Episode 6 - Season 1

(At the ringside announce table sits Todd Grisham and the great and devious Ultramantis Black)



(The Young Bucks are out to the ring with the CCU Tag Team Titles. Adam Cole is laughing smugly behind them.)
MJ: Well the proof is right here, yet another tag team title to add to the trophy case. Yet another accolade to add to the greatest team in the world in any promotion, bar none. Young Bucks run the tag division.
NJ: Of course Matt and even with old man Corny pulling out all the stops to topple the stizzarz of this show it just didn't matter. We overcame every hurdle and still look fresh for the cameras.
AC: This is why we are the Elite and now that the first piece is complete and the tag straps are where they belong, get ready for phase two. I will become the CCU Heavyweight champion after I defeat five other "competitors" to claim the gold for the greatest collection of talent ever assembled. Tonight I take on one of Cornette's lackeys Biff Busick. It will not end well for you Biffy.
MJ: You know word is that in our main evening there will be a Gauntlet tag match to decide who the #1 contenders will be for your champions next week - not that it matters. But just so the ratings don't dip too badly both Nick and myself will be at ringside lending our expert commentary. So you got that going for ya, which is Too sweet!

-Falls Count Anywhere Match-
1) Dalton Castle (w/The Boys) defeated Cedric Alexander with a DEADLIFT GERMAN SUPLEX @ 12:05.
-Castle ran into the ring and attacked before the bell and the battle was on. Castle maintained the upper hand until Cedric took the bout to the floor. He used a few chair shots to the back and then a backdrop to the floor but only got a two count. The match went further into the crowd and Alexander whipped Castle into the wall! A two and a half count! Castle hit a low blow and rallied strongly using his innovative offense among the fans. Castle tossed Alexander into the Men's bathroom and the fight continued. He slammed his opponent into a stall and then hit a Deadlift German into a pinning combo to get the win.

-Backstage-
(Colt Cabana accidentally bumps into Jim Cornette who is muttering to himself.)
CC: Oh hey sorry Jimbo.
JC: You are sorry you underachieving twerp. What are you so happy for anyway?
CC: I just have a positive attitude I guess, unlike some people I know.
JC: Listen take my advice for once. I'm a world renowned manager of champions with a tremendous resume and lots of money earned to my name. You are a journeyman wrestler who rarely wins matches and travels from town to town like a schmuck trying to keep his smile. If you got serious for once you might actually be worth something. Funny don't make money job boy. Keep that in mind while Sabre is stretching you like taffy at a carnival tonight. Now if you'll excuse me I have serious matters to attend to.

(Colt's smile fades a bit)

2) Colt Cabana beat Zack Sabre Jr. with COLT. 45 @ 8:55.
-Cabana spoiled the debut of the technical wizard Sabre with an impressive array of submission and high impact moves. Sabre took control of the early going until Colt reversed a buckle whip. He then did take a more serious edge to his game and overpowered the smaller Sabre and hit his finish much to the delight and surprise of himself and the crowd.

-Backstage-
(Jeremy Borash is with Bad Influence - Christopher Daniels and Kazarian.)
JB: Gentlemen a very difficult run in Tag Wars last week as you finished 0-3. How will that affect you heading into to tonight's Gauntlet tag to see who gets first crack at the Young Bucks?
CD: It won't affect us at all. Sometimes even David Ortiz goes 0 for 4 and even though Kaz and I didn't get the outcome we wanted last week I assure you that we will win tonight's main event.
Kaz: That's right. We are Bad Influence, not bad meaning bad but bad meaning good. Who as a matter of fact is the only team that holds a win over the so called champions in the Underground so if anyone wants to bet against us tonight. I will gladly take your money.
CD: Let's not forget that we are both national treasures and damn handsome men. We will prevail.

3) Biff Busick (w/Jim Cornette) beat Adam Cole by DISQUALIFICATION when Cole used the Tennis Racket @ 7:06.
-Cornette continued to antagonize Cole most of the bout. After the Florida Key yielded only a two count. Cornette tried to distract the official and slid the racket to Busick. Cole intercepted it and landed a stiff shot to Busick's skull drawing the disqualification and chasing off Cornette who was unharmed.

-Backstage-
(Jeremy Borash is with Rob Van Dam)
JB: Truly one of a kind, Rob Van Dam. You got a big win in a triple threat match a few weeks ago and you've shown that you still want to challenge yourself at this stage in your career.
RVD: Of course I'm not that old JB. I like to think I'm still hitting my stride. And yeah last week I showed those youngsters that I'm still in top form. I'm ready for anything and anyone.

(Sami Callihan interrupts)
SC: Wait a minute. Last I checked I beat you already and last week it wasn't me for stared at the lights it was that musclehead Moose.
RVD: That's right. That's right. Because I tossed your ass to the floor and then went HIGH off the buckles. By the way if you're upset I'd love a re-match next week.
(RVD open hand slaps Callihan and he falls to the floor. Van Dam walks off.)

-TV Main Event- Tag Team Gauntlet #1 Contenders Match-

Bad Influence (Christopher Daniels & Kazarian) beat Moose & Ricochet when Kazarian pinned Ricochet after a LARIAT/CHOP BLOCK COMBO @ 10:15.
-Both teams fought well and got several near falls a piece. All four men were in the ring the experience of Daniels and Kaz paid off as Daniels tripped up the larger Moose out of the ring and a tag finisher gave them the ability to move on.

Bad Influence defeated The RockNES Monsters (Johnny Yuma & Johnny Goodtime) when Kazarian pinned Yuma with the FLUX CAPACITOR @ 7:16.
-The Monsters attacked right away and didn't give the opposition time to breathe. A missed moonsault by Yuma opened the door to a flurry of tag moves and a quick pin by Kazarian.

Bad Influence defeated The Gentleman's Club (Drew Gulak & Chuck Taylor) (w/Jim Cornette) when Daniels pinned Taylor with a REVERSE STO @ 13:07.
-All four were in the ring and Jim Cornette attempted to distract the ref. Matt Jackson jumped up from the commentary table and grabbed his leg. Gulak hit a suicide dive that wiped all of them out and Daniels hit a high impact move to get the three and the title shot.

[Pariah]

Great to see Bad Influence bounce back from their poor performance at Tag Wars... Can they get the job done against the Bucks?

Fun stuff!

[mwjergs]

The tag gauntlet match was fun to roll. They were almost taken out by the new team of Moose and Ricochet. Daniels and Kaz each had 7 fatigue. Amazing that they held on and rolled all the way for the win.

Episode 7 - Season 1

(At the ringside announce table sits Todd Grisham and the great and devious Ultramantis Black)



-Backstage- (Knock on the door of M.W. Jergs)
VS: Are you M.W. Jergs?
MWJ: Yes? Who's asking?
VS: Then these are for you. (slams a stack of papers on his desk)
MWJ: What's this?
VS: These papers are a result of a suit brought against you by my client, Joseph Ryan Meehan. It states that he is entitled to workers compensation due to your booking of a streetfight match that led to numerous injuries and lost wages. Negligence. Endangerment. These are serious charges sir.
MWJ: Huh? What are you blathering about, this is professional wrestling! And who are you anyway?
VS: I am Ms. Veda Scott esquire, legal counsel for the wrestler you know as Joey Ryan.
MWJ: Well, Ms. Scott. Before you get out of my office please tell your client that he has a match tonight and if you both don't like it you can scribble as many pages as you like. It doesn't matter and neither does this stack of nonsense.

1) Zack Sabre Jr. defeated Ricochet with CROSS ARMBREAKER @ 6:25.
-Sabre was looking for his first win since his debut was spoiled last week. Ricochet missed a flying press off the ropes and Sabre quickly locked in the Armbreaker and rolled to the center of the ring. The high flier had no choice but to tap out.

-Backstage-
(Jim Cornette is talking with Biff Busick when Colt Cabana quietly comes up next to them.)
CC: Hey, uh, Jimbo can I talk with ya.
JC: Huh? What do you want you goof. I'm trying to have a serious conversation.
CC: Yeah I see. Did you watch my match last week?
JC: Yes I did and let me say that even a broken clock is right twice a day.
CC: Good one. I was thinking about what you said and I wondered if you had any other advice for me?
JC: Um yeah. First, I would advise you to steer clear of the man to my right. You do realize that you are are part of a Fatal Four Way on today's show? Second, I'm not really sure I could do much for you unless you'd be willing to make some major changes.
CC: Listen I know that I have a match and I've been doing a lot of thinking about my career.
JC: (changes tune) Give us a minute Biff. Hey, I get it. Why don't you come with me and we can talk away from prying eyes.

2) Sami Callihan beat Rob Van Dam by DISQUALIFICATION when Van Dam used the VAN TERMINATOR @ 10:15.
-The match went to the floor quickly and was in and out most of the match. Callihan went for a suplex on the floor and Vam Dam blocked it. He then picked up a chair and hit the spectacular Van Terminator that also brushed up against the official causing him to call for the bell. Van Dam didn't seem to care as he stood on the top buckle and pointed to himself.

-Backstage-
(Jeremy Borash is with Adam Cole)
JB: Adam Cole a win is a win and so is a loss. Even though by disqualification you were unable to get past Biff Busick last week.
AC: That's true. And do you know what else is true, that in just a few short weeks I will be the first and only CCU Heavyweight champion. It will happen because I'm that damn good. And yes even though I got the L, last week due to Jim Cornette sticking his nose in where it doesn't belong I'm not worried. The Elite always have a plan and we will not let the dinosaurs of the industry stop the wheels of progress. We are the present and the future and the next time I get any of Cornette's cronies in the ring I'll let this take care of everything.

-Fatal Four Way-
3) "Magnum" Joey Ryan (w/Veda Scott) defeated Moose, Colt Cabana, & Biff Busick (w/Jim Cornette) when Ryan pinned Moose with the PEDIGREE @ 14:25.
-A thrilling contest with many near falls. All these contenders wanted to be able to add another win too be able to the enter the six way match in a few weeks. All four men were in the ring. Ryan had been tossed thru the ropes but he held on. Moose then missed a double clothesline on Biff and Cabana and on the way back both leveled the big man. It seemed as if Busick and Cabana were working together as they set up for a double team move. Colt went off the ropes and nailed Busick instead meanwhile Ryan took advantage and hit Moose with a low blow and face first piledriver to steal the victory.

-Backstage-
(Jeremy Borash is with Dalton Castle)
JB: Mr. Castle you were victorious in a wild brawl last week against your rival Cedric Alexander. Do you feel that things are settled between you?
DC: One can only wonder sir. I proved that these manly shoulders can indeed carry much weight. I'm ready for any challenge from anyone at any time.

(Cedric Alexander came out)
CA: You proved nothing last week. I'm sure you know your way around the mens' room but its got nothing to do with wrestling. Let's go right now.

(Castle lunged at Alexander and Cedric produced a wrench that he swung at Castle's head! He landed two more blows as Borash called for help.)

*Dalton Castle in injured 2 cards

-CCU Tag Team Title Match-
4) Bad Influence (Christopher Daniels & Kazarian) beat The Young Bucks (Nick & Matt Jackson) (c) by DISQUALIFICATION when Matt Superkicked the official @ 18:54.
-Bad Influence looked headed to a title win. Multiple tag moves softened up Nick Jackson and finally Kaz hit a Slingshot Elbow drop. Matt made the pin save and all four men battled in the ring. Daniels hit the Angels Wings on Nick but before the ref could count he was walloped with a superkick to the face knocking him cold. This brought out Jim Cornette and his army of Chuck Taylor, Drew Gulak and Biff Busick. Adam Cole was out to even the odds it became a three on three brawl between Cornette's men and The Elite. Bad Influence simply left the ring in disgust at this point. As the battle raged Colt Cabana came out reluctantly and slammed Matt Jackson into the ringpost drawing blood. He seemed conflicted as the security rushed the ring the camera faded to black.

Episode 8 - Season 1

(At the ringside announce table sits Todd Grisham and the great and devious Ultramantis Black)

-In Ring-
(CCU Owner M.W. Jergs is ready to address the crowd.)
MWJ: Ladies and gentlemen I'd like to make this announcement formal but due to the actions of Cedric Alexander last week and his use of a wrench on Dalton Castle he was been suspended. We simply can not tolerate such violent actions outside regular competition.
VS: (Veda Scott walks out to the ring.) One moment sir. One moment.
(Jergs rolls his eyes.)
I have a document that I would like to introduce to hold Mr. Alexander's suspension until my appeal can be given proper consideration.
MWJ: You again? Listen it's pretty simple. Mr. Alexander smacked Dalton Castle in the face several times with a metal wrench. Open and shut case.
VS: It may seem that way to you but the last thing a new promotion needs is a lawsuit on its hands due to some negligence on your part.
MWJ: A fair point. Alexander's suspension is under appeal. There. Happy. Hmm. So since he's now available maybe I should put him in a match? Yes, I think I will. Next week Cedric will face a new man to the Pit - the NECRO BUTCHER! But it won't be in a normal match it will be contested under BRASS KNUCKLES rules. So good luck with that.
(Scott storms off as the fans cheer.)

1) Moose defeated Colt Cabana with the SPEAR @ 5:14.
-Cabana received a mixed ovation from the crowd and it seemed to bother him a bit. Moose used his power and strength to dominate the contest. He finished things off with his finisher.

-Backstage-
(Jeremy Borash is with a very agitated Cedric Alexander)
JB: Cedric you've had your issues with Dalton Castle since Day One and now as your lawyer appeals your well deserved suspension you will face a man who has no regard for rules next week in Necro Butcher.
CA: JB. I don't know why everyone is conspiring against me. I want to be the best wrestler in the world. I want to be the CCU Heavyweight champion. I want the opportunity for greatness. But how can I achieve these things if this freak Dalton Castle won't let me be! How?! He's pushes and pokes and prods me. Until I'm forced to respond! As far as I'm concerned he got off easy last week. I can only hope that while he lays in a hospital bed that he sees how foolish it was to mess with me and if he comes back he'll look for someone else to play with. As for next week it's just another challenge. I want to be in that Six Man match in two weeks and if I have to put another man in the hospital to do it. Then so be it.

2) Inner City Machine Guns (Ricochet & Rich Swann) beat The RockNES Monsters (Johnny Yuma & Johnny Goodtime) when Swann pinned Yuma with Five-Star Swann Splash @ 13:40.
-Rich Swann made his debut in spectacular fashion as he combined his high flying style with that of Ricochet. The Monsters controlled the early action with double team moves as they tried to isolate Ricochet. A hot tag to Swann changed the complexion of the match as all four men battled in the ring. Ricochet hit a beautiful plancha that wiped out Goodtime while inside the ring Swann hit a high frog splash to gain the win.

-Backstage-
(Jeremy Borash is with Bad Influence - Kazarian and Christopher Daniels)
JB: Gentlemen you were very close to gaining the CCU Tag Team titles until a kick to the face of the official ended those hopes.
CD: Listen, everyone saw how we dominated the match last week and it only took a cheap kick to the ref to save the Bucks from national embarrassment. I have no doubt that the booking committee will see the wisdom of granting us an immediate re-match.
Kaz: It's pretty clear that any re-match must be no disqualification. Because we don't want these punks resorting to any cheap tricks to hold on to that gold. We are just too good and we will not be denied.

3) Zack Sabre Jr. beat "Magnum" Joey Ryan (w/ Veda Scott) by DISQUALIFICATION @ 12:05 when he used a steel chair outside the ring.
-Ryan was in charge in the early going and Sabre powered out of any pin attempt. Ryan missed a moonsault from the top rope and Sabre used his mat skills to turn the tables. Veda then jumped on the apron during a three count and distracted the official. Ryan hit a high knee on Sabre that sent him to the concrete. Ryan was handed a chair from Scott and he smashed it across Sabre's skull drawing the DQ from the ref.

-Backstage-
(Jim Cornette is talking strategy with his charges when Colt Cabana interrupts.)
CC: Hey Jim can I have a minute?
JC: What do you want? Can't you see we have a strategy session going here?
CC: Yeah I know. I figured that maybe I'd be involved. I helped you guys last week and I'm sure you just forgot that I had a match today.
JC: Listen I am currently your informal advisor and you need to really prove yourself before I consider putting my name next to yours. So if you please.
CC: Ok sure. Good luck guys.
(Taylor and Busick grimace while Gulak stops to Cabana.)
DG: We got this. Don't get in the way.

-Tv Main Event-
4) The Young Bucks (Matt & Nick Jackson) & Adam Cole defeated The Gentlemen's Club (Drew Gulak & Chuck Taylor) & Biff Busick (w/ Jim Cornette) when Cole pinned Busick with CRADLE REVERSAL @ 18:35.
-These two factions have built up quite a rivalry as of late and neither waited for the bell. It took several minutes to calm the situation down and then we had a very competitive contest. The advantage switched back and forth until all six were battling again. Colt Cabana came out to ringside and held Nick Jackson while mayhem ensued. Busick went off the ropes and nailed Colt instead. Cole snuck up from behind and locked in a cradle reversal for the quick three count.

[Pariah]

Exciting comeback win for the ICMGs... That high flying duo is always fun to watch and I'd like to see them climb further in the rankings...

Young Bucks vs Gentlemen's Club delivered the goods... The growing hostility between those two factions made for an intense main event...

Fun stuff!

Episode 9 - Season 1

(At the ringside announce table sits Todd Grisham and the great and devious Ultramantis Black)

1) The Gentlemen's Club (Drew Gulak & Chuck Taylor) (w/Jim Cornette) beat Inner City Machine Guns (Ricochet & Rich Swann) by DISQUALIFICATION when the ref was struck with a chair @ 12:06.
-The Guns made some noise last week as they notched a win in their debut. It would not be quite so easy against the cunning Club with Cornette at the controls. High flying offense from the start and then the match went to the floor. Each team was involved on the outside until Cornette was able to lead the official into the path of a chair shot intended for him. The ref was out. The action continued and Ricochet landed Chocolate Rain but instead of a pinfall the ref rang the bell calling for a disqualification due to the infraction.

-Backstage-
(Jeremy Borash is with owner MW Jergs)
JB: Well, boss only one week away and Charm City Underground crowns its first heavyweight champion.
MWJ: Yes indeed JB. I have been pouring over the last eight weeks and using some fancy math equations to figure out who are the six most worthy contenders who will battle next week for the gold. It's been a good start to our promotion thought it's had it's share of problems like any new business but I'm anxious to crown a champion.
JB: And we are anxious to see it next week. Six men enter - one man leaves with the title next week!

-Brass Knuckles Match-
2) Necro Butcher defeated Cedric Alexander (w/Veda Scott) @ 8:25 when Necro knocked out Alexander with a NECRO BOMB on the concrete.
-Prior to the match Veda Scott took the mic. She said that she has already filed an injunction that in the event of injury she will be suing CCU on behalf of her client. Alexander held his own early on and used distractions from Veda to help gain an advantage and open up a cut on the forehead. Butcher rallied and scared Scott to the back and then slammed Cedric with a chair. He then used punches and then finally a power bomb to the concrete to leave Alexander laying unable to meet the ten count.

-Backstage-
(Jeremy Borash interviews Sami Callihan)
JB: It seems as if the rivalry between yourself and Rob Van Dam in starting to intensify.
SC: Rivalry? Isn't that when two sides are equal? Van Dam you aint never beaten me! I've made my reputation by hurting people and guess who is next on my list. Van Dam you don't put hands on me. For that you'll get what's coming to you old man. You are nothing but a relic from a by gone age. I am the future and next week after I win the Charm City Underground Heavyweight title then everyone, including you Rob will know it and have to accept it.

-Fatal Four Way Match-
3) Adam Cole defeated Zack Sabre Jr., Rob Van Dam & Biff Busick (w/Jim Cornette) when Cole pinned Sabre with FLORIDA KEY @ 12:25.
-A wild affair as all four had chances to take the fall. Van Dam hit a Five-Star Frog Splash on Busick and Sabre broke up the pin at two and a half. Busick rolled to the floor as Sabre then clamped the Cross Armbreaker on Mr. Monday Night. Van Dam rolled and grabbed the ropes and the ref broke the hold. Van Dam slid under the ropes. Cole then hit a Superkick to the back of Sabre's head and then hit the back suplex into a bridge and pinfall.

-Backstage-
(M.W. Jergs speaks to the camera from his office.)
MWJ: Ladies and gentlemen I would like to announce the six competitors who will vie for the Charm City Underground Heavyweight Title in a Fray Match. Six men will compete in this order:
1) Zack Sabre Jr.
2) Biff Busick
3) Moose
4) Sami Callihan
5) Joey Ryan
6) Adam Cole

Good luck to all competitors next week!

-Charm City Tag Team Title Match- Hardcore Rules -No Countout - No DQ-
4) Bad Influence (Christopher Daniels & Kazarian) defeated The Young Bucks (Matt & Nick Jackson) when Kazarian pinned Matt with a SIT-DOWN POWERBOMB/NECKBREAKER COMBO @ 10:55 to win the tag titles.
- After some brawling on the floor to start the match order was restored. The Bucks were simply unable to match the out of ring skills of Daniels and Kazarian. All four battled in the ring, Kaz hits several short kicks to Matt while Daniels wiped out Nick with a Death Valley Driver. Then a final double team move gains the three count for a well earned win and our first title change. After the match Jim Cornette was out and sent Chuck Taylor and Drew Gulak to pick up the scraps of the Bucks. They pounded away until Adam Cole came out and was cut off by Biff Busick. They left the Elite laying in a bloody heap as the camera went dark.

Episode 10 - Season 1

(At the ringside announce table sits Todd Grisham and the great and devious Ultramantis Black)

The announcers recap Bad Influence's Tag Team title win over the Young Bucks. Jim Cornette's charges then swept the ring and left The Elite laying. Before we focus on the huge Six-Man Scramble for the CCU Heavyweight Title today let's hear pre-recorded comments from The Jacksons and Adam Cole.

(Matt & Nick Jackson and Adam Cole are bloodied in the locker room)
AC: Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm sure that the haters are having a good laugh right about now at our expense. But let me start with you Jim Cornette. This unhealthy obsession you have with us needs to come to an end and we realize now that we are going to have to employ some extreme measures to get you and whomever you pay off our backs. You see you shouldn't even be here. You shouldn't even be in this company. You are a relic of a by gone age and you need to be put out to pasture.
NJ: Of course but Daniels and Kazarian we knew that you would be tough challengers. We knew it wouldn't be easy and we'll give you credit you've got the belts..for now. Don't think that we won't hound both of you until we get what's ours.
MJ: Can't stop and won't stop. So on our road to redemption we have several stops that need to be made. Before we get to Jim Cornette or Bad Influence. I'd like to take care of something we should have addressed weeks ago. Colt Cabana. Mr. funny man. Happy go lucky journeyman podcaster. You split my head open a few weeks ago and why? Because that old man told you to. You're confused brother but maybe a couple kicks to the head will straighten you out. Find a partner, that is if you can find one and I'm laying it out to you. Get in the ring and be the first notch on our belt back to the gold.

1) Forever Hooligans (Rocky Romero & Alex Koslov) and The RockNES Monsters(Johnny Yuma & Johnny Goodtime) fought to a DOUBLE-DISQUALIFICATION @ 10:15.
-The hooligans were fast out of the gate in their debut. A Red Scare by Koslov caught a two count on Goodtime. A reversal and Yuma took the advantage and lead too several double team moves. An Explosive Amnesia almost got the win before a pin save by Romero. All four battled on the floor and fought until the ref could no longer control the situation and called for the bell.

-Backstage-
(Jim Cornette is with Drew Gulak, Chuck Taylor, and Biff Busick when Colt Cabana interrupts)
CC: Jimbo I need a favor?
DG: Wait a minute. Why are always following us around? None of us want you here. You're a goof Cabana.
CC: Well for your information Jim Cornette is my advisor.
JC: Unofficial advisor. What is it?
CC: I need a tag team partner. I have this match against the Bucks today because I did what you asked. So who can help me?
DG: Help you? I don't see any volunteers. Biff has a match for the World Title and Chuck and I are planning on getting a Tag Team Title match so guess you're out of luck.
CC: Jim, please.
JC: I guess you're out of luck.

2) Rob Van Dam pinned Rich Swann with the FIVE-STAR FROG SPLASH @ 9:25.
-Van Dam took the mic and praised Swann's tag match last week but said that he should never copy a move that he can't complete properly. "I have the best Frog Splash - bar none. Often imitated. Never duplicated." Swann hit the ring running and the match was on. Van Dam recovered from Swann early aerial attack and took the match outside. A legdrop on the guardrail softened his opponent up enough. Once back in Van Dam used his patented finisher for the win.

-Backstage-
(Jeremy Borash is with M.W. Jergs who holds the title.)
JB: Well Boss, today we see just who will claim the Charm City Underground Heavyweight title.
MWJ: That's right JB. It should be an incredible match with these six deserving contenders battling it out.
JB: Do you have a favorite in mind to take this belt?
MWJ: Never a good idea to play favorites. I should ask you that question?
JB: I like Sami Callihan. He's aggressive and he shown that he'll go full force at anyone in his way.

(Sami Callihan is out and takes the belt from M.W. Jergs)
SC: I like the way you think JB. Gold is pretty but I like the money that comes with being the best.

(Adam Cole walks out.)
AC: Come on. It's Adam Cole Bay Bay! All Day and All night. You should know better JB.

(Biff Busick is out flanked by Jim Cornette)
JC: How's that knot on your head pretty boy. This man next to me has the look of a champion and he'll prove it today.

(Zack Sabre Jr. is out)
ZSJ: Rejoice Americans! It's Zack Sabre's favorite son. Well, his only son here to tell you that tonight's match will end with an Armbar. Then I leave for a Guinness at the pub in celebration.

(Joey Ryan is out.)
JR: It's time to bring sleazy back to the masses.

(Moose is out last. He stares at the belt and the other competitors.)

MWJ: I'll take that. Save it for the ring gentlemen.

3) The Young Bucks (Matt & Nick Jackson) beat Colt Cabana & Necro Butcher when Nick pinned Cabana with MORE BANG FOR YOUR BUCK @ 4:15.
-Colt was out on the ramp with a mic. "I know that you guys think I don't have any friends. But I found someone that doesn't care about friends or foes. He just likes to fight." With that Necro Butcher was out and a pier six brawl started. As the match progressed Butcher was hit with a Double Superkick that sent him to the floor. This left Colt alone and victim to the Bucks' finisher. After the fall Matt Jackson brought in two chairs and he and his brother hit a Con-Chair-To and left Cabana on the mat.

-Charm City Underground Heavyweight Title Match- Six-Man Elimination-

-Zack Sabre Jr. vs. Biff Busick (w/Jim Cornette)
The match begins and Busick hits several European Uppercuts and then a flying uppercut to rock his opponent. Sabre then reverses a turnbuckle whip and hits an uppercut of his own. Busick blocks another attempt and then locks in a Half Strangelhold.

-Moose enters at #3.
The former football player attacks Busick and hit the Pounce that knocks him clear across the ring. Sabre hit Moose from behind and rocked him with three Rolling Elbows. Only a two count. Sabre continued his onslaught. Busick hit Sabre with a Clothesline and a brutal half suplex but the pin was broken by Moose. Moose scooped up his foe with a slam but then missed a second rope elbow drop. Sabre then caught Biff in a Sabre Driver for a two count.

-Sami Callihan enter at #4.
Callihan goes right at Sabre and lands heavy forearms. He hits a Forearm to Remember on Sabre and then Moose who was distracted pounding away on Busick. He hits another Forearm on Moose and then locks in the Stretch Muffler. The big man has no choice but to tap out.

-Moose is eliminated @ 9:35.

Busick hit a clothesline on the unsuspecting Callihan.

-Joey Ryan enters at #5.
Ryan took his time getting in the ring but is helped in by Sami Callihan. Callihan and Ryan fought until Ryan landed two consecutive Walk-Off Kicks that sent him over the top rope. Sabre was back in and hit a Dragon Suplex on Ryan for a two count. Biff then landed a clothesline on Sabre.

-Adam Cole enters at #6
Now all competitors have entered the match. Cole was methodical making his way to the action and took his time as the other four were recovering. Cole attacked Busick first and hit a Superkick to the back of his head. Sabre then tossed Cole out of the ring and hit a Sabre Driver on Busick to get the three count.

-Biff Busick is eliminated @ 19:05.
Ryan then picked up Sabre into a Pedigree but only for a two count. Callihan then blind-sided Ryan and hit a Headlock driver for a three count.

The final two were decided as Sabre and Cole stared each other down. Cole went for a superkick that Sabre ducked. He locked in the Cross Armbreaker and it locked like Cole might tap. He got to the ropes but Sabre applied it again, this time in the center of the ring. Cole frantically rolled to the ropes and the hold was broken. Sabre went for a Rolling Elbow but Cole hit him low. Cole then hit the Florida Key for the three count and the title.

-Zack Sabre Jr. is eliminated @ 33:14.
