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

[on_the_edge]

April Week 3, Year 2



WWF Raw


Raw comes on the air and a nervous looking Bobby Heenan sits next to Gorilla Monsoon.


Gorilla Monsoon: Hello everyone and welcome to WWF Raw. Boy Bobby, tonight is a big night for you. Your man Rick Rude defends the Intercontinental Championship against the former champion, Jimmy Snuka.

Bobby Heenan: Shut up Monsoon. Don't you think I know that? Do you think I need you telling me what is at stake tonight? I am not a mornon like all of those losers watching us at home. I know what is going on tonight. But don't you worry one bit. My man Rude will enter the ring tonight the champ and he will leave it that way. You can take that to the bank.

Gorilla Monsoon: No need for me to worry. I am not his manager and besides, you are worried enough for the both of us. We have some great matches lined up for you folks besides that main event of Rude vs Snuka.


Brian Cage vs Sgt. Slaughter

Brian Cage is a young man with a good future ahead of him. It just was not his night against a grizzled vet like Sgt. Slaughter. The Sarge controled most of the action and slapped on a Cobra Clutch early in the match. Cage almost faded but he grabbed Slaughters legs and fell backwards to get a break. Slaughter kept the pressure on and tried a cover but Cage kicked out. When Cage found himself in the Cobra Clutch again he could not find a way out and tapped.

Winner: Sgt. Slaughter via submission (1 star)


Once Cage caught his breath Sgt. Slaughter gave him a salute before leaving the ring.

Killer Kowalski vs Randy Savage

This was a slow starting match because every time Kowalski went to lock up with Savage, Randy would back off and either slide between the ropes telling the ref to back Kowalski up or he would roll out to the floor and wait before getting back in. Randy finally made a move by slapping Kowalski in the face. Big mistake. Kowalski responded with a kidney punch and he just rolled from there. He applied the Kowalski Claw and Savage tapped out before too long.

Winner: Killer Kowalski by submission (1 star)


A camera in back catches Kikutaro, Giant Bernard and King Kong Bundy sitting around a table eating fried chicken, talking and laughing.


Giant Baba & Masa Saito w/Mr. Fuji vs The Moondogs

This match was a bit of surprise as The Moondogs dominated Masa Saito. They performed a Moondog Drop on Saito and Moondog Rex, grabbing a big handful of tights, made the pin.

Winner: The Moondogs via 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


Rick Rude w/Bobby Heenan vs Jimmy Snuka w/Andre the Giant in a WWF Intercontinental Championship match

After Snuka started hot Rick Rude fought back. When it seemed Snuka would bounce back Heenan tried to grab his legs as he got close to the ropes. That brought Andre the Giant over and he stomped on Heenan's left foot. That resulted in a loud scream from Bobby which actually got Snuka's attention allowing Rude to jump him from behind. As Bobby hopped around on one foot outside of the ring, wailing in pain, Rude hit a Rude Awakening inside the ring and covered Snuka for the pin.

Winner: Rick Rude by pinfall (2 stars)


As Bobby Heenan hops around on one foot he celebrates with Rick Rude who helps him as they make their way toward the back.




WCW Nitro


Tony Schiavone: This is WCW Nitro, the best wrestling on the planet. I am Tony Schiavone, and I am joined by the Living Legend Larry Zbyszko. How's it going, Larry?

Larry Zbyszko: Sunshine and blue skies, Tony. I have the best seat in the house every week for the greatest wrestling action and tonight is no exception. In our main event we will see Adam Cole make his WCW in ring debut against Moose of the Four Horsemen. Right now however it is our opening bout between two rough and tough tag teams as Powers of Pain take on The Russians. Both teams are in the ring so let's go see how this match turns out.


Powers of Pain vs The Russians

The Barbarian and Ivan Koloff start for their teams. A bit of back-and-forth and Ivan was in control. He made the mistake of tossing The Barbarian out of the ring and went after him. The Barbarian attacked him and beat him down some. The Barbarian rolled Ivan back into the ring. He pounded on Ivan and decided to take the fight out to the floor. Ivan flung The Barbarian into the barricade. Then he threw The Barbarian back first into the ring stairs. The ref came out and threatened to call for the DQ if he did not get back in the ring. Once the match returned there Ivan wrapped The Barbarian in a Bear Hug. His fists pressed into the tender lower back that had been damaged by the stairs. The Barbarian ended up tapping.

Winner: The Russians by submission (1 star)


An announcement that Big Van Vader has asked for a match against The Varsity Club at Spring Stampede. He does not want or, as he says, need a partner. It will be a 2 on 1 handicap match.


Brad Armstrong vs Doug Gilbert

A decent match that saw Brad cruise thru most of it. At one point during the match the camera shot went into the back where it caught The Varsity Club watching the match on a monitor. The end came when Brad hit a second Russian Leg Sweep.

Winner: Brad Armstrong via pinfall (1 star)


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

Reno Scum vs 3 Live Dance Crew w/P.N. News

"The Midnight Lover" Zicky Dice started hot against Adam Thornstowe and he had Adam in trouble when he applied an ankle lock. Adam was able to drag himself to the ropes for a break. Zicky tagged Disco Inferno who kept the heat on. He used stomps in the corner and a swinging neckbreaker to do damage and make a pin attempt. Then it was a diving forearm. As he made the cover Luster the Legend made a move to try and make a save. But as he went thru the ropes P.N. News grabbed his ankle making him fall to the mat as the referee counted to three to end the match.

Winner: 3 Live Dance Crew by pinfall (1 star)


The winners dance their way away from ringside.


An announcement of a new father son tag team coming to WCW. Dick and Kurt Beyer.


Moose w/Ric Flair vs Adam Cole w/AJ Styles

What a match. Before the action began Moose flashed the Four Horsemen hand sign toward Adam Cole who responds with a Bullet Club wolfpack hand sign. Fans started a "too sweet <clap clap>" chant. Moose looked around toward the crowd and got mad. He then grabbed Adam and put him in a bear hug. Then it was a scoop slam. But Adam was not going to be beaten easily and he started fighting back. The match saw momentum swing more than the music at a discotech. Adam was the first to attempt a pin after a diving crossbody that was set up by a superkick. A bit later Adam tried a flying clothesline but Moose caught him and performed a fallaway slam. Then Moose lined Adam up and almost cut him in half with a Spear. Moose made the cover but Adam kicked out at one. Moose looked toward Flair as Moose could not believe it. Moose started to wear Adam down thanks to his power and size advantage. He nailed a Pounce and folded Adam up but Adam got his shoulder up before being pinned. A second Pounce and soon Moose had Adam in a bear hug in the middle of the ring. AJ Styles jumped on the apron to try and get Moose's attention. Flair came over and pulled him off the apron and the two got in a shouting match. As the ref went over to tell them to knock it off the Good Brothers ran down and entered the ring. The attacked Moose and hit their Magic Killer tag move on him. Unfortunately, the ref had turned his head and saw that. He called for the bell.

Winner: Moose via disqualification (4 stars)


With the match lost ABC toss Flair into the ring and jump him and Moose. That brings out the rest of the Four Horsemen and both factions are brawling as Nitro goes off the air.




ECW Chaos


As Chaos comes on the air there is a video message from Tommy Dreamer.

Tommy Dreamer: Kobra Moon, you better be ready to release The Sandman and Val Venis. Because after I and Dick Justice are done with your pets they will only be good for a BBQ. I am not friends with either The Sandman or Val Venis but they are ECW wrestlers and we watch out for our own. Your two men, pets, lizards, whatever they are do not stand a chance against me and Justice.


Joey Styles: Tommy Dreamer is fired up and ready for action. You are watching ECW Chaos. The most chaotic, the most crazy, the most violent wrestling show on TV today.


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


Joey Styles: In our opening bout Cheeseburger will be making his wrestling debut. His opponent? B.J. Whitmer. The "son" of Kevin Sullivan. Cheeseburger sure did not catch a break on this one. This will surely be a sink or swim moment for the young man.


B.J. Whitmer vs Cheeseburger

In the opening moments Cheeseburger got in a bit of offense thanks to his speed and agility as he flew around but B.J. overpowered him and went on the attack. Adrenaline Spike a couple times and a lariat had him comfortably in control. That makes what happened next seem so unneccessary. Whitmer grabbed the ref and pulled him into a corner, the ref's back to the middle of the ring, and seemed to be complaing about something. Then Kevin Sullivan ran down, slid in the ring. helped Cheeseburger to his feet and hit a Fireball in Cheeseburger's face. Soon as Sullivan exited the ring B.J. ran over and made the cover.

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


A video from the day before. Walking thru the woods at dusk is Kevin Sullivan.

Kevin Sullivan: It is time Motor City Machine Guns. Time for you to do battle with the Four Armies of the Wind. Next week you will face off against...the army from the East. The East Coast Connection.

He stops walking as he has come to where Adrian Adonis and Eddie Edwars sit on their motorcycles. Adonis, his hands wearing black leather gloves, rubs them together while flashing an evil smile. Eddie makes a cut throat sign. It appears both men are ready to go to war with the Guns.


Luchasaurus & Pindar w/Kobra Moon vs Tommy Dreamer and Dick Justice

Considering how much was on the line it was strange that Dick Justice started for his team and the smaller Pindar for his. Even though Pindar was giving up weight he was the one rocking it early on. He hit his Pain Killer (double wrist-clutch facebuster) on Justice but only got a two count. A bit later he showed impressive strength as he lifted Justice and hit an F-5 to Cutter and again went for the pin. Tommy Dreamer came in and broke the cover. Pindar went over and tagged Luchasaurus in. The large lizard man stepped over the top rope and entered the ring. On the other side of the ring Tommy urged Justice to come over and tag him. Luchasaurus tilted his head and stared at Tommy. Then he grabbed Justice by the arm and dragged him over to Justice's corner and offered his hand to Tommy to tag. Tommy did not seem to trust the gesture, but he tagged and entered the ring.

Soon as he entered Luchasaurus attacked him. A Tail Whip followed by an Event Horizon and then a cover. Tommy kicked out. The large man kept attacking Tommy and hit a Tombstone Age. As he went for the cover Justice ran in to make the save. Pindar then entered the ring and things broke down. All four men brawled. Tommy and Luchasaurus ended up on the floor and were slugging it out. In the ring Justice leveled Pindar and dropped an elbow on him. Back on the floor Tommy reached under the ring for something to use as a weapon and pulled something out.

Joey Styles: What does he have? Is that...it is. He has an Atari 2600. It seems to come with a game. If I remember right, they usually came with Combat.

Dick, seeing the game console and that Tommy is about to slam it into Luchasaurus's head, rolls out to the floor. DIck stops Tommy and grabs the Atari. He looks it over, his eyes get big and he smiles. He pulls out the game cartridge and the camera catches that it is E.T. The Game. Dick looks at it, wrinkles his nose and hands it to Tommy. Dick then walks over to the timekeeper's table, places the Atari 2600 on the table and tells the timekeeper to watch it. Dick points to fingers to his eyes and then points to the timekeeper to say "I have my eyes on you". Tommy cannot believe what he is seeing. He looks at the game cartridge, shrugs his shoulders and slams it into Luchasaurus's head and it smashes into pieces.

The action finally returns to the ring and Tommy is beating on Pindar. After an inverted DDT from Tommy, Pindar fights back and tosses Tommy back to the floor and goes after him. Tommy nails Pindar with a European uppercut as Pindar went thru the ropes. Then Tommy drags him thru and he crashes onto the floor. Tommy reaches under the ring and this time pulls out a more proper weapon. A chair wrapped in barbed wire. The crowd cheers and they get louder when Tommy cracks it on Pindar's forehead. Pindar stumbles off and Tommy follows. A fan is holding out a bottle of beer. Tommy grabs it, tilts his head back and tips the bottle up. Once he has drained it of beer he smashes it on Pindar's head. Pindar looks to be out on his feet as Tommy shoves him back into the ring. An "E C Dub" chant breaks out. Tommy wastes no time and quickly hits his Death Valley Driver finisher. Justice cuts off Luchasaurus's head as Tommy pins Pindar.

Winner: Tommy Dreamer and Dick Justice by pinfall (3 stars)


An upset Kobra Moon grabs a microphone and enters the ring.

Kobra Moon: You two did not win fairly. You used weapons and pinned the wrong man as Pindar was not the legal man for our team. But none the less, I will keep my word. Look to the jumbotron.

The jumbotron turns on and it shows The Sandman and Val Venis tied up and gagged in the boiler room.

Kobra Moon: There they are. Those pathetic men are in the bowels of the arena. Go and free them if you wish.

At that Tommy and Dick run off to free the men.


In a back hallway full of equipment Joey Styles is talking to one of the production crew when the two men in tie-dye shirts and denim overalls come walking up.

Joey Styles: Um, can I help you with something?

The taller of the two and the one not wearing a mask speaks.

Dudley Dudley: My name is Dudley Dudley. This here is one of my many brothers, Deadpool Dudley. He is a lucha door. Lucha is Spanish for "walks into". It is because they wear masks, and their vision is not good that they walk into doors a lot.

Joey Styles: That, ah, is not what that means.

Dudley Dudley: Sure, it is. Let me show you. (He holds up three fingers to his brother) Am I holding up three fingers?

Deadpool Dudley: Si.

Dudley Dudley: I told you. He said he can't see.

Joey Styles: That is not...never mind. Why are you here?

Dudley Dudley: Me and my brothers are gonna try our hands in this here rasslin racket. We are the first to arrive. More will be coming later.

Joey Styles: Well, you do have a decent build to be a wrestler.

Dudley Dudley: Shoot that is nothing. You should see Dick. Here let me reach in my overalls and show you.

Joey Styles: NO!

After putting his hand in his overalls Dudley Dudley pulls out a Polaroid picture and shows it to Joey.

Dudley Dudley: That there is my brother Big Dick Dudley.

Joey Styles: Looks at the size of him. He is huge.

Dudley Dudley: Why thank you. He has the biggest arms of all the Dudleys. So, who do we have to talk to about getting signed up.

Joey Styles: Ah, follow me and I will take you to him.

He walks off with the two Dudleys following him.


The Sheik & Sabu vs Masked Madness w/Sir Oliver Humperdink

A short but exciting match. Sabu swiped at The Grappler's feet at the start getting him to the mat. Sabu then tried a piledriver but The Grappler overpowered him with a back body drop. The Grappler could not follow up and soon Sabu was attacking him. An Air Sabu led to a cover and kick out. Sabu tagged in The Sheik then went over and slugged The Spoiler. With the referee focused on Sabu and The Spoiler he missed The Sheik enter the ring and hit The Grappler with a Fireball. However, with the ref distracted it took him a bit to realize The Sheik was making a cover. When he finally started the count, The Grappler was able to get his shoulder up.

The Grappler fought hard against The Sheik until he could make a tag. The Grappler came in but he did not fair much better. The Sheik yanked control for his team and then tagged his nephew back in. Sabu wore The Grappler down. Then The Sheik handed him a chair and Sabu hit an Arabian facebuster using the chair. He covered and gained the win for his team.

Winner: The Sheik & Sabu via pinfall (2 stars)


Standing in the interview area is 2 Cold Scorpio.

2 Cold Scorpio: I am back ha ha and I want some gold around my waist. I am challenging that keyboard warrior, Sami Calihan, for a match for the ECW TV Championship. So, get on your little keyboard, type up an email (mocks a typing motion) and send it to Tod Gordon saying you accept my challenge. See you soon...chump.


The camera in back shows Tommy Dreamer and Dick Justice finding The Sandman and Val Venis then untying them. The Sandman look pissed off.

The Sandman: Yo, Kobra Moon. Payback is a bitch...just like you.


Shane Douglas w/Francine vs Samoa Joe in an ECW World Heavyweight Championship match

The first few minutes saw both men try and find their footing so they could work toward victory. Samoa Joe was the first to do so. He motioned that he was going to end the match and hit a belly to belly suplex, one of Shane's finishers, and made the cover but Shane kicked out. Later Joe hit the move a couple more times as if a figurative slap in the champ's face. Then Joe put Douglas in his Coquina Clutch finisher. Douglas was in pain and came close to tapping a couple times, but he finally was able to move around and get his foot on the rope for a break.

This is when Francine got on the apron and asked the referee for help. She pointed out that her very tight dress had come unzipped and she needed help zipping it so she did not have a wardrobe malfunction. Joey Styles had the production truck show a replay of Francine pulling the zipper down on purpose. As the referee helped and she flirted with him to keep his attention The Pit Bulls ran down and attacked Samoa Joe. Then they hit an incredible Super Power Bomb on him. That showed the power of Pit Bull #2. They pulled Shane and layed him on Joe. The referee finished zipping Francine up and instead of thanking him she yelled at him to turn around and make the count. By the time he got down there, and considering Shane was still catching his breath, Joe kicked out at one. Shane Douglas went on the attack and a minute later he used his Belly To Belly Suplex finisher and pinned Samoa Joe.

Winner: Shane Douglas by pinfall to retain (3 stars)


The World champion celebrates in the ring with Francine and The Pit Bulls. All while the fans boo them.

April Week 4, Year 2



WWF Raw


As Raw comes on the air we see Bobby Heenan is wearing a sling on his left arm.


Gorilla Monsoon: Welcome to WWF Raw. We have a great show for you folks tonight but first, Bobby, I see your arm in a sling. Were you in a car accident? Or is this just a tennis injury?

Bobby Heenan: What are you talking about Monsoon? Did you not watch the main event on last week's Raw? You were the announcer, so I hope you watched. I was attacked by that mountain sized man, Andre the Giant. He brutally attacked me. I am lucky a sling is all I need. Shows how tough and manly I am.

Gorilla Monsoon: What are you talking about? Yes, I did see him stomp on your foot. Your foot. So, why the sling?

Bobby Heenan: Where did you go to school, Monsoon? Did then not teach you biology? The foot bone is connected to the shin bone. The shin bone is connected to the leg bone.

Gorilla Monsoon: Give me a break, Heenan. Let me cut you off before you sing the whole song. Are you trying to tell me Andre stomped on your foot, and it caused your arm to be put in a sling?

Bobby Heenan: Exactly! That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Gorilla Monsoon: Oh boy. You are too much. Let's go to the ring for our opening match.


Kid Lykos vs Matt Sydal

A high-flying match that saw Matt start to get the better of the exchanges. He hit a Shooting Sydal Press and made the pin. A fun match that got the crowd into it.

Winner: Matt Sydal by pinfall (2 stars)


An announcement that Killshot will be defending the WWF Light Heavyweight Championship at the Backlash PPV. His opponent will be a surprise, but he is someone not in WWF currently.


Kurt Angle vs Kikutaro w/Giant Bernard and King Kong Bundy

As expected, Angle took control at the start of the match. He put Kikutaro in a front facelock. Kikutaro countered by putting a finger in Angle's armpit and tickling him. Then in a surprise Kikutaro got rolling and had the Olympic gold medalist on his heels. At one point Kikutaro tossed Angle out to the floor. Then he distracted the referee by dancing in the ring. As that happened Giant Bernard and King Kong Bundy put boots to Angle before tossing him back into the ring. A Shining Kikuzard and cover almost got Kikutaro the win but Angle kicked out at 2 1/2. Kikutaro kept going strong. He tossed Angle out of the ring again and as Bernard and Bundy held Angle on the floor Kikutaro ran the ropes in the ring, bouncing off the opposite ropes half a dozen times each, before diving thru the ropes and crashing into Angle. It took Kikutaro a bit to recover himself before taking the action back to the ring. He performed a second Shining Kikuzard but this time when he went for the pin Angle kicked out at one. It looked like Angle was getting fired up. He had enough. The next couple minutes saw momentum go back-and-forth before Angle really took the fight to Kikutaro. He hit an Olympic Slam and made the pin.

Winner: Kurt Angle via pinfall (3 stars)


Just when it looked like Angle might do more damage to Kikutaro, Giant Bernard and King Kong Bundy enter the ring. Seeing them Angle thinks better of it and backs up to leave the ring. The two large men check on their little buddy.


Buddy Rogers vs "Mr. Wonderful" Paul Orndoff

The youngster took his time getting down to the ring as an impatient Buddy waited in the ring. Paul was wearing a fancy robe and slowly took it off. Buddy stared at him with disdain in his eyes. Once the match started Buddy went after Paul with a fury. After a series of dropkicks he tried a pin but Paul kicked out. Then Buddy applied his finisher, Figure Four Grapevine, and before long Paul had to tap. Buddy did not break the hold right away. He kept it locked on till the referee threatened to disqualify him.

Winner: Buddy Rogers by submission (1 star)


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

- Killshot vs TBA in a WWF Light Heavyweight Championship match


Gorilla Monsoon: It is time for our main event. This is going to be a wild match.

Bobby Heenan: They will need a special referee to control the action. Who did they assign this match?

Gorilla Monsoon: James Beard.

Bobby Heenan: Oh boy. He will let things go. I bet things get out of control early.


AMW vs The Invaders in a non-title match

"Wildcat" Chris Harris and "Dr. Death" Steve WIlliams started the match and after a minute Harris tagged "Tennessee Cowboy" James Storm and they performed a double Flapjack. From there the next few minutes of the match saw the Storm and Williams battle trying to gain an advantage over the other. Finally Williams tagged out to "Bamm Bamm" Terry Gordy. He was able get things going for his team. A Bamm Bamm slam led to a two count. He followed that up with a Power Bomb. Chris Harris came in and stomped on Gordy to break the cover. Gordy tagged Williams back in. After a Doctor Bomb, Williams rocked Storm with an Oklahoma Stampede. Once again Harris came in to try and stop the cover but he was cut off by Gordy. The referee made the count, and The Invaders had an impressive victory.

Winner: The Invaders via pinfall (3 stars)


Terry Gordy used the Oriental Spike on Chris Harris. It took several security personal to finally pull him off. It looked like Chris Harris was in bad shape and he needed help getting to the back.




WCW Nitro


Tony Schiavone: This is WCW Nitro, the best wrestling show on TV.

Larry Zbyszko: That is true, and it is because of me, Tony. You're welcome.

Tony Schiavone: I am not even going to address that. What I will do however is tell our viewers about some of the matches on the show tonight. The Rock-n-Roll Express will try and get back to their winning ways when they face Reno Scum. Danny Spivey will get ready for The Varsity Club's match against Vader at Spring Stampede as he faces off with Doug Gilbert. BG James battles an old foe in Ivan Koloff.

A rotating hand wave from Larry is what Tony gets in response.

Tony Schiavone: Let's go to the ring.


BG James w/Kip James and Chyna vs Ivan Koloff w/Nikita Koloff

BG James started hot, but Ivan's power let him take control. At one point out on the floor Chyna and Nikita almost got into it. He was yelling at her as she stood silently a foot or two from him. Kip came over and got between them. He asked her to back up and told Nikita to watch himself. In the ring Ivan kept beating on BG James. Ivan tossed him out to the floor then got in the referee's face. That allowed Nikita to get in some cheap shots. That brought Kip over and he and Nikita got into a pushing match. Chyna tried to get her hands on Nikita but officials came out and got in her way. Meanwhile BG was taking too long to get back in the ring and he ended up getting counted out.

Winner: Ivan Koloff via count out (2 stars)


It is bedlam ringside as officials are trying to keep Nikita Koloff separated from Kip James and Chyna. Then Ivan comes out and it gets a bit crazier before order is restored.


In a room somewhere in back James E Cornette is talking to the Powers of Pain. He tells them they failed him in the past by he will forget all of that if they put the Good Brothers out of commission tonight.


Rock-n-Roll Express vs Reno Scum

An amazing tag team match. It started off in a shocking way with Reno Scum doing double team moves as they worked Ricky Morton. They were performing the way fans are used to seeing Rock-n-Roll Express do it. It took a couple tries but Ricky was finally able to tag out. As the match went on both teams made pin attempts and the Rock-n-Roll Express started to get in their double teaming moves. The end finally came when Ricky Morton tagged Robert Gibson and they hit their Double Dropkick finisher on Adam Thornstowe. Robert made the cover as Ricky went over and hit a forearm on Luster the Legend to keep him from getting involved.

Winner: Rock-n-Roll Express by pinfall (4 stars)

ECW Chaos


Joey Styles: I am Joey Styles, and you are watching ECW Chaos. We have a TV title match in our main event as Sami Callihan defends against 2 Cold Scorpio. Before that the World Tag Team Champions, Motor City Machine Guns, will be in action in a non-title match against the East Coast Connection. Ken Shamrock, hot off his hybred win over Rocky Kernodle, a favorite of the ECW fans, is challenging Ken to a standard wrestling match. Seems old Ken is not happy how fans reacted to his recent win so he wants to show them he can beat Rocky in a wrestling match as well. In our first match of the night we will see the in ring debut of the Dudleys. Dudley Dudley and Deadpool Dudley will face the LWO. That should be quite the interesting match. Assuming the Dudleys can find their way to the ring.


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


Dudley Dudley & Deadpool Dudley vs LWO (Rush and Bandido) w/Super Crazy

Both Dudleys are still in the ring when the opening bell rings. The referee tells them one has to get on the apron. Both men want to start the match and are having a heated discussion about it. Then Dudley Dudley motions for them to go to the floor. As the two men continue their discussion Rush tells the ref to start to count them out. He does as the match has officially started. The Dudleys finally decide on doing rock, paper, scissors to decide who starts the match. They keep throwing the same thing till finally Deadpool Dudley throws rock while Dudley Dudley throws scissors. Reluctently Dudley Dudley motions for his brother to start the match. Unfortunatley for them, the referee's count had gotten to ten and he called for the bell.

Winner: LWO via count out (1 star)


Deadpool Dudley is down in the dumps about losing the match. Dudley Dudley enters the ring and tries to cheer him up. He does the "pull my thumb off" magic trick. Then he starts clapping his hands and stomping his feet. That seems to do the trick as Deadpool joins in and starts dancing. The men lock arms and twirl around in the ring. Then they release the hold and Deadpool does a breakdance spin as fans cheer.


Ken Shamrock vs Rocky Kernodle

The fans chanted "Rocky" as he came out. Then Ken came out and he was visibly upset that the fans were chanting for his opponent. Once the bell rang to start the match Ken was all over Rocky. He brutalized him for a couple minutes then tried a pin after a powerful body slam. When that did not work Ken seemed to snap and applied his Ankle Lock finisher. Rocky yelled in pain and quickly tapped.

Winner: Ken Shamrock by submission (1 star)


When Ken went to leave the ring, fans started another "Rocky" chant. That enraged Ken so he went back and put Rocky in the Ankle Lock again. Some wrestlers and officials poured out from back and entered the ring to get Ken to release the hold. It took them almost a minute but finally they got him off Rocky. Ken shoved some of them then left the ring and stormed off to the back. Meanwhile officials checked on Rocky and he needed help to leave the ring area as he favored his leg which was obviously injured.


Joey Styles: This next match has me confused. The self-proclaimed "Prince of Darkness" Kevin Sullivan got a match for one of his many tag teams, East Coast Connection in this case, against the World Tag Team Champions, Motor City Machine Guns, but he asks that it be a NON-title match. What gives? Why not have it be a tag title match? What is going on in the crazed head of Sullivan's? You know what, maybe it is best if I don't know.


MCMG vs East Coast Connection in a non-title match

An entertaining tag match that saw the action go at a quick pace as both teams went on offensive runs. MCMG had Adrian Adonis in trouble after a few minutes. Chris Sabin hit a Cradle Shock but Adonis kicked out in time. Then the champs performed Made In Detroit and as Alex Shelley made the cover Eddie Edwards ran in and attacked him. That brought Chris back into the ring and it was pure insanity for a while. Finally Chris was tossed out of the ring and Adrian applied Goodnight Irene on Alex. When Alex was able to grab the top rope to get a break Adrian tagged Eddie in. After a bit Eddie rocked Alex with his Die Hard finisher. When that did not do the job Eddie hit it again. Chris tried to make the save but Adrian tackled him as the referee counted to three.

Winner: East Coast Connection via pinfall


Joey Styles: Well, looks like Kevin Sullivan did it to himself. He cost him and his team the chance to be World Champions. I would think he would ask for a rematch but with the titles on the line next time.


Cheeseburger is in Tod Gordon's office asking for a match against any member of LWO. He has not forgotten what they did to him. Gordon tells Cheeseburger he is not ready to take them on yet. He needs a bit more experience.


Sami Callihan vs 2 Cold Scorpio in an ECW TV Championship match

Unlike the previous match, the title was on the line in this one. The champ knew that and he came out hitting on all cylinders. But he could not keep it going and 2 Cold Scorpio started rocking. He hit an impressive looking Tumbleweed and made the pin to become the new TV Champion.

Winner: 2 Cold Scorpio by pinfall to win the title


The new champ celebrated by dancing and laughing in the ring. He admired his belt and showed it off to the fans.

Spring Stampede - WCW


After the hype video we are live with Tony Schiavone and Larry Zbyszko.

Tony Schiavone: Welcome to WCW's Spring Stampede. I am Tony Schiavone, and I am joined by Larry Zbyszko. You are going to see some great matches tonight.

Larry Zbyszko: That is right my friend. We will crown the inaugural, that means the first, United States Tag Team Champions. It will be Midnight Express of the Four Horsemen, and my pick to win, taking on The James Gang. Big Van Vader will face both members of The Varsity Club in a 2 0n 1 handicap match. DJ Z defends the Cruiserweight Championship against fellow Sweet 'n' Sour International member Juventud Guerrera. In another title bout the World Tag Team Champions the Road Warriors square off with The Russians. We also have a match just added yesterday as Four Horsemen member Moose does battle with American Bullet Club member Adam Cole. Then in our main event it will be WCW World Heavyweight Champion and leader of the Four Horsemen, Bryan Danielson, going up against leader of the ABC, the Phenomenal One, AJ Styles.

Tony Schiavone: That should be an awesome one. Heck, the whole card is gold. Let's stop talking about it and go to the ring for our first match.


DJ Z w/Larry Sweeney vs Juventud Guerrera in a WCW Cruiserweight Championship match

This was supposed to be an exciting, high-flying match to set the tone. It did not turn out that way. It was a lopsided match as the champ simply dominated Juvi. After a couple minutes and a couple unsuccessful pin attempts DJ Z finally put Juvi away with a ZDT.

Winner: DJ Z via pinfall to retain (1 star)


Once the match had ended Eli Everfly and Larry Sweeney entered the ring. Larry stood leaning against a turnbuckle as Eli went over and started stomping on Juvi. DJ Z joined in and the two men worked Juvi over for a minute or so. Then they left him laying on the mat and exited the ring. Larry slowly walked over, stood over Juvi and just shook his head while wearing a look of disappointment on his face. He then turned around, exited the ring and led his two men into the back.

Tony Schiavone: Well, it looks like Sweet 'n' Sour International just downsized.


Adam Cole vs Moose w/Ric Flair

Sadly, another match that fell flat. After a bit of a struggle to gain control in the opening moments Moose got rolling. After only a minute into the match Moose rocked Adam with a Spear but Adam kicked out. Moose quickly got to his feet and once Adam did Moose leveled him with a Pounce. He lifted Adam to his feet and put him down with a short-arm clothesline and went for the pin. When it didn't work Moose got up and set his sights on Adam. Then it was a second Spear. That was enough to get the job done.

Winner: Moose by pinfall (1 star)


A very happy Flair is dancing and strutting as he leads Moose into the back.


A video looking at tournament to crown the first U.S. Tag Team Champions all leading to the next match.


Midnight Express w/James E Cornette vs The James Gang w/Chyna in the U.S. Tag Team Championship Tournament Final

A more competitive match than the first two. Bobby Eaton and B.G. James kicked off this important match. Momentum went from one man to the other. B.G. was the first to tag out. Kip came in and got a bit of offense going for a short time then the match bogged down to counters. Bobby tagged out and over a half a minute they performed their drop toehold & elbow double teaming a pair of times. Stan made one pin attempt with no success. Bobby Eaton nailed Kip with a slingshot backbreaker and went for the cover. B.G. tried to stop the count but was cut off by Stan. The referee counted to three and we have our inaugral United States Tag Team Champions.

Winner: Midnight Express via pinfall to win the titles (2 stars)


Larry Zbyszko: Not only are the Midnight Express the first U.S. Tag Team Champions but they become the first team to hold both the WCW World and U.S. titles. Congratulations. It is well deserved. Jimmy has his team working like a well-oiled machine.

Tony Schiavone: I believe he prefers James.

Larry Zbyszko: That is for the little people like you. For friends like me he is fine with being called Jimmy.


Big Van Vader vs The Varsity Club in a 2 on 1 Handicap match

Big Van Vader was like a riled-up bull as he waited for the match to start. He let his temper get the better of him. He choked Mike and as the referee reprimended him it allowed Mike to get in some offense. A bit later Vader tried to choke Danny and again the ref told him to stop and when he did and looked at the ref Danny was able to coldcock him. It took a bit for The Varisty Club to take control but they were able to thanks to the numbers advantage. They made sure to use frequent tags to stay fresh. Mike Rotunda was the first to try a cover after a flying clothesline. A bit later "Golden Boy" Danny Spivey tried a cover after a power slam. As Vader was being dominated for some reason Brad Armstrong came out from back and walked down to ring side.

Brad went to the opposite side of The Varsity Club's corner. He was slapping the apron and trying to encourage Vader. After more offense from The Varsity Club, Mike Rotunda used his finisher, Butterfly Suplex. He tried to pin Vader but the big man kicked out. Mike tagged Danny back in. Danny grabbed Vader and tossed him thru the ropes onto the floor. Brad came over and seemed he was trying to help Vader to his feet when he suddenly flung Vader into the ring stairs as the referee was distracted by Danny. Brad attacked Vader some more before throwing him back into the ring. Tony wondered why Brad attacked Vader. Danny quickly hit his Bulldog finisher on Vader but when he went for the cover Vader kicked out once again.

It looked like Vader had been busted open. Likely from going into the ring stairs. Mike came back in the ring and suddenly Vader started to fight back. The more he fought back the more the fans cheered. He grabbed Mike and hit a Released Power Bomb. Vader tried to get the pin but he was weakened from the abuse he took and Mike kicked out. After a Samoan Drop Big Van Vader set Mike up and hit a Vader Bomb. Before the referee could complete a count both Danny and Brad entered the ring and jumped Vader like a pack of wild dogs. The referee called for the bell to end the match.

Winner: Big Van Vader by disqualification (3 stars)


The Varsity Club with Brad Armstrong leave the ring and walk off toward the back. All three men seem very pleased with themselves.


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

The champions rushed the ring and brawled with The Russians. They won and Animal started in control of Nikita Koloff. The two men went back-and-forth slugging it out. Animal took the breath out Nikita with an overhead bodyslam. A bit later it was a Power Slam and pin attempt but Nikita kicked out. Animal tagged Hawk in. Hawk kept rolling and used a running clothesline. He went for the cover but only got a two count. A bit later Hawk tired a boot to Nikita's face. Nikita ducked and went over to tag his uncle in. Ivan took the fight to Hawk causing Hawk to make the desperate hot tag to Animal. Over the next couple minutes The Russians started to wear Animal down. Nikita tagged Ivan and they destroyed Animal with an Elevated Russian Sickle. Nikita stood guard as Ivan made the pin.

Winner: The Russians via pinfall to win the titles


Tony Schiavone: A tough loss for the Warriors but I am sure they will be gunning for The Russians and their titles sooner rather than later.


Bryan Danielson w/Ric Flair vs AJ Styles in a WCW World Heavyweight Championship match

The two men and former friends locked up. AJ Styles was the first to gain control. He used a discus lariat and Pele Kick to rock Bryan Danielson. After an early Spinal Tap it was a Phenomenal DDT and a cover. The champ kicked out. As Styles kept going Ric Flair jumped onto the apron. AJ came over and grabbed his former manager. He threatened to punch Flair when Danielson attacked him from behind. Danielson was able to get in some offense before AJ took control back. He hit a Styles Clash but Danielson was able to kick out right before the three. AJ decided to take away one of Danielson's assets, his strong legs. AJ applied a Calf Killer. Then AJ proped Bryan onto his shoulders and started to climb in a corner. For a bit Bryan tried to fight AJ off but with no luck. AJ then came off the top rope and hit a burning hammer on Bryan. AJ crawled over and covered Bryan. The referee counted one and then two. Before he could finish his count Ric Flair, who had slid into the ring with a chair. blasted AJ Styles with the chair. He repeated it a couple more times and the referee had seen enough.

Winner: AJ Styles by disqualification, Bryan Danielson retains (2 stars)


After the bell Ric Flair quickly grabbed the World title belt, motioned for Bryan to get out of the ring and then the two ran off into the back like a pair of thieves into the night. Meanwhile AJ Styles slowly recovered in the ring. He finally gets to his feet and is about to leave the ring when the Bullet Club music plays but it is not the other members of American Bullet Club that come out. Four men make their way out to the stage.

Larry Zbyszko: Who are these guys?

Tony Schiavone: I recognize them. Those are the four core members of the main Bullet Club over in New Japan Pro Wrestling. That is the leader Prince Devitt, his right hand man "The Cleaner" Kenny Omega and brothers Matt and Nick Jackson, the tag team of the Young Bucks. But why are they here? We will have to wait to Nitro to find out as we are out of time. Thank you for watching WCW Spring Stampede and we will see you on Nitro.

AJ stands in the ring staring at Prince Devitt and the Bullet Club while they stare back as the PPV ends.

May Week 1, Year 2



WWF Raw


Gorilla Monsoon: Hello and welcome to WWF Raw. Simply the best wrestling on the planet. I am joined by the wounded Bobby Heenan. How is the arm, Bobby?

Bobby Heenan: Thanks for asking. It is something I have to deal with but knowing I am managing the Intercontinental Champion, Rick Rude, helps with some of the pain.

Gorilla Monsoon: Well, that is good to hear. We have some great wrestling action tonight. King Kong Bundy takes on Don "The Rock" Muraco, Killer Kowalski faces former I-C Champion "Superfly" Jimmy Snuka in a matchup of Hart Foundation member and nWa member, Hollywood Blonds of the Hart Foundation take on the red hot team of The Moondogs and finally in our main event Antonio Inoki goes to battle with "Macho Man" Randy Savage. Savage thinks he should be facing Bret Hart at the Backlash PPV for the WWF World title.

Bobby Heenan: He might have a point.

Gorilla Monsoon: What? Give me a break. Did you get a concussion when Andre stomped on your foot?

Bobby Heenan: What? No. Leave me alone, Gorilla.

Gorilla Monsoon: That is fine Bobby as it is time for our first match of the night.


King Kong Bundy w/Kikutaro and Giant Bernard vs Don "The Rock" Muraco

Both men made mistakes in the opening moments as Bundy tried more agility specific moves and Muraco tried power moves. Finally Bundy went back to his power advantage and started to roll. He had Muraco in a bears hug and it looked like Muraco would fade but at the last moment he raised his arm before it fell for a third time. Bundy released the hold and hit some elbow drops. Then it was his finisher, Atlantic City Avalanche. The ref counted to three and Kikutaro and Giant Bernard started to celebrate on the floor. But Bundy yelled at the referee before he could call for the bell. Bundy held up five fingers and the ref could not believe it. But he went to the mat and finished the five count. Then he called for the bell.

Winner: King Kong Bundy by pinfall (2 stars)


Kikutaro, holding a bucket of chicken, and Giant Bernard enter the ring and celebrate with Bundy. Each man eating a piece of chicken. Bundy tears into his which seems to surprise Kikutaro.


Gorilla Monsoon: Our next match sees a member of the Hart Foundation taking on a member of the nWa in the ongoing battle of the two factions.


Killer Kowalski vs "Superfly" Jimmy Snuka

A short match that saw Killer simply dominate the former I-C champ. After a backbreaker Kowalski went for the cover and Snuka kicked out at 2 1/2. Not long after a dropkick to Snuka ended his night.

Winner: Killer Kowalski via pinfall (1 star)


Gorilla Monsoon: Wow. That was less competitive than one would expect. An impressive win for the Hart Foundation. Let's go into the back where Mean Gene Okerlund is standing by with Gold Medalist, Kurt Angle.


In back Gene is standing with Angle.

Mean Gene: Thank you, Monsoon. I am here with Kurt Angle who asked for this time to get something off his chest. What is going on Mr. Angle?

Kurt Angle: Thank you, Gene. On last week's Raw I had a match against Kick You Two Or or whatever that goof's name is. I did some things that are not normal for your Olympic hero. I want to apologize. I know the fans expect more out of a great athlete like me. But come on. I came to the WWF to wrestle the best wrestlers in the world. Not a guy in a cheap Halloween costume. I mean it is only May. I deserve better competition than that. Hopefully I get it soon.

With that he walks off leaving Gene standing there.

Mean Gene: Um, thank you for that Mr. Angle. Back to you Monsoon and Heenan.


Bobby Heenan: Angle has a point there. Save the trick or treating for October.

Gorilla Monsoon: Give me a break, Heenan. Let's go to the ring for our next match.


Hollywood Blonds vs The Moondogs

"Flyin" Brian Pillman starts for his team as both Moondogs are still in the ring. The referee tells them one has to go stand on the apron in their corner. Then The Moondogs start barking and running around Pillman who is completely confused. Then Rex attacks Pillman with a backbreaker drop. The music for The Invaders plays and they come running down to the ringside area. "Stunning" Steve Austin jumps off the apron and takes them out with a cross body block. Meanwhile Rex covers Pillman and gets the pin in a shocking upset that was even shorter than the previous match.

Winner: The Moondogs by pinfall (1 star)


After The Invaders lay out Austin on the floor, they enter the ring and lay out Pillman. Officials come down and get The Invaders to stop the attack and return to the back.


Gorilla Monsoon: The Moondogs keep the amazing run they are on going. The win was impressive enough but to do it so quickly is something. Of course, having The Invaders come down to distract Austin did not help.
Bobby Heenan: That falls on Austin. The Invaders were coming down but it was Austin who got aggressive and attacked them. He cost his team a win. The nWa showing they are smarter than the Hart Foundation.

Gorilla Monsoon: Knock it off, Bobby. It sees The Invaders wanted to deal with the Hart Foundation but also send a message toward the WWF World Tag Team champions, America's Most Wanted. Speaking of the AMW, let's get an update on Chris Harris.

Bobby Heenan: I just hope The Moondogs are up to date on their shots, or the Blonds might have rabies.


Sitting in his office behind his desk is WWF President Jack Tunney.

Jack Tunney: I have to pass on the bad news the Chris Harris sustained injuries due to the attack he received at the hands of The Invaders. I have leveled severe fines on The Invaders. I was going to suspend them and take away their title shot at Backlash but James Storm talked me out of it. I will allow Storm to find a temporary replacement for Chris Harris while Harris recovers from his injuries. Once Harris is cleared to wrestle again he will be Storm's tag partner. Once Storm has picked someone to team with at the Backlash PPV we will let you fans know.


Gorilla Monsoon: Big news there. I wonder who James Storm will pick as his tag partner.

Bobby Heenan: Spuds MacKenzie?


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
- Killshot vs TBA in a WWF Light Heavyweight Championship match
- James Storm and TBD vs The Invaders in a WWF World Tag Team Championship match
- Midnight Rockers vs The Moondogs


Antonio Inoki w/Mr. Fuji vs "Macho Man" Randy Savage

Savage wanted to prove he deserved the WWF World Championship title shot. He was all over Anotnio from the opening bell. But he made one mistake and Antonio jumped all over it. He put the "Macho Man" into the sleeper and just when it looked like he would go to sleep he forced Antonio back into the corner to get Antonio to release the hold. Inoki followed up with his Enzuigiri finisher and went for the cover. He almost got it but they were too close to the ropes and Savage got his leg on it for the pin break. It did not deter Antonio as he used bow and arrow, an Octopus Hold and another sleeper to wear Savage down. In fact, it was that second sleeper that did Savage in as his eyes closed and his arm fell three times after the referee lifted it and let it go.

Winner: Antonio Inoki via sleeper/submission (2 stars)


Gorilla Monsoon: Well, that should end Savage's calls for being in the title shot. Inoki has shown he really is the top contender. We are just about done tonight. Make sure to join us next week for the final Raw before the Backlash PPV.

WWF President Jack Tunney walks in.

Jack Tunney: Sorry to interrupt you Monsoon but I have an announcement to make before we end Raw. On the next Raw we will have a contract signing for a match between Intercontinental Champion Rick Rude and his opponent at Backlash, Mark Henry.

Bobby Heenan: Wait. WHAT? No way. No way. I was not informed of this. I need time to prepare my man for a title match.

Jack Tunney: You were just informed, and you have plenty of time to prepare him. See you in the ring next week, Bobby.

With that Jack Tunney says goodbye to both men and leave. Gorilla Monsoon returns the goodbye as Bobby Heenan tosses papers and rants. That is how Raw ends.




WCW Nitro


A video package covering highlights from Spring Stampede. We see Midnight Express winning the United States Tag Team Championship Tournament final to become the inaugral champions. There is The Russians defeating the Road Warriors to win the WCW World Tag Team Championship. Finally, AJ won in the main event but by DQ so Four Horsemen leader Byran Danielson remains the WCW World Heavyweight Champion. After the main even we saw the arrival of four Bullet Club members from the NJPW promotion. What brings them to WCW?

We then see video from earlier in the day. First a limo pulls up and the four members of the ABC exit and enter then arena. Not long after a stretch limo pulls up and the four members of the Bullet Club from NJPW get out and they go to enter the arena.


Tony Schiavone: This is WCW Nitro, the best wrestling show on TV. What a PPV Spring Stampede was. So much went down. Titles changed hands, a new championship gets its first champions and the arrival of Bullet Club members.

Larry Zbyszko: Tell me, Tony, why are the Bullet Club members here? It is not like they were just in the neighborhood. They wrestle in New Japan and Japan is a long flight from the US.

Tony Schiavone: I do not know, Larry. Hopefully we will find out tonight. For now we have to go to the ring for our opening bout. We will see the debut of the father and son combo of the Beyers. Dick, the father, and Kurt. They will face the brother due of The Mulkeys.

Larry Zbyszko: Wrestling in WCW sure is becoming a family affair lately.

Tony Schiavone: You said it, Larry.


Dick & Kurt Beyer vs The Mulkeys

Kurt started for his team against Randy Mulkey. Randy offered his hand for a shake. Kurt was not sure about it and made the mistake of looking toward his dad for some advice. Randy took advantage of this and hit an arm drag. He was not able to build on this and soon Kurt was in control. He was embarrassed in front of his dad and started to take it out on Randy. After a pair of slingshot planchas Kurt tagged his dad in. Dick Beyer was working Randy over and sensing he was in trouble Randy made the desperate tag to his brother. Bill came in and got in a couple moves before trying a running tackle, something Dick is great at. Dick avoided it and went to work. After an impressive airplane spin Dick went for the cover but Bill found a way to kick out. A minute later Dick used his Handstand Knee Drops finisher and was able to pin Bill.

Winner: Dick & Kurt Beyer via pinfall (2 stars)


The tag team of Varsity Club are in a back hallway talking when Brad Armstrong walks up. He is wearing a varsity jacket like theirs. His has the initials "SHK" on the front.

Mike Rotonda: Hey, there he is. How ya like your jacket?

Brad Armstrong: I love it. I really appreciate it guys.

Dan Spivey: Well, you earned it bro. Turn around so we can see the back.

Brad does turn around and on the back of the jacket it reads "School of Hard Knocks".


As "Bullet" Bob Armstrong waits in the ring for the start of his match his opponent, P.N. News comes out with his 3 Live Dance Crew teammates. As News raps the other two dance their way down to ringside.


P.N. News w/3 Live Dance Crew vs "Bullet" Bob Armstrong

A decent match that saw momentum go back and forth. Disco and Zicky kept trying to distract Bob and it helped P.N News. He finally was able to pick up the pin after a Broken Record.

Winner: P.N. News by pinfall (2 stars)


After the match Disco and Zicky joined P.N. News. in the ring. As their music plays, they start dancing and "accidently" stomp on Bob with their dance moves.


In one of the best suites in the arena the four members of ABC and the four members of BC who arrived at Spring Stampede sit around and are talking.

AJ Styles: It has been great catching up with you boys, but you still have not told us what you are doing here.

Prince Devitt: Well, to be honest I have been concerned on how this branch of the Club has been doing. You guys seem a bit off your game and not dominating like you should be. The main event of Spring Stampede is just one sign of it. The Four Horsemen have been getting the better of you. They have a bunch of gold but when I look around I do not see any gold in the ABC. It is time for that to change. I got Adam Cole a match vs Moose in tonight's main event. Moose will have Flair in his corner so Cole will not go out alone. Kenny Omega will be in his corner.

Kenny Omega: Do not worry kid. I will make sure you get the win tonight.

A big smile on his face as the members of ABC look at each other with an expression of concern.


Drew Galloway vs Mike Graham

This was a squash. Drew had a large size and power advantage which he took full advantage of. A couple minutes into the match Drew hit a Future Shock DDT and pinned Mike.

Winner: Drew Galloway via pinfall (1 star)


Big Van Vader is in a poorly lit, grungy gym pumping iron. The expression on his face tells a story of how he is in a very, very foul mood.


Moose w/Ric Flair vs Adam Cole w/Kenny Omega

At the start of the match Adam Cole did his "Adam Cole, baby" thing and Moose took advantage of it with a scoop slam. Kenny Omega did not look pleased that Cole ignored his opponent to put himself over with the fans. Moose was rolling for several minutes. He was overpowering Cole and suddenly Cole countered and unleashed some quick offense. Before Moose knew what was happening Cole hit Panama Sunrise and rolled him up for the pin.

Winner: Adam Cole by pinfall (2 stars)


After the bell "The Cleaner" Kenny Omega quickly rolls into the ring. He grabs Moose and hits a One Winged Angle on him. Flair is throwing a fit on the floor as Kenny Omega stands in the middle of the ring with one foot on Moose. Adam Cole sulks in a corner as the show ends.




ECW Chaos


Joey Styles: I am Joey Styles and you have tuned into ECW Chaos. The original extreme wrestling company. Do not accept cheap imitations.


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


Joey Styles: Tonight, we will see Val Venis and Sandman in action for the first time since they were released from the bonds of the Reptile Tribe. Also, The Prince of Darkness Kevin Sullivan sends another tag team against the ECW Tag Team Champions. Once again for some strange reason Kevin requested it be a non-title match. (He looks around) I still say there is something wrong with him. I mean, if he had the last match be a title match he would already have his hands on the titles. Who knows what is going on in his head. We also see the Dudleys in action. Dudley Dudley said they will discuss who starts the match BEFORE it begins. No repete of them being counted out without even using a hold or getting a hit in. (Shakes his head) I still cannot believe that happened and I saw it for myself. Those inbreed boys do not have a brain cell to share between them if you ask me. It is time to get the action started.


Val Venis vs Cheeseburger

Val Venis got the jump on Cheeseburger early on. But perhaps he was looking past Cheeseburger toward the opportunity to get his hands on Kobra Moon's Retile Tribe for some payback from being held captive. Because he hit an Irish whip and tried to follow up with knee smashes but Cheeseburger moved out of the way. Then Cheeseburger went to work and had Venis off his game thanks to a super DDT and an Ultra Huracanrana. Then it was Cheeseburger's turn to toss Venis into the corner. He came rushing in and nailed Val with a Shotei Palm Strike. After that he covered Val, and the referee counted to three. The young Cheeseburger picked up the first win of his career.

Winner: Cheeseburger by pinfall (2 stars)


As Dudley Dudley and DP Dudley make their way down to the ring the camera catches a man dressed up like a Dudley holding a pro Dudley sign while sitting ringside. DP Dudley stands on the apron in his team's corner as Dudley Dudley gets in the ring for the start of the match.


Dudley Dudley & Deadpool Dudley vs War Machine

Dudley Dudley and Hansen start for their teams. Dudley Dudley seems intimidated by Hansen's size and as Hansen moves toward him Dudley Dudley exits the ring to the floor. Hansen comes out after him and starts chasing Dudley Dudley around the ring. Meanwhile the referee starts to count them out. Hansen notices this and as the referee gets to eight he slides in the ring. Dudley Dudley does not realize this has happens and keeps running around the ring. DP Dudley tried to get to his attention to no avail. The referee got to the ten count and called for the bell. An easy win for War Machine. Even easier than they probally thought it would be. Dudley Dudley runs one more lap around the ring and then it hits him that the bell rang. He looks around and DP has to come over and explain to him what happened.

Winner: War Machine via count out (1 star)


A promo video from 2 Cold Scorpio. He is bragging about being the ECW TV Champion and how he has a match coming up for the NWA:TNA X Division title. Scorpio says when he wins the belt, he will have a new title...and a new name.


MCMG vs Southern Hostility in a non-title match

The champs were in trouble early on as the boys of Southern Hostility worked on Chris Sabin. Tracy Smothers hit a Jawjacker on Chris but Chris kicked out. Tracy then tagged "Wildfire" Tommy Rich in. A couple minutes later Chris was able to tag out. Alex Shelley worked Tommy and tagged Chris. The Guns used Thunder Express to rock Tommy. The action went back-and-forth for a few more minutes before the Motor City Machine Guns performed Made In Detroit on Tracy Smothers and Alex Shelley made the pin as Chris Sabin watched over him to make sure there was no pin save attempt.

Winner: MCMG by pinfall (2 stars)


After the match Tracy and Tommy get in a heated exchange with each other. They end up shoving each other and throwing some fisticuffs. An ECW official comes down, enters the ring and tries to get them to stop fighting. Both men look at the official and lay him out with a punch. Then Tracy and Tommy stare at each other then start laughing. Tracy makes a motion of drinking a beer and motions with his head toward the back. Tommy smiles and nods his head in agreement. Both men exit the ring and head into the back looking like the best of friends.


Sandman vs Rohit Raju

Sandman, like Val Venis, was looking to get out some frustration over being held hostage and he was going to do it on Raju. For the first couple minutes that is what he did. Then Raju fought back and ended up hitting a Mumbai Drive-By but only got a two count. Sandman fought back and took Raju to the extreme. He hit a White Russian Leg Sweep. He used his Singapore Cane on Raju and after several hard shots he tried to pin Raju but again Raju kicked out. Raju was showing welts on his back as Sandman went to the floor and retrieved a chair. Back in the ring Sandman laid the chair down and hit Raju with a DDT onto the chair. Another pin attempt but again Raju found a way to kick out.

Then Kobra Moon came down and got on the apron. As she distracted the referee Luchasaures and Pindar ran down and attacked Sandman. After they laid him out they exited the ring. Raju, having had time to recover, gets up and takes Sandman out with a Mumbai Drive-By but this time it was Sandman who was able to find a way to kick out. Raju kept the pressure on and tried to win with a crossface to no avail. Finally Sandman started to fight back. Another DDT onto a chair led to Sandman grabbing his Singapore Cane and went wild on Raju. That finally was enough to put Raju away.

Winner: Sandman via pinfall (4 stars)


Luchasaures and Pindar try and get in the ring to attack Sandman once again once the match is over. But he keeps swinging his Singapore Cane. As Luchasaures finally slides in Sandman wails on him. Val Venis comes running out and pulls Pindar off the apron. As Sandman canes Luchasaures in the ring Val Venis is laying into Pindar on the floor. Security, officials and some wrestlers flow out from the back to try and regain control as Chaos goes off the air.
