“I remember when I was a kid starting out in the business and you were the superstar of lucha libre and I wrestled you in one of my first ever matches. You beat me easily and but I was just happy share to a dressing room with the great El Hijo del Santo, Son of the Saint. I asked you for your autograph that night and told you were my hero, but you didn’t even look me in the eye and thank me for the match I’d given you, you were too busy sucking up to the journalists so they’d give you a good write up in the local papers. And now fast forward 15 years, here I am the greatest pro-wrestling export that Mexico has ever produced, a star of TV and film in my own right, known at home as the “Hulk Hogan of lucha libre.” Yet here I stand STILL in your shadow, holding a microphone for you and translating for you like some bacstage lackey.

*Visibly upset and emotional now *

“Now I’ve had it with you people and your half hearted cheers and faint praise. And more to the point I’ve had it with being your b*tch Santo. This is Konnan’s time to shine, this is MY moment and you, or anyone else will NOT steal it away from me. So tonight, Konnan makes a statement. Not only am i going to win the #1 Contenders bout later this evening, but right now I’m going to do something i should have done a long long time ago in Mexico”

With that Konnan turns towards El Hijo del Santo and viciously strikes him with the microphone. Consumed by his jealousy, he sets upon his compatriot like a rabid dog, tearing his fabled mask into shreds and beating him repeatedly across the forehead with the microphone. It is not long before Santo’s face is concealed not by his famous silver mask, but by a crimson flow of blood from his forehead. The attack is only ended when NWA champion Eddy Guerrero rushes to the ring and restrains his crazed amigo, dragging him kicking and screaming backstage while he repeatedly screams into the microphone “This is my time, this is Konnan’s time!”


Backstage Segment. Repo Man Promo( sitting backstage , staring into a mirror)



“For too long now I’ve languished aimlessly in the mid card of this company. Perhaps it was this lame gimmick, perhaps I’m not the man I used to be, but I’ve become a doormat for every bully in the NWA to walk all over. I’ve been humiliated and thrown through tables like a rag doll. Well that all ends here and now.

*Throws off Repo Man mask*

“Luger, Koloff, I suppose I should thank you, because you’ve awoken something inside me that I’ve not felt for a very long time. A desire to kick some ass, to cause some destruction and anarchy. Its time to go back to basics, to where it all began. Its time to cause some DEMOLITION in the NWA.”

MAIN EVENT : Match Number 4. Elimination Match for the #1 Contendership to the NWA World Title. Konnan Vs Kensuke Sasaki Vs Tiger Mask Vs “Bam Bam” Terry Gordy



Now we have our Main Event of the evening. World champion Eddy Guerrero has joined our commentary team to scout his opponent for NWA Fallout. The match is an elimination match. Competitors can be eliminated by pin-fall, submission, DQ or count out. The fan favourite in this one seems to be Tiger Mask who has endeared himself to the NWA fans after his incredible display in last week’s Main Event. Konnan, who still seems to have a crazed look in his eye is booed mercilessly by the crowd after his jealous atack on his compatriot El Hijo del Santo earlier.

Terry Gordy as a Freebird member is naturally jeered while Kensuke Sasaki is cheered when he makes a beeline for Gordy straight from the bell. Sasaki is still inscenced at Gordy’s interference in his first round match against his partner Micheal Hayes and wastes no time in punishing the super heavyweight with stiff strikes and chops to the chest. Indeed the animosity between these two men seems to increase as the match contiunues and fans delight in the intensity of their exchanges throughout.

The four men battle it out for well over 20 minutes without an elimination in a match highlighting perfectly the various styles on show in the NWA. Tiger Mask, the obvious underdog is at a distinct height and weight disadvatnage but makes light of his lack of size as he uses his speed to avoid his larger opponents and pick them off with well-timed aerial manoeuvers. Konann appears to have awoken a vicious side with his attack on Santo earlier and takes every opportunity to blindside his opponents with sneaky attacks from behind. Sasaki and Gordy cointinue to beat each other to a pulp at every opportunity.

Eventually the animosity between Sasaki and Gordy gets out of hand. After a gruelling five minute chop battle in the centre of the ring, in which neither man backs down and which eventually draws blood from both men’s chests, their brawl spills outside the ring. Consumed by their desire to prove himself the tougher man, the two continue to brawl all over the ringside arena, down the aisle and towards the backstage area. Incredibly they seem more hell bent on destroying each other than their original goal of becoming World Title contenders. Finally, the referee is left with no choice but to count both men out and reluctantly disqualify them from the bout. All the while the two behemoths continue to clash, disappearing behind the curtain locked in conflict like two angry bulls.

This leaves Tiger Mask and Konnan alone in the ring. Konnan continues to draw the ire of the crowd by resorting to nefarious tactics, raking the eyes of the Japanese superstar, pulling at his mask and constantly complaining to the referee. Tiger Mask however, seems inspired by the overwhelming support he is receiving from the paryisan crowd and refuses to lie down, kicking out again and again from Konnans arrsy of finishing manoeuvers. In true underdog style he launches a breathtaking comeback, stunning the Mexican with a flurry of stiff kicks and chops, dumping him squarley on his head with three Tiger suplexes in a row, before pulling off the seemingly impossible win with his reverse pledriver! The crowd reaction to the miraculous win is incredible as the fans rise as won to greet the underdog who has defied all the odds to defeat three larger man and advance to face Eddy Guerrero at NWA:Fallout!!!

Winner and #1 Contender to the NWA Title at Fallout: Tiger Mask!

Guerrero on commentary notes that the dream match that he and Tiger Mask will have at NWA:Fallout is sure to be on e of the greatest bouts in the history of professional wrestling. He praises the heart and passion of the Japanes star and joins the fans in the packed arena in standing and applauding as Sayama stands on the turmbuckles, pointing to Guerrero’s title belt and motioning to his waist.



Closing Segment:

The show closes with all eyes on the big screens in the arena, as the audience awaits with baited breath the answer of the powers that be in the NWA to Vince Mc Mahon’s proposal.

The crowd gasps in amazement and their shock transforms into a massive ovation as the well-recognised face of billionaire Ted Turner appears on the screen!!! This is the first time in the history of the wresting business that Turner has appeared on-screen on a wrestling TV show!!!



“Good evening ladies and gentlemen. Those of you who have followed wrestling for the past few decades will know that it is not in my nature to take part in the on-screen circus that is the world of professional wrestling. I have always been of the opinion that the entertainers should entertain, wrestlers should wrestle and business men like myself should stay in the background and do what they do best and thats business.

You all know of the part I played in the Monday Night War against Vince Mc Mahon. There are many things that occured during that period of my life that I regret. On more than one occasion I lied, and on several occasions I used what I can only describe as despicable tactics to gain the upper hand. Perhaps at the end of the day my losing out in that war was simple case of me getting what I deserved, Karma if you will. For many years afterwards I struggled with my conscience as I pondered how through my own arrogance, ego and greed I had very nearly caused the death of the entire wrestling industry, an industry that I love with all my heart.

So three years ago I had the opportinity to attone for my errors and sins. The National Wrestling Alliance undertook a project whereby they would restore honour to the sordid world of professional wrestling. They undertook to set up a company that would carry out its business in a dignified manner, a company that both fans and wrestkers alike could take deep pride. I had no hesitation in buying into this ideal, contrasting as it did with the sleazy, underhand business that I helped propogate in the mid-1990’s.

So the bottom line is this Vince Mc Mahon. It is I Ted Turner, your greatest rival who is the owner of the majority shareholding in the NWA. Without my shares, your quest for power in this company is futile.

If its an answer you want Vince, its answer you’ll get, but only on my terms.

After all, Vince, I’m the one holding all the aces.

So next week, LIVE on NWA TV, I will be at the Ted Turner arena IN PERSON, to give you your answer face to face!!!”

Screen fades to black, amidst the ecstatic cheers of the NWA faithful.......

OPENING SEGMENT:

The show opens to a dark arena. All that can be heard is the crowd, when suddenly a spotlight lights up a sole figure, standing at the top of the entrance, beneath the Jumbotron. It’s Sgt. Slaughter, proudly holding an American Flag. Sarge walks down the aisle, and enters the ring, he turns, faces the jumbotron and salutes. Stars and Stripes starts to play as the an President’s seal appears onscreen. The seal and music fades as President George W Bush appears.

“My Fellow Americans …” he begins, because of the events at the previous ppv in the World Title Match, Kevin Nash’s win has come into doubt. It seems that there was some interference. So, in the interests of fairness, the title will be held up tonight, so a rematch can take place. Kevin Nash vs Batista, for the WHC title tonight. The crowd roars it’s approval. The Bush’s image fades back to the presidential seal, and Sarge finally lowers his salute.

As Sarge leaves the ring, the women’s tag team champs enter.

MATCH

Bull Nakano takes the mic and roars at the audience in Japanese, nobody understanding a word, but reacting badly and booing her with venom. The challengers are announced and make their way to the ring. While they try to put on a good show, the Japanese Devils are far too much for them and, as they have done to so many already, pound them into the ring. The devils win.


SEGMENT

We cut to an interview segment with Batista, where he is asked about his feelings about the rematch. He indicates he deserved the win last night, but he was unprepared for the interference. After the match he called an old friend to come in and help him out. If anybody can help him, surely it’s the dirtiest player in the game, (Camera pulls out to reveal:) Ric Flair, WOOOO.

Ric Flair lets us know that now he has Batista’s back the animal will be unstoppable.

MATCH
Rellik is announced first, and is led to the ring on a chain leash by Goldust, as he has been for so many months. Upon entering the ring Goldust parades Rellik in front of the audience as if he were a prize pet. Owen Hart’s music plays, and he is accompanied to the ring by Jim Neidhart. Hart and Rellik go at it, trading moves and punches, with Goldust and the anvil watching on. Eventually Hart is able to get the sharpshooter onto Rellik and he is forced to submit. Hart and the anvil celebrate up the aisle. Goldust enters the ring and scolds Rellik, slapping him in the face several times, before attaching the chain to Rellik’s collar and leading him backstage.

SEGMENT
Backstage Owen bumps into Kurt, who has the US title belt around his waist. They face off for a moment. The message clear, these two have unfinished business. But the moment passes and we cut back to the ring

MATCH

A jobber already occupies ring space, Enter Sandman starts blaring, and the crowds start twisting and turning to see where The Sandman is entering from. The match is short, but enjoyable as Sman beats his opponent swiftly. He grabs a mic after the match and warns Neidhart that he doesn’t need help to beat him, and wants another chance to prove it. He also warns Slaughter that nobody interferes in his matches and gets away with ti.

MAIN EVENT

Kevin Nash makes his way to the ring, with Sgt Slaughter and Kurt Angle by his side. The three stand in the ring facing the jumbotron, waiting for Batista to make his entrance. However the Hart Foundation music plays, and they come down the ramp. Owen, Anvil, Teddy, and Jack Evans. They face off against the Patriots for amount. Kurt grabs a mic, and explains that he had expected this, and he had a surprise of his own for owen. Owen looks back up the ramp, expecting someone else to appear … Kurt corrects him though … the surprise is right here in the ring … and with that Teddy Hart and Jack Evans cross the ring, making it clear that they are now with Angle’s team. Before anything else can happen Batista’s music plays. Accompanied by Ric Flair he makes his way to the ring. He’s ready for the match NOW, and forces everyone else out of the ring. With Flair, Owen, Anvil, Teddy & Jack, Angle, and Sarge at ringside the match begins.

Essentially a lumberjack match, it is a back and forth affair for most of the match, until finally Batista is thrown outside and pounced on by Sarge, with that tensions boil over and the a mass brawl ensues. The Brawl continues for several moments, until eventually we see a giant figure making his way to the ring.

It’s ANDRE! He climbs in, slamming, and chokeslamming anyone who gets in his way. While everyone else is either down or busy outside, Andre grabs both Nash and Batista by the neck, and double choke slams them. Flair rolls into the ring holding the title belt and hands it to Andre, then raises his hands as if he had just won the championship match. Fade to black.

Welcome To Episode 3 Of “Wrestlecade III Preview”

In this episode we will learn about how the remaining matches for Wrestlecade 3 came about.

We start of with the 8 man tournament being held each week on Tuesday Night Cooked leading to the finals where the first JWA US-TV Champion will be crowned. The draw for the tournament is as follows:

Ultimo Dragon v Dragon Kid
Shane Douglas v Great Sasuke
Mike Rotunda v Great Muta
Jushin Liger v 2 Cold Scorpio

The first match pitted master against pupil, where in a tight battle where each seemingly knew what the other would do and find a counter for it, Ultimo Dragon picked up the win showing he didn't teach Kid everything he knows just yet.

Before the second match Douglas cut a promo talking about how he ruled in the land of extreme and in the JWA no one would be tough enough to handle him. A tight battle of speed vs strength looked to be heading in Shane's direction with him attacking the knee when an empty wheelchair rolled down the ramp towards the ring, distracting him long enough to allow The Great Sasuke to roll him up for the win.

While not having everything his own way, Muta advanced in the tournament with possibly the easiest win in the opening round over Rotunda, who was obviously struggling to adapt to singles competition after competing in the tag division for so long.

The final match of the opening round was a high flying masterpiece that had the crowd roaring in approval. While Liger got the pin both men stood in the ring afterwords with their arms aloft as the crowd gave a standing ovation.

The first semi final was Ultimo Dragon v The Great Sasuke. The two looked determined to outdo the Liger/Scorpio match when Sasuke's knee injury came back to haunt him, giving Ultimo Dragon the upper hand and eventually the win.

In the second semi was perhaps the two favourites for the tournament, Muta v Liger, and both men held nothing back and battled as if it were the final. After a bruising 20 minutes that began technical but ended in an outright brawl Liger ended up with the win but at what cost?

So there we have it. The final will be between Ultimo Dragon and Jushin Liger.


After his loss in the tournament Rotunda challenged Tag Champions The Von Erichs for the title. He claimed that he deserved first shot at the belt he lost at the previous PPV and while his former partner Ted DiBiase was otherwise engaged he'd find a suitable partner come Wrestlecade 3. The brothers agreed to the match and told him that if he couldn't find a partner the match would go ahead as a handicap match. Just this week it was revealed his partner would be none other than former 5 time World Tag Team Champion Buff Bagwell.


Shane Douglas swore revenge on whoever cost him his chance at tournament glory. After weeks of distractions he learned that it was a recovered Hayabusa, who could walk and compete again, much to the delight of the knowledgeable fans. He chose Shane because he wanted to prove he still had it against the guy that ruled ECW in a No Disqualifications bout at Wrestlecade 3 which Shane accepted immediately, and he promised to cripple him once more for ruining the tournament for him.


It was also announced by GM Jim Cornette that Wrestlecade 3 will kick off with a 4 way elimination match to decide the first number 1 contender for whoever wins the tournament. In the match will be The Great Muta, The Great Sasuke, 2 Cold Scorpio and a mystery opponent who wont be revealed until the PPV.

So there we have it, the card is finalised and looks like this:

Cage Match for the JWA World Heavyweight Championship
Nick Bockwinkel vs The Masked Matador

The Undertaker w/Barack Obama v Ted DiBiase w/Virgil

Tournament Final To Crown First JWA US-TV Champion
Jushin Liger v Ultimo Dragon

World Tag Team Titles
Von Erichs v Mike Rotunda & Buff Bagwell

No Disqualification
Shane Douglas v Hayabusa

Another BWA.com exclusive as we bring you a special online edition of Carlito's Cabana filmed in Atlanta Georgia, at the very last BWA house show in America before returning to England for BWA:Awakening.

(Carlito's Cabana)
Carlito hosts the BWA's first Bikini contest


Carlito says how good it is to have his show back to being his own and not just an excuse to wheel out the newest member of the ever impressive BWA roster, and how he intends to remind everyone just how much fun his Cabana used to be starting right here tonight with a bikini contest between his beautiful girlfriend Trish Stratus and Atlanta's own Lita!

......

After the crowd raction dies down Carlito introduces Trish Stratus first, accompanied to the ring by his friend Eric Perez and the Lita accompaied by Matt Hardy. He then relays the rules of the contest, each women will take it in turn to disrobe and model their bikini's for the crowd, she who gets the biggest crowd reaction will be the winner.

Trish takes the mic and says that this Sunday she will prove she's the best female wrestler in the BWA but tonight she will prove that she is the sexiest women in the BWA also...before removing her robe and puting a huge smile on Carlito's face with her modelling.

Lita retortes by stating to Trish that that little routine may get the canuck lumberjacks goin but that she thinks the good people of Atlanta (cheap pop) have better taste than that before performing her own piece of bikini modelling for her hometown crowd from whom she clearly gets the biggest reaction from.

Carlito states that it is a very tough descision but that he thinks everyone will agree that the winner was...Trish Stratus she begins celebrating as the crowd show their disaproval by booing. another person who disagrees is Matt Hardy who grabs he mic from Carlito, he signals for quiet fromthe crowd but instead of verbally assaulting Carlito over his decision when the booing subsides he instead just calmly turns to Lita and asks are you ready, she replies yes. The second she does he turns and hits Carlito right between the eyes with the microphone. Before Trish or Perez can react both Matt & Lita deliver kicks to their stomach's which sets them up for the dual Twist's of fate that follow.

with Trish, Carlito & Eric Perez all lying in the ring Matt Hardy picks back up the mic and makes a quick statement. He says that he didnt leave his broter and his title behind in the development territories (FWE) to listen to the Garbage spewed on this Cabana every week, that he was here to make an impact starting at Awkening where he challanges Eric Perez to face him as he is the only one of their sorry excuse for a group not already booked in a title match at the PPV all of which he suggests they will lose.

ESPN and Sky Sports News have also been showing the following press conference from Muhammad Ali all day, where he rebuked a number of former wrestling and Boxing star's claims that he has bitten off more than he can chew, taking on someone like Sammartino in his very first professional wresting bout.

NWA TV Report Week 3 15.03.09



This week on NWA TV:



- The eyes of the world will be watching as history will be made tonight, LIVE on NWA TV. For the first time in the history of our great business, the two billionaires who battled for the control of the wrestling world in the 90’s come face to face for the first time!!! The entire future of the NWA is at stake as Ted Turner comes to the NWA to give Mr McMahon his answer in person. Will Turner sign over the NWA and complete the evil McMahon’s stranglehold on the world of pro wrestling?



- Last week Japanese Icon Tiger Mask secured the Number 1 contendership for the NWA Title. This week, we have the contract signing for NWA Fallout where he will challenge Eddy Guerrero for the coveted belt in what promises to be a dream match for the ages!



- The Number One contendership for the NWA Tag Titles could be decided as the Fabulous Freebirds have an opportunity to clinch their third consecutive win in a row and with it a title shot at fallout. Will newest recruit and tag team specialist “Beautiful” Bobby Eaton be the difference maker?



- The violence and tension between New Japan’s IWGP heavyweight Champion Kensuke Sasaki and Freebird “Bam Bam” Terry Gordy that has been coming to boiling point for weeks shows no sign of abating. Last week matters took a turn for the worse as both men went so far as to sacrifice a shot at the NWA Title in order to beat each other to a pulp. This week, Gordy has the opportunity to send a message to Sasaki as he takes on his young protégé Katsuhiko Nakajima in singles action!



- Having been humiliated by the International Alliance for the past number of weeks, last week saw an apparent change in attitude for Barry Darsow. Having shed the Repo Man gimmick, Darsow is now demanding respect and plans to beat it into of Alliance member Nikita Koloff in singles action tonight. What type of “Demolition” does Darsow have in store for Koloff?



- Our round Robin Challenge for the new NWA Junior Heavyweight title continues apace as the massively-hyped Japanese superstar Kota Ibushi makes his US debut tonight!



- The people of Mexico have been aghast for the past seven days at the actions of Konnan last week. Consumed by his jealousy for Mexican Icon El Hijo del Santo, Konnan left his compatriot blooided and his mask torn to shreds in an unprovoked assault. Inches of newspaper columns and TV News stories in Mexico have been filled with this shocking news. Fans have been demanding that this issue be settled in the ring at NWA Fallout in a first time ever match up!! Expect an announcement tonight!



Earlier Today: A limousine is shown pulling up to the Ted Turner Arena. Vince McMahon, owner of WWE and possibly the man who runs the NWA by the end of tonight is seen emerging. He is accompanied by his heir apparent and son-in-law HHH, appearing on NWA TV for thye first time since his heinous attack on Ricky Steamboat at NWA Breakout.


Opening Segment: Contract Signing for the NWA World Heavyweight Title:

Both participants in the Main Event at NWA Fallout are introduced to the ring. Both wrestlers are firm fan favourites and receive a tumultuous ovation to the ring. Tiger Mask in particular has caught the imagination of NWA fans since his debut, consistently having the best match of the night on NWA TV and showing that he thrives as an underdog and in adversity. The internet has been abuzz for the past week with hype for this match at Fallout. Internet fans have been speculating that this match will easily be Match of the Year in any wrestling promotion. Both these wrestlers have a stryle that complements the other perfrctly. Guerrero's greatest matches have come againts smaller, high flying opponents, while Tiger Mask has always excelled in matches against agile light heavyweights like Guerrero.

Respected journalist Dave Meltzer had this to say when discussing the match a few days previously:

"Guerrero/Tiger mask promises to be a match for the ages and I expect nothing less than 5 stars from these tremendous competitors. Before the match even takes place I have it nailed on as my Match of the Year! In fact, at the moment the NWA is the hottest property in professional wrestling, with the Ted Turner/Vince McMahon storyline grabing mainstream news headlines across the world, incredible pure wrestling matches like Guerrero/Tiger Mask, the finest tag division on North America, the lucha libre feud of the decade between Konnan and El Hijo del Santo and well-written, old fashioned simple to understand storylines. If you haven't tuned in yet, you're missing out."

Prior to signing the contract, Guerrero takes to the microphone. he expresses his admiration for Tiger Mask and says that he has set the bar higher than ever in the NWA. He says that Tiger Mask has inspired him to train harder than ever before and made him even more determined to put on a spectacular match at NWA Fallout. He offers his hand in mutual sign of respect to the Japanese superstar. Sayama gratefully accepts and the two men embrace in the ring. With the cheers and applause of the NWA faithful ringing in their ears, both incredible atheletes sign the contract and our Title match for NWA Fallout is officially set an match that will undoubtedly be based on mutual respect between two on the finest athletes on the planet!





Match Number 1. NWA Junior Heavyweight Title Round Robin Challenge, Match #2. Kota Ibushi Vs Hiroshi Hase



The second match up in our unique Junior Title series pits the debuting Kota Ibushi against wily mat wrestler and New Japan legend Hiroshi Hase. the debut of the spectacular Ibushi has been hyped and built for weeks with tantalising hype vidoes and clips of his amazing skills. Finally NWA fans have the chance to see this most spectacular of high flyers live and in operson and he certainly does not disappoint on his debut! Ibushi seems determoined that his US debut live long in the memory as he goes all out to impress right from the bell. he draws gasps from the audience as he sprinboards effortlesly from the top rope onto his opponent, outside the ring he uses the guardrail to springboard into a moonsault into the crowd, back inside the ring he employs standing moonsaults, a standing 630 degree pheonix splash and even has the audacity to double moonsault after hase rolls out of the way of a conventional moonsault. Indeed Hase appear the perfcet opponent for ibushi to display his incredible skilss and proves a worthy ally, pushing the youngster all the way, countering many of his most spectacular moves, having obviously scouted his work beforehand. Eventually however Ibushi is able to take the win with a springboard pheonix splash. After the match he receives a standing ovation from the capacity crowd and it appears as if the NWA has yet another hot talent on their hands.


Winner: Kota Ibushi in 9.37 minutes by Pinfall.


Backstage Segment: Former Repo Man Barry Darsow is shown backstage sitting at a mirror, slowly applying facepaint like a warrior about to embark onto the battlefield.



Match Number 2. "Bam Bam" Terry Gordy(w/ Michael Hayes and Bobby Eaton) Vs Katsuhiko Nakajima



This match up stems from the increasingly violent feud that has simmered between Gordy and IWGP Heavyweight champion Kensuke Sasaki. Word has it that Sasaki has warned Nakajima not to return backstage until he has inflicted as much pain as is physically possible on Gordy. The fiery young Japanese star starts off determined to impress his mentor as he lights up Gordy's face and chest with his trademark stiff kicks, chops and punches. As has often been commented upon, his no-nonsense style is reminiscent of a younger, but no less effective version of Sasaki himself. However, Gordy soon gains the upper hand on his noticeably smaller opponent, trapping him in the corner and bringing him to his knees with his trademark pnches to the face and body. The plucky Nakajima relentlessly comes back again and again, determined that his mentor's honour be upheld. However he is no match fro the giant super-heavyweight who shows no mercy whatsoever in beating him down again and again.

It is not long before the outcome of the bout is beyond a doubt, but it seems that Gordy has no interest in ending the fight there. He ties Nakajima up in the ropes and blasts him repeatedly with chops to the chest. Despite the pleading of the referee to end the match, Gordy strikes him again and again drawing blood from his chest, until finally Sasaki emerges from the backstage area to rescue his protege! However his route to the ring is blocked by the other Fabulous Freebirds who circle the ring like vultures, preventing the irate Sasaki from making the save. Michael Hayes takes to the microphone, the brains and voice behind the loathsome group as ever:

"You can rant and rave all you like Mr Sasaki, but it ain't gona do you no good whatsoever. Just like we always do, the Fabulous Freebirds have the numbers on ya baby! I realise that you Asian boys are all about honour and respect and that may be well and good in China or Singapore, or whatever rat infested backwater you came from, but over here, you play by OUR rules and the Freebirds couldn't give a rat's ass about honour and repect. So I'm gonna say this nice and clearly, nice and slow, 'cos I realise you ain't got much English swimmin' around that thick head of yours. The only thing we honour and respect about you is the title belt you hold. So its like this boy, you either put that IWGP title on the line at Fallout against Brother Terry, or your little buddy there in the ring ain't gonna walk outa this arena, he's gonna be poured out. Show him Terry."


With that Gordy viciously attacks the defenceless Nakajima, blasting him with a flurry of punches and chops as his head rolls back sickeningly at their sheer force. Distraught, Sasaki again tries to save his young friend, but again Hayes and Eaton repel his best efforts. Eventually he has no choice but to accede to the demands of the bullies and signals that Gordy can have his title match at Fallout. Delighted that his demands have been met, Gordy tosses Nakajima like a rag doll out of the ring, where Sasaki picks him up and carries him backstage, tears of fury and concern burning at his eyes.





Match Number 3: Barry Darsow Vs Nikita Koloff (w/ Lex Luger)



Koloff and Luger are first out to the ring, the boos of the NWA faithful ringing as ever in their ears. Darsow is out next, but the audience is surprised and delighted to see that he has a brand new look for the occasion. Gone is the lame Repo Man gimmick, gone are the silly catchphrases and lame comedy, and in its place is Darsow's old Demolition gimmick, complete with facepaint. He is announed as Barry Darsow initially but he then interrupts and grabs the microphone:

"The days of Barry Darsow slumming it in the mid card are over, the days of Repo man getting his ass kicked by these two knuckleheads are gone. I promised you people a new outlook and by God you're going to get it. So from now on, you can call me Smash, and Nikita Koloff, you're first in line for a smashin'! Ring the goddamn bell!"

The crowd reacts with delight at the return of a gimmick that was always a crowd favourite. Smash lives up to his name, taking the fight to Koloff right from the bell. Despite the best efforts of the evil Russian and despite the best efforts of Luger on the outside to distract the referee, Smash is not to be denied on his return to thr ring and he takes the three count with a scoop slam, followed by a throat first flapjack onto the top rope.



Match Winner: Smash by Pinfall after 7.58 minutes

Having exerted a modicum of revenge on the men who have tormented him for the past few weeks, Smash prepares to accept the adulation of the capacity crowd. Before he can, however, the jealous International Alliance proceed to beat him down yet again. Despite a valiant resistance, he is once again left laying in the ring as first Luger locks in the Torture Rack and then Koloff locks on the bearhug.



Match Number 4: The Fabulous Freebirds (Michael Hayes and "Beautiful" Bobby Eaton) Vs Tiger Mask and El Hijo del Santo



VS



This match sees the Freebirds attempt to win the Number 1 contendorship for the NWA tag Titles. According to NWA rules any team that wins three tag matches in succession is entitle to a shot at the titles. The Freebirds are currently sitting on 2 wins and victory tonight will guarantee them a title match at NWA Fallout. The wily Michael Hayes has invoked a clause he inserted in the Freebirds' contract when they initially signed with the company. In keeping with the old "Freebird rules" that the group had employed elsewhere, Hayes has ensured that any duo from their three members can represent the group in tag team competetion and if they do manage to win the tag titles i the future, any two members can defend them. The NWA board is not best pleased at this clause which gives the Freebirds a distinct advantage over their opponents and has put the strongest possible team in their way to ensure that Hayes' dastardly scheme does not become a reality. El Hijo del Santo and Tiger Mask are a dream paring for fans all and by paring them the NWA is creating an interesting piece of wrestling history. Certainly the Freebirds will have their work cut out in defeating these world famous superstars.

The early part of the match sees some unusual behaviour on the part of El Hijo del Santo. He seems reluctant to spend any great amount of time in the ring and tags in Tiger Mask at every opportunity. The match proceeds with Tiger Mask doing much of the wrestling, with Santo a spectator on the ring apron for the majority of the time. The crowd seems confused by the behaviour of their Mexican idol who has forged a worldwide reputation as a fearless, honourable wrestler, unwilling to back down from any fight. Essentially, Tiger mask is forced to wrestle a handicap match and soon, the Freebirds begin to double team and dominate him expertly, cuttting off the ring like the experienced tag team technicians they are. At one stage Tiger Mask escapes the clutches of the freebirds and dives in desperation his teammates corner, reaching in obvious pain for the tag to save himself. Santo however simply stands on the ring apron and ignores his teammate, making no effort at entering the match. With his teammate seemingly unwilling to defend him, it is not long before Tiger Mask is defeated and the Freebirds disappear backstage ever the opportunists, naturally delighted at picking up such an unexpectedly easy win.

Back in the ring, both the crowd and Tiger Mask are confused and disgusted by the uncharacteristic behaviour of El Hijo del Santo. What would motivate such a normally honourable man to behave in such a cowardly manner towards a man he has no problem with? Naturally enraged, Tiger Mask shoves Santo, demanding to know what he could have been thinking.

All becomes clear however, as El Hijo del Santo removes his famous mask, revealing not the lucha libre legend, but Tiger Mask's opponent at NWA Fallout, Eddy Guerrero!!!! With the outraged boos of the NWA faithful ringing in his ears, Guerrero takes the microphone in hand, a familiar sly, conniving smile on his face:




"Guess what man, I LIIIEEEED!!!! Tiger Mask, Holmes, did you really believe my little act earlier tonight? All that crap about how honoured I am to face you, how impressed I am with you? You must be as stupid as that mask you wear, holmes! I'm Eddy Gory Guerrero, I lie and I cheat my way through life, I get by in any way that I have to. Let this be a lesson to you Tiger Mask, never, EVER trust a Guerrero.

You see Sayama, I'm everything that you are not. You forget that when I wrestled in Japan, I went by the name Black Tiger, because the Japanese people could see just what type of man I really was. We're polar opposites in just about every way possible. You're a man who prides himself on purity of heart, of honour and decency. But me? My heart is as black as coal and as cold as the hand of death. At NWA Fallout, you're not wrestling any ordinary man, you're wrestling a man who'll go to whatever lengths he has to to keep that NWA world title. I would lie cheat and steal from my own mother if it meant keeping that title, so you can only imagaine what I'm going to do to you holmes!"

With that, Guerrero sneakily kicks Tiger Mask in the groin and hits him with a Frog Slash from the top rope. Kneeling beside his foe with an evil look on his face, he screams into the microphone, addressing the fans in attendance "Oh, and if you want to know where El Santo has gotten to, you might want to take a look at the big screen, my hombre Konnan has a little message for you all!"



Backstage Segment: Konnan stands over an unconscious El Hijo del Santo.

Segment is aired around the live arena on the big screens.



"Finally the world is watching Konnan! Finally people are realising that Konnan isn't just a funny catchphrase or a joke. FINALLY the American people are taking me seriously. I may have had to resort to extreme violence but now everyone wants to hear what Konnan has to say. Well what Konnan has to say is simple. I am sick and tired of living in the shadows, of being underappreciated and holding the microphone for the likes of the man who lies helpless at my feet. Now is MY time to shine and my time to make history.

And speaking of making history, at NWA Fallout, the rejuvenation of Konnan will be complete. At NWA Fallout I challenge this man to the oldest match in the lucha libre tradition. 2 out of 3 falls, Mascara contra Caballero, Mask Vs Hair. I want the mask of Santo, for if I take the mask of Santo, Konnan will never live in the shadows again!"





Backstage Segment: Ted Turner arrives to the arena in his limousine and walks purposefully into the building. Turner is set to appear live on NWA TV for the first time in history later tonight!!!


Backstage Segment. Smash is backstage. He cuts an intense promo directly into camera. “Looks like the International Alliance is playing the numbers game yet again. Its time for me to make a call I should have made a long long time ago. Its time I brought in some back up from the old Demolition yard…”



Match Number 5. Main Event: Non Title Match Rock n Roll Express (NWA World Tag team Champions) Vs Eddy Guerrero (NWA World Champion) and Konnan





NWA officials have fixed this main event as punishment for the actions of Guerrero and Konnan earlier tonight and in response to requests from the Rock N’ Roll Express for a match up against the very best opposition possible as a warm up for their title defence at Fallout. The match itself is a fast paced, high flying encounter, with the initiative switching back and forth between both incredibly talented duos. Morton and Gibson are the clear crowd favourites, with Guerrero and Konnan in particular incurring the wrath of the live crowd for their despicable attacks on Tiger Mask and El Hijo del Santo earlier tonight. Konnan’s influence over Guerrero is profound and we are left in no doubt that he is a dramatically changed man from the wrestler who so emotionally claimed the NWA title at NWA Breakout. Gone is the happy smile, the humorous playing up to the crowd and in its place a sly conniving Guerrero, bending the rules at every opportunity, switching places in the ring with Konnan behind the behind the referee’s back and generally testing his patience by refusing to obey rope breaks. It is obvious to all in attendance that the turning point in this change in attitude on Guerrero’s part was the formation of his alliance with the deranged Konnan.

The finish of the match is ruined due to interference by the dastardly Fabulous Freebirds who waste no time in softening up the Tag champs in advance of their huge title match at Fallout. For several minutes the popular duo are outnumbered 5 on 2 as Konnan and Guerrero gleefully join the Freebirds in attacking the tag champs. The save is made to a massive pop from the crowd as the furious Tiger Mask and the equally irate Kensuke Sasaki rush to ringside and rescue the fallen champs. With the Freebirds and the Mexican duo on the outside, Tiger Mask, Sasaki, Morton and Gibson bring the crowd to their feet with a series of spectacular dives from the ring onto their enemies on the floor, each dive more death defying than the last! With the heels scattered in disarray at ringside, they beat a hasty retreat to the back and the faces return to the ring to the acclaim of the crowd. As each week passes before NWA Fallout, matters are becoming more and more intense in the NWA and tensions are running at an all-time high!

Result: No Contest after 19.30 minutes.

In immediate response to the chaotic brawl we have just witnessed, NWA officials have signed a massive 10 man tag match for next weeks final TV show before NWA Fallout. It will be The Fabulous Freebirds/Konnan and NWA Champion Eddy Guerrero vs Tag Team Champions The Rock N’ Roll Express/Kensuke Sasaki/ Tiger Mask and El Hijo del Santo! This promises to be the biggest, most hate-filled slug-fest in NWA TV history, intertwined as it is with several rivalries that will ultimately be settled at NWA Fallout!



Closing Segment. Mc Mahon and Turner meet face to face!

Our closing sequence begins as Vince Mc Mahon makes his way to the ring, drawing the ire of the NWA faithful with his cocky smile and familiar, over the top swagger. Wasting little time he takes the microphone in hand.



“Before we get down to the real business of the evening, I think it is only appropriate that I personally introduce to the ring a man that has been more of a son to me than my own flesh and blood, a man that is the epitome of what a professional wrestler should be, a man who one day soon will inherit the world of professional wrestling from myself and the man who at my bidding ended the career of your fallen hero Ricky Steamboat at NWA Breakout. Ladies and gentlemen, please show your adoration and appreciation for the Game, the King of Kings, HHH!!!”

HHH slowly strolls to the ring, his trusty sledgehammer casually leaning on his shoulder in an obvious reference to his attack on Steamboat at the last NWA PPV. The crowd is near to the point of riot at this stage, incensed that Helmsley would have the nerve to show his face in the NWA again after his appalling act only a few short weeks ago. Taking the microphone he has some mocking words for the fans of the NWA:

“You inbred Southern hicks can flap your gums and cuss and holler all you like, not one of you is man enough to get into this ring and back his words up. You see, that’s the difference between people like you, and people like Vince McMahon and I. People like myself and Vince are go-getters. What we set out to do in life, we invariably get done. What we want we take, just like we’re about to take control of the NWA. If an obstacle stands in our path, we take it out no questions asked, just like we eliminated your hero Ricky Steamboat at NWA Breakout. People like you however, well you people just sit in your trailer all day guzzling cheap beer and moaning about how the world’s been so cruel to you, how its not your fault you married your cross eyed sister and its not your fault your rotten kids are even uglier than you are, even if they did inherit their mommas one good eye! And that’s why I’m only too happy to stand here tonight and laugh my ass off as Vince makes history yet again and takes your beloved NWA and crushes it in your own backyard.

In fact before the serious business of the night begins, I brought along a little videotape from Monday Night RAW this week which I’m sure you will find equally as hilarious as I did. Roll the footage!”

A video tape from WWE Monday Night RAW this past week airs on the big screen around the arena. The footage shows Mc Mahon and HHH in the ring openly mocking Ted Turner similar to the way he mocked him years ago during the Monday Night Wars. A midget is brought to the ring dressed up as Turner. Turner is depicted as a geriatric Southern drunken buffoon and Helmsley and McMaho mock him over his failed marriages and the fact that Mc Mahon put him out of business. The tastless charade ends with McMahon forcing the midget to join the Kiss my Ass Club, amidst howls or derision from the NWA crowd who are used to a more wrestling-oriented TV show than the puerile, sophomoric, self-indulgent humour of McMahon and his WWE product.

McMahon and Helmsley’s howls of laughter back in the NWA ring are interrupted suddenly as Ted Turner emerges from backstage, a microphone in hand. Judging by his grim expression and determined stride, he means business.



Turner enters the ring and comes face to face with Vincent Kennedy McMahon for the first time in history on a wrestling TV broadcast. History is indeed being made before our very eyes!. The atmosphere tingles with electricity and the tension hangs thickly in the air as Turner speaks;

“Vincent Kennedy Mc Mahon. I wish I could say it’s a pleasure to finally make your direct acquaintance, but then I’d be lying and that’s one thing I don’t do anymore.

Cast your mind back to 1988, Vince. A young hungry Ted Turner had just purchased the flagging Jim Crockett Promotion, the company that I would later transform into WCW. In my enthusiasm and in my incredible naivety, I remember calling you on the day I sealed the deal. I remembered how your father Vince Mc Mahon Snr had co operated with the territories back when he ran the WWF and I figured that you and I could do the same, that there was room at the top of the business for more than one ambitious millionaire. Alas, being nothing like the gentleman your father was, you slammed the phone down on me and left me in no doubt that you considered me a rival and an enemy. On that day you drew a line in the sand and you defined our relationship as one based on hatred, disrespect and one-upmanship ever since.

Now here we are Vince, 20 long years have passed. I can’t speak for you, but I’m an older wiser man than the one who did his damndest to run you off the airwaves back in the 90’s. We both know that I came within inches of putting you out of business forever and many of the things I did back then I’m not proud of. Last week you said that you’re too old to wage another war and perhaps for the first time in my life I agree with you. This time Vince, things are going to be different. Not you understand because I want them to be, but because for all our sakes they HAVE to be.

*The crowd reacts with a sharp intake of breath to Turner's words and a cocky arrogant smile spreads across the face of Mc mahon.

“Well Ted, I’m glad and not a little surprised that you agree with me. Its good to see that in your old age you’ve finally learned some sense and learned your place in the world. I’m sure our solicitors can come to a swift agreement over this shareholding and we can all put this sorry mess behind us. You can retire to your ranch a rich and happy man and Vincent Kennedy Mc Mahon can continue his domination of the wrestling universe!

*Turner interrupts

“I think you misunderstand me Vince. When I say things will be different this time, what I mean is there’s no chance in hell, to quote your own theme tune that I’m losing out to you again!

Lets face facts for once and for all Vince. I don’t believe for one minute you consider the NWA a threat to your control of the wrestling industry, nor do I belive that you think controlling the NWA will help you achieve that aim. No, Vince, what this invasion is about is simple, its about Ted Turner and Vince McMahon. For years you’ve been obsessed with me, despite the fact that our differences have long since been settled. Not content with winning the Monday Night War, I still hear you interviewed a decade later and you still insist on dragging my name through the mud. Ten long years since you bought me out of WCW, you’re still paranoid and still bitter that I had the temerity to challenge you and stand up to your dominance. And for years now I have held my peace. I have risen above the silly skits on RAW, the sideways barbs in interviews and in short I’ve turned the other cheek. I swore I would never demean my self or my family like you have done and made myself an on-air pawn in a silly ratings war that got way out of hand.

That was however until now Vince. For now you’ve strutted into my home town, into MY arena, I front of MY people, you’ve tried to ruin my PPV and you have the sheer gall and arrogance to think that Ted turner would just lie down and be your doormat.

You leave me with no choice in the matter, Vince. If it’s a war you want, by God it’s a war you will get. But remember this and remember it well Vince: You beat me once fair and square, but Ted Turner has never, or never will be beaten a second time!”

*Slaps Vince across the face amidst a collective intake of breath from the audience, followed a millisecond later by an insanely loud pop!

The audience’s joy is short-lived however. HHH, who has been prowling in the background throughout grabs Turner from behind and sets him up for the Pedigree. Just as he is about to drive the older man to head first to the canvas and surely cripple him for life however, the crowd erupts in a massive ovation as Ricky Steamboat’s familiar theme tune fills the arena! Steamboat rushes the ring, armed like HHH with a sledgehammer, the very weapon that has sidelined him for several weeks! Mc Mahon and HHH scatter from the ring, shocked that the man they thought they had put out of action permanently has returned.



As the screen fades to black to end the show, Steamboat and Turner triumphantly stand tall in the ring, holding each others hands aloft, as the audience raises the roof with huge chants of "NWA" and "Welcome Back!!!”

Opening Segment:

Ric Flair is in the ring with his client, Andre The Giant, who has the World Heavy Weight title on his shoulder. The crowd boo them roundly. Flair explains that as Andre is in possession of the belt he is declaring himself the new champion, he is the man. WOOOOOO.

But Kevin Nash interrupts, making his way down the aisle (accompanied by Sgt Slaughter, Teddy Hart, and Jack Evans) he explains that as his hand was raised at the last ppv he should be recognised as the champion. Nash enters the ring, and faces off with Andre, as Sarge circles around them.

All of a sudden a rake of fire works goes off, and out walks Batista. The crowd goes crazy for him. The animal reminds Nash that the board of directors held up the title because of interference, and tells Andre and Flair that possession means nothing. Batista is the only true champion, and by the end of the next ppv, the title will be in his hands.

MATCH

The Devils of Japan (women’s tag champs) make their way to the ring to square up against a womens tag team. Bull and Dump make short work of their opponents, subjecting them to a brutal offence, continuing it after the bell sounds. After the match Bull (holding both her tag championship belt, and women’s championship belt) takes a mic and complains about the lack of opposition in the promotion. Since winning the belts 4 months ago they have faced and defeated every woman of substance there is.

But as she speaks we see a pair of women emerge from the crowd ….. it’s singing sensations and former champions Lioness Asuka and Chigusa Nagay … aka The Crush Gals. The gals hit the ring and attack the devils, seeking revenge for the injuries they cause 4 months ago in their last match. Bull and Dump retreat up the ramp, while Lioness and Nagay mount the turnbuckles to the cheers of their supporters.

We are told the Main event will feature Kurt Angle and the Patriot Foundation (Teddy Hart and Jack Evans) against Owen Hart, and two partners.

SEGMENT

US Champion Kurt Angle is backstage with the Patriot Foundation. Kurt officially welcomes to the Patriots, and congratulates them on becoming citizens. The trio then run down the last two members of the Hart foundation, telling how they will beat Owen, Jim, and who ever their mystery partner is.


MATCH

Goldust and Sargent Slaugther face off in the second of tonights matches. Goldust makes his way, bringing Rellik down with him on a leash. As Goldust enters the ring he ties Rellik to the ring post, strokes his face, and tells him to stay. Rellik sits on the ring steps.

Sarge makes his way to the ring carrying an American flag. He sneers at Rellik as he makes his way into the ring, setting the flag up on top of the ring post opposite Rellik.

Dust and Sarge have a terrific brawl, each giving it their best. During the match Sandman strolls down to the ring, sipping a beer, and carrying a kendo stick. Sandman joins the commentary team and proceeds to trash Slaughter. Sarge isn’t pleased having Sandman at the commentary desk and tries to keep one eye on him. However, Goldust takes advantage of the distraction and clobbers Sarge, then hitting the Shattered Dreams, dustin pins sarge for the win.

As Goldust exits the ring and returns up the ramp with Rellik, Sandman enters the ring and empties a can of beer onto the prone Sgt.


SEGMENT
Jim Neidhart is found backstage, unconscious, by Owen Hart. An ambulance is called and Owen vows revenge.

Match

Batista takes on Rellik. Rellik makes his way to the ring on his own, we are told that goldust is resting backstage after his victory. Batista enters the ring and the match begins. Rellik gets in some impressive offence, but is eventually beaten by the Animal. Batista celebrates in the ring to the delight of his fans as Rellik makes his way up the ramp. Goldust suddenly appears at the top of the ramp, he beckons Rellik over, and spits in his face, followed by an open handed slap. Goldust berates Rellik as Batista watches on bemusedly, when all of a sudden Rellik rises up and gives an almighty shove to Goldust, who falls off the edge of the ramp landing on a table below.

Segment
The anvil is bundled into the back of an ambulance, as a crew member tells Owen it’s ring time. Owen swears and heads to the ring.

Match

Kurt Angle and the Patriot Foundation make their way to the ring, and wait for Owen. The three of them laugh as Owen makes walks up to the ring alone. But halfway up the aisle he stops. Looking at Kurt Angle, he lets a smile creep across his face. Owen’s music stops, and some new music begins, and a pair of men make their way towards him. It’s the CAN AM Connection, Phil La Fon and Doug Fournas. Just in from Japan.

The smiles quickly leave the Patriots face. A great technical match is had by all 6 until finally Owen pins Jack Evans. The patriots may not have been properly prepared for who they were facing. The show ends as Owen and the Can Am Connection celebrate.

The Volt

23,000 sellout here in Greenwich, Connecticut. Stephanie McMahon arrives to a huge ovation. She declares that 'Wrestlemania' is an outdated term and that something newer is needed. With that, the arena goes dark for a few seconds. Eventually a sign is lowered in place of the Wrestlemania sign, fireworks coincide.

Stephanie explains the new role of the Intercontinental Championship. She deems that the owner of the title after Conclusion will be the No. 1 Contender for the belt. She announces the opening of a tournament that will see Marc Mero defend the belt at Conclusion against the winner.
As usual, she is interrupted by John Cena. He states that Stephanie can talk the main show of the year up all she wants but it's still ultimately going to be an anti-climax due to the fact that he's going to waltz to victory. Cena says he has taken his untouchable status to a higher level than ever thought due to his new found friends. RTC enter the arena to horrid taunts from the crowd. The trio approach the ring. Stephanie responds by saying that she will not allow conservative, boring, ugly bullies dictate the grandest stage of them all and that it is not about what Cena wants, but what the fans want. Stephanie announces that WWE Conclusion's main event stipulation will be decided tonight by the winner of a 6-man tag team match. Cena and his new found buddies will be squaring off against Harley Race and two partners of his choice in tonight's main event. Stephanie exits on the note that Cena's destiny is NOT in his own hands after all.

The next segment sees King and JR announce the competitors in the IC title hunt. Kane will square off against Chavo Guerrero while Shelton Benjamin will take on the ever determined DDP.

Match One: Kane vs. Chavo Guerrero (w/ Corporal Cajun)

Chavo makes his way to the ring with an apparently injured team mate. Kane gains an advantage quickly though, nailing the trademark Sidewalk slam for a close two count. With Conclusion firmly in his sights he is distracted by Cajun's presence on the ring apron, Kane throws him in to the ring. Kane looks reborn, nailing both with huge big boots before hitting a double chokeslam. Kane then points to the Conclusion sign and Tombstones Chavo for the 3 count. Things finally seem to be going his way as he celebrates a long overdue victory.


Backstage there seems to be a large amount of commotion over the fate of the Women's title match at Conclusion. A boardroom meeting is taking place between a few unknown executives and Victoria & Jacqueline. Suddenly, in bursts Bull Buchanan and The Goodfather. They say that a woman's place is not in the squared circle. Of course this sets the the girls off into an unholy rant, only silenced by the purely random arrival of The Nasty Boys. The suits' shouts to restore order to the boardroom are drowned out by Johnny Grunge declaring his want for some 'Nastiness'. Bull Buchanan says that if they weren't already booked for a match tonight that they'd gladly put give them their wish of nastiness but that they'd ultimately be on the wrong end of things. With that, Stephanie arrives in, saying she has a headache with all of this. She reminds RTC that their boss is infact a woman and that they should watch their mouths, furthermore she ensures the divas that their talents will not go to waste, stating that they will have one final chance to prove their worth next week before Conclusion. She adds that RTC and the Nasty Boys can settle this 'Nasty' arguement next week in a Tag Team, Parking Lot Brawl.
As they split up, Harley Race approaches The Nasty Boys, saying that he overheard of their unhappiness with the presence of the RTC. He says that no one more than he is worried about how their presence will affect his ultimate goal. Tonight he has a chance to gain an advantage over Cena in the road to Conclusion and to do that he needs a formidable tag team to do so. No team other than the Tag Team Champions can help him attain that. They gratiously accept, saying that this victory will be a victory for the WWE Universe, Conclusion and Liberty overall.

Match Two: Shelton Benjamin (w/ LT Taylor) vs. Diamond Dallas Page

It is a given that all WWE superstars are talented people but rarely do we see two warriors with so much technical brilliance do battle. Sheltons ally in LT Taylor balances out DDP's determination and ring awareness. This match sees two superstars go at it, each deserving a place on the grandest stage of them all. Reversal after reversal sees LT Taylor on the apron, Shelton accidentally charges in to him, leaving DDP finally able to plant the Diamond Cutter for the 3-count.


Pre-Main event hype is building and John Cena is standing by with Kevin Kelly:
KK: John with only two weeks to go until Conclusion, you could gain a huge advantage by picking the stipulation. Your thoughts?
Cena: Stephanie McMahon thinks that I don't control my destiny. NO ONE, only me, John Cena, WWE Champion, The Untouchable one can dictate my destiny.
KK: This 6-man tag team match is surely going to be a free-for-all, you can easily lose this match without getting pinned.
Cena: *draws blank*
KK: John?...
*Cena uppercuts Kevin Kelly and walks off screen*

Match 3: WWE Champion John Cena, Bull Buchanan & RTC vs. Harley Race & WWE Tag Team Champions, The Nasty Boys

This unpredictable match provides fabulous entertainment. With things looking bleak for Team Race, Grunge is cornered by Bull who is constantly tagging in Goodfather. Out of nowhere, an enziguiri catches Bull, Grunge then ducks out of a charge from The Goodfather, sending him straight into a flying clothesline from Rocco. With that, Grunge tags in the No.1 Contender and all hell breaks loose. Inevitably it comes down to Cena and Race, they exchange blows. A Belly to Belly suplex seems to sway it Race's way, The Nasty Boys have seen to the RTC and Race is signalling the end. Race goes for a piledriver but Cena manages to toss Race over, sending him into the referee's path in the process. With the referee out of the equation it's still anybody's game. RTC and The Nasty Boys have really made this personal, still giving it their all on the outside. The two in the ring stumble to their feet, the crowd are going crazy and sense something about to happen. As they lock horns again, Race once again gets the upper hand. This time he looks set for the piledriver. He is this time distracted by fireworks from the titantron. Music begins playing. No one is quite sure who it is but whoever it is has a dark shroud over his head and is easily 6'7. The music playing is Zeppelin's Immigrant Song, never before used so that's given nothing away. Eventually the figure looks up and there is Big John Studd.
JR: This man, not known for technical skills, but brute strength and lack of compassion for his fellow man!

BJS boots The Nasty Boys out of the way, the bell well rung at this stage. He leaves Cena and Race both decimated with huge powerbombs, he's clearly been practicing.

JR ends the show with: WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR CONCLUUUSION??!!!?? OH MY GOD!!

Mr.Nice Guy

Week 1 show here.

Week 2 show here.

Week 3 show here.

Week 4 show here.

This week's MNG show comes live from Seattle, Washington.

Before the show began it was announced that tonight's main event would be a huge 10 man tag team match featuring Jake Roberts, Bam Bam Bigelow, Shane McMahon, Santino and Nunzio taking on the team of The Rock, Big Show, Mr T, Hurricane and Rosey. Also announced was a Santino's Casa segment involving Chyna, plus Muhammad Hussan vs Junkyard Dog.

Shane was seen speaking with Jake and told him he'd good news for him. He also revealed he had a plan to make Rock pay for last week. Jake said he better have as he wasn't happy Shane didn't come to his aid.

The show kicks off with pyro as we are now just one week away from Wrestlemania! The show opens with Miss Elizabeth making her first appearance. She gets a great reception and speaks about how thrilled she is to be in the company. At this point Jake made his entrance with Shane and Bam Bam alongside him. Jake came in the ring and asked Liz if he remembered what happened the last time they were this close to one another. Jake demanded The Rock appear. He grabbed Liz who began screaming.


The Rock came out and told Jake to let her go.



He told Jake mind games wouldn't work on him as he lives by 3 simple words - 'just bring it'. Rock said if Jake wanted to go one on with him all he had to do was ask. Jake said just as Rock had told him a few weeks back, he would get revenge on his own terms and slapped her across the face. The Rock ran down the aisle as Jake fled up the ramp laughing hysterically. Shane and Bam Bam looked at each other as if this wasn't part of the plan as The Rock tended to Liz.

After the break Shane and Bam Bam were talking and Bam Bam said that wasn't what they agreed would happen.



Shane said Jake was becoming difficult to control. Bam Bam said he knew Shane hated The Rock but asked if Jake was really a preferable option to him? Shane thought about this for a few seconds and then replied with a sneer that he was.

A video package aired showing Junkyard Dog helping Mr T train for his big match at Wrestlemania.

Match #1 US Champion Muhammad Hassan b. Junkyard Dog w/Mr T (non-title match)

Before the match it was announced the winner would get to decide the stipulation for the Wrestlemania bout. The announcers spoke about the surprise Hassan had promised last week and wondered if it was just head games. The match was pretty even and it looked like JYD would win but someone came through the crowd and passed Hassan his US belt which he used to hit JYD for the 1-2-3. It was a man wearing a turban and it was shown to be the legendary Freddie Blassie!

Hassan then grabbed a chair and beat on JYD and Mr T. He got on the mic saying he had delivered on his surprise and said 'Ayatollah' Freddie Blassie would be in his corner at Wrestlemania.



He decided that the stipulation at Mania would be a cage match between Hassan and Mr T since he had long felt like a caged animal living in America. He said this Sunday the caged animal would break American hearts as well as their hero.

After the break Mr T and JYD were being treated by medics. Shane was told Mr T couldn't feature later on in the main event so Shane said with a smirk that it will have to be a 5 on 4 match instead. It was implied by the announcers that Shane knew Mr T would be taken out.

Meanwhile Beth knocked on Crash's dressing room. She apologised if she hurt his feelings last week. Crash said it was OK and suggested reluctantly that they just stay friends. Crash asked her if she was ready for Chyna on Sunday and she said she thinks so. Bob Holly then appeared and asked if his cousin was becoming distracted ahead of Sunday.



Crash got angry and said to just drop it. Beth excused herself and left.

The Rock was seen comforting Elizabeth backstage alongside Big Show, Hurricane and Rosey. Rock said Jake couldn't be found but that he would pay this Sunday. Show walked off looking extremely pissed.



Shane was seen talking on the phone when Big Show burst in. He grabbed Shane by the throat and said he couldn't believe he allowed Jake to attack Liz. Shane insisted he didn't think Jake would actually touch her. Show said maybe he should slap Shane around a bit. Bam Bam then attacked Show from behind and helped Shane up. The two of them fled the room as Show got up looking enraged.

Santino's casa segment w/ Chyna

Santino was there with Nunzio and said this Sunday the Italian Stallions would be the new tag champions and tonight they'd get revenge on The Rock for last week. He said despite his difficulties with Beth he knew she loved him and would never fall for a small silly man.



He introduced Chyna, who came out to a good pop. Chyna got on the mic and said she was surprised Beth would go for someone like Santino. He got upset and said Beth would kick her ass at Mania. He said Beth had told him she hated Chyna and that she thought Chyna looked like a dude. Beth came out and denied saying these things. She told Santino to stop lying.

Santino laughed with Nunzio and said women could be so emotional just like stupid little puppies. They laughed as Beth and Chyna looked at each other unimpressed. They then began beating up Santino and Nunzio before throwing them outside the ring. Chyna picked up the mic and said not only was Beth better off without Santino, she'd be better off without the Women's Title too.



After the break Nunzio was chatting to Santino and asked if he was worried about his relationship after Beth had beat him up. Santino said that this was a sign women liked you and brushed it off.

Shane was seen talking to Bam Bam in the boiler room. He asked if Jake was around and Bam Bam said no one knew where he was. Bam Bam asked if Jake would appear later and Shane said he didn't know. Shane said even if he didn't, that would still make things 4 on 4 since Mr T wasn't competing so told Bam Bam to concentrate on softening up Big Show. Shane said Sunday's match with Big Show would be a no DQ match and laughed saying the referee (him) would have to call the match right down the middle.

Before the main event The Rock cut a pre-match interview.



Rock said Jake slapping a woman just showed what a pathetic piece of trash he was. He said tonight Jake couldn't be found. Rock said perhaps Jake was in a quiet place looking inside his pants in a vain search to find some sort of a snake down there. Rock said he hoped Jake would show up because even 5-on-4 odds didn't intimidate The Rock. He said he would whoop Shane's candy ass tonight and anyone else he went up against. Rock said it didn't matter whether he was facing Santino, Nunzio, Mario, Luigi, Fat Tony, Bam Bam, Pebbles, Wilma, Betty, Jake The Snake, Jake The Worm, Jake The Donkey, Jake the Zebra, Jake the hairy Llama's Anus, the only thing that mattered was tonight, whoever he faced, simply put - just bring it.

He said Jake liked to say 'Trust Me' well trust The Rock at Wrestlemania he would go on to claim the vacant WWE Title. If ya smelllll what The Rock is cooking.

Main Event - Jake Roberts, Bam Bam, Shane McMahon, Santino & Nunzio b. The Rock, Big Show, Hurricane & Rosey

Jake didn't come out to begin with and The Rock's team enjoyed the better part of the match early on. Then Shane and Bam Bam's team came strong as Bam Bam worked over Hurricane. Rock desperately wanted the tag but couldn't get it. Eventually he tagged in and worked over everyone including Shane.

At this point Jake Roberts sauntered down the aisle to a chorus of boos. He joined his team on the apron and Rock asked him to tag in. The crowd cheered like crazy. To everyone's surprise Jake DID tag in and the two of them went at it exchanging right hands. Suddenly everyone came in the ring and the arena came unglued as the ref struggled to control things. Big Show went after Shane on the outside and inside the ring Rock and Jake collided mid-air with one another. The finish came with Bam Bam making the blind tag on Jake before hitting a diving headbutt on The Rock for the 1-2-3 pin.

The announcers put over Bam Bam saying he had just taken a huge win ahead of Sunday's match with Big Show.



The Big Show looked surprised at Bam Bam's victory and the pair of them fought up into the stands with Shane chasing after them. Crash and Bob Holly meanwhile ran down and did battle with Santino and Nunzio and Hurricane and Rosey, who all fought their way into the back.

This left Jake all alone with The Rock. He picked up The Rock and nailed him with the DDT. He then left the ring and went under it to get a bag. The announcers wondered what was inside it and Jake revealed the contents - it was Damien! The snake got a surprisingly large pop. The announcers said this must have been the good news Shane had mentioned earlier. Jake tied Rock up in the ropes and draped Damien on him! The snake began biting The Rock's arms who screamed in agony and began to bleed. Some refs came down to get the snake off him and the show closed with Jake hoisting Damien in the air and gesturing that the belt would soon be around his waist.



The show closed with a video package detailing the main event bout involving Jake and The Rock at Wrestlemania:

Defiance 05/05/09 Spoilers:

The shows opens with the Philadephia Arena, named after the well selling cheese, in New York, in darkness. No pyro. No music. Once the fans chanting dies down after a few minutes, a white light descends from the ceiling with God himself lowering himself from the heavens. He welcomes the 3000+ fans in attendance and informs them of what will follow on this night. First off, we will have 2 triple threats as part of the cruiserweight title tournament. Tonight we would see Alex Shelley Vs Psicosis Vs James Gibson & TBK Vs Juvi Vs Chris Sabin in triple threat elimination matches, with the winners advancing to the final to be held at PWR Summer Uprising.

*****sex pistols music blares*****
Out walks “The Anarchist” Doug Williams to a chorus of boos. He tells the crowd that not only has he no respect for the owner of this company, but he also has no respect whatsoever for Jerry Lawlor. He wishes Lawlor would just get on with retiring and leave the door open for proper young talents like himself. White says he knows tension has been brewing between the pair since the companies inception, and he is willing to grant Williams his match at Uprising. Williams seems pleased, and turns to walk back to the dressing room, but behind him stands Lawlor who sucker punches him with his scepter. Lawlor takes the mic and informs White that he cannot wait another 3 weeks, he wants Williams tonight. The crowd roars its approval. White shrugs and smiles, tells Lawlor he has got his match, in a fight with honour.

When we come back we are given our first TV match on Defiance
The Brian Kendrick Vs “Lightning” Mike Quakenbush
Before the match starts, Quack takes the mic and tells of his disappointment at being left out of the cruiser tournament due to his late arrival to the promotion. He asks Kendrick, who had only beaten a local development talent, one of Quacks students in fact, to put his place in the semis on the line. TBK, being the arrogant person he is, says not only will he beat Quackenbush, but he will beat him faster than the 3 minutes he beat his pitiful student. The match begins with Kendrick going for an immediate schoolboy which Quack kicks out at one for. He rolls through though, gets Kendrick in position for an inverted implant DDT, hits in, covers him 1-2-3. Quack takes TBKs place in the semi final. He runs out celebrates with the fans as he makes his way to the back, as Kendrick has a childish temper tantrum in the ring.

Backstage segment:
Quackenbush walks by Alex Shelley, and wishes him luck for his triple threat semi later in the evening.

We go back to the ring to see Homicide standing there with Juvi and Psicosis. He introduces the audience to the new LAX. He said he is the leader of what will become the dominant group in pro wrestling. He points out his disappointment at being left out of the next shows triple threat title match between CM Punk, KENTA and His old buddy, Low Ki. He demands it is made a 4 way. Tonight, he is scheduled to meet Naomichi Marufuji.

Vs

Marufuji comes to the ring and the match begins. It starts off with a long feeling out process of hold and counter hold. This is a decent clash in styles, which Marus obvious puro base and Homicides lucha based style. Each reversal is met with raucous applause from the live audience. Homicide is looking genuinely annoyed that he is not going over as quickly as expected, so he signals for his cohorts to get involved. Juvi jumps on the apron to distract the ref, Cide throws Maru out of the ring, while he and Psicosis start putting the boot in. Maru is sent back into the ring where Homicide sees an easy pinfall, but Marufuji kicks out on 2. Out run the Murder City Machine guns and take his corner. Homicide goes for the cop killer but Marufuji flips through and back body drops Homicide. Juvi jumps in, but is blocked by Chris Sabin, Psicosis jumps in but is blocked by Shelley. They brawl to the outside. The ref bans all 4 from ringside, and the match continues. We are now at the 20 minute mark of a 25 minute time limit match. Both men are out on their feet at this stage, but trade punches, legal in PWR, in the middle of the ring. Yakuza kick from Homicide, who runs the ropes looks to finish with an Ace Crusher. Blocked by Marufuji, kick to the groin, takes hold, runs up the ropes, hits a shinanui, 1-2-3 on the cusp of 25 minutes. Marufuji celebrates in the ring while LAX come back to help Homidice to the back.

Commercial break.

Vs Vs
When we come back its time for the first semi final in the cruiserweight tournament, between Alex Shelley Vs Psicosis Vs James Gibson. The bad blood from their rumble only a few minutes ago its very evident between Shelley and Psichosis. Gibson uses this to his advantage and steps back and lets the 2 tag team specialists duke it out in a daring and physical battle. The crowd are not too pleased to see Gibson use such tactics. He makes the first elimination when Psichosis hits Shelley with a hurricanrana from the top. Gibson pushes Psichosis out and takes the cover. Gibson takes to the outside and throws the exhausted Psicosis back inside. He works away at his midsection and legs, taking out Psichosis speed, therefore preventing any sort of recovery. He then hits a tiger driver for the 1-2-3 on the 12 minute mark.

Commercial Break

Vs Vs

Its time for the 2nd elimination triple threat. This time we see Chris Sabin Vs Juvi Vs Quack. Much like the previous match the Sabin and Juvi go at each other to start off with, but Quack does not want the easy victory. He takes at Juvi seemingly letting Sabin rest. Quack works over the thigh area of Juvi, taking the spring out his step. Sabin joins in at this. Quack hits Juvi with a Quackarana. Sabin picks him up and hits Juvi with a cradle shock for the first elimination on the 3 minute mark. They briefly shake hands, but Quack takes a very quick schoolboy 1-2-3 to advance to the finals. Sabin is disgusted to lose, but acknowledges he was beaten by the more wily man.

*backstage segment*

Tomko and Bernard, the tag champs are laughing, saying there is just no competition in this promotion for them. They will beat anyone who challenges them next time on Defiance.

Commercial break

Vs
Its time for the main event of the evening. Already in the ring is Doug Williams. Jerry Lawlors music hits, but he runs out from the crowd and attacks Williams from behind. The crowd love this. They remember exactly how dirty a player their hero is. The much younger Williams is not stricken for long as he takes control, taking Lawlor to the crowd quickly using his judo expertise. He seems to have added tome MMA to his game as he proceeds into a vicious ground and pound, leaving Lawlor a bloody mess. The Anarchist plays to the crowd asking them what they think of their hero now. He goes outside for a chair. He allows Lawlor back to his wobbly feet. He waits, he strikes, he misses. He tries again, he misses again. He throws the chair at Lawlor in temper, and again misses. He runs at Lawlor, who unbeknownst to Williams has taken his brass knucks from his singlet, and is nailed with a right hand. Williams is down. Lawlor falls to the floor in exhaustion. The ref gets to eight of a ten count. Both men stumble to their feet, Lawlor takes a punch, Williams ducks then grabs Lawlor for the Chaos Theory – HITS IT….. 1-2, Lawlor kicks out. Willaims is in disbelief. He gets the chair again. Lawlor is on his knees begging for mercy. Williams goes to swing, but the ref seemingly in sympathy grabs the chair to stop him. Williams in disbelief turns his back on Lawlor to give out to the ref. Lawlor low blows Williams from behind, making him fall into the ref. Lawlor takes the chair, nails Williams. Lawlor grabs Williams, picks him up…PILEDRIVER. He makes the cover as the woozy ref comes to 1-2-3. Lawlor wins on 25 minutes as we go off the air.

(Carlito's Cabana)
Carlito interviews...Muhammad Ali
...........

Ali talks about how this show is being watched all around the world because of his in ring debut tonight "I wish people would love everybody else the way they love me. It would be a better world. I'm the most recognized and loved man that ever lived cuz there weren't no satellites when Jesus and Moses were around, so people far away in the villages didn't know about them."

He then briefly talk about the training he has done in preperation for his match tonight before going to the back to warm up while a video package of his training is shown. "I hated every minute of training, but I said, Don't quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion."

Opening Match: Cabana set is removed while the match promo airs.




Twin Towers vs The Colons w/Eric Perez vs The Canadian Bulldogs (tag team title match)


The Canadian Bulldogs have been getting tuitored by The British Bulldogs who they hope to emulate by becoming the first ever BWA tag team champions but to do so they will have to go through two of the best tag teams in the BWA. Firstly the teaming of the powerhouse's The Big Bossman and The One Man Gang otherwise known as The Twin Towers and The former unified WWE Tag champs Primo & Carlito Colon who will have the Puerto Rican Nightmare Eric Perez at ringside with them. Will this added influence at ringside have an affect on the match or as planned will the elimination nature of this match ensure that we see undisputed tag champions fairly crowned.

Winners: The Colon Brothers

The Puerto Rican Nightmare's as a group will try to dominate the newly established tag division and may even try to envoke the freebird rule down the road where by any 2 of them can defend the belts not just the Colon brothers.

Silver King & Dr Wagner Jr vs Villaño IV & V (Mask vs Mask match)




before this match begins a video packaged is played about the history of Mexican wrestling characterized by rapid sequences of holds and moves, as well as high-flying moves, some of which have been adopted in the United States, and colorful masks.

They speak of their long standing rivalry with Silver King & Dr Wagner Jr and how everyone will remember tonight as the night they debute in the BWA and the night that they de-masked teir opponents infront of the world.

winners: Vilano IV & V

A win on their debut so that they gain momentum upon their arrival at the BWA but this feud however is long from over at this stage. It would most likely also be easier for the face team of Silver King and Dr Wagner Jr to get over without their masks which unlike Los Villaños arent matching.


Steve 'King of Old School' Corino vs Abyss (Hardcore match)



Steve Corino's anti hardcore gimmick has obviousy not gone down well with the monster Abyss who has delivered a number of extreme beatdowns to 'The King old Old School' in recent weeks aswell as costing him the IC title at the last PPV. Can Corino finally get his revenge in this hardcore match, expect blood, thumbtacks and much more as we find out.

Winner: Steve Corino

Team Omega member Matt Hardy interfers in this match helping The King of Old School Steve Corino get the victory in this match which really exemplified what a Hardcore match really is with all types of weapons and unconventional moves being performed both in the ring and outside of it. The match culminated when after Hardy's interferance forced Abyss back onto the stage by the Titantron where Corino is waiting with a Kendo stick. After delivering multiple blows to Abyss with it, including cracking it over his head and leaving him teetering on the edge of the stage, at which point Corino grabs a camera from the Cameraman who had followed them backstage and strikes Abyss with the camera causing him to fall 10 feet through a table bellow before being pinned 1-2-3. If the pin wasnt bad enough, the fall caused a back injury which it is believed will keep the big man out for up to 2 months.

RebelRockChick

Presents; Warzone
Coming to you live from New Orleans Arena, New Orleans, LA.

XWE General Manager, Jenny McCarthy, kicks off this week’s edition of Warzone by welcome the fans and reminding them that XWE’s PPV, Rebelution, is just one week away! Jenny announces that the tag team titles will be on the line at Rebelution, with Young & Williams taking on champions Rhodes & DiBiase Jr, but before that, two of the four participants in the Tag Team title Match at Rebelution will face off against each other tonight. Just as the opening match was to be announced, Jenny is interrupted.

Jeff Jarrett’s music hits and he joins Jenny in the ring. He says he doesn’t care about any pointless matches happening tonight, he has a chance to take the title from Shawn Michaels at Rebelution and wants to give the crowd a preview tonight, in a match again Michaels. Jenny reminds Jarrett about the clause he signed in the contract signing last week, he and HBK cannot get involved until their match at Rebelution.

Instead Jenny announces that since Jarrett interrupted her and seem to claim the tag team division as “pointless”, Jarrett will be in a tag team match of his own tonight, teaming with Ace Steel, who has been asking for a match against Cabana, and a tag team partner of his choice. She also points out that HBK cannot get involved and is resting this week, having picked up a knock whilst training during the week. Jenny then leaves as Jarrett looks on in disgust unhappy with the GM’s decision.

Ted DiBiase w/Cody Rhodes vs. Petey Williams w/Eric Young

Result: The opening match as built up by the GM. Ted gets on the mic before the match and says that he has a little announcement, he would like to welcome he and Cody Rhodes manager….someone Petey & Eric would know very well, Scott D’Amore. Williams and Young are in shock as D’Amore joins Cody in Ted’s corner. The bell rings and DiBiase takes control from the start, as Williams struggles to keep up with the pace of the match. DiBiase gets a belly to back suplex on Williams. DiBiase then poses to the crowd, which results in a round of boos. Williams recovers quick to get a Russian legsweep on DiBiase. Williams moves quick to go up to the top rope. Rhodes attempts to push his off but Young is quick to react. Williams goes for the elbow drop, but DiBiase moves out of the way. DiBiase gets the cobra clutch slam and pins…Young tries to make the save but is pulled from the ring by D’Amore and Rhodes. 1-2-3, DiBiase picks up the win. DiBiase, Rhodes and D’Amore celebrate in the ring while Young helps carry Williams to the back.

Angelina Love, along with Velvet Sky storms into Jenny McCarthy’s office, demanding that her title match against Natalya be made official. Jenny informs Angelina that she isn’t the only female wrestler looking for a title shot at Rebelution. Angelina looks confused and then turns to Velvet, giving her a cold stare, while she looks just as confused, shaking her head. Cheerleader Melissa appears behind Angelina. The two stand face to face before Love & Sky walk out. Jenny then calls after the two that they will be involved in a tag team match tonight…and it’s coming up next.

Cheerleader Melissa & Natalya Neidhart vs. Angelina Love & Velvet Sky

Result: The match starts off with Melissa against Sky. Sky tries for a quick roll up but Melissa kicks out with ease. Sky then tags in Love, who immediately gets a clothesline on Melissa, who is quick to get up but is taken down just as quick again. Love screams at Melissa to get up, and she does, and Irish whips Love into the corner and performers numerous backhand chops before getting a scoop power slam on Love. Melissa goes for the pin, 1-2, Love kicks out. Melissa tags Neidhart in and she gets a few kicks on Love who is still down. She picks up Love and then gives her a backbreaker. She continues to kick her, before lifting her to her feet, only to be met by multiple elbows to the face. Love fights back as Neidhart tried to block her shots. Love Irish whips Neidhart to the opposite corner, only for Neidhart to reverse it, but Love gets out of the corner. Love then hit Neidhart with a Leg-feed enzuigiri and then goes for a camel clutch. At this stage, Cheerleader Melissa leaves her corner, leaving Neidhart to suffer and Sky looks on mocking. Neidhart tries to fight her way out of it but fails, and taps out. Love & Sky celebrate in the ring, still mocking Neidhart, as Melissa disappears to the back.

Colt Cabana is shown backstage, speaking with Chris Daniels. Colt seems uneasy, as he asks Daniels if he will be his tag team partner for tonight’s match. Daniels says he is not going to help him and to run along and find someone else, as he has better things to be doing.

Ad for Rebelution is aired

Rey Mysterio vs. Evan Bourne

Result: As expected this is turning out to be a long fast paced match, filled with high flying manoeuvres. Mysterio goes for a missile dropkick and goes for the cover, 1-2, Bourne kicks out and is quick to his feet, he bounces off the rope and hits Mysterio with suplex. Bourne then does a springboard into a corkscrew senton. Bourne goes for the pin but Mysterio manages to get him leg on the rope. Rey then hits Bourne with a tornado DDT. Rey then hit’s a springboard leg drop. Bourne is tiring and Rey goes for a quick rollup. 1-2-3. Rey wins. Bourne is not happy, slamming his fists into the mat.

Chris Daniels then appears at the top of the ramp, applauding both competitors. He then gets on the mic and states that the general manager has informed him that at Rebelution, he will be defending his title against both Rey Mysterio and Evan Bourne in a 3-way match. He then states, that he has nothing to worry about and that they should try and up their game if they want to considered any competition for his title. He then leaves and Bourne and Mysterio look happy with the announcement and stare each other down.

Velvet Sky is backstage to interview Jeff Jarrett before the main event. Velvet asks Jarrett if he is prepared for his big title match against HBK at Rebelution. Jarrett grabs the mic and stares down the camera. He says he is more than prepared to take the title from Shawn Michaels…he hopes that Shawn is watching as this upcoming match is simply a preview as to what he has in store for him. Jarrett drops the mic and makes his way into the main arena for his tag match.

Cabana is shown on camera talking to someone, who is out of the cameras view. “I appreciate this man, you ready for this?” asks Colt. “Born Ready”….then appears recent addition to the roster, Elix Skipper, accompanied by Simon Diamond. The three then make their way to the ring.

Colt Cabana & Elix Skipper w/ Simon Diamond vs. Ace Steel & Jeff Jarrett

Result: Skipper and Steel are ready to start things off. Then Shawn Michael’s music hits and Shawn makes his way over to the commentary table. He and Jarrett exchange glances. The bell rings and Skipper & Steel lock up. Skipper over powers Steel and gets him to the mat. Skipper manages a double jump moonsault on Steel. Steel is taking his time to get back to his feet…Cabana wants it, and is tagged by Skipper. Cabana hit’s the bionic elbow on Steel, which sends him face first into the mat again. Cabana continues to stomp on Steel, and steel manages to grab his leg, getting himself back to his feet while still holding Cabana’s leg.
Steel drops Cabana’s leg and applies a Gory Special. This leaves Cabana laid out. Steel then applies a cross armbar, Colt is in agony. Steel then moves back to his corner and Jarrett tags himself in, much to Steel’s dismay. Colt slowly crawls to his corner and tags in Skipper just is time to hit a clothesline on an approaching Jeff Jarrett, and again. Colt is lying on the ring apron, still in pain. Diamond is on the outside, trying to spur on Skipper on. Steel storms off to Colts corner and attacks Cabana. The ref tries to break it up on the outside. Jarrett takes to opportunity to grab his guitar and smashes it over Skippers head. Diamond then enters the ring and gets the remains of Jarrett’s guitar to hit Jarrett with, but Jarrett moves out of the way. Diamond hits Skipper as he was trying to get to his feet. Jarrett clotheslines Diamond and pushes him out of the ring. The ref turns around to see Jarrett covering Skipper for the pin…1-2-3. Cobana and Steel are now brawling on the outside, while Diamond is still in shock at what just happened.

Jarrett stares in HBK’s direction, who at witnessing the match is pent up with anger, unable to interfere. Jarrett with a grin on his face, mouths to Michaels, “That title is mine”. Show ends.
