Disengager

hey guys, I'm going to be pretty busy over the next 3 or 4 days, so I'm not sure when Nitro will get up. Also, I'm having a little bit of creative trouble, so perhaps a couple days away will do some good. So yeah, sorry about the lack of updates for the next couple days and whatnot.

Why be guilty of anything? Who are you trying to impress with your musical tastes? I listen to death/progressive metal mainly, I'd go so far as to call myself a book of progressive knowledge, but I still have people, like, oh say, avril lavigne and Christina aguilera on my pc that I listen to, and if anyone asks, I tell them I listen to everything from metal they've never heard of time pop like that. Hell, I even got 50/g-unit/banks/buck/eminem/ludacris/etc on my pc that I listen to way more then I probably should.

Point being, being embrassed to listen to something you like is ridiculous.

WCW THUNDER

Friday, March 17th, 2006

<=:=><=:=>Intro and Pyro<=:=><=:=>

Meltzer: "Hello everyone and welcome to Thunder! We have a great show in store tonight!"

1. Jimmy Jacobs vs Jody Fleisch

Jacobs comes out like a wildman with great energy as the crowd gets behind him. Fleisch out next and the crowd is silent for the most part. These two go back and forth for the opening of the match, exchanging blows and trademark moves, as Jacobs hit the yakuza kick early for a two and Fleisch fought back and on a springboard hurricanrana that got the crowd going. These two dazzled the crowd with an array of high flying maneuvers, lots of springboard moves like clotheslines, dropkicks and legdrops. Fleisch went for the Phoenix DDT, but Jacobs caught him with a dropkick and applied the camel clutch. The crowd started to get behind Jacobs, but Fleisch made it to to the ropes. Fleisch took control with a hiptoss and went up top, but missed on the triple jump moonsault which resulted in Jacobs getting to his feet and connecting on the contra code for the 1-2-3 pinfall victory. Jacobs celebrated in the ring to a small ovation after the match, while Fleisch sold the contra code.

WINNER: JIMMY JACOBS

<M:83% C:56% O:62% Jody Fleisch lost overness from this match. Jimmy Jacobs gained overness from this match. Jody Fleisch is losing overness because of his weak gimmick. >

2. He doesn't seem interested

We go backstage, and see Eugene reading a book, "wrestling for dummies." The crowd laughs as Eugene reads out loud about how to apply a full nelson. William Regal walks up.

Regal: "Ahh, studying up I see, atta boy Eugene. Good to see your shenanigans have stopped."

Eugene looks up and just goes back to reading the book, not paying much attention to William.

Regal: "What? Not even a hello? What's the matter with you Eugene, where's your manners?"

Eugene: "Hi."

Eugene says hi while still having his nose buried in the book.

Regal: "Listen Eugene, I talked to commissioner Foley, and he's going to give us a tag team title rematch on Nitro next week! Eugene, are you listening to me? .... Eugene.... EUGENE!"

Eugene: (unenthuised) "Ok William, we'll win the match."

Regal looks at Eugene funny before walking off, not making much of the situation, assuming Eugene's just really into the book. After Regal leaves, Eugene looks up with kind of an akward look on his face.

<0:80%>

3. Edge highlight package

A video plays featuring clips of the Edge vs Matt Hardy match from Clash of the Champions. We see numerous replays from different angles of Matt sidestepping the spear and Edge stumbling akwardly through the ropes and going through the table.

Meltzer: "Well folks, as you can see in the replay, Edge twisted in ankle anwardly when he went through the ropes there. We have learned that he's going to be about of action for about 6 weeks following that injury. Doctors are calling it a severe high ankle sprain, and you just, you never like to see injuries like that."

Heenan: "Meltzer, I'm surprised that's the only injury he had from that night, did you see some of those things Matt Hardy did to him in that cage? Matt's a beast, he shoulda been arrested following that mugging!"

<0:79%>

4. James Gibson vs Spanky

Spanky gets a split reaction from the crowd for his actions recently. It's apparent he's looking to rebound from his clash of the champions loss in this one, as Gibson comes out to a good response. Collar and elbow in the early going and Noble gains the upperhand as he goes to work with shots to Spanky that send Spanky into the corner. Gibson whips him into the other corner, but Spanky scales the ropes and jumps off with a moonsault onto a standing Gibson that gets a two count to take control of the matchup. Irish whip and a hiptoss by Spanky as he goes to work on the arm with an armringer. Gibson gets to his feet and fights back, going for a back suplex, but Spanky lands on his feet and dropkicks Gibson in the back, which sends him through the ropes to the outside. Spanky with a no hands plancha up and over the top rope onto Gibson as he takes firm control of the match. Irish whip into the stairs gets a bad reaction from the crowd. Spanky rolls him into the ring and makes the cover, but gets a two count and gets frustrated with the ref. Spanky picks up Gibson and irish whips him and puts his head down, Gibson with the kick to the chest and a back heel trip. Big legdrop by Gibson gets a two count as he starts to build steam. Irish whip and a bakc body drop by Gibson now and then he proceeds with a series of clotheslines. Spanky kicks him in the stomach and goes for sliced bread #2, but gibson delivers a back suplex and locks in the trailer hitch!! Spanky tries to get to the ropes, but Gibson pulls him back in the center of the ring and SPANKY TAPS! Gibson celebrates as Spanky grabs his knee in pain. After the match, Gibson helped Spanky to his feet and extended his hand in good sportsmanship. Spanky looked at him, and LOW BLOWED HIM! Spanky grabbed Gibson's head, SLICED BREAD #2 and the crowd is all over Spanky. Spanky smiles as he's left Gibson down and out in the center of the ring.

WINNER: JAMES GIBSON

<M:85% C:76% O:72% James Gibson gained overness from this match. Spanky's turn was completed, and he is now a heel. Spanky gained overness from this turn. >

5. An Example of things to come

We see Whiskey Marc, sitting in a dark room, smoking a cigarette while leaning sitting against a wall. He lights another cigarette and smokes it to, just to show how much of a badass he is.

Marc: "This last Monday, I made an example out of Booker T. I made him a martyr of the destruction that will come at the hands of me. You see, last Sunday, I would have won that battle royal, and I would have gotten my shot at the heavyweight title, but no, it took 3 men to team up to take me out of the contest, because they knew that none of them could do it alone. So this Monday, I took action, because I am SICK and I am TIRED of being discriminated against in this company. You see, not only do I have to deal with the people who claim that I'm too hardcore, I have to deal with another problem, and that problem is Comissioner Mick Foley. The way I see it, with Foley running the show, I'm not going to get so much as a tag team title shot, let alone a world title shot. But you know what, that's fine, If they want to discriminate, let them. But let's see them ignore me when I start taking out superstar after superstar after superstar and finally, there won't be anyone left for Chris Jericho to face BUT ME! "

Marc takes one of the cigarettes out of his mouth and puts it out on his arm. EWW.

6. Jersey Boyz vs Big Vito and Al Snow

Snow and Vito get boo'd from the crowd while the Jersey Boyz get a solid reaction. Kanyon takes the advantage in the early going on Vito with a series of armdrags and a bodyslam before making the tag to DDP. Double team vertical suplex gets a two count that Vito has to break up. DDP with an irish whip and a huge clothesline on Snow that gets another two count. DDP whips Snow into the corner, but snow does the little slide and responds with a clothesline and makes the tag to Vito. Vito comes in like a hoss as DDP makes the tag to Kanyon. Press slam by Vito and a boot to the face of DDP as Vito comes in with a head of steam. Irish whip and a huge powerslam gets a two count on Kanyon. Vito puts Kanyon in a bearhug and squeezes the life out of him. Kanyon fights back with right hands and a DDT to Vito before making the tag to DDP. Snow hits the ring illegally and DDP attacks him and throws him out of the ring. DDP turn around and runs into a huge sitout Choke bomb by Vito 1-2-Kanyon breaks it up. Kanyon with a baseball slide onto Snow and the two battle on the outside. In the ring, it looks like it's all but over for DDP, who can barely stand. Vito goes for an inverted atomic drop..DIAMOND CUTTER OUT OF NOWHERE!!! The fans go crazy as we see shades of a Former DDP, who musters up the stregnth to make the cover, getting the 1-2-3 victory in a surprise win that many would call an upset at this point in DDP's career. DDP and Kanyon celebrate their victory in the ring as the crowd cheers.

WINNERS: DDP and Kanyon

<M:82% C:73% O:69%>

7. A happy moment..

A video plays showing the entire video of Matt Hardy's proposal to Maria two days ago on Nitro. The fans cheer as the announcement comes up on the screen.

"Please join us for the wedding of Matt Hardy and Maria Kanellis in two and a half week, on Nitro!"

<0:61%>

8. Pardon the interruption

Backstage, we see Christian, standing by with Mean Gene

Mean Gene: "Christian, you were unsuccesful in your title match at Clash of the Champions, peep nation wants to know, what's next for you?"

Christian: "Perhaps I let peep nation down, that's alright, because I have much bigger plans. Colt Cabana and CM Punk, they can go have their little war or whatever, that's fine. It's time for Christian to move onto bigger and better things, it's time for Christian to get his hands on the gold of Chris Jericho! It's time for.."

Eddie Guerrero comes walking into the picture.

Eddie: "Excuse me vato, I don't mean to interrupt, but Christian, this is just *a little* more important then whatever you have to say to your "peep nation," so excuse me. So mean Gene, are you excited? In just a week and a half, a week and a half until I get to reveal the big surprise! And trust me, it's a big one Mean Gene, a really big one. I can.."

Christian: "Hold on one second, chumpstain. Eddie, this is my time, this is the peeps time. This isn't Eddie Guerrero announcement time. I don't care what your surprise is, whether it's you confessing your love for Konnan or announcing you're retirement, it just doesn't matter to me, or the peep nation, bitch!"

Eddie: "Hey Vato, are you calling me unimportant? Listen hombre, my suprise will be more important then ANYTHING someone like you has to say. Look at you, your a loser holmes, a CANADIAN loser!"

Christian attacks Eddie and the two scuffle backstage before road agents break it up as the two yell at one another as they're split up from one another. Interesting.

9. Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin vs Jack Evans and Austin Aries

Shelley and Sabin come out to a pretty good ovation, while the crowd boo's Aries and Evans, who come out with Stacy. It looks like it's going to be Sabin and Aries starting out, but Aries pulls the typical heel move, so instead of him, Evans will be starting out. Sabin absolutely dominates Evan with a huge spinebuster and a tilt a whirl back breaker before making the tag to Shelley. Shelley comes in and works over Evans before irish whipping him, flying wheel kick by Evans. Evans makes the tag to Aries, who comes in and dominates on Shelley, connecting on a german suplex with a bridge that gets a two count and a double underhook backbreaker.

11. Juventud Guerrera vs Low-Ki©, Pure Title Match

Juvi comes out without his fellow stablemates by his side, which is defintitely interesting. Low-Ki out next and he gets a phenominal response from the crowd. Bell sounds and Juvi charges towards Ki, Ki goes behind Juvi and applies a headlock. Juvi sends him off into the ropes, Shoulder tackle by Ki sends Juvi down.

- RATINGS -

Primetime:

WWE - 6.07

WCW - 5.70

ECW - 5.44

Eric Bischoff was said to be absolutely thrilled when he saw the ratings this week, as WCW has definitely reached the next level following their huge clash of the champions pay per view. The RVD shoot promo was by far the highest rated segment of the night. On a side note, thunder did a 2.72 rating last week.

Clash of the Champions / Wrestlemania weekend ratings

It is being reported that clash of the champions did a .97 rating. The attendence was in the area of 56,000* people. Wrestlemania, on the other hand, did a 2.00 with about 71,000* in attendence. Both are being billed as huge successes and both companies are happy.

RVD DEBUTS!

Rob Van Dam debuted at WCW Clash of the Champions in the biggest way possible, by costing Steve Austin the heavyweight title. Many in the industry think that it was a pure brilliant move to keep the title on Chris Jericho, but not let him go over Steve Austin cleanly in a match which many expected Austin to walk out the victor

EDGE INJURED! Another superstar injured at Nitro?

Following his match at the Clash of the Champions, we can report that Edge will be out of action for a little while. We're also getting word that another major star was injured on Nitro. We expect WCW to address these issues later in the week.

DOUBLE TURN BEING HERALDED AS A SUCCESS

On Sunday Night, we saw the reuniting of the Second City Saints, as Colt Cabana turned face to save CM Punk from a flock attack. Moments later, however, CM Punk went crazy, attacking Colt Cabana and leaving with the US Title. This has been called a genuis move by WCW, as a program amongst the two is bound to start up again.

SCOTT STEINER: Contract issues?

Take this as a rumor, but we've been hearing for some time now that the reason Scott Steiner hasn't been involved in any major programs as of late is because both sides are having a hard time agreeing on a new deal. When WCW asked Steiner to take a pay cut, Steiner apparently snapped and got extremely angry with WCW. Take this for what it's worth.

WCW TO CALL UP DEVELOPMENT TALENT?

Another rumor out of left field here, we've been told that following their matches at Clash of the Champions weekend, WCW may be looking to call up some of their talent from Atlantic City Wrestling to be apart of their already large and cluddered roster. Once again, take this for what it's worth.

WCW Monday Night Nitro

Monday, March 20th, 2006

<=:=><=:=>Intro and Pyro<=:=><=:=>

Meltzer: "Hello everyone I'm David Meltzer along side the coach, what a night it was last night, we have two new champions in the pure champion Low-Ki, and new television champion Steven Richards!"

Coach: "But more importantly, Chris Jericho is STILL world heavyweight champion.."

"ONE OF A KIND!" Hits and RVD comes out as he gets a huge reaction from the crowd. Van Dam does all his typical poses to kick off the show. A few boo's can be heard throughout the arena. RVD gets in the ring and grabs a microphone.

RVD: "3 months ago, I was sitting in a hotel room in Philadelphia when I got a phone call from someone I thought I'd never talk to in my life. The man was Eric Bischoff. And Eric Bischoff and me talked for about 2 hours that night about everything from the wrestling industry to rolling joints. And then he asked me the big question, he asked me, "Rob Van Dam, do you want to come work for me in WCW?" I thought about it for a couple weeks while touring with ECW, losing to guys like Ken Shamrock and Randy Savage on a nightly basis. And I called Eric back and said, sure Eric, let's talk. So we sat down and discussed figures and opportunities. He said "Well RVD, If you sign with me, I'll let you get involved my company however you want. And that was all I need.

Now, I use to say I was ECW for life. It use to run through my blood like adrenaline. The words E C W were my drug of choice. But let me tell you something, that's NOT the ECW I remember. Paul Heyman is running the most god awful product in the world down there in Philadelphia. He's got guys like Bill Goldberg and the Rock being booked over guys like Tommy Dreamer, Taz and The Dudleyz. And now he's got this new mixed martial arts garbage going with the likes of Dan Severn and Ken Shamrock. How am I suppose to wrestle against pure martial artists only? But then, he's got guys like Chris Daniels and Samoa Joe, who week in and out bust their ass for the company to put over the same tired supertars every week. Sabu is the most dedicated worker there, and he hasn't even had a TITLE SHOT. And you know why? Because Paul Heyman is trying to use everything that works. He's trying to run a sports entertainment company using well known guys, yet at the same time, he's riding the coattails of ECW's past while trying to bring in "the future" of wrestling. THAT'S NOT ECW. ECW was a lifestyle, not a logo. ECW was about blood, sweat and tears. Not Politics and bitching. That's not ECW Paul Heyman, that's NOT WHAT WE CREATED! 3 weeks ago, I wrestled my final match in ECW, losing to STING! STING!

And after that, my contract expired and I jumped ship. I jumped ship to a company that is going places. I joined Eric Bischoff's promotion, WCW, because all I see here is potential. Guys are actually given opportunities. Hell, Colt Cabana is the United States champion! Low-Ki is a champion, CHRIS JERICHO has been the world champion for six months running. And speaking of Chris Jericho, last night, he retained his world title. Some might say that it was because of my help, but I'd say otherwise. I helped Chris Jericho just as much as I hurt him last night. When I climbed that top rope, and I saw both competitors on the ground, I made a decision, and that decision was to five star Steve Austin! Why? I'll tell you why. RVD is going to be world champion, and no offense to Steve Austin, but Rob Van Dam would rather make a name for himself by defeating the man who's been on top of the world in WCW for 6 months, the man who destroyed Hulkamania, I'd rather beat that egotistical jackass Chris Jericho. And I will beat him, and do you want to know why? Because I am the WHOLE DAM SHOW, ROB VAN..."

Raven's music hits and out comes the leader of the flock as the fans Boo. Raven gets right into the ring and takes the microphone from RVD.

Raven: "Excuse me for interrupting your big shoot promo RVD, I know it means a lot to you. I know that you think that you're the new guy and are going to jump right into the world title picture, and I don't know if you saw last night, but last night, I won the high stakes battle royal, and that means, I'm the number one contender for any title I damn well please. So RVD, you're just going to have to take backseat to me and the Flock, because if anyone is going to take that world title around the waist of the current champ, it's going to be me. Quote the.."

RVD: "Did I just hear you right? Did you just say take a back seat? Rob Van Dam doesn't take a back seat for anyone that doesn't have a pair of breasts, Raven. I am the whole damn show, and I'm here for one reason, to win the World Heavyweight Title. And I don't care what battle royal you may have won, because you didn't beat Mr. Pay Per View, ROB VAN DAM!"

Raven goes to clothesline RVD, RVD ducks and delivers a kick combo to the chest. GLASS SHATTERS!! RVD and Raven stop fighting in the ring as Austin comes running down the ramp, chair in hand. Austin slides into the ring and swings the chair like crazy as the fans errupt. RVD and Raven quickly get out of the ring, leaving the rattle snake furious in the ring as we go to commercial break, seeing Austin in the ring looking like a rabid pitbull about to kill something.

<0:86%>

Meltzer: "What a situation that is turning into. We're expecting to hear from our world champion a little later on tonight."

<=:=><=:=>Commercial Break<=:=><=:=>

WILLIAM REGAL VS JAMES STORM

Storm comes out first to a pretty dull response. Regal comes out next and the crowd cheers for him. The bell sounds and the two tie up. Great technical matchup here as a lot of mat wrestling was displayed by both William Regal and James Storm. Regal took early control of the matchup with an armdrag and cross armbar as Regal went to work on the shoulder and the arm. Storm fought back and quickly gained control after a sidewalk slam, slowing regal down with a sleeper hold a leg grapevine and then a sleeper hold as the crowd boo'd. Regal tried to fight back, but Storm floored him with a huge boot to the face that got a 2.9999 count. Storm quickly went back to work with a reverse chinlock, but Regal slammed back first into the corner and went to work with right hands. Storm regained control with a knee to the gut and set Regal up top, Regal fought back, shoving him off of the ropes as he was going for some sort of fallaway slam or something off the top. Regal dove off the top, catching Storm with an axehandle and both men hit the ground. They both got up at the count of 7, and exchanged punches, Storm got the better of the encounter and went to work on Regal with right hands, REGAL COUNTERS THE PUNCH WITH A WRAP AROUND NECKBREAKER! The fans cheer as regal locks in the Regal Stretch and STORM TAPS OUT! Regal celebrates in the ring as Storm lay on the ground in pain. Regal finally stops celebrating and turns around, SUPER KICK BY STORM!!! Storm leaves regal laid out in the center of the ring, assuring us that this feud isn't over.

WINNER: WILLIAM REGAL

<M:85% C:67% O:68%>

In the back, we see Eugene, he's playing with a yo-yo. Sean O'Haire walks up to him, trench coat and glasses on.

O'Haire: "That's a nice yo yo kid. "

Eugene: "Thank you."

O'Haire: "Do you ever think, sometimes we're all just Yo Yo's really. A Yo Yo can do many things, just like humans. It can perform tricks like we can perform tasks. Yo yo's come in all different colors and shapes and sizes. But a yo yo, all it really does is spins around and around, kind of like what we do as humans, wouldn't you say Eugene?"

Eugene: (confused) "Yeah..."

O'Haire: "But the thing about yo yo's is, without their string, they're nothing. It becomes an object incapable of performing it's intended function. You know what Eugene,You remind me of the yo yo, and William Regal reminds me of the string."

Eugene: "We aren't those."

O'Haire: "Eugene listen. You have all the ability in the world, but there's one thing holding you back, and it's William Regal! Regal could cut that string at any moment, and you'd be nothing. Do you understand? If the yo yo isn't on the string, then what good is the ring? The Yo Yo can be restrung, but the string, well, the string is just worthless. Do you get the picture Eugene?"

Eugene: "You ... you want my Yo yo?"

O'Haire: "You'lle  figure it out one day."

O'Haire pats Eugene on the back and starts to walk off. Eugene thinks for a minute, and then he starts to get the idea, at least we think!

<=:=><=:=>Commercial Break<=:=><=:=>

CM Punk's music hits and Punk makes his dramatic entrance as the crowd boo's more then ever. Punk makes his way to the ring, US TITLE around his waist. Meltzer yells out the fact that it doesn't belong to him. Punk gets in the ring and is all smiles and points to the US Title as if it's his. Punk grabs the microphone.

CM: "If you would all shut up for two seconds I'd be willing to explain myself to you. Not that I should, I mean, after all, I am better then each and every one of you. Even those of you who throw the X up, I don't believe you for one second. You, yeah, you Hambone in the crowd, I saw you throwing up the X, don't tell me you don't light up after a hard day day of college. Hey, hey you fatboy, don't lie to me, I know you get hammered every weekend and your buddies play tic tac toe all over the rolls on your back! Sweetie, Sweetie, don't play cute, we all know that dieting didn't get you that skinny. You people make me sick. You know who else makes me sick? Colt Cabana. You know why Colt Cabana makes me sick? Because for week's now he's been trying to get on my good side, doing everything he can to win my friendship back and win the respect of all of you. And then he did something that I would never predict in my wildest dreams, he won the United States title.

Let me tell you something though, as of this moment, This is MY title, you hear me? Colt Cabana, you've always been a sidekick, and you'lle always be a sidekick. You're not a serious competitor, you're a comedy routine. The only reason you wanted me to accept you as my partner again is because YOU NEED ME. Well pal, I hope I gave you a little dose of reality when I gave you that concussion. But I doubt it Cabana, I really do. You're no more then a smarter version of Eugene. Don't think for one second I'm giving your this title back, because quite frankly, you DON'T DESERVE IT. You've always played second fiddle to me pal, and guess what, nothing's going to change. As of this moment, CM PUNK IS THE NEW UNITED STATES..."

"I'M BACK..AND BETTER THEN EVER..." and the fans go wild as the boss comes power walking right down the ring with an angry look on his face. He gets right in the ring and grabs a microphone.

Eric: "CM PUnk, if you want to turn your back on your allies, that's fine. If you want to come out here and be an asshole, that's fine too, but let me tell you what you won't do. You WON'T hold someone down just because of an outrageous fit of jealousy. Colt Cabana isn't here tonight because he's recovering from his concussion. But let me tell you something, if he was here, I'd see fit to let him KICK YOUR ASS. That being said, CM Punk, you are NOT the United States champion, or ANY champion for that matter. And I'm out here, to take something that doesn't belong to you. CM Punk, unstrap that US Title and give it to me RIGHT NOW."

CM: "Well isn't this an interesting scenario. You talk about not holding down superstars Eric, but the only time you confront me is when I hurt someone else?

Foley: "Scott, my hands are tied, you're unfit to be in that ring. It's not up to me. If it was, I would surely love to see Freakzilla out there whipping some of these young arrogant guys into shape."

Steiner: "Amen to that at least. I know it's just your job Foley, I shouldn't get offended at you, you're just looking out for everyone else. And I'll admit, this injury hurts like hell. Well, if I can't wrestle, what can I do?"

Meltzer: "Well at this time, we were scheduled to have the world champion Chris Jericho out here for an interview, but apparently the champ has decided to no show."

Coach: "Of course he decided to No Show Meltzer, what's Eric Bischoff going to do, fire him?"

Meltzer: "It's just not right, the world champ should be here every night!"

Coach: "The man just won the biggest match of his career! He's probably still out celebrating from last night!  Let the champ take a week off, let him take a month off, he deserves it!"

Meltzer: "I don't agree with it one bit. Well now that we have some time left ladies and gentlemen, we'd like to tell you about some of our fine merchandise on wcwshopping.com. The new..."

Matt Hardy's music hits!! Out comes Mattitude and the crowd goes nuts for the guy. Matt is dressed up kinda nice, in a button down shirt and tie, hair slicked back.

Meltzer: "Well, we don't have Matt scheduled to be out here at this time."

Coach: "So someone get this cheeseball out of here! He injured Edge! Edge won't be back for 2 months Meltzer! 2 months!"

Matt gets into the ring and poses for a few seconds before grabbing the microphone.

Matt: "Last night, I engaged in the biggest, most brutal war of my life. And when I woke up this morning, I felt something. Sure, I felt the pain in my back and my neck and all over my body, but it wasn't that, I finally, for the first time in nearly a year, I felt comfort. For the first time, I woke up happy. I woke up satisfied knowing that all my past demons are finally gone. And as I turned over, I looked into the eyes of someone I love very much, Maria Kanellis. I was plannning on doing this in a few weeks, but seeing how as our world champion conveniently decided to Noshow tonight, and Edge is at home with a messed up ankle, I felt that maybe now would be the right time. Maria, can you please come out here."

Maria's theme hits and the lovely diva comes out, with a bit of smile on her face. The crowd cheers her arrival as Matt helps her into the ring, holding the ropes for her. The two share a short kiss in the ring. Matt drops the microphone, and drops the microphone and reaches into his pocket, and drops to one knee. He opens the small box, which contains an absolutely stunning ring. We don't need to hear the proposal or Maria saying yes to know what's just happened, and the crowd goes absolutely nuts as Matt places the ring on her finger. They share a kiss in the center of the ring as Nitro ends the right way for once, a happy moment, no talking, no commentating, just a new life for the newly engaged Matt Hardy and Maria Kanellis.. or should I say, Maria Hardy!

<0:77% Matt Hardy lost overness from this segment. Maria Kanellis gained overness from this segment. >

SHOW RATING: 74%

It is true that I wasn't happy with Raven having the US Title, because unlike the world title, I think the US Title needs to be defended regularly, rather then once a month, maybe twice. But look at my world title picture, Jericho defends once a month at the ppv, sometimes two times. The reason I don't do regular world title matches on Nitro is because who honestly thinks the title will change hands against someone like Siaki? I'd rather not bury guys like Siaki and Edge in title matches because we all know they probably won't win them. That way, when I do have a world title match on Nitro, it actually means something and is special. Also, if you'lle notice, Raven never eliminated anyone legitimately. He helped on the triple team to eliminate Marc and then dumped Booker and Eddie over the top to win while they were distracted. In sense, he won in typical Raven fashion, taking the easy way out.

Just wait.. you'lle see!

Saturday at Clash of the Champions Weekend

"Hey, I just got home from the WCW clash of champions saturday night. Let me just say, WCW put on a hell of a fan festival today. Nearly 25 top WCW Supertars, including Chris Jericho, Steve Austin, Booker T, Eddie Guerrero and even Chris Benoit signed autographs for nearly four hours. I talked to Chris Benoit, he said he'll back in the ring in around a year or so, which was a bummer. Hulk Hogan made a special appearance, hyping the event and cutting a promo on Chris Jericho. There were a lot of great attractions. You could call a match of your choice from 2004 with either David Meltzer or Coach. Also, there were playable demos of the new WCW video game.

Fozzy played a 1 and a half hour show at around 3:30PM. They were great. Jericho got heat from the crowd, and was talking trash on Austin in between songs. At the end of their performance, Steve Austin came on stage and made fun of Chris Jericho's leather pants. Austin then proceeded to sing "Coombaya", which got laughs from the crowd.

At 7:30 the wrestling event got underway inside of the Georgia dome. It looks a lot different from Thunder yesterday, but not exactly complete. Anyways, here's what I remember from the event. There were probably around 33,000 people or so, but only around 20,000 or so by the time the event ended at 11:00 or so.

Chance Beckett defeated Roderick Strong

The crowd was dead for this one as it was the first match of the night. Beckett looked really good, winning with the inverted texas clover leaf.

Sexxxy Eddie d. Mr. Aguila

The crowd sort of began to liven up for this one. Aguila looked really good, very fast in the ring. Eddie won with the five star porn splash.

M-Dogg 20 and Josh Prohibition d. Kevin Steen and Jimmy Rave

Everyone who saw the event would agree M-Dogg 20 stole the show. By far the most exciting wrestler, he hit a springboard frogsplash and won it with a running shooting star press.

Paul Birchill d. Air Paris and Adam Windsor

This one was essentially a squash. Birchill looked really good and hit the double C4 for the victory.

Big Vito and Al Snow d. The Briscoes

This was a great match and Snow and Vito got the first real reaction of the night out of the crowd. Snow won it with a moonsault on Jay.

Alex Shelley and Jimmy Jacobs and Austin Aries and Jack Evans battle to a time limit draw

These two teams battled to a 15 minute draw. The fans asked for 5 more minutes, as this one was off the hook. Evans amazed fans with the 630 twice in the match! Jacobs took a sick bump after Aries threw him to the outside when he tried a contra code. Jacobs finished the match with a bit of a limp.

Whiskey Marc d. Bobby Roode

Yet another squash. Marc won within two minutes here. After the match, he cut a promo on Mick Foley. Foley's music hit and Foley came out to a huge pop. Foley and Marc exchanged words, Foley threatening to kick Marc out of the battle Royal

Torrie Wilson d. Stacy Keibler in a bikini contest

Stacy wore the SMALLEST MICRO BIKINI I've ever seen. If I hadn't had great seats, I would have assumed she was naked, as it was flesh colored. Torrie seemed a little disgusted, and was awarded the victory. Stacy attacked her at the contest and kicked her in the face.

Sean O'Haire and Edge d. Sinister Creation

This was a very good match, although everyone knew what to expect. Edge hit the spear and O'Haire hit the Seanton bomb on Tajiri for the win. After the match, Matt Hardy came from the crowd and jumped Edge and the two had to be pulled apart

Steve Austin came out to end the show, thanking us all for coming out and cutting a promo on Jericho. Jericho's music hit, but the champion no showed, just playing mindgames with Austin.

overall, I'd say the night went pretty well and many fans enjoyed seeing the show, even though there weren't many big names. I'm guessing this show was used as a tryout for many of the wrestlers to see how they perform in front of a crowd.

WCW THUNDER

Friday, March 17th, 2005

1. Upping the ante

The show starts out with Eric Bischoff, sitting at his desk in his office.

Eric: "Tonight, I'm here to make an announcement in regards to one of the matches at Clash of the Champions. As you may have seen, there is a 30 man over the top battle royal that will take place at the Clash. Well, I'm here to up the ante in that match. You see, I've decided that the winner of that match will receive a title shot at ANY title of their choosing, at ANY time they want within the next 60 days. Thank you very much, and welcome to the start of THE CLASH OF CHAMPIONS WEEKEND!"

<=:=><=:=>Intro and Pyro<=:=><=:=>

We get our first shots of inside the Georgia dome, it doesn't look like the entire set has been set up yet for the clash, but what's up now will work. As we get some shots via craned cameras, you can clearly see steel siding and equiptment hidden behind baracades. 30,000 Screaming fans are on hand to witness the first event of the weekend, Thunder!

2. Homicide vs Juventud Guerrera

David Meltzer informs us that Playa Nation and The Spanish Uprising have been banned from ringside. Juvi comes out to boo's, whereas Homicide gets a decent ovation. Collar and elbow and Homicide gets the early advantage and goes behind and tries for a german suplex, but Juvi lands on his feet and grabs Homicides head and hits a bulldog to take control of the match. Back and forth match here that saw both men nearly hit their finishers, the Juvi Driver and the Vertabreaker, in the very early going. Homicide connected on an overhead belly to belly, but Juvi retaliated almost immediately with a head scissors after being irish whipped. Juvi messed a double jump springboard Moonsault. At the 6 minute mark, Juvi connected on bodyslam and went up top for the 450, but Homicide crotched him up top and hit a super ace crusher that got a two count and an "ahhhhhh" from the crowd. Homicide threw Juvi outside through the ropes and hit the ropes, looking for the cannonball suicide dive through the middle rope, but Juvi moved out of the way. Juvi connected on a Asia moonsault and threw Homicide inside. Juvi went for the Juvi driver, but he couldn't get him up. Boot to the stomach and the Vertabreaker by Homicide gets the pinfall victory and gives Playa Nation momentum going into the huge Six man tag this sunday.

WINNER: HOMICIDE

Spanky: "I don't need anything, I was trained by.."

Low-Ki: "Oh, I forgot, you like to ride the coattails of your mentor."

Spanky: "I don't need to ride the coattails of anything, I could defeat you, I could defeat anyone in this company."

Low-Ki: "Is that so? Well why don't you put that Pure title on the line at Clash of the Champions?"

Spanky: "Fine, but after I defeat you, you better bowdown and show the MVP a little respect, damnit."

Low-Ki: "And after I beat you, you go to the doctor and get a reality check, because you aren't dealing with a full deck pal."

Spanky and Low-Ki have a stare down before Spanky turns around and walks out of Low-'ki's locker room.

4. Determined to win

Backstage, we see Edge, standing by with Mean Gene. Edge takes the microphone from Mean Gene and boots him out of the picture.

Edge: "Matt Hardy, I want you to listen good. This Sunday, we're going to use chairs, we're going to drive one another through tables, we're going to jump off ladders, all inside a steel Cell. There will be no escape Matt Hardy, none. This Sunday, I'm taking you to hell and only I'm coming back. And at the end of the match, neither of us will be the same. We both know what happens inside of that cell, unrivaled, brutal violence. And there have been some violent matches in WCW in the past year, but NOTHING will be as violent as our encounter. We will both bleed buckets and yell in pain. But in the end, and you listen good Matt, I'm going to break you in two. You say I've caused you heartache and mental anguish, well this time it's physical, and this little war between me and you, it's going to end. And after my hand gets raised in victory, I'm going after the world title, you can bank on it!"

Cabana: "In here Punk!"

CM walks into the room and rounds a corner, he's shocked by what he see's. Cabana is dressed up in Atlanta Falcons football gear, Helmet and all, and has a football in his hand.

CM: "What the hell are you doing Cabana?"

Cabana: "Look at what I found Punk! All of this stuff is just sitting here. Look, I wrote my name on the back of this jersey!"

Cabana shows the jersey to Punk, it looks like Cabana has used chalk or some sort of red paint to cover up the word "Vick" with "Colt"

CM: "Cabana!! Those are the Falcons Jerseys! You can't do that! You're going to get WCW in trouble!"

Cabana: "I'll just tell them it wasn't me."

CM: "You wrote the word "COLT" on the back of that jersey, who do you think they're going to suspect did it?"

Cabana: "Christian?"

CM: "Ugh, listen Cabana. Eric Bischoff booked us in a match tonight. Me and you have to take on Steven Richards and Christian. Now listen, we have history, as a team, we're unstoppable, and you don't have to like me and I don't have to like you for us to succeed."

Cabana: "I like you Punk!"

CM: "Ugh, shut up. My point is this, There's no way Christian and Richards can work together tonight, all we have to do is get along long enough for them to self destruct, do you understand?"

Cabana: "Self destruct? There's no way I'm getting into the ring with them if they're just going to blow up."

CM: "Sometimes I wonder about you.."

Cabana: "Punk, I said I liked you, but not in that way bro. I've got a girlfriend."

CM just looks at Cabana, and smacks him on the helmet before walking out. Cabana grabs a football and starts yelling out football terms before throwing the ball right into a fire extinguisher cabinet and breaks the glass. Cabana runs out of the room, football gear still on.

Primetime:

WWE - 6.05

WCW - 5.44

ECW - 5.50

WCW Wins War

WCW won the weekly war against ECW last week. WCW now sits at 16% PI, where ECW sits at 5%

Petey Williams - moving up

Petey Williams has been bumped from opener to Lower midcard following his recent tv work.

O'Haire - Tajiri working stiff

Sean O'Haire recently complained to WCW management that Tajiri stiffed him in their match. O'Haire wasn't very happy after their match, and it was noticeable backstage

Jimmy Jacobs - Walking on thin ice

In a radio interview last week, wcw superstar Jimmy Jacobs completely trashed Chris Jericho, Steve Austin and Eddie Guerrero, making comments in regards to their backstage presence being "like a mini triple h". Although he was not punished, sources say this may have killed the push he was in line to receive. We'll have more on this as it develops.

<=:=><=:=>Intro and Pyro<=:=><=:=>

Glass shatters and out comes Steve Austin before Meltzer can even welcome us to the broadcast! The crowd goes wild as Austin makes his way to the ring and poses on the turnbuckles before grabbing the microphone.

Austin: "I'm looking for a man, maybe one of your can tell me if you seen him. He's a short little bastard, sawed off, about 6 foot, weights about, 210 pounds dripping wet, has bitch blonde hair and a stupid little goatee to go with it. He wears a leather jacket and tight leather pants and calls himself the king of the world. He's a Jerk, he's pathetic, he's an asshole! His name is right at the tip of my tounge, Christian, Crispin, Chris Kanyon, no, Chris Benoit, no, Chris..Chris...Chris... the man's name is Chris Jericho, and this sunday, it won't matter what his name is after I defeat that son of a bitch for the heavyweight championship. Chris Jericho parades around here like he's the greatest thing to every happen to wrestling. He claims he killed Hulkamania, he claims he's the king of the world. Well I claim that this Sunday, he's going to be one sorry son of a bitch. And as far as Eric Bischoff is concerned, you can be the special enforcer, the guest time keeper, the guest ring announcer, whatever the hell you want, as far as I'm concerned, you stay out of my business, and Stone Cold will stay out of yours. Now..."

"BREAK THE WALLS DOWNNN!!!" Hits and Chris Jericho comes out, interrupting Austin's speech. Jericho poses with the world title on the entrance ramp before walking down and getting right in the ring, staring right at Austin. Jericho reaches for a microphone that the ring announcer hands him.

Jericho: "Would you please, SHUT THE HELLLLLL UP. I'm not out here to talk Austin, I'm out here to fight. So come on, HIT ME!!!!!!! HIT ME!!!!!! HIT ME YOU SON OF A BITCH!!!!!!"

Jericho is tempting Austin to hit him so he'll be out of the match this Sunday! Eric Bischoff barred these two from touching one another until the Clash. Austin looks down at the ground.

Jericho: "Yeah, that's right Austin, you can't. BECAUSE YOU DON'T HAVE THE B***S"

Austin raises his fist to Jericho and the crowd hushes. Austin wants to hit Jericho so bad, you can just tell by looking at how hard it is for him to hold back. Austin turns away and starts to walk away.

Jericho: "What's the matter Austin? Huh? Got a case of the limber tail? Afraid to face the GREATEST CHAMPION OF ALL TIME? Go ahead Austin, take your shot, I know you want to!"

Austin stops and turns around and the crowd cheers. He looks at Jericho and flips him the double middle fingers. Jericho drops the microphone and gets an angry look on his face, and now the tables have turned. Austin points to his chin, as if he's telling Jericho to hit him. Jericho raises his fist now, and winds up, but instead, he hits the mat and rolls out of the ring, smiling at Austin as he walks up the ramp. These two would love to beat the hell out of each other tonight, but it looks like they're going to have to wait till Sunday.

Meltzer: "Well Coach, I don't know if these two can even make it to Sunday without beating the hell out of each other."

Coach: "I hope Austin attacks Jericho before the weekend, wouldn't that be great? No Steve Austin around?"

Meltzer: "It'd be a crying shame. I'm looking forward to their match this sunday!"

Coach: "I'm looking forward to seeing my man Y2J defeat Steve Austin!"

Meltzer: "Well that remains to be seen!"

Christian: "Hey chumpstain!"

Cabana turns around and Christian and Cabana are nose to nose.

Christian: "Thanks for winning my belt from that asshat Raven. Now if you don't mind, I'll be taking back my title."

Cabana: "Your title? Your title? Hold on there a second pal. I was born yesterday and I know that nobody just gets handed a title."

Christian: "Uh..you were born yesterday?"

Cabana: "I mean, you were born yesterday."

Christian: "Try again."

Cabana: "Huh?"

Christian: "Nevermind."

Cabana: "No, try what again? Are you calling me stupid?"

Christian: "No..well yes...huh what?"

Cabana: "What's the matter, cat got your tongue?

Christian: "UGH, Just shutup for a second Cabana, I feel like I'm talking to Eugene, damnit. Cabana, I'll make this short and sweet, so even you can understand. This Sunday, at Clash of the Champions, your US Title, is coming home with Captain Charisma and all his peeps, BITCH!"

Cabana: "Captain Charisma? Well, Captain, let me ask you a question.. (in a pirate voice) "Shiver me timbers, where's your pirate ship at?"

Christian: "I'm not pirate dumbass, I'm a captain. I'm the captain, who makes it happen!"

Cabana: "Well, I'm a captain too, you've never heard of Captain Cabana and the 3 Punkateers? Hey I know, let's have a walk the plank match!"

Christian: "Captain...Cabana? Punkateers? Walk the plank match?  Listen, whatever you and Punk do in your spare time, I don't care."

Cabana: "He took me ice fishing once, in Canada. Have you ever Ice fished?"

Christian, frustrated as hell, just walks out, leaving Cabana talking to himself about his ice fishing story. Cabana turns around, and Christian is gone.The funny thing, all that time, he was looking in the mirror, yet he was shocked when he turned around. The fans laugh at these two's confrontation.

Backstage, we see Commissioner Foley has a makeshift office set up, with a door just randomly placed in front of his desk, which is just in a wide open area. Regal and Eugene walk up and Regal is confused by the presence of the door, as he can clearly just walk around it. Eugene is a bit confused too, but knocks on the door.

Foley: "Come in! .. Ah yes, Sir Williams and Eugene, what can I do for you two fellows today?"

Regal: "Well Mick, we have a bit of a problem. Did you see the match last week against those two cowboy looking fellows?"

Foley: "America's Most Wanted? Yeah, I saw, and I gotta say, the ending was a bummer."

Regal: "So you have the same feelings as me and my partner Eugene then? Well Commissioner Foley, we were wondering if we could have a rematch against them tonight for the tag team titles?"

Foley: "Hmmm..I'll do you one better William. How about, I make that match, but at Clash of the Champions instead?"

Regal: "That would be bloody brilliant I say. Just out of curiosity, why the generousity."

Foley: "Well to be honest with you Regal, I kinda feel a little bad about what happened a couple weeks ago, I heard what our little devil Eugene did to your car with that paintball gun I gave him."

Eugene: "I painted it orange!!!"

Foley: "hahaha, attaboy Eugene"

Regal: "Don't encourage the lad. A paint job on an Aston Martin is bloody expensive!"

Eugene: "Uh ohhhh."

Regal: "What's uh oh Eugene?"

Eugene: "I..left..candy on the ...oops."

Regal: "You left that dispicable chocolate bar on my leather seat on a hot day? Eugene!!!!"

Regal goes running away towards the parking garage , and Foley is all laughter as Eugene smiles.

Backstage, we see Stacy Keibler and Austin Aries standing by with Mean Gene.

Mean Gene: "Stacy, you requested this time?"

Stacy: "Yes I did Gene. Chris Sabin, you think you've got our number. But this Friday, on the Clash of Champions weekend edition of Thunder, Austin Aries is going to hurt you in ways you never thought possible. So you've got 3 wins against Generation Next. Big deal, you got lucky on two of those wins. And speaking of getting lucky, Come on Austin, let's get out of this landfill."

Austin: "One second Stacy, Chris Sabin, this Friday, if you're looking for the sweep against Generation Next, you're not going to get it. Just like the yankees, you're going to choke. But speaking of choking.."

Stacey gives Austin a curious-like look before the two kiss porn star style and walk away, leaving Men Gene standing there.

Matt Hardy's music hits and out comes the angelic diablo, carrying..a ladder! The crowd pops hard at Hardy's appearance, he's mass over here. He gets in the ring and sets the ladder up in the middle of the ring.. He grabs a microphone and climbs to the top of the ladder.

Matt: "Most people are afraid of heights. They fear ladders, they fear falling, but not me. The last year of my life has been nothing but a free fall. I was on top of the world, I had a girlfriend I loved, I had a job waiting for me when I got back from injury, everything was going great. Then something happened, and I went tumbling down. One man ruined my life, crushed my spirits. But then I forgot all about that and rebuilt my life when I signed with WCW last July. I rebuilt myself a new life, and I found someone else, someone who means the world to me. But then I made some mistakes, and that one man from my past came back to try to ruin my life again. If you don't know, that man is Edge. Me and Edge, we go way back with ladders, as many of you all know. And at clash of the champions, you all may think that I'm out here to challenge Edge to a ladder match, but I'm not. I want something more brutal, something more demonic. Something that's never been done before. Edge, this Sunday, it will be the final showdown between me and you. And after I destroy you, I'm going to move on in my life. Edge, this Sunday, I want you in a TABLES, LADDERS, CHAIRS......AND HELL IN THE CELL!"

Coach: "A TLC and H in the cell? He's just making things up now!"

The crowd pops hard for the idea of that match. Edge's entrance hits and out comes Edge amidst all the smoke. Edge walks with a purpose right into the ring and takes the microphone from Matt.

Edge: "You're right Matt, this does have to end. I've got more important things to worry about then Matt freakin Hardy. And this sunday, I accept your match. And Matt, I've already taken you to hell and back, and I'll do it again, but this time, you won't be coming back! And you can bank on it"

Matt jumps down off the ladder and the two go toe to toe. Right hand by Matt, Edge counters and delivers right hands of his own. Knee lift by Matt and an irish whip..SPEAR!!!!!! Edge Speared Hardy! Edge grabs the ladder and closes it and sets it down on the ground. He picks up matt and body slams him onto the ladder and goes to the 2nd rope, BACK SENTON off the 2nd rope and onto Hardy! Hardy rolls around in pain as he's just been driven back first into the ladder. Edge smiles before his music hits and he leaves the ring.

SPANKY VS SONNY SIAKI, pure title match

Siaki comes out, and gets a great response from the crowd. Spanky out next, and he gets mostly cheers, although you can tell the fans are starting to turn on him a bit. Spanky takes a good look at the belt before handing it to the referee. Pure title rules apply for this one, 20 count on the floor, 3 ropebreaks per competitor and then the ropes are legal, closed fists are illegal, first one gets you a warning, each one after costs a ropebreak, and if you don't have any, you're disqualified. Collar and elbow tieup and Spanky goes behind with a rear waistlock. Siaki with a standing switch and goes behind spanky, Spanky runs to the ropes and holds on, sending Siaki flying backwards. The ref is calling that a ropebreak! (Spanky 2, Siaki 3). Spanky argues with the ref, but Siaki turns him around and kicks him in the stomach. Irish whip by Siaki and a back body drop connects, followed by a clothesline up and over the ropes. Siaki hits the ropes and hits a baseball slide on Spanky that sends Spanky into the guardrail. Siaki climbs to the top rope and dives off onto Spanky, but Spanky moves and Siaki eats a face full of guardrail. Spanky throws him back in the ring and goes for a pin, but only gets two.

Spanky picks up Siaki and snapmares him over and applies a dragon sleeper. After struggling, Siaki goes for an uppercut, but Spanky dodges it, and another. Knowing he's stuck in the hold, Siaki rolls to the ropes (Spanky 2, Siaki 2). They break and go to lock up again, but Spanky kicks him in the gut. Abdominal stretch by Spanky and the ref is out of position and misses Spanky's heel like antics as he grabs the ropes.

Poke to the eyes by Spanky and he throws Siaki to the outside. Spanky his the ropes suicide cannonball dive through the second rope! Spanky picks up Siaki, Irish whip into the steel steps and the crowd doesn't like Spanky's antics very much. Spanky rolls him back in the ring.

Low-Ki begans making his way down to ringside to get a better look at this match. Spanky sees him and doesn't like it very much, and Siaki attacks him from behind while he's distracted. irish whip by Siaki, reversed by Spanky..wraparound DDT by Siaki! Siaki picks up Spanky and irish whips him, Samoan drop! Siaki makes the cover, 1-2-Spanky grabs the ropes (Spanky 1, Siaki 1). Siaki picks Spanky up and delivers another right hand before realizing what he just did, that's his final rope break and that's Siaki's third time he's done that, 2 of which cost him ropebreaks! (Spanky 1, Siaki 0).

Meltzer: "Let me tell you something about these pure matches, this is a whole different element, and what we're seeing right now is Siaki completely out of his element. This style of wrestling is certainly a unique style that only WCW can offer you!"

Spanky kicks Siaki in the stomach and delivers a gut wrench powerbomb. Spanky goes to the top rope, elbow drop misses! Spanky gets to his feet and Siaki goes behind him, the ref is out of position and he MISSES THE LOWBLOW BY SPANKY! The fans boo as Spanky grabs Siaki's head, SLICED BREAD #2! 1-2-3 and Spanky wins it, but Low-Ki has something to say, as he spins Spanky around as Spanky's being given his title. Ki wants to know why Spanky cheated, but Spanky shrugs him off. Ki grabs spanky again and spins him around and yells at him. Spanky gets back in his face. Ki pushes him backwards, into Siaki. Spanky turns around, SIAK BOTTOM! Ki looks down at Spanky, who's been laid out. Ki yells "I hope you learned your lesson." to Spanky, as he obviously doesn't approve of Spanky's cheating antics.

Backstage, we see The Hurricane, sorta. He's dressed in street clothes, no longer has green hair, no mask, no superhero outfit. He has a microphone.

Hurricane: "I'm Shane Helms, and many of you know me as, well, as a past identity. Let me just tell you, that part of me is gone, and is never coming back. He's taken a permanent vacation. And his alter ego, the journalist Helms, he's gone too. I don't know where they went. Those two have left me here, by myself. And you know what? For the first time in a long time, I'm happy. I'm glad that neither of them are here. In fact, I'm feeling fine. There's a new Shane Helmes on the block, and things are finally feeling sweet! Sugar Shane is back baby, and he's better then ever! And those other guys, you can forget about them, they're never coming back!"

Shane looks around a little confused, as if he's not sure where he is, and then he just walks off camera.

Homicide vs Juventud Guerrera

Homicide comes to the ring with the rest of Playa Nation, Elix Skipper and cruiserweight champion Ruckus. Juvi comes out with Red, Rey and Psychosis as the Spanish Uprising are in full effect. Playa Nation stand in the ring tall, this is suppose to be a one on one matchup, but I don't think that is going to happen, as all four members of the Spanish Uprising are in the ring. Fingers are being pointed and waived in the ring. All of a sudden, we have gang warfare on our hands as it's an all out brawl in the ring as all 7 men duke it out. Skipper is thrown to the outside, as is Juvi and Homicide, and this thing has just broken down into a piere six brawl. In the ring, Ruckus connected with a spinning heel kick on Rey. Ruckus throws Red over the top rope and Psychosis as well and hits the ropes, corkcrew plancha over the top rope takes everyone out! Rey is the only one left standing in the ring! Rey grabs the microphone.

Rey: "Hey, I see how this is. This isn't gonna get settled here. This Sunday, at the Clash, how about this alright.. 6 man tag match, Spanish uprising and the playa nation. And we'll settle this. How does that sound?

Ruckus walks away from the crowd on the outside grabs a microphone.

Ruckus: "Uprising, you got a deal. But rest assured, if it's gang warfare you want, that's what we're all about dawg. You can bring all 4 of your asses and we'll still whoop your ass even though we're down a man! Ruckus and the playa are coming for you uprising, you brought the hate, now we're gonna bring the pain."

The two groups take a few parting shots as officials break them up. How said, Juvi vs Homicide would have been a great match too!

Winner: -No Contest-

Backstage, we see CM Punk, working out, doing situps. The crowd pops at the site of Punk on the tron. All of a sudden, Raven and Steven Richards walk up. Punk jumps to his feet and gets ready for a fight.

CM: "Raven, get the hell out of here. I don't want nothing to do with you, I've already had my wars with you. Don't make me hurt you again."

Raven: "Hold on there mall rat, you'lle get your fight soon enough. Now I know you and Steven have a big match this Sunday for the television title, and to be quite honest, I don't have anything against you anymore Punk. We lead two seperate lifestyles, let's just keep it at that."

CM: "Raven, you've lived a life of Debauchery. You're a druggie, you're a conman, and you're up to no good."

Raven: "Or so you claim. Look, we didn't come to start trouble or jump you from behind. Steven has expressed to me that he plans on defeating you in the center of the ring fair and square, and has requested that the flock doesn't interfere in the match this Sunday. I've just come to be the voice for him, as he feels he's simply too good to talk to you"

CM: "Too good to talk to me? What do you have these guys on Raven? Better yet, don't answer that Raven, god knows what drugs you have this wackjob on. Raven, I know what you're doing and it won't work. I've seen the headgames you play, and your word means nothing."

Raven: "My words speak volumes to right the right people Punk. Just remember that. And just remember, regardless of what Steven wants, one snap of my fingers Punk, One snap, and my minions of darkness will attack."

Raven snaps his fingers and Richards acts like he's going to punch Punk. Instead, he holds up, and Punk flinches.

Raven: "Scared yet? Fear us."

Raven and Richards walk off, obviously just trying to play mindgames with Punk. Punk goes back to doing situps, but has a much different, much more worried look on his face, and he looks around to make sure no one's behind him.

1. That's not very Noble of them..

James Gibson makes his way down to the ring to kick off the show as Brain and Meltzer welcome us to the broadcast. Gibson looks to be in great form as he's preparing for his match in the ring. All of a sudden, The Flock's music hits, and out they come. Meltzer informs us that they're not scheduled to be out here. The flock circle the ring, Raven shouting orders. Like a pack of dogs, they all hit the ring at once and simply outman Gibson. Kidman, Lodi, Richards, Whipwreck and Tajiri all attack Gibson while Sinister Minister, Torrie and Raven look on. After the beatdown, Richards throws Gibson out of the ring. Raven gets in the ring and grabs a microphone, he looks pissed.

Raven: "Two days ago, the biggest injustice in the legacy that is my career occured. I lost the United States title.. TO A COMEDY CHARACTER. Well Colt Cabana, you don't see me laughing, now do you? You caught me off guard, you caught the flock off guard. Perhaps I made the mistake though, I misjudged you. Who honestly expected Colt Cabana to come out strong for that match. I defeat Christian and Booker T in a triple threat match 2 and a half weeks ago, only to lose to someone like..Colt Cabana? Rest assured Cabana, you haven't seen the last of the flock.

The last few weeks, well they haven't been the greatest for the Flock. But let's look at the circumstances. It took four heathens to defeat Billy Kidman for his Cruiserweight title. And Sinister Creation, well, they defeated 2 teams in one night, only to fall to the tag team champions due to exhaustion. And then to top it all off, as if it wasn't bad enough, I lose to Colt Cabana. But rest assured, there has been one shining star in  the Flock in recent weeks, and that man is Steven Richards! And next Sunday, at the Clash of the Champions, he's going to defeat CM Punk for that television title, and he will bring, no, I DEMAND he brings gold back to the flock. Quote the Raven, Nevermore!"

Raven throws down the microphone and the flock leave the ring, obviously in a bad mood.

2. Petey Williams vs Air Paris

Williams gets heat as he's dressed in Canadian attire. The crowd is silent for Air Paris. Great match here that saw the two competitors go back and forth in the affair. Paris thought he had won it with a victory roll, but Wiliams managed to escape. Petey countered the tilt-a-whirl backbreaker by landing on his feet and delivering a russian leg sweep that got a two count. Paris looked good in the late going of the match, connecting on a flying wheel kick. He went of top for the cross body, but Petey rolled through to get a two count. The finish saw Petey Hitting an absolutely stunning Canadian destroyer for the obvious 3 count and celebrating with a canadian flag draped across his shoulders on the top rope.

Low-Ki: "What the hell was that all about this monday?"

Spanky: "What, I was just trying to help you?"

Low-Ki: "By doing what? Costing me a shot at the television title?"

Spanky: "I didn't cost you anything, you were gonna get attacked by Whipwreck!"

Low-Ki: "Listen to me Spanky, I'm not sure what the hell this whole jealousy issue that's going on with you is, and to be quite honest, I don't care either. Just hear this, I can handle myself in that ring, don't ever interfere on my behalf again."

Spanky: "Jealousy issue? Why would I be jealous of you?"

Low-Ki: "A belt doesn't mean anything Spanky, just remember that."

Spanky: "What the hell is that suppose to mean? Do you know what this belt means? It means I'm a champion, and you're not. I've been hearing things Ki, People are telling me that you think you're better then me."

Low-Ki: "I've been hearing things too, I've been hearing that I better watch my back, because someone might be stabbing it any day now!"

Ki walks away, leaving Spanky with a smirk on his face as he puts his headphones back on.

4. The Carnage Crew (HC-Loc and Tony Devito) vs The Backseat Boyz

A great tag team affair between two up and coming tag teams here in WCW. Neither got much of a response from the crowd, but they livened up once the action started. Early in the contest, Devito caught Acid trying a cross body and connected on a huge fallaway slam that send Acid rooling to the outside. Kashmere came in, but he was the victim of a press slam by Devito with a gutbuster right onto the knee of HC-Loc. Distracted, Acid managed to get back on the apron and connect on a springboard legdrop that took Devito down. Kashmere and Acid connected on a double suplex onto HC-Loc later in the match, but it only got a two. From there, it was all downhill as the Carnage Crew were just too tough for the Backseat boyz, as Devito and HC-Loc took Kashmere and Acid's heads off with a Boot to the face and a lariat at nearly the same time. Swinging backdrop suplex gets Devito the pin on Kashmere as the fans came around, enjoying the violence in this one.

Another irish whip by Sabin and Evans jumps onto the second rope and springboards off, landing behind sabin. INVERTED DDT. Evans says it's over and goes up top, 630 MISSES! Sabin picks him up, CRADLE SHOCK!!! 1-2-3 and this one's over, but Aries hits the ring and kicks Sabin while he's down. Aries kicks away at Sabin before picking him up, Brainbuster connects and he tells Jack to go up top, 630 connects! Aries puts Sabin in the rings of Saturn as refs have to pry him off.

O'Haire: "Hey, don't read into that too much. Everyone knows those are fake."

7. A show of class

Backstage, we see Colt Cabana backstage playing Xbox360. He's yelling obsenities into his headset.

CM Punk opens the door and comes in. Cabana throws down the controller in frustration and turns around, seeing the Punker. He picks up his US title and puts it on his shoulder

Cabana: "Hey Punk!! How's it going pal?"

CM: "easy on the hospitality Colt, I'm not here to renew friendships.  I'm just here, to say...congradulations."

Cabana: "Well..uh..thanks! I didn't really expect to win gold in WCW before you and all."

CM: "I know, I know, but you know, that's alright, I'll have that television title soon enough. And you know what, it's good to see, you know, one of the boys, with gold around their waist."

Cabana: "uh, it's around my shoulder!"

CM: "You know what I mean. After I win that television title, and IF you're still champ, I think it's time for me and you to hook it up and see who's the better champion."

Cabana: "You know I'm always up for a friendly competition"

CM: "It's not friendly....yet"

Steiner: "That's right mean Gene. Scott Steiner hasn't faired too well lately, and the elbow is still bothering me a bit. But I'm not out here to bitch and moan. I'm out here to announce one thing. Next week, Big Poppa Pump is gonna bury the hatchet. You see, Booker T has asked me to be his partner in his match next week against Eddie Guerrero and Konnan, and I've accepted! I have my own agenda however, while Booker's out for revenge, I'm out to test my elbow. But rest assured, that doesn't mean Scott Steiner doesn't want to kick some ass, because that's what the big bad booty daddy is all about, ass kickin. And Eddie Guerrero, be warned, Freakzilla isn't going to go easy on you just because of a sore elbow. And to all the freakazoids out there, Scott Steiner aint gonna half ass nothing. Holla if ya hear me!"

- RATINGS -

Primetime:

WWE - 6.02

WCW - 5.48

ECW - 5.48

So ECW and WCW Deadlock yet again. This is definitely getting interesting. On another note, last week's thunder did a 2.75 on the ratings chart.

Amazing Red - moving up

The Amazing Red will be moving for midcard to uppermidcard following the recent use of his character in the new stable, The Spanish Uprising.

Ruckus - Also moving up

Also making a much anticipated and expected roster bump is cruiserweight champion Ruckus. Many say that it's about time, as he's definitely been hot with the fans, even as a heel.

WAR!

WCW and ECW have yet again found themselves in another 1 week war. ECW currently sits at 11 PI, where WCW sits at 20.

I know a lot of people here are big Raven fans, me being one of them. There were A couple factors in Raven losing the belt.

1. I don't like a non-wrestler holding a title that has an image of 90 (Raven turned non-wrestler last July or August gametime)

2. Cabana's character has been coming up with big wins in the clutch (CM in 2/3 falls, Steiner at Superbrawl, etc). I now realize I haven't specified this part of his character enough.

Everything happens for a reason. I don't just allow random title changes or give guys titles to establish them. I mean, sure, I've had Christian, Booker T, Steiner, Edge, Raven , etc etc as US/World title contenders, I felt it was time to elevate someone else to that status. You'lle see soon enough.

WCW Monday Nitro

<=:=><=:=>Intro and Pyro<=:=><=:=>

Meltzer: "Hello everyone and welcome to Nitro. Tonight, the TV Title semi finals get underway, as CM Punk takes on Sonny Siaki, and Steven Richards battles LOW-KI!"

Coach: "In addition to that, what a great main event we have in store as Raven wrestles HERE TONIGHT on Nitro! He'll defend the US Title against Colt Cabana!"

"BREAK THE WALLS DOWN!!!!!!!!" And Jericho's pyro goes off with a bang as the champ makes his way out to a thunderous ovation of boo's to kick off the show. Jericho obviously is in a sour mood as he doesn't even bother posing, and rips the mic away from the ring announcer.

Y2J: "Last week, that Jackass Steve Austin tried to embarrass me. He tried to make me look like a fool. He made me punch cakes and cautiously open that huge present, only to attack me disguised as a referee. Well Austin, if you want to go ahead and play your little mumbo jumbo head games, that's fine. Y2J is a big boy, he can play mindgames as well. Do you actually think that you can defeat me junior? Do you? Steve Austin, I beat you last month, I beat you to become the first ever Undisputed Heavyweight champion, and at Clash of the champions, I'll do the same, because I am, The living legend, the highlight of the night, and your world heavyweight champion for almost a half of year running, I am Chris Jericho, rockstar, champion, and King of the World.

But I'm sure you know who I am, hell, I'm the guy who has the one thing that you want, the world heavyweight title. But I have more then that Steve Austin, I have these lucious blonde locks that you could never, evvvvvvver grow, an overpowering charismatic image, a list of magazine covers and front page newspaper headlines that goes on for miles, and above all, unrivaled talent when I step through these ropes. And you Austin, you don't even have b***s to face me man to man! You have to dress up like a referee and attack Y2J unknowingly. Well Junior, I'm calling you out! Get your.."

GLASS SHATTERS! And out comes Stonecold walking with a purpose as the crowd goes nuts. Austin stands toe to toe with Chris Jericho and grabs the microphone.

Austin: "I'm standing by in the back, listening to you flap your gums about how your a rockstar, a legend, blah blah blah king of the world. And I thought to myself, "Hey, that man could save a lot of time if he just got to the point and summed up everything in one word, JACKASS!" You stand out here, wasting everyones time, rambling on about how great you are, and then you say that I don't have the b***s to you face to face? Well son, Here I am, face to face, man to man, state your peace or get out of my face you son of a bitch!"

Jericho: "Austin, give me one good reason why I shouldn't take you out of the match right now and cripple your ass?"

Austin: "I'll give you a few good reasons right now!"

Austin drops the mic and hits right hands on Jericho, Jericho retaliates and the two fall to the mat as Jericho has Austin in a headlock. All of a sudden, security, road agents and referee's starting running down the ramp as Bischoff comes out microphone in hand.

Bischoff: "Whoa whoa whoa whoa, break it up you two, break it up. Damnit, I said break it up. "

Austin and Jericho get held back by the security that has hit the ring.

Bischoff: "There's no way in hell I'm going to let you two go at it tonight, you can forget about it. The last thing I need is one of you injured and not able to compete at the clash of the champions. At the Clash, you two can go ahead and beat the hell out of each other, but not tonight or wednesday night, or Next Monday, or any day for all I'm concerned. Austin, if you even go so far as to touch Chris Jericho, I'll revoke your title shot and give it to the next man in line. And Chris Jericho, if you touch Steve Austin, I'll strip you of that world title! Now you two can knock it off, or face the consequences."

The crowd boo's as Austin and Jericho, who are divided by a crew of refs and officials jaw at one another in the ring.

Low-Ki: "That's right, so?"

O'Haire: "So if you're one of wrestling's brightest young stars, let me ask you this. Why aren't you the leader of this little Ring of Honor rebellion and not Spanky is?"

Low-Ki: "Hell I dunno, don't care either. I let him do his own thing, all you're doing is stirring up trouble. I aint got nothing against the boy,"

O'Haire: "I'm not trying to do anything Ki, rest assured. I'm not out to stir the pot. Hey, if you're cool with playing second fiddle to the guy who holds the only ROH title left in existance, fine with me. I mean, why should I give a damn if everyone considers him the best wrestler to be apart of the ROH invasion. I mean, he was trained by, well, you know"

Low-Ki: "Oh I know, and people can talk all they want, but that don't mean nothin! After I defeat Stevie Richards tonight, I'll go on, and I'll become a champion at the Clash of the Champions, a better champion then Spanky could ever be!"

O'Haire: "I'll look forward to seeing that, I wouldn't expect anything less from you Low-Ki, after all, you are the man. Just watch your back, you never know what that kid is up to!"

O'Haire smiles and puts his glasses back on, walking off, leaving Low-Ki standing there thinking about what he said as he tries to refocus on his workout.

Regal: "Well Sunshine, we all can't get what we want now can we?"

Harris: "What the hell does that suppose to mean?"

Regal: "All my partner Eugene wanted to do was admire your fine cowboy hat, but now you've gone and created a scene haven't you? It'd be wise if you two just left, before I get hands-on around your neck."

Storm: "Is that a challenge Regal?"

Regal: "Maybe it is, what are you going to do about it, give us a non-title match?"

Storm: "You know what old man, you and your stupid partner over there can have a shot at our tag team titles. This Wednesday, on Thunder! You want it, you got it."

Eugene: "We're going to be tag team champions William!"

Regal: "We bloody well may, chap"

Meltzer: "Hello everyone welcome to Thunder, taking over for Tony Schiavone, I'm David Meltzer, and alongside me, is Bobby "The Brain" Heenan.

Heenan: "I just want to know, what happened to that ham and egger Schiavone?"

Meltzer: "Well Brain, Tony's going to be out of action for awhile, he threw his back out sneezing."

Heenan: "Eat your heart out Sammy Sosa! You know what, I'm starting to like you already Meltzer!"

1. Gen Next takes care of business

Pulling the curtain for the show is Gen Next, as all 3 members come out with the lovely Stacey Keibler. They hit the ring and Austin grabs the mic.

Aries: "It appears as though Generation Next is growing again. We figured we'd wait until they made official by winning their match last Sunday. That being said, Jack Evans, come on down!"

Evan's rap theme hits and the eminem like high flyer makes his way to the ring, talking trash all the way to the ring. He shakes Michael Shane and Paul Birchill's hands, kisses the hand of Stacey, and hugs Austin Aries, as the two original members of Gen Next have been reunited. Before Evans can say anything, Chris Sabin's music hits.

<0:52% Austin Aries lost overness from this segment. Jack Evans gained overness from this segment. >

2. Chris Sabin vs Paul Birchill

The reunion tour has been cut a bit short as Sabin continue's his quest to defeat the members of Gen Next after their confrontation a few weeks ago. Tonight he has his hands full with Birchill. Birchill takes the early advantage and damn near dominates the entire match, connecting on a vicious clotheslien that took Sabin inside out and then a standing leg drop that got huge elevation. Birchill was shocked as he only got a two count. Near the end of the match, Sabin started to mount a comeback trail with right hands and then a leg lariat that actually took Birchill down. Evans got onto the apron to argue with the ref, and Michael Shane hits the ring, Shane goes for a superkick, Sabin ducks and SHANE CONNECTS ON BIRCHILL! kick to the stomach and Sabin throws him out of the ring. All Aries and Stacey can do is watch as Sabin scores a the pinfall victory over Birchill and then hightails it out of the ring as Gen Next hits the ring to try to get their hands on them. As he's walking up the ramp, Sabin smiles, and puts two fingers up, he's now defeated two of the members!

3. A sad moment..

Backstage, we see The Hurricane standing by a barrel. He reaches into his pocket and pulls out a matchbook. He lights the whole book and throws it into the barrel and it catches on fire. Hurricane takes off his cape, and his mask, and rolls them up into a little ball. He looks at them one final time before sighing and throwing them into the fire. He takes a good look at the blaze before walking away.

4. Kidman w/ Torrie vs Ultimo Dragon

Kidman, hot off the heels of a title loss is obviously looking to get back to his winning ways as he shakes off his superbrawl loss. Dragon came out to a good response, but this one was still a squash. Kidman took control the whole match, connecting on headscissors, a tilt a whirl backbreaker and a super frankensteiner throughout the course of the match. Dragon tried to fight back, but he was just met with the Kid crusher and a shooting star press for the three count. After the match, Kidman continued the beat down, stomping the head of Dragon until finally Torrie had to come in and get him away from Dragon. Kidman raises his hands in the air as the crowd boo's, he had quite the mean streak in this one.

O'Haire: "So, I take it you're lost in thought."

Spanky: "yeah, what's it to you?"

O'Haire: "I know you, you're that Ring of Honor guy, the pure champion or whatever."

Spanky: "That's right, I'm the biggest star from ROH."

O'Haire: "If you hold the only ROH belt remaining, I'd assume so, but everyone's been raving about that one fellow, Low-Ki I believe it is."

Spanky: "I know. He's got NOTHING on me! I'm Pure champion, not him."

O'Haire: "But you know, next monday, if he wins his match, he'll get to fight for the television title at Clash of the Champions. You're not even booked for the clash, are you?"

Spanky: "Well no. You know what Sean, thank you for enlightening me. I'm not going to live in the shadow of anyone. Hell, I'm the ring of honor leader. Do you know who I was trained by?"

O'Haire: "Oh, I know who you were trained by, I know all about you. I like you kid, you've got something to you, something that Low-Ki or any of those guys don't have. It's good to know that maybe, just maybe, there's someone in this braindead world that appreciates the way I see things."

Spanky: "Oh, I definitely do Sean. Thank, I'm going to go do something about it right now!"

Spanky picks up his Pure title and walks off, leaving Sean standing there. Sean takes off his sunglasses and turns his head, giving off an evil grin.

<0:76% Spanky gained overness from this segment. >

7. Team Canada (Petey Williams and Bobby Roode) vs The Briscoes (Mark and Jay)

The crowd was pretty dead for this one, as both teams are still relatively new to WCW. Jay and Roode started this one out, Roode getting the advantage, who quickly made the tag to Petey Williams. Williams came in and went wild, connecting on a ddt, legdrop and then applying a cross armbar to Jay. Jay fought back, making the tag to Mark.

Tag made to Jay who delivers a couple shots to Williams before connecting on a russian legsweep. Jay misses with a legdrop, and Williams makes the tag to Roode, who comes in like a house of fire with lariats all around the board to Mark and Jay. CANADIAN BOMB TO JAY!!!

After the match, Petey brings a canadian flag into the ring and holds up as the two salute it, getting some boo's from the crowd.

10. The Leader speaks

We see Raven sitting in a dark room, hands folded, and it's apparent he's deep in thought.

Raven: "Fate, it's the darndest thing. Fate can lead you to victory, or it can lead you to misery. As fate would have it Colt Cabana, we both won our matches at Superbrawl. And this Monday, the reprocussions of your victory have allowed you to have a shot against my US Title next Monday. Here's my question to you. If we both won our matches, how come you're rewarded, and not me? Shouldn't I be the one getting the heavyweight title shot at clash of the champions? I defeated TWO men, two men who are two of the best competitors in WCW. Granted, they're not as good as me, but then again, no one is.

Colt Cabana, they call you the funny man. Your childlike humor and antics blended with your heel antics give the crowd a bittersweet feeling towards you. But me? I am the hated, the fans chant in unison when they boo me. I am the unwanted, and they hate it. So why should I huh? Why should I defend my title against someone who I feel is, isn't even in my league? Colt Cabana, this Monday, I'll show you exactly why I am the leader of the flock, why a group just like me, a group of unwanted, unrespected warriors follow my words. I effec them in ways you'lle never know. And This Monday, I'll give you an effect to remember. Quote the Raven, nevermore."

Eric opens up the briefcase and holds the brand new WCW Television title up in the air and the crowd cheers.

Eric: "This right here, this is the WCW Television title. Guys like William Regal and even Steve Austin have held this title. And now, it's time to crown a new television champion.

Cabana: "Triple C" Classic Colt Cabana is in the hizzouse. Mister Bisch, I dunno if you saw, but last night, I made Mr. Steroids Scott Steiner tap out to a simple submission hold. Now, if that doesn't warrant a title shot, I don't know what does!"

CM Punk: "Before you say anything Cabana, I just want you to know that I'm not out here to rain on your parade. You want to go after the US Title, that's fine, but after you defeat Raven, I want to be the first in line to have a shot. Eric, I'm out here to officially enter myself in the television title tournament."

Eric: "Well CM, I'll already have you know I've put you in the tournament, but your first round match isn't tonight. You see, I've decided to book somewhat of a reunion match if you will. Tonight, in this very ring, Eddie Guerrero and Konnan will take on you C.M. Punk, and... COLT CABANA!"

CM and Cabana look at one another. Cabana extends his hand to CM Punk. Punk looks at it for a second, but turns his back.

Matt: "Hi Maria. I wanted to talk to you, I know I told you I was going to win the match for you last night, and I kinda broke my promise. I will beat him, I know I will, but Eric told me Edge didn't show up tonight and that I was in no condition to compete even if he was here."

Maria: "That's alright matt, are you ok?"

Matt: "I'm sore, but I'm alright. But anyways, that's not why I'm here. I kinda bought you a little something on my way to the arena.

Matt reveals the roses to Maria and she looks at them and smiles at Matt. She takes them and smells them

Maria: "They smell good! You didn't have to do this Matt."

Matt: "I wanted to do this Maria. I wanted to make things right again. I screwed up, I need to prove to you that I'm not the man I use to be."

We come back and the ring has been set up for a celebration of some sorts, as Streamers are along the ropes and bouquets of balloons are in the corner. "BREAK THE WALLS DOWN!!!" hits and out comes the champ as the pyro goes off and the fans boo. Jericho does all of his poses as he's dressed like a rockstar, complete with expensive looking leather jacket and sunglasses. Jericho gets in the ring and raises the world title in the air as he stands on the ropes before putting it on his shoulder and grabbing a microphone. Before he can talk, Confetti falls down from the sky and Jericho acts as if he didn't expect it, but it's clear all of this is planned.

Jericho: "Wow, look at this celebration! You guys, you really outdid yourselves, whoevers footing the bill for this one, I thank you from the bottom of my heart! Last night, I once again proved that I truly am, the GREATEST world heavyweight champion ever! In Fact.."

All of a sudden, two guys come out rolling an absolutely  cake to the outside of the ring. The Cake says "CONGRATS Y2J" on the top, they roll it out to ringside and leave. The cake is big enough to well..fit a person inside!

Jericho: "Oh no, I know what this is, I know what this is all about, and rest assured, I'm going to put an end to this. Austin, get out of that cake right now!"

Jericho goes to the outside and examines the cake. He puts a finger on it and scoops some frosting, trying out the cake before spitting it out.

Jericho: "This crap doesn't even taste good!"

Jericho looks at the cake some more before PUNCHING THE CENTER OF IT!!! His arm goes elbow deep into the cake and he feels around, but finds nothing, and pulls his hand out only to see that he's ruined his shirtsleeve. At this time, the same two guys come down to the ring, this time setting a huge wrapped box at the top of the ramp. Jericho walks towards it.

Jericho: "Oh I've seen this before. The gigs up Austin, you're NOT ruining my celebration! You're in that box, I've seen you do it before you son of a bitch!"

The paranoid champ walks up to the box as the crowd is laughing at Jericho making an ass of himself. He looks at the tag, it reads "To Y2J From: Steve". Jericho laughs before ripping one side open, it looks like he can open the box up. Jericho sets the world title down and grabs the flap before slowly opening it and backing off, expecting Austin. Instead, it's just a huge frame! Jericho pulls it out, it's just a big picture of Chris Jericho doing the lionsault to Austin! Jericho takes it and walks back down to the cake, and sets the fame behind the cake on the apron, resting it on the ropes. Jericho gets in the ring.

Jericho: "Alright, maybe I was right, maybe it's just mindgames. Steve isn't here, Austin's too embarrased to show his face eafter losing to Y2J! Yeah, yeah, that's it! I should have known, let's continue! At this time, I owe a big thank you to a group of guys, Zebras in the back, GET OUT HERE!"

Generic WCW music hits and all the referees come down to the ring, all wearing the uniforms and hats. They all stand in a big group.

Jericho: "Last night, you guys made the right call, especially you charles robinson. That Crazed Lunatic Stone Cold was bashing me repeatedly with that chair, and that's not right! I want to thank you so much for continuing to keep justice in WCW!"

"I'M BACK...AND BETTER THEN EVER!" hits and the boss comes out yet again. He stands atop the ramp as Jericho looks a bit angry he's being interrupted.

Eric: "I'm sorry to ruin your little celebration Jericho, but I have another announcement to make. You see, last night, you may have won the match, but your not fooling anyone if you think you won cleanly. Steve Austin was wrongfully disqualified, you not only screwed over him, but you screwed over the fans! And you know what Jericho, the fans want to you see you two fight until there's a true winner, not a cheap victory! That is why, at CLASH OF THE CHAMPIONS, you Chris Jericho, will defend the heavyweight title against STONE COLD STEVE AUSTIN! And to make sure there's no funny business, I'M GOING TO BE THE SPECIAL ENFORCER!"

The crowd pops hard at the newly announced clash of the champions main event. Jericho loses it, but quickly gains his composure.

Jericho: "You know what Eric, that's fine, that's fine, I'll beat Austin again, no sweat. And special enforcer? You assclown, these refs can do their job, they don't need you to stand at ringside and watch them"

Jericho walks up to one of the refs, he has a scraggley beard and long hair and looks rather old.

Jericho: "Hey you, new guy, I haven't seen you around, but I assume you can do a good job right? What's your name?"

Ref: "Bob."

Jericho: "Well zebra bob, you don't need this man's assistance do you."

Bob: "Oh Hell no!"

Jericho immediately takes off his sunglasses. He grabbs the guys beard and RIPS IT OFF, IT'S STONECOLD!!! Stone Cold immediately hammers Jericho as the crowd cheers. Austin with right hands. Kick to the stomach. Austin goes for a stunner, Jericho pushes him off. Austin hits the ropes and comes back, but grabs Jerichos hand and whips him the same direction Austin just came from, BACK BODY DROP OVER THE TOP ROPE RIGHT ONTO THE CAKE!!!! Jericho is a mess as the cake is completely ruined, Jericho laying on top of it. Austin's music hits and he walks to the ropes and flips Jericho off a few times as he just lays there covered in cake! Bischoff laughs at the top of the ramp as we fade out to our final scene of Jericho, looking like he's about to cry!

**FFX Spoilers***

FFX is the only game that put me in tears a number of times.

The end was just the saddest, by far. But in the end, it left hope, when you saw Tidus swimming. I never played FFX-I, so I don't know how that all went. Also, the "I hate you" to Jecht thing as well. Also, the scene where they're in the water that one night, but it was a happy crying.

man, Attitude was some of the funnest moments I had with wrestling games. In attitude, the gameplay wasn't the best, but you could make literally ANYONE without putting a lot of time into them. It was cool because me and my friend made four of our teachers, made a bet, put them all on CPU and had a 4 way match to see who won.

WCW SuperBrawl

Sunday, February 26th, 2006

<=:=><=:=>Free Per view<=:=><=:=>

Mean Gene: "Hello everyone and welcome to WCW Super Brawl free per view. We have a great show for you tonight, but before we began, let's run down the list of matches scheduled for tonight."

We see a brief 15 minute rundown of all the matches on tonights card.

Mean Gene: "And now we want to take you to a sitout interview conducted by David Meltzer earlier today with the WCW Heavyweight champion Chris Jericho, can we roll that footage?"

A video plays, Chris Jericho and David meltzer are sitting in obviously a set up room, Jericho has the championship belt sitting on his lap.

Meltzer: "Chris first off, thank you for agreeing to this interview, I know you have a lot going on and your time is quite valuable, so I appreciate it."

Jericho: "No problem junior, I like to give back to the fans every now and then, after all, they are the ones going to all my Fozzy concerts and helping me establish superstardom!"

Meltzer: "Now Chris, you've been heavyweight champion for five months running, that's quite a feat."

Jericho: "I don't think anyone would expect less of Chris Jericho to be quite honest with you. In fact, if I were to lose to someone like an Eddie Guerrero or Booker T, I'd call it a travesty in professional wrestling. The fans have come to expect more from the most greatest, most charismatic wrestler in the world."

Meltzer: "That's a pretty bold statement don't you think?"

Jericho: "No, I don't think for one second it is you assclown. Look at my recent accomplishments, I defeated Hulkamania, HULKAMANIA meltzer. 20 years of domination in professional wrestling, defeated by me, the ayatollah! All my career, I've been an underdog. No one thought I was WCW cruiserweight champino material, but I brought prestige and entertainment to that belt. No one thought that I was heavyweight champion material, and I beat argueably the two biggest stars in the sport at the time, The Rock and Steve Austin, in the same night none the less. All my career, I've ben the underdog, everyone expects me to choke when it comes to the big matches, but I ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS prevail."

Meltzer: "That's definitely not deniable. Now I want to address some rumor."

Jericho: "Ah yes, the internet smarks, one of wrestling's darker sides."

Meltzer: "There are rumors of your band Fozzy, doing a world tour soon in the coming months. Any chance that will affect your wrestling career?"

Jericho: "Nothing's set in stone as of right now. Being the media conglomerate that I am, me and my band, Fozzy, who are about to release our fourth album, have been in talks to do a major world tour spanning the course of some months. But rest assured, private planes will be available for Y2J to fly to Nitro every monday. Y2J is a defending champion when it comes to the heavyweight title. I've done it all Meltzer, and I'm only looking to do one thing, and that is, to smash Bruno Sammartino's 8 year reign as heavyweight champion."

Meltzer: "Do you actually think you can remain champion for 8 years?"

Jericho: "8 years? Oh no, I'm looking for much longer then 8 years David, 10, 12, 15? Chris Jericho is going to remain on top of the world the way Hulkamania didn't, as world heavyweight champion! And I guarantee this, after I defeat Austin tonight, you will never, evvvvvver, underestimate me, again!"

<0:98%>

Meltzer: "Well folks, you heard it here, Chris Jericho says he's looking to hold onto that title for some time, but tonight, he takes on an angry rattlesnake in Stone Cold Steve Austin! Gene, back to you"

Mean Gene: "Well folks, that about wraps it up for our Free per view event, you have to order Super Brawl, because it starts now!!!"

<=:=><=:=>Intro video<=:=><=:=>

Hells Bells by AC/DC plays throughout the arena long after the intro video has finished and we're treated to a huge array of fireworks at the top of the entrance ramp. The arena is setup fairly modestly, nothing too special for the setup of the arena, with the exception of the three circle trons that sit horizontally above the entrance area.

Meltzer: "HELLO LADIES AND GENTLEMEN and welcome to superbrawl! Thank you for ordering, we're glad you could be with us tonight, what a great event it should be."

Coach: "That's right Meltzer, 7 huge matchups tonight, lives are on the line tonight, grudges will be settled and all the belts are on the line tonight, but more importantly, we're on the road to The Clash!"

Meltzer: "Well tonights events should definitely make the future a little more clear as we're less then 4 weeks away from The Clash of the champions!

Spanky comes out alone to a good reception, he points to the entrance area, and out come his partners, Low-Ki, James Gibson, Jack Evans and Alex Shelley!!!

4. Chris Sabin vs Michael Shane

Sabin comes out first to a mixed reaction, as they're not sure what he's up to, as he's a heel, but he's feuding with Gen Next, a heel faction. Shane comes out next with Aries at his side. A great match here which saw many pinfalls in the opening minutes before Sabin slowed the pace down with a leg grapevine. Shane went for the superkick early following a ducked clothesline, but Sabin ducked, tripped Shane and grabbed the legs, flipping over for a two count that Shane powered out of and into a double underhook suplex on Sabin! Only a two count as Austin yells at the ref to count faster.

As he got to his feet, Shane attempted the superkick, but Sabin ducked and hit CRADLE SHOCK for the 1-2-3. Aries slid into the ring, but Sabin ran away before a double team could happen. Sabin smiled as he walked up the ramp, making gestures as if he was telling Austin "one down, two to go." Aries consoles Shane in the ring while looking up at Sabin.

Quick, I just saw a little kid twist his knee over there, you better go help him! Haha, just kidding man, I wouldn't want you to go help him anyways, if you know what I mean! Man, you must feel awful, I can only imagine the things that are running through your head. Just remember, if you're gonna do it, it's across the road, not down the street!

Hurricane doesn't even bother to look up, and just gives a sigh

O'Haire: "I'm only kidding, suicide isn't an option Hurricane, after all, superhero's don't die right? Hey, how's Animal doing, broken back and all, I feel bad for the guy send my regards. How could you let those two do that to him Shane, he's a helpless old man! Shane, do you realize that you helped end the career of the only roadwarrior left? And think about Paul Ellering, what's he going to do now that his best friend can't wrestle? He might not have a job here once Eric realizes that there's no point in paying him to do nothing! Well Shane? What do you have to say for yourself?

Hurricane stands up, back turned to Sean. It looks as if he's going to turn around and tell him something, but instead he just walks away.

O'Haire: "It's alright Shane, I'll call you later tonight and make sure you don't do anything to hurt yourself! By the way, get a haircut, you look ridiculous!!"

O'Haire laughs evilly to himself as we fade out with him watching Hurricane walk away slowly.
