Welcome to BWA No Way Out!
Shinjiro Otani comes out before this one begins and cuts a great heel promo where he runs down the locals. He says that the BWA signing so many Mexican wrestlers recently is a joke and if they wanted top talent . He goes on to state that if they wanted to look to bring in the top talent they should have looked to his nation, japan. He says that his apprentice Akebono will show that tonight but for now he is issuing an open chalenge to anyone in the back be the a local wrestler or even someone already booked to compete here tonight... it isnt long before his challenge is answered by the BWA newest roster member Shane DouglasLocally advertised Pre-PPV dark match
Shinjiro Otani vs Shane Douglas
Douglas starts this one strong and fast and it isnt long before Otani is feigning injury to try and get away from him. The ref isnt having any of it though and he is forced to fight on. Eventually Douglas gets up a head of steam and when he connects with a belly to back suplex which he follows up with his Franchiser Shoulder jawbreaker the win is his. Otani will no doubt claim his "Injury" was the deciding factor here but the crowd dont care and instead celebrate the Franchise shutting his mouth here tonight.
Winner: Shane Douglas
The Pyros hit and the oficial BWA No Way Out PPV begins as the annoucers hype tonights card. Whomever chose the order of tonights card decided to kick things off to the Mexican crowd's liking thats for sure says one announcer as tonights opening bout is announcedPPV opener
WGS member Dan Severn vs Blue Demon Jr
Backstory: Dan "The Beast" Severn recently returned from injury here in the BWA and since he has his attitude seems to have changed to. Last week he made clear his opponion on this rivalry. He thinks the signing of Blue Demon Jr is meerly another unwanted attempt to pander to the international market and that there are better wrestlers in the states. He takes exception to The Mexican wrestler bigging up his NWA world title reign and considers the belt worthless in comparison to when he held it. He also sees this matchup as an ideal way to prove himself to his newly acquired cohorts in the self proclaimed Worlds Greatest Stable lead by Jeff Jarrett. Meanwhile Blue Demon junior says he is relishing this chance to prove himself with his first ever BWA PPV appearance. He says he is proud of his run as a world champion and eager to prove to not only Severn but the BWA audience at large that he is indeed good enough to once again be a world champion. He says the facts that his opponent is part of a group spouting racist nonsense and that this match will take place in his backyard of Mexico city may have the crowd on his side tonight but with or without them he would vow that tonight as a way of making a mark here in the BWA he would start the end of the worlds greates stable.
Match: With his home crowd support BLue Demon Jr is the faster out of the blocks here and gets in some serious offense early on. A series of rights has Severn reeling and a very impressive Hurricanrana has the lucha fans in attendance calling out for more. It's just as the announcers are questioning if Severn is really 100% after his recent absence from the BWA through injury that the UFC hall of famer gets back into it. A near blatant low blow is used but apparently not deemed clear cut enough for a DQ and from that moment on the local hero is struggling. Severn hits multiple suplex variation before trying to finish things with his Beast Choker Dragon sleeper with a body scissors but Blue Demon Jr is able to wriggle as far as the ropes forcing the hold broken. He rolls outside and catches he breath, allowing which the announcers suggest is a mistake on Severn's part as now when he head outside himself to retrieve his prey he is put in a Three-quarter facelock which is transitioned into either a jawbreaker. Severn is now the one struggling as Blue Demon gets bak into the ring but he does get back to his feet and slides into the ring. Blue Demon Jr however is not going to allow him any time to recover and immediatly catches him with his second Huricanrana of the night, after which he locks in his El Pulpo Sharpshooter. Severn cant hold on for too long and taps giving Blue Demon Jr the win in his first match in the BWA during his first ever BWA PPV appearance.
Winner: Blue Demon Jr
We follow Severn backstage after the match and he is seen vowing to make up for that loss when the camera pans to a shot of Bryan Danielson who has just arrived at the building, he has this to sayLast week this company had the opportunity to prove to the world that it was as I know it is, The greatest wrestling promotion bar none. You know what Hunter Hurst Helmsley did, he cheated infront of the world. He couldnt get the job done against Mitsuharu Misawa without an unfair advantage and not only that but he helped HBK cheat in the main event. He cost the promotion he wants to represent as its champion the opportunity to showcase just how good it can be and he cost me the chance to prove that I am the best wrestler in the world today. Tonight however he can do whatever underhanded tactics he wants, it wont matter, I will prove myself the best in the BWA and thats a promise
Elsewhere backstage we see Shinjiro Otani giving a pep talk to Akebono. Once again he runs down the crowd here tonight seemingly still irate about tonights dark show opnener (which the announcers make reference to) and says that they will not be so happy after the big man tears BWA favourite and crazy ass b*stard Necro Butcher up next. The two Japanese superstars then make their way out to the ring to big boos from the crowd
remember kids the BWA isnt PG and you should def not try this at home... looks like great fun though... but um yeah dont do it!First ever BWA deathmatch
Necro Butcher vs Akebono
Backstory: Necro Butcher believes he was lied to when he was signed to the BWA promotion. He says that they knew his wrestling style and had promised to promote it on the biggest and best wrestling promotion in the world but instead he claims he has had his hands tied by management ever since his arrival. Consatntly booked in matches with no hardcore element and being punished for the use of weapons are two of his biggest complaints as he states they are trying to change him. He said that they were not letting him be the real Necro Butcher and the man the fans want him to be. He was even considering walking out on his contract when John Lauriniatis promised him he could have what he coveted most, a deathmatch live on BWA PPV to showcase his skills. As the weeks went on though his frustration once again grew as no answer came about who his opponent would be while he continued to be booked in ways that made him simply put rebel against management. Finally the answer to his question came but in an unexpected form, that of The Sumo legend turned professional wrestler Akebono. The giant Japanese combatant lead by his manager and occasional tag partner Shinjiro Otani shocked the wrestling world with their arrival to the BWA when the big man gave the Butcher a serious beatdown in anticipation of this match up. Perhaps he has more of a history in this kind of match up but going into the PPV many are questioning can The Butcher really overcome this monster or will this be his last Deathmatch?
Match: The Necro Butcher comes out for this one early and to a good crowd reaction. The announcers suggest he is here to prep the arena for his match as he is seen pouring tumbtacks across the ring floor, wrapping barbed wire around the middle rope and pulling multiple weapons out from under the ring including two chairs, a sheet of glass and a baseball which as he shows the crowd has a nail sticking out of it. He then pulls out a small blade and as The Monsterous akebone makes his way out he cuts himself just to see the blood on his hand as he wipes his brow. He's ready for this one it seems and after some commotion where Akebono's manager had to be removed from ringside much to the crowds amusement we are underway. During this however Necro Butcher his fists taped and dipped into glue and in broken and crushed glass, allowing shards to stick to his fists.
Some questioned if Necro Butcher could take on and beat the monster but now the announcers ask if Akebono truely knew what he was getting himself in for in this one. Butcher springs as his apponent and lands multiple punches on his midsection and as Akebone trys to turn away one shot noticably digs into the big mans arm cutting him open. It seems the monster has now truely been awaken though and the Butcher soon feels the brunt of his force as he picks him up with little ease and performs a military press dropping him right onto the announce table. He then picks him up once more and in a great show of strenght tosses him back into the ring and onto the thumb tack filled canvas. This one has gotten ugly fast and the big man isnt looking lke letting up as he gets back into the ring and heads towards Necro Butcher. He goes to pick him up again but is caught with a smack from the baseball bat which Necro Butch had conceiled under his body. He then hits the big man with a second and this time the nail sticks right into Akebono's arm just below shards of glass from earlier.
Finally Akebono is knocked out of his stride it seems but a second later with one big motion the former Sumo wrestler tares the bat out of Necro Butchers hand and his own arm before letting aout a big grunt and once again heading towards his prey. one big slwing of the bat later and the thing was broken in two across the Butchers head as the deathmatch verean lies slumped in the corner. Akebono now backs up into the opposite corner and after a moment where he taunts the crowd who have been on his back all match he revs up for a big running body press. At the last second Necro Butcher moves out of the way and then with the big man already stumbling backwards he smashes the glass sheet across his head. He has gotten him down to one but Necro Butcher does not let up instead grabbing one of the chairs in the ring and continuing to whale on him. Akebono is in a bad way when he finally stops and Necro Butcher takes full advantage setting him up in a guilotine on the barbed wire coverd ring ropes. The barbed wire truely does come into play and tares up Akebono's arms further when the Butcher hits another chair shot on him. The big man has now lost a lot of blood and when he finally frees himself he cant help but stumble right into a very impressive Choose Death Sidewalk slam. A signature move of the butchers performedon top of two folded steel chairs placed back to back which gets him the win.
Winner: Necro Butcher
While medical personal help Akebono onto a huge stretcher Necro Butcher refuses their help and slowly stumbles to the back face covered in blood but with a big smile across his face and his hand and head held high.
While a big cleanup begins at ringside we are brought backstage and to the arrival of the 2nd man who will go for BWA heavyweight gold this evening Triple H. After being informed what Bryan Danielson has already had to say he had this retort.Bryan, you know what the best in the world does? they get the job done. I didnt let the BWA down, you did! I defeated Monday Night Grapplings champion but you Bryan, you couldnt get the job done. I saw to that last then and i'll see to that tonight. As for the BWA being recognised as the best in the business well after tonight not only will I have beaten the MNG champion but I will also become the undisputed BWA champion and if someone from WECWF wants to get their ass handed to them too well you know where ill be, on my show BWA Raw every monday night!BWA tag team title ladder match
Shelton Benjamin & Charlie Haas vs Masato Tanaka & Hayabusu
Backstory: Charlie Haas & Shelton benjamin have been at the core of everything Jeff Jarrett's World Greatest Stable have done since their formation. The majority of recent times the target of their attacks have been the current Tag Team champions in the BWA Masato Tanaka and Hayabusa. They have stated that they will return the tag titles will return to what they claim is their rigthfull american hand and have repeatidly verbally attacked their opponents dubbing them such names as "the suicidal samurai wannabe's". The tag champs meanwhile have often overcome the odds and have stated they are willing to put their bodies on the line to keep the belt out of the hands of racist bigots. They say they fight for what is right and will get the job done at No Way Out. To add extra spice to things this match was made a Ladders match after the WGTT won the right to name the stipulation of the match but only today Hayabusa was quoted as saying that the stip suits him perfectly and that people should expect something big tonight. We dont have to wait much longer to see what he has in mind.
Match: Between this and the previous match we see that there has now been numerous ladders placed around the ring and entrance way, ladders which play an important part right from the offset here as Haas & Benjamin head to the outside the moment the bell sounds. Hayabusa & Tanaka are both right on their tails though and all four begin this as a brawl on the outside. Eventually the WGTT seem to be getting on top as Benjamin hits a big superkick on Tanaka and rolls him onto the Spanish announce table before climbing a small enough ladder next to it. Meanwhile on the other side of the ring Haas had been in control of Hayabusa who he tosses into the ring. Hayabusa catches everyone off guard though as the moment he is back on his feet in the ring he slingshots himself off the ropes gaining momentum then makes a suicide dive to the outside where he knocks Benjamin clean off the ladder and both he and Benjamin come crashing down onto Tanaka and the spanish announce which a few seconds later collapses under the presure. The crowd begin to chant "Holy shi!t" and "This is awesome" as the action continues with Haas trying to take advantage and set up a ladder in the ring to go for the belts. He takes too long after mistakenly bringing a ladder which is too short into the ring. By the time he had set up a 2nd ladder and strted to ascend it Masato Tanaka was already in the ring next to him and used the smalle ladder as a weapon striking him repeatidly with it causing him to fall backwards to the mat. Tanaka then takes his chance to try and climb up and get the gold but he too falls subject to a ladder strike from behind this time from Benjamin who stops his attempt at the win.
The match begins to really breakdown at this point and even the announcers find it hard to keep up with all the action as all four men open up on each other. One thing they do note though is how Tanaka has placed a Ladder across the space from the ring aprom and the crowd rail, a ladder which almost snaps in two when Charlie haas is tossed out of the ring landing on it. Then Hayabusa again shocks everyone in attendance by springing up onto the ring ropes and bouncing up into the air executing his firebird 450 splash on Haas and actually splits the Ladder in two. The announcers are in total shock as Hayabusa immediatly gets up after this and we are seemingly atleast temporarily left with a 2 on 1 situation. How can he keep getting away with putting his body on the line like that they wonder. While Benjamin has joined Tanaka in a back and forth exchange of rights and lefts on the outside, Hayabusa is seen rooting around under the ring but seemingly cannot find what he is looking for and instead heads up the ring ramp and behind the curtain before coming back out moments later carrying the largest ladder that i'd wager has ever been seen in the BWA. The announcers suggest it must be near 20 feet tall as he sets it up outside the ring . Meanwhile his team mate has given them a great chance by delivering a tornado DDT to Benjamin leaving the current tag champs seemingly in total control.
Despite the announcers reminding us this is not a TLC match two tables are now pulled out from under the ring and set up beside it with Benjamin and Haas placed ontop of them. Hayabusa then begins to climb the huge ladder he brough out as the crowd get momentarily silent almost worried by what he is contemplating doing. Benjamin isnt totall out of it though and begins to fight back against Tanaka on the outside and trying to get himself off the table when suddenly Dan Severn comes charging out from the back. He is quickly followed by his opponent from earlier tonight Blue Demon Jr and the two eventually brawl through the crowd but before that Severn has the opportunity to interfere in a big way as he slowly tilts over the gargantuan ladder that Hayabusa is perched above sending him crashing down towards the tables set up below. Just before he hits Benjamin is able to get himself off the table and toss his opponent Tanaka onto it in his place. Second later Hayabusa nearly killing himself falls onto Tanaka and Haas on the tables and all three men are completely taken out, leaving only Benjamin still standing. Although obviously concerned about his partners well being he doesent waste too much time checking him and instead sets up a ladder in the ring and climbs up to claim the BWA tag team titles for the self proclaimed Worlds Greates teag team and stable.
Winners: The Worlds Greatest tag team
The crowd at home are then shown very brief highlights of tonights dark match opener with the emphasis on Shane Douglas whom the announcers then discuss in relation to his role as special referee tonight in a match they say could help shape the future of the BWA. as part of this discussion one of them brings up his imfamous shoot video on Big Johnny Lauriniatis
Clips from the before mentioned shoot video are then shown sorry too long already no time to search for it on youtube
We are then brought to footage from a fan Q&A earlier today with Killer KowalskiFan: How much are you looking forward to getting your hands on Kenta Kobashi tonight?
Kowalski: I can't wait. Kobashi has been running around here causing havoc without a word of explanation or remorse. He attacked my trainees and sent one of them to the hospital as well as interfering in countless matches along the way. Someone has to teach him some respect and that someone will be me.
Fan: There has been a lot of talk about wether your not you've still got it, what will you do if you cant beat Kobashi tonight?
Kowalski: (his tone here is a lot more somber) honestly i've not even contemplated losing. I've come here to be victorious and put Kobashi in his place but honestly if I'm not able to do that... maybe it will be time to hang up my wrestling boots.
We only saw a short snippet of that Q&A session but its ovious to see why that section was chosen as the commentators begin to speculate if maybe, just maybe we are about to see the great Killer Kowalski's last ever match in professional wrestling. And on that not the video package for his match begins.Grudge match
Killer Kowalski vs Kenta Kobashi
Backstory: Both Kowalski and Kobashi are long time BWA competitors and both are close confidants to the current co GMs in the BWA and yet it was the BWA wrestling academy's rookie's that this rivalry revolved around initially and Kenta Kobashi's complete lack of respect for them. Not once but twice did he ignore head trainer Killer Kowalski's please to finish things early when trainees were having tryout matches against him and in one case he actually went as far as to send the rookie to the hospital. It went against his own intentions but these actions have drawn Kowalski out of his self imposed semi retirement and he plans to not only stand up for his trainee but what he feels is right here in the BWA. Has he still got it or was this the biggest mistake of his life, god knows if he doesent bring his A game here tonight Kobashi will eat him alive.
Match: A simple way to describe the beginning of this encounter would be... stiff as f*ck! as both start off by squaring up to each other and trading big punches in the centre of the ring and then huge painfull chops. neither man is willing to back down and both try their hardest not to even flinch but eventually as both mens midsections start turning red raw, Kowalski stumbles back a little. A smile creeps across Kobashi's face as he senses his opportunity and he charges at Kowalski knocking him down with a big shoulder charge.
Kobashi reaches down and goes for a boston crab but Kowalski is able to counter it and instead drap Kenta down to his level where Killer displays what the announcers call his wrestling 101 skills transitionally seemlessly between technical wrestling holds and maneuevers and truely schooling the 3 time BWA draftee Kobashi in mat based skills leading the crowd to once again chant "you've still got it". It's at this point that John Lauriniatis heads down to ringside to support his former tag partner and current enforcer Kenta Kobashi. He does prove a distraction at ringside and Kobashi seems to be getting back ontop as he delivers a strong DDT but it isn't long until Kowalski's own good friend and former tag partner Gorilla Monsoon appears on the scene to even up the numbers.
The finish comes a few minutes later when Kobashi has Kowalski stuck in a corner and is continously catching him with kicks and chops. Big Johnny at ringside gets physically involved holding Kowalski's leg so he cant get out of the corner and Monsoon has had enough and charges his rival. Johnny runs around to the other side of the ring but with Monsoon still in chase and getting close rolls into the ring to get away. When he stands up he is right behind Kowalski and gets to see Kobashi attempt to hit a running Burning Lariat to him. Kowalski is just about able to dip out of the way though and Kenta has to stop himself from hitting Johnny who realising his mistake gets out of the ring ASAP. It wasnt fast enough though as this distraction was all Kowalski needed and when Kobashi turned around Killer locked in his infamous Claw finishing move and moments later it was all over.
Winner:Killer Kowalski
The Franchise Shane Douglas comes charging down to the ring in full referee attire and clears both the victorious Kowalski & Kobashi out of the ring. Any continued fighting between the two is avoided as Kobashi is very reluctant to leave at first. He looks so peeved at Laurinaitis and in an unexpected twist to tonights events big Johnny is visably relieved when one former tag partner of his (Douglas) orders another (Kobashi) to leave the arena. While he reluctantly does so and tonights two competitors and the special referee are officially annouced despite having already been out at ringside for a while the promo video for this rivalry is shown.BWA GMship on the line
Johnny Ace vs Gino Monsoon - Special Ref: Shane Douglas
Backstory:Ever since they were appointed the GMs were appointed they have been at each others throat and always trying to one up each other sometimes even to the detriment of BWA Raw. With this in mind and by the decree of BWA chairman Bounty Hunter we found out last week that both these men were placed back on the active roster and a winner takes all match booked for tonight. 2 men will be competing but only one will still have his job when were done and as if it needed any extra spice added to it John Lauriniatis's former tag partner Shane Douglas was added as special guest referee. Luckily enough for Monsoon though Douglas is supposed to have developed a real hatred for Johnny over the years.
Match: Monsoon is on top form as this one starts and his innovated Gorilla press slam has Johnny reeling from the get go, It isnt long before he is trying to finish things and hits a big airplane spin slam on Lauriniatis and goes for the pin.
What follows is a painfully slow count from Douglas. This enrages Monsoon and he gets right up in the special refs face. He looks like he is about to give him one hell of a beating but he never gets the chance instead Lauriniatis grabs him from behind with a roll up pin. This time its not a slow count though as it has become clearly evident that Douglas is back in cohoots with Lauriniatis. 1-2-3 and this one is over almost as fast as it started with Big Johnny now the permanent BWA Raw GM.
Winner: Johnny Ace
We are brought backstage to where Rey Mysterio is supposed to being interviewed but we are told the Mexican superstar is refusing to answer questions and says he will make a statement later tonight
elsewhere a dejected looking Gorilla Monsoon accepts a question from backstage reporter Josh Matthews about whats just gone down and how it has cost him his general manager position in the BWAMonsoon: Will you stop Josh, I am the same man who fought sixty minute classics with BWA ledgend Bruno Sanmartino, I beat nearly everyone worth beating and if John Lauriniatis thinks thats the last of me then he has another thing coming. As you know im still on the active roster of the BWA and although i'll accept my fate with regards my GM position know this Johnny, I'm coming for you and your buddy DouglasIntercontinental title match
WGS leader Jeff Jarrett vs Muhammad Hassan
Backstory: The WGTT had been attacking foreign wrestlers for a number of weeks but nobody knew why. They did however let slip that they were following anothers leadership and it soon became apparent who that was after the establishment of the self proclaimed Worlds Greatest Stable where Haas & Benjamin were joined by Dan "The Beast" Severn and the groups mouthpiece and leader who calls himself an American Hero, Jeff Jarrett. However another word more people seem to be using recently to describe him has been "Racist" as the groups anti-everyone but American rhetoric has really rilled many people up, most notably Muhammad Hassan. Hassan has personally overcome a lot of prejudice and racial sterotypes in his time since his time in the WWE and recently became a big fan favourite here in the BWA. This is the case to such an extent that he was recently a surprise entrant in the BWA/MTV joint venture BWA Legends house reality show, a show he walked off despite being the strong favourite when he heard that Jeff Jarrett had refered to him as "A Terrorist in waiting" in one of his promo's. Hassan returned and confronted both Jarrett and this supposed Worlds greates stable as quick as he could and almost just as quick tonights confrontation was booked. Jarrett has claimed he will defend and retire the IC belt tonight before introducing the US title in its stead and has even gone as far as suggesting that he would only allow American challengers for that belt then. Will this come to pass or will the fan favourite Hassan finally shut this bigots mouth once and for good? find out now
Before we get started Jarrett adresses the crowd here in MexicoJJ: Ever since I arrived here I've had Mexican boys getting at my for what was it, o yeah, unfair sterotypes. (he lets out a little laugh and then continues) Well I want to say something to you all here tonight... I'm Sorry (a kinda shocked quiet decends on the arena momentarily until he goes on),
I'm sorry that Mexicans are generally lazy bumbs, I'm sorry your people fill up American unemployment lines and I'm sorry your wrestlers are masked spot monkeys. I really dont want these sterotypes to be true but I must say I'm sorry that they are. Alas despite wanting to rid the BWA of your wretched kind (there have been a lot of heat magnets here tonight but Jarrett rivals all of them here) I know that even you can learn from me so please do as you do best and take a break from doing a rich American's lawn and instead watch one show you how a real man wrestles.
The crowd nor Muhammad Hassan can take any more of this and he makes his way out to shut Jarrett up much to their relief.
Match: He starts fast and knocks Jarrett from one side of the ring to the other before Jeff rolls out of the ring. The announcers suggest he had been caught off guard by Hassan but their attension moves from this and swiftly onto the arrival of the new BWA tag team champions Charlie Haas & Shelton Benjamin on the ramp. Before they can have the slightest impact on the match however the ref also goes to the outside but only to bar them from ringside as security escourt them away.While all this was going on though the final member of the Worlds Greatest stable Dan Severn came through the crowd and slid under the ring undetected. The two competitors now back in the ring and joined with again by the ref meanwhile are going back and forth exchanging big moves. First Jarrett thinks he has the advantage after a Swinging neckbreaker then its Hassan's turn who connects with a snap suplex or two of his own. He then locks in his Camel clutch finishing move and looks in control.
Severn suddenly rears his head and checks out the goings on in the ring. As the announcers suggest its looks as if he may be planning to break the hold and save Jarrett here but before he can the man who defeated him earlier tonight Blue Demon Jr comes charging down the ramp. Just like earlier with Haas & Benjamin though the ref stops him and orders security to remove him. As he does this though the referee takes his eyes off the the in ring action and behind the ring where Severn had emerged and just Swing Jarrett's guitar at Hassan bringing it crashing down on his head breaking the hold and seemingly ending the challengers chances here.
When the ref looks back Severn has dissapeared by into the crowd and Jarrett is lying draped over fan favourite Hassan. 1-2-3 and we have a winner and still IC champion, the leader of the self proclaimed Worlds Greates Stable Jeff Jarrett
Winner: Jeff Jarrett
Backstage we see HHH talking to John Lauriniatis, somthing about their meeting seems very shady but before the backstage announcer arrives Hunter has already left. Before doing so he lets out a little smirk and it seems he is happy with whatever was said. when finally confronted the sole GM of the BWA refuses to comment on what he was discussing with HHH but does remind everyone at home to join him tommorow night on BWA Raw, where he says he will lead a night of celebration for the new BWA champion. As we return to ringside the commentators suggest it's obvious who he wants as his champ.
Before the match which has been billed as tonights co-main event here in Mexico Rey Mysterio comes out to the ring to address the audience. It takes him a while before he is able to speak as the crowd are really on his back.Rey: A few weeks ago I told you all about how I have been disrespected down the years. Whether that was by management overlooking me or by you the fans playing down my achievements and ability. I mean i'll be honest it hurt when I heard you guys say that I didnt deserve my reign as world champion, that I only got it because of Eddie Guerrero. I mean I was the man called the ultimate babyface, the man nobody boo'd and the man who would never let you down, i'd give 100% every night against far bigger opponents and yet none of that impressed you. To you I was just Eddie's mate and yet ask yourselves why in gods name did you love Eddie so much? He lied, he cheated and he stole to win his titles and to win your hearts and you know why... cos your all hypocrites (if the boos werent bad before they go off the scale now). You claim you want an honourable fighter, a role model someone to look up to but thats all garbage, i'll give you what you really want tonight, a son of a b!tch, that gets the job done cos thats what Eddie was. O yeah and before your favourites Mascaras and Blue Demon come out here i'd like to remind all you here tonight in Mexico of one thing and this isnt something new about me... I've been using you guys for years! god I love that hispanic market making me the big bucks, its you same fools that tonight will create a record for most masks in one public event thanks to my great marketing that will learn to cheer for me again after I beat your idols. You fools cling to the hope that Mexico is a great nation, well im sorry its not (damn ignore the boo's the BWA security now look worried we could have a riot on our hands). Why do you think I live in San Diego these days...
he seems like he could go on forever but instead he is interupted and the fans erupt as Mil Mascaras emerges sporting a Mexican flag mask. He truely is the man of a 1000 masks.
Loser loses his mask
Rey Mysterio vs Blue Demon vs Mil Mascaras
Backstory: As part of Monsoon & Lauriniatis trying to one up each other a number of high profile wrestlers were recently signed to the BWA label, the first among them was Rey Mysterio. He wasnt impressed however when on the very same night he made his debut big Johnny promised he would sign an even bigger Mexican superstar to the show the very next week. The following week Mil Mascaras was revealed as the BWA's most recent aquisition but in a shcoking move Rey spoiled the occasion attacking him after introducing him the the BWA audiences. The next Raw then say this new changed Rey demand a match at No Way out versus Mascaras to prove himself the betst Mexican in the BWA only to find out that he had already been booked in a match which say him face off against not only Mil Mascaras but also the legendary Blue Demon who's sudden arrival seriously threw Rey off his game. Now seemingly bitter and twisted Rey has not only renounced his Mexican fans but also promised he would take what his opponents treasure most from them, their masks. Who knows how he organised it but Rey made this a loser loses his mask match. Will that backfire on him or will one of these Lucha Legends be demasked for the first time ever right here in Mexico City tonight.
Match: This one starts fast and with a classic luch libre feel and ha great crowd interaction throughout with many in attendance considering this the true main event tonight. Its Mil Mascaras who goes for the first big impact move lifting Blue Demon up for a Vertical suplex. The nature of the triple threat match though doesent allow this as Rey Mysterio catches Mascaras with a big dropkick mid move knocking him to the mat and sending Blue Demon to the outside and taking him out of the match in the early going. Much to the crowds displeasure Mysterio now gets on top of the match and after countering Mascaras's attempt at retaliation with a DDT begins working on his opponents neck with a Dragon sleeper.
Mysterio is extra aggresive tonight and continously tries to tear Mascaras's mask off while applying this maneuver. Mascaras is able to break the hold but as he rises to his feet Mysterio catches him with a headscissors takedown that leaves Mascaras lying on the bottom rope and prone for a 619 which Mysterio signals for. As he goes for it though Blue Demon who is now back to his feet grabs him in mid air and throws him to the outside before re-entering the ring himself. He gives a nod of respect to Mascaras who is now back to his feet before the two go at it.
Several punches, arm drags and big crossbodies later and Blue Demon is just about gaining control. He gives a big Irish whip into the corner after which another big cross body follows. At this point Rey is back on his feet and although outside the ring makes his way to the corner all the action is happening in and gets a few cheap shots in on Mascaras before once again going for his mask. While trying to tear it from his face Mysterio is hit by a big baseball slide by Blue Demon who now joins Mysterio on the outside and the 2 begin to brawl. This allows Mascaras a moment to compose himself but he quickly rejoins the action climbing the turnbuckle and doing his signature Diving Crossbody Press onto both his opponents. Again its Mysterio who seems to take the brunt of the damage and is left on the outside as the other two mexican wrestlers return to the ring.
Mascaras this time seems to be the one who gets the better of the exchanges between the two and after a big bear hug he has Blue Demon reeling. He charges at his downed opponent but is unexpectidly caught by a sweep to his leg that again sends him crashing into the bottom turnbuckle in the corner. Once more back to his feet on the outside Rey gets a few punches on on his downed opponent and then this time succesfully rips Mascaras's mask clean off his face. The Mexican legend covers his face with his hands before he can be viewed by the live audience and rolls out of the ring almost immediatly. He looks like he desperatly wants to go after Rey who has now re-enterd the ring and is goading Blue Demon with Mascaras's mask suggesting he will be next, instead though he makes his way to the back and the announcers suggest that he has been a loser here tonight with his mask on the line without even being pinned.
Mysterio mask/trophy in hand now seems supremly confident and as Blue Demon comes at him seems ligh on his feet avoiding attack and getting his counterpart with an armdrag counter which he follows up with a by going to the corner and as Blue Demon rises hitting him with a diving hurricanrana. He is now truely on top and climbs the top turnbuckle and sets himself up for a frog splash. Blue Demon though moves out of the way at the last second leaving Rey truely winded and prone as his is subjected to Blue Demon's Octopus hold. Blue Demon decides though to break the hold himself and points to the corner where he then climbs to the top rope and with Mysterio already down and struggling to breath goes for his own Frog Splash. As he does so he mimics the motions of the late Eddie Guerrero who Mysterio disrespected early tonight and yes he connects with it. 1-2-3! we have a winner.
Winner: Blue Demon, Pinned: Rey Mysterio
Blue Demon quickly elevates Rey to his Knees and undoes his mask revealing him to the world before leaving the ring. a few seconds later Rey gets back to his feet and his no visable facial features show just how angry he is. The little man even goes as far as spitting at Blue Demon who is now on the outside of the ring but despite the boos now being aimed at Rey the crowd was damn happy with that finish.
Before tonights main event Howard Finkel gets on the mic and has this to say"Ladies and Gentleman, it is now time for tonights main event but I have just been informed that Mr John Lauriniatis who earlier tonight won total control of the general managers office here in the BWA has made a change to the match. Tonights main event match up is now... An Iron Man Match!"
the crowd go wild after the annnoucement and the announcers talk about how we are going to get atleast 1 hour of Danielson vs HHH here tonight and should be in for a treat (one suggests maybe this change is what Hunter was talking to Johnny about earlier) as the Fink starts introducing the competitors.BWA World title Iron Man match
Bryan Danielson vs Triple H
Backstory: With two feuding GMs one thing which was thing which seemed to suffer recently and may have been a defining factor in BWA Chairman Bounty Hunter deciding one man needed to be in charge was communication. This was clearly evident when John Lauriniates attempted to award his talent aquisition Triple H the vacant BWA world title. He obviously hadnt checked with Gorilla Monsoon otherwise there would have been less shock the night the BWA universe was set a buzz as Bryan Danielson interupted proceedings. The American Dragon brought with him his WWE world title which he never lost and not only a claim to being the best in the world but also that he had been guaranteed a n oppoirtunity to prove this claim in a BWA world title match. Despite HHH's claims that Bryan was no more than an internet sensation and meerly the so called king of the Indies while he was the King of Kings and true best in the industry this match was booked for No Way Out. People have questioned wether this could mark the end of an era, if Hunter can get the job done without Vince or Steph by his side but in the weeks following the announcement it has been The Game who has stood tall at the end of most BWA Raw's and often at Danielson's expense. It was only 1 week ago that Hunter gave Bryan a pedigree in the center of the ring and now it seems he has the momentum as even the BWA.com message boards have swung in his favour suggesting his experience in such environments will take him over the line. It should be noted that at the recent BWA/WECWF/MNG PPV Hunter not only defeated MNG champion Mitsuharu Misawa but also saw too it that Danielson went through hell at the hand of his D-Generation X cohort HBK. The underhanded tactics HHH has shown since this rivalry has begun is one reason the fans have begun to think he will do what it takes to go home with the gold tonight but its also why many hope he doesent. Bryan Danielson has shown himself to offer a more honourable way forward, he would show the company in the most favourable light, but can he overcome the odds can he play the game and win here tonight? With this now officially a Iron Man match it will take more than a one off flook to prove he's the best in the world but and as he makes his way down the ramp despite looking focussed the announcers suggest the occasion may be getting to him as he looks less jovial than usual.
Match: After Hunter's entrance he makes his way into the irng and the two face off for what seems an age as crowd anticipation builds to a frenzy before they finally lock up.
It starts out with both men tussling for position with numerous reversals and surprisingly its HHH who impresses using his mat based wrestling skills to get on top. He catches Danielson in a sleeper hold and slowly wears the man down before the underhanded tactics start early as he uncovers a turnbuckle while the ref is making sure his opponent can breath properly. He looks to set Danielson who has just gotten back up for a belly to belly which would send him into the now exposed metal but after Bryan springs at him with kick to the temple the game is sent reeling back into the corner. Danielson backs up and the goes to charge at Hunter but HHH hasnt been weakened too much already and can move out of the way in time and instead sees Danieslon go head first into the turnbuckle. Danielson looks like he is out cold as the game goes for the first pin attempt of the night. 1-2 no kickout!
Triple H looks pissed he couldnt finish this one early and picks danielson up to his feet before immediatly tossing him to the outside. On the outside as the announcers note Hunter shows a real mean streak which they suggest he will need tonight and dishes out a serious beatdown. He stops occasionally to stop the ref from counting him out but each time Danielson who looks determined to not even lose 1 pinfall in this Ironman contest gets back into the ring also just before the 10 count. This is even the case after HHH had hit him with a running knee strike when he was on the ring apron and sent him crashing into the announce table. It's clear to see the frustration growing within HHH as he eventually allows Danielson into the ring and the contest to continue. It seems like he has been in near total control since the start however which makes it more of a shock when The American Dragon is able to catch him with his Labelle lock after returning to the ring. Again though Danielson has not worn Hunter down enough and the game is able ot quickly power out of this but now as the two rise to their feet Danielson is oddly smiling it seems he thinks he can take whatever the game can dish out. HHH rushes at his for a clothesline and if the game wasnt frustrated before he is after Danielson avoids this and instead rolls him up in a small package. 1-2 no HHH kicksout!
Danielson is somehow now on top and when HHH gets to his feet he is already up and hits a sweet dropkick and then wit the game grounded locks in his Cattle Mutilation submission. The crowd are on their edge of their feet a "Bryan Danielson" chant breaks out but it seems this is only monetary as 1 rake to the eyes later and the hold has been broken. This time it's HHH who is first to his feet with Danielosn really selling his eye injury and the game is able to toss him once again head first into the exposed turnbuckle on the other side of the ring. Only now does the referee notice this though and as Hunter goes for a pin is fixing it instead of making the count. Hunter frustration finally gets the best of him as he gets up and grabs the ref. He delivers a verbal beatdown on the official before demanding he make the count and turning back to his opponent. His attention had been away 1 second too long though and he turned straight into another small package pin attempt and as he was orderd to the Ref makes the count, 1-2-3! 1 fall victory goes to Bryan Danielson.
a second later Hunter kicked out and man did he look unhappy and deliverd a thunderous right hand to Danielson who was still celebrating his pinfall. As he was reeling Hunter exited the ring and quickly reaching under the ring and got what the announcers wear fearing he was going for, his Sledgehammer! As he gets back into the ring the ref gets inbetween him and Danielson warning Hunter he will be disqualified if he uses that weapon. A moment later that same ref is rolling around on the outside after recieving a shot from the wooden handel of the hammer to the head. A minute or so later when a second ref runs out a second fall is officially added to Danielsons tally as a result of disqualification but Hunter does his utmost to ensure that he does as much damage as is possible to his opponent before the third fall with not one but two sledgehammer shots to Danielson's head and this time not with the handel. 2-0 Danielson
Upion his arrival the second ref refuses to make a pincount for HHH as he wants to check Danielson is concious first but when Bryan begins to move albeit very gingerly his is forced to allow action to continue. Perhaps he could have done otherwise but Danielson himself said he wanted to continue. Perhaps that was a mistake though because atleast at this second he is in no real condition to handle any offense from HHH. Thats exactly what comes his way though in the form of repeated leg stomp befor ehe is dragged into the centre of the ring as Hunter then applies a figure four leg lock. Considering his current condition its amazing Danielson doesent tap immediatly but after nearly a minute in the hold he tap and his lead is cut back down to 2-1 with nearly 10 minutes remaining in this Iron Man contest.
Danielson rolls out of the ring to try and get a bit of a breather but as the announces note Hunter really hasnt taken too much offense here tonight, he got caught in a roll up pinfall and was DQd for his losses but he's not too beaten up and obviously mentally still on the ball as he wont allow Danielson get any time instead following him to the outisde and continuing the assault there. He eventually tosses Danielson into the ring steps before getting back into the ring and hoping for a ten count but just as early Danielson gets back in just before the count is completed. He exchanges rights with HHH but its clear to see all his remaining energy is going into this and when Hunter catches him with a kick to the gut he looks out on his feet which obviously isnt the ideal time for Triple H to set him up for the pedigree, but thats what happens and there is litterally nothing Danielson can do to stop it. 1-2-3! things are starting to look bleak for the American Dragon with only 3 or so minutes remaining and the score tied at 2 pinfalls each.`
Triple H meanwhile looks if anything over confident as he waits for the ref to allow him to go back to work. He even does a DX crotch chop towards the downed Danielson as the ref finally suggests action can resume with Danielson momentarily back on his feet. A DDT changes that though and second later HHH is once again signalling for a Pedigree. He reaches down to lift Bryan up bugt is unexpectidly caught with an armdrag takedown that Danielson astonishingly transitions into his Cattle Mutilation submission. 2 minutes remain on the clock and HHH is doing everything he can to break the hold but placed in the centre of the ring he cant make the ropes and as the announcers point out Danielson seems to be using every single ounce of strenght he has to keep the hold in place. 2mins left now and despite Triple H's having had the best of the past hour it's the game really struggling here. No matter what he tries Danielson keep him held in place as the crowd shout 1min! they again start chanting as the last 20 seconds begin to be counted down on the titantron. Despite the crowd being so into they are momentarily silenced in shock as HHH finally taps out with 10 seconds remaining. Yes Yes Yes Bryan Danielson rolls around celebrating on the ground lacking the power initially the get to his feet as the countdown reaches zero. it ends with 3-2 win count and a new BWA World Heavyweight champion is crowned!
Winner: Bryan Danielson
HHH looks like a broken man, he literally threw everything he had at Bryan Danielson here tonight but its the American Dragon that the Mexican crowd are now chanting for as if he were one of their own. It's a new day in the BWA and as he (Bryan) will say on the next nights raw, it seems the chinese calendar was a few months off as now the year of the Dragon has now truely begun.

The BWA recently held a press conference to answer some very pressing questions from the assembled media with regarding issues as varied as The Monday Night Wars with rival promotions WECWF and Monday NIght Grappling, The Interm-general manager position and the currently vacant BWA championship. Amongst others newly aquired BWA superstar HHH was in attendance.Q: How do you respond to the comments from your most recent promotion MNG, which coincidently is also the new home of your good friend Shaun Micheals?
HHH: (Grins) well the thing about that kid (reporter) is that those very same comments also admitted that MNonday Night Grappling has trailed the BWA throughout the monday night wars past and without the game thats something that will continue to happen. So Shaun if your listening, if you want to come to where the big dogs play im sure my friend Big Johnny Laurenitis will take your call but otherwise ive got just two words for you and MNG... (Crowd in atendance shout suck it! as Hunter makes the DX crotch chop)
HHH: (Laughing) just checking, thats not too PG for this era is it?
Reporter: umm, I dont think THe BWA is PG.
HHH: Alright then how about F*ck you MNG!
actually guys I'm not going to be taking questions ive just got a simple statement to make. I know im the best, you know im the best and interm BWA GM and VP of talent relations of the BWA John Laurenitis knows im the best. There is a vacant world title here (in the BWA) and I can assure you it wont be vacant for long)
The before mentioned Big Johnny Laurenitis was also in attendance to answer questionsQ: Can you please explain your role within the BWA universe?
JL: My Name is John Laurenitis and I am the Vice president of talent relations and the interm general manager of the BWA. Ever since Bounty Hunter (last year revealed to be Jay Leno) took a step back and appointed interm Co-Gms to run the BWA for him I have been known as Mr Excitement and have brought fresh ideas the fans want to see to the table.
Q: You mention that you are a co general manager and I notice that your counterpart is not here today, should we read anything into that?
JL: I believe there was a mixup in communication because although people say Mr Monsoon and I dont see eye to eye, I had hoped he would be here to see this great new talent I have acquire for the BWA (gestures towrds Triple H).
Q: With regards Hunter Do you agree with his sentiments with regards the Monday Night Wars? and can you comment on the world heavyweight title situation of which he eluded?
JL: well hunter is an outspoken individual and they dont call me big JOhnny for nothing. He was right here in the BWA its the big time but lets say im planning for a more open line of dialogue with both owners of MNG & WECWF. We may have taken their big stars like Hunter or Masato/Hayabusu but if they want to set a date we would be open to proving we are the top dogs settle this so called war once and for all in the ring.
And as regards the title situation, we have a lot of top talent in the BWA but with a vacant world title a talent like ive secured in HHH will surely be in contention.
Q: Finally, can you comment on people who have said you use your former tag partner Kenta Kobashi as your own personal enforcer.
JL: Kenta Kobashi is a great wrestler and we were one of the best teams in the business. Any promotion would be lucky to have him on board and although he supports the growing demand from the fans for me to be the sole GM he is his own master.
Other talent such as The Worlds Greatest Tag Team Charlie Haas and Shelton Benjamin were also in attendance but were elusive when questioned about their recent antics in the BWACan you please explain your recent attacks upon local wrestlers at the BWA house shows in Mexico City or going further back you attack on The Great Sasuke & Jushin Liger that left them so badly injured John Laurenitis was left with in his words no choice but to wish them all the best in their future endevours?
Haas: well you see the thing about them boys...
Benjamin: Charlie, Charlie, Charlie you still havent gotten the hang of the microphone now have you/ You dont just fill them in on everything all at once, you gots to have a little showmanship. Put it this way guys, you tune into BWA Raw this week and you will see our reasons for our actions, actions that speak louder than words man.
The BWA's Intercontinental champion Double J Jeff Jarett was also there but seemed far more focussed on shilling his new book "Self Proclaimed American Hero" than actually talking about any potential challengers for his title however.
The BWA were also heavilly plugging their MTV crossover hit series BWA legends house, which has seen many former BWA stars placed in a Big Brother esque environment. By quite a big margin the current favourite which the nation has seemingly taken to their hearts has been the middle eastern American Muhammad Hassan who has truely dismissed the negative sterotypes that dogged his early career whilst in the house.
Current BWA champs:
Tag Titles: Masato Tanaka & Hayabusu
IC Title: Jeff Jarett
World Title: Vacated
since former champion Ricky Steamboat had a career threatening injury... he has since moved on to another promotion where he can handle the pace better.
Co-GMs: John Laurenitis & Gorilla Monsoon
rumours were also circulating that Gorilla Monsoon hay have also signed a big name to the company recently that may be interested in the current vacant BWA title situation. Pictures have also been leaked of Mil Mascaras at BWA headquarters but it is unkown if this is who the rumours have been about. These pictures have also seemed to have put to bed the rumours that the BWA was looking into acquiring Rey Mysterio from another promotion as it appears the Mexican wrestler in question was Mascaras.0 -
Welcome to BWA Raw!
The show opens with a flurry of pyro's as the crowd go wild in anticipation of tonights show. Meanwhile the commentators are full of speculation both about a supposid big name that is supposed to be close to signing for the BWA and the rumour which has been circulating that Interm co-GM and VP of talent relations John Laurenaitis is going to award Triple H with the vacant BWA world heavyweight title here tonight.
It seems we wont have to wait too long to find out what's going done as the other co-GM of the BWA Gorilla Monsoon makes his way out to the ring.Monsoon: I'm not going to mess about here tonight. There are a lot of rumours flying around here tonight and im going to address them head on. I've been in negotiations with a lot of big name talent and although I have decided to keep these discussions in house until now unlike my co GM (refering to Laurenaitis's recent press conference with HHH) I can admit that I have used the fact that the BWA world title is currently vacant to my advantage in these negotiations. As far as im aware the BWA title will not just be handed over to someone here tonight, I instead intend to ensure that we have the best stars competing for the right to call themselves the best in the business and that starts here tonight with this announcement. As I ask you all to welcome the first man I have officially signed to the BWA roster for 2012 but not the last you will see tonight the one the only....
Then suddenly Rey Mysterio's music hits and the master of the 619 makes a dramatic debut that the crowd eat up
Backstage we see John Laurenaitis in his office talking to Kenta Kobashi. He tells Kobashi that he is better than Rey Mysterio and that if Monsoon thinks this signing is him getting one over him and will get him the full time GMs position then he is firmly mistaken. He then also lets slip that he will personally ensure that next week the BWA will see an even bigger mexican superstar debut. He then suggests the two settle in and enjoy tonights opening contest. Kobashi says nothing throughout but nods in agrement.
Opener: Shelton Benjamin vs Hayabusa
Our first match of the match has some real impressive high flying action from Hayubusa right from the start while Benjamin seems to be keeping his offense more traditional with numrous suplexs among other moves employed. The crowd seem really into it especially as Charlie Haas comes down to ringside. His constant interferance both drawing their disaproval and giving his partner a distinct advantage. Eventually the Ref steps in and bars him from ringside sending him to the back and Hayabusa is able to get back into the match and although he is already a bit beaten up actually gets his apponent in position for a 450 splash from the top rope. Unfortunatley before he gets a chance to execute it Haas remerges and knocks him back into the ring. The Ref calls for the bell
Winners by DQ: Hayabusa
Haas then quickly joins Benjamin in the ring and the two give their asian counterpart a severe beating, that is until Masato Tanaka runs down and makes the save for the other half of the BWA tag team champions. Although Benjamin & Haas clear the ring and head to the back having given up the official lose in the match they still seem pleased with their nights business. As they go they seem to also threaten Tanaka indicating that he's Next.
Backstage we see co GM Gorilla Monsoon welcome the BWA wrestling schools head trainer Killer Kowalski into his office. The two exchange pleasentries with Kowalski first congratulating Monsoon on signing Rey Mysterio to the BWA brand before Monsoon talked up Kowalski's training skills briefly mentioning how he trained HHH before saying how two of Kowalski's rookies had tryout matches here tonight.
**commercial break which features a promo for sunday nights episode of BWA Legends house highlighting Muhammad Hassan's popularity with some of his best moments so far**
next up is the first of 2 tryout matches for wrestlers from Killer Kowalski's BWA wrestling acadamy
Kenta Kobashi vs rookie #1
The rookie seems very nervious as he makes his way to the ring but seems to gain some piece of calm when his trainer Killer Kowalski makes his way down to the ring to support him. Unfortunatly for him though calm or not Kobashi is on form tonight and looks a true destructive force in the ring. He completely manhandles the youngster from the off and an early Burning Lariat almost ends the contest within moments of it beginning. From that point onwards Kowalski seemed to be urging Kobashi to stop the assault and go for the pin but Kobashi gave no response apart from continuing to punish the rookie with move after move. Eventually after multiple vicious chops Kobashi ends things a brainbuster in the centre of the ring and takes the 3 count leaving the younster motionless except for the occasional movement as he seems to cough up some blood.
Winner: Kenta Kobashi
a near emotionless Kobashi leaves the ring as Kowolski quickly enters to see to his trainee. Briefly the two men lock eyes in an intense staredown until Kenta now with a big grin on his face turns and heads to the back.
Backstage Gorilla Monsoon is seen incensed by how the show has started as he gets EMTs to head out to the ring.
*A brief recap of the recent BWA press conference with HHH & John Laurenaitis among others is played*
Jeff Jarett vs Masato Tanaka
Charlie Haas & Shelton Benjamin
Winner: Jeff Jarett
Jarett Grabs a Mic and trys to talk (he has to wait a minute for boos to die down)Double J: wooo... 1 second please the only current singles champion in the BWA has something to say (some more boos follow). For too long has the worlds greatest promotion, an american based promotion given the spotlight to foreign foes. This here is the home of the greatest American talent like myself an American hero and the very justly names Worlds Greatest Tag Team (who he gestures to along side him) and we plan to have that spotlight placed firmly back where it belongs. No longer will samurai wannabe, raw fish munching, towel heads be given the chance to bring their Jihads to our shores not while we are around (Major boos and heat from the crowd). These men have done nothing to warrant your adulation except oppose our American way of life and pursuit of happiness for far too long and if you cant see that it really is a sad day. Dont worry though like JFK I ask not what you can do for me but what I can do for my country and in your best intrestests a guarantee that me and these men here beside me who together make up The Worlds Gretest Stable will rid the company of the foreign blight that has infected it. We know it will not be easy to win you over afterall we all know you have been voting like crazy to help Muhammad Hassan win the BWA legends house show *spits on the ring mat before continuing* a god damned Terrorist in waiting! but dont worry we will not stop fighting till we not only liberate this company but also the minds of each and every one of you.
Backstage John Laurenaitis seemingly ignoring what has just happened can be seen congratulating Kenta Kobashi on his victory tonight. Big Johnny also seems to be revelling in the fact that Gorilla Monsoon's friend Killer Kowalski had to watch the devastation up close and personal. He admits that annoying his co GM gives him great pleasure and with that reminds everyone of the rumour which started the night out and the rumour which Monsoon quickly dismissed that Big Johnny intended to crown a new world champion here tonight. He then recieves a txt message and tells Kobashi "Hunter's here". Kobashi meerly nods as Laurenaitis hurries off.
BWA in ring debut: Rey Mysterio vs BWA wrestling academy rookie #2
The rookie in this match gives a much better account of himself than his earlier counterpart even without his trainer (who has accompanied the first rookie to hospital) at ringside. However tonight is Rey's debut night here in the BWA and he is determined not to be outdone and it isnt long before The BWA see's his trademark 619 and west coast pop for the first time as the masked superstar takes the win.
Winner: Rey Mysterio
backstage we get a brief look at John Laurenitis who says he is on his way out to the ring for a big announcement as we head to our final commercial for the night.
Main Event segment
John Laurenatis is standing in the ring as we return and has a microphone in his handBig Johnny: My name is John Laurenaitis and I am the VP of talent relation and interm co general manager here in the BWA. As you see here beside me is the recently vacated BWA world heavyweight championship. One of my jobs has been to attract talent to this company worthy of holding this belt and not to pat myself on the back or anything but they call me "Big Johnny" for a reason, nobody can attract the big names like I can. Therefore I would like to introduce to you the biggest name in professional wrestling today and a man who is worthy of being the next BWA champion Triple H
Hunter makes his way out and joins him in the ring.HHH: Tonight is my first night in the BWA but I have known for a long time that this is the place you have to be. This is the no.1 promotion in the entire world right now without a shadow of a doubt. Those rookies tonight would have been at home in a promotion like MNG or WECWF but here in the BWA they are lucky if they dont end up in the hospital. The cream always rises to the top though and now after John Laurenaitis made the wisest move any general manager could make I have but one thing in mind, becoming the longest reigning BWA champion of all time.
Big Johnny: Well thats great to hear Hunter and it should then please these fans immensly aswell as give me great pleasure to award to you the BWA world heavyweight title...
But just as he is about to hand HHH the title belt a very familar if new to the WWE song plays in the form of Wagner's Ride of the Valkyries. The crowd are going wild and seem to already know whats happening while to commentators wonder whats going on when suddenly Bryan Danielson emerges bringing with him his own WWE world heavyweight championship.
Eventually after much interaction with the fans at ringside he enters the ring and squares right up to Triple H and raising his title aloft to another big cheer from the crowd. Hunter looks enraged and as the show goes off the air we are left with the image of him staring a hole into Danielson's skull with the occasional peeved glance towards John Laurenitis who looks as shocked by Danielsons arrival in the BWA as anyone else.

Welcome to BWA Raw!
The show opens with a flurry of pyro's as the crowd go wild in anticipation of tonights show. Meanwhile the commentators are full of speculation both about what we can expect to see especially after last weeks unexpected show finish, where Bryan Danielson interupted what was going to be the crowning of a new BWA world heavyweight champion in Triple H.
It seems we wont have to wait long for the failout of that incident however as The Game himself HHH makes his way out to the ring. John Lauinaitisalso hurries down the ramp after him but its the demeanour of Hunter that really shows how serious he is here tonight. He takes a mic and adresses the crowd who to be honest seem fairly hostile towards him.HHH: Last week Daniel Bryan had the nerve to interupt me, right here in this very ring.... Daniel Bryan!
Big Johnny: Now Hunter although I must admit as the co GM of BWA Raw and the vice president of talent relations for the company I do know a good wrestler when I see one, and Daniel Bryan, well he is good.
(Hunter shoots him a very pissed off look)
Big Johnny: But he is not at your level, perhaps above the level of a WECWF or MNG star but not at your level so I really dont see a reason why I shouldn't just finish what I started last week and crown you BWA champion right here and now.
(finally if only for a moment HHH temporarily looks like perhaps he isnt about to snap and kill someone upon hearing this)
HHH: Finally youve started talking some sense Johnny, because lets be honest Daniel Bryan may call himself the King of the Indies but that Vanilla midget needs to get one thing into his head...I'm the King of Kings! Now give me my damn title!
o oh here we go again, just as Johnny goes to hand Hunter the Title out comes Bryan Danielson to Wagner's Ride of the Valkyre's. The crowd are loving it and again he spends a good minute interacting with the crowd who are clearly behind him already before picking up a microphone himself.Danielson: Hunter, hunter, hunter, it seems there are a few things nobody told you when you joined this promotion, namely this is not the WWE! he (points at Lauriniatis) is not Vince McMahon and you cant just be given whatever you want, you have to earn it! (the crowd cheer)
HHH: What makes you think you have the right to...
Danielson: wow, wow, wow, im not finished big nose (pop). I brought with me my World heavyweight championship, I am the best wrestler in the world, wrestling observers best technical wrestler for 7 years running and my names not Daniel Bryan, it's Bryan F*cking Danielson. (big cheer followed by a Bryan F*cking Danielson chant)
HHH: (Smirks) An internet newsletter has given you an award Bryan whoop di doo. I am the game, 13 time world champion and the very best in this business and thats not a news letter saying that its every promtion worth its salt aknowledging that I am that damn good. If you want I will humble you in the ring and break your little body in two during one of my first title defences but don't for a minute think...
Lauriniatis: Now Hunter there is no need for all this, I am the the gm of monday night Raw and Vice President of talent relations not Mr Danielson therefore I dont have to care what he has to say on the matter because I declare you Hunter as the new BWA...
Once again this announcement is interupted but this time by an appearance from big Johnny's co GM Gorilla MonsoonMonsoon: Johnny boy, I've got one thing to ask you... Will you stop? The BWA is the greatest promotion in the world and we are not going to just hand our title over to someone, They have to win it. Now I guaranteed Bryan Danielson a title opportunity when I signed him to the company and I intend to keep my word. So HHH how about in 3 weeks at the BWA No Way Out PPV you go one on one with Bryan Danielson for the greates prize in our business.
(Laurinitais goes to speak but Hunter puts his hand over his mic)
HHH: Your on!
(Danielson looks delighted)
Monsoon: but hang on there's a catch. I told you you arent just going to get things handed to you here in the BWA. You debut in ring here tonight, and if you cant win your match then I dont care what you did elsewhere you wont be deserving of a title shot here.
Just like the end of the show last week HHH is left fuming in the ring as Big Johnny tries to calm him down as we head backstage.
Backstage we see Killer Kowalski trying to motivate one of BWA wrestling accademy rookies. We are told that Kenta Kobashi felt bad that he ended up sending on of the rookies to the hospital last week and has offered to compete in another tryout match to make up for it. Kowalski is telling him to believe in himself and show the same confidence he does in training and he will have nothing to worry about.
Opener: Kenta Kobashi vs Rookie
We are almost immediatley made question the sincerity of the supposed remorse from Kobashi about his actions last week as this one starts. This is because firstly the big asian ignored an offered handshake to start the match but also due to the sheer ferocity of the chops he delivers as this one begins. He really does not give the youngster a chance to think and after an early barage of moves culimating with a powerbomb, Kobashi's opponent can barely stand under the weight of his own feet. At this point his trainer Killer Kowalski rushes down to ringside as the commentators point out Kobashi does not care about the win but seems to want to make a statement tonight. Like last week Kowalski urges Kobashi to end the match but Kobashi doesent even aknowledge Kowaslki's presence and instead hits a DDT followed by a brainbuster to leave the poor man near unconcious as he is then put in a boston crab submission. Kowalski cant take it anymore and tries to get into the ring to stop the carnage but the ref holds him at bay just long enough to witness a near lifeless hand tap out so he can award Kobashi the win.
Winners by submission: Kenta Kobashi
Kowalski immediatly breaks the hold and gets in between Kobashi and his trainee to protect him from further injury. Kobashi who is now staring right at Kowalski changes his expression from his normal near emotionless self to a sinister laugh as he exits the ring.
Backstage we see co GM John Laurinitis with HHH who he seems to have calmed down somewhat. He tells hunter that he came up with his great idea while watching his good friend Kenta Kobashi competing and that while hunter will be glad of the training pre his PPV debut (where he adds he will win the BWA title) the fans too will be delighted to see such innovate thinking put into action to create their main event. Those very same fans are left wondering what Big Johnny has in store for them later as we head to commercial with the co-GM sending a text to someone.
**commercial break which features a promo for sunday nights live episode of BWA Legends house highlights the last week including when the housemates get their one bit of news from the outside world each week, their viewing of BWA Raw. Muhammad Hassan's reactions to Jeff Jarrett's racial slurs and the formation of the self proclaimed Worlds Greatest stable are particularily noteworthy. He may have won over the people at home during his time in the house but he doesent look very happy here**
Match 2: Necro Butcher vs Shelton BenjaminBefore this match begins Necro Butcher grabs a microphone and explains his absence from BWA Raw last week. He states that the state that weeks Raw took place in had blocked him from appearing. That he was to quote "too violent to particupate" based off a previous match he had had there. He eludes to a deathmatch he had won previously in that very arena where he nearly died in doing so, saying the crowd that night loved every minute of it. Tonight he says that he is also fighting under constraints, as he has been booked in a straight wrestling match. Thats not what the people want to see, thats not what the people expect from Necro Butcher he says but there is a silver lining in just 3 weeks at BWA No way out it will be PPV rules. He points out that the PPV will be held in Texas and that John Lauriniatis has assured him that in texas his demand for the BWA's first ever death match will be met. Who his opponent will be he ponders but...
He is interupted by the music of the worlds greates tag team as Shelton Benjamin who is joined by Charlie Haas maker their way out.
The match begins quickly and Butcher initally surprises a lot of people with his mat based skills. He however is not only limited by this non hardcore environment but also by Charlie Haas's appearance at ringside. Haas is a constant distraction and allows Benjamin to get on top and he almost gets the pin after a T-bone suplex but Necro butcher kicks out after 2. Haas is now on the ring apron cheering his tag partner on as the two combatants get to their feet. Butcher spotting him charges the ropes with a big forearm but Haas drops down at the last moment pulling the ropes with him and sending Necro crashing to the outside.
As he comes to his senses it seems like the butcher is fixated on something and as Haas approaches him he grabs a big glasss bottle off the commentaors desk in front of him and smashes it. This is the butcher that the fans wanted to see and they roar in approval as he calls haas towards him. He never gets a chance to turn hardcore though as Benjamin with a baseball slide sends him crashing head first into the announce table and onto the shards of broken glass he had just left there. Now coverd in blood Haas grabs Necro Butcher and tosses him back into the ring where after he groggily gets up unable to see due to the blood in his eyes he is hit by a Benjamin Super kick. 1-2-3 and Shelton gets the win.
Winner: Shelton Benjamin
Shelton quickly exits the ring and him and Haas head up the ramp as Necro butcher gets back up and wipes the blood off his face. Looking down at his bloody hands he smiles and starts shouting about how Benjamin didnt beat him cos he's still standing.
backstage we see Gorilla Monsoon talking to Killer Kowalski but luckily Monsoon is able to change topics from Kobahi's earlier actions vs Kowalski's trainee and makes the conversation about his co GM John Lauriniatis. He says that he is out of control but suggests that his latest move will backfire on him and that he will ensure as much people as possible will see that. He says that a match and moment this big deserves an audience and thats why he was making it tonights main event. Kowalski looks pleased
we return to the ring with a big cheer from the crowd as Rey Mysterio makes his way down to the ring. He has a microphone in his hand as he enters the ringRey Mysterio: Last week I made my debut here in the BWA and won my first official BWA match. Almost straight after it I was was informed that co GM John Laurinitias had promised an even bigger Mexican star would debut tonight. Although i'll admit the timing of this announcement and how he seemed to play down how big a star I was annoyed me a little, I was more excited to find out who was joining me here in the countrys no.1 promotion and went straight to Big Johnny myself. Mr Laurinitias was apologetic for the wording he used last week and offered to allow me to introduce to you his newest aquisition here tonight. (Rey has two chairs set up in the ring presumably for himself and the about to debut other Mexican star)
Rey: So it gives me great pleasure to make an introduction that im sure you will all be taking about for a long time to come and welcome to the BWA... Mil Mascaras
Mascaras makes his way out to a good crowd reaction and gets in the ring where he signals his appreciation of the audience in attendance, before turning towards Rey. He extends his arm to Rey and the two shake hands. However in a shocking twist Rey does not release Mascaras's hand and instead catches him with an unexpect leg strike to the side of his head which sends him crashing to his knees. then as Mil gets back to his feet Mysterio Mystrio grabs the chair thats set up in the ring and cracks it across the back of Mascaras causing him to fall forwards and land head first on the bottom ring rope. Rey drops the chair and immediatley goes for and connects with his 619 to the prone Mascaras before exiting the ring.
As he heads up the ramp Rey celebrates like he has just won a match but the crowd arent best pleasesd and the ultimate babyface even recieves some boos for his actions here tonight.
We are then brought to a press briefing from earlier today with John Laurinatis:Reporter: Once again we have to ask you for your response to recent comments from MNG & WECWF officials regarding your promotion and the monday night wars?
John Laurinitias: My name is Mr John Laurinitis and I am the interm co general manager and Vice president of talent relations in the BWE and as such I have to keep my finger on the pulse with regards everything that concerns this promotion, with everything from our upcoming No Way Out PPV to the rumoured final faceoff between in the monday night wars. I can now officially inform you that these are more than just rumours. BWA President Bounty Hunter was recently on a scouting mission in Viatnam of all places and has secured a venue known as The "Hanoi Hilton" for the PPV. If Mr Sobchek of the WECWF doesent have too many flashbacks and Mr Nice Guy is ok withmaking this a truely global affair then we have a proposal for them. 6 matches, 3 one on one matches that will see each fed face off against the other individually and 3 triple threat matches that will see the very best from each federation be put forward to represnt there side be they singles or tag stars. We've beaten these guys in the ratings long enough now we want to beat them in the ring and prove we are the best in the ring. Its time for Cornette, McMahon and everyone at these lower level fed to either put up or shut up in the monday night wars, and if they agree to this PPV we will shut them up once and for all
there were more highlights but these are the words the commentators focus on when we return from the next commercial
*A brief recap of the BWA's biggest PPVs is shown which while advertising the best of the BWA volume 1 also looks forward to the upcoming BWA No Way Out PPV which now has headlining it Triple H vs Bryan Danielson for the vacant BWA world title*
Jeff Jarrett vs Hayabusa
Before this match begins we are told that the world Greates tag team and Hayabusa's partner Masato Tanaka are banned from ringside for this match after the events of last week.
Hayabusa is still clearly not at 100% after last weeks attack and seems very slow in the early goings here while clearly favouring his left leg. It's not long before Jarrett spots this and begins working his right. he locks in a figure four leg lock and keeps it held for several minutes during which time the titontron shows what the commentators explain happened just minutes ago as Masato Tanaka was watching on a monitor backstage Charlie Haas & Shelton Benjamin attacked him from behind. It is whilst these images are being shown that Hayabusa reluctantly taps out in order to avoid more serious injury. Another bad day at the office for the tag champs.
Winner: Jeff Jarett
Jarett Grabs a Mic and trys to talk (he once again has to wait a minute for boos to die down).JJ: I know, I know (refering to the boo's) The truth is not always the easiest to hear, but you will listen! [He raises his Intercontinental championship above his head] This is my IC title and I will defend it for the last ever time at BWA No Way Out. No I will not lose this title instead I will retire this title and be reinstate my United States championship, a title I will only defend against peolpe from these United states.
I told you last week that myself and the rest of the worlds greatest stable were making it our mission to rid this company of the blight of foreigners that has affected it and we are starting by making sure that all the BWA gold is out of foreign hands. Charlie Haas & Shelton Benjamin will be the next tag team champions and I will be the united states champion and no more rag heads, japs or spicks will ever be champions again! (big boos) The day of the American Hero is almost upon you and when it comes you will thank me.
Again there are boos after his last statement but before he can continue the boos change to cheers with the shock arrival of Muhammad Hassan. Isn' he supposed to be in the BWA Legends house? wonder the announcers but he obviously couldnt wait any longer to get his hands on Jarrett as he ruses the ring. The cowardly Jarett slides out the other side of the ring though and quickly makes his way out of the arena. The crowd dont care though they are going wild for the return of te middle eastern amrican superstar as he stands in the ring still fuming at JJ but also soaking in their welcome back chants.
Backstage we see Bryan Danielson enter Gorilla Monsoon's office where we find Killer Kowalski once again but this time he is in his wrestling gear. Danielson wishes him good luck and asks if he can come out to ringside to witness the return of a real legend to the ring up close and personal. Kowalski allows this and as we head to our last commercial for the night the commentators are really talking up the student vs the teacher angle of tonights main event as it was Kowalski who actually trained Triple H how to wrestle.
When we return Danielson is making his way out to ringside title in hand and actually joins the announce team for this match. throughout the match he talks up the fact that he was never defeated as WWE world heavyweight champion and deserves his chance at BWA gold but that Hunter has done nothing to warrant his yet and that if he cant win tonight he wont be getting one, even going as far as saying that he would love to face Kowolski for the gold.
Main Event: HHH vs Killer Kowalski
After there entrances this one gets started with the two combatants showing each other much respect and trading holds and reversals in the early going. Triple H seems to be the quicker to the punch but Kowalski frustrates him and when he reverses an early pedigree attempt with a backdrop and follows it up by hitting a very impressive piledriver on his former pupil the crowd go wild and start chanting "you've still got it, you've still got it". He only gets a 2 count though and the two go back and forth for the next 10 or so minutes in what the commetators note must be a tougher test for HHH than he was expecting.
It's now that big Johnny Lauriniatis makes his way down to ringside to cheer Hunter who he brought to the BWA on. He is quickly joined by Monsoon who is supporting his friend Kowolski. back in the ring Kowalski can be clearly seen to have lost a little respect for his former student as Hunter uses an eye rake to get on top in the match. This is followed by a Facebreaker knee smash and then he lifts him up to once again go for a pedigree but once again Kowalski counters this time with the infamous Kowalski Claw. The crowd go wild as do the commentators (Danielson in particular) as it looks like the BWA veteran could upset the odds here. Eventually HHH is able to make Kowalski release his grip as a result of a kick which looks almost like low blow and the game rolls to the outside to regain his composure.
On commentary Danielson is going mad shouting about how Trips just used a low blow but all this achieves is getting the attension of Big Johnny who gets right up in his face. After a heated interchange between the two Lauriniatis orders Danielson to the back but as he gestures towards the back he accidenttly catches Gorilla Monsoon with a elbow to the face. Getting back to his feet in the ring Kowalski's is momentarily distracted by the fracas outside involving his friend and doesent notice HHH getting back into the ring and when he turns around he is hit by a kick to the gut that the game immediatley follows up with a Pedigree before getting the 3 count.
Big Johnny quickly gets into the ring and lifts HHH arm as Danielson helps Monsoon to his feet on the outside. The final image of the night is those two watching on as HHH climbs to the second turnbuckle and makes his signature pose while the commentators confirm that our main event for BWA No Way Out is now officially HHH vs Bryan Danielson for the BWA title.

6 Man Tag team match: BWA vs WECWF
Rey Mysterio, Mil Mascaras & Blue Demon vs Kerry, Kevin & David Von Erich
Backstory: The Von Erich's were uncerimoniously futured endevoured from the BWA by Big Johnny Lauriniatis after a scandal broke involving another former BWA employee Lacey Von Erich & Jenna Jameson (who was managing Sid Vicious in the BWA at the time). The firing revolved around The Von Erich's filing a law suit against the BWA preventing backstage footage of Lacey & Jenna together, a law suit which they won despite Johnny having David Otunga in his corner (At this point he hadnt been drafted to anyone). The Von Erich's had always been bitter that they lost their jobs as a result of the BWAs insistance on running that spot and due to this they intentially joined the BWAs fearce rivals WECWF. When the talk of a tri-promotional PPV came about they immediatly wanted in and specifically challenged the BWA's mexican trio to this match. Perhaps they believe beating all three of these recent big signings to the BWA will show that they never should have been treated so poorly. Co-incidently 24hrs prior to this match someone leaked the footage of Lacey & Jenna, nobody thus far has accepted responsibilty for the leak but The Von Erich's are out for blood especially Lacey's father who says the non PG prmotion "will pay for what they have done to the reputation of the great Von Erich family name".
Match: The backstory seemed to be all about the Von Erich's but the match story is more about the Mexican ensemble. They simply cannot work as a team desite a lot of individual promise. If they werent going for Plancha suicida dives it was attempted submission moves when it really was far too early to expect such a finish. The announcers suggest this is because they want to try and get an early finish as they dont want to have to work together with their PPV opponents. The reluctance to tag out though adds an extra strain on them and The brother Von Erich slowly get a hold of this match. A tornado punch from Kerry almost gets a 3 count on BLue Demon for example but the Mexican legend kicks out after two. Later when David von Erich goes for the Von Erich Claw on Mil Mascaras nobody comes to his aid and breaks the hold. Eventually he makes it to the ropes and the ref forces the hold to be released but the damage is getting done and the Von Erichs are getting on top here.
The finish comes after Rey Mysterio grows increasingly frustrated at not getting tagged in. Blue Demon is in the ring with Kevin Von Erich who hits a sweet dropkick knocking his masked apponent onto the ropes next to his corner. This is the perfect opportunity to tag out but again he ingnores Mysterio's outstreched arm. Rey simply cannot take it anymore and while Kevin is tagging back in Kevin Rey drops off the ring apron and starts heading to the back. The announcers start talking about how he is abondoning his teammates and how this is typical of his new attitude when suddenly he stops and they wonder if he's had a change of heart (is the old rey still in there)... nope. He does return however and gives Blue Demon who is still getting his breath back on the ring steps a physical slap in the face and a metaphorical one as he rips his mask off him. Blue Demon is able to conceal his face but now immediatley tags Mil Mascaras and exits the ring. Blue Demon follows Rey up the ramp and into the back all while covering his face and in doing so leaves Mascaras totally alone in the ring.
Mascaras puts up a valiant effort but eventually the numbers game is too much for him and he is worn down enough to allow Kerry lock in the Claw which eventually results in a submission win for the Von Erich's and some small amount of retribution against the BWA. A shot of the WECWF lockeroom is shown on the titantron and suffice to say they are pleased with what they have just seen.
Winners: The Von Erichs
Triple threat main event: BWA vs MNG vs WECWF
Bryan Danielson vs HBK vs CM Punk
Backstory: When The Tri Branded PPV was announced main eventers from each brand were each asked via email who they would like to face off against. A lot of dream matches were pictched but managements choice was then made easy as all three of HBK, CM Punk & Bryan Danielson each returned only each others names in their replies. The Match has been dubbed a best in the world decider as all three men claim that the other two are the only ones they consider on their level. Danielson had considerd that a great accolade considering his past rivalry with CM Punk from their time on the independant scene and as HBK was one of the men he credits as having trained him. CM Punk meanwhile obviously either has fond memories of that rivalry or still feels he didnt give it the cproper conclussion he thinks it deserves, but idolised HBK growing up and to quote the man he feuded with in last years draft says "to be the man you have to beat the man". Michaels's story meanwhile has added an extra dimension to the match altogether. He is currently threatening to leave Monday Night Grappling with their main belt in his possesion and it has been rumoured to be about to jump ship to either WECWF or the BWA with it. He obviously still has strong ties with the BWA's HHH but a potential DX reunion aside he now has a opportunity to prove himself against who he feels would be his main opponents at either promotion.
Match: Michaels was obviously first out is reunited with HHH in the ring when the other two make their entrances. eventually HHH is forced to leave the ring by the official but he interestingly does not leave ringside. Instead it seems as one announcer suggests he will be "The ultimate cheerleader" here for Michaels tonight.
It has to be said Bryan Danielson is a little distracted by his BWA No Way Out opponent being at ringside as this one starts off and its he who takes the brunt of the offense in the early going.
The match goes stages of development where we see firstly two men team up to get an advantage over someone else only to then ultimatly begin to fight themselves when a pinfall opportunity arises. Firstly former pupil and apprentice, HBK and Danielson team up on Punk. Then when the cocky Shawn turns on Bryan, Punk and HBK have the upper hand. Perhaps HBK is a little too cocky here though and when danielson reverses him with a back body drop Punk just goes with the flow and now alligns himself with Danielson as an "ROH" chant breaks out. CM Punk is definatly getting the most offense in out of the three and notably even hits a GTS on danielson during one of these stages. Despite this the announcers talk about how these men really are nearly matching each other step for step here and that it will take something special to take one of them out of the game giving someone a real chance to make a 3 count pin. Then it happens, despite being on the backfoot HBK pulls a sweet chin music out of nowhere on CM Punk and sends him crashing to the outside. He looks like he is out cold and obviously will take his time getting back into this one.
In the ring Danielson & HBK are still going at it hell for leather, both knowing that now might be there chance with it only being 1 on 1 for the time being. Danielson is the first to really go for it and after a series of impressive suplexs including both a Dragon Suplex and a Regal plex he locks in a bodyscissored Crossface chickenwing. Eventually Michaels is able to break the hold and comes back at Danielson with a shocking burst of adrenaline and a huge number of right hands to put him firmly back on top of his former student. He then trys not one but two differnt submission moves out on Bryan first a figure four leg lock and then secondly when danielson finally wriggles out of that a sharpshooter. All the while HHH is looking on with glee as Danielson writhes in pain but eventually HBK breaks the hold of his own volition. Danielson takes his time getting back to his feet and entirely misses what happens next. CM Punk has gotten back up to his feet and climbs back up onto the apron when suddenly for the second time tonight he is hit with sweet chin music and sent crashing back onto the mat outside. HBK has a real swagger about him atm this is the old cocky as hell HBK for sure states one announce as he starts tuning up the band once more signalling that hes about to end things. Danielson is able to dodge the kick however and surprises Michaels by immidealty hitting a HBKesque super kick to the MNG star. The announcers urge him to go for a pin but instead he looks at HHH and says "this will be you" before locking in his Cattle Mutilation submission hold. 1 hope for HBK though is that the man he twice sent crashing to the outside C Punk is finally back up to his feet and ready to get back into this match.
He is about to step through the ring ropes when once again he is sent crashing to the floor below but this time its due to the arrival of Jake "The Snake" Roberts on the scene. The man who will face Punk at the upcoming WECWF PPV is stomping a hole into Punk on the outside of the ring while on the inside HBK looks almost ready to tap out. The referee however having noticed (thanks to HHH pointing it out) Jake's arrival starts calling for security personal to assist him as he steps out of the ring to try and get Jake to leave. Hunter takes this opportunity to finally do what the announcers have been wondering if he'd do this whole time and gets involved physically. Using CM Punks WECWF title belt he strikes danielson across the head which obviously causes him to break his hold on HBK who looked like he was mid tapping out at the time (not that it would matter with the refs attension elsewhere). He then helps HBK back to his feet and exits the ring. Its take a longer time than expected for Jake to be removed because it seems he has brought his old friend damien along with him. The ref realising its not his place to mess with a snake leaves it to the security though and heads back into the ring. He does so just in time to see HBK hit his third Sweet chin music of the night but first to Danielson who is out for the count 1-2-3 we have a winner!
Winner: HBK
As the show goes of the air we get a mini DX reunion in the ring while Danielson groggy on the outside looking p!ssed off and WECWF rivals now fighting in amongst the security who have succesfully taken Jake's Snake from him. The crowd are going mad and there are o so many questions raised about how this has went down. Will HBK be heading to the BWA with MNG gold? Is he now truely the best in the world? How will Danielson respond to what HHH just did to him when they meet on PPV? Was CM Punk screwed tonight? or if Jake vs Punk could get anymore heated before they square off?0 -

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

Blue Demon0 -
Welcome to BWA Raw!
We start the BWA's final TV show on their tour of Mexico amidst a lot of speculation with regards BWA No Way Out next week and the tri-promotional BWA/MNG/WECWF PPV on the horizon. One of the announcers is in the ring and kicks things off on the mic by introducing a man who has only just been signed to a BWA contract and a man who he says he is sure that the fans here in Mexico will be pleased to welcome to the ring just as they were with Blue Demon & Mil Mascaras the past two weeks. The man he introduces and who does indeed get a great reaction from the crowd is none other than... Blue Demon Jr.
Suddenly the arena lights are dimmed and blue smoke begins to rise, then as the lights come back up the man him himself Blue Demon Jr is standing next to the announcer in the ring who passes him the mic before swiftly exiting through the ropes.
Blue Demon Jr (Once the crowd reaction dies down enough for him to speak and after he has thanked them for the warm welcome) says that he asked his father not to accompany him out here tonight because he wanted to prove to the world that he is his own man. He says that his father is perhaps the greatest mexican wrestler of all time but that the Blue Demon bloodline is a strong one and he will not be relying on his father for recognition here in the BWA. He says that although his father is a former 2 time NWA World Welterweight Championship he was never a World Heavyweight Championship and yet already at his young age he has already not only done so but that he held that belt for over 500 days. He is almost starting to sound arrogant but the audience are seemingly with him each step of the way even as he states that he has conquored professional wrestling here in Mexico which is why he says he has joined the BWA. He then states that one day soon he will be the BWA champion also and then nobody can despute that he is not only the best Mexican wrestler at the moment but simply the best in the world.
It's at this point that he is interupted by the arrival and music of Dan "The Beast" Severn.Severn: God dammit, I am sick of this. Week after, week week we have to sit here and listen to another one of you masked mexicans going on about how your the best thing since sliced bread, well im sorry your not, your nothing. You held the NWA title for 500 days, try over 4 years, and that was when the title meant something. (If this was in America perhaps this would be going down well but its def not here tonight)
Honestly your deluded little man. If you think you will ever get a shot at the BWA title. I've been here a long time, a former American Olympic wrestling team member and UFC hall of famer. To summarise im a real man and yet ive not gotten a shot at the big belt here, hell im not even on the BWA No Way Out card so you know what, you wanna come out here and talk the talk, how about you try and walk the walk this sunday. Thats right Demon spawn you and me, 1 on 1 at No Way Out, what do you say?
Unfortunatley though just before Blue Demon Jr gets the chance to respond he is blindsided by Shelton Benjamin & Charlie Haas who after coming through the crowd on opposite sides of the arena attack him. They start beating down on him as Severn slowly makes his way into the ring as does Jeff Jarrett who has now also emerged from the crowd. Benjamin and Haas hold Blue Demon Jr up and Severn delivers a vicious near KO right hand to him kicking him off his feet but they arent satisfied and before Jarrett who now has the Mic in his hand speaks the process is repeated and Severn nearly cracks Blue Demon Jrs jaw.Jarett: We 4 are the Worlds Greatest stable and we have made an impression here tonight in Mexico (amidst a shower of boos, when they die down even a little he continues)... and we intend to do the very same this Sunday. Not only will I your American hero Jeff Jarrett (he seems to have forgotten where he is, as the boos continue)....will both defeat the terrorist in waiting Muhammad Hassan and retire the Intercontinental championship (replacing it witth the US title) so that it can never again fall into foreign hands, be that of a camel jockey or any no good lazy mexicans.
he then passes the Mic to Shelton Benjamin
Benjamin: Me and chalie here are the greatest tag team in the world today and were going to prove our point at No Way Out by getting the tag team belts back in American hands against those Kamikaze Samurai wannabes Hayabusa & Tanaka. [Haas then leans in onto the Mic]
Haas: O yeah and after last week (when he and Shelton won a match by DQ to earn the right to name the PPV stip) we have decided we will win the belts in our specialty match, a ladder match!
He then hands the mic to the seemingly new 4th member of the group Dan Severn
Severn: Meanwhile I will prove that its time the BWA management stop wasting their time with these no good immigrants they keep signing (big heat) and instead...
He is interupted by Blue Demon Sr and the crowd go wild as he charges down the ramp to help his boy. Before his music properly even kicks in he is in the ring and going toe to toe with Severn & Jarrett. Eventually the numbers get to be too much for him and he is knocked to the outside but he grabs his kids leg and drags him to the outside with him and helps him to stand.
Jarett and Co are goading him to get back into the ring when suddenly via the titantron BWA co GM Gorilla Monsoon appears. He briefly talks about how he is fed up of the how the self proclaimed worlds greatest stable have been acting here in the BWA and announces that he will have no more of it here tonight. His solution he says.... 8 man tag match! and who will partner The Father & Son Blue Demons you ask? well Monsoon has the answer. it will be Blue Demons 2 opponents at No Way Out and another two fellow Mexican Mil Mascaras & Rey Mysterio! and if that isnt enough he says that match is going to open the show tonight (lucky the WGS are dressed for action).
*Commercial break*
As we return from commercial break Rey Mysterio is making his way down to the seemingly reluctantly to join the other Mexicans at ringside including Mil Mascaras who made his enterance during the break. The announcers are speculating wether this is really a 3 on 4 match up as Blue Demon Jr def seems worse for wear before this begins.
Match 2: 8 man tag: The self proclaimed Worlds Greatest stable vs Rey Mysterio, Mil Mascaras, Blue Demon & Blue Demon Jr
This match is one the crowd really get into but just like in the opening promos they are left frustrated and booing as this one comes to its conclusion as Rey Mysterio Walks out on his Mexican brothers and in doing so essentially makes this a 4 on 2 match due to the pre match beating Blue Demon Jr took. Eventually it is Blue Demon Jr who after tagging himself in against his fathers wishes is caught in Jeff Jarrett's figure four leg lock and forced to tap out.
Winners: The WGS
backstage we see Bryan Danielson who later tonight has a match with Kenta Kobashi, he has this to sayDanielson: What can I say Josh (Matthews) the BWA isnt quite what I imagined it. Last week I got Pedigreed in the middle of the ring to close the show, my opponent for tonight made a sneak attack on a wrestling legend (Killer Kowalski) and now I see a bunch of Redneck hicks getting title shots and defeating legends... I mean it's mad.
Josh: Do you think you made a mistake coming here?
Danielson: Hell no! If legends like Kowalski dont get cut any slack then you know this is truely where the big dogs play. I mean Killer would would win the top belts in lower promotions like WECWF or MNG with ease but here he gets no respect. Now I've talked before about bringing a sense of respect back to the BWA title and (now staring right into the camera) Hunter maybe you have turned your back on one former mentor (Kowalski) but let me quote another of them for you, "To be the man you have to beat the man" and Hunter we all know you think you are the man so this sunday prove it, cos just like up next tonight when I take out Kenta kobashi for what he did to Kowalski I will fight an honourable fight at No Way Out because you know what... I am the Man! (as he says this he lifts his WWE world heavyweight championship up high). As we return to ringside the commentators speculate if when that belt is unified with the currently vacated BWA world title it will still be in Danielson's posession.
Bryan Danielson vs Kenta Kobashi
Match of the night and a real wrestling feast that more than compensates for the lack of ring action compared to promos tonight. They go nearly 20mins in what is a real sxhibition of the talents of not only BWA title challenger Bryan Danielson but also of Kenta Kobashi who really impresses before he will go 1 on 1 with Killer Kowalski this sunday. The finish eventually comes when KObashi trys to lock in a submission move only for Danielson to reverse it into his LaBelle lock which Kobashi is eventually forced to tap to for our second submission victory of the night.
Winner: Bryan Danielson
We head backstage and to an interview with Muhammad Hussan who has just arrived at the arena and is asked about being in tonights main event.Interviewer: Considering everything that has been going on with yourself an Jeff Jarett in recent weeks, do you feel your full focus will be on your match tonight with The Game, HHH?
Hassan: no matter what else is going on...It has to be. HHH is a real ring general, a man worthy of challenging for the BWA title this sunday and if im going to be heading into the PPV in any condition to shut Jarrett up then I will need to focus on nothing more than Hunter tonight.
Interviewer: Care to elaborate with regards Jarrett?
Hassan: Not really, he's a no good racist punk. You know it, I know it and these good people here in Mexico know it (cheap pop). We have heard a lot in the build up to this PPV about respect and he is a man that simply does not know the meaning of the word. He talks about knowing whats best for the BWA universe well why not listen to it you redneck bast*rd. (he trys to calm himself down as the crowd chant "redneck bast*rd" over and over) But as I said this night is not about him and i've got a match to prepare for...
As he walks out of shot we head back out to the announcers at rinsgside who are mulling over Hassan's words. They say that HHH will have to truely be The Game tonight as it looks like BWA's resident Middle Eastern American as had a fire lit under him. They are given something new to talk about though as John Lauriniatis makes his way out to the ringBig Johnny: As you all know I am Mr John Lauriniatis, vice president of talent relations and interm co GM here at BWA monday night Raw and in that role I last week booked a match for No Way Out this sunday where BWA legend Killer Kowalski would face off 1 on 1 with my personal friend and japanese wrestling icon Kenta Kobashi. In the interest of you fans (they boo him) I also added a stipulation to that match up should my co GM accept it. If you fans are wrong and Kowalski doesnt infact "still got it" then Gorilla Monsoon will step down as general manager leaving me, Big Johnny (accompanied by a big Smirk) in total control. So Monsoon what do you say, willing to put your job where your mouth is? I'm game.
Without hesitation Gorilla Monsoon comes outMonsoon: John (shakes his head at him) i've just got 3 words for you...(the crowd join him as he says this) Will You Stop! you know as well as I do that the chairman of the board Bounty Hunter (revealed last year to be Jay Leno) has stated that he will have an offical ruling tonight on the general managers position moving forward. I dont know what your trying to achieve by calling me out here but give over will you!
Johnny: okay okay you caught me out Gino. I dont expect an answer from you on that but I do want to remind you of something. As co GM of Monday night Raw I may need to okay with you any PPV match booked but I dont have to get your approval before making a match on Raw.
Monsoon: yeah so?
Johnny: well Monsoon I was looking over the active roster list when booking tonights matches and one thing struck me... Your name! you never took your name off the list Gino.
Monsoon: Dont you dare, Lauriniatis
Big Johnny: o but I already have... (another big smile)... and your match is next!
Johnny joins the announce team for this match as Monsoon makes his way down to the ring reluctantly to find out what match he has been booked in. The announcers point out how lucky it is that Monsoons normal clothes can essentially double as wrestling attire once he removes his top as Johnny explains that he has booked Monsoon with his friend (who now makes his enterance) Killer Kowalski versus the BWA tag team champions who he reminds us should be at 100% after he gave them both the night off last. The announcer wonder though if they still will be after we are done in this contest.
Opener: Gorilla Monsoon & Killer Kowalski vs Hayabusa & Masato Tanaka
Monsoon is obviously suffering some ring rust as the announcers put it as this one begins but is still obviously quite the handfull in the ring. However its the hig flying antics of the tag champs that catches the eye including when Hayabusa hits a successful 450 splash on Monsoon in the corner only for the co GM to get his foot on the bottom rope to stop the count. This leads the announcers to suggest that maybe this sundays tag title match stipulation (a Ladder match) will suit these two just as much as the WGTT. Similarily later when Tanaka performs a tornado DDT onto Kowalski they say "Imagine this was no way out, he could legallly do that move onto a ladder!" Considering the conversation it then seemed almost apt that Shelton Benjamin & Charlie Haas choose this moment to come down to ringside.
These two have gotten themselves involved in Tanaka & Hayabusa's matches almost every week recently and it seems there mear appearance here has been too much for "The Flying Assasin" Hayabusa who climbs the turnbuckle and goes for a shocking but o so impressive shooting star press to the outside landing on both Haas & Benjamin and taking them out. Unfortunatly for him though this also distracts his partner who only has to take his eye off Kowalski for one moment in the ring to leave him suceptable to his signature Kowalski Claw move which Tanaka taps out of. Shockingly thats our 3rd submission win of the night which the announcers point out while wondering if the main event will also finish in such a way.
Winners: Monsoon & Kowalski
Monsoon & Kowalski help their opponents back to their feet and despite them being opponents moments ago all four now stand united in the ring which causes Haas & Benjamin to back up the ramp towards the back. Just as they disapeer and the cameras returns to the ring our attension is once again brought to the entrance ramp when we get the unexpected arrival of "The Franchise" Shane Douglas. He makes his way straight to the ring and whispers something to Kowalski, Tanaka & Hayabusa which results in them leaving the ring and heading to the back. he then grabs a Mic and has the following to sayJohn L: What are you doing here?
Franchise: what you didnt expect to see your old tag team partner here Johnny? well I guess whenever you spotted that Monsoon here was still listed as an active wrestler wasnt today cos since 9am this morning my name has been there too.
Both co GMs look very confused by this statement and are asking each other if they signed him.
Franchise: NO neither of you two signed me, I was signed by the dude who signs your checks, the chairman himself Bounty Hunter and he asked me here tonight to send you both a very special message. (He opens a letter and continues) He says that he will decide how a full time general manager of BWA Raw will be chosen not you two, and that it wont be decided by Killer Kowalski nor Kenta Kobashi either.
Monsoon: Then what's going down?
Franchise: Well now im sure you didnt check the list of active wrestlers either Johnny cos it says here that as of this morning you have been added to it too
John L: What?
Franchise: yeah I mean otherwise the chairman couldn't have booked your PPV match , now could he?
again Johnny repeats his What while Monsoon starts laughing hysterically.
Franchise: This Sunday, 1 on 1 with the BWA general managers office on the line, it will be Gorilla Monsoon vs you Johnny in a winner takes all match. O yeah and 1 other thing i'm the guest referee!
he then drops the Mic and exits the ring while Johnny protests much to Monsoons amusement.
The two announcer suggest that Douglas will side with a different GM at the PPV one sighting his former yag partnership with the man who was then known as Johnny Ace while the other points to a serious of shoot interviews he did which didnt exactly make it look like he and Johny were on the best of terms. We are then brought backstage we are brought to an Interview with HHHInterviewer: I'm going to put to you the same question I asked your opponent tonight earlier tonight, With all that is going on between yourself and Bryan Danielson do you think you will be able to have your full focus on your opponent tonight Muhammad Hassan.
Triple H: focus on Hassan? No, I have one focus right now. becoming the next BWA world champion. Hassan despite his talent is destined to be meerly a bump on my road to the gold and unlike Mr Danielson earlier tonight I will not take an age to do it, cos simply put I really hope Bryan watches this match cos he still has time to back out and after he sees a taste of what im going to do to him maybe he will think better of facing me this sunday when he truely will have No Way Out.
*Commercial Break*
In ring as we return from the break we find Necro Butcher.Butcher: I've come out here and talked countless times about how i've had my hands tied here in the BWA. I was signed to a long term contract despite my status as a hardcore nay deathmatch wrestler and yet this non PG promotion has thus far not used me as such. Even tonight they have made sure before I came out here tonight anything that could be used as a weapon has been removed from ringside as they are supposidly afraid of what I will do. The thing is what I will do is exactly what all you fans want me to do, it's what all you fans expect and it's what will get the job done. If anyone doesent believe me just wait till this sunday and the first ever BWA deathmatch. In one corner me, but who is crazy enough to take me on in such a match you ask well co GM John Lauriniatis assured me I would get that answer tonight. No more delays, no more stalling, i've been promised a huge name and I want to see it...
Just then only what can be described as Japanese Jungle music starts blaring and the arena lights start flashing all different colours and it seems Necro Butcher is going to get his answer in what looks like a monsterous form. As the lights ease up abit it can be made out that the man mountain that is making his way confidently towards the ring is none other than Akebono! and by his side is his manager and occasional tag partner Shinjiro Otani . Akebono gets straight into the ring and comes straight up to Necro Butcher. he is standing face to face with him now and yet the Butcher does not flinch. Instead he lifts the mic back up and goes to address him when Otani catches him with a kick to his leg. A two on one assault then insues which eventually leads to Necro Butcher being chased out of the arena through the crowd. The announcers note that it's not like Necro Butcher to run from a fight but say that with no equalisers (weapons) a 2 on 1 assault is not something they would blame him from backing out on. This sunday in the deathmatch however things should be very different they assume.
we head backstage where we see Rey Mysterio seemingly leaving one of the GM's offices. The BWA backstage man trys to get a word from him about his actions earlier tonight when he abondoned his teamates against the self proclaimed Worlds Greates Stable. Rey simply states that he had nothing to gain by being out there with those guys and that this Sunday he will prove himself their superior. In fact he says that he can now officially announce what has been rumoured here in Mexico for over a week. When he beats those guys he says he will not only take the title of best Mexican wrestler in the BWA but he will also take the mask of whoever he pins, cos it will be a mask vs mask match!
After that bombshell we head back to the ring for tonights main event and just in time too as Triple H makes his way out. Before the match begins though he has this short statement to make.Hunter: This is the last time I will step into a BWA ring without being announced as the BWA world heavyweight champion. This sunday I am going to punish Bryan Danielson for even thinking he is on my level but tonight... tonight Bryan I want you to get close to a TV screen and really watch this match cos tonight in my mind Muhammad Hassan is you and what I do to him you can expect at No Way Out, and thats a promise.
Main Event: Triple H vs Muhammad Hassan
Triple H is fairly dominant throughout this one but the finish does not come about until Hassan begins to build some momentum against the game. First he reverses a Pedigree attempt with a backdrop and then when Hunter is trying for DDT Hassan roles him up in an inside cradle for a 2 count. This really infuriates the game who then rakes the eyes of Hassan to regain control and throws Hassan to the outside. when out here HHH shows a real mean streak repeatidly sending Hassan crashing into both the rino steps and the spanish announce table. He keeps shouting for Hassan to get up but calls him bryan each time and then when he does respond sends him crashing back this tie into the ringpost. The referee has started a 10 count but with Hassan barely able to stand HHH tosses him back into the ring to break the count.
After doing so Hunter starts searching around under the ring before emerging with his Sledgehammer. One announcer wonders if that was there earlier tonight when Necro Butcher was out here while the other one is more focussed on HHH's words from earlier about how tonight in his mind Hassan was Danielson and wonders how far he's willing to go to send that message. Him pullling out his trusted weapon got a big reaction from the crowd but an even bigger one comes moments later when Bryan Danielson comes charging down the ramp. He trys to stop Hunter from bringing the sledgehammer into the ring but is kept at arms lenght by the swing of it until HHH gets back in the ring. Inside the ropes the ref then trys to get the object off him but HHH pushes him out of the way. This leaves HHH eady to strike whilst standing above Hassan who is slowly getting to his feet infront of him and the ref ready to end the match by DQ. Hunter pulls back the hammer to swing it at him but Danielson now on the ring apron grabs it and stops him. This allows Hassan get to his feet and he goes for a big clothesline on his opponent. HHH ducks this though and instead Hassan knocks Danielson off the ring apron before himself bouncing back of the ropes and directly into Triple H's path. Hunter hits him with a kick to his mid section which he immediatly follows up with a Pedigree for the 3 count.
Winner: HHH
Hunter with his Sledghammer now firmly back in his grasp trys to get Danielson into the ring to face him but Bryan is smart enough to wait till No Way Out and the final scene of the night is these two staring holes into each other as we go off air.

Jeff Jarett and the Worlds Greaates Stable wont be too pleased with the BWA's next draft pick as it adds to the growing Mexican contingent in the promotion. The reaction of Rey Mysterio & Mil Mascaras could also be interesting considering this man is also known as according to Wikiconsidered to be one of the greatest Mexican wrestlers of his time
A man who not only won the NWA World Welterweight Championship from Santo, and held it for 5 years but also the person who replaced Santo as the star of Enrique Vergara's luchadore movies.
He was never defeated in hair or mask matches and has notable history with BWA star Mil Mascaras. Again from Wikistarred as the leader of a squadron of masked superheroes known as Los Campeones Justicieros (The Champions of Justice). Membership in the Champions included such legendary Mexican wrestling figures as Mil Máscaras
I give you star of such movies as Blue Demon vs The Infernal Brains, Santo vs Blue Demon in Atlantis, Santo and Blue Demon vs Dracula and the Wolfman, and The Mummies of Guanajuato co-staring Santo and Mil Máscaras... it is of course Blue Demon
