The 2013 Boards PW Draft EVALUATION Thread

Lord TSC

Now we're in Round Ten, guess we can start thinking of write ups This is mostly going on D2D's post from last year...

This is the thread that participants in the Draft game may use for the weekly TV show build of their respective rosters in the contest. It will also ultimately be used for the final write-up at the end to determine which roster is the winner.

- Posting is optional. Participants don't have to write weekly shows for their rosters if they don't want to.

- You can outline your promotion, TV show name, your roster's champions etc.

- The norm has been to post once per draft pick. This is essentially your weekly TV show building up to your PPV so you can post this up to 5 times.

For this opening stage if you want to do a post outlining your roster and then do a post for week 1 of your show, that's fine. Try to make sure in future rounds however you make it one show per round so it stays easy for everyone to follow.

- Final write-ups will be posted after round 15. It is your PPV event and the only thing which is a requirement in this thread. This is not optional as the PPV will be judged to determine the winner.

You can commence your PPV build now. Good luck and have fun. As always please keep discussion of the game in the discussion thread.

International Championship Wrestling Presents...
...New to the Lebowskilite Network...

International Championship Wrestling is a wrestling promotion which has been hitting it big in recent years but has only now made the move to the big-time "Lebowskilite Network", which will allow the weekly Monday Night Games to compete with heavily crowded field of quality wrestling promotions out there. We pick up the drama the night after the Survival of the Fittest pay-per-view from Madison Square Garden, the results of which have rocked the promotion to its very core.

Pay-Per-Views
ICW organises pay-per-views approximately once every 5 weeks, having 10 or 11 a year. However, ICW's library of PPV themes is longer than 11, and so most PPVs aren't guaranteed to feature in the calendar every year, with the exception, that is, of four. These are the Step Up ppv, which features the final to ICW's annual semi-reality tv show of the same name, and the 3 BIG ppvs of the ICW "on-season."
The ICW "on-season" starts 5 weeks before the Survival of the Fittest ppv event (a bit like the Royal Rumble, not as insane as WWIII), runs through the Turmoil! (featuring a tag-team equivalent to the royal rumble and a showcase for tag-team wrestling in general) ppv event and ends with the premier pay per view of the promotion, Grandslam.

The 2013 Turmoil! event will take place in 5 weeks time at the Rogers Centre in Toronto, Ontario, and will be the final ppv before Grandslam IX, taking place in the Michigan Stadium, Ann Arbour, Michigan.

International Championship Council
The on-screen council of commissioners for ICW, their chairman is usually the chief authority figure on episodes of Monday Night Games. Excitingly, Michael Cole has recently been elected to that position, and debuted on-screen just last week, quickly challenging (and annoying) some fan favourites in his clamour to get the best out of the show. His ego has also been on a notable growth spurt.

Championships

International Heavyweight Championship (AKA International Championship, Heavyweight Championship)

The eponymous and premier championship of ICW, this was on the line at last night's pay-per-view in a Loser Leaves Town match. Sadly for all the underaged fans of the sport, the company's top face lost both his championship and his job at the hands of the hated Christopher Daniels.

ICW American Heavyweight Championship (AKA American Championship, U.S. Championship)

Restricted to those wrestlers who hold U.S. nationality, this is what WWE '13 would class as a "minor" title in ICW. Christopher Daniels already held this belt before his victory last night, and becomes the 3rd double champion in ICW history. Under the promotions rules, he has one week to vacate either title and it is expected that he will vacate this one later on this evening on Monday Night Games.

ICW Overseas Heavyweight Championship (AKA Overseas Championship)

Held by a friend of Daniels', the dastardly William Regal, this belt is restricted to wrestlers holding any other nationality. Often in the past have the American and Overseas champions feuded even though neither are eligible for the other's belt, but stipulations have been applied to force the loser to vacate their championship in some champion v champion matches. Regal is known to have a rivalry with some of the Americans on the roster, so who knows if we will see this any time soon.

ICW Super Flyweight Championship (AKA SuperFly Championship)

The championship for the lighter (<220 lbs) wrestlers of ICW, who wrestle in the "Super Fly" division. Taka Michinoku successfully defended the championship at last night's event, and is the longest serving of the current champions in ICW.

International Tag-Team Championships

Self-explanatory! Currently held by the 1-2-3 Sparks, Hardcore Holly and X-Pac. They will be defending the title at Turmoil! in the Tag-Team Turmoil match.

Other Prizes
The last survivor in the annual Survival of the Fittest match gets a contract for any main event of their choosing in the next 12 months. Last night, the Superstar Billy Graham released Larry Zbyszko from a bear hug over the top ropes to becomes the sole survivor. Pundits expect him to face Daniels for the International Championship at the Grandest stage of all, Grandslam, in ten weeks time.

But ten weeks in an awful long time in professional wrestling.

Well established Stables/Teams
The Samoan Connection: Rikishi, Samu and Yokozuna (who is billed, as in the WWF, as coming from Polynesia, not Japan)
The 1-2-3 Sparks: A nod to the former gimmicks of this reformed team of experienced wrestlers, Hardcore Holly and X-Pac.
The League (of their own): Welcome to the top heel stable of ICW! Christopher Daniels, William Regal, Matt Sydal and Yoshihiro Tajiri.
Kaientai: Taka Michinoku and Shoichi Funaki. Languishing for many years in the WWF/E, this stable has finally found in America some fraction of the success they had in Japan.

ICW Monday Night Games air at 8pm every Monday night on the Lebowskilite network. Until next time, we leave you with this disturbing promotional image:

Fusion Pro Wrestling
Week 1

Segment One

Fusion Pro Wrestling in 5 weeks away from its next big show, Unscripted. We are kicking off tonights show with the FPW Heavyweight Champion, Chris Benoit!

Chris comes out to a negative reaction. Fans still remember what happen two years ago in FPW, when Benoit declared he would destroy pro-wrestling.

"I know I'm not the most popular person right now, but this has never been about popularity. This company was built on the idea that you do all your talking in the ring. It's about wrestling. That's why, two years ago, I came to this company. Wrestling had destroyed everything in my life, so it was time to destroy wrestling.

Last year this company performed poorly and is on the grips of defeat, and today I vow that in 5 weeks time, you will all witness the final night of Fusion Pro Wrestling."

As the crowd boo, the music of Jimmy Jacobs hits the arena, a spotlight hits the ceiling and we see him standing in the rafters holding a mic along side Tyler Black and Kevin Sullivan.

"Bravo Chris. You know, I have heard you speak for the past two years about your plans, and we admire them sir. Allow me to introduce ourselves, we are The Age of The Fall. We are the ones that this sport forgot about, cast aside and left in the gutter. Tyler Black here is the future of this sport, but noone will give him a chance because he isn't 300 pounds or the star of a crappy reality tv show. The man to my left you know, Kevin Sullivan, a man whose life you ruined yourself. You took his love away from him, then ruined her and her families lives because of your selfish ways. I am Jimmy Jacobs, the man that will help you realize what needs to be done to actually destroy this company.

You haven't succeeded Chris, because you have only lived in your own insanity, instead of your anger. In 5 weeks time we already have an example of how hatred will be our strongest weapon, as Tyler takes on this man!"

Tyler holds up the bloody face of KENTA! They jumped the Japanese star before the show kicked off earlier!

"Join us Chris, and we will ensure that this company burns to the ground, and we clip the phoenixs wings."

Chris doesn't know what to make of the offer, but before he has a chance to respond, here comes Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat to a huge response from the crowd.

"Chris, I'm not going to waste anyones time here. I have never been known for talking, but Chris you need to snap out of it. You are a pro wrestler, perhaps the greatest pro wrestler of all time. You have built up an amazing legacy, and there is still time to save it. Perhaps the reason you haven't destroyed this company is because, deep down,you know this isn't you. You love pro wrestling, and you know it didn't cause all the hardship in your life,you did. So Chris, I want to lay down an offer to you; in 5 weeks time, you and I wrestle for that belt, and instead of destroying pro wrestling, we put on the greatest match of all time, and usher in a new age of the sport of professional wrestling. Let me know what you think next week."

Rickys music hits as Benoit stands in the ring looking back and forth between The Age of The Fall and Ricky Steamboat. Jimmy talks to his group as we go to break.

Segment Two

Rey Mysterio vs. Homicide

Rey comes out to the ring to a huge response. In 5 weeks time Rey will face off against The Rottweilers (Low Ki & Homicide) for the Fusion Pro Wrestling tag belts, but Rey has not revealed who his tag team partner is yet.

'Cide and Rey have a clear back and forth battle, with Rey hitting the 619. But as we goes for the finish, Low Ki jumps the crowd, kicking Rey in the head and ending the match in a DQ. The Rottweilers proceed to beat Rey around the ring, until the music of Marafuji Naoimichi hits the arena and he hits the ring for the save. Rey introduces us all to his tag partner.

Segment Three

We are backstage as The Briscoe Brothers discuss their challange to Terry Funk and Kensuke Susaki to prove who the toughest sons of bitches are in pro wrestling. They declare that next week they will have a warm up contest; A Flah-Drink Off!

Preview Post

Opening Promo*A promo featuring the rivalry between Christopher Daniels and the former top face of the company, and its conclusion last night where Daniels made the champion tap out to the Koji Clutch in a loser leaves town match. The theme of the promo is that Daniels is going to assume the role of the former champion. Promo also shows the return, last night, of Superstar Billy Graham, who won the Survival of the Fittest (like a Royal Rumble) Match.*

Opening Credits

Live from the Izod Arena in East Rutherford, New Jersey

Backstage Interview
Living Legend Larry Zbyszko is being interviewed about some exciting news. Larry introduces his new student in the “science of technical wrestling,” Yokozuna. (Yokozuna has been on a slightly comical losing streak of late due to his weight – often being knocked over and unable to get up again, thus being unable to answer the count of ten) Yokozuna says that he agreed to be Larry’s student to get out of the rut and maybe lose some weight, and that he really doesn’t want to have to go back to Sumo wrestling, because he hates all that Japanese food. The interviwer almost laughs at that. Rikishi and Samu come by and lend their support to their uncle and thanking Larry. The League (Christopher Daniels, William Regal, Matt Sydal, Yoshihiro Tajiri) interrupts the scene, and Daniels walks through the group carrying both of his titles to get close to the interviewer. Daniels theatrically suggests that the interviewer has been waiting for him, and asks him to proceed. The interviewer informs Daniels that he’ll be interviewed later on tonight in the ring. The League smugly moves off.

In-Ring Segment
Chairman Michael Cole’s music hits and he makes his way to the ring with an ICW official who is carrying a bag. He talks about last night’s Pay-Per-View and pays homage to both wrestlers in the Loser Leaves Town match, but particularly congratulates Christopher Daniels on his victory. Then Cole says he is glad that the drama is over and he can start putting his mark on the company (Cole has been Chairman for about 2 weeks). To do this Cole unveils a new championship belt from the bag, but an initial interest from the crowd dies down as a crappy and cheap-looking “Monday Night Championship” in shown to them. The championship will be defended every week and will prove who is the most committed wrestler to the company, the show and the product. Cole says that the Championship will be fought for straight away and calls Yokozuna to the ring. Yokozuna’s music hits and he walks out, looking nonplussed. The Announcers speculate who his opponent will be.
Cole then calls for his opponent, and... Michael Cole’s own music hits! Cole strips off his jacket and shirt to reveal a Mr. MacMahon-esque sleeveless top on underneath, while Yokozuna looks on, still baffled and now slightly amused. The Announcers and ring staff are confused to but the bell is eventually rang for the match on Cole’s insistence.

Yokozuna v. Michael Cole (ICW Monday Night Championship)
Cole slaps Yokozuna across the belly but it has no effect. Yokozuna isn’t really reacting, he doesn’t get it. Cole hits the ropes and jumps at Yokozuna, who pushes him onto the canvas with a thud. Cole seems angry now, and climbs the turnbuckle. Announcers can’t believe what they’re seeing. Yokozuna has barely moved, and is laughing at Cole. At that moment three figures emerge from under the ring apron nearest Yokozuna and attack him from behind. They are D'Lo Brown and Tag Team Champions the 1-2-3 Sparks (Hardcore Holly and X-Pac), and their aim is to knock him to the ground, which they do, before delivering a vicious beatdown. The referee goes to signal for the bell but Cole (still on the turnbuckle) yells “Don’t you dare!”. Cole jumps and barely even hits the unconscious Yokozuna, before he and the other three turn the body over for a pin, just as Larry Zbyszko comes running down the ramp.

Michael Cole Wins by way of pinfall.

Post-Match
Holly goes out to meet Zbyszko, and the two of them wrestle on the mats. Zbyszko has Holly in a very painful looking hold as X-Pac interferes, throwing Zbyszko against the barrier. Rikishi and Samu come running is as well while Cole goes to sit behind the announcers table to hide from the havoc he’s unleashed – he has his suit jacket back on and his belt. Yokozuna gets to his feet (with trouble) and is helped up the ramp by Samu, X-Pac having run out at the sight of Yokozuna getting up. The remaining 4 wrestlers are in the ring now brawling. The announcers label it chaos though just then Christopher Daniels’ music hits. As Daniels enters – all but the smarks are booing – Holly and D’Lo Brown are beating down on Larry Zbyszko while Rikishi has rolled out of the ring in pain. Daniels lays the ICW American Championship on the ramp and recommends that the three men in the ring wrestle for it right now. The fighting stops and Cole re-enters the ring to commission the match with belated enthusiasm. He shakes the hands of Holly and Brown as he leaves the ring for backstage, showing off his crappy make believe belt (as the face announcer calls it).

Ad Break and Promo for Grandslam PPV in 10 weeks time.

D’Lo Brown v. Hardcore Holly v. Larry Zbyszko (ICW American Championship) Basically a handicap match from the off as Holly and Brown resume their double attack on Larry Zbyszko. He comes back into the match a couple of times by managing to throw an opponent out of the ring and give a lesson in mat wrestling to the one remaining, but is invariably beaten by the numbers game when the other comes back in. Holly hits the Alabama slam on Zbyszko followed by a Lo Down from Brown who makes the pin, without interference from a content Holly. Brown is the new ICW American Champion but the crowd don’t appreciate it one bit.

D’Lo Brown wins by pinfall (on Larry Zbyszko)

Post-Match
Yokozuna appears on the Titantron with an unconscious X-Pac backstage. He says only, “1-2-3 Sparks! I will see you at the Tag Team Turmoil Match, and I will make sure you lose those tag team titles!” The Announcers are flabbergasted by the events surrounding the first two matches tonight.

Ad Break and Promo for Turmoil! PPV in 5 weeks time.

Double Interview in the Ring The Superstar Billy Graham is invited to the ring having won the “Survival of the Fittest” match last night. He gets a reasonable pop from the crowd and flexes for them in the ring while the new International Heavyweight Champion, and, for 20 hours, Double Champion, Christopher Daniels is invited to the ring. He gets mega heat from the fans of the former top face though some smarks are cheering for him as always.
Interviewer first goes to ask Graham a question and offer congratulations but Daniels interrupts, annoyed that he isn’t being congratulated first. The interviewer then offers him congratulations. Daniels takes the mic and thanks everyone for the non-existent rapturous applause. He says he’s elated to finally hold a world championship, and also to be able to stand in front of a steroid-addled maniac like Graham and be able to officially say, “I’m better than you.” He then repeats it for the crowd too. Graham tells Daniels that he doesn’t want to hear it and neither do the fans. He’s the superstar of the business and compared to him Daniels is just a small child with a championship belt for a teddy bear. He says Daniels must think that whatever blessing he was under last night will go on forever if he’s going to step into the ring with Billy Graham and disrespect him from the off, but says that he won’t get violent as he’s here to celebrate his victory last night. Daniels sarcastically thanks Graham for informing him he won’t get violent and advises him to remain so where Daniels is concerned. He also states that he is going to dominate the company from now on and that this is just night #2 of that domination. Graham in turn mocks him for this and again warns him not to be disrespectful, and that if the two were to wrestle he would lose his championship and be nothing. Daniels jokingly suggests that Graham cash in his main event contract against Michael Cole for the Monday Night Championship. Graham asks if Daniels is calling him out. Daniels seriously suggests that Graham cash in the contract for the Grandslam PPV in 10 weeks against him for the International Championship. Graham contemplates the challenge, even bigs up how great the match would be, before asking Daniels if he really wants it. Daniels parodies the promotion of the match as being “The Greatest Superstar of Wrestling History versus The Steroid-Addicted Neanderthal who needs to get his hands on a pension”. Graham says that if Daniels continues to disrespect him, he won’t wait until Grandslam to cash in. Daniels thanks him and says its a date, asks him to leave the ring so he can continue his victorious interview. For Graham that’s the final straw and he calls Michael Cole out, “I’m using this contract opportunity tonight for the International Heavyweight Title!” Daniels looks stunned and sulks.

Cole comes out to the ring and is grabbed from behind by none other than the man he and Daniels screwed earlier, Larry Zbyszko. After Zbyszko and Cole argue off-mic, with Cole being visibly intimidated, Cole announces that Graham doesn’t have to use his contract tonight, as he is commissioning a match for the championship anyway, between Daniels and Graham ...and Zbyszko! Daniels goes crazy...

Matt Sydal (w/Tajiri) v. Shoichi Funaki (w/ Taka Michinoku)
The only non-title match of the night! Taka Michinoku last night defended his SuperFly belt against Tajiri, who’s chest is wrapped in a bandage tonight. A big pop for Kaientai as they head to the ring is mainly for Taka, who is the longest running champion in the company at present and popular with the fans. Funaki, by comparison, is still the perennial jobber, occasional interviewer.
The match sees some high-risk offence by wrestlers, and Funaki gets a particular good reaction from a headscissors takedown that sends Sydal through the ropes to the outside, followed swiftly by a plancha to the outside himself, and an inverted DDT on the mat. However, once back in the ring, Sydal takes control and delivers and aftershock before going to the turnbuckles. For minutes there on Funaki is essentially target for Sydal’s copious airborne manoeuvres from the ropes and turnbuckles. Funaki gets back in towards the end, landing an Enzuiguri and a Shawn Capture, but Sydal breaks out, delivers an enzuiguri himself and then lands the standing moonsault for the pin. Not a bad performance by Funaki but once again he finds himself on the wrong side of a pinfall.

Matt Sydal wins by pinfall.

Backstage InterviewLarry Zbyszko is interviewed about his upcoming title match with Daniels and Graham. He says Michael Cole owes him a title shot after what he pulled off earlier in the show, which was a disgrace to wrestling.

Ad Break: Don’t sue us when you f-ck up trying this at home.

Back-Stage
League member William Regal is in Michael Cole’s office, asking him why he put Christopher Daniels in a triple-threat match, and that it didn’t seem very fair to a new champion. Cole tells Regal that if there was more loyalty shown, and he didn’t have to worry about his own employees jumping him in the arena, perhaps things might be more comfortable for the League. Cole also tells Regal to stop questioning his authority, because he’s the goddamned boss, goddamnit!

Main Event: Christopher Daniels (c) v. Billy Graham v. Larry Zbyszko (International Heavyweight Championship)
The contrasting styles of these three men make for an interesting back and to between them, usually as one-on-one encounters with one person out of the ring (i.e., WWE style). The first near-end comes when Graham gets Zbyszko in a bear-hug, only for Daniels to launch himself off the ropes to land on Zbyszko and execute a sleeper hold. Graham falls backwards after some seconds of this and all three wrestlers hit the canvas hard. In the minutes that follow, Zbyszko leads against both wrestlers, concentrating on their backs. Sometime later another near-conclusion comes as Daniels dominates Zbyszko in the ring, landing the reverse STO and locking in the Koji Clutch. Zbyszko powers out of the move only to roll out of the ring in pain. Daniels then goes looking for Graham and attempts an Asai Arabian Press on him to the outside. Graham however is playing possum and Daniels simply slams into the announcers table. Graham enters the ring to where Zbyszko has returned and delivers an airplane slam. Daniels gets to the apron only for Graham to bounce him off, again into the announcers table, before delivering a knee drop from the top rope to Zbyszko and pinning for the win. Graham celebrates enthusiastically, pointing at Daniels and shouting at him. Daniels meanwhile is still on the floor from hitting the announcer table the second time, and looks up alarmed to see Graham celebrating with the championship belt!

Billy Graham wins championship by pinfall (on Larry Zbyszko)

WELCOME TO THE DEBUT EDITION OF:

We see nWo:Anarchy Champion Dolph Ziggler addressing the nWo fans:

I'M TOP OF THE WORLD MA! I'm the world champion! And with no thanks to any of the marks sitting in the crowd, I've done this by myself. I've been stealing the show for YEARS and not once was I recognised as champion material but now I have been thanks to Paul Heyman! Seeing as I'm the champion, and in the spirit on "Anarchy", I won't be defending my title on PPV on TV or houseshows! I'll make my own rules and this is one of them!

Out walks Paul Heyman (Met to E-C-DUB Chants):

Dolph you were given the prestige of holding the nWo title so that you could be the reigning and defending champion. If you're not going to compete, then I'll have to strip you of that honour. AND THAT is one of my rules!

Ziggler thinks about it and replies:

FINE THEN! I'll compete, but I'm choosing the contestants in the No.1 contenders match later tonight.

Heyman nods to Ziggler. Ziggler will make his choice over the course of the evening.
**AD BREAK**

MATCH: Chris hero VS Epico
Hero is dominating in what is pretty much a blowaway match. The crowd are firmly behind Hero. As Hero waits in the corner to preform the cyclone kill, someone someone jumps the barrier and grabs him by the ankles and pulls him crotch first into the ring post. He lifts a hood from his head and reveals himself as Claudio Castagnoli. Epico pulls Hero to the center of the ring and picks up the win.

**We see a promo for the Euro championship tournament next week**

TUNE IN NEXT WEEK FOR THE DEBUT OF THE EUROPEAN TITLE TOURNAMENT AND THE FALLOUT OF THIS WEEKS SHOW! IT'S NOT TO BE MISSED!

Lucha Va Voom Wrestling was founded in the earlier 1950’s. It all began when masked luchadors from the border in Mexico joined to meet their hard hitting Americans counterparts in California every year. It is believe Lucha Va Voom is the first ever example of cross promotional work in the wrestling business. Countless characters have graced the 2V Lucha ring over the years. Many greats have come and gone over the years but the one thing that has been constant, is the fact that, year in year out, the management always pride themselves in promoting pure entertainment and wrestling. Heritage of all the styles are showcased in 2V Lucha. That said, in recent years the unit has shed much of it’s grá for the mat/lucha technicians and turned more towards creating a power house of unadulterated “sport entertainment”.

Truly a worldwide company 2V Lucha tours globally throughout the year(a visit to Britain shall happen in a few weeks) .In early July every year the federation returns to the company’s heart land of the South West States for its flagship show Viva los Lucha. This year, the excitement builds as the countdown to Viva los Lucha’s inaugural Las Vegas show has begun big time. Viva los Lucha XIII from the MGM Grand is destined to be a spectacular show but there are five weeks of BeatTV to get through to see who will be fighting who? What title shall be contended? And what sort of matches will be contested at Sin City’s most anticipated debut since Elvis.

2VL produce roughly 10 PPVs a year. The BeatTV programme airs weekly every Monday on networks throughout the world. Since its strong push towards a sport entertainment audience the company have promoted a Friday night entertainment show on MTV.- T.F.I.F.F- (work that one out)This is a Live show with chat and wrestling. It involves much interaction between wrestling, celeb guests, expert commentators and even audience members. GM John Laurinaitis has commented that the show is too “Jersey Shore –esque” for his liking but company owners have told him not in interfere with this ratings hit.

In recent weeks the 2VL World Champion TAFKA Goldust has started his own X-rated internet show called “The Fabulous Mess”. Much like its presenter its remit seems to be to produce the most revolting irreverent show imaginable. Twisted yet compelling viewing.



Championships


The 2VL World Heavyweight Championship.

The legendary title. In place since the company’s conception, the current holder is the Artist Formally Known as Goldust. He beat Bruiser Brody in a loser leaves town match at the most recent PPV “Eastbound and Down” in Alabama at the beginning of last month. Since then, the bizarre one has brought down in a free-fall the prestige and honour of the title. In his first moments of gaining the title he made a statement which many of the Old-Schoolers deemed massively grotesque – He sprayed in large pink letters “F*ck Lucha” on the title. The fascinating character has, without doubt, p*ssed on Stan Hansen’s cornflakes. A feud that is flaming as opposed to simmering.
He aims to put the “Lady GaGa circus act” in his place which in his eyes is far far away from this company steeped in history.






The 2VL US Championship.

Held by Kerry Von Erich. A true gentleman who has through no fault of his own has really placed a rather large bee in GM John Laurinaitis’ bonnet. A man of the people, he is everything Laurinatis and his University aren’t. Pure skill, God-like popularity in Texas and understated intelligence. With the violent train wreak that is TAFKA Goldust being an unalterable entity the powers that be may impose their greedy quest for gold on young Von Erich.





The 2VL Tag Team Championship

The fan favourites Rhythm and Blues (Honky Tonk Man and Greg Valentine) have set up their own little Honky-a-Meter with their near year long reign as tag champs. Old habits die hard and when Honky arrived in 2VL he really failed to enamour himself with the Lucha Va Voom fans. He was cool yeah but unfortunately he was still cocky and still bad. It was only when he reunited with his old friend Greg Valentine that the people saw passed the façade of cocky badness. The bumbling duo were so hard not to cheer. They still used their guitars as weapons but with this new found repore with the fans it is no longer deemed villainous. Having dusted off business with Laurinatis’ lackeys of Chris Nowinski and Shane Douglas it is unknown who is next to try stop The Honk-a-Meter in 2VL.


The 2VL TV Title

It was been announced at a recent post conference, to celebrated the company’s recent floating on the NY stock exchange a Television title will be debuted on the 11th of June edition of BeatTV. No further comment has been released on how the title will be rewarded.





The 2VL Rouges Gallery
The University has been central to a lot of 2VLs most recent workings. Although the faction seemed to have lost a sense of direction and power, with a pack-like mentality it will be hard not to see the group reemerge into prominence. The intellectuals need to row in behind the GM to get their paternity back ruling the roost.
John Laurinaitis
Shane “The Dean” Douglas
David Otunga
Chris Nowinski
Dynamite Kid & British Bulldog are due to make their debut at 2VL’s return to the UK next week. Little is known of their intentions. But fans worldwide are very excited to see what their hometown boys have in store for the many worried people around 2VL.
Vampiro has been a very grave figure in the last few weeks. On a losing streak and firing only at half rate. On the latest edition of T.F.I.F.F Shane Douglas goaded him about his recent form which vexed the Lucha legend. The red that appeared in his eyes on the show was reminiscent of the grim reaper that used to reek havoc wherever he went.

Eric Bischoff comes down the ramp to a lukewarm reception to start off the the first edition of this new promotion that has come from nowhere to sign some major talent that has made them the envy of many competing promotions. The fans seem skeptical of his motivations. He has the look of a man who has just won the lottery with a lot of talent at his disposal and him supposedly been given free reign by the mysterious owner who has bankrolled this new promotion. They have amassed a stellar opening night crowd of 18,000 that was probably more down to the selection of the Colonial Life Arena as the venue as the South Carolina crowd has flocked to see former WCW great Sting and how the new promotion will incorporate some of their new talent. As Bischoff makes his way to the ring, Thursday Night Brawls can get underway.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I have been made GM of the LCW and taken control of the inaugural Thursday Night Brawls, I know you have all been eagerly anticipating the opening run of the promotion with the culmination of the inaugural pay-per-view at Crusade in a couple of months time.

The layout of the company is simple. We have 3 belts that will signify the best in their class throughout the organisation. For the LCW tag team championship there will be a tournament over the next couple of weeks, beginning tonight with a match between the Dudley Boyz, who I personally requested to join back together and the team of R-Truth and Konnan

For the Lightweight Championship you must be under a weight of 225lbs and I myself have chosen the man to start with this title, it will be AJ Styles who I would like to invite down to the ring

Styles' music hits and the fans are clearly on the side of the former TNA stalwart. He thanks Bischoff for the chance to become a figurehead for the future of the company and hugs him. Bischoff speaks again.

Ok so you have now met your Lightweight champion. It's time now to introduce your LCW Heavyweight Champion. He is someone who is a bonafide legend of wrestling and I doubt anyone here will dispute the decision to put the belt on him

Sting's music hits and the crowd goes wild. He makes his was down the ramp to huge applause and the crowd is clearly hot tonight. He enters the ring but Bischoff does not look happy to see him. He tells the crowd in crude terms to shut up and wants to know what Sting is doing in the ring.

I'm here Eric because I'm not going to let you flush another company down the toilet. The NwO are not here to save you from the truth this time. Picking champions Eric? Championships are won, not given. I signed up with this company because I thought things would be different but clearly you are going to make the same mistakes...

Sting is cut off after Styles attacks him from behind. Styles puts Sting down but Sting fights back and takes control of Styles. Someone runs down the ramp, it's professional wrestling hall of famer Lou Thesz! He enters the ring and takes down Sting from behind and begins a savage beating as the boos erupt throughout the arena. These look like clean punches and Sting is getting pummeled. Styles gets up and he and Thesz continue the beating. Fergal Devitt and Lex Luger run down to the aid of Sting. Devitt and Styles square off and Devitt comes out on top intially it seems. Luger caught Thesz by surprise and they begin to brawl outside the ring, Sting looks bad though and the two men know this and quickly break away to pull him out of the ring and up the ramp. Bischoff grabs a mic again. He looks a bit ruffled but there is a mischievous smile on his face.

Ladies and Gentlemen, your LCW Heavyweight champion. Lous Thesz

As Styles, Thesz and Bischoff end the segment congratulating each other in the middle of the ring they get huge heat from the crowd. A crazy opening segment to this new promotion.

Backstage we see paramedics working on Sting, he seems to be having trouble breathing and they put him onto a stretcher and into the back of an ambulance as Luger and Devitt look on. The main event match for the night is announced as Luger and Devitt against Lou Thesz and AJ Styles.

The opening match is Titus O'Neil against Scotty 2 Hotty. This is in anticipation of the tag team tournament match between the Prime Time Players and Too Cool in the next show. Before the match Titus says he's going to show how superior he is to his opponent. Titus wins comfortably after a 10 minute powerful showing with little offense from Scotty 2 Hotty.

The tag team tournament match is next with the Dudleyz facing off against R-Truth and Konnan. The Dudleyz cut a promo talking of how they should have been awarded the title because of them being the best tag team ever. The crowd responds negatively. R-Truth and Konnan thus come out to applause. The Dudleyz win a 20 minute close match to progress to the final of the tag team tournament.

As buildup for the main event continues we are told that Sting is in stable condition in hospital but will probably not be ready for action for a couple of weeks. A vignette of Jack Swagger talking to Eric Bischoff asking why he doesn't have a match tonight airs. Bischoff says he hasn't seen enough to be sure Swagger fits into the company as Swagger was signed before Bischoff took over. Swagger walks off looking unhappy.

Darren Young w/Titus O'Neil beats Grandmaster Sexay /w Scotty 2 Hotty in another buildup match for next week. Young's assault continues after the match and Titus O'Neil joins in after knocking down Scotty. Scotty recovers and makes the save as the Prime Time Players retreat.

The main event is up next and it again cuts to a vignette in Eric Bischoff's office. He's on the phone with the owner who is clearly not happy about what has happened with Sting. Bischoff assures him that it's under control and he will tell Thesz to calm himself. The camera pans to Thesz and Styles beside Bischoff and they all burst out laughing.

Devitt and Luger make their entrances. They talk about how disgraceful it is that Sting was assaulted in the way he was and nobody as dangerous as Thesz should be allowed to compete. Devitt talks about Styles saying that he has sold out his reputation for the title.

Thesz and Styles make their entrances and the match begins. Devitt and Styles begin the match and after a couple of minutes Styles is in control. Thesz isn't being tagged in though. He seems confident Styles can deal with Devitt and he's being proved right. Devitt however pushes Styles off long enough for a tag to Luger who immediately overpowers Styles and pushes Thesz off the apron. Luger has turned the tables in this match and looks in control of Styles. Thesz is attempting to get into the ring but the referee restrains him. Luger has Styles in the human torture rack but the ref's back is turned. Jack Swagger comes out from under the ring. He pulls Devitt off the apron and gets in the ring and low blows Luger and is gone back under the ring before the referee turns around. Styles is able now to get across to Thesz to make the tag and Thesz hits Luger with a perfect powerbomb and pins him for the win. He continues the assault after the match but Devitt is able to pull Luger away before any real damage is done. Styles and Swagger join Thesz in the ring. Eric Bischoff joins them and they again begin to congratulate each other.

Thesz grabs a mic and proclaims himself the best fighter in the world and that nobody will be able to beat him. Whether in the ring or anywhere else the result will be the same, look at what happened to Sting. Sting shows up on the titantron in his hospital bed and proclaims that he has been told that he will be able to return to action before Crusade to huge applause. He also says he just got a call from the owner that he will be testing Thesz's theory for the title at the PPV in a few weeks time. The show ends with Bischoff and Thesz looking bewildered in the ring.

Diabhal Beag

Welcome to Whitney Houston Memorial Diabhal Dome. If you like men touching other men you are in the right place. The king of humour has returned. The man they call the Diabhal is back, and he’s off meth (I promise). The crowd are a bit meh, having been burnt since the most almighty of thrashings was dealt to some cats in a Leinster final. But nonetheless they shat themselves when he walked down the ramp.

“Ciúnas!!” a deir sí. The boy done good has an announcement. Since the Dream Team-style bus explosion killing all previous members of the roster there’s a new gang. BUT WAIT!!!! Out comes Mr. José. The camera pans to Steve Staunton who tells anybody who’ll listen that he’s not as bad as Trap. The Special Wan has an announcement. No, Gerard. C is not returning. He’s giving Diabhal a p45 as the new owners are a bunch of turf tycoons from Mayo. Security escorts Diabhal away before he gets his knob out for one last hurrah. José announces that there’ll be a battle royal to crown the new Gráinne Seoige World Heavyweight Title. Off he goes to watch Mayo lose another All-Ireland final.



Out comes CM Punk. He’s not a fan of the Whestern capital. He calls all Galwegians a useless bunch of krusties with VD. This libellous accusation gets a stern reaction. He tells us he’ll be the next big thing. Out to defend the home of Connemara is Sheamus. He claims his Granny cut turf in Athenry. Samoa Joe waddles out. He has a knife and fork and threatens to eat the entire world. Finally Mark Henry comes out. The ring collapses, which indicates how big an epidemic obesity is in modern Irlande. They’ll all be out again in a few paragraphs.

Two bais pop out. Tis Tommy Dreamer and Raven. They’re happy as Larry and following the announcement from Robbie Rogers, they come out of the closet. This brings out known homophobe and recent deadman Mike Awesome. He says that God hates quare folk and out comes Westboro Baptist fanatic Sabu. A no-Diesel Queen match is announced next week as security keeps them apart.

Kevin Nash decides to make a new title for himself. He claims he’s the most mental man in all of Connacht. BANG! He gots shot by Antonio Inoki. Nurses take a break from complaining about their pay to fire him off into an ambulance.



Tis the big one. The new champion will be crowned tonight with a Buckfast bottle just one of the cheap prizes on offer for the winner. The Mexicools are thrown out so quickly they’ll break the Redbull jumping guy’s record thingy. Sabu and Awesome eliminate team David Norris. We’re left with four finalists. Punk, Henry, Joe and Sheamo. Punk knocks Joe off and the Samoan is not happy, and quite racist too. Sheamo eliminates Henry. Just as Sheamo is about to win the gold the lights go out. When the ESB bill is paid both men are out cold, not because the gas bill is in arrears either. We’ll have to wait till next week (or whenever I’m arsed to write another one) to see what happens.

Evenin' Ere'body!
Tonight I want to talk to you as the good brother Luke Gallows. For my whole career I've had to play characters.

I'M HERE TO SHOW THE WORLD... Dolph Ziggler and Aj are up on the ramp.

AJ:

I have been informed by Paul Heyman that I will be in the match for the nWo Women's championship live on PPV. And when Dolph kicks your ass out of the arena, we'll be toting the gold and you'll be off joining some other ridiculous internet fed so as to rejoin your straight edge savior.

Gallows:

You know what Dolph? If you're such a tough guy and you've got a tough gal on your arm hows about I get a partner and we have ourselves a Mixed Tag match tonight.

Ziggler & Aj

YOU'RE ON!

**DON'T BE A MORON AND TRY OUR STUPID S#IT**

**Recap from the actions of Castagnoli and Hero last week**

We see Claudio in the ring. He's getting booed out of the building.

Claudio:

You all hate me right? Because I attacked your "Super Hero",is that it? What you idiots don't understand is that I am also the victim of Chris Hero and his antics. He cost me a chance for a world title, and before that I was carrying him! Allow me to give you a little history lesson. He and I were once the most dominant tag-team in Pro-wresting WE WERE HE KINGS,and he was always the weak link. I'd destroy two men at once and then carry the team around. If you're looking for a hero, then you need only look into the ring.

ENTER HERO:

You poor deluded Bast##D. You honestly thing that you're better than me? Since we broke up we've never fought, so how about you prove it then. You and I in a falls count anywhere match. Loser leaves the nWo!

Yo It’s Me It’s Me It’s DDP

Commissioner Diamond Dallas Page is in the ring to welcome us to another show. Two security guards stand behind him holding the world championship title. Page brings up events leading to the vacating of the title belt, and tells us that tonight is a new beginning. Tonight we shall have a new world champion, as every member of the roster is invited to take part in an over the top battle royal for the title.

The announcers are excited and hype up the battle royal and potential champions.

MATCH
Tag Team title Match

The Twin Towers v Rico Constino and Charlie Haas
Boss man And One Man Gang come to the ring, serious faces, looking to regain the title they lost several months ago.


YOUUUU LOOOK SOOOOO .... GOOD TO ME ...

Rico appears first, tag belt around his waist, glorious makeup on face. He poses upon his mini catwalk, and introduces his partner for the night ... HAASKEEM, THE AFRICAN DREAM, out comes Charlie Haas, yellow moomoo, blue hat, and fake black beard.

Gang is freaking out in the ring, he does not like this one bit. Rico interviews Haaskeem, who imitates Akeem perfectly, mocking his roots from deepest darkest Africa. Having milked the comedy gold Rico and Haaskeem make their way to the ring. The ref takes their belts and the match begins. The match is entertaining as Rico and Haas use their technical abilities and speed to counter The Twin Towers brute force. At one point Boss Man is knocked down and Rico mounts him, riding him like a horse, and smacking him on the posterior several times. Constantino and Haas seem to have the upper hand, the towers getting more and more frustrated. Akeem is able to irish whip Haas into his corner, Boss Man takes advantage whacking Haas with the nightstick. Unfortunately this is unseen by the ref, Rico tries to tell the ref, but the ref is having none of it, and with this distraction Akeem and Boss Man double team haas. Rico finally gets past the ref to save his partner, but is taken down quickly by a nightstick shot to the head. The ref immediately DQ’s the team. But they’re not finished. The attack on Rico continues unabated for several uncomfortable moments until he is left bloodied and battered in the ring. The Twin Towers are finally forced out of the ring by officials, and paramedics see to the fallen champions.

The commentators describe the decimation of Constantino and Haas ... showing highlights of the match / destruction and footage of Haas recovering and walking out of the ring as Rico is stretchered to the back.

SEGMENT

The arena goes black.

A lone voice is singing ... “Leaning .... Leaning ... Safe and secure from all alarms ... Leaning ... “
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91IAwfdRX6A

A sole spotlight shines down onto a suited figure at the top of the walkway, he slowly and deliberately makes his way to the ring. The announcers recognise the man ... it’s Nikita Koloff! We haven’t seen him for two years, since he injured his back!

Nikita makes his way to the centre of the ring, the houselights come on again. We see that Koloff has a mic in one hand and a book in the other. He speaks, in clear English, with an American accent...

“Two years ago .... I was a broken man... my body was broken ... but worse than that ... my spirit was broken... I was living a sad and sinful life ... pretending I was a Russian in the ring ... and drinking like a Russian outside it ...”
Koloff goes on to describe his hard partying times as he was on his wrestling high ... and then the fall after his back was injured two years ago ... the sad state he ended up in, broken body at the bottom of a bottle.

“But then ... one man came to me .. he came and he shown a light upon me and my soul .. he lifted me up, and showed me a path to redemption. As my spirit regained strength, so did my body, the pain faded, and the light shown. I have returned to the CCW to spread the word of my lord, and to help rid the place of the deviant lifestyles that are corrupting the spirits of those competing and watching.

I am here for your good.

And I am not alone.”

The houselights come down again, the single spotlight hits Nikita, and Leaning plays again as he makes his way from the ring, and leaves ... boos ringing out all around him.

Match 2

Chris Kanyon
V
The Junk Yard Dog

Pan Continental Championship Match

Kanyon, Pan Continental Champion, the self proclaimed Most Valuable Player, makes his way to the ring, booed by the crowd. His reception is a stark contrast to JYD’s entrance, this man is beloved by the crowd.

The announcers hype each wrestler, and point out that even though they are wrestling now, they are still eligible to wrestle in the battle royal, should they so wish.

The match is a good one, as JYD brings his classic brawling against Kanyon’s all round skills. Kanyon fearing an out of out loss on his record goes for the count out and tries to leave the ringside area, but JYD is after him and forces him back in the ring before the count reaches 10. Not to be defeated so easily Kanyon decides to get himself disqualified, by striking JYD with a chair. JYD is unfazed by the chair strike, but ref has had enough of Kanyon’s antics and calls for the bell. JYD wins the match, but Kanyon keeps the belt.

We return from ad break

IT’s time for the Battle Royale

Most of the roster are already in the ring, we are waiting on the final few entrants. First it’s Harley Race, the hard drinking veteran and fan favourite. Tough as nails he makes his way to the ring and eyeballs his rivals. He shares a few words with Junk Yard Dog and Sergeant Slaughter. Next into the ring it’s Rob Van Dam, he gets a great reception from the spectators, climbing one of the turnbuckles and doing his R-V-P sign, with the swarms of fans chanting along. Next Leaning starts and Nikita Koloff comes to the ring, wearing a black gown with a stylised white cross on the back. Finally our last entrant appears ... and he’s a sexy boy ... it’s HBK, Shawn Michaels!
The arena erupts as Michaels makes his way to the ring, coming down from a zip wire, ever the show off.

As soon as HBK is ready, the match begins and a mass brawl ensues. One by one the numbers of wrestlers dwindle. At one stage Sergeant Slaughter eliminates Masahiro Chono, and Sarge is eliminated by Nikita Koloff quickly afterwards. However, as Slaughter makes his way backstage Chono and The Great Muta attack him, punishing him for having eliminating Chono. The match continues as Slaughter is seen to by medics (who have had a busy night) and stretchered to the back.


Finally we are down to the last four wrestlers ... Shawn Michaels, RVD, Harley Race, and Nikita Koloff. Michaels seems to be down in one corner of the ring, as Race, Koloff and RVD are brawling amongst each other.

The Lights go off.

They come back on again.

In the middle of the ring stands a white figure.

IT’s MORDECAI!

Is this what Koloff meant when he said he wasn’t alone?!

The announcers are astonished ... but as Mordecai wasn’t in the ring when the match started, he’s not able to win the belt .. but it does give Koloff an advantage.

The fearless RVD reacts first and confronts Mordecai, but is met with a flurry of punches. All of a sudden Mordecai has RVD on his back and dispatches him outside the ring with a crucifix power bomb!

HBK is still down as Race attacks Koloff and Mordecai, but he is beaten back by the former Russian and his fresh ally. Race suffers a beat down before Koloff and Mordecai eliminate him.

HBK is back on his feet.

But what’s this ... Mordecai looks at Koloff ... Koloff nods ... and eliminates himself ... Mordecai raises HBK’s hand as Nikita grabs the belt and returns to the ring, he hands it to Mordecai, who presents it to Michaels! The lights go down... a lone spotlight shines down on the three men in the ring, who raise each other’s arms in victory ... “leaning” blares over the speakers ... and the spotlight goes off for a moment, leaving the screen black, and with that the first show ends.

A Primal Nut

PWF Intensity Episode 1!

A review is shown of the previous night's PPV main events:

Commentator: It's Bret Hart vs The Big Show, for the number 1 contendership for the PWF Heavyweight Championship. If Bret Hart loses, he's out of the PWF.

Commentator: Bret Hart going for the Sharpshooter...can he do it? Yes, he's got it locked in...and...wait a minute, the lights just went out. What's going on! Oh my God, it's Dean Ambrose, Roman Reigns. The Shield. They're attacking Bret Hart, what the hell?? Remember, there is no disqualifications. The Big Show's got the pin, but he looks as shocked as everyone else...and 1...2...3, he got it, Bret Hart got screwed yet again; and he is out of the PWF!!!

Commentator: The Rock vs Earthquake, 1 on 1, title on the line......People's Elbow. The Rock has done it; the Rock has retained the title!!!!!

PWF Intro plays.

Commentator: Hello and welcome to PWF Intensity; we are live with a special show from Dublin, Ireland, and what a night we have planned. Mankind vs The Big Show, and will we get an explanation as to why the Shield have targeted Bret Hart, and got him unfairly got him thrown out of the PWF?

Val Venis' music hits.



Venis: Hello ladies!! You know Dublin is an appropriate place for me to be; because when you stroke me,the big Valbowski will keep on doubling and doubling and doubling, hehe.

Commentator: Good man, Val; he hasn't lost an inch.

"It's the two man band!!!"

Commentator: Well Val Venis due to take on Heath Slater. Wait a minute, where's Heath?

The action moves backstage. Heath is standing while Jinder Mahal meditates in the background.



Heath: I'm not going on, no way; not until our rider demands have been met.

Backstage guy: But Heath..

Heath: It clearly says here, we should have four packs of Guinness, a Siberian Tiger; and a chicken curry meal!

Backstage: Well we got....

Heath: And I don't see nothing that looks like chicken curry in here.

Commentator: Looks like success has gone to Heath's head; he is refusing to come out here.

Val: Alright, so if someone else wants to come down here and get some of the big Valbowski....



Val looks shocked.

Commentator: It's Typhoon, and he's gonna go one-on-one with Val Venis.

............................................................

Commentator: Val Venis going for the money shot....wait a minute.



Here comes Muhammad Hassan...and he just knocked Val Venis; the Big Valbowski landed on top of that turnbuckle. Typhoon is up now, lifts up Val...Military Press. Goes against the ropes...Running Splash. 1...2..3. Typhoon has defeated Val Venis, but what was Muhammad Hassan doing out here?

And as for you Big Show; when we meet I will make a Big Show of you; The Rock has beaten 400lbs of monkey crap and The Rock will beat beat up 500lbs of monkey crap, dammit The Rock don't care if you're 600lbs that's just 100 more pounds of monkey crap that The Rock gets to lift up and lay the Smackdown on. If ya smeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelllllllllllllllllll.....hey, hey only The Rock gets to say it; shut the hell up Jabronis.....what the Rock is cookin'!

Commentator: Well, thats a different Rock to what we're used to, I'll assure you of that.

Earthquake defeated a local jobber, clearly pissed that he didn't win last night.



Commentator: And now onto our main event; Mick Foley will take on The Big Show. First an interview with the Big Show.



Interview: Big Show, did you ask the Shield to interfere in your match last night?

Big Show: Absolutely not! How dare you say that? Maybe they just wanted to get rid of Bret Hart once and for all, I don't know. Now get out of my way.

Big Show pushes the interviewer into the wall and walks off.

............................................................

Commentator: Wait a minute, here comes Socko, Mick Foley's got Socko....mandible claw. And the Big Show is down.



Lights go out.

Commentator: Wait a minute, what the.....no, not again?

Lights come back on.

Commentator: The Shield again; attacking poor Mick Foley. What the...why is this happening??? And The Big Show looking mystified, asking The Shield what's going on; like he doesn't know, come on!!!



Ambrose: So you like taking big falls, eh.

Reigns: How's this for a fall?

Ambrose and Reigns lift Mick Foley into a double powerbomb through the announce table.

Commentator: This is insane - why the hell would they do this??
....................................................................................................................................
Commentator He's going for it; Chokeslam. 1....2...3 The Big Show has defeated Mick Foley. But why the hell did the Shield get involved yet again? Join us next time and maybe we'll find out!

WELCOME TO

The show opens with Ryback in the ring with a look of anger in his face

Ryback:Lesnar last week you made this mistake of making me angry, I can't wait two weeks for Revolution Lesnar I want you tonight

Vickie Guerrero comes out to ringside

Vickie Ryback you are forgetting who makes the decisions here,I am the GM of CWA and there is no chance I am going to give these cretin's in the crowd a preview of the main event of Revolution.
However I am willing to give you a chance to face Lesnar tonight in a six man tag team,It will be you and the Road Warriors against Lesnar and Demolition:

.

Backstage:

The Iron Sheik bumps in Quinton Rampage Jackson

Sheik Ah it is you I am a big fan I love when you say I pity the fool.
Rampage: You got the wrong guy
Sheik: No it is you go on say got to get some nut's
Rampage: Hey man you need to lay off the booze
Sheik: I kid I kid, I know who you are I love the lyrics " I take you to the candy shop, I let you lick my lollipop "
Rampage I am Quinton Rampage Jackson you fool
Sheik: A Jackson you make me sick with your ABC and 123's ( Sheik walks off )

EL GENERICO vs KEVIN STEEN

Before the match we see a recap of last week when Kevin Steen walked off and left El Generico to face the Road Warriors by himself, this angers Generico who attacks Steen from the off and looks like he is set for the win until Steen hits him with a low blow that the ref does not see, Steen takes full advantage and hit's his finisher F-Cinq for the win.

After the match Kevin Steen get's a steel chair and bring's it into the ring, but the Great Sasuke runs down to ringside with a chair of his own and Steen leaves the ring.

Winner: Kevin Steen

Nick Bockwinkel vs Bruiser Brody

Again we see a recap of last week's show where Brody ran in and attacked Ray Stevens, Tonight Bockwinkel look's to avenge his injured partner by taking out Brody.
Bockwinkel uses his superior technical skills and brings it to the mat at every oppurtunity, Brody bring's it to the outside though and beats on Bockwinkel, He ignores the ref count and it ends up being a double count out.

Backstage

Their is a bit of commution backstage as Rampage Jackson is showed knocked out in a pool of blood, the medics are working on him...

RYBACK /ROAD WARRIORS Vs LESNAR/DEMOLITION

The crowd are pumped for this one, Lesnar and Hawk start off but as soon as Hawk tags in Ryback Lesnar tags in Smash.
Ryback looks well against the team of Demolition and calls Lesnar into the ring but Lesnar only grins, Ryback paid too much attention of Lesnar and allowed Axe to beat him down.
Road Warrior Animal needed to make a save and then Smash runs in this causes Hawk to enter and finally all 6 men are in the ring battling.
The ref call's for the bell and security and other ref's come out to break them up.
The crowd shout to let them at it, but eventually they get broken up and show end's with both teams separeted

Tune in next week........

Furious-Red

Draft Week One

Opening Segment: Joseph Park comes out to a big reaction to the crowd in the O2 arena in Dublin. He says he is no longer a lawyer and no longer a big time wrestler because he is now “GM of FWC” . He is here to announce that there will be a 4 way elimination match tonight to crown the new FWC Champion and it will feature Edge vs Chris Jericho vs Jeff Hardy vs James Storm. But he wants to start things off with a bang in a tag team match and Park will be keeping a special eye on this match.

Match #1:
Kofi/Sin Cara vs Kenny King/Lance Storm
Great opening match with all 4 men showing their skills on the opening match of FWC Impact . Kofi and Cara started off in control until King would grab Cara’s leg while he was attempting a springboard dropkick . Both King and Storm would work on Cara’s leg , which would eventually lead to Storm locking in the Single Leg Boston Crab , but Cara would somehow reverse it and tag into Kofi . Kofi would clear house and was about to hit storm with the trouble in paradise but King would once again get involved and allowed Storm to counter it into a Northern Light Suplex for a close 2 count , King would tag himself which would lead to confusion between both King and Storm but this allowed Kofi to take advantage and hit King with Trouble in Paradise for the win

Winners: Kofi Kingston and Sin Cara

After the match there would be words between Storm and King which lead to Storm pushing King to the floor and walking away

In Ring Segment:

Chris Harris enters the arena to a lot of “Who Are Ya’s” and “We Want Braden Walker” . He says he is sick of all this heckling against him , asking people what he did wrong but know one listens to him . But he is here to make an Impact and he wants to show that he is just as good as his former tag team partner who he carried him for their entire AMW career (Lots of Boo’s). So he calls out any “so called superstar” in the back to step up to the “Wildcat Chris Harris. Park comes up on the tron and says he is hoping that Harris will bring his A-Game because he has a perfect opponent for him........................ABYSS

Match #2
Abyss vs. Chris Harris
Very quick squash match with Harris not being able to prepare for the match as Abyss hit him with the Black Hole Slam,ended with Abyss saying he will be watching the World Heavyweight Championship match later on tonight

Backstage Segment: We see Robbie E and Big Rob on the way to the ring with “The List”
In Ring Segment: Robbie and Big Rob are in the ring complaining that he is shocked that there are so many Irish trying their best to get onto the list but sadly he will never let any of them on it because he doesn’t want it to lose all its credibility just like the Irish rugby team in the last 2 matches of the 6 Nations cup (Chorus of booooooos) . He also goes onto say that there are people over here clearly ripping off his jersey shore show and its called Tallifornication or something????? All there is here is rain , recession and Coppers ! Which is funny since all the girls in coppers are cheap or wet for people like myself? Although i just pass them onto Big Rob over here since ya gotta help a bro out.
This brought out Party Marty for their match

Match# 3
Robbie E vs Party Marty
Comedic match with Robbie getting out wrestled by Marty until Big Rob would trip up Marty and all Robbie to gain control but the crowd were starting to get behind Marty as he started to make a comeback but once again Big Rob would get involved but this time the ref would see him a send him to the back as Robbie pleaded with the ref this allowed Marty to get a quick roll up for the win

Winner: Party Marty

Main Event:
Match #4
Edge vs Chris Jericho vs Jeff Hardy vs James Storm
Match started off with all 4 men brawling with each other and a trying to get a quick pinfall and elimination . It eventually broke down to Edge and Hardy in the ring , but as both men were battling each other Edge would seem to land on his foot in a bad way and rolled out of the ring (Medics would come down to check on him) . This then turned into an impromptu 3 way match now as Hardy , Jericho and Storm battled it out. As it looked like Jericho was gonna eliminate Hardy as he locked in the Walls of Jericho , Storm would hit the last call superkick on Jericho and followed it up with a cover for the 3 count

Jericho Eliminated

Jericho started to walk up the isle but as he looked behind him he seen Storm set Hardy up for another last call superkick and hit it , Jericho ran back down to the ring and hit Storm with the Codebreaker and locked in the Walls as the refs tried to get him off Storm as the crowd boo’d Jerichos actions . Eventually both storm and hardy would get back onto there feet and try to eliminate each other and both come very close numerous times , but as Storm had Hardy up with the eye of the storm hardy would counter it into a twist of fate followed up with a swanton bomb for the win and the championship!!!!



But as jeff was celebrating Edge would sneak back into the ring and hit a spear on Hardy and make the cover and officially become the new FWC World Heavyweight Champion . As the show went off the air the crowd started chanting “Bull**** Bull****”

A Primal Nut

PWF Intensity Episode 2!!!

A review is shown of the previous week's events:

Bret Hart was fired after failing to gain his no.1 contendership after the Shield (Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns) attacked Bret in a match against the Big Show.

The Rock insulted the fans.

Heath Slater refused to wrestle as his rider demands were not met.

Muhammed Hassan attacked Val Venis.

The Shield attacked Mick Foley in a match against The Big Show.

Intensity intro plays.

Commentator: Hello and welcome to Montreal, Canada for PWF Intensity.

Mick Foley's music hits. He enters to cheers.



Commentator: Mick Foley coming out, let's see what he has to say about last week's events.

As Mick is about to speak a large "We Want Bret" chant goes out.

Commentator: The Montreal crowd cheering for their Canadian hero, but I can tell you there is no chance of their demands being met.

Mick: We all wish Bret was here. But thanks to The Shield, its not possible. Just like due to them, I lost to the Big Show last week. How interesting is it that the Shield interfered in two matches here in the PWF, helping The Big Show both times? I've taken more than a few shots to the head in my time, but even my messed up brain can tell that clearly The Big Show is involved with the Shield somehow. So Dean, Roman, Big Show; why didn't you come out here and we'll deal with this the old-fashioned way.

Sierra! Hotel! India! Echo! Lima! Delta! SHIELD!!

The Shield come out and walk through the crowd.



Dean: It's about justice. The Big Show deserves his title match against The Rock; thats just the way it is. We helped get Bret Hart out of the PWF; he doesn't deserve to be here. And you, Mick; you ruined wrestling; a whole generation of wrestlers thought they had to throw themselves off a great height to entertain the crowd, putting their lives and careers at risk. It's not going to happen to us! This is about justice for a whole generation of wrestlers.

The Montreal crowd boos. Then Dean and Roman attack Mick.

Commentator: This is a gang attack.

All of a sudden, the Quake Shake hits on the titantron.



Commentator: It's Earthquake & Typhoon making the save! Dean and Roman exit the ring and back through the crowd. Earthquake and Typhoon help Mankind to stand up and now they are standing tall with Mankind in the ring!!

---

After a break.."Well, it's the Big Show"



Big Show: I wanna re-iterate what I said last week, I ain't got nothing to do with the Shield.

The Big Show defeated Viscera after a WMD.

............................................................................

Val Venis' music hits.



Val Venis: Hello ladies. You know its appropriate that we are in Montreal because if you play your cards right with the Big Valbowski, we'll be screwing and jobbing all night long.

Muhammad Hassan' music hits.

Commentator: Well this is something of a grudge match, after Hassan attacked Val Venis last week. We still don't know why though.



Hassan: Let me ask you something, Val have you ever had sex before marriage?

Commentator: Is he serious?

Venis: What do you think?

Hassan: You represent all that is wrong with you infidels, non-believers. You are amoral and you anger God with your actions. I will use God's strength to convince you who the true power is!

Hassan and Venis wrestle for around five minutes.

Commentator: Wait a minute...who is that. Is it?



Commentator: Yes, it's Marc Mero! Marvellous Marc Mero; we haven't seen him in the PWF before. And he's after Val Venis; TKO!!!! Why is he...oh wait a minute he's got Muhammed Hassan as well. TKO!!!!! Marc Mero standing tall. And he's holding up a copy of the bible. What the hell is going on????????

.....................................................................

"It's the two man band"

Commentator: Up next, is a tag team title match between the 2-man Band and The Natual Disasters.We seen last week; that success has gone to the head of the PWF Tag-Team Champions. Heath Slater refused to come out as his rider demands were not met. And it looks like we will have to wait again. Well, here comes Jinder Mahal at least.



Mahal: I would like to ask for everyone here to give more money to charity, particularly to people in the third world. Now you might wonder why I don't give more money to charity myself. Well, the reason is that I just bought a big house in Florida and I can't afford to give money to other people. Plus the government keeps increasing taxes on my earnings. But you people, ordinary middle-class Canadians and Americans watching from home; you are the key.

The crowd boos.

Commentator: What hypocrisy.

Mahal: Now Heath has had a bit of a bad day, so I want you all to be nice to him. It's not easy being a successful rockstar, as well as a Tag-team champion, so I want you all to have a bit of empathy, as he's very sensitive.

Commentator: Well here comes Heath. And the crowd are not being very sensitive.



Heath is going crazy at the crowd booing him.

Heath: Security, get those two people out of here, I don't like this sign.

Commentator: Heath must think he's Axl Rose or something.

Heath: You know what, I don't need this. I'm out of here.

Natural Disasters music hits.

Commentator: Oh, but here's the Natural Disasters; and Earthquake and Typhoon are attacking the two-man band. Looks we will have this tag-team titles match afterall.

.................................................................

Commentator: Earthquake, against the rope; Earthquake splash. And 1.....2....3....he got it.



Announcer: The winners of this match, and new PWF Tag-Team Champions....The Natural Disasters!!!!

....................................................................................

"If ya smeeeeeeeeeell what the Rock is cooking"

The Rock enters to a mixed reaction.

Commentator: The Rock turned his back on the fans last week. Let's see what the PWF champion has to say for himself this week.



The Rock: Finally the Rock has come back to shut you Canadian clowns up.

Booooooo

The Rock: You might be wondering what this is all "a-boot", or perhaps you don't get that the Rock has that....je ne sais quoi. Well shut the hell up, jabronis. This is a great time for The Rock. Not only is the Rock the PWF champion, but no longer does he have to listen to Bret Hart go on....and on...and on about how's the best there ever is, the best there was or the best there ever will be. Because one thing is for sure, Bret Hart, that roody poo candy ass, ain't coming back to annoy The Rock or the millions and millions of the The Rock's fans. If ya smeeeeeeeeeeelllllllll.......

Bret Hart's music hits and the crowd goes crazy.

Commentator: Is it? Could it be? Is Bret Hart here? Looks at The Rock's face - he's shocked!! But still no sign of the hitman. Wait a minute.....

All of a sudden The Rock starts laughing and the Montreal crowd has been fooled once again, like Shawn Michaels fooled them in 2005. The Rock starts laughing.

Commentator: This is wrong!

The Rock: Hehe....you people are so....

All of a sudden The Rock is attacked from behind.

Commentator: Wait a minute....it's him. Bret Hart!! He's here afterall. Listen to this crowd. The Hitman is back!! Where did he come from. And...Sharpshooter...Bret has the sharpshooter on The Rock. Showing The Rock how it's supposed to be done.



Wait a minute here comes the president Gorilla Monsoon, the man who fired Bret Hart, he's outraged. Bret is not supposed to be here. And now it's the Shield again...Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns. Bret Hart finally lets go of the sharpshooter...and he's off back through the crowd. The Rock is lying flat in the middle of the ring. See you next week!!

10 Months ago........

Rowdy Roddy Piper was the reigning defending World Heavyweight Champion. A Championship won in controversial circumstances, while the referee was knocked to the outside Pipers used a chloroform soaked towel (supplied by Paul Orndorff) to knockout his opponent and when the referee was revived he found Piper with his signature sleeper hold locked in.

The fans in attendance instantly turned on the one time fan favourite and over the next few months Piper would revel in the hate and continue to take any shortcut he could to retain his title.

GM Jesse ‘The Governing Body’ Ventura was sick of Pipers ways and the night after Hiroshi Tanahashi won the annual No 1 contenders tournament Piper and Orndorff tried to attack Tanahashi during an in ring interview only for Ventura to stop Piper in his tracks. Tired of Pipers actions he threw a major obstacle in Pipers way – he brought in a special enforcer – he brought in a man with History of upsetting Piper and Orndorff's schemes – he brought in the Greatest – Muhammad Ali.

At the High Fly Flow PPV Champion Roddy Piper would face off v Hiroshi Tanahashi w Muhammad Ali as the special referee.

The match itself was a cracker and with Ali around Orndorff's attempted involvement ended up with a quick right leaving him spread on the floor. Piper couldn’t get the 1-2-3 on Tanahashi and eventually he began to blame the greatest for a slow count. The inevitable happened when Pipers preoccupation with the ref left an opening for Tanahashi to take control of the match and deliver Sling Blade and High Fly Flow to win the World Championship.

The next night on Pipers Pit, Roddy explained that Ali is the reason he is no longer the World Champion and that he was in fact still the Greatest Wrestler that ever lived. While most people would complain and whine demanding a rematch Piper had a better plan, he would prove he is the greatest by challenging Muhammad Ali to a fight on whatever terms Ali wants but if Ali has any guts he would face him in a wrestling match! The challenge was accepted in typical Ali style and Ventura set the match for the March PPV in 2013.





What of the New Champion?

Tanahashi became a major star as soon as he won the Championship and became a target for ICE Wrestling's top superstars. After successful title defences all over the world Tanahashi would find himself in the middle of major feud between Randy Orton and Triple H. A triple Threat Match was set for Augusts Evolution PPV but Orton had other Ideas and one week before the PPV he used his patented Punt Kick to put Tanahashi on the Shelf. Tanahashi was forced to give up his Championship at the pre PPV Press conference







Not for the first time Orton and Triple H would find themselves battling over the title after the reigning Champion was injured.

Last week we learned that Tanahashi will be return to ICE wrestling and has demanded Orton meet him face to face in the ring.....................................






The World Heavyweight Championship was not the only title to find a new holder at the PPV.

The Alpha Athlete of Pro Wrestling and reigning Junior Heavyweight Champion of the World Jay Lethal was threatened through a series of online virals and video packages airing on TV. Governing Body Ventura informed Lethal that ICE wrestling’s owners had approved the airing of the video promos to build to the debut of a new Wrestler, a man that Lethal would have to face at the Evolution PPV.. Rumours circulated about the identity of the mystery opponent and just two weeks before the PPV a symbol appeared on the Big Screen






Then Kenny Omega appeared on stage. Omega proclaimed that while the Alpha Athlete may believe he is the top star he will soon meet his end at the hands of the Omega.

The mind games unsettled Lethal and he would go on to lose his title to the new Superstar..

Omega’s debut and championship reign set off a chain reaction over the next few months leading to a big match at the 2013 Terror Rising PPV event, more on this later…..

Show 1

Part I

LWE - LizLinear Wrestling Entertainment presents

Friday Night Ignition

The show begins will all four candidates for the GM position Dean Malenko, Stephanie McMahon, Bobby Heenan and Michelle McCool in the ring waiting for the owner's decision. All of a sudden the theme to Star Trek plays and William Shatner comes down and enters the ring. He takes a mic and goes up to each candidate and says hello. Heenan asks him what he doing there and Shatner says that the owner contacted me after his show stealing performance at the Oscars to reveal the new GM. Heenan tells him to get on with but McCool goes over and starts caressing him on his face which brings a huge smile to his face. Stephanie pulls her away and then she starts smiling at and caressing Shatner's face who has dropped the mic. Heenan picks up the mic and asks Malenko is he next to do this crap to loopy Shatner. McCool pulls Stephanie away and the two start fighting in the ring. Shatner tries to separate them and he succeeds. He gets the mic back and tells them while they are ravishing creatures they have not got the job but can come and commserate with him in the back in his dressing room. Stephanie slaps him and then McCool and leaves the ring. Shatner is going to speak with Austin Aries music hits and he stands on the ramp and says that this promotion has become a joke
that he should be running the show, he is the greatest ever and has beaten everyone there and held every title. He tells Heenan to stick to managing his family and that he wouldnt be a fair GM given how the current LWE World Heavyweight Champion Mr. Perfect
regained his title at the last ppv but that using dirty tricks is in everyone's playbook so he respects that. Aries then turns to Malenko and asks who are you again a roadie or booker or agent and laughs and that he dont deserve to even be in the same universe as him let alone same ring. Malenko has heard enough and takes the mic from Shatner and tells Aries to shut up and come down the ring as he has never beaten him despite his claims to have beaten everyone. Aries says he dont beat up old men on the brink of retiring and goes to the back. Malenko turns and aks Shatner who got the job. Aries sneakily runs down to the ring and takes down Malenko. He is beating on him outside the ring now. Shatner tells Heenan to do something but Heenan says he cant only the GM can so Shatner tells him he has the job. So the new GM is Bobby Heenan. Heenan takes the mic and tells Aries to stop or he will be fined and suspended or even fired but laughs as he cant stay serious saying that. Aries continues beating Malenko until International Airstrike aka Tyson Kidd and Justin Gabriel come out and make the save while Aries leaves through the crowd. They check on Malenko (who had helped the former tag team champions as a friend and mentor). Heenan tells them as they want to fight they will be in action later tonight. Heenan says he is a fair GM so Aries will be punished.

Backstage Intercontinental ChampionWade Barrett is with his girlfriend Women's Champion Layla discussing his movie Dead Man Down and how has been approached to play the lead over Jason Statham in Guy Ritchie's new film. Barrett says that although many actresses now are falling head over feet for him he mentions Jennifer Lawerence at the Oscars, Layla is the only one for him.

Stephanie goes to the GM office to speak with Heenan and asks if she could be his assistant as she is a useful asset to have, Heenan tells her he will think about it and she leaves.

First match up is one half of the current tag team champions Davey Richards against The Pope D'Angelo Dinero which Dinero wins with his legs on the ropes.

Shatner enters the GM office and tells Heenan that the owner asked him to stay around a few weeks to drum up publicity for the upcoming WrestleMayhem PPV and he starts humming the theme tune to Boston Legal and dancing. Heenan asks for someone to please beam him up.

Lord TSC

On New Year’s Day, 2013, a young man in Ireland struck gold. A €2 lottery ticket granted him the biggest win in his lifetime, the Euromillions paying out over €150 million. As a life long wrestling fan, there was only one thing the young man was ever going to do with the cash; open a wrestling promotion.

Dave Shadow, name legally changed following his win and decision to enter the wrestling industry, bought a small island off the coast of Ireland. Located on the island was the ruins of an old castle, with a giant courtyard right in the middle of it. With its multiple rooms, underground access passages, a dock to ferry people to and fro, it provided the perfect grounds to establish his base of operations.

And tonight, Dave Shadow, alongside TSC Productions, presents the first episode of...

Castle Island Wrestling

The show opens up with Jerry Lawler and Jim Ross welcoming everyone, hyping the show and saying how pleased they and everyone is to be on the island, ready to present some astounding action. The arena sees a ring set up in the middle of the made over courtyard, and seating structures build up all around it, allowing

They cut up to a balcony overlooking the open arena. Dave Shadow stands on it. He welcomes everyone to the show, and announces that since it's the debut of the biggest show on Earth, he's decided to give everyone the biggest main event in the history of wrestling right here today. He announces that tonight, we'll get John Cena going up against Goldberg. He also talks about he's hired Chuck Norris to act as his eyes and ears backstage at the show, and that Norris will have the power to make any matches he sees fit. With that, he tells everyone to enjoy the show.

Match One
Monty Brown vs Brodus Clay

Brown shows absolutely no fear at the superior weight and size advantage held by Clay. He throws everything he has at the monster, with the two going back and forth through the match.

After a few minutes, Bobby Roode starts making his way down the ramp. He distracts the referee long enough for Brown to take advantage and connect with a Pounce, knocking Clay down long enough for Brown to get the win. Brown exits the ring quickly after the ref finishes the count and heads up the ramp, leaving with Roode.

Winner: Monty Brown

Backstage...

Chuck Norris is talking to Zack Ryder, Ryder telling Norris how awesome it is to be at Castle Island Wrestling, how cool it is. Deuce and Domino walk into shot, and ask Ryder what he'd know about "cool". Norris sees this as a challenge. He tells Ryder to find a tag partner, cause he'll be facing Deuce and Domino tonight. Ryder says he's excited; a new show means a new chance to prove himself.

Match Two
Hallowicked (w/Delirious) vs Killer Kowalski

Hallowicked is in the ring as Killer walks out with a microphone. He gruffs about how in his day, wrestlers didn't wear Halloween costumes that looked like their mothers put them together on a low budget, and that Hallowicked doesn't look like he takes any pride in himself.

The match is short enough, with Kowalski performing the perfect clinic on Wicked. It doesn't take long for him to apply his Kowalski Claw to his opponent, forcing the tap out. He seems reluctant to let it go even after the bell rings though, and doesn't release the move until Delirious comes in and pulls him off. Kowalski leaves, having seen enough.

Winner: Killer Kowalski.

Backstage...

Cena is warming up for one of the biggest matches of his career when Zack Ryder walks into the dressing room. He tells Cena that he needs a partner tonight and asks Cena to help him out. Cena laughs, telling Ryder that he has other things on his mind. Ryder asks if he's serious; Ryder knows Cena could take the likes of Deuce and Domino down without much hassle, and that realistically, all Cena has to do is sit on the apron while Ryder does most of the work. Still Cena declines, but thanks Ryder for wanting to team with him.

Ryder starts to leave when a familiar face appears behind him...

Santino volunteers to be Ryder's partner tonight in the match. Ryder reluctantly accepts.

Match Three
Santino Marella & Zack Ryder vs Deuce N' Domino

Santino starts the match off...and is at the end of it within a minute, his showboating leading to Deuce and Domino recording a quick win via the running boot to the face. Ryder looks disraught, having never even got to participate in the match, as DnD get the clean win. The commentators play up the fact that even in Castle Island Wrestling, Zack Ryder still cannot catch a break.

Winners: Deuce and Domino

Match Four
Bobby Roode vs Zema Ion

The match never even gets underway. Roode is first down to the ring but as Zema Ion makes his entrance, Brown appears out of nowhere and delievers the shouldertackle to his back, blindsiding Ion. He throws Ion into the ring and the two start to beat him down.

Brodus Clay, still sore from his earlier screwing at the hands of these two, runs down to the ring to help. However the numbers rebalance when a masked man jumps from the crowd and helps Roode and Brown. When he delievers the Stroke to Clay, it becomes obvious who he is; he pulls off the mask to reveal...

JR screams that Roode, Brown and Jeff Jarett are all in cahoots, and the three men celebrate together in the middle of the ring. Lawler notes that these three men used to be part of a group called "Planet Jarrett" years ago in another promotion, and that now they seem to have realigned themselves together once again.

A promo video airs for Akebono, showing clips of his time as a Sumo Wrestler, as an MMA fighter and as a professional wrestler working in Japan. It warns that he'll be on the show next week to reap destruction on any who stands in his path.

Match Five: Main Event
John Cena vs Goldberg

The crowd are on their feet as a dream match starts, the two going rough from the get go, trading punches, kicks and holds, throwing everything they've got at each other from the offset. The two muscle heads throw devestating shots at each other, rattling each other. Their fight spills out of the ring and the two bounce each other off the stairs, the ring post and the announces table. Anything they can run the other into, they can.

However, neither man wants to show weakness and they try their best to show no sign of damage, no selling everything that the other throws at them.

After going back and forth for 15 minutes, Cena hits an Attitude Adjustment and the crowd go nuts, but Goldberg kicks out at 2. Goldberg goes for a Jackhammer, but as he lifts Cena up, Cena shifts his weight, pushing himself downwards ontop of Goldberg who falls down, allowing Cena to apply the STF-U. It looks like he might be in serious trouble when suddenly...

Deuce and Domino drive out in their classic car and start moving towards the ring. Goldberg powers out of the STF-U admist the distract and moves into position for a spear. Cena dodges it as Deuce and Domino get to the ring. They climb onto the apron and Cena attacks them, knocking them down, not letting them get a hit on him. Goldberg sees an opening though and nails Cena with the spear. Goldberg gets the three count as Deuce and Domino quickly run away.

Winner: Goldberg

Although he doesn't look overly happy with how it went down, Goldberg still celebrates a massive win over a big star like Cena. Cena, on the other hand, rolls to the outside with a bemused expression on his face, wondering why the hell Deuce and Domino of all people decided to interfere in his match up.

The show ends with JR and Cole biging-up Goldberg and asking the question....Who Next?

Bounty Hunter

Welcome to BWA Raw Re-Cap

Introducing BWA Chairman Bounty Hunter... (can count as my CAW)

The Result of last years BWA draft war hit the BWA and it's chairman hard. Monday Night Grappling was voted the clear winners, The WECWF went under as a result of it's extreme non PG nature and the BWA has really struggled to come to terms with it since in particular the man in control of the promotion Bounty Hunter who has made a number of big gambles in order to restore his federation to their rightful place at the top of the PW boards world.

These changes included a wholesale gutting of the 2012 BWA roster whom he blamed for last years loss and the arrival of some real high profile names in their place including Stone Cold Steve Austin and the man many claim is responsible for WECWF's problems, their champion Jake The Snake Roberts. It was in fact both of these mens arrivals that would result in the chairman instigating a ruling which meant nobody would get a BWA world title shot until they showed themselves to be of a certain high moral character first. It was a new world after WECWF was shut down and to survive you had to be able project a PG image in this modern PW era.

After the urging of BWA regular and fan favourite Kenta Kobashi, One man Bounty Hunter decide to bring back to the BWA that he thought could show these qualities was former BWA star and Kobashi's former partner Mitsuharu Misawa

Introducing Mitsuharu Misawa

Re-signing the former BWA star allowed the BWA chairman get one back on MNG promotions by pillaging one of their top stars and former champion just like he had done with Jake from his now defunct WECWF rivals. The chairman made such a big deal of his return that BWA world champion Bryan Danielson (see last years BWA draft, will write out now) actually demanded to face him and in doing so prove he was still the top dog in the BWA. This was a big mistake.

With Kobashi in his Corner, a more serious (than he was last portrayed in the BWA atleast) Misawa delivered a masterclass in wrestling against as he described him "the Indy starlet" and eventually forced him to tap out to a crossface after dropping him on his shoulder with a loud thud from the 2nd rope with a Tiger Driver.

The following night on Raw as the BWA chairman rejoiced in the result (Danielson had been stalling on signing a new contract after last years boards draft disappointment and was now put on the shelf injured and dropped the belt) Misawa made his way to the ring and cut a celebratory yet scathing promo which saw his crowd approval turn to mega heat.

He said that what he did last night was the same thing he had been doing for years prior in the BWA but that it took him leaving the company and going to MNG for the people in the back and the crowd to realise how good he was. He talked about the lenghts he went to to always put on the best match on the card but would always be overlooked in the past, about how he mastered the English language to connect with the fans but got nothing in return and no matter how many inferior wrestlers he beat in the past he never got title shots. It took him leaving the promotion last year and going to a rival promotion and winning their heavyweight championship before anyone in the BWA even realised what they had and had let go in him.

He didn't return however to gain the fans approval, he had moved on from that particular goal but he did want to show the world that given the opportunity he could have won the BWA world title. That was as he said the only reason he responded when the BWA chairman reached out to him to return, he doesn't care about the fans, he's just the best and back to prove it.

re-introducing Kenta Kobashi

Kobashi has been with the BWA longer than any wrestler has been with any promotion in Boards Draft history. Perhaps this is why his word has so much sway backstage these days and why BWA chairman Bounty Hunter took such notice of his suggestions to get his former partner (Misawa) back to the BWA. This would also explain why Misawa's reaction (distain towards the BWA fans etc) after returning and winning the BWA World title hit Kobashi hard. He didnt seem himself for a number of weeks afterwards before cutting a promo talking about how he was struggling to get the same enjoyment from this industry anymore and was considering retirement. In the weeks following he has had a number of opponunts cut promos on how they would make his decision for him and end his career early etc but each time he has defeated and silenced them including the former Intercontinental champion Jeff Jarrett who know ply's his trade in another promotion. Despite now being IC champion the questions with regards his future still linger.

Introducing Jake "The Snake" Roberts

It's been almost one year since the culmination of the boards Monday night wars and the battle for supremacy between the BWA, Monday Night Grappling & WECWF, the latter of which headlined it's PPV with the meeting of the straight edge saviour CM Punk and Jake "The Snake" Roberts. Roberts surprised many with an incredible display that night he won the big gold belt and then uttered these now infamous words

JAKE ROBERTS
Tonight is the Greatest day of My life, tonight is the night I've dreamt about my entire life, CM Punk i just want you to know.. Im going back to my hotel room to do an 8 ball of coke.. But I'll do it as the WECWF World Heavyweight Champion..

3 weeks later and Roberts once again addressed the WECWF faithfull but in part due to his words and actions those 3 weeks hence this was to be potentially the last ever broadcast of the WECWF. It seems the antics of the extreme element of his promotion lead by Jake had cost WalterSobchek dear and that after tonight court orderd sanctions would see WECWF forced to close it's doors. He said he was sorry to see the show have to go to hiatus and was sorry if his honesty on PPV was what sparked the investigation into the backstage dealings in the WECWF which lead to Waltersobcheks promotion licence being revoked (subject to review on a yearly basis of course).

However he said he wasn't sorry for who he was or what he did but that meerly he was sorry for how people chose to react to his words and that that meant he would not be able to wrestle in the WECWF as it's champion. He did however assure the fans he would represent the promotion wherever he went.

Only one week later and Jake made a shock appearance on BWA Raw and cut the now infamous "year of the snake" promo. This was when he referenced that in the Chinese calendar this is considerd the year of the Snake and there is no way he was going to not compete in a top promotion this year but instead that he believed he was destined to make a major impact in one before the year was out . This was also when he talked about his reasons for coming to the BWA despite almost embodying one of their main rivals until recent times. He was still carrying the big gold WECWF belt with him and referring to himself as a world champion however and this instantly irked a lot of people within his new home especially as he never defended this belt in the BWA.

Former BWA champion HHH (on my last roster) was one such person who took exception to it and he was Jake's first big feud upon arriving
in the BWA. Surprisingly Hunter put Jake over strong (on his way out) and Jake got a big win before arguably going a step over the line and setting Damian on a downed and out Hunter in the ring who got bit numerous times (he gets written out here).

It's shortly after this point when BWA chairman Bounty Hunter had to remind Jake of the strict conditions and behaviour he agreed to in order to wrestle here (Jake would later Joke that it was his arrival in the BWA that forced it to go PG) and that if he could not improve his behaviour he would never get a world title shot, which at the time was what Jake was talking about wanting, a chance as he called it to become an undisputed world champion.

Introducing Stone Cold Steve Austin

Stone Cold had signed a deal with the BWA quite a while before debuting but it seems to his bad luck in the time between the industry and the BWA took a more PG turn. It would seem nobody told Austin however and in a rather awkward turn BWA chairman had to tell Austin on his first night, a night that had been promoted in advance as featuring SCSA who would open the show, that he was too drunk to compete and send him back to the lockeroom area. His match was rescheduled to be the main event that night and he was given time to sober up but by now "The Rattlesnake" was pis*ed in more ways than 1 and when it came to main event time (where Bounty Hunter came out as an outside enforcer of sorts) he unleashed his annoyance on everyone involved leaving his opponent, the referee and even The BWA chairman lying after Stone Cold Stunners after he had flipped them all off. The show went off the air with him celebrating with a trademark SCSA beer bath but this would not be the last he would hear of this.

He and we all knew that he of all people should have known better but laying hands on the boss does not ingratiate yourself with a new company. In fact it was this action that actually lead to the debut of Rocky Marciano the following week after Austin cut an incredible promo where he was actually able to belittle the crowd for ruining potentially great promo's over the past decade using his "What!" Schtick while still keeping the audience pro Austin cos he was simply so funny in his delivery.

Introducing Rocky Marciano

The Boss (Bounty Hunter) had been putting himself in harms way too often recently against stars such as Jake "The Snake" Roberts or Stone Cold Steve Austin and needed someone to have his back. Marciano is the only champion to hold the heavyweight title in boxing and go untied and undefeated throughout his career, so who better for the BWA Chairman to get in as his "Enforcer". Thankfully Since Marciano's arrival nobody has laid a finger on the chairman, would someone really be silly enough as to cross the champ?

We got a chance to find out when he debuted squaring up to the Rattlesnake SCSA but Austin much to the crowd approval said he had too much respect to throw down with the legendary fighter

Introducing Dos Caras

The Introduction of the Mexican legend Dos Caras was an unexpected move by BWA chairman Bounty Hunter but one that seemed to pay immediate dividends for his promotion as he saw a big spike in viewership when the debut was made and again even bigger when they were able to promote the following week on BWA Raw where Dos Caras had announced he would shed his mask and that now in America he would allow his true identity to be known.

On that show none other than Ricardo Rodriguez came up to the ring to act as the personal ring announcer for Dos Caras
and what a job he did, you would have been forgiven for thinking the King of all of Mexico was about to make his way to the ring when Dos Caras emerged. He made his way down to the ring where after some more bilingual bigging up from Ricardo he stuck to his word and removed his mask before taking the Mic and saying "My Name is Alberto Del Rio, but of course you should have already known that!". later the commentators emphasized it's Alberto Del Rio Senior, not to be mistaking with the man they now realize is his son who wrestles in a Rival promotion but it isn't long before Dos Caras makes that point clear himself.

He talks about how he looks down on the pitiful rival promotion that his son has tarnished the good name Del Rio by participating in and has come to the BWA to prove there is true quality in the name Del Rio (thus he had to drop the mask). He says that all you have seen from his son was his, he payed Ricardo's salary, he owned the fancy cars and he taught him every move in his sons Arsenal but that his son was nothing but a mere imitation of "Daddy Del Rio".

Despite a clear showing or arrogance Del Rio Sr truly made an impact upon his arrival in the BWA and the owner & BWA chairman Bounty Hunter was so impressed with him especially given his words and actions (taking Ricardo away from his son) with regards his rivals in MNG that he actually allowed him invest part of his considerable fortune in the BWA and become a minor shareholder (well everyone was minor compared to Bounty Hunters shares). Del Rio therefore spent a lot of time outside of the ring in his early days but slowly started competing in ring at first defeating a string of jobbers easily yet impressively.

Introducing Jado & Gedo

These two were apparently given a trial by the BWA chairman after being highly recommended to him by Mitsuharu Misawa before he became BWA champion. They were extremely impressive in a bout against The Eliminators and earned themselves contracts with the promotion however it is yet to be seen if they are really "The World Class Tag Team" they say they are or if their association with Misawa will affect them negatively after he turned on the BWA fans either way these two seem worth keeping an eye on.

Introducing Bob Sapp

The Chairman of the board Bounty Hunter had been talking for a number of weeks about not only wanting to recruit the biggest names around right now, like Stone Cold, or WECWF champion Jake "The Snake" Roberts or The Mexican aristocrat Dos Caras but how he also wanted to sign up the next major star in Pro Wrestling. Therefore when the last of those big names mentioned above approached him suggesting a potential new recruit to the roster he was all ears.

Daddy Del Rio was heard to say to him

So you want someone new not everyone knows about but that can make a big impact, you want your own Django unchained, Your Next big thing, a new animal, well how about I give the man known as "The Beast Unleashed"

This moniker intrigued the chairman who had honestly never heard of this man so he told Del Rio sr to make it so. However Alberto Sr refused to do so unless Bounty Hunter gave him an option to buy more BWA stock from him. As he pointed out this vexed the Boss but he relented and allowed The Mexican to pump more money into the company and up his share to 25% of the company. Therefore the following week Bob "The Beast Unleashed" Sapp made his debut to a great reaction. He well and truly lived up to his billing as a beast and tore apart any opponents put in front of him.

It wasn't long before he distanced himself from Del Rio however with the Mexican describing him as uncontrollable while the big man who now began talking more and more described himself as a leader and not a follower.

In the weeks and months that followed this statement was proven true with superstars almost gravitating towards him including some surprising names

introducing New Jack & Mustafa Seed aka The New Gangstas

two of the wrestlers who seemed to almost hang on every word from "The Beast Unleashed" were New Jack & Mustafa Seed. They didn't say much but where intimidating to f*ck especially New Jack whom it was clear had a real nasty streak. For some reason these two began acting as Sapp's muscle. not that he didn't have enough himself, carrying out orders for him on the drop of a hat. It was an example of this which really solidified the image of The New Gangsters when New Jack actually went as far as pulling a knife out on backstage interviewer Todd Grisham after he came off as having been sarcastic when interviewing Sapp.

Nobody in the BWA seems to want any part of this tag team be it in or outside the ring.

Introducing Mr & Ms Bobby Lashley

When BWA chairman Bounty Hunter was looking for his next big thing and before Alberto Del Rio brought forward The Beast Unleashed Bob Sapp he had kept coming back to one name. That name was a man he described as one that everyone had always expected to be the next big thing in PW but someone who it just hadn't happened for yet, someone who he thought in the right conditions could still flourish. With ratings and profits up after the introduction of stars such as Austin, Dos Caras & Misawa the chairman thought he could gamble and bring in this man and as an added bonus he got his beautiful wife too as Bobby & Kristal Lashley joined up for the BWA.

The chairman did have one concern though, how would Bob Sapp react to Lashley's arrival? The two had quite a storied past together and the chairman was not the only one expecting a potential collision in the BWA, however this was not exactley what we saw. In fact when the two finally came face to face in a tag match Bobby Lashley actually refused to tag in saying he didn't want to face Sapp. In an interview after the match he actually said "I owe that man too much" in an attempt to explain his actions but this left the BWA universe with even more questions to pose.

introducing Alex Shelly & Chris Sabin aka The Motor City Machine Guns

Often considerd the pretty boys of the BWA lockeroom Sabin & Shelly have proved everything but in the ring and quickly rose up the ranks in the tag team division to become the BWA tag team champions a position they have now held for several months. The most recent big news related to this duo is how MTV have apparently been in contact with them recently about producing a follow up to their 2008 appearance in the show "Made" where they taught a school boy the basics of Professional wrestling.

This is something they have been bragging about backstage and recently it has really been starting to annoy many of the lockeroom especially those who perhaps think they are more suited to training someone how to wrestle.

Introducing Perry Saturn & John Kronos aka The Eliminators

Rounding out the BWA tag team division for 2013 are the former ECW tag champs the Eliminators. This team comprises of John Kronos who was usually described as meerly a good worker and the man who added a real X factor to the team, Perry Saturn. Saturn was a real maverick and you never knew which Saturn you would get. Would it be the world class athlete that Killer Kowalski used to often hold up as an example to others calling him his best pupil or the half mad nonsense speaking mop lover who had been loving homeless until recently. When Saturn was on his game the Eliminators were near impossible to beat but those days seemed to be less and less regular these days.

In an unusual twist to this story Saturn was often to be found in the company of The New Gangsta's and Bob Sapp, some speculated the reason behind his involvement with them and when a direct correlation was pointed out between the days he is seen in their company and the days when he seems more disheveled and unable to bring his A game in the ring this speculation started to become a lot more clear.

Mr.Nice Guy

Out of the ashes of a company’s darkest hour comes its new dawn…

Previously on Monday Night Grappling…

"This is the end ladies and gentlemen. Shawn Michaels has won the Heavyweight Championship and is leaving the company…"

In 2012 the world did end for Monday Night Grappling. In its main event the new champion departed the company and took with him the heavyweight championship. It was to prove a bittersweet year for the promotion. While the company achieved record breaking profits and unprecedented ratings, the loss of the championship belt meant a loss of prestige and many of its performers departed the company.

The owner has been silent as rumours circulated as recently as a week ago that he was preparing to wind up the promotion. There is no World Champion. No GM on the show. No sense of direction at all. The question on MNG fans’s lips is…what will become of the company now? What will happen in this new season? Will there even be a company to support?

Welcome to the brand new season of...

Monday Night Grappling

The show opens from Charlotte, North Carolina as the commentators thank the fans for their loyalty and support the past year.

Alberto Del Rio appears to the fans who give him a standing ovation.



Alberto says he suspects the fans are aware of how much of his own fortune he has put into Monday Night Grappling to try and keep it alive. (Fans chant ‘Thank you Al’ as Alberto has tears in his eyes).

Alberto says he has put his heart and soul into trying to keep this place alive and the rumours are true that he is on the brink of bankruptcy. He says money is so tight that he had to advise his best friend Ricardo and even his own father to go get a better deal in the scoundrel organisation known as the BWA. Del Rio says it’s been the hardest year of his life and only his relationship with Rosa Mendes has kept him going (fans boo her name).

Del Rio says the owner of the company is absent (fans boo the mention of him too) and says it is true there is only one title in the company – Trish’s Women’s Title which she has won back since last year’s show. Alberto admits the company lacks star power but that he has assembled as much as he can with his money and tonight he will unveil this: he holds up a bag. Del Rio says in here is the new Monday Night Grappling championship and all the male wrestlers will have a chance tonight to win it in an over the top rope battle royal. The wrestlers competing will be:

The British Invasion (boo)...Rush (boo)...Fit Finlay (cheer)...Magnum TA (bigger cheer)...the Fabulous Freebirds (bigger cheer) and…myself Alberto Del Rio (biggest cheer). The fans chant his name and Del Rio says it’s time to kick things off and since the other wrestlers were happy for him to take charge tonight, he has made a huge women's tag match right now...

Match 1 – Trish Stratus & Lita vs Beth Phoenix and Nattie Neidhart

Trish – the Women’s champ – who Alberto has convinced to stay with the company hugs Del Rio (as does Lita). The 'Divas of Doom' refuse to do so to large boos.

In a great back and forth contest where the Divas of Doom impress with their strong tandem offence, the finish sees Trish knocked to the outside and claim to have a sore wrist. As Lita reaches for the tag Trish is holding her wrist and Beth and Nattie team up to finish her off for the win.

Winners: Divas of Doom



After the match Lita asks Trish what that was about. Trish shoves her and storms off and blames her on the loss. Beth and Nattie grab a mic and say if that’s all the competition there is in this place then they will dominate. As we cut to backstage we see Aja Kong looking on at the monitor and she is NOT happy. An interviewer asks her to comment on what the Divas of Doom just said but she just smirks and walks away.

*There is a commercial shown for a new DVD – how MNG won the Monday Night War last year vs BWA and WECWF– there is a special half-price deal due to the company’s financial situation.*

*backstage segment* - Michael Hayes is talking backstage with Del Rio and he thanks him for all the sacrifices he has made and for pumping money into the company. Hayes says he and Gordy are also grateful for the opportunity later but warns he will go all out to win the new title. Del Rio nods but a lackey runs in and says to come quick: Gordy has been taken out. As we rush down the halls we see Gordy is unconscious and is a bloody mess. What happened?

Monday Night Grappling: Irish Boot Camp



This year in a new twist the company’s Irish branch has nominated three superstars for the chance to earn a contract with the company, but only one can be considered 'tough enough'. We meet the contestants:

Foxy Rock – This 25 year old blonde describes herself as a Daddy’s girl and says she is from the rich and trendy part of Dublin, Ireland. She says she enjoys putting fake tan on herself and watching Leinster’s rugby team for all the fit boys. ‘I’m loike sooooo super excited to earn lots of money and go on A LOT of shopping sprees. Vote for me, kay?’

‘The Scangster’ Mickey Fitt – Decked out in a leather trenchcoat that covers all but his white runners and baseball cap, Mickey claims he is from the mean streets of Dublin and says his three favourites things in life are ‘getting pissed, pissing off the Guards and bateing the heads off of anyone who gets in his way. Says his hero in life is Spiral from Big Brother. ‘Watch out for my finisher ‘Scangster’s paradise’.

Fibber Mac and his handler ‘Old Donal’ – A white-haired old man with a tin whistle called ‘Old Donal’ introduces us to a big 6 foot seven, 350 pound grizzled looking beast who sits silently rocking back and forth – he is Fibber. Old Donal says he doesn’t know his real name or where he comes from but he found him outside the pub Fibber Magees and decided to call him that. He says Fibber grew up eating sheep raw and hates the name Fibber as it reminds him of how he’s an unwanted bastard. Fibber begins slapping himself on the head and smashes the camera with his fist. Old Donal plays The Minstrel Boy on his tin whistle and the beast calms down and sucks his thumb.

Which one of these three characters will get the contract? Watch them try to earn your support and find out the winner at the end of the season.

*backstage segment*



Rosa runs up to Alberto and asks him if he likes her new fur coat. Alberto says money is tight and she should be watching what she spends. Rosa says a woman like her needs to be treated like royalty. Alberto says a lot of her financial moves have been questionable lately such as her decision to invest in Anglo Irish and to avoid investing in the cloning company like Alberto had wanted. Rosa says cloning isn’t going to be as big as he thinks. She asks if he will watch her match next with Aja Kong but Del Rio says he is not sure he can as he needs to check on Terry Gordy.



Rush comes along having been listening behind the corner and says if he was with Rosa he would treat her a lot better. He invites her to become his manager and says maybe they can learn to mix business with pleasure. He says he will win the title tonight and become the hottest young star in the industry as Rosa looks on flattered. He asks if she wants him to go to ringside with her but she declines.

*a promo airs with Magnum TA talking about his battle back to the ring and how winning the title tonight would mean everything to him.*

*Finlay in the same piece says of everything he has done in his career he has never won the big one – a World Title - and he would love to do it tonight*

Match 2 – Rosa Mendes vs Aja Kong

Kong is not in a good mood and disposes of Rosa without breaking a sweat.

Winner: Aja Kong



After the match, Aja runs into Nattie who says she doesn’t think Aja is all that. From behind, Beth clatters her with a steel chair and they beat her down. They say they are the dominant divas in the company so get used to it.

*backstage interview* -



Magnus and Doug Wiliams say the Irish have done very few things of note but Finlay is one of their better exports, unlike Enya and that muck Guinness. They say they respect Finlay but will take him out tonight and begin to bicker about which one of them will win the title.

*backstage segment*
Del Rio is interviewed backstage and says Gordy won’t be able to compete tonight when Rosa interrupts and demands to know where he was. Del Rio says he had to check on his friend Gordy but Rosa says Del Rio cares more about his friends than her. He doesn’t love her or respect her. Says maybe she should find someone who will. She storms off but before Del Rio can follow her another lackey runs along and says Michael Hayes has been attacked.

They run along the corridor to find Hayes beaten unconscious just like Gordy was. Who has taken out the Fabulous Freebirds? Del Rio finds a note stuffed down Hayes’s bloody shirt. The interviewer asks what it says. Del Rio reveals it says ‘Welcome to the Apocalypse.’ What does this mean? Del Rio says he can’t take much more stress.

Main Event Match: 8 man - now 6 man – over the rope Battle Royal for the vacant MNG World Title : Alberto Del Rio vs Magnus vs Doug Williams vs Finlay vs Rush vs Magnum T.A.

Rush went after Del Rio immediately. Magnus and Doug went after Finlay but Magnum T.A. evened up the score.

The first elimination saw Doug Williams holding Finlay for Magnus to eliminate him but Finlay ducked and Magnus accidentally eliminated Williams.

Doug Williams has been eliminated.

As Magnus looked on shocked at what had happened, Finlay turned Magnus over the ropes as well.

Magnus has been eliminated.

The two British Invasion members argue at first but then Magnus smiles back at Finlay and applauds him. Finlay looks back unimpressed. Finlay turns around at Magnum T.A. and the two men share a handshake and then begin striking at one another. Finlay hits the Celtic Cross but turns around into a DDT from Rush who turns around into a Del Rio takedown and armbar -Rush taps out but that doesn’t count in this match. We cut backstage to Rosa looking on from a monitor whilst chewing her nails. Del Rio sits up but Magnum T.A. clotheslines him over the ropes – but he hangs on. Magnum then hits a belly to belly suplex on Finlay and eliminates the Irishman.

Finlay has been eliminated

Rush meanwhile has since recovered and from behind hits a dropkick to eliminate Magnum T.A to big boos.

Magnum T.A. has been eliminated

Now we are down to Rush and Del Rio and the younger Mexican prepares to hit a super kick on Del Rio who is still clinging to the ropes. As he goes for it Del Rio dodges, hits an enzuigiri and then tosses the young man over the rope to win the match.

Rush has been eliminated

Winner of the match and the new MNG World–

The lights shut down.

Commentators: What the hell is this? What’s happened?

The crowd in Charlotte go bananas as the Horsemen theme hits. Out struts Barry Windham and Arn Anderson and Tully Blanchard. All three men are carrying gold.

Commentators: My goodness! Unless my eyes deceive me, Barry Windham is holding the MNG Legends Title and Anderson and Blanchard are holding the MNG Tag Titles. What is going on here?

Barry Windham: Congratulations Mr Del Rio on your hard-earned victory. Unfortunately for you…it has all been for nothing. You have carried this company well through its difficulties. But WE will take things from here.

He passes the mic to Blanchard. The commentators notice all their hands are bloody.

Tully Blanchard: You’ll have to excuse the blood on our hands. I and my friends are normally impeccably well dressed but tonight we gentlemen had to settle an old score backstage with some long-haired hippies. A small sign of things to come.

He passes the mic to Arn Anderson as the fans cheer.

Arn Anderson: Like the note you found earlier said Del Rio - ‘Welcome to the Apocalypse'. And what do you associate with the Apocalypse. Why…the Four Horsemen of course!

(The fans cheer and do the Horsemen sign)

Anderson: But I feel like I’m forgetting somebody here…

(Fans begin to woo)

Anderson: My God! I almost forgot the fourth Horseman, Ric Flair get on down here!

(The fans pop huge as the Nature Boy struts out to his theme wearing an absurdly expensive suit and wooing and hugging his friends. He is holding a briefcase. Del Rio looks on with eyes glaring)

Ric Flair: My, my, my…

*woo chants fill the arena*

How I love to be home!

*more woos*

And Alberto, like I always say, when you come home having been away a long time you should always bring with you a souvenir. He lifts open the briefcase to reveal…

Commentators: My goodness! That’s the MNG World Title! How the hell does he have that?!

Ric Flair: You know…some people think the world didn’t end in 2012. Some people think the Mayans got it wrong. But for Monday Night Grappling the world did end. This belt right here is the greatest, most prestigious world championship belt in the world today. It was taken from this organisation by a man I know VERY well.

*woo chants again*

Flair: The owner of this company knew he needed to do something radical. Needed to somehow find a way to bring the company back from the brink. And the owner of this company came to me and said…NATURE BOY!...Slick Ric…I’m gonna make the price right, my friend! Your credentials are unlimited. If anybody can bring that title home to where it belongs…brother, it’s YOU.

*woos*

Flair: And there are a lot of rumours going around…did I defeat HBK for this title belt. Or did I wheel and deal like a son of a gun and buy it off him! Or…did Shawn Michaels at his most disrespectful worst…still have enough respect inside for one man…one man who he respects the most in the world…did he simply in the end hand it over to me? Well, due to that performer no longer being contracted here I am sworn to secrecy. As the girls know the Nature Boy doesn’t kiss and tell! All you need to know is that the Horsemen now have all the gold.

Arn and Tully…are the World tag team champions. Barry Windham is the MNG Legends Champion and we've agreed Barry is also going to represent the company as the new General Manager…and yours truly the Nature Boy Ric Flair…is officially the World’s Heavyweight wrestling Champion…Woooo!

As for you Alberto…it seems you’ve wasted even more of your money with whatever is in that bag up there…because brother you are NOT the world champion of this company. As the entire world knows…TO BE THE MAN…YOU GOTTA BEAT THE MAN and this belt right here makes me the man! Woooo!

The show goes off the air with the Horsemen seemingly in complete control of the company as Del Rio in the ring looks on, holding a bag with a belt that has now been made worthless.

The credits roll.

Part I

LWE - LizLinear Wrestling Entertainment presents

Friday Night Ignition


The show begins will all four candidates for the GM position Dean Malenko, Stephanie McMahon, Bobby Heenan and Michelle McCool in the ring waiting for the owner's decision. All of a sudden the theme to Star Trek plays and William Shatner comes down and enters the ring. He takes a mic and goes up to each candidate and says hello. Heenan asks him what he doing there and Shatner says that the owner contacted me after his show stealing performance at the Oscars to reveal the new GM. Heenan tells him to get on with but McCool goes over and starts caressing him on his face which brings a huge smile to his face. Stephanie pulls her away and then she starts smiling at and caressing Shatner's face who has dropped the mic. Heenan picks up the mic and asks Malenko is he next to do this crap to loopy Shatner. McCool pulls Stephanie away and the two start fighting in the ring. Shatner tries to separate them and he succeeds. He gets the mic back and tells them while they are ravishing creatures they have not got the job but can come and commserate with him in the back in his dressing room. Stephanie slaps him and then McCool and leaves the ring. Shatner is going to speak with Austin Aries music hits and he stands on the ramp and says that this promotion has become a joke
that he should be running the show, he is the greatest ever and has beaten everyone there and held every title. He tells Heenan to stick to managing his family and that he wouldnt be a fair GM given how the current LWE World Heavyweight Champion Mr. Perfect
regained his title at the last ppv but that using dirty tricks is in everyone's playbook so he respects that. Aries then turns to Malenko and asks who are you again a roadie or booker or agent and laughs and that he dont deserve to even be in the same universe as him let alone same ring. Malenko has heard enough and takes the mic from Shatner and tells Aries to shut up and come down the ring as he has never beaten him despite his claims to have beaten everyone. Aries says he dont beat up old men on the brink of retiring and goes to the back. Malenko turns and aks Shatner who got the job. Aries sneakily runs down to the ring and takes down Malenko. He is beating on him outside the ring now. Shatner tells Heenan to do something but Heenan says he cant only the GM can so Shatner tells him he has the job. So the new GM is Bobby Heenan. Heenan takes the mic and tells Aries to stop or he will be fined and suspended or even fired but laughs as he cant stay serious saying that. Aries continues beating Malenko until International Airstrike aka Tyson Kidd and Justin Gabriel come out and make the save while Aries leaves through the crowd. They check on Malenko (who had helped the former tag team champions as a friend and mentor). Heenan tells them as they want to fight they will be in action later tonight. Heenan says he is a fair GM so Aries will be punished.

Backstage Intercontinental Champion Wade Barrett is with his girlfriend Women's Champion Layla discussing his movie Dead Man Down and how has been approached to play the lead over Jason Statham in Guy Ritchie's new film. Barrett says that although many actresses now are falling head over feet for him he mentions Jennifer Lawerence at the Oscars, Layla is the only one for him.

Stephanie goes to the GM office to speak with Heenan and asks if she could be his assistant as she is a useful asset to have, Heenan tells her he will think about it and she leaves.

First match up is one half of the current tag team champions Davey Richards against The Pope D'Angelo Dinero which Dinero wins with his legs on the ropes.

Shatner enters the GM office and tells Heenan that the owner asked him to stay around a few weeks to drum up publicity for the upcoming WrestleMayhem PPV and he starts humming the theme tune to Boston Legal and dancing. Heenan asks for someone to please beam him up.

Part II

Mr. Perfect who is the current LWE World Heavyweight Champion enters Heenan's GM office and tells Shatner to beat it, Shatner asks beat what and Perfect tells him to get out which he does. Heenan and Perfect hug and Perfect congraluates him on the GM role. Perefect says he dont have any opponent yet for the WrestleMayhem PPV and that there really isnt anyone on his level or worthy of a match with him on the roster as he has beaten everyone more than once so maybe he can the that night off and enjoy the show with Heenan in the VIP box. Heenan tells him that would be good but that he will be defending his title that night and that despite their relationship he cant play favourites. Drew McIntyre knocks and enters Heenan's office (Drew is dressed in a kilt) and he too congraluates Heenan on his new role and says that he thinks it is his time for a shot at the big one. He looks at Perfect and his title and says it would be a huge honour for him to challenge Mr. Perfect for the title who he greatly respects. He puts his hand out as a gesture to shake hands but Perfect turns and tells Heenan before he leaves the office to send this Piper wannabe back to Scotland. Heenan tells Drew he will have to proof himself and to start tonight with a match against Derrick Bateman which is up next. Drew picks up the win with a DDT.

Scott Hall sees Layla stretching backstage and approaches her and asks her on a date again. They flirt a little until Wade Barrett arrives and Layla leaves with him.

Next match up is one half of the current tag team champions Eddie Edwards against Austin Aries which ends in DQ as Malenko comes and chases after Aries through the crowd.

IC Wade Barrett beat Derrick Bateman who was distracted by Layla as ringside in an non title match.

Tonight's main event match is International Airstrike aka Tyson Kidd and Justin Gabriel against LWE WHC champion Mr. Perfect and Scott Hall. Drew McIntyre comes out to watch the match from the top of the ramp which distracts Perfect leading to a shock win for Kidd with a quick roll up pin. Hall and Perfect argue in the ring over their loss as the show ends.

Preview Post
First Show

Opening Promo wrote:

Promotion for the Tag Team Turmoil Match in 4 weeks time at Turmoil!, and a recap on the background and result of last week's main event in which Billy Graham captured the International Heavyweight Championship from Christopher Daniels.

Opening Credits – Special 8th Anniversary Edition Credits showing stills from all 8 previous Grandslam main events.

2 and a half Hour Special; Live from the TD Garden in Boston, Massachusetts - with 18,328 ICW fans in attendance.

The Announcers introduce the show - we are on the highway to Grandslam! In honour of his longevity as SuperFly champion, Taka Michinoku will not need to defend his championship at Turmoil! in 4 weeks time, but instead the final of an 8-man tournament to determine a #1 contender will take place inside a double steel cage*. The announcers also confirm the rumours that a major new talent will be debuting tonight, and that Michael Cole has commissioned a special main even match for tonight.

*Double Steel Cage is a structure unique to ICW: A standard steel cage is turned horizontally at an angle, so that it does not match the turnbuckles, and sits on top of another steel cage that is aligned to the turnbuckles and surrounds the ring. The gaps between the cage walls are filled in to prevent escape and make ledges. This is the signature match of the SuperFly division though it hasn’t been seen in a while.

Match 1: Billy Kidman v. Kris Logan (SuperFly 8-Man Tournament, Round 1)
Kris Logan's debut on ICW programming, and he works well with the senior Billy Kidman, entertaining the crowd. It isn't long before Kidman gets the better of him though, and the match is over after 4 minutes.

Billy Kidman wins by pinfall, progresses to semi-finals

Backstage
The League are having a summit in a private room backstage. Overseas Champion William Regal is chairing the meeting (with Christopher Daniels, Tajiri & Matt Sydal in attendance). Regal talks about how the League is in crisis, and needs to prove their loyalty to Chairman Cole if they're to return to their former glory of just one week ago. Daniels is sulking and the other two generally agreeing with Regal. Michael Cole enters the room and Daniels starts laughing as if he'd been deep in conversation. He invites Cole in to sit down and share some drinks from the bar, and starts telling him what a great job he's doing and that Daniels is looking forward to taking on Billy Graham whenever possible to become the "International Heavyweight Champion of the... (everyone in the room tries not to laugh as Daniels figures this out) ...Internationally!" Cole says he just came in to inform Daniels that he'll be in the main event tonight - a Number 1 Contender's Match to confirm Graham's opponent at Turmoil!, and also that Matt Sydal is up next in the SuperFly tournament. As he leaves, the look on Daniels' face darkens.

Match 2: Matt Sydal v. Some Jobber from West Newbury (SuperFly 8-Man Tournament, Round 1) A squash match in Sydal's favour, he finishes with a Shooting Star Press for the pin.

Michael Cole's Office
Cole has called Larry Zbyszko to his office. The Monday Night Championship sits on his desk. These two clearly don't like each other, though Zbyszko is trying to be nice with the rumour of a spare main event spot going tonight. Cole tells him he's just got off the phone with the council of commissioners and can confirm that a major new signing will debut tonight in the main event against Daniels. In fact, the only reason he invited Zbyszko to the office was to hand him a restraining order filed with a friendly judge here in Boston following last week's altercation on the ramp. Zbyszko is taken aback - literally - by officers of the Boston Police Department who enter the office to remove Zbyszko. As he's going Cole shouts down the corridor that him and Yokozuna have a match tonight. Just then we hear Cole's own music hitting from the arena. Cole picks up his title and heads out to the ring.

In-Ring
Before the match starts Cole tells us all that Zbyszko'a actions last week have convinced him of the need to re-assert his authority in the company, and therefore build up Monday Night Games so that it can compete with the other Monday Night promotions. As part of that build, new talent will take place in the #1 Contenders Match tonight and Michael Cole is proud to confirm that AJ Styles will take part in tonight’s main event.

Styles' music hits and he comes down to the ring soaking in the massive pop from the crowd. He signs a contract in the ring and then asks for the microphone – but is interrupted by Cole who tells him he will get an interview backstage later. Styles goes backstage perplexed. The crowd are annoyed too.

Cole then reveals that he’s big plan to re-assert himself includes defending the Monday Night Championship tonight against the next wrestler to enter the ring. ICW American Champion D'Lo Brown's music hits and the face announcer goes crazy - this is clearly a set-up! The bell rings...

Match 3: Michael Cole v. D'Lo Brown (Monday Night Championship)
The match is a complete farce, with Brown falling in feigned agony at punches and holds that Cole doesn't even land. Cole is loudly shouting out instructions to Brown, who is over-selling everything – kayfabe within kayfabe! Eventually Cole is about to put us out of our misery and go for the pin when Billy Graham comes running down the ramp and drags Brown out of the ring and strikes him to the ground. The ref rings the bell and the match ends in a no contest - despite Cole technically deserving to lose by DQ.

No Contest - Cole retains Championship

Post-Match
Graham enters the ring, his rosy sunglasses on, championship around his waist, and main event contract in a briefcase. He whips Cole through the ropes and out of the ring before calling for a microphone. Cole is incensed, but wise enough not to re-enter the ring. Graham addresses the crowd - apologising that they've paid good money to come watch 2 idiots pretend to fight in order to massage Michael Cole's ego. Graham says he looks forward to the maine event tonight and to fighting and defeating whoever wins that match at Turmoil!. Graham also warns Cole that his position wasn't given to him by the council of commissioners just so he could pretend to be a top wrestler, and that he Graham will not allow his own title to be diminished in importance by letting Cole flush the company down the toilet. Graham says that if Cole wants to find a face for the company look no further: for the first time in ICW history someone has a main event contract AND the heavyweight championship around their belt, and never in the history of any promotion as a superstar been able to elicit the cheers and the boos from sellout crowds like he can. Cole wisely exits with Brown, but if looks could kill Graham would need a closed casket ceremony.

Ad Break and promo for Turmoil! in 4 weeks time. Promo shows clips of ICW’s tag teams at their most harmonious and lovey.

Match 4: Samoan Swat Team v. The League (Regal and Tajiri)
The announcers promote the Tag-Team Turmoil match in 4 weeks time in which several tag-teams will battle it out for the International Tag-Team Championships.

Rikishi and Samu are dominating Tajiri as Regal looks on and on several occasions attempts to interfere. At one point Rikishi tagging in Samu is missed by the referee (who's attention is on Regal), and the confusion allows Regal to feign a tag to get into the match. The referee is again distracted - now by Samu's complaints - when Regal pulls out the knuckledusters and in one punch knocks Rikishi out cold and pins for the win. Rikishi is incensed and gives the typical angry stare from the ring as the victors head up the ramp.

The League (Regal & Tajiri) win by pinfall

Backstage Interview
Kaientai are interviewed, Taka saying he is prepared to face anyone at Grandslam but in particular thinks that Funaki deserves a shot at some success, which is met with an enthusiastic Indeed! from Funaki.

Match 5: Larry Zbyszko and Yokozuna v. 1-2-3 Sparks
1-2-3 Sparks come out first and tell the crowd that they will retain the championships at Turmoil! just like they will walk all over Zbyszko and “Yoko” tonight.
The match begins and eventually Zbyszko gives his team the upper hand with some mat wrestling before tagging in Yokozuna, who he then instructs from the ropes. Yokozuna is trying out his technical skills on poor X-Pac but is getting very confused and can’t seem to get the more complicated holds to stick – the crowd laugh as the huge wrestler attempts the moves of a much smaller technician. In the end X-Pac escapes and tags in Holly. After some initial jockeying for technical advantage, Yokozuna gives up and lifts Holly into the air, delivers a harsh body slam before sitting on him for the pin – only for the referee to call a rope break (Holly’s ankle is under the ropes). Yokozuna gives a disappointed Larry a shrug and tags him in.
As Larry gets in Cole’s music hits again, and Cole comes out surrounded by Boston Policemen. As Cole approaches the ring they order Zbyszko out and he leaves by the crowd behind the announcer’s table. The crowd are particularly angry at this ending.

The winners, by order of the Boston Police Department: 1-2-3 Sparks!

In-Ring
We come back from adverts to see Michael Cole and William Regal in the ring. William pledges the loyalty of the League to Cole and they shake hands to thunderous booing from the audience.
Cole then gets worked up talking about the injustices that have befallen him in his short-time as Chairman of the Council of Commissioners. Though he welcomes the League’s pledge of loyalty, he says he has also taken another step towards re-asserting his authority and making the Monday Night Games the hottest show in town. Cole has decided to strip Billy Graham of the International Heavyweight Championship for his actions earlier tonight and upgrade the main event tonight to a championship match!

Graham’s music hits and he appears on the ramp – but the dastardly Boston Police Department surround him and lead him away! One of them comes back to the ring with the Big Gold Belt in hand. The crowd are furious and Michael Cole has a demonic expression on his face.

Backstage Interview
Styles is being interviewed backstage. He says he is delighted to have signed a deal with ICW to appear on Monday Night Games, though he is a little surprised to be fighting for the championship so soon – not that he doesn’t deserve to, of course! He gives a rather damning account of Chris Daniels, who he has wrestled before, “Let’s just say I hear more about him than I see – and I always hear it from him.”

Pre-Match
Daniels’ music hits and he enters the arena for the main event. A lengthy promo ensues in which he bigs up his own talent and claims that this is the 2nd week of his domination of the company and he will mark that by becoming the International Heavyweight Champion, Internationally, again. He doesn’t consider himself to have lost the title anyway, given that Billy Graham never pinned him.

Main Event: Christopher Daniels v. AJ Styles
(International Heavyweight Championship)

This is exactly the match you’d expect from these two: athletic, technical, highly competitive - and sometimes Daniels is just making fun of AJ. The action is mostly in the ring though Daniels does moonsault onto Styles and through the announcer's table - almost causing a double count-out in the process. Both use a rope break to get out of the others' signature submission move (in AJ's case the reverse STF), and both manage to power out of it as well. Add to this a lot of high flying moves and hard hitting holds and its a pretty intense matchup from these two. Twenty minutes in and several near falls/signature moves later, Daniels lands the Angel Wings and goes for the pin once again, only for the lights to go out...

He’s got the championship belt! Daniels and Styles are flat out in the middle of the ring, with a bloodied steel chair lying beside them. The scene is one of carnage! What the hell is going on??
Graham puts the belt around his waist once more and picks up another steel chair before walking up the ramp...

D’Lo Brown comes running out... WHACK... he’s down.
William Regal comes running out, dodges the chair once, but WHACK... not twice, he’s down too!
Michael Cole and some police come out next and Graham ditches the chair and jumps into the crowd, exiting the show with the title belt! The crowd are split down the middle on this, with chants of “Let’s Go Graham, Graham Sucks!” breaking out. The show closes in anarchy!

ShagNastii

LuchaVaVoom BeatTV1.1 Live from The Cow Palace Indoor arena, in Daly City, California





The show starts with a promo recapping the previous weeks T.F.I.F.F show on MTV, where the Legendary Stan Hansen went on a scaving tirade against the current “ills” he sees about the wrestling world today and especially the 2VL world heavyweight champion TAFKA Goldust. During the rant, the rugged Texan went on to call his adversary in the company an embarrassment to pro wrestling and a cancer that will be the death of a once great art. The promo’s vitriol is amplified as Hansen lists off the characteristics Goldust lacks to make a modern day great. With every word, we get pictures and clips of TAFKA Goldust which hit home like a dagger in the chest.

“You lack Respect!!!” ~Goldust passed out in a strip club with the title resting on his shoulder~
“ You lack Class!!!” ~Goldust spiting in an opponent’s face~
“You lack Credibility!!!” ~Goldust conducting a chat-show interview dressed as a baby~
“You lack Heart!!!”~Goldust refusing to defend his title and sending Luna to fight his match~
“You lack any regard for your working professionals!!!” Goldust striking foes with his Brass Knucks
“YOU LACK A MAN WHO ISN’T AFRAID TO ENTER CIRCUS OF VIOLENCE AND DEBAUCHRY. NO LONGER BOY NO NO LONGER. I’M GOING TO WIN BACK THE TITLE WHICH MEANT SO MUCH TO SO MANY AND IN THE PROCESS I WILL DESTROY YOU AND YOUR LUNICY YOU HAVEBROUGHT HERE TO 2VL”~Footage of Stan Hansen Kicking some serious ass~

The clips continue, chronicling the past the duo share. It recalls the history of Goldust’s most recent feud with Hansen’s closest friend Bruiser Brody which ended in controversial circumstances. A feud riddled with minds games and dirty tactics from the Fabulous Mass. One which ended with Brody having to leave to company to a chorus of jeers and laughs from TAFKA Goldust. Hansen aggressively explained the heartbreak, grief and utter humiliation he felt that moment caused. A difficult time fuelled by TAFKA Goldust’s obnoxious actions and void of remorse. The Promos continues and shows that Hansen is correct and is next in line for a title shot. An opportunity he will no doubt savor. In the closing moments of our opening promo we see more footage from same T.F.I.F.F show earlier in the week. Stan Hansen, with foaming mouth and gritted teeth, holds up a Texas which reads “Texas’ Shame, Pro Wrestling’s Shame and a Rhodes family shame.

We cut to the live arena. The commentators run down what is in store for this weeks show and rundown the aftermath of the latest PPV Brawl at the Alamo. They comment on the continued downfall of John Laurinaitis and his wrestling fraternity “The University”. We see footage of Mr Laurinaitis smashing up his executive dressing road at the PPV as he sees his right hand man Shane Douglas being “schooled” by Kerry Von Erich as he wins the US Heavywight Title. The final title that The University held in 2VL wrestling going, to Laurinaitis’ dismay. As the clip finishes the commentary team inform the viewers with excitement and joy that tonight is the night The British Bulldogs, Davy Boy Smith and The Dynamite Kid, debut in 2VL. The Bulldogs will be taking part in a tag team with fan-favourites David and Kevin Von Erich. With that done we cut backstage to see Laurinaitis addressing his troops Chris Nowinski and David Otunga. He is flustered and seems to be quite stressed. Clearly John is not oblivious to the terrible spell his brood are going through.

Laurinaitis: “Chris, I have spoken to the powers that be, and I’ve got you a match with Kerry Von Erich. This will be a title match. You saw as clearly as I did Shane’s abysmal display in losing the title. I need you to do the job. We need to retain some gold hear in 2VL. Our union is becoming a joke. Men with such intelligence and skill shouldn’t be allowing a pack of dumb hicks get the better of us. As I said you guys have the smarts and the skills. How hard can it be? I want that belt off Von Erich. I want that belt back in the fraternity. Get. The. Job. Done.” He adjusts his tie and walks off".

The "Ten Thousand Men of Harvard" rings from the speakers as a surpisingly cock-sure pair of Nowinski and Otunga walk to ring. Otunga beckons to the corner and has a word in his ear. The lawyer sharing his proposed tactics and knowledge on how to fight Von Erich. The Harvard graduates part with a gentlemanly handshake and Otunga takes his place at ringside as Nowinski stares at the ramp whilst doing some stretches. Kerry’s music hits and the crowd go bananas for their new US Champion. The Texas Tornado storms to the ring and gets jumped by Nowinski as he enters the squared circle.

Match 1

Kerry Von Erich(Us Champ) Vs Christoper Nowinski w/David Otunga

The match starts with Nowinski getting the upper hand as Otunga applauses outside. A cheap thumb to the eye and low blow gains Nowinski an even better position. Nowinski stalks a bewildered Von Erich and hits chop-block after chop block. He wisely listens to Otunga’s calls to work the legs. He hits a large knee-breaker on Kerry. The cameras cut backstage to a quite impressed John Laurinaitis stroking his chin. Nowinski drops a powerful elbow precisely to the knee of the fallen Kerry. He nips-up and points to his blonde cranium making sure the crowd see how smart he is focusing on the knee. The tall letterman enjoying his performance begins to showboat. He strikes Von Erich with a clothesline and locks on a figure four. The crowd start chants of “KERRY, KERRY, KERRY”. Urged on by the fan Von Erich turns over the figure four and locks in a sharpshooter. Nowinski screams in pain as he edges towards to ropes. But he is too far away. Seeing this Otunga abruptly grabs his friend hand and pulls him to the ropes. The ref warns Otunga of his rule-breaking antics. Nowinski pushes Von Erich out. Otunga beats on Kerry as Nowinski distracts the ref. He rolls Tornado inside and chokes him on the second rope. As Kerry hangs on the rope Otunga takes a large slurp of coffee. As he goes to spit it at Kerry the Texan ducks the coffee hits the returning Nowinski in the face. He loudly screams again, as he holds his eyes. Von Erich rolls him up for the 1..2..3.

Winner: Kerry Von Erich.

The University members argue in the ring as the victorious Kerry limps up the ramp and shows off his gold to the stooges left in the ring. Cut to backstage where Laurinaitis is seen pulling his hair out.


We now go to a promo with Honky Tonk Man and Greg Valentine as they tour the country in their laughably decorated red, white and blue star and stripes car. The cherry on top is the disgustingly big eagle emblazoned on the front. We see the tag champs driving from town to town as if on a presidential campaign. Windows down, wind in hair, ray bans on looking uber “cool”. Honky Tonk throws a thumbs up to the camera reminiscent of David Brent. Greg Valentine poses uncomfortably with a baby that he almost drops as he hands it to Honky Tonk. Valentine with a hilarious cooking apron places a nice warm apple pie in front of the delighted Honky Tonk. Footage of the boys being overrun with grannies looking a kiss as they enter an arena. Beatle mania has nothing on these guys. These really are true Americans. Someone the fans can all be proud of. Honky shoots a target with a bow and arrow turning to wink at the camera. He fires again and misses the target hitting a young passerby in the buttocks. He instantly drops the bow and runs. Finally the promo continues with Honky returning to his roots playing the guitar with Valentine to a bunch of boy scouts. One kid has hands held over his ears. More than a few bum notes being played. Again, the car passes the camera as we see the caption.

***Tag Champs to Be Proud Of***


Produced by Honky Tonk Man and Greg Valentine II






In the ring we are blessed with the presence of 2VL’s newest members, The Queens finest…The British Bulldogs. Davy Boy grabs a microphone and tells the crowd how much he cringes when he thinks of the current 2VL tag champs. As he explains the sour taste such personalities leave in his mouth Dynamite nods in agreement.



Davy Boy Smith: “These guys are doing their tour of the states. America’s number one sons? You shouldn’t be proud of them and they shouldn’t be proud of you. We’ve been here long enough to know what American truly is. It is a culture-less vat of overweight obnoxious idiots. *Putting on an ‘merican accent* And the $2 Elvis tribute act cousin Honky Tonk and the blonde tub of goo Valentine are the embodiment of you and your stupid country. We embody our nation Great Britain. GREAT Britain. We are the greatest tag team of all time. Dynamite is the purist technician of the game to ever lace boots and with over forty years’ experience yours truly is a wrestling machine of muscle and power. If you hicks need to find a team to be proud of look past the cartoons that HTN and Valentine and follow The British Bulldogs. The best of the best in tag team wrestling. Call the fat lady, tell her she is on in five. Give us our first victims”

Match 2


The British Bulldogs Vs David and Kevin Von Erich

The two team face off with Davy and David going at it first. Von Erich shows he is more than capable of keeping up with the self-proclaimed technical powerhouse. Smith gets the upper hand and conducts some beautiful double team moves with his partner Dynamite. Dynamite corners the weakened David and strikes him with a plethora of vicious knife hand strikes. The red chested david falls to the grown as Dynamite kicks him in the head. Easeing off on the attack Dynamite orders David to tag in his brother Kevin. The kid cracks his knuckles and neck as Kevin enters. He delivers and Irish whip to Kevin and follows him to the ropes with a knee to the gut. Capitalising on his attacks he hits a snap suplex on Von Erich. He tags in his partner Davy who jits the running powerslam and instantly re tags Dynamite who flies from the top rope with a piercing diving headbutt to Kevins crown. As Davy runs to stop David as Dynamite hooks the leg from the pin fall victory.

Winners: The British Bulldogs

Match 3: Brutus “The Barber”Beefcake Vs Shane Douglas


Next up we have Brutus “The Barber” Beefcake against The Dean Shane Douglas. Much like our opening contest we see John Laurinaitis reading Douglas the riot act in the gorilla position to “Get.The.Job.Done”. Brutus comes out to a huge pop cuttin’ and a struttin’. As he stand in the ring flexing his sheers for all the audience, Douglas’ music signifies his imminent arrival. Douglas comes through the certain and looks focused. He immediately takes the fight to Beefcake. Beefcake quickly whips Douglas into the corner and whollops The Deans head into the turnbuckle allowing the crowd to count to 10. Douglas stumbles across the ring and Beefcake comically stamps on Shane’s fingers following it up with an elbow right between the eyes. The Dean rolls out of the ring in an effort to compose himself. He snaps at a number of fans that are berating him at ringside. Brutus runs towards the apron with a baseball slide aimd at Shane. Douglas side steps and grabs Beefcake smashing his back into the barricade. As the ref shouts towards 10 he grabs Beefcake and smacks his head against the steel steps. Dragging him into the ring he drops Brutus with a perfect DDT. Ordering the crowd to “Shut up” he climbs the turnbuckle and signals for a double axehandle. Brutus rises and the jumping Dean is greeted with a knee and a reverse atomic drop. Holding his balls, Douglas is then caught with a sleeper dead centre of the ring. Douglas falls after a few minutes and the ref drops the arm one….two….three.

Winner: Brutus “The Barber” Beefcake.

After the match the Barber grabs his tools and goes to snip Douglas’ hair. Otunga instantly runs to the ring and from the apron warns Beefcake not to do it. His warnings seem to fall on deaf ears as Beefcake continues to tease the shaving. Otunga again yells for Beefcake “You don’t want to do that Brutus”. Otunga has no sooner finished his sentence then with a shrug of his shoudlers begins to shave a large patch of hair on the sleepy Douglas. Otunga leaps into the ring as Brutus rolls to the outside laughing at the big chunk of hair he has shaved out of Douglas’ head.



As we return we are greeted by the University members walking towards John Laurinaitis’ office. Nowinski pads his coffeed face as Douglas taps his head looking for the bald patch Brutus has just left him. As Otunga opens the doors theyare greeted by a bull-like Laurinaitis. He grabs Mr Jennifer Hudson by the bow tie and it is him he goes looking for answers.

John Laurinaitis: “WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT? All you had to do was beat Kerry Von Erich. But you two fools couldn’t organise a piss-up in a brewery. ~Nowinski tries to pipe up with a few excuses but is cut off~ But…….But…..But…But nothing you sell yourselves as men of honor. There is no honor bringing our once dominant stable into the gutter. You see This?(He points towards the new TV title) I was given this by management to give to a deserving roster member. You have been a laughing stock. Soo I want you to find me someone that can beat Von Erich. You do that and I’ll give you this TV title. The Man in the Moon? Micky Mouse? I don’t care. Put you Harvard heads together and bring me someone that can save this sinking ship. (He then looks at Douglas) You are one of my dearest friends. Get your sh*t together. Now get out". (He points to the door)

The trio leave and as they leave the office bump into Vampiro. He just stops and stares at Shane Douglas and begins to laugh creepily. Douglas slaps him and asks him “What are you looking at you freak? Get out of my way”. Vampiro holds his jaw as the University make their way.

Match 4: Stan Hansen Vs Vampiro




Vampiro makes his way down to the ring holding his jaw. He looks angry. His opponent looks equally angry as he storms towards the ring. The pair face off and share an old-school handshake highlighting the tradition in the company. A tradition which he believes is being eradicated by TAFKA Goldust. As the match kicks off Goldust’s music blares form the PA system. The fabulous Mess and his gruesome valet Luna make their way to ringside. Both dress in ludicrous outfits. Waltzing to the ring he stumbles in his five inch high heels. Hansen leans through the ropes shouting at Goldust. The Bizarre one replies to the abuse by simply blowing kisses at the Cowboy. He grabs the mike and proclaims he will be conducting commentary. He joins the booth and orders Luna to “help” his best friend Stan. As the match picks up Goldust talks about the reasons him and Luna were late. Crudely making many sexual innuendos. In the ring Vampiro delievers and impressive hip toss to Hansen landing him near the ropes. Luna takes this opportunity to rake Hansen’s eyes. Hansen is infuriated by this and chases Luna as Goldust “Woops and Hollers” on commentary with the excitement. Stopping at the booth Hansen grabs TAFKA Goldust by the neck. Goldust quickly strikes Hansen with one of the monitors Bloodying the legendary grapple. Unfazed by the blood Hansen nearly cut Goldust in two with a Lariat. Goldust shocked by the retort grabs Luna and heads to the entrance way with his tail between his legs. The ill tempered Hansen, having been pushed over the edge makes little work of Vampiro. He hits to devastating Lariats to the ghoul. Leaning his knee on Vampiro’s face to get the pin he points at TAFKA Goldust as the credits roll.

“Welcome to the first episode of CCW the fate of this wrestling foundation had been up in the air for a while there but we got there in the end. When i acquired this group of wrestlers I knew I had a special group that could rival any promotion but I came clean from the outset with these superstars and with the fact we were short on cash so at the moment we have a benefactor talking to lawyers to sort out our difficulties so. Now that has been cleared let me officially start CCW “

Donald Trump and JBL walk to the ring together

ROSTER


WTF Heavyweight Champion
Kurt Angle
The current WTF Heavyweight Champion having won the belt off Bret Hart, 8 months previous. Angle is looking unstoppable in WTF, dispossessing whoever gets in his way. Undefeated in close to a year, Angle has gradually become more and more arrogant in each of his victories showing disrespect to anyone who crosses him, much to the dismay of the fans who once loved him.

Bret Hart
Having dropped the belt to Angle, Bret Hart has yet to evoke his rematch clause due to a serious injury suffered only days after losing the title. The much loved Canadian is set to make his long awaited comeback in the first of WTF's TV show, Monday Night Mayhem.

Owen Hart
Since the injury to his brother Bret, Owen Hart has come into his own over the last few months. The once promising starlet is finally beginning to show his potential as he makes the move from midcard wrestler to the main event. Having recently won a Number 1 Contender's match for the WTF Heavyweight Championship, Owen is looking to take on Kurt Angle at the next PPV.

Batista
Over the last few months Batista has changed. Some might say for the worse, while others argue that they've never seen this side to the former WTF Heavyweight Champion. Before Batista was full of respect for his peers, now it seems that Batista is tired of showing respect and rather wants to respect to be shown to him.

Vader
Having recently lost the chance to become the Number 1 Contender, Vader is back to the drawing board once again. The veteran wrestler is mulling his future over. Stay, or go back to Japan.

Bob Backlund
Backlund has just finished up a feud with Kurt Angle, were he came within inches of reclaiming gold once again. Backlund is a living legend in WTF, and a true fans favourite. However time is not on his side, with some saying his matches against Angle will be the last time he ever gets a shot at becoming Champion once again. The end may very well be in sight for Bob Backlund.

Intercontinental Champion
Jack Brisco
Brisco is the current Intercontinental Champion having been awarded the belt by current General Manager, Jonathan Coachman, in recognition to the work and dedication Brisco has done for this company, or more importantly the ass kissing he has done for the GM. Brisco has proved age is only a number, as he winds back the clock as one the best technical wrestlers in the world.

Randy "The Ram" Robinson
Health concerns have plagued the career of "The Ram" for several years now, but that hasn't stopped Robinson's love for the business. A megastar in the 80's, Robinson still hasn't given up hope of once again reaching those heights.

The Ayatollah
Hailing from Iran, The Ayatollah is probably the most hated man in all of WTF. Although not seen as powerful and athletic as he once was The Ayatollah is still as dangerous and manipulative as he always was.

Hardcore Champion
Bam Bam Bigelow
The much loved, Bam Bam Bigelow continues to dominate the Hardcore Division. Bigelow is not only a hardcore legend in WTF, but remains as one of the most incredibly talented big-men in wrestling today.

Takeshi Morishima
A recent arrival in WTF. Vignette have been playing, counting down to the debut of Morishima. It remains to be seen who will be the first target of the Japanese big man.

Cruiserweight Champion
Ultimo Dragon
The well travelled Cruiserweight Champion continues to entertain WTF fans week in, week out, with his high flying, tantalizing arsenal of moves. Ultimo Dragon is capable of transforming the quietest crowd, onto on their feet, captivated by the art which is The Ultimo Dragon.

Carlito
The cocky Puerto-Rican is a new addition to WTF's ranks. Yet in his short time here Carlito has been extremely impressive, and has shown his desire to win at all costs.

World Tag Team Champions
The Midnight Express (Bobby Eaton & Stan Lane)
The exciting duo of Eaton and Lane has lit up the tag division is recent months. The high-flying, fast paced tag team are considered by some as one of the greatest Tag Team's of all time.

Strike Force (Tito Santana & Rick Martel)
Eyebrows were raised when Tito Santana decided to partner up with Rick Martel. Santana was such a well loved and respected wrestler of WTF, while Martel was arrogant and as vain as they come. However there was no doubting the ability of these two men as they have risen to the top of the tag division with only The Midnight Express standing in their way.

General Manager
Jonathan Coachman
Known by most as just "Coach", Jonathan Coachman has worked his way up from interviewer to commentator to General Manager in WTF. Coachman is known as an ass kissing yes man. Thankfully Coachman keeps firmly in the safety of his office at nearly all times, and he's not one of those GM's who take up too much of the spotlight.

Spongey1975

It’s been a turbulent 6 months for Spongey Wrestling Entertainment. In the aftermath of Spongemania II after Wade Barrett won the SWE Heavyweight Championship, the passionate SWE fans caused a riot in the Spongezone and dismantled every seat in the arena along with the ring and all were left beyond repair. The repurcussions of these actions were felt for a long time afterwards. As a result of the arena being destroyed there was no shows put on. With no shows on there was no income from the television company and no income from ticket sales. With no income Mr Spongey, the owner of the SWE, was unable to pay its wrestling superstars. All of the 2012 roster, through legal action, voided their contracts with the SWE and were deemed free to sign with whatever wrestling promotion they wanted to. This has left the SWE with no arena and no wrestlers and indeed an uncertain future.

Despite these turbulent times Mr Spongey remains a passionate supporter of wrestling entertainment and remains convinced he can create a product to bring the fans and television audience back to the SWE. To this end Mr Spongey sought out a wealthy investor to help him get the hugely popular promotion back on its feet. In came US millionaire Ted Dibiase. His promises of sufficient investment to get the arena back up to shape and to attract some major wrestling superstars did come with demands of his own. Mr Spongey also appointed Jim Cornette as his General Manager to look after the day to day operations of the SWE.

Mr Spongey has added a roster full of top level talent, a roster that he is sure will thrill the SWE audience. The SWE has its roster in place to go ahead with its weekly TV shows that will culminate in the grand showpiece itself Spongemania III. There will be a full review of the action from these TV shows later but now we are proud to reveal the full card for Spongemania III

Segment 1



Kurt Angle opens the show walking to the ring with the WTF Heavyweight Championship. [The story behind Angle is that his heel turn is well in full flow, and Angle has just come off the back of defending the title against Bob Backlund at the previous PPV. I was thinking of doing the build up to an actual match between Angle and Backlund but I went this way instead.] Angle grabs the mic and goes on to talk about his 30 minute classic with Backlund at the PPV just gone. Angle salutes Backlund but in true heelish fashion ends with Backlund being no match for him. Angle talks about tonight being the return of Bret Hart and being aware that Bret hasn't cashed in his rematch clause before his injury. [Once again the backstory here being that Angle beat Bret Hart for the title 8 months ago, and Hart then suffered a long term injury just days after dropping the title]. Angle also mentions Bret's brother Owen, and how he won a match at the previous PPV to become the number 1 contender for the World title. Angle ends with he doesn't care who he takes on at the next PPV, Wrasslemania, it's for the Hart brothers to decide.

Segment Length: 15 minutes

*The commentators reiterate what Kurt Angle just said as we go to commercial*

Segment 2



Batista V Ultimo Dragon
Recently turned heel, Batista comes down to the ring first to boo's from the crowd. [Batista is in the midst of being repackaged as a destructive heel who's trying to gain as much momentum as possible before a potential title shot down the line.] The commentators are quick to stress that this new look Batista is in the best form he's ever been in, in his career. The Cruiserweight Champion, Ultimo Dragon is out next to the usual cheers from the crowd. This is basically a squash match with the Ultimo Dragon not been given much offense. Batista hits all his signature moves and quickly pins the Ultimo Dragon. Batista comes out of the match continuing to build momentum, while the Ultimo Dragon doesn't lose much as he was not expected to win in the first place.
Winner: Batista via. Pinfall
Segment Length: 7 minutes

Owen goes onto saying how his whole life has been leading up to this moment and he can't wait to take on Kurt Angle at Wrasslemania. Owen says he is glad his brother is back and will welcome him back with open arms. But like anyone else wanting to become WTF Heavyweight Champion, Bret will just have to get in line.

Segment 4



Stan Lane w/ Bobby Eaton V Takeshi Morishima
The World Tag Team Champions The Midnight Express come out first. Before the arrival of Takeshi Morishima. The commentators are quick to point out how big Morishima is, and mention his achievements in Japan. A quick back and forward match with lots of reversals as Morishima shows just how quick and athletic he is. Eventually the momentum shifts towards Morishima and he begins to dominate Lane. Lane goes for a top rope move but Morishima catches him and hits him with an Amaza Impact for the 3 count. Afterwards Eaton goes to check on his partner while Morishima goes to get a chair before re-entering the ring and hitting both members of the Midnight Express with it. the bell rings several times and after several chair shots Morishma stops, poses and leaves the ring.
Segment Length: 11 minutes

*Randy "The Ram" Robinson is seen backstage walking to the ring as the commentators plug his big announcement being next. Commercial*

Segment 5



Randy Robinson comes out to the ring and takes a microphone. Robinson says the best part of being a professional wrestler is coming out to this (points to crowd) every week. Robinson says the last few months have been like a roller-coaster for him. Robinson says earlier this year he suffered a heart attack which made him realise what's really important to him in life. Robinson says since then he has gotten in touch with his estranged daughter and things are finally looking up for their relationship. However he's been told by his doctor that he needs to quit wrestling for the good of his health and that is why effective of immediately he is retiring from professional wrestling. Robinson thanks the fans for everything before putting down the mic to the astonishment of the crowd.
Segment Length: 9 minutes

Segment 6



Vader V Owen Hart
[A rematch from the previous night's PPV were Owen Hart became the Number 1 Contender for the WTF Heavyweight Championship.] Like last night Vader uses his strength to control the beginning of the match before Owen hits back with a fury of dropkicks to the knee of Vader to send him to the floor. The middle to the match is a course of reversals by both men with the ending being several near falls before Vader misses the Vader Bomb and Hart once again manages to lock in the Sharpshooter and Vader eventually submits. After the match both men shake hands before leaving the ring.
Segment Length: 21 minutes

*The return of Bret Hart is next as we go to out final commercial break*

Segment 7



[The commentators go over the history of Bret Hart stating that Hart lost the title to Kurt Angle 8 months ago before suffering a serious knee injury] Bret Hart comes out to massive cheers from the crowd and enters the ring. Bret takes the mic and thanks the fans for their support. Bret states the knee injury he suffered came close to ending his career but he battled back because this is where he belongs. Bret goes on to say how proud he is of his brother Owen over the last 8 months and says that the boy is finally becoming a man. Bret says that Owen has flourished as a wrestler and he had tears in his eyes last night as Owen became the number 1 contender to take on Kurt Angle at Wrasslemania. Bret says a part of being a big brother is knowing when to protect your brother and says that Owen is not quite ready yet for Angle. Bret says instead he will evoke his rematch clause and he will take on Kurt Angle for the WTF Heavyweight Championship at Wrasslemania in order to protect his little brother. Bret leaves the ring as the crowd boo.

Opening Promo
Recap on last week’s show: Graham interrupting Cole’s match and throwing him out of the ring. Cole stripping Graham of the title. Highlights from the main event between Styles and Daniels. Graham interrupting main event and escaping with the championship belt.

Opening Credits

Live from the Halifax Metro Centre in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada – with 11’429 ICW fans in attendance.

Michael Cole is in the Ring: D’Lo Brown, Hardcore Holly, X Pac and all four members of The League stand guard around the ring. The announcers confirm that Graham is in the building. Michael Cole looks sullen. “May I have your attention please...”, Cole has three announcements. Again, he is wearing the Monday Night Championship (imagine it, I'm not drawing one)

Firstly, following a meeting of the Championship Council, Cole has been mandated by a vote of that council to reinstate Billy Graham as International Heavyweight Champion, and to retrospectively nullify the decision to strip him of the championship. Thus Graham is reinstated and will not be disciplined for his actions last week. Christopher Daniels slides into the ring and starts yelling at Cole at the sound of this, only for Regal to come in and hold him back to let Cole give his 2nd announcement. Secondly, to decide a #1 Contender for Graham’s championship at Turmoil (in just 3 weeks time), there will be a Battle Royale open to all next week in Le Centre Bell, Montreal. Thirdly, Coles says the stress of the last 7 days means he isn't fit to compete so he won't be defending the Monday Night Championship this week. Daniels follows as Cole makes his way up the ramp accompanied by Tajiri and Matt Sydal, venting his anger while a tired looking Cole doesn’t react at all.

Larry Zbyszko’s music hits
Cole & co. are still on the ramp as Zbyszko, Yokozuna, Rikishi and Samu pass without comment (but plenty of eyeballing each way) towards the ring. Regal, Holly, X Pac and Brown enter the ring as well and square up to them. Zbyszko has a microphone in his hand. “I love Canada. [cheers] Do you know why I love Canada? There are lots of reasons to love Canada, but no.1 is that Michael Cole’s rent-a-court restraining order doesn’t apply in this jurisdiction. Michael Cole has screwed me two weeks in a row now, and you [X Pac], you [Holly] and especially you [D’Lo Brown] have been willing accomplices. It is no coincidence that all four of these ass kissers have championship belts around their waists...” Zbyszko continues, insulting Cole often, and eventually challenges D’Lo Brown to a match at Turmoil for the American Championship.
Rikishi then takes the mic., and we can see a large bruise on his face where Regal hit him with the brass knuckles last week. Rikishi questions Regal’s ability to win a match cleanly, and likewise challenges him to a match at Turmoil! for the ICW Overseas Championship. D’Lo Brown accepts the challenge from Zbyszko, frustrated as he is that Zbyszko thinks he can insult Mr. Cole in that way and get away with it. Regal meanwhile is more devious, telling Rikishi that he’ll face him at Turmoil! IF Rikishi can defeat his own uncle, Yokozuna, tonight. As Rikishi turns his back to talk with Yokozuna, Regal reaches for the brass knuckles again and a general brawl ensues.

Ad Break & Promo for Grandslam PPV In 8 weeks time.

Match 1: Tajiri v. Kris Logan (8-Man SuperFly Tournament, Round 1)
The Announcers inform us that Kris Logan, recently promoted from ICW’s developmental territory, has been given another shot in this tournament after losing his debut match to Billy Kidman. Logan puts on a better display this week and the two are landing fast and furious moves on each other. Logan looks to have the match, but Tajiri fights back from the brink to get the win off the back of a Bridging Dragon Suplex. A decent 8-minute opener.

Tajiri wins by pinfall and progresses to Semi-Finals.

Chris Daniels enters the ring
A quick rant from Daniels, who is really pissed off that he isn’t even the automatic #1 contender anymore. He manically outlines a conspiracy in which AJ Styles came to ICW just to thwart him because of their past. He claims that three times now he’s been screwed out of his rightful championship: twice on Monday Night Games and now by the Championship Council as well. In his fury he challenges AJ Styles and Billy Graham to a match tonight. As the crowd boos he tells them to hush. Nova Scotia doesn't even matter to the rest of Canada, never mind the rest of the world, so why should he listen to their crap? Major heat.

Shoichi Funaki v. X-Pac (w/ Hardcore Holly) (8-Man SuperFly Tournament, Round 1)
As the match opens, announcers inform us that there will be a champion v. champion match later tonight between D’Lo Brown and Taka Michinoku. X-Pac immediately begins to dominate the match, with Funaki missing his manoeuvres and constantly being end on the end of X-Pac’s fast-paced athletic attack. After some minutes, X-Pac goes for the pin off a Senton Bomb but Funaki kicks out. From here on Funaki starts reversing more moves and the match appears to be pretty even-handed. Holly gets sent to the back after attempting to interfere too often. X Pac sets up for the X-Factor but Funaki slides underneath and hits him with a bulldog before climbing the turnbuckle and hitting a diving crossbody for the pin. X Pac kicks out and whips Funaki to set up the X Factor once again but once again Funaki dodges, this time to lock in the Shawn Capture to which X Pac submits! Funaki is ecstatic! A rare win for him sees him through to the semi-final to face Tajiri next week. X-Pac can’t believe what just happened and neither can the announcers.

Shoichi Funaki wins via submission

Billy Graham’s Music Hits
Graham is looking happier than ever and takes his time getting into the ring, flexing for the crowd and acknowledging their support. Some are booing, however, but that doesn’t seem to bother him. He eventually gets on the microphone and says how happy he is to be in Nova Scotia, to hear all the people a-cheerin and all the people a-booin for the International Heavyweight Champion. No one can take it from him except in this ring, he says. He apologises for what he had to do last week but says that he still had to do it. He might not be Heavyweight Champion now if he didn’t. To AJ Styles he says he’s sorry. To Christopher Daniels he says he’s sorry... sort of... he doesn’t like Daniels all that much anyway. The people he won’t apologise to are D’Lo Brown and William Regal, the brown-nosers, ass-kissers and suck-ups of the industry. When he hit them with the chair last week it felt like... liberation, heck, vengeance for all the two-bit promoters out there in the wrestling world who don’t do nothing for nobody unless they kiss their ass. And the worst of these is the chairman of the ICC and head honcho here in ICW... Michael Cole (his voice gets more serious as he says this).

Graham says that he knew about the votes at the ICC before Cole read them out here tonight, and goes on to tell us that even though they stuck to the rules and reinstated him, he knows that the Council all agreed that he is an “unsuitable” champion and that a worthy opponent should be found as soon as possible. Graham goes on to make fun of the battle royale announced for next week, and in the process talks other Monday Night promotions down for using them. Graham then says he won’t bring the prestige of the championship down by defending it against someone who knows how to win a battle royale and not much else. Graham says that the company needs to identify a #1 contender through wrestling ability, not by running a lottery. He says most of the roster isn’t ready. He challenges Michael Cole to find him a real opponent. As we go to adverts marginally more boos can be heard than before. Graham’s comments were certainly controversial, the announcers agree.

Ad Break: Monday Night Games is brought to you by Anglo-Irish Bank. Chokeslamming an entire nation for 20 years.

Backstage
Kris Logan being interviewed after his 2nd defeat in a row on Monday Night Games. Logan is insulted by Graham’s claims about the roster and says he’s on his way right now to register for the Battle Royale. The interviewer is almost laughing.

Match 3 – Champion vs. Champion: D’Lo Brown v. Taka Michinoku

Before the match starts, the announcers tell us that the main event tonight will be a tag-team match between Billy Graham & AJ Styles and Christopher Daniels & William Regal.

Michinoku leads first as his speed is clearly too much for Brown. Eventually Brown makes a reversal and lands a nasty looking Press Style Ace Crusher on Michinoku and turning the tide a little. Eventually it becomes clear that Brown’s powerful offence will win the match for him unless Taka can break it and return to his faster, more athletic style. Sadly for Taka it isn’t to be as Brown pins off the back of a Sky High to win the match after 9 minutes. He taunts the audience with his championship to celebrate the victory.

D’Lo Brown wins via pinfall

Vignette
The Darkness will Rise.
The Chill, that aches your bones, and haunts your dreams, will Spread.
The Plague that has struck a score of souls will Strike again, upon some new...

Backstage
Hardcore Holly is berating X-Pac for managing to lose to Funaki as they walk to Michael Cole’s office to register for the Battle Royale next week. X-Pac says they can help each-other if they both enter, whereas Holly is firmly of the opinion that X-Pac can help him, and be happy to do it. They get near Cole’s office only to find a crowd of superstars trying to get in. The camera goes through them to the office, where Christopher Daniels is demanding that AJ Styles not be allowed to compete, or anyone else for that matter, he is the rightful champion, never mind contender. Michael Cole has his head in his hands as a general argument breaks out, with lots of people complaining about Billy Graham’s comments. The camera cuts back to the ring as Rikishi’s music hits.

Match 4: Rikishi (w/ Samu) v. Yokozuna (w/ Larry Zbyszko)

If Rikishi wins here he gets to challenge William Regal for the Overseas Championship at Turmoil!. The uncle and nephew bump fists in the middle of the ring and move back to their corners. The heel announcer contemplates how long it will take for the ring to collapse. Zbyszko and Samu sit at the commentary table.
It’s one of those matches where you can tell both wrestlers have trained with each other many a time before. Yokozuna spends most of the match on the end of the attacks by the more athletic Rikishi, and blocking or reversing many of them. Eventually, Rikishi rolls out of a Banzai Drop before attempting his own – which Yokozuna incredibly powers out of, almost pinning Rikishi in a roll-up. The match ends with an incredible belly-to-belly suplex by Rikishi, who is barely able to lift Yokozuna off the ground for it, but which is enough for him to get the three-count. He helps Yokozuna up afterwards and they hug. William Regal appears on the ramp, scowling.

Rikishi wins via pinfall and will face William Regal at Turmoil! for the ICW Overseas Championship.

Backstage Interview
Another interview with Kaientai. The interviewer remarks how unusual it is for Taka to lose and Funaki to win in the same night. Taka doesn’t take it well.

Michael Cole is in the Ring AGAIN!
“Can I have your attention please... Due to the controversy surrounding the #1 Contender’s Match next week, I have decided to cancel that match. Instead, the Tag-Team Turmoil Match in 3 weeks time will be used to find a #1 contender. The Tag-Team Champions, following that match, will choose between themselves, which shall challenge Billy Graham for the International Championship at Grandslam!”

The announcers and the crowd are stunned. Does this mean there will be no title defence at Turmoil!?

Main Event: Billy Graham & AJ Styles v. The League (Christopher Daniels & William Regal)

Styles enters the ring first, followed by Graham. The two of them exchange stares before shaking hands. Styles is clearly giving out to Graham regarding the chairshot last week. To much laughter, Graham eases the tension by placing his sunglasses on Styles’ head, before going through his usual flexing routine with the crowd.Daniels and Regal come out together.
Styles and Daniels start off the match and the action is once again incredible. Soon enough Styles tags in Graham and Daniels opts not to tag in Regal. Daniels initially gets the upperhand on Graham before being Irish whipped with horrific force into his own corner, at which point Regal tags himself in. Regal and Graham have a good, slow, fight, in which Regal is able to get the upperhand for a short time using his own abilities, before Graham once again powers out and starts dominating Regal. Regal is thrown out of the ring eventually and comes back in with the brass knuckles on, only for Graham to block his punch and take them out of his hand! Styles and Daniels are tagged back in while Graham takes to the outside with the brass knuckles, literally chasing Regal who gets back into the ring only for Graham to catch up and punch him in the face – Regal falls against the turnbuckle. Luckily, the referee was concentrating on the Koji Clutch Daniels had Styles in at the time. Graham intervenes to prevent it before heading back to the corner. Moments later AJ gets Daniels in a Koji Clutch of his own and Daniels taps out! Graham is already walking away with his case and his belt as the bell rings. AJ celebrates ecstatically.

Billy Graham and AJ Styles win (AJ Styles via submission on Christopher Daniels)

Post-Match
William Regal is still lying against the turnbuckle when Rikishi comes running down the ramp and into the ring and performs the stinkface! What a nasty way to end the show!

VaVoom Lucha BeatTV1.2 Live from The Reunion Arena, Downtown Dallas,
Texas




The show opens with a promo of BeatTV1.1. We get a reminder of the happenings between our Heavyweight champ TAFKA Goldust and the tough Texan Stan Hansen, when the fabulous mess crashed Hansen’s match with Vampiro. Crossing paths at the commentary booth, we see again Goldust smashing a TV monitor into the face of Hansen. Images of a bloodied Hansen lead us onto the second part of the pre-show promo, which highlights the surmised dissention and downfall within the University. The clueless faces of Douglas, Otunga and Nowinski show on screen as their leader John Laurinaitis roars at their abundance of incompetence. Footage of the coffee incident made in Harward and the embarrassing clipping of Douglas by the barber. The promo ends to the sounds of Vampiros cackles as he stares at The Dean shocking new haircut



As pyro goes off in the white hot arena, the commentary team run down the card and ask the many questions to be answered. What will happen to The University? How will the proud Americans Honky Tonk Man and Greg Valentine are, after their country-wide tour? Will the Bulldogs continute to impress and the final question can TAFKA Goldust get any further under the skin of Old-Schooler Stan Hansen?

As the commentators ponder these questions Hansen’s music hits. The cowboy strides to the ring with serious intent. Grabbing the mike from the announcer, he laughs to himself a while before he starts to address some of the above questions.

Hansen: He’s a funny guy. Always kidding and joking with his flamboyant outfits and crazy antics. He’s a brave man, a very brave man, getting a woman to do all his dirty work. He is, and I know, a great wrestler. But his talent is wasted. He chooses not to use his god given skills and ability to rise above all in a graceful nature, to become a legend. His efforts are made towards acting like an ass, cheating and quite literally spiting on all who are ahead of him and all that have been before him. THAT.THAT is why I take it upon myself to teach this no good punk a lesson. Remind him where he comes from. Remind him what it takes to be a champion and remind him the people who helped him get to where he is. The icons of wrestling who, like me, know you since you were knee-high. You sh*t all over what they stood for, what they fought for and what they sacrificed so much for. People like my dear friend Bruiser Brody, Lou Thesz, Verne Gagne, Bruno Sammartino, Ric Flair, The Von Erichs and most important to sh*t on all that your great father Dusty Rhodes stood for. If you have no respect for the sport, the tradition and your heritage I’ll have no problem beating it into you"

He drops the mike and makes his way to the back.As we come back from commercial we meet Hansen walking backstage. Hansen stops in his stride and instantly clenches his fists. The camera turns to the duo of TAFKA Goldust and Luna. Goldust is carrying a baseball bat and is styled in a comical manner as his father Dusty Rhodes. Dusty Dust you could say. Hansen perks up with a “You can’t be serious!!! You really are one sick, sad little individual. Like I said, what would your father think?”. Goldust replies with an apathetic “Do I look like a give a F*ck?” Hansen enraged goes to grab Goldust by the neck but the bizarre one distances himself by placing the baseball bat on Hansen’s chin. He calmly informs the cowboy “Not tonight Stanley. Not tonight”. Goldust in his American dream attire ambles to the ring making a whole joke of the affair. He dances crudely in the ring. He calls for a microphone to given to him and under the chorus of booes form the Dallas crowd. He (in his best American Dwweam accent) calls for his opponent. “Get me my opponent for toniiiight if you wiiiiiiiilllll”

Goldust Vs David Von Erich

Von Erich comes to the ring and is instantly jumped by TAFKA Goldust. The joking ends for a while as Goldust unloads with a flurry of violent strikes. Racking David’s eyes along the ropes, the heavyweight champ is very much in charge and showing a certain amount of that wrestling talent Hansen talked about. He hits a solid DDT and get up to dance Dusty Rhodes style. The commentators echo what Hansen has been preaching “Does this man have no respect?”. Von Erich hits a big boot but as he goes to pick up the champ he is hit with a thumb to the eye. Goldust hits with a fist. One shot, two shot, three shots and then winds up a bionic elbow but just as he is about to drop the elbow he stops choosing to spit in Von Erich’s face. He then calls Luna who climbs to the apron distracting the ref. Goldust then collects a pair of brass knucks from his tights and slips it under his elbow. As the ref turns around Von Erich comes to a drowsy stand. DustyDust again hits an identical fist. One shot, two shot three shots and again ala his dad winds up the loaded bionic elbow. He send it crushing onto the skull of David who falls lifeless to the ground. TAFKA Goldust hooks the leg to get the pin fall victory.

Winner: Goldust

Goldust continues to dance American Dream style when on the titantron, comes a far from amused Hansen. Goldie points at Hansen laughingly as he keeps dancing.


Backstage we see The University. Given the very bad night they had last week they look surprisingly upbeat with heads held high. Otunga slurps form his coffee as Nowinski and newly scalped Douglas stand behind him. Laurinaitis enters the room and instantly asks Otunga has he fulfilled his duty of finding a talent who can beat the torn in The University’s side Kerry Von Erich. The Harvard graduates looks back at his colleagues with a look as if to say “Who wants to give the boss the good news?”. His pause is far too indulgent for Laurinaitis and the main man presses Otunga to unveil the mercenary he has recruited. Otunga rubs his hands together as he begins to introduce the man he believes can overturn The Texas Tornado.

Otunga:” I have the ultimate combatant. To be perfectly honest with you, our find is perfect in every way: the perfect body, the perfect mind and the perfect person to take on Von Erich. This man is third generation. His grandfather was one of the hardest hitting men in professional wrestling history. His father was one of the finest athletic personas to ever grace a wrestling ring. A hungry individual who eyes are always placed on the prize. Oozing pure skill, this guy is touchdown, knockout and game-set-match. All this topped off with knowledge worthy of The University. Mr.Laurinaitis I give you-(steps aside allowing his man to be reveal) Mr.Perfect Joe Hennig.”
Laurinaitis looks at Hennig and smiles. Tapping him on the shoulder he quips
“I have seen quite a bit of your work. I know you can easily beat the Von Ercih and bring prestige back to this fraternity. David, Well done as promised if this wonderful choice of yours gets the job done. The TV title is yours to keep. Roll on the main event.”



The group all clap and hug as we return to the arena. The camera pans to the corner of the arena where it looks like fan favourite Brutus “The Barber” Beefcake is going to host one of his famous Barbershop interviews. Who will the veteran be interviewing? The jingle of pianos and rockabilly mean only one thing. The Barber’s guests for this evening are the VaVoom Lucha Tag Teams champions, Rhythm and Blues. The much loved partnership of Greg Valentine and Honky Tonk Man. The guitar man enter the arena horns a tooting in their patriotic American flag Cadillac. Jibbing and jiving their way into the Barbershop the crowd are singing along with the tune. Beefcake goes to talk be is stopped by the mass of screaming and shouting for the Musical duo. The pops dampens allowing Brutus to start his interview.

Brutus: “Holy Crap, What an ovation that is Honky. What do you think of that?

Honky:” Well Brutus I wouldn’t expect anything less form our fan here in Houston. (The crowd boo and a facepalming Valentine reminds HTM he’s in Dallas. Honky corrects himself) Sorry Sorry folks I forgot we were in the beautiful Dallas tonight. Sorry guys, you really do have to forgive me have been all across this great land in the past few weeks. Singing our songs by day and defending our titles by night. Boy has it been a blast. We’ve been from west coast to east coast and back again. We’ve done it all. From A to Z, we’ve been hunting with girls scouts to selling cookies with the NRA’s finest (Valentine again shakes his head as if to say ahh FFS Honky). And now we are back in 2VL totally re invigorated . I’ll tell you Bruti when we visited the troops stationed just up the road that were heading out to South Korea to police Kim Jong-un and the rest of his commies we couldn’t help but think we could take on all comers here in 2VL. We have the power of America behind us. (Honky, overcome with patriotism starts a USA chant) U.S.A…..U.S.A ….U.S.A”

As Rhythm and Blue direct the crowd to sing louder, the British Bulldogs run in from behind the set and blindside the tag champs. Davy Boy shoulders Valentine to the ground and mounds him delivering a barrage of lethal punches. Dynamite has sat Honky Tonk Man on one of the Barbershop chairs and is unloading with stinging knife hand chops and head-butts. Chop to the chest, head-butt to the nose, chop to the chest head-butt to the nose. The Tag Champs are helpless as the Brits pretty much have their way with them in this unconventional settling. Brutus stands back almost at a loss at what to do. The crowd start a chant of “Beefcake, Beefcake” which makes the Barber react. He runs to the aid of Honky and Valentine. He kicks Davy Boy squarely in the face as he is working on Valentine. Unaware of the host coming to the rescue Dynamite still keeps whacking the near unconscious HTM. Brutus grabs an adjacent guitar which was brought in my Valentine. He creeps up behind Dynamite and swinging the guitar violently hitting him in the back. Flying to the ground Beefcake starts to strut and goad the Bulldogs as they lay on the ground beat up and shocked. The crowd are going mental but fall quiet as a large shadow comes from being the dancing Barber. The figure walks right to the back of Beefcake who stops instantly. Turning his head slowly he see the monstrous figure of “The Ripper” Paul Burchill. Burchill allows Beefcake to take two or three steps back and lets an almighty roar. Brutus jumps and without a moments thought cocks back the guitar and smashes it over Burchill’s head. Burchill doesn’t move an inch. His face garners a large smile as if he enjoyed it. He grabs Beefcake and slams him on the Barbershop floor. He kick Beefcake in the head as he tried to recoup his countrymen. After the bird circling Dynamites head disappear he starts directing traffic. He orders Burchill to fire Valentine through the Barbershop Window. Burchill picks the ample Valentine with ease and gorilla press slams him through the glass. It is total carnage. Dynamite grabs Beefcake by the neck and flings him through the window after Valentine. The trio now team up on Honky Tonk. Kicking him on his knees towards the car Dynamite gets a fistful of hiar and drives Honky’s head to the concrete. As if this isn’t enough he swings the car door open to knock Honky. Davy Boy hoists the lifeless HYM and with a shout of “IT’S OVER!!!!” he lands HTM on the bonnet of the car with a brutal running powerslam. The trio retreat and soak in the vitriol being aimed their way from the disgusted crowd. They raise their hands in victory as they leave.

It is now time for our main event. Kerry Von Erich takes on “Mr Perfect” Joe Hennig in a non-title match. The University swaggers to the ring. Douglas, Nowinski, Otunga and Laurinaitis all join their new member as he takes on Kerry.

Kerry Von Erich Vs “Mr Perfect” Joe Hennig.

The match starts with Hennig getting the upper hand. With each knockdown Hennig flexes with pecks, shows off the guns and even takes time to do some taunting press-ups. The pair doa test of strength in the centre of the ring Von Erich wins as he twists Hennig’s arms. Perfect then hits a shift low-blow to regain control of the match. As Kerry holds his breadbasket Hennig spits out his chewing gum and flicking it his hand lands in right between Kerry’s eyes. Hennig locks on a sleeper hold in the centre of the ring. Kerry fades as perfect calls to Laurinaitis informing him he is “getting the job done”. The ref lifts Kerrys arm to see if the Texas legend is on his way out. On the second lift Von Erich leaves his arm sky high and begins to “Hulk up”. Elbowing Hennig in the gut he breaks free. Tornado whips his opponent to the ropes and hits a beautiful back body drop. He follow this with a vertical suplex with a delay that seems years. With the blood all flowing to Perfect’s head Kerry Von Erich locks on the legendary Von Erich claw. The second Kerry locks on the claw all of the University members jump to the apron. Seeing the learned men on the apron Kerry going into a spin almost twirling like a tornado delivering discus punches to all the University members. He spins to strike Douglas knocking him to the ground. Laurinaitis is the next to get the discus punch. The ref is all over the place trying to gain order. Nowinski ducks just in time jumping off the apron. As he spins to hit Otunga, he is beaten to the punch by Otunga who strikes his with his coffee flask. This stops Kerry’s onslaught. Hennig composes himself and delivers a Perfect-flex to get the win.
Winner: “Mr Perfect” Joe Hennig

The perfect one kicks Von Erich out of the ring as all the University enter and ring to enjoy their win. The group hug and Otunga pats Hennig on the back. Laurinaitis calls to the desk to get the TV title for the Harvard graduate. Otunga receives his title as Mr.Perfect Joe Hennig points at the fallen Von Erich as he makes the gesture that he is getting Kerry’s US title. All with their arms held high. Otunga, Nowinski, Hennig, Laurinaitis and Douglas all smiles. As they gloat the arena goes black for a few moments. The lights come back on and Douglas is covered in a substance looking like blood. Douglas looks in fear as the others take a step back. The arena lights go down again. When they return moments later Douglas is gone with only a pool of blood remaining. The puzzled University give a look of WTF? They question each other as they look all around the venue. The credits rolls as the sounds of a spooky laugh rings throughout the arena.

Monday Night Grappling



Week 1 Show here.

Previously on Monday Night Grappling…

- The Four Horsemen debuted with all the gold and claimed to be in control of the company.

- Alberto Del Rio - who thought he had won a battle royal to become World Champion – was left with nothing.

- The Fabulous Freebirds were assaulted by the Horsemen.

The show opens from New Orleans, LA.

Match already announced for tonight:

Lita vs Aja vs Beth vs Natalya vs Rosa vs Foxy Rock (rookie)

The winner will face champion Trish Stratus for the Women’s Title at Grapplemania

The show opens with the Horsemen theme hitting. There is a member missing though: Ric Flair



Barry Windham – the MNG Legends Champ - gets on the mic and says The Horsemen are running things now. He says he has been selected to be the GM. He says Flair will be here later on tonight to address the title situation as that’s a matter for the champ. He says Del Rio will also be here later but he should be here now since only a champion like Ric Flair can arrive late - so he is fining Del Rio 50,000 dollars. Arn and Tully laugh and slap Windham on the back.

Windham speaks about the card tonight when the fans begin to cheer as they see Michael Hayes and Terry Gordy – the Freebirds – coming through the crowd.

Windham: Hey, hey, security. Don’t let those two near the ring. Keep ‘em back.

The fans boo as a bunch of security guys stop the Freebirds getting in the ring.

Hayes: You punks left us in a pool of our own blood last week. Me and Terry won’t forget that. When we get our hands on you we’re gonna beat your asses.

Windham laughs and says if the Freebirds want a shot at them they have to earn it. Tonight they will be in a triple threat tag match against British Invasion and the team of Del Rio and Magnum T.A. The winners will get a chance to face Arn and Tully for the tag titles at Grapplemania. Not that it matters since Arn and Tully can’t be beaten.

(commercial break)

*backstage segment* We see Rosa Mendes pacing backstage trying to get Del Rio on the phone. Rush walks up and says he will accompany her in the 6 way match if she wants but she says she believes Del Rio will be there for her.

Match: 6 way match to be number one contender for the women’s title: Lita vs Aja Kong vs Beth Phoenix vs Nattie Neidhart vs Rosa Mendes vs Foxy Rock

First fall wins it.

Trish – the women’s champ - came out first and was on commentary. She blamed Lita for the loss to Beth and Neidhart last week and said she hasn’t spoken to her since.



The match was hectic with brawls breaking out everywhere. Rosa spent much of the match looking up the ramp for Del Rio. Foxy Rock proved unwilling to get involved and spent the match hiding at ringside as the fans booed her.

The finish saw Beth and Natalya beat on Aja at ringside with Lita hitting a twist of fate on Rosa followed by a moonsault to get the win.

Winner and new number one contender: Lita

After the match, Beth and Nattie hit the ring and beat down Lita.



The commentators asked Trish if she would do anything but she just stood there. She then walked up the ramp and left. The beatdown continued and Aja hit the ring to help but they beat on her too. Then the lights shut down.

Kharma marched down the ramp and Beth and Natalya slid out of the ring.

She had a staredown with the Divas of Doom as the commentators put over how the playing field has now changed dramatically.

(commercial plugging Grapplemania in a few weeks)

*backstage segment* Del Rio showed up and was seen walking into the arena. Rosa arrived and demanded to know where he was and cursed him out in Spanish. Del Rio said she knew he had to consult with his lawyers over his money issues and that he was having to clean up the whole mess. Rosa asked if he was blaming her on his finances and before he could answer she stormed off and said maybe she should find someone who will treat her right.

Rush was again seen lurking in the background, eavesdropping and smiling.

Monday Night Grappling: Irish Boot Camp



As noted last week this year the company’s Irish branch has nominated three superstars for the chance to earn a contract with the company, but only one can be signed.



Finlay is in the ring and says he has been asked to coach the three rookies. He asks what they thought of Foxy Rock earlier in the women’s match and they boo. Finlay says she needs to up her game as the first elimination will be next week and only one of them can be signed to a full contract.

The British Invasion interrupt and say the three of them are hopeless just like the Irish people in general. They urge Finlay to join the British Invasion and swear allegiance to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and become a fully-fledged British citizen - because that’s what he is really. Finlay tells them to come in the ring and say that but they back away and tell Finlay to think about their offer.

*backstage segment* We see Del Rio and the Freebirds talking about how it stinks they have to fight each other. Freebirds say they think Del Rio should be World Champion. A lackey then comes in and says Magnum T.A. has been attacked. They rush to his aid and find him assaulted. Del Rio says it’s more Horsemen games and he guesses it’s a handicap match for him now.

The Freebirds say this sucks but they need to win the match tonight to get their hands on Arn and Tully. Del Rio says he understands he is on his own but he will do his best and they shake hands.

(commercial break)

Back from commercial we see World Champ Ric Flair has arrived with two beautiful women on each arm. An interviewer asks who the number one contender will be at Grapplemania and Flair says all in good time. We’ll find out later on.

As Del Rio is fixing up his boots we see Rush arrive.



Rush says Rosa has just agreed to become his manager and that he is offering his services to Del Rio to replace the injured Magnum T.A. Rush says the Horsemen are going after everyone and it’s getting scary. Del Rio says he knows what Rush is after with Rosa and that he thinks Rush is more interested in a tag title shot than helping him out. Rush denies it and says if he rejects the offer, how will Rosa feel? Del Rio thinks about it and accepts the offer.

Main event for the #1 contenders for the tag titles: Del Rio & Magnum T.A. Rush vs The Fabulous Freebirds vs British Invasion

Rosa came out with Rush who the commentators acknowledged she is now managing. Del Rio came out after, but Rosa shunned him.

It was a competitive match and Rush and Del Rio worked well together and had some near falls. Rosa cheered on Rush but refused to clap her boyfriend Del Rio.

Near the climax of the match the British Invasion were left outside the ring. The Freebirds and Rush and Del Rio were fighting.

Magnum T.A. then staggered out - a bloody mess - and had a microphone.

Magnum T.A.: Hold on a minute. There’s something I need to say.

It wasn’t the Horsemen who attacked me earlier. It was that son of a bitch, Rush.

All other men in the ring turn to Rush who shrugs and tries to brush it off. He reminds Del Rio what is at stake here but Del Rio balls up his first and punches him, sending him towards the Freebirds who finish the youngster off for the win.

Winners and number one contenders for the tag titles: The Fabulous Freebirds

Del Rio after the match tries to speak to Rosa but she again ignores him and checks on Rush. Del Rio grabs a mic and asks her to come in the ring.

Del Rio: Honey, I know I have been preoccupied lately. You feel I don’t care about you. I know you feel I blame you in part for the way my finances have been. But I don’t.

Rosa shakes her head.

Del Rio: I mean it. I’ve lost everything the last number of months. My familia. My best friend. My fortune. And last week I lost my chance to be World Heavyweight Champion. I’ve lost everything Rosa, but I can’t lose you…

Del Rio gets down on one knee.

(Fans shout nooooooooo!)

Del Rio: Honey, I wasn’t just meeting my lawyers earlier. I was also getting you this….

He pulls out a wedding ring.



Del Rio: Every last cent I have I’ve put into this. Next week we will be in Las Vegas and while I won’t be able to afford a big ceremony, we can get married and pledge our futures together. What do you say, Rosa?



(Fans scream No! No! No!)

Rosa begins to nod and tear up as Del Rio hugs her. Some people cheer but many are booing. The Freebirds pat Del Rio on the back and shake his hand.

Backstage we see the Horsemen looking on monitors and shaking their heads. Commentators say after the break we will find out who will face Flair for the title at Grapplemania.

Final segment

The Horsemen come out with Flair there with them this time and they stroll down the aisle flanked by huge security. Rosa and Del Rio are still in the ring. The Freebirds are being kept away from the Horsemen by security. Flair grabs a mic as the building begins to woo…

Ric Flair: It seems love is in the air, fellas! Alberto…as a guy who knows a little something about marriages…one bit of advice for you my man: get a pre-nup.

Del Rio looks on and glares.

Flair: Me and the other Horsemen have consulted one another about the World Title situation and we’ve arrived at a decision.

He hands the mic to Barry Windham.

Windham: As the Four Horsemen have chosen me to be the GM I can reveal to you and the world that at Grapplemania, the World Title will be defended in what we are calling a Fatal Four Horsemen match. All Four Horsemen will battle for the title and at the end of the night, while the title may change, the championship will still be Horsemen property.

They slap each other on the back as Del Rio gets a mic.



Del Rio: You think you’re pretty smart don’t you?

They all nod and laugh.

Del Rio: Well I’m sorry to disappoint you but there’s one thing you four haven’t counted on.

They shake their heads and act unworried.

Del Rio: The owner of this company was happy to let me take charge the last few difficult months. Happy for me to use my money taking care of the show in its off-season. It seems meanwhile he was busy negotiating bringing you four in here. I wish he had the decency to let me know this.

Flair: Too bad for you, Senor.

Del Rio: Yes, too bad for me. But while he didn’t let me know all of his business…I also didn’t let him know all of mine.

(Fans begin to cheer)

Del Rio: I’m sorry Horsemen but the position of General Manager of Monday Night Grappling has already been filled. I neglected to mention this to the owner.

(fans cheer as Windham shakes his head)

Del Rio: Oh yes. It was filled by a man who didn’t ask for much money for he is a humble man. You might say – and I mean this as a compliment – he is a common man.

(Horsemen begin to frantically shake their heads.)

Del Rio: Give it up for the General Manager of Monday Night Grappling…the American Dream Dusty Rhodes!



(the fans pop huge as Dusty strolls out dancing as the Horsemen are incensed)

Dusty Rhodes: Well, well, well. Been too long, gentlemen. Been too long.

I'm sorry to disappoint you Mr. Barry Windham, give my apologies to your fatha, but you ain’t general manager of anything. I call the shots around here from now on. Seems to me that the first matter of business I need to attend to is the World Title situation and it will NOT be defended in a match with the Four Horsemen.

Alberto Del Rio won the battle royal last week and while he is not the World Champion...what he is is the official number one contender for the World Championship.

(Del Rio hugs Rosa as the fans cheer)

Dusty Rhodes: Now that I’ve got that out of the way I guess there’s just one more thing to do. SECURITY…! As the General Manager of Monday Night Grapplin' I am ordering you to take the night off, get yourselves a drink backstage and leave those men down there to fend for theyselves.

The security leave and the Freebirds jump out of the ring and chase the Horsemen who rush to the back to get away.

Commentators: Dusty Rhodes has the power! The Horsemen aren’t going to have it all their own way now it would seem! What will happen next week? Tune in as we come from Las Vegas where it seems Alberto Del Rio will be getting married to Rosa Mendes! Oh my goodness!

The show ends.

Alberto Del Rio vs Ric Flair (c) (World Heavyweight Championship)

Bounty Hunter

Welcome back to BWA Raw Re-Cap

Re-Introducing BWA Chairman Bounty Hunter

Things had looked up for the chairman of the board until recently. He had brought back a BWA legend (Misawa), recruited the champion from one of his fiercest rivals (WECWF champion Jake Roberts), signed some huge name wrestlers like Stone Cold Steve Austin and Dos Caras to his brand as well as bringing in both rules and precautions to avoid a slip in this new PG era and physical enforcement in the form of Rocky Marciano to ensure this happened.

Unfortunately for the boss things dont always run smoothly here in the BWA. Stone Cold is living up to his anti-authority billing and is causing him untold amounts of stress not to mention the occasional stunner, Jake is proving very hard to control and still running around proclaiming himself WECWF champion and promoting that defunct company at every turn, Dos Caras has reviled himself as a power hungry Del Rio trying to buy up BWA shares and Misawa has turned his back on the BWA universe but captured their BWA championship, not to mention the emergence of a new heel stable lead by what appears to be a Drug Kingpin in the form of Bob Sapp. On top of all that new competitors were emerging in the Monday night wars in the form of ICW, CWA & ICE Wrestling where former BWA wrestler HHH apparently has had his big nose bent out of shape over how he was portrayed during his time with the BWA.

Things went from bad to worse for Bounty Hunter and his promotion though as ratings began to plummet. It seems the initial spike attained with the arrival of many of the new names to the BWA roster wasn't sustained with BH's new PG era rules being blamed. The fans of SCSA, Jake the Snake etc knew that under the shows new direction their favourite superstars would not be main eventing BWA Raw or PPVs anytime soon and certainly not for the BWA World Title and thus tuned out in droves often directly switching to rival programming. Even worse this could result in a major resulted in a loss of revenue as sponsors threaten to pull their sponsorship if the situation does not improve. This could even result in company not being able to pay the new bumper contracts they had offered to the likes of Stone Cold & Dos Caras or the inability to renew those of the few who have yet to re debut from injury (Bruno Sammartino).

As a result of all the stress this has caused the chairman has been a physical wreck recently and farmed out a lot of his on air responsibilities to his "assistant" (Muscle) Rocky Marciano while he tries to think of a way out of this financial mess. Perhaps he did this too late as it would seem it was all too much for the boss as he collapsed backstage during BWA raw one night and had to be rushed to hospital. He has not been seen since but some have speculated that their may have been more than meets the eye to his sudden illness.

Re-introducing Jado & Gedo

After an emergency board meeting it was decided that the day to day running of the BWA would be handed over to these two. This came as a surprise to many but given the fact that they had win the Observers best booker award for the past 2 years for their work in New Japan before joining the BWA it really was a logical move although one that seemingly had on major side effect. Their buddy or to be more forthcoming the guy they acted like they worshiped is Mitsuharu Misawa and people would have been forgiven for thinking that he was given an easy ride on BWA.

They kept Bounty Hunters rules intact and kept Marciano in his enforcer role, because they didn't care about the financial implications of anyone's contract but if they could keep, Stone Cold or Jake The Snake away from Misawa and his title they were happy.

Re-Introducing BWA World Champion Mitsuharu Misawa

Misawa has had it easy since becoming champion despite everything and when we say everything we mean everything because under normal circumstances someone acting as he has would get nothing handed to him.

He has disrespected the audience at every turn particularly picking out those who still cheer him for his derision. His main gripe still seems that nobody appreciated him during his previous stint with the BWA and that only now that he is wearing the no.1 wrestling belt in the world is he getting any respect but that even that respect is tainted as far as he's concerned. He says that the respect is based in fear and not love and tat he now thrives on peoples fears.

He has also become obsessed with being the champion and has begun to weild his influence over the men he brought into this company Jado & Gedo to essentially hand pick all of his opponents. For all intensive purposes he booke himself in matches against superstars such as Ricardo Rodrigeuz or John Kronos and then made a huge deal win he is able to secure victory. Even in these matches he made sure that Rocky Marciano was ordered to ringside to ensure there would be no interference in the championship bout. As these events kept occurring the crowds grew more and more hostile baying for blood and just wishing that someone could pull off an upset or someone worthy could be given a chance against him.

With Bounty Hunter out of action this was let go far longer than most would expect but when the main event for BWA Raw was booked as BWA World Champion Mitsuharu Misawa vs Kristal Lashley the board of directors felt they had to step in. They decided that starting from the next PPV they would be the ones to decide who faced the champion not the interm GMs

Re-Introducing Dos Caras / Alberto Del Rio Sr

When the chairman of the BWA was taken ill not many suspected foul play but only 1 week later suspicious eyes were set on the Mexican Aristocrat Alberto Del Rio Sr. Why? you ask, well the timing of it was interesting to say the least as only two days later was Bounty Hunter scheduled to provide a hefty cash injection into the company without which due to recent fiscal pressures the board were forced to once again seek outside investment to avoid not being able to pay their wrestlers. By the time the following weeks BWA Raw aired Daddy Del Rio now owned 40% of all BWA stock, second only to the incapacitated chairman himself.

Del Rio now had more influence over the running of the show he appeared on than anyone and nobody with the possible exception of BWA champion Mitsuharu Misawa had more sway with the interm GMs than he. Whenever he wrestled he too got booked in what some would describe as easier matches and thankfully for he and the champ there was no friction between the two of them. Those who believed he was behind the chairman's illness mused that he was more interested in becoming the Boss than the champion. Worryingly for the BWA universe though this could in fact be a reality sooner rather than later because if the chairman isnt back in action by the night BWA Raw airs monday after the Royal Rumble if Bounty Hunter has not resurfaced another cash injection will be needed and Del Rio will have the opportunity to gain the majority needed to seize control.

everything seemed to be going his way until one thing got under Del Rio Sr's skin and created friction between he and the champ and the booking team where there had been none already. His employee and one of his only friends Ricardo Rodriguez would be booked to face the champion in the main event of Raw. He tried to intervene but was kept at bay by the same BWA security and Rocky Marciano whos wages he was now helping pay. Instead he was forced to watch as Ricardo was dismantled in the ring and left lying bloody in the ring before being pinned by the champ.

Del Rio wanted vengeance and now had a weapon he could use in the form of his influence with the BWA board whom he lobbied to take control of who the champion was booked to face. The following week when Jado and Gedo okayed Misawa vs Kristal Lashley they needed no further convincing. They couldnt overturn the majority shareholders decision on who is deemed worthy (in this new PG era) to get a title shot however so their options on who should face Misawa were pretty slim so it was no surprise when Alberto Del Rio Sr himself announced that challenging for the world title at the Royal Rumble would be none other than himself.

Misawa vs Del Rio booked for the Royal Rumble and the crowd really dont know who to root for. They hate Misawa and the farce they consider his title reign but Del Rio is not exactly the credible challenger they had hoped for, Capable in the ring yes but do they like him? or more to the point do they trust him? many believe he had something to do with Bounty Hunter's mysterious illness and i'm sure they would prefer someone like Stone Cold Steve Austin in his place.

Re-Introducing Stone Cold Steve Austin

Stone Cold has flat out taken exception to his moral character being questioned and resulting in him being excluded often by force from the BWA main event scene and when some others might buckle down and mend there ways to appease the powers that be Austin had another approach, He gave authority the finger (and then usually a stunner) and refused to accept his new found status in the mid card.

The crowd were clearly on his side with regards that and during many BWA Raw main events they were heard to chant the rattlesnakes name at the top of their voices for near half the match. Most of the time he didn't disappoint them too as he refused to stay away despite the boss & GMs orders and the presence of Rocky Marciano between he and the champ. During one Raw where Misawa was making a huge deal over how he defeated John Kronos the previous week. Stone Cold decided he simply could not take it any more and after the iconic glass smashing he made a beeline for the ring only to once again be blocked off by Rocky Marciano once again on the ramp.

At this point the champion started to run down Austin saying that no matter what these hick fans in attendance think he is not worthy of facing him, The GMs know it, The chairman knew it and even somewhere deep down inside he himself knows it. He says thats why even though he continues to keep disrespecting him by interrupting promos and matches he hides behind supposed respect for Marciano (and refusing to fight through him to get to Misawa) and everything he has accomplished to save himself from having to march down to the ring and recieve the beating of his life at the hands of Misawa. Austin shapes to head down the ramp only for Marciano to again essentially bodycheck him. Austin never took his eyes off the champion though and almost ignoring Rocky flips the bird at Misawa over the legendary boxers shoulder before shocking everyone by suddenly hitting Marciano with a Stone Cold Stunner.

The Rattlesnake then charged the ring and he and Misawa were engulfed in an epic brawl until Security, Jado & Gedo and eventually Marciano forced them apart and Austin to the back. From that point on he almost had a mini feud with Marciano who would no longer just block his interference in main event matches but would now get physically involved with Austin when he even tried. It also become more and more obvious that the booking team were anti-Austin as he got booked in more and more handicap mid card matches against the likes of The New Gangsta's (New Jack & Mustafa Seed) or even against the interm GMs themselves Jado & Gedo.

There were rumours that this was really starting to get to Austin, that he was drinking more than usual etc as a result and the BWA even went to the lengths to have a sit down interview with him on the subject at which point he hilariously given the BWA new pro-PG stance lined up every type of alcohol he could get his hands on and told the interviewer

"im going to have a beer (destroys one in seconds), knock back a shot of Whiskey (does as he says), a Vodka (again), a brandy (again), a glass of fine champagne (says in a fancy accent then downs it too), some Sambuca (again... you get the idea), a baileys, a lil sex on the beach, and then some more beer and then you know what im going to do?

Interviewer & Crowd: What?

"I'm going to go out there to the ring and open a big ol can of whoop a*s on whatever pair of chumps await me, and do you think I have a problem with that?... Hell No! and why? cos beating chumps 2 at a time is the best possible training I could have for the royal Rumble where every superstar no matter how much they drink, f*cking (bleeped out) swear or raise hell will have a shoot at earning the right to main event BWA Wrestlemania"

Interviewer: So your throwing you hat in the ring for the Royal Rumble

at which point Austin gets up and comments on how dumb a question that is after all he's said "You bet your as$ stone cold is entering the rumble" before promptly leaving the interview backstage and heading to the ring where he defeated both members of The Eliminators.

Re-Introducing The Eliminators aka Perry Saturn & John Kronos

Perry Saturn had been for want of a better term struggling for clarity a lot in recent times and spending more and more time in the company of Bob Sapp, Bobby Lashley, New Jack & Mustafa Seed (who were now as a collective group simply being referred to as the Gangstas). This had Kronos very worried for his tag partner and often saw the two wrestle individually on Raw with Saturn not always being deemed fit to compete by BWA officials. Why he was so worried was personified for the BWA universe though when with the ganagstas banned from the arena for the night Saturn had that rare moment of clarity he badly needed and showed the world his true self.

He went to the ring and cut a promo where he talked about how it's a joke that a team of pretty boys calling themselves The Motor City Machine guns have held the BWA tag team titles for so long when he could beat either one of them any night of the week. He says they are epidemic of this new generation of wrestlers who think that they know it all because they have been on an MTV reality show. He reminds everyone how he was a trained by and trained wrestlers with the late great Killer Kowalski was a trainer in the ECW House of Hardcore and knew more about the art of wrestling than those two could ever dream of.

The Motor City Machine guns couldnt just let him go though and made their way out only for him to re-iterate how he could beat either one of them any night of the week and challenging one of them to rove him wrong. Alex Shelley accepted the challenge but even with Sabin at ringside he simply couldnt defeat Saturn who shocked the tag champs by making Shelley tap out to his Rings of Saturn Scissored armbar as the crowd chanted "You've still got it". As the commentators noted it was clear to see the two sides of Saturn and why John Kronos was so desperate to see more of this Perry Saturn.

As a result of this victory the eliminators were suddenly back in contention for the tag titles and interm GMs Jado & Gedo (who felt it would be unfit to compete in the tag title hunt while in office) booked them vs Bob Sapp & Bobby Lashley in a number 1 contenders match for the tag titles. Despite his affiliations with Sapp & Lashley Kronos really hoped that this match could motivate Saturn to keep on the straight and narrow but it was only the following week that he instead had to find Saturn asleep on a staging prop seemingly completely out of it meer minutes before they were due to compete in a handicap match vs Stone Cold Steve Austin. This match was a real low for The Eliminators and Saturn really embarrassed himself especially after his performance the week before.

Which Perry Saturn will turn up the night of The Royal Rumble though and how will he deal with having to face off against Bob Sapp & Bobby Lashley.

Re-Introducing Bob Sapp & Bobby Lashley

Bob Sapp recently called himself the man with a million nicknames on a recent episode of BWA raw. Now we had already seen him referred to as "The Beast Unleashed" or "The Head Gangsta" but this comment was perhaps more in response to how a number of wrestlers in the BWA had been seen calling him their "booker" and asking if he could give them "a push". The superstars included the likes of Bobby Lashley, New Jack & Mustafa Seed, Perry Saturn and even occasionally Jake Roberts. This gave him a lot of support should he need it in his quest for gold here in the BWA with these people willing to do almost anything to ensure they keep receiving their push. Collectively this grouping became known as " The Gangstas" with Sapp well and truly in charge of the ensemble.

His quest for gold began with BWA Intercontinental champion Kenta Kobashi who he saw as a weak link in the line of champions due to the question marks hanging over his desire to continue to compete (in the last show it was explained how he was questioning retirement) in the BWA. The two had some great match ups for the gold but each time Sapp was cos victory be the over zealous actions of his cohorts with first New Jack causing his disqualification and then a week later Mustafa Seed almost with the exact same actions meaning the IC belt stayed around Kobashi's waist. The following week Sapp challenged Kobashi once more to a 1 on 1 bout at the next PPV (the subsequent week) but this time the interm GMs ruled that if any member of the Gangstas interfered Sapp would never again get a chance at Kenta's belt.

At the PPV with his Stable members at ringside Sapp put in a dominant display and looked every each "the beast" he had often been called. He looked like he could take the gold until a marital row broke out between Bobby & Kristal lashley at ringside resulting in Kristal going to strike Bobby with a mug she pulled off the commentary table but inadvertently hitting Kobashi who Sapp had just whipped against the ropes. Sapp was instantly disqualified and all hell broke lose at ringside between The Gangstas as Kristal marched away up the ramp.

Sapp was infuriated and held his buddies primarily Bobby Lashley responsible for his lack of a title and in the subsequent weeks made Lashley team up with him in search of the tagteam titles. Kristal pleaded with Lashley, saying he didnt owe Sapp anything and that he was better than a gangsta but "The Head Gangsta" had his hooks in pretty deep and after this latest debacle Bobby felt even more in-debt to him than ever before so brought his A game to the table with regards their teaming up.

They were certainly the most physically dominant team in the tag division in the weeks following and it wasn't long before they earned themselves a spot in a no.1 contenders match vs The Eliminators at the royal Rumble.

Re-Introducing Jake Roberts

Jake was a divisive character with the BWA fans, he represented their fallen foes the WECWF and still carried their heavyweight championship while refusing to defend it so most hated him. However everything he said tended to be the truth, he did beat CM Punk to win that title in last years draft main event, he was arguably one of the best I the Industry and people did want to see him vs The best in the BWA but Jake said he was not going to change for anybody least of all the absent BWA chairman and his nonsensical PG rules and that meant he couldnt face the BWA champion and become the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world.

It wasn't long before he got frustrated with being stuck in the midcard though and as he ended up spending more and more time in the company of Bob Sapp and the Gangstas he realised he needed a change so he went to interm GM's Jado & Gedo. He said that he could be representing the WECWF in any other federation in the boards draft but decided that he wanted to come to the BWA because thats where the big dogs play. He then demands a shot against the Intercontinental champion Kenta Kobashi if he wont be allowed at their buddy Misawa. In making this challenge though Jake launched into a big diatribe of insults aimed at kobashi so as to emphasise how he is so much better than his potential opponent, however he instead comes off as a massive racist and does himself no favours with the GMs at all.

He was unaware of this though as they merely stated that he would have to get in line to face Kobashi and that Bob Sapp was currently at the head of that line but that they could get him in a title hunt. They then offered him a match vs the tag team champions tonight and promised they would find him a suitable partner, they even go as far as to say that if Jakes team can get a win tonight that they will give them a tag titles shot at the next PPV, The Royal Rumble.

The MCMGs are first out to the ring later that night, then after Jake makes his way down to the ring as usual carrying Damian the snake in a black bag with him the titantron lights up and the interm GMs appear to introduce Jake's partner for the night but before they do they remind Jake that the next time he is racially abusive at work he should remember who he is talking to and that tonight they had to search long and hard for a suitable tag partner for him as a result of his actions, but no worry they say they found someone just as low down, slimey and disgusting as Jake to do the job, Jake's tag partner for the night... Damian! they laugh meniacally as the screen turns to black and the bell rings.

Its essentially a 2 on 1 handicap match but Jake does his best to compensate by being a classic heel and taking every advantage he can, raking the eyes, isolating the man in the ring from being able to tag out, distracting the ref and hitting a low blow and later using the ropes and his opponents tights to try to pin him but all to no avail as the numbers game seems to be too much for him and Chris Sabin started to get on top of him. He slingshot Jake into Sabins own corner but before he hit the turnbuckle Jake throw up an elbow and knocked Shelley off the apron and onto the ringsteps outside. Focusing on the man outside the ring even for that split second let his guard against sabin down and he was hit by a big clothesline which took both men outside. Jake was first to his feet though and rammed Sabins head into the steel corner post. Inside the ring the ref started a 10 count but Jake quickly broke that up before as the commentators quipped "tagging in his partner Damian"

He went to his own corner and grabbed the brown sack and then exited the ring to near the ramp way where both members of the MCMGs where downed from respective blows to the corner post and ringsteps and released damian from the confines of the sack. Almost instantaneously Shelley & Sabin had their minds focused thanks to the fear that gripped them and both men scarpered up the ramp while Jake now with Damian wrapped around him slid back into the ring before the Refs 10 count.

somehow Jake had defeated the tag champs and after a message from the BWA board of directors clarified that did in fact entitle him to a tag title shot with a partner of his choosing at the Royal Rumble. Who would jake want to team with? who will the mystery partner be?

Re-Introducing Kenta Kobashi

A lot of Kobashi's story in recent months was already told in his battles with Bob Sapp but two weeks before The Royal Rumble he said he had decided what his future entailed with regards Professional wrestling and was ready to answer the question, is he is going to retire?

However much to his disdain he was interrupted by Mustafa Seed and New Jack who say they dont care about his future they care about right now and the Royal Rumble. They say that right now Kobashi and the two of them are the only wrestlers not already in matches at the rumble so why not have a triple threat for the IC title. Kobashi doesent just dismiss them and in fact says he understands and appreciates that they are doing this to win favour with their leader Bob Sapp but that he does not have any issues with then and does not want to hurt them and says that that is simply what would happen if they faced each other.

New Jack stepped forward with a somewhat simple yet effective response. "you dont want to hurt us? you dont have any issues with us? otherwise you would face us huh? then after a deep gut wrenching sound New Jack spits right in the BWA legend and IC champions face before quipping, "what about now?" and laughing hysterically. Once again security is needed to separate 2 or in this case 3 BWA superstars as Kobashi sees red. As he is escorted awa from the ring for his own safety he is heard to call out "you want the match, you got it!". The following week on Raw he said that his decision about his future can wait until he wins his match at the Royal Rumble.

The match is just about to start when all the sudden the lights go out and when they come back the crowd cant believe their eyes it is the Undertaker standing in the middle of the ring, Steen and Sasuke want no part in him so leave the ring

Undertaker: I am here to answer a challenge but before I do that I want to talk about a man who has recently left our mortal shores..

Paul Bearer you were more then a manager to me and more then a friend you were like a father to me, With you by my side I know there was not a person on this earth who could defeat me..I owe so much to you without you I would never have won the titles, I would never have the streak and I would never have had my brother by my side...Paul I never said this to you but thank you and I said this many times but never meant it more then I do now Rest in peace..

LCW SHOW 2

The LCW Review wrote:

After the television deal with NBC was rescinded after the ratings for the inaugural show suffered due to a clash with a major sporting event the LCW has been without a television home for 3 weeks. After the news that it has been picked up by AMC for a 4 show run including the previously planned PPV Crusade fans have responded positively. They have been boosted by news of some interesting signings made by the company though there are no new names billed tonight. The first show on the new network aired last night and there are results in

LCW Thursday Night Brawls comes to you this week from the New Orleans Arena under the shadow of the Superdome

A vignette detailing the events of the first week airs. We are told in commentary that Sting has had a setback and is in no condition to compete tonight. Despite rumours saying that he was seen walking around New Orleans earlier we are told in no uncertain terms that he is not there tonight.

Jack Swagger's music hits to huge heat. His actions in allying himself with Lou Thesz, AJ Styles and Eric Bischoff in the last show garnered huge unpopularity. We get to hear what he has to say.

In the first show Eric Bischoff told me that he didn't have a place for me in the company and that I didn't fit in. Well I think I proved not only do I belong but showed myself capable of making a difference in this company let's watch again how it all went down

A video airs showing how Swagger came from under the ring to turn the tables in the main event match. The crowd again unleash a chorus of boos.

Bischoff comes out with a big smile on his face. He goes into the ring and begins to speak.

Yes Jack you did a fine job last week. You will have a match tonight, against this man

Oh and by the way, it will be for the newly erected Extreme Championship. Every match for this championship will have a stipulation-chosen by me. For the first match it's simply no disqualification...

After an ad break we are shown R. Truth talking to Konnan in the back. He blames Konnan for the loss to the Dudley Boyz last week. The segment ends with Truth knocking Konnan down with a punch.

Tag Team Tournament Match
The Prime Time Players are in the ring. Too Cool's music hits and we are ready for the match that will decide the tag team title match on next week's show. The Dudleyz are on commentary

Look, it's stupid, we are the most successful tag team of all time, what do we have to prove? It's a disgrace that we even have to compete. We are going to show everyone next week that there is nobody that can match us

The match begins and Darren Young is in control of Scotty 2 Hotty. He and Titus look very impressive and keep him in the ring for a long time. Scotty eventually gets the tag to Grandmaster Sexay and he turns the tables, Titus is thrown out of the ring and with Scotty still lying outside the ring, Sexay is on the 2nd rope but D'Von Dudley is on the apron. Sexay is distracted and Young picks him up and powerbombs him 1..2..and Scotty makes it back in to make the save. He does the Worm and Sexay hits him with the leg drop and gets the win. The Dudleys go into the ring and hit Sexay with the 3D. They inevitable get the tables and put Scotty through. The Dudleys definitely look favourites for next week.

Cuts to Bischoff in the back again on the phone to what seems like the owner. He reassures the owner that nothing bad will happen to any superstars tonight and everyone will be fit for next week. Sting is still a couple of weeks away from being able to compete.

Extreme Championship Match

Rhyno heads to the ring for his no DQ match for the Extreme Championship against Jack Swagger. As Swagger is walking to the ring he says that he should be competing for a title that's not a gimmick and that Rhyno is a joke.

The match begins with a lot of offense, both men are looking to impress clearly. After a while Swagger is in control, his arsenal of throws and quick movement leads to him getting the anklelock locked in. As it is locked in however Lex Luger begins to walk down from the ramp, looking Swagger right in the eye. Rhyno is holding on and when Luger gets to the apron is able to touch the ropes. Swagger goes out to confront Luger who throws him back into the ring. GORE! And Rhyno wins the belt!

After an ad break we see Eric Bischoff in his office-Bischoff has just got another call from the owner, he'll be at next week's show to overlook everything. Swagger comes in irate. Bischoff tells him it's ok and that he has booked Luger in a match with Lou Thesz as the main event tonight. He also tells Swagger that he was right last time, he doesn't have what it takes to compete at this level.

Adam Pearce is in the ring. He says that there is nobody on the roster who can match up to his experience of actual wrestling. He claims to be a 5 time world champion despite the fall in the prestige of the NWA championship. When someone like Arnold Schwarzenegger is handed contracts then something is wrong. He makes an open challenge to anyone in the locker room who thinks they can match up with someone as prestigious as him. The music hits:


El Hijo begins to speak in Spanish which Adam Pearce and the majority of this Louisiana crowd don't understand despite the large pop for El Hijo and the respect that they show. R-Truth comes out and tells them to stop their stupidity, now that he is a singles competitor he is up for the challenge. Konnan comes out and complains about Truth sucker punching him earlier. He says that he can translate for El Hijo if needs be and that the crux is that he is better than Adam Pearce, as is Konnan. Eric Bischoff comes out and says that Pearce wasn't supposed to reveal Arnie's contract to the crowd and that he might as well tell them now that he will be appearing next week. In the meantime there is a fatal 4 way right now, and the winner faces Rhyno next week for the Extreme Championship.

Fatal 4 Way for No. 1 contendership for the Extreme Championship
The match begins. Pearce is living up to his pre match confidence with an early onslaught. He clears R-Truth and El Hijo out of the ring and he and Konnan have some good spots. It switches up to Pearce and Truth after Truth takes Konnan out from behind to huge heat and throws him out of the ring. Truth and Pearce go at it for some time until Konnan and El Hijo both break into the ring at the same time. They clear out Truth and Pearce and stand up to each other. The crowd applauds as they get a taste of the two Mexican legends going at it. El Hijo begins his high flying offense. When Konnan whips him against the ropes El Hijo spies Truth getting to his feet outside the ring and flies out. Pearce sneaks up behind Konnan in the ring and knocks him down, he quickly gets up on the ropes and hits the splash and gets the 3 count. Pearce will face Rhyno next week!

AJ Styles is in Eric Bischoff's office. He asks Eric what the owner is like. Eric says that he has never actually met the owner, just had phone conversations with him. Styles says it will be interesting to see how it goes next week and if Eric was worried. Eric says that while the owner has all the money, this is his show. He asks Styles to accompany Lou Thesz down to the ring for his match tonight. Styles agrees. Thesz enters, he wants to know what is up with the rumours that Sting is in New Orleans. Bischoff says that Sting is at home and he is 100% sure of that. He tells them to head to the ring.

We see Luger on his way to the ring, he runs into Fergal Devitt. Devitt asks him if he needs any backup out in the ring tonight as Styles will be coming out with Thesz. Luger thanks him for the offer but says that he doesn't need any help. Devitt reminds him what Thesz was on the verge of doing to him last week before he pulled him out. Luger angrily says that that only happened because he was caught by surprise and keeps on walking.

MAIN EVENT: Lex Luger v Lou Thesz w/AJ Styles
Lou Thesz walks to the ring looking as dangerous as ever. AJ Styles will provide good backup too. Luger is really up against it. The video of Thesz attacking Luger after the tag match last week shows and it cuts to a smiling Thesz.

Luger walks to the ring with a determined look on his face. Despite the odds being against him he is going to put up a fight. As he enters the ring however Thesz immediately attacks him. Styles hops into the ring to assist in the assault. Fergal Devitt runs in and dives on Styles as they again start to brawl. The distraction of Devitt gives Luger a lease of life and he is able to fight off Thesz. Luger gets up and is determined to start the match despite clearly nursing a rib injury from the attack. Devitt and Styles are broken up and removed from the ring and sent to the back so the main event can get underway for real.

The match begins as expected, with Thesz on top and focusing the attack on the ribs. Despite some glimpses of resistance from Luger, eventually Thesz is able to wear him away and pick up the win with the STF. After the match Thesz takes the mic and says that if Sting is in New Orleans then he should be a man and come out. After a short pause Sting's music plays to a huge pop, is he here? The music runs and we see Thesz laughing in the ring.

You people all believed it! The oldest trick in the book and all you stupid people...

Thesz is cut off, he's been attacked from behind! It's not Sting, it's Ken Shamrock! What's he doing here?! He is unleashing a very real looking beating on Thesz, Jack Swagger runs down and is able to pull Thesz away from the manic Shamrock.

Shamrock picks up the mic. "Who's the most dangerous man now Lou?" The show ends as a shocked looking Thesz retreats.

Mr.Nice Guy

Monday Night Grappling



Week 1 show here.

Week 2 show here.

Previously on Monday Night Grappling...

- Alberto Del Rio proposed to Rosa Mendes.

- Dusty Rhodes returned and made Del Rio vs Flair for the World Title at Grapplemania; The Fabulous Freebirds were named number one contenders for the tag titles.

- Kharma debuted and came to the aid of her friend Aja Kong.

- Lita became number one contender for Trish's women’s title.

The show opens from Las Vegas, Nevada.

Commentators: Welcome to a special Vegas edition of Monday Night Grappling where matches tonight will be determined via a spin of the wheel from our G.M. Dusty Rhodes. Later you are invited to the live wedding ceremony of Alberto Del Rio and Rosa Mendes.

The show opens with the Horsemen theme and the MNG Legends Champion Barry Windham has the mic.



He is furious that Dusty Rhodes is the General Manager and says the Horsemen have been brought in here on a false promise. He says he should be the G.M. on behalf of the Horsemen. The other Horsemen try to calm him down but it’s not working. He screams for Dusty Rhodes to get his big ass out here right now or he will hold up the show all night if need be.

Dusty’s face appears on the screen. He is backstage and he is not happy.

Dusty: Let me tell you something, Barry Windham. You don’t call the shots around here. I am the General Manager as that is the contract I signed. You Horsemen ain’t holdin up anything, daddy.

Matter of fact it seems to me that you Horsemen have been restin’ on them laurels way too long as it is. I reckon one of you needs to be in action right here tonight.

(fans cheer)

Dusty: So here’s what will happen. I have here a little Four Horsemen wheel (it has all four of their faces on it) and whatever face it lands on will defend his championship here tonight.

(The Horsemen aren't happy but Dusty spins away and it lands…on…Barry Windham.)

Dusty: Well…well…it seems you’re fired up tonight so let’s see who you are facing (he turns to a bigger wheel with all the other male wrestlers featuring)… and it lands…on…Magnum T.A.

Windham: I ain’t facing Magnum T.A. for my Legends belt. This is not happening!

Dusty: Oh but it is, Barry. And let me tell you: if any of you Horsemen interfere you will be stripped of the Legends title and Magnum will be the new champion. And that match is going to happen RIGHT NOW! Get a ref out there.

Match 1 – Magnum T.A. vs Barry Windham (c ) (MNG Legends Title)

The ref ejected the other Horsemen. The commentators put over how this was a great way to begin the Dusty era.

The match was a fantastic back and forth match that went around thirty minutes with Magnum selling the injuries he suffered at the hands of Rush last week. The finish saw each man counter a series of pinning combinations and as Windham went for a piledriver, Magnum turned it into a sunset flip for the 1-2-3.

Winner and new MNG Legends Champion: Magnum T.A.

Commentators: Magnum’s return to the squared circle has been made complete. Windham can’t believe it. He’s storming off to confront Dusty. What a start to the new era!

(commercial break)

*backstage segment* Windham was in the Horsemen’s locker room trashing it. Arn and Tully were trying to restrain him from going to confront Dusty. Windham said Dusty Rhodes had a vendetta against him. Flair put his arm around him and told him to remember their plan. Flair said the Horsemen always get the last laugh. Windham calmed down.

*backstage segment* Dusty informed British invasion they would be taking on the Irish Boot Camp rookies tonight.



Magnus asked why and Dusty said Finlay requested the match. Magnus said this could be beneficial and reiterated they want Finlay in their group. Doug Williams spun a wheel to determine the match type. It landed on tables match. British invasion smiled and left.

Rush then stormed in and asked why Magnum got a title shot and not him.



Dusty said Rush is suspended for attacking Magnum T.A. last week and he should be lucky he’s still got a job. Rush threatened to cause problems for the wedding ceremony later on but Dusty warned that would be a very bad idea. Rush left.

Match 2 - Tables Match: British Invasion vs Scangster Mickey Fitt & Fibber (w/Old Donal)

The rookies did well early on as coach Finlay applauded and encouraged from outside. The white haired old flutist Old Donal could be heard playing Irish rebel tunes which seemed to give strength to the hairy 6 foot seven beast, Fibber.

Eventually however the experienced Brits began to take control and they set up a table in the corner as Mickey Fitt called for the tag. He got it and came in hitting his white runner stomp and his chicken head strut into an elbow.

Just when it looked like the rookies may pull off the upset, Williams pulled out a photograph of Eamon de Valera and began to burn it, sending Fibber into a rage. He chased Williams outside and Magnus hit a spear on Mickey Fitt through the table for the win.

Winners: British Invasion

Magnus got on the mic afterward and said with Finlay on their side, no one – not even the Horsemen – could mess with them. He challenged Finlay to a match at Grapplemania involving one of his rookies where if Finlay loses, he has to join British Invasion. Magnus and Williams then left.

(commercial break)

Monday Night Grappling: Irish Boot Camp



After the break Finlay put over the effort of both rookies in the match. They worked hard unlike the other rookie – Southside socialite Foxy Rock. Finlay said he had to eliminate one of them and he chose...Foxy Rock

She said he was an idiot and a scobie like the other two and hoped the Brits beat Finlay up.

Foxy Rock has been eliminated

Finlay said next week the two remaining rookies - Scangster Mickey Fitt and Fibber - would fight against each other and the winner would earn a contract.

(commercial break)

*backstage promo* Rosa Mendes was seen backstage in a wedding dress (bit short, but if you’ve got it flaunt it). Women’s Champion Trish walked in wearing a rather plain looking dress (Rosa didn’t want to be overshadowed maybe). Rosa thanked her for agreeing to be the maid of honour. Trish says it’s what friends are for.



Lita arrived and said she guessed she’s not invited. Rosa says it’s close friends only and she and Trish laughed. Lita asked Trish why she didn’t help her last week when Beth and Natalya attacked her. Trish laughed it off and said a champion has things to do. Lita said she won’t be champion for long and said Trish obviously doesn’t care about their friendship any more.

Trish asked what would Lita know about friendship and called her a selfish bitch. They got into a catfight and Rosa kept her distance. (Couldn’t ruin the dress)

(Commercial plugging Grapplemania in two weeks)

*backstage segment*



A limo arrived and Alberto Del Rio stepped out looking suited and booted. The Fabulous Freebirds stepped out afterwards and were also in suits. Hayes clapped Del Rio on the back and said it’s nearly showtime.

Match 3: ‘Best of enemies’ - Aja & Beth vs Natalya & Kharma



We were told the wheel had forced the two teams to be mixed up and face off but the match never got started as a big brawl kicked off. Kharma and Aja seemed to get the better of things and Beth and Natalya withdrew. Kharma got a mic and challenged the Divas of Doom to a tag team elimination match at Grapplemania. They accepted.

*backstage segment* Dusty was in a suit and talking to Magnum T.A. He congratulated Magnum on becoming the new MNG Legends Champion.



Magnum said he owed a lot to Dusty and said his only wish was to get payback on Rush for attacking him last week. He urged Dusty to lift Rush’s suspension and make a match between himself and Rush for the title at Grapplemania. Magnum wanted it as No Holds Barred. Dusty was surprised by the request but agreed.

Dusty’s phone rang. Del Rio and the Freebirds walked in. Dusty seemed agitated on the phone. He ended the call and said his old truck has been impounded. Freebirds said that was weird – a little too weird - and Dusty agreed and asked if someone could give him a ride to the impound lot. Magnum said he would.

Del Rio was concerned those two wouldn’t be there and said Dusty was the best man. Dusty said no; he found someone else to do that job – for one night only. Freebirds smiled and Del Rio was confused at this. What are they up to?

*backstage segment* Rush met Rosa. He asked if she was really going through with this. She said of course. Rush said he wished she wouldn’t. Rosa turned to look at him but he left.

Final Segment: WEDDING CEREMONY - Alberto Del Rio & Rosa

We return from break and see the ring set up for the wedding.

Flowers are placed everywhere, love songs fill the arena and the Freebirds and Trish Stratus are awaiting the bride and groom. Old Donal – the white haired flutist and handler of the rookie beast Fibber – is hosting the ceremony. He used to be a priest, apparently. Fans have signs saying ‘Don’t do it, Alberto’ and ‘Rosa sucks’.

Alberto Del Rio steps out – no theme music, though; this is a serious moment. He stands in the ring a little shy and nervous. Still no best man there. The wedding march then hits.



Rosa steps out on the ramp – there are boos but she is grinning widely. So is Alberto. She steps carefully through the ropes and stands beside Alberto.

Dusty’s face appears on screen and he says this is a pre-recorded message for Alberto. He wanted to surprise Alberto with his best man. He is someone who belongs to BWA but for one night only will appear on Monday Night Grappling. He says ‘Come on down Ricardo Rodriguez!’



Out steps Ricardo and would you believe it there is tears in his eyes. Alberto’s too. Rosa however doesn’t look too impressed. The fans rise to their feet and cheer him as he steps through the ropes and extends his hand – Alberto shakes his head. A handshake won’t do: he hugs his best pal. Sometimes a little man love is okay. Fans are cheering and it seems everyone – except Rosa – is delighted at the scene.

We move on to the ceremony. Alberto pledges to love Rosa and vice-versa. You know these weddings. Then we get to ‘If anyone here has any reason why these two should not be joined in holy matrimony…let them speak now or forever hold their peace.’

(Fans look up the aisle to see if anyone will appear but no one does. So we push on…)

Old Donal: By the power vested in me I pronounce you husband and wife…you may kiss the bride.

Commentators: There it is, folks. Mr and Mrs Alberto Del Rio. Congratulations to them. Let’s see that kiss…

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jCaIG6ep8k

Ric Flair steps out onstage. Barry Windham, Tully Blanchard and Arn Anderson flank him. Flair is putting a tissue to his eyes in mock fashion pretending to be crying.

Flair: Oh boy. Weddings make me cry. Not as much as the divorces but almost.

You know, Del Rio…you thought you got the better of the Horsemen last week. And I’ll give you credit amigo…you did get the better of us. But you’re not the only one who has kept secrets…

(Del Rio looks on; glaring.)



Flair: You’ve been having a lot of financial problems, Alberto. Poor financial transactions; money disappearing; and you’ve felt suspicion that your lady friend Rosa was responsible in some way. Well Senor…you weren’t wrong. Rosa was responsible for giving away a lot of your money. What you don’t know is where that money went. Well I’ll tell you: most of it went…to me.

(Del Rio turns to Rosa whose head is bowed low)



Flair: Think about it, amigo! This company was on its knees. Even with all the owner’s remaining funds he couldn’t afford to finance the lifestyle of the Four Horsemen. He needed someone – a sap – to use his own money to keep the company alive. That sap was YOU. Alberto Del Rio…your money has been doing more than just keeping this company afloat…you have been financing the Four Horsemen all along. You shouldn't have given your woman that authority, brother. As you were going bankrupt…we were riding limousines. As you were struggling to keep your electricity going…we were flying in jets. As you were visiting lawyers asking for time…I was busy romancing the lovely Rosa Mendes. Come on down, gorgeous.

(Rosa lifts up her head and smiles. She walks out of the ring and up the aisle as Del Rio looks on in shock. Flair puts his arm around her).



Flair: It was all part of our plan: to bleed you dry and take complete control. Rosa was passing on your money and I wined and dined her on your credit cards. Now that you went and married one of my girlfriends – and ignored my advice of a pre-nup by the way – that means Rosa here is entitled to 50% of your earnings - God bless America! And I can promise you Del Rio…you will not keep your head afloat for very long now.

So it goes like this: you give up your title shot against me at Grapplemania – and Dusty Rhodes gives up his position as General Manager – and maybe…just maybe…I will keep you from becoming penniless. You think about it. You have one week to let me know.

As for right now…it’s time for the Horsemen to celebrate…



(Flair then lifts up Rosa’s veil and plants a big oul’ smooch on her lips as Del Rio collapses to his knees in despair. Ricardo and the Freebirds try to rouse him. The Freebirds want to fight – but Del Rio can’t move. He is heartbroken.)

Commentators: Flair has taken everything from Del Rio. He took away his dream of being World Champion in week one; now it turns out he has taken Del Rio’s fortune – and his new bride too. Del Rio is a broken man. What will he do? Will he make it to Grapplemania?

The show ends.

Furious-Red

Show Two


Opening Segment:

The new FWC world champion Edge comes out to a chorus of boos as he smirks and struts towards the ring holding the championship. He goes to say that he can’t believe that every one bought that he was injured during the match, It was the oldest trick in the book but they don’t call him The Ultimate Opportunist for nothing. This would bring out Jeff Hardy to a massive ovation , he quickly gets to the point and says he wants to face Edge for the World Championship , one on one right now!!!! Edge said he will decide when and where he will defend the title . Joseph Park comes out to correct Edge that he is not the one who will decide when/where or who he will face for the championship . He says the next time Edge will defend the championship will be in the Main Event at FWC’s biggest PPV of the year “Redemption” . But he cannot say that Jeff will be his challenger since in tonight’s main event Jeff will face an opponent of Parks choice and the winner of that match will face Edge at the PPV
.
Backstage Segment:
Jericho is shown arriving to the arena , but is met by Storm who wants a piece of Jericho so they start brawling around the backstage area until they are broken up . Jericho would somehow break away and hit a low blow on Storm as he was then dragged away screaming.

Opening Match:
Sin Cara vs Lance Storm
Great back and forth action from 2 top cruiserweights in the industry. Sin Cara would start off with the offence but after a slip up on the top rope allowed Storm to take advantage. He started to work down Caras leg weakening it down for the single leg boston crab. Storm would keep working on Caras leg , until he would reverse a german suplex and hit a springboard dropkick . After this Cara would gain control once again taking down with numerous ariel moves. Just as it looked like Cara was about to finish Storm off , but Kenny King would hit the ring and cause a distraction allowing him to lock in the single leg boston crab for the win

Winner via Submission: Lance Storm

Post Match: King and Storm would start to beat down on Sin Cara until Kofi would hit the ring and clear house . As Storm and King are walking back up the ramp Park comes on the titantron to announce that at “Redemption” there will be a 4 way ladder match to determine the new FWC Intercontinental Champion featuring Kofi Kingston/Lance Storm/Sin Cara/Kenny King

Second Match
James Storm vs Chris Harris
This match started off with a very aggressive James Storm and would take it all out on his former AMW tag team partner, this match wouldn’t last long as only a few seconds later Storm would hit the Last Call superkick for the win

Winner: James Storm

Post Match: Storm would demand that Jericho get his ass out here right now so he can drag his ass all around the arena. Jericho doesn’t come out but does appear on the tron and says he has no problem coming out to the ring right now but is going to take the night off and relax in his premier dressing room for the rest of the show. There is a knock on the door and Joseph Park would enter (Wearing a Fozzy t-shirt) and announce that he wont be able to give him the night off since he has already booked him in a match against the Monster Abyss. He does tell Storm that if he gets involved in the match he will be suspended on the spot. Jericho begs to be taken out of the match but Park says its too late because Abyss is moments away from walking to the ring

Third Match
Abyss vs Chris Jericho
Jericho spends the start of the match trying to escape from the ring but eventually would get caught by Abyss. Abyss would use his size and strength to his advantage by taking control of Jericho until when Abyss was come off the middle rope but Jericho would move and hit a lionsault for a 2 count. Jericho would keep beating down on Abyss and working on his back. Just as it looked like Jericho had Abyss locked in the Walls of Jericho, James Storms music would hit as Storm would walk out and just stared down at Jericho, But as Jericho would turn around and get hit with a black hole slam for the 3 count

Winner: Abyss
Post Match: Storm would hit the ring and brawl with Jericho , but only for Jericho to barely get out of the ring and through the crowd.

In Ring Segment:
Madison Rayne and Gail Kim come to ring saying that they are pissed off that there are no other women on the roster to fight them , but at the same time they are no surprised that every female would be scared of them . This brings out Kaitlyn who said there may not be any other females on the roster , but she is here and she wants to fight either one of them next week . Gail said you will regret this but we will see you next week for the worst week of her life , Kaitlyn double clotheslines both women and walks back up the ramp as Gail and Madison scream at her

Main Event
Jeff Hardy vs Austin Aries
Jeff Hardy comes out to a massive reaction as he awaits for his opponent. The crowd go crazy as they are shocked that Austin Aries has jumped ship to FWC and Hardy is even more shocked to see Aries . Both me lock up and both try to outdo each other with their ariel attacks. Aries would gain the control for the start of the match by knocking Hardy out of ring and following it up with a suicide dive to Hardy . Aries would work over hardy and follow it up with numerous pin attempts . Hardy would eventually turn the tables and make a comeback and nearly get a close pinfall when he would hit a whisper in the wind . Both men would still go at it but Jeff would hit the twist of fate and go up to the top rope for the swanton bomb but as he was about to come off the rope , Aries would run up the ropes and hit a hurricarana . Both men were down , then Edge would hit the ring and hit a spear on both men to cause a disqualification .

No Winner

He got on the mic and said that looks like neither men are up to facing him at FWC Redemption so there is no point in him turning up . But Joseph Park would come out and say that he was afraid that this might happen so because of Edges interference the Main Event at Redemption will now be a Triple Treat for the FWC Championship Edge(c) vs Jeff Hardy vs Austin Aries . Both Aries and Hardy would get back on their feet and double team edge with Aries hitting a brainbuster followed by Hardys Swanton Bomb . The show goes off the air as both men look at the championship and each other

Bounty Hunter

Having raided the WWE's production upon it's disintigration almost 5 years ago at the time of the first boards draft the BWA are expected to put out a top class promo package. The Royal Rumble is no different and as we go on air the live crowd at home get pumped up to see the World Champion (Mitsuharu Misawa) defend his title against the man who wants to be Chairman, and will be if Bounty Hunter does not resurface within the next 24hrs, Alberto Del Rio Sr. Tonight we will also see the Motor City Machine Guns put their tag team titles on the line against Jake "The Snake" Roberts and a partner of his choosing, but who will he pick? The Intercontinental title will also be defended by Kenta Kobashi but it's his career deciding announcement that is really built up in the video before talk turns to the Royal Rumble match itself and the numbers game as one by one you hear from BWA wrestlers from Stone Cold to Bob Sapp as their throw their names into the hat for the rumble and claim they will headline BWA Wrestlemania.

If you have not seen them yet these two shows recap the past year building to the rumble in more detail, Part 1 & Part 2

Welcome to the BWA Royal Rumble


The Pyros go off, the crowd goes wild and we begin our PPV at a brisk pace with the arrival of the Intercontinental champion Kenta Kobashi who gets a great reception from the BWA audience in attendance. His opponents however recieve quite the opposite.

Intercontinental title triple threat match
New Jack vs Kenta Kobashi (c) vs Mustafa Seed

A tougher encounter than it may seem on paper for the IC champ as both his opponents team up for the majority of this match. Despite this and much to the crowds amusement Kobashi fights back and actually gets on top of the two man onslaught as he finds himself able to one by one toss his opponents over the ropes and to the outside. The crowd reaction gets to New Jack who starts screaming at fans at ringside before doing what is now almost become his trade mark move and spitting into the face of one member of the crowd (a plant?!?). The place then erupts in a torrent of abuse being directed his way.

Back in the ring Mustafa Seed is back going 1 on 1 with Kobashi but struggling against the impresive IC champ when New Jack gets back into the ring only to be confronted by the ref who tells him if he trys something like that again he will be DQ'd from the match at which point he promptly spits in the refs face too before going to try and assist his partner who has just been knocked down by Kobashi's Burning Lariat forearm. The ref grabs New Jack by his shoulder and turns him around to face him before wiping the spit from his face and ordering the Gangsta member out of the ring and match. Jack doesent take this well and backs the ref into the corner but before he can do anything else Security grab him and pull him out of the ring.

As Mustafa Seed rises to his feet he is distracted by the sight of his tag partner struggling with security at ringside and turns right into Kobashi who delivers his Black Crush Vertical suplex cutter for the 3 count victory.

Winner: Kenta Kobashi

After the match the struggle between New Jack and security continues until he & Mustafa Seed are escorted to the back while the crwod chant na na na na, na na na na heyyyyyyy goodbye. Eventually they quiet down long enough to give Kobashi who now has a mic in hand a chance to address them

-In ring Segment w/Kobashi-

"For quite some time I have been struggling to make a decision, a decision that would change my life forever as I am not one of those people who will crave the spotlight so much I have to come back time and time again. If I retire, I will stay retired. Even now that I have made my decision I must admit it is really hard to say it aloud because as I look around this arena at you great BWA fans all I can think is...Thank you! ... you have made these past years in the BWA the best years in my long career and are the reason this has been such a difficult choice."

*The crowd go through a string of chants (Thank you Kenta, Don't go Kenta & 1 more match* as the commentators quip "looks like he's calling it a day folks*

Kobashi looks like he may almost tear up as he continues "I have decided... that... I am going to retire! (a small minority in the crowd begin to boo until) but you have not seen my last match!

*huh the crowd and announce teams gasps can be clearly heard as everyone in the arena tries to work out what he is saying.

"I am the Intercontinental champion, and this great and prestigious belt needs nay deserves to be defended until someone worthy enough can take it from me, until that day I will wrestle on"

[We are then brough backstage briefly as Jake Roberts is intervieed and asked who he was able to get to be his partner tonight when he will challenge for the Tag Team Titles. He reminds everyone of how Jado & Gedo tried to screw him last week with the selection of his Snake "Damian" as his partner and says that tonight he doubts the interm GMs will be so happy when they see the debut of this team of Snakes... the camera then zooms out to show the Rattlesnake SCSA sitting in the lockeroom next to Jake knocking back a few brewski's]

BWA tag titles no.1 contenders
Bob Sapp & Bobby Lashley vs The Eliminators

The following is a brutally physical encounter with Bob Sapp dominating the early going against John Kronos but when Kronos is able to tag in his partner Perry Saturn we are treated to the good side of him once more. It seems enforced time away from The Gangsta's (as they are his opponents) has cleared his head and he is able to put on a showing of wrestling fundamentals 101 that both has the fans chanting his name and infuriates The Beast unleashed. Sapp is angered even more so when Lashley unexpectidly tags himself into the match forcing Sapp to watch from the sidelines.

Kristal is up on the ring apron shouting encouragement at her man and her presence does initally pay off with Saturn having to stop himself from hitting her after at one point being whipped hard into the ropes next to her allowing Bobby to catch him with a spear. Lashley only gets a 2 count though and as the two rise to their feet afterwards he goes for his Dominator running front powerslam to finish things but Saturn is able to wriggle free and instead hit his Moss-Covered Three-Handled Family Gradunza Swinging cradle suplex for a 2 count of his own. Again they rise together but this time Lashley gets a few right hands in as they do allowing him time to slingshot himself against the ropes and go for another spear on Saturn.

Perry is able to step out of the way at the last second however and Lashley goes flying into his lovely wife Kristal who was still on the ring apron. Completely distraught Lashley takes his eye off the prize momentarily and Saturn capitalizes with a roll up pin from behind. Kronos has to literall sacrafice his body to ensure Sapp doesent get to them in time to break up the pin but 1, 2, 3! and we have a pinfall victory and new no.1 contenders for the tag team titles.

Winners: The Eliminators

After the match Bob Sapp is enraged and even tosses the ring steps nearest him at Bobby Lashley who along with Kristal he clearly blames for once again costing him championship gold here tonight. He misses but didn't wait around for more and instead stomped off up the ramp while Lashley continued to check on his wife as the Eliminators celebrated in the ring.

---

-Backstage segment with Misawa, Jado & Gedo in which Misawa points out that although he likes hearing that Stone Cold has a match tonight as well as the Rumble he does question if allowing him & Jake Roberts, the two men who have chastised him for a title shot more than any others, team up together is wise, surely you don't want them winning the titles and getting momentum before tonight's Royal Rumble match. They however insist they have a plan that will see Stone Cold and that miscreant Roberts taught a lesson in their match.

BWA tag title No DQ match
The Motor City Machine Guns vs Jake Roberts & Steve Austin

The announcement of this match as a No DQ match comes as a surprise to most in the arena but not to the two snakes as they make their way down to the ring, they are used to the odds being stacked against them and no doubt this was the actions of interm bookers Jado & Gedo.

It isn't long before the reason for the stip becomes apparent but before then the MCMGs actually impress and show themselves as the much more cohesive unit employing a number of quick tags, isolating and wearing down their opponents (mostly Jake) and performing some exquisite double team moves such as their Skull and Bones (Falling neckbreaker (Sabin) / Diving crossbody (Shelley) combination) slam.

When Austin gets tagged in things change quickly though. As momentum switches towards team Snake as the stip suddenly came into play with the arrival of Jado, Gedo, and BWA champion Mitsuharu Misawa arriving to ringside essentially turning this into a one sided Lumberjack match. While the match continued in ring Rocky Marciano also made his way out to the ring with the commentaters suggesting he was here to keep the champ and Austin seperate. His meer presence seemed to accomplish this as anytime Austin was thrown from the ring (and as the MCMGs were playing smart this was regular) him approaching the area seemed to cause Jado & Gedo to throw him back in after of course they and the world champ got a number of shots in first.

despite this Austin was able to hit Shelly with a stunner and gain an advantage even if not the pinfall as Misawa placed the fallen gun's leg on the ropes. Austin tags in Jake lift Shelly up and flings him against the ropes following him immediately for a big shoulder charge but his opponent drops to the mat to avoid it and Misawa again gets involved pulling down the top rope causing Austin to crash to the outside. unfortunately Austin lands righ on top of Rocky Mariano who isnt best pleased and as a result when Austin gets back to his feet he is subject to several heavyweight rights and lefts which leave him in a heap on the floor before the man who was supposed to be there to help avoid the creation of such a situation for Austin turns and heads up the ramp.

Not exactly Austin's best mate or anything but Jake can't help but be distracted by the goings on outside especially as Misawa now takes advantage of the downed Rattlesnake hitting him with a tiger driver on the steel ramp before he and the interm GMs make their exit. Jake is distracted and left 1 on 2 with the tag team champs and despite his best efforts the man still calling himself the WECWF champion can't keep up and is eventually finished off by another of their famous double team moves this time the ASCS Rush (Spinning sole kick by Sabin followed by a superkick from Shelley and then finished with a simultaneous jumping enzuigiri by Sabin / superkick by Shelley combination. 1, 2, 3! and still the champs

Winners: The Motor City Machine Guns

-We are then brought backstage where our roving reporter Josh Matthews tries to get a word in with Bob Sapp but the enraged Beast of a man pushes him out of the way as he storms into his dressing room where his tag partner Bobby Lashley is waiting for him and immediately starts pleading his case apologizing for what happened in their match. Sapp isn't hearing any of it though and orders him "The hell away from me" repeatedly shouting "your push is over!" as the dejected Lashley leaves the area.

Moments later Kristal enters the dressing room looking for Bobby, but is outraged when Sapp tells her to "get her B*tch ass outta here" and sarcastically responds ooo im sooo sorry Mr Booker man before laughing at him and turning to leave but being stopped by Sapp who grabs her arm. At this point the door to the lockeroom is swung shut and Sapp can be heard to tell her, "You dont get to call me that B!tch, you can call me "The Health Inspector". To which a confused and now distraught Ms Lashley can only be heard to respond " how dare you, what, No! Bob Nooo! stop! ahh" as the camera outside the lockeroom door slowly fades to black and we return to ringside.

-Backstage Segment with Del Rio Sr & Ricardo-

Del Rio Sr reminds everyone of what happened to Stone Cold tonight and although he doesent think the champion would have the guts to stoop to that level against the man (himself) who after tomorrow night will not only be
the world champion but also the majority BWA shareholder he says Ricardo will have to be on his game tonight. He says that anything they can pull he wants Ricardo ready with something better to equal it.

BWA World heavyweight championship match
Alberto Del Rio Sr w/Ricardo vs Mitsuharu Misawa (c)

As this one begins the referee ejects Jado, Gedo & Ricardo from ringside much to the crowds pleasure as the announcers suggest we might actually get a fair one on one match up here especially with Rocky Marciano at ringside as usual for main event bouts.

Despite both men not being fan favourites the focus without outside interferance is kept on the ringwork here and that is top notch from both men and after around 10 minutes everyone is into this match up as we withness our first close call 2 count with Del Rio kicking out of Misawa's Tiger Body Press (better known as Frog Splash). minutes later it was DDR or Daddy Del Rio as many of the signs in the crowd call him hitting a big move in the form of sitout powerbomb which only gets a 2 count. The match came smashing down for DDR though when he literally hears glass smash as Stone Cold Steve Austin (who looks like he has gotten a few stitches just above his left eye) makes his way out for his now traditional attack on the champ (as they wont actually allow him a match with the champ). Marciano tussles with him and keeps him at bay initially but oddly the distraction helps the underhanded champion who uses the opportunity with the refs focus outside the ring to hit Del Rio with a low blow, which he follows up with a Tiger Driver before finally with a handfull of his opponents tights like a true heel champion he gets a 3 count.

Winner: Mitsuharu Misawa

right after having he hand raised though Misawa has to hightail it out of the ring as Austin has broken free of Marciano and made his way into the ring. Stone Cold swings at him but the champ just ducks through the ropes in time. When Austin turns around though Rocky is already in the ring behind him and has picked up the championship belt Misawa had left behind him. Whack! and Austin is knocked to the mat and his cut is busted wide open again, he does roll out of the ring after taking the shot though and stumbles to the back after Misawa, slowly Marciano follows them too.

After all the after match shenanigans Del Rio who had been recouperating at ringside makes his sad walk up the ramp with Ricardo coming out to him trying to console him when suddenly they and everyone in the arena are shocked to hear the music of the chairman, BWA's own Bounty Hunter hit the arena as the boss makes his way out. The two lock eyes in an intense stare down as BH heads to the ring and grabs a mic and Del Rio Sr gingerly heads to the back.

-In ring Interview segment with BWA chairman Bounty Hunter- he gets a great ovation from the live crowd who chant his name and "welcome back" for a good minute before he can speak.

"I'm going to make this brief as my doctors say I shouldn't even be here tonight but....I'm back and i'm in control! Now Del Rio, I hope you haven't gone too far because although I can't prove it I know you were behind what happened to me. My doctors said I had been poisoned and as much as many superstars here in the BWA might not always agree with how I run things nobody has as much to gain from taking me out than you. Nobody has tried to usurp my power in my absence but you and nobody is going to pay for your treachery but you.

You said tonight you would become world champion and then tomorrow night you would get control of the company, well it seems youve just been proven wrong on both counts and im going to ensure that you dont get another chance too. From now on anyone deserving of a title shot will get a title shot, we tried PG and it hasn't worked so your going to have to get back in line Del Rio cos I can afford to keep supporting this company on my own even without sponsors approval, I don't need you B!tch! (crowd pops)

but you are still a 40% shareholder in my company, and that, that just doesen't sit right with me. I can't prove you tried to poison me but god knows im not sitting in a boardroom with you, o no, we have to settle things... in the ring!!

I challenge you to defend your 40% in the ring at Wrestlemania against an opponent of my choosing. You lose, your out, out of the boardroom, out of my BWA ring and out of a job here. If you win, you can have my majority share you so desperately want. How about it, you got the guts to put your job and reputation on the line to get control?

The announce team celebrate the return of the chairman, talk up that huge announcement and wonder who the boss may have in mind to face Alberto Del Rio Sr with the fate of the company on the line at BWA Wrestlemania, for which we now get a promo package for. This details how this years Mania is the 5th anniversary of the BWA's first ever major PPV and will take place back in Madison Square Garden.

The Royal Rumble Match

The first superstar is announced as.... *Glass Smash* Stone Cold Steve Austin!

a great ovation but with so little rest and already battered and bruised he didn't want no.1 but hopefully he want have too hard a first opponent he hopes, but then as if this was scripted no.2 is announced in his first actual match....Rocky Marciano!

these two go at it hell for leather for near the full 2mins but Austin really does look the worst for wear after the 2 encounters earlier in the night and after a big right he is knocked clean through the middle ropes and out of the ring. The Ref is explaining to Marciano that Austin has not been eliminated as he has to go over the top rope and Rocky looks like he is going to go out and get him (through the middle rope of course) when the crowd suddenly go bat **** crazy as no.3 is announced as surprise entree and former BWA competitor Muhammad Ali.

Ali enters the ring and locks eyes with Marciano, the energy in the room is palpable and the two circle around preparing to face of in a pugilists wet dream. Suddenly they are at it both throwing and dodging jabs, before Marciano goes for a big uppercut. Ali bobs and weaves to avoid it but then peppers Rocky with some free flowing rights and has him on the ropes. the countdown begins for next entrant but everyones attension is on the ring when suddenly everyone is blindsided as Austin slides back into the ring and from behind lifts both boxers over the top rop as they tussle with each other. They both crash outside eliminated and then need security to seperate them and escourt them away from the ring.

next out was Jado but he waited at the top of the ramp for 2 minutes until no.5 is announced as Gedo and the two head to the ring to try and double team Austin. They did their best and after all the abuse he already taken tonight and against two men who hadnt had a match yet Austin did struggle when no.6 was announced as Jake Roberts the tables were turned on the interm GMs as the two snakes made quick work of them before Bobby Lashley was announced as no.7

*fast forward to the final four* - Stone Cold, Jake Roberts, Bob Sapp and Kenta Kobashi

The most notably parts in-between were when Perry Saturn eliminated New Jack using the same Kendo stick New Jack had brought into the ring or when Jake Kenta Kobashi eliminated Bobby Lashley right before Bob Sapp made his entrance and as the two crossed paths on the ramp Lashley was seen to once more try to apologize to Sapp for what had happened earlier that night only to have Sapp again push him away saying "your push is over" at which point the announcers speculated that maybe the scene backstage between Bob Sapp and Kristal wasn't as bad as it looked or maybe Bobby just doesent know about it yet.

refocusing our attension on the here and now though and Stone Cold is lying almost motionless in one corner as both Jake & Kobashi try to eliminate Sapp on the opposite side of the ring. Austin has really been through the ringer tonight and can barely stand up so is making the most of this rest period watching as Jake has Bob Sapp teetering on the edge. Kobashi joins him trying to eliminate the head Gangsta getting down low and sticking his head between Sapp's legs he uses his whole body to lift him up into an electric chair type situation. He then positions himself ready to dump his opponent to the outside only for Jake to surprise him with his Arm wrench short-arm clothesline knocking him backwards against the ropes. Sapp on his shoulder goes over the top rope but he isn't going alone as he takes Kobashi with him.

Jake then turns his attension towards his partner from earlier in the night but now the final man standing between him and main eventing Wrestlemania, the now badly injured Stone Cold. He calls for a DDT to take any last bit of fight out of the rattlesnake and lifts him to his feet only for Boom! Stone Cold Stunner out of nowhere and with a sudden burst of energy Austin is back up and on top of Jake who had collapsed onto the ropes after the Stunner and before he can get his mind back in the game Austin has used his last ounce of strenght to dump his opponent to the outside.

We have a winner and the crowd are loving it, Austin is going to headline Wrestlemania 1 more time.

SHOW TWO

Last time on C.I.W.

• Planet Jarret reformed as Monty Brown and Bobby Roode aligned themselves with Jeff Jarrett
• Killer Kowalski defeated Hallowicked and berated him for wearing a mask.
• Goldberg defeated John Cena when Deuce & Domino interfered and cost Cena the match.

The show kicks off with John Cena in the ring.

He laughs about how Deuce and Domino of all people decided to inject themselves into his match and cost him, and the fans, a once in a lifetime experience. He invites them out to the ring, but rather than the two greasers, it's CIW's owner Dave Shadow who steps out through the curtains. He tells Cena that he isn't happy about the result either, and as such, he wants to see Cena get revenge tonight. He says if Cena can find a partner, then tonight's main event will be a tag team match. Cena shakes his finger though and declines the part about finding a partner. Cena says he can take the duo on by himself. Shadow says it's his funeral and officially announces the handicap match up.

Match: Killer Kowalski vs Delirious (w/Hallowicked)

Kowalski starts off by berating Delirious for his ridiculous costume, with the masked man offering only ramblings back, which only serves to annoy Kowalski even more so. The two go back and forth for a few minutes. The end comes when Delirious goes for a leaping clothesline, only for Kowalski to catch him with a Kowalski claw. It looks bad, but Delirious rolls Kowalski up, and sneaks out a three count for the win.

Winner: Delirious

Backstage, Zema Ion is getting a coffee when Jeff Jarrett, Bobby Roode and Monty Brown surround him. He looks nervous but willing to fight. Brodus Clay walks up and warns the trio off, but they don't care and laugh at him, not afraid, knowing they have the numbers to win. That only lasts temporarily though, as Chuck Norris approaches them.

He warns them that they are not to lay a finger on anyone outside of a match or they'll face consequences. The trio acknowledge his rules, but as they walk off, they tell Clay and Ion they'll catch them when their mommy isn't there to help them. Norris orders them off the premises, giving them the night off to be safe. The camera watches as they walk out a door and disappear. Norris warns Clay not to worry bout them too much, because he's got a big match up next.

Match: Brodus Clay vs Akebono

It's a battle of the big men as Brodus and Akebono square up in the ring, pushing and shoving each other. They go for various slams but constantly block each other, neither wanting to let the other down him.

After a few minutes, a masked man jumps the barricade with a baseball bat and slides in, clocking Brodus Clay in the back, causing the DQ.

Winner: Brodus Clay

Another two appear from ringside and also start attacking him. Akebono stands and watches at first. Zema Ion runs down, trying for the save. He grabs at the mask of one man and pulls it off to reveal...

JR: It's Brown! But he was kicked out of here. And that means the other masked men...

... Roode and Jarrett pull off their masks too and attack Ion, beating him down to. Akebono continues to watch, taking in the violence. However, when Ion and Clay are left bloodied in the middle of the ring, the trio comprising Planet Jarrett turn their attentions to him, marking a bigger target. Akebono steps up, reading to fight. He takes a step forward and the three men leave, deciding not to bother with him. Akebono watches as Jarrett, Brown and Roode leave.

Cena is backstage warming up for his handicap match against Deuce N' Domino when Zack Ryder walks into shot. Ryder says that Cena might be Superman but he's not invincible, and given that he went through a tough match with Goldberg last week, maybe Cena would like some help against Deuce N' Domino; not because he needs help, but because he can have help. Cena thanks Ryder and shakes his hand. Cena says that it's personal with him and the two greasers, and he wants to teach them a lesson himself. One that involves his boot and their asses. Ryder says he understands and wishes Cena luck.

Match: Goldberg vs Santino

A very short squash match. Santino tries to crack a few jokes with Goldberg, who laughs....before spearing Santino out of his shoes. He picks Santino up and nails him with the Jackhammer for the three count.

Winner: Goldberg

Afterwards, Goldberg grabs a microphone and screams out.... "WHO'S NEXT?!?!"

The crowd all turn their attentions to the ramp and after a few seconds, they all start cheering.

KENTA strides out and down the ramp. He climbs into the ring, and, showing no fear, gets into Goldberg's face. Goldberg grins from ear to ear. JR and Lawler excitedly presume that KENTA is offically challanging Goldberg to a match up.

Match: John Cena vs Deuce N' Domino

Cena starts off with Deuce and easily throws him round the ring. After a few minutes of toying with him, Cena lets Domino tag in and he throws him round too. After a few minutes though, Domino distracts the referee long enough for Deuce to sneak in and hit Cena with a clubbing blow to the back of the head. Using the numbers game, the two manage to build an advantage and start beating down Cena. Every now and again, Cena looks to make a comeback but with no one to tag in, he can't get a breather.

Eventually, he nails Deuce with a shoulder block. Domino tries to come in but eats a shoulder block for his troubles too. When Cena tries for another on Deuce, he misses and hits the ref instead. Shocked, Cena doesn't see Domino grab a chain from ringside, and eats a shot right to the jaw. The two start beating down Cena as the referee stirs at ringside, still groggy.

Zack Ryder comes running down to help his friend, jumping up onto the apron. Cena hits a protobomb on Deuce and clotheslines Domino. Ryder pumps the crowd and starts begging Cena to tag him in. Cena realises what's happening and moves for the tag. He slaps Ryder's hand and Ryder jumps in.

Deuce grabs the ref to use as a human shield, holding him between Ryder and himself, the ref not facing towards Ryder. Ryder looks disappointed as Cena moves to help....only to eat a Rough Ryder! Ryder floors Cena with his finisher and rolls out of the ring. The ref has missed it, but Deuce doesn't miss his chance. He jumps on Cena, rolls him up and the groggy ref counts three.

Winners: Deuce N' Domino

The duo flee the scene up the ramp as Cena is left in shock for the second week running, losing another match. He comes to and looks up the ramp as Ryder raises the arm of Deuce and Domino. He makes a spiking his hair motion towards Cena as the greasers celebrate, ecstatic with their win. As the show ends, Cena is once again left wondering what has happened, but to the fans, it's becoming clear.

Zack Ryder and Deuce N' Domino have aligned themselves and have screwed John Cena once more.

A Primal Nut

Update from two previous weeks:

Bret Hart was fired after failing to gain his no.1 contendership after the Shield (Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns) attacked Bret in a match against the Big Show. The Rock insulted the fans. Bret Hart appeared from the crowd and attacked The Rock.

The 2MB Heath Slater and Jinder Mahal lost the tag team belts to the Natural Disasters.

Muhammed Hassan attacked Val Venis; then Marc Mero attacked both of them the following week.

The Shield attacked Mick Foley in a match against The Big Show. The Big Show denied any involvement with The Shield.
.....................................................................................
Intensity intro plays.

Commentator: Hello and welcome to Birmingham, Alabama for PWF Intensity. And security is tight, after the fired Bret Hart returned to attack The Rock last night; President Gorilla Monsoon is taking every step to make sure that Bret does not step foot into this arena tonight.

Marc Mero comes out first. He defeats Viscera in a one-on-one match.

Marc: For the last few years, I've been preaching Christianity all around the US. However I have yet to come back to my old profession to do it, so here I am. I see two guys who have not welcomed Jesus into their lives, that Ay-rab Muhammad Hassan and that pornstar non-believer Val Venis. I am here to show the truth to both of them and all the people watching around the world.

The crowd cheers.

Other Actor: I'm just saying my lines.

Rock: You are trying to outshine The Rock. Nobody, and The Rock means nobody, outshines The Rock. What's your name, jabroni?

Other Actor: Jo....

The Rock: It doesn't matter what your name is!!!!! Know your role and shut your mouth. Do the scene again, and this time don't try to outshine The Great One. Or The Rock will take that camera, turn that son-bitch sideways, and stick it up straight up your candy ass!!!

They start recording the scene again when all of a sudden....

Monday Night Grappling



Week 1 show here.

Week 2 show here.

Week 3 show (Wedding Special) here.

Previously on Monday Night Grappling...

- Alberto Del Rio married Rosa Mendes , but she then left him for Ric Flair

- Flair revealed Rosa had been using Del Rio’s money all along to finance the Horsemen’s lifestyle.

- Magnum T.A. won the Legends Title and asked for a match with Rush.

- It was announced the two rookie Boot Camp contestants would have a match to determine who gets a contract.

Before the show began, World Champ Ric Flair appeared on a video backstage. He held up two contracts. He said one was a contract for a title match against him at Grapplemania; the other was a cheque for $100,000 which he said Del Rio needed to avoid bankruptcy. If Del Rio wants the financial lifeline, he must sign away his title shot and Dusty Rhodes must hand power over to the Horsemen. He finished with a Woooo!

The show opens from Houston, TX.

Commentators: We are on the final stop before Grapplemania, but will Del Rio sign away his title shot? Will Dusty Rhodes hand over control to the Horsemen? What will happen tonight?

Dusty Rhodes came down to the ring and he was not happy.



Dusty said last week he got a call saying his car was impounded and while they claimed it was a misunderstanding – he knows better. He says the Horsemen got him out of the way so they could break Del Rio. Dusty said he doesn’t want to add to Del Rio’s problems and he will do what he can to help. Dusty told the audience that there’s a time to be a gentleman and a time to handle your business, and he shouted for Windham to get his ass out here right now. No Horsemen with him. Just him – man to man.

Windham came out alone and smiling.



He got in the ring and said he had nothing to do with Dusty’s truck being impounded. He did say the Horsemen always get the last laugh. He asked if Dusty was going to let his friend Del Rio wind up on the street? If not, sign over the company to him right now. Dusty said that wouldn’t happen, but said that the issues between them could and should be settled in the ring.

Dusty: So here’s the proposal: you and me one on one at Grapplemania. You want me to quit my job; I want you to quit gunning for my job. So let’s make it an I Quit match for control of the organisation. Winner takes all. What do you say?

(fans cheer)

Windham: That wasn’t the terms we offered you. (he steps out of the ring to boos and walks up the ramp)

Dusty: Wait a minute, Barry. This is the fairest way forward. You want this to go to the courts and take weeks and months to be resolved? Or do you want the opportunity to have all power in your lap next week?

(Windham considers, but turns and walks up the ramp)

Dusty: So you’re leaving, huh? You know what I think, Barry Windham? I think you’re yellow.

(Windham stops)

Dusty: I knew your fatha. I fought Blackjack Mulligan in matches across this land. He was not yellow. He handled his business like a man. He didn’t hide behind the Ric Flairs of this world.

Commentators: Windham’s face has gone pale.

Dusty: So yeah, you walk away kid. I said once you were one of the greatest talents in this business but I was wrong. You’re just a yellow, gutless bastard.

(fans: 'whoaaaaaa')

Windham: You want me at Grapplemania you son of a bitch? YOU GOT IT! YOU AND ME – I QUIT MATCH!

The fans cheer and Dusty smiles and nods as we go to a break.

Monday Night Grappling: Irish Boot Camp



Coach Finlay comes out and notes tonight we are down to the final two rookies:

‘The Scangster’ Mickey Fitt – Claims he is from the mean streets of Dublin's inner city. His three favourites things in life are ‘getting pissed, pissing off the Guards and bateing people's heads'.

Fibber Mac and his handler ‘Old Donal’ – Fibber is a big 6 foot seven, 350 pound grizzled looking beast. He has a handler - a white-haired old man with a tin whistle - Old Donal - who says he doesn’t know his real name or where he comes from but he found him outside the pub Fibber Magees and decided to call him that. Fibber grew up eating sheep raw and cold and hates the name Fibber as it reminds him of how he’s an unwanted bastard. Only Irish rebel tunes on the tin whistle can soothe his furious temper.

Finlay says the two will do battle and the winner will get the contract.

Match 1: Scangster Mickey Fitt vs Fibber

A match that was fought in a brawling style. Crowd chanted Fibber which was making the beast angry as he hates his own name. The flutist Old Donal played rebel tunes outside to help the monster re-focus.

The finish saw Fitt set up for his finisher - Scangster’s Paradise - only for Fibber to block it and hit his own finisher – the Fibberman Suplex – for the 1-2-3.

Winner and newest member of the MNG roster: Fibber

Mickey Fitt has been eliminated

After the match, Mickey Fitt thanked the company and Finlay for the opportunity and headed up the ramp. As he turned to say a last goodbye, Magnus and Doug Williams attacked with steel chairs laying him out on the ramp as Finlay looked on.

Magnus: Oi, you dumb Paddies! You got our answer or wot? We told you we want you in British Invasion, Finlay – it’s where you belong, really – and if you truly have confidence in that big ugly beast then how about you take me and Doug on at Grapplemania? If you lose, you join us Finlay? Have you Irish got a set or not?

Finlay: I accept your challenge.

As Magnus and Doug smile, the commentators wonder if Finlay has done the right thing here. Fibber is in the ring rocking back and forth as his handler Old Donal tries to soothe him with a rendition of ‘Foggy Dew’. Can this new and unlikely wrestler come through for his coach?

*backstage segment* The Freebirds meet Dusty and ask him why he is taking on Windham with the company on the line. Dusty says for two reasons: He doesn’t know if Del Rio will sign away his match but he doesn’t want to be a factor in Del Rio going bankrupt. The second reason is personal: he wants to kick his ass.

Freebirds ask if Dusty has spoken to Del Rio all week because they haven’t. Dusty says neither has he.

(commercial plugging Grapplemania next week)

*backstage segment* Rosa shows up on the arm of Ric Flair as they step out of a limo. A lackey runs up and asks what Flair thinks of Windham agreeing to take on Dusty in a match at Grapplemania? Flair doesn’t look pleased and heads off hurriedly.

Tout segment

Commentators: We’ve asked our fans to Tout us on what Del Rio should do tonight. Here are some of your thoughts:

Pimple-faced guy: I think Del Rio should sign away the title shot because even if he takes the match he still can’t touch Ric Flair. Woooo!

Goth girl: I think what Rosa and Flair did to Del Rio was terrible and I think like, uh… Del Rio should just take the match and ignore the bankruptcy thing, like…

Commentators: Fantastic contributions from the fans on Tout as always...

(commercial plugging The Marine IV: starring Beth Phoenix. Coming this autumn.)

*backstage segment* Rosa walks into Dusty’s office. She said she heard he wanted to see her. Dusty said he’s seen some heartless women over the years but she takes the biscuit. She’s a Jezebel.

Rush walks in and says he loved seeing Rosa break Del Rio’s heart last week.



Dusty says Rush has had it in for Del Rio for weeks. Says the two men can have a match tonight and settle the score. Rush is not happy but Rosa says she will be there with him at ringside.

Dusty says no - Rosa has a match tonight herself – she turns around and Lita is standing there. Lita says she’s been involved in wedding ceremonies on TV herself but what Rosa did was too much. Rosa laughs and leaves with Rush. The match is coming up.

*backstage segment* Flair and Arn and Tully aren’t happy that Windham took the match with Dusty for the control of the company. Flair says they should have stuck to the plan. Windham says no one calls him yellow like Dusty did and gets away with it. Arn and Tully argue with Barry some more but Flair cuts them off. He says Del Rio won’t take the title shot against him and as long as Windham wins at the PPV everything will be in place.

Rosa enters and asks Flair to join her for the match against Lita but Flair says he has too much on his plate. She argues the point but Flair tells her to leave. She curses him in Spanish.

Match 2: Lita vs Rosa Mendes

The number one contender Lita is looking good as she dominates most of the match. Rosa is in trouble until Rush comes down and decides to stay at ringside. The fans aren’t happy but out comes Legends Champion Magnum T.A. – Rush’s opponent at Grapplemania – and the two men get nose to nose.



A big brawl follows and lots of security men rush down and drag the two of them away as they fight and tear at one another.

In the ring, Lita hits the twist-of-fate and a moonsault for the victory.

Winner: Lita

Rosa appeared to hurt her neck after the match. She was helped away.

Out from the crowd, Trish Stratus - Women’s champion - hits a Trish Kick on Lita and lays her out. She beats on Lita with fists and stomps and grabs a microphone.

Trish: Lita, you and I embodied the previous decade in WWE. We made history by main eventing an episode of Raw; I had a retirement match against you; but in Monday Night Grappling, there can be only one of us. At Grapplemania I prove to you once and for all that I am the greatest diva of our generation.

She holds up the title as the fans boo. We go to commercial.

(commercial break)

*backstage* Dusty is with Rush and restraining him. He wants to destroy Magnum. Says Magnum is an old timer who will be beaten by this young stallion. Dusty reminds him he has a match tonight against Del Rio and he fights Magnum at Grapplemania. Someone comes in and says come quick – Aja Kong is being attacked. Dusty shakes his head and wonders why anyone would want this job.

---

Beth and Nattie are seen stomping on Aja Kong’s leg. She is clutching it. They scream they are the dominant divas in the company. There is a chair against a door and Kharma is heard trying to break through – obviously Beth and Natalya have locked her in while they assault her partner.

Dusty arrives on the scene and says to stop or they will be suspended. The Freebirds are there also trying to help. Suddenly Kharma kicks through the door and Beth and Natalya back away sharpish as Dusty tries to break up yet another brawl!

(promo hyping Grapplemania)

Back from break, the Horseman music plays. Arn and Tully come out and say they are looking forward to Grapplemania and kicking some Freebird ass.



Blanchard notes there is some history between the four men but that they never had the chance to have the truly iconic battle that they should have had – their careers diverged and the rivalry never was properly settled – but at Grapplemania it will be settled.

Arn says to Tully that they shouldn’t wait until the PPV – let’s fight tonight.

Commentators: I think they know the Freebirds are trying to stop the brawls backstage and that’s why they are making this challenge. They don’t really want a fight.

The Freebirds come down and Hayes says that’s correct: the rivalry was never truly settled, but at Grapplemania it will be.

Gordy says if they want to fight then they can fight. They head down the ramp but Dusty appears on the titantron and asks the Freebirds to respect his authority and wait until Sunday. He has enough brawls to deal with. They want to fight but they respect Dusty so they leave as Arn and Tully taunt and scream that they are chickens!

(commercial break)

A cab arrives – Alberto Del Rio steps out – he is not wearing his usual suit; there is no golden trunks. He is instead wearing black gear and his hands are wrapped – it resembles his old MMA attire. He pulls out a grimy twenty dollar note and pays the driver.

A lackey runs up and asks what Del Rio will do tonight; Del Rio ignores him. He walks on. He looks ready for a fight.

Main Event match: Alberto Del Rio vs Rush

Rush enters first. He is ready for a fight and is pissed off. Del Rio enters next. He walks to the ring in his MMA attire. Rush is screaming as Del Rio enters the ring completely motionless. The bell rings and Del Rio explodes from the corner with vicious kicks and fists.

Commentators: I’ve never seen Del Rio like this before. This is like a new man.

The match itself went about fifteen minutes. Rush seemed taken aback by Del Rio’s early flurry of offence but got back into it. The finish saw Rush go high risk with a moonsault but Del Rio moved and locked in the armbar – Rush tapped out.

Winner: Alberto Del Rio

After the win Del Rio kept the move locked on and didn’t want to release it. He did after several efforts by the referee as Rush hobbled out of the ring clutching his arm. Del Rio sat on his knees after the win breathing deeply. He then got a mic and said he knows Flair is back there. Let’s get this over with.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jCaIG6ep8k

Flair came out alone. He had the two contracts in his hand and a big smile on his face.

Ric Flair: Helluva performance, amigo!

Obviously what happened at your wedding last week lit a fire under you. But I’d advise against putting your hands on me. I have here two documents – one is a contract for a match at Grapplemania – the other is a cheque for $100,000 to keep you from going bankrupt. Your wife Rosa – who I hear is being taken to a medical facility the poor thing – she has assured me she is willing to avoid taking a sizeable portion of money from you in any divorce proceedings you wish to make against her. So what’s it going to be, Alberto?

(Del Rio takes the cheque in his hand as the fans scream ‘Noooooo’. He takes the pen from Flair’s hand as they again scream ‘Noooooooo’. He hovers it over the cheque as Flair grins.)

Flair: That’s it. Just sign right there and you get the cash you need.

(Del Rio brings the pen over the paper. He does it. Flair does his strut in the ring as the fans boo. Flair is wooing and going crazy. Flair takes the cheque but stops in his tracks with a confused look on his face)

Flair: (turning it slowly around) You didn’t sign it.

(Del Rio does his trademark wink as the fans cheer. He grabs the the other document – the one for the match to take place – and he signs that. The match is now official.)



Flair: You son of a bitch! You dumb son of a bitch! You just signed away your destiny, amigo! I’ll see you on the streets now. I'll see you in the gutter! You wait and see! Rosa and I will screw you for every cent you earn!

(Del Rio grabs a mic)

Del Rio: No, Flair. No you won't. Because I talked to some lawyers and and they assure me I won’t have to get divorced - they say that I have great grounds for an annulment. The marriage itself was never consummated, and I was deceived from the beginning: what judge is going to side with a woman who leaves her husband seconds after taking her vows? As far as I'm concerned my marriage never happened.

(The fans cheer as Flair looks like he’ll blow a gasket)

Flair: Ha! Ha! You’re forgetting your financial situation. You’ll still be on the streets with those debts of yours!

Dusty Rhodes's music hit.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-K2sSGnDBpw

Dusty: Excuse my interruption, gentlemen, if you will. But I have something important to say. You know, Nature Boy, you don’t follow technology all that well do you? If you did, you'd know the last few days I put up a message on our official website. It invited fans of our company to show their appreciation for Alberto Del Rio’s efforts to keep this company alive. I also asked the wrestlers of this company to do likewise. Let’s see what we came up with shall we?

(Dusty points to a number on the titantron. It keeps on rising – past the $10,000 mark - $20,000 - $30,000 – Flair’s mouth drops open - $50,000 - $60,000 – Del Rio has tears in his eyes - $70,000, $80,000, - Dusty is laughing - $90,000, $100,000.)

Flair is shaking his head in disbelief. It stops at $145,555.

Dusty: More than enough for Alberto’s debts to be repaid and for a good legal team to annul the marriage to that Jezebel, Rosa! Woooo!

(Del Rio has tears in his eyes as he thanks the fans)

Flair: Horsemen! Get on out here!

(Arn and Tully rush through the crowd and begin beating on Del Rio. Flair joins in on the assault.

Dusty: Freebirds?! You wanted a fight. Get out here and go get ‘em, baby!

(The fans go crazy as the Freebirds run down the aisle and in the ring and we’ve got a three-on-three assault now. Then Barry Windham runs through the crowd and it’s now four-on-three. The fans chant ‘Dusty! Dusty!’ and Rhodes takes off his jacket and runs down as the fans go berserk.)

The show goes off the air with the Four Horsemen brawling with Del Rio, the Freebirds and Dusty Rhodes.

Commentary: My goodness ladies and gentlemen it’s like a preview of Grapplemania! It’s like a pier six brawl! What’s going to happen at Grapplemania! My goodness! Don't miss Grapplemania!

The show ends.

Mr.Nice Guy

Welcome ladies and gentlemen to this special Grapplemania Preview Show. We will provide a rundown of the 7 epic encounters on offer for this year’s Grapplemania extravaganza which will come to you live from a sell-out crowd at the Georgia Dome, Atlanta, Georgia.

Here is our official theme song for this year's PPV (why not have a listen as we run through the seven match-ups)...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Bwfm7-uNS4

Main Event
World Heavyweight Championship
Alberto Del Rio vs Ric Flair (c)

After the dramatic events of last year which left the company without its champion, Monday Night Grappling fell on hard times. It was Alberto Del Rio who pumped huge sums of his own fortune into the company to keep it alive. He signed talent, and left much of his business dealings to his girlfriend Rosa Mendes.

On the Week 1 show Del Rio planned to introduce a new World Title. In a battle royal for the new belt, Del Rio prevailed, and thought he was the new World Champion...

Until Ric Flair arrived with the Four Horsemen. With him, the Nature Boy carried the World Championship that had left the previous year and Flair revealed it was HE that was the champion.

The Horsemen planned a takeover but Del Rio revealed he had already asked Dusty Rhodes to be the General Manager. Rhodes then decided Del Rio was the number one contender to Flair’s gold – but Flair had an ace up his sleeve.

On the Week 3 wedding special, seconds after Del Rio and Rosa exchanged vows, Flair revealed Rosa had been working with him all along. She had been using Del Rio’s money to finance the Horsemen while Del Rio was struggling to stay afloat. Flair demanded Del Rio give up his title shot or he’d see him on the streets. Rosa then left Del Rio and planted a kiss on Flair before his eyes.

There was to be a final twist, however: Dusty Rhodes revealed the fans and wrestlers had chipped in to help Del Rio’s debts. The debts were paid off and Del Rio signed the contract. He also revealed plans to secure an annulment.

When a man has everything taken from him – his money, his bride, and more importantly his dignity – can he find redemption? That is the question Del Rio must answer at Grapplemania. Can he restore his pride and win the World Title – or can Flair once again deny Del Rio his moment?

World Tag Team Titles
Arn Anderson & Tully Blanchard (c) vs 'The Fabulous Freebirds' Michael Hayes & Terry Gordy

The holders of the Tag Titles, Anderson and Blanchard, made a huge statement on their first night debuting with the other Horsemen.

This involved taking out The Fabulous Freebirds and leaving them both in a pool of their own blood. The Freebirds subsequently became number one contenders and are eager to settle the score.

Both teams have acknowledged that the history between the two groups has never been properly settled. Two of the greatest teams in wrestling history will collide at Grapplemania: but which one will emerge with the gold?

I Quit Match for control of the company
Dusty Rhodes (G.M.) vs Barry Windham

When Barry Windham entered the company he thought he had it all. He was the holder of the Legends Championship and the other Horsemen selected him to be the G.M. of the company.

The arrival of Dusty Rhodes changed everything. Rhodes revealed he had signed a contract to be the G.M. and refused to resign his post. He also placed Windham in a title match against Magnum T.A. - which Windham lost.

Windham’s lust for power – and a charge of cowardice - drove him to accept this I Quit match. With so much control at stake – and two proud men set to do battle – which man will be driven to say the two dreaded words?

Women's Championship
Trish Stratus (c) vs Lita

The presence of Lita in the company initially seemed to be no problem for Trish. The two women appeared to be on friendly terms. This however proved to be a front when Trish Stratus walked out on her partner and allowed her to be attacked.

Trish Stratus revealed that, as far as she was concerned, the two women could not co-exist. She intends to prove to the number one contender Lita that it is Trish who is the dominant diva of their era.

When these two stars of the last decade clash, only one can emerge with the number one title in women’s wrestling. Which of these icons will it be?

No Holds Barred match: MNG Legends Championship
Rush vs Magnum T.A. (c)

What a journey it had been for Magnum T.A.: returning to the squared circle and in the process claiming the MNG Legends Championship.

Unfortunately for Magnum, not everyone approved. The young, cocky former CMLL star Rush has said Magnum’s time is past and it is his time now.

This violent match-up features one of the oldest stories in wrestling – the respected veteran versus the brash young upstart – but when these two lions hit, will it be the old or young lion who walks away with the prize?

Tag team match: If Finlay's team loses he joins British Invasion
British Invasion vs Finlay & Fibber w/Old Donal

Finlay has this year been involved with the first ever Irish Boot Camp season on Monday Night Grappling. Coach Finlay brought three rookies an opportunity for a place on the roster but only one could take it. That man was Fibber, a big 6 foot seven, 350 pound behemoth. He has a handler - a white-haired old man with a tin whistle - Old Donal – whose Irish rebel tunes soothe the monster’s rage.

Sadly for Finlay, the British Invasion have pestered him throughout the season. They want Finlay to join their group and believe with him in their ranks, no one – not even the Four Horsemen – will cross them. They challenged Finlay to put his Irishness quite literally on the line, and he has.

As a result, if Finlay’s team loses, he must swear allegiance to the British. In this intriguing match-up, the question is…will Finlay be able to rely on his young rookie Fibber, or will the British invasion prove too strong? What colours will Finlay be wearing by the night’s end?

Tag team Elimination match
Beth Phoenix & Natalya vs Kharma & Aja Kong

Beth Phoenix and Natalya thought their dominance was unquestionable. They believed no one could stop them. Weren't they the most dominant divas in the industry? Not even Aja Kong shook their conviction.

Aja Kong quickly found herself at a big disadvantage as the two powerful women targeted her. There would be help for Aja, however – in the form of a returning Kharma. With Double Kong reunited, suddenly the Divas of Doom had their authority challenged in the biggest way imaginable.

In this elimination match only one woman can be left standing. Only one team’s pride can remain intact. Who will last the distance? Who will fall? Tune into Grapplemania for one of the most interesting women’s tag matches in history as the Divas of Doom meet Double Kong.

Seven matches will be on offer at this year's Grapplemania. Championships will be decided. Pride will be at stake. Stay tuned to Channel Boards.ie for this exclusive presentation.

(Big thank you to those who have followed these shows.)

Bounty Hunter

BWA Road to Wrestlemania Re-Cap

After Last years BWA Draft PPV

The Months building to the the 2013 Royal Rumble

The Rumble itself

Feud 1: BWA Chairman Bounty Hunter vs Alberto Del Rio Sr (Dos Caras)

This rivalry had been building ever since Dos Caras arrived in the BWA almost a year ago and revealed himself to be Daddy Del Rio himself Alberto Del Rio Senor, but at the Royal Rumble it escalated beyond belief when BWA Chairman Bounty Hunter laid it out for DDR. He wanted him out of his boardroom, out of his ring and out of his company and he was willing to put it all on the line to make it happen. The Challenge was made, Alberto Del Rio Sr vs an opponent of The Chairman's choosing and if Del Rio fails to win he is out on his ear, but if he can live up to his word an prove he is better than everyone in the BWA (A claim he recently made to the BWA board when lobbying for a title shot at The Rumble) and win then Daddy Del Rio will take Bounty Hunters majority share control of the BWA.

It was this that Del Rio's focused on when he opened the post Rumble Raw accepting the challenge. He laughs about how he will soon be the boss and that there will be big changes and who knows he may even make Ricardo his GM. He isn't laughing later that night though when The Chairman hits the ring to announce who he has picked as his (DDR) opponent at Wrestlemania. A man that the Chairman says many may have forgotten was even under contract to the BWA as he had been out injured so long, a man who the dirtsheets have already picked up upon being one of the first 2 ever inducties into the BWA hall of fame at this years mania. He is the man who main evented BWA Wrestlemania 2 defeating Muhammad Ali and will once again steal the show at BWA Wrestlemania V as the saviour of the company...Bruno Sammartino

Bruno is given a hero's welcome back as he comes out and speaks about the real joy he feels being able to return to a BWA ring and says that he will not let the fans down at Wrestlemania when suddenly Alberto Del Rio Sr attacks from behind and locks him in his patented Cross Armbreaker (which he says his son in MNG has been butchering for years). It's the same surgically repaired shoulder of Sammartino's that Del Rio now hyper extends and refuses to release, when he eventually does the announce team cast doubt over wether or not Del Rio has just eliminated his competition at Wrestlemania and say we could be looking at our next boss here and now.

In the following weeks Del Rio bragged that he had this one in the bag, that Sammartino was washed up thanks to him re-injuring his arm, that he would soon make all the decisions in the BWA and that he knew this because he also knew that Sammartino didnt have the cohones to face him now after what he did to him. This was a step too far and on the third week of such promos Sammartino stormed the ring catching Del Rio out and hitting him with a big Pendulum backbreaker causing him to roll to the outside before slinking away.

The following weeks saw BWA Chairman Bounty Hunter set up sparing matches for his man to shake off ring rust before Wrestlemania and things were going according to plan with the BWA Legend Sammartino looking more impressive with each passing bout. Del Rio objected to this though saying that he shouldnt have to be put in harms way before their bout if Bruno is only going to be facing local nobody's ever week so the week before Wrestlemania the chairman decide to put both men in the exact same scenario and allow them both pick who the final person that would face their wrestlemania opponent before they went one on one. He had given them the power to book whatever match they wanted for the Pre-Mania Raw and Sammartino gave the fans just what they wanted and put Daddy Del Rio up against the Rattlesnake Stone Cold Steve Austin. Meanwhile the man who used to call himself Dos Caras once again surprised everyone by booking Bruno to go 1 on 1 with Ricardo Rodriguez in a Street fight.

that night the crowd got what they wanted and Stone Cold defeated Del Rio after a stone cold Stunner but it was the other match that left them talking as Del Rio used the No DQ element in a street fight to interject himself into the match attacking Sammartino from behind with a chair before once more locking in his cross armbreaker, a hold he held in place until the BWA chairman himself had to forceably stop him. Is the damage already done though? Can Bruno recover in less than a week to defend the BWA from potential Del Rio Rule?

An interesting side note in this feud has been the relationship between Alberto Del Rio Sr and his personal ring announcer Ricardo Rodriguez. In Del Rio's eyes Ricardo let him down at the Royal Rumble and since that night Daddy Del Rio has been treating Ricardo with a sort of disdain and as more of a dare we say it a slave than a personal ring announcer. We say in backstage vignettes how he had him carrying his bags, taking his calls and doing his laundry among other things and that only escalated further when Ricardo made an appearance un-approved by Del Rio Sr on Monday Night Grappling as his sons best man. Despite Daddy Del Rio taking great pleasure in how that night turned out for Ricardo and his boy who was left at the alter he said Ricardo needed to pay for his actions and thus booked the above mentioned Street fight for Ricardo against his Wrestlemania opponent Bruno Sammartino. That turned out to all be a ploy by DDR but just how much was Ricardo in on this plot has turned out to be of much talk backstage where we have actually seen a number of superstars and notably BWA chairman Bounty Hunter approach Ricardo saying that he doesen't need to take that from Del Rio and that there would be a place for Ricardo in the BWA even without Del Rio

Feud 2: BWA World Champion Mitsuharu Misawa vs Stone Cold Steve Austin

As of the Royal Rumble (Which he won) Stone Cold Steve Austin has been given new life. He's heading to Wrestlemania and no longer has the companies PG status holding him back and is truly reveling in that fact. Jado & Gedo are still GMs though and things aren't exactly easy for him but just like he did at The Rumble he has shown time and time again he can overcome the odds when they are stacked against him and to be honest the champion really seems on the back foot at the moment, but momentum can be a fical B*tch sometimes and change in an instant.

Austin was booked to main event Raw against Rocky Marciano and was having a real back and forth contest when Muhammad Ali came out to ringside and things turned sour for The Rattlesnake quickly. Mitsuharu Misawa was already at ringside to observe proceeding and when Marciano knocked Austin to the outside the two wrestlemania opponents went at it with Misawa eventually flooring the Texan after first raking his eyes. Ali actually came to Austin's aid and forced Misawa to back away but when he tried to help Austin to his feet (so he could send him back to face his own rival Marciano) he was caught with an unexpected Stunner! The announcers said the didn't think Austin knew who was picking him up and acted on pure instinct but this did not go down well with Ali. Austin was cost the match too as Misawa used this moment to smash Austins head into the ring post outside before sending him back into the ring to groggily face a Marciano Haymaker but it was Austin's stunner that would come back to haunt him.

Why? well the following week he found out that he was literally could be between a rock and a hard place at Wrestlemania as it was announced 1 of Rocky Marciano or Muhammad Ali would be the special guest referee in his title match. The week after that seemed even worse as Marciano straight up admitted that if he's the ref he will not call the bout down the middle after all the times SCSA has attacked him and the very same night Mitsuharu Misawa cut a promo where he too admitted that if he gets the opportunity to bend the rules at Wrestlemania he will, as Eddie Guerrero would say he's willing to lie, cheat and steal to ensure he keeps his world title but perhaps more importantly he points out the very real possibility of the non PG rule breaker himself SCSA doing something that the special guest ref would deem worthy of a disqualification, in which a scenario Misawa says there will be no rematch.

Austin has said he would and has done so before but can he really overcome the odds this time? Jado, Gedo, Marciano, Ali and god knows who else along with the most underhanded champion in BWA history all have the potential to ruin the party, what will happen at Wrestlemania.

Feud 3: Muhammad Ali vs Rocky Marciano

Muhammad Ali shocked the world when he made his BWA comeback at the Royal Rumble and immediately made an impression going face to face with the BWA's other legendary pugilist Rocky Marciano. The two were quickly eliminated as they tussled with one another but this rivalry was only just re-ignighting. Interestingly though it was the first time that much of the BWA universe learned about their history together.

It was the next night on Ali's first BWA Raw in a number of years that he explained his actions. He references the "Super Fight"

The Super Fight was a fictional 1970 boxing match between Rocky Marciano and Muhammad Ali. At the time, Ali and Marciano were the only undefeated heavyweight champions in history and fans often debated who would win had they met in their primes. Ali and Marciano were filmed acting out every possible scenario in a fight and the result was then determined using probability formulas entered into a computer. The final fight was only shown once in selected cinemas around the world and later released as a DVD.

What wasn't mentioned on Wikipedia however was the result and as Ali explained The two fighters sparred for about 70 to 75 rounds, which were later spliced together according to the findings of a computer and a formula.

He was the greatest of all time but that title was taken away from him by a computer and a formula as it decided Marciano would win via a 13th round knock out, Ali was livid. He had always questioned the decision even alluding that the computer fight had been rigged so the great white hope would keep down the loud mouth draft dodging African American.

He explained that that is why he chose now to return to the BWA. Where else but here in this great federation during draft time would he get to prove
he's the greatest by taking on Marciano in his prime for real. With both at the peak of their boxing powers, who would emerge the winner? The young phenom with the lightning speed, the big mouth and a keen sense of the big stage, or the punishing late starter, who burst onto the scene, knocked out all comers and left before tasting defeat?

The answer to that question it seems will come at BWA Wrestlemania V as Ali layed out the challenge and Marciano immediatly accepted. To add even more spice to the equation BWA chairman Bounty Hunter had long ago said Rocky Marciano would act as a troubleshooting referee in this years mania main event but unable to pass up the possibility of showcasing "The Super Fight" for real instead decided that the victorious boxer and thus the man the BWA crown as the greatest of all time will officiate the main event on the grandest stage of them all.

Feud 4: BWA IC Champion Kenta Kobashi vs WECWF champion Jake "The Snake" Roberts

After The Royal Rumble Kenta Kobashi had announced he intends to retire but only when someone can beat him for his Intercontinental championship and despite some wishing he would stay on and wrestle in the BWA forever Kobashi was essentially universally liked and respected by all be they fans, fellow pros or management. To show to what an extent this was true even New Jack who never had a nice word to say about anyone spoke glowing about Kenta when he got a 1on1 title shot against him on the post Rumble Raw (which Kobashi easily won).

This is one thing that could certainly not be also said about Jake "The Snake" Roberts who shortly after the Rumble cut a promo on this exact fact. He said that the people in the BWA could never accept him because he was a world champion from one of their rivals and anything not created by BWA chairman bounty hunter for want of a better term "gets Sh!t on" here according to Jake. He said he was told he wasn't worthy of a world title shot against Misawa, was screwed out of a chance at the BWA tag team titles at the rumble and was told to wait in line for a shot at the IC title, apparently Bob Sapp was next in line to challenge for that title so when his challenge fell by the way side you would think that Jake might get a chance but who was next? New Jack! motherf*ckin New Jack!

It was at this point that he called out Kobashi, calling him a chicken, saying that despite all his words to the contary he obviously fears retirement otherwise he would face real competition in the form of him a real world champion (holds aloft his WECWF title). Much to everyones amazement though Kobashi actually turned him down. He said that Roberts does not deserve to face him and cites how when Jake first arrrived in the BWA he said that nobody in the BWA deserved to challenge him for his WECWF title he so proudly carried around with him. If BWA wrestlers dont deserve to face Roberts for his gold why should they put their titles on the line against him.

During the weeks that followed Roberts would continually try to make Kobashi reverse his decision and grant him that match at Wrestlemania doing everything he could to get under his skin but it was all to no avail. Even when he almost ended Kobashi's career by interfering in a IC title match against Bobby Lashley Kobashi who eventually got the win refused to change his mind. Eventually with just 3 weeks before mania Roberts changed his tact and seemingly went with an approach of honest plus an added incentive. He said that yes he wants to win BWA gold and yes it would be a great honor for him to be the one to retire Kobashi. He says that it will take a great wrestler to defeat and retire Kobashi and that the likes of The Gangsta's (New Jack, Mustafa Seed, Lashley & Sapp) are the ones who truely don't deserve to have such an honor bestowed upon them. He says at BWA Wrestlemania it will be exactly 1 year since he won his WECWF world title from CM Punk at Mayhem Rising and that if Kobashi is willing to face him at mania he will be willing to put his own title on the line. Kobashi was impressed and the match was booked, his IC title and career on the line while Jake risks losing his WECWF world title to the longest standing member of the now defunct WECWF's rivals the BWA.

The week before Mania BWA chairman Bounty Hunter when interviewed backstage says that he has sent 2 front row PPV tickets special delivery to Waltersobchek (former WECWF chairman and boards poster) and hopes he decides to join him at ringside for this massive main event.

Feud 5: Bob "The Health Inspector" Sapp vs Bobby Lashley w/Kristal

At The Royal Rumble PPV there was an altercation backstage between Bob Sapp & Kristal, but on the following Raw the announcers asked for people not to jump to conclusions saying that nobody could be really sure what happened but those two themselves. Interestingly though Bobby Lashley seemed to be completely in the dark about the whole issue. He was however worried when Kristal didnt show up at Raw that week something he says she never does. Despite this he tried his best to focus on making things up to Bob Sapp who he felt he had cost the match at the Royal Rumble and to do so he challenges Kenta Kobashi to a title match on the following weeks Raw. Sapp had been involved in a Rivalry with Kobashi recently and surely seing him retired and The Gangstas in possesion of his IC title belt would cheer him up.

However when Lashley approached Sapp about the matter Sapp told him he couldnt stand to look at him after what has happened and like at the Rumble orderd him away from him repeating "you're push is over" again and again. When Lashley did face Kobashi his mind certainly wasn't 100% on the match, Kristal had once again no-showed and he kept looking at the ramp and his corner to see if she would make a late arrival. Despite this he came close to winning and ending Kobashi's career but was just too distracted to get the job done and Kobashi rolled him up for a 3 count.

The following week Kristal once again was nowhere to be seen and Bobby was visibly enraged by here constant (and as far as he knew unexcused) absence when The BWA Chairman Bounty Hunter approached him and offered him to night off. He told him to go home and see his wife, make sure everything is ok and come back next week. That is exactly what he did and the very next monday he was back making his return right in the middle of a 6 man tag which say Bob Sapp & The New Gangstas (New Jack & Mustafa Seed) vs Jake Roberts & The Eliminators.

As he arrived the announcers quipped that the numbers game had just turned against the Snake and co but to everyones surprised he went straight for Bob Sapp at the corner spearing him right off the ring apron. then screaming like a mad man he would start pummeling him on the mat outside the ring before eventually delivering a Dominator to Sapp that sees the big man put through the announce table. It's at this point that security drag Lashley away from the ring as he crazily shouts that he's going to kill Sapp at him.

On the next Raw we are promised a sit down interview with Lashley explaining his actions but beforehand we see him leaving the chairman's office and during the interview he explains that he has just asked for and recieved a No DQ, No countout, No holds barred, Anything goes match against Bob Sapp at Wrestlemania and has been granted it. He says that he is not the one who needs to explain his actions, Bob Sapp is! He didn't lay his hands on another man's wife, Bob Sapp did!

The Interviewer then asks a very smart question and says that while Bob Sapp has denied anything happened between him & Kristal at the Royal Rumble why not just have Kristal make a statement to the cops? Lashley has an answer for this though and explains that Kristal herself pleaded with Bobby not to make her do that, because she wanted to see the man who called himself "The Health Inspector" pay first hand, she wanted to see her husband tear him limb from limb and she knew she would never get the chance if she made that report.

When Lashley first arrived back in the BWA people had feared that he and Sapp would renew their old rivalry but I dont think anyone expected things to escalate this much. Will Lashley get his vengeance at Wrestlemania? or will The Head Gangsta have the last laugh in this sorry situation?

Feud 6: BWA Tag Team Champions The Motor City Machine Guns vs The Eliminators

The MCMGs successfully defended their BWA tag team titles at the rumble i somewhat controversial circumstances against SCSA & Jake Roberts and have been bragging about it ever since but arguably the most impressive tag team performance at The Rumble was that of the eliminators who rolled back the years with Perry Saturn in particular shining as they defeat Bob Sapp & Bobby Lashley to become the no.1 contenders to those titles at Wrestlemania.

It had been saturn that had been the focus of everyones attension in the weeks building to the rumble and perhaps this performance had answered a lot of the questions being posed about him but when asked about facing the eliminators at mania it was the other half of their opponents that the MCMGs put the focus on, John Kronos. The man they call dead weight.

They say that it was almost touching how concerned he was for his friend and the lenghts he went to to get Saturn cleaned up except that they knew the real reason behind his efforts. They know that without Saturn, Kronos is nothing! They elude to his lack of success as a singles competitor and even joke that Saturn would be better off with Moppy as his tag partner cos atleast then he might know not to make the tag and cost himself the match.

This wasn't their only moppy reference though as they started carrying a "Moppy" replica with them to the ring for their matches and often to observe the eliminators matches from ringside. The announcers say they are trying to get in Saturns head and remind everyone that in the above referenced promo they also said that if Saturn has a "relapse" Kronos will be left all alone infront of the whole world (at Mania) to fail again. With 2 weeks to go to mania a backstage segment showing Saturn re-watching how Moppy was destroyed years ago on Raw seemed to show that things were getting to Saturn. The following week when The MCMGs interfere in their match cracking the Moppy replica over Saturns head you could be forgiven for thinking Saturn might have a slip up in his recover especially when he is left shaking backstage after finding shards of the broken Moppy amongst his stuff in the lockeroom.

What kind of mental state will Saturn be come Wrestlemania? Will he even make it to mania clean and sober? and can John Kronos silence his doubters and prove himself on the grandest stage of them all? The MCMGs seem to have gotten in the heads of their challengers but will it be enough come Wrestlemania?

Feud 7: BWA Bookers Jado & Gedo vs New Jack & Mustafa Seed

Jado & Gedo were lucky to be still able to keep their role as GMs once Bounty Hunter had returned but they did find they now had orders to follow and not just from world champion Mitsuharu Misawa. One thing the board were not going to accept even after moving away from their recent PG status was someone acting towards the BWA fans in the way New Jack had at the rumble where he literally spat into the crowd and onto one fan in particular's face. This may be New Jack's new thing, he may consider himself an urban Carlito (his words on a recent joking interview where he then spat in the face of the interviewer), the GMs were made deal with him personally. He was called into the ring on Raw an orderd to apologize to the BWA universe, everyone in the arena and all the fans at home for his actions.

After first having a little laugh at the term "BWA Universe" his response is not what the GMs expect as he turns to them facing Gedo and simply says "Eat a d!ck old man!" before spitting in his face also and then cracking im across the head with what appears to be the bottom of a knife. At the same time Mustafa seed came through the crowd and attacked Jado who was also in the ring. In the following weeks this rivalry escalated but everytime it looked like Jado & Gedo were getting on top The New Gangstas would employ an equaliser in the form of a weapon (New Jack seemed to favour carrying his very intimidating knife with him). Therefore in a final last stich effort to control them or more aptly to put them in their place the GMs booked a extreme rules tornado tag team match at mania. A lot of people backstage have questioned this decision however and seem to think they are playing right into the ECW alumni's hands with such a stip.

Segment 1



Batista's music starts up and "The Animal" makes his way out to the ring. Batista takes the mic and asks the crowd why in the hell tonight in Randy Robinson appreciation night when every night should be Dave Batista appreciation night. Batista mentions Bret's return and takes a pop at the Hart family. Batista says he couldn't care less who is the Number 1 Contender or who the Champion is. All he knows is that after Wrasslemania he will be top of the line in regards to having a title shot. Batista says he is truly an animal and the rest of WTF are his prey. Vader's music suddenly hits and out comes the big man. Vader says in this business he doesn't have time for line jumpers. Vader says that every guy in WTF thinks he should be WTF Heavyweight Champion but few are actually good enough. Vader says that Batista is one of those. Vader says that although Batista is moving on up in the queue Vader is next in line and he's not going to allow anyone to skip past him. Vader challenges Batista to a match right here right now.

Vader vs. Batista

Batista starts by attacking Vader from behind before the referee even has a chance to ring the bell. Batista continues to beat down on Vader and pushes the ref away when he tries to drag Batista back. Eventually the referee calls for the bell to be rung multiple times to signal help with stopping this beatdown. Vader, however battles back and clotheslines Batista over the top sending both men to the floor. The bell continues to ring as both men trade punches. Officials and referees comes from the back and after a while manage to separate both men.

Carlito says that WTF needs a Cruiserweight Champion they can be proud of, and the Ultimo Dragon ain't that. Coachman says he hasn't got time for this with tonight being Randy Robinson Appreciation Night. Coachman says he's busy trying to put together a Wrasslemania card worthy of the name of being the biggest PPV of the year. Coachman tells Carlito to prove his worth tonight by pitting him against the Hardcore Champion, Bam Bam Bigelow. Carlito looks pissed as the segment ends.

Segent Length: 4 minutes

Segment 3



The Midnight Express (Bobby Eaton & Stan Lane) vs. Strike Force (Rick Martel & Tito Santana)

As expected a fast paced, tag team match. Lots of reversals leading to near falls. The commentators plug how strong Martel and Santana were as individuals before teaming up and having since becoming stronger. Strike Force get the win after Santana grabs a handful of Lane's pants via a rollup. Your typical non title match with the holders being defeated leading to a possible PPV match between the two for the belts.

Winners: Strike Force

*Bob Backlund is seen backstage shaking random people's hands as we cut to commercial break*

Segment 4



Bob Backlund comes out with a microphone and makes his way to the ring. Backlund says he had tears in his eyes last week when his friend Randy Robinson came out and announced his retirement in this very ring. Backlund goes on to tell a story about Robinson and says how happy he was when he heard he had reconciled with his daughter. Backlund says that seeing Robinson last week made him need to consider his own future. Backlund said about how he spent the last few months feuding with Kurt Angle over the WTF Heavyweight Championship [in doing so having some of the best matches of Backlund's career]. Backlund says he may getting old but he still has a taste for gold. Backlund says at Wrasslemania he wants to take on Jack Brisco for the Intercontinental Championship. The crowd pop huge for this. Backlund stands there waiting for an answer from Brisco but instead Jonathan Coachman's music hits to a chorus of boos. Coachman says that he gave Brisco the night off tonight. Coachman says that is Backlund wants to go around making challenges then he needs to come to him, the WTF GM first as he's in charge of booking the matches. Backlund gets in Coachman's face and threatens him to stop letting his loverboy Jack Brisco walk all over him and tell him to get his ass to the ring where Backlund's going to kick it all the way back to Oklahoma. The segment ends with Backlund posing in front of the crowd and Coachman looking gloom.

Segment Length: 9 minutes

Segment 5



Hardcore Match: Carlito vs. Bam Bam Bigelow

Another non title match, just hardcore rules. Bigelow beats down on Carlito for the majority of the match with Carlito been forced to run away and use his quickness to gain any offence. Carlito reverses a powerbomb into a frankensteiner sending Bigelow crashing onto a chair for a long two count. Bigelow eventually hits a powerbomb and goes to the top rope for his signature diving headbutt when Takeshi Morishima hits the ring with a kendo stick knocking Bam Bam off the top rope. Morishima repeatedly hits Bigelow with it before going to the outside and bringing a table into the ring and sending Bigelow through it with an Amaze Impact. Carltio cheekily cover Bigelow for the 3 count and Morishima poses with the Hardcore Championship over Bigelow's lifeless body to end the segment.

Winner: Carlito

Robinson introduces his daughter Stephanie to everyone and says she is the reason why he is retiring from professional wrestling. Randy says for the crowd not to boo her but rather cheer her. Randy says she is the most important thing in his life despite him not being a good a father as he should have been. Randy looks at his daughter and tells her he loves her. Several video packages then play with wrestlers Robinson has worked with over the years talking about him and putting him over as one of the true greats of the business. Then a video appears of The Ayatollah. The Ayatollah says this video is not a pre-recorded one. This one is live. The Ayatollah says that hearing all those other wrestlers talk about Robinson like he was some sort of saint makes him sick. the Ayatollah says that Robinson was a drug using junkie all through his career. He says Robinson was an alcoholic who blew his money on drink, drugs, and strippers. The Ayatollah says that while Stephanie mother was in hospital giving birth to her, Robinson was shooting a line of coke off some stripper at a party. Stephanie immediately runs out of the ring to the back in tears. Randy looks at the screen with anger as the Ayatollah says Robinson can never retire, not in a million years. He was born a wrestler, and he will die a wrestler.

Segment Length: 23 minutes

Bret says that he knows and appreciates all the hard work Owen has done over the last 8 months but Bret is back now and he is ready to evoke his rematch clause and rightfully take on Kurt Angle at Wrasslemania. Owen looks confused and angered and tells Bret that all he's trying to do his hold him back. Owen says that he is the rightful Number 1 Contender not Bret. Kurt Angle comes out to the top of the ramp. Angle says he doesn't care which Hart he takes on at Wrasslemania but a decision needs to be made.

Live from le Centre Bell á Montreal, Québec! 19’395 ICW supporters sont présents!

Opening Promo Billy Graham wins, is stripped of, and is reinstated as champion. Billy Graham offends the locker room. Michael Cole fails to find a #1 contender. Announcer’s heard suggesting that Cole’s very job could be on the line. Christopher Daniels’ frustration and his own recent, short, championship run. The League and Michael Cole making a pact with one another. AJ Styles making Daniels tap out to the Koji Clutch.

The announcers remind us of what has been happening over the last few weeks and what questions need to be answered... Is Michael Cole going to last long in the job? Is Billy Graham going to remain champion all the way through to the grandest showcase of all, Grandslam? Also tonight, we have the two semi-finals of the SuperFly #1 contender’s tournament and the tag-team champions will be in action. We have no confirmed main event, because Chairman Cole dramatically cancelled it last week over an inability to organise it. Instead, the number 1 contender at Grandslam will be chosen from the tag-team that wins the Tag-Team Turmoil match at Turmoil! in two weeks’ time. But, as we just saw, Cole looks to be on sweet terms with Christopher Daniels and looks quite pleased with himself tonight. The heel announcer says he has no idea why Cole looks so happy but it makes him feel happier just to see it.

William Regal is in the ring, suited and booted, with a sack at his feet

Regal opens with a sentence about his honour being questioned, but can’t get started because the audience are booing and mocking him. So he takes it from a different angle:

Good evening Québec! I love Québec! ...like I love all parts of the British Empire. I think you should be proud of your unique culture! After all, Québec is the only part of the British Empire where speaking French isn’t considered to be a bit disgusting in polite company! [he smiles all the way through this] I particularly admire your ancestors, who travelled thousands of miles across the ocean, to the edge of the earth, just to be a part of the British Empire... Truly, these were the smartest of all the French... even if they did forget that they could’ve just hopped on the ferry to Plymouth. So you should be proud – or at least, as proud as any Frenchmen can be! I, on the other hand, am British, and we British value our honour above all else. So imagine my shock last week, when I was accused of using... knuckle sheaths... to win wrestling matches. In all my years as *the best* technical wrestler in the business... and these last months as Overseas Champion... I never realised...

...that I was being such an obvious bloody cheat.

The truth is, I don’t have that much respect for most wrestlers these days. I trained in the bearpit that was British wrestling. I toured the world, wrestled with WCW, WWF, DQWF, HVCW, and was even general manager of another monday night promotion. I endured zero appreciation for my technical abilities. I overcame a near-fatal heart defect. I even beat alocoholism. Now, here I am, ICW... Helping to lead the most talented stable in wrestling history... The League. [boos and laughter at that] Did I grow tired of putting in the effort night after night to win clean against apes who didn’t know a full nelson from a closed fist violation? Against the likes of our current international champion, whose adherence to the rules lasts as long as his temper? Yes, I have used brass knuckles. I have won matches I should’ve worked harder to win... but I have never won a match that I should’ve lost. This championship would be mine for the wearing whatever tactics I was using – because I am one of the best technical wrestlers ever to grace the squared circle in this country or any other. So for Rikishi Fatu to accuse me, as he did last week, of being unable to win a match cleanly... and then, to humiliate me, while barely conscious, sticking his soft fat bottom in my face... that to me, is a besmirchment too far!

Meanwhile, Larry Zbyszko is teaching Yokozuna the art of technical wrestling... Larry Zbyszko, who’s most famous moment in wrestling is losing to a man who was on the cusp of retiring, his back was so bad. And then there’s Billy Graham. No one on the roster is ready to face him, he said. Well, William, I am. And many besides. You’re a has-been, a pretender to Christopher Daniels’ championship.

So, my full collection of brass knuckles is in this sack. I am leaving them in this ring, I am leaving them behind for now. I will beat Mr. Rikishi Fatu at Turmoil!, without the need of these. Furthermore, I will wrestle anyone, tonight, in this ring, in a No Holds Barred and No Brass Knuckles Match!”

A powerful speech, the announcers agree.

Rikishi’s music hits
Out walks Rikishi, Samu and Yokozuna with Larry Zbyszko in-toe as well! Regal is defiant as they make their way into the ring. Rikishi says this must be some kind of joke: William Regal, the best technical wrestler of all time? He says if he weren’t so certain that he will beat Regal at Turmoil!, he would be calling for him to be stripped of his belt for what he just admitted. Zbyszko takes his turn, defending his record and proceeds to accept the challenge for a match tonight. He gets in Regal’s face (Zbyszko style) and Regal tells him “Don’t touch me, sir.” “Or What?” taunts, Zbyszko. Matt Sydal and Tajiri enter the ring from the crowd and stand behind Regal. Zbyszko reminds him that he’s still outnumbered.

Rikishi’s music hits... again!
Chris Daniels appears on the titantron wearing a blonde dreadlocked wig, yellow sunglasses, and Rikishi-branded sumo gear over his own shorts. He is backstage in an office and as the camera pulls out we see Michael Cole with him, in a similar pair of sunglasses and a black dreadlocked wig. The two of them are dancing (ala too cool) to Rikishi’s music until it stops – there are martinis on the desk. Daniels takes off the wig and sunglasses and starts imitating Zbyszko defending his record, “Ooh, stop being mean William! I’m teaching Yokozuna to count calories, I’m brilliant! I’m the living Leg End! I didn’t climb to the top off the back of Bruno Sammartino’s fame at all!” Cole then tells Larry his crimes against the company are numerous: forcing his way into a championship match, costing the champion his title, threatening the general manager last week when he mentioned the restraining order. With a big smile on his face Cole tells Zbyszko he won’t be allowed to compete at all tonight, and that’s just the first piece of good news of many tonight. Cole tells the Montreal crowd to get ready for a major announcement tonight. “What’s the second one?” Daniels asks. Michael Cole then announces that a time trial challenge will take place tonight to decide who out of Daniels and Styles will pick the stipulation for a match he will now confirm is to take place at Turmoil!: Christopher Daniels v. AJ Styles! The two of them dance to Rikishi’s music again.

Announcers promote the match between Daniels and Styles – sure to be a classic! They remark on how it appears that there are now two large factions vying for supremacy – The League and the Chairman, assisted by American Champion D’Lo Brown, against The Samoan faction and Larry Zbyszko.

Ad Break: Hugh Jackson will be the guest host for next week’s show, coming to you from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.

Billy Graham’s music hits
Flexing his muscles on the ramp – a Cheshire cat grin on his face – Graham signals for his music to be cut.

“Billy Regal! I accept your challenge!”

His music hits again and he continues flexing his muscles and hugging some ladies on his way to the ring. He says he doesn’t know why Michael Cole was so happy. He says he doesn’t see how a General Manager can be as happy as that – as happy as if he were a fan watching Billy Graham slam Christopher Daniels’ head through the canvass – when he knows what he knows. What does he know? [Graham isn’t being very clear!] Graham says that he himself knows a lot, because as International Heavyweight Champion he is privy to a lot of information – such as... how angry the International Championship Council are that their troublesome, disrespectful champion won’t be losing his title at Turmoil! and will therefore be guaranteed a main event title defence at the grandest showcase of them all, Grandslam. Graham says he knows that they are very angry indeed. So angry, they threatened Michael Cole. They said: If Billy Graham is still International Champion at the end of the Turmoil! pay-per-view event, you will lose your job, Michael Cole! This is the last straw, Michael Cole! “That’s what they told him!” – Graham says. He tells the audience he will take great pleasure in not defending his title at Turmoil!, if it means that worm loses his job.

The Announcers are stunned to hear that the chairman, Michael Cole, might be losing his job at the upcoming ppv. They also big up the confirmed main event tonight between Billy Graham and William Regal: No Holds Barred but No Brass Knuckles. The only way to be disqualified is to use brass knuckles.

Match 1: 1-2-3 Sparks v. Samoan Swat Team (non-title)

A typical enough tag-team match, with Rikishi and Samu selling the skills that allowed Holly and X-Pac to take the championships in the first place. Holly pins Samu for the win. As they celebrate with the titles, X-Pac addresses the crowd on the mic:

“That’s why we have these, and that’s why we will still have these after the Tag-Team Turmoil Match.” Holly then takes the mic. “And you better believe that I will be challenging for the ultimate prize at Grandslam. The main event: Hardcore Holly versus Billy Graham – or whoever is champion – for the International Heavyweight Championship! It’s just a matter of time!

1-2-3 Sparks win (Hardcore Holly via pinfall on Samu)

Backstage: Interview with the SuperFly Semi-Finalists
All are confident of winning. The interviewer asks Funaki if he’s proud to have got this far, Funaki says he is. The interviewer tells him to enjoy it while it lasts!

Match 2: AJ Styles v. Taka Michinoku (Time Trial Challenge)

A great back-and-to super flyweight match between these two. The action is pretty even until AJ delivers a Styles Clash after a Superman and lands the pin – though Taka argues that he kicked out at two. The clock reads 8:35. AJ and Taka nonetheless shake hands afterwards.

AJ Styles wins via (questionable) pinfall

Post-Match
AJ asks the crowd why Chairman Cole has commissioned the match... what is on the line? AJ says that ICW’s match schedule has been chaotic since he arrived, and that he doesn’t know what it is that will make this match worth competing in. AJ says he’s inclined to agree with Billy Graham that Michael Cole’s election as Chairman was a mistake and his tenure should come to an end soon.

Match 3: Billy Kidman v. Matt Sydal (SuperFly Tournament Semi-Final)

The Announcers hint at the possibility of Tajiri facing fellow League member Matt Sydal at Turmoil!. Sydal himself debuts a new shirt with “League of Our Own” sprayed across the front. Like the Styles/Michinoku match earlier, this is one of a constant back-and-to, but with few of the long rests you’d see in a heavyweight match. Kidman attempts Shooting Star Press on 6 minutes only for Sydal to roll out of the way. Sydal then climbs the turnbuckles himself only for Kidman to quickly get up and drop kick him off the top backwards onto the mat – Sydal makes it back into the ring after a 9-count. Soon enough the tables are turned and Sydal picks up the win off the back of a Frankensteiner followed by a Shooting Star Press. Both men are exhausted at the end of the match.

Sydal wins via pinfall and progresses to the SuperFly tournament final at Turmoil!

Backstage – Michael Cole’s Office
Cole and Daniels are still having the craic backstage, Regal comes in with a towel around him and a suit bag over his shoulder – he’s just showered! He asks Cole if what Billy Graham said was true. Cole is glazed and stares back at Regal, “So what if it is? I have a plan for him. I have a plan for this company.” He looks fierce, and keeps staring Regal down as the camera pans in on his face.

Match 4: Shoichi Funaki v. Yoshihiro Tajiri (SuperFly Tournament Semi-Final)

Tajiri starts dominating the match immediately and visciously – and continues the foot-based offence outside the ring on a very unprepared-looking Funaki, and drags him back into the ring after a Buzzsaw Kick. Funaki kicks out and Tajiri continues in an almost-frenzied attack – hitting moves from the ropes, turnbuckles and standing in quick succession. He goes for the pin only for a figure to slide into the ring – it’s Taka Michinoku! Taka Michinoku slides out of the ring almost immediately with a crazed Tajiri going after him. Funaki gets up bloodied as Taka escapes through the crowd. Tajiri runs back into the ring and Funaki hits a diving cross body followed by a powerbomb – the table is turned! Matt Sydal comes running down the ramp next but Taka appears again out of the crowd and the two of them exchange hard kicks on the outside. Tajiri tries to set Funaki up for the tarantula only to for Funaki to get away, hit another cross body on the way back and finish the match with a spinning DDT from the top rope and pin. Funaki wins! Blood is trickling from above his right eye as he and Michinoku celebrate in the middle of the ring. The Face Announcer ecstatically declares that Shoichi Funaki has made it to the double cage match at Turmoil!, as the man he will face, Sydal, looks on from the ramp in disbelief. The face announcer declares: Kaientai cometh! Michinoku celebrates with his championship and Funaki and he bow to each other as if they were about to fight for it. They both look very happy, and the crowd are popping for them.

Shoichi Funaki wins via pinfall and will go to the SuperFly tournament final at Turmoil!

[Finding pictures of Kaientai celebrating on the web is hard, because they never had anything to celebrate in WWE.]

Vignette
The Darkness will Rise.
The Chill, that aches your bones, and haunts your dreams, will spread.
The Plague that has struck a score of souls still Strike again, upon some new.
The Cold will be the signal of the coming virus. Death will reign again. Souls till be taken, and the soulless will fall. 1... 2... 3...

Backstage
The League and Michael Cole are backstage with an interviewer. He asks them what the next big announcement will be, is Cole’s job really on the line at Turmoil! and if so why is Cole so happy? Cole looks like he’s on a coke buzz or something and addresses the interviewer as if he were giving a lecture to a crowd. “Yes! My job is on the line at Turmoil! And yes, Billy Graham won’t be defending his title in the ring... but all will be revealed... after the main event, tonight!” Daniels’ music goes off and he makes the interviewer pass him a martini from a nearby table and toast to his upcoming victory before heading off.

Announcers comment on the strength of the new alliance between Cole and the League.

Pre-Match
Daniels appears for his time trial match with the martini in hand, which he passes to a lovely looking young woman in the front row – he has 8 minutes to beat. His opponent is revealed when Kris Logan’s music hits. Out comes Logan in an all blue super hero outfit similar to his recent ones, but with a hood. He also looks to have shaved off his trademark “Logan” beard and walking with a bit more swagger than before. The Announcers are arguing over whether it’s unfair for Chris Daniels to face a newcomer like Logan when Styles was up against the SuperFly Champion. But as Logan approaches the ring, the lights go out...

It’s Larry Zbyszko!

He’s wearing Logan’s gear, and he’s screaming at the referee to ring the bell – which he does!

Christopher Daniels v. Kris Logan Larry Zbyszko

Daniels bolts from the ring, and Zbyszko goes after him, only for Daniels to turn and deliver a mean enzuiguri on the turn. Going into the ring, Daniels optimistically hopes for a countout but Larry obviously is up after 2, and back in. Daniels is complaining to the referee who’s having none of it and keeps shouting back, “It’s a challenge!” Daniels and Zbyszko eventually have a proper wrestling match for a short while before Daniels exits the ring again, about 3 minutes of the match gone, refusing to wrestle Zbyszko. The referee is counting him out and Daniels reluctantly re-enters the ring. D’Lo Brown comes running down the ramp, distracting both Zbyszko and the referee. Daniels again leaves the ring and gets a steel chair. The ref sees him and he drops it. When the ref turns back to order Brown away Daniels reaches for the martini glass and empties it on the mat. Zbyszko slides out to meet him only to be glassed in the face! The referee eventually gets Brown to leave up the ramp before counting Zbyszko out. He gets up on 8 but he can’t see from the blood over his eyes, he’s holding on to the barricade just to stand. The clock reads 4 minutes and 24 seconds when the referee reaches ten. D’Lo Brown looks on from the top of the ramp and lifts his American Championship aloft.

Christopher Daniels wins via countout and wins the Time Trial Challenge

Post-Match
Daniels: AJ Styles, you have thwarted on a number of occasions in the two weeks you have been here. Never mind what happened in TNA… this is different… this is my time to be the International Heavyweight Champion and you, AJ Styles, by your very presence, have prevented me from being the clear no.1 contender to the belt that is rightfully mine. This isn’t some lark about who got who pregnant, this is my shot at the gold – a shot I had finally secured at Survival of the Fittest and a victory that has been snatched from me by the conspiracy between yourself and Billy Graham. Last night, with the help of that great pretender, you even had the audacity to perform my Koji clutch on me, to embarrass me with my own signature hold. You could not make it clearer to me that I need to clear my lane on the highway to Grandslam, and that you AJ Styles are directly in my way. At Turmoil!, I will do to you what I did to [the former champion], I will make you tap to the Koji Clutch, and it will be the end of your interference in my affairs. AJ, We will face each other in a Submission Match, and if I win, you will be banned from the Michigan Stadium on the night of Grandslam, and I, as no.1 contender, will be free to claim my championship without you there to thwart me.
The Face Announcer is livid: this isn’t a stipulation! Daniels is going to bury Styles with this condition, and Michael Cole is going to let him! Bah God, what a travesty! That certainly isn’t fair in any way! Michael Cole’s favourites are running this place now!

Main Event: William Regal v. Billy Graham (No Holds Barred and No Brass Knuckles Match)

The only way to be disqualified is to use brass knuckles! These two start off very technical, and the action doesn’t leave the ring for the first 5 minutes, with slow but painful holds being exchanged as well as European uppercuts and Graham’s massive chops (his hands, not his hair!). The Announcers ponder what Cole’s big announcement might be following the match. Graham ejects Regal from the ring with an Airplane Spin in what is a major bump. The two brawl on the outside, and this escalates when Regal cuts Graham’s head on the ring post, to the extent that Graham introduces chairs and Regal reciprocates in a vicious street match style back-and-to. Regal looks like he might pin the international champion but fails. Some minutes later and Graham has the upper hand again, knee dropping Regal on the outside. Seemingly about to win, Graham is assaulted from behind by Tajiri and Sydal who leap from the crowd. Regal himself is then assaulted by Rikishi wielding a steel chair, at which point a whole army of referees comes out to send the intruders away from the ring. An exhausted Graham wins the match with a piledriver and a pin in the middle of the ring, but the pyrrhic victory seems to have taken too much out of both him and his opponent.

[Ignore the rope!]

Billy Graham wins via pinfall

Michael Cole’s Music Hits…
Cole is with D’Lo and Christopher Daniels as he enters the ring. Billy Graham is still barely able to stand, and leans on the ropes to face him. Cole confirms again that what Graham said earlier tonight is true, and again that Graham won’t be scheduled for a match in the squared circle at Turmoil!. Cole announces that, instead:

Billy Graham will defend the title throughout the PPV – a 4-hour title defence.

Graham will defend his championship for 4 hours in the Rogers Centre, Toronto, where he will be accompanied by a referee wherever he goes. Anyone who pins Graham or makes him submit will claim the championship, and they will defend it for the remainder of the night also. If Graham does not turn up to the Rogers Centre, he will have forfeited his championship by failing to mount a defence. Furthermore, Cole says, this has been approved by a vote of the council. This time, Graham will lose his championship for good. Cole laughs in Graham’s bloodied face as he drops the microphone and his music starts playing.

The show ends, the announcers excited out of their wits at the announcement.
