It's A Mad, Mad World...of wrestling

[on_the_edge]

July Week 2, Year 1


WWF Raw

The show starts with a bombshell announcement. Randy Savage has a long list of men he wants to get revenge on, so he decided to get revenge on them at the same time. He has asked for and been granted a 3 on 1 handicap match at SummerSlam vs Roddy Piper, Bob Orton Jr and Lanny Poffo. Randy has really lost touch with reality.


King Kong Bundy vs Marty Jannetty

This was a squash. Marty tried to get some offense at the start but before long Bundy was tossing him around. Bundy hit Avalanche and after the ref counted three Bundy told him to count to five which he did. A dominating performance from the big man.

Winner: King Kong Bundy with five count pinfall (1 star)


A promo for SummerSlam PPV which is this Sunday. The challengers for the World and Tag Team Championships will be in competition tonight.


Killer Kowalski vs Matt Striker

Another squash as Killer Kowalski dominated the match from bell to bell. A flying knee almost led to the pinfall. He then followed it up with a Kowalski Claw and Striker tapped.

Winner: Killer Kowalski via submission (1 star)


New Age Outlaws vs PG-13

A very good back and forth match. At first the NAO were working Wolfie D over but could not seem to put him away. Then Wolfie D made a tag and momentum flipped from one team to the other. The end came when PG-13 hit a leg sweep and clotheline combo on BG James and Wolfie D pinned him. The camera shows why Kip did not try a save as The Rising Sons had came down and pulled him off the apron.

Winner: PG-13 by pinfall (3 stars)

As The Rising Sons beat down on Kip on the floor PG-13 stomped on BG in the ring. Finally, the ref and some officials got the two tag teams to stop and leave the ring area.


It is announced that Ted DiBiase threw out an open challenge for his Intercontinental Championship. It was answered by Bobo Brazil. They will face off at SummerSlam.


D'lo Brown w/Nation Of Domination vs Curt Henning

In a recent match Henning beat D'lo so D'lo wanted this rematch. Early on it looked like this would be a repeat as Henning was in control to start the action. Then one of the Nation members got on the apron and yelled at the ref. With the ref distracted another member got in the ring and attacked Curt. He got knocked out of the ring for his trouble. But then when Curt turned around he got leveled by Mr. Hughes. The ref finally got the Nation member to drop to the floor. When he turned around he saw D'lo working Curt over. A Lo Down led to a two count. D'lo followed up with a Sky High and then a second Lo Down to put Curt away.

Winner: D'lo Brown via pinfall (2 count)

The Nation get in the ring and stand tall at the side and behind D'lo. He makes the belt gesture around his waist and then they throw their right fists into the air. Buddy Rogers has his work cut out for him at the SummerSlam PPV.



WCW Nitro


Ric Flair and the Four Horsemen, including new member Moose, stand in the ring.

Ric Flair: As you see, the Horsemen have a new member. He is a nice upgrade from that turncoat, ungrateful AJ Styles. His name is Moose and he is a beast. He is also the new US Heavyweight Champion. We now have the top two single titles. All that is left is the tag team championship. (He turns and looks at Daniels and Kaz). Well, tonight we will fix that. I have got a title shot for our men. Then the Four Horsemen will have total and ultimate control of WCW.

With that all five me hold up four fingers, the sign of the Four Horsemen.


Juventud Guerrera vs Ricochet

Juvi was in control for most of this match. Ricochet just would not go down easy. Juventud used a pair of 450 Splashes and a Juvi Driver but Ricochet kicked out after each. Juventud used another Juvi Driver that he followed up with his 450 Splash finisher and got the victory.

Winner: Juventud Guerrera by pinfall (2 stars)


Road Warriors cut a promo on the Horsemen. They say they will enter the main event and leave it as champions. No one can stand up to them.

Road Warriors vs Horsemen w/Ric Flair for the WCW World Tag Team Championship

The Road Warriors drove over the Horsemen and turned them into roadkill. Animal was brutalizing Kazarian from the opening bell. After an unsuccessful pin attempt that almost got him the win, Animal tagged Hawk in. They hit their double team finisher, Doomsday Device, and as Hawk made the cover Animal stopped Daniels from making the save.

Winner: Road Warriors via pinfall to retain the titles (1 star)



ECW Chaos


Joey Styles: Welcome to another exciting episode of ECW Chaos. Our main event is The Sandman defending the World title against Mikey Whipwreck. Plus, in our opening match we see a newcomer to ECW who has a lot of buzz about him, Alex Shelley. Let's go to the ring for that match now.


Alex Shelley vs Al Snow

The youngster was in the ring when Al Snow made his way down. Al was having a heat conversation with Head. Alex does not know what to make of the kooky one. Perhaps Al Snow's quickyness threw Alex off as he could not get much going. A couple minutes after Al Snow's finisher did not do the job he won after a Smash With Head.

Winner: Al Snow by pinfall (1 star)


The Heat Wave PPV is only a couple weeks away. Briscoe Brothers will get a shot at the tag team champions, The Pitbulls. Later tonight we are supposed to find out who will challenge The Sandman, if he is still the champ by the time of the PPV, for the ECW World Championship.


War Machine vs The Saints

The Saints used frequent tags and double teaming to work Hanson over. The big man kept getting up till Dave Crist hit a second superkick on him. A quick rollup and The Saints won. Raymond Rowe was expecting his partner to kick out so did not even attempt a save.

Winner: The Saints via pinfall


The Sandman vs Mikey Whipwreck for the ECW World Championship

As the match started The Sandman was still smoking a cigarette. Mikey chopped his chest to no effect. The Sandman handed his smoke to the ref and proceeded to lay into Mikey. Being in control the champ got cocky opening the door for Mikey to get in offense. He hit his finisher but only got a two count. His control lasted only a few minutes than The Sandman fought back. The Sandman went to the floor for a chair. When the ref told him he could not use it he just flipped it to the side. While the ref was removing it from the ring The Sandman grabbed his Singapore Cane and lashed Mikey with it a few times. After tossing the cane into the corner he made the cover.

Winner: The Sandman by pinfall to retain

The Sandman lights up another cigarette when a rap song starts playing. Walking out from the back and toward the ring with purpose is indie wrestler Murder-1. He gets in the ring and goes face to face with the champ. Murder-1 points to the title belt and slaps his chest. It seems we know who will be challenging The Sandman for the World title at Heat Wave.

He slid into the ring and attacked Big John. The sudden attack caught Big John off guard. Then Shawn slid out of the ring and pulled Marty out to the floor with him. As the two men make their way up the ramp Big John is yelling at them from inside the ring. The crowd is cheering the return of Shawn Michaels.

July Week 3, Year 1



WWF Raw

The show starts with the Nation Of Domination, including new WWF World Heavyweight Champion Mr. Hughes, standing in the ring. Malcolm has a mic.
Malcolm: I hear Buddy Rogers is crying about how he got "cheated" out of the World title. Well...Buddy...perhaps in the future you will get someone to read the contract to you before you sign it. Assuming any of your inbred family can actually read. Or hire a lawyer. One that you didn't find chasing an ambulance. The fact is, the contract was legit and YOU signed it. Thus, my main man Mr. Hughes is the NEW World Champion and there is nothing anyone can do about it.

The Nation's theme music starts to play again as they stand and salute in the ring.


Gorilla Monsoon: Well, it seems the Nation Of Domination are on their way to taking over. I am joined tonight by my new Raw co-anchor, Bobby "the weasel" Heenan.

Bobby Heenan: That is The Brain to you bub. Man, what did I do to deserve this. I went from being the manager of some of the best talent in the business to sitting next to monkey boy.

Gorilla Monsoon: What have you done? Where do you want me to start?

Bobby Heenan: Knowing you, I would guess you would start with a dozen hot dogs.

Gorilla Monsoon: Give me a break.


British Bulldogs vs Dream Team w/Jimmy Hart

He makes his way down to the front row and hops the barricade. He grabs a microphone after threatening the ring announcer and he enters the ring.

Steve Williams: I do not need an introduction. You all know who I am. But, you have NO clue on WHY I am here. Well, me and some of my boys have been hearing buzz about how WWF is the place to be. I got to say, I don't get it. This looks like a carnival sideshow to me. As it is, me and some of my friends are going to take over this sorry excuse for a wrestling promotion. We will have the power. We will be in control. You may not like us, but you are gonna love us.

Gorilla and Bobby discuss what Steve Williams could be talking about and how it will affect the WWF.


Midnight Rockers vs Big John Studd & King Kong Bundy

Before the match starts Bobby Heenan has the production truck show the end of the Marty Jannetty vs Big John Studd match from SummerSlam where Marty won. "You see that? Did you see that? The giant Big John lost to that pipsquak Marty. Why? Because I was not in John's corner to manage him. He would have NEVER lost to a twerp like Marty when I was managing him. But he and Bundy tossed me to the side like I was nothing. That is what they get. A loss." The crowd went wild when the reformed Midnight Rockers came out.

Marty and Big John started and Marty was keeping Big John off balance. Then Big John tagged out to King Kong Bundy. The big man, who had a recent win over Marty on Raw, had Marty in trouble. Once Marty got in a bit of offense he tagged in Shawn and the crowd popped. He came off the turnbuckle and hit a huracanrana on Bundy. Then he made the cover and Bundy was unable to kick out.

Dem Boys have been on fire since arriving in ECW and that continued in this match. This was a brutal match between two of the toughest tag teams going today.

Winner: British Bulldogs by pinfall (2 stars)


Gorilla Monsoon: We would like to apologize for that crazy disturbance earlier. Let us be clear, Steve Williams and Terry Gordy are not signed to the WWF roster and they had no right coming into the ring or over the barrier. Just like any ticketed fans they need to stay in the seating area. They were escorted out of the arena and told that if they ever hop the barricade like that again they will be arrested.

Bobby Heenan: Good riddance. I know those two and they do not need to be around here. They mocked the WWF so why are they here watching the action.


Rowdy Roddy Piper w/Bob Orton Jr vs Blackjack Mulligan

Early on Big Van Vader is using his size and power to dominate Ricochet. Then Ricochet used his speed and agility to turn things around. He stuns Vader with kicks and moves off the ropes. It looks like Vader's night might be over when Ricochet hits his 630 Senton finisher. However Vader kicks out at two and a half. Ricochet looks shocked but does not waste time. He keeps the heat on and hits his other finisher, Chocolate Rain. Vader kicks out again but he sure looks to be in trouble. A minute later a second 630 Senton finally does put him away.

The Midnight Express and James Cornette are in the interview area in back.

James Cornette: Now that we are done with those punks The Fantastics it is time to set our sights on a bigger target. I am talking about those muscle heads the Road Warriors. They have something we want. Bobby and Stan need those gold title belts around their waists. Paul, you need to break it to your boys that their time as World Tag Team Champions is coming to an end. You could say the clock has struck Midnight and it is time for them to turn back into pumpkins.


Moose w/Ric Flair vs Roderick Strong for the United States Heavyweight Championship

Roderick starts, strong, and had the champ on his heels. Things turned around when he went to whip Moose into the corner and Moose reversed it.

Joey Styles is discussing some of the matches coming up when Al Snow comes out and goes to enter the ring. Joey Styles says he has no idea what Al is doing here. Al is talking to his mannequin head and seems to be listening to what the head has to say. Then he asks for a mic.

Al Snow: Me and Head were talking, and we think it is not fair that I do not have a match on the PPV. So, if anyone in back wants to have a match come on out and face me.

The lights suddenly dim and church organ music with an eerie overtone is heard. Four boys dressed as altar boys come out, they are holding candles. They walk down to the ramp and line up two on each side. Then a large man in robes comes out, walking in a freaky fashion. He stands on the stage and removes the hood that is hiding his face. The fans cheer as they realize it is international wrestling superstar Vampiro.


Vampiro vs Al Snow

Al talks to Head then tosses it at Vampiro who catches Head. Vampiro looks at Head, leaning his head to the side. He then tosses Head to the referee and goes to headbutt Al which does nothing.

Winner: Vampiro by pinfall (2 stars)

Not long after the match finished Blackjack Mulligan came out from the back trying to make his way down to the ring. But he was surrounded by some referees and WWF officals who were trying to stop him. Mean Gene Okerlund came over to ask Blackjack what was going on. Blackjack said Piper cheated last week. He claimed that Piper had something stuffed in his cast. Something with a strange odor that made him dizzy. That is what caused him to pass out and not Piper's sleeper hold. The officials finally talked Blackjack to return to the back but he pointed at Piper in a menacing way before he did.

The officer looks them over, instructs them to stay on that side of the barricade, which they respond to by hold up their hands in a mocking show of feigning innocence and then the security officers walk off. Both men laugh and settle in to enjoy the rest of the show.

Savage dominated the Nation Of Domination member. D'lo barely got in any offense. When he did it did not take long for Savage to retake control of the match. Savage hit his finisher but D'lo was able to kick out before the pin. Shortly after Savage hit a running knee to back and got the W.

WCW Nitro


Big Van Vader vs Ricochet

This is a rematch from last week. The one difference is Vader came out without Kevin Sullivan. The word is Sullivan is no longer his manager. Early in the match Ricochet tossed Vader into the ropes. When he went for a back body drop, Vader stopped and lifted Ricochet and hit a powerbomb.

Big Van Vader used his strength to beat down Ricochet for a while. Then Ricochet started to fly around the ring and put Vader on the defensive.

A video of Ric Flair and the Four Horsemen arriving in a limo earlier in the day.


Horsemen w/Ric Flair vs Rocky Romero & Davey Richards

The latest chapter in the war between the Four Horsemen and the No Remorse Corps. These two teams knew each other very well and it showed in the match. Momentum started with one team and went to the other. Double teaming and hot tags were frequent. Christopher Daniels and Rocky Romero found themselves on the floor brawling savagely. When Rocky wrapped TV wires around Daniels neck it was too much for the referee who called for the bell.

Winner: Horsemen by DQ (3 stars)

When Horsemen are involved in a DQ they are usually on the losing side. This was a weird experience for them.

Winner: Brad Armstrong by pinfall (1 star)

Winner: Bryan Danielson via pinfall to retain (1 star)

The World Champion is celebrating in the ring with his manager when music starts playing. It is a new entrance theme. Who could it be? The answer comes quickly as international wrestling star Claudio Castagnoli walks out to the stage sporting an expensive looking suit. He points toward Bryan and then makes the belt gesture around his waist. It seems Claudio will be challenging Bryan for the World title at the PPV.



ECW Chaos


The show starts with a video of highlights from Heat Wave PPV. The last clip is of the debuting Vampiro who will be in the opening match tonight.


Vampiro vs Steve Corino

Vampiro does not come out with the big fanfare from the PPV but the lights do dim and the eerie church organ music plays. He is aggressive with Steve from the opening bell. He hit his finisher, Nail In The Coffin, and almost scored the pin. After that the men battled tooth and nail. Neither man would back down to the other. The action spilled to the floor, and they brawled around the ring. Both men grabbed a chair from the front row and swung them at each other. They started fighting into the crowd. Finally, the referee decided the match was as good as over.

Winner: none, DDQ (2 stars)

He wants to know which of them will step up and take Butcher out. Stevie raises his hand and says he will do it. Raven tells him he better. Otherwise he does not need to bother coming back to the group. Raven walks off and when he is gone Rhino slaps Stevie on the back of the head and calls Stevie a brown noser.


War Machine vs All Night Express

Shane vs Sabu

Sabu went for Shane's legs as he likes to start his matches. Shane was prepared for that and had the early advantage. The first few minutes saw neither man able to get much going. One man would get in some moves then the other would do the same. Finally, Shane started putting some big moves together. He hit each of his finishers and while not getting the pin he started to do damage to Sabu. A couple more pin attempts then a second Pittsburgh Plunge did enough damage to allow Shane to put Sabu away.

Winner: Shane via pinfall (2 stars)

Shane was not content with the win. He rolled to the floor, grabbed a chair and returned to the ring. He attacked Sabu with the chair. First he thrust it into Sabu's stomach then he hit Sabu with it a couple times. Shane set the chair up in the middle of the ring then hit a belly to belly suplex where Sabu landed hard on the chair. Sabu is laying on the mat in obvious pain as Shane stands over him looking menacing.

August Week 2, Year 1



WWF Raw


Exotic Adrian Street w/Miss Linda vs Lanny Poffo

This match was quite a sight with the two flamboyant wrestlers. Action was pretty solid for first couple minutes. Lanny looked like he was starting to put some offense together. He flew off the top rope and hit a flying elbow drop. Then he went back to the top rope and Adrian was stumbling on his feet. Lanny jumped and Adrian semi caught him and flung him to the side. Unfortunately the referee was standing there and got knocked over. With the referee down the Exotic one took advantage and was all over Lanny. He hit his finisher a pair of times but with no one to make the count Adrian just kept the beat down going. Miss Linda even got involved by sliding a chair to Adrian who smashed it over Lanny's back. Once the referee began to stir Adrian lifted Lanny up and hit a third Crucifix. The referee made a slow count but it did not matter as Lanny was completely out of it.

Winner: Exotic Adrian Street via pinfall (2 stars)

Gorilla Monsoon: Give me a break. Let's go to the video.

The video shows Gorilla Monsoon sitting at a table in a conference room waiting on Bobby and The Rising Sons.

They point at Bobby and have a nice laugh. Mr. Saito says, "Konnichiwa" to which Bobby responds, "Sushi, kamikaze, kung fu. See, I know Japanese words too". Gorilla informs him that kung fu is Chinese. Bobby says, "So what". With that The Rising Sons roar in anger, turn around and leave. Gorilla says, "See what you have done now?" Bobby's response was, "It is not my fault. My guess is they heard Godzilla was around, so they went to go hide" Gorilla just shakes his head.
