March Week 1, Year 2



WWF Raw


Gorilla Monsoon: Hello and welcome to another exciting WWF Raw. Say hello, Heenan.

Bobby Heenan: Hello Heenan.

Gorilla Monsoon: Will you cut it out. We will see Killshot, Brian Cage and Kurt Angle in action. Masa Saito will be making his return to Raw and in our main event America's Most Wanted will be taking on the Midnight Rockers. It will be a good show.


Killshot vs Dr. X

A short match that barely lasted a minute. Dr. X got rolled over and finally beaten after a 450 Splash from Killshot.

Winner: Killshot via pinfall (1 star)


Gorilla Monsoon: An impressive win by Killshot. He will be a handful for Son of Havoc in their Light Heavyweight match at WrestleMania. For now, let's go to Jim Ross who is standing by with Capt. Lou Albino and the Intercontinental Champion, "Superfly" Jimmy Snuka. It's all yours Jim.

The camera shot goes back to the interview area.

Jim Ross: Thank you, Gorilla. So, Lou, your man has a big match coming up at WrestleMania against Rick Rude. Do you think your man is ready for this newcomer?

Capt. Lou Albino: Of course he is. He is the high flying, toughest man to ever hold the IC title. Don't get me wrong. Rude is a really good wrestler. But he is not on Snuka's level.

Jim Ross: There have been some rumors that the nWa might be trying to recruit you and Snuka into their group. Is that true? If so, are you considering it?

Capt. Lou Albino: Let me tell you something brotha, of course they are trying to recruit the "Superfly" into their little group. He is one of the best and he has gold around his waist. They need us brotha, we do not need them.

He walks off and Jimmy has a strange look on his face. Snuka looks at JR and then he leaves, following Lou Albino.


Brian Cage vs Greg "The Hammer" Valentine w/Jimmy Hart

Cage was overpowering Valentine for a couple minutes. Then Valentine relied on his experience, and some cheap shots, to fight back. It looked like the match could go either way until Valentine put Cage in his Figure Four Leglock finisher. Valentine reached back and his manager grabbed his hands. The extra leverage Jimmy Hart provided was too much and Cage tapped out.

Winner: Greg Valentine by submission (2 stars)


Gorilla Monsoon: Tough loss for Cage.

Bobby Heenan: Who knew all it took to destroy a machine was just a hammer.

Gorilla Monsoon: OK, I will give you that one Brain.


Masa Saito w/Mr. Fuji vs Kurt Angle

A really good match between two top wrestlers. Saito tried to take a short cut by throwing Angle out to the floor. Then when he could, Mr. Fuji would get in some shots on Angle. Eventually Angle got going and used the Angle Lock to earn the victory.

Winner: Kurt Angle via submission (2 stars)


A promo for WrestleMania II including matches set for the PPV.

- Bret Hart vs Andre the Giant in a WWF World Championship match
- The Invaders vs America's Most Wanted in a WWF World Tag Team Championship match
- Jimmy Snuka vs Rick Rude in a WWF Intercontenential Championship match

- Hollywood Blonds vs The Moondogs

A new match has just been added to the WrestleMania card. Buddy Rogers will be looking to avenge a loss to Killer Kowalski of the Hart Foundation.

- Buddy Rogers vs Killer Kowalski


AMW vs Midnight Rockers

The Rockers were looking to beat some respect into America's Most Wanted. They held their own for a few minutes. Than AWM started to work Marty Jennetty over. Marty made the hot tag and Shawn Michaels came in like a house on fire. He worked James Storm over for a bit. The momentum did not last and AMW unleashed their offense on Shawn. He survived a few pin attempts. After giving him a good working over they hit Death Sentence and Storm pinned Shawn.

Winner: AMW by pinfall (3 stars)


AMW celebrate their victory with some beers after the match. James Storm more so than Chris Harris.




WCW Nitro


Nitro kicks off with a video package of highlights from SuperBrawl II. We have new WCW World and WCW United State Champions.


Tony Schiavone: SuperBrawl was an action packed PPV. If you missed it, you can catch the replay on your local cable provider. It is highly recommended you do not miss it. I am Tony Schiavone. Sitting next to me is Larry Zbyszko and this is WCW Nitro.

Larry Zbyszko: Excitement is in the air, Tony. We will see Juventud Guerrera of Sweet 'n' Sour International in action. Hopefully Larry Sweeney has got Juvi's jealousy and gold lust under control. Also, the Good Brothers of the America Bullet Club will take on the Four Horsemen team of Midnight Express. Mike Rotunda will lock up with Bob Armstrong and in our main event the ABC leader and former World Champion, AJ Styles, will do battle with Four Horsemen member and former US Champion, Moose.

Tony Schiavone: I am ready. Let's get to the action.


When Sweet 'n' Sour International walk down to the ring for the opening match it is shown that Larry Sweeney is holding the WCW Cruiserweight Championship title belt on his shoulder. Juventud Guerrera and DJ Z take glances both at the belt and at each other.


Juventud Guerrera w/Sweet 'n' Sour International vs "The Darewolf" PJ Black

This match started slow but kept picking up momentum as it went along. Juvi was the first to appempt a pin attempt after an Air Juvi. The PJ got on a roll and made a pin attempt. When he went for a second pin attempt Larry Sweeney made a commotion that allowed Juvi time to recover before being covered and kick out. For the next couple minutes momentum swung from one man to the other.

PJ got on a roll again and Juvi seemed to be in trouble. Larry Sweeney got on the apron and gained the referee's attention. This allowed Eli Everfly to slip into the ring and attack PJ. Juvi soon joined in and they double teamed PJ. Juvi went for the cover as Eli rolled out of the ring. Larry jumped down to the floor and the referee turned around to make the count. The time between double team and the count was too long and PJ kicked out. Meanwhile a couple officials came down and made Larry and the others return to the back. Even as Larry protested.

Juventud used his offense to really hurt PJ. He used Air Juvi, huracanrana and especially the Juvi Driver to do that. A coiuple pin covers but PJ found a way to kick out. Then Juvi made the throat cutting motion and pointed to the top of the turnbuckle. He went up and hit a 450 Splash. Juvi sat on PJ's chest, hooked a leg and counted with the referee. When PJ was able to kick out before three Juvi went nuts. He grabbed the ref's shirt and yelled in his face. The referee threatened to call for the DQ. Juvi went back on the offense and made another pin attempt. He hooked both legs and tried his best to earn the pin but PJ kicked out. Juvi walked around the ring trying to figure out what to do next. PJ, exhausted as he was, started to fight back. He hit Juvi with almost everything he had, made a few pin attempts but could not get the pin. Both men looked spent but PJ still had one move to try. He went to the high rent district and nailed Juvi with a 450 Splash of his own.

Winner: PJ Black by pinfall (5 stars)


New WCW United States Champion Michael Elgin is doing pushups in the locker room. Then he stands up, grabs the US title belt, looks it over and flips it onto his shoulder before walking out of the room.


Good Brothers w/AJ Styles vs Midnight Express w/James E Cornette

A decent tag match that saw both teams put the squeeze on the other. Bobby Eaton rocked "Machine Gun" Karl Anderson with an Alabama Jam. The Good Brothers fought back. A couple times it looked like Cornette was going to get involved but Styles would come around or simply point at him. The Good Brothers hit Magic Killer on Stan Lane and Karl Anderson pinned him.

Winner: Good Brothers via pinfall (2 stars)


A replay of the announcement from the PPV about the coming of the United States Tag Team Championship.


A lowrider pulls up into the parking lot in back. The doors open and exiting from the car are PN News, Disco Inferno and Zicky Dice. PN News motions for the cameraman to get closer.

PN News: Yo, you are looking at the most fly crew in all of wrestling. This here is the 3 Live Dance Crew. You dig?

With that he walks off with Disco and Zicky right behind him.


Mike Rotunda vs "Bullet" Bob Armstrong

The men put on a wrestling show for a minute or two. Then Bob caught Mike with a jumping knee and went for the cover. After Mike kicked out Bob waited till he got to his feet and slapped on his Sleeper finisher. Mike struggled for a bit then forced his way back into a corner causing Bob to release the hold. After another unsuccesful pin attempt Bob decided to take the action to the floor for some reason. Bob went after him and both men started brawling. They were figting around the ring. The referee came out and ordered both men back into the ring. They stopped slugging it out but as Bob tried to enter the ring Mike went back to attacking him. When he ignored the referee, he cost himself the match.

Winner: Bob Armstrong by disqualification (2 stars)


Having lost the match Mike continued to beat down on Bob. That brought out Bob's son, Brad, who ran down and chased Mike off. Brad checked on his dad who had been roughed over but seemed alright overall.


The Russians are in a locker room.

Nikita Koloff: Why did you not let me finish the match at SuperBrawl? We had those James boys beat but you got scared of a damn woman.

A hard slap from Ivan across Nikita's face. It looked like Nikita might respond in a physical way, but he held back.

Ivan Koloff: I am afraid of no one. But wrestling is a man's sport. Women have no place in it. I would not embarass the sport, embarass myself by facing a mere woman in the ring. I would not allow you to do the same either. We will get our revenge on The James Gang and make them pay for their disrespect at SuperBrawl by trying to suggest a woman was on the level of not just men, but RUSSIAN men. This, Chyna, needs to get back into the kitchen and cook. She had no business being around a ring yet alone in it.


AJ Styles w/Good Brothers vs Moose w/Rick Flair

Before the match started Flair mocked AJ about not having his World title. Moose laughed and AJ asked where Moose's title belt was. That caused Moose to stop laughing and rush at AJ. Bad move as AJ ducked a clothesline and laid Moose out with a running enzuigiri. Not long after AJ made a cover but Moose kicked out. AJ kept the heat on. He hit the bigger man with Spinal Tap, Rack Bomb, shoulder blocks off the top rope and Pele Kicks till Moose was stumbling and way off his game. Flair was going nuts on the floor but could not get involved because the Good Brothers had their eyes on him. AJ Styles finally ended the match after a Styles Clash.

Winner: AJ Styles via pinfall (1 styles)


The Good Brothers enter the ring to celebrate with AJ while Ric Flair looks on. Moose rolls out to the floor. After catching his breath he seems to want to reenter the ring but Flair stops him. Flair leads Moose to the back as he reassures Moose things will be alright.




ECW Chaos


Joey Styles: Welcome to ECW Chaos. If you watched the last Chaos, and really there is no reason why you shouldn't have, you saw a mysterious woman cross paths with Val Venis. Then something off camera seemed to scare Val. Since then, Val has not been seen. What did he see and where is he? Hopefully we find out sooner rather than later.


The opening promo with highlights of matches, heavy on the violence.


One Man Gang w/Sir Oliver Humperdink vs Rohit Raju

One Man Gang used his size and power to gain an early advantage. But Raju refused to go down without a fight. He fought back and used hit and run tactics. After a finisher, Mumbai Drive By, Humperdink distracted the referee to help his man. Raju kept to his game plan and after a second Mumbai Drive By he was able to pin OMG.

Winner: Rohit Raju via pinfall (2 stars)


In a field surrounded by trees, late at night, Kevin Sullivan and B. J. Whitmer are walking.

B. J. Whitmer: When will they arrive?

Kevin Sullivan: Soon. Soon. When the moon reaches its full form the armies of the four winds will gather. From The East, the West, the North and the South they shall come upon my calling. Then our reign of terror will be allowed to begin. None will be able to oppose us. The tag team division will be the foundation of which our kingdom will be built.


Raven vs RVD

As the match started, Raven was still sitting in a corner. He showed no sign of wanting to be in the match, so RVD just shrugged and hit a low dropkick. RVD dragged Raven into the middle of the ring and worked him over a bit. Then Raven finally reacted and he fought back. He stomped on RVD before going to the floor and collecting a chair. He set it up in the ring and hit a drop toe hold on RVD causing his face to smash into the chair. Raven kept causing RVD pain and used the chair now and then. Raven hit an Evenflow DDT but RVD kicked out. Raven laid the chair on the mat, lifted RVD and hit a piledriver onto the chair. RVD was busted open, blood flowing down his face. Then an Evenflow DDT onto the chair a minute later was enough to get the win.

Winner: Raven by pinfall (2 stars)


The Franchise, Shane Douglas, the current ECW World Heavyweight Champion is sitting in a suite with Francine hanging on his arm and "The Roughneck" Mr. Hughes standing behind them.

Shane Douglas: Ah ha, it sure is great being the champ. The finest suites when I am not wrestling. The finest champaign. Simply the best of everything. That is why it is the best to be on top. It is why I plan on staying on top. Be it the tub of lard Samoa Joe or anyone else. No one and I mean NO ONE is taking this from me.

He taps the title belt which sits on a table next to him.


Pit Bulls vs LWO w/Super Crazy

A fun tag team match that saw the teams trying hard to gain an upper hand over the other. Bandido tried to end the match fast with a 21 Plex on Pit Bull #1, but it was too early. Pit Bulls gained control. Then Pit Bull #2 threw Rush into the corner. He went for a big splash but got a boot to the face. Rush went on the attack against #2 but could not get the pin. The Pit Bulls regained control and tried to finish Rush with a Super Bomb. Bandido tried to make a save but he was cut off. Rush was able to kick out in time anyways. A bit later the Pit Bulls hit a second Super Bomb. This time Super Crazy entered the ring and attacked Pit Bull #1. Rush tried to pin him but no luck. A few more minutes of back-and-forth then the match finally ended after the Pit Bulls hit a Super Bomb on Bandido and #2 pinned him.

Winner: Pit Bulls via pinfall (3 stars)


Rush checks on Bandido as he glares at the Pit Bulls.


The Motor City Machine Guns cut a promo about how they have beat all the best tag teams in ECW. Alex Shelley asks, "Who haven't we beat". Then both men repeat "who" numerous times before Chirs Sabin says, "Oh I know". A pause then both men say, "LAX".


Rhino vs Sami Callihan in an ECW TV Championship match

The champion rushed Sami before the bell giving him an early advantage. Sami showed his toughness when he kicked out after a Gore! to stay alive in the match. Sami used an eye poke to start his offense. He tried pin attempts and submission holds but Rhino refused to be beat. Sami took the action out to the floor where he sat Rhino on a chair. He then ran around the ring and hit a clothesline on the champ. Back in the ring Sami put Rhino in a Stretch Muffler again. This time Rhino could not deal with the pain anymore and he tapped.

Winner: Sami Callihan by submission to win the title (2 stars)


The new champion is handed the TV title belt. He then pulls a small box that resembles a remote out of his pocket, pushes a button and the lights go out. When the lights come back on Sami is gone.

March Week 2, Year 2



WWF Raw


Gorilla Monsoon: Hello and welcome to WWF Raw. I am Gorilla Monsoon and as always, I am joined by the infamous Bobby Heenan. Possible manager of the next Intercontinental Champion.

Bobby Heenan: I have no idea what you are talking about, Gorilla. I am not managing anyone right now.

Gorilla Monsoon: So you say, so you say. But I did not say you were managing someone right now. Anyways, we have an exciting show lined up for you tonight. Let's not waste any more time and go down to the ring for our opening match.

Bobby Heenan: Managing someone? What have you heard, Gorilla?


"Speedball" Mike Bailey vs "All Day" Marshe Rockett

Things were even for a minute or two but after that it was all Bailey. He used his finishers, but Marshe refused to be beat easily. Bailey used some submission moves but still could not get the win. A buzzsaw kick finally put Marshe away.

Winner: "Speedball" Mike Bailey by pinfall (2 stars)


Andre the Giant is going over strategy with Buddy Rogers for Buddy's match against Big John Studd in the main event. Andre has beat Studd before and he is telling Buddy how he can beat the larger man. Buddy is using this match as a warmup for his match against Killer Kowalski at WrestleMania II.


Masa Saito w/Mr. Fuji vs Keith Steinborn

Masa Saito dominated most of the match but every time it looked like he was ready to put Keith away Keith would counter. Keith just could not follow up and string some offense together. Finally, after a few frustrating minutes Masa Saito placed Keith in a Scorpion Leglock and made him tap.

Winner: Masa Saito via submission (2 stars)


Saito's manager grabbed a microphone and entered the ring.

Mr. Fuji: Masa Saito wants a rematch with that pathetic symbol of the arrogance of America, Kurt Angle. Masa Saito wants to face, and defeat, Kurt Angle at WrestleMania. Unless he is too much of a coward to accept Masa Saito will see you at WrestleMania Angle-san.


A promo from America's Most Wanted. They say they took care of the boy band Midnight Rockers last week and at WrestleMania II they will take care of The Invaders and bring the WWF World Tag Team Championship back to the WWF camp.


British Bulldogs vs PG-13

J.C. Ice started against the Dynamite Kid and the first thing J.C. did was go and slap Davey Boy Smith across the face. As Davey tried to get in and the referee prevented him Wolfie D came in and helped J.C. double team Dynamite Kid. It gave PG-13 the early advantage but soon things swung to the former Tag Team Champions. While on the floor J.C. grabbed a chair to use on Dynamite Kid. Wolfie D distracted the referee, but the Kid ducked a chair swing, kicked J.C. in the gut and took the chair away. He smacked J.C. on the back with the chair and rolled him into the ring. From there the Bulldogs dominated J.C. yet could not put him away. Wolfie D made one save but it was not enough. After a few minutes Dynamite Kid hit a Diving Head Butt and rolled J.C. up for the pin.

Winner: British Bulldogs by pinfall (2 stars)


A promo for WrestleMania II including matches set for the PPV.

Buddy Rogers vs Big John Studd

The leader of the nWa kept the larger Big John Studd on his heels with his speed and agility. Every time it looked like Studd might get something going Rogers would duck a move or run away from him until he could hit something on Studd. Early on Rogers tried to get the pin with his feet on the ropes to no avail. After a few minutes Rogers showed some power when he lifted Studd up and hit a piledriver. It looked like that would be it, but Studd had a bit left in him and he kicked out. Rogers motioned the match was over and he slapped on his Figure Four Grapevine finisher. Studd was in pain, and he tapped out.

Winner: Buddy Rogers via submission (2 stars)


Just as Raw is about to go off the air a camera catches Andre the Giant choking out WWF World Champion Bret Hart in back. Bret is on his knees while Andre wraps his massive hands around Bret's throat.




WCW Nitro


Tony Schiavone: This is WCW Nitro, the most exciting night of wrestling action each and every week. I am joined by Larry Zbyszko. Run down the show for us Larry.

Larry Zbyszko: My pleasure Tony. We will see the newest member of the WCW roster, P.N. News in action, Brad Armstrong goes for revenge for his father against Mike Rotunda, the Powers of Pain will be in action against Rock-n-Roll Express and in our main event the new US Heavyweight champion Michael Elgin will be taking on Tiger Mask in a non-title match.

Tony Schiavone: Sounds great. Let's get Nitro started.


P.N. News w/Zicky Dice and Disco Inferno vs Mike Jackson

The members of the 3 Live Dance Crew came out dancing their way down to the ring. P.N. News was still dancing when the bell rang to being the match, so Mike Jackson took advantage and attacked News. Mike was looking good against the younger, bigger man. He went for his Float-Over Cradle finisher, but News kicked out. A bit more offense and Mike tried a second Float-Over Cradle to try and gain the win. Zicky Dice jumped on the apron and yelled at the referee. The referee came over and ordered Zicky to the back. Zicky argued but when the referee threatened to disqualify News he stopped and went to return to the back. When Disco Inferno joined him Zicky told him to stay out there to help News, but Disco waved him off and the two men went into the back.

Mike tried to keep the heat on when he used his finisher a third time but again News kicked out. Till this point Mike had been pretty much perfect. Then he made a big mistake by trying a running cross body block. He just bounced off the ample belly of News. Finally, News was able to catch his breath and go on the attack. He showed impressive athletic ability when he hit Mike with a dropkick. A pin attempt led to a two, so P.N. News went to the high rent district. He flew off and hit his finisher, Broken Record. It took a bit for News to make the cover and in that time, Mike wiggled himself closer to the ropes so as News covered him, he put his leg on the bottom rope for the break. Soon after a belly-to-belly suplex almost got the three but Mike rolled his shoulder to avoid the pin. News sensed the end was near and climbed to the top again for a high risk move. A second Broken Record led to the end of the match.

Winner: P.N. News via pinfall (3 stars)


P.N. News took a moment to catch his breath and then he started dancing. He went around to dance with the ringside fans before heading into the back.


Mike Rotunda vs Brad Armstrong

To kick off the action Mike grabbed Brad in a headlock, and he gave him an eye poke. Mike overestimated the damage it did as he was leisure like, and Brad recovered. Brad tried some offense but found himself on the defense soon enough. Mike tried an abdominal stretch, but he grabbed the rope. It almost got him the submission till the referee caught him grabbing the rope. Mike followed up with a Butterfly Suplex finisher. He went for a casual cover and Brad kicked out. Mike showed some frustration but kept on the attack and hit a second Butterfly Suplex. He then got the win.

Winner: Mike Rotunda by pinfall (1 star)


A replay of the announcement from the PPV about the coming of the United States Tag Team Championship.


Tony Schiavone: As you just saw we will soon be crowing the first ever United States Tag Team champions. That tournament will start next week here on Nitro. Here are the matchups in the first round. In Group A it will be the Midnight Express taking on their bitter enemies, the Rock-n-Roll Express. The winner that match will advance to take on the winner of the other Group A opening round match between Powers of Pain and 3 Live Dance Crew consisting of Zicky Dice and Disco Inferno. Meanwhile over in Group B it will be The James Gang taking on their hated foes, The Russians. The winner there will face the winner between reDRagon and Sweet 'n' Sour International consisting of Juventud Guerrera and Eli Everfly. It should be a really good tournament. Two of the teams in the tournament are in our next match as the Powers of Pain square off with Rock-n-Roll Express.


Powers of Pain vs Rock-n-Roll Express

Robert Gibson started hot against The Barbarian but then he made the bad decision of trying to body slam the bigger man. It allowed The Barbarian to get his offense going. For several minutes the Powers of Pain overpowered the Express. Gibson and Morton did all they could to stay in the match. Powers of Pain used double team moves and tried to pin Morton including after Power Head Butt. The Express kept themselves in the match and soon they were flying around the ring. They double teamed The Barbarian and hit their Double Dropkick finisher. Ricky Morton folded The Barbarian in half and put all of his weight on the big guy to get the pin.

Winner: Rock-n-Roll Express via pinfall (3 stars)


Bob Armstrong is talking to his son Brad about trying to beat Mike Rotunda. Bob tells Brad he has tons of ability, but he seems to go into matches without a game plan. Bob says Brad needs to start using his brain otherwise his career will go nowhere.


"Unbreakable" Michael Elgin vs Tiger Mask in a non-title match

The former WCW Cruiserweight Champion, Tiger Mask, held his own against the WCW US Heavyweight Champion, Michael Elgin, for a few minutes. Things changed when Tiger Mask tried a flying crossbody attack. The powerful Elgin caught Tiger Mask and then hit a fallaway slam. Then a Black Hole Slam and another fallaway slam led to Elgin hitting his finisher, Elgin Bomb. That was all he needed to pick up the W.

Winner: "Unbreakable" Michael Elgin by pinfall (1 star)




ECW Chaos


When Chaos comes on the air, we see a larger man wearing a brown jacket that says "Police" on the front, an American flag shirt underneath, an American flag bandana and sunglasses with the flag on the lenses walking around, opening doors and apparently looking for something. He stops a woman with a clipboard and a wearable microphone.

Dick Justice: Excuse me, I am "Supercop" Dick Justice, and I am here to investigate the case of one missing Val Venis. I need to talk to someone in charge. Where can I find the person in charge?

She points down the hall and tells him "the last door on the left". He thanks her and walks off in that direction.


Joey Styles: "Supercop" Dick Justice? Well at least SOMEONE is looking for the missing Val Venis. Welcome everyone, this is ECW Chaos.


The opening promo with highlights of matches, heavy on the violence.


Joey Styles: Time for our first match as Abdullah the Butcher tries to do what One Man Gang could not. That is beat Rohit Raju. Let's go to the ring.


Abdullah the Butcher w/Sir Oliver Humperdink vs Rohit Raju

Abdullah used his size, power moves, submission moves and a metal spike he pulled from his wrestling gear to wear down Rohit over a few minutes. Rohit tried to fight back a couple times, but he could not do much damage. After Abdullah jammed the spike into Rohit's forehead for a fourth time Rohit just flopped down to the mat and Abdullah laid on top of him. The referee counted to three to end the match.

Winner: Abdullah the Butcher by pinfall (2 stars)


A promo video from the Pit Bulls. They say the Motor City Machine Guns have not beat them. In fact, the MCMG have not even faced them. How could they forget the baddest tag team in ECW?


The MCMG are standing in the interview area.

Alex Shelley: Pit Bulls? Pit Bulls? Did we forget the Pit Bulls?

Chris Sabin: Huh. I thought it was your turn to walk them.

Alex Shelley: You sure? I thought it was your turn.

Chris Sabin: No, no I am pretty sure it was your turn. Well either way, once the ECW staff cleans up their mess due to us not walking them, we will face them in the ring tonight.

Alex Shelley: Remember people, spade and neuter your pets.

Chris Sabin: That is what we are going to do tonight.

Both men put on cheesy smiles and point to "Detroit" on their hands.


Ken Shamrock vs Sabu w/Abdullah Farouk

Sabu dove at Ken's legs and Ken moved the first time but the second time Sabu caught him and brought him down to the mat. Sabu with a tad bit of offense but a spinning leg lariat misses its mark and Ken tore into the suicidal, homicidal, genocidal one known as Sabu. He worked over Sabu's leg and then applied an Ankle Lock. Sabu wiggled and twisted till he fought out of the hold. Ken hit a body slam and went for the cover a pair of times. After the second slam Abdullah looked like he might do something but a glare from Ken made him change his mind. Ken was getting heated as he had not got the win and applied the Ankle Lock again. After 15-20 seconds Sabu finally tapped.

Winner: Ken Shamrock via submission (1 star)


He grabs a microphone after winning.

Ken Shamrock: I have excelled in MMA. I have excelled in wrestling as I won the ECW World Championship. I am thinking about seeing the two worlds converge. I am throwing out an open challenge to anyone in ECW to face me in a wrestling-MMA hybrid match. We have three rounds of three minutes each. You can win via pin or submission. However, if after the third round there is no winner, we go to the judges to see who won the match. The three judges will score the rounds based on performance, aggression, amount of time in control and results. Who will step up and face me?


In the back hallways "Supercop" Dick Justice is walking around and talking to some of the ECW work crew. The Sandman is leaning against a wall smoking and drinking a can of beer.

The Sandman: Hey Dick.

A surprised Dick Justice stops what he is doing and walks over toward The Sandman with a puzzled look on his face.

Dick Justice: I am sorry, do I know you? Have we met before?

The Sandman: Hell no. I have never laid eyes on you before. What is your name and what are you doing back here?

Dick Justice: My name? But you...(he shakes his head) never mind. I am "Supercop" Dick Justice, and I am looking for the missing Val Venis. I am trying to figure out what happened to him. Do you know anything about this case or where he might be?

As he waits for a response The Sandman takes a long drag on his cigarette and then blows the smoke into Dick's face.

The Sandman: Not a clue. Why don't you go check the men's shower? Of course something tells me you already have. More than once.

With that he walks off laughing as Dick Justice stands there with an express of one who has been insulted on his face.


MCMG vs Pit Bulls

The Guns looked very impressive as they dominated the Pit Bulls. They were working over Pit Bull #1 for a couple minutes. Alex Shelley tagged Chris Sabin in, and they performed Thunder Express. Then Sabin lifted #1 and hit a nasty Cradle Shock for the victory.

Winner: MCMG by pinfall (1 star)


The Guns have no time to celebrate because the ECW World Tag Team Champions, LAX, rush out and jump them right after the match. LAX brough chairs and smashed both members of the Guns from behind. Then they stomp and punch them. Homicide uses his finisher on Sabin and Hernandez uses his on Shelley. The champs, holding up LA hand signs, stand tall over their likely first challengers.


Samoa Joe vs The Sandman

The former World Champion made his way thru the crowd, smoking and drinking as he went. His entrance was in contrast to Joe's and lasted longer than the match. Samoa Joe came down all business and got in the ring. The bell rang and The Sandman grabbed Joe, tossing him into the corner. The Sandman ran in and was on the receiving end of a ST Joe. Then Joe used the Coquina Clutch to submit The Sandman. The match was over in under a minute.

Winner: Samoa Joe via submission (1 star)


The referee tries to raise Joe's arm as the victor but Joe yanks it away. Joe walks to the ropes and motions for a mic. He is handed one and stands in the middle of the ring. The fans patiently wait for Joe to finally speak since returning. He glares into the camera, slowly raises the microphone and then slowly lowers it. His nose flares and he lifts the microphone again. He holds it in front of his mouth for a few seconds and then tosses it to the mat. He holds up three fingers in the Triple Threat hand gesture then shakes his head before making the throat cutting gesture. He has not spoken but he sure has said a lot as he sends a message to the Franchise Shane Douglas, the ECW World Heavyweight Champion.

March Week 3, Year 2



WWF Raw


Gorilla Monsoon: Hello and welcome to the last Raw before WrestleMania. I am your host Gorilla Monsoon, and this sharply dressed man is Bobby Heenan.

Bobby Heenan: Thank you for noticing Monsoon. Did you know that GQ magazine wanted to name itself The Bobby Heenan, but they did not offer me enough money.

Gorilla Monsoon: Will you give me a break. You are too much.

Bobby Heenan: Yes, my price is too much for ham and eggers like you. But the rich happily pay it.

Gorilla Monsoon: Moving on we have a great show for you. The Hollywood Blonds face the Killer Bees, Brian Cage has a rematch with "The Hammer" Greg Valentine and in our main event your main Rick Rude will be in action.

Bobby Heenan: My man? What are you talking about, Gorilla? He is not my man. I do not manage anymore.

Gorilla Monsoon: I just meant you are a big fan of his. But since you brought up managing...

Bobby Heenan: No time for jibber jabber, let's go to the ring for our opening match.

Gorilla Monsoon: Saved by the opening bell huh Bobby?


Kikutaro vs Frogman Leblanc

When Kikutaro came out he was holding a bucket of KFC and eating a chicken leg as he made his way to the ring. Gorilla points out that it was good news for Leblanc that Kikutaro liked chicken and not frog legs.
Once the match started it did not last long. Kikutaro hit a few moves and then used his finisher, Shining Kikuzard, to finish Leblanc off.

Winner: Kikutaro via pinfall (1 star)


Once he had the win Kikutaro went to the timekeeper's table and grabbed his basket of chicken. He started to return toward the back as he slapped hands with ringside fans when a fan tried to grab a piece of chicken out of the bucket. Kikutaro pulled the bucket away and waved a no-no finger. The fan offered him a beer in exchange. Kikutaro thought about it a bit the nodded his head. The fan gave him a beer and he gave the fan a chicken leg. Both seemed very happy about the trade.


Hollywood Blonds vs Killer Bees

B. Brian Blair started hot against "Flyin" Brian Pillman. After a minute or so of strong offense Blair tagged Jim Brunzell in. Jim went to keep the heat on, but it did not last long. Pillman used knife edge chops to redden Jim's chest. Pillman used some more offense then he tagged "Stunning" Steve Austin in. Austin beat on Jim from pillar to post. Every so often Steve added insult to injury by pretending to use an old fashion movie camera. After an unsuccessful pin attempt Steve tagged Pillman back in. After a short time, Pillman tried for the win with Air Pillman, but Jim kicked out. Then Brian went to the top rope and flew off with a flying headscissors. He rolled Jim up and got the pin.

Winner: Hollywood Blonds by pinfall (2 stars)


Gorilla Monsoon: The Hollywood Blonds look ready for their match with The Moondogs at WrestleMania.

Bobby Heenan: I just hope they got their rabies shots because I do not think the Moondogs have.

A laugh from Gorilla.

Gorilla Monsoon: Let's go to our colleague Jim Ross with info on WWF coming to a town near you.


Jim Ross talks about some WWF house shows and a couple Raws that will happen post WrestleMania II.


Brian Cage vs Greg "The Hammer" Valentine w/Jimmy Hart

An angry Brian Cage paced in the ring till the bell rang and then he rushed Valentine. Cage used his power to wear Valentine down. A series of power moves and then before Jimmy could do anything to help his man Cage performed Weapon X and pinned Valentine.

Winner: Brian Cage via pinfall (1 star)


A promo for WrestleMania II including matches set for the PPV.

- Bret Hart vs Andre the Giant in a WWF World Championship match
- The Invaders vs America's Most Wanted in a WWF World Tag Team Championship match
- Jimmy Snuka vs Rick Rude in a WWF Intercontinental Championship match
- Son of Havoc vs Killshot in a WWF Light Heavyweight Championship match
- Hollywood Blonds vs The Moondogs
- Buddy Rogers vs Killer Kowalski
- Masa Saito vs Kurt Angle


Gorilla Monsoon: It is almost time for WrestleMania. Are you as excited as I am, Heenan?

He turns toward Bobby only to find his seat empty. That is when Jim Ross walks in.

Gorilla Monsoon: Not that I am not happy to see you Ross but what are you doing here?

Jim Ross: I ran into Bobby Heenan in the hallway. He said he had something personal to take care of and asked me to fill in for him.

Gorilla Monsoon: Of course he did. I forgot. Rick Rude is in our main event. Well, have a seat JR and let's get ready for that main event.


Rick Rude w/Unknown Manager vs Virgil

As the Unknown Manager is helping Rick Rude take his robe off the bell rings. So, Virgil hits Rude with an elbow smash. That just angered Rude who grabbed Virgil and hit him with a backbreaker. Rude controlled most of the action but Virgil had a few offensive spurts. Rude went for a pin after a piledriver and a couple minutes later after a swinging neckbreaker. Rude finally put Virgil away with a Rude Awakening. Rick Rude looks ready for his title match at WrestleMania II.

Winner: Rick Rude by pinfall (2 stars)


A promo from Bret Hart. He says Andre put a beat on him last week, but he is still standing. Many people think he has no chance against the Giant. But they said the same about Jack. They said the same about David. Just like the two of them, Bret says he will slay a Giant.




WCW Nitro


The show starts with video of the three members of America Bullet Club arriving to the arena. Soon after they enter, they are jumped by all four members of the Four Horsemen and Ric Flair. ABC put up a fight, but the numbers game is too much for them. Finally, WCW officials and security arrive on the scene. The Horsemen stop the beat down and Flair leads them off.


Tony Schiavone: Things are heating up between the America Bullet Club and the Four Horsemen. Of course, things are always hot here on WCW Nitro.

Larry Zbyszko: Just like me on the golf course, Tony. Hot, hot, hot. Tonight, will be no exception as we kick off the tournament to crown the first United States Tag Team Champions.

Tony Schiavone: That is correct, Larry. We have two opening round matches tonight. Powers of Pain against 3 Live Dance Crew and in our main event it will be the Midnight Express going up against the Rock-n-Roll Express. But we have other great wrestling action before we get there so let's go to the ring to kick things off.


Flamita vs Lio Rush

A one-sided affair as Lio was on fire from bell to bell. He wore Flamita down for a couple minutes then used Dragon's Call to finish him off.

Winner: Lio Rush by pinfall (1 star)


The WCW World Tag Team Champions, the Road Warriors, are in a gym pumping iron.

Paul Ellering: A lot of focus on crowning the US Tag Team Champions. But who is going to step up and challenge my boys the WORLD Tag Team Champions? They are getting bored with no real competition. Come on WCW. FInd someone to push Animal and Hawk. I know you cannot find someone who can beat them but at least let them work up a sweat.


Larry Zbyszko: The Powers of Pain are coming into this US Tag Team Tournament match on a bit of a losing skid. But facing the goofs of the 3 Live Dance Crew should change their fortunes around.

Powers of Pain vs 3 Live Dance Crew w/P.N. News in a US Tag Team Tournament match

It looked like on paper that the Powers would overpower the Crew and get an easy win. But there is a reason the matches are not decided by how they look on paper. Zicky Dice held his own against The Barbarian and started to get the better of the large man. The Barbarian tagged out soon as he could, and Warlord did overpower Zicky for a bit. Then he missed a move and Zicky was back in control. He tagged Disco Inferno in who used hit and run tactics to keep the larger man off guard. Disco hit a diving forearm and he went for the pin, a handful of tights as he did. He was able to keep Warlord's shoulders on the mat for a count of three to get the win.

Winner: 3 Live Dance Crew via pinfall to advance (2 stars)


The Powers of Pain stand in the ring, completely stunned, as 3 Live Dance Crew celebrate with the fans before dancing their way into the back.


A promo for the "Golden Boy" Danny Spivey. He is wearing a University of Georgia letterman jacket and holding a football.

Danny Spivey: I excelled at football and now I will excel in wrestling. I have come to WCW to run over my competition just like I used to run over offensive linemen, running backs and quarterbacks. Smile everybody, the Golden Boy has arrived.


Big Van Vader vs Mike Graham

Vader made a mistake to start the match by trying to hit a dropkick, but Graham just moved, and Vader crashed onto the mat. Then Mike tried to follow up with a drop toe hold but after that Vader grabbed him and slugged him. Vader hit some power moves and ended the match with a Vader Bomb.

Winner: Big Van Vader by pinfall (1 star)


America Bullet Club are dealing with their bumps and bruises they received from the Horsemen beat down. They talk about how the numbers game got them today. AJ says it is time to even the numbers. He pulls out his phone and makes a call.

AJ Styles: Hey Adam, I have a business offer for you.


Tony Schiavone: While the Powers of Pain came in off a loss last week the team that beat them, the Rock-n-Roll Express, are looking to build off the momentum of that match and beat their long time rivals the Midnight Express.

Midnight Express w/James E Cornette vs Rock-n-Roll Express in a US Tag Team Tournament match

The Rock-n-Roll Express were pumped up for this match, but it is possible they used to much energy on their way to the ring trying to get the crowd behind them. Because once the match began the Midnight Express were all over them. Bobby wore Ricky down and after hitting an Alabama Jam, he tried a pin attempt. Ricky kicked out and Bobby went to his corner and tagged Stan Lane. They performed Dark Side/Veg-O-Matic and Stan Lane made a cover, hooking a leg, and got the pin. A surprisingly short, one-sided match.

Winner: Midnight Express via pinfall to advance (1 star)


Larry Zbyszko: It is beginning to look like the Midnight Express have the Rock-n-Roll Express's number.
Tony Schiavone: So true, Larry. The R-n-R have to be thinking they cannot beat the Midnight Express by this point. Well, we have come to the end of our show. Thank you for watching and join us next week for another exciting Nitro.




ECW Chaos


Chaos comes on the air and The Sandman is walking with a beer in one hand, a lit cigarette in the other and a sour look on his face. He suddenly stops and his expression brightens up with a smile.
The Sandman: Well, hello little lady. You know, a lot of people including a Dick are looking for you. They have questions about Val Venis.

The woman seen before in a lucha libre style wrestling outfit walks into the shot. She takes his beer and takes a drink. She hands it back, takes the cigarette and takes a puff. She slowly exhales the smoke. The Sandman is smiling more and looking her up and down when something grabs his attention from behind her.

The Sandman: What in blazes is that?

A large half man, half lizard thing walks into the shot, grabs The Sandman and starts dragging him off. They disappear from the camera shot as The Sandman is heard cussing and then a loud crashing sound is heard. The woman takes a puff and blows the smoke into the camera lens and the shot ends.


We next see a horrified Joey Styles in the crow's nest.

Joey Styles: Oh my god!!! What was that? It looked like a dinosaur. What did it do with The Sandman? What is going on around this place? Where is "Supercop" Dick Justice when you need him?


The opening promo with highlights of matches, heavy on the violence.


Joey Styles: Ok. Sorry about that. I have calmed down. Especially since ECW officials have put a couple security members outside my door. We have a fun show for you tonight. RVD, Super Crazy, former TV champion Rhino and Mr. Hughes will be in action tonight. Then in our main event. ECW World Tag Team Champions LAX will be defending their titles against the Motor City Machine Guns. That should be a really good match as the teams are pretty evenly matched. Let's get the fun started.


RVD vs Matt Stryker

Rob and Matt locked up to start the match, but it was a stalemate, so they let up. Then Rob shoved Matt down and hit a standing moonsault. From there RVD dominated. He hit a Five Star Frog Splash but seemed to knock the win out of himself. It took a couple moments to catch his breath and make the cover. That allowed Matt to kick out. RVD kept going and hit a Van Daminator kicking a chair into Matt's face. Then RVD went to the tope rope, but Matt met him up there. RVD ended up hitting a power bomb off the top. RVD rushed to the opposite corner, went up and hit a second Five Star Frog Splash. That was all she wrote.

Winner: RVD via pinfall (1 star)


Shortly after having his arm raised RVD asked for a microphone.

RVD: I heard Ken Shamrock throw out a challenge for an MMA like wrestling match. Hey, I am always open to try something new. So, what the heck. I'm your Huckleberry. I accept Ken.


Super Crazy w/LWO vs Rhino

This match was between two angry men. Super Crazy has been struggling in matches lately and that has not set well with him. Rhino lost the ECW TV title to Sami Callihan, and he was not happy about that. Super Crazy started good but then Rhino's size advantage swung momentum in his favor. A running powerslam led to a two count. Rhino followed up with a Death Valley Driver. He went for the pin which brought Bandido into the ring. As the referee stopped him from doing anything Rush came in from the other side, grabbed Rhino and hit a Rush Driver. He rolled Super Crazy onto Rhino and leapt over the top rope. Bandido exited the ring and the referee turned around to make the count.

Winner: Super Crazy by pinfall (2 stars)


After the LWO returned to the back Rhino had recovered in the ring. He looked extremely upset. He took off running toward the back.


Sitting in a dark room only lit by a couple computer monitors is new TV Champion Sami Callihan.

Sami Callihan: I told you. I told you but you did not believe me. I said I had beat Rhino before and would beat him again to win this. (Shows the TV title). It looks like he is a bit busy with the LWO so probably won't be getting a rematch. That begs the question. Who will be stepping up for a shot at the champ. It does not matter because whoever it is, they will lose. I am going to be the greatest TV champ ever. I am Sami Callihan and if someone wants the TV title belt they will have to pry it from my cold, dead hands.
He presses a button on the keyboard, and everything goes black.


"The Roughneck" Mr. Hughes vs Rocky Kernodle

The Roughneck came down to his entrance music, MC Lyte's Ruffneck song, and the music kept playing during the whole match, short that it was. Mr. Hughes rolled over Rocky with power moves like a big boot to face and released gut wrench. After a minute and half of beating on Rocky he used his finisher, Spike Slam. The referee counted and when he got to two Mr. Hughes pulled Rocky's shoulders off the mat. Mr. Hughes ignored the ref abolishing him and hit a second Spike Slam. This time he placed one hand on Rocky's chest and got the pin.

Winner: "The Roughneck" Mr. Hughes via pinfall (1 star)


Sitting in a dimly lit small room Dick Justice is watching a monitor playing the video of what happened at the start of Chaos involving the kidnapping of The Sandman.

Dick Justice: Hmm. Appears to be a Vibora of some kind. A human/snake hybrid. I have heard tales and rumors of them but never seen one. Well, not till now.

He turns to face the camera.

Dick Justice: I want to get to the bottom of this. Vibora, I want you and that woman you are with to meet me in the middle of the ring next week. We all want some answers and I plan on getting them.


LAX vs MCMG in a ECW World Tag Team Championship match

This was a fast paced, exciting tag match. The Guns started strong. They made tags to stay fresh as they worked Homicide over. Then Alex tossed Homicide into the corner and Homicide bounced out with a vicious lariat. Homicide stomped on Alex a bit and then tagged out. Hernandez, the power man of the four, brutalized Alex. After a Crackerjack he attempted a pin, but Alex kicked out.

Hernandez tagged Homicide back in and LAX was still in control. Homicide took the action to the floor where one would think he would have an advantage. But as they brawled Alex won the exchange. He tossed Homicide into the ring and went to the high rent district. He flew off with a frog splash. After a bit more offense he tagged Chris Sabin, and they performed the double team move Thunder Express. Chris hit a Cradle Shock, but Homicide kicked out. Soon after Chris hit another one. Hernandez came in to try and save his partner, but he was cut off by Alex. Homicide kicked out as it was. Soon as Alex got back to his team's corner Sabin tagged him in. Alex worked his magic on Homicide and tagged Sabin. The Motor City Machine Guns performed their double team tag finisher, Skull And Bones. As Sabin covered Homicide, Shelley stood over him to make sure Hernandez does not get involved. The referee counted to three and the fans erupted in cheers. We have new tag team champs.

Winner: MCMG by pinfall to win the titles (3 stars)


The former champs regroup on the floor. It looks like they might enter the ring and attack the new champs when out of nowhere the Briscoe Brothers jump LAX. The four men brawl like a wild pack of dogs. They make their way into the back area as the MCMG watch from the ring, holding their title belts.


A foggy night in the woods with "The Prince of Darkness" Kevin Sullivan standing next to B. J. Whitmer. They are looking up at a full moon.

Kevin Sullivan: It is time my son. The Four Armies of the Wind have arrived.

The sound of motorcycle engines revving is heard then they stop. Two men walk out of the mists.

Kevin Sullivan: I give you the Armies of the East. They are Adrian Adonis and Eddie Edwards, the East Coast Connection.

He then turns 90 degrees to his right; the sound of Dixie being played is heard and two men walk out of the woods there.

Kevin Sullivan: From the South we have Tracy Smothers and "Wildfire" Tommy Rich, Southern Hostility.

Another 90 degree turn to the right. The sounds of bass banging is heard and two men walk thru the fog.

Kevin Sullivan: "The Funky Monkey" Angel Ortiz and "Nasty Assassin" Mike Draztik, West Side Playas.

One last turn to the right. The sound of heavy wind is heard, and the last two men make their appearance.

Kevin Sullivan: Finally, the Armies of the North. "All Ego" Ethan Page and "Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander, Monster Mafia.

The camera pans to look at all four teams.

Kevin Sullivan: Thank you for coming and meeting us here. Now, return to the darkness until I have need of you. Rest and prepare for war. When it is time that I have need of you I shall call upon you.

The four teams slowly back up and disappear into the fog and darkness.

B. J. Whitmer: Impressive my father. But which team will you use to win the Tag Team Championship and bring the titles into our family?

Kevin Sullivan: (pauses a bit before answering) None of them my son. None of them.

Whitmer has a puzzled look on his face at that declaration while Sullivan has a look of the cat who ate the canary.

Mornin brother on_the_edge!

Wow well done on all fronts my friend.

Congrats to MCMG on their title victory.

Really enjoyed the vignette depicting Kevin Sullivan's Four Armies.

Bring on Wrestlemania and hopefully a Bret Hart victory over the Eighth Wonder of The World.

Seems as though The Midnights will be the team to beat in the tag tourney.

A true 7 course meal of wrestling that was!

Thank you as always. Love having you in the front row and appreciate all the kind words. WM will be posted soon, and the dice gave us a really good show if I say so myself. One match was a bit too one-sided but nothing to complain about. I also had to change a move that I rolled a couple times. I mean, I just could not see Bret Hart using a superplex on Andre. Call me crazy but that is just how I saw it lol.

WrestleMania II - WWF


President Jack Tunney welcomes us to WM II. There is a beautiful rendition of America the Beautiful and then Tunney throws things to the announce team of Gorilla Monsoon and Bobby Heenan.


Gorilla Monsoon: Welcome everybody to WrestleMania. The biggest wrestling show of the year. I am joined by my partner in crime, Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. How's it going Bobby?

Bobby Heenan: How do you think it's going, Gorilla? We are at the biggest extravaganza of the year. This is WrestleMania. Careers can be defined or derailed tonight. It's great.

Gorilla Monsoon: Just so you know Bobby, they make decaf coffee these days. But I know what you mean, if you cannot be excited today something is wrong with you. We will be joined later by the BBQ man himself, Jim Ross. We also have a new member joining us, an old face returning to the WWF, none other than "Mean" Gene Okerlund. How is it going Gene?


The camera switches to one in back where Gene Okerlund in a tuxedo is standing in the interview area.


Gene Okerlund: It is wonderful to be back home Gorilla. Even if that means working with Bobby Heenan. I joke of course, the Brain is a swell guy. I will be talking to some of the talent throughout the night to get pre and post-match reactions. Back to you Gorilla.


Gorilla Monsoon: Thank you, Gene. We will check in on you later. For now, it is time for our opening match. It is for the WWF Light Heavyweight Championship match between the champion Son of Havoc and challenger Killshot. Who do you have winning this match Heenan?

Bobby Heenan: The one wearing a mask.

Gorilla Monsoon: They are both wearing a mask.

Bobby Heenan: Then I am right once again.

Gorilla Monsson: Give me a break.


Son of Havoc vs Killshot in a WWF Light Heavyweight Championship match

The match started and Killshot started running the ropes which seemed to confuse Son of Havoc. Then Killshot stopped and hit a popup dropkick that seemed to take the wind out of Son of Havoc. Killshot kept rolling and after a moonsault dive he pinned the champ.

Winner: Killshot by pinfall to win the title (1 star)


Gorilla Monsoon: One match into WrestleMania II and we have a new champion.

Bobby Heenan: I told you Son of Havoc would be in trouble. He won the title in the tournament after wrestling one match and it was against a worn down Killshot. Tonight, he faced a full strength Killshot, and he had no chance.

Gorilla Monsoon: Ok, ok. You were correct. Our next match is the tag match between the Hollywood Blonds of the Hart Foundation and The Moondogs.

Bobby Heenan: Do you think the Blonds are going to make a horror movie starring The Moondogs.

Gorilla Monsoon: (laughs) I don't know Heenan, but you might be on to something. Let's go to the ring for the action and find out.


Hollywood Blonds vs The Moondogs

A solid tag match that saw the unpredictable Moondogs working really well together early on. They cut the ring in half and had "Flyin" Brian Pillman on their side of the ring. They made frequent tags to perform double team moves and stay fresh. Pillman knew he needed a tag so he crawled between Moondog Rex's legs and dove for his corner. He made the tag and "Stunning" Steve Austin came in and started rocking Rex. Momentum swung from one team to the other over a next few minutes. We saw Austin whipping the Moondogs and Pillman flying off the top rope. The Hollywood Blonds performed Atomic Blond and Pillman pinned Moondog Rex.

Winner: Hollywood Blonds via pinfall (3 stars)


Gorilla Monsoon: An impressive win by the Blonds. They might be in line for a tag team title match sooner rather than later. Let's go into the back where our colleague Gene Okerlund is standing by with a special guest. Take it away Gene.


Gene Okerlund: Thank you Gorilla. I am standing here with the Iron Sheik. What are you doing here Sheik? You do not have a match tonight.

Iron Sheik: Well Gene "Mean", that is the problem. No? I am former World Champion Iron Sheik baby, and I am not on biggest card of the year? Let me tell you Gene "Mene" I will not stand for this. Iran is #1. USA is (makes spitting sound and gesture). I no wrestle tonight but I challenge my old enemy, Sgt. Slaughter, to a match on Raw. A Loser Leaves Town match Gene "Mean". When I send that hot air bag Slaughter packing then I get notice of President Tunney and Iron Sheik gets respect he deserves.

He walks off waving his Iranian flag.

Gene Okerlund: Wow. That is going to be a big match. Back to your Gorilla and Bobby.


Gorilla Monsoon: Thank you, Gene. As you all can see it is just me right now as Bobby had to go manage Ri...I mean get a better view of the next match according to him. The Brain said he wanted to watch Rick Rude win the IC title from down closer to the ring. I will be joined shortly by good old JR, Jim Ross for the next match and the rest of the card. Ah, here he is now.

Jim Ross: Sorry I am late. I see Bobby is absent once again.

Gorilla Monsoon: Yes, he is, be it good or bad I guess is up to one's opinion. But that will not detract from our next match as Jimmy Snuka will defend his title against Rick Rude and the mysterious, masked Unknown Manager. I am not sure he is unknown to at this point, but I will play along.

Jim Ross: (chuckles) I understand your meaning Monsoon. This should be a really good match between two evenly matched competitors.


Jimmy Snuka w/Capt. Lou Albino vs Rick Rude w/Unknown Manager in a WWF Intercontinental Championship match

Before the match started it looked like the managers would tangle. But soon as Albino showed his fist the Unknown Manager ran to the other side of the ring. As the match began the champ was on a roll. Snuka seemed to be on his way to a successful defense. Then Rude used his power to counter Snuka's speed. The pendlam of momentum swung in Rude's favor. He kept rocking Snuka then when he had Snuka on the mat, he swiveled his hips, pulled Snuka to his feet and hit Rude Awakening. Rick made the cover and got the pin.

Winner: Rick Rude by pinfall to win the title (2 stars)


The Unknown Manager was jumping up and down on the floor when he got leveled by a right hook from Capt. Lou Albino. The Capt. got on top of him and started yanking at his mask. After a bit of a struggle, he tore off the Unknown Manager's mask. The Manager is none other than Bobby Heenan.

Jim Ross: Well, lookie there. The Unknown Manager is the Brain.

Gorilla Monsoon: That is a surprise to no one. It was the worst kept secret ever. He will not be able to deny it anymore.

Jim Ross: So true Monsoon but let us not bury the lead. We have a new Intercontinental Champion. Congratulations to Rick Rude.

Gorilla Monsoon: That is a good point. With Bobby managing him we will not hear the end of it from Bobby.


A video showing a shiny new Porche pulling up to the front of a fancy restaurant. The valet driver gets out and hands the keys to a large, good-looking man in an expensive suit. The man hands the valet a $20 tip.

Valet: Wow. Thanks. That's wonderful.

Man in suit: That's Mr. Wonderful, Paul Orndorff.

He gives a big smile to the camera.

A graphic comes on the shot stating "Mr. Wonderful Paul Orndorff. Coming to WWF Raw this week".


Masa Saito w/Mr. Fuji vs Kurt Angle

The bell rang to start the match and Kurt Angle was jawing with Mr. Fuji down on the floor. That as his inexperience showing and it hurt him as Masa Saito did a Pearl Harbor job on him. Masa was good for a bit then he tried a headbutt and it stunned him as much as Angle. Kurt grabbed Masa and hit a Power Bomb. Angle was in control for a minute or so then Masa fought back. Masa Saito used his finisher, Saito Suplex, and rolled Kurt up for the pin.

Winner: Masa Saito via pinfall (2 stars)


Kikutaro vs King Kong Bundy

Kikutaro came down eating a bucket of KFC and he stopped frozen when he got to the ring and Bundy in the room. He tried covering up the bucket as he was worried Bundy would try and take it. Kikutaro started looking for a place to hide the bucket but saw Bundy watching him. He ordered the referee to instruct Bundy to turn around so he could not see where he hit the bucket. It took a bit but finally Bundy turned his back to Kikutaro. As Kikutaro looked around a large man with more hair on his arms than his head sitting ringside called Kikuaro over. He motioned to Kikutaro he could hide the bucket under his seat. Kikutaro was reluctant at first but finally gave in. He pointed to his eyes and toward the man to say "I have my eyes on you". The big man held up his hands to say he was not going to mess with Kikutaro's chicken. Then Kikutaro held a finger to his lips to tell all the fans "shh, don't tell".

Kikotaro slid into the ring and with Bundy's back still to him he ran and hit a lariat. Kikotaro took advantage of the sneak attack and kept attacking the much larger man. He hit a Flashing Elbow and followed it up with a referee avalanche splash. It is not usual for Bundy to be on the receiving end of a splash. For the poor referee it did not matter who did it to who, he was in between and got shook up. Kikutaro was lucky he was not DQ'd. Then Kikutaro showed immense power by lifting Bundy and hitting something close to a Samoan Driver. He went for the cover, but Bundy kicked out. Kikotaro was not deterred, and he hit a second Samoan Driver. This time he made the pin.

Winner: Kikotaro by pinfall (2 stars)


Kikotaro was celebrating in the ring and the camera catches the large hairy man celebrating as well. This all did not sit well with King Kong Bundy who attacked Kikotaro from behind. Bundy is pounding on the smaller man. He laid Kikotaro on the floor, ran the ropes and hit a big splash. The man watching from ringside had enough. He climbed over the railing, entered the ring and pulled Bundy off Kikotaro. The two men are slugging it out and then the man clotheslines Bundy over the top rope to the floor. The crowd goes wild. The man helps Kikotaro to his feet then says something to the ring announcer on the floor. The announcer gets the bucket of chicken from under his chair and hands it to him. He then hands it to Kikotaro who seems to recover quickly. Kikotaro then offers some chicken to the man, and they share it before heading toward the back.


A promo for the next WWF PPV. It will be Backlash in May.


Buddy Rogers vs Killer Kowalski

The men locked up and then Buddy pulled back and complained about something to the referee. The ref talked to Kowalaski which distracted him. That allowed Buddy to sneak in some forearm smashes. Buddy rode the advantge for several minutes as he worked Kowalski over. He tossed Kowalski out to the floor and went out after him. Buddy brutalized Killer, tossing him into the barricade and ring post. The referee gave some leeway but was starting to have his patience tested. Buddy decided to take the action back to the ring.

He applied his finisher and had Kowalski in grueling pain. But Kowalski started to rock his hips and he reveresed the hold forcing Buddy to release it. A bit later Kowalski finally started to get his offense in. He seemed to have Buddy in trouble until he attempted Bombs Away. He missed allowing Buddy to go back on the attack. He attempted the Figure Four Grapevine again and this time Kowalski could not escape. He was forced to tap.

Winner: Buddy Rogers via submission (3 stars)


Gorilla Monsoon: Big win for Buddy Rogers, the leader of the nWa, the New World Association. Could this be a sign of what's to come? Will The Invaders and Andre the Giant continue the nWa momentum?


The Invaders vs AMW in a WWF World Tag Team Championship match

"Dr. Death" Steve Williams and "Wildcat" Chris Harris lock up and soon Williams has full control. After beating on Harris for a while he tags out to "Bam Bam" Terry Gordy. Gordy punishes Harris for a bit and then hits Bamm Bamm Slam. Harris kicks out and then Gordy takes the action to the floor. Both men brawl wildly and when Harris body slams Gordy onto the Spanish announcer's table he almost gets disqualified.

Back in the ring Harris tags out to Storm. Gordy is in trouble and when he gets an opening he tags out. Williams comes in but cannot regain the juice he had earlier. For a few minutes AWM dominates the action. Storm tried to beat Williams with a Last Call but Williams kicks out. Storm tags Harris back in who makes a pair of pin attempts, the second after a Catatonic. That second one was broken up by Gordy. Then Harris signals it is time to end the match. He tags Storm and they perform Death Sentence. As Storm made the cover Harris ran over and slugged Gordy in the corner. The count was made, and we had new Tag Team Champions of the World.

Winner: AMW by pinfall to win the titles (3 stars)


The crowd cheered as AWM celebrated their win. They are handed the title belts and hold them high to show off to the fans. Williams rolls out to the floor where Gordy checks on him. AMW are on top of the world when the entrance music for the Midnight Rockers plays and they come out to the stage. They stand there a bit and start walking toward the ring. The Rockers enter the ring and stand face to face with the new champs. There is a long, awkward stare down between both teams. Then the Midnight Rockers offer their hands for a shake. AMW look to the fans for advice. The fans cheer so AMW take the hands and shake them. Fans love it. As AMW hold the belts up high they walk toward the ropes when suddenly the Midnight Rockers hit a dropkick to the back of each AMW member sending them flying thru the ropes. The Rockers go to the floor, grab a chair each and start hitting AMW with the chairs. Fans start booing and then security come down and chase the Midnight Rockers off. The Rockers go to the stage, hold the chairs high and then turn to leave into the back.


Gorilla Monsoon: So far every title has changed hands. It is likely that the main event, which is next, will see the pattern continue.

Jim Ross: You might be right. Andre is a big obstacle for any champion. If anyone can overcome his size and immense power it is "The Hitman" Bret Hart. Bret will have to use hit and run tactics and rely on his agility and wrestling ability to cut Andre down to size.


Bret "The Hitman" Hart vs Andre the Giant in a WWF World Championship match

The match started and the Giant sent the champ flying across the ring with a big butt bump. Andre used his size and power to wear Bret down. A turnbuckle spalsh, head butt, bear hug and body slams. A cover but Bret got his shoulder up to remain alive in the match. Then he went for the death blow by hitting a Big Splash finisher. It seemed Andre had won in a squash but at the last moment Bret reached over and grabbed the rope for a break.
Andre the Giant could not believe it. He yelled at the ref and even grabbed him. The referee pointed to his stripes and threatened to DQ the Giant. The large man let him go but glared at him. Bret knew he was in trouble and rolled out of the ring before Andre could get his hands on him. Instead of waiting for "The Hitman" to return to the ring Andre started to go out after him. He took a step over the top rope and Bret grabbed his massive leg causing Andre to crotch himself on the top rope.

Bret got on the apron and moved the top rope up and down causing Andre more pain. Back in the ring Bret focused his attack on Andre's knees. Kicks, drop kicks and chop blocks. Bret went for a cover and Andre tossed him off like he was a child. Bret hit a Russian Leg Drop and with Andre on the mat Bret went to the second rope and flew off with an elbow drop to Andre's knee. Bret went for his finisher but he struggled with the tree trucks that are Andre's legs. Andre kicks him off. Bret waited till Andre got to his knees as he tried to get to his feet. Then Bret stomped on Andre's back and dropped an elbow. Andre ended up on is stomach on the mat. That made the next attempt at the Sharpshooter easier. Once he was able to apply it Andre had great force on his one weakness, his knees. Andre tried to crawl to the ropes. He was inches short of grabbing it for the break. The pain was too much and he tapped. Bret pulled off what many would call a huge upset.

Winner: Bret Hart via submission to retain (4 stars)


Bret is handed the World title belt, and he climbs the turnbuckle to celebrate with the fans. He does not see Andre finally get to his feet. Andre comes over and pulls Bret off the turnbuckle. He puts Bret in a bear hug and is squeezing the life out of Bret. Then the music for a man not seen in the WWF for a long time, "Macho Man" Randy Savage is heard. He comes out, wearing a brightly colored neon windbreaker suit, to the cheers of the fans.

Jim Ross: Business is about to pick up.

Savage runs down and when he gets to the ring Andre drops Bret and slowly backs up. Macho Man slides in the ring and points at Andre who seems worried. Macho Man puts his finger in the air and twirls it around. He helps Bret to his feet. Then he scoops Bret up and slams him down in the middle of the ring.

Gorilla Monsoon: What is Macho Man doing?

Savage climbs to the top turnbuckle, unzips and removes his jacket to reveal a black and white nWa t-shirt. The fans boo as he jumps off and nails the World Champion with a flying elbow. Andre laughs and claps his hands. Savage stands over Bret and points to his t-shirt as WrestleMania II ends.

March Week 4, Year 2



WWF Raw


Raw starts with a highlight video from WrestleMania II. Then we are live with Gorilla and Bobby in the studio.


Gorilla Monsoon: Wow, what a fun and wild WrestleMania. What did you think, Bobby?

Bobby Heenan: It was a great event. A historic night.

Gorilla Monsoon: Oh, that's right. You managed Rick Rude to the IC title.

Bobby Heenan: Yes, it was awesome. I just wish I could have seen your face when it was revealed that the Unknown Manager was really me. I bet your jaw dropped and you were speechless.

Gorilla Monsoon: Oh, give me a break. Moving on we have a great night of wrestling action. We will see the debut of Paul Orndorff, Anontio Inoki takes on Mark Henry, The Invaders will do battle with the Hollywood Blonds in the continuing war between nWa and the Hart Foundation and in our main event it will be the Iron Sheik going up against longtime rival, Sgt. Slaughter. Iron Sheik threw out a challenge to Slaughter at WrestleMania, the Sarge accepted it, and President Jack Tunney made it official.

Bobby Heenan: About time that waste of space Tunney did something good. He has given Sgt. Slaughter his marching orders. Once the Iron Sheik beats him it is bye-bye Slaughter.

Gorilla Monsoon: Don't count your chickens before they hatch. Sgt. Slaughter is a tough customer and it could be Iron Sheik will be the one leaving town into the abyss. Let's go to the ring for our first match.


"Mr. Wonderful" Paul Orndorff vs Dr. X

The match had barely begun when both men clotheslined each other. They laid on the mat and Paul was the first to stir. He looked upset over what happened and quickly beat Dr. X with a Jumping Piledriver. The match lasted less than a minute.

Winner: "Mr. Wonderful" Paul Orndorff via pinfall (1 star)


Gorilla Monsoon: An impressive win for the young newcomer in his debut match. I can see him going far here in the World Wrestling Federation.


Antonio Inoki w/Mr. Fuji vs Mark Henry

Antonio Inoki was all over Mark Henry from the get-go. He used a belly to back suplex, sleeper, Octopus Hold and a pair of Enzuigiris but Mark Henry is not an easy man to beat. He fought back for a bit but Inoki quickly was back on the attack. The action spilled out of the ring and Inoki, with some help from Mr. Fuji bruatalized Mark. The referee came close to disqualifing Inoki but Fuji got him to change his mind and had Inoki take the match back inside of the ring. That is where Inoki used bow and arrow to defeat Mark.

Winner: Antonio Inoki by submission (2 stars)


Mr. Fuji: Once again, Antonio-san has dominated the man put in front of him. Now, it is time that Bret Hart was placed in front of him. Antonio-san will be your next WWF World Champion.


The Invaders w/Buddy Rogers vs Hollywood Blonds w/Killer Kowalski

"Dr. Death" Steve Williams and "Flyin" Brian Pillman kick off the action. Things go back and forth then Williams starts to get the upperhand. Realizing things were not going good Pillman tagged out soon as he could. Williams and "Stunning" Steve Austin slugged it out for a bit. Then Steve tagged Biran and they hit Atomic Blond but Williams was not worn down enough and he kicked out. Hollywood Blonds worked Williams over for a couple minutes then he was able to tag out. Terry Gordy wore Pillman down and made a pair of pin attempts but could not put him away. Austin tagged in and got the same treatment from Gordy. A Bamm Bamm Slam allowed Gordy to get the pin.

Winner: The Invaders via pinfall (3 stars)


The match was over but not the action. The two tag teams started to brawl in the ring and that brought Buddy and Killer into the ring. As the six men fought security came down to try and break them apart. Members of the security kept getting knocked down. Things were out of action as Raw went to commercials.


Back to the studio and Gorilla Monsoon gets up and starts to walk off.

Bobby Heenan: Where do you think you are going?

Gorilla Monsoon: I've been needing to use the Xerox machine, but they were working on it. I got word it is fixed so I need to go use it.

Bobby Heenan: Copy that.

Gorilla Monsoon: (stops) That was actually funny Bobby. Do not worry, you will not be alone for the main event. Jim Ross will be joining you.

Bobby Heenan: Well that is...wait what? Why do I have to work with him? Don't you think I can do the job myself?

Gorilla Monsoon: No, I don't think you can.

He walks out and then Jim Ross walks in.

Jim Ross: Hello Bobby.

Bobby Heenan: What did I do to deserve this.

Jim Ross: I was thinking the same thing.


Iron Sheik vs Sgt. Slaughter in a Loser Leaves Town match

The match started but it was no wrestling classic as they beat on each other. Slaughter was the one who won the exchange. He went for a fast win by putting Sheik in his Cobra Clutch finisher. Sheik was desperate to get out and he swung his leg back between Slaughter's legs. That did the job as he released the hold. The referee warned Sheik about doing moves like that. Gorilla poined out that due to the importance of the match the referee was instructed to give some leeway. That was evident when both men ended up on the floor. There was no count as the men brawled for a couple minutes. Slaughter slammed Sheik onto the announcer's desk. Once back in the ring momentum swung from one man to the other a couple times and then Slaughter applied the Cobra Clutch again. When Sheik tried to kick Slaughter again Slaughter caught Sheik's leg between his. Sheik tried to get out but finally had to give up.

Winner: Sgt. Slaughter by submission to send Iron Sheik out of the WWF (2 stars)


As a distraught Iron Sheik grabbed his flag and slowly left a WWF ring for the last time the fans showed him no sympathy as they sang "Nah, nah, nah, nah, hey, hey, goodbye".




WCW Nitro


Tony Schiavone: It is time once again for WCW Nitro. The best wrestling on the planet. I am joined by the Living Legend, Larry Zbyszko. What do we have lined up for our fans tonight, Larry?

Larry Zbyszko: Well Tony we continue with the United States Tag Team Championship tournament. We will see reDRagon, winners of the Crockett Cup, taking on Sweet-N-Sour International in one match and in the other The James Gang face off against a team they know all too well, The Russians.

Tony Schiavone: That will be our main event as well.

Larry Zbyszko: I was about to get to that Tony. Calm yourself down.

Tony Schiavone: I'm sorry Larry. Continue please.

Larry Zbyszko: Thank you. We will see the debuting "Golden Boy" Danny Spivey in action along with that dancing fool, P.N. News.

Tony Schiavone: Should be a great night of action. One of the US Tag Team tournament matches will kick us off and that match happens right now.


reDRagon vs Sweet-n-Sour International w/Larry Sweeney in a US Tag Team Tournament match

Kyle O'Reilly and Eli Everfly locked up and battled for control over the other. Each man hit a move and then the other would hit one. Eli was the first to string offense together. He used Spanish Fly to stun Kyle. Then he tagged Juventud Guerrera in. Juvi sent Kyle flying around the ring with three straight huracanranas. Then he went to the top and hit a 450 Splash. Juvi made the cover, his legs on the ropes and made the pin for another upset in the tourney.

Winner: Sweet-n-Sour International via pinfall to advance (2 stars)


Larry Zbyszko: Color me shocked as I thought that reDRagon were the favorites to win the tournament. Just like they did with the Crockett Cup.


"Golden Boy" Danny Spivey vs Mike Jackson

Danny Spivey came into this match very cocky. It ended up costing him. Mike Jackson gave him a wrestling lesson as he used arm drags and head scissors to make him dizzy. It took a couple minutes for Danny to get his footing. Once he did he tossed Mike into the ropes and telegraphed his plans by bending over too early. Mike took advantage of the situation and hit a sunset flip. The referee counted and we had a second upset.

Winner: Mike Jackson by pinfall (1 star)


Tony Schiavone: Yet another upset.

Larry Zbyszko: Well, Tony, it is March. The time for upsets. Especially in tournaments as we have seen tonight.


A promo for next month's WCW PPV event, Spring Stampede. The first match is announced, and it will be a rematch for the WCW World Heavyweight Championship. Bryan Danielson will defend against former champion AJ Styles.


P.N. News vs Eddie Gilbert

After dancing his way to the ring P.N. News came up flat against Eddie Gilbert. A fist drop got Eddie started and after some more offense he tossed News thru the ropes. News almost did not make it back into the ring in time as the ref got to nine. Eddie set News up and hit a second rope elbow drop. Eddie made the pin.

Winner: Eddie Gilbert via pinfall (1 star)


Eddie does a little jig in the ring before exiting and returning to the back. Some fans cheer for P.N. News when he gets to his feet, but he does not appear to be in the mood to dance himself.


America Bullet Club (AJ Styles, Karl Anderson and Doc Gallows) are standing in back of the arena when a black limo pulls up. The back door opens and someone begins to get out.

AJ Styles: Adam Cole.

Karl and Doc: Baby!

Sure enough, Adam Cole gets out and he shakes everyone's hand. Then all four men do the wolfpack hand sign and touch them all together in the middle of them nice and high.

Adam Cole: America Bullet Club rules!

Karl and Doc: Four Horsemen drools.

All four men laugh and head off into the arena.


The James Gang w/Chyna vs The Russians in a US Tag Team Tournament match

The James Gang were in complete control early on as they tried to put Nikita Koloff away. They hit a spike piledriver on him and a bit after that Kip James went for the pin. Ivan Koloff came in and swung fists. The action spilled out to the floor. Ivan grabbed a chair but before he could use it Chyna came over and grabbed the other end. The two struggled to gain control of it. As they did B.G. started to come up behind Ivan who finally pulled the chair away from Chyna. When he did he accidently pulled it hard and it slammed into B.G. The referee did not like what he saw and called for the bell.

Winner: The James Gang by disqualification to advance (2 stars)


An obviously upset Ivan argues with the referee and tries to explain it was an accident. Then he points toward Chyna and says it is her fault. He actually takes a couple steps toward her but she stands there with her arms crossed just daring him to do something. Kip runs over and checks on B.G. as officials spill out to ring side to make sure no more fights break out.




ECW Chaos


Joey Styles: Welcome to ECW Chaos. I am your host, Joey Styles. No time for talk as "Supercop" Dick Justice is standing in the ring. Let's go there.


Sure enough Dick Justice is in the ring.

Dick Justice: I am waiting on you Vibora and mystery woman. Come out, come out wherever you are. We need to talk.

After a bit the mysterious woman in blue mask and matching wrestling attire comes out leading the large half man, half snake creature. The fans start chanting "Luchasaures". They enter the ring and Dick hands the woman an extra mic.

Kobra Moon: First off, my name is Kobra Moon. Second, you are correct, this is a Vibora. MY Vibora. As far as the other things you want to know, like where those disgusting males Val Venis and The Sandman are, you can have those answers. All you have to do it beat my Vibora in a match.

With that said Dick Justice ponders what he should do. He looks around to the fans for some guidance or encouragement. They seem to want him to do it.

Dick Justice: Fine Ms. Moon. I am no wrestler, but I have seen plenty of it to have a decent idea of what I need to do. You are on.

The fans cheer as the two men awaits a referee to make his way out to the ring.


The opening promo with highlights of matches, heavy on the violence.


Vibora w/Kobra Moon vs "Supercop" Dick Justice

A referee finally arrives. He enters the ring and calls for the bell. Dick Justice tried to look brave but he was scared of Vibora. Vibora grabbed him and performed Tombstone Age. An Event Horizon and Justice was really in trouble. Then an impressive move by a man of Vibora's size as he hit a standing Spanish Fly. He went for the pin but made a casual cover by placing two hands on Justice's chest. Justice was able to kick out. As more fans chanted "luchasaurus" Vibora seemed distracted. He went for a big boot but missed. Justice went on the attack. He lifted Vibora and used a powerslam. He followed up with a waistlock rollup and got a two count. Steamroller and a leg drop had Justice feeling good about himself. He tried to stun Vibora more with knuckle sammiches but it did not faze the large man/snake. Vibora finished the match shortly after that with another standing Spanish Fly.

Winner: Vibora by pinfall (3 stars)


Kobra Moon: Aww, so close Dick Justice. For a bit there I thought you might pull it off. But now you will not know what happened to Val Venis and The Sandman.

She leads her pet away as Dick Justice tries to clear the cobwebs in the ring.


In a locker room Matt Stryker is sitting on a bench with his head down in his hands. Vampiro walks in and Matt does not acknowledge him.

Vampiro: I know you are down over the losing streak. I have been thinking about that. I think it is time to end the Lucha Underground tag team.

A sigh from Matt and he stands up.

Matt Stryker: Yea, I figured this was coming. Well, it's been fun.

He starts to walk off, but Vampiro places a hand on his shoulder to stop him.

Vampiro: I am not finished. You have tried hard, but your wrestling ability is so-so at best. You do however have a great mind for this sport and planning. That is why I think Lucha Underground the tag team should end and be replaced with Lucha Underground the faction with you as our manager. I have some people in mind to join us if you are up for that.

A look of deep thought crosses Matt's face then he smiles and nods his head. Both men shake on it.


Ken Shamrock vs RVD in a Hybrid match

1st round starts with Ken in control and he kept it for most of the round. RVD was able to fight back near the end of the round. He grabbed a chair and the referee did not try and stop him and RVD hit a Van Daminator. The referee paused the match and informed the three judges that RVD was being assessed a one point penalty. Then he restarted the match which RVD continued working over Ken then the bell rang as time ran out for the 1st round.

2nd round starts and again Ken is the aggressor. He focused on RVD's leg and used rolling kneebar. Then RVD turned things around and used Rolling Thunder and a split legged moonsault before going for a pin attempt. RVD kept Ken on the defensive until the last minute of the round when Ken started to use a rolling kneebar again. The bell rang and we are going to the 3rd round.

3rd round starts and RVD finds him on the defense once again. Ken was using flying hip attack, power slam and belly to belly suplex. Ken made a pair of pin attempts with no success. RVD realized he was in trouble and rolled out for a breather. He was almost counted out but came back into the ring and was met with a standing rear choke. RVD survived the round, but he did not show much. The bell rang and we are going to go to the judges.

Ring announcer: The judges' cards are in. They scored the match 30-26, 29-27 and 30-26 for the unanimous winner...Ken Shamrock.

Winner: Ken Shamrock via judge's decision (3 stars)


Standing in the interview area is an angry Rhino.

Rhino: Rush, you cost me a match last week. You need to learn that if you stick your nose in my business you might just lose that nose. I want your punk ass in a match. Do not make me come looking for you cause that will make it only worse.

He walks off, punching a nearby door that leaves a hole in it.


Shane Douglas is standing in a hall talking to Francine. He says he knows sometimes they are apart, and she can't but help and miss him. That is why he got something to keep her company when he is away. A pet of her very own. The Pit Bulls. They walk up wearing collars with chain leashes on them. Shane takes hold of both leashes and hands them to Francine. She smiles and gives Shane a peck on his cheek and then goes to walk her new pets.


Briscoe Brothers vs All Night Express

The Briscoe's came down to the ring more angry than usual. They proceeded to take that anger out on Rhett Titus. Jay hit him with a Jay Driller. Both brothers hit a double flapjack and Jay went for the cover. A slingshot lariat and Mark went for a pin. Rhett survived those. Kenny King was yelling encouragment to his partner from thier corner. Mark took the air out of Rhett with a frogsplash. Then Mark hit a brutal suplex and rolled Rhett Titus up for the victory.

Winner: Briscoe Brothers by pinfall (2 stars)


The new ECW World Tag Team Champions, the Motor City Machine Guns are in their locker room celebrating being the champs. Then the sound of loud wind can be heard, and the lights start to flicker. The Guns look a bit worried.


Samoa Joe vs "The Roughneck" Mr. Hughes

Mr. Hughes came down and his entrance music kept playing. Samoa Joe came down with a sour look on his face. The match started and both men went face to face in the middle of the ring. They started throwing haymakers and Mr. Hughes gained the early advantage. He tossed Joe into the corner. As he rushed in Joe grabbed him and hit ST Joe. Joe made the cover and the referee counted to three. A fast impressive win by Samoa Joe.

Winner: Samoa Joe via pinfall (1 star)


Francine wearing a short, tight dress makes her way down to the ring and carefully enters it to the catcalls and whistling of some fans. She bats her eyes at Samoa and seems to be trying to butter him up. He is not buying what she's selling. However, he keeps his eyes on her as she moves to the ring side away from the entrance. Thus, he does not see when The Pit Bulls come running out and slip into the ring. He senses their presence and turns around just as the two men attack him. The two on one fight continues as Chaos goes off the air.

April Week 1, Year 2



WWF Raw


A sleek sedan pulls up in back and "Macho Man" Randy Savage gets out. As he is getting his bag from the trunk Mean Gene Okerlund walks up.

Gene Okerlund: Randy Savage can I have a moment of your time? What happened at WrestleMania? Why did you show up and seemingly join the nWa? Not to mention attack Bret Hart.

Randy Savage: Well Mean Gene, it is simple really. I had issues with them in the past, but Buddy Rogers called me for a pow wow you see. The two of us sat down and hashed out our differences from back in those days. He realized what a talented wrestler I am and wanted me to join his group as it was. So, the Macho Man being no ones dummy saw the writing on the wall. The nWa is taking over the WWF. That is why I joined you see. To be on the winning side oh yea. The nWa was strong before but they are unbeatable with the Macho Man on their side. As far as attacking the Hitman it should be obvious even to one as yourself Gene. I want a World title shot. The Macho Man deserves to be the world champion, dig it?

With that he hurried off into the arena.


Gorilla Monsoon: Savage part of the nWa. Things keep getting worse for the WWF.

Bobby Heenan: I do not know what you are talking about, Gorilla.

Gorilla Monsoon: Of course not Bobby. You finally have gold in your family even if your family is just one person.

Bobby Heenan: Yes, I do and don't you try and rain on my parade. I only have one for now.

Gorilla Monsoon: Does that mean you are out recruiting?

Bobby Heenan: I do not have to recruit. I am the Brain. Wrestlers are lining up to have me be their manager.

Gorilla Monsoon: Give me a break. We have a show to get to. Our opening match is a WrestleMania rematch. Kikutaro upset King Kong Bundy and Bundy wants payback. For more than just the loss. After that match he attacked Kikutaro and Kikutaro was saved by a large man who has been identified as going by the name Giant Bernard. Let's go to the ring for the rematch.


Kikutaro w/Giant Bernard vs King Kong Bundy

Kikutaro came down to the ring riding Giant Benard's back. The piggyback ride lasted longer than the match. King Kong Bundy was in a foul mood after losing to Kikutaro at WrestleMania and he was looking for payback. He got it in record setting fashion. The match started and Bundy rolled over Kikutaro with a shoulder tackle and quickly followed up with an Atlantic City Avalanche. The referee counted to three but before he could call for the bell Bundy yelled at him and held up five fingers. The referee paused and then counted two more times.

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


As Gorilla and Bobby discuss if this was the shortest match in WWF history Bundy started stomping on Kikutaro and dropped an elbow on him. That brought Giant Bernard into the ring. The two large men went face to face trying to intimidate the other. They pressed their foreheads against each other as other officials and security came down to separate the two men.


Sitting in the locker room James Storm is drinking some beers when Chris Harris walks in.

Chris Harris: Man, are you still celebrating?

James Storm: Nah, this is just a few cold ones.

Chris Harris: Well, you need to drink less and start focusing on what is ahead of us. We are the WWF World Tag Team Champions. Everyone will be gunning for us now. Including the former champs The Invaders. Plus, we owe those punks the Midnight Express a beatdown for ruining our title win.

James Storm: Hey, I'm with you bro. Especially kicking butt of Shawn and Marty. But nothing says I can't have a beer or two before we get the chance to do that.


The Invaders vs Killer Bees

The Bees gave The Invaders some trouble for a couple minutes but then the nWa members swatted them away. Terry Gordy took out "Jumping" Iim Brunzell with a lariat and got a two count. He followed up with a Bamm Bamm Slam but again could not secure the pinfall. Gordy motioned that it was time to end the match when he did a cut throat hand gesture. He hit a nasty Power Bomb. B. Brian Blair hopped in the ring to try and make a save but he ran into a brickhouse named Steve "Dr. Death" Williams.

Winner: The Invaders by pinfall (2 stars)


The Hart Foundation are in their locker room.

Bret Hart: Well, is seems the nWa have added Randy Savage to their numbers.

Killer Kowalski: Sorry I was not there in your match at Mania to watch your back. Not to mention I lost my match to Buddy.

Brian Pillman: Not to mention we lost to the damn Invaders last week.

Steve Austin: We can sit here and belly ache about the matches we lost, or we can make plans to go out and wins some matches against the damn nWa. Personally that is what I want to do. I am damn tired of them pushing their weigh around here in the WWF. We need to beat them and send them packing.

Bret Hart: You got that right Steve. I've got some plans, but we need to keep them close to the vest.

At that Killer Kowalski stood up, walked over toward the camera and backed the cameraman out of the locker room. The last shot was the door closing.


Kurt Angle vs Mark Henry

The match began with Henry using his power to slow Angle down. Then Angle started to use his wrestling ability to take Henry off his game. An impressive show of Angle's own power as he lifted Henry for an Olympic Slam. Henry was able to kick out but he looked ripe for the picking. Angle pulled the straps of his wrestling gear off his shoulder. Then he got Henry up and hit a second Olympic Slam. That led to Angle making the pin.

Winner: Kurt Angle via pinfall (1 star)


In back Capt. Lou Albano and "Superfly" Jimmy Snuka are walking in a hallway when their path is blocked by Buddy Rogers and The Invaders.

Buddy Rogers: Tough break losing your title to Rick Rude at WrestleMania. However, we are glad you decide to join the nWa.

Capt. Lou Albano: I already told you. We ain't joining brotha.

Buddy Rogers: I was not talking to you, fatso.

With that Lou turns to look at Jimmy who shrugs his shoulders before hitting Lou with a clothesline. Buddy laughs then walks off followed by The Invaders and Jimmy Snuka. Capt. Lou Albano is laying on the ground groaning in pain.


Gorilla Monsoon: Wow. First Macho Man and now Superfly. The ranks of the nWa keep growing. The Hart Foundation and WWF sure have a lot to deal with.

Bobby Heenan: Hey Monsoon, do you think that Snuka is now part of the nWa that they will be coming for Rick Rude and the IC title?

Gorilla Monsoon: That is so you Bobby. The nWa is getting larger and you are worried about your own interests. As far as Savage, he is up next in our main event.


"Macho Man" Randy Savage w/Andre the Giant vs Keith Steinborn

Savage was never in trouble as he played with Steinborn. He tried a pair of covers as the match went along but they were very casual, and Steinborn was able to kick out. After the second one Savage motioned for Andre to enter the ring. Andre did and the referee tried to get him to go back down on the floor but he did not try to hard. Andre stood in the corner and Savage went up, stood on Andre's massive shoulders and fly off hitting a Flying Elbow Drop. This time he easily made the pin.

Winner: "Macho Man" Randy Savage by pinfall (2 stars)

The James Gang made short work of their opponents. They kept Eli Everfly on their side of the ring. B.G. went for a cover but Eli kicked out. The James Gang double teamed him and hit a spiked piledriver. A bit after Kip hit a standing dropkick then he folded up Eli to get the three count. Larry is yelling at Juvi for not trying to make a save. Juvi just shrugs his shoulders, drops off the apron and slowly walks off to the back without the rest of his team.

Winner: The James Gang by pinfall to advance to the finals (1 star)


Tony Schiavone: We have one team set for our finals to crown the United States Tag Team Champions. That match will take place at the Spring Stampede PPV. Wait, I am getting word that two men are walking around in back looking for the Road Warriors. Who are they? You have to be kidding me. It seems it is The Mulkeys who are looking for the Warriors. Are they out of their minds? Let's go back there.
Sure enough. The Mulkeys are walking around asking people if they have seen the WCW World Tag Team Champions the Road Warriors. It seems The Mulkeys want to accept the Warriors request for real challengers.


"Golden Boy" Danny Spivey vs Mike Jackson

Early on it looked like Danny would get his payback quickly. He hit his Bulldog finisher but Mike was able to kick out. It seemed to frustrate the "Golden Boy" who lost his concentration. That allowed Mike to get going. He went for the win using his finisher but Danny kicked out. Soon after Danny got going again. He took Mike for a ride with a second Bulldog and picked up the W.

Winner: "Golden Boy" Danny Spivey via pinfall (2 stars)


A promo for the next WCW PPV event, Spring Stampede. The following matches have been announced.

"Midnight Lover" Zicky Dice got the jump on Bobby Eaton but both men ran the ropes and clotheslined each other. As they laid on the mat it was Bobby who stirred first. He crawled over and tagged Stan Lane. Stan came in and hit a crawling head butt on Zicky. P.N. News was encouraging his man when James E Cornetter came over and threatened him with his tennis racquet. Stan Lee pulled Zicky to his feet and hit a Russian Leg Sweep. After Zicky kicked out Stan tagged Bobby. The Midnight Express worked Zicky over some more and finally Stan hit another Russian Leg Sweet and pinned him to earn the win for his team.

Winner: Midnight Express by pinfall to advance to the finals (1 star)


Larry Zbyszko: The finals are set in the tournament and it should be a banger. The James Gang will be facing Midnight Express. That match could go either way. Either way our first US Tag Team champs will be an amazing team.


Inside the locker room Brad Armstrong is talking to his dad, Bob Armstrong.

Brad Armstrong: How did you get a title shot? Why did you not get it for me?

Bob Armstrong: I keep telling you son, you are not ready. You lose focus too much. Be patient, listen to me and you will have gold around your waist before too long. We will talk more later. I need to get out there and show Elgin how us Armstrongs do things.

He walks off leaving Brad alone, but Brad is not alone for long. In walks Mike Rotunda wearing a Syracuse University letterman's jacket and "Golden Boy" Danny Spivey who is wearing a University of Georgia letterman's jacket.


"Unbreakable" Michael Elgin vs "Bullet" Bob Armstrong in a WCW US Heavyweight Championship title match

After the opening bell rang Michael asked for a microphone for some reason. "My daddy told me you never turn your back on someone you respect or someone you fear". With that he handed the mic back and proceded to turn his back on Bob. The "Bullet" looked around to the fans who encouraged him to go after Michael so that is what he did. For the first couple minutes it seemed Michael made a big mistake. Bob was controlling the action and the champ was in trouble. But Michael is no pushover and he fought back.

First he rolled to the floor and when Bob came out after him Michael ran around the ring with Bob in pursuit. Suddently, Michael stopped, changed direction and leveled Bob with a lariat. Back in the ring another lariat had Bob reeling. It looked like the match was over when Michael hit his Elgin Bomb finisher but Bob was able to kick out. Elgin went and rocked Bob with a series of spinning backfists. Then it was a corkscrew splash and cover. Bob kicked out but Michael smelled victory and hit a second corkscrew for the successful title defense.

Winner: "Unbreakable" Michael Elgin via pinfall to retain (2 stars)




ECW Chaos


Joey Styles: Welcome to ECW Chaos. We have a great show for you tonight. B. J. Whitmer will be in action. Rhino gets his match with Rush. Then, in our main event, I cannot believe what I am about to say but it is the honest to God truth. Samoa Joe has not spoken since returning to ECW but somehow he let ECW officials know he wanted a match against The Pit Bulls. Not one of them. BOTH of them. Not a tag team match. No partner for Joe. Nope. He will take on both Pit Bulls in a 2 on 1 handicap tag team match. I think Samoa Joe has lost his mind. (pauses and looks side to side) Just don't tell him I said that.


The opening promo with highlights of matches, heavy on the violence.


The man known as "Supercop" Dick Justice is in the ring. He has demanded a rematch with Vibora. After a bit Kobra Moon comes out leading Vibora to the ring.


The ring announcers starts to do his job and announces Vibora but Kobra Moon stops him and calls him over.

Kobra Moon: The people have spoken, and the Reptile Tribe try to give the people what they want. From this moment forward Vibora will be known as Luchasaurus.

With that the ring announcer lets the fans know it will be Luchasaurus against "Supercop" Dick Justice.


Luchasaurus w/Kobra Moon vs "Supercop" Dick Justice

Justice is pumped up and starts like a house on fire. Luchasaurus did not seem ready for it. After an around the world arm drag Justice goes for the cover but Luchasaurus kicks out with authority at one. Justice looks completely shocked. Then the large dinosaur man starts to get in some offense but for not long as Justice counters and is back on the attack. It looks like he might get the win, but he cannot find the move to put Luchasaurus away.

Luchasaurus starts to beat down on Justice. It now looks like he will roll to victory. As Kobra Moon distracts the referee Luchasaurus chokes Justice. Then the big man hits a Tombstone Age. Just when it looks like the match is over Tommy Dreamer come running down, slides into the ring and pulls Luchasaurus off Justice. As the giant lizard stands up Tommy grabs him, puts him on Tommy's shoulders and performs a Death Valley Driver. The referee orders Tommy out of the ring and not wanting to cost Justice the match Tommy leaves the ring and goes into the back. The crowd is cheering and urging Dick Justice on. The "Supercop" hits a Steamroller and hooks Luchasaurus's legs. The referee counts to three and Justice has the upset victory.

Winner: "Supercop" Dick Justice via pinfall (2 stars)


He has his arm raised and then Justice asks for a mic.

Dick Justice: Ok Ms. Kobra Moon. I beat your pet. Now, I want answers.

From the floor Kobra just looks at her with a smile on her face. Justice watches her intently, so he does not notice someone running out from back. It is another lizard man who slips into the ring and attacks Justice from the back. He is pounding on Justice and once Luchasaurus recovers he joins in. Kobra Moon slowly enters the ring and grabs the mic.

Kobra Moon: Dick Justice let me introduce you to my other pet. He is Pindar. I am a woman of my word. You did beat my Luchasaurus albeit with help from that Tommy Dreamer. So, I will let you know what happened to Val Venis and The Sandman. (pauses) Next week.

Fans boo as Kobra Moon leads her two pets out of the ring and up the ramp toward the back.


B. J. Whitmer vs Rohit Raju

At the start of the match B. J. offers his hand to Rohit for a handshake. As Rohit thinks about it and evern looks to the fans for advice B. J. ends up giving him an eye poke before Rohit can shake hands. Whitmer pushes his advantage and makes a cover. B. J. ends up tossing Rohit out to the floor. As B. J. waits in the ring, talking to the ref, Rohit slowly recovers and goes to get in the ring. As he is standing on the apron Kevin Sullivan's little person mascot/jester crawls out from under the ring and grabs Rohit's legs. As Rohit cannot enter the ring and is distracted B. J. runs at him and hits a forearm that sends Rohit crashing to the floor. When Rohit finally enters the ring he receives a Wrist Clutch Exploder for his effort. B. J. pins him easily.

Winner: B. J. Whitmer by pinfall (1 star)


In a back hallway Raven walks up to Samoa Joe.

Raven: I hear you have a tag match against The Pit Bulls tonight. No one knows them better than me. I can be your tag partner against them.

An emotionless stare from Samoa Joe as he looks at Raven.

Raven: Come on. You cannot take on both of them by yourself. Those punks abandoned me, and I would like to teach them a lesson. So, we tag just this once to beat The Pit Bulls.

No answer from Samoa Joe who just walks past Raven and down the hall.

Raven: Fine. Have it your way. It's your funeral.


Rush w/Super Crazy vs Rhino

An ill-tempered Rhino could barely wait for the bell ringing to start the match. He rushed at Rush who moved out of the way. As Rhino tried to get at him again Rush pulled the referee between the two of them. Rhino stopped abrubtly, grabbed the referee and moved him to the side. When he turned his attention back to his opponent Rush just gave him a push. Rhino just sneered and went for Rush who ducked and then hit a flying forearm or as Joey called it, a flying burrito.

Rush tried to do damage to Rhino, but nothing really seemed to faze the original war machine. Rhino tried to toss Rush into the corner, but Rush reversed it. Rhino came out of the corner and leveled Rush with a clothesline. After a spinning spinebuster Rhino waited till Rush got to his feet. When Rush did Rhino hit Gore! That was all she wrote.

Winner: Rhino via pinfall (2 stars)


An irate Super Crazy went up the ring steps and then up to the top rope from the outside. He waited till Rhino turned around and tried a cross body block. Rhino caught him then flung Super Crazy over his head with a fallaway slam. Then Rhino waited till Super Crazy staggered to his feet and hit a Gore! on Super Crazy. Fans are going nuts and Rhino stands tall in the ring with is fists above his head. The camera catches a man holding a folded chair hoping over the guardrail and jumping into the ring. He smashes the chair onto Rhino's back. Rhino whinces but does not look hurt much. The man swings again and Rhino crumbles to his knees. The man moves around to be in front of Rhino and hits the chair on Rhino's head. It busts Rhino open as blood starts to steam down his face. Rhino's eyes roll into his head, and he falls face first onto the mat.

Joey Styles: Who is that man? He seems familiar. I know, that is Manny Villalobos. He has stopped me a few times as I have arrived for Chaos to ask me for a job with ECW. It looks like he is auditioning for a place in the Latino World Order.

Sure enough, Manny goes over and helps both Rush and Super Crazy to their feet. Then he points out the laid-out Rhino as Chaos goes to commercials.


"The Prince of Darkness" Kevin Sullivan is sitting in his throne when B. J. Whitmer and the little person walk in.

Kevin Sullivan: Well done, you two. Our plans are rolling along very well. Soon, I shall call upon the winds and we shall bring the World Tag Team titles to our family.

The little person jumps up and down with excitement which brings a smile to Kevin's face, and he pats the jester on top of his head.


Samoa Joe vs The Pit Bulls w/Francine in a handicap match

When Samoa Joe came down to the ring, he stood in the middle of the rings with his arms crossed. Pit Bull #1 entered the ring, walked up to him and was talking smack. Samoa Joe just stared daggers into him but did not speak. Pit Bull #1 looked back at his partner as neither man could figure out what was up with Joe. Pit Bull #1 looked back at Joe and talked some more, even slapping his face as he tried to get a reaction. He did not get one at first but when he turned to look at Pit Bull #2 in their corner Samoa Joe attacked him.

Samoa Joe was controlling the action against Pit Bull #1 for a couple minutes. Then Pit Bull #2 ran into the ring. Joe grabbed him and hit a belly to belly suplex. But when Joe got back to his feet Pit Bull #1 hit him which stunned Joe. For the next several minutes The Pit Bulls were dominating Samoa Joe. Not only did they stay fresh by making tags while Joe had no one to tag out to, they used double team moves to do a lot of damage. Samoa Joe rolled out to the floor to get a breather. Pit Bull #2 went out after him. The two men started to brawl and it got more physical as they went. Francine sent Pit Bull #1 to go help his partner. He went to clothesline Samoa Joe but Joe stepped to the side and sent #1 crashing into #2. As Pit Bull #1 looked down at his partner Samoa Joe grabbed him and threw him into the steel ring stairs making a loud crash. Then Joe took Pit Bull #2 and rolled him into the ring. As Francine came over and checked on Pit Bull #1, Joe got into the ring and locked the Coquina Clutch on Pit Bull #2. It did not take long for the Pit Bull to submit.

Winner: Samoa Joe by submission (2 stars)


Before Chaos ends Samoa Joe stands in the ring making the belt gesture at his waist.

April Week 2, Year 2



WWF Raw


Gorilla Monsoon: Welcome to Raw. We have a great show for you tonight.

Bobby Heenan: Of course we do. I am here.

Gorilla Monsoon: Give me a break. Hey Bobby, you said people were lining up to get you as their manager. I looked into it, and they were just lining up to use the restroom.

Bobby Heenan: Wha..I mean...what do you know Monsoon. When you leave here you just go straight to the snack bar. I am the greatest living manager. If you do not watch yourself, I might end up managing the nWA.

Gorilla Monsson: Oh, is that so? I am not sure if they would want you.

Bobby Heenan: Whatever. Just talk about tonight's Raw.

Gorilla Monsoon: Fine. We have King Kong Bundy taking on Giant Bernard. "Mr. Wonderful" Paul Orndoff will be in action. The Midnight Rockers will be facing the WWF World Tag Team Champions, America's Most Wanted, in a non-title match in our main event. But first, in or opening match it is Killshot defending the Light Heavyweight Championship against Rey Horus.


Killshot vs Rey Horus in a WWF Light Heavyweight Championship match

This was an amazing match and a great way to start a wrestling show. Rey Horus hit an overhead suplex into a corner right after the match started and it let him get rolling. He took the fight to the champion and seemed to have Killshot in trouble. A Spanish Fly and 450 splash led to a cover and kick out. Then Rey used a Cazador Bomb on Killshot, but the champ kicked out with power at the last moment. From there the action was hot and fast for a few minutes as both men hit moves and both refused to give up. Killshot hit his 450 Splash finisher three times, but Rey kicked out to the amazement of the crowd. Then Rey fought back and got rolling. He made covers after an overhead suplex into a corner, after a Spanish Fly and after a springboard leg drop. Rey was getting frustrated as he could not find a way to put the champ away and win the title. He might have lost focus as Killshot went back on the attack. He ended up on the top of a turnbuckle and hit yet another 450 Splash. The champ finally was able to make the pin.

Winner Killshot by pinfall to retain (4 stars)


The Midnight Rockers are in their locker room getting ready for the main event. They are talking about how they are going to shut that Brokeback Mountain cowboy James Storm up and beat the mild cat, Chris Harris.


King Kong Bundy vs Giant Bernard w/Kikutaro

Kikutaro leads Giant Bernard down to the ring with a bucket of chicken. But he motions that Bernard cannot have any until he beats Bundy one, two, three. That seemed to motivate Bernard as he started hot. An impressive show of power as Bernard hit a double underhook suplex. He kept going and was doing good till he tossed Bundy into the ropes and tried a shoulder block. That put Bernard on his back side as Bundy knocked him over. Bundy used his power to wear Bernard down. After an elbow drop he went for a cover and Bernard kicked out. Then Kikutaro showed Bernard the bucket of chicken. Bernard got a second breath and rocked the big Bundy. He hit a Bernard Bomb and went for a cover but Bundy kicked out. Then it was a Bernard Driver and kick out. Then like deja vu it happened again. Kikutaro told Bernard to go up. Bernard looked at Kikutaro like he was crazy but did as instructed. Well, he climbed to the middle rope only and came off with a splash. After a pair of short-arm clotheslines Bernard climbed the ropes again and hit another middle rope splash. Turned out that was enough, and he made the pin.

Winner: Giant Bernard via pinfall (2 stars)


After the bell Kikutaro enters the ring and presents the bucket to Bernard who pulls out a drumstick and starts eating. The referee is checking on Bundy who seems dazed. Kikutaro sees what is going on and appears conserned. Then he holds up a finger as he gets an idea. He pulls out a piece of chicken and moves it back and forth under Bundy's nose. Suddenly, as if rising from the grave, Bundy sits up. He grabs the piece and devours it. He looks at Kikutaro and Bernard. At first his face is a scowl but then he smiles and seems to thank them. After rubbing his belly Kikutaro offers him the bucket and Bundy pulls another piece out. Then KIkutaro and Bernard sit down near Bundy, Kikutaro places the bucket between them and they start having a picnic. The referee seems perplexed on what to do. He points to let them know they should leave. They nod their heads but hold up a finger to say "one moment". Then Kikutaro motions for the ref to help himself to some chicken. The ref looks around toward the fans and timekeeper then shrugs his shoulders, sits down and grabs a piece of fried chicken as Raw goes to a commercial break.


The Hart Foundation walk out to the ring.

Bret Hart: I heard Mr. Fuji toss out a challenge for his man Antonio Inoki. Well come out here and let me give you, my answer.

A new entrance video starts to play. It introduces the new group, Fuji Dynasty. Mr. Fuji walks out with Antonio Inoki, Giant Baba and Masa Saito.

Mr. Fuji: This is Fuji Dynasty. Most powerful group in wrestling. Now Bret, you will give Antonio his World title shot. Yes?

Bret Hart: You got it. Next month at the Backlash PPV I will put up this World title against Antonio. Congratulations. He is the most deserving of a title shot and he has it.

A big smile crosses Fuji's face, and he leads his men back to where they came from as Raw goes to commercials.


Back from commercials and Randy Savage is going nuts in the nWa locker room.

Randy Savage: What was that? You told me I would get the World title shot.

Buddy Rogers: I have no idea. It is obvious to everyone you should get that shot. I think Bret is just playing mind games with you. Calm down. Do not let him get what he wants.

Randy Savage: (points at Buddy) You do not tell me what to do. You fix this. Part of me joining this faction was the fact I would get a title shot. If you cannot get it for me I will find someone who can. Oh yea!

He storms out leaving a frustrated Buddy Rogers who looks over to The Invaders but neither of the three men says anything.


"Mr. Wonderful" Paul Orndorff vs Frogman Leblanc

The men did a quick handshake to start the match then circled around looking for an opening. Leblanc tried a kick to the midsection that missed the mark. Orndorff countered with a stepover armbar leading to a power slam. Not long after he lifted Leblanc in a stalling vertical suplex. The fans started to count but Paul did not notice and he finished the move at seven. He then realized what happened and held up a finger as the fans chanted "one more time". He lifted Leblanc again and the fans counted to ten then Paul brought Leblanc down to the mat. He floated over to make the cover, and he earned the pin.

Winner: "Mr. Wonderful" Paul Orndorff by pinfall (1 star)


A promo for the next PPV, Backlash. Only one match has been announced so far.

- Bret "Hitman" Hart vs Antonio Inoki in a WWF World Heavyweight Championship match


As America's Most Wanted make their way down to the ring James Storm has a cold one in his hand. Chris Harris does not seem pleased with it and appears to be telling James he should have left it in the back.


AMW vs Midnight Rockers in a non-title match

This match was a slow starter. James Storm and Marty Jannetty kicked things off. Storm tried an apron enzuigiri but Marty ducked. Then Marty tried a body slam but he was unable to lift Storm who shoved him away. Storm tried the same move he just tried and missed again. Then Marty tried a body slam again and while he picked Storm up Storm slipped over his back and shoved Marty from behind. Then Storm went over to the corner, picked up his beer bottle and took a long drink. He went over and ended up spitting some beer in Marty's face. Marty wiped it away and went to toss Storm into the corner. Storm reversed it and sent Marty into the corner. Marty ran up and bounced off the ropes and leveled Storm with a lariat.

At that point Marty started to work Storm over and then tagged Shawn Michaels in. Shawn tried to keep his team's momentum going but Storm overpowered him. The Tennessee Cowboy hit a Last Call but Shawn kicked out at one. Storm went over and tagged Chris Harris in. The Wildcat beat on Shawn a bit then he tagged Storm and they went for the finish with their tag move, Death Sentence. It was not enough as Shawn found a way to kick out. Storm went for another cover, but Marty broke it up. Then a bit later Storm hit a second Last Call, and he pinned Shawn.

Winner: AMW via pinfall (2 stars)


The first thing James Storm does after the bell is grab his beer and have a celebration drink. He smiles at Chris Harris who just shakes his head in disbelief. Storm turns his bottle over to show it is empty and motions he is headed to the back to get another one. Harris follows him but does not seem in a celebratory mood as Raw goes off the air.




WCW Nitro


The show comes on the air and the Road Warriors are outraged. It seems someone came into their locker room, went thru their things and even took their spiked shoulder pads.

Animal: We know who did this. It is those pencil necked geeks, The Mulkeys. They want a match against us. Well fine. You punks got it. We are going to destroy you.

Hawk: Damn straight we are. You losers better call the local hospital and reserve a pair of beds for you. You are going to need them after we are done with you. What a ruuuuuuush!!!


Tony Schiavone: What were The Mulkeys thinking?

Larry Zbyszko: They were not thinking, Tony. That is the problem. The Road Warriors are not a fun team to deal with when they are in a good mood. You have to have a death wish to piss them off before having a match with them.

Tony Schiavone: If they are smart, they will give someone the shoulder pads to return to the Warriors and then hop on the first plane out of town. We have some other matches that will be a bit more competitive tonight. Tiger Mask faces Lio Rush, reDRagon looks to avenge a loss to Sweet 'n' Sour International and Big Van Vader takes on Mike Rotunda. Time to get the action on Nitro going.


Tiger Mask vs Lio Rush

A very entertaining opening match. Full of moves, counters and plenty of high-flying Momentum kept swinging from one man to the other. The vet was able to put away the youngster Lio Rush with a Tiger Suplex.

Winner: Tiger Mask by pinfall (4 stars)


American Bullet Club are hanging out and discussing Adam Cole making his WCW in ring debut next week against Moose. They all agree it will be "too sweet" and they throw up wolf pack hand signs.


reDRagon vs Sweet 'n' Sour International w/Larry Sweeney

Kyle O'Reilly and Eli Everfly start for their teams and Kyle never gives Eli a chance to get in the match. It is total domination for a minute or so. Kyle makes a tag and reDRagon perform a knee strike/Regal Plex combo. As Bobby Fish goes for the cover Larry orders Juventud to make a save. Juvi slowly goes thru the ropes and before he is done the match is over.

Winner: reDRagon via pinfall (1 star)


Larry is questioning Juvi why he didn't go faster and make the save. There is no response from Juvi.

With the match over there is an announcement that DJ Z will be defending his title against Juventud Guerrera at Spring Stampede. Larry Sweeney is shocked and he looks at Juvi. Guerrera just holds up his hands, shrugs his shoulders and walks off leaving a confused Larry and Eli.


A promo for the next WCW PPV event, Spring Stampede. The following matches have been announced.

- Bryan Danielson vs AJ Styles in a WCW World Championship match
- DJ Z vs Juventud Guerrera in a WCW Cruiserweight Championship match
- Midnight Express vs The James Gang in the US Tag Team tournament finals to crown the first champions


Mike Rotunda, wearing a University of Syracuse letterman jacket, came out and was joined by "Golden Boy" Danny Spivey who was wearing a University of Georgia letterman jacket himself.


Big Van Vader vs Mike Rotunda w/"Golden Boy" Danny Spivey

Mike Rotunda started hot and was using wrestling to keep Vader off his game. He tried a pin but Vader kicked out. Soon, the power of Vader started to turn things his way. A power body slam was followed by a cover, and a kick out. Then the big man hit a Vader Bomb, and again Rotunda kicked out. A second Vader Bomb. This time Danny Spivey got on the apron, and distracted the referee. This angered Vader so he hit a third Vader Bomb. It took some time for the referee to turn around and that allowed Rotunda time to kick out. Vader then wanted to end things. He climbed to the top rope and hit a moonsault. That was enough to get the pin.

Winner: Big Van Vader by pinfall


Mike Rotunda grabbed a chair, slid in the ring and attacked Vader with it. Once Rotunda recovered he joined Spivey in the beat down of the big man. Spivey placed the chair on the mat and Rotunda hit a Butterfly Suplex onto the chair. Rarely, if ever, has Big Van Vader been laid out like that.


Standing on stage is Gordon Solie and he stops Rotunda and Spivey as they head into the back.

Gordon Solie: Please gentlemen, a moment of your time if you will.

Danny Spivey: Yea, what is it little man?

Gordon Solie: Well, first off what is up with these jackets. Football season is still a few months away.

Mike Rotunda: It is very simple Mr. Solie. Not only are we great professional athletes but we were great amateur ones as well. We are proud of that and are showing the world that. We were varsity lettermen which makes us part of an elite group. A Varsity Club if you will. In fact, that will be our name.

Gordon Solie: Interesting. One last thing. Do you two think it was wise to jump Vader like that. He is a big, powerful man.

Danny Spivey: Wise? Probably not but who cares. It sure was fun.

He laughs and Mike smiles as the two men walk off. Gordon Solie thanks them and then sends things back to Tony and Larry.


Road Warriors w/Paul Ellering vs The Mulkeys in a WCW World Tag Team Championship match

The Mulkeys came out first and were wearing the Road Warriors spiked shoulder pads. The fans chanted "Warriors are gonna kill you" over and over. Just as The Mulkeys got down to the ring the champs came running out and a wild brawl took place around the ring. It was a one-sided brawl as the Road Warriors beat The Mulkeys all over the place and ripped the shoulder pads off of them. Hawk rolled Randy into the ring and entered. The match started and ended up shorter than the entrance. Hawk gave Randy an eye gouge then tagged Animal. Hawk lifted Randy onto his shoulders and Animal obliterated him with Doomsday Device. Animal placed his two palms on Randy's chest and the referee made the count.

Winner: Road Warriors via pinfall (1 star)




ECW Chaos


The show starts in a grungy dungeon looking room. The camera pans and shows Val Venis and The Sandman both chained to the wall with scarves wrapped around their mouths. Then Kobra Moon walks in with Luchasaurus and Pindar following her.

Kobra Moon: Dick Justice, you wanted to know what happened to Val and The Sandman. Well, here they are. They are guests in my...playpen. I am sure you would like for me to set them free. Well, I have a proposition for you. A tag team match. You and that meddling Tommy Dreamer. Yes Tommy, I have not forgotten how you stuck your nose where it did not belong. My deal is Justice and Dreamer vs my pets, Luchasaurus and Pindar. If you two can win the match I will let these two men go free. If not, they remain here for me to play with when I desire.


Joey Styles: The craziness continues around here. This is ECW and you are watching Chaos.


The opening promo with highlights of matches, heavy on the violence.


Joey Styles: Rhino will be in action tonight against Manny Villalobos as Manny tries to prove his worth to the LWO. Ken Shamrock will be in another Hybrid match. The All Night Express will be in action...against each other. The team has split, and Rhett Titus and Kenny King will be trying to prove to the other who the better man in their former tag team is. Then in our main event it will be heated enemies Briscoe Brothers and LAX going to war. It should be a hard-hitting slugfest. Let's get the insanity started.


Rhino vs Manny Villalobos w/LWO

At the start of the match LWO called out to Rhino and swiped at his feet as he got close to the ropes. It distracted him which was the plan. It allowed Manny to get a jump on him. Manny was in control for first couple minutes but could not really do much damage. Rhino then took control, and he did damage. After only a minute on offense he hit a side belly-to-belly suplex and covered for a two. He then stood in the corner and waited for Manny to get to his feet. Soon as Manny did, Rhino hit his Gore! finisher. He pinned Manny before LWO could stop it.

Winner: Rhino via pinfall (1 star)


Soon as the bell rings, Rhino rolls out of the ring away from LWO to avoid getting jumped. He is one tough SOB, but he knows the numbers were not in his favor.


Two men are walking in the back of the arena. They are wearing matching tie dye shirts with denim overalls on top of them. One is wearing a red and black mask over his face. Both men are wearing glasses with tape on the nose piece. The masked man wearing his glasses over his mask. They seem to be lost and walk off.

Joey Styles: Who the heck was that? Looks like the freak show is in town. Then again, this IS ECW.


Ken Shamrock vs Rocky Kernodle in a Hybrid match

1st round started with each man countering the other and then Ken got rolling. Rocky fought back and used a sleeper to try and get the win. Ken backed hard into a corner to get free. Rocky then tossed Ken into the opposite corner. He rushed in and was caught by Ken who performed an over head suplex that send Rocky crashing into the corner. Ken covered but Rocky kicked out which the fans loved. Ken then applied his Ankle Lock finisher. There was a banging sound to signify the 10 second mark. The fans cheered Rocky on to hold out and he lasted till the bell to stay alive.

Joey Styles: What a round. Early on it looked like Ken would roll to a victory but Rocky fought back. For a while it seemed he would win the round, but Ken finished on fire and might have won the round. Here comes the 2nd round.

2nd round saw Ken come out aggressive with roundhouse kicks. Not only did Rocky survive them but he was able to go on the attack and had Ken on his heels for most of the round. He just could not get close to putting Ken away. Ken was able to fight back near the end of the round, but he did not do much.

Joey Styles: Call me crazy but I think this match is tied one round a piece. I am not a trained judge but just my humble observation. For either man to win they might want to get a pin or submission this final round and not leave it to the judges.

3rd round saw Ken amp up his aggression even more. He used rolling kneebars to soften Rocky up as he prepared to try and use his Ankle Lock finisher. However, every time Ken went to apply it Rocky scrambled away or grabbed the ropes to get the referee to back Ken up. A couple times Rocky was able to go on the attack and the fans chanted his name but he could not do much. Time ran out and the match was going to the judges.
The ring announcer is given the score cards, and he announces that all three judges scored the match 29-28 with two rounds going to the winner...Ken Shamrock. That did not sit well with the fans who booed. Ken looked around and seemed surprised, not to mention a bit upset, at the fan's reaction.

Winner: Ken Shamrock by judge's decision (3 stars)


A short video of Cheeseburger going thru his wrestling training in a ring set in a gym somewhere. It is announced he will make his in-ring debut on the next Chaos.


Rhett Titus vs Kenny King

A really good match that saw two men who knew each other very well. As happens when tag partners face each other the men were able to know what the other would do so they countered well enough. It was hard for either man to get much offense in during the early going. Rhett Titus used a Thrust Buster to try a pin, but King kicked out before the referee even started his count. Kenny King fought back and used a Royal Flush a pair of times to try and secure the victory for himself with no luck. Even his Coronation finisher could not put Titus away. King's frustration let Titus regain control. He hit a frog splash but only got a two count. A bit later he hit another frog splash and finally was able to make the pin.

Winner: Rhett Titus via pinfall (4 stars)


Both men sit on the mat for a bit after the match as they catch their breath. They get to their feet and Titus offers King his hand for shake. King looks at it then slaps it away before swiftly leaving the ring. Titus looks unhappy and shakes his head.


Joey Styles: It is official. ECW leaders called Tommy Dreamer and "Supercop" Dick Justice. Both men agreed to face Ember Moon's pets in a tag team match. That will happen next week. Can the two of them get the W and free Val Venis and The Sandman?


Briscoe Brothers vs LAX

Mark and Homicide got things going in this battle of heated enemies. After some back-and-forth Mark started to string some offense together. Especially spinning slaps that were meant to be insulting as well as do harm. He tagged his brother, and a double flapjack had Homicide stunned. Jay quickly climbed to the top of a turnbuckle and flew off with a cutter. He made a cover, but Homicide kicked out. A bit later Jay hit his Jay Driller, but Homicide kicked out at one. A second Jay Driller brought Hernandez in to try and make a save but Mark stopped him as Homicide kicked out. A tag to Mark and the Briscoe Brothers performed a high-elevation hip toss. After taking some offense from Mark, Homicide was able to tag out.

Hernandez came in and lit Mark up. He tosses him around the ring for a minute or so. Then it was an Avalanche Border Toss. Mark found a way to get his shoulder up before being pinned. Some more offense from Hernandez and he tags Homicide back in. It did not take long for Homicide to ramp up the violence. He pulls out a fork from his wrestling gear and digs it into Mark's forehead. Then he takes the fight to the floor. He pulls out a cookie sheet from under the ring and smashes Mark's head with it. Homicide places the sheet on the apron and rolls Mark into the ring. The attention to Mark's head has caused a small lesion and he is bleeding. Homicide tries to beat him with an STF and piledriver. But not only does Mark stay in the match, he finds a way to tag out. Jay is all over Homicide. He goes off and knocks Hernandez off the apron before grabbing the cookie sheet. A couple whacks with the cookie sheet and then Jay drops it on to the middle of the mat. He lifts Homicide and hits a death valley driver onto the cookie sheet. He makes the lateral press, and the referee counts to three.

Winner: Briscoe Brothers by pinfall (4 stars)


Joey Styles: Well, that was a brutal match. Jay is checking on his brother who has a bit of blood on his face. We have a great Chaos next week. We will see the debut of Cheeseburger, Tommy Dreamer and Dick Justice will take on Luchasaurus and Pindar in an attempt to try and free Val Venis and The Sandman. If that was not good enough, this main event was just announced. It will be ECW World Champion Shane Douglas taking on Samoa Joe. If the show was not already must see that match takes it over the top. Don't dare miss it.
