It's another sold out CWA show as hordes of fans sit anxiously awaiting the beginning of tonight's big event. We then look backstage where Wyatt Gibson is making his way to his office when he is headed off by sister Jordan. Wyatt Gibson - Something up? Jordan Gibson - I wanted to let you know, I saw Eli coming in and he seems a little off. Wyatt Gibson - He is always a little off, Jordan. Jordan Gibson - No... he's a little more unstable than the usual Eli stuff. You might want to keep an eye on him. Wyatt Gibson - And do what exactly? Jordan Gibson - That's not my place to say. I run the divas. The male members of the roster are your problem.
Jordan pats her brother on the shoulder
while he scowls and then we see the opening credits which feature
images of Sal Clemenzo, Gary Barber, JC Michaels, Kannon, Moose,
Dragon, Tommy Purr, Myst, Shannon Skanes, Jack Spade, Hoshi
Yakamoto, 6Pac Dudley and Eli Ryder before we head to ringside where
Ricky Simms and Henry Lesher are set to call tonight's action. "Where Eagles Dare" by The Misfits plays as Moose makes his way onto the stage, receiving a huge ovation from the crowd as he does so. He then makes his way towards the ring, staring into the ring where he will tonight face one of his partners next week. Moose makes his way onto the ring apron and then steps through the ropes where he has a few words with referee Noah Skanes who is in his debut in this role. Moose's music then fades and we hear "My Girlfriend's Girlfriend" by Type O Negative as Scavenger makes his way onto the stage, also receiving a loud ovation from the crowd. Scavenger shakes his head as he then makes his way to the ring, the chair in his right hand. He makes his way up the ring steps onto the apron and then steps through the ropes into the ring, not placing the chair at ringside as he usually would. He then motions to his sister, Kosmic Kitty, for the microphone. Scavenger - Moose, this match would be fantastic, but something smells bad in Denmark. We start fighting and the BLPW crew will be out here beating us down. Why weaken each other when we can call them out here right now and fight them, all three of us? Moose - Three of us? Scavenger - Yeah, the chair is here to help. Moose - I feel great about that... "So What?" by Pink plays as Myst comes out onto the stage, also carrying a microphone. She doesn't appear to be impressed. Myst - You two will fight or you'll be suspended. These fans are paying to watch a match and they are going to get one tonight. Scavenger - They still get it if BLPW answers the call. They also get to watch us tool those idiots. Myst - My call stands, so it's your move now. Fight now or watch your CWA careers completely fall apart. Scavenger looks down at the chair and whispers something to it and then listens while Moose places his hand over his face and quietly curses. Scavenger paces for a moment and then tosses the chair out of the ring and attacks Mosoe with a series of forearm smashes to the jaw which drive him into the corner while the referee finally gets to call for the bell which makes the match official. Ricky Simms - It looks like the chair told Scavenger to fight. Henry Lesher - It should have told him to retire. Scavenger tosses the microphone out of the ring to Kosmic Kitty and then whips Moose to the opposite corner before charging in for a shoulder block only to meet raised knees to the chin from Moose. Moose then climbs to the second rope and then gives Scavenger a bionic elbow between the eyes. Moose follows this up with a DDT to the mat before rolling Scavenger over for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Scavenger. Moose then stands Scavenger up, whips him off the ropes and then gives him a backdrop to the mat. Moose then lands a knee drop to the forehead on Scavenger before he again goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Scavenger who then rolls himself out to the floor. Ricky Simms - Scavenger is getting the worst of it here. Henry Lesher - I stand by my retirement statement. Moose drops and rolls himself out to the floor with Scavenger. Moose stands Scavenger up and misses with a right when Scavenger blocks it and then Scav gives Moose a head butt followed by a series of knife edge chops to the chest. Scavenger then slams Moose's head into the guard railing and then rolls him back into the ring. Scavenger slides unde the bottom rope and goes for the pinon Moose. 1...2... kick out by Moose. Scavenger then stands Moose up, whips him off the ropes and misses with a clothesline as Moose ducks it and then gives Scavenger a reverse neck breaker to the mat. Moose then goes to the ropes and starts to make his way to the top. We then see Eternity and Dragon rushing down the ramp towards the ring. Ricky Simms - This is what Scavenger and Moose knew would happen. Henry Lesher - They're idiots for wrestling anyway. Scavenger is a coward. Moose sees Dragon and Eternity coming, turns and lands a double clothesline to the floor on them while the referee calls for the bell and Scavenger rolls himself out to the floor. Scavenger and Moose are then brawling with each other while Myst again appears on stage, this time without the entrance music. Myst - I cannot believe this is happening again. Since there is an eight man tag match next week involving the four of you and your allies, I am going to place that match inside a steel cage and declare it Survivor Series rules. One team wins and the other is eliminated.
She exits while the scrum at ringside
continues, security finally rushing out to split everyone up. Neriah Sweet - Eli, a moment of your time? Eli Ryder - I am the champ now. I have everyone after me, you know. Neriah Sweet - It does usually happen that way. The champs are the hunted. Eli Ryder - That's where you're wrong. This champ will not be hunted. I will be the aggressor. Neriah Sweet - Anyone is particular you're targeting? Eli Ryder - It could be anyone. Some days, it's so hard to keep it all together. Neriah Sweet - Malk has been the same way himself. Eli Ryder just shakes his head and walks off, mumbling that no one understands what he is going through.
Neriah Sweet - I guess that's it from me
for now. "Mrs. Robinson" by Simon and Garfunkel plays as Mrs. Robinson makes her way onto the stage, the crowd giving her a lukewarm reaction tonight. She makes her way down the ramp towards the ring and then jumps onto the apron before she steps through the ropes into the ring. She then talks to referee Mary Sanderson while her music fades and then we hear "Suicide Messiah" by Black Label Society and JC Michaels comes out to loud boos from the crowd. He makes his way down the ramp towards the ring and shakes his head as he looks into the ring at the opposition before asking the camera if they plan to send a wrestler to face him tonight. Ricky Simms - JC is not impressed with his first round opponent tonight. Henry Lesher - I can't say I blame him. Tommy Purr would have been ideal on so many levels. JC steps up onto the apron, sees that a woman will be refereeing the match and momentarily considers walking back to the locker room. Instead, he slowly steps through the ropes into the ring and then stands in the corner, looking back and forth between his opponent and the referee. He breathes a heavy sigh and moves out of the corner towards Robinson while the referee gets to call for the bell to make the match official. Michaels thumbs Robinson in the eye while moving in for a lock up and then knees her in the gut before he gives her a tilt a whirl back breaker and then he goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Mrs. Robinson which draws a smirk from Michaels. Michaels then stands Robinson up, whips her off the ropes and then gives her a shoulder block back to the mat where he again tries for the pin. 1...2... Mrs. Robinson rolls a shoulder out. Ricky Simms - JC is not impressed with his first round match up here tonight, but he is still going to wrestle the match. Henry Lesher - It's a title tournament. Of course he will. If he wins the TV title, he gets the admiration and respect of me. What could be better? JC stands Catherine up, whips her into the corner buckle and then misses with a shoulder block as she side steps it. She then pulls JC by the hair down to the mat where she applies a headlock. JC quickly gets to his feet and gives Catherine an elbow to the gut that breaks her hold. She then grabs JC by the hair again and pulls him down to the mat where she applies a boot choke on him, using the ropes for added leverage. She breaks the choke before the referee can reach a five count, then stands JC up, whips him off the ropes and lands a dropkick on him. That causes him to fall backwards and through the ropes and out to the floor. Catherine drops and rolls herself out to the floor after him. She stands JC up and takes a jawbreaker from JC who then gives her a drop toe which sends her crashing face first into the guard railing. JC then stands Catherine up and rolls her into the ring before doing the same himself. He then goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Catherine Robinson. Ricky Simms - She is proving herself to be a tough opponent here. Henry Lesher - She's in over her head. She should have sent Tommy out here instead. We can never have enough Tommy Purr around this place. JC stands Catherine up, whips her into the corner buckle and then gives her a clothesline to the mat from there. He then stands Robinson up, whips her off the ropes, picks her up and spins her around before giving her the Samoan Stunner to the mat where he again goes for the pin. 1...2...3! JC Michaels has won his first round match tonight. Ricky Simms - Very impressive finish to that one. If JC can hit that move a couple of move times tonight, we are looking at the first CWA TV champion. Henry Lesher - He's the best wrestler entered into the tournament for sure.
JC rolls himself out to the floor and
shakes his head as he makes his way up the ramp. Wyatt Gibson - Who is it? Kannon opens the door and looks in. Kannon - It's me boss and.... what's the the bat? Wyatt Gibson - I thought maybe it would be Sal. Kannon - You think holding a baseball bat will help? Maybe if you had some actual strength... Wyatt Gibson - So you came here to insult me? Kannon - No, I just got word that Pyro no showed tonight. Wyatt Gibson - Yeah, it's left me with a problem. You need an opponent for the first round tonight. Kannon - Give me anyone. I guarantee a win tonight. Wyatt Gibson - *smiles* You're cocky. Kannon - I am the best there is, Wyatt and everyone will know that when I win this title tonight.
He leaves the office while Wyatt nods to
himself. "C-lebrity" by Queen and Paul Rogers plays as Kira Yakamoto comes out, the crowd giving her a warm reception while she quickly makes her way down the ramp towards the ring. She stops at ringside and looks around at the crowd before she makes her way up the ring steps onto the apron and then steps through the ropes into the ring. She then tests the ropes while her music fades and then we hear "What I've Done" by Linkin Park and AJ Cameron makes his way onto the stage where the crowd greets him with a decent pop. He makes his way down the ramp towards the ring and high fives a few fans at ringside before he climbs onto the ring apron and then steps through the ropes into the ring. Ricky Simms - This is an interesting match up. Henry Lesher - Yeah, I feel like killing myself, too. Referee Casey Braun calls for the bell and AJ moves in to lock up with Kira. AJ then shoves Kira into the corner and then gives her a series of kicks to the gut before he gives her a hip toss to the middle of the ring. He then whips her to the opposite corner and then gives her a backdrop to the middle of the ring where he then delivers a leg drop to the neck on her and then goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Kira. AJ then stands Kira up, whips her off the ropes and then misses with a dropkick as Kira side steps it and then she gives AJ an elbow smash to the chest before he has a chance to get up. Kira then stands AJ up, whips him off the ropes and then gives him a handspring head scissors take down to the mat where she quickly applies a sleeper hold on AJ. Ricky Simms - Good back and forth action with Kira currently in control. Henry Lesher - No one cares. AJ reaches for the ropes as the crowd starts a chant for him. It's not a universal chant as some also start chanting for Kira. AJ manages to then roll himself over and is close enough to grab the bottom rope which forces the break. AJ then uses the ropes to get to his feet where Kira then gives him a series of kicks to the chest before she then whips him off the ropes and then gives AJ a lariat to the mat where she goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by AJ Cameron. Kira then stands AJ up, whips him into the corner buckle and then rushes in and perches herself on the second ropes. She starts raining down punches to the face on AJ, but he answers by grabbing her around the waist, pulling her out of the corner and then giving her a sit down power bomb to the mat where he then goes for the pin. 1...2... Kira gets a foot on the bottom rope. Ricky Simms - I thought that was it. Henry Lesher - I didn't get my hopes up. Where is a sniper when we need one? AJ stands Kira up, whips her off the ropes and then gives her a shoulder block down to the mat. AJ then goes to the ropes and makes his way to the top. He leaps off and misses with a flying elbow smash when she rolls out of the way at the last moment. Kira then kips up to her feet. AJ gets to his feet only to take a round house kick to the chin from Kira that sends him back down to the mat. Kira goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by AJ Cameron. Kira then stands AJ up, whips him off the ropes and misses with a clothesline as he ducks it and then he gives her a knee to the back before he delivers an inverted DDT on Kira and then he goes for the pin. 1...2...3! AJ Cameron gets the win over Kira Yakamoto to advance in the TV title tournament. Ricky Simms - Fantastic showing by AJ here. Henry Lesher - It's over. That's what matters, Rick.
AJ rolls himself out of the ring to the floor and shakes off the
effects from the match as he heads back up the ramp, one step closer
to possibly becoming the first TV champion. Jordan Gibson - Just the woman I was looking for. Bombshell - What do you want? Jordan Gibson - Well, next week is the Halloween show and we want to give the fans a treat. We noticed that the amateurs on the other show are having a diva costume contest. We think our divas can do better than that. Bombshell - Meaning what? Jordan Gibson - That title of yours is up for grabs next week. It will be a real ratings grabber, too. Bombshell - Who do I face? Jordan Gibson - Well, you get to face off against anyone who wants the diva title in the first ever bra and panty gauntlet. The girls can pick their Halloween costumes and the winner is the last one still wearing theirs. That should get the ratings we need to pull. Bombshell - When I win, what do I get? Jordan Gibson - Myst knew you would ask that. She says you get a date with Shannon if you win. If you lose, you get a date with a Puck Slapper. Bombshell - *scowling* I like the first option, but the second one... not so much.
Jordan Gibson - Then you had better win. "Indestructible" by Disturbed plays as Kannon makes his way onto the stage where the crowd greets him with loud boos. He starts down the ramp towards the ring and Ebony Fairchild is seen following him down to his first round match up. Kannon climbs onto the apron and then steps through the ropes into the ring. He stands in the middle of the ring and waits while Ebony takes her place at ringside. We then hear "Where Eagles Dare" by The Misfits and Moose comes out onto the stage for the second time tonight. Kannon's eyes widen and he drops and rolls himself out of the ring to the floor. Ricky Simms - Kannon wants no part of Moose. Henry Lesher - This is hardly fair. Moose has already been inside the ring once tonight, has a huge match next week and now he's out here? They call Tommy Purr an attention whore? Who does Moose think he is? Ricky Simms - He is a legend in the CWA and he is after Kannon, renewing a fight they started recently. Kannon escapes into the crowd with Moose running after him while Ebony looks baffled with this turn of events. We then hear "Somebody Told Me" by The Killers and Wyatt Gibson makes his way onto the stage, shaking his head. Wyatt Gibson - Apparently, Kannon didn't want any part of Moose here tonight. This means that he forfeits his place in the rest of the tournament and whoever wins the last match between Malk and Dragon will battle JC Michaels and AJ Cameron in a triple threat match for the title tonight. That's why I am the GM and you're all out there eating potato chips. I can think on my feet. I am that smart. Wyatt exits the stage and the camera shows Moose and Kannon brawling in the aisle, security struggling to get them apart. Moose throws a chair at Kannon as the big man continues to retreat. Ricky Simms - This feud between Kannon and Moose is heating up.
Henry Lesher - Even I don't mind that
battle. At least they can both fight. Chastity - Wow, a welcoming committee. Bombshell - I heard you were here and I wanted to talk to you about something. Chastity - Okay... Bombshell - I am the resident queen bee of the CWA. I am going to become Shannon Skanes' girlfriend very soon. I have my own segment on Overdrive. Chastity - Did you want a cookie? Bombshell - No, I want you to stay out of my business. I heard you were pitching a Glamour Girls segment to Jordan and I wanted to let you know that will not be happening. Chastity - I don't see how that's really your call. That's up to Jordan. Bombshell - I won't allow it. Chastity - How will you stop it from happening? Bombshell - I am very resourceful. I didn't get where I am by being second best. Chastity - No, you got where you are by being the easiest girl in the CWA.
Bombshell drills Chastity across the forehead with the Diva title
and then stands over her for a few moments. Chastity is motionless
and bleeding over the left eye. Bombshell slowly starts to smile
while looking down at the fallen diva while we return to the action. "Vicarious" by Tool plays as Dragon makes his way onto the stage for tonight's final round one match in the TV title tournament. He receives loud boos from the crowd and shakes his head as he looks out towards the fans and then makes his way down the ramp towards the ring. He stands at ringside for a moment before he pulls himself onto the apron and then steps through the ropes into the ring. He then has a few words with referee Mark Davis while his music fades and then we hear "Voices" by Rev Theory and Malk makes his way onto the stage. The crowd gives Malk the loudest ovation we have heard so far tonight as he makes his way down the ramp towards the ring and he quickens his pace on his way down the ramp. He then quickly slides under the bottom rope into the ring where he starts brawling with Dragon while the referee calls for the bell. Ricky Simms - I don't know how much technical wrestling we are going to see between these two. Henry Lesher - Hey, it's all about hatred and these two are full of it. That's what we want to see. Malk and Dragon exchange punches and knife edge chops while the fans cheer. Dragon then eye gouges Malk and then rakes his eyes along the top rope before he whips Malk off the ropes and then gives him a backdrop over the top rope and out to the floor. Dragon then goes to the corner buckle and then climbs to the top rope. Malk gets to his feet and takes a flying dropkick to the chest from Dragon which sends him back down to the floor. Dragon then stands Malk up and whips him shoulder first into the steel ring steps. Dragon then stands Malk up, then rolls him into the ring ebfore rolling himself into the ring where he then goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Malk. Dragon then pulls Malk to the middle of the ring and then applies a sharp shooter on Malk. The referee checks for a submission, but Malk refuses to give up. Ricky Simms - Malk is being dominated by Dragon early in this one. Henry Lesher - This is why Moose should back out of this match next week. These guys are losers. They will just drag him down. Malk starts to pull himself towards the ropes while Dragon tries to maintain his hold. Malk pushes himself up from the mat and walks on his elbows towards the ropes, ignoring the pain he's in from the hold. Malk then lunges and grabs the bottom rope which forces the break. The referee orders a break of the hold. Dragon shakes his head and refuses to release his hold on Malk as we now see Gary Barber, JC Michaels and Eternity rushing into the ring. The referee calls for the bell a moment before JC Michaels gives him a clothesline to the mat and Eternity dumps the official out of the ring. The four men then start beating down Malk while the fans boo and Malk is announced as the winner by disqualification. Ricky Simms - This was a mugging, not a match. Henry Lesher - This is great. Dragon humiliates Malk and he won't be ready to go later in the title match. I love this move. Dragon has bigger fish to fry than some lowly TV title. Ricky Simms - God, give it a rest. He was scared of Malk, so he threw the match. JC Michaels picks Malk up and slams him to the mat a moment before Eternity gives him a knee to the head and Barber then stands Malk up, then whips him off the ropes before he takes a double face buster to the mat from Dragon and JC Michaels. They then scatter as Scavenger, Lone Star and Moose hit the ring, each man carrying a chair to even things up. Scavenger checks on a bloodied Malk as Lone Star has words with Eternity. Ricky Simms - Lone Star and Eternity meet later tonight. It's just pure chaos anytime you mix any of these guys. Henry Lesher - I have no problem with that.
Dragon and his allies make their way up the
ramp, laughing at the carnage they left behind. JC Michaels gives
Lone Star the finger and Eternity tells the camera that this is just
the beginning. Lydia Parizi - Hoshi, tonight you have a chance to earn another shot at the title you recently lost. Any words for 6Pac at this moment? Hoshi Yakamoto - I know 6Pac. I have faced him many times. I am not worried. Cordelia Parizi - You did defeat 6Pac for that title belt when he was overconfident, but how confident are you about being able to beat him now, knowing he will be ready for you? Hoshi Yakamoto - 6Pac is always very confident. That can be a good thing, but it can work against him, too. Lydia Parizi - When do you take the big step and get into a main event again? Hoshi Yakamoto - My intention is simple, to make every match a main event. Tonight is one of those chances I get, to make my match the match of the night. Cordelia Parizi - Most people will see it as a bathroom break. Hoshi Yakamoto - I hate spoiled rich girls. She storms off while Lydia and Cordelia look stunned by that comment. Lydia Parizi - Surely she doesn't mean us.
Cordelia Parizi - Surely not! "A Torrid Love Affair" by Boy's Night Out plays as Ghost makes his way onto the stage, the crowd giving him a mixed reaction. Ghost makes his way down the ramp towards the ring and then slips under the bottom rope into the ring where he then waits for his opponent. "King of the Stereo" by Saliva plays as Jack Spade makes his way onto the stage where the crowd gives him the loudest ovation of the night. Spade then makes his way down the ramp towards the ring while Ghost motions him in. Spade jumps up onto the apron and then steps through the ropes into the ring which allows referee Rob Rai to call for the bell. Ricky Simms - The mysterious Ghost here for another match after last week's strong start. Henry Lesher - I am back to not caring already. This is sad, even for the CWA. Spade and Ghost lock up in a test of strength. They stand with neither man showing any signs of an advantage while a chant for Jack Spade starts from the crowd. Spade then seems to feed on that as he starts gaining an edge in the test of strength. Sensing he is losing the battle, Ghost releases his grip with Spade and then he gives Spade a clothesline to the mat and then gives him a knee drop to the forehead. Ghost then stands Spade up, whips him into the corner buckle and then gives him a backdrop to the middle of the ring. Ghost then goes to the corner and starts climbing the ropes. Spade gets to his feet, turns around and takes a flying cross body from Ghost who then goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Jack Spade. Ricky Simms - Ghost dominant thus far. Henry Lesher - Which means nothing. We have been over this. Ghost stands Jack Spade up, whips him off the ropes and then gives him a dropkick back down to the mat. Ghost then quickly gets to his feet and then starts putting the boots to Jack Spade who rolls himself out of the ring for a breather. Ghost drops and rolls himself out after Jack Spade. Ghost then grabs Jack Spade by the arm, but he lands a head butt on Ghost and then rams his head into the ring apron before whipping him shoulder first into the steel corner post. Jack Spade then gives Ghost a German suplex to the floor before standing him up and rolling him back into the ring where Jack then goes for the pin. 1...2... Ghost gets a foot on the bottom rope. Ricky Simms - If that pin had been further from the ropes, Spade would have won it right there. Henry Lesher - Jack needs to be aggressive like that more often. Jack Spade stands Ghost up, whips him into the corner buckle and then gives him a series of shoulder blocks there before he gives Ghost a belly to belly overhead suplex to the mat. Spade then goes to the ropes and makes his way to the top. He goes for a 450 splash from there, but Ghost rolls out of the way in time to avoid the impact and then Ghost uses the ropes to get to his feet. Jack Spade gets to his feet and takes a series of forearms to the jaw and Ghost then whips Spade off the ropes and gives him a round house kick to the chest that brings him down to the mat. Ghost then goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Jack Spade who reverses it into a small package. 1...2...3! Jack Spade gets the win this week! Ricky Simms - In Spade style, he pulls a win out of thin air tonight! Henry Lesher - That's proof it's sometimes better to be lucky than good.
There is a commotion in the crowd as
suddenly a man jumps the guardrail. He knocks the time keeper out of
their chair and then folds up the steel chair and slides into the
ring. Wyatt Gibson - *in a woman's voice* Wyatt, I'm married, I can't... I mean, I am Myst, your boss. We couldn't possibly... take me Wyatt! The dolls are then rolling around on each other while Wyatt makes kissing sounds. We hear a knock at his door and he quickly shoves the dolls into a desk drawer and slams it shut. Wyatt Gibson - *still in a woman's voice* Come in. *clears throat and uses normal voice* I mean, come in. Chastity peeks her head in the door. Chastity - Am I interrupting something? Wyatt Gibson - Looking over some contracts. Chastity - Through the desk? I don't see any. Wyatt quickly opens the top drawer of his desk and starts pulling contracts out by the handful. Wyatt Gibson - Been a long night. Chastity - I am sure it has... Wyatt Gibson - What do you want? Chastity - I got jumped by Bombshell tonight. Wyatt Gibson - Then go after her next week in the Halloween bra and panty match. Get her back or whatever. Leave me be. I am very busy. Chastity - No, you're a weird little ass kisser. Don't think the locker room doesn't know about your little crush on Myst. It's not like Malk isn't right there with you anyway. Wyatt Gibson - I am twice the man Malk is! Chastity - My my my, how defensive you get too. She laughs
and leaves the office, which allows Wyatt to resume playing with
dolls. "Halls of Fear" by Nino Rota plays as Sal Clemenzo and Shannon Skanes come out together, Bruce Miller and Cassandra O'Shea following close behind them. They are actually talking to each other on their way to the ring, not arguing as we might have expected. Sal then pulls himself onto the apron and steps through the ropes into the ring while Shannon takes his spot in their corner. Cassandra is seen talking to Bruce at ringside while they stand together, which can also be seen as surprising. Ricky Simms - We didn't expect this. I guess having the same enemies has made these two allies. Henry Lesher - That's not good. We then hear "Crazy Bitch" by Buckcherry as Tommy Purr and Frank Merritt, former CWA tag team champions, make their way onto the stage. The crowd gives them a loud ovation. Tommy leads the way down the ramp while Frank looks as pleasant as usual. Tommy then pulls himself onto the apron and then steps through the ropes into the ring. Frank takes his place in the corner while Sal smirks at Tommy inside the ring and referee Steve Blake calls for the bell to get things started. Tommy offers to shake hands with Sal. Sal simply shakes his head and then slaps Tommy across the face. Tommy swings at Sal and Sal ducks a punch and then gives Tommy an atomic drop and then gives him a knee to the gut followed by a snap suplex to the mat where Sal then applies an ankle lock on Tommy. Tommy quickly rolls over and kicks Sal to the corner buckle while he gets to his feet. Tommy then tags in Frank Merritt. Frank steps through the ropes and moves in on Sal. Sal ducks a right hook, but takes a knee lift to the gut from Frank who then gives Sal a sidewalk slam to the mat. Frank then goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Sal. Ricky Simms - The former tag champs have the experience advantage over Shannon and Sal as a team. Henry Lesher - They have every advantage. They are Frank and Tommy, perfection personified. Frank stands Sal up, whips him into a neutral corner and then charges in for a spear to the mat on Sal. Sal rolls himself out of the ring to the floor which brings Frank out in pursuit. Frank picks Sal up and drops him on the guard railing, catching Sal's throat on the steel. Frank then stands Sal up and whips him towards the steel corner post, but Bruce Miller grabs Sal by the arm and stops him. Bruce then has a few words with Frank and turns to the referee about allowing these tactics. Frank then rolls himself back into the ring while shaking his head. Frank gets to his feet and places Sal in a sleeper while shouting at Bruce Miller outside the ring. Ricky Simms - Bruce helped Sal there which is odd. Henry Lesher - Bruce and Shannon know they cannot take on the whole CWA by themselves, so they need allies where they can find them, even if that means Sal. Sal refuses to submit in the sleeper and then he manages to grab the top rope as Frank has cinched the hold in too close to the ropes. Frank does release Sal before pulling him to his corner where he tags in Tommy Purr. Tommy and Frank then give Sal a double vertical suplex to the mat where Tommy goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Sal Clemenzo as we see Cassandra and Bruce talking on the floor. Tommy stands Sal up, whips him off the ropes and Sal ducks a clothesline and gives Tommy an elbow to the gut before placing him in a headlock and then giving him a bulldog to the mat. Sal then rolls to his corner and tags in Shannon. Shannon enters the ring and backdrops a charging Frank Merritt and then picks Tommy up and slams him to the mat before dodging a charge from Frank and then Shannon whips Frank into the corner and then whips him into Tommy Purr, which causes both men to fall to the mat. Shannon then lands a springboard splash onto the fallen Purr before going for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Tommy. Shannon then stands Tommy up and whips him into the corner and then gives him an arm drag back to the middle of the ring. Tommy manages to land on his feet and then gives Shannon a thumb to the eye before giving him a knee to the gut and then a double under hook suplex to the mat where Tommy then goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Shannon Skanes. Ricky Simms - Tommy with a strong comeback here. Henry Lesher - Tommy is a Greek God. Tommy stands Shannon up, whips him off the ropes and backdrops him to the mat and then gives him a knee to the forehead and then goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out again by Shannon as Frank is seen returning to his corner. Tommy then stands Shannon up and whips him into his corner where Frank gives Shannon a brutal right hook to the jaw that sends the former CWA owner down to the mat. Tommy then tags Frank into the ring and Frank steps through the ropes and appears set to deliver a heart punch. Sal Clemenzo enters the ring and kicks Frank in the back. Frank turns around as if to deliver a heart punch on Sal, but Shannon kicks him in the back. Frank turns and takes a right hook from Shannon and then he gives Frank a German suplex to the mat. He holds Frank down while Sal then lands a knee to the forehead on Frank. Shannon back bridges for the pinfall while Sal dropkicks Tommy off the apron. 1...2...3! Shannon and Sal get the win. Ricky Simms - That was some good teamwork there as Frank takes the pinfall and the former champs lose. Henry Lesher - Myst won't be happy. As if on cue, we hear "So What?" by Pink and Myst comes out onto the stage. Myst - You think you're smart, huh? You think you can win this and get away with it? Next week, you guys get something a little different. Shannon, you get a match with Jack Spade. We'll make that hardcore rules. Sal, you get a match against the tag team champs. You face Kannon and Garth Rivers all by your lonesome. Sal has some choice words for Myst, probably for the best he doesn't have a microphone. He is screaming that he didn't come here to be her example to the roster. He shakes his head and Shannon doesn't appear to be impressed either. Myst - Don't take that tone with me, Sal. After what you did last week, you're lucky you still have a job. Myst makes her exit while Cassandra tries to calm an enraged Sal Clemenzo. Bruce and Shannon are heading up the ramp and don't look happy with this either. Ricky Simms - Myst will not allow Sal a chance to have a simple week here and he doesn't like it. Henry Lesher - She has guts, standing up to Sal like this. Of course, most people who take that stance end up at the bottom of a lake somewhere, but kudos to her. Maybe Hoshi could lip him off.
Ricky Simms - You're a morbid and sad little man, Doc. Ray Dees - Well, look who's back. Black Lightning - We don't want to talk right now. Ray Dees - But we want to know why you've come back and why the association again with 6Pac? FUBAR - My partner here was clear on the no talking point. Ray Dees - But we want to know... Black Lightning -Ray, if it was your business, you would know. FUBAR - Total Darkness is none of your business. Ray Dees - But it's part of my job to... Black Lightning - Your ability to do your job is not our concern. Now, we have work to do.
They then shove Ray out of their way and
continue on. "Southtown" by POD plays as 6Pac Dudley makes his way onto the stage. The crowd greets him with boos and negative chants of varying degree. He makes his way down the ramp towards the ring with a lot less energy than he once did, not that long ago. He circles the ring and pauses to glare at Henry Lesher behind the announcers' table. He then steps up onto the apron and then steps through the ropes into the ring. His music fades and then we hear "Switch 625" by Def Leppard and Hoshi Yakamoto comes out to one of the loudest ovations we have heard so far tonight. She waves to her fans and smiles as she starts to make her way down the ramp towards the ring. Ricky Simms - The winner of this match will receive a title shot against Daniel McCoy at our next pay per view event, Scorched Earth. Henry Lesher - Makes sense to name the events after a process of removing all traces that you ever existed. The booking here is terrible. Hoshi jumps onto the apron and ducks a clothesline from 6Pac and then gives him a shoulder block through the ropes before she steps into the ring, allowing referee Noah Skanes to call for the bell and get the match officially started. Hoshi whips 6Pac off the ropes and gives him a dropkick before she jumps back to her feet and then gives 6Pac a somersault leg drop across the throat. She then goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by 6Pac. Hoshi then stands 6Pac up, whips him off the ropes and leap frogs him before she then gives him a monkey flip to the mat. Hoshi then stands 6Pac up again, goes for the whip to the ropes, but he reverses it, sends her to the ropes and then gives her a straight right hook to the forehead which sends her crashing to the mat while the referee warns 6Pac about using a closed fist. 6Pac has a few words with the referee before he turns his attention back to Hoshi. Ricky Simms - 6Pac has changed as he has sometimes been known to do. It makes him even more violent, which is saying something about a guy best known as a hardcore legend around these parts. Henry Lesher - Legend? Okay, I might let you call Moose that, but this thing inside the ring right now? Seriously? 6Pac picks Hoshi up and gives her a gorilla press slam to the mat. He then stands on her chest for a few moments before jumping off while the referee again warns him about his tactics. 6Pac then stands Hoshi up and whips her through the ropes and out to the floor before he slides out of the ring to the floor with her. 6Pac stands Hoshi up and whips her shoulder first into the steel corner post of the ring. He then picks her up and gives her a fall away slam to the floor while the fans boo him and the referee is again warning him. 6Pac then stands Hoshi up and rolls her into the ring before rolling himself in and going for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Hoshi. 6Pac shakes his head as he pulls Hoshi back to her feet. Ricky Simms - 6Pac thought he had her there. Henry Lesher - He can glare at me for this all he wants, but 6Pac is a terrible wrestler. Look at the trouble he has with the slave labor inside the ring. Ricky Simms - Okay, that crosses the line Doc. Henry Lesher - What? Hoshi must work cheap. It's the only reason she would still have a job here. 6Pac whips Hoshi into the corner buckle and then goes for a splash on her there, but she moves out of the way and then gives 6Pac a side Russian leg sweep to the mat. Hoshi then goes to the ropes and makes her way to the top. Hoshi goes for a five star frog splash from there only to take raised knees to the chest from 6Pac Dudley. Hoshi then rolls herself out of the ring to the floor with 6Pac in close pursuit. They start trading punches on the floor, not seeing Daniel McCoy approaching through the crowd. McCoy stands on top of the guard railing, calls out to them and then gives them a double clothesline from there which causes referee Noah Skanes to call for the bell. It's announced this match is a no contest while McCoy puts the boots to both Hoshi and 6Pac. Ricky Simms - Daniel McCoy carries out a cowardly attack here on the top two contenders for his title. Henry Lesher - Good for him. I like him. He puts horrible matches and wrestlers out of their misery. Ricky Simms - So if neither wrestler wins this match, who gets the Aerial title shot at Scorched Earth? I smell a triple threat match. Henry Lesher - That would spell a long washroom break for anyone watching from home. McCoy takes off through the crowd as Black Lightning and FUBAR rush down the ramp to make the save. They then help 6Pac to his feet and make certain he's okay. Hoshi then gets to her feet and finds herself face to face with all three men. She slowly backs away while we then see Kira Yakamoto making her way down to the ring, coming to her sister's aid. Ricky Simms - This looks like another brawl. Henry Lesher - Yeah, where all of the combatants wear mittens and safety helmets. The
two teams step away from another without any punches thrown, and we
look backstage. Sabrina Davidson - Tonight I am going to ask presidential hopeful, Frank Merritt, about his plans to become the next president of the United States. As we are pressed for time, I will get right into it. Frank, why should we choose you over Obama and McCain? Frank Merritt - Because I will hurt people who don't vote for me. McCain might have been tough at one time, but he's 104 now. Obama is the kind of guy I beat up for lunch money as a kid. Do we want Iran taking our lunch money? The answer is clearly no. Sabrina Davidson - What would you do about the economy? Frank Merritt - First, you legalize weed, then you put a fifteen percent tax on it. I figure we'll have the debt paid off in about a week and let's see the Arabs equal our pot output. Sabrina Davidson - But a majority of America does not support legalization of marijuana. Frank Merritt - That's not true. A majority of voters are against it. Most pot smokers are making forts out of blankets, eating pastries or watching Wizard Of Oz to the tune of Pink Floyd on election night. Now that one of their own is running, you'll see the numbers change. Sabrina Davidson - What about gas prices? Frank Merritt - If everyone is stoned, they stay home. That drops demand which then drops the price. Sabrina Davidson - Won't unemployment skyrocket? Frank Merritt - Yeah, but everyone will be too baked to care. Sabrina Davidson - Your stance on the wars we are currently involved in? Frank Merritt - Free weed to the enemy, slow them down and make them easy targets. Our soldiers can wave white flags of truce, too, and then blow them all away when they come out of hiding. I figure it would be over in about a week, then the boys and girls out there fighting come home. Sabrina Davidson - Any closing statement? Frank Merritt - Sure, there is. America, I am your next president. Voting against me would be voting against yourselves. Voting against me will get you hurt. Vote Merritt or else. I know where you live America.
Sabrina Davidson - Wow... "It's a Fight" by Three 6 Mafia plays as Lone Star makes his way onto the stage, the crowd giving him a warm response. He looks around at the crowd for a few moments and takes a deep breath before he makes his way down the ramp towards the ring. He pulls himself onto the ring apron and then jumps over the top rope into the ring. He then looks towards the stage, anger burning behind his eyes as his music fades and then we hear "The Imperial March" by Metallica and Eternity makes his way onto the stage which draws the boos of the crowd. Eternity makes his way down the ramp towards the ring, not taking his eyes off of Lone Star and then pauses at ringside. We then see JC Michaels and Dragon making their way down the ramp towards the ring and a smile slowly crosses Eternity's face. Lone Star starts shouting at referee Mark Davis about allowing this and the referee simply shrugs. Ricky Simms - This looks like another mugging. Henry Lesher - Hey, the BLPW guys learned that numbers equal success. I can't fault them on that. Eternity pulls himself onto the apron and then steps through the ropes into the ring. While JC and Dragon take their spot at ringside, we then see Moose and Scavenger rushing out as well and making their way to ringside. Eternity then has a few words with the referee about that, but the referee points at JC and Dragon, telling him it's all fair. The referee then calls for the bell and Lone Star unleashes punches and kicks to the chest on Eternity, backing him into the corner buckle. Lone Star then whips Eternity to the opposite corner and then gives him an assault in that corner with punches and kicks on Eternity who is doing his best to cover up and protect himself from Lone Star. Eternity then drops and rolls himself out to the floor where JC and Dragon are in an effort to regroup. Ricky Simms - This match has a lumberjack feel to it as Lone Star gets the early edge. Henry Lesher - Well, it's three lumberjacks and a chair wielding idiot named Scavenger. Eternity pulls himself onto the ring apron only to have Lone Star rakes his eyes along the top rope and then give him a hip toss back into the ring. Lone Star then stands Eternity up, whips him off the ropes and gives him a backdrop to the mat where he lands an elbow smash to the throat on Eternity before going for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Eternity. Lone Star then stands Eternity up, whips him off the ropes and Eternity ducks a clothesline before giving Lone Star a punch to the kidney and then pulls the feet out from under him before going for a figure four leg lock. Lone Star manages to kick Eternity away before he can lock it in, but as he starts to get to his feet, Eternity kicks Lone Star in the side of the head and then goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Lone Star. Ricky Simms - Wild kicks like that lead to concussions. Henry Lesher - Well, Lone Star is a brawler and Eternity is showing he can match his brawling skill. There's nothing wrong with that. I think we need more brawling. Eternity stands Lone Star up, whips him off the ropes and then both men clothesline each other to the mat. The referee starts counting both men down while the men surrounding the ring try to get their ally to get up first. JC then shouts something across the ring at Moose. This cause Moose to start making his way around the ring towards Michaels. Scavenger starts making his way in the other direction while he exchanges some unkind words with Dragon. Inside the ring, Lone Star and Eternity get to their hands and knees and Lone Star lands an upper cut to the jaw on Eternity. Lone Star then gets to his feet and starts putting the boots to Eternity while the four men at ringside also start brawling. Ricky Simms - As expected, this entire situation has broken down. Henry Lesher - I think it's improved and a lot. Lone Star stands Eternity up, whips him off the ropes and then gives him a running clothesline to the mat. Lone Star then goes to the ropes in the corner and starts to make his way to the top. At ringside, Dragon clotheslines Scavenger down, spots Lone Star on top and then shakes the top rope which causes Lone Star to lose his balance as well as cause the referee to call for the bell. Dragon slips under the bottom rope into the ring and starts brawling with Lone Star while Eternity gets to his feet and then starts to help with the assault. Ricky Simms - Lone Star wins by DQ, but this match is simply part of the larger fight here. Henry Lesher - Next week's match should be a slaughter inside a cage, Survivor Series rules. I'm actually looking forward to it, as odd as it is for me to admit it.
Security rushes to the ring in an effort to
break things up while we look backstage. Sal Clemenzo - A baseball bat? Wyatt, you disappoint me. Wyatt Gibson - That's not loaded. Sal Clemenzo - Then hit me with the bat. Come on, Wyatt. Wyatt Gibson - Just leave me alone. I am just doing my job. Sal Clemenzo - Ever see the Shining Wyatt? Wyatt Gibson - What? Sal Clemenzo - I asked you a question. Wyatt Gibson - Yes... of course. Everyone has seen that movie. Sal Clemenzo - Good, I have another question for you then. In that big scene where Windy and Jack are arguing and she has the bat, knocks him on his ass down the freaking stairs, what would have changed in that scene if Jack had this gun here? Wyatt Gibson - She would have run. Sal Clemenzo - Wrong answer. That bitch would have died, because you don't bring a baseball bat to a gunfight. You also don't play tough with me. Wyatt, if I really wanted you dead, you wouldn't be here right now. Drop the bat because you look like an idiot. Sal then casually turns and walks away while Wyatt drops the bat and rushes back to his office where we hear the click of the lock being engaged.
Ricky Simms - We might not see him for a
month now. JC Michaels is already inside the ring, pacing at he gets set for the title match tonight and still steamed from the brawl he was just involved in. Malk slips into the ring behind him and trips the feet out from under him and then starts raining down punches to the head on JC Michaels. We then hear "What I've Done" by Linkin Park and AJ Cameron makes his way onto the stage and then starts down the ramp towards the ring. AJ climbs onto the ring apron and steps through the ropes while Malk gives JC a series of elbows to the side of the head. Referee Steve Blake calls for the bell and the match is officially underway. AJ starts by pulling Malk off of JC Michaels and then whips him off the ropes and then gives him a backdrop to the mat. AJ then stands JC up and takes a thumb to the eye from Michaels who then gives AJ a knee to the gut and then a bulldog to the mat. JC then rolls AJ over for the pin attempt. 1...2... kick out by AJ Cameron. Ricky Simms - Rapid fire action as JC nearly got pinned by AJ there. Henry Lesher - It's a battle of the alphabet. Only one man in this match deserves respect and it's not Malk or Max's idiot cousin. Ricky Simms - He's not Max's cousin. Henry Lesher - I'm not caring. JC stands AJ up and whips him through the ropes and out to the floor and then turns towards Malk, who has got to his feet. Malk blocks a right hook from JC and then gives him a series of upper cuts which drive him into the corner. Malk then gives JC a vertical suplex to the middle of the ring and then goes for the quick pin. 1...2... kick out by JC. Malk then stands JC up, whips him off the ropes and then lands a super kick to the chin on JC while AJ slips into the ring behind Malk. AJ goes for the pin on JC. 1...2... AJ pulls Malk off of JC Michaels as JC kicks out. AJ then stands Malk up, whips him off the ropes and gives him a dropkick that sends him back down to the mat. AJ then gets to his feet and turns his attention to JC Michaels, giving him a series of kicks to the ribs. JC then rolls himself out to the floor as Malk gets to his feet and then he starts trading punches with AJ. AJ then ducks a right hook from Malk, spins him around and then gives him an atomic drop followed by a face buster to the mat and then he rolls Malk over for the pin. 1...2... JC reaches into the ring and pulls AJ off Malk and out to the floor where he starts drilling AJ with rights and lefts. Ricky Simms - Getting a pinfall in a triple threat match like this can be tough. Henry Lesher - JC will win this because he's the only real star in it. JC whips AJ shoulder first into the steel ring steps and then JC rolls himself back into the ring. He stands Malk up, whips him into the corner buckle and then lands a running knee lift to the chest on Malk. JC then gives Malk a power slam to the mat and hooks the leg for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Malk. JC then stands Malk up, whips him off the ropes and then hits him with a clothesline back to the mat. AJ Cameron then climbs onto the apron and JC runs at him, misses with a kick when AJ dodges it and then winds up tangled in the ropes. AJ steps into the ring and gives JC a vicious looking right hook that sends him out of the ropes and down to the mat. AJ then stands JC Michaels up, whips him into the corner buckle and then gives him a backslide from there into a pin attempt. 1...2... kick out by JC as Malk is seen getting to his feet. AJ stands JC up and they take a double clothesline to the mat from Malk. Malk then picks JC up and slams him to the mat and then picks AJ up and slams him onto JC before trying to pin them both in a heap. 1...2... both AJ and JC rolls a shoulder out. Ricky Simms - Unorthodox pin attempt by Malk. Henry Lesher - Just say he failed. Much easier. Malk stands AJ Cameron up and goes for the whip off the ropes, but AJ reverses it, sends Malk into the ropes and then gives him am knee to the gut followed by a swinging neck breaker to the mat where AJ goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Malk. AJ then stands Malk up and whips him through the ropes and out to the floor, then turns his attention to JC Michaels. He stands JC up only to take a thumb to the eye from JC who then gives AJ a series of knife edge chops to the chest that back AJ into the ropes. JC then sets for and delivers a slingshot suplex on AJ Cameron before he goes for the pin. 1...2... AJ rolls a shoulder out. JC then stands AJ up, whips him off the ropes and then gives him a shoulder block back to the mat. JC then lands a knee drop to the forehead on AJ before going for the pin. 1...2... Malk pulls JC off AJ and out to the floor where they start trading punches and kicks on one another. AJ Cameron slowly gets to his feet and spots Malk and JC fighting at ringside. He then runs to the ropes and lands a suicide dive over the top rope onto both JC and Malk, all three men landing in a heap at ringside. Ricky Simms - Incredible high risk move there by AJ Cameron. Henry Lesher - Well, he has no talent, so he has to resort to that kind of Mexican crap. AJ gets to his feet first and stands JC Michaels up and then rams his head into the ring apron. He then rolls JC back into the ring and then himself as well. AJ then stands JC up, whips him off the ropes and then gives him a backdrop to the mat. Malk then rolls himself into the ring and trips the feet out from under AJ. Malk then picks JC Michaels up and gives him a piledriver to the mat. He goes for the pin. 1...2... AJ pulls Malk off of JC and then tosses him right back out to the floor. AJ then jumps to the top rope on the nearest corner buckle and lands the Shooting Star on JC Michaels before going for the pin. 1...2...3! AJ Cameron is the new TV champ! Ricky Simms - Huge win for AJ Cameron. Henry Lesher - And another man becomes hunted by the BLPW alumni. He will pay for that win and pay dearly. Ricky Simms - Keep a happy thought, Doc. Henry Lesher - Hey, to me that is a happy thought. AJ rolls himself out to the floor and grabs the TV title belt from the timekeeper's table. He then turns to head for the back and comes face to face with Malk. Malk tells AJ they will meet again soon and to bring the title belt. AJ then turns and heads around the ring in the other direction while Malk exits down the side of the ramp instead of heading up to the stage area. Ricky Simms - Looks like Malk wants the first match with AJ for that title.
Henry Lesher - Wow, I cannot believe the
only man with talent was the one who got pinned. Their horrible
ability must have lulled JC to sleep. Myst - Harlot. Kathy Smith - Bitch. Myst - Still getting paid for sex? Kathy Smith - Still paying for it? Myst - This is fun. I have to leave. Kathy Smith - Why are you doing this? Myst - Leaving? Kathy Smith - Shannon is in pain and you keep twisting the knife deeper. I don't understand it. Myst - Of course not. You're being the friend right now. Bombshell is playing his little follower. I'm being seen as the ogre when he did this to himself. You're a fool for not seeing it. Kathy Smith - What did he do? Myst - He put this company ahead of me. He put everything ahead of me and took me for granted. I should have been treated like a queen, but that was reserved for Bombshell, Hoshi and the Glamour Girls. I wasn't even on the roster. He made me work for it. Kathy Smith - He didn't want you to get hurt. Myst - He hurt me for years, Kathy. Now, it's his turn to hurt.
Myst shoves Kathy aside and continues to
her rental car. "Hollow Man" by The Hollow Men plays as Gary Barber makes his way onto the stage, the crowd giving him a loud chorus of boos. He makes his way down the ramp and tells the camera that the alumni are going to rule the CWA, that there isn't anything anyone can do about it. He then makes his way up the ring steps onto the ring apron and then steps through the ropes into the ring. Barber then motions to ringside and Kosmic Kitty tosses a microphone to Barber. Gary Barber - So, I have been in the CWA awhile and I pitched an idea to those in control of the show and they agreed it makes a lot of sense. As BLPW alumni have saved this company from certain financial doom, this company owes us. The ratings have gone through the roof since we arrived. It's time to bring a taste of BLPW to the CWA. There will be no Battle of the Warriors tournament this year. This year, we will instead have a tournament that is all about Philadelphia, a real city where real men live. Eli Ryder ends the speech by slipping into the ring and giving Barber a double axe handle smash to the back of the neck and then takes the microphone from him. Eli Ryder - No one wants to listen to you. Time to shut you up. Eli tosses the microphone out of the ring to Kosmic Kitty and stands Gary Barber up while referee Rob Rai calls for the bell. Ryder whips Barber off the ropes and gives him a dropkick back to the mat. Eli then kips up to his feet and then lands a leg drop across the chest on Barber while the fans cheer him on. Ricky Simms - The fans love Eli when he attacks Gary Barber. Henry Lesher - Was Gary Barber going to tell us that the King of Philadelphia tournament will take place in the CWA this year? That would be huge news. Ricky Simms - I will agree with you there. It's a storied tournament with a rich history, but so is ours. Henry Lesher - NC-17 lost the finals to Double J Joe Jones last year. Maybe he'll be coming in to defend that title? Ricky Simms - How do you know that? You never watched their shows. Henry Lesher - I never missed a show. Ricky Simms - What a tangled web of lies you weave, Doc. That said, Eli could be involved and maybe get the tournament win this year after being so close last year. Henry Lesher - Eli wasn't in the tournament. Ricky Simms - Not this again... Inside the ring, Eli stands Barber up, whips him off the ropes and then gives him a backdrop to the mat. Eli then stands Barber up, whips him into the corner buckle and then charges in with an elbow to the jaw. Eli then pulls Gary Barber to the middle of the ring and then places him in a headlock before giving him a bulldog to the mat. Eli then stands over Gary Barber and looks out to the cheering crowd. He goes to the ropes and makes his way to the top while Gary Barber gets to his feet. Eli leaps off for a flying body press, but Gary Barber catches him in mid-air and gives him a power slam to the mat where he goes for the quick pin. 1...2... kick out by Eli Ryder. Barber then stands Eli up, whips him off the ropes and then gives him a round house kick to the chest that sends him back down to the mat. Gary Barber then lands a lionsault onto Eli and hooks the leg for another pin attempt. 1...2... kick out by Eli. Ricky Simms - The champ is in trouble here as Gary Barber is in complete control. Henry Lesher - I don't know why NC-17 wins the match and Eli gets the belt. Gary Barber stands Eli up and whips him into the corner buckle and then gives him a snap mare and then places him in a sleeper hold. The referee checks for a submission, but Eli refuses to submit to the hold. Eli reaches for the ropes while Barber tries to cinch the hold in tighter. Eli then manages to land a couple of elbow smashes to the ribs on Barber which loosen the hold enough that he can grab the middle rope which forces the break. Gary releases Eli, but then kicks him in the chest five times before Eli bails out of the ring to the floor. Gary Barber follows Eli to the outside and takes an eye gouge from Eli who then slams Barber's face into the ring apron and then gives him a snap suplex on the floor which draws cheers from the crowd. Eli then stands Gary Barber up and whips him into the guard railing where Barber lands in a heap. Eli then stands Barber up and rolls him into the ring before doing the same himself where he then goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Gary Barber. Ricky Simms - I thought Eli had him there. Henry Lesher - Any normal CWA member would have been out, but the BLPW alumni are different. Well, all of them except Eli, AJ and that Lone Star guy. Eli stands Barber up, whips him into the corner buckle and then goes for a monkey flip, but Barber shoves Eli off and down to the mat where he then starts putting the boots to Eli. Gary then picks Eli up and drops him across the top rope, his throat catching on the rope and causing him to slingshot to the mat in a heap. Gary Barber then stands Eli up, then sets for and delivers a brainbuster on Eli before going for the pin. 1...2... Eli rolls a shoulder out. Barber shakes his head and has a few unkind words for the referee before he stands Eli up, whips him off the ropes and then gives him a knee to the gut before he then gives Eli a knee to the face. Barber then places Eli in an abdominal stretch and the referee checks for a submission. Ricky Simms - Fine match here between two top stars in the CWA. Henry Lesher - This is a coming out party for Gary Barber really. The guy has been knocking on the door and now he is going to burst through it. It was only a matter of time before the BLPW guys went after the champ. Eli refuses to submit to the hold and then he starts to power his way out of it. Barber struggles to hold on, but Eli hip tosses Barber to the mat and then Eli gives Barber a series of kicks to the back before turning him around and then he gives Barber a side effect to the mat and goes for the pin. 1...2... Gary Barber rolls a shoulder out. Eli then stands Gary Barber up, whips him into the corner and then gives him a series of knees to the gut before sitting Barber on the top rope. Eli then sets for a superplex on the top rope. He cinches it in and then sends Gary Barber flying through the air to the mat, perfectly executing the superplex. Eli then goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Gary Barber. Eli then gets to his feet and starts putting the boots to Gary Barber. Ricky Simms - Eli has to be wondering what it will take to put Gary Barber away here. Henry Lesher - I am thinking maybe a Hummer H-2. Eli stands Gary Barber up and whips him through the ropes and out to the floor. Eli then drops and rolls himself out to the floor while Gary Barber appears to be fumbling with something that was inside his boot. Eli turns Barber around and takes an eyeful of salt. The referee calls for the bell as Gary Barber rolls a blinded Eli into the ring. Barber then rolls himself out and grabs the title belt from the timekeeper and rolls himself back into the ring. He fifrst drills referee Steve Blake with it and then drills Eli in the face with the belt. Gary Barber then motions to Kosmic Kitty for the microphone. Gary Barber - All right, you crazy son of a bitch, we can do this the hard way. I am calling you out for a title match right here and now. "King of the Stereo" by Saliva plays and Jack Spade rushes down the ramp and slides under the bottom rope into the ring, then takes the microphone from Gary Barber. Jack Spade - If anyone deserves a match for the title, it's me. I have already declared my intention to fight Eli for the title at Scorched Earth. It's my rematch clause. Barber just laughs. Gary Barber - We'll meet again, Spade.
Barber then drops and rolls himself out of
the ring to the floor while Eli uses the ropes to get to his feet
behind Spade. Eli Ryder rolls out of the ring and starts up the
ramp, unaware that Jack Spade had been inside the ring behind him.
Eli turns only to be met by a spear from Jack Spade. Spade drives
Eli down into the ramp and begins to unload a barrage of rights and
lefts down on the CWA World Champion. Security follows Spade down
the ramp and pulls him off as he screams at Eli Ryder. Eli slowly is
helped to his feet by security but before he can get his bearings
Spade tears away from security and leaps at Eli driving him into the
side of the ring as he continues to rain down punches on the champ.
As security grabs Spade, Eli escapes into the ring. Eli yells at
jack who once again escapes security and comes into the ring. Eli
begins to lay the boots to Spade. He kicks at Jack until he thinks
he has the upper hand. He breaks and turns to face the crowd. Jack
scrambles to his feet and stands crouched waiting for Eli to turn
around. Eli finally turns around and Spade delivers a kick to the
midsection before hoisting Eli up on his shoulders before delivering
the Lasting Impression to Eli. Henry Lesher - I don't understand.
Ricky Simms - Spade has apparently called
in the rematch clause, but Gary Barber also wants a piece of the
champ. Eli is a hunted man. That does it for this week, fans. Don't
forget to watch next week as the action continues to heat up towards
Scorched Earth. |
