WCW MONDAY NIGHT NITRO
Sunday, December 26th, 2005
<=:=><=:=>Starcade recap video<=:=><=:=>
<=:=><=:=>Intro and Pyro<=:=><=:=>
Meltzer: "Hell everyone and welcome to Nitro! What a Starcade it was, wouldn't you say coach?"
Coach: "Yes indeed, what a way to celebrate Christmas with a bang."
Meltzer: "And guess what Coach, two titles changed hands last night."
Coach: "But my man, Y2J, is still champ!"
Meltzer: "Speaking of champs, here's one of our new champs now!"
BILLY KIDMAN© VS JODY FLEISCH, CRUISERWEIGHT TITLE MATCH
Kidman comes out on the shoulders of Reese, holding the cruiserweight title up in the air to a series of boo's. Fleisch didn't get much of a response when he first came to the ring. The bell sounds and here we go. In the early going Fleisch was simply too fast for Kidman, delivering a snapmare and a dropkick to the back of the head to take control. However, Fleisch didn't retain control for very long, as Reese was there to distract him by grabbing his leg and overall being a menace on the outside. Finally, Fleisch had had enough of it. Kidman whipped him into the ropes, and Fleisch did a cannonball over the top, taking out Reese! Fleisch got back on the apron, but Kidan knee'd him in the gut and vertical suplexed him inside the ring. Kidman went up top, trying for a shooting star press, but Fleisch moved out of the way, sending Kidman crashing to the mat. Fleisch hits a headscissors takeover and goes to the outside. He springboards off the top , twisting for the 720 DDT, But Kidman catches him with a variation of the kid Crusher, slamming him face first into the canvas. Kidman rolls him over for the 1-2-3 pinfall victory. Kidman exits via Reese's shoulders, letting everyone know it's the Kidman era for the cruiserweight division.
WINNER: BILLY KIDMAN
<M:92% C:48% O:70%>
Backstage, we see Matt Hardy and Maria, having a heated conversation. Matt has a pretty big bandage on his head from the match with Edge last night.
Matt: "Maria, why won't you listen to me?"
Maria: "Why should I? You cheated on me! You're a liar!"
Matt: "I know, I know, I know what I did and I wasn't thinking. I wasn't thinking Maria, it happens to all of us. What I did to you was wrong, I know that. I want to make it up to you, I want to prove to you that I'm changed. I want us to be back together."
Maria: "Matt, I'm just so confused, give me time, give us time. More then anything I wish we could go back to the way things were, but I don't know, just let me think."
Maria walks away and through a door, leaving Matt standing there.
<0:74% Maria Kanellis gained overness from this segment. >
Out of nowhere, Edge attacks Matt from behind! Edge delivers right hands to Matt, who is still shaken up from the attack. Edge throws Matt hardy onto some boxes and metal poles and whatnot, he hits the wall hard. Edge stomps away on Hardy, but not before long road agents come and break it up.
Edge: "This isn't over, this isn't over by a longshot you son of a bitch. You and Maria, you're through!"
Matt is left clutching his head as Edge walks away with a sadistic smile.

<=:=><=:=>Commercial Break<=:=><=:=>
Meltzer: "That damn Edge, always taking the cheap way out. Well folks, this next one should be interesting, considering Sean O'Haire and Homicide, two men that hate each other, have to team up to take on Al Snow and Big Vito!"
AL SNOW AND BIG VITO VS SEAN O'HAIRE AND HOMICIDE
Snow and Vito out first to some boo's from the crowd. Vito is starting to look quite buff these days. Homicide out first for the opposite team and gets a few cheers from the crowd. O'Haire comes out without Stacey, which leads to more boo's then usual. Homicide and O'Haire argue about who's starting, and finally it's Homicide and Snow starting this one out. The crafty vet with an early headlock to take control, but it didn't last long after an irish whip, snow tried to shoulder tackle Homicide! Snow hit the ground instead, that didn't work so well and Snow backs off, making the tag to Vito. Vito and Homicide square off in the middle of the ring, before Vito gets the upperhand following right hands. Huge delayed vertical suplex by Vito, followed up by a huge legdrop for a pin that gets broken up by O'haire. Irish whip by vito, but Homicide comes back and hits a dropkick on Vito. tag made to O'Haire and Homicide puts Vito across his knee. O'Haire up and over the top rope with a knee to the chest of Vito!
Bodyslam by O'haire followed by an irish whip then a powerslam as Snow has to break up the pin. O'haire goes to kick Vito, but Vito grabs the foot and spins him around and follows it up with a back suplex. Tag made to Snow, who comes in via a springboard dropkick to Homicide, which shows Snow's great athleticism. Bulldog by Snow, who goes up top, looking for the moonsault midmatch! Homicide back to his feet and crotches Snow up top. Russian leg sweep/back suplex sort of slam off the top rope by Homicide as the fans cheer. Both superstars are looking to get to their corners now. Tag made to Vito from snow, and Homicide goes to tag O'Haire, but O'Haire drops down to the floor from the apron, not allowing Homicide to tag him! Homicide rolls under the ropes and begans to argue with O'Haire, asking him what his problem is. It looks ike O'haires going to just walk away from the match...SUPERKICK BLINDSIDES HOMICIDE!!! O'haire rolls Homicide into the ring as the fans boo. The ref isn't even sure what's going on anymore, but in the ring, Vito just delivered a sickening gutwrench sitout powerbomb to Homicide which gets the 3 count easily, as Snow and Vito are confused by O'Haire's actions. O'Haire has now walked up the ramp, back turned as the ref counted the three.
WINNERS: AL SNOW AND BIG VITO
<M:84% C:46% O:65% Sean O'Haire's turn didn't work very well, and that affected the crowd. Sean O'Haire lost overness from this turn. Sean O'Haire is now a Tweener. >
Backstage, we see the flock, along with Raven, who has the microphone.
Raven: "Tonight is the dawning of a new era for the flock. You see, last night, Billy Kidman became the first flock member to capture WCW gold. That belt means he's the best cruiserweight in all of the world, let alone WCW. And a little later on, the noble Steven Richards will become the next minion of my crusade of darkness to capture gold, when he defeats Christian and brings the US Title to the darkside. We won't stop there, we'll go after the tag team titles, because after all, the Flock is the closest, most tight niche' team there is in WCW. Finally, we'll go for the biggest of them all, the World Heavyweight title, but only when the time is right. It's all part of Raven's master plan. Quote the Raven, nevermore."
The Flock walk off the screen together as we head to commercial.

<=:=><=:=>Commercial Break<=:=><=:=>
We come back from commercial and sinister creation are already in the ring, complete with Sinister Minister, who has a microphone. Tajiri and Whipwreck have the tag belts around their waists.
Sinister Minister: "I said it would happen, and none of you believed me. No one thought we could do it, but we did. We beat the Legion of doom. And how you might ask, how were we able to beat Hurricane and Animal? We beat, I beat them, using mindgames. The attacks, the theft of the tag team belts, the conspiracy that Paul Ellering was behind all of it, that was all me, Sinister Minister. Now that our reign has begun, nothing is going to stop it. Not the legion of doom, not the second city saints, nothing!"
"WHATTTT A RUSHHHHHHH" hits and out comes the Legion, with Ellering right along side of them. All 3 get in the ring, obviously not scared of Sinister Creation. Ellering snatches the mic right out of Minister's hand.
Ellering: "Don't include the fact that you had to cheat on top of those mindgames to win. You see, the Legion of Doom is all about ass kicking, but we're also about playing fairly. And last night, that's not what happened Sinister Minister. Your presence alone cost us the tag team titles. But that's ok. I've already spoke to Eric Bischoff, and in two weeks, we get our rematch, and we will prevail. But as for tonight, TONIGHT, We're looking for revenge!"
Hurricane and Animal attack Whipwreck and Tajiri, gaining the upper hand on them. They make quick work of them, throwing them both over the ropes, leaving Sinister Minister alone with the three of them. He tries to escape, but it's no good, and Animal grabs him, holding his arms. He pleas, but it's inaffective as Ellering delivers a low blow kick right to Minister. Animal tosses him out of the ring and the crowd cheers L.O.D as they celebrate in the ring.

Backstage, we see Diamond Dallas Page and the crowd immediately pops at the sight of him. DPP is looking through his locker for something. "IT'S ME, IT'S ME, IT'S DDP!" an unknown voice calls out. DDP turns around, it's KANYON!
DDP: "It's been awhile kid..."
Kanyon: "Sure has old man. The invasion to be exact."
DDP: "You look good, I heard rehab did a lot for you."
Kanyon: "Yeah yeah, I got over some bad habbits. But hey, I got even better news."
DDP: "What's that?"
Kanyon: "The Chris Kanyon retirement tour is officially off!"
DDP: "You're returning the ring fulltime?"
Kanyon: "Yep, that's right, you know what that means?"
DDP and Kanyon: "JERSEY BOY'S RIDE AGAIN!"
DDP: "This is great man, it's good to have someone watching my back."
Kanyon: "And hey... WHO BETTA DEN KANYON?"
The crowd pops at the reuniting of Kanyon and DDP.
<0:72% Chris Kanyon debuted his new gimmick (old school face), it got a negative response. >

CHRISTIAN© VS STEVIE RICHARDS, US TITLE MATCH
Who's booking this thing anyways? I suppose since Austin is no longer commish, the flock might actually get some title shots. Stevie comes out accompanied by Raven and Lodi, and they receive huge boo's. Christian out next to a very strong pop. This one starts out, and as you could probably guess, Christian takes control early on the matchup with a sideheadlock. Stevie whips him off the ropes to get out of the hold, but he's met with a shoulder block. Christian hits the ropes, but Raven lowbridges the top rope and Christian goes up and over, but lands on his feet. Christian attacks Raven and Lodi, delivering right hands before getting back in the ring, and Richards gets the advantage by landing a legdrop to the back of Christian's head as he was getting back in the ring.
Hiptoss by richards who follows up with an armbar before applying the reverse chinlock. Christian gets to his feet and backs Richards into the corner. Christian delivers 10 punches in the corner before setting Richards uptop and hitting a final huge haymaker. Christian climbs up top, but Raven gets on the ring apron. Richards low blows Christian and wraps his arm around his head as Christian falls off the turnbuckle back onto the ring canvas. Tornado DDT by richards, here's the pin, 1-2-kickout! Richards picks up Christian and irish whips him, Christian ducks the clothesline, falling inverted DDT! Here's the cover, 1-2-Kickout. Christian goes up. crossbody attempt, but STEVIE GETS THE STEVIE KICK OFF!!! Stevie lays on the canvas while Lodi and Raven shout at him to make the cover. Here's the cover... 1....2...NO! Christian gets the shoulder up at the last second. Lodi gets on the apron to argue with the ref, but Christian uses it to his advantage and nails Richards with a low blow! Christian underhooks him, UNPRETTIER!!! Here's the cover, 1-2-RAVEN DIVES ONTO THE REF!! The ref has thrown this one out as a DQ for Richards, but I don't think he cares to much. Lodi in the ring now and he attacks Christian. Triple team to Christian now as the ref is trying to break it up. RAVEN EFFECT TO THE REF!!! Lodi goes outside and grabs a chair. Raven takes the chair and sets it on the canvas. Kick to the stomach, Raven Effect to Christian on the chair!!!
Raven goes to the outside and grabs a microphone.
Raven: "Christian, this isn't over, it's just begun. You're a disgrace to that title Christian. Think about it. United States title, YOU DUMB CANADIAN!!"
Raven, lodi and Richards leave as Christian has been busted open in the ring.
WINNER: CHRISTIAN (by dq)

EDDIE GUERRERO AND KONNAN VS CM PUNK AND REY MYSTERIO
Eddie and Konnan comes out first, Eddie looks to be in a sour mood following last night. Rey comes out next, followed by CM, I can't tell who got a bigger pop there as they're both pretty even. Rey and Konnan start this one off, Konnan getting the early control and quickly tagging to Eddie, who is seemingly taking all his agression out on Rey in the ring. Hard stomps to the face by Eddie before picking up rey and delivering one hell of a powerbomb. Eddie takes his time in the ring before going to the outside. Eddie misses the senton and Rey fights back with right hands, but he quickly gets cut down by an Eddie Guerrero knee the gut. Eddie looks to be going for another powerbomb, but Rey breaks free and hits a DDT! Rey tries to make the tag to CM, but Eddie grabs rey's leg and hit's a dragon screw and applying a single legged boston crab as the fans boo Eddie. Tag made to Konnan. Double irish and Konnan and Eddie put their heads down. Rey kicks Konnan in the face, and dropkicks Eddie. Eddie goes stumbling out of the ring and Rey huts an enziguri on Konnan. Rey crawls to his corner before making the tag to CM Punk.
CM Punk is a house of fire now, going to work on Konnan with right hands. Irish whip followed by a back body drop and CM is fired up! Legdrop to Konnan, followed by a second. Eddie comes in ring, running at CM, but CM uses Eddie's own momentum against him as he throws him over the top rope. PEPSI TWIST to Konnan. CM goes up top, crooked legged Moonsault. Tag made to Rey. CM Punk with an irish whip and a drop toe hold, Konnan lands on the ropes. 619!!! Rey stands on the apron, going for the west coast pop, but Eddie pulls him off and irish whips him right into the stairs. CM goes up top and dives off the top rope onto Eddie, but Eddie catches him and rams him backfirst into the ringpost. Eddie rolls Rey back in the ring. In the ring, Konnan applies the Tequila sunrise to Rey while works CM over on the outside. Rey has no choice but to tap out in the middle of the ring. A strong showing for a vicious Los Mexicanos.
WINNER: LOS MEXICANOS

"BREAK THE WALLS DOWNNNN" and out comes the world champ to a thunderous ovation of boo's. He's really hated here too, but that's the case everywhere we go. Jericho does all his poses with the world title, before getting in the ring and grabbing the mic.
Y2J: "Last night, Christmas came to Y2J in the form of a pinfall victory. You see, last night, I may have won the match, but this time, it was different. Not only did I overcome the odds against Eddie Guerreo, who, let me tell you, put on one hell of a match, but I also had to overcome another jackass, Scott Steiner! But I've seen this before, hell, I've defeated 3 men in the same night before, so why would Eddie and Steiner think that them two alone could defeat Y2J. 91 days now I've held this world title after destroying Hulkamania, 91 days. That's 3 months, a fourth of a year, a third of one of these ugly, trashing, skanky girl's pregnancies in the arena tonight. That is, if they don't have a miscarrage due to all the drugs they take! (cheap heat from the crowd). Look at this guy over here, he looks downright miserable sitting here with his girlfriend. Don't worry though, I'd feel just as bad if I had to sit next to THAT! ugh!
But I'm not out here to tell you about the supermodels The Highlight of the night has waiting in the back for him or the lucious lifestyle I lead. I'm out here to make a point, and the point is this. I've defeated Tajiri, I've defeated Christian, I've defeated Benoit, and now, added to that already impressive list, is you Eddie Guerero. 2006 is the year of Y2J, so buy stock while you can.. beca.."
Scott Steiner's music hits and the crowd cheers, glad someone finally shut Jericho up! Steiner walks fearlessly into the ring and grabs a microphone.
Steiner: "So Chris, you think your a badass huh?
Y2J: "Yeah, I do. I'm the highl..."
Steiner: "I'll tell you what you are, you're a stupid piece of ****. And let me tell you something Jericho, you may have walked out of Starcade with the belt, but you also walked out a man on borrowed time! You see, You haven't fought someone like Big Poppa Pump, The genetic Freak Scott Steiner. You've been fighting these wussy boy's like yourself. It's about time you fight a real man."
Y2J: "Steiner, are you forgetting who I won the title from? Hulk Hogan, the 24 inch pythons, Hulkamania, the biggest phenominon in professional wrestling."
Steiner: "That may be so, and I give you all the credit in the world, but let ME tell YOU something. Hulk Hogan is my friend, me and him, we got way back into NWO days, days when you were still jockying for position in the cruiserweight division with that fat slop ralphus at your side. Meanwhile, I was winning United States championships and hanging out with real superstars. And now you're prancing around with the world title, which you won from Hulk Hogan. I know, that if it was up to Hogan, He'd want me to be the man to defeat you for that world title, and that's exactly what I'm going to do!"
Y2J: "Real touching Scott, real touching. Now if you would please just SHUT THE HELL UP for once second, I could tell you something, Junior. No one..."
<0:89%>
GLASS SHATTERS!!!! Out comes the rattle snake and Jericho is upset he's been interrupted. Austin walks with a purpose as he makes his way to the ring. He poses on all four turnbuckles, staring holes in Steiner and Jericho. Finally, Austin rips the microphone from Jericho's hand.
Austin: "I'm sitting backstage, listening to you two shoot your little insults at one another, drinking a beer, and then I realize that we're about to go off the air, so I figured I better come out here and interrupt you two bastards and make my announcement. Last night, I beat that son of a bitch Raven. Then, as soon as old Stone Cold was about to go to the back and celebrate, Eric Bischoff tells me that I'm no longer fit to be WCW's commissioner. While I must admit, I did have a good time, Eric Bischoff and the board of directors is right, I'm not fit to be a commissioner. You see, the last four months, I've competed at pay per view event against Raven and his group of sorry ass sons of bitches. Everywhere I go, and everyone I see asks me, "Stone Cold, are you ever going to go after Chris Jericho?" and I tell them, "I don't know."
A couple years ago, the doctors adviced me to retire from active competition. Now, I obliged, I swallowed my pride and took their advice, knowing they had been right when the late great Owen Hart broke my neck. But the last few months, I've had a fire building up inside of me, something that I haven't felt in long time. And after my matches, Stone Cold didnt' wake up with the same pain in his knees or back that he did before he stopped wrestling. So last night, I took a drive and started thinking. I realized that I'm already pretty messed up, broken neck and bad knee and all. And I made a decision. As of this moment, you can consider Steve Austin back on the roster the next WCW HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION."
Austin kicks Jericho in the Stomach, STUNNER! Austin turns around, kicks Steiner in the stomach, STUNNER!!"
Austin: "And that's the bottom line, Cause Stone Cold SAID SO!"
Austin's music hits and the crowd goes absolutely nuts at the huge bombshell Austin just dropped. We fade out with Stonecold posing on the top turnbuckle with Meltzer doing his best Jim Ross impersonation.

Cactus leads Marc to another part of the boiler room, and here we see a huge generator that has stairs on each side of it and a pile of scrapwood.

We, the board of WCW, condem Steve Austin's actions as commissioner. It is our responsbility to keep the utmost safety of our performers above everything else, and we feel that Steve Austin is a major risk to that promise.

WCW WINS WAR, SENDS ECW REELING.

RAVEN FINDS RELIGION
It is being said that Raven has appeared to be a changed man following his newly found relgious ways.. whatever that means.
WCW RELEASES TOP NAME
We have gotten word that World Championship Wrestling has bought out Mark Jindrak's contract, leaving the door open for a future return. Following the Jindrak-O'Haire split, many felt it was due to Jindrak not having the ability to get over with the fans as well as his in-ring work not improving. WCW wishes him the best of luck in all his endeavors and certainly is open to a return at a later date.

<=:=><=:=>Intro and Pyro<=:=><=:=>
"I'm back and better then ever.." hits and out comes the boss before Meltzer even has a chance to welcome us to Nitro. Bischoff comes out to a mixed reaction before getting in the ring and grabbing a microphone.
Bischoff: "So we've reached the end of the year. It's been a great year for me, let me tell you, running WCW has been the best experience in the world. But that's not why I'm out here, I'm out here to take care of some business. First, this sunday, we've got a little pay per view called Starcade. Well, I made some promises last week, and I have to stay true to them, so I've granted the requests of CM Punk and Matt Hardy and at Starcade, Matt will take on Edge and CM will take on Austin Aries in singles competition! Also, I've signed another match, a 4 corners match for the cruiserweight title featuring Ruckus, Elix Skipper, Billy Kidman and Sonny Siaki! Well, now that that is taken care of, there's one more piece of business I need to attend to.
Recently, I've scouted the industry, and I've discovered 4 potential guys that I can bring to my organization, WCW. Now, I put some thought into it, and I decided that I'd rather ask my fans who they think I should sign. So who do you want to see in WCW, first we have, WWE Raw Superstar Tyson Tomko! (crowd boo's), WWE Smackdown superstar Orlando Jordan (crowd boo's), My very own nephew, ugh.. Eugene (crowd cheers) , or the largest man in sports entertainment today, The Big Show (crowd neutral). You can vote by logging into WCW.COM after the show and voting for who you think I should steal from the clutches of WWE, just like I've done in the past. And Vince, there's nothing you can do to stop me!"
Bischoff music hits and the crowd is in utter shock after this announcement as we go to commercial break.

COLT CABANA AND ACE STEEL VS AIR PARIS AND PAUL BIRCHALL
Cabana and Steel were accompanied to the ring by Adam Pearce, who proved to be a nuisance at ringside by choking Paris on the bottom rope in the early going. Cabana took control in the early going, countering nearly everything both Paris and Birchall could throw at him and looking very impressive. Finally, Birchall was able to hit a lariat that took the wind out of him. Midmatch, Birchall was in control of Steel, working the arm over and isolating him in the opposite corner. In the end though, Pearce's presence was just too much for Air Raid to overcome as after grabbing Paris's leg, Birchall attacked him on the outside, allowing Cabana to hit the Colt45 for the pinfall victory. After the match, all 3 men beat down Birchall and Paris before leaving.

Edge: "Hi Maria!"
Maria: "umm, Hi"

Whiskey's music hits and Marc stands out on the top of the entrance ramp.
Cactus: "I have to admit, you kicked my ass pretty good last month Marc, you really gave it to me by throwing me off the top of that cage. Me and you, we're not fit for a wrestling ring anymore. That's why, this Sunday, I want you Whiskey Marc, in a boiler room Brawl!"
Whiskey: "Just when I thought that I had taken out the trash, it comes back. Last week, you cost me the WCW United States title Cactus. If you're expecting me to deny your challenge, then you're wrong pal, you're dead wrong. And this Sunday, you're going to beg me forgiveness when I cripple you inside of that boiler room."

Ellering: "Sinister Creation, you stole something that don't belong to you, nor will EVER belong to you. And this sunday, we're coming for them, we're going to take back our gold after we kick your asses"
Animal: "Actually Paul, me and Hurricane made a decision. We think that this Sunday, we'd rather be out there, alone, in the tag team title match. Too many funny things have happened lately Paul."
Ellering: "What? Are you questioning my faith to you guys? It's mindgames by the sinister creation that's leading you to believe this, I'm telling you, YOU NEED ME OUT THERE, Sinister Minister will be at ringside."
Hurricane: "We know full well that he'll be at ringside Paul, and we trust you, we just, don't want you there this Sunday."
Ellering: "Well, fine, if that's how it has to be, if you guys want to do this yourselfs, alright. But just remember, Sinister Creation are a very deadly team, and without me, you guys are at a greater risk to lose the title for goods this time."
Ellering walks off one way as the Legion of Doom walk off the other and there's obviously unrest between the tag champs and their manager.

- RATINGS -
Primetime:
WWE - 6.03
WCW - 5.85
ECW - 5.41
TNA - 3.14
TNA rebounds by climbing a few points, and the rest of the industry is about the same. WWE has been nearing that 6 mark lately, which Eric Bischoff has to love.
WCW TO MAKE MORE CUTS?
Rumors are running rampant that WCW may in fact make an additional 2 to 5 cuts from their roster before the end of the year. There are rumors that possibly two major stars may be on their ways out! NODQ now believes that these cuts along with recent ones are inspired by a much larger plan of Eric Bischoff's
ECW AND WCW NECK AND NECK
It is being said by many industry experts that WCW and ECW are currently in a PI war and are both sitting firmly at 11% PI and rising. This has been quite the battle, with neither side able to land a devasting blow to the other.
RUMOR PATROL
An absolutely huge rumor here that NODQ has the honor of squashing. On ECW Hardcore TV last night, Paul Heyman stated that he was in the process of signing both Bret Hart and Low-Ki to longterm deals. We can confirm that Heyman hasn't even made contact with the two, as Low-ki could not compete for a global promotion due to foreign obligations and Bret Hart simply has no interest in returning to professional wrestling at this time, much less ECW.

Coach: "You can't deny the fact that WCW has the worlds best cruiserweight division!"

Razzle Dazzle by Ruckus! Ruckus distracts the ref and Kidman grabs Skippers neck and chokes him on the top rope. All of a sudden, the cruiserweight champ, Sonny Siaki comes running down and spins Kidman around and starts delivering right hands before hitting the Siak Bottom on the outside to kidman. At this time, Skipper is fighting back in the ring when all of a sudden he hits the Play of the Day out of nowhere and covers for the 1-2-3 Victory.

Backstage, we see Chris Jericho standing by with Mean Gene, who simply hands Jericho the mic and walks off, not wanting to put up with the egotistical jackass.
Y2J: "I know what everyone want's to know, and let me tell you, I'm just as disgusted as you are. The way Scott Steiner turned on me last week (crowd pop) was the most tasteless thing that assclown could have done. Of course, if he hadn't attacked the lucious face of Y2J, I could have easily defeated those two burritos who painted the town brown after beating me last week. But that's ok, that's ok, Eddie Guerrero, take your little victory and run with it, because I guarantee that's the only pinfall you'lle ever get on me Junior.
But no, that's not why I'm here, Scott Steiner, tonight, I get a chance for payback, against you in a non-title match. Scotty Boy, the genetic freak, the only reason why your biceps are so large is because you're clearly accomidating from something thats soooo soooo soooo small, I wonder what it could be. Hmm, well, obviously at your age, if your still wrestling, your bank account must be pretty small. Your ego? Oh, no, that's as large as Y2J's mansion. Hmm, what could it be, your brain? Well, I'd guess that if I didn't already know that you don't have one. Anyways, Scott, tonight, you face Chris Jericho, a man who's done it all in the wrestling business, and tonight, you're just another piece of fresh meat thrown in the way of the lionheart!"

Raven: "Damn you Eric. I want Austin, I don't care when, I dont' care how, I want Austin in a match, to settle this once and for all."
Eric: "Ok, you know what, I'll give you that. At Starcade, Raven, you will take on Steve Austin, in a dog collar match! That way, neither of you can get away from one another, neither one of you can throw each other off a roof without the other one following, how does that sound?
Raven: "Thank you Eric, you've proved that you aren't the worthless peasent I've thought you were all these months"
Raven walks out of Bischoff's office as Bischoff apparently looks a bit offended by that last comment.

yeah, that's right crossface, he wanted her to stacey out of it, I.E. Leave and go screw one of the other wrestlers. :-)
Actually, yeah, clean mistake on my part. I'll probably do that quite a bit, I get really ahead of myself when I type.. I can type at like, 120 words a minute or something like that, and since I make up the entire show while I'm typing, with the exception of the booking (the segments are preplanned before I write), I make quite a few errors. I also type it out in notepad, since I have a grudge against Word.
And hells yeah ECW Sold out, I was hoping TNA would get some of those guys on writtend deals ECW has in the beginning of the game, because TNA did start out global and bigger then ECW. Meh, oh well, in like 4 months gametime I'll probably just be able to buy out TNA, once they drop to regional.
Also, I wanted to use this post to announce I'll be doing some sort of end of the year awards show. I'll probably post the categories and how it works and all that after the Nitro after Starcade, and give a week (real life) of voting time through PM's, then announce winners. I'm considering incorporating the winners into title matches and whatnot..
anyways, expect a Nitro later tonight, and segments even later

Primetime:
WWE - 6.04
WCW - 5.90
ECW - 5.47
TNA - 3.09
An interesting week this week, everyone's ratings drops just a little, except WCW's, which is due to Nitro obviously being one of the best shows in recent memory.
HOMICIDE MOVING UP
Homicide will be moving up from the lower-midcard to the midcard following a decent showing since his debut. The fans are all over his style and sources say that bringing him in as a face while remaining true to his original gimmick was a great idea by WCW booking.
ADAM PEARCE DEBUTS
It looks as though Adam Pearce will be the latest member of Colt Cabana's Second City Saints following his interference on their behalf on Nitro. We didn't expect Pearce to debut this early. After his debut, Adam Pearce talked to us in an interview, saying he had found a new religous side and saying he was a new man.
MORE WCW CUTS!
WCW cuts more wrestlers this week as Brian Lawler and Lash Leroux's contracts have both been terminated. We here at Nodq aren't sure what's motivating these cuts, but it must be something big, as WCW is a financially solid company

WCW MONDAY NIGHT NITRO
Monday, December 5th, 2005
<=:=><=:=>Intro and Pyro<=:=><=:=>
Meltzer: "What a Nitro we have for you tonight, but let's get right down to the ring, where we kick off the show with a cruiserweight title match!"
Coach: "A title match? already? Right now?"
SONNY SIAKI© vs BILLY KIDMAN, WCW CRUISERWEIGHT TITLE MATCH
Before the match starts, referee Billy Silverman sent Reese and Lodi packing to the back by kicking them out from ringside before Siaki even made his entrance. Siaki came out to a good pop, still playing his Rock gimmick. Before getting in the ring, he stood on the ropes and held the belt up much like the Rock use to. Collar and elbow in the early going, Siaki gets the advantage with a headlock, but he's quickly sent into the ropes and Kidman follows through with a series of armdrags, gaining control of the match. Forearms by Kidman before he tries to Irish whip Siaki into the corner, but Siaki pulls an Al Snow and drops to 1 knee, doing a slide before hitting the turnbuckles. Kidman comes charging, but gets a dropkick for his efforts. Siaki hits the ropes, flying wheel kick on Kidman for a two count. Kidman quick to go on the offensive after that, drawing the life from the crowd who had been rallying behind Siaki. Kidman slammed Siaki's face into the top turnbuckle a couple of times before setting him up in the tree of woe. Kidman goes for the baseball slide, but Siaki impressively lifts himself up onto the turnbuckle and dives off with an asai moonsault variation onto Kidman for a 2 count. Siaki with an irish whip that gets reversed, Kidman goes for a clothesline, Siaki ducks, SIAK BOTTOM!!! Siaki stands in front of Kidman and waves his hands across a couple times and bounces off the ropes, FRONT FLIP LEGDROP, which meltzer calls "The most electrifying leg drop in professional wrestling". Siaki covers Kidman for the 1-2-3.
After the match, after Siaki had left the ring, Elix Skipper hit the ring and began stomping a downed Billy Kidman. Skipper locks in the primetime submission as Refs and officials have to pry him off of Kidman. Some much needed payback by Elix Skipper for Kidman stealing a victory last week.
WINNER: SONNY SIAKI
<M:78% C:75% O:76% The WCW Cruiserweight title has lost image. <-- oof! >
We go backstage and see Mark Jindrak, Sean O'haire and the lovely Stacey Keibler in the back getting ready for their match.
Sean: "Listen Mark, there's something I've been meaning to talk to you about."
Mark: "Yeah?"
Sean: "Well, you see, last week, you weren't into the match at all man, whats up?"
Mark: "I don't know really, I've just lost the fire I once had"
Sean: "You lost the fire? What the hell does that mean? I'll tell you what you need to do, you need to get your head out of Stacey's skirt and start focusing on our matches so we can regain those tag straps."
Stacey: "SEAN!"
Sean: "Stay out of this Stacey, this is between me and Mark"
Mark: "You know what Sean, maybe I don't want to regain the tag straps, maybe I'm sick of going out there week in and out and not getting anywhere regardless of how many matches we win."
Sean: "Alright, you know what Mark. I'm a fighter, I kick ass man, If you want to be on your little depression trip go ahead, but if we don't win tonight, perhaps we should just split ways, what do you think about that?"
Stacey: "Guys guys guys guys, calm down."
Mark: "You know what sean, FINE!"
Mark Jindrak storms out of the room, and Sean looks at Stacey before heading out too. Stacey looks really worried.

SEAN O'HAIRE AND MARK JINDRAK VS COLT CABANA AND ACE STEEL
O'Haire and Jindrak were barking at one another before the match at who would start out, which resulted in Sean starting off against Steel. O'Haire absolutely dominated Steel in the early going with a back breaker, sidewalk slam and jawbreaker, but when it came time to tag Jindrak, instead of completing the double team that O'Haire had already set Steel up for, Jindrak lazily just came through the ropes and started kicking Steel. Steel eventually got the tag to Cabana, who went to work on Jindrak with a series of clotheslines and a big back body drop.Cabana hit a huge knee to the face in the corner on Jindrak and got a two count that O'Haire didn't bother to break up. Jindrak finally fought back, getting in right hands, but was quickly taken to the ground with a powerslam and a pin, but this time, O'Haire broke it up, which allowed for a choke on the ropes by Steel on Jindrak as the ref was yelling at O'haire. Stacey was yelling encouragement at Jindrak, who just couldn't get anything going for him as Cabana and Steel made quick tags to one another.
Right as Jindrak had finally gained momentum and had taken out both opponents, someone came running down the ramp and got on the apron, IT'S ADAM PEARCE! As the ref told him to get off the ring, Jindrak made the tag to O'Haire, but the ref didn't see it and yelled at O'Haire to get out of the ring. Meanwhile, Pearce entered the ring and hit a huge superkick on Jindrak as the ref didn't see it. Stacey got on the apron and tried to yell at the ref, who had his hands full with O'Haire still. With the ref stil distracted, Pierce and Steel set up Jindrak, allowing Cabana to hit a big moonsault. Pearce hid from the ref outside as Steel ran around to the other side of the ring and pulled O'Haire off the apron while Cabana covered Jindrak for the 1-2-3!!! Stacey was still yelling at the ref about the interference even after the match was over as the crowd is booing the horrible acting job by the ref that was done here, as Pearce was in the ring for a good 20 seconds. After the match, Steel and Cabana hugged Pearce, he must have been what they were talking about last week.
WINNERS: COLT CABANA AND ACE STEEL
<M:85% C:70% O:77% Ace Steel gained overness from this match. Colt Cabana gained overness from this match. >
Meltzer: "Have we seen the end of O'Haire and Jindrak?"
In the back, we see Booker T with the gold walking down a hallway. He bumps into Whiskey Marc as the two pass by each other.
Book: "Watch where your goin, Sucka!"
Marc: "Sucka? Boy, you best respect me."
Book: "Oh yeah, why? Cause you can roll around on glass and throw Mick Foley off cages? You know what, you may be a master of hardcore, but you'lle never ammount to anything in WCW."
Marc: "Is that so? Why don't you tell me that next week, Why don't you put that US Title on the line in a one on one match? No weapons, no gimmicks, a normal title match, and I'll prove to you, that I'm as good as I say I am. I can beat you with weapons, or I could beat you without them, it doesn't matter."
Book: "Next week huh ? Yeah, I dig that. Your ass is mine next week."
Marc: "No Booker, that belt is mine."
Marc and Book stare at each other face to face as we go to a different part of backstage.
<0:89% Whiskey Marc gained overness from this segment. >
We fade in to see Raven sitting backstage , leaning against a vehicle.
Raven: "They say that there's no mortal sins, and that all our souls are lost in a maze that someone else has made for them. Well Austin..."
Raven tries to get to his feet, but its too late, Austin tackles against the truck as he's getting up. The two exchange blows in the back, neither man gaining an advantage. Road agents are quick to the scene and we have a huge mess backstage as a big group of officials are now trying to pry the two apart, but it's not working as they're still taking it to one another.
Meltzer: "We have chaos backstage, folks, we'll be back!"
<0:93% Raven gained overness from this segment. >
<=:=><=:=>Commercial Break<=:=><=:=>
Meltzer: "Well folks, the next match is definitely going to be something unique. We had one of these a couple months ago, they're called scramble matches. two teams of 5 men each square off against one another, but unlike a traditional 5 man match, there doesn't have to be a tag made for a wrestler to enter the ring, just as long as there's always a superstar from each team in the ring. The first pinfall or submission wins it"
Coach: "I don't like these matches Meltzer, too much goes on at once."
Meltzer: "Well coach, many would argue that that isn't a bad thing!"
Coach: "They're stupid, how can you enjoy a match when you can't even take in half of the things that happened!"
Meltzer: "If you want boring matches, go back to WWE Coach."
Coach: "That's quite alright."
CHRISTIAN, REY MYSTERIO, HOMICIDE, AND THE LEGION OF DOOM VS AL SNOW, BIG VITO, RUCKUS AND SINISTER CREATION
Hurricane Whipwreck started this one out by jawing with one another before Whipwreck tried for a right hand, which immediately got blocked and Hurricane hit a right hand of his own. Irish whip by Hurricane and he sends Whipwreck crashing to the floor with a back body drop, but forgot about the rules of the match. He turned his back on the opposition, which allowed ruckus to climb up top and hit a huge corkscrew on him. Hurricane rolled out of the ring and Rey came in, hitting a head scissors on Ruckus and a pinning Hurricanrana, but Snow broke it up and after that, all hell broke loose as both sides immediately came in.
As Whipwreck started to get to his feet on the outside, Hurricane went over the ropes with a front flip plancha. Al Snow followed with a very nice Moonsault off the top onto Hurricane and Whipwreck, and Mysterio followed that by doing his signiture little flip over the ropes before landing on the outside apron and hitting an asai moonsault. Tajiri up top next as the crowd goes wild for this little divefest and Tajiri hits a big splash off the top that sends all the superstars to the floor. Christian dives over the top rope next with a slingshot plancha. In the ring, Vito is being double teamed by Homicide and Animal, who hit him with a double suplex and then a double powerbomb as they're cleaning house on Vito.
Instead of helping his partner, Ruckus climbed to the top rope and hit a 450 splash onto the 6 men on the outside as they all once again went crashing to the ground. Double irish whip by Animal and Homicide, Vito ducks the homicide clothesline, but not Animals big boot. Homicide picks up Vito and hits a modified ace crusher for the 1-2-3 pinfall as we have an all out war on the outside. In the ring, Homicide yells at Vito, who's on the ground out still before raising his hands in the air as the crowd pops for a great match.
WINNERS: CHRISTIAN, REY MYSTERIO, HOMICIDE, AND THE LEGION OF DOOM
<M:83% C:69% O:76%>
Cactus Jack appears on the tron, he doesn't look to be in the arena, but rather a set up for interview area.
Meltzer: "Live via satelite is Cactus Jack. Cactus, how are you doing?"
Cactus: "Well Meltzer, I gotta be honest with you, after coughing up some blood after War games, I realized that I'm not 28 anymore and decided that this old geezer should take a little time off and lick my wounds. But rest assured, Whiskey Marc, your actions won't go without punishment. You may have thrown me 15 feet off a steel cage, but I've been there before, and it didn't stop me then, and it won't stop me now. I'll be back for you Marc Stines, and when I do, I'll give you the same ass kicking I gave you at Wargames. BANG BANG!"

EDGE VS CM PUNK
What a great match this was as Edge is making his WCW singles match debut against one of WCW's rising superstars. Punk with a brainbuster in the early going took the life out of Edge, who has obviously misjudged Punk's abilities. Crooked legged moonsault in the opening minutes gets a two count only. Edge battles back with a powerslam that caught Punk after he had bounced off the ropes. Edge set up for the spear, but CM sidestepped as he got to his feet, sending Edge shoulder first into the ringpost. Schoolboy by CM gets a two count, and CM immediately goes to work on the shoulder, stomping it. Pepsi Twist by Punk who's feeling it here tonight. Punk goes up top, Missile dropkick and the crowd is soley behind Punk here. Punk picks up Edge, and Edge pokes him in the eyes to regain control before sending CM through the ropes to the outside.
Irish whip by Edge onto CM that send him crashing face first into the ring post and bouncing off. Edge sits Punk atop the steel guardrail in a compromising position before clotheslining him off and throwing him back in the ring. Quick 2 count by Edge who seems frurstrated by the refs count. Electric Chair drop by Edge, who goes up top and goes for a missle dropkick of his own, but CM sidesteps and Edge goes crashing to the mat again, SHINING WIZARD by CM, and that should be all, 1-2-KICKOUT! CM in firm control now after that fall took it out of Edge. Devil's lock DDT onto Edge. CM picks up Edge and goes for an irish whip into the corner, but Edge reverses the other way and CM goes crashing into the ref, who falls out of the ring. Edge-O-Matic by Edge now, but there's no referee. Edge goes to pick up CM, but CM hits a low blow to the fans delight.
All of a sudden, Austin Aries hits the ring and attacks CM from behind. Reverse DDT by Aries, who goes up top and hits a 450 onto CM while the ref is out. Edge up to his feet now, Edgecution as Aries throws the ref back in the ring. 1-2-3 and Edge has stolen this one, but has no time to celebrate as Matt Hardy immediately hits the ring as he gets a decent pop and Edge hightails it out of the ring. Hardy has saved a potential 2 on 1 situation and has obviously came looking for a fight tonight!
WINNER: EDGE

We come back and are inside Eric Bischoff's office, who is talking to Chris Jericho
Jericho: "So this tag team match tonight you put me in with Scott Steiner, I'm not so sure about it."
Eric: "Don't worry Chris, Scott is my hired gun and there's not a damn thing he can do about it. He knows that as long as I'm signing his checks, he's got to play ball."
Jericho: "Oh, I'm not worried about him Eric. Hell, you coulda put me in a handicap match against the two and you know Chris Jericho, the highlight of the night would come out on top. What I mean was.."
CM Punk and Matt hardy burst through the door as Jericho gets disgusted look on his face and Bischoff looks angry.
Bischoff: "What the hell is this?"
CM: "I want Aries next week!"
Matt: "Eric, give me edge next week, I swear to god I'll rip him apart."
Bischoff: "Settle down now, I just saw what happened and if you each want them, you'lle get them, but not in singles matches. Next week, it will be you two against Austin Aries and Edge! And if you win, then I'll consider giving you your requests. Now get the hell out of my Office."
Matt and CM staredown Jericho before leaving the office.
Jericho: "See Eric, that's what I'm talking about, there's no respect in this company."
The two continue chatting and we have a tag match for next week!
<0:77% Austin Aries gained overness from this segment. >
We cut away from Bischoff's office and are still backstage, and it looks like Austin and Raven are STILL going at it backstage. Austin throws a metal trash can at Raven as he tries to get away and Raven hits the ground. Austin grabs Raven by the head and throws him through a door, the door flys open and Raven falls down a flight of stairs.
Austin: "Raven ya son of a bitch you never should have came back!"
Austin walks down the stares and looks down, as there's another flight or two of stairs judging by the height. Austin looks down and we see that the two are a good 10 feet in the air still. Austin kicks Raven while he tries to get to his feet. Raven gets to his feet and rests against the guardrail.
Austin: "You sorry bastard, messing with Stonecold was the worst mistake you ever made!"
Austin clotheslines raven over the guardrail!!! Raven goes crashing through a table below. Austin sadistically stares at Raven, who is out after that fall. Austin Flips Raven off and heads back up the steps as we go to commercial break as medics are almost immediately attending to Raven.

CHRIS JERICHO AND SCOTT STEINER VS KONNAN AND EDDIE GUERRERO
Jericho comes out to the biggest heat of the night as he comes out last with the world Title around his waist. As Jericho is making his entrance, he constantly eyeballs Eddie, who taunts him. Jericho looks to start it out with Konnan, but Konnan leaves the ring and Eddie gets in and Jericho wants no part of him as he tags Steiner in the back as Steiner was looking at the crowd. A disgruntled Scott Steiner gets in the ring and here we go. Steiner immediately gets control with a kick to the stomach and takes Eddie down with a body slam. Jericho begs for the tag and Steiner obliges, tagging in Jericho after Eddies been taken down. Y2J stomps Eddie on the ground, but Eddie grabs the leg and trips Jericho. Eddie goes on the offensive and mounts Jericho and starts punching him. The ref finally pulls Eddie off of Jericho and Y2J immediately tags Steiner back in.
Tag to Konnan and him and steiner look to lock up, but instead, Konnan goes behind and tries to a german suplex, but Steiner hits him with a big back elbow before hitting the ground and hitting a shoulder tackle that sends Konnan to the Matt. Steiner picks up Konnan and hit a belly to belly, but Eddie breaks up the pin. Tag made to Jericho, who was obviously enjoying yelling at fans a lot more then being in the match. Jericho and Steiner exchange words before Jericho gets in the ring and gives Konnan an armringer and a takedown. One legged crab by Jericho, but Eddie immediately breaks it up. As Eddie goes to leave, Jericho attacks him from behind, sending him into the turnbuckle. Jericho chops Eddie once, but Eddie reverses positions and gives Jericho three hard chops before leaving the ring and Jericho walks right into a Konnan rolling thunder lariat. Pin by Konnan but only gets a two count and he makes the tag to Eddie. Eddie goes up and over the top rope with the senton splash and goes for the pin, but pulls Jericho's shoulders off the canvas and is in firm control of the match.
Eddie hits the 3 amigos on Jericho, who then begs Eddie to stop, but it's no good, as Eddie kicks him in the face. Irish whip by Eddie, but Jericho hits the flying forearm. Jericho walks backwards towards steiner, as he keeps his eye on a downed Eddie. Still watching Eddie, Jericho reaches for Steiner, but Steiner isn't tagging in! Jericho turns around and yells at Steiner: "You tag in when I say you tag in, bitch!". Steiner doesn't appreciate that too much and still won't tag in. Jericho slaps Steiner in the face, but uh oh, that went too far. Steiner punches Jericho in the face! Steiner gets in the ring now and Jericho is scared of him. Eddie has left the ring and goes to the outside knowing something bad is about to Happen to Jericho. Jericho goes to kick Steiner as he's backing away from him, but Steiner grabs the leg.. GARGOYLE SUPLEX! Steiner picks up Jericho, Irish Whip, SICKENING INSIDE OUT CLOTHESLINE!! Steiner picks up Jericho, POWERBOMB with Authority and the crowd is cheering for Steiner. "SCREW YOU JERICHO, You Piece of Crap" Steiner yells out to Jericho before leaving the ring. Eddie capitolizes on the opportunity and goes up top, FROGSPLASH! Here's the cover, 1-2-3 and Eddie has got one over on Jericho, but with the unlikely help of Scott Steiner! Jericho lay flat in the ring as Eddie and Konnan celebrate. The crowd definitely likes to see the egotistical Jericho laid out in the middle of the ring, and Eddie has picked up a huge victory here as we fade out.
WINNERS: EDDIE GUERRERO AND KONNAN

ECW costs WCW TV DEAL
by James Goodwin, Seattle PI
Published: Monday, December 5th, 2005
World Championship Wrestling, a top american professional wrestling company that has been desperately seeking a second television deal, has faxed a statement to nearly every media outlet in America in hopes of gaining National coverage. Here is the unedited Fax:
TO: ALL NEWS MEDIA
FROM: WCW OWNER ERIC BISCHOFF
DATE: SUNDAY, DECEMBR 4TH, 2005
RE: SECOND TELEVISION DEAL
As owner of WCW, It is my firm belief that Paul Heyman's Extreme Championship Wrestling is causing WCW harm in our attempts to establish a second television show. I have based my conclusion on the following facts.
ECW runs a much riskier product then WCW, Which means television stations have less interest in running their riskier show. Knowing this Paul Heyman has taken the low road, slandering WCW and ruining press conferences in previous months, making us seem unprofessional, much like ECW.
Secondly, It is my firm belief that in retaliation for signing one of his former stars to our company, Paul has retaliated by sending emails , Faxes, letters and phone messages to top network executives, giving them false information on the WCW product. Due to Paul's apparent long list of connections thanks to superstars such as The Rock, who works with numerous stations, doing promotional work for his movies and whatnot.
Finally, with an on-going war with ECW, we here at WCW would like to clarify that we do not need a second television deal to compete in the American wrestling industry. We are a multi-million dollar company and a second television show would be good for our product, but is unnecessary for us to remain financially stable and in competitive form. As owner of WCW, you can rest assured that there are no hidden problems within our company
Thank You,
Eric Bischoff

Monday, November 27th, 2005
<=:=><=:=>Intro and Pyro<=:=><=:=>
Meltzer: "What a night it was last night, folks, if you missed it, you missed what will surely go down in wrestling history as one of the best pay per views of all time"
Coach: "I still can't believe what I saw! Foley thrown off a steel cage, Edge ruining Matt Hardy and Maria's potential marriage, and above all else, Chris Jericho retaining the heavyweight title."
Meltzer: "Coach, you just barely touched the tip of the iceberg."
Eddie Guerrero makes his was down to the ring, drawing heat from the crowd as he's all smiles tonight after winning the war games matchup. Eddie gets in the ring and grabs a mic.
Eddie: "Last night, I defeated 29 other amigos inside of 3 rings surrounded by a steel cage. Last Night, I earned a shot to face the heavyweight champion at Starcade. And Last night, was one of the most defining moments of my career. I lasted nearly an hour in that match, finally pinning the man they call CM Punk. Now, it's Eddie Guerrero's time vato's, you hear me? Next month, at Starcade, on Christmas none the less, Santa Clause is going to make up for all those Christmas's in Mexico where I never got anything and is going to bring me just what I always wanted, the WCW Heavyweight title!"
"BREAK THE WALLS DOOWWWWN"
Out comes the Champ, Chris Jericho as the fans immediately break out in a "jackass" chant for the champ, who doesn't look pleased.
Y2J: "I was in the back, looking over my latest record deal when I heard the oh so familiar voice of Eddie Guerrero out here, doing what he does best, running his mouth. You think that just because you played a little game of war that you deserve a heavyweight title shot against Chris Jericho? I think not pal.
Eddie: "You think not Y...2...J? Let me tell you something holmes, You could barely beat one man last night, I defeated 29 of them. All my career I've been held back by american jackasses like yourself with huge egos, well not anymore holmes, not anymore. I'm sick and tired of being overlooked, I'm sick and tired of being denied title shots, I'm sick and tired of guys like you Chris Jericho!"
Y2J: "Easy now Burrito Guerrero, you look like you're about to burst. You say guys like me hold you down, well if you can stop bitching and moaning for a second and SHUT THE HELL UP, then maybe I could get a word in edgewise. No one is holding you down because your latin, "holmes". The only one holding you down is yourself Eddie. You say Santa is going to deliver you my heavyweight title, and I say you're wrong. Eddie, you've been a bad boy this year, and the only thing you're getting for Christmas is a fat, ugly, disgusting lump of coal. But I guess your used to fat, ugly disgusting lumps of coal aren't you, considering you married one.
Eddie: "Chris Jericho, don't you dare bring my family into this amigo, I'll rip your head off"
Y2J: "Oh, I won't bring your family into this Eddie, I won't have time to make fun of all 652 of them. Eddie, you talk a good game, and I do too. But the difference between you and me is that while you were off winning the cruiserweight and tag team titles, I was off defeating Hulk Hogan for the WCW Heavyweight title. I suggest you go back to what you're good at, beating up on little midgets, because babay, you can't hold a candle to the ball of fire that is Y..2...J!"

ADAM WINDSOR VS PAUL BIRCHALL
With the series tied at one win a piece, these two lock it up yet again, each looking to pull out a big win here. Amazing chemistry in the ring as the two battle for control in the early going. Windsor finally got the upperhand with a headlock and then a front falling trip as he showed great technical prowess early in the match, applying a dragon sleeper. Birchall fought back midmatch, eventually hitting a springboard tornado DDT as the tides turned in his favor. Birchall went up top and hit a legdrop for a two count. Birchall irish whipped Windsor and then surprisingly hit a spinebuster and headed up top. Birchall was apparently going to go for a cross body, as he waited for Windsor to get on his feet. However, Windsor hit a superkick in midair on Birchall, covering him for the 1-2-3 and a great victory in this affair. After the match, Windsor celebrated and extended his hand, but Birchall simply walked off, leaving Windsor hanging.
WINNER: ADAM WINDSOR
<M:80% C:45% O:62% Paul Birchall lost overness from this match. >
Backstage, we see CM Punk in Eric Bischoff's office.
CM: "So you agree with me, right Eric?"
Eric: "CM, You know what, I do agree with you. It's clear that you weren't pinned last night in the match. Therefor, I am going to grant your request and tonight it will be CM Punk one on one with Booker T in a US Title Match!"
CM: "Thanks boss, I know I'm still a little sore from that war games matchup, but I'm going to go out there and win the US Title tonight, capturing my first gold here in WCW!"
Eric: "Speaking of gold, did you hear about that match I booked for tonight, tell me how this sounds. Tonight, Jindrak and O'Haire are going to take on Sinister Creation for a tag team title shot in the near future! What do you think of that?"
CM: "Well actually, Sir, I don't like it, I don't like it one bit. Neither of those teams DESERVE that match Eric. You know why? Because it's apparent to me that Sinister Minister has those two drinking the wrong kind of Kool-aid. And Jindrak and O'Haire, you know when they're not having raunchy, disgusting sex with that Slut Stacey Keibler, they're injecting each other with Steroids. You know something Eric, you're roster would be a lot better off if everyone was like me, a drug free, hardworking and respect worthy wrestler, maybe you wouldn't have so many problems. After all, being Straight Edge means I'm better then all of them."
CM Walks out of the office, giving Eric something to think about on the way out.

Irish whip and a tilt-a-whirl by skipper followed by a running leg drop for a quick 2 count.

Without warning or entrance music, Austin hits the ring and the flock flee's, but regroups immediately and surrounds the ring as Raven barks out orders at them. Reese is the first one on the apron, and Raven quickly jumps him before Lodi, Stevie and Kidman get in the ring from different sides of the ring and attack Austin. Austin tries to fight them off, but Reese quickly gets in the ring and the numbers game plays to the Flock's advantage as they beat down Austin. Meanwhile, Raven has pulled a stopsign from under the ring and has a microphone. Richards with a superkick on Austin as Raven gets in the ring and throws the stopsign on the ground and takes to the mic as Lodi and Reese hold Austin up.
Raven: "Austin, you thought I was gone for good, didn't you? You just thought your little super group was going to defeat the flock last night and it would all be over? Well, I have bad news for Austin, I went to hell and back, and I saw a greater power, and you know what he told me, he told me to rise above everything I hate and deliver righteous judgement as a sacrifice, to show all of you and WCW what the flock is capable of. Quote the Raven, Nevermore."
Raven kicks Austin in the stomach before delivering an evenflow DDT to him right on the stopsign. Raven stands above Austin and stretches his arms out and looks to ground below him at Austin as the flock drop to their knees, hands at their sides. The crowd boo's as Austin has been busted open.

Ellering: "YOu know what Mean Gene, there are always rumors going around saying this and that, everyone on the internet has their opinion, the dirtsheets are already second guessing themselves and wrestling fans all around the world want to know if I did it last night. It's absolutely proposterious to think that I attacked my boys last nights when the lights went out. Hell, we all know that the sinister creation have done that before. It's what they do, they play mindgames, I've done my research, especially on Sinister Minister. Now as for tonight,I see what we have is a #1 contenders match.

These two powerhouses go at it in the early going, exchanging right hands, kicks and bodyslams. Vito gets the advantage by midmatch and is just taking it to homicide. Vito hits a huge front sidewalk slam and goes up top, but misses the elbow drop. Control of the match starts to shift to Homicide's favor as the crowd gets behind him as he blocks Vito's punches before sending him to the ground with a huge right hand, and a body slam as now Homicide heads up top.

We come back from commercial and out comes Matt Hardy, obviously depressed about last night. He gets a split reaction from the crowd before getting in the ring and grabbing a microphone.
Matt: "I'd like to justify and explain my actions in recent weeks. If your looking for lies, you're not going to get them, as this comes straight from the heart. I have been unfaithful to you Maria, very unfaithful infact. I haven't been honest with you, and that's wrong. If you want the flatout truth, here it is. Yes, I did have sex with Torrie and Stacey, yes, I have gotten a little too friendly with them, and I'm to blame. I couldn't resist my own temptations, I simply wasn't strong enough. But when you think about it, was it really wrong Maria? I mean, before marriages, friends of the groom throw him a wild Bachelor party and he usually ends up sleeping with about half of the strippers there, without EVER telling his soon to be wife. I mean, is sex such a bad thing? It makes you feel good, just like how being around you makes me feel good. Maria, I'm not sure if you're listening to me right now, but if you are, if you won't listen to me about that, please listen to me about this. Edge is a very, very, very bad man Maria, please, if nothing else, don't listen to him.
He'll say he loves you, yet 2 week's later, he'll find someone else. He's done it to his ex-wives, he did it to Lita, and who the hell else knows how many girl's hearts he's broken. He's a homewrecker, a life ruiner. He cost me my dream Maria, my dream! Because of him, I got fired from the WWE without reason! Maybe now I'm happier without the WWE, but that always was my dream, and tha'ts something he took away from me. Maria, please, I'm sorry, just forgive me."
Matt is about to leave the ring, But instead, Edge's music hits and out comes WCW's new residential badboy to yet another mixed reaction crowd. Edge sets his briefcase down and grab at the top of the ramp and grabs a microphone.
Edge: "Well Matt, it looks like we meet again. You look, you look a little empty Matt, all those tears must have really drained you. Listen Matt, I'm not here to stir up trouble, just so you know. I'm only here to do what's right. So let's just let by-gones be by-gones and accept the fact that we can't change the past."
Matt: "You know damn well Edge that everything you just said is a lie. I wouldn't be surprised if you've already gotten into Maria's ear and told her all kinds of BS about me already. Edge, I don't want any part of you in my life anymore, you've done enough damage, just get the hell out of here."
Edge: "Sorry pal, I just can't do that, I couldn't possibly turn down all those zeros Eric offered me in my contract. You say I wreck lives, well that may be so Matt, but at least I do it WITH the intention of hurting people. Matt, I thrive off of your misery. When WWE paired me and Lita together after your firing, I knew you hated every second of it, and I loved it. I loved the taste of Lita's lips on mine, it felt oh so wrong. And even after me and Lita had gotten over our little "fling", haha, well, I enjoyed it even more knowing that it hurt both you and her. But Matt, just for the record, I have no intention on hurting Maria, just you Matt. I'm going to finish what I started, and that's making your life a living hell!"
Edge leaves and Matt looks absolutely pissed in the ring.

SINISTER CREATION VS MARK JINDRAK AND SEAN O'HAIRE
Jindrak and O'Haire come out with Stacey, who is looking hot as hell. Jindrak, for some reason, isn't looking like he's completely into this one, whereas O'Haire is rarin' to go, as he starts off with Tajiri in the ring, taking control of the matchup in the early going, simply giving Tajiri a beating with big right hands in the corner. Irish whip to the corner and Tajiri hits the ground at the force. Tajiri finally gets the upperhand after a couple minutes after kicking O'Haire after he puts his head down following an irish whip. tag made to mikey whipwreck, who comes in. Tajiri and whipwreck go for a double verticle suplex, but O'haire will have none of it and suplexes them both. Tag made to Jindrak, who lazily comes in and hits Whipwreck with a targeted shot to the gut as O'Haire held him. Jindrak retained control for a couple minutes, but finally lost it when Tajiri kicked him in the back after a bounce off the ropes, and Whipwreck hit him with a ddt. Tag made to Tajiri, who goes up top and hits a double legged dropkick for a quick 2 count. Tajiri attacks O'Haire and O'Haire tries to come in the ring, which allows Sinister creation to double stomp Jindrak as the ref dealt with O'Haire. From there on out, Sinister Creation isolated Jindrak, not allowing him to make a tag as they made quick tags in and out. The finish came with Stacey distracting Tajiri, or at least she thought she had. Instead, she got Mist for her sexually distracting ways, and as O'haire checked on her, Whipwreck hit the whipper snapper for the 1-2-3. Sinister creation left the ring after the match, and O'Haire, who had been making sure stacey was alright got in the ring, yelling at Jindrak, telling him to "get his head straight."

Steel: "Speaking of not know what their doing, what's our plan now man?"
Cabana: "Huh? What do you mean?"
Steel: "Well, I was thinking, we should enter the tag division."
Cabana: "You know what, me and you should start tagging up more often, we're one hell of a tag team, we could take down any tag team in wcw. But you know, I think we gotta do one more thing first.."

WAR GAMES PRELIMINARY RATINGS
War Games got a .86 buy rate according to many credible sources, however, that rating will surely go up once replays have finished airing. Many looked at this as a weak PPV, when in fact, it ended up one of the strongest PPV's in recent memory. They made 2.15 million in PPV revenue and drew a gate of $655,500.
EDGE DEBUTS
We had known for awhile now that WCW had stolen another talent from WWE, but we were unaware of who until last night. Edge's debut came as a total shocker, and many in the business are looking forward to Edge and Matt Hardy's upcoming feud which will surely look to be the hottest thing WCW will have going for themselves going into 2006
AUSTIN ARIES, HOMICIDE AND ELIX SKIPPER DEBUT
Eric Bischoff's three new signees, Elix Skipper, Austin Aries and Homicide debuted last night in the war games matchup. It appears as if Homicide and Elix Skipper are faces, as Skipper was stunning the crowd with his ringwork and Homicide went right after Vito! Austin Aries on the other hand, is definitely a heel, as he was all over CM Punk the majority of the match
MICK FOLEY UPDATE
Although sore, Mick Foley was seen walking around after the show in great condition, despite having numerous cuts all over his body. Many were shocked to see the bump he took in the war games matchup, especially after his brutal war earlier in the night.
WCW NITRO PREVIEW
We look forward to tonights Nitros. We've heard that there will possibly be a Eddie Guerrero-Chris Jericho confrontation as well as the in ring debuts of 2 of WCW's new superstars. We can confirm that Foley, Siaki and Rey Mysterio will not be on the show, selling injuries from last night's pay per view.

oh yeah, I forgot, some questions..
1. Rate the card on a scale of 1-10, 10 being the best.
2. Did you like Edge's debut?
3. Was the PPV over the top in terms of bumps/ etc?

Mean Gene: "Now, we take you to the arena where David Meltzer and Coach are standing by for our first match of the evening."
We get our first shot of the arena, the set has been set up to resemble a battlefield, with barbed wire barracks, a big tank that looked quite real, dirt hills, a stationary machine gun and a camaflouge painted jeep. There are three rings in the arena, but two have been pushed away from the main ring, for now. We have a sellout crowd on hand for this one.
Meltzer: "Thank you Mean Gene and welcome to our free War Games Pre-show! Let's head right to the ring, I think the match is about to start!"
TAG TEAM TITLE MATCH
SINISTER CREATION VS THE LEGION OF DOOM©
Sinister Creation is out first to the first initial pop of the night. This crowd is so hyped that Brooklyn Brawler would have got a pop if he was the first one out. Sinister Minister is in his usual mood, laughing evilly as Whipwreck and Tajiri look to be on their toes. The Legion of doom's music hits and they come out along with manager Paul Ellering to a thunderous Ovation. It should be noted that Hurricane isn't dawning a mask tonight, but rather choosing to go with a Red/Yellow/Green and black face paint design that actually looks quite cool. Sinister Creation clear the ring as the champs make their way into the ring and pose with the belts on the turnbuckles. Both teams are in the ring and here we go.
Early headlock from Tajiri applied to Animal. Animal with the irish whip and the big shoulder that simply floors Tajiri. Animal takes off running and Tajiri hits the ground, Animal bounces off the ropes again and Tajiri goes to jump over him, but animal catches him and delivers a sick spinebuster and Tajiri clutches his head as he tags Whipwreck. Whipwreck comes in and is the immediate victim of a sidewalk slam. Tag made to Hurricane. who comes over the top rope with a springboard legdrop onto Whipwreck, quick pin only gets a 2 count. Punches to the face by Hurricane but Whipwreck with a poke to the eye and an armring. Tag to Tajiri, who comes up and over with a chop onto Hurricanes arm. Tajiri with lightning kicks to Hurricanes abdomine before tripping him up with a back heel trip and a standing backflip pin for a 2 count. Tajiri immediately goes into a headlock and tags whipwreck as they isolate Hurricane in the early going. Whipwreck goes up top and delivers a hammerblow to Hurricanes back. Irish whip by Mikey followed by a back body drop. Whipwreck goes up top, big elbow drop connects, but Animal breaks up the pin.
Tag made to Tajiri and here comes the double irish whip, both men put their heads down and Hurricane catches them with a double DDT! Hurricane is starting to gain momentum as he hits Lariats on both men and yells out to the crowd. He turns around, only to receive a Tajiri kick to the stomach. Tajiri goes for another kick, but Hurricane grabs his foot, and then ducks the enziguri, but Tajiri tries again and hits him in the face with a kick after a 3rd attempt. Tajiri goes for an irish whip, Hurricane reverses, SPRINGBOARD BACK ELBOW BY TAJIRI and Hurricane is in a world of hurt now. Animal once again breaks up a pin and this time Whipwreck comes in as well! The ref has lost control and amidst the chaos, Sinister Minister has a chair and is about to slide it into the ring. Ellering comes racing around the ring and clobbers Minister with a clothesline and the chair didn't make it to the ring! Inside the ring, Hurricane finally got the tag to Animal, who has cleaned house, delivering clotheslines, right hands and back bodies drop all around. Animal throws Tajiri up and over the top rope and he lands on Minister! Animal with the electric chair on Whipwreck and Hurricane goes up top, DOOMSDAY DEVICE!! Here's the pin by Animal, Tajiri tries to get back in the ring, but Ellering is holding his leg! 1-2-3 and the tag champs retain the titles! After the match, they celebrate in the ring with Ellering, but the lights go out!
Meltzer: "Oh Great, electrical problems, I knew we shouldn't have hooked up that plasma screen in my office?"
Coach: "You got a plasma screen?"
Meltzer: "Er, I mean Eric's office!"
The lights come back on and Animal and Hurricane are laid out, but SINISTER CREATION is NO WHERE to be found, leaving Ellering standing in the ring, holding the tag team titles while his team remains down in the ring, speculation runs rampant and the crowd is confused.

CRUISERWEIGHT TITLE LADDER MATCH
REY MYSTERIO© VS SONNY SIAKI
Rey and Siaki both come out to very solid pops and the crowd will definitely be into this one. Siaki is still playing The Rock gimmick and looks more and more like him everyday! A Ladder has already been set up in the entrance isle and an even taller ladder has been set up at ringside. Both superstars in the ring, the belt is placed 15 feet above the ring, and here we go. Siaki gets initial control, but loses it after Rey Rey goes underneath the legs and delivers a dropkick to the lower back, setting Siaki up for an early 619 that obviously won't connect as Siaki moves as soon as Rey starts running. The two tie up in a collar and elbow, which is surprisingly different from their last match. Siaki gains an advantage and goes for a sunset flip, but stupid him, there's no pinfalls in this match! Irish whip from Rey leads into a head scissors by Siaki. Siaki with an irish whip and this time Rey catches HIM with a headscissors! Rey with a body slam and a leg drop and goes outside and starts to take the smaller ladder down. Siaki comes over the top rope, catching rey with a cannonball dive and the ladder falls over. Siaki closes the ladder and sets it on the ground.
Siaki goes for a verticle suplex on the ladder, but Rey blocks it and hits Siaki with a ddt on the ladder instead. Rey rey puts the ladder in the ring, but not before going back out and hitting an asia moonsault on Siaki. Rey sets up the ladder, but not in a position to get the belt, but rather in a position to dive ot the outside. Rey accends to the top of the ladder and jumps off with a huge moonsault on an awaiting Siaki, but it looks like Rey got the worst of that exchange as Siaki is up first. Siaki goes under the ring and gets another smaller ladder and sets that up in the ring so it can rest diagonally in the corner on the top ropes. Mysterio is back in the ring and hits a clubbing blow to the back of Siaki as he set up the ladder. Mysterio goes for a verticle suplex onto the ladder in the corner, but Siaki lands on his feet atop the Ladder. As Siaki is gaining his balance, Mysterio climbs up the the opposite turnbuckle! Right as Siaki turns around, it's too late, Rey takes two steps off the Top rope, walking the rope and leaps off, his lower legs and feet wrapping around Siaki's neck as Siaki goes flying to the canvas from the weak hurricanrana.
Mysterio sets up the ladder in the middle of the ring, and begans accending. Siaki accends the other side and the two exchange blows as they reach the top, but they're making too much movement and the ladder tips over, sending both superstars to the mat, but not before Siaki got caught up on the top rope, getting a hangmen across the neck. Mysterio goes to the outside and retrieves the much larger ladder and sets it up in the ring, on the side of the little ladder. Mysterio starts climbing the big ladder, but Siaki starts climbing the opposite side of the little ladder! Siaki stands on the top of the little ladder and braces himself by holding the top of the big ladder with one hand as he eye rakes Rey. Siaki drapes his arm across Rey's neck and under his arm, ROCK BOTTOM OFF THE LADDER!!! Or maybe that's the Siak Bottom...either way, both superstars are definitely out of it after that one.
They both get to their feet and start climbing the ladders on the same side while exchanging weak kicks, Siaki on the big ladder, Mysterio on the little ladder. Siaki climbs much higher then Mysterio and kicks him in the head. Mysterio is now sitting on the top of the little ladder. Siaki jumps backwards and his side, off the ladder , wrapping his legs around mysterio's neck, HURRICANRANA OFF THE LADDER!! Mysterio does a flip in midair and lands backfirst on the ladder that was set up on the top rope before falling to the outside. Siaki lays on the canvas for a minute before starting to accend the ladder. He's made it up top and tugs on the belt, before falling to the ground with belt in hand, The bells sounds and the ref raises Siaki's hand as he lays on the canvas in pain. Trainers attend to both superstars, who clearly won't be the same after this match.
WINNER and NEW WCW Cruiserweight Champion: SONNY SIAKI

NO RULES GRUDGE MATCH
WHISKEY MARC VS CACTUS JACK
Whiskey Marc out first to a series of boo's as he brings a trash can full of weapons and a barbed wire chair to the ring with him. Whiskey spills them out as he gets into the ring, it looks like we have a couple kendo sticks, lightbulbs, a velvet bag, and some metal parking signs. Cactus Jack's music hits and the crowd pops harder, but even harder when he finally appears, carrying a board with barbed wire on it on his back! He sets the board down at ringside and climbs in the ring, but immediately gets taken down by a Whiskey Marc kendo stick shot. Cactus right back up, only to receive another, and another. Whiskey chokes Cactus from behind with the kendo stick, but Jack, always the thinker, hits a low blow kick right between the legs and Marc hits the ground. Cactus is already busted open, bleeding from the forehead, but that doesn't stop him from grabbing the barbed wire chair and hitting Marc right in the back with it! Marc rolls around on the ground, and Jack just hits him again. Jack rips off Marc's shirt to reveal numerous large scars from his yester year wars, and hits him right in the middle of his chest with the chair and the barbed wire has done it's toll, as Marc is mearely a pin cushion at this point.Jack reaches for the velvet bag and jingles it, It's thumbtacks!! He pours them out in a corner of the ring and grabs Whiskey Marc, calling for a powerbomb. However, we all know that won't work, and Cactus gets back body dropped right into the tacks and he yells out in pain.
Meltzer: "That's a human body, and he just got thousands of tacks inserted right into his back!"
Coach: "You know somewhere in his parents basement Paul Heyman is loving this"
Whiskey Marc sets up the lightbulbs in another corner of the ring and Jack gets to his feet. Whiskey goes for a verticle suplex onto the lightbulbs, but Jack blocks it and rakes Marc in the eyes, DOUBLE ARM DDT ONTO THE LIGHTBULBS! Cactus goes to the outside and retrieves something, it's a barbed wire 2 by 4! He reaches under the ring and pulls out a bucket, he opens the bucket and puts the 2x4 into it. He pulls it out and it appears to be dripping with something! Jacks gets back into the ring and pulls out some matches and LIGHTS THE 2X4 ON FIRE! As Marc gets to his feet, he gets right back down as Jack hits him with a running 2x4 shot the face and Marc sells like crazy as the fire immediately dies upon impact. As Jack does the "bang bang " pose, we zoom in on Marc, who is bleeding profusely from the head. Jack goes to the outside, and retrieves the barbed wire board and pushes it into the ring! Cactus with a bodyslam on marc right onto the barbed wire and Marc writhes in pain. Cactus up to the top rope, but Whiskey up immediately and punches him in the face. Whiskey goes up top too, SUPERPLEX ONTO THE BARBED WIRE BOARD!! Whiskey can win here, but instead, he rolls to the outside and retrieves that bucket that Cactus used earlier to light the 2x4 on fire with. He brings it in the ring, then delivers a whiskey buster to Cactus Jack with a great show of stregnth. Whiskey sets the barbed wire board up in the middle of the ring and dumps the content of the bucket on it and grabs a match and the board goes up in flames as the crowd cheers like a bunch of bloodthirsty wolves.

Matt Hardy's music hits, and out comes the apparent ladies man to the ring as the crowd is dead here, not sure whether to cheer or Boo. Matt grabs a microphone.
Matt: "I've been doing a lot of thinking lately, and a lot of great things have happened in my life. I've reinvented myself in the wrestling business, I've overcome a personal situation that made my life a living hell earlier this year, I've overcame injuries, and finally, I met someone. Someone who has meant a lot to me these last few months and someone who I'd like to call to the ring right now. Maria, can you come out here?"
Maria comes out as the crowd cheers. She's all smiles tonight, wearing a lovely green dress. Matt holds the ropes for her and she enters the ring. Matt and her smile at each other and Matt grabs the microphone again.
Maria: "Maria, darling, I wanted everyone to hear this. You know how I feel about you, and I know how you feel about me. I've had some of the best times of my life with you in the recent months, and I wouldn't give those up for anything in the world. Me and you, we make one hell of a team, you're my best friend in the whole world. With that, there's something I've been meaning to ask you since we got back from our vacation.
Matt drops to one knee as the crowd ooo's and ahh's, some still in utter shock. Matt retrives something from his pocket, it's a small box. He opens it up and it's a ring and Maria is all smiles, shining like a diamond with her bright eyes and amazing smile.
Matt: "Maria, will you marry me?"
Maria looks to the crowd, and then at matt and grab's the microphone.
Maria: "Matt.."
Before she can answer, a song hits the P.A. System, and HOLY SHIT, This one sounds familiar, fog fills up the entrance ramp.
"On This day, I can see clearly..."
HOLY SHIT IT'S EDGE AND MATT IS FREAKING OUT IN THE RING!!!!!! Edge, wearing his leather trenchcoat and sunglasses and carrying his briefcase, gets huge heat from the crowd as he plays to the crowd. Matt is going absolutely insane in the ring, kicking the ropes and Maria is just scared and confused.
Edge: "Hey Matt, long time no see wouldn't you say pal? Oh who's that in the ring with you? Is that, Maria Kannelis of former Diva search fame? Actually, I know damn well who you are, you see, I've been following you two around for quite a while, and I came out here to defend you actually."
Matt: "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT YOU SON OF A BITCH!! MARIA, LISTEN TO ME, THIS GUY IS TROUBLE, HE'S THE GUY THAT RUINED MY RELATIONSHIP WITH THAT WHORE, DON'T LISTEN TO HIM, YOU HEAR ME?"
Edge: "Whoa whoa whoa Matty boy, calm down. Maria, he's right, don't listen to me, just watch the tron, I've put together a special video of your two's relationship."
On the tron, a video begans, it's entitled: "The Matt Hardy Show....VERSION XXX." The first shot we see is of edge, who introduces himself before going behind the camera, and uh oh, the first shot is of from when Stacey Keibler was sitting on Matt while he was relaxing on the couch, followed by the kiss. Maria is absolutely shocked as we fade out into another scene.. this time, it's Matt talking, we remember this: Matt: "Yeah, she is, and it's not exactly breathtaking to be able to see someone's ribcage when you're making love. She has no meat on her bones. You, you, you're just flat out breathtaking Torrie. I saw your playboy shoots, and just wow." Now we see Matt spanking Torrie and Maria is shoves matt, yelling at him for lieing to her. We fade into one final scene, and uh oh, it's the doozy as Torrie, then Stacey both walk of the shower, followed by Matt, who wraps his arm around Stacey. Maria is in flat out tears now in the middle of the ring as Edge is laughing on the ramp. Matt is jut freaking out in the ring, clutching his hair with both hands.
Edge: "And there's a longer version too, but you'lle have to buy that at my explicit website. But Maria, I hope I've helped you from making a terrible decision."
Edge walks to the back as Maria is just standing in the ring, looking at matt, like "How could you?" Matt grabs a microphone.
Matt: "Maria, let me explain, it's not what it seems, I can explain everything, I can, really."
Maria snatches the microphone away."
Maria: "Matt Hardy, just go to hell."
Maria runs out of the ring crying, leaving Matt in the ring as he throws an absolute babyfit of rage that made Christian's temper tantrems he use to have look mild.

TRIPLE THREAT US TITLE MATCH
BOOKER T vs COLT CABANA vs CM PUNK
With the crowd in total shock from what they just saw, we go to the US Title match, but the debut of edge and the apparent breakup of one of WCW's favorite couples has completely dwarfed this matches heat. Book gains the early advantage, allowing CM Punk to take out Cabana before he took out CM Punk. Cabana tries to get back in the ring, but An irish whip by CM Punk means book slams into cabana, sending him to the outside and CM back body drops Booker before going up top for an early moonsault, but Book gets the knees up! Cabana finally gets in the ring and takes advantage of a battered CM Punk, with a bearhug into DDT and a swinging neckbreaker. Cabana goes up top for an aerial move on Punk, but Book grabs him and throws him off the ropes. Book with an early scissors kick on Cabana, but CM Punk breaks up the pin. CM throws Booker over the top rope and then german suplexes Cabana! CM Punk locks in the devil's lock submission and yells for Cabana to tap! Right as Cabana is about to tap, book gets right back in the ring and kicks CM in the head. Body slam by Booker on CM and a big legdrop. here's the pin, 1-2-Cabana breaks it up! Cabana with an irish Whip on Booker followed by a flapjack! Baseball slide by Cabana sends Booker to the outside, but turns around to get a kick in the stomach and hammerlock by CM PUNK, PEPSI TWIST!!! CM goes up top, CROOKED LEGGED MOONSAULT! 1-2 Cabana grabs the ropes. Book gets back in the ring and Irish whips CM, spinning heel kick.
Cabana from behind with a schoolboy, 1-2- and the champ kicks out. Punk with a kick to cabana, PUNK HANDLE PILEDRIVER! Punk covers him, but Book breaks it up and sends CM out and over the ropes. He turns around, but cabana is right there, Kryptonite Crunch over the knee! Cabana goes up top, MOONSAULT! It's all over! 1-2- CM Breaks up the pin and kicks Cabana in the stomach, DEVILS LOCK DDT! Book is getting his feet, SHINING WIZARD!! CM now runs to the other side of the ring, SHINING WIZARD ON CABANA and Punk is riled up and feels it. He sets Cabana on the top rope and tries to go for the pepsi plunge, but it's not working , and Booker comes up from behind and puts him on his shoulders. Cabana leaps off of the rope, apparently going for a hurricanrana on Punk, but Punk grabs him WHILE ON BOOKER'S SHOULDERS! He looks to be going for a powerbomb, but the weight is too much and Booker's knees buckle as he falls back to the cavas while CM still managed to get the powerbomb off.. sorta. However, when Punk landed, the back of his head hit off the bottom rope, and he rolled out of the ring, clutching his head in pain. Meanwhile in the ring, the way Cabana and Book landed, to Booker's absolute luck ended up in a pinning predicament! The referee counts while Cabana and Book are out of it, 1-2-3 And BOOK RETAINS THE TITLE WITHOUT EVENING KNOWING IT!!! We have a trainwreck on our hands after that finish, so Meltzer says we better go to a break while the trainers check on these guys.
WINNER: BOOKER T

8 MAN ELIMINATION MATCH INSIDE THE STEEL CAGE
TEAM AUSTIN VS THE FLOCK
The cage has lowered, and it's certainly shorter height-wise then the Hell in the Cell cage by at least 10 feet, as it's probably only 15 feet to the top. The Flock come out first and take the ring to a series of Boo's. Windsor is the first one out for team Austin and gets a decent pop. Next is DDP, who gets a louder pop, followed by Steiner who gets a split decision from the crowd. Finally, the man himself, Steve Austin comes out to the loudest pop of the night and gets in the ring and all hell breaks loose.
FIRST ELIMINATION:
After 3 minutes of action, this is just an all out war, with 8 superstars fighting in the ring at once. The ring clears, leaving Lodi and Scott Steiner in the ring together. Steiner absolutely rings Lodi inside out with a MONSTER clothesline which gets a huge pop from the crowd. Meanwhile, Austin is rubbing Reese's face into the steel cage, and the big man is busted open. Steiner applies the Steiner Recliner, and Lodi taps out and a ref helps him out of the cage.
SECOND ELIMINATION:
Only a minute in a half after the first elimination, We find that the ring has yet again cleared out as superstars much prefer the outside where the steel cage is. Stevie Richards and Adam Windsor both nail each other with superkicks, but Kidman hurries up top and hits the shooting star on Adam Windsor, pinning him and eliminating him from the matchup. Austin could care less, as him and Steiner are having the time of their life beating the hell out of Reese, who's finally starting to tire.
THIRD ELIMINATION:
DDP, on the other hand, immediately rushed into the ring, to try to make the save on Windsor, but Richards got ahold of him, hitting a back body drop. DDP Tried to fight back, but Kidman and Richards were just too much, and even though he took Richards out, Kidman was able to escape a powerbomb by hitting the Kidcrusher and grabbing the tights for a 1-2-3. Now that it's down to 2 on three, the sides regroup.
FOURTH ELIMINATION:
ALL three remaining flock members immediately attacked Steve Austin in the ring, leaving Steiner to choose which one of them to take on. He unfortunately choose Kidman, hitting a german suplex behind and a belly to belly suplex over the ropes which took Kidman out of it. Steiner ppicked up the stairs and hit Kidman right in the head, busting him wide open. Steiner threw kidman back in the ring and through the ropes. Steiner immediately goes for the pin, and at the same time, Austin fights back from the reese/Richards double team. He shoves Richards off and Richards goes flying out of the ring. Steiner gets the 1-2-3 on Kidman
FIFTH ELIMINATION:
But not as soon as Austin hits Reese with a stunner and covers him for the 1-2-3, leaving Richards from an advantage to a HUGE disadvantage, as now it's just Steiner and Austin vs himself. Richards runs to the outside, and Steiner goes to chase after him, but Austin turns him around, KICK TO THE STOMACH, STUNNER TO STEINER!!!!! Austin flips the bird to Steiner for no apparent reason as the crowd absolutely loves this unexpected Steve Austin move, as he's simply had Steiner do his dirty work before taking him out himself! Austin leave and heads for the door.
SIXTH ELIMINATION:
Stevie immediately jumps in the ring as Austin heads for the cage door. As Stevie gets the 1-2-3, little does he know that AUSTIN IS PADLOCKING THE DOOR SHUT WITH A CHAIN!! Richards finally see's and uh oh, this isn't looking good at all, as Stevie is now on his knees begging Austin not to hurt him
FINAL ELIMINATION:
Austin has a sadistic look in his eye and delivers right hands to Stevie, irish whip, LOU THESZ PRESS AND MOUNTED PUNCHES. Austin gives the two finger salute elbow drop to the face and Stevie is down! Austin goes outside and grabs a steel chair from under the ring. Stevie's up, and Stevie's back down with an absolutely brutal chairshot.Austin picks up Richards, mule kick to the gut, STUNNER and richards hits the ground. Austin goes to pin him but pulls his shoulders back up, Austin picks him up, another kick to the gut, ANOTHER STUNNER!! In a hillarious sell job, Richards does a back flip and a cartwheel, topping the time Kanyon did a cartwheel out of the ring a few years ago. The crowd laughs as Austin Celebrates pins Richards, easily getting the 1-2-3 here. Austin's music hits and he celebrates on all four turnbuckles, getting a bit of redemption on the flock. Austin is about to leave the ring, but as he gets to the middle, the lights go out.
After a few seconds, the lights go back on, RAVEN IS STANDING BEHIND AUSTIN!!!!!!! Raven looks like he hasn't changed his clothes in a month as he extends his hands out and looks up to the sky behind Austin. He turns Austin around, EVEN FLOW DDT!!!! Raven throws Austin to the outside and hits another Evenflow, this time on a chair!! Raven pulls something out of his hands, IT'S HANDCUFFS!! He handcuff's each of Austin's arms to the cage!! Where have we seen this before? But wait, he goes under the ring and pulls out some rope too! He wraps it around Austin's legs and through the cage, tieing it in a not. Raven puts his thumbs up in the air, motioning for the cage to go up! THE CAGE GOES UP IN THE AIR WITH AUSTIN STILL ON IT!!! Raven gets back in the ring and sadistically laughs as There's nothing Austin can do to break free!!
Meltzer: "RAVEN? WHERE THE HELL DID HE COME FROM? WE THOUGHT HE WAS DEAD! THIS IS INSANE, SOMEONE HELP THAT MAN!!!"
WINNER: TEAM AUSTIN
<M:60% C:72% O:68%>
<=:=><=:=>WAR GAMES RULE RUNDOWN<=:=><=:=>
We come back to the Arena and Austin is still attached to the cage, yelling at the workers down below to help him. Meanwhile, a huge forklift has been driven to ringside and is pushing the rings together as the groundscrew tries their hardest to get the ring ready for war games. The cage finally lowers and Austin is cut free and he runs to the back, obviously looking for revenge.

(#) = denotes elimination number
In the early going, newcomer Austin Aries immediately attacked CM Punk to start the match off and here we got as it's pure mayhem in the ring. Within the first minute, we saw numerous things. Tajiri and Whipwreck working together as a tag team, Austin Aries and CM Punk going at almost exclusively in the center ring as the majority of the superstars took up the 1st and third ring, with only a handful in the middle ring, which is obvious that it'll be the "exclusive" ring in this matchup. Matt Hardy and Edge are also in the middle ring simply going at it, and actually, it looks like they're seriously going blow for blow in the ring, not faking it at all! Vito and Snow work together as well as Whiskey Marc and Mick Foley are another two almost only attacking each other. Ruckus is all over the place, as is Elix Skipper, as the two fly through the air hitting anyone and everyone. Our first elimination comes at the hands of DDP, who hits ace steel(1) with the diamond cutter for the 1-2-3. Air Paris(2) is the neck to go via a sitout powerbomb by Sean O'Haire. Steve Blackman(3) is the next man eliminated after Vito hit a monster spinebuster on him via Al Snow's command. Howver, Steiner started jawing with Snow, obviously sick of the way he's running the justice department. Vito went to attack Steiner, but Steiner hit him with a low blow! Al Snow went for a quick rollup on Steiner, which obviously didn't work. Steiner is pissed now as He kicks snow in the face and slaps on the Steiner Recliner on Vito(4) for a tap out. Steiner whips Al Snow and hits another big boot on Snow(5) and covers him for another elimination.
5 superstars gone within the first 5 minutes and mini rivalries are apparent here, as these guy's obviously have agendas here. Devils Lock DDT by Punk onto Alex Wright(6) for the elimination as he was able to break free from Austin Aries assault long enough to eliminate someone. The Amazing Red(7) is the next to go after Ruckus hits the falcon Arrow. At this point, the weapons cache has been dispersed of and the ring is full of Kendo sticks, metal signs, a few chairs, and a couple tables are even set up on the outside. Whipwreck, Konnan and Austin Lee all fought their way out of the cage and started to brawl on the ramp. RUCKUS climbed to the top of the cage via one of the rope ladders on the inside of the cage, and all 3 superstars on the ground prepared for Ruckus's splash, a simply amazing BACKFLIP CORKSCREW DIVE OFF THE TOP OF THE CAGE that took all 3 superstars to the ground. Ruckus almost immediately got up and one by one pinned Whipwreck(8), Konnan(9) and Austin Lee(10) as the crowd marked out hard with Holy shit chants for that one, and we're 1/3rd the way through this match.
Meanwhile, Homicide takes advantage of an obviously sore Ruckus on the outside, running out of the cage and hitting a huge clothesline on him and covering him for the 1-2-3 and Ruckus(11) is gone. Back in the ring, Sean O'Haire is in the center ring with Sexxxy Eddie, Bodyslam, SEANTON BOMB! 1-2-3 and Sexxxy Eddie(12) is gone. Our first debuting superstar is eliminated after Elix Skipper Tried for one flashy move too many, as Booker T powerbombed him as he was attempting a top rope hurricanrana and pinned ELIX SKIPPER(13) for the 1-2-3. Windsor is the next one gone at the hands of one of his disgruntled partners earlier in the match, as Steiner suplerplexed him off the top rope for the 1-2-3 and Adam Windsor(14) is gone. Paul Birchall(15) is eliminated next after falling victim to a ddt by Austin Arie and an Eddie Guerrero frogsplash for the 1-2-3.
Jindrak(16) is eliminated via a Whiskey Marc Whiskey Buster. At the same time, Foley eliminated Edge(17) after a double arm DDT, helping out Matt Hardy. Foley and Marc continued brawling outside the ring after that, hitting each other with chairs. However, right as Hardy was catching his breath, Tajiri caught him with the kick of death, and that eliminated Matt Hardy(18). Sean O'Haire eliminated Homicide(19) next following a superkick and a huge ledrop. Finally, the last of the Debuting superstars was eliminated, as Punk finally got the better of him after they were nearly brawling all match, As Punk hit the pepsi plunge as the remaining superstars watched him eliminate Austin Aries(20)
Foley and Marc battled all over the arena and up the ramp, going at one another despite their earlier war. Foley hit a pulling piledriver on Whiskey Marc on the steel entrance ramp before starting to accend to the top of the cage. He challenged marc to go up there with him, and Marc obliged and the two started exchanging blows up top. In the ring, DDP(21) was the next eliminated via a Eddie Guerrero LASSO FROM EL PASSO. Tajiri(22) followed, as CM Punk hit the shining wizard on him while he was getting to his feet. Meanwhile, on the top of the cage, Foley/Cactus Jack had gained an upper hand on Whiskey Marc as the two neared closer and closer to the edge of the cage. Out of no where, Whiskey with a low blow uppercut and threw Cactus 15 feet off the steel cage through the spanish announce table as the crowd chanted Holy shit to that one, bringing back the sickening nostalgia of 1998 king of the ring. Medics attended to Foley(23), as he's apparently out of the match. After that, Marc(24) looked at the chaos he had caused in the ring, climbed down from the cage and walked away from the match, satisfied with what he had just done. At about that time, Sean O'Haire(25) was met with a Cabana moonsault as the only ref still watching the match after Foley's plunge counted the pinfall.
Action stopped in the ring for several minutes as Booker T, CM Punk, Colt Cabana, Eddie Guerrero and Scott Steiner stood away from each other as paramedics loaded Foley onto a stretcher. Foley gave a thumbs up as he was fitted with a neckbrace and carted away from ringside. Back in the ring, the superstars remaining went at it. It's ironic that all 3 superstars involved in the US Title match earlier are still left. Well, that was the case until CM Punk got some much needed revenge on Cabana, making Colt Cabana(26) tap out to the Devils lock submission. Booker T and Eddie Guerrero each had chairs in hand, and CM Picked up a kendo stick, leaving Steiner shit out of luck. Steiner said what the hell and tried to attack Eddie, but got a chair shot from Eddie for his actions. Book followed up with another chairshot and CM Punk finally finished the deal with a kendo stick shot between the eyes. Eddie Guerrero went to the top rope first, FROG SPLASH to Steiner. CM went up next, CROOKED LEGGED MOONSAULT onto Steiner! Finally, Booker went to the top rope, HARLEM HANGOVER! Book pinned Steiner(27) for the 1-2-3. But wait, before you could blink an eye, Eddie Guerrero got a rollup in on Book and held the tights, 1-2-3 and Eddie has eliminated Booker T!(28) It's down to 2 ladies and gentlemen as Eddie Guerrero and CM Punk remain, the next pinfall wins it.
CM Extends a hand to Eddie Guerrero, and Eddie shakes it! The two circle each other before they tie up. Eddie gains the quick advantage with a headlock, CM with a back suplex and a standing moonsault for a quick two count! CM kicks Eddie while he's down and Irish whips him, back body drop! CM picks up Eddie and goes to the top rope, REVERSE TORNADO DDT, 1-2-KICKOUT AT 2.999. It's apparent that CM is the freshest of the two in the match. CM hits the running yakuza kick in the corner and calls for the pepsi plunge! He sets Eddie up on the top rope and gets up top! He has Eddie between his legs and this should be it, BUT EDDIE BACK BODY DROPS PUNK OFF THE TOP ROPE!!! Punk is in position now, FROG SPLASH!!!!!!! Eddie covers punk, 1-2-3 and EDDIE GUERRERO HAS PINNED CM PUNK(29) AND WILL FACE THE HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMP AT STARCADE!! Eddie climbs to the top of the cage and celebrates his victory!
WINNER: EDDIE GUERRERO

I've been working on this PPV for 3 AND A HALF HOURS!!
This is your 1 hour contest warning. PPV Will be up within an hour
-
This being your first show, I really like the style, it's nice and simple, very easy to read and I think you have great potential here.
What I don't like is JBL on Velocity, it simply wouldn't happen. Also, I could possibly see Book main eventing a velocity every once in awhile, but having Christian interfere and starting a feud on velocity is yet again something that WWE wouldn't do.
I do, however, like that you had a couple matches between talent you would find on Velocity. You should, in my opinon, use velocity and heat for video segments and more of these type of matches, sticking true to their form.
But you do have a reader in me and I do enjoy the style quite a bit, keep it up

- RATINGS -
Primetime:
WWE - 6.03
WCW - 5.88
ECW - 5.49
TNA - 3.11
Despite what many call a weak show, WCW came within .15 points of WWE. Eric Bischoff was said to be very happy after getting the ratings report.
BENOIT INJURY UPDATE
Chris Benoit underwent successful knee surgery this weekend and is reportedly in good spirits despite being depressed about the fact he may miss close to a year and a half of action. Benoit, who is 38, is warned by doctors that if he goes back to wrestling as usual, he could risk permanently damaging his knee, which likely means we'll see less matches from Benoit when he returns.
SCOTT STEINER CONTRACT SITUATION
After last nights' Nitro, we found out that Scott Steiner's contract situation has been settled and the creative department has found a proper place for his character. We're glad to see Scott not be released from WCW.
WAR GAMES RUMORS
There are several rumors floating around regarding war games. For instance, the Tag Team title match is going to be aired BEFORE War Games actually starts on their pay per view hype program. This has a lot of people confused, as it stands now, there is plenty of room to fit that match on the PPV card. Another room that's been hitting message boards a lot lately is that several superstars may be making their debut during the 30 man battle royal, we'll keep you posted if we hear anything.

WCW War Games contest
Alright, here's the War Games contest for the upcoming card. We've got a defending champ in Crossface, who's won twice in a row now. Speaking of Crossface, his prize for the last contest victory was he got to book a match at War Games, and he chose the US Title triple threat match.
You know the rules, the first person to get the most points wins the contest and the contest ends as soon as War games is posted, which will probably be in a couple days or so. Bold the superstar or write it in for bonuses/questions who you think will win.

Meltzer: "What a night it should be as we're on the path to War Games, this Sunday only on pay per view."
Coach: "Speaking of War Games Meltzer, did you hear Eric Bischoff's press conference last week?"
Meltzer: "I certainly did, 30 men, 3 rings and a steel cage lined with weapons surrounding them. The winner gets a shot at the heavyweight champ at starcade!"
BREAK THE WALLS DOWN....
Meltzer: "And here comes our "oh so beloved" WCW Heavyweight Champion, Chris Jericho."
Coach: "What's wrong with the highlight of the night?"
Meltzer: "Highlight of the night my ass, I'm surprised he was even able to get his ego through the door in this arena"
Coach and Meltzer squabble about Jericho while he does his poses as the crowd boo's. He gets in the ring and grabs a mic.
Y2J: "So it appears as though I finally have an opponent at War Games. A no-talent Y2J Wannabe Jackass I beat just a few weeks ago on this very show, or should I say, my very show, Monday Night Jericho. And I have to wonder if Eric Bischoff is even trying at this point. He knows there isn't anyone in the world who can defeat Chris Jericho. But none the less, I have to give Bischoff a large ammount of credit for continuing to have me defeat these assclowns week in and week out, because, we all know stock in Y2J is the hottest commodity right now, hell, I hear Billy Boy over at Microsoft is buyin' stock in Y2J by the millions. And we all know The Donald has my phone ringing off the hook, asking for a photo op with the man. Then of course, I've got the hundreds of lovely young trash in the back all over me, sneaking into my locker room, leaving photos and cards and flowers for Y2J, Because you know all the women in the world want to spend the night with the highlight himself. So I guess the only reason I'm out here is to tell Christian that he can huff and he can puff all he wants, but he'll never be able to blow down Y2J's Mansion. And Another thing.."
Christian's music hits, and out comes Captain Charisma. Meltzer and Coach continue arguing after Meltzer makes the comment he's glad someone finally shut up Jericho.
Christian: "It appears as if the only one who's doing any huffing and puffing is you Chris, you seem to be one big bag of hot air tonight. If you would shut up for just a second, you would hear that these fans absolutely hate you."
Y2J: "They only hate me because they can't be me, babay. And you only hate me, because you cant have this."
Y2J holds the world title up in the air, and Christian puts the mic to his mouth, but instead, he just drops it and goes running down the ramp and slides into the ring. Jericho kicks him while he's trying to get to his feet! The crowd errupts as Christian reverses Jericho's Irish whip and hits him with a spinebuster! Christian has the world title and absolutely floors Jericho with it as soon as he gets to his feet and turns around. The crowd goes crazy and Christian puts the world title on his shoulder and grabs the mic.
Christian: "Take a good look at this scene, because this Sunday Chris, the only thing what will be different is that there will be a ref by my side with my hand raised, declaring me, the new World Heavyweight Champion!"
Christian throws down the belt on Jericho before leaving, what a way to kick off Nitro!

RUCKUS AND AUSTIN LEE VS AIR RAID (PARIS AND BIRCHALL)
This was suppose to be Blackout vs Air Raid, but with Sabian still out after that powerbomb through the glass by Whiskey Marc, Ruckus has decided to team with Austin Lee, good idea. Ruckus almost immediately went from the Razzle Dazzle within the opening 2 minutes of the match, but birchall gave him a dropkick for his efforts followed by a series or elbow drops. Tag to Paris and they double team ruckus with a double verticle suplex. Ruckus in a world of hurt by Paris, who has been nothing but offense here. Irish whip by Paris, but ruckus hits a flying wheel kick and finally gets to the tag to Austin Lee, who delivers and armdrag to Birchall and a Hiptoss to Paris and the two leave the ring to regroup. Lee goes up and over with a springboard shooting star press onto the two. As the three are getting to their feet, Ruckus up top and dives off with a beautiful moonsault and it looks like we have a car wreck on the outside. Austin Lee is the first to his feet and rolls Paris in the ring. Lee slaps on the crimson cloverleaf as Ruckus holds Birchall's leg so he can't make the save, giving Paris no choice but to tap out. Lee celebrates in the ring while Ruckus just walks up the ramp.
WINNERS: RUCKUS AND AUSTIN LEE

Backstage, we see Matt Hardy and Maria in their locker room.
Maria: "So you promise you'lle be back at the hotel before midnight?"
Matt: "I promise babe, I wanna spend some time with the boys backstage, I haven't got to chill with them since we got back from our vacation."
Maria: "Well ok, but if you're not back at the hotel by midnight, I'll beat you up!"
Matt: "Babe, you can beat me up any day of the week!"
The two smile and share a kiss, reassuring us that their relationship isn't on rocky grounds.

SEAN O'HAIRE VS BIG VITO
Al Snow is in Vito's ear all the way down to the ring and even after O'haire is in the ring. Stacey, as always, is hot as hell tonight decked in leather, giving the crowd something to cheer about as these two heels are about to go at it. The ref finally gets Al Snow to leave and here we go. Test of stregnth in the early going, Vito muscles a win from that one and takes control with punches to O'Haire and a big body slam. High elevation on the legdrop by vito, who covers O'Haire without hooking the leg for a 1 count. Snow is yelling at him to hook the leg, which takes Vito's attention off of O'Haire, who dropkicks Vito to the outside. Snow tries to help Vito up, but O'Haire goes up and over the ropes with a splash onto the two. Sean throws Vito back in the ring and goes for the Seanton bomb early, but Vito moves out of the way. O'Haire gets to his feet almost immediately, but stumbles into the corner and is met by a Big Vito splash. Vito goes to whip O'Haire into the other corner, but O'Haire jumps onto the second turnbuckle and climbs up top. He kicks vito in the gut and TORNADO DDT! 1-2-KICKOUT! O'Haire with a bodyslam and he's going up top again, Snow grabs onto O'Haires leg, not allowing him to set up on the top. As the ref's dealing with Snow, O'Haire gets back in the ring and hit's Vito with a low blow and Al Snow doesn't look happy, as he saw it but the ref didn't! O'Haire with a powerbomb on the big man for the 1-2-3 pinfall and Al Snow is frustrated. Snow and Vito exchange words in the ring before heading the lockerroom.
WINNER: SEAN O'HAIRE

Backstage, Animal and The Hurricane are in a weight lifting area working out, Animal is benching an enormous ammount of weight and Hurricane is spotting him. Ellering is sitting on a bench, reading a newspaper
Hurricane: "Damn, that's a lot of weight, and you're a lot older then me! You're in hurri-credible condition!"
Animal: "Been lifting weights all my life man, I love being stronger then my opponents, and all this muscle allows for much harder clotheslines and more powerful powerbombs!"
Just then, Sinister Minister, Whipwreck and Tajiri walk up to them and the two teams stand eye to eye.
Hurricane: "Mikey, what happened man? We use to be friends."
Minister: "Mikey has returned to his roots and has rejoined with me and Tajiri, they are the Sinister Creation, the deadliest tag team in WCW, if not the world today!"
Animal: "Deadliest tag team? Deadliest tag team? These two pukes? I bet I could bench more then their weight, combined! Paul, come over here."
Paul Ellering puts down his newspaper and walks over to the confrontation.
Animal: "Paul, how deadly do these guys look to you?"
Ellering: "These three make mean faces and call themselves sinister because they know deep down, they're nothing but cowards. We're the Legion of Doom, we've made a reputation for being a team that no other teams wanted to work with, and you call yourself deadly. That makes me sick."
Minister: "If you don't believe us, we'll prove it to you. This Sunday, Sinister Creation against the Legion of Doom, you bring the tag titles and we'll bring the deadliest combination in the game, the Whipper Snapper and the kick of death."
Ellering: "If that's a challenge, Then you know we except, because LOD doesn't back down from a challenge!"
Sinister Minister laughs out loud before him Sinister Creation simply walking away, getting what they wanted apparently.

We come back, and the Flock are standing by backstage.
Stevie: "Steve Austin, yet again last week, you must attack me and try to take me out early, because you realize that in the ring, you can't step to Stevie Richards, you can't step to Billy Kidman, he'll you can't even step to Torrie! And I can't wait until we get you inside of that steel cage, you and whoever you can even find to be willing to team up with you."
Billy Kidman: "I'm sick and tired of being overlooked by guys like you Austin. I can't stand it. This sunday, I'm going to hit you in the middle of that room with the shooting star press so finally, finally, guys like you will realize that guys like me, are just as good.
Reese: "Austin, partners, FEAR ME. "
Lodi: "Everyone always overlooks Lodi, he's just the signboy, he's the just the cheerleader, no one needs to be afraid of him. But Austin, this Sunday, inside of that steel cage, you're going to see a different side of Lodi, The real me is going to stop hiding in the closet and come out and display my true side!"
Stevie: "What you have here is 4 men who know how to work as a team, how to function as a team, how to know when one another are in danger and how to defeat a rag tag group of.."
DDP comes walking into the picture and stares at Stevie Richards before grabbing the microphone away.
DDP: "Whoa whoa, did I just hear you call Austin's team "rag tag." Let me tell you something, I don't know who the other two guys are, but when Steve Austin came up and asked me if I wanted to kick some flock ass, I remembered the days of old, when I use to beat you guys week in and week out, and I told him, "Oh Hell yeah". So Stevie, you better shut your mouth, because this Sunday, you're going to feel the BANG!"
DDP Walks off, leaving the flock disgruntled and talking amongst themselves.

Meltzer: "Well, I'm not looking forward to this one, put the women and children to bed, this is a pain tour match courtesy
of our Hardcore psycho Whiskey Marc."
WHISKEY MARC VS SEXXXY EDDIE
Whiskey March hits the ring, wielding a chair wrapped in barbed wire. Sexxxy Eddie receives a small pop as he's wielding out a metal grocery cart full of goodies. He grabs a kendo stick from it and gets in the ring. Eddie throws Kendo stick shots at Marc, who just blocks them with the chair. Marc Kicks Eddie in the stomach and goes to hit him in the back with the chair, But Eddie hits the ground and goes out of the ring. Marc is quick to follow, and he chases eddie around the ring with the chair. Eddie goes under the ring! The crowd laughs as Marc doesn't want to follow him under there. Marc lifts up the skirting and gets hit in the face by the blast of a fire extinguisher! He drops the barbed wire chair and Eddie goes after him as he tries to clear his eyes. Eddie pulls out a small no parking metal sign from the cart and hits Marc with it numerous times. Marc is still blinded as Eddie goes up top and jumps off, hitting Marc with the sign and Marc hits the ground! Eddie has the crowd behind him now! Eddie goes back outside and retrieves his Kendo stick! Eddie wacks Marc right between the eyes with the Kendo stick 3 times while Marc is on his knees! Marc is busted open!! Sexxxy Eddie is in firm control now and goes for another shot, but Marc with a low blow uppercut that takes the life out of Eddie. He sets Eddie up and lifts him above his head for a powerbomb, but doesn't drop him, instead, walking over to the ring ropes.
Meltzer: "Oh god no, he's going to powerbomb him through that shopping cart that shopping cart!"
Just as the worst is about to happen, Cactus Jack jumps the railing and grabs the barbed wire chair on the way into the ring.. MARC DOESN'T SEE HIM! Cactus with a huge shot the Marc's back with the barbed wire chair. Eddie breaks free and Marc is writhing in pain from that brutal shot. Cactus throws the chair on the ground and turns Whiskey around, DOUBLE ARM DDT ON THE BARBED WIRE CHAIR!! Eddie immediately goes for the cover, 1-2-3!!!! Sexxxy Eddies has defeated Whiskey Marc with the help of Cactus Jack! Cactus grabs a microphone and goes back in the ring and lays down right next to the fallen Whiskey Marc.
Cactus: "You thought I was just going to walk away, didn't you? Well let me tell you something, I went to Eric Bischoff, and I asked him if I could have the most brutal, barbaric, bloody match in WCW history, and you know what he told me, "only if it s on pay per view". So you know what Marc, you may not want to face me, but you don't have any damn choice. This Sunday, the Whiskey Marc pain tour continues, but it's going to be derailed by the Cactus Jack hardcore reunion train! BANG BANG!"
The crowd cheers at what they've just seen, not only has someone shut up Whiskey Marc, but someone beat him at his own game as well!!

REY MYSTERIO VS SONNY SIAKI, CRUISERWEIGHT TITLE MATCH
Siaki is out first and cuts a promo about how great he is and how he's the next big thing in WCW. It's apparent that this is just turning into a cheap Rock rip off, as he's finishing his promos with "If you smell, what the Siak, is cooking!" None the less, the crowd seems to enjoy it and Sonny Siaki is able to pull of the look and character surprisingly well. Mysterio out next to a good pop and here we go.
Siaki gains the upperhand in the early going, but Rey regains control with a headscissors and a series of arm drags before hitting a frankensteiner! Rey with the irish whip but Siaki rverses and sends Rey high into the air, and lets him land stomach first on the canvas, that took the wind out of him. Floatover DDT by Siaki and he hooks the leg for a two count. Siaki delivers right hands that are strikingly similar to The Rock,s before Irish whipping and hitting another Rock like move, the clothesline! Rey fights back with punches to the stomach before hitting the ropes and getting a two count following a sunset flip, but siaki kicks Rey to get out of it. Siaki grabs the legs and flips over for the pin, getting a 2 count. Siaki throws Rey Mysterio right over the top rope and climbs to the top. He dives off, but misses Rey Mysterio, who sidestepped Siaki as he went crashing to the outside, hitting his chin on the guardrail. Rey stands on the apron as Siaki slowly gets to his feet, Rey jumps off, Hurricanrana. Both superstars are down on the outside with the ref counting, who actually throws out the match! This one's been declared a double countout as both superstars lay on the outside, battered from their short yet extremely fast paced matchup
WINNER: DOUBLE COUNT OUT

Backstage, we see a locker room door that's been cracked open about halfway, Inside, a shower is going and a girl is laughing and it sounds like she's having a good time. The shower stops and we hear voices talking in the locker room. After about 30 secounds, Torrie walks out of what appears to be a big changing room, not belonging to anyone in particular. The crowd cheers as Torrie walks by the camera in the a towel. After 15 more seconds, everyone is curious to see who is going to come out next, and IT'S STACEY KEIBLER!! The crowd pops hard for that one, as Stacey licks her lips while adjusting her towel. The crowd's cheers are suddenly met with absolutely silence and shock, as MATT HARDY WALKS OUT WEARING A TOWEL AND DRAPES HIS ARM AROUND STACEY!!!
Matt: "Well, that was fun to say the least."
Stacey: "oooh yeah,"
Matt: "Well uh, I have to go back to my hotel room now.."
Stacey: "You're so whipped for that girl Matt, lighten up, stud"
The two go their seperate way as the crowd is definitely shocked at this one. Not only did Matt Hardy lie to Maria, he cheated on her!!!

<=:=><=:=>Intro and Pyro<=:=><=:=>
We come back and see Meltzer and Coach on camera.
Meltzer: "Well as shocking turn of events we just saw, we have another shocker for you hear, We have just found out that Sonny Siaki and Rey Mysterio will battle it out in a Ladder match for the cruiserweight title in a war games rematch!"
Coach: "How can you care about that.. did you see what I just saw, Torrie, Stacey, and MATT?! That lucky son of a..."
Meltzer: "The man is cheating on his girlfriend!
Coach: "Who can blame him, Stacey, and Torrie?!"
We cut to Eric Bischoff's office now and we see Bischoff looking a bit nervous with sweat on his forehead, the camera zooms out and it's none other then STEVE AUSTIN!!
Austin: "Eric, ya call me in here for this meeting, now start talking."
Eric: "Well Steve, the board of directors, they just wanted me inform you that as commissioner, you are being put under review for 30 days."
Austin: "What the hell does that mean Eric, plain and simple."
Eric: "Well, what it means is, you should umm.. be on your best behavior in the coming week. No more drinking beer on the job and no more booking matches as a way to get revenge on people."
Austin: "So what you're saying is, Stone Cold can't do his the job the way he see's fit. He has to play little games, wear suit and tie, not drink beer and be a flat out sissy, that kinda reminds me of someone I know Eric.."
Eric: "Listen Steve, it's not my choice. I use to hate you just as much as you probably hate them, but I've grown to like your actions. If it was up to me, this whole thing wouldn't even be happening, but it is Austin. We have investors, we have sponsors, and I hate to say it, but I don't have the absolute final decision over the board."
Austin: "Alright Eric, I'll play their little games, but as for this Sunday at War Games, if you expect me to go easy on the Flock, you can forget about it. I'm rollin into war games to kick ass, whether them sons of bitches on the board like it or not."
Eric: "By the way, have you decided who your two other partners are going to be? I need to know just so I don't double book them for that night."
Austin: "Well actually Eric, I have. I decided that Since The Flock has a really big bastard and a really little bastard, I'd take a big bastard and a little bastard as well. That being said, my other two partners are going to be, Adam Windsor, and Scott Steiner!"
Eric: "I suspended Scott Steiner!"
Austin: "And I reinstated him Eric, do you have a problem with that?"
Eric: "I wish you would consult me before you make those decisions."
Austin: "Well Eric, what's that old saying, Wish in one hand and ..."
The crowd laughs as we cut back to the arena for our main event.

BOOKER T AND CM PUNK VS ACE STEEL AND COLT CABANA
A fairly weak main event, but you can't really blame the booking department for this one after the huge loss of Chris Benoit, a loss that has left WCW without many top faces in the company. Cabana and Steel hold the experience advantage here and use it to their advantage, as CM and Book can't find a rhythm in the early going. Finally CM catches Cabana with a powerslam and the match shifts to CM and Book's advantage around midmatch. Book gets the tag and goes on an offensive flurry, hitting Cabana with chops before Steel runs in, only to be taken down with a back body drop. CM Punk goes to work on Steel, throwing him over the top rope and following him outside with a slingshot splash. Back in the ring, Cabana and Booker exchange blows before Booker gets the knee lift to the stomach, setting Cabana up for the scissors kick. Booker hits the ropes just as CM was trying to get into the ring, sending CM crashing to the outside, hitting the guardrail, Book stops and looks at CM to make sure he's ok, but Cabana rolls him up, 1-2-KICKOUT! And Cabana takes advantage of Booker while Steel and CM go at it on the outside. It looks as though Book may be gaining momentum and bounces off the ropes, but Cabana catches him with a bearhug, But wait... DDT by Cabana, that's definitely a deadly move right there and here's the cover, 1-2-KICKOUT! CM and Steel have fought their way up the ramp now and are completely out of view. In the ring, Cabana and Book go at it, Cabana gaining the upper hand on the US Champ. Tornado snap suplex and Cabana goes for the pin. Cabana drapes his feet on the top rope and the ref doesn't see it! 1-2-3 and Cabana has stolen this one as he quickly leaves the ring as Book is fast to his feet.
Meltzer: "What a victory for Cabana, he just pinned the US CHAMP! Will he be able to do the same at War Games?! Folks, see you Sunday at WCW WAR GAMES !"

Benoit took an absolute plunge.
brawl: 44, speed: 47 tech: 56
Downright Brutal stat drop. What makes me so angry is I teased a downright Benoit-Jericho feud for so long, and was planning on starting it REALLY soon, but now this, ugh.
'
Also I figured out a way to display the true Whiskey Marc to you guys, so you can see exactly what he looks like, or at least, what he should. I'm going to capture the entrance of his CAW I made of him from WM21 for xbox and upload it sometime soon. Too bad I couldn't find my old PS1 and Attitude, his entrance was downright hillarious. You have this big badass looking guy with a red afro do Gangrel's entrance.. it looked like he was drunk. Anyways, Nitro coming within a few hours.

Things have finally fell into a niche as these ratings have been very stable as of late. Nothing new to report here.
TERRY FUNK INVADES WCW PRESS CONFERENCE
Terry Funk recently showed up at an Eric Bischoff press conference in an attempt to ruin it. Many say that Funk went at his own will, rather then being paid by Paul Heyman to do it. Either way, his interruptance was just as big as Eric Bischoff's War Games announcement!
THE ROCK RESPONDS
Last night on Nitro, we saw Sonny Siaki in a different form. Siaki was obviously imitating The Rock, and according to many in the internet wrestling community, he played his role quite well. The Rock was reached for comment this morning and said that he thought that the segment was "utter garbage" and that "No one could rival the electricity the rock brings to professional wrestling"
FOLEY DEBUTS!!
Last Monday, we saw Mick Foley make his return to professional wrestling defending his hardcore legend status on Nitro. It is unknown whether he has signed a written deal with WCW at this point, but we had been expecting him to work some dates for Eric Bischoff at some point. He certainly adds to the starpower that WCW deperately needs in their war against ECW

I want to respond to WCW's Whiskey Marc comment. He's not being portrayed the way I want him to be, and I too am not liking him.
He started out as a funny creation in WWE Attitude a long ass time ago, and from there, me and my friend just took him further. He's always been a CAW in all our games, we've written stories about him, developed a feud with ICP..etc etc, and I'm sad to say, it's just not working out the way I wanted it to.
As far as the Raven-Austin feud,

WCW Monday Night Nitro
Monday, November 14th, 2005
Meltzer: "Welcome to Monday Nitro on UPN!"
Coach: "What a show it's gonna be."
Meltzer: "You said it coach, and what a great main event we have lined up for you, Christian vs Chris Benoit, with the number one contendership on the line."
The Flocks music hits and out they come! Lodi, Kidman, Reese, and Steven Richards hit the ring and all sit in a corner of the ring as Richards grabs a microphone and stand in the middle of the ring.
Richards: "Cut the music. The Flock will not stand by and be witness to the tragedy that has occured. Our fearless leader, the unholy savior that is known as Raven was viciously sacrificed by that heathen Steve Austin, and we will not go silently. As Raven's chosen few, we will fight on his behalf despite the fact that his physical presence isn't here. We will defend the man who has taught us oh so much about the true pain of life. We may be the outcasts to a society driven by MTV and fast food and SUV's in an image dependent world, but we aren't quitters. We haven't quit following the words of Raven in his absence, and we haven't quit fighting. So Steve Austin, get out here and receive what you having coming to you!"
GLASS SHATTERS and out comes Austin to a roaring ovation for our first big pop of the night. Austin grabs a microphone from the outside and gets in the ring, where all the Flock members but Richards quickly leave the ring.
Austin: "Let me get this straight you measily mouthed bastard, you called out Stone Cold Steve Austin?"
Richards: "That's exactly what I did Austin. You have this perception that everyone's afraid of you Austin, we'll I'm not, and neither was RAVEN!"
Austin: "You come out here and run your little mouth, Raven this and Raven that, all I hear out of your mouth is how great Raven is. Well you little bastard, you better find a new savior, because Raven's gone, and he's not coming back ya dumb bastard. "
Richards: "You act as if your words are fact. It is true that Raven has disapeared, and whether he returns or not, even I, second in command of the Flock, don't know. But what I do know is that Raven started a war with you, and at War Games, we, the fearless soldiers, plan to finish it. Austin, we challenge you to a four on four Wargames match inside that 3 ring steel structure at War Games."
Austin: "Let me get this straight, you want Stonecold to find 3 bastards to team with him to take on, you four, at War Games? Son, you just wrote a check your ass can't cash, And that's the bottom line.."
Austin kicks him in the gut, STUNNER!!! Richards goes rolling out of the ring.
Austin: "Cause Stone Cold SAID SO!"
The Flock regroup on the outside and Austin walks right past them and up the ramp, back turned to them, showing he's obviously not afraid.

ADAM WINDSOR VS ALEX WRIGHT
Alex Wright? Where's he been lately, he seemed to disappear after all those battle royals a couple months ago. Great display of speed and technicity in this one. Wright had the weight advantage, but that didn't matter as Windsor took control early with a headscissors takedown followed by an armbar. Midmatch, Wright faught back, hitting a german suplex which took the life out of Windsor. He went uptop, but missed a big splash and Windsor took control, hitting a dropkick to the chest and then a shining wizard. Windsor goes to the outside and hits a springboard cannonball legdrop on Alex Wright for the two count but he has the crowd behind him now. Windsor calls for the superkick but Wright ducks it, kicks Windsor in the stomach and Irish whips him. Windsor ducks a clothesline, SUPERKICK! 1-2-3 and Windsor wins this one as he's on a roll as of late as he celebrates in the ring.
WINNER: ADAM WINDSOR

Backstage, we see Matt Hardy and Torrie Wilson sitting at a table in some sort of green room or something, as there's tables of food set up. Apparently they are enjoying a meal. Matt has a plate full of food, while it looks like torrie just has a few vegatables and a small salad.
Matt: "I'm telling you Torrie, you've got one hell of a body girl, you should eat more, I don't want to see you get anorexia."
Torrie: "Stop being so kind matt, I'm fat. Look at Maria, she's soo skinny."
Matt: "Yeah, she is, and it's not exactly breathtaking to be able to see someone's ribcage when you're making love. She has no meat on her bones. You, you, you're just flat out breathtaking Torrie. I saw your playboy shoots, and just wow."
Torrie: "Matt, you're so nice, but let's face it, I'm fat. Look."
Torrie stands up and unzips her pants and shows Matt her thongclad ass. Matt's eyes light up.
Torrie: "See, look at all that cellulite, that's not a good thing"
Matt: "Girl, you don't..wow..you don't realize how nice this is. Can I?"
Torrie: "Go ahead"
Matt spanks torrie a couple times as she lets out little squeels. All of a sudden, Maria walks into the room, missing the spankings, but catching the two. She looks shocked.
Matt: "Yeah Torrie, you should definitely get this cut checked out, it looks really bad, worse then anything I've seen."
Torrie: "Uhh thanks Matt, well, uh, I think I should go uh, get this checked out."
Torrie pulls her pants back up and Maria walks up to Matt looking a little confused and angry."
Matt: "Torrie fell in her dressing room and landed on a piece of glass, she wanted me to have a look."
Maria: "Are you sure? That's not what it looked like from where I saw it Matt."
Matt: "Maria, I love you and I wouldn't do anything to jeopardize our relationship. Why would I be interested in Torrie when I have someone as hot as you?"
Maria: "I believe you Matt, you don't have to explain yourself to me."
Maria sits at the table and the two continue their converation

We come back from commercial break and Colt Cabana, looking cool as ever with sunglasses, bandana and no shirt, is standing in Eric Bischoff's office.
Cabana: "I don't get it Eric, explain this to me. I beat CM Punk in an Iron man match, a match that lasted longer then most guys in this arena could last with their ugly girlfriends, yet, yet, YET, CM Punk gets a US Title match against Booka T. To steal a line from someone, Watsupwitdatfoo?"
Bischoff: "You know what Cabana, you're absolutely right. You're constantly being overlooked in this company."
Booker T and CM Punk ironically walk in together at the same time and are both a little confused by what they see.
Cabana: "Well well well, the lovebirds arrive."
CM: "Shut your mouth cabana."
Booker: "You lookin for a fight suckaa?"
Bischoff: "Well actually, yes, he was looking for a fight, and I'm going to give it to him. You see, Cabana here brought up a logical point. Why should I agree to your singles match against one another at war games, when he beat CM Punk at Halloween Havoc?"
CM: "Oh you greedy little weasel Cabana."
Cabana: "I may be a weasel.. but your a.. a... a.. Squirrel."
Book, Bischoff and CM all look at one another, confused.
Bischoff: "But getting back to what I was saying, I've decided at war games, instead of a 1 on 1 for the US Title, it will be a triple threat match between Booker T, CM Punk, and Colt Cabana."
Booker: "That's coo, that's coo Eric, I can dig. But I don't know Eric, this guy, Colt Cabana, he aint dealin' with a full deck Eric. But yet again, he's kinda like you, isn't he?"
Booker leaves the office and CM and Cabana just stare at each other, looking as if they're about to go blow for blow.

We come back from break and Whiskey Marc's music hits and out comes the hardcore rebel wielding a chair wrapped in barbed wire. He gets in the ring and grabs a mic and holds the chair up in the air.
Whiskey: "I was told that the tv executives weren't too happy when I put that jobber Sabian through the glass last week. Well, I don't intend on pleasing them this week either, as I'm going to rip someone's flesh into hamburger meat this week with this steal chair. The pain tour continues tonight! Who's it gonna be, who has the b***s to face me?"
Whiskey waits in the ring for 10 seconds but grows irritated as no one is coming out. He is yelling in the middle of the ring, but all of a sudden, a familiar tune hits and the crowd goes wild as the hardcore legend himself comes out!"
Meltzer: "CACTUS JACK IS HERE, I DON'T BELIEVE IT!!"
Foley is God chants immediately break out and Foley acknowledges them by putting his hand in the air. Whiskey Marc is clutching the ropes in the ring staring a hole in Foley, you can tell he's surprised Foley is here and fears Foley's going to steal his thunder.
Cactus: "Damn it feels good to be back in wcw...Right here in Houston! Now, I've seen you on TV Whiskey Marc, you come out here and say you're a god of hardcore and deathmatches are your style and you're right, you are a fierce competitor. I've seen your dvds from japan, you take a beating, but you give them out twice as hard. But Marc, let me tell you something, my whole life has been about deathmatches, sick bumps and broken bones. Everyone's seen what I've done in my career, and it's not pretty. I've had part of my ear ripped off, I've been electricuted, wrapped in barbed wire, thrown on thumbtacks, thrown 30 feet off a steal cage, thrown through a steel cage, hell, I've even jumped off a few roofs in my time. But to see you come out here week in and out and call yourself hardcore because you can defeat a few competitors outside their element, that doesn't make you a hardcore legend. "
Whiskey: "Mick Foley, Cactus Jack, Mankind, Dude Love, you've done it all, and I'm impressed by you. But your old school friend, you're from the olden style of deathmatch. You can't compete in the new deathmatch scene. You've never been hit over the head by 200 light tubes, you've never taken a weed wacker to the back."
Cactus: "Don't you dare tell me what I haven't done you little bitch. I've been lit on fire, branded, hell, I've broken bones only to compete the next night. So Whiskey Marc, I'm only here for one reason, and one reason only, to end your reign of pain and make you show some respect for once in your life. You ended Ernest Miller's career and have hurt every superstar you've faced in the ring. Enough is enough, and I want you, one on one at War games, in an all out war. Bring any weapons you want Marc, because I've been hit with them all and pain doesn't phase me. "
Whiskey: "You would like that wouldn't you cactus, you would love a deathmatch with Whiskey Marc. Well too bad, I don't want to face you. You're oldschool, I'm new school, and that's just how it has to be. No deathmatch, challenge denied, get out of here you old man."
The fans boo as Cactus just simply turns away and leaves as Whiskey's music hits. The fans boo tremendously, especially at Whiskey Marc, who is apparently just scared to face Cactus Jack.

Jericho: "Ah yes, the redebut of the highlight reel.

You're stupid little haircut and you're even stupider little tribal tatoo on your neck. You really want to be like the Rock?'
Siaki: "Oh I don't want to be like him, I want to be better then him, and what better way to rise to greatness then copy the greatest of them all?"
Jericho: "Greatest of them all? Bitch, you're looking at the greatest of them all, the highlight of the night, The Ayatollah of Rock and Rollah. I sell out crowds in wrestling ring and rock venue stages all across the world. I make fans cheer Teriyaki boy, I have platinum albums and name to uphold. You, you're just some midcard jabroni rock wannabe."
Siaki: "Listen, Y2Jackass, My name's Sonny Siaki, not Teriyaki, but that's cool boy, that's cool. You can take your world title and prance around the ring, that's all fine and dandy. But one day Chris, one day I'll be standing aside the ring from you, and when I tell you to just bring it, it'll be over before you know it."
Siaki throws down the microphone and leaves the ring, leaving Jericho looking confused.
Jericho: "That sounded a lot like a challenge, you little assclown. Alright you little poser, next week, me and you, I'll beat your ass , just like I beat the Rock to become the first ever undisputed heavyweight champion. And that is something you can take to the bank. You better start buying while stock in Y2J goes flying. You don't have to be an educated buyer, to know that Y2J is on fire!"
Jericho's music hits as him and Sonny Siaki point to one another and exchange words before we go to commercial break.
