Edge and Christian d. Dave Batista and Scott Steiner via Pinfall at 10:17
AJ Styles and Christopher Daniels d. Paul Birchill and Lance Cade via Pinfall at 11:22



[[ The Glory logo flashes across the screen after the intro video hits. We flash into the arena, jam-packed full of people from top to bottom. We see some signs of all shapes and colors. The fans are hot for the first Glory after the event that was Canadian Collision last week. Before the fans can settle down, "Sexy Boy" hits. The fans remain on their feet, popping loudly for Shawn Michaels as he comes out from the curtain and down the ramp. He looks none too happy, but dressed sharply in a suit. He enters the ring and grabs the microphone as the fans chant "H-B-K! H-B-K!" ]]

Shawn Michaels: Thank you.

[[ The fans finally stop chanting and cheering as HBK gets down to business. ]]

Shawn Michaels: As you all know by now, last week in Calgary.. Bret Hart screwed me out of the LoC title.

[[ Boos. Michaels looks disgusted. ]]

Shawn Michaels: And to say I never saw it coming, well.. That'd make me a liar. Ya' see, I knew Danielson had an Ace up his sleeve when I let him pick the stipulation to our title match. I just wasn't expecting Bret Hart. I don't think anyone was. And as soon as Bret Hart was named referee, I knew I was gonna' be climbin' up a steep hill to get my hands on that title.

[[ He pauses. ]]

Shawn Michaels: Bret Hart had the chance to put almost ten years of bitterness and hostility behind him. He had to chance to prove to all of his critics that he isn't a whiner and a complainer. Instead, he chose to look out for himself, and try to be the "Canadian Hero" that caused him to be screwed in the first place.

[[ Michaels looks all around the arena, collecting his next thought. ]]

Shawn Michaels: Bryan Danielson, don't you think you got off that easily. You and I, my friend, we are no where near through!

[[ Huge crowd reaction for Shawn's calling out of the champion. ]]

Shawn Michaels: The time for you and I to go another round for that LoC World title will come again very soon.. But for right now, I have bigger fish to fry, and other graves to fill.

[[ Shawn looks dead into the camera. ]]

Shawn Michaels: Bret Hart.. I know you're watching at home right now. Last week at Canadian Collision, it couldn't have gotten better for you. Your nephews won the LoC Tag titles, your niece made her debut, helping them win.. And then you got your 'revenge' on me, by costing me the LoC title. So here's what I think..

[[ Michaels looks dead serious, still staring into the camera like he's talking only to Hart. ]]

Shawn Michaels: If you're well enough to kick my feet off the ropes and give me a right hand right across the face after the match.. I consider you well enough for.. ONE.. MORE.. MATCH!

[[ Fans start chanting "ONE MORE MATCH! ONE MORE MATCH!" ]]

Shawn Michaels: One more match, Bret.. One more time, for all times. You and I in this ring at PRIDE, May 20th, on pay-per-view!

[[ The fans erupt big time! The possibility of that match has them flipping out. ]]

Shawn Michaels: Win or lose, you and I are done forever, Bret! It's time for you and I to move on to bigger and better things. We've had two of the greatest careers in wrestling history, and I think it'd be a shame if all the people remembered us by is something that happened ten years ago that you refuse to let die.

[[ He continues after a brief pause. ]]

Shawn Michaels: So Bret Hart, I've laid out the challenge. It's all up to you to make your decision. I gave you a free shot at me last week, and you laid me out on my tail... Well, here's your opportunity to lay me out.. For good!

[[ He yields a devilish smirk on his face. ]]

Shawn Michaels: Bret Hart versus Shawn Michaels.. No Vince McMahon to ring the bell. No World titles on the line. No one jumping ship to another company to reflect the outcome.. Just two rivals who thrive off bettering one another in the same ring at the same time to finish business. Bret, don't let this situation eat at you for another ten years..

[[ Michaels is almost sympathetic. ]]

Shawn Michaels: If you want your revenge, Bret, I'll see you in Kansas City on May 20.

[[ Michaels lays down the microphone in the center of the ring and leaves. Will Bret Hart accept the challenge Shawn Michaels has laid out for him? ]]


Match Three: Singles Match
CM Punk
vs. Lance Storm

Lance Storm is still noticeably pissed from the earlier segment in which he was embarrassed by Colt Cabana, so he's looking to take it out on Colt's friend, CM Punk. The match went back and forth, with both men gaining near falls on the other. Storm had Punk locked in the Straight Shooter, until Colt Cabana came to ringside. Storm let go and dove to the outside and started punching away on Colt! Storm jumps back up on the apron, but Colt grabs Storm by the waist and PULLS HIS TIGHTS DOWN! Storm's freaking out, trying to get his pants pulled back up, but before he can.. Roll-up by Punk! One, two, three! CM Punk has beaten Lance Storm and Colt Cabana has humiliated Lance Storm!

Winner: CM Punk via Pinfall (20:48)


[[ We go backstage in a locker room where we see Chris Sabin getting ready for his match tonight against Bryan Danielson. Carlito, Val Venis, and the Hardy Boys are sitting around with him, not really doing anything since they all have the night off tonight. Sabin looks anxious, even nervous for this match.  ]]

Carlito: Are you ready for tonight, Chris?

Chris Sabin: Yeah, I guess so.

Jeff Hardy: I love LoC and everything it stands for, I don't want to see that World title leave this company.. But I hope you kick Danielson's ass tonight.

Matt Hardy: Yeah, definitely. Someone has to.

[[ Sabin smirks, trying to remain humble. ]]

Chris Sabin: I'm going to do my best.. It's all I can do. Danielson's a great wrestler and a hell of a champion, though.

Bryan Danielson: Damn right I am.

[[ Bryan Danielson walks into the picture, Sabin stands to greet him. Danielson has the LoC World title on his left shoulder. ]]

Bryan Danielson: Sabin, Sabin, Sabin.. What are you thinking trying to come into no man's land and take MY title belt away from me?

Chris Sabin: Hey, you sent out the contracts to all the promotions in the world. You didn't say who could or couldn't sign one.

Bryan Danielson: I have nothing against you showing up to challenge me. It's nothing to me. I'm just trying to look out for your health and well-being, Sabin. I'm a killing machine. I am the best wrestler in the world! I take people to the distance and back again to places they never thought they could go!

[[ Sabin swallows hard, still looking very confident to Danielson. ]]

Bryan Danielson: There's not a man in this company, or anywhere in the world who can take me to my limit. Not Carlito, not the Hardy Boys, not Shawn Michaels as we saw last week.. And definitely not you. I am the League of Champions WORLD Heavyweight Champion. I took this title to Japan! I've defended it against all comers.. And everyone I've defended it against, they've bitten the bullet. Sabin, tonight, you'll be no different.

Chris Sabin: We'll see about that.

Bryan Danielson: There's people like Kurt Angle begging for LoC title shots right now, and here you are with one, and Beef Wellington from WRESTLE! coming in next week to take his crack at my title. So Sabin, consider yourself lucky.. Just ask yourself tonight when you're in the hospital.. "Was it worth it?"

[[ Danielson's doing his best to bully Sabin. ]]

Bryan Danielson: Because the answer's going to be "No."

[[ Danielson holds the LoC title in the air, staring a hole right through Sabin, who returns the glance. We go to the ring. ]]


Match Two: Tag Team Match
The James Gang
 vs. MnM

The James Gang are making their return to the LoC ring after their big debut and promo. Mercury and Nitro are coming off a big win over the Dudley Boys, making them leave LoC on an extended break. This match was a good back and forth tag match, lots of tags between the two teams. The finish comes as BG James sets Mercury up for the piledriver, and Kip spikes him off the top rope after hitting Nitro with the Fame-Asser! One, two, three! The James Gang has ended the momentum MnM has been building!

Winner: The James Gang via Pinfall  (13:36)

[[ BG James grabs the mic after the match. He's winded, but he speaks, looking right into the camera. ]]

BG James: All those weeks ago when Kip and I debuted here in LoC, we weren't joking about being the number one tag team here. We mean business. SGW screwed us over, and we're here, right now, League of Champions.. To make things right.

[[ He paces around the ring with Kip behind him. ]]

BG James: We just laid waste to the team who ran the Dudleyz out of this company. So right here, right now is Boise.. Kip, BG, The James Gang.. WE WANT THE GOLD!

[[ BG slams the mic down on the apron as they leave, letting everyone know they want the LoC Tag Titles! ]]


[[ After the match the camera switches we get a view of a desk in a random spot in the backstage area. We see Colt Cabana wearing one of those printed on suit t-shirts, sitting behind the desk. His LoC Pure title, a picture of a water-skiing squirrel, and a coffee cup rest on the desk. Colt is thumping the cup with his finger while singing a little song. ]]

Colt Cabana: Don't want to do this interview because Lance Storm is so out there! I pulled down his tights and showed the whole world his underwear! Lance Storm is so boring.. Rather watch a match featuring Danny Doring.. I just wanna' sit here and thump on this mug all day! Hey!

[[ He notices the camera. ]]

Colt Cabana: Oh hi! I'm Colt. Colt Cabana. LoC Pure Wrestling Champion.

[[ Smile. ]]

Colt Cabana: And at this time, I'd like to welcome all your fans to another edition of "Good Times, Great Memories!" Today, we have an awesome show lined up with a great guest! That's right, baby! Lance Storm, the man who's challenged myself to a Pure title match is on the show today!

[[ The camera pans over, revealing that Lance Storm has been sitting there the whole time. ]]

Colt Cabana: Lance, you've been here the whole time?

Lance Storm: Yes.

Colt Cabana: That's the thing about you, man.. You're so cold and boring, that, if I saw you for the first time just then, I'd thought you were dead and already stiffened.

[[ Storm shows no response. ]]

Lance Storm: I'd rather we just continue this interview.

Colt Cabana: Right on.. First thing's first.. Why do you want a shot at the title?

Lance Storm: Quite simple. You're the representative of pure wrestling, and that, to me, is a total insult to people like myself, Chris Benoit, William Regal.. People who have fought their entire lives in this business, respecting those who actually wrestle.

[[ Continuing. ]]

Lance Storm: You and your offbeat shenanigans are everything that is wrong with, not only this business, but the entire world as a whole.

Colt Cabana: Yeah, I hear shenanigans causes wars.

[[ Colt glances into the camera, rolling his eyes. ]]

Lance Storm: I want a shot at your title so I can win it, and restore the prestige and meaning behind the title. I thrive off pure wrestling. I am a no gimmick necessary type of wrestler. All I need to do is wrestle.

Colt Cabana: I did like the cabbage patch dancing Lance Storm.

Lance Storm: I didn't.

Colt Cabana: YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST, PEOPLE! Lance Storm HATED the cabbage patch dance!

Lance Storm: I want to get back to the task at hand. I want the title shot, Colt. I want it at PRIDE. You and I, one-on-one, submission match!

[[ Colt's eyes grow wide. ]]

Colt Cabana: SUBMISSION MATCH!?

[[ Colt slaps his cheeks, Home Alone style. ]]

Colt Cabana: DANGEROUS!

[[ Colt reaches down and slaps a clipboard with multiple pieces of paper on it  on the table and hands Storm a pen. ]]

Colt Cabana: I just so happen to have a contract right here if you want to sign it and make it official.

Lance Storm: Absolutely.

[[ Lance flips to the back page without reading any of it and signs. He extends his hand to Colt. ]]

Lance Storm: May the best man win the match. But when I win, Colt, don't be surprised. Your tomfoolery will catch up with you on May 20!

Colt Cabana: Right on, brother!

[[ Lance stands up and walks off the camera's view. ]]

Colt Cabana: Lance Storm everybody!

[[ Colt chuckles as he flips to the back page and takes out the paper. He shows it to the camera, and we see Lance Storm's signature at the bottom. Colt reads the paper off for us. ]]

Colt Cabana: I do here admit that I like to Google pictures of Jamie Lynn Spears on the internet daily. I also admit that I get a tingling sensation in my pants every time I lock up a collar and elbow tie-up with another man inside the ring. The special region on my body gets stiff like a Bubba Ray Dudley chop every time I think about Chris Benoit wrestling Kurt Angle. Oh yeah, I also agree to fight Colt Cabana while dancing my way to the ring.. Signed.

[[ Zoom in on the signature. Colt peeks over the top of the paper. ]]

Colt Cabana: Lance Storm.

[[ He lays the paper down on the desk, laughing. ]]

Colt Cabana: He's gonna' FLIP when he sees this!

[[ Fade. ]]


Match Three: LoC Elite Title
Randy Orton
vs. Val Venis


This match wasn't even competitive at all. Orton is a new man since winning the Elite title two weeks ago and coming off a big win last week against CM Punk. Venis fought hard, but he doesn't have the same momentum he did at one time, and he was make into a fool by Orton. An RKO finishes the job as Orton covers and gets the win, retaining his Elite title.

Orton celebrates, holding his title in the air as CM Punk comes out on the stage to sarcastically applaud Orton.

Winner: Randy Orton via Pinfall  (7:25)
STILL LoC Elite Champion


[[ After the match, we cut backstage where we see Teddy Hart, Harry Smith, Chris Harris, and James Storm having an exchange of words. We catch them right in the middle of the conversation. ]]

James Storm: Boys, it's time we get 'at title shot you was talkin' 'bout last week at Canadian Collision.

Chris Harris: Yep, and when we get it, don't be making future plans with those titles.

[[ Harry and Teddy look at their belts, then back to AMW. ]]

Teddy Hart: You two can have a shot, but when we beat your asses, make you look like a couple punk bitches, don't be comin' back, asking for another shot!

Harry Smith: These titles aren't going anywhere any time soon.

Teddy Hart: Nope. We beat one of the greatest teams in this business in the Hardys to win these straps.. You two? Pff, not even gonna' be a challenge.

Chris Harris: The Hardys were the best team in the late-90's. Us, we're the best team of the new millennium!

[[ Harris and Storm get knocked down from behind. Hart and Smith look at who did it, THE KINGS OF WRESTLING! They used to be in Solid Gold Wrestling! ]]

Chris Hero: WE'RE THE BEST TEAM OF THE NEW MILLENNIUM!!

[[ Claudio smokes Teddy Hart with a steel chair shot in the face! Harry lunges at the Kings of Wrestling, trying to fight, but the numbers game gets to him. Chris Hero smacks Harry's head against the wall, chair shot from Claudio! Chris Hero grabs the Tag titles laying on the ground, and hands one of them to Claudio. ]]

Chris Hero: We'll take these.. They'd be ours anyway, may as well cut to the chase.

[[ Claudio looks at his belt, smiles, and gives Chris Hero a thumbs up. ]]

Claudio Castagnoli: Great success!

[[ Chris Hero turns to the camera. ]]

Chris Hero: Ladies and gentlemen, your new LoC World Tag Team Champions.. The KINGS OF WRESTLING!

[[ He smirks. ]]

Chris Hero: That's right.. The KINGS OF WRESTLING are now here in League of Champions!

[[ Chris Hero and Claudio Castagnoli have stolen the titles and left two of LoC's best teams laying on the ground! The tag team division here in LoC is definitely beginning to heat up more than ever! ]]


Match Four: Singles Match
John Cena
vs. Tyson Tomko

Tomko jumps Cena before the match starts as Trish yells out directions on the floor. The brawl spills to the outside where Tomko drops Cena's face on the guardrail. The beat down continues until Cena blocks Tomko from slamming his face into the ring steps. Tomko charges, drop-toe hold, TOMKO'S FACE CRASHES INTO THE STEPS! Back inside, Cena took over from there. Tomko goes for the big boot, Cena ducks, F-U! STFU locked on! Tomko taps before he can get to the ropes! Cena's won another, and the fans still haven't taken to Cena since his debut.

Winner: John Cena via Submission (17:36)


[[ In the interview area Michael Cole is joined by Vince Russo, Jay Lethal in his Macho Man attire, Kenny in the mock-Owen Hart singlet he had on during Mayhem, Paul Birchill, Lance Cade, and Randy Orton. ]]

Michael Cole: LoC fans, right now I am joined by Vince Russo and some members of Sports Entertainment Xtreme. Vince, last week you mentioned that you were debuting new members of your faction this week on Glory.

Vince Russo: That's right, Cole. Ladies and gentlemen, at this time, I'm gonna' introduce to you all, da' newest members of Sports Entertainment Xtreme.. JEAN PIERRE LAFITTE!

[[ Birchill looks confused as he raises his eyepatch and leans into the microphone. ]]

Paul Birchill: ARGH! ME NAME'S PIRATE PAUL BIRCHILL!

Vince Russo: Then we got HB CADE!

[[ Lance Cade steps forward, wearing old Shawn Michaels ring gear. HB Cade goes to speak, but Russo cuts him off and continues speaking himself. ]]

Vince Russo: And right here, I got a man who'll gladly prove all those rumors about his death back in '99 false.. Ladies and gentlemen, right from 'da motha' fuckin' grave.. OWEN HART!

[[ Kenny step forward, shaking his head in disbelief. ]]

Kenny: Do I have to?

Vince Russo: Say it, you piece o'shit!

Kenny: Enough.. Is enough.. And it's time for a change.

[[ Russo smiles. ]]

Vince Russo: SEX IS TAKIN' OVA' LoC, BAY-BEE! I'M BRINGIN' 'EM IN FROM 'DA PAST, 'DA PRESENT, AND 'DA FUCKIN' GRAVE!

Michael Cole: Vince Russo! These people aren't Pierre Lafitte, Shawn Michaels, or Owen Hart! Shawn Michaels is already in the company! Owen Hart is dead, Russo! We all saw the fall backstage that night! Paul Birchill looks NOTHING like Jean Pierre Lafitte!

Vince Russo: Hey, fuck you, Michael Cole! I never liked you!

Michael Cole: You're an idiot.

[[ Cole rolls his eyes at this sight in front of him. ]]

Michael Cole: Randy Orton, let me interview you. Earlier tonight, CM Punk watched you defeat Val Venis to retain your Elite title. This month at Pride, it'll be match two of the three match series you two will have, which you're up one to nothing.

Randy Orton: And hey, that's fine with me. Because CM Punk needs to be watching how a real champion wins matches. Last week in Calgary, I BEAT CM Punk and kept my title. This month at Pride, match two.. It'll be déjà vu all over again.

Michael Cole: Any particular match you want to face CM Punk in this month?

Randy Orton: It doesn't matter what type of match it is, Cole.. The outcome will ALWAYS be the same when CM Punk steps into the ring with me, Randy Orton, Legend Killer, LoC ELITE CHAMPION!

[[ Orton gives the camera a shot of the title as we go back to the ringside area. ]]


Match Five: LoC World Heavyweight Title
Glory Main Event
Bryan Danielson vs. Chris Sabin

Jeremy Borash: Ladies and gentlemen, the following match is scheduled for one fall. It is your Glory main event, and it is for the League of Champions WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP!

[[ Crowd pop. ]]

Jeremy Borash: Introducing first to my right.. He's from Detroit, Michigan and he weighs in at two-hundred fifteen pounds.. Ladies and gentlemen, Solid Gold Wrestling's own, CHRIS SABBBBINNNN!!!

[[ Streamers greet Sabin as he plays to the fans. Danielson bounces around the ring a little to get warmed up as Flair gives him some motivation. ]]

Jeremy Borash: And his opponent, to my left.. He is from Aberdeen, Washington.. He weighed in this morning at one-hundred ninety pounds.. He is the undefeated, reigning and defending League of Champions World Heavyweight Champion.. This is the "American Dragon" BRYAN DANIELLLSONNNN!!!

Sabin extends his hand but Danielson slaps him in the face. The match was a great display of technical wrestling. Sabin and Danielson exchanged moves and counters in the beginning. The underdog Chris Sabin constantly kept giving Bryan Danielson several near falls, making the fans afraid of an outsider winning their company's World title. After Flair was caught interfering, he was kicked out of the ringside area. Sabin rolls Danielson up and only gets a one count. Danielson reverses a Cradle Shock, getting Sabin on the ground and begins slamming elbows into his head! Sabin gets his foot on the rope, making the referee stop Danielson's beat down. Sabin grabs Danielson, and CRADLE SHOCK! One, two, NO! Sabin can't believe it, CATTLE MUTILATION! Sabin is trying his best to fight out of it, but he won't tap, and he can't get to the ropes. Sabin stays in the Mutilation for a solid two minutes until the bell rings out of no where. What the hell? Another screwjob or what? Danielson lets go of the move and raises his arms in the air as Flair hands Danielson the title.

Jeremy Borash: Ladies and gentlemen, we have reached a thirty minute TIME LIMIT DRAW!

[[ The fans boo the draw. ]]

Jeremy Borash: STILL League of Champions World Heavyweight Champion, BRYAN DANIELSON!

Winner: Time Limit Draw (30:00)
Bryan Danielson STILL LoC World Champion


[[ Danielson gets his LoC World title and stares Sabin down. The fans are applauding the efforts of both men in that awesome match. Sabin extends his hand for the handshake. Danielson looks at it, then reluctantly shakes it. The fans applaud Danielson's respect, but that appreciation lasts no time as Christian comes walking out on the ramp, talking as he walks into the ring. ]]

Christian Cage: This is such a touching moment, I hate to be the man who ruins it.

[[ Christian walks down the ramp. ]]

Christian Cage: Chris Sabin, get the hell out of the ring and go back to your own company! You don't belong in LoC - League of CHRISTIAN! And you definitely don't deserve an LoC World title shot.

[[ Christian enters the ring. Danielson goes to leave, but Christian grabs him by the arm. ]]

Christian Cage: Hold up there, Champ, this concerns you. See, I saw last week where Kurt Angle came up to you asking for a shot at the LoC Championship. Ya' know what? That PISSES me off!

[[ Danielson throws the belt over his shoulder and Christian points to it. ]]

Christian Cage: I'm gonna' throw this out there, and if you don't like it, you just throw it right back.

[[ Danielson looks bored already, not having time for his fun and games. ]]

Christian Cage: I wasn't pinned nor did I submit in that title match at Chi-Town Rumble.. So if Kurt Angle's going to get a shot at your title, he's not gonna' do it until I GET MY SHOT! I DIDN'T GET PINNED! I DIDN'T SUBMIT, DAMMIT! You winning that title was a fluke, Danielson! And right here, right now.. I want my shot!

[[ Danielson lays down the title belt and Christian rips off his jacket. KURT ANGLE HITS THE RING! GERMAN SUPLEX ON CHRISTIAN CAGE! Christian flops around on the mat like a fish out of water. Angle stares down Danielson, pointing at the LoC World title. Before anything else can happen, Jim Cornette comes out on the ramp to stop the mayhem. ]]

James E. Cornette: HOLD UP! HOLD UP!

[[ Angle and Danielson freeze as Christian slowly climbs the ropes to his feet. ]]

James E. Cornette: We ain't gonna' have a riot on our hands. We're the company that settles things the right way around here. Christian, you have a valid point. You weren't the one pinned or the one that gave up in Chicago, Kurt was.

[[ Boos, Christian smiles. ]]

James E. Cornette: Now, the first thing comes to my mind is making the main event for PRIDE, the first-ever LoC pay-per-view.. May 20, 2007, live from Kansas City, Missouri.. A triple threat match.

[[ Cheers. ]]

James E. Cornette: But we already saw that once, and it was won by Bryan Danielson.

[[ Boos. Danielson holds the title high. ]]

James E. Cornette: So here's what we're gonna' do to give each man an even shot. Christian Cage, Kurt Angle.. ONE-ON-ONE NEXT WEEK ON GLORY.. WINNER FACES BRYAN DANIELSON AT PRIDE FOR THE TITLE!

[[ Huge crowd pop. Danielson shrugs it off, showing confidence. Christian's pissed, wanting his shot automatically. ]]

James E. Cornette: Danielson, you won't have the night off, either. You're gonna' be facin' Beef Wellington from WRESTLE! for the LoC World title, makin' that the end of your open contracts you sent to promotions.

[[ Christian looks at Angle, furious. ]]

James E. Cornette: Now, the show's over.. You three get the hell out of the ring and I'll see you in Salt Lake City next week!

[[ Cornette walks to the back. Danielson exits the ring with his title, giving Christian and Angle the bird. Angle and Christian have a stare down and exchange words as Glory goes off the air. Who will face Bryan Danielson for the LoC title at PRIDE? We'll find out next week on Glory! ]]

Fade out.
