...The Undertaker has come to ICW! He makes his way to the ring in darkness and the crowd are going crazy to see the phenomenon that is the entrance of the phenom himself! He turns as he approaches the ring and we can see a struggle in the ring. Undertaker lifts the lights at the apron corner and we see AJ Styles now has Daniels in another Muta Lock. Undertaker gets into the ring and reveals the CWA Legends Championship as he removes his coat. He places the championship over the turnbuckle, and pulls the face.
The (brave) match referee attempts to stop the interference, but Undertaker throws him through the ropes to another huge pop. Styles releases the hold but its too late for him as Undertaker throws him over the top ropes. Daniels gets up and tries to escape the ring but the dead man catches him and delivers a chokeslam to rapturous screams. Undertaker follows up the chokeslam with an elbow drop. He picks Daniels up, the crowd are going wild and Undertaker milks it as he goes old school on the semi-conscious fallen angel. Taker looks at Daniels in disgust, no doubt at what Daniels did earlier tonight. Taker throws Daniels to the outside and sets him up near the announcer tables!
In a moment of madness Styles wants to interfere but Taker takes offence to this and whips him into the ring post.
Undertaker gets back to Daniels and after a bit more beating lifts him high for the last ride through the table! Daniels is spread out in the wreck of the English Announcers table! As Undertaker summons the special referee Styles attempts to crawl past and cover Daniels himself.
Undertaker sees it and chokeslams Styles through the Spanish Announcer Table! He covers Daniels and the entire stadium counts with the referee: 1-2-3!!!
The Undertaker is the new International Heavyweight Champion!
Back in the ring, Undertaker puts the CWA Legends Title back on underneath his coat, before the special referee puts the Big Gold Belt around his waist. The bells start to toll as Undertaker pulls his thumb across his neck and leaves the ring in much the way he entered - with the addition of the International Heavyweight Championship.
(Somewhat predictably, the match referee now recovers from his bump)Match 5 Continued!EMTs are out trying to lift Styles and Daniels to their feet. They get Daniels to his feet first and he's screaming at the barely conscious Styles that he hates him, that he's cost him again. Daniels gets the EMTs to put him into the ring and takes a mic with him. He can't stand, he's sat against the turnbuckle. He tells Styles to get in the ring. Styles is up, also hurt. Styles slides into the ring and stands, holding onto the ropes. Daniels gets up and runs to spear Styles and they both collapse in the collisions.
The two of them can barely move on the floor, but Styles is moving over to Daniels. Daniels suddenly rolls up underneath Styles and we see he's locked in the Koji Clutch (albeit upside down)!! Styles taps out almost immediately!! Daniels releases the hold and rolls around in pain while the match referee calls the bell!Chris Daniels wins via Submission - Styles will be banned from Grandslam
The Announcers are frantic and have been since Undertaker's entrance. It takes several minutes for them to process the Dead Man's appearance, the change of championship, and then AJ Styles being banned from Grandslam. They speculate that the Undertaker must've been the one to attack Michael Cole earlier.
Daniels is taken away on a stretcher. Styles tries to stand but keeps holding his neck and eventually relents and takes the stretcher option.
Backstage
Medical staff are wondering where Chairman Cole is and the event-specific ambulance that should've been back from the hospital to pick up William Regal by now. As they do, two more stretchers arrive carrying Daniels and Styles! Absolute carnage here before the Tag-Team Turmoil main event!Match 6: Tag-Team Turmoil Match
Rules of the Turmoil Match (Vignette)
In each round, three teams will start in the ring.
Competitors may be eliminated via pinfall, submission, countout, or by being thrown over the top rope. A team will be disqualified if an eliminated team member re-enters the ring or otherwise interferes in the match.
A Round ends when both competitors from one team are eliminated.
A New Round will start immediately with a new, randomly or otherwise selected, tag-team to replace those who were eliminated.
The Final Round of three teams ends when two of those teams are eliminated.
The remaining team are crowned International Tag-Team Champions.
And for this year only, the International Tag-Team Champions will also ahve the right to choose from between themselves the No.1 Contender for the International Heavyweight Champion at Grandslam!
The 123 Sparks enter, bragging about how they will overcome each and every other team tonight to retain their championships.
Next out are... The Samoan Swat Team! New Overseas Champion Rikishi and his partner Samu make their way to the ring.
The third team out for the opening round are revealed as Kris Logan's music goes off, out steps... Hugh Jackman and Kris Logan! They are both dressed like the comic book wolverine! Bah God are we gonna be sued!Turmoil Match, Round 1: 1-2-3 Sparks v. Samoan Swat Team v. Hugh Jackman & Kris LoganAll six men start in the ring and everyone gangs up on the Samoans to begin with, though Kris Logan gets the first elimination when he gets X Pac over the ropes!
X Pac Eliminated
Seconds later Holly and Jackman both manage to eject Rikishi! Holly then turns on Jackman and over the top ropes he goes, though he stays on the apron. Holly then kicks him in the gut and he falls to the mat.
Rikishi Eliminated
Hugh Jackman Eliminated
With one from each team left, Holly goes after Logan but is attacked by Samu. A good triple-threat brawl ensues but ultimately Holly is able to eliminate Samu via the ropes after delivering his signature kick to the midsection.
Samu Eliminated - Samoan Swat Team Eliminated
Coming out for Round 2 - its D'Lo Brown and Chairman Cole! Cole looks like a nervous wreck but D'Lo leads him down to the ring and gives him encouraging words suggesting that they need to get Cole a championship belt again.Turmoil Match, Round 2: 1-2-3 Sparks v. Hugh Jackman & Kris Logan v. Chairman Cole & D'Lo Brown
Things don't look good for Jackman and Logan, and though Cole is barely taking part they are both eliminated quickly by pins after a beatdown from Holly, X Pac and Brown.
Hugh Jackman & Kris Logan Eliminated
The Announcers are split over whether that was fair on the two but they seem happy enough as they acknowledge the crowd and head up the ramp. Out next, our 5th entrants: Larry Zbyszko and Yokozuna!Turmoil Match, Round 3: 1-2-3 Sparks v. Chairman Cole & D'Lo Brown v. Larry Zbyszko & Yokozuna
Michael Cole attempts to leave the ring immediately and it is Zbyszko to catches up to him and drags him back in to begin the round. Yokozuna and Zbyszko are fighting the other four and winning! Hardcore Holly is pinned after a few minutes from a Banzai Drop.
Hardcore Holly Eliminated
Zbyszko is laying chokehold after chokehold on Cole while Yokozuna goes to work on D'Lo Brown. Having worked over Brown, he allow Zbyszko to make the cover.
D'Lo Brown Eliminated
Cole is unconscious in the middle of the ring, and Yokozuna carries him to the ropes and throws him onto the remnants of the announcer tables. X Pac attacks Zbyszko but the round is over.
Chairman Cole Eliminated - Chairman Cole & D'Lo Brown Eliminated
Holly re-enters the ring and the teams are scrapping away as the 6th entrants are announced: The ominous music of The League plays as Tajiri and Matt Sydal emerge and sprint straight into the ring. The announcers note that this will likely be the only league team out tonight given the destruction of both Daniels and Regal.Turmoil Match, Round 4: 1-2-3 Sparks v. Larry Zbyszko & Yokozuna v. The League (Tajiri/Sydal)
A huge bump opens the round as Sydal goes to dropkick Yokozuna only to be caught! Yokozuna turns and tosses the poor super flyweight out of the ring by his leg!
Matt Sydal Eliminated Holly and Zbyszko are slugging it out in a vicious punch-up while X Pac and Tajiri are double-teaming Yokozuna. Holly slides out of the ring and picks up a chair with Zbyszko's name on in. The referees start to count him out but Zbyszko is out to meet him! The two are broken open by the time they are both counted out and they continue to brawl in the crowd!
Hardcore Holly Eliminated by Countout
Larry Zbyszko Eliminated by Countout
Moments later Yokozuna has floored both Tajiri and X Pac and piles them up for a Banzai Drop! He sits on them for the pin, but it is X Pac, on the bottom of the pile, who is judged to have been eliminated, and not Tajiri!
X Pac Eliminated - 1-2-3 Sparks Eliminated and will therefore lose their championships!
AJ Styles (holding his neck) and Billy Kidman are 7th out. While they make their way to the ring however, Yokozuna gives Zbyszko a hand in assaulting Hardcore Holly whom, he knocks out with a piledriver! The round begins when Kidman and Styles enter the ring. Yokozuna and Zbyszko make their way back in...Turmoil Match, Round 5: Larry Zbyszko & Yokozuna v. The League (Tajiri/Sydal) v. AJ Styles & Billy Kidman
Not long after the round gets underway X Pac re-enters the ring and goes after Yokozuna (is he nuts? yes). Not long after he is thrown out, Holly re-enters with a chair and floors both Yokozuna and Zbyszko amidst the rest of the fighting. Sydal and Tajiri score the pins and the round is over.
Larry Zbyszko & Yokozuna Eliminated
The former champions aren't finished there and go to town on the floored Yokozuna! Styles and Kidman attempt to help but it is the hoardes of referees that eventually gets the 1-2-3 Sparks and Zbyszko & Yokozuna out of the ring. The 8th entrants, Kaientai, are in the ring when the referees order the next round to start.
The Announcers explain that Kaientai will be the final entrants unless either Regal or Daniels is able or willing to present themselves for the next round.Turmoil Match, Round 6: The League (Tajiri/Sydal) v. AJ Styles & Billy Kidman v. Kaientai
Perhaps the best round for wrestling quality so far, AJ Styles is unlucky in that he leaves the ring due to pain in his neck and is counted out.
AJ Styles Eliminated by Countout
Sydal and Tajiri double team Funaki while Taka Michinoku and Billy Kidman exchange manoeuvres hard and fast. Funaki is eliminated via the top ropes.
Shoichi Funaki Eliminated
However Michinoku soon delivers a drop kick that knocks Billy Kidman over the ropes to end the round.
Billy Kidman Eliminated - AJ Styles & Billy Kidman Eliminated
William Regal's music plays but no one emerges on the ramp. The referees order the four remaining men to start the final round.Turmoil Match, Round 7: The League (Tajiri/Sydal) v. Kaientai
After several minutes of great back-and-to action between these sides, Sydal eliminates Funaki with a spectacular hurricanrana that sends Funaki over the top ropes. Sydal turns straight into a super kick and the same fate meets him, however.
Shoichi Funaki Eliminated
Matt Sydal Eliminated
The final two in the ring are Michinoku and Tajiri, who fought 5 weeks ago for Michinoku's SuperFly Championship. The action is brutal but it is Michinoku who pins Tajiri off the Michinoku driver.
Yoshihiro Tajiri Eliminated - The League (Tajiri/Sydal) Eliminated!
Taka Michinoku and Shoichi Funaki have won the Turmoil Match!
Taka is ecstatic, the crowd's reaction is mixed! Funaki comes into the ring with two chairs and lays them out as Taka celebrates! Funaki has Taka sit down and goes to get a microphone.
Announcers: "Are we going to end the PPV with Funaki interviewing his own partner? Are one of these two going to face Undertaker at Grandslam? They already have a match against one another!"
As Funaki re-enters the ring, he starts telling the crowd to look forward to Grandslam where Taka Michinoku will face the Underta- but Taka has a chair and smashes Funaki in the back of the head! Oh my god what is going on?
The crowd are furious with Taka as he picks up the microphone and tells Funaki he will see him at Grandslam before he fights Undertaker, and he will not be embarrassed any longer by his less worthy partner Funaki...
Funaki crawls out of the ring and the announcers are speechless. As he does though, Billy Graham's music plays!
The ambulance we saw from before comes to a screeching halt by the side of the ramp! None other than Billy Graham gets out of the driver's door and from the back he pulls William Regal on a stretcher trolley!
Graham is pushing Regal on a trolley down the ramp! He's coming to ringside! The Announcers are in up roar! With Regal at ringside, he can enter the Match as the final team! Graham is perfectly able to substitute as Regal's team member!
The referees seem to agree with Graham and they let him enter the ring! Only Taka remains to defend Kaientai's perceived victory! Graham has a mic. and informs the audience that he is filling in on the final entering team with William Regal!Turmoil Match, Round 7 - Resumed!: Kaientai v. William Regal & Billy Graham
Funaki is Eliminated by Countout
Taka still has the chair and goes for Graham, who grabs it and throws it out of the ring. He whips Taka and delivers a piledriver to stun the SuperFly champion! Graham goes for the pin... 1, 2, 3!!!!
Taka Michinoku is Eliminated - Kaientai are Eliminated
Billy Graham and William Regal have won the Turmoil Match!
As Taka rolls out of the ring, Graham soaks up the atmosphere. The clock on the Lebowskitron reads 12 minutes. The Announcers excitedly promote the presumed main event for Grandslam, Billy Graham v. The Undertaker!
As Graham has a mic handed to him, the lights go out for the second time in the night, and the bells toll... The Undertaker makes his way to the ring!
The Undertaker is carrying something familiar, a briefcase we've all seen recently. He and Graham stare each other down in the ring and he gives Graham the briefcase. Graham summons the special referee to the ring and hands him the briefcase - the crowd are on their feet for what they think they know is coming!
Undertaker reaches to the heavens and lowers the Double Cage Structure! The Announcers are going nuts, the crowd is going nuts, and at the ramp, Chairman Cole is emerging, limping from backstage, and he too is going nuts! Billy Graham is cashing in his main event match and the Undertaker seems to will it!
Chairman Cole paid a physical price today to try and save his job. Many others have been subjected to worse including Christopher Daniels and Billy Graham! Could it all turn full-circle in the ten minutes we have left? Could Graham take back the championship? Could Michael Cole be saying goodbye to his pay packet here tonight?! The Cage is down, the match bell rings! The atmosphere is electric!Unbilled Main Event Match: Undertaker (c) v. Billy Graham (International Heavyweight Championship) - Double Steel CageThe match is a back-and-to of clotheslines, shoulder bumps, big boots and other big strikes between these two. Chairman Cole is on the outside trying to persuade the referees to get the cage lifted, they say it isn't working for some reason. The crowd are going wild for the match.
A groggy taker falls prey to an aeroplane slam followed by a Knee Drop from the turnbuckle! Graham goes for the pin, 1... 2- and he kicks out!
Taker sits up and Graham goes running to the ropes and kicks Taker square in the face (ala Kane)! He picks Taker up and sets him up for the piledriver but Taker reverses it and lifts Graham by the legs and dumps him in a massive facebuster.
Taker lifts Graham and delivers the snake eyes on the turnbuckle before giving him the big boot! Graham is spread-eagled as Taker hooks the leg, 1... 2... No! Graham kicks out!
Graham gets Taker in a bear hug on the canvass and stands up with him before actually lifting the 305lb Undertaker into the air! The referee is asking Taker if he gives up and his hand hovers, will he tap? It comes crashing down to his side but only because the two of them have fallen to the ground!
Graham can't believe it and he ends up paying for it as Taker scrambles and locks in the Hell's Gate! Graham is in agony - his head already having taken a beating today! His hand is out to and it hits the canvass once, twice but not a third time as Graham catches the ropes! Undertaker relents!
Graham slowly gets to his feet to find the Undertaker charging at him - Graham dodges and slams Taker into the cage wall! He then sets up the piledriver and delivers! Slamming Undertaker's skull onto the canvass with a manoeuvre he often uses himself! The crowd can't believe it and neither can a maddened Chairman Cole as Graham goes for the pin! 1... 2... 3! No!
Undertaker kicks out and again! Graham goes to the ropes and comes back to meet a chokeslam from the dead man!
Undertaker goes for his signature pin and gives the tongue to the camera for the count:1... 2... 3...!
The referee calls for the bell!
The Undertaker has defended his title!The Undertaker wins via pinfall and remains the International Heavyweight Champion!
The Undertaker raises his arms and the cage lifts! He helps Graham to his feet and they shake hands. In the near distance, the lebowskitron clock hits zero. The closing image of the pay per view is Undertaker showing his Championship as the lights go out for the final time in ICW this draft year.

6. Billy Graham & William Regal win - Tag-Team Turmoil Match for Tag-Team Championships and No.1 Heavyweight Contendership
- The Undertaker (C) def. Billy Graham - Double Steel Cage Match for International Heavyweight Championship
Why like this and what next?1. I had D'Lo Brown win because I don't think this is the end of this feud. Zbyszko has a lot of unfinished business with a lot of people and I think people who complain about injustice while carrying a championship belt look like whiny idiots. After getting out of a losing streak I would hope to grow Yokozuna in the coming months. It might make sense to put the tag-team belts on a dominating Zbyszko and Yokozuna at Grandslam and have Yokozuna turn heel or go for a championship later in the year.
2. The Taka Michinoku/Hugh Jackman match was important but only because Taka had demanded it as part of the build to his heel turn. Jackman accidentally low-blowing him and taking a revenge bump was the only way I could see the match not being too terrible
After having picked Jackman I couldn't resist picking Logan just for the tag-team potential. Obviously, Jackman wouldn't be a part of the roster but to have a struggling Logan go around calling himself one half of whatever ridiculous name the team could've had would tickle me a bit if I were a fan. While I mention him I should also say that giving Logan the Monday Night Championship in show 4 served to deny Cole his contiuing glory while also continuing to define the belt as essentially being a joke title.
3. Funaki's turn of fortune had to be completed and this would set up to a bitter rivalry between himself and Taka Michinoku. They would definitely face each other at Grandslam and whether he wins there or not Funaki would definitely win the title from Taka at some point. These two have excellent matches together and are/were brilliant wrestlers. I picked them specifically to map a route to success for Funaki who rally didn't deserve to spend 8 years as a WWE jobber. An idea I was dabbling with is that Taka may join forces with the League.
4. William Regal came out of this ordeal as one half of the tag-team champions, and Rikishi is a popular enough name to be defending the title at Grandslam. I also fancy a story in which Samu is revealed as a mystery challenger to Rikishi at Grandslam. In a couple of months I would have a face Regal challenge for the Overseas Championship again or possibly the Heavyweight Championship - but in the short term the tag-team championships will find a home in the team of Regal and Tajiri - with Graham showing no interest in them.
5. Like many others who've used duplicates for their rosters I wanted to make it clear that Styles was a temporary employee in ICW - coming in provide a mini feud for Christopher Daniels. Unfortunately for these two their two main matches in ICW were both dramatically interrupted for more important storyline issues, and so a return feud wouldn't be unheard of but for now Styles is going to leave ICW. I would have big plans for the now 2-time international champion Christopher Daniels and would put him in the main event at Grandslam via some trickery that sees him inserted into the match. At some point soon he needs a serious title run and when I did slap the gold on him I would make sure he has the championship for at least 10 months to make up for his somewhat unfortunate record to date.
6. The Turmoil Match allowed me to develop so many of tonight's stories - none of which came to a definite end (I didn't want them to). In my head for the draft I had a 10 week story arc in mind and this ppv was the midway point in that arc. That's why it won't come across as the story-ending finale that a wrestlemania type ppv would - but it was one that due to the events taking place within I knew I would enjoy writing.
This is also why I didn't use Taker until the pay-per-view. When I picked him I was determined to use him only as part of the arc demanded - at some times I thought this was a mistake but I'm happy I stuck with it. As part of the story arc Taker would keep his championship until Grandslam where he would defend it against both Graham and Daniels. I think him and Graham would make a great rivalry - but more on that later.
Also important to this was Michael Cole's relationship with the entire roster, but specifically Billy Graham and Larry Zbyszko. I wanted to cast Cole as the insecure dictator who is caught in a vicious circle of trying to assert himself and in the process igniting more opposition. I would keep Cole in the role for a long time but would erode his influence by way of the anonymous Council of Commissioners cutting deals behind his back. I would slowly turn Cole face as his work is interfered with and some of his heel allies cut deals with the council to leave his side. I would do this very slowly though and Cole would still be a mega heel at Grandslam.
The most fun I had with this draft was Billy Graham. In my opinion, Billy Graham could've been better on the mic than the Rock and have had more attitude than Steve Austin if he'd have been around at the same time. His personality was a standard heel in the 70s but it could've gone either way in the 90s; in rl Graham was able to electrify crowds into hating him. His in-ring ability is lacking but, again, if he'd have been around after the trials in the early 90s maybe he would've spent more time training and less time body building and sampling the more illegal substances that athletes enjoy. With this draft I wanted to suggest what Graham could be like if he were in a promotion and in his prime today. That said, at the end of my story arc I would plan to turn him heel and properly feud with Undertaker.
The final unbilled match was a sampler for what is to come and also allowed Undertaker to prove on the night that he wasn't just coming back to steal a championship from an injured champion, but rather to dominate as he should. I'll leave you with an unconfirmed partial run-down of the card for Grandslam in 5 weeks time that was leaked on bleacherreport.com the morning after Turmoil!.Grandslam

*The pyro's kick off Wrasslemania with the Wrasslemania team song blaring in the background [some decent classic rock song and not P-Diddy or some ****]. The announcers welcome us the biggest of the big. The ultimate. The grandest stage of them all. Wrasslemania!*Segment 1
World Tag Team Championship
The Midnight Express (c) vs. Strike Force
I've gone for a fast paced opening match and none faster than the current champions, The Midnight Express. [The build up wasn't anything special for this. The challengers won a non-title match 2 weeks back despite the use of pulling of tights to win. Last week Strike Force joined forces with WTF GM Jonathan Coachman in a handicap match against Bob Backlund and The Midnight Express made the save for Backlund, beating off Strike Force.]
The Midnight Express start off on the offence with some sleek moves to immediately get the crowd riled up. Lots of double-teaming by both sets of teams. A big spot was The Midnight Express doing a double dive over the top rope onto Martel and Santana on the outside. The heels take control and after several minutes Lane makes the hot tag to Eaton who clears house, and The Midnight Express get the win following a double crossbody on both members of Strike Force with Eaton and Lane both getting 3 counts on their respective opponents.
Winners: The Midnight Express
Segment Length: 13 minutes
[Not as long as their Mayhem match but it was a quick paced opener and it gave the crowd something to cheers for right off the bat as the champions retained.]
*Kurt Angle is being interviewed backstage. Angle is asked whether he's worried about the Hart brothers double teaming him tonight. Angle says that they'll be too busy tearing eachother apart for them to double team up against him. Angle says he'll sit back and let them take eachother out before sneaking in and getting the pin.*Segment 2
Hardcore Championship
Bam Bam Bigelow (c) vs. Takeshi Morishima
[First up is a video recap of Morishima's debut three weeks ago and his path of destruction so far. The announcers are quick to point out that no one has manhandled Bam Bam Bigelow like Takeshi Morishima has.]
Morishima is out first with a kendo stick and waits patiently in the ring for Bam Bam. Bigelow surprises Morishima though by coming from behind with a steel chair. Bam Bam beats down Morishima to the pleasing of the crowd and Morishima slowly crawls to the outside. Morishima uses a fire extinguisher to fight off Bigelow and take control of the match. The match moves through the crowd and through the back. Eventually it leads to outside the arena where Morishima hits Bigelow with Amaze Impact off a loading dock, through some wooden pallets for the three count.
Winner: Takeshi Morishima
Segment Length: 16 minutes
[Morishima's rein of terror continues as he becomes the new Hardcore Champion. Even though the heel won there's nothing better than a hard hitting hardcore match and the crowd loved every minute of it including the finish. Definitely the sort of match you'd love to see a rematch as the possible finishes for this match are endless.]Segment 3
Cruiserweight Championship
Ultimo Dragon (c) vs. Carlito
[Again the build for this match was minimal, with the bigger matches on the card being given more time. Carlito has come across as a weasel heel who will do whatever it takes to win.]
Again a quickfire opening with lots of reversals from either man. Plenty of arms drags by Dragon with the crowd eating them up. Carlito uses a thumb to the eye to change the direction of the match. Carlito starts weighing Dragon down using the bottom rope to choke him. Carltio showing elements of Ric Flair. The finish comes with the Ultimo Dragon is climbing the top rope and Carltio comes from behind to hit a huge Backstabber for the three count.
Winner: Carlito
Segment Length: 11 minutes
[Another heel win and another title change. Carlito winning was the right choice though as the young heel is climbing the ladder fast in WTF with both his promos and wrestling moves. Giving him the Cruiserweight title is the next step on that ladder]/Segment 4
Batista vs. Vader
[Video package plays Batista's dominant form at the moment and his run to a possible title challenge. The video plays the last couple of weeks of Batista and Vader fighting.]
Batista comes out to a massive tonne of heat. Typical big man matches are usually ****e and dragged out so this one is designed to play on the already hot crowd was big moves followed by a pause for reaction and then another big move, back and forth. The ends comes when Batista went for the Batista Bomb but couldn't get Vader all the way up. Vader reversed and laid Batista out for the Vader Bomb and the three count. The camera pans to a shocked Batista after the match.
Winner: Vader
Segment Length: 9 minutes
[A decent big man match. There where no spots involving pointless submission moves or bear hugs to drain the crowd. Nice and short match. This was supposed to be a Batista banker in order to continue on his dominant form, but I decided to go with Vader instead as a reminder to the fans that Vader is still a force to be reckoned with. It also allows for a rematch and for Batista to go over then. This way keeps both men involved in a feud and away from the already jam packed title challenge.]
*The announcers plug tonight making history and all that junk before announcing the attendance of 78,137 or some random high number like that.*Segment 5
Intercontinental Championship
Jack Brisco (c) w/ Jonathan Coachman vs. Bob Backlund
We dive straight into it with Backlund coming out to cheers from the crowd. Next Jack Brisco is out with Jonathan Coachman but instead of music Brisco comes out with a mic saying he has a doctor's note excusing him from competing here tonight. [Great heat for Brisco] Brisco keeps on the mic right up to Backlund's face until Backlund kicks Brisco, before grabbing the note off him and ripping it in half. The refs rings the bell and we're off.
Great technical battle with these two. Brisco tries to leave but Backlund drags him back. Coachman tries to get involved but Backlund flattens him with a clothesline. After a while Backlund locks in the chicken wing and falls to the ground. Brisco is about to tap when Coachman jumps up on the apron to distract the referee. Brisco taps but the ref doesn't see it so Backlund releases the hold to deal with Coachman. However Brisco comes from behind and hits a roll up on Backlund for the 3 count.
Wiiner: Jack Brisco
Segment Length: 17 minutes
[A nice long match between these two veterans. The team of Brisco and Coachman generated a lot of heat between them. The finish leaves Backlund looking strong and gives Brisco more heat. A rematch between the two will definitely be on the card.]Segment 6
Randy "The Ram" Robinson vs. The Ayatollah
[We start with a video package from three weeks ago with Robinson declaring his retirement from professional wrestling. Then it switches to Randy Robinson appreciation night and The Ayatollah's shocking promo on Robinson, before last weeks promo where Robinson said he would come out of retirement to face off against The Ayatollah.]
Both men come out as the camera pans to Robinson's daughter in attendance. Huge heat for The Ayatollah. Robinson is straight on the offence and nearly gets disqualified for stamping on The Ayatollah. The Ayatollah hits back with huge heat from the crowd. Not a five star classic but the crowd are heavily invested. Lots of near falls with the crowd counting along each time. Robinson takes out The Ayatollah and heads for the top rope for the Ram Jam. Robinson points to his daughter in the crowd before leaping onto The Ayatollah and the three count.
Winner: Randy "The Ram" Robinson
Post match Robinson's daughter jumps the railings and into the ring to embrace her Dad. They both hug to a true Wrasslemania moment. Robinson grabs the mic and thanks the crowd. Just when you think he's going to announce his retirement Robinson says he loves the business and could never leave. Robinson says he wants to become WTF Heavyweight Champion once again. Robinson says he will defy the doctors and fullfill his destiny of becoming the greatest wrestler of all time. Robinson's daughter, Stephanie looks on in dismay and quietly leaves the ring as Robinson poses with the fans. Robinson oblivious to the fact. Did you ever think he'd change?
Segment Length: 16 minutesSegment 7
WTF World Heavyweight Championship
Kurt Angle (c) vs. Owen Hart vs. Bret Hart
[We start with a video package highlighting the last year of each man and their journey here. Great video package, similar to what the WWE do best.]
All three men surround eachother not knowing who to go for first. Angle ducks out of the ring and leaves the Hart brothers to start the match. Back and forth action with Bret and Owen. Bret throws Owen over the top rope allowing Angle to come from behind and attack Bret. Your typical triple threat formula. Owen re-enters breaking a Sharpshooter attempt from Angle on Bret. Owen then locks in the Anglelock onto Angle. A big spot is up next when Owen is Angle Slammed from the top rope and Bret is forced to break the count and the last possible split second. Bret takes out Angle by reversing an Angle Slam into a German Suplex, crashing Angle through the announcer's table on the outside. Bret goes back into the ring and gets Owen in the Sharpshooter. Owen some how reverses it into his own Sharpshooter and Bret finally taps giving Owen the historic win.
Winner: Owen Hart
Segment Length: 28 minutes
[Great action from all three men and Wrasslemania goes off the air with Owen celebrating his first title win. Sometimes predictability is the right way to go. Just like when in real life Roode should have beaten Angle at Bound For Glory 2011. Owen winning is a proper Wrasslemania moment for all to see. Anything could happen next following tonight. A rematch, Owen vs. Bret, Owen vs. Angle, or even Bret vs. Angle. I would go for a rematch, either have Owen retain, or a shock Bret win, leading to a long awaited feud between the two. A great moment for Owen and one that should have happened in real life.]0 -

Redemption PPV
It has finally arrived, the biggest PPV of the year as the pyro goes off all around the stadium as we are set to kick off this year’s Redemption in style with a 4 way ladder match for the Intercontinental Championship
Opening Match
4 Way Ladder Match for the Intercontinental Championship
Kofi Kingston vs Kenny King vs Sin Cara vs Lance Storm
Match kicks off with all 4 men running to get a ladder each to attempt the climb but because all 4 men had the ladders there was no way for them to set up and climb , so Kofi and Sin Cara dropped their ladders and hit dropkicks on King and Storm . All 4 men would go on the offence to try and get the opportunity to climb the ladder and grab the championship , it was clear that even friends were no longer friends in this match . Kofi and Sin Cara would throw King/Storm to the outside of the ring and start battling each other to gain momentum for the match and both men did not hold back as they gave each other everything they had as both men were flying all around the ring . It looked like Sin Cara was going to grab the belt but King took him off the ladder with his springboard neck breaker. King would go straight after Kofi who was making it back to his feet but would get caught by King who just kept the attack on Kingston. King would hit Kofi with a flying ddt and started to make the climb up the ladder , but because King kept showing off and taking his time to get up the ladder Kofi was able to make a comeback and also start to climb up the ladder and even shocked King by knocking him off the ladder , Kofi tried to grab the belt but Storm would sneak up and push the ladder which sent Kofi to the outside
King and then went at it both men were trying to outdo each other but once again Kings cockiness gets him in trouble as he set up a ladder on the outside leaning on the apron and the barricade . It looked like King was going to suplex Storm onto the ladder outside but Storm was able to land on the apron , King then ran to try knock him down but Storm was able to jump into the ring and use Kings momentum to bodydrop him from the inside to the outside landing on the ladder . Storm then grabbed a ladder and made the climb but was quickly followed by Cara up the ladder , both men battled on the top of the ladder until Storm was able to lock in a single legged boston crab on Cara on the top of the ladder and then Cara fell to the floor but as this was happening Kofi was able to use 2 ladders as stilts to make his way from the corner of the ring and was able to climb onto the same ladder Storm was on.
Both men started to battle for the title but you can see King making his way back into the ring and got another ladder right beside where King also made the decent up the ladder and joined in the battle for the belt , King tried to push the ladder which sent Storm flying outside but Kofi was able to use the ropes as momentum and push himself and the ladder back and he managed to jump onto the ladder with King on it and started to do battle . While both men were fighting Sin Cara was able to set up a ladder and use it as a ramp . Sin Cara ran up the ladder to take out both men but just as Sin Cara was coming up the ladder King ducked meaning Sin Cara only took out Kofi and himself , allowing Kenny King to grab the title and become the new champion
Winner: Kenny King
Backstage Segment: We see Gail and Madison arguing over who should be in the 6 person match but Gail keeps telling her its because she is the one that lost last week and she will shoe Madison how to win on the biggest stage of them all . So Madison will have to watch from the outside of the ring in the next match
Second Match
6 Person Inter-gender Elimination Match
Abyss/Robbie T/Kaityln vs Chris Harris/Robbie E/Gail Kim
Fun 6 person match , starts of with Harris and Robbie T . Harris tries to out power this massive wrestler from Wales but no luck in small distraction from Madison allowing Harris to take him down. Harris and Robbie E tag in and out to work over Robbie T and numerous close calls but Robbie T keeps kicking out . Robbie E and Harris hit a double DDT on Rob T and Gail asks to be tagged which they do and Gail comes of the top rope looking for a crossbody but Rob T just moves out of the way and tags in Kaityln who goes straight for Gail , she really un-loads aggression on Gail . But just as it looked like Kaityln was going to hit Gail with a Spear once again Madison would get involved and cause a distraction which the ref would see this and force Madison to go to the back however this would backfire as this would mean Gail would start to argue with the ref and allowed Kaityln to use this to her advantage and hit the spear on Gail to eliminate her
Gail Kim Eliminated
As Gail and Madison are being brought to the back this would leave Harris in the ring with Kaityln who would soon follow behind Gail as Harris would roll her up using the tights to get the pin and elimination
Kaityln Eliminated
Now its down to 2 on 2 as Abyss gets in the ring with Harris , both men go at it trying to get a pinfall/elimination . But as Harris was trying to lift Abyss up for the Catatonic but Abyss was able to counter it into a Black Hole Slam for the elimination
Chris Harris eliminated
Now Abyss tagged in Rob T so he could finally get his hands on Robbie E. Rob T would keep using his fists on Robbie even though the ref ordered him to stop and in the end would mean the Rob T would get DQ’d and mean he has been eliminated from the match as Robbie E just looked on laughing
Robbie T Eliminated
As the ref tried to calm down Rob T , he would turn around and hit Abyss with a massive bicycle kick as everyone around looked shocked at what happened . He then picked Abyss up and hit him with a massive chokeslam as Robbie E crawled over and got the final pin and win for his team
Winner and Sole Survivor: Robbie E
Robbie E and Robbie T celebrate as they set up Abyss like this
Third Match:
Falls Count Anywhere Grudge Match
Chris Jericho vs James Storm
One of the most heated and personal rivalries we have ever seen in the FWC . The minute the bell rings both men just straight at it brawling all around the ring , punches/kicks thrown out everywhere until Jericho would sneak to the outside of the ring but is quickly followed by Storm who goes straight after Jericho dragging him from table to table then to the steel steps . Storm had Jericho set up against the steps and started to run towards Jericho but Jericho would counter it into a drop toehold into the steps which caused Storms previous head injury to re-open and start to bleed
Jericho just smiled and kept hit storms head against the steel steps . Jericho would then setup Storms head against the steps and picked up a chair but as he swung luckily storm was able to move out of the way . Storm started to battle back and ended up throwing Jericho over the barricade into the crowd , Storm would get onto the barricade and hit a diving clothesline onto Jericho for the first pinfall attempt of the match but only getting a 2 count . Storm dragged Jericho all through the crowd using anything he could find to punish Jericho with and even took items from the fans in the crowd (such as laptops , Jericho’s autobiographies etc) . He then put Jericho on a fans seat and was setting up to hit the last call but Jericho would move and Storm would hit the fan with a kick by accident this allowed Jericho to rake the eyes and head back over the barricade , again Storm was not far behind. As Storm was following Jericho , Jericho had picked up a set of brass knuckles and would hit storm right in the ribs , he then hit him on the side of his head , but instead of going for a proper pin Jericho went for his cocky pin attempt which clearly didn’t work as Storm would kick out at 2.5 . Jericho would start looking under the ring for weapons and picked up a table and set it up in the middle of the ring , Jericho would grab Storm’s life-less body into the ring . He set Storm up on the table and went to the top rope , but as Jericho came of the top rope Storm was able to move out of the way sending Jericho crashing through the table. Sadly Storm was not able to make a pinfall but by the time Jericho started to get back to his feet so did Storm and was looking to go for the last call again but Jericho was able to counter it into the walls of Jericho, Storm tried to crawl to the ropes but Jericho was able to drag him back into the middle of the ring , eventually storm was able to counter out of the Walls and connect with Eye of the Storm for a close call but Jericho would also fell out of the ring after the pinfall , as storm was trying to get Jericho back into the ring Jericho would try hit Storm with a beer bottle but Storm was able to grab it out of Jericho’s hand before he could do any damage but Jericho would hit a low blow on storm followed by a codebreaker , Jericho would go for the pin but somehow Storm was able to kick out just at the last moment . Jericho took Storm onto the announcers table and was about to set up for another codebreaker but Storm was able to counter and hit the spear crashing both men through the table , Storm was able to get his shoulder over Jericho but Jericho was able to kick out. Both men slowly got to their feet and went towards the ring , Jericho thought he was clever by bring back in the brass knuckles but he didn’t realise that Storm had brought in a beer bottle and would crack one over Jericho’s head now busted open . Instead of going for the pin Storm would get another bottle and break it over Jerichos head followed by the eye of the storm for the win
Winner: James Storm
Main Event
Triple Threat For The World Heavyweight Championship
Edge (c) vs Austin Aries vs Jeff Hardy
The main event of Redemption has finally arrived and what a match its gonna be. Aries starts by going after both Hardy and Edge trying to prove who is going to win the title. For a short time we actually see a Hardy/Edge team hitting a double suplex but its not long before Edge and Hardy are battling out and Hardy throws Edge out of the ring . Hardy was about to hit a crossbody from the inside of the ring to the outside until Aries attacked Hardy . He irish whipped Hardy but Hardy would avoid and duck under Aries and hit a diving senton onto Edge to the outside . Aries then followed with a diving elbow to both Hardy and Edge . Aries would pick up Hardy and brainbuster him on the outside so now its a 1 on 1 match for the time being . Edge would gain control as Aries was getting into the ring and would be in control for a good bit of the match with lots of near falls . Edge would start working over Aries’s neck and back with numerous submissions . Just as it looked like Edge was close to making Aries tap out but Aries was able to make a comeback on Edge . He took out Edge with a clothesline followed by a flying elbow . He then hit Edge with a running dropkick in the corner of the ring and then Aries went for his brainbuster but Edge was able to counter it into an inverted DDT , Aries was lucky enough to be able kick out and Hardy was trying to get back into the ring but Edge just kicked him knocking off the apron
Aries would go for a roll up but Edge was able to kick out before the 3 count as the match continued. Aries would keep on the attack and lock edge in the Last Chancery but just like Aries from earlier Edge was able to get to the ropes , both men started to go for a clothesline but ended up colliding with each other . While they were getting up Hardy would come off the top rope with a double dropkick to both Aries and Edge . Hardy started to feed off the fans and made a major comeback hitting moves like Whisper in the Wind and his springboard dropkick . When it looked like Hardy was about to hit the twist of fate on Edge , Aries would kick Hardy in the stomach and set up for a brainbuster but Hardy was able to drop down off Aries’s shoulders but Edge was able to hit a spear on Aries but then walked into a twist of fate from Hardy . Hardy then went up for the Swanton Bomb but Aries was able to get to Hardy before he came off the ropes. Aries and Hardy would start to battle on the top , until Edge got involved . It looked like Aries was gonna hit a superplex on Hardy while Edge tried a backdrop but Hardy was able to hold on while Edge hit the backdrop on Aries , Hardy took advantage and hit the Swanton Bomb on Aries for the win
Winner and New World Heavyweight Champion: Jeff Hardy
