NSCW - NightShift Championship Wrestling

[Khalifa]

I don't know if I have properly said congradulations yet, but well congrats. This is an amazing show and the matches are spectacular. I like it how you use old and new wrestlers for example, having the "Iceman" vs "the Pitbull" is brilliant. That would be a greta match in real life. I also love how you use some people from Wz like myself, Will and 487. Keep it up bro.

 

[NSL]

Thanks for all the praise. It definitely helps me avoid getting lazy with it. I have a lot of stuff mapped out already, and am already planning on what's next after these storylines, and I'm hoping it all flows smoothly.

I like it how you use old and new wrestlers for example, having the "Iceman" vs "the Pitbull" is brilliant.

I wanted to avoid using the ame roster as everyone, so I got a bit selfish, and used mostly my favorites. Big thanks to Ech and Dee though, for helping me with the women's roster.

As far as Iceman and Pitbull though, they're on a tag team, not against each other. They were the first tag team I put together, but I've got a lot planned for the tag division, that doesn't include them. Hopefully I can work them in for the future.

Dude, this is fucking awesome. The matches are greatly written and detailed, and the commentary is brilliant in every way. But allow me to give you some constructive criticism, don't take this the wrong way, because I LOVE what you're doing here.

I'm not sure how long you're shows are meant to be. But I'm guessing Throwdown is a 2 hour show. If that's the case, I can't see how 9 matches would fit on a weekly card. I know you want to fit as many superstars as possible, but every wrestler doesn't have to be involved in a match every week. Use backstage promos and stuff for superstars who are not competing on the shows.

Also, use paragraphs for matches. I personally hate reading matches that go for longer than 10 to 15 lines per paragraph. Pushing the "Enter" button helps break up the match a little and is much easier to read and follow.

Apart from that though. continue with everything else. Because I simply can't pick on anything else. Once again, well done man and you should be proud of your efforts here.

Thank you

I'm not sure how long you're shows are meant to be. But I'm guessing Throwdown is a 2 hour show. If that's the case, I can't see how 9 matches would fit on a weekly card. I know you want to fit as many superstars as possible, but every wrestler doesn't have to be involved in a match every week. Use backstage promos and stuff for superstars who are not competing on the shows.

I've never really set a time on how long it is. I know I've squeezed more people in than I probably should, but I'm trying to build a lot, to get things started. In my head, the matches don't seem very long, and the promos seem short, so it feels like I can fit more in.

Trust me, I've tried to trim the shows. I have too many ideas though.

Also, use paragraphs for matches. I personally hate reading matches that go for longer than 10 to 15 lines per paragraph. Pushing the "Enter" button helps break up the match a little and is much easier to read and follow.

I tried to do that by adding in commentary at random spots. For the matches, I'm writing them as I type, so it slows me down when I stop to re-read, and edit. I'll try to do this, but I'm not making any promises. It'll probably be easier at pay-per-views, when the matches go longer.

Apart from that though. continue with everything else. Because I simply can't pick on anything else. Once again, well done man and you should be proud of your efforts here.

Thanks again I'm definitely loving all the feedback I'm getting. I've never been a good writer, but apparently I'm pulling this off pretty well.

The fans have arrived early, as a star-studded card has been announced for this week's THROWDOWN. As the fans snack on their popcorn and nachos, Goldust's music hits, and the fans put their snacks down, so they don't have to vomit. He comes through the curtain, and there's no reaction. Most people are trying not to look, while others are speechless at what they see. After he steps through the ropes and disrobes, The Warrior's Code hits the sound system, and Finlay comes out, to a full chorus of cheers. He makes his way into the ring, and tosses his leather vest, complete with shoulderpad into Goldust's face, who seems to enjoy it.

The bell rings, and Goldust comes right at Finlay, and lands a low knee to the groin. The ref instantly pushes him back, and Finlay is down in his corner, with an angered look on his face. He gets to his feet, and Goldust shoves past the ref, and starts laying chops onto Finlay. Finlay blocks one, and they exchange chops, before Finlay tosses Goldust into the corner. He puts a boot into Goldust's face, and breaks at the ref's count of 3. Goldust gets him with a rake of the eyes. The ref admonishes him, and he kicks Finlay in the butt, knocking him through the ropes, and on to the apron. Goldust comes off the opposite ropes, slides out past Finlay, and gives him a throat thrust, knocking him back under the bottom rope. He climbs back in the ring, and goes for a cover, but Finlay rolls the shoulder at 1. Both men are on their feet, and Goldust uses a deep arm drag to get Finlay down, and wrenches in an armbar. Finlay works his way to his feet, and Goldust blows him a kiss. Finlay turns and punches him, breaking the hold. The ref yells at him for a closed fist, and Goldust goes for a roll-up! Finlay rolls out at 2, and Goldust pops up, and catches him with a dropkick, dropping Finlay to the bottom turnbuckle. Finlay is barely moving, and Goldust stands in front of him, and delivers a stinkface! Goldust walks away from the corner, as Finlay pops straight up and clubs him in the back with a forearm. Goldust is face down on the mat, and Finlay gets on his back, and hits him with more forearms. Goldust manages to roll over, and Finlay gives him one more forearm before going for the pin. Goldust kicks out at 2, and Finlay goes right back to using forearms. He helps Goldust to his feet, and knocks him right back down with a European uppercut. Goldust starts crawling backwards, begging for Finlay to stop. Finlay stomps down on his ankle, and drops down with an elbow to the inside of the knee. Goldust tries punching him off, but Finlay won't let up. Finlay is back on his feet, and drags Goldust to the center of the ring, before locking in the Celtic Knot! Goldust is in obvious pain, and has nowhere to go. The ropes are too far! After 15-20 seconds of being locked in, he has no choice but to give in and tap!

THROWDOWN is on the air!

The lights go down, as the green lights flash through the NSCW Arena. "The One" Big Will comes out first, as Metalingus hits the speakers. The crowd is on their feet, cheering for the former five-time champion. He takes his seat at the announce table, and Mr. 487 follows him out, as Money comes on. There's the usual chorus of boos, but also a smattering of cheers, as he seems to have a growing fan base.

Thank you! Thank you fans! I'd like to take this opportunity to thank the billions of fans that sent me "Get Well" cards!

Yea. OK. Anyway, thank you for tuning in folks! We have an exciting show set for you tonight, if only for the match deciding the first ever NSCW Champion! Last week, we saw Rey Mysterio, and Chris Jericho, advance to the finals, to determine who will be our champion. We also saw Twin Method, CM Punk and Hurricane Helms become the number one contenders for the tag titles!

We also saw LuFisto face Raven, but that was pretty one sided. And, Kane failed in his attempt to win the NSCW TV Title from British Bulldog.

How can anyone forget what happened between Evan Bourne, and Bam Bam Bigelow? Bam Bam Bigelow was hammering on Bourne before the match even started, and got disqualified early.

How can you forget RVD earning the right to face British Bulldog tonight, for his television title? We'll also find out who will answer Raven's open challenge, to the NSCW locker room. We'll also see Hatebreed, Mark E.'s new tag team debuting tonight.

And, the match-up we've all been waiting for...Rey Mysterio and Chris Jericho will face off in the squared circle tonight, to determine the first ever NSCW Heavyweight Champion. I can't wait! Let's head to the ring, and get this show under way!

Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome to the ring, my first guest tonight, Hot Rod, "Rowdy" Roddy Piper!

The bagpipes play Piper to the ring, and as he steps out of the curtain, you can clearly see a flannel colored neckbrace peeking out from under his collar. He gets to the ring, and retrieves a mic from the ring crew.

That's a pretty sweet looking neckbrace! I wonder where I can get one like that, for the enxt time you assault me.

I think hot pink works best for you.

Piper turns to Erin, who doesn't seem to know what to make of Piper wearing a neckbrace.

Before you say anything Erin, let's take a look at what happened two weeks ago, when Diamond Dallas Page brutally assaulted me, and gave me what could be a career-ending injury.

A highlight package shows on the TitanTron, that leaves out all the times Piper played possum, and got up from the Diamond Cutter. It basically makes it look like DDP delivered three straight cutters.

Are you trying to say that DDP mercilessly attacked you? the way I remember it, you used the first two Diamond Cutters as a ploy to take advantage of DDP.

Aren't you paying attention? Of course that's what I'm saying. I don't know what you're talking about. I'm not the type of guy that would trick anyone.

So then, what's the point of all this? Are you retiring, or something?

No. I'm not retiring! I'm here to tell Diamond Dallas Page, that I want him at NSCW's first ever pay-per-view, BLACK TIDE!

Didn't you just say this could be career ending? How are you going to have a match at the pay-per-view?

Before Piper has a chance to answer, Self High Five comes on, and the crowd is on their feet. DDP makes his way to the ring, and is all business. He climbs in the ring, and grabs the mic from Erin's hand.

I accept. You're full of s**t, and everyone here knows it. If you want me, it's on!

No no no Dallas. You don't get it. I never said I'd face you at BLACK TIDE. I said I wanted you there. Here's your opponent!

Oh my god! It's the Big Bossman! Piper must've paid Bossman to be his bodyguard!

DDP can't even drop the mic before Bossman is in the ring, pummeling him with right hand after right hand. DDP is a bloody mess before Bossman lets up, and Piper picks up the mic again.

You've already accepted, so don't try backing out now. It's official. You, versus Bossman at BLACK TIDE! He's here to bring justice to NSCW, and he's starting with you!

Piper slams down the mic, and Erin looks stunned. They head out of the ring, as Erin checks to make sure DDP is OK.

It's a good thing Bossman is here, because we have no idea what DDP could do to Piper. He's already brutally assaulted him once, and looked like he was going to again!

You're full of it, and you know that! Piper clearly used heel tactics to try and gain an edge over DDP, and when it failed, he turned to Bossman to take out the man that he couldn't on his own.

It doesn't matter how you slice it, we have our first match for BLACK TIDE, NSCW's first pay-per-view! The Big Bossman will face off against Diamond Dallas Page!

A highlight video recaps what just happened as we head to our first commercial break of the night.

We come back from the break with No Sleep 'Til Brooklyn playing, and Nunzio standing in the ring.

To my left, from Brooklyn, New York...Nunzio! His opponent, weighing in at 225 pounds, Eric Young!

Eric Young comes out to a nice pop, and makes his way to the ring.

Apparently, his match last week against RVD has rubbed off on the fans. The crowd reaction this week, was definitely bigger than last week.

Eric Young enters the ring, and has to immediately duck a dropkick attempt from Nunzio, and the bell hasn't even rung yet! Nunzio charges back at Young, but the ref breaks it up, and gets the men in to their corners, and warns Nunzio that he'll DQ him. He calls for the bell, and the men lock up in the middle of the ring. Young shoves Nunzio back, but Nunzio comes right back, and they lock up again. Eric Young uses his size advantage to back Nunzio in to the corner, and gives a clean break. Nunzio goes up to the middle turnbuckle, and flies off with a sharp elbow, but Eric Young simply sidesteps it, and laughs at Nunzio's failed attempt. He locks in a full nelson on Nunzio, and then whips him into the ropes. Nunzio rebounds with a crossbody, but Eric Young rolls through, and gets a 2 on the pinfall attempt. Nunzio jumps up, obviously angered at Eric Young holding the advantage. He goes for a straight left, but Young catches him, and pulls him down with a Fujiwara armbar! Nunzio refuses to tap, but is able to get to the ropes. Young breaks the hold, and Nunzio takes his time to get up. He walks back to the center of the ring, and Young catches him with a northern lights suplex! He pulls Nunzio away from the rope, and gets the 1-2-3 for the pinfall victory!

Another impressive match for Eric Young, as he gets the easy win over Nunzio. If he keeps this up, he can find himself in the title hunt!

Last week may have been impressive, but he still lost...To the man who is in our next match-up!

The next match is scheduled for one fall, and is for the NSCW Television Title! The challenger, from Battle Creek, Michigan, standing at six feet tall, and weighing in at 237 pounds...He is "The Whole F'n Show"...Rob Van Dam!

The crowd erupts as his music hits. He comes through the curtain, and the crowd manages to get even louder. He gets a ton of high-fives on his way to the ring, and does his usual routine after climbing through the ropes.

And his opponent, accompanied to the ring by Princess Bex...He is the NSCW Television Champion...The British Bulldog!

The crowd explodes even more as Anarchy In The UK begins, and Princess Bex steps through the curtain, leading her man Davey Boy down to the ring.

The crowd reaction to this man is electric! In the two short weeks of NSCW's existence, he's made quite an impression on our fans!

Say what you want, but this crowd reaction is clearly for Princess Bex. Look at those legs! Her dress may not be the easiest on the eyes, but she sure is!

British Bulldog is the first on the apron, and holds open the ropes for Princess Bex to climb in. She steps through, and the crowd is still hot for the pair from Leeds, England. She does a little curtsy in the ring, and even RVD is taken back by her presence in the ring. She blows the crowd a little kiss, gives a polite little wave, and steps out of the ring. The ref holds up the title for all to see, and shows both men what they're fighting for. He hands the bell off to a ring attendant, and calls for the bell.

Bulldog and RVD shake hands in the middle of the ring, and then circle each other. RVD asks for a test of strength, and Bulldog locks hands with him. It's not long before RVD is on his knees, and Bulldog is over-powering him. Bulldog has him laying down on the mat, but RVD uses his flexibility to get his legs under Bulldog, and flip him into the ropes. RVD gets to his feet, and shakes the numbness out of his fingers. Bulldog is back up as well. RVD goes for a spinning heel kick, but Bulldog catches him, and slams him down to the mat. Bulldog rolls him over, and goes for a half-crab, but RVD's got too much leg strength for him to keep it on long. He flips Bulldog backwards, and gets to his feet, where he locks on a side headlock on Bulldog. He grinds it in a few times, but Bulldog ends the hold with an inverted atomic drop. RVD falls right to the mat, holding his lower back. Davey Boy sits him up, and wrenches both arms back, while he points his knee right in between Van Dam's shoulder blades. He switches it up, and locks in a half nelson, while standing, and pulling his opponent to his feet. From there, he puts him in an abdominal stretch. The ref asks RVD if he gives, but he refuses. As he starts to fade, the ref checks the arm. After it falls once, the fans start to chant R-V-D, and he comes to life. He lands some hard elbows to Bulldog's midsection, and eventually breaks the hold. He runs into the opposite ropes, and nails Bulldog in the chest with a seated senton. He stays on top of him for a pin attempt, and gets a a slow 2 before Bulldog pushes him up and off of him, and right outside of the ring. Bulldog gets up, and squats in an opposite corner, waiting for RVD to get in the ring. At 6, RVD is up, and hurries back in to the ring.

RVD is beginning to show some signs of aggravation. He needs to keep his emotions in check, or he'll work himself right out of a title reign.

Rob Van Dam is fine. He's aggravated, but he's not off his gameplan. Just you watch and see.

As he says this, RVD charges at Bulldog with a dropkick that is swatted aside. He lands hard on his stomach on the mat, and Bulldog goes back to the half crab. RVD is lucky this time, as he's not too far off the ropes. The ref is at 4 when Bulldog breaks the hold. RVD is on all fours when Bulldog grabs him, and goes for a German suplex! RVD rolls through the bridge attempt, and lands a short straight dropkick to the back of Bulldog's head! He gets to the near ropes, and spins off the middle rope with a double leg drop across the gut of the Bulldog. He springs up, and leaps over Bulldog before coming off the opposite ropes with a rolling thunder!

RVD is gaining a ton of momentum here! If he hits the frog splash, this could be over, and we'll have a new television champ!

He's been very impressive tonight, and definitely seems to be on the verge of an upset!

RVD jumps to the top rope, and leaps into the air, and comes down with a big five-star frog splash across the abdomen of his opponent. The ref counts the pinfall 1...2...And a shriek comes from ringside as Kane and C.C.S. come out of the crowd and walk right past Becca and into the ring!

What's he doing? He had the match won, and had the title within his grasp! He can deal with Kane later! Kane has to be here for Bulldog anyway!

Kane shoves The Pip out of his chair, and takes it with him into the ring. Davey Boy and Van Dam are both on their feet in the ring by now, and are facing off with The Big Red Machine. C.C.S. is outside the ring, preaching to Princess Bex again, that she needs to see the light, and leave "the man of sin". RVD is the first man to go after Kane, and Kane smacks him in the head with the chair! The bell rings, but Kane isn't done! He turns his attention to Davey Boy, and tosses the chair at him, before punching it back into his face. He lands a big leg drop on him, and then picks him up with one hand, and chokeslams him over the top rope, and onto the floor!

The ref has decided this match as a No Contest! Still your NSCW Television Champion...The British Bulldog!

Kane is here to show who's boss! He has cleared the ring of everyone in his way!

He ensures that Bulldog keeps the TV title, but what's his plan? Or, is he just a madman!? C.C.S. is climbing in the ring now, with a mic. Let's see what they have to say.

You see Bulldog...I told you I was coming to make you see the light, and take your gold away from you. I didn't get the job done last week, so we're going to finish this at BLACK TIDE. Not only will you lose your title, but you'll lose everything you have to live for. I wasn't about to let Van Dam win the title tonight, and get in the way of what I have planned for you. I'll take your gold, and cleanse your soul. You will see the light, and you will join us.

Princess Bex is on the outside, crying over Bulldog, who was broken in half with the chokeslam. Kane tosses the mic out of the ring, and exits up the ramp with C.C.S.

What a crazed manic! First, he interferes during Bulldog's title defense, and the he calls out Bulldog for BLACK TIDE, after tossing him out of the ring!

Kane obviously means business. I wonder when, or if, we'll hear from Bulldog about Kane's request for a title match at BLACKTIDE.

Princess Bex is helping Bulldog to his feet as THROWDOWN heads to commercial, for the second time tonight.

We return from commercial, and there's complete silence in the building. The fans can't believe what they've seen with Kane. They begin to come to life as "The Franchise" Shane Douglas comes through the curtain, and makes his way to the ring.

Being led to the ring by his manager, Mark E., and hailing from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, he is "The Franchise" Shane Douglas!

While most of the fans in attendance boo, there's a handful of fans cheering for him. He plays to the crowd, and climbs through the ropes, as The Pip gets ready for the next introduction.

His opponent, weighing in at 220 pounds, he is the master of the Crossface...Chris Benoit!

Benoit's music hits, and the crowd is on their feet cheering for the Rabid Wolverine. He stares down Douglas from the ramp, and Douglas reacts by climbing the turnbuckle, and calling for him to get in the ring. Benoit runs down the ramp, and slides in the ring, and both men are brawling in the ring, as the ref calls for the bell.

What is Benoit thinking? Why is he attacking Shane like this? He didn't do anything to him!

He may not have done anything to him, but he did use a pair of brass knuckles on Rey Mysterio in the opening round of the NSCW tournament for the title. Benoit has always played the game fair, and Rey is a good friend of his.

Since when has playing the game fair ever worked for anyone?

The camera pans back to the ring, where Benoit and Douglas are still brawling on the mat. Benoit starts to get the upper hand, and Douglas grabs the rope in desperation. Benoit instantly breaks, and steps back from Douglas. The Franchise crawls under the bottom rope, and goes outside for a breather. Mark E. is there with a towel to wipe off his face, and give him a pep talk. At 7, Benoit is getting frustrated, and goes to the ropes, and opens them, inviting Douglas back in the ring. Shane responds by grabbing his leg, and pulling him down to the mat. He pulls him out of the ring, and the ref restarts the count. He whips Benoit into the barrier, and then puts a boot in his chest. He climbs back in the ring, and the ref walks him to the other side of the ring, as Mark E. starts to slap the towel across Benoit's chest. Benoit finally shoves him off, and gets back in the ring at 8. As he gets to the top of the stairs, Franchise levels him with a clothesline, and Benoit is down on the apron. The ref has to move Franchise back away from him again, and this allows Mark E. to choke Benoit with the towel. The crowd reaction gets the ref attention, but Mark E. has already broken the choke. As the ref warns him, Franchise puts a boot into Benoit's ribs, and drops him to the floor. Benoit is up at 5, and is red with anger. He dives back in the ring, and uses a double leg takedown on Shane, and starts to beat on him with punch after punch. Franchise is covering up, but the blows are still getting through. The ref warns Benoit of a closed fist, and he backs off, but doesn't let Shane up. He grabs his legs, and stomps on his midsection, before intertwining his arms in Shane's legs, and pulling him over with a Texas cloverleaf! Shane gets to the ropes easily, and Benoit breaks at 2. He goes straight to Douglas' legs again though, landing kick after kick to the back of his thighs. Shane slides into the bottom turnbuckle, and begs Benoit off of him. Mark E. is over in the corner with him, and wipes his face again with the towel. Douglas is back in his feet, and Benoit is coming at him. Douglas sidesteps him, and tosses him into the corner. He lands a few short punches to Benoit's ribs, and then sits him up on the top rope, before climbing to the middle turnbuckle himself. He goes for the superplex, but Benoit blocks it. On the second try, Benoit shoves him off, and gets to a standing position on the top turnbuckle. He comes off with a diving headbutt, and connects! Douglas springs up to a sitting position, holding his head, with a look of pain on his face. Benoit is face down on the mat, and the headbutt may have taken more out of him, than The Franchise. Shane goes for the first cover of the match-up, and only gets a two. Benoit is to his feet, but Douglas gets him in a front facelock. Benoit tries for the ropes, but Douglas keeps him away. Benoit lands a punch, but it doesn't have much of an effect, as he's starting to wear down. In a fit of desperation, he grabs Douglas's leg, and hits a picture perfect fisherman's suplex! The pinning attempt only gets a 2. Franchise rolls out of the pinning predicament, and still has a hold of the front facelock! Benoit backs him into the ropes. Mark E. is on the outside, and lands a hard slap to his face before Franchise breaks on the ref's 3 count. Benoits steps through the rope to go after Mark E., and Franchise dumps him out from behind.

Benoit took a hard spill, and appears to be busted open. I'm sure that Franchise, and Mark E.'s tactics, are starting to wear on him.

If he just joined in on the fun, then he wouldn't be getting throw to the outside like this. He better hope he doesn't get counted out.

Mr. 487 almost looks like a prophet as the ref gets to 9, and Benoit is barely on his feet. Before the ref can count 10, Benoit is crawling in under the bottom rope. Benoit rolls to the middle of the ring, and Franchise comes off the ropes with a knee drop. Benoit barely reacts, as the life has already been taken out of him. Franchise sits him up, and puts him in a rear chinlock. The ref checks on Benoit, who is failing fast. As the ref's attention is on Benoit, Franchise puts his feet on the ropes for added pressure. Benoit lets out a yell, and the ref knocks Franchise's feet off the ropes. He releases the hold, as the damage has already been done. He pushes Benoit over, and gets the easy three count for the victory!

Before Franchise leaves, he rolls Benoit to the ropes, and knocks him to the floor. He poses for the crowd, before him and Mark E. head to the back.

What an impressive victory for The Franchise. That was the best possible way to rebound from the loss to Rey Mysterio.

It was a win, I'll give him that much. I don't know about all that stuff about it being "impressive", but it was a win. Now, let's head to the back, with Dee Dragon, who is standing by with one of the men we'll see in tonight's championship match.

Thanks Will. I'm back here at the merch stand, with Rey Mysterio, who is meeting some fans, and signing some autographs. Someone remind me why Just-In couldn't do this interview? I hate fans...

You may not be a big fan of the fans, but I am. These people are the reason I'm here, and doing what I do today.

Yea, sure. Whatever. What do you have to say about match against Lionheart Chris Jericho tonight?

He's a great competitor. I saw his match with AJ Styles two weeks ago, and that match stole the show. Making DDP tap last week couldn't have been easy either. I wish him the best of luck tonight. I'm going to bring my "A" game, and we'll let the better man win.

You know, you're kind of lucky to be here anyway. Franchise should've won the match in the first round, and you totally should've lost to Swaggah-man last week. You've had quite a run of luck against Mark E.'s men.

Franchise broke the rules, and he lost. If he was the better man, he would've found a way to win without resorting to rule-breaking. The match last week with Swagger was a great test, and I think it prepared me well for tonight against Jericho.

I'm sorry, were you talking? I'm going to go find a monitor, so I can watch the next match.You better not have made me miss his entrance.

Thanks, Dee. How does she still have a job? Anyway fans, if you've been to an NSCW show, you might have seen Mikey Whipwreck welcoming our fans, with his impressive showings in our dark matches. Those matches have earned him a spot in a televised match, so let's get to The Pip in the ring, and get to our next match.

Being led to the ring by Gunnz, weighing in at 187 pounds, he is Mikey Whipwreck!

His music hits, and the crowd goes crazy as Gunnz leads him through the curtain, and down to the ring. They both enter the ring, and the crowd is still on their feet. Before Gunnz exits the ring, Get On Your Knees begins to blare through the arena, and Mark E. returns to the NSCW Arena, with his other wrestler, Jack Swagger.

Entering the NSCW Arena, accompanied by his manager, Mark E., he is the two-time, two-time, All-American American, Jack Swagger!

The fans are split in their support of the rising star, and he eats it all up. He plays to the crowd all the way down the ramp, and poses on the turnbuckles for them. Mark E. is right behind him the whole time, clapping and cheering for his wrestler.

Gunnz stays in the ring, and gets in Mark E.'s face.

You better make sure you don't get involved, or I'm going to shove that damn towel so far down your throat, you'll have to pull it out your ass!

Mark E. loses his smile, and quickly exits the ring. Gunnz slowly follows suit, and has his eyes on his counterpart the entire time.

I don't see why Gunnz would feel like he'd have to threaten Mark E. Jack Swagger has a good foot on Mikey, and outweighs him by about 80 pounds. This should be quick and ugly.

I know firsthand, that being the bigger man, doesn't always guarantee a win. Mikey is fast, and is extremely talented in the ring. If Swagger thinks he's walking over him, he's in for a surprise.

The ref calls for the bell, and Mikey goes straight for Swagger's leg, attempting a single leg takedown. Swagger laughs it off, and then shoves him down to the mat, and scrapes the front of his boot down Whipwreck's face. He goes straight to a rear waistlock, and uses his size advantage to flip Whipwreck back with a nice release belly-to-back suplex. Whipwreck lands hard on his upper back and head, and flops straight out of the ring, right next to Mark E. Mark E. goes to land a kick while the ref's attention is turned, but Gunnz is there quickly, and Mark E. gently helps Mikey to his feet, and into the ring. Gunnz slowly heads back to the other side, but Swagger is still in control in the ring. He goes with a front facelock, and plants him with a DDT. Swagger sits on his back, and applies a camel clutch. Mikey's back is being bent to an extreme, and Swagger is enjoying the punishment. Mikey won't give, and Swagger releases the hold. He wrennches both of Mikey's arms back, and gives him a hard curb stomp. Mikey's face bounces off the mat, and he's struggling to get up. He's on his knees, and Swagger toys with him a few times by knocking him over with the toe of his boot. Mikey eventually just rolls out of the ring, and Gunnz is there to help him gather himself. At the ref's count of 7, he rolls back in. Swagger goes to drop a forearm across his back, but he moves! Swagger crashes down to the mat, and springs up with a look of anger on his face. He charges back at Mikey again, but Mikey ducks, and Swagger flies through the bottom rope! He bounces right up, and is stomping up the stairs, and into the ring. As he enters through the ropes, Mikey catches him with a dropkick. Mikey goes for an armbar, but Swagger is too big for him to keep the hold. He shoves Mikey off, and Mikey rolls across the ring, but is right back to his feet. They charge at each other, but Mikey leaps to Swagger's shoulders, and hits him with a FrankenMikey! Swagger is down on the mat, and is in disbelief. Mark E. is screaming for Swagger to get up, and Gunnz is doing the same for Whipwreck, whose back is hurting after the FrankenMikey. At the ref's count of 5, Mikey is to his knees, and he dives for a quick cover on Swagger. At 1, Jack rolls his shoulder, and breaks the pin. Mikey gets to his feet, but Swagger gets is up right behind him. Mikey Whipwreck turns around and is leveled with a short arm clothesline. Swagger again uses the size advantage to pick up Whipwreck with a waistlock, and throws him out over the top rope with a releasing belly-to-belly suplex. Mark E. sees that Gunnz is still across the ring, and decides to land some punches on Mikey. Gunnz takes the short route through the ring, but the ref cuts him off, and tries to get him out. This allows Mark E. to land some more punches. Gunnz eventually gets out of the ring, and makes a bee-line for Mark E. This allows Mikey to roll back in the ring. Gunnz chases Mark E. all the way around the ring. Swagger waits for Mikey to get up, and uses a spin-out gutwrench powerbomb to lay him out, and goes for the cover. The bell rings as he picks up the victory! Gunnz gives up the chase, and dives in the ring to check on Mikey. Swagger is out just as quickly, and he heads to the back with his manager. Gunnz is pointing up the ramp, yelling at Jack and Mark E.

What a rip-off! Mark E. saw that Swagger was in trouble, and they resorted to cheating, again, to pick up the win!

I love it! What an impressive win for Swaggah! Mikey had a very unimpressive debut, and should probably stick to dark matches!

Do you have idea how hard it is, to overcome cheating, to pick up a win? Mikey did good while he could, and Mark E. cost him that match-up.

Kind of like how you sneak attacked me? How you savagely beat me up, and almost cost me my life?!

Um, no. That was fun, and you deserved it. Let's head to the ring, and get ready for our next match.

Raven's music hits, and he makes quick work of getting to the ring.

In the ring, weighing in at 245 pounds, and standing at six feet, one inch tall, Raven!

As The Pip finishes his introduction, Erin enters the ring for a word with Raven.

Raven, is there anything you want to say about your challenge tonight? Last week, Zachary had you fight LuFisto, who you made quick work of. You issued this open challenge, and have absolutely no idea who will come out here to face you!

That's right. Last week, Zachary thought he pulled a fast one on me, by having me face LuFisto. What kind of match was that supposed to be? I want a real fight, and I wouldn't be surprised if no one comes out here to face me.

Erin leaves the ring, and The Pip awaits Raven's opponent.

See, Will! No one is coming out no one wants to face Raven! They're all scared!

Let's just head to commercial, and wait and see who comes out.

THROWDOWN heads to commercial, with Raven still waiting for an opponent.

 

[NSL]

We come back from break, and there's still no opponent. The camera heads to the back, where LuFisto is arguing with Zachary.

No! I won't let you go out there, and embarass me again. You had your shot last week, and he ended the match quickly.

I'm telling you, it'll be different this week. Either you get out of my way, and let me have my match against Raven, or I'll move you.

Fine! But, we're not responsible for what might happen out there!

I'll make sure Raven knows that.

With that, she turns and heads for the curtain. Her music starts, and she comes through the curtain to almost dead silence. The fans don't forget what they saw last week, and are wondering what's in store for this week.

His opponent, heading down the ramp, LuFisto!

LuFisto stops at the bottom of the ramp, as Raven is almost doubled over in the ring with laughter. LuFisto asks for a mic, and gets one from a ringhand.

Hey Raven, you may think this is all a joke, but last week was a fluke. This time, it's different. You've woken up the side of me, that you should've left dormant. This starts tonight, but we both know it won't end here. Tonight, I draw first blood!

You better think long, and hard, before you step through these ropes little girl. You may think you're hardcore, but you haven't seen anything yet. And, what's this business about "drawing first blood"?

You heard me. I'm going to step in this ring, and we're going to have ourselves a First Blood Match!

The bell rings, and we're having ourselves a match!

Wow! Raven must've expected anything but this! LuFisto is about as hardcore as they come, and has victories over male wrestlers all over North America!

He might not have expected this, but this is his kind of match, just as much as LuFisto's. She may have some victories over men, but Raven has many more, and has done it all over the world.

LuFisto dives under the ring, and comes out with a cookie sheet, and a kendo stick! As she gets in the ring, Raven realizes he's unarmed! He dives out the other side, and grabs a steel chair. As he slides back in the ring, LuFisto lands a snapping shot to his back with the kendo stick. He hits the mat, but is right back to his knees. She lands a hard kick to his ribs, and he's down on his side. She jabs him in the throat with the end of the stick, and won't let him back up. He finally swats the stick away, but is having trouble getting to his feet, and catching his breath. She throws the kendo stick down, and smacks the cookie sheet across the back of his head, and the sound rings throughout the arena. Raven ducks out of the ring again to try and get away from the onslaught. LuFisto drops the cookie sheet, and dives through the ropes with a forearm that catches him in the chest. They're both down, but LuFisto is up quickly. She reaches in the ring, and pulls the chair out, that Raven had retrieved earlier. She swings the chair at his head, but he gets his arms up to block it. She tries again, but he kicks her in the shin, knocking her down. He lands another kick, this time to her face. The ref comes out of the ring, and checks her for blood, but she's fine. Raven gets to his feet, and drops a knee to her forehead. Then he scrapes the bottom of his boot across her face, and drops another knee. He leaves her lying on the concrete, and works on dislodging the steel steps. He finally gets the top half free, just as LuFisto is getting to her feet. He puts her in the front facelock, and gets ready to use the evenflow DDT on the stairs! Before he can do it though, she shoves him back, and he trips over the stairs that he set up! She climbs on to the stairs, and jumps off with a leg drop across his chest. While sitting there, she lands a series of high-speed chops to his chest, and he lets out a yell in pain. She gets off of him, and lets him sit up. She gets behind him, and locks on LuFisto's Law, her version of the rear naked choke!

That's all well and good, but that move won't work here! Not only will a tap-out not win here, but it won't make him bleed!

Are you not realizing, that if he blacks out, she has all the time in the world to use whatever she wants, to make him bleed? This is the perfect move to use here.

After nearly a full minute of being in the choke, Raven isn't moving, and his face is turning purple. The ref pleads with LuFisto to break the hold, and se finally does. She goes back in the ring, and finds the kendo stick. She leaves the ring, again, and rips off Raven's shirt, exposing his chest. She winds up with the kendo stick, and lands 4 hard shots to his chest, but no blood! She falls to a seated position, completely winded. Raven starts to stir, so she gets up, and pulls the chair to the side of the ring. as he gets to his feet, she uses her leg strength to hoist him up to her shoulders! Raven looks dazed, and is barely aware of what's going on. She falls to her knee, and drops Raven face first on the steps with a Burning Hammer! The ref goes to check on him, and calls for the bell!

What?! What happened? Why is the bell ringing?

Apparently, Raven is bleeding! LuFisto has stunned us, and this crowd, and pulled off the upset victory!

LuFisto is back in the ring, celebrating her win, and the crowd finally gives her a pop. She's about halfway up the ramp, when Raven is too his feet, and has a mic.

LuFisto! You were right. Tonight, you drew first blood. And, you were right in saying this wouldn't end here! At BLACK TIDE, it'll be you and me. Extreme Rules! Either this ends there, or we take the next step in killing each other!

LuFisto gets a semi-creepy smile on her face, and nods her head in approval, before heading up the ramp, and to the back.

What an announcement! Raven, versus LuFisto, in an Extreme Rules Match at BLACK TIDE! They're going to kill each other!

That's not the important thing here. Mark E. is in the back with Dee Dragon. Let's go there.

Haven't we already seen him twice? Why is he getting so much air time?

Thanks Mr. 487. I'm back here with the manager of the yummy Jack Swaggah.

I'm also the manager of "The Franchise" Shane Douglas. But, I'm not here to talk about either of them.

Aww, man. Then, what am I here for?

Well, Swagger did ask me to say "hello" for him, but I'm here to tell the NSCW fans about my new clients, Hatebreed. Christian and Justin Credible are here in NSCW with one goal. To win the tag team titles. Franchise may have been robbed of a win going for the NSCW title, and Swagger may have hit a bump in the road against Rey Mysterio, but this team is almost assured of a title reign. They'll be debuting tonight, on THROWDOWN, against some guy Jerry Lynn, and his partner Tajiri. Won't be much of a test, but you got to start somewhere, before you win the titles, right?

Good luck with that. Make sure to give Swaggah a big sloppy kiss for me, OK?

No. That's...Just, no.

As Mark E. walks away, the camera stays on Dee, who is fanning herself.

She needs to get over herself. She doesn't stand a chance with Swaggah.

Why? 'Cause you're in the way?

What?

Nothing. Let's get to the ring, and hear the introductions for our next match, which features the BarbWire Bitches champion.

This non-title match features our Barbwire Bitches, and is scheduled for one fall, under Extreme Rules! Making her way to the ring first, Cheerleader Melissa!

Smells Like Teen Spirit hits the speakers, and the hardcore cheerleading badass busts through the curtains to a nice ovation from the crowd. She's wearing black and red, a far cry from her usual wrestling attire.

Her opponent, the champion of the Barbwire Bitches division, Nikki Roxx!

Nikki Roxx comes through the curtain, holding her title up high, and the crowd gives her a rousing ovation. She gets to the ring, and gives the crowd another look at her belt. She hands the belt off to the ref, and he calls for the bell.

Melissa immediately throws a pom-pom in Nikki's face, and charges at her with a shoulder tackle. She leans on her chest to hold her down, and lands some hard back elbows to the side of Roxx's face. Nikki eventually gets her in a front facelock, but Melissa won't stop the elbows. Nikki gets an arm under Melissa, and pushes her off of her, and steps out of the ring for a breather. Melissa Dies through the ropes with a dropkick, but catches to ropes, so she stays in the ring. Nikki Roxx gets rocked back, and lands on her butt. Melissa slides out after her, and reaches under the ring for a weapon.

Melissa went under the ring, looking for a weapon, and found a table!

What is she going to do? Women aren't meant to go through tables!

Melissa slides the table in the ring, and turns to grab Nikki. Nikki's had time to recover, and lands a right jab to Melissa's chin, knocking her into the ring apron. Nikki rips open part of Melissa's top, and lands a few stiff backhand chops. Melissa falls to her knees, clutching her chest. Nikki uses this to her advantage, and lands a knee to her face, knocking her under the ring. She grabs her leg, and starts to drag her out, but Melissa comes out with a chair in her hands! She smacks it over Nikki's skull, and knocks her to the concrete. She gets to her feet, and then rolls Nikki in the ring, before climbing in herself. She leaves Nikki on the mat, and gets to work setting up the table in the corner. She gets her opponent, and lands a hard judo kick to her chest. She walks her to the corner with the table, and sets up the Kudo Driver! She gets her up, and drops her back, head first through the table!

What the hell was that?! Not only was it some sort of crazy inverted piledriver, but it put Nikki through the table headfirst!

That was absolutely sick. I've never seen anything like that before.

The ref goes to check Nikki, and sees her arm draped over Melissa! He gives the three count, and Nikki has pulled off the win!

How did Nikki do that? Melissa should've won that match! She got lucky!

I'm not usually a believer in "It's better to be lucky than good", but in this case, it rings true.

Melissa look stunned in the ring, as Nikki rolls out of the ring to collect her belt. Nikkis gets to the back, and we head to commercial as Melissa rolls out of the ring.

As we come back from commercial, Just-In is in the back, knocking on the door to Vanessa Kraven's dressing room. She comes out, with a big smile on her face.

Vanessa, you look pleased by what you just saw. You must have something to say to Nikki.

I do have something to say. What I have to say, is Nikki...You better bring something better than that to BLACK TIDE, or I'm walking out of there with your title.

Wait, does this mean you're asking for a title shot at BLACK TIDE?

I'm not asking for anything. I'm telling her we're going to have a match, and I'm going to take her title.

There you have it guys. Vanessa has called out Nikki Roxx for BLACK TIDE. Are we witnessing the dying days of Nikki's young title reign? We'll find out in 3 weeks, at BLACK TIDE.

That could be an amazing match, and I hope Nikki is able to get back on her game before then.

Why are you always dwelling on unimportant material?

What do you mean? How is that unimportant?

So, it's a title match. What we have next, is the debut of a brand new tag team!

Just what this show needs. More Mark E.

This next match, is a tag team match scheduled for one fall! Entering the arena first, weighing a combined 410 pounds, Jerry Lynn and Tajiri!

The high octane tag team makes a sprint to the ring, and they dive in under the bottom rope, before posing for the crowd, as flashbulbs go off around the arena. While they wait in their corner, Destroy Everything rings through the arena, and Mark E. steps through the curtain.

Being led to the ring by their manager, Mark E., and weighing in at a combined 460 pounds, they are Justin Credible and Christian, Hatebreed!

The boos are deafening as Credible and Christian step out on the entrance ramp. They all pose with Mark E., before heading down the ramp, and climbing through the ropes. Mark E. stays on the outside, and lets his men take center stage. Lynn is going to start the match for his team, and Christian will be starting for his.

The bell rings as Lynn and Christian circle the ring, and lock up. Christian shoves Lynn back in to the corner, and gives the break when the ref asks, but not without a thumb to the eye of his opponent. Lynn comes out of the corner, holding his eyes, and Christian lands a dropkick that Lynn can't see to duck. Christian stomps on Lynn's free hand, and then tags in his partner. Justin Credible comes in, and climbs to the middle turnbuckle, and comes off with a leg drop. Lynn rolls away from him, and Credible uses his boot to push Lynn back to the mat, before dropping an elbow on his back. Credible leans off the ropes, and goes for a fist drop, but Lynn avoids it and makes the tag. Tajiri comes in over the top rope with a dropkick to Justin Credible's face. Tajiri goes to the middle rope, and lands a moonsault on his downed opponent. The pinning attempt gets him a 1, and Justin kicks out. Both men are back on their feet, and Tajiri does a front flip into the ropes, comes back with a back elbow. Justin catches him, and lands a tilt-a-whirl back-breaker! He keeps Tajiri's back across his knee, and applies the pressure to his neck and legs, to stretch his back. He drops Tajiri to the mat, and drags Tajiri to his corner, where he makes the tag to Christian. He holds Tajiri's legs up, and Christian lands a falling fist to the mid-section, before wrapping Tajiri's leg around his mid-section. Tajiri tries to squirm loose, but can't break the hold. He finally gets his hands on the ropes, but before the ref can count to 5, Justin Credible rakes his boot across his fingers, releasing the rope. Christian breaks the hold, and charges across the ring, delivering an elbow to Jerry Lynn. The ref is pre-occupied breaking it up, and Justin Credible drapes Tajiri across the ring apron, and drives an elbow into Tajiri's chest. He's back on the apron when the ref turns around, and Christian drags Tajiri back in. He goes to put stomp on the stomach of Tajiri, but Tajiri blocks it, and spins him off. He nips up, and lands a backhand chop to Christian's throat, knocking him to the mat. Tajiri dives for the tag, and in comes Lynn. Christian gets to his feet, and walks in to a left hand by Lynn. Justin Credible comes in, and gets a right. Lynn is landing lefts and rights to both opponents, and Tajiri is back in the ring. They whip their opponents into opposing turnbuckles, and mounts them for the 10-punch count-along. Tajiri and Lynn both come down at the same time, and whip their opponents at each other! Christian reverses though, and sends Tajiri into Justin Credible! Christian looks stunned at what happened, but Jerry Lynn uses Credible's body as a springboard to land a spinning heel kick on Christian.

The ref has lost all control of this match! Who are the legal men now anyway?

I believe it's Christian and Jerry Lynn. It's tough keeping track of all this action!

As they say that, Lynn goes for a cover, and gets a 2, but Credible pulls his leg to break it up. Tajiri is up, and grabs Credible by his jean shorts, and tosses him out of the ring. He uses a plancha to go out after him! Back in the ring, Christian lands a low blow while the ref is distracted! Lynn is hunched over in pain, and Christian takes the opportunity to hit an Unprettier on him! The ref counts the pin attempt, and Christian gets the three count!

Yes! Mark E. is on quite a winning streak tonight! First Douglas gets the win, then Swaggah, and now Hatebreed!

You know full well that Mark E.'s interference is what won Douglas and Swagger their matches, and it's not like Christian and Credible were free of playing dirty here. They won, but I wouldn't call it impressive.

A win is a win. It doesn't matter how you get it.

Back in the ring, Mark E. is holding up the arms of his wrestlers, and the crowd is booing them like crazy. Lynn and Tajiri are heading up the ramp, arm in arm, shaking their heads in disbelief. Hatebreed, and their manager, head to the back, as THROWDOWN heads to commercial.

We come back from commercial, and almost all the lights are down, except for a spotlight on The Pip, who is ready for the introductions for our main event of the night.

The crowd falls silent, and 619 starts to play through the arena. As Rey Mysterio flies through the curtain, the spotlight shines down on him, and fireworks shoot down from the top of the arena, and explode on the ramp. The crowd is electric as Rey makes his way to the ring, and jumps up to the apron. He climbs through the ropes, and mounts each turnbuckle to a huge ovation.

The crowd begins to die down, and the spotlight returns to the top of the ramp. Chris Jericho's music hits, and the ramp is covered in pyro explosions as the countdown reaches 0. As the smoke clears, Jericho comes through the curtain, and gets a mixed reaction from the crowd. He makes his way to the ring, and tosses his vest to the ring attendant before climbing through the ropes. He stays in his corner, and The Pip is ready for in-ring introductions.

Ladies and gentlemen, it is time for our main event of the evening! This match is scheduled for one fall, and is for the NSCW Heavyweight Championship!

The crowd explodes, and is barely quiet enough to hear the rest of the introductions.

To my left, hailing from San Diego...He has defeated Shane Douglas and Jack Swagger to get here...Standing at five feet, six inches tall...Weighing in at 175 pounds, he is the masked superstar...Rey Mysterio!

Rey jumps up to the middle turnbuckle, and the crowd reacts with another loud pop.

His opponent, to my right, hailing from Canada...He has defeated AJ Styles and Diamond Dallas Page to get to this point...He stands at six feet tall, and weighs in at 226 pounds. He is the Lionheart...Chris Jericho!

Jericho raises his hand, and the crowd reaction is very mixed. The Pip leaves the ring, and the men meet in the middle with the ref.

The ref checks both men as they stare at each other. Neither man moves until the ref is done and rings the bell. Jericho moves first, motioning that he's going to have the belt around his waist. Rey shakes his head no, and Jericho gives him a slap for his troubles.

Very tense moments to open up this match. Rey's match last week opened with a slap also, and he ended up winning. Any chance we'll see that again here?

I doubt it Will. Jericho has been on a tear in his matches, and is due to win this title. If Swaggah isn't going to win it, then Jericho would be my second guess.

Jericho turns his back on Rey, and slowly starts to circle the ring. Rey takes this as a sign of disrespect, and grabs Jericho's shoulder, turning him around, and landing a hard forearm to his chin. This rocks Jericho back, but he's still standing. Rey lands a few open forward chops to Jericho, who's chest is turning red. "Whoo"s are ringing throughout the arena. Rey gives Jericho one last chop, but Jericho finally fires back with one of his own, screaming at Rey. Rey gets two more chops across his chest, before Jericho puts a foot behind his legs, and pushes him down to the mat. Jericho grabs Rey's ankle, and straps on an ankle lock, but doesn't grapevine the leg. Rey rolls the move over, and is quick to grab the ropes. Jericho breaks the hold at 4, but keeps a hold of the leg, and pulls him back into the ring. He holds up Rey's legs, and then leaps over them to drop a seated senton onto his chest. The pin attempt only gets a 1, and Rey shoves him off. Rey is up, and comes off the ropes with a flying forearm that takes Jericho off his feet. He does a standing moonsault onto Jericho, and hooks the leg for a 1 of his own. Jericho rolls the shoulder to get out. Rey is to his feet first, and goes for a Lionsault of his own, but Jericho rolls out of the ring, and Rey comes crashing down! Jericho takes the full ref count on the outside to collect himself, and comes back in at 8. Both men circle each other again, and lock up in the middle with a collar-and-elbow tie-up. Jericho's rare size advantage helps him here, and he pushes Rey away, who rolls, and lands in the corner. As Jericho runs at Rey, he uses the corner to get a boot up, and knocks Jericho back. He jumps to the middle turnbuckle, and uses a sunset flip to pull Jericho over into a pin! Rey gets a 2 count before Jericho rolls out. Jericho is coming at Rey again, but is dropped with a drop toe hold. Rey floats over and applies a side headlock. Y2J fights his way to his knees, and runs Rey into the ropes, but Rey holds on, and springs Jericho backwards. Jericho rolls back, but is on his feet, and catches a straight kick attempt by Mysterio. He shoves his foot aside, and then ducks an enziguiri attempt. Rey crashes face down on the mat, and Jericho lock him in the LionTamer! Rey is too short to get to the ropes, and not strong enough to break the hold!

See, Will! Jericho's about to take his place atop the company with this title win!

I hate to say it, but you may be right. This move is devastating, and there's almost nothing Rey can do here.

Back in the ring, Rey is reaching and grabbing for the ropes, but is barely an inch away. Jericho cranks back on Rey's legs even more, and this prompts Rey to use all of his might to military crawl to the ropes. He gets a finger on it, but Jericho lets up, so that he can drag Rey back in. Rey takes advantage of this, and grabs one of Jericho's legs to pull him down. Jericho lands face first on the mat, but is up quickly. Rey is crawling to the ropes again, and is up to the middle turnbuckle before Jericho is on him again. Jericho lands a forearm to his back, and then whips him to the opposite ropes. Rey holds on, almost in desperation, to keep the weight off his legs. Jericho comes at him with a clothesline, and the two competitors fall out to the outside. Rey lands on his stomach, while Jericho comes down on his head and shoulders. The ref is at 5 before Rey is stirring. He's hanging on the ring apron, trying to get to his feet. At 7, he's to his feet, and struggling to get in the ring. Jericho is stirring at this point. Rey gets in at 9, and calls the ref off.

So stupid of Rey. He has this match won, and he called off the ref's count! What is he thinking?

He's a competitor, and doesn't want to win this way! He wants to win the match in the ring!

Jericho takes a few more seconds to get up, and then uses the stairs to get in the ring. He stands on the apron, clutching his head, and out of nowhere Rey lands a standing dropkick, sending Jericho off the ring apron, and into the barrier! Rey falls back down to the mat, reaching for his back. He's still down as Jericho gathers himself, and comes in the ring. Jericho grabs Rey's legs, and slingshots him into the turnbuckle, and then bulldogs him onto the mat. He goes for a Lionsault, and then signals for the LionTamer!

No way! If he locks that on again, Rey is a goner! His back, and legs, have taken too much of a beating to withstand that again!

He should've taken the pinfall victory while he still could. Now, the match is all but over for Rey Mysterio!

Jericho gets a hold of Rey's legs, and rolls him over easily into the LionTamer. Rey, is closer to the ropes this time, and gets a good hold of the bottom rope. The ref is at 4, but Jericho won't break the hold! Rey uses his leverage to sling Jericho off of him, and across the ring! Jericho lands face down on the middle rope! Jericho is trying to gather himself, but Rey comes across with a 619! Jericho is flung back into the center of the ring! Rey turns to the crowd, almost in disbelief, as he's moments away from winning the NSCW Title! But, wait! Jericho is up, and comes from behind and gets Rey with a double underhook! He suplexes him back, and in to the ring, and the ref counts the pin! 1...2...3...We have our first NSCW Heavyweight Champion!

What a great ending! I thought Rey had him with the West Coast Pop, but Jericho wasn't nearly as beat as Rey thought he was!

Jericho was working on Rey's back and legs the whole match, and there was no way that Rey was going to be able to kick out of that pin.

What a finish to a big show! Congratulations to Chris Jericho, our first NSCW Heavyweight Champion!

I have no idea how we're going to follow up a moment like this. Next week will have a lot to live up to. What do we have to look forward to, Will?

We'll see AJ Styles take on "The Franchise" Shane Douglas, a Barbwire Bitches Fatal Four Way match, and we'll see the reactions from LuFisto and Raven on their match tonight!

Sounds like a big show, but I doubt it'll be as big as us seeing our first champion, as well as Mark E.'s stable getting a clean sweep!

Thanks for joining us, and we hope to see you here next week, on THROWDOWN!

I love your show, keep up the good work...GREEN REP!

Thanks


I'm working on the next show. I was almost done on Monday night, but suffered a minor setback (read: I deleted about an hour's worth of work). I'm hoping to get back to writing it tonight, but it may not be up for a few days still.

 

[NSL]

Goldust's music welcomes the fans to the arena, and he enters through the curtain to a chorus of boos. Parents throughout he arena are covering the eyes of their children as he enters the ring, rubbing the rope between his legs suggestively. As he gets to his corner and removes his robe, Eric Young enters the arena, and the crowd pops. He gets to the ring steps, and Goldust holds the ropes open for him, motioning with his finger for Eric to step through. This makes him take a step back, and enter through the other side.

The bell rings, as Goldust blows a kiss at his opponent. Eric Young slaps him, and Goldust comes back with a lock-up. He turns it into an overhead wristlock, and then slams Eric Young back onto the mat, and keeps the hold. Young is able to pull him in, and gets his legs up, to boot into Goldust's face, before shoving him off. He gets to his feet, and uses a single leg takedown to push Goldust to the mat. He drops to the mat, and applies a toehold, but Goldust is close to the ropes, and breaks it easily. He sits up, and pokes his opponent in the eye, and then applies a toehold of his own, all the while kissing Young's foot. The ref is checking on Young, but then catches Goldust using the ropes for leverage. This breaks the hold, and both men are up to their feet. Goldust whips Young into the corner, and charges after him with a knee to the mid-section. He steps back, and lands a hard kick to the stomach, and then sets him up for a bulldog out of the corner. As he steps away from the corner, Eric Young shoves him off, and he crashes down to the mat bottom first. Young leans off the ropes, and falls with a headbutt to Goldust's shoulder. He then applies a keylock, and pulls Goldust to his feet. He pushes Goldust back into the ropes, and then uses an irish whip to send him across the ring. As Goldust comes back off the ropes, he gets caught with a knee smash, and is down on the mat again. Young goes for the cover, but only gets a 1 before Goldust rolls the shoulder. Young gives him a forearm across the face, and goes for the cover again, getting a 2. Young is up, and then slingshots Goldust into the corner, and then gives him a belly-to-back Northern Lights suplex! Goldust is face down on the mat, and Young floats over, and applies a hammerlock. Goldust works his way to his feet, and tries to break the hold with elbows. It doesn't work, so he grabs a hold of Young's head, and drops down to a seated position, smashing Young's jaw shut, and breaking the hold as Young falls down to the canvas. Goldust gets him up, and whips him into the corner, and then tries to set up the Shattered Dreams. As he goes to hook the second leg on the rope, Young reverses it with a sunset flip, and holds it for the cover! The ref gets to 3, and Young wins!

THROWDOWN is on the air!

Mr. 487 walks out first, to almost nothing but boos. The crowd's attitude changes as Metalingus hits, and the former 5-time champ, "The One" Big Will comes through the curtain to a rousing ovation. This prompts Mr. 487 to leave the entrance ramp, and take his seat at the table. Will is right behind him, and they're ready with the show introductions.

I told you Will! Last week, we got to watch Chris Jericho win the first ever NSCW Heavyweight Championship! And, we got to see the awesome debut of Mark E.'s new tag team Hatebreed!

Yes, we did get to see Jericho win the title, but Mysterio put up one hell of a fight. We also found out who would answer Raven's challenge, and it was LuFisto, in a First Blood Match!

While I'm on the subject of Mark E.; how about the dominant wins of Shane Douglas, and Jack Swagger? Mark E. is on such a roll, and I don't see how anyone can slow him down!

You're right, he is on a roll, but I don't see how you can think it was dominant. They all cheated, and they all stole their wins. I'm surprised you haven't mentioned...

And, what about Kane! Bulldog was about to lose his title to Rob Van Dam, but Kane made sure that Bulldog kept the title, so he can face him at BLACK TIDE! I doubt Bulldog will be here this week, but I can't wait to see what happens when he returns.

Yeah, him. This week we'll see Kane take on Finlay. And, as far as your main man Mark E., his guys are all in action as well. Douglas takes on AJ Styles, and Swagger will be in the ring with Mikey Whipwreck. We'll also see Diamond Dallas Page try to exact some revenge on Bossman and Piper, following their assault on him last week.

We'll also see our tag champs, Vladimir Kozlov and Umaga, in action. And, how could I forget the Fatal Fourway elimination match between some of our Barbwire Bitches?

Let's also send a congratulations out to our in-ring interviewer, Erin, on the birth of her new baby. I'm sure we'll see him in action here in the future! Allowing her to stay home this week, we'll see the debut of our new backstage interviewer Jammy! This week, she'll handle any in-ring segments, but she'll be backstage when Erin returns next week.

She had a baby? What kind of loser would sleep with her?

Will just turns his chair, and stares at Mr. 487, who backs his chair away a little, and turns back to the camera.

On that note, let's just head to the ring, where Jammy is waiting.

Jammy is waiting in the ring, awaiting her first interview, and cat-calls are coming from all over the arena. She politely motions to tell the crowd to kiss her butt, and turns back towards the entrance ramp. Twin Method's Fake comes on through the speakers, and Twin Method (CM Punk & Hurricane Helms) enter through the curtain.

What's this? A new look? Do they think this is going to help them here in NSCW?

They don't need the look to help them. They're already the number one contenders for the tag titles, and they're here to talk about when they may cash that title shot in. The lok is just an extension of their brotherhood. CM Punk is here in his half-red, half-black tights, and even dyed half his hair red. Hurricane is the same, but with green, instead.

They look like a couple of punks. Losers. This whole change in look, and attitude, does nothing for them.

Twin Method gets to the ring, and poses on the turnbuckles for the crowd, as bulbs are popping, and people are screaming. They're done posturing, and are ready for their interview.

So guys, you're the number one contenders for the tag titles, currently held by Umaga, and Vladimir Kozlov. But, you haven't talked about when you're cashing it in! So, what gives? When are you taking your shot at the title?

Welcome to NSCW Jammy. And, you're right. We are the number one contenders for the titles. We won that right in a tough match against Dean Malenko and Jamie Noble, and then we took some time for ourselves to think about our shot.

So, you want to know when we're cashing it in? Well, we'll tell you. BLACK TIDE! At NSCW's first ever pay-per-view, we're going to march down the ramp, and pry the titles away from Kozlov and Umaga. They may be bigger, and stronger, but we're faster, and smarter, and those titles are as good as our's!

Jammy is almost doubled over in laughter, and takes a second to compose herself before responding to Twin Method's comments.

Look. Guys, you're good and all, and you're right. You have the speed advantage, but do you honestly think that'll be enough to overcome the monsters you'll be facing? It's not like they're rooted to the ground. But, if that's what you want, then good luck.

You can think whatever you want, but we're leaving BLACK TIDE with gold around our waists!

Twin Method poses one more time before leaving the ring.

Contrary to whatever Jammy may think, I believe Twin Method poses a real threat to the champs. At BLACK TIDE, we'll see just what they can bring to the ring, and may the best team win!

Yeah, we'll see what they can bring, but we'll also see Umaga and Kozlov bring the belts, and leave with them!

Eh, you're both batty. How about we go to the ring, where The Pip is waiting to introductions for our opening match?

Our first match of the night, features our Barbwire Bitches, in a Fatal Fourway Elimination Match!

The crowd goes crazy, as Sarah Stock makes their way to the ring. As she steps through the ropes, the music hits for Natalya Neidhart, and the crowd is torn in their support of her. MsChif is out next, and there's still a good mix of boos, and cheers. Our final entrant into the match is Cheerleader Melissa, and the boos disappear. As she enters the ring, each woman takes a corner, and starts to measure each other up.

The ref calls for the bell, and almost instantly, Sarah, the smallest wrestler in the ring, is being brutalized by the other 3 women. Natalya takes her down with a Lou Thesz press, and MsChif and Melissa are landing kicks and stomps all over her. She reaches for the ropes, and manages to pull herself out from under the beating, and lands hard on the outside. MsChif takes the opportunity to land a smashing forearm to Melissa's temple, and it rocks her into the ropes. Melissa responds with a hard slap, as Natalya crawls the outside after Sarah. MsChif lets out a yell, and her and Melissa go to the mat landing hard lefts and rights on each other. Natalya pulls back on Sarah's arms with a double arm wrench, and delivers three hard curb stomps to her. Sarah's down on the concrete, and Natalya goes back in the ring to take care of the rest of her competition. Melissa and MsChif don't see her coming, and she pulls them both up by the hair. Before she can ram them together, they both land hard backhand chops to her chest, and then grab her arms, slamming her down to the mat. They stretch out her arms, and then drop knees to her shoulder. they both go for armbars, and Natalya is being stretched out in the ring.

What an amazing match set-up this is. Just moments ago, those two women were beating the snot out of each other, and now they're using teamwork to take out Natalya, who is arguably the strongest women in the ring.

Natalya is still my odds-on favorite to win this. She may not be the biggest, but she is the most technically sound, and will find a way to pull this off.

The two women are still wrenching in the armbars, and Sarah is stirring on the outside. She goes to the announcer's position, and steals a chair, before climbing back in the ring. With Natalya stretched out, she promptly lands a chair shot to her chest and abdomen, forcing out a scream in agony. Melissa and MsChif are both enjoying the sight of this, but Sarah quickly turns and smacks MsChif in the face with the chair. This breaks one armbar, and Natalya uses her strength to pull out of the other, as Melissa crawls backwards across the ring, to avoid the chair-swinging wrath of Sarah. Sarah turns her attention back to Natalya and chases her to the outside. She lands another hard chair shot to Nattie's back, sending her to her knees. She positions the chair under Nattie's neck, and leans her over, across the top of the chair. She takes a few steps back, and goes to step on the back of Nattie's head, but she ducks! Sarah ends up crotched on the top of the chair, and Nattie is on her back, catching her breath. Back in the ring, Melissa going for a cover on MsChif, who has a bloody nose from the chair shot. She only gets a 1, as MsChif rolls to the outside to break the pin. MsChif sees Sarah on the chair, and lands a roundhouse kick to her chin, knocking her to the concrete. She goes for a pin, and only gets a 2. She pulls Sarah to her feet, and they're met by Melissa diving through the ropes! All three women are down, just as Nattie is getting to her feet. Melissa is the first of her opponents to stir, and is on all fours. Nattie lines up behind her, and lands a hard shin kick to her crotch. Melissa screams in agony, and falls back to the concrete. Nattie then stomps on MsChif's face to keep her down, and then goes after Sarah. She picks her in a fireman's carry, and then gives her a Samoan drop, right onto the concrete. She reaches under the ring, and the first thing she finds is a metal pole! She rams it into Sarah's chest, right over the fresh cuts from last week. She tosses the pole aside, and scoops up Sarah, before ramming her back into the ring post. She rolls her into the ring, and turns around into the steel pole that she threw aside, being swung by Melissa! Nattie is knocked back into the ring apron, and Melissa goes for another shot with the pole, but MsChif catches it, and rips it from her hands! Sarah reaches through the middle ropes, and pulls Nattie in by her hair. On the outside, Melissa delivers a straight kick to MsChif's chest, dropping her against the announce table. While Sarah and Nattie exchange chops in the ring, Melissa is chopping at MsChif's chest on the outside. Nattie finally overpowers Sarah, and then sends her to the ropes. As Sarah rebounds Nattie is waiting for her with a belly-to-belly suplex. Sarah lands hard on her back, and Nattie goes for a cover, but only gets 2. As this happens, Melissa rolls MsChif back into the ring, and then goes to attack Sarah with Nattie. Nattie and Melissa lands a few kicks to the ribs, but then grab her legs, and make a wish.

Nattie has absolutely no care for the other women in this match. First, she landed a kick to Melissa's crotch, and now she's trying to split Sarah in two!

These women are absolutely killing each other! A win here could go a long way to earning a title shot, and they know it!

They both go for the pin, and Sarah Stock is eliminated easily. Melissa lands a hard left hook to Nattie's chin, and they're fighting on the mat, and Sarah hasn't even left the ring. Melissa helps her up, and then lands kick after kick, knocking her into the corner. She sits her up on the middle rope, and sets up a suplex. Nattie blocks the first attempt, and then MsChif crawls under Melissa's legs, and drops them both back! Nattie takes the hit the hardest, landing on her lower back. Melissa is down, but moving. MsChif is to her feet almost immediately, but ducks outside for a weapon. She heads under the ring, and comes back out with a table! As she struggles to get it in the ring, Melissa is to her feet on the inside. She uses a baseball slide to knock the table into MsChif's face, and then does a rolling senton onto Nattie. She hooks the leg, and get a 2 on the pinfall attempt. She gets to her feet, and then licks her hand before landing a loud smack to Nattie's stomach, busting open the old cut on her stomach. She goes to land another one but Nattie puts a forearm to the back of her leg, knocking her down. She gets to her feet, and pulls Melissa's arm behind her back, and lands a slap to Melissa's chest. She sticks her boot into her chest, and shoves her back, before going to the outside, where MsChif is still down. She slams her knee into MsChif's face, and drives her head into the guardrail. She grabs the table MsChif had issues with, and slides it into the ring. She lands another stomp on Melissa, and gets to work setting up the table. Once she's done setting it up, she turns to grab Melissa. She sets her up on the table, and climbs to the middle rope. As she gains her balance, MsChif is up from the outside! She pushes Nattie off the rope, and onto Melissa, and they break through the table! MsChif climbs to the top rope herself, and then jumps off, landing feet first on Nattie's back.

This match is really going back and forth, between all three women. I can't wait to see how this is going to turn out!

Whenever one woman gets any advantage, it's quickly taken away by someone else. How is any of one of these three supposed to gain a pinfall? I think they'll need to use some teamwork, and take out the stronger foe.

Did...Did you just say something insightful?

MsChif pulls Melissa from the wreckage, and gets her to her feet in the opposite corner.

Look! We need to take her out, if we're going to stand a shot at winning. Are you with me?

Melissa doesn't respond, so MsChif waves her off, and goes after Nattie on her own. She scrapes the bottom of her boot across her face, and then drops an elbow to her chest. Melissa staggers out of the corner, and her and MsChif have a staredown. Before either one can say anything, Melissa drops a knee to Nattie's face, and the beatdown is on. For two, to three, minutes, the two women land punches, kicks, elbows, and knees onto Natalya, and don't let up. Melissa then goes for a pin, but MsChif breaks it up!

Apparently, she wanted to get the pinfall! Any teamwork they had built to this point, is hanging on a thread. This match could explode once again.

The two women are shoving each other back and forth, and this allows Nattie to get to her knees. Instead of going after her opponents, she rolls out of the ring, and finds the steel pole. She slides back in the ring, and before either woman can see her, she bends the pole over MsChif's head, knocking her out cold. Melissa goes to club her with a forearm, but is blocked with the pole. She grabs her arm in agony, and Nattie DDT's her to the mat. Melissa is crawling for the ropes, but Nattie drags her back by her leg. Nattie lifts Melissa's foot, and uses it to slam her knee into the mat. She does this for both legs, and Melissa is still trying to escape the ring. Natalya stops her by dropping an elbow to the back of her neck, and then applying a headlock. Melissa uses the ropes to get to her feet, but she can't break the hold. She goes for a back suplex, but she's wearing down, and isn't able to lift her opponent. Nattie lets out a laugh, and then wrenches in the headlock even more. She walks her across the ring, and then drops her to the mat next to MsChif, and they're both face down. Nattie stalks her prey for a moment, and then gets a sick grin across her face. She squats down between her opponents, and locks in a SharpShooter on MsChif, before using her free hand, and free leg, to apply another SharpShooter on Melissa! Almost instantly, both of her opponents are squirming, but neither is close enough to the ropes. MsChif is barely stirring, but the pain is showing on her face.

This is insane! Nattie's used her strength to apply sharpshooters to both of her opponents, and neither one of them can get out!

The irony of this, is that the more they squirm, the less chance either has of getting out. Nattie is bridging them together, so neither one can roll it out, and they can't crawl to the ropes without working together! Melissa's legs have got to be shredding apart right now. They're too long and lean for this to not be super effective.

Nattie leans back, pulling both legs, and Melissa taps almost instantly. Cheerleader Melissa has been eliminated! Nattie doesn't release the hold yet, and is laughing maniacally as MsChif screams in pain. As the screams get louder and louder, she has no choice but to tap as well! MsChif has been eliminated! Natalya wins!

What an impressive display of strength by Natalya Neidhart. Since her loss on our first show, she's been on a tear, beating anyone, and everyone, that stands in her way. This win here will be a rather big feather in her cap.

That's damn right. This match started out as a hardcore beatdown, and turned into Nattie just taking control, and ending it as only she can.

We head to commercial, with Natalya celebrating in the ring, standing over her downed opponents.

We return, with Jamie Noble and Dean Malenko already on their way to the ring. The crowd is mostly quiet, but there's some audible boos. They enter the ring, and head to their corner, before we get the introductions from The Pip.

Their opponents, weighing in at a combined 652 pounds...They are the NSCW Tag Team Champions...They are Umaga and Vladimir Kozlov!

Umaga and Kozlov step through the curtain to a tremendous amount of boos. They make their walk to the ring, completely emotionless. They climb in the ring, and hand their belts to the ref, before Umaga steps out of the ring, meaning Kozlov will start. Jamie Noble will start for their opponents.

As the bell rings, Noble charges across the ring, and is met by Kozlov's fist. He hits the mat with a thud, and Kozlov lands another hard punch to Noble's chest. Noble is down, and clutching his chest, gasping for air. Malenko comes in, trying to save his partner, and Kozlov stops him with a devastating headbutt. Kozlov tosses Noble into the corner, and tags in Umaga. Umaga pulls Noble into the center of the ring, and uses a Samoan spike to drop him to the mat once again. He goes for the cover, and gets the easy three count.

Did you see that, Will? You think Twin Method stands a chance against a team like that? Look how easily they just dispatched of Malenko and Noble!

That was the definition of a one-sided match-up. I can't help but be impressed, but I don't think it'll be that easy at BLACK TIDE.

No matter how you feel, you have to think that Kozlov and Umaga are going to walk away from the pay-per-view with the titles.

Let's head to the back, where Just-In is waiting with LuFisto, fresh off her hard fought victory over Raven last week, in a First Blood Match.

Thanks, Will. As you said, I'm back here with LuFisto, who won in a brutal fight with Raven last week. LuFisto, what do you have to say about your comments before the match, as well as the match itself?

Last week, I told Raven that I was going to draw First Blood, and I did just that. Now, we have an Extreme Rules match at BLACK TIDE, and I'm telling him now that I'll walk out of that match with a win also.

Raven definitely bought the fight to you last week, not holding back, just because you're a...

Don't even say that he should've held up because I'm a girl! I'll show you what a girl can do! Making him bleed was easy. He'll find out what I can do at BLACK TIDE.

LuFisto storms off, and Just-In looks stunned. The camera cuts away, and we turn to Dee Dragon, who is also in the back. She has Zachary, who has some comments about our main event.

So, boss. Ya got something to say? I hear Swagger's getting ready for a match, and I'm pretty sure he'll need someone to wash his back.

As much as I'm sure you'd love to volunteer for that job, his match is next. I'd think he's done with his shower. Anyway, I'm hear to talk about Bam Bam Bigelow's attack on Evan Bourne. Two weeks ago, they were scheduled to have a one-on-one match, that Bam Bam requested, because he felt he was shown up on our first episode. I granted him the match, and he thanked me by attacking Bourne before the bell rang. And then, got himself disqualified when he wouldn't let up on his assault. So, here's what I'm going to do. Bourne wants a match tonight, but won't be cleared until next week. So tonight, he'll face Rey Mysterio. Next week, Bourne will get his match next week, and to make sure the fight is fair, it's going to be inside a steel cage!

Is that it? If you're done, I'm going to see if Swaggah wants a last second "rub-down" before his match.

What an announcement by the commissioner! We're going to see Rey Mysterio and Bam Bam Bigelow face off in our main event!

So we have our main event, but I doubt it'll be bigger than the next match. We get to see Swaggah in action! I'm not a fan of Mikey Whipwreck, or his thug manager Gunnz, but when I heard Gunnz demanded a re-match this week, I was ecstatic.

I was also. I'd love to see Gunnz get his hands on Mark E. for once.

First, on his way to the ring, accompanied by Gunnz, he is Mikey Whipwreck!

Whipwreck's music hits, and the crowd goes crazy. Gunnz steps out first, and Mikey is right behind him. Mikey gives a lot of high-fives on his way to the ring, but Gunnz is all business. You can almost see the rage on his face, wanting to get a hold of Mark E.

Jack Swagger's music hits next, and he manages to get a semi-positive reaction from the crowd.

His opponent, being led to the ring by Mark E...He is the All-American American, Jack Swagger!

The curtain flies open as Swagger steps through to the arena. Mark E. isn't far behind, but is notably avoiding eye contact with anyone in the ring. Mark E. doesn't even enter the ring with Swagger, and just stays on the outside, close to the ramp. Gunnz steps out on the other side, and the ref calls for the bell.

Swagger and Whipwreck circle each other to start the match, with neither man making a move. Swagger stops in front of where Gunnz is on the outside, and wipes his boots on the mat, kicking dirt in his face. Mikey takes offense to it, and charges at Swagger with a diving forearm. Swagger sees it coming, and back body drops Whipwreck over the top rope, and into Gunnz's arms. Gunnz puts Mikey down, and escorts him to the ring steps, keeping an eye on Mark E., to make sure he doesn't interfere. Mikey starts his way up the steps, as Gunnz turns his back to the ring, staring down his counterpart on the outside. As Mikey steps through the ropes, Swagger runs at him, and lands a hard kick to his chest, crumpling him to the mat. He goes for a quick pin, but Mikey gets a hand on the ropes at 1. Swagger picks him up by his head, and lands 3 hard forearm shots to his chest. He grabs Mikey's arm, and lock in an armbar, and grapevines the arm to lock it in. Mikey is reaching for the ropes, but Swagger has too good a hold of his arm to let him get anywhere near them. Mikey is writhing in pain, but Swagger won't let go. Mikey keeps squirming, and eventually gets a foot on the ropes, but Swagger doesn't break it until the ref's 4 count. Mikey is hanging on to the ropes for dear life, as Swagger grabs his arm, and struggles to break his grip, and pull him into the ring. He's standing over him, yelling at him to get up.

C'mon Mikey! Get up! Is this all you got! You should've never come out here! The beating you got last week wasn't enough?

As Swagger finishes, Mikey grabs his head, and rolls him up with an inside cradle! The ref is at 2 when Swagger finally kicks out, and he looks furious as he gets to his feet. Mikey is only on a knee before Swagger lands a straight kick to his temple, sending him back to the canvas hard. He mounts him, and lands 6 quick rights to his face, bringing a trickle of blood from under his eye. He scoops him up, and slams him right back down, and goes for the pin, getting a slow 2 before Mikey rolls his shoulder.

Why won't Mikey stay down? Swagger obviously has him beat, and he just doesn't know it.

Swagger does not have him beat. He doesn't have him beat, until the ref counts to three. Mikey can still come back, and win this.

Back in the ring, Swagger is stomping on Mikey's chest, before helping him p, and whipping him into the turnbuckle. Mikey lands chest-first, and flips up and over the top rope, landing on Gunnz's head. Gunnz buckles under the hit, and hits his head on the stairs, before landing on the concrete. Mark E. sees this as his chance, and goes after Mikey, as Swagger is keeping the ref busy in the ring. Mark E. is landing punch, after punch on Mikey's back, and gives him a stiff kick in the ribs, sending him sailing into the ring post. Mark E. helps him up, and rolls him back in the ring, before taking off back to the ramp as Gunnz begins to stir. As Mikey gets to his feet, Swagger sets him up for the gutwrench powerbomb, and slams him back to the mat with authority. He goes for the pin, and the three count is elementary. Swagger rolls out of the ring, and celebrates on the ramp with Mark E. before heading to the back.

As we go to commercial, a video package shows what happened, and Gunnz is crawling in the ring to check on Mikey.

 

[NSL]

We return from commercial, and the camera is on "The One" Big Will, and Mr. 487, at the announce table.

That was a great match. Swagger dominated the whole way through, and found a way to win, under incredible circumstances.

What did you smoke during that break? Yes, Swagger dominated, but there were no "incredible circumstances", and he didn't "find a way to win". Mark E. took advantage of Gunnz being knocked out, and jumped Mikey while he was down. Swagger may have won the match anyway, but there was no need for that. One day, Gunnz is going to get his hands on Mark E., and I can't wait for it.

Yeah, it's just like you to want to see a non-wrestler get injured. Let's just get ready for the next match, so we can see Mark E. down here again.

Mark E. steps through the curtain as the music begins for "The Franchise" Shane Douglas. The crowd is booing him like crazy, and he's loving it. He makes a long, slow walk to the ring. Mark E. is right next to him, constantly looking over his shoulder, and peering through the crowd. The music stops, and the crowd starts cheering loudly for AJ Styles, as he bursts through the curtain as his music starts. He starts his way to the ring, and starts high-fiving all the fans before entering the ring. Mark E. steps to the outside, as AJ removes his hooded vest. Right as the ref goes to call for the bell, the music for Chris Benoit starts! He steps through the curtain, and marches to the announce table, glaring at Shane Douglas and Mark E. the whole way.

What is this guy doing down here? He's not in this match! He has no business being down here!

Chris Benoit grabs a headset, and takes a seat next to Mr. 487 at the table.

Hi Mr. Benoit! Pleasure to see you down here at the announce table tonight. Can I get you anything? Water? Gatorade? Peanut butter and jelly sandwich?

How about you get yourself a tall glass of SHUT THE HELL UP? I'm not here to make friends with you. I'm here to make sure that Mark E. doesn't try and get involved here. I'm getting sick, and tired, of Mark E. and his goons deciding to steal their victories.

Exactly how I feel Chris. Their tactics since the very first episode of THROWDOWN are appalling, and someone needs to stop them.

As Benoit gets comfortable at the table, Mark E. quickly circles the ring, to avoid standing near him. Franchise has an eye on him as well, and the ref finally calls for the bell. Franchise is still staring down Benoit on the outside, and AJ Styles comes flying across the ring with a spinning heel kick, dumping Douglas to the floor. He uses the ropes to springboard over the top rope, and land a leg drop to the back of Shane's head. He helps him up, and throws him back in the ring, before climbing to the top rope from the outside. Douglas gets to his feet a second before AJ comes down with a double axe handle, knocking him down to a knee. Aj runs off the opposite ropes, and lands a dropkick to the back of Shane's head, who rolls to the outside to collect himself. Mark E. is over with a towel to wipe the sweat off his face, and give him a pep talk. AJ fakes a dropkick through the ropes, and Douglas and Mark E. both duck to avoid it. As AJ pulls himself back in the ring, Douglas climbs in from the steps. Both men charge at each other, and both go down, as they both went for running clotheslines! The ref utilizes his count, but AJ is up at 4. The ref gets him to the other corner, and then is at 7 when Shane gets to his feet. The two wrestlers lock up in the center of the ring, and Douglas powers Styles back into the corner. The ref calls for a break, but Franchise gives him a thumb to the eye, and then starts delivering chops to his chest. After about 5 chops, AJ drops down to a seated position, leaning against the middle turnbuckles. Franchise kicks him twice in the gut, and then shoves his boot into the side of his neck, while standing on his other ankle, so he can't go anywhere. The ref is at 4 before Shane breaks the hold. AJ is barely at his feet, and Shane charges at him with a shoulder block, knocking him back into the corner. He gives one more, doubling over AJ, and then bulldogs him back to the middle of the ring. He rolls him over, and goes for a pin, only getting a 2 before AJ kicks out. Franchise gets up, and goes to pick up AJ by his hair, but AJ puts his feet into his chest, and shoves him back into the ropes. AJ finally gets to his feet, but Shane is behind him. Before he can do anything, AJ leaps, and catches him with an awesome Pele kick! Shane is rocked into the ropes, and falls through the middle ropes, right in front of the announce table. Mark E. goes to help him up, but remembers Benoit is there, and settles for shouting from the corner. AJ goes for a plancha over the top rope, but Shane ducks, and AJ goes through the table! "The One" Big Will checks on AJ, as Mr. 487 stands nearby laughing. Franchise goes to land a kick to AJ, but Benoit is up, and starts to back him away. Shane Douglas backs all the way up, around the corner of the ring, and Benoit is face-to-face with him, not letting him near AJ, who Will is still tending too. Mark E. sees this as an opportunity, and starts to lay some kicks onto AJ's back. The ref is busy trying to separate Benoit and Douglas, and doesn't see the attack. Will is yelling at Mark E., to back off, threatening to drag him in the ring. Mark E. does back off, but only because he notices Benoit running at him. He starts to go around the ring, but Gunnz is on his way down the ramp! Mark E. dives in the ring, and is quickly surrounded with Will, Benoit, and Gunnz waiting for him on the outside. Franchise meanwhile has picked up AJ, and is ramming his face into the barrier. The ref calls for the bell, as this mess has gotten out of hand. Franchise begins poking the ref, and yelling at him for ringing the bell. Back in the ring, Mark E. is white as a ghost, and has nowhere to run. He takes the only route out, and dives to the outside, and under the ring. Will and Gunnz go after him, and Benoit jumps in the ring, with a mic in his hand. Before he can say anything, Mark E. crawls out of the side near the ramp, and takes off to the back, with a noticeable wet spot on the front of his slacks. Will and Gunnz come out near Shane and the ref, and Shane responds by taking off around the ring, and up the ramp after his manager.

Gunnz makes his way to the back, with the fans cheering his attempt at going after Mark E. Will forces Mr. 487 back to their seats at what used to be the announce table. Benoit is in the ring, and is finally ready to speak.

You know Shane, I've had enough of this bulls**t. You, Jack Swagger, and Mark E. have been cheating your way through the roster here at NSCW, and that isn't going to fly with me. You may have gotten away with it up until this point, but next week, it stops. AJ Styles and myself, we're calling you guys out for a tag match, next week on THROWDOWN. We'll be there, and if you two aren't the chickens**t you appear to be, you'll meet us in the ring!

Benoit throws down the mic, and poses on the turnbuckles for the fans before heading to the back.

That's right Benoit! Settle this like men! I can't wait to see this match next week. We'll have AJ Styles, and Chris Benoit, taking on "The Franchise" Shane Douglas, and "The All-American American" Jack Swagger!

There's nothing to settle! Swagger and Franchise are clearly the better men, and the match next week will show that. Benoit better be careful what he asks for.

Mark E. is just lucky that I didn't get a hold of him now. This would've been settled now, but I don't mind waiting until next week.

The conversation comes to an abrupt end as the music begins for Kane, who steps through the curtain with his religious nut manager C.C.S.

Standing at six foot, 9 inches tall, and weighing three hundred pounds, he's being led to the ring bu his manager, C.C.S., he is the Big Red Machine...Kane!

C.C.S. slides into the ring, and goes corner to corner, pointing at his Bible, telling the fans they need to read the "good book", and change their lives. Kane steps over the top rope, and even the ref takes a step back in fear. The lights come back on, and the music starts for Finlay. He steps through the curtain, and makes the long walk to the ring. He climbs through the ropes, and removes his vest, and the bell rings, signaling the start of the match.

Finlay goes for a test of strength against Kane, but Kane uses an arm drag to throw him down to the mat. He drops down, and blatantly chokes him in front of the ref. The ref gets to 3 before Kane breaks the choke, and picks up Finlay. Finlay goes for a kick, but Kane catches his foot, and clotheslines him back to the mat, before kicking the back of his leg. Finlay is reaching for the ropes, but Kane drags him into the middle of the ring, and drops an elbow to his throat. He leans off the far ropes, and lands a big leg drop to Finlay's chest. The ref goes for a pin count, but Kane gets up, stopping the count. He pulls Finlay up, wraps his hands around his throat, and tosses him into the turnbuckle. He runs in after him, and gives him a diving shoulder block to the upper chest. Finlay collapses to the mat, and Kane steps on the back of his head, before using the ropes to add some pressure. The ref yells at him to break, and he finally does at the count of 4. C.C.S. is on the outside, laughing at the beating that Kane is giving Finlay, and screaming at Finlay, asking if he's read his Bible lately. Kane pulls Finlay to his feet, and sets him up for a Tombstone piledriver. He walks all the way around the ring, before dropping Finlay on his head in front of C.C.S. The ref gets ready to count the pin, but Kane holds on, and stands back up! He walks around the ring again, holding onto Finlay with one hand, before dropping him with another one! The ref gets to count the pinfall, but Kane breaks the cover at 2! Kane drags Finlay by his arm to the corner, and then props him up against the corner. He then sits him on the top rope, and grabs him by the throat, choking him. The ref gets to a 3 count, before Kane pulls Finlay off, and slams him against the mat. He stands on Finlay's gut, as the ref counts to three, giving Kane the victory!

That was a picture perfect beat down by Kane. Finlay probably has no clue what just happened to him.

He may have had an easy time dispatching Finlay, but I don't think Bulldog will be so easy. Hopefully next week, we'll get to hear Bulldog's reaction to Kane's challenge.

We head to commercial as Jammy is climbing in the ring to have a word with Kane and C.C.S.

THROWDOWN returns from commercial, and Jammy is standing by with Kane and C.C.S.

Kane...C.C.S...Is there anything that needs to be said, following what we just saw with Finlay? What about your challenge, and attack on Bulldog? I think it was uncalled for. You could've had a match with Bulldog, without the title on the line, or you could've faced RVD for the title. Instead, you attacked him like a coward...

Did you just call Kane a coward? He is not a coward! The attack last week was carefully planned. We wanted Bulldog to have the title, so we could meet him at BLACK TIDE, and take the title off him, and continue to break him down, and make him see the light, and face the man he should become. Until Kane has beaten him down, and taken everything from him, he will not see the light. He will not follow the light.

Yes, I called Kane a coward. And now I'm calling you a freak! You both need to get over yourselves, and go see your own light, and leave Bulldog alone. Your attack last week could've ended his career, and then you never would have had a match with him.

Kane turns, and stares at Jammy, burning a hole through her with his eyes. Jammy takes a step back, but C.C.S. is standing right behind her, stopping her from getting away.

We do what we do, because that's how we have it planned. Don't ever question us again. Or, you will feel my wrath.

Kane rips the microphone from her hand, and throws it to the mat before leaving the ring. Jammy slowly makes her way out, trembling.

Kane had a point to make, and he definitely made it in emphatic fashion. There's no reason to scare an innocent ring interviewer like that though.

Uncalled for? She was trying to demean him, and he took offense to it. It's not like he put his hands on her! why don't we just quit arguing, before you hurt me, and get to the next match.

Why don't we? This next match is DDP's chance at revenge, following the sneak attack by Big Bossman last week. Let's head to the ring.

The crowd awaits the next match, as Big Bossman walks through the curtain, being led by "Rowdy" Roddy Piper, as his music booms through the arena. The crowd is booing both of them like crazy, excited to see what may happen to them once the bell rings. Self High Five hits the speakers next, and the crowd erupts, but Diamond Dallas Page is nowhere to be seen on the entrance ramp...

From out of nowhere, DDP jumps over the guardrail, and slides in the ring, tackling Bossman, and landing fist after fist while the ref is hanging on his back, trying to break up the melee. The ref keeps pulling, but can't get DDP off of Bossman. Piper is in the corner, staying away from the fracas. Finally, two more refs are in the ring, and help get DDP off of Bossman's lifeless body. The original ref rolls out of the ring, and talks to The Pip.

I've just been informed, that as a result of this attack, this match has been ruled as a No Contest, meaning there is no winner!

The crowd boos in chorus, as the TitanTron comes to life.

Well, well, well. What do we have here? The fans want to see a match. I want to see a match. This match will happen. Bossman found it funny to sneak attack DDP last week, and DDP got his revenge this week. As soon as Bossman is on his feet, ring the bell, and get this match underway. Oh yeah, Piper, if you feel the urge to get involved, don't. It'll get Bossman disqualified, and make their match at BLACK TIDE a steel cage match!

Piper is going absolutely batty in the ring, screaming at DDP, who is in his corner, licking his chops, rubbing his hands together, waiting for Bossman to get to his feet. The ref gets back in the ring, and eventually gets Piper to leave the ring, reminding him the stipulations that Zachary had just placed on the match. Bossman takes a minute or two to get to his feet, and the ref calls for the bell.

Bossman is wobbly, punch-drunk from the assault DDP just laid on him before Zachary's announcement. DDP charges at him with a knee to the mid-section, and then immediately hits him with a diamond cutter, taking the big man to the canvas. He springs to his feet, and drops two leaping knees onto Bossman's forehead. He goes for the cover, but Bossman is able to roll the shoulder after a quick 2. DDP helps Bossman to his feet, and whips him into the turnbuckle, before following him in, and smashing his face into that same turnbuckle repeatedly. The crowd counts along, but stops at about 11, or 12. DDP eventually stops, and delivers a stiff back elbow to Bossman's face, knocking him straight back to the mat. DDP takes advantage of this, and drops a fist to Bossman's groin. The ref admonishes him for this, but DDP goes for the lateral press, getting the simple three count, and the victory. Piper immediately gets into the ring, and starts stomping away on DDP, but he's able to roll out, and make his way up the ramp.

DDP showed up tonight with one thing on his mind: revenge. And boy, did he get it. Not only did he get his chance before the match, but he was able to take advantage of a weakened Bossman, and pick up the pinfall victory. I, for one, cannot wait to see this match at BLACK TIDE.

DDP used low-ball tactics to pull off the upset here. There's no way that he would beat Bossman in a one-on-one match, and he knows that! So, he crept into the ring, and jumped Bossman from behind. He's lucky Piper is in that neckbrace, or he would've got what he deserved.

You are completely crazy, if you think that Piper wouldn't have gotten involved in that match-up. The only thing that stopped him, was the commissioner's proclamation, that if he interfered, it would cause a steel cage match at BLACK TIDE between Diamond Dallas Page and Big Bossman! I just got word, that Dee dragon is in the back, with Raven, for his reactions on last week's loss to LuFisto in a violent First Blood Match.

Yeah, that's right Will. I'm back here with Raven, again. Why am I always interviewing the same people? Anyway, Raven, here, take the mic. Say what you have to say.

Dee hands Raven the mic, and then stands there with her arms folded. Raven takes the mic, looking at her slightly puzzled.

I'm pretty sure everyone out there knows why I'm here right now. So, I'll keep this short and simple. LuFisto, you got lucky last week. I'll admit, you put up a hell of a match, but it was a fluke. I hope you know what you got yourself into little girl. You drew first blood, just like you said you would, but that's not the name of the game at BLACK TIDE. At BLACK TIDE, we'll face off in an Extreme Rules match. Making your opponent bleed won't be enough. You'll need to break me down, and hurt me. No one hurts me. You'll find that fact out soon enough. I'm going to take your body to the limit, and I'm going to take you to a whole new level of extreme.

Raven tosses the mic back at Dee Dragon, and storms off towards his locker room. Dee fumbles the mic, but gains her composure, and turns to the camera.

Apparently, someone has a hard time losing to a girl. Sucks for him...

Um, thanks Dee. Will, it looks like Raven is as focused as ever. LuFisto better prepare for this match, or she's going to get snapped in two, and it won't be pretty.

I certainly respect LuFisto, and everything she has done for the world of hardcore, but I'm at a loss for words when it comes to Raven. He is a master of the extreme environment, and this could be a level that LuFisto can't reach. When we come back from this break, we'll hear from NSCW's first ever Heavyweight Champion, Chris Jericho!

I'm so excited for this! I can't wait!

As the camera fades out to commercial, Chris Jericho's music can be heard in the background.

THROWDOWN returns from commercial again, with Jericho in the ring, posing with his shiny new piece of hardware. Jammy is entering through the ropes, and stops Jericho dead in his tracks. His jaw drops slightly as he sees her standing there with her dress clinging to every curve.

Jericho, this is fairly simple. What do oyu have to say to the fans of NSCW, about winning the first ever NSCW Heavyweight title, and about your competition thus far here?

Oh....Yeah, the title. Sorry, I was a bit distracted there. Jammy, my competition so far, has done wonders to prepare me for the future of NSCW. AJ Styles was an incredible test, and pushed me to the limits. It set me up for a duel with Diamond Dallas Page. After those two matches, I didn't think it could get an tougher. Then came Rey Mysterio. He put up a hell of a match, but it wasn't nearly enough to overcome my Lionheart, and win the title. Now that this title is on my shoulder, I can finally shout, at the top of my lungs, I'm the king of the world baby! I may have had some tough matches leading up to putting this title around my waist, but I overcame them. There's no one that can beat me now. This title will stay around my waist as long as I wish, and I don't see that coming to an end anytime soon. To everyone in the locker room, you can come, and you can try and wrest this title from my dead cold fingers, but you won't succeed. No one will. You can come in droves of 3, or 4, and you still won't take it.

So, what's next? Is there a match lined up for BLACK TIDE? Or, have you been left in the dark, as far as what the future is for the NSCW Title?

Interestingly enough, I've been told that there is a match set up for BLACK TIDE, but I haven't been told who I'll be facing, or if the title will even be on the line. Honestly, though, it doesn't really matter who it is. I'll walk away from BLACK TIDE victorious.

I'd like to say I wish you luck, but I can't do that, not knowing who you'll be facing, or even how many guys you'll be facing.

So, don't wish me luck. I don't need it. What I do need, is a shower. Care to join me in my dressing room?

Jammy drops the mic, and leaves the ring in disgust. Jericho just smirks as he exits the ring, and blows her a kiss. He makes his way to the back, stopping at the top of the ramp to pose, and show off his belt one last time for the night.

It's good that Jericho is confident, but it's borderline cocky, and that could be his downfall as champ. As a former five-time champ myself, I know to never underestimate your competition, and never assume you're better than them. If he walks into BLACK TIDE with this attitude, he could lose his title, before he's even in his rhythm for the match.

There's a big difference between you and Chris Jericho. He won't lose his title. He'll retire as a one-time NSCW champ, and it'll be greater than any reign you ever had with your titles. Jericho is a true competitor, and will show up prepared to take on anyone.

There's still a number of people available for him to face at BLACK TIDE. What about Mikey Whipwreck? Jack Swagger? "The Franchise" Shane Douglas? Chris Benoit? Or, just maybe, the man we'll see in this next match, the man Jericho defeated in the finals of the NSCW title tournament, Rey Mysterio!

Rey wishes he could have another title shot. He had his chance, and he blew it showboating on the outside. Let's head to commerical, so we can see the main event without any interruptions.

A video package replays everything surrounding the main event as we head to our final commercial of the night.

Bam Bam Bigelow is already on his way to the ring as we return, and the crowd is booing him more than anyone else on the card tonight. He doesn't seem to care, as he just rolls in the ring, and goes to his corner, awaiting his opponent. 619 hits the speakers, and the cheers begin almost as loudly as the boos for Bam Bam Bigelow as Rey Mysterio busts through the curtain, and makes his way to the ring. Bam Bam Bigelow is unphased by the cheers, as he continues to wait for Rey, who is taking his time getting to the ring. He climbs up on the apron, and climbs through the bottom rope, before climbing each turnbuckle, and basking in the love the crowd is feeding him. He climbs down off the last turnbuckle, and waits for the ref to ring the bell.

The ref calls for the bell, and Rey immediately has to sidestep a charging Bam Bam. Bigelow crashes through the ropes, planting his shoulder against the turnbuckle. Rey gives him a kick in the backside, and then jumps on his back, stomping on his ribs, as the ref utilizes his count. At 3, Rey jumps down, and Bigelow catches him with a spinning back fist, knocking him clear off his feet, landing on the mat back first. Bigelow shakes the feeling back into his other arm, before climbing to the middle rope, and flying off with a splash. He hooks the leg, but Rey is barely able to roll the shoulder at 2 to avoid the loss. Bam Bam stands up, clearly frustrated, and grabs Rey by his head, pulling him to his feet. He tosses him over his shoulder, and charges at the opposite turnbuckle, and drops Rey onto the corner, in a rough snake eyes. Rey collapses off the turnbuckle, sliding down, face first, bouncing off each one. Bigelow grabs his leg, and goes to pull him into the ring, but Rey is holding on to the bottom ropes. Bam Bam walks in towards the corner, and goes to snap Rey back, to release his hold, but Rey is able to mule kick him in the chin, knocking him back, and breaking the hold on his leg. As Bam Bam collects himself in the ring, Rey is clinging to the ropes, catching his breath. He finally gets to his feet, and Bam Bam is on his in the center of the ring. Bam Bam runs into the corner, but Rey is able to get his feet up and land a straight dropkick. He climbs to the top rope, and goes for a flying hurracanrana, but Bigelow catches him, and drops him with a powerbomb! He scoops Rey up again, tossing him over his shoulder, and charging at the ropes. He goes to dump him over, but Rey is able to hold on, and reverse the momentum, sending Bigelow tumbling over the top rope, and onto the floor. Rey skins the cat to get back in the ring, and squats in the opposite corner, so the ref can count. Bam Bam is able to get to his feet by 5, and climbs into the ring by 7. Rey continues the attack, and lands forearm shots to his back. Bam Bam is able to shove him back, and knock him off his feet. Both men are on their knees now, swinging at each other wildly. Bam Bam is able to land the hard shot first, knocking Rey back, off his knees, and onto the canvas. He works his way to his feet, and then goes at the far ropes, and comes off with another splash, but Rey rolls out of the way, as Bam Bam crashes and burns! Bam Bam is face down on the mat, as Rey climbs to the middle turnbuckle, and flies off with a rolling senton onto the big man's back. He climbs the other turnbuckle quickly, and lands a splash of his own on to the big man. He attempts to roll him over, but isn't nearly strong enough. He is able to climb on his back, and attempt a camel clutch, but is unable to lock it in before Bigelow gets to the ropes. Rey makes a clean break immediately, and goes to the opposite corner. Bam Bam pulls himself to his feet, and turns to stare at Rey, who is getting the better of him now. He makes another charging attempt at Rey, who sidesteps him once again, and he again crashes into the ring post. Rey climbs to the top turnbuckle over Bam Bam, and goes for a sunset flip. Bam Bam is able to block it, and attempts a Banzai drop onto Rey's chest, but he's just barely able to slide out from under him. Bam Bam is on his knees, leaning on the middle rope, and Rey sees the perfect chance for the 619! Rey flies off the near ropes, and then catches the ropes next to Bam Bam, and spins his legs around, knocking him back into the center of the ring. He springs to the top rope, and perches himself, waiting for Bam Bam to get to his feet. After a few seconds, Bam Bam begins to stir, and gets to his feet. Rey doesn't hesitate, and leaps off the ropes with a beautiful West Coast Pop. Bam Bam falls backwards, with Rey on his chest, who hooks the legs. The ref counts 1...2...3! Rey Mysterio has won!

Shortly after his music starts, and he begins to celebrate with the crowd, a familiar voice comes over the speakers as the TitanTron comes to life again.

Most impressive Rey. The fans love you. They loved all of your matches in the NSCW Heavyweight Title tournament, and they loved you here tonight. Jericho was right earlier, a match has been made for BLACK TIDE, in which he will defend his newly won gold. And, you're his opponent. I'm not about storylines, angles, or locker room drama. I'm here to give the fans what they want, and that's Rey Mysterio in the main event at BLACK TIDE. Don't let me down, and don't let these fans down.

The screen fades to black, as Rey's music starts over, and the crowd manages to get even louder at this news. the camera turns to "The One" Big Will and Mr. 487, who are still sitting ringside.

This show will have to go down as one of the landmark episodes of THROWDOWN. We've had feuds build, and we had the main event of our first ever PPV announced! At BLACK TIDE, we'll see the NSCW Champion Chris Jericho, defend against Rey Mysterio, the appointed number one contender by our owner, Matthew!

Don't forget the huge win by Jack Swagger, and the near win by Shane Douglas, before that stupid ref called for the bell to end it. And, we go to see Kane dominate another opponent, here in the NSCW Arena.

We also opened our show, with Nattie making a strong claim to be the number one contender to the NSCW Barbwire Bitches title, currently held by Nikki Roxx. Next week, we'll see Chris Benoit team up with AJ Styles, as they take on Mark E.'s top goons Jack Swagger, and Shane Douglas.

I, for one, cannot wait to see that match-up. Swagger and Douglas are going to show those goody two-shoes how to win a match the right way. I'm also excited to see Bam Bam Bigelow defeat Evan Bourne, when Evan Bourne makes his return to THROWDOWN in a Steel Cage match!

That feud has quickly come to a boil, and hopefully we'll see the better man walk away from that match next week. Also, next week here on THROWDOWN, we'll finally get to see Vanessa Kraven, in her first action, and possibly only action before her big title match against Nikki Roxx at BLACK TIDE! Well, that's all folks, and we hope you enjoyed this edition of THROWDOWN! Be sure to tune in next week!

OMG, you just continue to deliever NSL. It's like " I am doing ok. BAMMM!!!! next show you show goes from 5 stars to 10 stars. It just never gets old".

I'm glad I can keep writing good shows. It's a fact, that NSCW was dead in the water halfway through this show. I was having issues coming up with ideas for the Swagger v. Whipwreck match, and actually deleted the entire match, by accident, on 3 separate occasions. It pissed me off, and I was about to say I was done with it. But, I had a few days to come up with some really good ideas for the future, and got back to finishing this show as soon as I could.

Considering I have no job now, I should be able to put these on a little more regularly. I'll be mapping 6 today, and probably writing 5 over the weekend.

[NSL]

The crowd has piled into the NSCW Arena, awaiting a huge card, with one of the biggest main events in THROWDOWN history. The music begins for our dark match, and MsChif makes her way out first. She doesn't get much of a reaction, and there is a noticeable limp from the sharpshooter she received last week. She makes her way into the ring, and Natalya Neidhart steps through the curtain next as her music begins over the sound system. Nattie takes her time getting to the ring, and steps through the ropes, ready for the match to begin.

As the bell rings, MsChif and Nattie meet in the middle of the ring, and stand eye-to-eye with each other. MsChif has a slight height advantage, but Nattie is obviously more muscular. MsChif screams, and winds up for a slap, but Nattie connects with a right hook before she can connect. MsChif gets knocked backwards, onto her butt, and Nattie puts her the rest of the way down with a knee to her face. Nattie rests her shin across MsChif's throat, and lands 4 sharp punches to her forehead. MsChif winds up, and begins to knee Nattie in the side of the head, trying to break the choke. After the third one, Nattie gets up, drops the knee right back across MsChif's face. MsChif rolls over to her knees, and Nattie bounces off the ropes, and drops all of her weight across MsChif's back, driving her back to the mat, with Natalya sitting on her back. She quickly pulls her up, locking in a camel clutch with one arm, while using the other to push down on the back of her opponent's neck. MsChif screams out in pain, but Nattie breaks the hold before MsChif can give up. MsChif crawls out of the ring, desperate to get away from Nattie. She falls onto the concrete with a thud, and starts to crawl up the ramp. Nattie jumps out of the ring after her, letting out a maniacal laugh, before reaching under the ring, searching for a weapon. Her face turns cold though, as she pulls out a fire extinguisher! She turns towards MsChif, holding it in front of her with a look that scares most of the fans at ringside. She crouches in front of MsChif, stopping her progress up the ramp. She pulls the pin, and sprays a load of foam in her face, before picking it back up, and smashing it over her head, forcing her face into the steel ramp. She grabs MsChif's leg, dragging her back to the ring, with MsChif scratching, and clawing, trying to get away. When she gets to the side of the ring, she drops her leg, and gives her two hard kicks to the stomach, rolling her to her back. She pulls her up by her hair, and scoops her up in her arms. She rams her back into the ring post, before rolling her in under the bottom rope. Natalya flips her hair back off her face, showing that same twisted look that she's had since she laid eyes on the fire extinguisher. She takes her time making her way up the stairs, and steps through the ropes as MsChif is getting to her knees, clutching her back. Nattie quickly picks her up with a double underhook, and leans back against the ropes, torquing her opponent's back even further. MsChif is screaming in agony, and Nattie has started to let out that same maniacal laugh. She runs off the ropes, and hits an impressive Glam Slam, smashing MsChif into the mat. MsChif is barely moving, but before the can check on her, Natalya has an ankle lock on her! MsChif makes it to the ropes quickly, but it won't break the hold under extreme rules! The ref is reminding her, as Natalya is wrenching in the hold on MsChif's leg, who was already limping from the previous show. Natalya wrenches it in so far, MsChif is rolled over onto her stomach. Natalya quickly steps through, and locks on a sharpshooter! Before she's even sitting on MsChif's back, MsChif taps! She's given up, and Nattie wins!

THROWDOWN is on the air! Pyros explode up the ramp, setting off a display on the stage.

Money is played first, as Mr. 487 enters the arena, and makes his way to the announce table. There's a chorus of boos, and he seems to enjoy basking in it. He's not quite to his seat when "The One" Big Will steps through the curtain, and the crowd starts cheering. He takes a bow, thinking they're cheering for him, but then Will's music, Metalingus, starts, and his face turns red. He quickly sits down, almost missing his chair. Will follows shortly behind him, and both men turn to the camera.

Last week, Will, we got to see Kozlov and Umaga, Swaggah, Franchise, and Kane all pick up impressive wins, here on THROWDOWN. I can only imagine what we're in for this week.

They all picked up wins, but I don't know how impressive Swagger's, or Douglas' were. I think the most impressive win of the night, may have come from our Barbwire Bitches Fatal Fourway, with Natalya making both Cheerleader Melissa, and MsChif, tap out to the sharpshooter, at the same time! we also saw Rey Mysterio return to his winning ways, defeating Bam Bam Bigelow in the main event. And, who can forget DDP picking up the quick win over Big Bossman, after Zachary restarted the match?

DDP getting that win was a travesty. The ref called off the match, and NSCW's commissioner abused his power, and restarted that match. Big Bossman could've been put in a lot of danger.
Look at what DDP did to Piper!

The biggest event of the night, may have been Twin Method announcing that they're cashing in their title shot at BLACK TIDE! And, what about the announcement made by Chris Benoit, when he made a tag team match for this week, pitting himself, and AJ Styles, against the two main henchmen of Mark E., Jack Swagger, and Shane Douglas? That will be our main event tonight, and that's the reason the crowd has packed into this building tonight.

Benoit may have made that match, but we all know that Swaggah and Douglas will find a way to win, against insurmountable circumstances. We'll also see the in-ring debut of Vanessa Kraven tonight, as well as the huge cage match, where Bam Bam Bigelow will defeat Evan Bourne, ending their feud, once, and for all!

I'm not so sure about Bam Bam Bigelow defeating Bourne, but we will see that match. Before we get to that point, let's go to the ring, where The Pip is standing by for introductions.

The sound system erupts, and the crowd gives a small pop, as Sarah Stock makes her way down the ramp.

Making her way to the ring, standing at five feet, six inches tall...Sarah...Stock!

She makes her way into the ring, and poses on the turnbuckle for the fans. Before she hops down, the music changes over, and any sign of a smile is wiped from her face.

Ladies and gentlemen...Making her in-ring debut on THROWDOWN...She weighs in at 190 pounds, and stands at six feet tall...She is the powerhouse...Vanessa Kraven!

She steps through the curtain, and the crowd falls into a hush. She makes a long, slow walk to the ring, locking eyes with Sarah the entire way. She grabs the middle rope, and steps up to the apron, as Sarah backs herself into the opposite corner. She steps through the middle rope, and starts her way towards her opponent, but the ref is able to cut her off.

As Vanessa stands in her own corner, the ref calls for the bell. Sarah makes a slow walk around the ropes, as Vanessa stands still, daring her to make a move. Sarah gets within a few steps, but doesn't dare get any closer. She throws a kick, but misses, and takes a step back. Vanessa gets in a fighting stance, and Sarah throws another kick. Vanessa catches her foot, and smiles, almost daring her to try something. Sarah attempts an enziguiri, but Vanessa just lets go of her foot, and she collapses to the canvas. She makes the smart move, rolling to the outside, and circling towards the announce table. She grabs a chair from ringside, and slides back in under the ropes.

That may have been an excellent plan, but it failed in the fact that Vanessa was standing there waiting for her. If Sarah doesn't come up with something soon, this could get very ugly.

Before Sarah can get off her stomach, Vanessa stomps on the back of her head, forcing it down into the chair. Sarah rolls right back to the outside, where Vanessa tosses the chair at her, catching her in the skull. Sarah falls to the concrete, holding her head. Vanessa climbs through the ropes, and jumps off the apron, before picking up the chair. She waits for Sarah to get to her knees, and then smashes the chair across her skull one more time, almost bending it inside out. Sarah is face down on the floor, blood trickling down her neck, peeking out from under her hair. Vanessa grabs her hair, and pulls her to her feet, before landing 2 hard fists, and then a clothesline, dropping her to the floor, sitting against the stairs. Vanessa then gpes under the ring, where she finds a garbage pail, filled with weapons! She dumps it out on the floor, revealing it's contents. There's a kendo stick, pizza cutter, fork, yield sign, picnic basket, and a VCR. She ponders over her choices, before placing the garbage pail over Sarah's head, and then propping up the yield sign between her legs, and over her face. She grabs the kendo stick, and the camera shows Will and Mr. 487 looking on in stunned silence. She lines up her shot, and then smashes the kendo stick into the sign, crashing in the front of the garbage pail. The yield sign is bent in half, and falls forward, off of Sarah. Blood can be seen trickling down her stomach. Vanessa tosses aside the broken kendo stick, and then removes the garbage pail from Sarah's head.

Oh my...Do you see that Will? Sarah's nose and mouth are dripping with blood, and she's not moving.

I...I...I have no idea what to say. Vanessa is just tearing Sarah apart. The ref really needs to step in, and make sure Sarah is OK. Maybe even get the paramedics out here.

Vanessa lifts Sarah, tossing her over her shoulder, before walking up the steps, and into the ring. She turns and leans Sarah against the turnbuckle. She lands one stiff chop to Sarah's chest, and you can see the blood splatter under her hand. She picks her up by the throat with both hands, turns, and plants her on the mat with a Chokebomb! She goes for the cover, and unnecessarily hooks the leg, getting an easy three count for the victory.

Her music begins, as the camera slowly turns to the announce table, where Will and Mr. 487 are still shocked.

If what we saw tonight, is anything like what we can expect at BLACK TIDE, Nikki Roxx is in huge trouble. I can only hope that she has a plan.

Usually, I'd disagree, and say that I can't wait, but I'm in fear for Nikki's life here.

Vanessa is still celebrating in the ring as THROWDOWN heads to a commercial break.

As we return, the camera is on Erin, and Vanessa cna be heard screaming at her.

Get your ass in this ring little girl! Don't make me go out there. Grab your mic, and get in this ring, now!

Erin hesitantly makes her way up the steps, and stops on the apron. Vanessa steps back towards the center of the ring, and motions for Erin to get in the ring. Erin, trembling, slowly climbs through the bottom rope, and makes her way towards Vanessa. erin very slowly lifts the mic, and Vanessa grabs it, pulling it up higher, so she can speak.

Did you see this Nikki? This is just a taste of what's in store for you at BLACK TIDE. I'm going to drag you all over this arena, and then I'm going to take your title. I don't care if you tap out, if I pin you, or if I get the gold because you bleed out. I'm going to win, and you won't stop me.

Vanessa tosses the mic aside, almost knocking Erin off her feet. She steps out of the ring, and makes her way up the ramp, leaving Erin in the ring with Sarah, who still hasn't moved. Erin checks on her, and helps her out of the ring, before she heads to the back with the help of some ring attendants.

I'm glad to see that Sarah is OK. Vanessa Kraven is a beast. What she did to Sarah was reprehensible, and could've been stopped before it got that far. But to yell at an interviewer, and threaten her, especially after she just had a baby, is just wrong. It's uncalled for.

I can't help but agree. Nikki better watch out for herself, or BLACK TIDE could be the end of her title reign.

Jerry Lynn and Tajiri make their way through the curtain as their music starts, and the crowd cheers them loudly. They both get to the ring quickly, and head to their corner, waiting for their opponents. Destroy Everything begins, as Hatebreed makes their way down the ramp. They hop through the ropes, Mark E. in tow. Lynn and Tajiri don't back down, and the ref helps ease a tense face-off by getting Mark E. out of the ring. Tajiri is going to start for his team, and Justin Credible will start for Hatebreed.

Credible and Tajiri lock up as the bell rings, but Tajiri doesn't stand a chance as Credible shoves him back in to the corner. Tajiri rolls backwards, and is on a knee in his corner, as Justin points, and laughs, along with Christian. Tajiri charges at him, sticks a foot on his knee, and springboards himself up to deliver a kick to the side of Justin's head, knocking him to the mat. Tajiri grabs his near arm, and locks in a wristlock. Justin Credible gets to his feet, bent over, as Tajiri twists in the wristlock. Justin lands a sharp right to Tajiri's ribs, but it doesn't break the hold. Tajiri forces his arm behind his back, turning the wristlock into a hammerlock. Credible reaches for the ropes, but Tajiri has him too far away. Credible starts to back him into the corner nearest Christian. Christian greets Tajiri with a forearm to the upper back, forcing the break. Credible backs him against the turnbuckle, and tags in Christian, who grabs Tajiri, and leaps over the rope, landing a neckbreaker on his opponent. Tajiri struggles to his knees, as Christian makes the quick tag out. Justin immediately locks on a side headlock, and wrenches it in as Tajiri gets to his feet. Tajiri tries to pick up his opponent, but he can't lift him as the headlock starts to wear him down. Tajiri lands a punch to Justin's kidneys, but it doesn't have much of an effect. Credible tags Christian back in, and holds the headlock long enough for Christian to land a kick to Tajiri's ribs. Tajiri falls down to his knees, and tries to crawl towards his corner. Christian puts a foot on his backside, and shoves him down to the mat. Tajiri stays down long enough for Christian to put a knee on his back, and pull his head up, stretching his neck. The whole time he has the move locked in, he taunts Jerry Lynn, who is itching for a tag. Tajiri is reaching for him, but is just too far from his corner. Christian eventually breaks the hold, rolls Tajiri over, and goes for the cover. Tajiri is able to roll the shoulder at 2, and Christian tags in his partner. Justin climbs to the top rope, and comes off with an elbow to Tajiri's back, and then locks in another side headlock. Tajiri is able to get to his knees, but is too worn down to get to his feet. Justin tightens the hold, and the crowd starts to get behind Tajiri, almost willing him to his feet. Tajiri finally leans back against the ropes, shoving off his opponent. As Justin turns against the ropes, Christian's foot meet's Tajiri's back, sending him to the mat before he can capitalize. Justin Credible makes the tag, and Christian comes in over the top rope with a leg drop. Tajiri slides backwards out of the ring, where Mark E. and Justin Credible are waiting for him. Jerry Lynn goes to help his partner, but the ref gets to the outside to stop him. Tajiri is being stomped on, kicked, and punched on the outside, and Christian is on the inside, taunting Lynn, keeping the referee occupied. Tajiri is eventually dumped into the ring, where Christian goes for a cover. The ref slides back in the ring, as Lynn hops on the apron. Christian gets a slow 2, and then yells at the ref for not counting faster.

Tajiri desperately needs to make a tag. He's getting beaten down by his opponents here, and they're not even fighting fair.

It doesn't matter whether or not Tajiri makes the tag. Hatebreed is fighting smart, and keeping him in their corner, as well as making quick tags. Their effectively using wear down moves, and Tajiri has been no match for it so far.

Back in the ring, Christian uses a blatant choke on Tajiri, breaking the hold before the ref gets to his 5 count. Christian stands up to yell at the ref, and they're nose-to-nose with each other. Tajiri takes the opportunity to start crawling across the ring slowly. He's a foot or so, away from Jerry Lynn, before Christian gets a hold of his leg. Tajiri is hopping on one foot, trying to get away, but Christian won't let go. Tajiri balances himself, and then hops once more, ducks his head, and shoulders, and rolls forward, tossing Christian into the turnbuckle, allowing Tajiri to make the tag. Lynn jumps in over the top rope, and begins smashing Christian's face into the turnbuckle. Justin Credible gets in the ring to make the save, and dropkicks Jerry Lynn. Lynn falls against Christian, who turns around, and shoves him into his partner, who catches him with a DDT. The ref is trying to break up the mayhem, and Tajiri is down on the apron. Justin Credible, and Christian, are both pounding on Jerry Lynn, who went down hard with the DDT, and is barely able to cover up in defense. Mark E., on the outside, has rolled Tajiri to the floor, and is giving him kick after kick in the ribs. The ref finally calls for the bell!

Your winners, as a result of a disqualification...Tajiri, and Jerry Lynn!

Refs come from the back, to break up the fight, as Lynn and Tajiri's music starts. The crowd boos Hatebreed as they make their way up the ramp. Jerry Lynn, and Tajiri, are both slow to their feet, but make the long walk up the ramp to cheers from the crowd.

Go ahead, Mr. 487, find a way to explain away that blatant rule-breaking, by Mark E., and his compatriots.

They didn't do anything wrong. Justin Credible saw his teammate in trouble, and came in the ring to make the save. Then, Jerry Lynn charged at him, so he had to defend himself. From there, Christian was going to defend his partner. And, who knows what Tajiri would've done, so Mark E. made sure he didn't get involved.

And to think, you wonder why you're show failed. Mark E. and Justin Credible panicked, and saw the win slipping away, so they resorted to cheating to try and win, and this time, it backfired. Good job by the ref, making sure this didn't get any worse.

You saw po-tay-to, I saw po-tah-to. What matters in the long run, I guess, is that Tajiri and Jerry Lynn got the win. Let's just go back to the ring, and watch our next match.

Diamond Dallas Page steps through the curtain as the crowd pops to Self High Five. He takes his time getting to the ring, with tons of fans along the aisle cheering for him, and trying to touch him. He finally gets to the ring, and he's barely through the ropes as the music changes, marking the entrance of Goldust to the NSCW Arena. Goldust also takes his time getting to the ring, but to a much different reaction from the crowd. He's getting booed, and he's trying to kiss random fans along the entrance ramp, as well as making sure to "adjust" himself about 20 times. He finally makes it to the ring, and steps through the ropes, where there's a golden spotlight hovering over him as he removes his robe, and blows a kiss at DDP.

DDP ignores the advance, and the bell rings, starting the match. DDP goes for a lock up, while Goldust goes for a hug. DDP takes a quick step back, and Goldust goes after him, giving him a hug, and then a kiss on the cheek, before using a belly-to-belly suplex to throw DDP back, and over his head. Page is right to his feet, and shoulder blocks Goldust all the way into the corner. He delivers two more shots, and goes for a third, but Goldust is able to get his knees up, blocking the move, and sending DDP to the mat. Goldust puts his feet down on DDP's back, and then walks down the length of his body, before jumping on his butt, and then off to the side of him. DDP makes the smart move, rolling out of the ring, to collect himself. Goldust gives chase, catching up to him near the steps. The ref jumps out after them, telling them both to take it back in the ring. His count is at 4, when DDP attempts to toss Goldust in the ring. Goldust puts his foot up to block it, and slams his opponent's face off the apron. He rolls back in the ring, at the ref's count of 7, with DDP on the floor. The ref is at 9, when DDP gets to his feet, and Goldust breaks the count by using a baseball slide to knock DDP into the guardrail. He gets himself up, and steps through the ropes, standing on the apron. DDP is up, but leaning on the guardrail to stay that way. Goldust sets up the bionic elbow, and leaps off the apron. DDP ducks, and Goldust lands with his arm bent over the top of the guardrail. He shifts his weight, and falls backwards to the concrete. DDP rolls into the ring, and the ref starts a fresh count. At 6, Goldust is on his knees, and he pulls himself into the ring at 8. Page lets him get to his feet, before whipping him across the ring. Goldust comes back, and is met with a clothesline that takes him down to the mat. Goldust lands on his side, allowing DDP to kneel behind him, put a knee in his back, and torque it, by pulling back on his legs, and neck. Goldust is able to get his bottom leg free, and start to spin himself out of the hold. DDP is forced to let go of his legs, but has a hold of his neck, and puts him in a front face lock. Goldust is able to force him into the ropes, and the referee calls for a clean break. DDP breaks the hold, and then gets a thumb to his eyes for his troubles. The ref admonishes Goldust, who just takes DDP, and whips him to the far ropes. DDP springs off the ropes, and conencts with a diving elbow! Goldust is taken down to the mat, and is holding his chin. Page lands face down, and the ref has to use his count again. He's at 5 before DDP is on his knees, and he rolls Goldust over for the pinfall attempt. At 2, Goldust rolls the shoulder, and gets out of the ring, for a breather. DDP gives chase this time, and is met with a hard throat thrust that knocks him into the ring apron. Goldust quickly grabs his arm, and whips him into the guardrail, before diving back in the ring. The ref starts his count, and is at 3 when Goldust goes to leave the ring. The ref turns to stop him, and keep him in the ring, when Bossman and Piper come through the crowd, and pummel on DDP!

What the hell?! Don't tell me you can't see that Mr. 487! Bossman and Piper are sneak attacking DDP. They've done it before, and they're doing it now.

I see it, but I don't see the problem with it. After what DDP did to Bossman last week, with the help of Zachary, he should've grown eyes on the back of his head, to see things like this coming.

The ref has finally pushed Goldust back to the opposite corner, before turning around and continuing his count. At this point, DDP is laying on the concrete and is barely conscious. The ref is at 8, and Goldust is already celebrating his victory. At 10, his music starts, and he celebrates like he just won the Super Bowl.

I hope Piper and Bossman are happy with what they have done. They may have gotten the better of DDP this time, but there's nowhere to run at BLACK TIDE, where Big Bossman will be going one-on-one with Diamond Dallas Page.

They won't have any reason to run. DDP isn't half the wrestler Bossman is, and we'll see that for sure at BLACK TIDE. This was just a taste of what Page should expect.

Will is seen shaking his head in amazement as the cameras fade to commercial.

As we return from the break, the arena is pitch black, except for the dim light of the TitanTron. It comes to life, with Princess Bex sitting bedside, next to British Bulldog, who is wearing a wrap on his head, and is apparently sleeping. Princess Bex is wearing a white nurse's outfit, and her crown has a red cross sticker on it. The crowd cheers their appearance.

Apparently, we're going to find out what they have to say to Kane's attack, and challenge for the TV Title!

Kane. C.C.S. Listen up. I'm accepting your challenge, on behalf of my man, Davey Boy. Your sneak attack was cruel, and completely unjustified. British Bulldog, and yourself, will have a match for the NSCW Television Title at BLACK TIDE. But, under out stipulations. You brought this on yourself. The match will be a Three Stages Of Hell match!

The crowd explodes, as Princess Bex pauses to let what she said sink in.

Now, for the stipulations. The first match, will be a Tables Match. Followed by a Dog Collar Match. If you're still standing after that, the finale will be a Ladder Match, ultimately deciding the winner. This little childish feud the two of you have, will end there. I refuse to let it go any further.

As the camera turns away, and fades to black, Princess Bex can be seen wiping the sweat away from Bulldog's eyes.

The camera turns to the announce table, but before anything can be said, the TitanTron comes back to life, with Jammy standing by with Rob Van Dam.

This is bulls**t! Kane attacks me, and he gets the title shot at BLACK TIDE?! I was one second away from winning! You know that?! I should be wearing the NSCW Television Title around my waist, and Kane stole it from me. Who does he think he is?! And, what about Princess Bex? She should've known better, and declined that challenge, and given the title shot to the real number one contender, The Whole F**king Show, Rob...Van...Dam! I'm going to go down to Zachary's office...

Before he can finish, Eric Young appears, trying to calm down RVD. Jammy looks extremely confused, and just stands out of the way, holding up the microphone.

Hey! Hey! RVD...Calm down. I got a proposal. I know, that you should be wearing gold around your waist. I respect that. But, what's done, is done, as far as Kane, and Bulldog, are concerned. However, the match that we had, was one of the best of my career. I earned a whole new respect for you. Why don't you and I, have a match at BLACK TIDE, and give the fans a show. Give them something that will steal the show. Who knows. If Princess Bex is right, and that whole mess ends there, our match may go a long way to determining who faces Bulldog next. What do you say? Do we have a match?

He has a point Rob. You had a hell of a match against Kane, but your match with Eric, may have been the best NSCW has put forth. Are you going to accept the challenge, and face Eric Young at BLACK TIDE?

Steal the show, huh?

That's right. You, and I, steal the show. We go out there, and do what we do best.

Fine. You got yourself a match. It only seems fitting that The Whole F**king show steals the show at NSCW inaugural pay-per-view.

Eric Young smiles, and extends his hand. RVD shakes it, and both men go their separate ways.

Did you hear that Mr. 487? We just learned that we're going to have a Three Stages Of Hell Match at BLACK TIDE, for the NSCW Television Title! Kane, and Davey Boy, have been beating the hell out of each other, and it's finally reached a boiling point. I personally cannot wait for this match.

Kane has to be licking his chops at getting a title shot. He was close twice. Will the third time be the charm? And, what about Rob Van Dam, accepting Eric Young's challenge? That match was good 3 weeks ago, when we saw it first, and I'm sure it will do exactly what they want, and steal the show!

Before anything else can be said, the camera turns to the back, and Kane immediately bursts through the door to Zachary's office.

Oh my...What is it? What do you want? You got your title match at BLACK TIDE, didn't you? Princess Bex stated the stipulations. What problem can you possibly have with this match?

Oh, we don't have a problem with our challenge being accepted. We won't have a problem going to BLACK TIDE, and taking the belt from Bulldog's waist, and walking out as champion. What we do have a problem with, is that Princess Bex thinks she can just state stipulations. Kane wants an Inferno Match. He wants to take Bulldog's title, and lead him straight to the depths of hell!

I have a better idea.

No! No ideas! You make this an Inferno Match, or you don't have any match. we'll just march ourselves to Bulldog's little palace out in Leeds, and take care of business our way!

Shut up! I'm the boss around here, and you'll listen to me. Here's my idea. You put together your own Three Stage Of Hell Match. And, we'll leave it up to a fan vote. They can decide to go with Bulldog's idea, or they can vote for your's. So, do you have any ideas, or are we done here?

C.C.S. and Kane turn away from Zachary, and discuss some ideas. They turn back around, and Kane has a sadistic smile on his face.

Here's what we have in mind. First, Kane is going to beat Davey around the arena in a Falls Count Anywhere Match. Then, he's going to drag him back to the ring, and make him tap. If, by some insane reason, Bulldog is still standing, we'll finish this off with an Inferno Match. How does that sound?

So, Falls Count Anywhere, Submission, and then Inferno? You got it. It's a deal. After this show is finished, we'll post the poll on NSCW.wz, and get the fan's reaction. The winner will be revealed before the match begins at BLACK TIDE.

Kane and C.C.S. turn, and leave, leaving Zachary standing at his desk, staring at the busted door. He takes a seat, and pulls up the website, preparing to start the poll.

Just when you think it can't get any better, it does! We're going to have a fan vote, determining which Three Stages Of Hell Match we're going to have at BLACK TIDE for the Television Title! I can't wait to see what wins! I just know it's going to be Kane's choice.

This match, very easily, could end up being the match of the night. We've seen these competitors push each other to their limits twice before, and we'll see it one last time at BLACK TIDE.

A short video package is played on the screen, replaying everything that has transpired surrounding the NSCW TV Title as the show heads to commercial.

 

[NSL]

The One Big Will, and Mr. 487, welcome us back from the break. After recapping the last match, the camera cuts to the back, where Jammy is standing by with Mark E., Shane Douglas, and Jack Swagger.

So, guys, is there anything you have to say about the match tonight? Do you have anything hidden up your sleeve, to try and overcome AJ Styles, and Chris Benoit?

What are you implying? That we have to cheat to win? What a joke! Swagger and Franchise are going to go out there, and show those two little punks what wrestling is all about.

They turn to leave, but Jammy makes an observation, and catches their attention.

What? What is it?

You say there's nothing up your sleeve, but I realize that your other lackeys, Mark E., aren't going to the ring with you.

They had a hard fought match earlier tonight. Why would they be accompanying us to the ring? We are going to the ring now, and we are going to show Benoit and Styles what wrestling is about.

It is now time for our main event! Entering first, weighing in at a combined five hundred, twelve pounds, and being led to the ring, by their manager, Mark E., they are "The All-American American" Jack Swagger, and "The Franchise" Shane Douglas!

Mark E. leads his men down to the ring, and climbs in first, holding open the ropes for them. Franchise, and Swagger, get in the ring, and pose for the crowd, before taunting some people at ringside holding signs that say "Cheat" and "Cowards".

Weighing in at a combined four hundred, thirty five pounds, their opponents, Chris Benoit and AJ Styles!

AJ and Chris step through the curtain, and the crowd goes insane. They start chanting their names, and cheering for them, all the way to the ring. As they get to the bottom of the ramp, they charge the ring, sliding in under the bottom rope.

Before they can get up, Shane and Jack are on them, delivering punches and forearms until Benoit and Styles are forced to retreat from the ring. Mark E. goes out and cuts off Benoit and Styles, who give chase to him. as they round the second corner of the ring, their opponents are there to sneak attack them with a double clothesline. Shane and Swagger get on top of their opponents, and continue the beating, as Mark E. goes to retrieve two chairs. He comes back, and hands them to his wrestlers, who get up and stand over Benoit and Styles. as they lift the chairs, and prepare to swing them, Styles nips up, slamming his feet into Swagger's gut, knocking him backwards, and making him drop the chair. Franchise is stunned, and this gives Benoit a chance to land a low blow, knocking the chair from his hand. Benoit rolls Douglas in to the ring, as Styles sits over Swagger, hammering him with fists. Benoit starts to stomp on Douglas, as Douglas attempts to get to his feet. Once Douglas is on all fours, Benoit grabs his arm, and applies a crippler crossface! On the outside, Mark E. has picked up the chair that Douglas dropped, and slams it across AJ Styles' back! AJ falls to the concrete, allowing Swagger to get up, and grab the chair he originally dropped.

What is going on here? we were supposed to have our main event, and Mark E.'s low-balling schemes have dissolved this to a back alley brawl!

Hey, they said they were going to show them the meaning of wrestling. They said nothing about doing it in the ring, or as part of a real match.

Don't make me hurt you again. You know this is wrong, and little more than a beat-down by a group of cowards, who knew they couldn't win a legit wrestling match.

In the ring, Benoit still has Douglas in the crossface, but Douglas appears to have already passed out, as he isn't fighting the move anymore. On the outside, Mark E. has set up a table, as Swagger sets up AJ Styles for a gutwrench powerbomb. As he picks him up, Gunnz and Mikey Whipwreck run down the ramp, and Gunnz chop blocks the back of Swagger's knee, collapsing him, and sending AJ to the floor. Mark E. dives back in the ring, and Benoit releases the hold on Douglas, to cut him off. Mikey follows Mark E. into the ring, and Mark E. has no where to go.

With Douglas out on the mat, and Swagger on the floor on the outside, Mark E. has nowhere to go. He's at the mercy of Benoit and Mikey now.

Now, this...This is wrong. Mark E. is not a trained wrestler, and Benoit and Mikey should not put their hands on him.

If Mark E. was afraid of getting hurt, he should never have involved himself in any of the matches, and he sure as heck should not have involved himself in this match. He's going to get everything that's coming to him, and I can't wait for it.

Mark E. follows to his knees, begging off Mikey and Benoit. Mikey grabs his arms, pulling them back, telling Benoit to go for the punch. As Chris Benoit winds up, the TitanTron comes to life, and Whipwreck lets Mark E. fall to the mat.

Boys...boys...boys. Enough of this. I let this tag match happen, because we all knew that Mark E. deserved to be shut up. I don't like any of his tactics, more than you do. I figured a match between Chris Benoit and AJ, against Jack Swagger, and Shane Douglas, would end it. Apparently, I was wrong. Being wrong, makes me look bad. I'm going to settle this right now. Next week, we will see Chris Benoit, AJ Styles, and Mikey Whipwreck in action, in a tag match, against none other than Shane Douglas, and Jack Swagger.

No! No! You can't do that! Why would you put them in a handicapped match? That's no fair! That completely goes against your point!

If you would have let me finish, my point would have been made. Jack Swagger, and Shane Douglas will have a partner.

Mark E. gets a big grin on his face, as Benoit and Mikey look puzzled.

Their tag team partner, in this six man tag match, is none other than Mark E.!

The crowd goes crazy, cheering for next week's main event, as Mark E. begins to sob again. Chris Benoit, and mikey Whipwreck, both double over with laughter.

I'm not finished. At BLACK TIDE, we'll have two more matches added to the card. First, we'll see Mikey Whipwreck, one-on-one, with Jack Swagger. Swagger's matches with Whipwreck have all been tarnished by outside interference, so Gunnz will get his wish. Mark E. will be banned from ringside! Second, in a good old fashioned three way dance, we'll see AJ Styles, Chris Benoit, and Shane Douglas! I'm finished. Good luck at BLACK TIDE, Mark E.

Benoit, Mikey, and Gunnz all leave the ring, and help up AJ, before heading to the back. Mark E. is still weeping in the ring, where Douglas is still out on the mat. Swagger is moving on the outside, but isn't getting up.

The camera cuts to the announce table, where Mr. 487 is sitting in stunned silence, as Will has a huge ear-to-ear grin.

I don't know about you, but I can't wait for next week. BLACK TIDE is shaping up to have a pretty big card as well. Should be a great week and a half for us, huh?

I understand Matthew is the owner of NSCW, but what is he thinking, putting Mark E. in the ring next week? I pray he comes out of that OK.

Tonight was a huge night, in the history of NSCW. We heard from both Bulldog, and Kane, announcing a huge Three Stages Of Hell Match at BLACK TIDE, for the NSCW Television Title!

Don't forget to go to NSCW.wz, and vote for which wrestler's selection you'd like to see them compete in. There's Bulldog's crappy choice, of Tables-Dog Collar-Ladder, and Kane's excellent choice of Falls Count Anywhere-Submission-Inferno. Go vote! It'll be up as soon as we go off the air!

We also saw a match get made, featuring Rob Van Dam, taking on Eric Young! Should be a real show stealer!As far as tonight, we saw the bloody cage match, where we saw Evan Bourne, end his feud with Bam Bam Bigelow, by being punched from the top of the cage, and landing on the crowd, where he crowd surfed to victory!

We also got to see Goldust, pick up the epic count-out victory over Diamond Dallas Page! Don't forget that! Next week, we'll get to see DDP, taking on Bossman, in mixed tag action, with partners that are yet to be named.

Epic count-out win? How about, Bossman and Piper interfered, and stole the win for him? At least next week, we get to see the huge six-man tag match! I can't wait! That's it for us tonight fans, but please don't forget to go vote!

I apologize for this being 3 posts, but due to all the speaking parts, the characters went over 80K, so I had to do 3 parts.

 

[NSL]

Jamie Noble and Dean Malenko are waiting in the ring, as THROWDOWN returns from commercial. They're music comes to a stop, and Twin Method's Fake starts to play over the speakers, signaling the arrival of the number one contenders for the tag team titles, Twin Method. The crowd gives a loud pop for them, as they run through the curtain, and make a beeline to the ring. They dive in, under the ropes, simultaneously, and pop up in front of their opponents. They remove their vests, and get to their corner, awaiting the start of the match.

The bell rings, and CM Punk, and Jamie Noble, step out of the ring. Dean and Hurricane lock up right away, testing their strength against each other. Dean is able to overpower Helms, and forces him down to his knees. He sticks a boot into his chest, and pushes him backwards, until he's holding him down with his boot, while still wrenching his arms. The shoulders go down, and the ref gets a 1 count, before Helms is able to lift his shoulders. Dean stomps him back down, and releases the hold. Dean uses a standing senton splash to keep Helms down, and then locks on an inverted facelock, while still laying down on across Helms' chest. Helms is able to get his arm in front of Malenko's throat, and pull him backwards, getting his shoulders to the mat. The ref counts, and is at 1, before Malenko breaks his hold, and rolls out of the pin. Before Helms can get to his feet, Malenko delivers two kicks to his side, and then grabs him up by his arm, and whips him into the corner near Jamie Noble. He tags in his partner, and delivers a shoulderblock to Helms, keeping him in place, while Noble steps in and delivers a chop. Malenko leaves the ring, as Noble delivers 4 more sharp chops to Helms' chest. Helms drops to his knees, clutching his chest. Noble applies a rear chinlock, and Helms instantly tries to get to his feet, to get away from the hold. Noble wrenches it in, but Helms is too tall for him, so he can't lock it in fully. Hurricane is able to twist sideways, and break the hold after some elbows to Jamie's ribs. He whips Noble across the ring, into the corner near CM Punk. Helms applies a wristlock, and then tags in Punk, who delivers a double axe handle to the back of Noble's arm, before applying the same wristlock. Noble is forced down to his knees, where Punk hits him with 2 stiff kicks to his chest, while holding in the wristlock.

What CM Punk has done, since entering this match, is torque that arm, and by landing the blow on his back, and the kicks to the chest, he's driving the wind from his opponent, and pulling on all the muscles in the upper body.

Noble tries to roll out of the move, but Punk won't let go. He does, however, give Jamie two hard kicks to his back, which sends Noble face-first to the mat. Punk climbs on his back, turning the wristlock into a hammerlock, and then hammering Noble's back with 3 hard forearms, before helping him to his feet. He releases the hold, and as Noble shakes the feeling back into his fingers, Punk uses a standing dropkick to send him back down. He tags Helms back in, who immediately runs across the ring, and rebounds off the ropes with a diving clothesline on Noble, who had gotten to his knees. Hurricane goes for the quick cover, and gets a two before Noble kicks out, and rolls towards the ropes. Helms starts to show some frustration, and the delay allows Noble to make the tag to Malenko. Malenko hurries through the ropes, and lands a European uppercut on the kneeling Helms. Helms falls backwards, and Malenko grabs his legs, and starts to roll him over for a Boston crab. Helms fights it, and blocks the full crab, but Malenko is able to lock on a half crab. Any time Helms tries to lift Malenko, Dean drops his weight on the back of Helms thigh. Hurricane is face down on the mat, grabbing at his leg. He tries one more time to reach for the ropes, and Malenko drags him back to the middle of the ring. The ref checks Helms for a submission, but he won't give up. He pushes up one more time, except this time, when Melanko goes to drop his weight, he drops himself to the mat, making his opponent lose his balance, and fall off of him. Malenko is sitting, holding his lower back, while Helms is slowly crawling to his corner, grabbing his leg the whole way. Malenko is up, and grabs his good leg, stopping him a foot, or two, short of his partner. Helms gets up on his bad leg, and delivers a quick mule kick, getting Malenko off his foot, and then makes the tag to CM Punk. Noble tags himself in, and meets with Punk in the middle of the ring, exchanging blow after blow, with neither man getting an edge. Finally, Punk is able to land a hard kick to the side of Noble's thigh, knocking him to the mat, clutching his knee. Punk delivers a double leg drop, and then goes for the pin, getting only a 2 count before Noble rolls the shoulder. Punk helps him to his feet, and whips him into the ropes, before giving him a back body drop over the top rope to the outside. Punk waits in the corner, as the ref counts. At 6, Noble is able to get to his feet, and walks around the side of the ring before crawling in under the ropes. Before he can get to his feet, Punk grabs his arm, and locks on the Anaconda Vice!

Most people would panic right now. Noble's arm, and upper body were worked on earlier, but he's a smart man. He'll find a way out of this.

I think you're giving him too much credit. He's a fine wrestler, but not just anyone can get out of this hold.

Noble is screaming in pain, and the ref keeps checking for the submission. Noble starts to fade, and Malenko gets in the ring, stomping on Punk to break the hold. Punk does, and Malenko is leaning over him, delivering punches to his head, and chest. Noble is rolling away, holding his arms in front of his chest. The ref is trying to get Malenko off of Punk, and is at 4 in his count, when Helms comes from nowhere, and connects with a shining wizard to the side of Malenko's head, knocking him off of Punk, and clear out of the ring! The ref goes to get Helms out of the ring, but he's already heading back to his corner, as Noble and Punk get to their feet. Noble swings at Punk wildly, and misses, and Punk catches him, and sets him up for the GTS! Punk connects, and Noble flips back to the mat. Punk goes for the cover, and gets the 1...2...3 for the victory! Fake plays through the arena again, as the crowd cheers for the number one contenders to the tag titles.

What a wild finish! Malenko had no choice but to break the hold, but he made a rare mistake, and didn't account for Helms, who broke up the assault, and evened the odds for Twin Method.

Hurricane is nothing but a cheater. He saw the match slipping from their grasp, and interfered, against the rules. They should've been disqualified. Is this the type of crap we can expect at BLACK TIDE? Maybe a more deserving tag team, like Hatebreed should get the title shot instead!

Twin Method deserves their title shot. They won the number one contenders' match, and they've done nothing wrong. Helms had to interfere to defend his partner.

Before Mr. 487 can respond, No Sleep 'Til Brooklyn hits the sound system, and Nunzio makes his way into the NSCW Arena. The crowd is booing, and it gets him visibly angry. He mounts a turnbuckle, and starts to yell at various fans in the crowd, and 619 cuts him off. Rey Mysterio comes through the curtain to a much different ovation, getting high fives and cheers all the way to the ring.

Rey barely has his shirt off, as the bell rings, and Nunzio charges at him, and goes for a double leg takedown. He starts to throw some haymakers, but Rey is covering up, and nothing is connecting. Rey is able to push him off, before rolling out of the ring to create some distance. Nunzio dives through the ropes with a suicide dive, and misses, without Rey even moving out of the way! Rey just shakes his head, and rolls Nunzio back in the ring, before climbing to the top turnbuckle. He splashes down on Nunzio, and goes for a pin, getting a 2, before Nunzio gets his foot on the ropes. Rey gets to his feet, and helps Nunzio up. He whips him into the ropes, and uses a crossbody to take him down. He then steps to the outside, and waits for Nunzio to get to his feet. As soon as Nunzio gets to his feet, he turns around, right into a west coast pop! Mysterio hooks the leg, and gets the simple 3 count for the win.

Go ahead. I'd love to hear this. Explain now, how Rey cheated, and Nunzio should've won.

OK. Well...um...Rey...He uh...You see, Nunzio...He...

Spit it out! What are you going to say?

I'm speechless. There's nothing to say to that. Let's just go to commercial.

A video package, explaining the history between Evan Bourne, and Bam Bam Bigelow, is shown as THROWDOWN goes to commercial.

The Pip welcomes us back from break, with the introductions for the next match, as a steel cage is lowered over the ring.

This next match, is a Steel Cage Match! Here in NSCW, you cannot win this match via pinfall, submission, or by exiting the cage door. To win, you must climb the cage, and land with both feet on the floor on the outside.

He waits a moment to let the crowd react, as they start to cheer, and the cage is secured into place. Bam Bam Bigelow is out first, to nothing but boos.

Hailing from Asbury Park, New Jersey...He stands at six feet, three inches tall, and weighs in today at thee hundred and seventy pounds. He's the "Beast From The East"...Bam Bam Bigelow!

As he finishes the introduction, Bam Bam is climbing through the cage door. He takes a minute to circle the ring, shaking the cage, and checking each corner. Once his music stops, his face turns serious, and he turns toward the entrance ramp.

His opponent tonight, weighing in at one hundred eighty three pounds, standing at five feet, nine inches tall...He is the master of the shooting star press...Evan Bourne!

Bourne flies through the curtain, and all the way down the ramp, seemingly floating above the floor. He leaps, catching the side of the cage, and starts to climb the side, as The Pip exits through the door, where the ref locks it behind him, and makes sure it stays shut with a chain.

Bam Bam is standing in the ring, looking up at Bourne, who has perched himself on top of the cage. The bell rings, and Bourne immediately flies off with a cross body, taking Bam Bam down to the mat, where he starts to unload lefts and rights, on him. Bam Bam is trying to cover up, but Bourne is just oo fast for him. Bourne finally stops, and climbs to the nearest turnbuckle, and flies off with a moonsault, landing on his downed opponent. He springs off the ropes, and lands another splash onto Bam Bam, before climbing to the middle turnbuckle, and goes for a diving elbow. Bam Bam rolls out of the way, and Bourne crashes to the mat. Both men are down, but Bourne is stirring. Bourne leans against the cage, and waits for Bam Bam to get to his knees. He uses a scissor kick to take Bam Bam down. Bam Bam starts to stand up, holding onto Bourne's ankle, wrapping his leg around the back of his neck, leaving him hanging in front of him. Bigelow then uses a Samoan drop-like maneuver to drive Bourne's knee into the mat, as well as his entire upper body. As he gets up, he grabs a hold of Bourne's right ankle, and then proceeds to ram his knee into the mat twice. Bam Bam then buries his own knee in the back of Bourne's, while applying an ankle lock. Bam Bam rises to his feet, and drops the knee one more time. Bourne lets out a yell, as Bam Bam finally releases the hold. Bam Bam grabs Evan by the back of his neck, and picks him up with one hand. He spins around, whipping Bourne across the ring, where he smashes into the steel face-first. He falls back in to the ring, where Bam Bam sits on is chest, facing his legs. From there he grabs Evan's leg, wraps his arm around it, and pulls it back towards his body, giving it full extension. Bourne tries to fight his way out, but to no avail.

This is smart wrestling by Bam Bam Bigelow. Bourne is quicker, and this is all an equalizer. It's also damn near impossible to climb the cage, on one leg.

This is smart wrestling, but he can't ever assume that Bourne is done for. He's been out for about a month now, getting himself ready for this showdown with Bam Bam, and I doubt he's going to stay on the mat, and let his opponent take his legs out from under him.

Evan Bourne is still under Bam Bam, getting his leg wrenched under the strength of Bam Bam. He tries pulling on the shirt, but has no success. He grabs the only thing that he can get his hands on, and that's Bam Bam's beard. He yanks on it, getting Bam Bam off of his chest, and forcing him to let go of his leg. Bigelow grabs his wrist, breaking the hold on his beard, and then stands up, and delivers a kick to Bourne's elbow, before dropping an elbow across his chest. He grabs him under his arm, and stands back up, dropping Bourne to the mat with a sidewalk slam. Bam Bam takes his time getting to his feet, as Bourne writhes on the mat, clutching his knee. As Bigelow gets to his feet, he springs off the ropes, and drops a headbutt to Bourne's thigh, and goes for a second one, connecting to the same leg. Bourne rolls away from Bam Bam, under the ropes, and leaning against the cage. Bam Bam reaches through the ropes, and starts to pull Bourne out, but Bourne hangs on to the rope with his left leg, and left arm. Bam Bam has a hold of his other arm, and other leg, and snaps Bourne off the rope, and releases him, letting him fall to the mat. Bam Bam climbs up to the middle ropes, and jumps off, splashing onto Bourne. He gets back to his feet, and then looks towards the cage. He makes a long, slow climb up the turnbuckle, before grabbing a hold of the cage. He has some trouble finding a footing, and this allows Bourne to get up in the ring, and limp to where he is on the corner. He grabs a hold of Bam Bam's leg, preventing him from climbing the cage. Bigelow is able to kick him off, but then loses his balance, falling between the ropes and the cage, with his leg caught between the ropes! Bourne is able to get back to his feet, and grab a hold of Bam Bam's foot, before falling to the mat, ripping Bam Bam's leg down with him, while it's still wrapped up in the ropes. As his leg snaps back, it comes out from between the ropes, and let's him fall to the mat.

I'm willing to bet anything, that Evan Bourne is able to climb the cage faster than Bam Bam Bigelow on one leg.

Mr. 487 has no response, as Bourne leans Bam Bam's leg through the bottom rope, before dropping all his wait across his shin. Bam Bam rolls back in under the ropes, and Bourne climbs to the middle rope, using the cage to balance himself, before using a Vaderbomb-like splash, landing across Bam Bam's chest. Bam Bam gets his arms under him, and pushes him up, and off, of him, and against the ropes. Bourne uses the ropes to get back to his feet, and is barely able to sidestep the rushing Bam Bam, who crashes into the turnbuckle, and falls backwards, into the ring. Bourne is having trouble keeping weight on his leg, and falls to the mat as well. Both men stay down for a few seconds, gripping their hurt legs. Bourne is up first, and Bam Bam is up behind him. Bourne grabs his arm, and goes for the Irish whip, but Bam Bam reverses, sending Bourne crashing into the cage again. This one brings a small trickle of blood to Evan's forehead, and sends him flying back to the mat. Bam Bam drops his good knee into the chest of his opponent, and then gets back to his feet, before scooping up Bourne, and setting him up in a tree of woe in the corner. He delivers a hard right hand to Evan's groin, before delivering kick after kick to the midsection, using the ropes for leverage. Bourne eventually falls back into the ring, and Bam Bam rolls him away from the ropes, before climbing them himself. He turns around, and lands a big diving headbutt on Evan Bourne! Bam Bam took the fall hard also, and both men are down again. After a few seconds, Bam Bam is to his knees, as he stands up, Bourne gets to his knees. He goes for a straight kick to Bourne, but Bourne ducks it, and delivers a low blow, sending the big man to the mat! Bourne gets to his feet, and then tries to climb the cage, but only has one good leg to push himself up with! This gives Bam Bam more than enough time to get up, and set up Bourne for an electric chair drop. Bourne crashes to the mat, and Bam Bam is right back up. He grabs Bourne up by his head, and throws him over his shoulder, before ramming his head into the cage. This brings some more blood to Bourne's face, as he falls off of Bigelow's shoulder, and back to the canvas. He gets to his knees, but Bam Bam is already climbing the cage. He grabs a hold of Bam Bam's good leg, and almost instantly, Bam Bam loses balance, and slides down the cage, scraping his face and hands all the way down to the mat. Blood is quickly pouring out from over his eyes, as well as from scrapes along his forehead. Bourne delivers a dropkick to his back, forcing him into the cage one more time. He rolls back into the ring, where Bourne is waiting to deliver a leg drop, followed by forearms to the head. Bam Bam is trying to cover up, but the blood is flowing freely, and he's losing the strength to fight off Bourne.

If Evan is smart, he'll use this adrenaline rush to get out of that cage, before he starts to feel that leg again, or worse, before Bam Bam gets to his feet.

If, Will. If. If, Evan was smart, he'd do that. But, he's obviously not. His rage has taken over, and he's pre-occupied with causing harm to Bam Bam Bigelow.

Bourne gets to his feet, and lands kicks to the side of Bam Bam's head, when in a fit of rage, Bam Bam gets to his feet, landing a pounding right fist to Bourne's head, knocking him straight down to the mat. He goes to the top rope, and connects with a moonsault of his own, squashing his opponent under him. He then climbs the cage, all the way to the top, before throwing one leg over, and sitting on the corner of the cage. He looks down at Bourne, who still isn't moving.

What did I tell you Will! Bourne isn't as smart as you were giving him credit, and it cost him dearly. Instead of climbing out of the cage when he had a chance, he's just lost this match.

Not so quick there. Bam Bam still hasn't climbed out of the cage. He's just sitting there, with a very sick look on his face.

Bam Bam grabs a hold of the cable that lowered the cage to the ring, and stands up on top of the cage, and then waits for it to stop shaking, and catches his balance. Bourne is still not moving on the mat, and Bam Bam just stands there, staring down at him. The crowd starts to boo, half-expecting what's next. Bam Bam lets go of the cable, holds his arms up, and falls into the cage, delivering a diving headbutt of the top of the cage.

Evan moved! Evan moved out of the way! Bam Bam has just fallen from the top of the cage, face first, and there's blood everywhere!

Bam Bam rolls to his back, clutching at his neck. Bourne is on his knees, and takes a moment to collect himself, before getting to his feet, and leaning on the ropes, looking down on his opponent. He looks to the top of the cage, and then back at Bam Bam, before climbing the turnbuckle, and springing himself to the top of the cage. He grabs a hold of the cable to balance himself, and then signals to the crowd, for the shooting star press! The moment he lets go of the cable, he flies off the cage, landing on top of Bam Bam Bigelow, as the crowd begins to cheer, and chant his name. He rolls off of Bam Bam, and both men lay on the mat, blood pouring from their faces. Bourne is sitting up, but Bam Bam has yet to move. Evan crawls to the ropes, dragging himself up, before limping to the corner. Bam Bam has gotten to his knees, but can't stand all the way up. He crawls to the corner, pulling on Bourne's leg, as he tries to get to the top rope. Bam Bam uses Evan's body to pull himself to his feet, and then climbs to the middle rope, right behind Bourne. Bourne quickly hops to the cage's side, and starts a slow climb to the top. Bam Bam starts climbing the side adjacent to him, and both men are racing, albeit, very slowly, to the top. Bourne gets to the top first, and sits atop the cage, looking down as Bam Bam makes his way up the other side. Bourne gets to his feet on top of the cage, just as Bam Bam gets to the top of the other side. Both men grabs a hold of the cable, and stare at each other, before looking down at the concrete below. Bourne lands a left hand to Bam Bam's skull, swaying the big man. As Bourne tries to keep his balance atop the cage, Bam Bam winds up, and delivers a right punch to Bourne's chest, knocking off the cage, and into the crowd!The crowd catches Bourne, and carries him all the way to the back, before rolling him onto the entrance ramp, and the bell rings! Bourne has won! Bam Bam is still on top of the cage, staring on in amazement!

Did you see that!? Bam Bam knocked Bourne off of the cage, and then he essentially crowd-surfed all the way to the ramp, where his feet finally touched the ground, and he won!

This is a travesty. Bourne nearly killed himself with that shooting star press, and then he gets to the top of the cage first? What did we miss? What happened? Bam Bam should've won this match.

Bourne is finally to his feet, posing at the top of the ramp as his music blares through the arena. Bam Bam starts the slow climb down the cage, shaking his head, stunned at the outcome.

A video package reviews the match, showcasing Evan's death-defying leap, and then the fall on to the crowd, as we head to commercial.

When we return from commercial, we see Chris Jericho standing in the back, having a conversation with a wrestler from a rival company, Nighthawk. Before long, Dee Dragon appears, mic in hand.

What do you want? Can't you see I'm talking to the Champion Of Wrestling? He finally gets a chance to come down here, see his old buddy, and you interrupt.

Look, if it were up to me, I'd be off interviewing someone that can wrestle, like Melissa, or Nattie. Instead, Zachary has me doing this crap. He wants to know what you think about your match with Rey Mysterio at BLACK TIDE.

What can I say? Matthew gave the orders. At BLACK TIDE, Rey Mysterio and myself, will face for my NSCW Heavyweight Championship. I don't have anything personal against Rey. He's an excellent competitor, but we had our match, and we saw who the better man was already. I'll go to BLACK TIDE as champ, and I'll leave as champ. It's that simple. If Rey was the better man, he'd be wearing this gold, wouldn't he?

I don't think this has anything to do with who the better man is. Matthew clearly said, that he's giving the fans what they want, and that's a rematch.

I didn't say it was anything personal. If Rey wants it to be, that's up to him. He can show up at BLACK TIDE, and do everything he can, but it just won't be enough.

Jericho turns and leaves, and the camera cuts to The One Big Will, and Mr. 487, at ringside.

I don't know why, but it seems Jericho is intent on making this match with Rey personal. Why can't it just be a simple match between two competitors? I understand the gold means a lot, but if Jericho is so sure that he's keeping the title, why make it personal?

I don't see the problem with it. Jericho is the champ, and Rey needs to remember that. If Jericho wants to make it personal, that's his right. If Rey doesn't like it, he can go to the pay-per-view, and shut him up.

You're not helping at all. But, if you're a fan of personal matches, this next match will be right up your alley. Two weeks ago, we saw Raven and LuFisto beat each other senseless, until finally, the bell rung, when LuFisto busted open Raven, winning their First Blood Match. Before that match even started, they made themselves an Extreme Rules Match at our first ever pay-per-view. They're up next, so let's go to the ring, and get ready for the match.

Ladies, and gentlemen, this next match is an intergender one-on-one match. Regular rules will apply. Making their way to the ring first, standing at five feet, once inch, she is the Super Hardcore Anime...LuFisto!

LuFisto walks through the curtain as her music hits, and the crowd has a much different reaction to her, cheering her all the way to the ring.

Well, Mr. 487, what do you have to say about this? The first time we saw LuFisto, the fans were puzzled that she was Zachary's choice to face Raven. Then, half of them laughed, when she answered Raven's open challenge. Then she won, and now they're cheering her! Talk about a show of respect.

I call it a show of stupidity. So what? She won one match, and it wasn't even a wrestling match. It was a First Blood Match. I could win one of those, with the right amount of luck.

Raven steps through the curtain as his music begins, and the crowd starts to boo him, as LuFisto sits on the middle rope, waiting for him.

Her opponent, on the way to the ring, weighing in at two hundred and forty five pounds, and standing at six feet, one inch tall, Raven!

Raven gets to the ring apron, and pauses, looking at LuFisto, who is holding the ropes open, before slowly stepping through. He goes to the opposite corner, and removes his jacket, while still trying to stare down LuFisto, who is smiling in her corner, and not showing any signs of backing down. The ref calls them to the middle of the ring, and explains that this match will not be under extreme rules, making sure both wrestlers understand.

The ref backs away, and calls for the bell. Raven and LuFisto are chest-to-chest, and Raven backs her all the way into the corner. LuFisto leans up on the tips of her toes, and still isn't quite face-to-face with Raven, so she climbs up on the bottom turnbuckle, and smiles innocently, but Raven doesn't find it funny. He winds up for a right hand, but she throws her legs up, and delivers a hurracanrana, tossing him across the ring. Both wrestlers spring to their feet, and Raven charges at her with a shoulderblock. She side steps him, grabs his belt, and runs him all the way into the ring post. Raven grabs at his shoulder, as LuFisto jumps out of the ring, and grabs a hold of his hand. She swings his arm back, and wraps it around the post, and he falls back into the ring, holding his arm. LuFisto climbs to the top rope from the outside, and splashes on to Raven with a senton bomb. Raven springs up to a seated position, and LuFisto gets to her feet, and runs off the far ropes, flying back at Raven with her version of the rolling thunder, tossing her lower body into his chest. She lands sitting on his chest, and hooks the leg for a pinfall attempt, but only gets a one before he kicks out. LuFisto climbs to the middle turnbuckle, and falls back onto Raven with a banzai drop. Raven throws a forearm at her, and she counters with one of her own, while still seated on his chest. Raven finally gets his hands on her back, and pushes her up as he bridges himself out from under her, before delivering a hard kick to the back of her head, forcing her forward against the mat. She gets to all fours, but Raven kicks her arm out, and applies a side headlock. She gets to her knees, and then to her feet, before starting to lay elbows into Raven's rib to break the hold. It takes four to loosen his grip, and then she slides out, before dropkicking him into the ropes, where he springs back at her. She wraps her arms around him, and takes him to the mat with a German suplex. She bridges through for a pin, and gets a 2, but Raven rolls out. Raven stumbles backwards, and collapses against the bottom turnbuckle, trying to gather himself. LuFisto doesn't give him the chance, flying at him with another rolling thunder. She grabs the middle ropes, and pulls herself up, and then climbs to the top rope, before falling straight down, landing both knees to the top of Raven's head, forcing him to the mat. She gets to the other side of the ring, and runs at Raven going for a seated senton, but he rolls out of the ring, and she hangs herself up over the bottom rope. Raven gets in the ring, and grabs LuFisto's pigtails, dragging her back into the ring. He stands over her, punching her in the face, while standing on her arms, so she can't defend herself. The ref screams at him to avoid the closed fist, and then uses his count, getting Raven to stop at 4. LuFisto is flat on the mat, blood dripping from her nose. Raven is still standing over her, and she spits blood in his face, before getting to her feet, and using a DDT to take him to the mat. He stays down on the mat, wiping blood from his eyes, as she locks in LuFisto's Law, her version of the rear naked choke!

This can't be allowed! The ref needs to break this up. Chokes are not allowed, especially that one!

She has until the ref's five count to break the hold, so don't go panicking, thinking this is the end of the match. I wonder if Raven is regretting second-guessing LuFisto, both as a wrestler, and as a challenge in the ring.

The ref tries to break the hold himself, but doesn't have any success. He starts his count, and LuFisto breaks it at two, and gets to her feet, leaving Raven on the mat, grasping at his throat. She goes to the other side of the ring, bent over, her hands on her knees, waiting for Raven to get to his feet. As soon as he does, she charges it, with her shoulder lowered, and takes him all the way to the turnbuckle. Raven's back is slammed against the corner, and she backs up to deliver a shoulder thrust, but he steps out, and catches her in a front facelock, before turning around and leveling her with an Evenflow DDT. He keeps the front facelock on, choking the life out of her as the ref reminds him this is not a hardcore match. Raven doesn't break the hold, and the ref is forced to use his count, again. At 4, Raven releases the hold, and gets to his feet. He uses his boot to roll over his opponent. LuFisto's forehead is bright red, from the impact with the canvas, and there's still blood coming from her nose, and trickling down her chin. Raven kneels next to her, and lifts his fist to throw a punch, but stops himself. He goes for the simple cover, and gets a quick three count for the win. As his music starts, he rolls out of the ring, and heads straight to the back, as LuFisto sits up in the ring, and makes her way to the back.

I'm glad Raven was able to silence the crowd, and pick up the win, but why didn't he pull the trigger? Why didn't he take the shot at LuFisto?

I think Raven finally showed some signs of having a heart, and realized he didn't need to hit her, to end the match. She was down, she wasn't moving, and her face was covered in blood. Why add insult to injury?

The ring crew is in the ring with towels, cleaning up the blood from the last two matches, as we head to our final commercial break of the night.

[NSL]

The arena is about half full when Nunzio makes his way to the ring for tonight's dark match. Parents start to shield their child's eyes as Goldust makes his way through the curtain, as his music plays through the arena. Nunzio is pacing back forth in the ring, and jumps Goldust as he steps through the ropes. Goldust fights him off, and tosses him threw the ropes before taking his robe off and heading across the ring, allowing his opponent to get back in.

As Nunzio makes his way back in the ring, the ref calls for the bell. Goldust goes for a lock up, but Nunzio kicks him below the belt, getting him a warning from the ref. As Goldust lays on the mat, holding on in pain, Nunzio kneels in front of him, and starts landing hammer fists to his face, forcing him to cover up, and roll away from Nunzio, who keeps hammering down on him with fist after fist. Goldust heads out of the ring, where Nunzio follows after him, and lands more punches on Goldust, who can't get away fast enough. The ref comes out, trying to break up the beating, and catches a right to the head for his efforts. He falls against the ring, and then to the floor, as Goldust slides in the ring, with Nunzio right behind him. Goldust is barely to a knee before Nunzio starts landing kick after kick to his ribs, forcing him back to the mat. Nunzio climbs on top of him again, but not before the ref is on his knees on the outside, calling for the bell, disqualifying Nunzio! Nunzio jumps out of the ring, and grabs a mic.

I'm sick of it! If I don't start getting some real matches, I'm through with NSCW! I've done nothing but dark matches, and job to a bunch of nobodies! I'm...

THROWDOWN is on the air! Nunzio is cut off by the pyros, and the music starting over the speakers. He slams down the mic, and starts heading to the back as "The One" Big Will steps through the curtain to Metalingus, and heads down the ramp. Nunzio stops in front of him, and is face to chest with the former 5-time champ. Will looks down on him with a smile, picks him up, turns around, and puts him down, before finally getting to his seat. Money starts next, and Mr. 487 heads to the stage to a chorus of boos. He makes his way down the ramp, with a big smile on his face, and a finger in the air. As he takes his seat next to his fellow commentator, "The One" Big Will starts the show.

Welcome ladies, and gentlemen, to this week's THROWDOWN! We've got a huge show tonight, but before we get to that, let's take a look back at last week's show.

Last week's show started with a bang, when Vanessa Kraven made her in-ring debut, and decimated Sarah Stock. We also saw DDP lose in tremendous fashion to Goldust!

Leaving out the little bit where Bossman and Piper jumped DDP, right? You also left out Hatebreed getting DQ'd, Rey Mysterio beating Nunzio, and Evan Bourne's huge win in the cage match, over Bam Bam Bigelow.

Not like you gave me a chance to throw that all in. I was going to get to it...Eventually. I was going to cover Raven's big win over LuFisto, even though he failed to pull the trigger at the end.

You call it "failing to pull the trigger", I call it "showing some compassion". Twin Method also had an impressive victory over Jamie Noble, and Dean Malenko, out-wrestling them in a big-time match before the pay-per-view. And, who could possibly forget the big main event last week, which set up the huge main event this week?!

This whole situation is a farce. Jack Swagger, and Shane Douglas, were supposed to have a big tag match against AJ Styles, and Chris Benoit, but that was all thrown to the wind when those hooligans jumped Mark E.'s respectable wrestlers.

The way I remember it, Swagger, and Douglas, jumped them, and they defended themselves! When Mark E. got involved, Mikey Whipwreck, and Gunnz evened up the odds, and handled some open business.

That's all well and good, but then Matthew appeared, and made a horrifying main event for tonight. We'll see Swagger and Douglas teaming up with Mark E., who has no place in the ring, to take on Chris Benoit, Mikey Whipwreck, and AJ Styles. This is madness!

That's damn straight! I can't wait! We'll also see the #1 Contender for the NSCW Title, take on Raven, just one before BLACK TIDE! I also can't wait to see the match between RVD and Evan Bourne.

I'm personally excited to see the first ever tag match between Barbwire Bitches, and NSCW's first ever mixed tag match. And, what about Christian facing Jerry Lynn in one-on-one action?

I'm personally looking forward to Twin Method getting a shot at the tag champs before the pay-per-view this Sunday. And, last but not least, we'll see the NSCW champion in action against the very impressive Eric Young.

I'll agree tonight should be action packed, but I don't agree that tonight's main event is going to be huge. It's a travesty, and a slap in the face to the history of wrestling, putting a manager like Mark E. in the ring against trained wrestlers!

Why don't we just head to the ring, where Erin is waiting, and apparently has an interview segment lined up for us.

Please welcome to the ring, my guests participating in tonight's main event...Chris Benoit, AJ Styles, Mikey Whipwreck, and Gunnz!

As Mikey Whipwreck's music starts, Gunnz steps through the curtain, leading the three wrestlers down to the ring. All four men enter the ring, with the crowd cheering them on the whole way. Benoit, Styles, and Whipwreck all pose on the turnbuckles for the crowd, as Gunnz gives Erin a handshake and gets ready for the interview.

Last week, Gunnz, we saw Mark E. and his men, once again, try to cheat their way to victory over AJ Styles and Chris Benoit. Mikey and you came to make the save, you showed that you had enough of Mark E.'s shenanigans, and were going to do something about it.

Since NSCW started, I've sat back, and watched Mark E. lead his men down the wrong path, and it became too much when Jack Swagger and him used their dastardly ways to take out my wrestler, Mikey Whipwreck. For two weeks, I watched as they cheated their way to victory. Last week, they kept it up, and I wasn't going to stand idly by. Tonight, Mikey is going to show them how it's done in a real match.

When they did it the first time, I wanted another shot at them. I wanted to come out here, and show the kids that what they are doing is wrong. Tonight, I'll get another shot at showing them the right way to win a match, fair and square.

I wish you both good luck tonight, and hope to see their string of luck come to an end. What do you have to say about this Benoit?

In the first round of the title tournament, I lost to Jack Swagger, and his cheating bastard of a manager. Then I was set to face Douglas, and had to deal with Mark E.'s bulls**t again. I had enough of it, and made sure it didn't take place when Douglas took on Styles. Just like Mikey, and just like Gunnz, I'm going to go out there tonight, kick their asses, and set this all right.

When Mark E. and Shane Douglas tried to cheat their way to a win over me, I was grateful when Benoit was there to bail me out. Last week, we were ready to have it out with Swagger and Douglas, and settle the score, but they didn't see it that way. They're cowards, and we're going to put them in there place tonight.

The music starts again, as all the men dive out of the ring, and high five a few fans at ringside, before heading to the back to cheers and applause.

Every single one of those men has a very one-sided view of Mark E., and his terrific group of wrestlers under his wing. I hope that justice is served tonight, and the right people come out victorious.

I'm not even going to waste my breath arguing that with you. Let's just wait until later, and see who's right in the end. There's a match on the way right now anyway.

The sound system erupts as Raven makes his way through the curtain, and down to the ring. There's mostly boos, but a few fans are cheering the man who showed a hint at a heart last week.

This match is scheduled for one fall...Making his way to the ring, weighing in at two hundred and forty five pounds...Raven!

Rey Mysterio comes out next, to a big pop, and makes his way to the ring.

His opponent...The number one contender for the NSCW Heavyweight Championship...Rey Mysterio!

Raven is sitting in the corner as Rey enters the ring, and climbs the turnbuckle to play to the crowd. He gets down, and takes off his shirt, as Raven gets up in the opposite corner.

Raven looks like something is troubling him. Maybe it's regret over not putting the final touches on his match with LuFisto.

Something is definitely troubling him, but I don't think its regret. I'm pretty sure it's weighing on him that he could've caused some serious damage to LuFisto last week.

If he doesn't get his head together quick, this match with Rey could go very wrong, and it'll all carry over to BLACK TIDE, and cost him a win there.

Raven and Rey circle each other as the ref calls for the bell. Rey goes for a lock up, but Raven pulls him to the mat, and applies a front face lock. Rey gets to his feet easily, and starts hammering Raven's ribs with punches, and breaks the hold. Raven steps back, holding his ribs, as Rey delivers a perfect standing dropkick, knocking him back into the ropes. Rey runs off the opposite ropes, and comes back at Raven with a handspring back elbow, before grabbing his head, and using a bulldog to take him down in the middle of the ring. Raven rolls over, and sits up, just as Rey is coming off the ropes with a front dropkick, sending him back to the mat. He goes for the quick cover, and gets a 2, but Raven rolls the shoulder.

Is that...Is that LuFisto coming down to the ring? What is she doing here? Hasn't she done enough to this man?

She hasn't done anything to Raven! I don't know why she's here, but I'm sure it isn't to mess with his head.

LuFisto gets to ringside, and walks around to the side, facing Raven. Raven gets to his feet, and goes towards the ropes, facing LuFisto, when Rey comes up behind him, and goes for the school boy roll up, and gets a quick two before Raven rolls out. Raven starts yelling at LuFisto on the outside, as Rey climbs the opposite turnbuckle.

What are you doing here? Get out of here!

I'm not here to hurt you! I'm here because of last week!

Raven turns around, and catches a standing dropkick in the chin, and falls right back to the mat. Rey drops a quick elbow to his sternum, and then climbs to the top rope, preparing for his big splash. LuFisto is yelling for Raven to get up, but he moves just a little too late, and Rey lands square on his chest. He hooks the leg, and gets a quick three, as Raven stares a hole through LuFisto. She takes off out of the arena, as Rey gets his hand raised in victory. Raven rolls out of the ring, and starts to head to the back.

Exactly as I feared! LuFisto came down to mess with Raven, and it cost him the match!

You are really funny, you know that? LuFisto said herself that she was down here because of last week. Maybe she also saw some compassion in his heart. Ever think of that?

Women don't have compassion. Didn't you know that?

Will just shakes his head as THROWDOWN heads to commercial.

The Pip is waiting in the ring, waiting for introductions, as we return.

This next match, is scheduled for one fall, and is a Mixed Tag Match! This means that the male wrestlers will fight each other, and the females will fight each other. This match will not be contested under extreme rules.

As The Pip finishes, Big Bossman's music hits, and the team of Natalya Neidhart and Big Bossman makes their way down the ramp.

Making their way to the ring first, weighing in at a combined five hundred five pounds, and being led by "Rowdy" Roddy Piper...The team of Natalya Neidhart and Big Bossman!

Piper waits on the outside, still sporting the neck brace. Big Bossman and Natalya enter the ring, as the arena is filled with boos. The boos continue until Self High Five hits the speakers, and then the crowd is on their feet, cheering for the team of Diamond Dallas Page, and Cheerleader Melissa.

Their opponents, weighing in tonight at a combined three hundred ninety five pounds...They are the team of Cheerleader Melissa and Diamond Dallas Page!

Page and Melissa use the stairs to get into the ring, and get face-to-face with Bossman and Nattie. The ref separates them quickly, and gets them to their respective corners, before reminding each team of the rules.

The ref calls for the bell, as Bossman and Page circle each other to start the match. Bossman goes for a leg takedown, but DDP sidesteps it, and Bossman struggles to keep his balance. As he straightens himself up, he turns and charges at DDP, shoulder tackling him to the mat, before landing clubbing forearms to his chest. DDP is able to wrap his legs around Bossman, and roll him over, before landing some forearms of his own. Bossman forces him off, and ducks to the outside to stop the onslaught. He paces around the ring, all the way to Natalya's position on the opposite side. Nattie and Piper huddle up with him, before he rolls back in the ring at 7. Bossman puts his hand up for a test of strength, to which DDP complies. As soon as both hands are locked up, Bossman lands a boot to the mid-section, and then grabs Page in a front face lock. He wrenches in the hold, dropping DDP to a knee. Page gets back to his feet, and tries to lift Bossman for an inverted atomic drop. He gets him off the ground, but can't lift him more than that. He tries a second time, and instead of getting the inverted atomic drop to connect, it's reversed, as Bossman lifts his feet, and pulls him down into a DDT! Bossman gets to his feet, and starts stomping on the back of his opponent, mixing in kicks to the ribs. DDP rolls over to his back, clutching his ribs. Bossman goes for the cover, but DDP grabs the ropes before a 1 count. Bossman gets to his feet, and pulls DDP up after him. He whips him into the ropes, and meets him in the middle with a knee to the gut. Page flips up and over, landing on his back. Melissa is in the corner, trying to get the fans behind her partner, while also screaming for the tag. Page gets to his knees, and Bossman steps in front of him, and grabs a handful of hair, pulling his fist back. Before he can swing, Page starts landing lefts, and rights, to his gut, forcing him to release his hold, and then DDP dives for the ropes, getting the tag, bringing Melissa into the ring. The ref works on getting Bossman out of the ring, as Nattie enters the ring, and the two women charge at each other from across the ring. Melissa connects with a dropkick, and as Nattie starts to sit up, she applies a reverse chin lock. Nattie tries to twist out, as the ref checks to make sure it's not a choke. Nattie grabs a hold of Melissa's hair, and gets to her feet. As she tries to drop into a jawbreaker, Melissa lets go of the hold, letting her opponent fall to a mat. Melissa leans of the ropes, and delivers a leg drop across the chest, before getting up and delivering another one. She goes for a third, but Nattie rolls over. Melissa leaps over her, running into the other ropes. As she comes back, Nattie catches her with a hip toss, sending her to the mat. Nattie pulls her to her feet, and applies a wristlock. She throws her into the ropes, but holds on, and uses the wristlock to flip her on to the mat, where she turns it into a hammerlock. She forces Melissa face down on the mat, and steps on the back of her legs, adding pressure to the hold. As Melissa reaches for the ropes, Nattie falls back, and pulls Melissa into a surfboard!

What innovation! Natalya is holding up Melissa with her legs, and still has the hammerlock applied! Nattie's strength could be too much here, and Melissa may tap!

This definitely doesn't look good for Melissa, but she is a competitor, and will do everything possible to avoid tapping!

Melissa uses her free arm to try to swing at Nattie, who rolls the surfboard over, and is now on top of Melissa, keeping the hold applied. Nattie rolls it again, moving Melissa further into the middle of the ring. Melissa reaches for the ropes with her free hands, but is too far away. She tries swinging at Nattie again, but continues to miss. Nattie rolls her over again, and releases the hammerlock. Before she gets off of her, she lands a hard punch to the back of her head, smashing Melissa's face into the canvas. Melissa stays face down on the mat as Nattie grabs her hair, and smashes her face into the mat repeatedly. The ref warns her for a hair pull, and she finally stops at the count of 4. Nattie charges to the opposite corner and gives DDP a forearm, knocking him off of the apron. He goes to climb back in the ring, but the ref stops him. In the ring, Nattie has a full nelson on Melissa, while Bossman delivers chops. The ref turns around a second too late, and Bossman is already out of the ring. Melissa starts to crawl away as the ref admonishes Bossman and Nattie. Nattie gives chase, and lifts Melissa's legs, holding her in a wheelbarrow position. Melissa reaches for the corner, but is a few feet too short. Nattie winds up, and lands a hard kick to the crotch, slumping her opponent back to the mat. Melissa rolls out of the ring, ad as the ref tries to get Nattie away from the ropes, Piper puts the boots to the downed female. DDP runs from his side of the ring to break it up, but Piper and Bossman are rolling her back under the ropes. DDP and Bossman start fighting on the outside, as Nattie is landing hard punches on Melissa. DDP whips Bossman into the guardrail, and then connects with a diamond cutter on the outside. Bossman is bleeding from the forehead, and Piper is trying to get DDP off of his personal security. Back in the ring, Nattie has grabbed on to Melissa's head, and is driving it into the mat. After about five head smashes, she gets to her feet, and drops a knee into Melissa's forehead. She drags her into the middle of the ring, and applies a sharpshooter! Melissa is screaming in pain, and is too far from the ropes to break the hold. DDP tries to get in the ring to help, but Bossman and Piper are holding him back, and the ref has his back to them, checking for a submission. Melissa tries to push herself up, but Nattie just leans back further, stretching her back. Melissa finally has no choice but to give in, and taps. Nattie and Bossman have won!

This is just not right. DDP and Melissa both fought a fair match, and Bossman and Nattie wouldn't have won if it weren’t for cheating.

I don't care how they won. They won, and that's all that matters. Nattie worked on Melissa's back, and she had no choice but to give in!

Back in the ring, Page is finally able to go and check on his partner, as Nattie, Bossman, and Piper celebrate at ringside. Piper goes under the ring, looking for a weapon, but something catches Nattie's eye, and she tosses him aside. She reaches under the apron, and grabs a fire extinguisher!

Oh no! Last week, Natalya almost transformed when she saw the fire extinguisher, and it appears she's doing it again! What could be going through her mind?

Natalya slides in the ring, extinguisher in hand, and kicks DDP to the side, before slamming it down over the back of Melissa's head. Melissa goes limp almost instantly, and Nattie hits her again. She rolls Melissa over, and sits on her chest, and lines up the bottom of the fire extinguisher with Melissa's nose. As she winds it up, a group of refs hit the ring, and pull her off of Melissa, who still isn't moving. They drag her out of the ring, where Piper and Bossman collect her, and help her to the back. DDP helps the refs get Melissa out of the ring, and he carries her to the back.

Even I can see that something is wrong with Natalya. Something about that fire extinguisher sets her off.

I don't know what it is, but time will tell, I'm sure. Let's head to the back, where Jammy is standing by with your personal hero, Mark E.

The camera cuts to the back, where Jammy is indeed standing outside Mark E.'s locker room, waiting for him to come out. Jammy knocks, and gets no answer.

Mark E.! Mark! I'd like a word with you! Please open up!

The door opens, but the chain lock stops it from opening more than a few inches. Jammy looks puzzled.

Mark E., is that you?

Jammy? If it's you, then yes, I'm Mark E.

O...K...I was wondering what you had to say about tonight's six-man tag match. Are you afraid of stepping in the ring?

Afraid? Me? Pfft...No. Why should I be afraid? I'll have Shane, and Jack, down there with me. I'm not scared of those punks anyway. What can they do to me?

Jammy gets a twisted little smile on her face.

Oh...Hi Chris! Hi AJ! How are you guys?

Interview over!

Mark E. slams the door shut, as the camera turns to Jammy, who is rolling on the floor, laughing hysterically. No one is around, and the joke is on Mark E. The camera cuts back to the announce table, where Will is also doubled over in laughter.

Hardy-har-har. Very freakin' funny. What do we have next?

I don't remember. I can't breathe. Laughing too hard...

Mr. 487 just shakes his head, as Evan Bourne makes his entrance into the NSCW Arena. He has a wrap on his leg, and is limping down the ramp, and the crowd cheers for him as he slides in under the bottom rope. Rob Van Dam is out next, and gets a good mix of cheers and boos.

It's interesting to see RVD getting more and more cheers every week. He's been impressive, week in, and week out, and we're sure to see a good one here again tonight.

On any other night, that may be. But, tonight, Evan Bourne is here with his knee all wrapped up. I'm pretty sure we know who's going to win this.

Van Dam climbs in the ring, and poses for the crowd. Evan Bourne is across the ring, nodding his head, waiting for the bell.

RVD and Bourne shake hands in the middle of the ring, and the ref calls for the bell. Almost immediately, RVD goes for a spinning wheel kick that Bourne ducks with a full split. RVD lands, and then goes for a buzzsaw kick, but Bourne gets even lower, laying flat against the mat. As RVD spins around, Bourne nips up. He catches RVD off guard with a spinning back fist that sends him reeling. He falls back against the middle turnbuckle, where Bourne meets him with a standing dropkick. RVD falls forward onto the mat, as Bourne climbs to the middle turnbuckle, and sits on the top rope. As RVD gets to his knees, Evan uses a missile dropkick to send him to the mat. RVD rolls out of the ring, as the crowd lets out a cheer for Bourne. RVD is holding the back of his neck, shrugging off Bourne's assault, as Bourne waits in the ring. The ref is at 5 when RVD rolls back in the ring. Bourne goes for a lock up with RVD, but his size disadvantage shows, and RVD backs him right into the corner. The ref gets to a 3 count, looking for a break, and RVD obliges. As Bourne comes out of the corner, RVD delivers a standing dropkick, send Bourne into the turnbuckle, and sailing over the top rope. He lands awkwardly on the outside, with his knee buckling under him. RVD leans over the ropes, checking on his opponent, and the ref tries to get him back to the opposite side of the ring. He's at 4, and Bourne is still leaning against the stairs, clutching his knee. At 7, Bourne has gotten to a knee, and is using the apron to get to his feet. The ref is at 9, and is ready to count 10, when RVD makes a diving kick between the bottom and middle ropes, sending Bourne to the floor, as well as RVD. RVD springs to his feet, and pulls his opponent up, before whipping him into the apron. Bourne crashes against the ring, and RVD is right behind him with a diving elbow. RVD scoops Bourne off the concrete, and rolls him into the ring, before climbing to the top rope.

Uh-oh Will. It looks like RVD might be getting ready to put this one away.

That may be so, but it's not like Bourne is at 100%. He had a hellacious match last week with Bam Bam Bigelow, inside of a steel cage! The fact that he's even out here right now, speaks to his character.

As RVD stands on the top turnbuckle, he poses for the crowd, and gets an R-V-D chant, before going for the frog splash. Bourne gets his knees up! RVD rolls off of him, holding his abdomen, as Evan Bourne grabs at his knee. RVD crawls to the ropes, pulling himself to a knee first, and then to his feet, leaning on the top rope for support. Bourne is still on the mat, holding his knee, trying to slither to the ropes. RVD grabs him by the leg, and pulls him into the middle of the ring, before running off the ropes with a rolling thunder, connecting with Bourne's ribs. RVD springs to his feet, and runs to the turnbuckle, leaping to the top rope with a double leg split, and springboards back onto Bourne. He leans back onto his knees, before pointing to the top rope again. Bourne clutches at his knee, but is still lying in the middle of the ring. RVD hops onto the top rope, skips the posing, and goes straight for the frog splash. This one connects, and Van Dam hooks the leg, and gets the 3 count. Without much celebration, he rolls out of the ring, and heads to the back. Bourne is sitting up in the ring, holding his knee, as the camera cuts to the announce table.

RVD would not be denied, and picked up an easy win. Bourne should never have stepped in the ring.

Sometimes I wonder what I'll have to do to get you to shut up. Let's just head to commercial. When we return folks, we'll have NSCW's first ever Barbwire Bitches tag match!

A video package replays the last match, as THROWDOWN heads to commercial break.

The Pip is in the ring, as we return from commercial. He has the introductions, and rules, for the next match.

This next match is scheduled for one fall, and will be fought under extreme rules! All four ladies will be considered legal, and any pinfall, or submission, will count as a victory. Making her way into the arena first, hailing from Canada, and weighing in tonight at one hundred twenty pounds...Sarah Stock!

Sarah makes her way through the curtain, making a long, slow walk to the ring. She has a black eye, almost swollen shut, and noticeable cuts and scrapes across her arms and chest.

Ms. Stock is still sporting some of the injuries she received over the last two weeks, at the hands of Vanessa Kraven, and also in the Fatal Four Way.

As Sarah steps into the ring, her partner's music starts, and the crowd erupts with cheers.

Her tag team partner, the NSCW Barbwire Bitches Champion herself...Nikki Roxx!

Nikki steps through the curtain, and the crowd gets even louder. She high fives a few fans on the way to the ring, and steps through the ropes, and shares a hug with her partner. Both women go to their corner, and let The Pip take center stage again, as he introduces their opponents.

And, their opponents...Making her way to the ring first, weighing in at one hundred thirty five pounds, and standing at five feet, and seven inches tall...MsChif!

MsChif steps through the curtain to almost no reaction, which angers her to no end. She makes her way to the ring, yelling at the fans, and pointing at her opponents in the ring, yelling at them. She climbs to the top of the stairs, but doesn't enter the ring.

Her partner, weighing in at one hundred and ninety pounds, and standing at six feet tall...Vanessa Kraven!

Nikki, and Sarah, lose their smiles, and turn their attention to the beast walking down the ramp. MsChif starts to climb through the ropes as Vanessa Kraven steps up to the apron, and both women are met by their opponents.

The ref calls for the bell, as Nikki continues to throw forearms at Vanessa, while Sarah and MsChif are exchanging punches in the corner. Vanessa finally shoves the champ off, and makes her way into the ring. She grabs a hold of Sarah Stock's hair, and pulls her off of her partner, before throwing her across the ring by her hair. She scoops up Nikki, and slams her right back down with a power slam, shaking the ring. MsChif kneels next to Sarah, and starts landing MMA-style elbows to the side of her head. Sarah tries to push her back, which gets her an open handed slap to the stomach. The smack even catches Vanessa's attention, as she stands on Nikki's chest, pulling on the ropes for added pressure. She steps down off of Nikki, and uses her boot to roll her out of the ring, and down to the concrete. She climbs out after her, as MsChif uses a blatant choke on Sarah. Sarah grabs a hold of MsChif's hair, drawing a blood-curdling scream from her. MsChif releases the choke, and Sarah throws her out of the ring, before resting on all fours to catch her breath. On the other side of the ring, Vanessa Kraven is pummeling Nikki with kicks and stomps, and won't let her even to her knees. Vanessa finally lets her up to a knee, and then starts slapping her in the face, taunting her, begging her to get up. Nikki grabs a hold of Vanessa, trying to pull herself up, but is caught with a front face lock, and then lifted into the air. Vanessa holds her up for a second, before suplexing her to the floor.

If Sarah can't help out her teammate, this may be over soon. Vanessa Kraven is absolutely destroying the champ.

I love it! Sarah is having enough of her own troubles with MsChif, though, so I don't think she'll be coming to the rescue anytime soon.

Vanessa crawls under the ring apron, looking for a weapon, as Sarah is finally able to get out of the ring, and stand over MsChif on the outside. She delivers a sharp kick to the mid-section, before applying a single leg Boston crab. Vanessa tosses a chair, and a kendo stick from under the ring, before standing up with a Handicapped Parking sign in her hands. She turns towards Nikki, who smashes the sign into her face with the chair! Nikki stands over her opponent, and smashes it down again, before Vanessa can put a leg into her gut, and throw her back. Sarah Stock releases her hold on MsChif, and comes around the ring to help Nikki. Vanessa gets to her feet, and is instantly met with a double clothesline, sending her back to the floor. Nikki and Sarah drop matching elbows onto her, and then Sarah holds her down, as Nikki climbs up to the apron. As she runs across the length of the apron, and dives off with a splash, Vanessa pulls Sarah over her, padding the blow, and sandwiching her between herself, and Nikki. Nikki rolls off the pile, and lands on the floor, smacking against the concrete. Sarah gets tossed off of Vanessa, who gets to her feet, and then goes to help up her partner. MsChif has a limp, but is able to get around the ring, and pull Nikki to her feet. Vanessa stands over Sarah, and then drops a knee to her forehead. Sarah rolls to her side, where Vanessa grabs her chin, and lands a clubbing forearm to her chest, sending her to her back. As Nikki leans on the ring for support, MsChif gives her a kick to the thigh, and then four hard chops to the chest. Vanessa lends a hand, delivering chops of her own, as Sarah lies motionless on the floor. Nikki finally ducks a chop from MsChif, and lands a low blow on Vanessa. As Vanessa is hunched over, she chop blocks her, sending her to her knees. MsChif grabs Nikki by the hair, and throws her back in the ring. She slides in under the bottom rope herself, and uses a spear to send her opponent back to the mat. She drops off the second turnbuckle with a leg drop, and goes for the pin, getting a 2 before Nikki kicks out. Vanessa is finally back t her feet, and rolls in under the bottom rope, and screams at MsChif to hold up Nikki. MsChif grabs her in a full nelson, as Vanessa leans off the ropes, and delivers a hard front kick to Nikki's chest, sending her, and MsChif, through the ropes, and out to the floor. Both women land hard on their backs, and neither are in a hurry to get up. Vanessa looks over the ropes, and heads to the other side, where Sarah is still lying on the floor. She pulls her up, and leans her against the ring post, where she delivers another straight kick, slumping Sarah to the floor once again. She picks her up, and throws her over her shoulder, before climbing the stairs, and depositing her in the ring. She climbs the ropes, and then down to the middle rope on the inside of the ring. She measures her opponent, and delivers a Banzai drop, crushing Sarah under her weight.

This Vanessa Kraven is a beast. After what we saw last week, and what we're seeing here, I don't see how Nikki can overcome this, and retain her title Sunday.

I see you're finally coming around. Vanessa is superior to everyone in the division, and will leave BLACK TIDE with the title.

Vanessa gets a 1 with the pin, before standing up, and going to the outside. She stands over her partner, and the champ, before putting a knee into Nikki's throat. As Nikki screams out, Vanessa punches her in the chest repeatedly, forcing the air out of her lungs. As Nikki's face starts to turn purple, Vanessa goes for the cover, and the ref counts 3, giving Vanessa, and MsChif the victory.

Did you see that Will? Did you? Vanessa dominated that entire match, and was never in danger of losing. Nikki and Sarah could've had 3 more partners, and we all know how it would have ended.

I hate to say it, but it's going to be tough for Nikki to keep that title around her waist at BLACK TIDE. Vanessa Kraven is an untamed beast, and I'm afraid of what she may do for that title.

Speaking of title changes at BLACK TIDE, let's head to the back, where Kane, and C.C.S., are standing by with Jammy.

 

[NSL]

The camera fades, and returns in the back, showing Kane towering over Jammy, C.C.S. at his side.

If you were smart, pretty little lady...You'd just stand there, hold that mic, and let this man speak.

Jammy looks at Kane, but not in the face. She turns, and holds the mic up for C.C.S.

Last week, Princess Bex made her little announcement, that the Bulldog had accepted our challenge. Then, she took it upon herself to add a Three Stages Of Hell stipulation to the match. You know what...It's blown up in her face! Zachary gave us the opportunity to match her stipulation, and we left it to a fan vote. So far, it looks like we have the fan's support. Our chosen match...Falls Count Anywhere, Submission, and Inferno matches, is leading by a margin of two to one on NSCW.wz. So, you see Bulldog...The fans of NSCW are seeing the light. They are good people. They are God-fearing people. These are the people that will support us on our road to winning the Television Title, and to making you, and your little "princess", see the light, and fix the errors of your ways. Anything you want to add to that, Kane?

Davey Boy...I'll give you one last chance. If you bow down to me, tell me you've seen the light, and hand over your title...We won't need our match Sunday.

Kane, and C.C.S., walk off, leaving Jammy scared stiff. The camera cuts to the entrance ramp, as the speakers come to life, beginning the next match.

This next one-on-one match, is scheduled for one fall...Making his way to the ring first, accompanied by Tajiri...He is Jerry Lynn!

The crowd pops for the Indy legend, who makes a dart for the ring with his tag partner. Both men stand in the ring, awaiting Lynn's opponent for the evening. As the music changes, the crowd begins to boo, before they even see the man on the entrance stage.

His opponent, being led to the ring by his manager, Mark E., and Justin Credible...Christian!

As Hatebreed makes their way down the ramp, Mark E. is standing between both men, practically staring over his shoulder. Justin Credible gets on the apron, and Christian slides in under he bottom rope. Mark E. walks around the ring, stopping in front of the announce table, as Christian, and Credible, jaw at their opponents. Tajiri finally knocks Justin Credible off the apron with a flying elbow, and both men topple out to the floor. Jerry Lynn and Christian begin brawling in the ring, as the ref heads to the outside, and ejects both men from the arena!

What is this!? Why is the ref making Justin Credible leave the arena? Tajiri was obviously the aggressor, and he should be the only one made to leave!

He's ejecting both men, because Justin Credible is nothing but an instigator, and this match is far better off without him at ringside.

More refs come from the back, and lead Justin Credible, and Tajiri, to the back, leaving the ref to sort out the brawl in the ring. Jerry Lynn is on top of Christian, and landing punch after punch as the ref grabs him under the arms, and pulls him off. Christian slithers out of the ring, where Mark E. is waiting. Christian and his manager walk around the ring, staring daggers through Lynn, as they plan their attack. Christian climbs back in the ring, pointing, and screaming, at his opponent.

Lynn shrugs it off, and waits patiently in the corner. The ref calls for the bell, and Christian charges across the ring. He locks up with Lynn, and forces him back into the corner, where he delivers two hard knees to the mid-section, as the ref calls for the break. At the ref's count of 4, Christian breaks, but gives Lynn a slap to the face. Lynn shoves Christian back, rolling him into the middle of the ring. Lynn comes out of the corner, and gets caught with a drop toehold by Christian. Christian gets to his feet, and intertwines his foot between Lynn's legs, before dropping to his back on the mat. Lynn lets out a yell, and reaches for the ropes. Christian reaches back, and pulls on Lynn's head, torquing his neck. Christian releases the hold when Lynn refuses to give up. Lynn holds the back of his neck on the mat, while Christian measures him up, and drops a knee to his back. He drops another knee, and then applies a double under hook, putting added pressure on Lynn's back. The ref checks for a submission, but Lynn won't give in. Christian pushes up with his free leg, pulling on Lynn's arms, and lifting him off the mat. He releases the hold, and Lynn's face smacks against the canvas. Christian leans over him, yelling at him to get up, while using a handful of hair to lift him up. When Lynn is on his feet, Christian whips him to the ropes, and catches him with a clothesline on the rebound. Lynn crashes to the mat again, and is grasping at his back.

Jerry Lynn needs to do something to get this match turned around. If Christian keeps beating on him like this, he may not be able to walk out of here on his own.

He can't do anything, you know why? He sucks. Christian is proving it now. He's doing what he does best, and that's taking Lynn to the woodshed.

Lynn is sitting up in the ring, as Christian leans off the ropes, and drops a knee to the back of Lynn's neck. Christian buries his knee between Lynn's shoulders, and pulls back on his chin, stretching out his back, and neck, even more. Lynn grabs a hold of Christian's wrists, but is unable to break the hold. The ref checks for a submission, but Lynn says "No". The crowd starts to chant, trying to will Lynn out of the hold. They chant "New F'n Show", and Lynn is finally able to get Christian's hands off his neck, and lifts out of the hold, and turns it into a top wristlock, and then forces Christian to his knees. He gives him a kick in the stomach, and then runs to the far ropes, before coming back with a crossbody, forcing Christian to his back. Lynn stands, and then does a standing moonsault, landing his back across Christian's torso. He takes a moment to get to his feet, and then climbs to the middle turnbuckle, before dropping a fist onto Christian's forehead. Christian rolls towards the apron, but Lynn catches his leg, and prevents him from escaping. He drops an elbow to the inside of the knee, and wraps Christian's leg around his body, locking in a Dragon screw. Christian reaches for the ropes, and is an inch away. Mark E. grabs his arm, and pulls him towards the ropes, but the ref breaks the cheat attempt, and hurries Mark E. around the ring. With the ref's attention diverted, Christian grabs a handful of hair, and rolls over, tossing Lynn to the outside. The ref struggles to get Christian to the other side of the ring, as Lynn lies on the floor, holding his back. Christian keeps the ref's attention long enough for Mark E. to grab a chair, and head to where Jerry Lynn is on the outside. Mark E. lifts the chair, and brings it down against Lynn's back, getting the ref's attention. As the ref turns around, Mark E. tosses the chair under the ring, and holds his hands up. Christian ducks to the outside, and pulls up his opponent, before rolling him back in the ring. Lynn grabs the ropes, and gets to a knee, but Christian pulls him to the middle of the ring, and sets him up for the unprettier. Lynn is able to shove him off, and into the ropes, but falls to a knee, and can't capitalize. As Christian comes back off the ropes, he lands a lifting knee to Lynn's face, sending him to the mat again. He drops a quick elbow, and then hooks the leg for a pin. He gets the three count, and celebrates with Mark E. in the ring, as his music plays. Justin Credible comes out to celebrate with them also, and all three men head to the back, as Jerry Lynn struggles to get out of the ring, still holding his back.

See Will. I told you this would happen. Christian is a superior wrestler to Jerry Lynn, and he showed it there. If Lynn knew any better, he never would've stepped in the ring.

One day, you'll wake up from your little dreamland, and I'll be here to see it. Yes, Christian dominated most of that match. But, as soon as Lynn started to make a comeback, Mark E. needed to interfere to make sure that he didn't win.

I have no clue what you're talking about. I didn't see, or hear, anything.

Folks, we're going to head to a commercial, and when we return, Dee will be standing by with NSCW's newest signing.

The camera fades to black as THROWDOWN goes to commercial.


As THROWDOWN returns, cheers can be heard as NSCW's most recent acquisition, Carson "CM" Money, approaches Dee Dragon, who is purchasing some Jack Swagger merch.

Uh, Dee...is it? I was told we had a segment now, and you appear to be too busy...

Ugh, hold on a sec. Can't you see I'm buying some stuff with the world's sexiest man on it?

I don't see my face on any of that stuff. I bet it'll be on store shelves next week, though. Are we going to do this interview, or what?

Fine! Geez...Let me find my mic...

Dee fumbles through a stack of t-shirts, posters, and NSCW official socks, and finds her mic sitting on the table. She makes sure it's on, and turns to the camera, as Carson looks puzzled.

OK...So, you're new here to NSCW, and apparently made some announcement, that you were given the right to sign any two wrestlers to want, and bring them here as a tag team. Anything you need to add, or can I go back to buying stuff?

The only thing I have to add, is that I have my men signed. I won't let you know just yet, but I will when the time is right. What I can say, is that I've been sitting back here all night, and had my eye on the last match in particular. That Mark E. sure is riling up a lot of hate, and I think I know who my guys are going to go after first.

Are you saying you're going after Mark E.'s tag team, Hatebreed? I know you're a gambler and all, but that doesn't seem like a wise bet. Not hard to tell you're new around here...

I've made my name by making seemingly foolish bets. Why stop now? I'll be watching on Sunday...

Carson leaves, and Dee drops her mic, and picks up her newly bought merchandise. The camera cuts back to the ring, where The Pip is waiting to do the introductions for the next match.

This non-title match is scheduled for one fall! Making their way to the ring first...Weighing in at a combined four hundred thirty seven pounds, they are the number one contenders for the NSCW Tag Tam Championships...The team of CM Punk, and Hurricane Helms...Twin Method!

Fake starts as Punk and Helms make their way through the curtain, and on to the stage, where some pyros welcome them to the arena. The fans cheer wildly, and the pop continues until Twin Method is in the ring, standing on the turnbuckles posing. The music changes, and the crowd falls silent.

Their opponents...They are the NSCW Tag Team Champions, and weigh in at a combined six hundred fifty two pounds...This is the team of Vladimir Kozlov and Umaga!

The champs come out to silence throughout the arena, and make the long, slow walk to the ring. The Pip exits as they step through the ropes, leaving the champs with an empty ring. Kozlov and Umaga pose in the ring with their belts, and then hand them off to the ref. Punk and Helms get back in the ring, and the ref gets ready to call for the bell.

Punk is starting the match for Twin Method, and Umaga will be starting for the champs. The ref calls for the bell, and Umaga gets in a fighting stance in his corner, daring Punk to attack. Punk shifts his weight from leg to leg, bouncing back and forth, before going for Umaga. He initially tries a leaping knee to the head, but it doesn't faze Umaga. He goes for a kick to the ribs, but Umaga shrugs it off. He swings a left hook at the Samoan Bulldozer, who catches his fist. Punk is forced down to his knees, and Umaga stands over him, yelling, and sticking out his tongue. Punk grabs a hold of Umaga's wrist, but he's not strong enough to break the hold. Umaga forces him down to the mat, before throwing Punk's arm down, slamming his hand into the mat. Punk tries to shake some feeling back into it, but not before Umaga has a hold of his hair, and is pulling him to his feet. Punk lands a quick kick to Umaga's thigh, but it doesn't have any effect. Umaga uses the handful of hair to whip Punk into the ropes, and then knocks him to the mat with a hard shoulder bump. Umaga leans off the ropes, and comes down with a splash on to Punk. He gets up, and drags Punk by the arm to the corner, where he climbs the turnbuckle, and lands on Punk's chest with a seated senton. Punk lets out a gasp, and Umaga hooks the leg for the pin. He only gets a 2 count, as Punk is able to get his arm on the bottom rope. Umaga gets to his feet, and pulls Punk up after him. He whips him into the corner, near Kozlov, and charges in after him with a clothesline. Punk falls to a seated position, as Umaga makes the tag out. While Kozlov is getting in the ring, Umaga helps up Punk, and leans him against the turnbuckle, before stepping out of the ring, and holding Punk's arms over his head. Kozlov delivers a crushing headbutt to Punk's chest, forcing him back to the mat. Kozlov winds up, and lands a hard right to Punk's temple, before smashing him with a knee.

I hope Punk and Helms can do something to turn this match around. I'm sure if Punk can make the tag, Helms will be able to turn this around, and get his team the win. As long as Punk is in there, he's going to keep getting pounded on.

I don't think there's anything Helms can do, that Punk can't. All that will happen if Punk tags out, is Helms will get his butt kicked just as badly.

Punk starts swinging aimlessly, trying to back off Kozlov, but the big Russian won't let up. He grabs Punk's head, pulling him to his feet, before throwing him across the ring, daring him to tag. Punk isn't moving, so the ref starts his count. At 7, Kozlov grabs Punk's hand, and drags him to his corner, and forces the tag out to Helms. Helms stares at Kozlov, contemplating his first step. He jumps to the top rope, and leap at Kozlov with a double axe handle. Kozlov shrugs it off, and whips Helms into the ropes, before connecting with a battering ram headbutt, slamming Helms to the mat with a thud.

What did I tell you Will? Helms would get in, and we'd see more of the same...

This isn't over yet. You never know what's going to happen.

I can't believe you'd ever be so shortsighted. This match is obviously over, and I can't believe Twin Method will actually get a shot at the titles Sunday...

As Helms lies on the mat motionless, Kozlov makes the tag to Umaga, bringing him back in the ring. Umaga stands over Helms, and grabs a handful of hair. He drops to a knee as he delivers a hard Samoan spike to his throat. He goes for the pin, and gets an easy 3. The champs collect their belts, and head to the back without a celebration, leaving Punk and Helms lying in the ring.

Punk crawls in the ring, and helps his teammate up, before they head to the back. A video replay shows the finish of the match as THROWDOWN heads to commercial.

The One Big Will and Mr. 487 are on-screen as we return from commercial.

I told you Will, and you wouldn't listen. That match was over before it began, and it'll be the same thing at BLACK TIDE. It's a shame that Malenko and Noble couldn't win that contenders spot.

For whatever reason, Twin Method was off their game tonight. I guarantee they'll arrive Sunday with something new for the champs. I wouldn't be all that surprised if they won the titles either.

Win the titles? Are you kidding me?

Since we're on the subject of titles, let's head to the ring. The NSCW champ is in action now.

This non-title match is scheduled for one fall! Making his way to the ring first, standing at five feet, eleven inches tall, and weighing two hundred twenty five pounds, Eric Young!

Young makes his way onto the stage as his music plays through the arena. There's a good amount of cheers, but not nearly the loudest reaction of the night. He gets a few high fives on his way to the ring, and points out a sign cheering him on, before stepping in the ring, and awaiting the heavyweight champion.

And his opponent, weighing in at two hundred twenty six pounds, and standing six feet tall...He is the NSCW Heavyweight Champion..."Lionheart" Chris Jericho!

Jericho's music welcomes him to the arena, as he makes his way through the curtain, before posing on the stage with his title. There's mostly boos, but a good amount of cheers for the first ever NSCW champ. He makes his way down the ramp, before jumping up to the apron, and stepping through the ropes, where he poses with the title once more. Eric Young looks impressed, but stays focused on his opponent. Jericho removes his vest, and steps back to his corner, waiting for the bell.

As the ref calls for the bell, Young steps to the middle of the ring, where he offers a handshake to Jericho. Jericho looks at his hand, and then slaps him across the face. Young reacts by going for the collar-and-elbow tie-up. Neither man has an edge, and they break the tie-up before Jericho lands a snapping kick to Young's right thigh. Young grabs at his hamstring, as Jericho grabs his other leg, and takes him down. He delivers another kick to the back of the leg, and then plants his knee behind Young's, stretching his leg backwards. Young isn't able to break the hold, so he starts to slide toward the ropes. Jericho releases the hold, so he can pull Young back into the ring, but Young capitalizes, and pulls away from him. He gets to his feet, just as Jericho lands a knee to his ribs. Jericho whips him into the ropes, and sets up for a back body drop, but Young telegraphs, and leaps over him, and bounces off the other ropes. Jericho turns around, facing his opponent, and catches a cross body, sending both men to the mat. Young hooks the leg, but only gets a 2 before Jericho rolls the shoulder. Young pulls him to his feet, and whips him into the corner. He climbs the turnbuckle, and stands over Jericho, before the fans start counting along with the punches to the face. At 10, Young monkey flips Jericho across the ring. Jericho lands hard on his back, and leans up on an elbow to hold his back in pain. Young charges across the ring, and jumps into the second rope, feet first, before coming back with a dropkick to Y2J's face, crashing him back to the mat. Young climbs to the middle rope, and lands a knee to Jericho's chest, before going for the lateral press. He hooks the leg again, but only gets a one, as Jericho gets his other leg on the ropes. Young steps away, giving the ref a clean break. Jericho gets to his feet, and checks his lip for blood. He circles around the ring, and goes for a collar and elbow tie-up with Young. Neither man is able to get an advantage, but Jericho turns it into a side headlock. Young can't pull himself out, and Jericho wrenches it on tighter. Young goes for an elbow, but it doesn't have any effect, as he starts to fade. Jericho pulls tighter, and Young drops to a knee. The ref checks Young's arm, and it drops. He goes to lift it again, but this time Young is able to hold it up, and starts to run at the ropes, trying to break the hold. Jericho does release the hold, but grabs the ropes, and slings Young back into the ring. As Young is getting to his feet, Jericho goes for a Lionsault off the ropes, and connects! He rolls up Young's legs, and nearly gets a 3 before Young kicks out. Jericho stomps on Young's face, before placing his boot on his forehead, and stomping down to the mat, forcing Young to cover up. Jericho grabs Young's leg, and gives it a kick to the back of the thigh, before grabbing the free leg, and attempting the LionTamer!

This is it Will. The champ is going to end this here, and Young better hope he can still go at BLACK TIDE.

This match is anything but over. Eric is a true competitor, and will find a way out of this, and will be fine for his match with RVD at BLACK TIDE. Just you wait and see...

As Jericho tries to roll Young over, Young lifts himself off the mat, blocking the submission maneuver. Jericho swings him around, pulling him away from the ropes, but still can't roll him through. Young falls back to the mat, before trying once more to block the hold. Jericho looks over his shoulder, and turns Young a little to the side, before falling back, and using a slingshot to send him head first into the steel ring post. Young stays perched on the top rope, as Jericho catches a breather in the ring. He grabs Young's legs, and pulls him back into the ring, letting his head slide off the top turnbuckle, and slam into the mat. Jericho stands over him, measuring his next move. He pulls Young to his feet, and uses some chops to force him into the corner. Young delivers one of his own, but it's answered by three more from Jericho. Jericho whips Young across the ring, and into the other turnbuckle. Jericho gives him a dropkick to the back, before using a running bulldog to pull him away from the ropes. Young hits the mat hard, and rolls to his back, covering his face. Jericho grabs his legs, and easily applies the LionTamer. Young lets out a scream, but won't give in. Jericho buries his knee into the back of Young's neck, and pulls back harder on his legs, and Young has no choice but to tap!

See? I told you, and you didn't believe me. Jericho was going to win, and now Young needs to worry about his condition heading into Sunday.

I can admit when I'm wrong, but you're still an ass. Young put up a valiant effort, but it wasn't enough to beat the champion. I hope he'll be ready to still put on a great show with RVD come Sunday.

Jericho poses in the ring with his belt, before heading to the back as his music plays through the arena.

Fans, I just got word that Dee Dragon is in the back with none other than the NSCW Television champion, British Bulldog!

Yeah, it's me. Woohoo...Anyway, I was told to come find you Davey, what do you have to say?

Dee points the mic at Bulldog, while checking her fingernails.

Earlier tonight, Kane and his manager were out here bragging about the vote tally for BLACK TIDE. Well, I just took another look, and it seems like the fans are slowly coming around. They still hold the edge, mind you, but it's a little closer than they figured it to be.

Don't worry, Davey. Come Sunday, you'll still have your gold, no matter the stipulation.

Princess Bex and Davey Boy walk off, arm in arm, while Dee is still checking her fingernails, completely oblivious to the fact they left.

Yet another award winning interview by NSCW's own, Dee Dragon. She's outstanding. I love her!

Er, yeah. Sure. "Award-winning". Anyway, I agree with Princess Bex. The stipulation of the match is unimportant. If Kane was the better wrestler, he would've already had the title, and all of this wouldn't be necessary. Bulldog will leave BLACK TIDE with the belt around his waist.

Mr. 487 continues singing the praises of Dee as the camera ignores him, fading to commercial.

As THROWDOWN returns from commercial, a video package replays the feud surrounding the main event, including the promos from earlier tonight. The camera cuts to the announce table, as the fans are hot for the main event.

I can't wait, Will! This is the match we've all been waiting for! We'll finally get to see Mark E., and his men, shut up those little goody-two-shoes, and making their mark before BLACK TIDE arrives on Sunday!

This is indeed the match we've been waiting to see, I have to agree. Mark E. will finally step foot in the ring, and we'll get to see him get his ass handed to him but Styles, Benoit, Whipwreck, and hopefully, Gunnz! This should be an exciting match-up for sure.

Before Mr. 487 can say anything, the sound system comes alive, as Mikey Whipwreck is led down the ramp by his manager, Gunnz. The fans pop loudly, and the entire entrance way has fans leaning over, trying to get a look at the crowd favorite. Gunnz is first in the ring, and then Mikey rolls in under the bottom rope, before posing on the turnbuckle for the fans.

I was about to say that Mikey looks primed for action, but take a look at Gunnz. That man may hurt someone tonight. I have never seen him look so intense...

Go ahead, Gunnz. Get involved, get your team disqualified. Great way to set up that big match with Swagger on Sunday.

Chris Benoit enters next, and the crowd continues cheering for the man that has set his sights on Shane Douglas. He heads straight for the ring, stone-faced. He climbs through the ropes, and gives a high-five to his partners, but still shows no emotion.

Look at that face...I'd hate to be the Franchise tonight. Benoit has a very scary look on his face, and will most likely hurt anyone who gets in his way.

Yeah, I looked. It's a face not even a mother could love.

As the three-man stand in the ring, the music changes, and the crowd roars as AJ Styles bursts through the curtain, and throws back his hood. He takes off his vest, and flies down to the ring, before diving in over the bottom rope, and posing on each turnbuckle for the crowd to see.

As he reaches the last one, the music changes, and you can barely hear it over the boos. Mark E. steps through the curtain, and starts his way towards the ring with Shane Douglas and Jack Swagger in tow. The three men stop at the ring, and stare in at their opponents. Mark E. takes the long route around the ring, and climbs the steps, but never enters. Douglas and Swagger step up on the apron, and slowly step through the ropes, attempting to stare down their opponents. Benoit, Styles, and Whipwreck can't be intimidated, and Gunnz is off staring down Mark E.

 

[NSL]

The ref clears the ring of everyone, and waits to see who's going to start. Shane Douglas decides to start for his team, and turns around to see Benoit is starting as well. He turns white as a ghost, and the ref calls for the bell. Benoit goes to grab him, but he quickly turns, and tags the first person he can, which is Mark E.! Shane hops out of the ring, and the ref demands Mark E. steps in the ring. Benoit starts rubbing his hands together, calling for Mark E. to bring it. As Mark E. steps through the ropes, Swagger and Douglas hightail it from ringside, and head to the back.

Oh my...Where are they going? Those cowards! They left Mark E. in the ring with a madman!

It appears he taught them everything he knows! They tucked their tail, and made a run for the exit as soon as things got too hot for them. I can't wait to see what happens now.

The ref looks puzzled at the men leaving as well, but tells Mark E. the match will continue. Benoit grabs Mark E.'s arm, but he dives, and grabs a hold of the ropes. Benoit grabs his legs, and pulls him into the ring, releasing his grip, and smashing his face into the mat. He pulls him up, and uses a German suplex to slam him to the mat. Mark E. tries to make a run for the corner, but Benoit grabs his leg, and drags him back in. He gives him a knee to the face, and then pulls him up, one more time, he whips him into the corner, and applies a wristlock as he tags in Mikey Whipwreck. The crowd pops as he enters the ring, and he delivers a hard headbutt into the side of Mark E.'s ribs. Mark E. falls to the mat, where Mikey runs, and performs a snapping neck breaker, flinging Mark E. to the mat with a shout of agony. Mikey grabs the left leg of the fallen manager, and drives his weight into the inside of his knee, before landing 2 hard punches to the shin, adding to the pressure of the hold. Mark E. has tears flowing from his eyes as he reaches for the ropes, but he's dead center in the ring. Mikey breaks the hold, and drops 2 elbows in quick succession to the sternum of Mark E. He grabs his arm, and drags him to the corner before tagging in AJ Styles, who climbs to the top rope, and delivers a leg drop across the neck. He runs off the far ropes, and jumps into the air before landing a hard fist to the eyes. Mark E. tries to roll out of the ring, but sees Gunnz waiting for him. He tries to retreat, but AJ grabs him by the neck, and pulls him to his feet, he sets him up for the Styles Clash and drops him back to the mat, and the crowd lets out another loud cheer as Mark E.'s cries get louder, and snot bubbles form on his face.

I wish there was something I could do. This isn't right. He's not a wrestler! Douglas and Swagger left him out to dry!

The One Big Will tries to respond, but he's too busy laughing at the in-ring action. AJ tosses Mark E. into the ropes, and answers the rebound with a Pele kick that gets a cheer from the fans. He leaves Mark E. lying on the mat, and tag Mikey back in, who quickly pulls Mark E. to his feet.

Please...No...Don't do it. Have mercy!

Mark E. falls to his knees, begging Mikey to call it off, but he answers with a kick to the gut, and pulls him to his feet. as Mark E. tries to plead again, Mikey lands a hard kick to the gut, and then hits a Whippersnapper to send Mark E. sailing outside the ring. As Gunnz goes to scoop up Mark E., Mikey tags Benoit back in. Gunnz rolls Mark E. in the ring, and then gets on the apron, and pulls him to a standing position. as Benoit approaches, he shoves Mark E. into him, and Benoit applies a crippler crossface! Mark E. is screaming pain, but is too limp to even raise his hand to tap. As the ref asks if he gives, Swagger and Douglas return to the arena!

I knew it! I knew they wouldn't leave him hanging! This was all part of the plan! I knew it all along!

Fans, if you believe that, I have some land for sale. I have no clue what those men are doing back here, but we'll have to wait and see what's in store.

The ref gets up to see what the commotion is, as Whipwreck and Styles stand at the bottom of the ramp, calling for Douglas and Swagger to come to ringside. Back in the ring, Mark E. is screaming, but Benoit won't release the hold.

That's it! I give! Let me go you son of a b*tch! I said I give!

The ref can't hear it over the boos, and isn't looking to see that this match should be over! As Douglas and Swagger storm down the ramp, Styles and Whipwreck meet them halfway, and the four men begin to pound on each other more than 2 lightweights opening for Ali. No one man has an edge, and all four are rolling around on the ramp pummeling each other. as the ref goes to leave the ring, and break up the melee, Christian and Justin Credible leap over the rail, and dive into the ring!

Those bastards! I knew there was something fishy going on! This isn't right! Get back in the ring ref, and take care of this!

Look at this! Benoit doesn't even see it coming!

As Benoit tightens up the hold, Christian and Credible stand behind him, and both land hard kicks to the back of his head, not only breaking the hold, but also knocking him out. They both pounce on him, and hammer on him with punches and forearms. Mark E. rolls out of the ring, and falls onto the floor, as Benoit gets manhandled in the ring. Gunnz slides in, and starts to pry the men off of Benoit. On the ramp, the four men are still going at it as refs and ring crew try to break it up. Gunnz lands a hard shot to Justin Credible, but isn't able to fight off Christian, who levels him with a kick to the groin, before diving back on to Benoit. Jerry Lynn and Tajiri come out, and make a beeline for the ring, to help out Gunnz and Benoit.

The cavalry has arrived! This isn't just a random rescue here folks...Two weeks ago, we saw Mark E. spoil a potentially great match between Hatebreed and this team, and last week, we saw Lynn get robbed of a victory over Christian in singles action. Apparently they're as sick of this as we are!

I don't care what you say! They have no place at ringside! They are not in this match, and don't belong here!

As Tajiri and Lynn dive into the ring, Credible gets to his feet, but is quickly taken out with a buzzsaw kick. Christian turns around, but it's too late to avoid a Lynn dropkick that sends him flying out of the ring. Before any order is restored, the commissioner’s music starts, and he storms onto the entrance ramp.

That's it! I've had enough of this! It's gone on long enough! This is two straight weeks that NSCW has had its main event ruined, and I won't let it happen again. Christian...Credible...You guys want a fight, you got it. Sunday, at BLACK TIDE, you will face off with Jerry Lynn and Tajiri. Apparently, you've pissed quite a few people off, and I can’t wait to see what happens to each and every one of you on Sunday.

All of the wrestlers have stopped brawling by now, and are listening intently to what the commissioner has to say. Christian and Credible are carrying Mark E., and are heading towards the ramp to retrieve Swagger and Douglas. Lynn and Tajiri are helping Benoit up, and Gunnz is slowly getting to his feet. Whipwreck and Styles are on their feet, and refs are lining the ramp, keeping everyone separated.

You guys are all going to end this at BLACK TIDE. If I have to come out here one more time, and settle this nonsense like your daddy, there will be consequences.

Zachary slams down the mic, and sends a ringing sound through the arena, which makes everyone hold their ears, as the refs hold back the faces, while the bad guys head to the back. The camera cuts to the announce table, where The One Big Will and Mr. 487 are ready to close the show.

Wow! A huge announcement just made by Zachary! He's added Tajiri and Jerry Lynn taking on Hatebreed to the pay-per-view, giving us a total of 10 matches for the first ever pay-per-view in NSCW history! I can't wait! That match goes along with Shane Douglas taking on Chris Benoit and AJ Styles in a Three Way Dance, and Jack Swagger taking on Mikey Whipwreck.

We'll also see British Bulldog defend his title against Kane, in a yet to be determined Three Stages Of Hell. And, don't forget the tag titles are on the line, as Kozlov and Umaga take on CM Punk, and Hurricane Helms! We all know who will win those, but they're there for you to see.

We'll also see RVD versus Eric Young, in a match where both men believe they will steal the show. And, we have Raven against LuFisto in Extreme Rules! DDP will also take on Big Bossman, with "Rowdy" Roddy Piper at ringside.

That should be a great match-up. I'm sure of it. And, let's not forget, the NSCW Heavyweight Championship will be on the line, as Chris Jericho takes on Rey Mysterio in our main event!

I know my colleague is a little slow, in thinking that Jericho will walk out of there, but I, for one, think Rey has a very good chance at walking out with some new gold around his waist.

A video package reviews the show, as THROWDOWN comes to a close.

NSL, jsut wanted to post my thoughts here. Unfortunately, I find myself working at Four AM in the morning, so even now, what may seem like a typical amount of reading I do on these forums returns to becoming The Odyssey

As for this BT.... Magnificent work, sir. You, man, know how to book a show. I actually would really like to read the origins, and get more in touch with the characters you provide. Your commentators are very strong narrators, that easily put me within the setting, and make me feel as if I'm watching the programming on television. My only fear, and perhaps I'm biased by my fatigue, is that it may run a bit long for my liking, and that it may be trimmed down a bit. How long does a typical show run, man?

All in all, terrific work. I look forward to seeing the next update

Most people say the same thing, and end up reading it all anyway, meaning I'm doing my job. I try to keep it fresh with the original roster, and newer feuds. I've tried to avoid anything going on right now.

Your commentators are very strong narrators, that easily put me within the setting, and make me feel as if I'm watching the programming on television.

There's definitely time to read the first 5 shows, because I have no clue when I'll be getting my laptop back to finish the PPV. It's all saved there, as well as the entire Excel file with the next few show's outlines. I'm a big critic for the commentary, which is why I put a lot of work into it here, as well as the interviews. There's some better stuff from "The One" Big Will and Mr. 487 on the earlier shows.

My only fear, and perhaps I'm biased by my fatigue, is that it may run a bit long for my liking, and that it may be trimmed down a bit. How long does a typical show run, man?

Everyone has the same complaint It's not just you. I really don't have a specific timeline set. I just figure a 2 hour show generally 6 matches, and a shitload of talking. I figured by stripping down the segments/promos, there'd be room for 7-8 matches. I also don't like timelines, makes it hard to write it.

All in all, terrific work. I look forward to seeing the next update

Again, it may be a bit, but help yourself to all the NSCW-related threads in the BT Lounge, as well as the earlier shows.

The crowd is on their feet, awaiting the National Anthem, as The Pip makes the introduction of tonight’s singer.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to NightShift Championship Wrestling’s first ever pay-per view event! Appearing tonight, singing our country’s national anthem, Lilian Garcia!

Lilian makes her way down the ramp to a nice applause from the crowd. She steps through the ropes, receives a mic from The Pip, and waves to the fans, as the lights go down, and everyone places their hand over their hearts.

Spoiler: National Anthem

[Youtube]uN-7SRG3oRM[/youtube]​

The fans roar, as usual, for the last 2 lines, and a section reserved for soldiers at ringside, sheds a few tears.

Congratulations, guys! You’ve made it to pay-per-view!

Lilian steps out of the ring, and heads to the back. She turns, and gives a final wave before going through the curtain. The camera turns, revealing a mini-stage set up next to the ramp. The band Black Tide are there, finishing up their tuning and preparations.

And now, if you’d turn your attention to the stage, rock ‘n’ roll up-and-comers Black Tide are here to perform!

The fans all turn and cheer, as the band starts up.

Black Tide ~ Shockwave​

As the band finishes, green and silver pyros go off across the front of the entrance stage, and then all the way down the ramp, leading up to the ring. As the pyros hit the end, a huge “bang” goes off, and on the entrance stage, there’s two tall towers of green sparks, and between them, two shorter towers of silver sparks. The screen flashes the title of the show, and the crowd explodes at the sight. After a minute, music starts through the arena, and fake dollar bills fall from the rafters, featuring a picture of Mr. 487, with a cheesy smile, and two thumbs up.

Mr. 487
Pink Floyd ~ Money​

Mr. 487 makes his way down the ramp, offering autographs to a few fans at ringside, who all decline. He looks upset at this, and heads to his seat at the announce table, where he sits down, and puts on his headset. The Titantron fades, and the crowd begins to cheer, as the music starts for the fan’s favorite commentator, “The One” Big Will.

Spoiler: Titantron

[Youtube]cq9j5JaMEEU[/youtube]
“The One” Big Will
Alter Bridge ~ Metalingus​

Will gets a much different reaction, as the fans stand and cheer for him, and chant “You the man” as he proceeds down the ramp, heading to the announce table. He pauses for a minute to shake the hands of the servicemen, and women, that have made it to the show. He grabs his headset, and sits down next to Mr. 487, who is still steamed at his rather poor ovation from the crowd.

Welcome fans, to tonight’s pay-per-view extravaganza. I’m Will, here with my broadcast colleague, Mr. 487, who seems to have his panties in a bit of a bunch. What’s the problem, man?

Everything. I do so much for this show, and I get no “thank you”. Why not? I’m twice the commentator you’ll ever be. You know what, don’t even bother with the show intro. Let’s just go to the Titantron, where a man that is three times the man you’ll ever be, is waiting to say a few words.

As the lights fade a little, the Titantron shows Mark E. laying in a hospital bed, wearing a bandage around his head, a neck brace, a cast on his left wrist, and a full leg cast on his right leg, which is hanging in a harness. He’s in a hospital bed, with a familiar looking redhead feeding him soup with a silver spoon, out of a gold plated bowl.

Thanks for having me, Mr. 487. I love everything you do for this company, and it shows, week in, and week out.

The crowd boos loudly, causing Mr. 487 to turn red, showing obvious anger. He yells at them to shut up, and only makes them boo louder. Will is trying to hold in his laughter, but it’s nearly impossible. He tries to drink some water, but it comes right back out, all over Mr. 487’s paperwork and shirt.

Oh, great. Wonderful. You know what, Will? You’re pathetic. How do you still have a job? Oh, I remember. You’re a former five-time champ, in a second-rate company, and you think that earns you some level of respect. No respect from me, buddy.

“The One” Big Will rises from his chair, and Mr. 487 dives for the floor, frantically trying to escape Will’s anger. Will sits back down, and turns his attention back to Mark E.

So, Mark E. We were told you had something to say about the matches your men are in tonight. Shane Douglas is in a Three Way Dance, Jack Swagger faces off with Mikey Whipwreck, and Hatebreed will be in tag action against Tajiri and Jerry Lynn. What do you think their chances are?

It doesn’t matter who they’re facing. I’d love to say they’re going to go out there, and sweep their matches, and put this tragedy behind them. But, it appears that Matthew and Zachary have it out for us. They don’t like seeing us succeed. Mikey Whipwreck, and his chickenshit manager had to stick their nose in our business, and they’ll get what’s coming to them tonight. Swagger is a great man, and will handle things the way he does best. Hatebreed is the best tag team in NSCW. I have no doubts about them tonight.

I agree, wholeheartedly. Whipwreck, Gunnz, Lynn, and Tajiri are nothing but chumps. You should have no worries, as you lie there and eat your soup, and drink some wine. Like that nurse you hired there too. Where’d you find her?

We don’t need to hear about your nurse, or how comfortable you are in that bed. What we need to know, is what you think about the Three Way Dance, and this supposed feud that Zachary and Matthew have with you.

You see, Will. They go hand in hand. Matt and Zachary know that Shane is the crown jewel of my team, and they obviously feel that if they can use their bullies to take him out, that I’ll just go away, and they won’t have to see me anymore. Well, I’ll tell you what. It won’t happen. Shane is going to walk out of that match a winner, and what he does to those two, will leave the blood on the hands of Zachary and Matthew. Now, excuse me as I rest my head, and watch the rest of the show.

You’re a true hero, Mark E. You rest up, and we’ll be back to check in with you again later.

Now that that’s out of the way, let’s get ready for our first match! Are you excited Mr. 487?

No reason to be excited, Will. We all know who will win; the match is just a technicality.

“The Whole F’n Show” Rob Van Dam
Saliva ~ Ladies And Gentlemen​

Once the song picks up, a quick shot of pyros shoots up from the ramp, and Rob Van Dam enters through the curtain to a rousing ovation. He stops midways down the ramp, and points to his back, doing his signature pose. He finishes the walk down the ramp, and leaps up to the apron, and flips himself over the top rope, rolling across the ring, and then jumping to the opposite turnbuckle, posing for the crowd.

Standing at six feet tall, and weighing in tonight at two hundred and thirty seven pounds, he is “The Whole F’n Show”…Rob Van Dam!

RVD jumps down from the turnbuckles, and does some stretches in his corner, as the Titantron announces the entrance of his opponent.

Spoiler: Titantron

Eric Young
Blind Melon ~ Galaxie (Instrumental, minus intro)​

Lights flash through the arena as the song starts, and Eric Young quickly bursts through the curtain, and gets a decent pop from the crowd, as he shakes some hands on the way to the ring. He rolls under the bottom rope, and holds his hands high, as The Pip introduces him for t he match.

His opponent, weighing in at two hundred twenty five pounds, and standing at five feet, eleven inches tall…Eric Young!

The crowd continues to cheer as he heads to his corner. The ref checks out both men, making sure neither is hiding anything.

Both men circle each other as the ref calls for the bell, and they shake hands in the center of the ring before locking up. Van Dam uses his slight size advantage to muscle Young into the corner, where the ref calls for a break. RVD breaks cleanly, and Young steps out. They circle each other again, until RVD goes for a sweep, forcing Eric Young to leap into the air, before Van Dam counters with a spinning heel kick. Young lands in a full split, ducking under the kick. As Van Dam lands on the mat, Young grabs his leg, and pulls him down to the mat, before getting to his feet, and delivering an elbow drop. He goes for a second, but Van Dam rolls out of the way, and then uses the middle rope to springboard backwards, and delivers a leg drop across Young’s chest. He jumps to his feet, and leaps into the air, coming down with both legs across the chest of his opponent. He runs off the far rope, but as he rebounds, Young rolls over, and RVD jumps over him. As he comes back, Young gets to his feet, and hip tosses Van Dam to the mat. Van Dam gets to his feet, only to catch another hip toss from Young. As he rolls to his feet, and turns towards Young, Young attempts another hip toss, but this time, Van Dam lands on his feet. Young turns towards his opponent, and catches a side kick on the chin, slamming him to the mat. Van Dam goes to the corner, and gathers himself as Young lies on the mat. Before Young starts to stir, RVD pulls him up, and whips him into the corner. He chases after him, and delivers a back elbow to the side of Eric’s head. He goes for a second one, and right after connecting, gets shoved out of the corner. Young jumps to the middle turnbuckle, and flies off, attempting a bulldog, but Van Dam shoves him off, crashing him to the mat on his lower back. Young stays seated, holding his lower back, with a grimace on his face. Van Dam delivers three sharp kicks in succession to his back, before grabbing his head, and flipping over, with a snapping neck breaker. Young falls to his back, and is holding his neck now. Van Dam goes for the quick cover, but only gets a one, as Young rolls the shoulder.

Van Dam has had control of this match from the beginning, but may have gone for the cover a bit too early. Young is a great competitor, and it’ll take more than a quick combo to keep him down.

What are you talking about? RVD has dominated, and that should have been enough to put a jobber like Young away.

Van Dam kneels on the mat, pondering his next move, as Young rolls away from him. Young uses the ropes to get to a knee, and the wrestlers look at each other from across the ring. Both men get to their feet at the same time, and RVD makes the first move, charging at Young. EY drops to the mat, and pulls the top rope down, sending RVD over and out. Young gets up in the ring, but didn’t see Van Dam land on his feet. RVD grabs his ankles, and pulls him to the mat, smashing his face into the canvas. He drags him out of the ring, and the two men begin to exchange lefts and rights on the outside, right in front of where the soldiers are seated.

There you go Rob! No more playing nice. Take it to him!

So much for playing fair, eh? I’ll admit though, that this match may have just picked up, big time. These men are not known for brawling, but they can still throw some haymakers when the task calls for it.

With neither man gaining an advantage, Van Dam ends the fists, and lands a hard, snapping kick to the side of Young’s thigh. Young falls to a knee, and catches another hard kick to Young’s arm. Young tries to block the next kick, but can’t get his arm up in time, and Van Dam’s foot catches him on the side of the head, taking the life out of him. The ref’s count is at 7, and RVD rolls into the ring to break the count, before rolling back outside. He helps Young up, and leans him against the ring post, before walking the length of the ring; doing his “R-V-D” pose along the way. He turns around, and measures up his opponent. He sprints the length of the ring, and attempts a running enziguiri, but Young ducks! Van Dam’s leg smashes into the post, and he crashes to the concrete. Young uses the ring to hold himself up, and looks down on his fallen opponent. He helps Van Dam up, who is favoring his right leg. Young tries to whip him down the length of the ring, but he falls halfway. Young dives in the ring to break the ref count, and then gets to his feet, looking over the ropes at RVD. The ref restarts his count, and gets to 6, before Van Dam shows any signs of life. As he gets to his feet, Young dives over the top rope, landing on top of RVD on the floor. He gets to his feet, and pulls up RVD, before tossing him in, under the bottom rope. He uses the stairs to get to the apron, and then climbs to the top turnbuckle. As Van Dam uses the ropes to get to his feet, Eric connects with a missile dropkick. With Van Dam on the mat, Young drops a knee to his chest, and then an elbow. He grabs a hold of Van Dam’s leg, and lock on an ankle lock with a grapevine. RVD tries to break the hold, but eventually just grabs the rope, breaking the hold. Young gets to his feet, and waits for Van Dam to get up, before connecting with a right hand. Van Dam is sent back into the ropes, and Young lands a series of chops to his opponent’s chest. The ref gives Young a five count, which he obeys, stopping the onslaught at four. Van Dam makes his way to the corner, and is caught by a running shoulder from Young. Young delivers another one, before grabbing Van Dam’s arm, and tossing him back to the middle of the ring. He turns to follow him, but is caught with a slap to the chest, and then another. He grabs his chest, as it turns bright red, and is unable to block a spinning heel kick from Van Dam. Van Dam, with the injured leg, falls to the mat, and crawls to the ropes, using them for leverage to get to his feet. Young gets to a seated position, and catches a dropkick to the back, and he falls back to the mat. Van Dam gets to his feet, clutching his knee, and makes his way, slowly, to the top rope. He seats himself on the top rope, and does his signature pose, before standing atop the turnbuckle. He does the pose one more time, before flying off, landing a beautiful five star frog splash onto Young. The ref checks the shoulders, and counts the three count, giving Rob Van Dam the win!

The crowd explodes as Van Dam rolls off his opponent, and lies on the mat gathering himself. The ref raises his hand, marking him as the victor, and Mr. 487 is ecstatic.

I told you, Will! I told you RVD would win! He put on one hell of a show, and did just what he said he would. He stole the show! There’s no way that anyone that isn’t in Mark E.’s stable can top that!

He sure did put on an amazing show, but if I remember correctly, it was Eric that said they could steal the show. Both men were great, and it will be tough to top that display.

Back in the ring, Van Dam and Young have gotten to their feet. RVD is still favoring his leg, while Young holds the back of his neck. They look oddly at each other, and then RVD extends his hand, acknowledging the performance Young and him just put on. Young reaches out, shakes his hand, and the crowd cheers. The two wrestlers leave together, as Saliva plays over the sound system.

I just gained a ton of respect for RVD. He knew that match was nothing personal, and respected the effort that Young gave. That’s the mark of a true winner.

You would, you know that? That’s a bunch of crap. RVD had no reason to shake Young’s hand, or walk out with him. Being a “nice” winner gets you nowhere. It makes you weak. Speaking of weak, let’s go to the back, where Dee Dragon is talking to the former NSCW Television champion.

As the camera changes to the back, British Bulldog is pacing around the room, wringing his hands together, as Princess Bex stands next to Dee, awaiting the interview.

Thanks for having us here Dee. Obviously, Davey is in no mood to talk, and has a very important match tonight. Kane has tried, unsuccessfully, to destroy his career, and tonight, it ends. Davey is a good man, no matter what they say, and no matter what they may believe. We’re not happy at the results of the fan vote, but it won’t matter. Davey is prepared for all of those matches, and will walk out with his gold tonight.

It sounds so nice, but I don’t believe for a second that the British Bulldog is prepared. He’s faced Kane before, but never under these circumstances, and certainly never returning from a hospital stay. In fact, I’m pretty sure that Kane is going to leave with the gold. You’d be smart to listen to them, see the light, and do the right thing.

Princess Bex opens her mouth to respond, but words escape her. She tries again, but all that comes from her is a tear. She turns to look at Bulldog, and then back to the camera quickly, still speechless. She wipes her cheek, as Dee begins to smile slyly. Davey notices what’s going on, and rushes to the camera, stealing the mic from Dee’s grip.

What do you think you’re doing Dee? Can’t you see she’s having a tough time dealing with all this? She knows this match is going to brutal, and she’s seen the toll it’s taken on me, physically, and mentally, and knows it’s still got a long way to go. Why don’t you just leave, and quit bothering the poor girl. If you want to know what I think about the match tonight, it’s as simple as this. I’m going to brutalize Kane. If C.C.S. dares to stand in my path, he’ll get his. I’m leaving with my title tonight, by any means necessary.

Bulldog puts his arm around his manager, and consoles her as Dee and the cameraman leave the room. He tries to console her, telling her not to worry, but the look of despair won’t leave her face. The camera switches back to the announce table, where Mr. 487 and The One Big Will both look stunned at what they just witnessed.

I can’t believe what Dee just did. She was asked to do the interview, and that was it. Instead, she just toyed with Bex’s emotions, and tore that poor girl apart. It’s easy to see that British Bulldog is primed for tonight’s match. I almost feel sorry for Kane.

Sorry for Kane? Why? Kane is going to tear Bulldog limb from limb, and he’s going to enjoy doing it. Bulldog could have avoided all of this, if he would have just seen the light, and followed the path that Kane and C.C.S. have set behind them. No, he needed to try and stand up for whatever it is he believes, and it got him this match tonight. We’ll see later, just who the better man is, and who will walk out with the gold. Until then, let’s enjoy the next match.

All of that is uncalled for. C.C.S. has obviously got Kane under his greasy little finger, and is playing him like a puppet. He’ll use Kane as long as he needs him, and be done with him. There is no “light” on that side. I’ve got my full support behind Bulldog tonight, and can’t wait to see him retain his title. Like you said though, we’ll have to wait and see the match later, to know for sure. Speaking of title matches, look what’s next!

Twin Method
Twin Method ~ Fake​

As the music picks up, green and red lights flash throughout the arena, signaling the entrance of the number one contenders for the tag titles. CM Punk and Hurricane Helms enter the arena, and the crowd jumps to their feet. They get a loud cheer as they make their way down the ramp, and to the ring. Helms climbs the close set of stairs, as Punk rounds the ring, and climbs the other set. At the same time, they climb to the top turnbuckle, and pose for the crowd. As they enter the ring and remove their vests, the music stops and the Titantron changes, announcing the entrance of their opponents for the night.

Vladimir Kozlov & Umaga
Apocalyptica ~ Path​

There’s darkness throughout the arena, as the music builds, and you can barely see CM Punk, Helms, or The Pip in the ring. Suddenly, the champions march through the curtain, and walk down the ramp, barely noticing the silence surrounding them. They stand next to the ring, and simultaneously remove their belts, before holding them high for their opponents to see. They roll in under the bottom rope, and head to the opposite corner, and the spotlight fades as the lights return. The referee begrudgingly takes the belts from them, and holds them up for the crowd, as The Pip raises the mic, ready for the introductions.

This next match, is scheduled for one fall, and is for the NSCW Tag Team championship! First, to my left, the challengers. Weighing in at a combined four hundred thirty seven pounds…They are the team of CM Punk and Hurricane Helms…Twin Method!

The crowd pops again, as they pose once more, which brings a look of distaste to the champs.

Their opponents, to my right. They weigh in at six hundred fifty two pounds, and are the tag team champions…The team of Umaga and Vladimir Kozlov!

There’s a handful of boos, but most fans look afraid to react. The Pip quickly leaves the ring, as Kozlov takes charge, signaling he’ll start the match for the champs. Punk and Helms strategize in their corner, and finally decide on Helms to start. The two men high-five, before Punk steps through the ropes, and Helms turns to face the mountain of a man he’ll be squaring off against.

Helms takes a step back, and slams against the turnbuckle. The ref gets Kozlov back into his own corner, and calls for the bell. Before Helms can ready himself, Kozlov charges across the ring, and sandwiches him into the turnbuckle. Punk reaches in, and tries to shove Kozlov away, but he doesn’t budge. He swats Punk away, and then grabs a handful of hair on Helms. He pulls him to his feet, and leans him against the corner. He balls a fist, and lands a heavy right hand on to the chest of his opponent. Helms crumples into him, and quickly gets shoved back against the corner. Kozlov lands another hard right hand, and then whips Helms across the ring, slamming him into the turnbuckle forcefully. Helms hits with a thud, and slams down to the canvas. Kozlov takes his time getting across the ring, and drops his knee into the back of Helms’ neck when he gets to him. As he buries his knee into his opponent, he grabs the far arm, and torques it back, stretching the muscles and tendons in Helms’ chest and shoulder. Helms lets out a sharp cry, and kicks helplessly at the ropes. Umaga taunts Helms, drawing Punk into the ring, distracting the ref. Umaga leaps down to the floor, and pulls on Helms’ legs, adding to the pressure on his upper body. The ref turns around in time to see the double team, and calls for the break. Kozlov stands, and leans over Helms, taunting him, and slapping him in the face. Helms tries to lurch away from his opponent, but Kozlov grabs his ankle, and drives his knee into the mat. Before Helms can even react, Kozlov grabs his other leg, and does the same. Helms lies still on the mat, as Kozlov drops a knee down between his shoulder blades, and then grabs his arms, and pulls them up, stretching them out behind him. Helms again can’t move away to break the hold, and his legs aren’t long enough to reach the ropes. After a few seconds of not being able to break it, CM Punk rushes the ring to make the save, and uses a shining wizard to knock Kozlov off of his partner. It breaks the hold, but doesn’t knock Kozlov very far. He’s immediately up, and chases after Punk, allowing Helms to roll to the outside for a breather. It’s not long before Umaga is on top of him, pulling back on his neck, while dropping his weight on the rest of his body. Kozlov turns around, and shouts something to his partner, and Umaga instantly stops the attack, and hops back on to the apron. Kozlov rolls outside, and throws Helms back in the ring through the ropes. He climbs on the apron himself, and steps through the ropes, before grabbing Helms’ shirt, and dragging him to his corner, next to Umaga. He seats him against the turnbuckle, and delivers two quick boots to his chest, before burying his boot under the chin, and tagging in Umaga.

This is the last thing the contenders need right now. Kozlov has absolutely decimated Helms, barely breaking a sweat, and now he’s bringing in his fresh partner, Umaga, to seemingly finish the job.

There is no “seemingly” here, Will. Umaga is going to finish off Helms here, and the champs are walking out with gold, and they don’t even need to break a sweat. We saw this on THROWDOWN, so why think it’d be any different here? It’s almost too bad we didn’t get to see Punk in action.

As Mr. 487 laughs at Helms’ impending demise in the ring, Umaga has set up across the ring, and Kozlov has exited the ring, and is waiting on the apron. Umaga shouts something incomprehensible, and then makes a full speed sprint across the ring. He jumps into the air, and turns, in an attempt to squash Helms’ lifeless body. As he is coming down, Helms rolls to the side, and Umaga crashes hard. Kozlov looks stunned, and Punk is standing on the bottom rope, reaching far into the ring, trying to will his partner to their corner. Helms takes a second to collect himself, and then begins to crawl away from Umaga and Kozlov in the corner. Hurricane makes it halfway across the ring, and Kozlov rushes in and delivers a stomp to the back of his head, ending his progress. Kozlov grabs him by his hair, as the ref tries frantically to get the big Russian out of the ring. Kozlov throws Helms down in front of Umaga, and then shrugs his partner awake. He steps through the ropes, giving the ref an evil glare, as he berates the attack. Umaga grabs a hold of Hurricane’s leg, and sets it up on the bottom turnbuckle, before climbing to the middle rope himself. Umaga shifts his weight, and falls backwards, towards Helms leg. Helms is again able to move out of the way, and Umaga crashes to the mat, holding his bottom. Helms looks around the arena, trying to find his partner, before spotting him across the ring. Hurricane reaches for the ropes, and gets to his knees, before Kozlov rakes his boot across his fingers, breaking his grasp.

If Helms can get to his partner, Punk might be able to turn this match around. He’s countered two big moves, and is on his way to bringing his partner in for the save.

I don’t know what match you’re watching Will, but it isn’t this one. Sure, Helms has countered two powerhouse moves by Umaga, but he still hasn’t made the tag. Until then, he’s at the mercy of these two monsters.

Helms turns away from his opponents, and begins to inch his way towards his own corner. Punk is practically touching the mat, leaning far into the ring, trying to make Helms journey that much shorter. Helms is inches away from bringing in his partner, when Umaga grabs a hold of his foot, and tries to drag him back to the center. Helms pulls himself up to a standing position, and finds his balance on one foot. He tries to reach for Punk still, but to no avail. Umaga gives one more pull, but it’s countered, as Hurricane delivers a spinning enziguiri, releasing the hold on his foot. As he hits the mat, he immediately springs towards his corner, and tags the outstretched hand of CM Punk. As soon as the ref recognizes the tag, Punk leaps to the top turnbuckle, and delivers a diving fist onto the forehead of Umaga. It doesn’t have any effect, and Umaga is immediately to his feet, but Punk delivers a standing dropkick, staggering the big Samoan backwards. Before Umaga can catch his balance, Punk delivers a discus punch to the chest of his opponent, and then goes to work with forehand and backhand chops. Punk goes to deliver a straight left hand, but is met by Kozlov’s boot mid-swing. The ref admonishes Kozlov again, and reminds him he can lose the belts via disqualification. Punk is up to all fours on the mat, and Umaga and Kozlov stand over him, measuring their next move. As the men tower over Punk, Helms uses him as a springboard, and delivers a double clothesline, knocking them into the ropes. Umaga and Kozlov are able to stay in the ring, but are quickly hit with double dropkicks, sending them over the top, and down to the floor below. As the big men lie there, Punk and Helms set up across the ring, and follow up by diving over the top ropes, splashing onto their opponents. Helms then walks around the ring, and takes his place on the apron, as Punk rolls in, and awaits the ref’s count. At 4, Kozlov is on his knees, and working towards the steel ring steps. Umaga doesn’t stir until 6, and doesn’t get to his feet until 8. Punk is bouncing in the ring, shifting his weight from foot to foot, and awaiting his opponent. At the ref’s count of 9, Umaga rolls into the ring, and promptly met by quick, snapping kicks from Punk. Punk continues to land kick after kick to the ribs and abdomen, but it doesn’t slow Umaga from getting to his feet. Punk grabs his arm, and attempts an Irish whip, but is stalled by his much larger opponent. Umaga tries to reverse the move, but Punk leaps to the top rope, and springs back with an elbow, connecting with Umaga’s chin, and knocking him off his feet. He goes for the cover, but Umaga kicks out at one, before Punk can hook the leg. Punk then drops a knee on Umaga, and then sits him up, before applying a reverse chin lock. As the referee checks for a choke, Umaga gets to his feet, and twists his body wildly, trying to shake Punk off his back, but Punk wrenches the hold on tighter, and finally gets Umaga back to the mat, face down, just inches from the ropes. Umaga is able to grab the ropes, and Punk rolls off, exhausted. He gets to his feet, and uses a low dropkick to keep his man down. He bounces off the far ropes, and attempts a baseball slide, but Umaga doesn’t budge. He quickly tags in Helms, and the two men attempt a second baseball slide, this time sending Umaga to the floor.

My, oh my, how the tides have turned. Kozlov and Umaga dominated the early portions of this title match, but it seems that CM Punk has breathed new life into this team. Not feeling so confident anymore, are you 487?

Of course I am. I’d bet anything the champions have those guys right where they want them…

Kozlov steps off the apron, and helps his partner to his feet, before they head to the far corner, and talk strategy. Umaga lets out a shout, gets a pat on the back from Kozlov, and rolls back into the ring. He rushes at Punk, but Punk ducks the clothesline, and Umaga ends up slamming his chest into the turnbuckle. Punk grabs his wrist, twists his arm, and makes the tag to Helms. As Helms climbs to the top rope, Punk pulls Umaga away from the corner, and then crouches behind him, as Helms flies off, landing a crossbody. He hooks the leg, and gets a 2, but Umaga is able to roll the shoulder. Helms kneels back, unsure how to keep his opponent down. He gets Umaga to his feet, and whips him into a neutral corner. He chases after him, and delivers a lifting knee to the lower back of the Samoan. As he sets up his next move, Kozlov runs the length of the apron, and uses a lariat to slam Helms to the canvas. Kozlov grabs Umaga’s arm, and helps him back to their corner, where he tags himself in. Kozlov and Umaga set their sights on Helms, and seat him on the top rope, before slamming him back into the ring with a double superplex! Helms bounces off the mat, and lands tangled in the bottom turnbuckle on the other side. Kozlov picks him up by his arm, and then sends him sailing back across the ring with a straight judo kick to the chest. Helms lands upright, but leaning against the turnbuckle, as Kozlov chases after him, delivering another kick to his chest. Helms falls to the mat, and reaches for his partner. Kozlov dives out of the ring, and crawls back in, with a steel chair in his hand. The ref grabs a hold of the chair, trying to pry it from Kozlov’s grip. Kozlov shoves the ref off, and turns around towards Helms. Helms dropkicks the chair into Kozlov’s head, and knocks him flat on the mat. The chair slides out of the ring, and the ref counts to three! Twin Method’s music begins to play through the arena, as the ref hands the new tag champions their belts.

No way! Twin Method should have been disqualified for using that chair!

Kozlov bought the chair into the ring, and he shoved the ref down to the mat. Let’s not get started on who should be disqualified. Let’s also not forget that the ref has admonished the former champions before in this match. Congratulations are in order for Twin Method! Erin is in the ring now with the new champions!

The music quiets, as the fans wait intently to hear what the new NSCW Tag Team champions have to say. Erin pauses while Helms and Punk put on their new belts, and pose for the crowd.

Congratulations guys! We’ve just witnessed the first tile change in the history of this company. How’s it feel to have the gold around your waists?

Helms tries to speak, but is holding his ribs, trying to catch his breath.

It feels great Erin. When we won the right to be number one contenders, we knew we were going to have to cash in at a major event. BLACK TIDE seemed like the perfect place, and boy, were we right. They gave us one hell of a match, but we never gave up, and Hurricane here brought home the gold for us.

They brought the fight, but we never gave up hope. We had to fight until the very last second of that match. It paid off, though. Now we can walk out of here with some extra gold, and celebrate the night away!

Where do you guys go from here? Is there a re-match in the future for the former champs?

I’m sure they’ll cash in their rematch clause, and we’ll be ready for whatever they throw at us. We’re going to show we’re not one trick ponies. We look forward to keeping this gold for a long, long time.

The champs pose one more time, as their music begins again, and they head to the back. The camera follows them halfway up the ramp, and then changes to the back, where Jammy is standing by with Jack Swagger. Swagger has his trademark grin on his face, while Jammy is busy looking at the rest of him. He gives her a nod, and then starts to speak.

Well, well, well. Here we find ourselves Mikey. If you and Gunnz had kept your noses out of our business, you wouldn’t have to take the beating you’re about to get from me. It’s a real sad thing, what happened to Mark E. I’m torn to pieces over it. To try and cheer myself up, as well as Mark E., because we all know he’s watching from his hospital bed, I’m going to tear you to pieces. Win, lose, or draw, this will end tonight. Not because I’ll stop hating you, but because there won’t be anything left to hate. I’m the “All-American American”, and you…You’re a joke.

Swagger does his chest pound, before stepping away from the camera. The camera stays on Jammy, who is still eyeing the NSCW superstar, as he makes his way towards the curtain.

I’m so glad that Jammy was able to ask the hard-hitting questions there. I’m sure you thought that was Interview Of The Year.

You’re damn right, I do. Jack Swagger is a great man, and a better wrestler. It’s only too bad that Mark E. couldn’t be with us here tonight.

Mr. 487 grabs a tissue, and wipes a tear from his eye, as the Titantron comes to life, marking the beginning of the next match.

Jack Swagger
SOiL ~ Pride​

After the short drum intro, spotlights swarm the arena. One stops on the curtain as Swagger walks through, does his chest pound, and shouts at the crowd. Even as he berates most of the fans, they still cheer him. He jumps onto the ring apron, and steps through the ropes, as The Pip gives his introduction.

Entering the ring, and standing at six feet six inches tall, and weighing two hundred sixty three pounds, he is the “All-American American”…Jack Swagger!

The lights stop, and the Titantron stops. As the music fades, the image on the Titantron changes, and Swagger’s opponent makes his way through the curtain.

Mikey Whipwreck
System Of A Down ~ Shimmy​

The music starts as soon as Whipwreck hits the stage, and Gunnz follows shortly after. Gunnz stands behind Whipwreck, arms crossed over his chest. Mikey starts to head bang with the music, and then charges the ring, before diving in under the bottom rope. He springs to his feet, directly in front of Swagger, as Gunnz is just getting to the bottom of the ramp. He stays on the outside, but circles the ring, stopping in front of Will and 487’s announcing table. Swagger backs into his corner, as Whipwreck poses for the fans. He gets a loud cheer as he readies himself for the match in his own corner.

His opponent, to my right, weighing in at one hundred, eighty seven pounds, and standing at five feet, seven inches tall…Mikey Whipwreck!

The ref calls for the bell, and the two men meet in the center of the ring. Both men are jabbering, and Swagger is poking Whipwreck in the chest. Whipwreck answers with a right hook to Swagger’s chin, staggering him backwards, as he checks his lip for blood. He nods for a second, and then hits Whipwreck in the chest with a lifting knee. He grabs a handful of hair, and tosses Whipwreck through the ropes, and crashing to the floor, where he rolls into the announce table. The ref tries to count, but Swagger is following Mikey out, before he gets to 1. Swagger gives Mikey a boot to the ribs, and then stomps down on his back. As Mikey lies on the floor, Swagger rolls back in at 8, to break the ref’s count-out attempt. He immediately rolls right back out, and helps Mikey to his feet, before dropping him on the concrete with a scoop slam. He drops a leg across Mikey’s chest, and then buries his knee into the armpit, as he locks up the arm with his right arm, and delivers punches to the chest with his other hand. Gunnz comes over, in an attempt to stop Swagger’s offense, and pulls him off. Swagger shoves him backwards, right into the ring post. Gunnz grabs a hold of his head, and leans on the apron, trying to collect himself. Swagger yells at The Pip to get out of his chair, and then folds it up, before setting his sights on Gunnz. The ref has stopped counting, and is now pleading with Swagger to drop the chair.

He can’t use that! If he hits Gunnz with that chair, he’d be disqualified! C’mon ref! Break this up! Count him out!

He wouldn’t be disqualified, Will! Gunnz isn’t an active member of the roster! Even if he was, he’s not in the match! Swagger can hit him all he wants with the chair!

Mr. 487 continues laughing, as Swagger lifts the chair, and smacks Gunnz in the chest with it, and then over the back, laying him out on the mat. He then straightens out the chair, and lines it up with the back of Gunnz’s neck, before lifting it in the air. Before he can bring it down, Whipwreck is behind him, and gives him a forearm smash to the lower back. Swagger drops the chair, turns around, and slams Mikey’s head into the apron. Mikey falls back to the floor, and Swagger goes back to stomping on his chest. The ref pushes him away again, threatening to ring the bell if he doesn’t stop. Swagger looks at him arrogantly, and then picks up Whipwreck, and throws him over his shoulder. He walks to the stairs, and then up, and into the ring. He tosses him over the top rope, landing him on his back in the ring. Swagger seats himself on the top rope, and then drops a knee to Mikey’s forehead. He runs to the far end of the ring, rebounds off the ropes, and then lands a seated senton onto Mikey’s chest. He gets to his feet, and mocks the crowd, taking his time setting up his next move. While he’s parading around the ring, Mikey gets to a knee, catching Jack Swagger’s attention. Swagger goes to kick him in the ribs, but Mikey lands a punch to the gut. He gets to his feet, and lands another punch, before landing a backhand chop across Swagger’s chest. He swings again, but Swagger ducks, and then takes him down with an Olympic slam. Mikey lands hard on the back of his head, and Swagger sits in front of him, with a cocky grin on his face. He rolls out of the ring, and grabs Mikey’s foot, dragging him out after him. Once he has Mikey halfway out of the ring, he grabs his ankles in a body scissor, and then falls backwards, snapping Mikey against the bottom rope. Whipwreck slides out of the ring, and leans against the apron, holding his throat. Swagger gets to his feet, and then whips Mikey the length of the ring, slamming him into the guardrail. He gives chase, and uses a clothesline to knock him into the fans. He sets himself up on the barrier, and lands a diving elbow onto Mikey’s chest. He grabs a handful of hair again, and starts hammering away with right hands, drawing some blood from the nose of his opponent. The ref’s count is at 7, and now Gunnz is climbing over the barrier, with a furious look on his face. Swagger sees this, and makes a beeline for the barrier, diving over, as Gunnz tries to revive Mikey. Swagger stumbles over, landing on the floor, but dives under the bottom rope, just as the ref counts 10, and collects the win! Swagger’s music blasts through the arena, as he climbs to the top rope, pounding his chest, and mocking the crowd. On the outside, Gunnz is still helping up Whipwreck, staring a hole through Jack Swagger.

That was bogus. No way that this match should go down in the record books. Swagger did nothing but bully Mikey throughout the match, and barely got in the ring in time to avoid the count-out.

Aw, it’s OK, Will. You’re just upset your guy lost. Personally, I’m happy that Swagger proved who the better man is, and proved his doubters, namely you, wrong. It doesn’t matter that he barely avoided the loss. It matters that he won. I’m sure Mark E. is smiling somewhere right now, looking forward to the rest of his men wrestling tonight.

What is with all of the crazy Mark E. love? It’s a little unhealthy. Don’t you have a wife, or something?

I have a girlfriend. And no, it’s not “love”. We have a special bond as friends.

Is that 1800Flowers that you’re looking at over there?

Mr. 487 turns his computer away from Will, as Will laughs, shaking his head in disbelief.

Raven
Slipknot ~ Left Behind​

The noise of ravens cawing can be heard as the music starts, and then Raven walks through the curtain, and slowly proceeds down the ramp.

This next match is scheduled for one fall, and will be contested under Extreme Rules! Entering the arena first, standing at six foot one, and weighing in at two hundred forty five pounds, Raven!

Raven stops at the bottom, and doing his trademark pose. He climbs up the stairs, and then steps through the ropes, before taking a seat in the opposite corner. He keeps his head down, and his hair in his face, before the music changes, announcing his opponent for the night.

LuFisto
Smashing Pumpkins ~ Zero​

After the guitar intro, a loud bang sends two large pyros into the roof of the arena as LuFisto enters through the curtain. She throws her hands in the air, posing for the crowd, with a 2x4 in her hand, wrapped in barbed wire, with bits of glass glued to it.

His opponent, weighing in at one hundred forty pounds, and standing at five feet one inch tall, she is the Super Hardcore Anime…LuFisto!

LuFisto takes a few steps down the ramp, but is stopped, as Raven grabs a mic.

I went easy on you once, and it cost me. You came out here, distracted me during my match with Rey, and made me lose. I don’t care what you have to say for yourself, I’m getting my payback tonight.

LuFisto gets a sad look on her face, and shakes her head in disbelief. She points at Raven, and shouts at him.

It doesn’t need to be this way Raven! I wasn’t trying to hurt you! I just wanted to talk!

Raven throws the microphone at her, and then exits through the ropes, and charges up the ramp at her. The ref calls for the bell, and LuFisto swings the lumber at Raven connecting with his stomach, and sending him down to the steel ramp. She lifts it over her head again, aiming for Raven’s face, but he barely rolls out of the way. He rolls off the ramp, and LuFisto follows after him. As she gets to the edge, he grabs both her legs, and pulls her down, hitting her head on the ramp, as the piece of wood goes sliding down towards the ring. Raven lands a few clubbing forearms to her abdomen, and then holds her legs in the air, before landing a straight left hand to the groin. LuFisto lets out a yelp, and rolls to the side, holding herself in pain. Raven reaches into the crowd, and grabs a chair, before returning his attention to his opponent. By now, LuFisto is crawling down the ramp, trying to get to her weapon. Raven hops back on the ramp, and slams the chair down into LuFisto’s ankle. She falls flat, grasping at her leg, as he brings the chair down over her back with a loud “smack”. LuFisto rolls to her back, and gets her feet up, to block the next chair swing by Raven. He tosses the chair to the side, and sits on her chest, before slapping her, leaving a set of finger marks on her cheek. She turns back towards him, her face beating red, and spits on him. Raven goes to land a punch, but LuFisto gets her arms under him, and sends him flying face first down the ramp. She jumps on his back, and pulls his head up with one hand, while swinging forearms into his face. She grabs a hold of either side of his mouth, and leans back, stretching out his face. Raven tries to scream, but all that comes out is a dribble of spit.

I hate to say this, but LuFisto definitely brought her “A” game tonight. Raven could be in trouble if she keeps this up.

At least you’re coming around now. LuFisto is a great hardcore wrestler, and Raven should’ve known what was coming. Don't forget, this match is just beginning. It can still go either way!

LuFisto releases the hold she has on Raven, and grabs two big handfuls of hair, before slamming his face onto the ramp. She gets off of him, and retrieves the weapon she brought to the ring with her. She turns around, and Raven is gone. She checks both sides of the ramp, before looking over the barrier. Raven jumps up, and throws a handful of powder into her face. She drops her weapon, and covers her eyes, trying to regain her vision. Raven hops onto the barrier, and dives with a clothesline, knocking LuFisto off her feet. He grabs her pigtails, and drags her to ringside, before checking under the ring for a weapon. He tosses aside a garbage pail lid, as well as a traffic cone, before settling on a crowbar. As he turns around, LuFisto rolls to her back, holding her head in pain, before pulling out the ties holding her hair up. Raven stands over her, glaring down at her as she realizes what he holds in his hand. Before she can cover her face, Raven smashes the crowbar into her forehead, and blood squirts out around the blow. He tosses the crowbar aside, and immediately drops a knee to the exposed wound. LuFisto tries to roll away, screaming in pain, but Raven won’t get off of her. Raven finally climbs off of her, and pulls her to her feet. LuFisto is hunched over in pain, as Raven backs away from her. He gives her a lifting knee to the chest, standing her up, and then delivers two stiff chops to her chest. LuFisto’s eyes widen, and she starts hammering chops and slaps onto Raven, backing him all the way to the ring. She winds up, and as she swings with a hard clothesline, Raven ducks to the side, causing her to miss, and spin around, with her back to the ring. Raven gives her a hard right hand across the chin, and she slumps to the floor. Raven stands over her, looking down, contemplating his next attack. He drags her to the stairs, and leans her against the ring post, before turning away, and pacing along the edge of the ring. LuFisto begins to stir, but Raven continues pacing, almost not noticing her come to life. She starts to get to her knees, and Raven snaps out of his trance-like state, and charges at her, knocking her into the ring post with a shoulder block. LuFisto bounces off, and levels Raven with a clothesline of her own. She grabs the crowbar that Raven had used earlier, and wipes the blood away from her face. She flings the blood at Raven, and he flinches, as some gets in his eyes. As he puts his arms up, she swings the crowbar like a golf club, connecting with his groin, and sending him down to the concrete.

You bitch! I’ll kill you! What the fuck!?

Good! I want the old Raven back! The Raven that would kill me, and then string me up from the rafters!

Wow. Strong words from the both of them. This is a sick relationship between these two. LuFisto wants Raven to hurt her, but it appears that Raven has had trouble with the killing blow. What’s the deal with these two?

Remember back in grade school? Boys and girls let them know how they felt by causing each other great pain. You’re married, you should know this!

Are you trying to say they’re falling for each other? How is that possible? Look at what they’re doing to each other out there!

LuFisto lifts the crowbar once more, but Raven straight kicks her in the knee, sending her to the floor in a heap. She throws the crowbar at him, barely missing his head, as he falls flat on the floor. Raven uses the ring apron to pull himself to his knees, and then gets to his feet, and rolls in the ring, gasping for air. LuFisto is stirring on the floor, but not quite up to her knees yet. Raven leans on the middle rope, looking out at her, as she staggers to her feet, and struggles to gain her balance. Raven grabs a handful of her hair, and she turns towards him, spitting a stream of blood into his face, before landing a right hand, sending him sailing back into the ring. She rolls under the bottom rope, and stands over Raven’s back, waiting for him to move. He gets himself to all fours, and she quickly locks in the rear naked choke, before wrapping her legs around his body, and squeezing the life out of him. Raven flings elbows at her, but they glance off, as she tightens the hold. Raven rolls back to his stomach, before using all of his strength to get to his feet. He falls backwards, crushing LuFisto between himself and the mat. He rolls off, clutching at his throat, gagging under the weight of the air rushing into his lungs. He sits up, staring at LuFisto, who is now covered in blood, as it runs down through her hair, and pools on the canvas. She turns to him, and mutters something incoherent, before spitting more blood in his direction. He jumps to his feet, and pulls her up, before applying a front facelock. Boos ring out from the crowd, as mothers cover their children’s eyes, and he plants her on the mat with an Evenflow DDT. He quickly stands up, and uses his boot to roll her over. Her eyes are shut, and she’s barely breathing. Panic overcomes him, and he begins screaming for help.

What’s he doing? He has her finished! Pin her, then worry about getting your little girlfriend help!

You truly are a…Wait. What happened to the lights?

The lights in the arena are all out, and not even emergency lights are shining in the arena.

HA HA HA HA! HA! HA HA! HA HA HA HA HA HA HA! HA HA HA!

As soon as the maniacal laughter stops, the lights all come on at once, and Raven can be seen laid out in the ring, blood covering his face, and coloring his hair an off shade of orange. LuFisto is lying over him, face down. The ref looks around, wondering what happened, and finally counts the pin fall, giving LuFisto the victory!

What the hell was that? LuFisto gets herself a win, because Raven was assaulted? This is BS, and you know it Will! Don’t try and sugar coat it!

I’m not going to sugarcoat anything. Whatever it was we just saw was downright disturbing. Raven and LuFisto had a truly great Extreme Rules Match, and as soon as Raven had a chance to lock up the win, things took a turn for the surreal. He called for help, feeling remorse for what he had done to LuFisto, and then the lights go down, and who knows what happened then. Fans, we’ll have an update as soon as information is available.

I…I don’t even know what else to say. I think it may be best for us to just go to the next match. Will, do you even have what’s up next? I’ve lost my train of thought.

Yeah. Next up is Big Bossman, with Piper in his corner, taking on Diamond Dallas Page. Let’s take a look at how this all began.

A video package is shown, recapping the match that started it all between Diamond Dallas Page and “Rowdy” Roddy Piper, and the showdowns that followed. A few fans are showing excitement, while others are still in shock over the outcome of the last match. As the package ends, a spotlight shows on The Pip, who is in the ring with introductions for the next match.

Big Bossman
Judas Priest ~ Breaking The Law​

As red and blue strobe lights pulse throughout the arena, Big Bossman steps through the curtain, waving his nightstick in the air, as Roddy Piper follows behind. Bossman stops at the bottom of the ramp to glare at a few drunken fans at ringside, before pulling out a pad, and writing what seems to be a fine. He rips off the paper, and shoves it in the face of the fan, before sliding under the bottom rope. Piper takes the longer route in, climbing the steps, and then stepping through the ropes. As the men get to their corner, empty cups and loose scraps of trash litter the ring.

In the ring, accompanied by “Rowdy” Roddy Piper…Weighing in at two hundred ninety pounds, and standing at six feet seven inches tall…Big Bossman

As the music stops, and The Pip raises the mic for the next introduction, Bossman rips the microphone from his hand, and climbs to the middle turnbuckle, yelling out at the crowd, threatening them with imprisonment for littering. Piper just shakes his head in agreement, as he makes his way out of the ring. Bossman runs to the opposite corner, and climbs to the middle rope, but is cut off before he can speak.

Diamond Dallas Page
The Offspring ~ Come Out ‘N Play​

Instead of “Gotta keep ‘em separated”, you hear “Self High Five”, and the crowd snaps out of their booing and goes straight into a chorus of cheers. Bossman tosses the mic down, and leans over the ropes facing the ramp, screaming at Page to join him in the ring. DDP gets to the bottom of the ramp, and tears off his vest, handing it to the fan that Bossman just fined. He lifts his hands in the air, and feels the BANG as pyros shoot up from the four ring posts. The Pip picks up the microphone, and finishes his introductions.

His opponent, making his way to the ring tonight at two hundred fifty three pounds, and standing at six feet, five inches tall…Diamond…Dallas…Page!

Bossman continues to shout at DDP on the outside, but DDP doesn’t budge. Piper even comes around the side of the ring, flapping his arms, mocking DDP, and calling him a chicken. DDP fakes a run at Piper, and dives under the bottom rope, sliding between Bossman’s legs, and popping up behind him.

The bell rings, and Bossman turns around into a straight left hand that catches him off balance, and sends him sailing to the outside, landing on the concrete next to Piper. Page is pumped in the ring, and runs off the opposite ropes, before performing a suicide dive, landing squarely on Piper’s head, knocking him backwards onto Bossman. Page jumps to his feet, and runs back into the ring, as the ref utilizes his count on Bossman. Piper rolls off of him at 3, and helps him to his feet by 5. Bossman walks around the side of the ring, before hopping up to the apron. Page gets in a fighting stance, daring Bossman to come for him. Bossman steps through the ropes slowly, and charges at Page but gets pulled to the mat with a drop toehold. DDP keeps the hold applied, and grabs the near arm of Bossman before applying a chickenwing. Bossman reaches for the ropes, but Page buries his knee deeper into the back of his leg, stopping his progress. Bossman finally gets his arm free, and lunges for the ropes, breaking the hold. Page gets to his feet, but keeps a hold of Bossman’s leg, yanking him off the rope, and back to the middle of the ring. Bossman rolls to his back, and tries to kick off DDP, but only gets his leg caught. Page looks to the crowd, and drops a knee to the “lower midsection”, forcing Bossman to curl up in pain. Page takes his time circling the ring, but Piper catches his eye, and the two shout back and forth, long enough for Bossman to get to his feet. The ref gets between Page and Piper, trying to separate them, and doesn’t see Bossman retrieve his nightstick from his corner. Bossman creeps behind Page, and brings the nightstick down over his back, before tossing it aside. The ref turns around to look at Bossman as the weapon slides off the apron, and out to the floor. Page falls to the mat, and Piper grabs him by the chin, wrenching his neck backwards over the edge of the ring. Page lets out a scream, but Piper releases the choke before the ref turns around.

I don’t care what you say 487, that’s illegal. If the ref doesn’t gain control of this match, Page is going to get seriously injured. I’m sure that’s what Piper and Bossman set out to do tonight, but it’s not right by any means.

Didn’t you see what Page did to Piper? He put him in a neck brace, and I know from experience how embarrassing that can be. He deserves all he gets in that ring.

You know full well that Piper was acting out that injury to get Bossman to fight his battles for him. The sign of a true coward.

Bossman grabs an arm and leg on Page, and turns him sideways, parallel with the ropes. He turns around and runs off the far ropes, before splashing onto Page’s prone body. He gets a 1 count before DDP can grab the bottom rope. Bossman gets to his feet and runs off the far ropes again, but this time splashes down on the mat, as Page rolls out of the ring. Page takes a breather on the outside, and rolls back into the ring at 5. Bossman is on a knee across the ring, and gets a knee to the back before he can get to his feet. Page wraps the arm up in a chickenwing again, and drops both knees onto the elbow joint. Page sets the arm again, and drops both knees. He pulls the arm straight out as he gets to his feet, and torques the wrist, adding pressure to Bossman’s arm, pulling him to his feet as well. Bossman reaches for the ropes, but Page uses his leverage to whip Bossman across the ring. As Bossman comes back off the ropes, Page goes for a clothesline that barely has any effect. He whips Bossman off the ropes again, and the clothesline barely has any effect again. He whips him into the corner, and charges after him with a shoulder to the mid-section. Bossman grabs a handful of hair, and gets out of the corner before smashing Page’s face into the top turnbuckle. He goes for a second one, but Page blocks it, and delivers an elbow to the gut. Bossman tries again, but it gets turned around, and Page slams his face into the turnbuckle three times, before dropping him to the middle turnbuckle for three more, and then the bottom turnbuckle for another three, and finishes off the ten by throwing him down to the mat. The fans let out a roar as Page poses for the “bang” once more. He grabs a hold of Bossman’s leg, and Pulls him to the center of the ring, before using his boot to roll him over, and then stands over him, slapping his opponent awake.

This may be it. He could be getting set for the Diamond Cutter, and if that connects, this match is over, no doubt about it.

Yeah, OK. This match isn’t over until we see a Bossman Slam, and the ref counts to three. Page’s little Diamond Cutter won’t take down the big man. You wait and see.

As Mr. 487 says this, Bossman is getting to his feet, with Page waiting in the corner behind him. Just as Bossman has his feet under him, Page sets for the Diamond Cutter, but gets sent sailing into the corner. Bossman runs after him, attempting an avalanche, but Page sidesteps him, and catches him coming out of the corner with the Diamond Cutter! Bossman hits the mat with a thud, and the crowd pops as Page rolls him over, and goes for the pin. He hooks the leg, and gets a 2 count, but Piper grabs his leg, and pulls him off, breaking the pin count. Page kicks Piper off his leg, and drops an elbow on Bossman before hooking the leg, and attempting another pin. This time he gets the 1, 2, 3, and the victory!

Page runs to the corner and poses on the turnbuckle for the fans as his music booms through the arena. As he celebrates, Piper enters the ring, and revives Bossman, handing him his handcuffs. Bossman sneaks up behind DDP, and grabs his wrist, attempting to slap on the handcuffs. DDP thinks fast, and delivers a kick to the gut, doubling over Bossman, and then slaps the handcuffs on him, before connecting the other end to the ropes!

That little cheat! He’s got Bossman tied up on the ropes, and he can’t defend himself!

Good! Maybe now, Bossman and Piper will get what’s coming to them!

Page runs after Piper, chasing him on to the floor, and around the ring, before Piper dives back in the ring, frantically trying to free Bossman from the handcuffs. Page follows behind him, and levels him with a hard shoulder tackle, before mounting him and delivering punch after punch to his face and chest as he tries to cover up. Piper finally worms his way out, and falls to the floor, before heading for the back, as Bossman watches on, calling him for help. Page rolls out of the ring as his music restarts, and poses for the crowd at the top of the ramp before leaving through the curtain. The ref calls for help freeing Bossman, as the camera cuts to Mr. 487 and “The One” Big Will, who have an update on Raven.

Ladies and gentlemen, we just received word that Dee Dragon is in the back with Raven. There’s an update on his condition, as well as his reaction to what we saw earlier.

I’d bet anything that he’s not exactly happy over what happened. Maybe we’ll get a word on why he chickened out, and didn’t finish off LuFisto when he had the chance.

The camera fades, and comes back outside the First Aid office, where Dee is waiting with a microphone.

I’m back here, waiting for Raven…Well, at least the man we used to call Raven. What the heck happened out there anyway?

The door opens, and Raven comes out, holding an icepack on his forehead, and bandages covering cuts on his forehead, and under his eye. His face is red, and he’s quietly pacing back and forth as Dee starts the interview.

So, Raven, what happened out there? Why didn’t you just go for the pin? I don’t even care about you calling for help. LuFisto obviously deserved to lose, or she wouldn’t have been flat on her back like that.

You know, I’m really getting sick of your crap Dee. LuFisto did nothing to deserve what happened to her out there. I disrespected her, thinking she couldn’t handle hardcore, because she’s a woman, and she took offense to that, like she should have. Not only has she proven to me that she’s hardcore, but she’s made me respect her. I haven’t heard how she’s doing, but I’ll definitely be going to visit her, and make sure she understands how sorry I am.

Yeah, whatever you say. Since you had nothing of note to say about yourself and LuFisto, maybe a word on what happened with the lights going out? What do you have to say…

Before Dee can finish, Raven rips the microphone from her hand, and grabs the camera, making sure it’s focused on him. He gets up close to it, staring through the lens at the viewer.

I don’t know what that was, who that was, or why that happened. But, I’ll tell you this. I will find out what happened, and rest assured…I’ll take care of business when the time is right.

Raven throws down the mic, causing a horrible squeal, and heads to the locker room. Dee covers her ears to block out the ringing, and shakes her head in disgust as she leaves. The camera fades, and comes back in the ring, with The Pip, who has introductions for the next match.
