Brandon Flambeau vs Mikey Grizzwald:
Good match here between the Young Lion, Brandon Flambeau and the Stampede Main-stay Mikey Grizzwald. The match began with some really nice chain wrestling that actually saw Brandon take the advantage over Grizz. Catching Grizz with lots of nice arm holds and what not. Eventually Grizz had Brandon in a headlock and Brandon tossed Grizz off and Grizz began running the ropes. Brandon leap frogged Grizz. However Brandon then made the rookie mistake of going for a second leap frog and Grizz had it scouted. Brandon jumped and Grizz jumped and dropkicked Brandon in mid-air sending Brandon back down hard to his back. Grizz takes a little advantage over Brandon at this point working over Brandon's arm which should take away from Brandon being able catch Grizz with his finisher the Bridging Double Underhook Suplex. Grizz continues the work on Brandon's arm with a few arm holds, stomps on the arm and hand, a few legdrops and even elbow drops on Brandon's arm. Grizz even tosses in a double stomp on it. Grizz finally goes to irish whip Brandon and go for a backdrop but Brandon catches a sunset flip but only gets a one count. Grizz rolls through and dropkicks Brandon's shoulder. Brandon goes down screaming in pain and Grizz starts to work on Brandon's arm again. Grizz eventually goes for a suplex but Brandon blocks and suplexes Grizz. Brandon then hits a legdrop and makes the cover 1......2....kick out by Grizz! Brandon goes for his Double Underhook Suplex but he can't get Grizz up with his arm and Grizz reverses by spinning out and catching Brandon with the Schnozbuster 83'. Grizz makes the cover 1...2.......KICK OUT!!!!! Grizz gets frusturated and jumps to the second rope and goes for a big moonsault but Brandon moves. They get up at about an 8 count and Grizz runs at Brandon for a clothesline but Brandon ducks and ends up hitting Grizz with a clothesline, followed by a back elbow, followed by a leg lariat. Brandon then yells and goes up to the top rope and waits for Grizz to get up. Grizz gets up and Brandon hits the first half of the Ode to Johnny Smith(Flying Europian Dropkick followed by a nip up). Brandon then goes for the big clothesline finishing the Ode to Johnny Smith combo but when Brandon swings Grizz ducks and catches around Brandon's head.

The Stampede Bulldogs(TJ Wilson and Harry Smith) vs "Bollywood" Dusty Adonis and El Blanco Negro Dragon:
This was a good match which also saw ALOT of tension between TJ Wilson and Harry Smith as they wait for there rematch for the North American title. The match started with TJ and Dusty. TJ locked up with Dusty and pretty much smothered him in the chain wrestling aspect of the match .Once Dusty tagged out to Blanco, TJ tagged out to Harry. Harry quite literally smothered Blanco in Blanco's attempt of chain with Harry. Eventually Blanco rolls out of the way of a move from Harry. Harry runs at him and Blanco ducks and Dusty pulls on the top rope. Harry goes flying over the top and Blanco goes for a suicide dive over the top. Harry catches him on his shoulder and for some reason the ref is tied up with TJ. At this point Dusty clocks Harry with the Women's Title. Dusty and Blanco finally get an advantage as they keep Harry grounded for most of the match. They work mostly on Harry's leg trying to keep him down and eliminate his power. Eventually Dusty is in the ring working over Harry's leg and Dusty picks Harry up. Dusty makes the mistake of going for the Dusty-Cutter on Harry who is able to use his power to just hold Dusty up and kind of fall back with him sending Dusty to his back like a back suplex. At this point TJ Wilson tries to get into the ring and the ref gets tied up with him. This gives Blanco the chance to get in the ring and roll Dusty out of the ring. Blanco then starts to work on Harry's knee with lots of brutal looking stomps, elbow drops, leg drops, and the occasionaly knee drop tossed in to there on the knee of Harry. Blanco continues the work on the knee and finally has Harry down and in pain getting ready to scream his head off. Blanco runs and goes for the Dragon-Sault but Harry rolls out of the way and Blanco manages to land on his feet. Harry gets up to his feet and Blanco hits the ropes and runs at Harry for a clothesline but Harry catches Blanco with a crazy looking fast powerslam. Harry rolls away from Blanco and the crowd lets out a roar of cheers as Harry inches his way towards TJ. Harry finally makes the tag out to TJ and TJ jumps in the ring and runs at Blanco and catches Blanco with a crazy looking leg lariat. Dusty jumps in the ring quickly and runs at TJ but TJ gets ready to punch Dusty. Dusty simply drops to his ass and rolls out of the ring. Dusty grabs the Women's Title and walks to the back. Blanco is left in the ring and Harry gets in with TJ. TJ throws Blanco at Harry and Harry simply tosses Blanco up and lands him on Harry's own shoulders. TJ goes to the apron and Harry gets into position for the History in the Making(Powerbomb/Springboard Blockbuster combo)....and...THEY HIT IT!!!!! Harry stays in the powerbomb position for the pin...1...2....3! The Stampede Bulldogs win it!

The Stampede Bulldogs cut promos on each other:
TJ and Harry stay in the ring and TJ calls for the microphone which is brought to him. TJ looks at Harry and begins to speak.
TJ Wilson: Harry, man you put up an awesome fight against the Women's Champ when they were working over your leg. I just hope you bring that same fight for the North American champ next week!
TJ laughs after saying that jokingly and Harry grabs the mic from him.
Harry Smith: O don't worry TJ. I'll be bringing my A-game to Stampede next week against you for the North American title. So help me god man. I will walk out of the Ogden Legion of Doom holding that belt if it is the last thing I do!
TJ and Harry both laugh and shake hands but then pull each other close and trash talk alittle before heading to the speak.

Women's Title #1 Contendership Match: Nattie Neidhart vs Madison:
This match was really good. It showed exactly what Women's wrestling should be. It started with the two locking up and Madison trying to go toe to toe with Nattie in chain. But Nattie was able to easily get the upperhand on Madison and control Madison for pretty much the entire set of chain. Eventually Madison had Nattie in a headlock and Nattie tossed Madison off the ropes. Madison ran back at Nattie with a clothesline but Nattie ducked and hooked Madison's arm bringing her down into a sick looking fujiwara armbar. Madison fought it and managed not to tap and inched her way towards the ropes eventually getting a rope break. The match continued from this point with Nattie really working on Madison's arm. Nattie does lots of cool different moves like elbow drops, leg drops, and knee drops to the arm. Along with hooking in some pretty painful looking holds on Madison's arm. Nattie continues the arm work and at one point his Madison with the arm hook DDT. Madison rolls around the ring at that point screaming in pain holding her arm. Nattie grabs Madison and irish whips her and Nattie goes for a backdrop but Madison sunsets Nattie...1.... Madison pushes Nattie away and lays back holding her arm and screaming still in very noticeable pain. Nattie grabs Madison and drags her towards the turnbuckle. Nattie goes to the outside and pulls Madison so her shoulder is right up against the ring post. Nattie then grabs Madison's arm and begins to slam her arm into the ring post. Nattie eventually just leaves Madison's arm hanging over the apron up against the ring post and Nattie kicks the arm. Nattie gets back into the ring and continues what I can only really describe as an all out assault on Madison's arm. Nattie eventually slams Madison down and lays her arm out. Nattie climbs to the top and calls for a moonsault onto the arm. Nattie goes flying back and Madison pulls her arm out of the way and rolls. Nattie lands hard and begins rolling around the ring holding her stomach. Once both are back up on there feet Nattie runs at Madison but gets caught with a clothesline. Madison drops to one knee holding her arm in pain as Nattie gets up and runs at Madison again. Madison elbows Nattie in the stomach and Nattie bends over holding her stomach. Madison gets up and kicks Nattie hard in the face. Nattie goes back up and Madison jumps to Nattie's shoulders. Madison goes for a hurricanrana but Nattie pushes her off her shoulders and Madison manages to flip to her feet. Madison goes to kick Nattie but Nattie catches Madison's foot...seconds later Nattie is caught with a crazy Enziguri. Madison picks Nattie up and puts her on the top rope now with Nattie's back facing the ring. Madison goes up to the top aswell and goes for a Sunset Bomb but Nattie holds onto the top. Madison lands on her feet and Nattie maneauvers her legs so the arm Nattie has been working on all match is inbetween Nattie's legs and Nattie is holding it with her hands. Nattie flips backwards and Madison flips to her back like a hurricanrana but straight from there Nattie switches to an armbar. Suddenlly Dusty Adonis comes running down to the ring still in his gear from the last match. He jumps to the apron and distracts the ref as Madison starts screaming and tapping out. At this point Belle Lovitz runs down to the ring with literally pulls Dusty to the side and kicks him right in the...well...testicles. Belle then gets in the ring quick and stomps on Nattie's face. Belle then starts beating the hell out of Madison and Nattie. Belle...the smallest of the three is just going crazy beating on Madison and Nattie as the ref calls for the DQ. Belle goes to the outside and grabs a chair from ringside. She throws it in the ring and first DDT's Madison onto the chair and Madison goes rolling out of the ring holding her face. Now these arn't foldable chairs they're the stiff sturdy seating chairs. Which makes this even worse. Belle grabs Nattie and suplexes Nattie so Nattie's back lands on the top of the back support of the chair. Nattie bounces off the chair to her knees and goes rolling out of the ring screaming in pain.

Belle Lovitz cuts a promo about the Women's Title:
Belle looks at the carnage she has caused and calls for the microphone. She is given the microphone and she begins to speak.
Belle Lovitz: HA! LOOK AT THIS! Look at what little Belle Lovitz just did? I just killed Madison and Nattie Neidhart and even your champ out there is crawling to the back holding his nuts after a nice little kick. I'm sick of how this promotion looks past me! I've been here for three god damn long years! Who was here while Nattie was in Japan? ME! Who was here fighting Dusty for the legit women's wrestlers honor while Nattie was hurt? ME! This little bitch Madison didn't even show up in Stampede until two god damn months ago. You remember her debut? Who did she lose to? ME! I am the dominant female in Stampede and I am sick of being overlooked god damnit! Next show I want Belle Lovitz vs Dusty Adonis for the Women's Title! And if I don't get that...so help me god...little ol' Belle Lovitz will cause abit more carnage in the women's division!
Belle drops the microphone angry and heads to the back as security help Nattie and Madison to the back.

Rod Rage eliminates Matt Richards:
The match began with Apocalypse and Raj Singh in the ring going at it strong as was expected by the big men of the teams. Eventually both men were shook up by the fact they had gone so much and they tagged out to there partners. Apocalypse tagged out to Duke Durrango and Raj Singh tagged out to Matt Richards. The two got in the ring and locked up. Duke Durrango took a waist lock on Richards but Richards reversed quick. This lead to a quick chain of reversals before Richards tried to irish whip Duke. But Duke caught a reversal and irish whipped Richards right into a knee from Apocalypse from the apron through the ropes. Richards stumbles forward right into a Dirty-Driver from Duke...1....2....Gama Jr breaks up the pinfall. Duke gets angry and gets up quick. He starts to brawl with Gama Singh Jr. They end up on the outside of the ring and Rod Rage jumps in quick and makes the cover on Richards. But the ref says no cause Rage isn't the legal man. Rage grabs the tag rope and reaches out and tags Duke as he is brawling with Gama Jr on the outside. Rage turns around to see Richards up. Richards kicks Rage in the gut and goes for a brainbuster but Rage twists out holding Richards arm. Rage pulls Richards in to a quick Tiger Driver for the 1...2...3!

Raj drops to his knees and Apocalypse kicks Raj in the back just as hard! Raj is now on the ground in total pain as Apocalypse hits the ropes.

Raj starts rolling around coughing and spitting as Apocalypse makes the cover 1....2...Gama Jr makes the save. Apocalypse gets angry and runs after Gama Jr chasing him out of the ring. Apocalypse unlike Duke does not follow Gama Jr outside of the ring though. Apocalypse turns around and runs at Raj who is on one knee. But Raj gets up quick and catches Apocalypse with a SICK clothesline. Raj starts to work on Apocalypse for alittle bit about a minute or so. Raj eventually irish whips Apocalypse into the corner...but not very smart the corner Apocalypse hits is his own. Raj runs and clotheslines Apocalypse in the corner and as he does Rage makes a blind tag. Raj walks back towards his corner taunting with his back turned. As Raj turns around Rage runs at him and goes for a crossbody but Raj catches Rage. Raj hooks Rage over the head and does a weird but cool looking Fallaway slam/Brainbuster combo. Raj then tags out to Gama Jr. Raj runs and elbows Duke off the apron and starts to choke Apoc in the corner with his boot. Gama Jr slingshots over the top at this point hitting Rage with the slingshot elbow drop for the 1...2...3!

Duke continued the ruthless assault in anger and all of a sudden out of nowhere Gama Singh Jr comes from behind and catches Duke Durrango with a school boy roll up. Gama Jr puts his feet on the second rope as the ref counts 1....2....3!
Apocalypse eliminates Raj Singh:
After Duke was eliminated Raj went back to the corner and started stomping the hell out of Apocalypse. Raj and Gama Jr began to ignore the ref. They started to brutally double team Apocalypse at one point hitting there double basement dropkick combo except this time they actually hit Apocalypse in the face and back of the head instead of chest and back of the head when they did it. Apocalypse went down at that point holding his head and Duke Durrango is on the outside yelling and refusing to go to the back as the security try to make him. Gama Jr makes the cover on Apocalypse as Raj goes to the apron 1...2... KICK OUT! Gama Jr gets angry and tags out to Raj. Raj gets in the ring and tells Gama Jr to hold Apocalypse up. Gama Jr does so and Raj runs at them and lariats the high holy hell out of Apocalypse. Raj makes the cover 1...2... KICK OUT! Raj grabs Apocalypse and slams him down infront of the ropes hard.

At this point Duke Durrango pulls Gama Jr's leg and Gama Jr falls off the apron and smacks his face on the apron. Gama Jr goes to the floor and Duke jumps up onto the apron and forearms the hell out of Raj's back. Raj lets go of Apocalypse and drops to one knee. Apocalypse grabs Raj from there and rolls him up with a small package 1....2...3!!!!!
Gama Singh Jr wins the match for The New Karachi Vice...with some shocking help:
Gama Singh Jr stands up and looks in shock as Apocalypse is standing dominant in the ring and Duke and Raj head to the back split up by security. Gama Singh Jr stalls as much as he can but finally gets in the ring. The two go to lock up but Gama Jr drops down and rolls out of the ring again to buy some more time. Gama Jr gets back in the ring and they go to lock up again. This time they do and Apocalypse swipes the arm of Gama Jr away quick and blasts him with a crazy forearm. Gama Jr goes flying to his back and rolls out of the ring again. Gama Jr buys alittle more time and gets back into the ring. He locks up with Apocalypse again and this time Gama Jr swipes the arm of Apocalypse away and blasts Apocalypse with a forearm. But Apocalypse doest fall he just turns and gets an angry looking face on. Apocalypse turns back and forearms Gama Jr hard who goes stumbling into the ropes. Gama Jr comes back with a kick to the chest of Apocalypse. Apocalypse goes stumbling into the ropes and comes back with a sick kick to Gama Jr's face. Gama Jr goes flying back onto his shoulders and pops through to his knees. He gets up to his feet and yells and runs at Apocalypse. as soon as Apocalypse sees this he yells and runs at Gama Jr. They catch each other with a double clothesline and both go down and literally seconds after they go down both teams come running back out. Duke Durrango and Rod Rage on the Dark Army side and Matt Richards and Raj Singh on the New Vice side. They all end up catching each other and brawling at ringside. The referree gets distracted and jumps out of the ring to try and stop the brawl. At this point Apocalypse and Gama Jr are up. Gama Jr jumps at Apocalypse with a crossbody but Apocalypse catches Gama Jr and lifts him onto his shoulder. Gama Jr starts yelling and says "PHOENIX! HELP!!!!!!". Apocalypse slams Gama Jr down at that point with a Jesus Driver. Apocalypse stays for the cover but theres no ref. All of a sudden from the backdoor comes PHOENIX TAYLOR! Taylor hits the ring with a chair and cracks it over Apocalypse's head. The Dark Army stop brawling on the outside as they can't beleive Phoenix just hit the ring. Taylor rolls out of the ring quick as the ref gets back in and sees Gama Jr's hand over Apocalypse's chest. The ref makes the count 1....2....3!!!!!!! THE NEW VICE WIN!

However the Dark Army's theme music hits instead and Apocalypse and "Dirty" Duke Durrango bust through the entrance door. Apocalypse is under a cloak with the hood completely covering his face walking to the ring like a legitimate dark force. Duke Durrango walks beside Apocalypse and when they get in the ring Sly Stone looks at them and speaks.
Sly Stone: Well...uhhhhh....Apocalypse...why are you out he....
Duke Durrango grabs the microphone from Sly Stone and yells at him.
Duke Durrango: YOU DO NOT SPEAK TO APOCALYPSE! HE IS TOO GOOD FOR YOU! Now I assume you want to know why we're out here...correct? Well if thats so. The reason is simple. We're PISSED OFF! The New Karachi Vice are told they need to defend there titles now or they will be stripped of the belts for not defending them in the last 30 days? So who do they choose to face...DANDY MYERS AND MIKEY GRIZZWALD? What kind of team is that? I'll tell you what kind of team it is. It is a team of two guys that the Vice KNOW they will beat. They're too scared to put the titles against a real team like Me and Apocalypse...ain't that right big guy?
Apocalypse grabs the microphone from Duke Durrango and swings his head up send the hood off his head. Apocalypse looks at the crowd and speaks.
Apocalypse: I think you're right Duke. The Karachi Vice are a pile of cowards and are simply too afraid to take a journey into the dark woods. They're too afraid to step into the ring with me and you because they know it will be the equivalent of stepping into a black hole and wandering into the never ending torture of the dark abyss! But you know what? If those two cowards get an easy match tonight...I want one to. So you know what? Chucky Blaze...get out here right now and take a step into the dark abyss...take a step into the Dungeon of the DARK ARMY!
At that moment "I'm Not Okay" By My Chemical Romance hits and Chucky Blaze comes walking to the ring with Brandon Flambeau and Alex Plexis right behind him. The crowd cheers as Chucky gets into the ring and the match begins.

Apocalypse vs Chucky Blaze:
This can't be described as anything more but the slaughter of a Young Lion in the form of Chucky Blaze. The youngster went at Apocalypse with all he had in him but it was to no avail. The match even began with Apocalypse challenging Chucky to hit him. When Chucky went for it and hit Apocalypse with a forearm the big man simply turned his body then swung back quickly kicking Chucky in the face. The match went on with Apocalypse simply killing Chucky. Apocalypse had Chucky on the outside at one point and after slamming and back kicking the poor kid into near tears, Apocalypse would finally roll Chucky back into the ring...but on his stomach...with his head leaning over the apron. Apocalypse taunted and then ran and jumped in the air going for a 360 Legdrop/Kick type combo to Chucky who was over the apron. But Chucky slid himself out of the way and Apocalypse's leg hit the apron. Chucky got up and as Apocalypse turned holding his leg Chucky jumped and spun landing sitting on the top rope then moonsaulting onto Apocalypse. Eventualy Chucky got back in the ring and was soon followed by Apocalypse who charged at the Young Lion. Chucky leap frogged over Apocalypse and once Apocalypse turned Chucky quickly snapped off a superkick. It actualy sent Apocalypse falling onto the bottom turnbuckle and Chucky let out a scream before hitting the ropes and running back with a huge move that he calls The Seed of Chucky(Flipping Bootscrape/Kick to the head in the corner). Apocalypse rolled out holding his head and Chucky went to the top...it was all or nothing...and it ended up being nothing as Chucky missed a Childs Play II(Twisting Moonsault). Apocalypse stood up almost laughing at the poor kid. Apocalypse picked him up and finished the beating of the kid with a piledriver that crunched Chucky like no tommorow, a brainbuster that looked like it legitimately killed brain cells, and finally officialy ending it with a Jesus Driver for the 3-count. However what came was even worse...as Apocalypse and Duke Durrango were on there way to the back Chucky stood up to his feet wobbly but on his feet none the less. The crowd cheered and Apocalypse and Duke in a fit of anger ran back to the ring. Apocalypse went to the second rope as Duke clothesline Chucky turning him inside out onto his head. Duke then picked Chucky up in a vertical suplex only to set him on Apocalypse's shoulder...and at that moment a JESUS DRIVER OFF THE SECOND ROPE came...which may have been the end of Chucky Blaze. Finally Duke and Apocalypse left as Brandon, Alex, and the medics on hand helped a seemingly dead Chucky to the back.

Women'sIntergender Championship Match: "Bollywood" Dusty Adonis© vs Nattie Neidhart vs Belle Lovitz vs Madison:Before the match started Dusty Adonis was the final participant to enter walking to the ring to the tune of "We're the Champions" by Queen and being accompanied by the Tag Champs, Gama Singh Jr and Raj Singh, and Matt Richards. Dusty got into the ring as Gama Jr, Raj and Richards yelled at security to set up some tables and chairs at ringside. Dusty got a microphone and began to speak.
Dusty Adonis: Ya know...Personaly I don't think any of you three...females deserve a shot at this title. I'm Dusty Adonis! I'm a real wrestler! Do you know what you guys are? You guys are the maids to the real wrestlers! You should be in the kitchen over there cooking all of us real wrestlers dinner for after our matches. So you know what? I'm gonna take this title, i'm going to go sit down over there with the rest of the Vice, and I am going to watch you three and your little cat fight...Because I am..."BOLLYWOOD" DUSTY ADONIS BABAY!!!!!
Dusty leaves the ring and puts the microphone back at the music/announcers table then takes a seat with Gama Jr, Raj and Richards as the match begins.
This match was really good. The match began with all three of the women going into a triple lock up and all three ending up breaking it not being able to catch another in a hold. Finally Belle and Nattie decided to work together to take out Madison. They hit Madison with a double suplex which sent Madison rolling to the apron in pain. Belle didn't take much time going at Nattie and spending a good minute weakening Nattie Neidhart with some harsh looking forearms, stomps and even a back kick thrown in there. Belle eventualy hit Nattie with the Neck-Crank-Lovitz(Flipping Swinging Neckbreaker). Nattie held her neck in pain as Belle stood up and put only her foot on Nattie's stomach. The ref counted 1....and Dusty out of nowhere jumped up and pulled Belle from Nattie. Belle looked to the outside angry and Madison came from behind and rolled Belle up...1....2.... kick out by Belle. Belle charged at Madison who caught Belle with a dropkick. Madison began taking a slight advantage catching Belle with a nice headscissors and a sick looking DDT. At this point Nattie went for Madison and went for a German Suplex but Madison seemingly blocked and caught Nattie with a bulldog. Madison then went to the top rope and waited as Nattie slowly got up but behind Nattie, was Belle getting up aswell. Nattie got up and Madison jumped from the top. Nattie dropped down but Belle was standing there. Madison caught Belle with a crazy looked flying hurricanrana similar to Lita's Litacanrana. Madison got up and looked at Nattie. Madison and Nattie then went up to each other nose to nose and Madison hit Nattie with a brutal forearm. Nattie swung back with one of her own. The two went into a forearm war for a good 30 seconds till both of them looked like they were nearly out of it. Madison finally went for one big lariat like shot but Nattie ducked. As Nattie ducked Madison spun and Nattie caught her around the waist. Nattie quickly went back tossing Madison with a Release German Suplex. Madison landed hard crunched on her shoulders but then popped back out to laying on her back. Nattie rolled over holding her head from all the forearms. At this point Dusty quickly jumps up from the table, he takes his sun glasses off, his shiney silver shirt, and he hops into the ring and quickly pins Madison...1....2....3!!!!! DUSTY WINS!!!! WHAT THE HELL?! Dusty quickly rolls out of the ring and grabs his title as him and the new Vice run to the back laughing and smiling as Nattie and Belle are up staring in a way to say..."What the hell is going on?"

Duke Durrango vs Matt Richards:
I have no idea how to really describe this match. I guess the best way I could is as a brutal comeptitive...brawl. The match started with the two charging at each other and just starting to forearm, punch, and elbow each other as hard as they could. Finally both guys ended up falling and rolling out of the ring where at that point they ran around the ring towards each other meeting in the middle and just began to beat the high holy hell out of each other. Back and forth with all the force in the world. They eventualy ended up behind the crowd near concession where Duke Durrango tossed Richards into a closed concession stand area where there was the cheese grated like wall up. Duke rubbed Richards face in it and Richards went to the ground. When Richards got up he was bleeding and almost covered in his own blood. Duke grabbed one of the Matt Richards shirts from the t-shirt table of the concession and rubbed it all over Richards getting his blood on it then Duke tossed it into the crowd. Duke grabbed Richards and actualy took him out of the Legion part of the building and they began fighting into a doorway...then up the stairs...no one saw what happened from there we just know the stairs lead to a curling rink...so make your assumptions. However we do know that when they battled back into the Legion part of the building Duke Durrango was also covered in blood. The two began to battle even hard with strike after strike. Finally they got back to the ring and Richards hit Duke with a sick Brainbuster. Richards made the cover 1...2.......Duke kicks out! Richards yells at the ref "WHAT THE HELL?! NO ONE KICKS OUT OF THAT!" Richards gets angry and grabs a chair and sets it up in position for the Triple Jump Moonsault. Richards runs and goes for it but Duke rolls away. Richards lands on his feet as Duke stands up right behind him after rolling. Duke grabs Richards and tosses him back with a Dirty-Plex(Leg Hook Backdrop Driver). Duke goes for the pin...1...2...RICHARDS KICKS OUT! Duke looks around in disbelief. Duke picks Richards up and goes for the Dirty-Driver but Richards reverses and backdrops Duke. As soon as Duke hits the ground Richards hits the ropes...off the chair...onto the top...TRIPLE JUMP MOONSAULT AND HE HITS IT! Richards stays ontop of Duke for the pin 1...2... KICK OUT!!!! HOLY SHIT! The crowd is going crazy now...and this is only the third match on the card. This is really proving how much The Dark Army and New Vice hate each other! Richards picks Duke up and hooks him in a suplex then hooks Duke's leg for I assume a Fishermans Brainbuster. Duke however blocks and spins out and kicks Richards in the gut...DIRTY-DRIVER!!!!! Duke makes the cover 1....2... KICK OUT!!!!! O MY GOD! Duke grabs Richards and pulls him to the side of the ring where the table the Vice is sitting in is at. Duke goes to the apron and drags Richards onto the apron aswell. Duke grabs Richards and tries to lift him for a powerbomb but Richards blocks. Richards pulls away and they start forearming each other. Suddenly Gama Singh Jr, Raj Singh and Dusty Adonis run through the door towards the ring...but before they even get to the ring Apocalypse, Ravenous Randy and Rod Rage run out the entrance door. They all get into the ring at once and start to brawl as the ref calls for the no-contest. They're all brawling and end up brawling into Duke and Richards who both go flying off the apron through the table. The brawl finally stops as each group goes to check on there respective group member.

Stampede International Tag Team Championships Match: The New Karachi Vice(Gama Singh Jr and Raj Singh) vs "Superfly" Dandy Myers and Mikey Grizzwald:
This was a fairly good match which saw Grizz and Dan try there best against the more experienced team. Grizz caught Gama Jr with some extremely fast and explosive moves to start the match off which took Gama Jr by surprise. Eventually Gama Jr tagged out to Raj Singh who locked up with Grizz and simply broke the lock up and kicked Grizz in the face who went down and rolled away tagging into Dandy Myers. Dan got in the ring and charged at Raj but got caught with a huge hip toss. Raj tagged into Gama Jr who dropped some knees on Dan's back. This trend continued for the majority of the match with Gama Jr and Raj tagging in and out fairly quickly and working over Dan's back brutally. Gama Jr eventually irish whipped Dan and went for a backdrop but Dan jumped over catching Gama Jr with a nice sunset flip which got only a 1 count and saw Gama Jr end up rolling through and kicking Dan hard on the face. At this point Gama Jr slams Dan to the ground and turns him over onto his stomach. Gama Jr tags in Raj who does a flip over the top onto Dan's back which looked crazy for wrestler of Raj's size. Raj then tags out to Gama Jr who comes over the top with a slingshot elbow to Dan's back. Gama Jr makes the cover 1....2.... Grizz runs in to break up the fall. Gama Jr and Raj continue to work over Dan's back with lots of double teams and quick tags. Raj finally hits Dan with a really sick backbreaker and Dan rolls to his stomach. Raj tags in Gama Jr who climbs to the top rope for a flying knee drop. Gama Jr goes flying off the top but Dan rolls out of the way and Gama Jr lands hard on his knee rolling forward and screaming in pain. Dan slowly starts moving towards his corner to tag into Grizz but Raj runs in quick and grabs Dan sending him over in a snapmare. Raj then helps Gama Jr up and they go for there double team where Raj dropkicks Dan's back and Gama Jr dropkicks Dan's chest. However as they go for it Dan drops out onto his stomach and Gama Jr and Raj hit legs and Dan quickly crawls over to Grizz and tags out. Grizz gets in and hits Gama Jr with a clothesling, he then hits Raj with a clothesline but Raj doesn't go down so Grizz hits him with a SCHNOZBUSTER '83(Superkick) and Raj goes down and rolls out of the ring. Grizz then turns around and throws Gama Jr off the ropes and catches Gama Jr with a HUGE backdrop. Gama Jr lands hard and Grizz waits for him to get up. Grizz grabs him and swings back with the Grizzwald Family Vacation(Downward Spiral). Grizz goes for the pin 1...2... Raj pulls Grizz's leg from the outside and as soon as Grizz gets to the floor on his feet from the pull he kicks Raj in the gut and Raj bends down holding his stomach. Grizz gets back in the ring and Raj looks up only to see Dandy Myers coming down onto him with a crossbody plancha. Grizz then looks down at Gama Jr and jumps to the second rope. Gama Jr rolls out of the way before Grizz even goes back and Grizz must have noticed. Grizz moonsaults and lands on his feet, HOWEVER Gama Jr kicks up into the air and ends up low blowing Grizz as he comes down onto his feet. Grizz drops to his knees and Gama Jr quickly locks in a Cobra Clutch. It doesn't take long for Grizz to pass out...but Grizz does NOT tap! The match is awarded to Gama Jr and Raj Singh by knock out!

But the odd thing is as they look out the door a fan runs and pulls himself onto the top of the pop machine right by the door. Ravenous Randy and Rod Rage turn around and yell to Pete that there is no one there. Pete looks around and speaks again.
Pete Wilson: O really? I thought there was...well if you'd please look above you...i'm sure you'll see my surprise.

Once the match got back into the ring it began with Rage and Evans. Rage tried to use his power against Evans early on but Evans was too fast for the monster Rod Rage. Evans kept getting out of the way of every single move Rag went for. Rage got angry and tagged in Randy and they both started going after Evans. Evans eventually runs at them and they go for a double clothesline but...I kid you not Evans pushes off there arms and flips over them onto his feet. Evans then jumps to the second rope and goes flying back with a Moonsault 450...BACK ELBOW to both Rage and Randy. Rage rolls to the apron and Randy soon follows tagging out to Rage as it happens. Rage gets in the ring and Evans laughs at him. Evans and Rage start going at it with Evans trying to stand tall to Rage but Rage over powers Evans. Finally Rage irish whips Evans and Evans starts totally out smarting Rage with crazy flips, leap frogs, and other weird little dodges of Rage's moves.

Randy tags out to Rage. Rage grabs Evans and picks him up in a vertical suplex. Randy goes to the second and jumps off dropkicking Evans in the face. Now I kid you not Rage falls back and Evans begins to go back towards his stomach from the dropkick...Rage lands and Evans lands in a COMPLETE STRAIGHT spiked DDT like landing! Evans looks like he is dead at this point as Rage picks him up and puts Evans up against the ropes. Rage runs and hits the other ropes getting ready to clothesline Evans but Evans moves and tosses Rage over the top. Randy gets in the ring quick as Pete jumps into the ring. Pete runs and dropkicks Randy who goes flying over the top from the dropkick. Jack looks around and holds onto the top rope but first Pete runs and as he comes back flips over Evans to the outside onto Randy and Rage. Once Randy, Rage and Pete get up Jack gets a grin on his face. Jack jumps and does a 180 landing on the top. Jack goes flying back after that with a crazy Phoenix Splash to the OUTSIDE! Jack lands in the pack of Randy, Rage and his own partner Pete. All four are now on the floor out of it. They all get up and Jack and Rage get into the ring. Rage tags out to Randy quick and Randy gets in the ring and grabs Jack. Randy irish whips Jack and goes for a backdrop but Jack flips to his feet. Randy turns around and is met with a dropkick from Evans. Evans then slowly crawls and tags in Pete as Randy tags in Rage. Rage gets in and Pete runs at him. Rage goes for a clothesline but Pete ducks and catches Rage with a dropkick. Randy gets up and goes for a big boot but Pete catches his foot and throws it down followed up by a nice hurricanrana. Pete then waits for both Randy and Rage to get up. Pete runs at Randy and goes up for a headscissors and when he goes up he hooks his legs around both Randy and Rage. Pete then flips in between them and they both go flipping onto there backs. Pete runs around screaming and he climbs up to the top as Rage is infront of the corner. Pete goes for his 450 but Rage moves and Pete lands on his feet but ends up stumbling right into a crazy Tiger Driver from Rage. Rages stays for the pin 1....2....Jack comes off the top with a basement dropkick to Rage and somehow manages to not land on Pete. Evans looks down at Rage and climbs to the top.

He uses the Dusty Cutter(Diamond Cutter out of the corner) and the Dusty-Plex(Perfect Plex) as finishes.

Mikey Grizzwald:

"Pistol" Pete Wilson:
Pete Wilson made his Stampede return in early 2004 and has since become one of the most liked wrestlers in the promotion. Taking high risks and putting his body on the line to win any match. He has since become the Stampede British Commenwealth Midheavyweight champio and in October 2005 him and Ravenous Randy won the Stampede International Tag Championships. However lost them back to the Karachi Vice when Randy turned on Pete. Pete uses the 450 Splash and Moonsault 450 as finishes.
Phoenix Taylor:
Like Phoenix's former partner Marky Mark, Phoenix isn't really a main-stay in Stampede, but does come around from time to time. However since Phoenix has turned on Marky Mark and has become hated by most in the Prairie Wrestling Alliance we could be seeing more of Phoenix. He uses the Taylor Made(Twisting Diamond Cutter/Slow Roll of the Dice) as a finish.
"Tiger" Raj Singh:
Raj Singh is the bigger more powerful cousin of Gama Singh Jr. Raj has a good amount of speed and technique to go with his strength. Raj can easily go toe to toe with some of the best in the promotion and even catch a few huge slams on them while he's at it. Raj is one half of the Stampede International Tag Team Champions with Gama Singh Jr! He uses the Karachi Valley Driver(DVD) and The Emerald Frosion as finishes.
Ravenous Randy:
Randy was one of the most liked wrestlers in Stampede Wrestling. With his un-matchable Charisma and jokingly funny and weird nature the crowd came to love this star. However in December of 2005 Randy turned on Pete Wilson by Backchopping Pete until Pete's back BLED! Randy has since been on a streak of killing anyone in his way on his quest to take the British Commenwealth Midheavyweight Title from Pete Wilson. He uses the Spin Cylce(Twisting Downward Spiral) and the Chili Cheese Driver(Body slam into a Rude Awakening neck breaker) as finishes.
Rod Rage:
Rod Rage hadn't been seen in Stampede Wrestling for quite sometime. But he made his return September 30th 2005 when he went up against the one night only...returning Johnny Devine. The match ended in a non contest and since then Rod Rage again was not seen! However making his return again in mid-January and joining the Dark Army he looks to be a new found force to be reckoned with. He uses the Tiger Driver and Tiger Driver Backbreaker as finishes.
"Stampede Kid" TJ Wilson:
Many consider TJ Wilson to be the best wrestler in the WORLD today. With a technical ability that is un-matchable except by maybe Harry Smith and an ability to bust out crazy high flying moves when needed. Plus a wide range of strikes making him a great brawler. TJ Wilson is an all rounder the greatness of Chris Benoit. TJ is the current North American Heavyweight Champion. He uses the Code Blue(Firemans Carry flip off the second) and The Swandive Elbow Drop(Springboard Elbow Drop) as finishes.

Backstory:
Stampede Wrestling has been on the rise since September of 2005. It returned from its brief hiatus with a vengance. With a packed roster filled with not only Alberta Pro-Wrestling main stays and local celebrities, but also some that can be considered international superstars.
Stampede Wrestling has been around for over 50 years and is finaly heading back up to what it once was. With TJ Wilson leader the promotion as their North American Heavyweight champion, Stampede Wrestling looks to be heading into an astounding future future.
The younger yet well established and well deserved wrestlers haven't been forgotten either. Pete Wilson is leading the pack of these as Stampede Wrestling's British Commenwealth Mid-Heavyweight champion. With Ravenous Randy, Gama Singh Jr, and others gunning for that title Pete has quite the task ahead of him leading the young superstars into the future.
Lets not forget those in the Tag Team divison either. With the New Karachi Vice of Gama Singh Jr and Raj Singh holding the titles it is sure to be heading into a lovely future which will see epic battles between The Vice, The Dark Army, The Stampede Bulldogs and many other teams.
And what about The Dark Army? The leaders of the group "The Shadow" Apocalypse and "Dirty" Duke Durrango plan to lead Rod Rage and Ravenous Randy to a future of stardom and domination in Stampede Wrestling!
Stampede doesn't forget that one day there will need to be a new generation ready to take the stand. Already Stampede has established wrestlers Dandy Myers and Mikey Grizzwald leading the next generation of Stampede Wrestling on its way to a great future. But to go along with them some Stampede wrestlers run a training camp out of BJ's Gym in Calgary. Already being given a chance as The Young Lions of Stampede from this camp are Alex Plexis, Brandon Flambeau, and Chucky Blaze.
With the way things are looking at this point...Stampede is heading in the right direction and is on its way up the mountain to greatness...but will it continue?
This is the story of Stampede Wrestling from Now...to whenever!

WWE RAW this week one night after the Smackdown Brand's Great American Bash Pay Per View! The big news is Paul London's jump to RAW and with him bringing the Cruiserweight title. Which has been disbanded for the return of the European Title! Paul London will be here tonight and will be defending that European Title against a debuting worker brought into the WWE by Mr. William Regal. Regal says this worker will bring the belt back home to where it belongs... ENGLAND!
Then along with this we have the last 5 matches in the Round Robin Tourney for #1 Contendership to the WWE Championship! The final 5 matches for this week are:
Shawn Michaels vs Shelton Benjamin
Chris Jericho vs Triple H
Jeff Jarrett vs Shelton Benjamin
Jeff Jarrett vs Shawn Michaels
Shelton Benjamin vs Triple H
The main question of this is who will walk away with #1 Contendership? BUT along with that is how will Jarrett vs Michaels turn out? Maybe Shawn won't have to wait till SummerSlam to take out Double J!
Plus the Dudley Boys will be back this week after missing last weeks RAW. There is no telling what the Dudleys will do but I am sure they're not happy about the loss to to Sabu and RVD 2 weeks ago.
Also the ongoing saga between The tag champs, Hurricane and Rosey and The New Blood Extreme will continue this week on RAW!
Be sure to tune in live 9est/8ct to WWE RAW only on SpikeTV for all this AND MORE!
(NOTE: I realize its the same graphic as the last RAW. Reason being that the Round Robin is the main focus of this RAW aswell.)

Well... I guess for predictions if anyone actually cares. Phatman wins by default so i'll be asking him privately(on AIM or in PM) what stipulation he'd like for the next US Title match.

Pre-Show HeAt Match: Billy Kidman vs Shannon Moore:
Smackdown gets to put there guys on HeAt this week as the pre-showing before The Great American Bash. Decent match with Shannon Moore picking up the win. Billy Kidman missed the SSP and Shannon Moore then waiting for Kidman to get his feet. Moore then ran and pulled out the Moore-Gasm for the 3-count.
Overall Rating: 77%

Tazz: But right now we have the United States Title 3-way match up with our US Champion Orlando Jordan defending against "The Crippler" Chris Benoit and Doug "The Machine" Basham! Lets get to it!
United States Title Match: Orlando Jordan© vs Chris Benoit vs Doug Basham:
The show started on a high note with this match. The three superstars circled the ring for a short time before busting out a TRIPLE lock up. We then saw Chris Benoit lock Doug Basham in a headlock. Basham took that oppurtunity to lock Orlando in a headlock of his own. This left Benoit on the top, Basham in the middle, and Orlando on the bottom. Orlando slowly began to use his strength to pull Basham to the ropes which pretty much forced Basham to do the same to Benoit. Basham ended up pushing Benoit off first and Benoit began running. Orlando soon did the same to Basham. Basham however stopped half way. This left Benoit running with Basham infront and Orlando behind. Basham swung at Benoits head for a clothesline but Benoit ducked. Orlando then swung with a clothesline at Benoit but Benoit ducked again. Benoit kept running and this time Orlando swung with a back elbow first but Benoit ducked that aswell. So Basham swung with a back elbow but Benoit ALSO ducked that. Benoit kept running and Basham went to kick Benoit as Benoit ran. But Benoit caught Basham's foot. Benoit spins Basham so now Benoit and Basham are both looking at Orlando. Orlando runs and goes to clothesline both men but Benoit and Basham both duck. Orlando keeps running and Basham and Benoit go for a double back elbow. However Orlando ducks. Orlando keeps running again and this time gets caught with a double backdrop from Benoit and Basham. Orlando lands hard on his back and holds it as he slowly gets up. Basham is now standing behind Benoit and Orlando points at Benoit in anger. Orlando runs towards Benoit but Basham leapfrogs over Benoit. This sends Basham flying towards Orlando with a LEG LINE! Orlando goes down hard with Basham's leg crushing Orlando's windpipe. Basham instead of going for the cover lets Orlando stand. Orlando stands up and slowly stumbles back into Benoit.... GERMAN SUPLEX FROM BENOIT! But Benoit rolls up..... ANOTHER GERMAN!!!!! Benoit rolls up again for the third but this time takes Orlando down by the arm and Benoit locks in the crossface. Orlando starts to scream but isn't tapping just yet. Basham goes over to Orlando's legs. Basham locks in a boston crab. Orlando's screaming and after about 10 seconds in the double hold Orlando taps and the champ is already eliminated from the match! Orlando has a temper tantrum and has to be carried to the back by security as Benoit and Basham shake hands and begin to circle the ring. The two each go for some things but the other dodges. Finally Benoit and Basham lock up and begin some world class chain wrestling. Its obvious now to the fans that Basham can wrestle and the crowd starts clapping for the chain wrestling. After about 3 minutes of pure and AMAZING chain Basham runs at Benoit. Benoit goes for an armdrag but for the first time in recent memory Benoit is outsmarted as Basham quickly pulls away and Benoit goes to his stomach. Benoit gets up and runs at Basham and Basham catches Benoit with a quick armdrag. Benoit gets up angry and runs at Basham again. Basham catches Benoit with another quick armdrag. Benoit gets up again with an even angrier look on his face. Benoit runs at full velocity and gets tossed with another extremely quick armdrag from Basham. This time it sends Benoit rolling out of the ring. Benoit walks around the outside of the ring to about the count of 5 trying to regain his composure. Finally Benoit gets into the ring and gives Basham a little applause. Benoit then shakes Basham's hand and the two lock up again. Benoit quickly goes behind and pulls out a fast release german suplex on Basham. Basham lands hard on his shoulder/neck area. Basham rolls out of the ring quick and stays on the ground holding his neck for a second or two before standing up. Basham got back in the ring after regaining his composure. Basham and Benoit locked up again and Benoit went behind a second time. Benoit attempted another german but Basham did a roll type thing over Benoit's shoulder. It wasn't exactly a backflip more as a twist into a literal roll over Benoit that ended up with Basham behind Benoit rolling Benoit up into a school boy. The ref counted and Basham got a 2-count off the school boy before Benoit kicked out. Benoit got up with visible shock in his eyes. Benoit and Basham lock up yet again and go into abit more chain wrestling. Benoit begins to seriouslly work over the arm of Basham obviouslly setting up for the Crossface. However Basham does a good job of quickly reversing or blocking alot of Benoit's more devastating arm holds. Eventually they get up with Benoit holding a type of arm bar on Basham and Basham attempting to break it. Basham slowly pushes Benoit into the ropes then manages to whip Benoit off with an irish whip. Benoit runs back to Basham and Basham hits Benoit with a forearm as Benoit runs. This sends Benoit stumbling back and Basham dropkicks Benoit's right shoulder. Benoit goes flying over the top rope and lands hard on that shoulder aswell. Remember Benoit had a serious shoulder injury on RAW after WrestleMania. Basham goes to the outside and begins to stomp on Benoit's shoulder extremely hard. Eventually Basham picks Benoit up and rolls him into the ring. Basham begins to work over Benoit's shoulder for a good period of time. Lots of knee drops, elbow drops, stomps, even a slam or two all targeting and landing on Benoit's right shoulder. Basham continues the work on Benoit's shoulder but eventually goes to lock in a Fujiwara Armbar which seems to be Basham's poison of choice to make Benoit tap. But Basham forgets Benoit's technical knowledge. Benoit as soon as they drop to the ground rolls right through and wraps his feet around the bottom rope the referee calls for the break and Benoit takes the time to roll out of the ring and tend to his shoulder that has just been worked on for a good few minutes. Benoit gets into the ring and Basham goes for the Leg Line on Benoit extremely quick but Benoit catches Basham and holds him tight. This forces Basham to twist himself and attempt a sunset flip from the position. But Benoit holds. Benoit uses all his strength to turn Basham from an Alabama Slam position to a tombstone position. Benoit then drops to one knee hitting Basham with a nice shoulder breaker. Basham holds his shoulder in pain however Benoit is doing the same from having to use his shoulder to manuever Basham into the move. Benoit holds his shoulder in pain and picks Basham up.... German Suplex #1......German Suplex #2...... AND GERMAN SUPLEX #3! Benoit hits Basham with all 3 rolling German suplexes. Benoit holds his shoulder but takes no time to do the cutthroat taunt and scale to the top rope. Benoit gets ready for a flying headbutt but has to tend to his shoulder. Basham stands up after all this and crotches Benoit on the top. Basham goes up for a Super-Plex but Benoit starts to punch at Basham. Benoit uses his strength to turn Basham so they're now back to stomach with Benoit behind Basham. Benoit locks Basham in an almost Tazmission like hold. Benoit then jumps off the top with Basham hooked. Benoit lands sitting out still holding Basham. With Basham taking a high impact and down right sickening face bump. Benoit keeps hold of Basham's head but switches the arm to between Benoit's legs. Benoit then pulls back with a CRIPPLER CROSSFACE! Basham screams in pain as he inches towards the ropes. Benoit however rolls backwards bringing Basham with him so they're back in the middle of the ring. Benoit pulls back and lets out a scream of intensity as Basham lets out his loudest scream of pain yet. Basham lifts his hand and the crowd is on there feet.... Basham slams his hand to the mat quickly three times and screams that he quits. The crowd goes crazy in cheers as Benoit gets up to his knees and is awarded the US Championship. Basham stays on the ground holding his shoulder and neck in pain. Benoit hleps Basham up and the two shake hands as we cut backstage where Eric Bischoff is with Rey Mysterio in his office.
Winner and NEW US Champion: Chris Benoit
Overall Rating: 71%
Eric Bischoff, Rey Mysterio and all of Smackdown gets screwed:
Eric Bischoff is backstage in his office with Rey Mysterio. Rey looks at Bischoff and speaks.
Rey Mysterio: What the hell do you want me here for?
Eric Bischoff: To be honest Rey I don't know. I got a call from someone who would tell me who they were. They told me to have you in my office after the US Title match and they would be calling again.....
Bischoff's phone rings right on cue and Bischoff answers.
Eric Bischoff: Hello, who is this?
Mystery Person: The names Chris.
Eric Bischoff: Chris? Chris who?
Mystery Person: The guy that took your job.
Eric Bischoff: NOWINSKI! What the hell i'm not talking to you!
Christopher Nowinski: Hey, hey now. I don't think you're going to want to hang up on me. I have some news that may interest you.
Eric Bischoff: And what may that be?
Christopher Nowinski: It kind of partains to your main event.
Eric Bischoff: WHAT IS IT!
Christopher Nowinski: I'm sure you noticed that Paul London has yet to arrive at your building.
Eric Bischoff: Actually I have noticed that.
Christopher Nowinski: Well thats because he's sitting here right beside me and he just signed a contract to join the RAW roster!
Eric Bischoff: WHAT!? NO! YOU'RE LIEING!
Christopher Nowinski: Nope wanna talk to him?
Eric Bishcoff: He's probablly not even there so i'm just going to hang up now.....
Paul London: Hey Eric.
Eric Bischoff: WHAT!!!!!!!?!?!?!?!!?! NO!!!!!! YOU'RE THERE?! Is what i'm being told true!?
Paul London: Yep. Your Cruiserweight champion is now apart of the RAW roster and won't be defending that title or wrestling at all tonight! See ya.
The phone hangs up and Bischoff has a stunned and worried look on his face. Rey Mysterio speaks.
Rey Mysterio: Whats wrong?
Eric Bischoff: Paul London just signed a contract to be on RAW and won't be here tonight.
Rey Mysterio: O.... wait.... WHAT?!
Eric Bischoff: Don't worry Rey don't worry. I'll find someone to face you in the Main Event but god just agh cut to the show hurry up get back to the ring!
We cut back to ringside where Michael Cole and Tazz are shocked themselves.
Overall Rating: 82%
Michael Cole: I... I can't beleive this!
Tazz: Neither can I Cole. I've heard of guys going to other brands even I did it. But to pull a Mike Awesome and do it when you're supposed to be in the main event defending a title is just wrong!
Michael Cole: What does this mean for tonight?
Tazz: I don't know but Bischoff said he's find a replacement for London. But I guess its not a Cruiserweight Title match any longer.
Michael Cole: Well just lets get to the 6-Man Tag Warfare between the Jung Dragons and The Mexicools.
6-Man Tag Warfare: The Jung Dragons(Jamie Noble, Jimmy Yang and Kaz Hayashi) vs The Mexicools(Super Crazy, Juventud Guerrera and Psychosis):
Fairly good match to follow up our amazing opening contest. The match started up with all 6-man in the ring. The Mexicools went right after the Jung Dragons and began to beat on them and try some rather cheap tactics like eyepokes, eyerakes, lowblows, etc. However Noble, Yang, and Hayashi managed to turn the tables about a 30 seconds into it. Jimmy Yang crossbodied Psychosis and the two both went falling over the top out of the ring onto the ground below. Hayashi and Juvi ended up standing on the apron together and Hayashi to the shock of the corwd picked Juvi up and fell back off the apron to the floor with a sick suplex. This left Noble and Crazy in the ring together ready to go at it. Noble and Crazy locked up and Noble quickly took Crazy over in an arm drag. Super Crazy took a roll type bump and got up to his knees. Super Crazy looked at Noble and yelled "WHAT THE HELL I'M THE LUCHA GUY HERE I DO THE ARMDRAGS!" which got a huge pop from some of the smart mark fans in attendance. Noble told Crazy to do what he wanted then and Noble ran at Crazy. Crazy hiptossed Noble instead of armdragging him however Noble claps and salutes Crazy on doing something other than an arm drag. This makes Crazy mad and Crazy rushes at Noble for some sort of strike but Noble dodges Crazy and makes a tag out to Jimmy Yang. Psychosis starts yelling that he wants in so Crazy tags out to Psychosis. Psychosis gets in the ring. Psychosis and Yang lock up pretty quick and go into a weird chain wrestling sequance. They do arm drags, monkey flips, and even the weirdest looking suplex moves i've ever seen all with them ending up staying in a lock up. Finally however Psychosis locks in a headlock on Yang. Yang attempts to push Psychosis off the ropes. Psychosis however grabs Yang's left arm and twists through with an arm wringer. Psychosis then irish whips Yang and Juvi throws up his knee. Yang hits Juvi's knee hard with Yang's back. Yang stumbles out holding his spine area as Psychosis quickly lifts Yang and slams him. Psychosis then picks Yang up to a sitting position and blasts Yang with a totally just evil kick to the spine. Psychosis then tags out to Juvi who gets into the ring and drops a quick elbow drop on Yang. Juvi laughs as Yang holds his chest in pain. Juvi then picks Yang up and irish whips him. As Yang runs back Juvi positions himself. Juvi manages to hit a Spinbuster almost replicant of the Rock's spinebuster set up to the People's Elbow. Juvi then jumps up to the position for a People's Elbow which Juvi has no problem yelling before hand calling it a "JUICE'S ELBOW"! Juvi runs and hits the one sides ropes. Juvi hops over Yang and runs to the other side. Suddenlly however Jamie Noble pulls out some oldschool heel tactics and pulls the rope down. Juvi backflips over and Noble and Juvi start to brawl. Super Crazy and Psychosis are quick to run over and help Juvi beat down Noble. But Hayashi is quick to jump off the apron and help Noble fight back. The huge back just stay on the outside brawling as Jimmy Yang slowly gets up to his feet. Yang climbs to the top rope and goes flying off with a Swanton into the pack. However as Yang lands in them you clearly see Psychosis get out of the way. Psychosis climbs to the top as the pack slowly get up again. Psychosis then flies off just going to his back pretty much with a back senton right onto the top of the pack. At that moment Jamie Noble gets out of the pack. Noble gets into the ring and awaits the pack to get up. The pack get up and Jamie Noble springboards to the top.... Noble them flies off with a big crossbody right into the pack....and this time Super Crazy escapes the line of fire. Crazy gets into the ring and waits for the pack to get to there feet again. Crazy was the coolest as he walked around making fun of Noble saying Noble's dive was just a basic springboard crossbody that the scared Lucha guys do. Once the pack gets up Crazy pulls out the 180 spin springboard into a HUGE moonsault to the outside into the pack and YET AGAIN someone escapes the line of fire this time Kaz Hayashi. Kaz stands on the apron and waits for the pack to stand again. They do and Kaz pulls out an extremely nice Asai Moonsault. This time Juvi escapes the line of fire. Juvi climbs to the top and waits for the pack to stand. They slowly do and Juvi goes flying off with a 450 to the outside... and this is no joke folks. The ENTIRE pack moved out of the way even Crazy and Psychosis and Juvi just went splat on the floor. Noble and Kaz went running at Psychosis and Crazy quick and began to brawl on the outside as Yang rolled Juvi into the ring. Yang made the cover 1.....2..... kick out somehow by Juvi. Yang got alittle angry and picked Juvi up. Yang screamed and picked Juvi up in an Alabama Slam type position. It was obvious Yang was going to go for a behind the back tombstone of sorts. But Juvi kicked down and got to the ground. As the ref was breaking the brawl on the outside apart Juvi took the time to low blow Yang. Yang dropped to his knees in pain and Juvi dropkicked him in the back of the head. Juvi continued working Yang over just with some suplexes, slams, some strikes, and a few elbow and leg drops. Juvi then made the tag into Super Crazy who worked over Yang with the same types of moves as Juvi just a few diffrent variations. Super Crazy even managed to hit a cool ground combo of a standing swanton which Crazy followed through rolling to his feet. Crazy then did a standing moonsault landing hard on Yang. Crazy then made the tag to Psychosis who continued the formula of basic moves onto Yang but slightly diffrent variations than the other Mexicool members were using. Psychosis made the tag to Juvi, and Juvi to Crazy and this continued for a good little bit. Until finally Crazy was in the ring and went for the big top rope moonsault. But Yang got his knees up and Crazy landed hard. Yang did all he could and slowly crawled to his corner. Crazy made the tag out to Juvi first but not far behind was Yang tagging Kaz. Kaz got in the ring and went nuts kicking Juvi extremely hard in the side and head. Psychosis then got in the ring but no luck as Hayashi went right at Psychosis with evil kicks aswell. Crazy got in the ring but was quickly knocked down from a kick to the face. Crazy and Psychosis ended up out of the ring and Hayashi spent a good time with an advantage on Juvi. Hayashi pulled out some basic strikes moves and some nice slams. Hayashi then finally set up and went for the big Brainbuster but Juvi got over and locked Hayashi in a sleeper Juvi then took little time with raking Hayashi's eyes from the sleeper hold. Hayashi stumbled and The Mexicools began the same advantage over Hayashi they had just had on Yang. The quick tags and beating down of Hayashi lasted awhile until Psychosis went for his big Atomic Flying Legdrop. But Hayashi got up as quick as he could. Hayashi ran up to the top and tried throwing Psychosis but to no avail as Psychosis blocked. Hayashi punches and punches at Psychosis. Finally Hayashi hooks Psychosis like a Superplex.... but O MY GOD!!!! HAYASHI DOES IT BUT ITS A SUPER BRAINBUSTER JESUS CHRIST! Psychosis and Hayashi both slowly crawl to there corners Psychosis tags out to Super Crazy as Hayashi tags out to Noble. Crazy and Noble get in the ring and start to brawl as Hayashi and Psychosis roll out. Juvi then gets in the ring and goes for Noble but Yang springboards and flies overtop of Noble and Crazy who are brawling. Yang does this in a crossbody position and ends up hitting Juvi. Yang and Juvi then begin to brawl. Psychosis and Hayashi are the only ones not in for this which is very understandable as they're selling. Plus i'm not sure if its all selling looked painful. Anyways. Yang and Juvi brawl until Juvi pokes Yang in the eye then quickly drops Yang with a Juvi-Driver. But Juvi isn't the legal man the legal men are Noble and Super Crazy who are still brawling. Juvi stands but Hayashi is now up. Hayashi runs and clotheslines Juvi over the top.

Decent match here. Hassan was accompanied to the ring by Daivari but the other man was no where in sight. Hassan started by charging Taker but Taker caught Hassan and used all his strength to throw Hassan into the turnbuckle hard. Taker then following Hassan into the turnbuckle and started to blast Hassan with lots of harsh punches. Taker continued a short advantage over Hassan just beating into him with the stiffest strikes i've ever seen performed by Taker. Taker finally goes for the big Chokeslam but Daivari begins to distract the ref. Hassan uses this opportunity to kick Taker right between the legs. Hassan then takes an advantage which is mostly Hassan striking Taker enough to keep Taker down on his knees. Taker ends up on both knees eventually and Hassan runs and hits the ropes. Hassan comes back with a SICK Yakuza style kick right to Taker's head. Taker goes down hard holding his head and its one of the first times i've ever seen Taker in such pain. Hassan continues work on Takers head mostly with lots of hard strikes. Taker is really out of it by this time and Hassan hooks Taker. Hassan falls and DDT's Taker. Hassan makes the cover 1.....2....

Seriouslly Hassan just takes a straight bump to the floor on that one. Taker goes to the outside and picks Hassan up. Taker starts beating on Hassan but Hassan blocks a punch and rakes Taker's eyes. Hassan goes to irish whip Taker into the steps but Taker reverses.... but Hassan reverses and pulls Taker into a drop toe hold! And Takers head literally smacks and bounces off the steel steps. Taker lies flat on the ground for abit and once Taker gets up he's busted open. Hassan begins a total beat down of Taker. Hassan rolls Taker into the ring and just beats on him for a good 3 minutes. Hassan then takes the blood thats now on his hand from Taker and writes "RIP Deadman" on his chest/stomach similar to when Jerry Lynn wrote "DIE" on his chest in Steve Corino's blood. Anyways Hassan continues beating on Taker. Hassan finally picks Taker up and hooks him....... WEAPON OF MASS DESTRUCTION(Downward Spiral) to Taker! Hassan makes the cover 1.....2......KICK OUT!!!!!! Hassan screams in anger and lifts Taker again.... ANOTHER WEAPON OF MASS DESTRUCTION TO TAKER! Hassan makes the cover again 1.....2..... KICK OUT!!!!!!!!

Hassan lifts Taker and puts him on the top. Hassan goes up and hooks for a Weapon of Mass Destruction. But this time OFF THE TOP!!!! Hassan gets ready to fall back but Taker begins to elbow Hassan in the head. Hassan breaks the grip holding Taker for the move. Taker then wraps his hand around Hassan's throat. Taker lifts Hassan...... CHOKESLAM OFF THE TOP AND HASSAN LANDS HARD!!!!! OH MY GOD!!!!!! Taker gets off the top and makes the cover 1........2........ Taker lifts Hassan's head up. Taker does the cutthroat its over taunt. Taker then picks Hassan up and lifts Hassan onto his shoulder. Taker gets ready to Tombstone Hassan.... But from behind comes that man who we don't even know the name of yet. But for the smarter indy fans they know its Homicide. Homicide gets in the ring with a chair and cracks it over Takers back. The ref calls for the bell giving Taker the DQ win and Daivari gets in the ring. Homicide and Daivari begin to beat down Taker. Hassan slowly gets to his feet. Hassan and Homicide set Taker up on the top. Daivari goes to the outside and grabs the carpet. Homicide jumps to the second rope and does the 180 into the top rope Ace Crusher. Taker lands hard and Daivari starts climbing to the top holding the rug. Hassan picks Taker up and hits another Weapon of Mass Destruction on Taker. Taker lands hard and as Taker rolls onto his back Daivari comes off the top with the Magic Carpet Ride right onto The Undertaker. Daivari then stands up and the three lay the rug over Taker so it completely covers him. Hassan then stands onto of Taker as Daivari and Homicide stand on either side of Hassan.

WWE Tag Titles: World's Greatest Tag Team v2.0(Charlie Haas and Bryan Danielson)© vs MNM(Joey Mercury and Johnny Nitro):
Fairly good match here. Danielson and Mercury started this one off with some pretty good chain wrestling. Mercury showed off his original greatness with this one. Working a chain wrestling style similar to Owen's during his runs as a heel. Lots of cheap tactics to get into holds. Mercury worked over Danielson's head for most of it trying to make Danielson pass out. Danielson stuck to Mercury's left arm obviouslly setting up for the World's Greatest Submission(Cattle Mutilation) for later in the match. This continues for a short period of time before Danielson manages to get an arm wringer locked in extremely tight on Mercury. Danielson uses this chance to pull Mercury to his corner. Danielson makes the tag into Haas and Haas gets into the ring and kicks Mercury's arm. Haas then quickly takes an arm wringer on Mercury. Haas then spins through with a second twist on the arm this time fast enough to send Mercury into a flip bump. Mercury lands hard on his back and Haas legdrops Mercury's arm. Haas then locks in a arm scissors type move. Haas holds it tight and Mercury back rolls. Mercury uses his full power to lift Haas dead weight off the ground from there. Mercury holds Haas on his shoulder and stumbles. Haas rolls forward sending Mercury rolling aswell. Haas is now close enough and tags into Danielson. Haas lets go of the hold and picks Mercury up as Danielson climbs to the top. Haas locks in an arm wringer and bends Mercury down. Danielson them comes flying off the top with a double stomp right onto Mercury's elbow as Haas holds the arm. This sends Mercury down holding his elbow in complete pain. Danielson quickly locks in an arm wringer again on Mercury and Mercury holds in pain. Mercury goes to the ropes and grabs with one hand and to our surprise goes for the flip over to his feet. But Danielson pulls him away from the rope into the middle of the ring and this takes away Mercury's balance to his feet and Mercury just lands hard on his back. Danielson quicklly begins to stomp on the arm of Mercury. Danielson pulls Mercury by the arm over to Danielson's corner. Danielson stands on Mercury's arm and makes the tag to Haas. Haas climbs to the top and comes flying off the top with a flying elbow drop. Just before Haas lands Danielson moves away from Mercury and Haas lands driving his elbow right into Mercury's arm. Haas then stands up quick and legdrops Mercury's arm. Haas continues to work on it before letting Mercury stand up. Mercury stands and Haas quickly armdrags him. Haas holds the arm tights and Mercury slowly gets up with Haas. Mercury uses what he can do push Haas off the ropes with an irish whip sending Haas running. Haas runs and when he hits the other ropes is met with Johnny Nitro's knee to the lower back of Haas. Haas stumbles foeward into a quick suplex from Mercury who then tags into Nitro. Mercury gets out of the ring and tends to his arm as Nitro gets in. Nitro begins to stomp on Haas. Nitro starts to work Haas over with some more heelish things. Mostly lots of closed fist punches, eye rakes, chokes, and other things like that. Nitro eventually hooks Haas up for the Nitro Driver but Haas blocks and goes for a backdrop. But Nitro goes over to his feet and ends up getting Haas with a quick backslide pin but Haas rolls through Haas goes for a dropkick and Nitro side steps it and somehow Haas lands on his feet. Haas swings for a clothesline but Nitro ducks. Haas turns around and Nitro quickly pokes Haas in the eyes and Haas stumbles backwards holding his eyes. Haas slowly walks forward right into a sit out slam(Michinoku Driver) from Nitro but it only gets a 2 count. Nitro gets angry and tags out to Mercury. Mercury goes to the top and comes off with a double ax handle to the head of Haas. Haas holds his forehead as he drops to both knees. Mercury begins to kick Haas in the head as Haas is on his knees. Mercury then runs and hits the ropes. On the way back Mercury hits the grounded clothesline putting Haas on his back and Mercury in a pin position. The ref counts 1......2..... and Danielson gets in the ring to make the save but the ref goes and pushes Danielson back. Nitro gets in and him and Mercury begin to beat down on Haas. Mercury then slaps his hands together and leaves the ring as the ref turns around. Nitro continues to beat on Haas as the ref asks if they tagged. Nitro says yes and for whatever reason the ref beleives him. Nitro continues the beating on Haas who is now holding his head in extreme pain almost looking to be concussed. Nitro now grabs Haas and goes for a brainbuster but Haas floats over Nitro's shoulder onto his feet. At that point Mercury gets into the ring to distract the ref. Haas jumps backwards and tags into Danielson. Danielson gets into the ring and clotheslines Nitro but the ref didn't see the tag and forces Danielson out of the ring.

Mercury makes the cover on Haas as the ref turns around 1......2...... HAAS GETS HIS FOOT ON THE ROPES! Mercuy gets angry and slams Haas down infront of the corner. Mercury springs up to the second rope and goes back with a shocking moonsault. Haas however rolls out of the way and Mercury lands hard on his stomach and bounces up. The crowd screams in cheers as the ref counts to about 8 before both men get to there feet. Both then fall back to there knees. Mercury tags into Nitro but just seconds after Haas tags Danielson. Danielson gets in the ring and clothesline Nitro sending Nitro into a sick looking crunch bump. Danielson then does the same to Mercury.

Danielson goes down holding his back as Nitro gets up. Haas runs at Nitro and they go over the top. Nitro and Haas begin to brawl on the outside. In the ring Mercury goes to clothesline Danielson but Danielson catches him and trips him out. Danielson then hooks Mercury's arms and bridges over into the World's Greatest Submission(Cattle Mutilation). Mercury is screaming in pain and is pretty much giving up bot the ref won't allow it as Mercury isn't the legal man but Danielson doesn't let go. On the outside Nitro rakes Haas's eyes and throws Haas over the barricade. Nitro then grabs a chair. Nitro gets in the ring and slams the chair over Danielson's stomach. Danielson breaks the hold and the ref calls for the bell. Danielson rolls out of the ring holding his stomach as the ref grabs the tag belts. The ref hands them to Danielson and Haas who is now up. Haas helps Danielson to the back. In the ring Mercury is up and he pushes Nitro. Nitro pushes Mercury back. Mercury slaps Nitro and calls Nitro an idiot. Nitro has his body turned rubbing his face with his hand. Nitro then spins back and cracks the chair over Mercury's head. Nitro then gets out of the ring and walks to the back as Melina stands at ringside wondering what to do and we go to ringside with Tazz and Cole before the World Title match.

However Christian ran past Richards and cheapshotted Batista right in the nose. Batista fell down sitting in the corner and Christian began to stomp Batista down. Richards pulls Christian back and pushes him into the corner opposite of Batista. Richards goes back to check on Batista who is already covered in blood from what looks to be a broken nose and the bell hasn't even rung yet! Richards helps Batista gain his composure before calling for the bell to ring starting the match. The bell rings and Batista and Christian begin to circle. Batista spends most of the time circling the ring shaking his head trying to shake off the cobwebs of getting his nose busted. Finally Batista and Christian lock up and Batista pushes Christian back and Christian lands on his back. Batista continues shaking his head. The two lock up again and Christian quickly takes an arm wringer on Batista. Batista switches it on Christian to an arm wringer of his own. As soon as Batista gets it however Christian quickly pokes Batista in the eyes. Batista drops to one knee and stumbles around the ring as Richards yells at Christian. Christian pushes Richards away and goes right at Batista. Christian starts to punch Batista in the face trying pretty much to make Batista's nose even worse.

It states that Paul London is now an official member of the RAW Roster! Bringing with him the Cruiserweight title which will officially be retired and forgotten about never to be used again on RAW or Smackdown.

Nowinski smiles as London looks almost ashamed but has a look like he had to do it. We then cut to Rey in the ring with a look of disbeleif on his face aswell as the same look being on Cole, Tazz, the Smackdown ref still in the ring, and all of the Smackdown Security workers. We then fade off the air officially ending the Great American Bash on a rather high note for the show itself but what seems to be a low note for the Smackdown brand.

World Title Match:
Batista© vs Christian|Special Guest Ref: Stevie Richards:
Christian defeated JBL on the first Smackdown of July to gain #1 contendership to the World Title. We haven't heard from JBL since! Christian and Batista have had quite a heated feud since then. Which was heightened by Stevie Richards jump from RAW to Smackdown. Stevie was obviouslly meant to beat down Batista with a chair but instead Stevie ended up kicking Christian square in the jaw with a Stevie Kick. This lead to Stevie defeating Christian in a one on one match with slight help from Batista. Eric Bischoff would not allow Stevie to be in the World Title match like many thought he deserved. Instead Bischoff made him the Special Guest Ref! Will Batista retain and continue to be a monsterous World Champ? Will Christian win the title for his first time? Will Stevie do the right thing or the "right" thing as reffered to by Eric Bischoff?

Backstage with Hassan and Daivari:
We go backstage where Muhammad Hassan is standing beside Josh Mathews. Mathews begins to speak.
Josh Mathews: Well Muhammad Hassan you requested this time at the opening of the show for a little promo against the Undertaker. With Daivari. So thats what i'd like to know where is Daivari?
Muhammad Hassan: Daivari is busy getting ready for the Undertaker later tonight. He will be joining us shortly.
Josh Mathews: So what did you want to say exactly?
Muhammad Hassan: Josh tonight is the beginning of The Undertakers Last Ride! I have volunteered my assistant Khosrow Daivari to go one on one with the Undertaker. Now many of you may wonder. Why Muhammad? Why would you volunteer your smaller less skilled assistant to face The Undertaker before the Great American Bash? Well its quite simple unlike racist America I give everyone an equal chance. Not to mention the fact that Khosrow knows this is for the greater good in our life.
Josh Mathews: What do you mean greater good?
Muhammad Hassan: You will find out later tonight Josh. But back to the Under.... o wait here is Khosrow now.
Daivari comes running up to Hassan and starts saying something in Farsi. Daivari has a worried look on his face and half way through Hassan cuts Daivari off.
Muhammad Hassan: Khosrow, Khosrow. Don't worry. This is for the greater good tonight Khosrow you will do your job and then you will be rewarded. Do not worry.
Hassan continues comforting Daivari as we fade out to the opening video and the ringside area with Michael Cole and Tazz.

Michael Cole: Welcome everybody to WWE Smackdown. I wonder what Hassan meant that Daivari will be a pawn for the greater good so to speak.
Tazz: I have no idea Cole. But it looks like we're gonna open the show with Johnny Nitro vs Charlie Haas!
Johnny Nitro vs Charlie Haas:
The two men came out with their partners and Nitro with Melina aswell. Before the match started Eric Bischoff came on the screen and said he was bored tonight and wants to see a legit one on one match. Bischoff said he's sure the crowd will enjoy that aswell. So Bischoff tells Melina, Mercury, and Bryan Danielson to all head to the back. Once this match got started it was pretty good. It was what Bischoff asked for, a legit match. These guys went for a good 7 minutes straight with chain wrestling, legit throws and slams, and just overall basic things put together in a way that made the crowd go crazy for it. Charlie Haas managed to hit an extremelly nice Dragon Suplex with a bridge nearing the end but it only got a 2-count. A frusturated Haas picked Nitro up and sat him on the top rope with Nitro's back to the ring. Haas climbed to the second rope and called for a German Suplex off the top but Nitro kept elbowing Haas in the head. Finally we see Nitro reach into his tights and throw his fist back and Haas gets clocked in the forehead with a sick punch. Haas falls and we see Nitro put a pair of brass knucks into his tights. Nitro then laughs at Haas and scales to the top..... SHOOTING STAR 450 FROM NITRO TO HAAS! Nitro bounces off Haas after landing hard. Nitro then goes back to make the cover 1.....2....3!!!!! Johnny Nitro picks up the win after a shot with brass knucks. AND HERE COMES MERCURY! Mercury slides in the ring and him and Nitro go to beat down Haas but Mercury is followed closely by Bryan Danielson. Danielson gets in the ring aswell and Haas slowly stands. A brawl ensues between the two teams that lasts alittle under a minute before security steps in and holds the two teams back as we fade to commercial.

Paul London and Doug Basham vs Rey Mysterio and Chris Benoit:
Good match here. The psychology was great and I think we're starting to see a heel turn by Paul London but i'm not sure. Basiclly we only saw about a minute of Rey and London in the ring together as London tried to dodge Rey at every step. Mysterio and Basham did some nice spot stuff with Basham taking over the technical end. Where as London and Benoit did the same but with London taking the spot end and Benoit the technical end. Benoit and Basham was just simply put a technical masterpeice in the ring when they were against each other. The end saw Rey and London in the ring together going at it pretty strong with Rey having a slight advantage. Finally Rey got the large advantage over London. Rey pulled out the 619 but London went flying out of the ring almost thanking god he got kicked hard enough to do so. An angry Rey went to the outside and slid London in. Rey dragged London to his corner but London fought back. London ended up across the ring and Rey tagged in Benoit. Doug Basham hopped off the apron in fear of wrestling Benoit anymore. Benoit ran at London with a clothesline but London ducked. Rey then ran at London and London backdropped Rey over the top RIGHT onto Basham. London then turned to Benoit swinging with a clothesline. But Benoit ducks and catches Rey.... German #1.....German #2......German #3....... wait only the first 2 are hit and on the 3rd Benoit hooks London's arm and goes straight down in the Crippler Crossface. London screams and tries to fight it for about a minute as Rey holds Basham back. Finally London can't hold on anymore and London taps. Rey gets in the ring and helps London up. London, Rey, and Benoit all shake hands. London and Rey walk to the back together as Basham gets in the ring. Basham and Benoit shake hands but gets real tight and start to talk trash towards each other. The two get ready to brawl but suddenlly Eric Bischoff appears on screen.

Basham and Benoit stop what they're doing to look to the screen and Eric Bischoff. Bischoff smiles and begins to speak.
Eric Bischoff: Well let me tell you! I'm shocked that someone actually turned to listen to me without me having to yell at them. So because of that i'll make this short and sweet and to the point.

They get to the parking lot area and suddenlly out of some doorway come Johnny Nitro and Joey Mercury. Nitro and Mercury take down Haas and Danielson quick. They then find some metal poles up against the wall. They slam the poles down onto Haas and Danielson who twitch in pain. They then take Danielson and Haas's bags and throw all the clothes out around the parking lot. Mercury and Nitro then grab the Tag Titles out of the bags. They put them around there shoulders and look down at a beaten down Haas and Danielson. Mercury then speaks.
Joey Mercury: Heh heh. Did ya enjoy that you losers? We're just gonna take these belts. We figure we might aswell just hold onto them for three extra days because we know we're gonna win anyways! Heh heh.

Michael Cole: WHAT THE HELL!!!!!!! THATS NOT RIGHT!!!!!!!
Tazz: It may not be right Cole but lets look past that and to the announcement General Manager Eric Bischoff just made. US Title, 3-way Dance, Great American Bash it'll be huge!
Michael Cole: I agree with ya there Tazz. But now Jamie "Jamie-San" Noble goes one on one with Super Crazy! The final match in this singles series before the 6-man tag at The Great American Bash!
Jamie "Jamie-San" Noble vs Super Crazy:
No one came out with there respective partner. This was a pretty good match up. Thank god Super Crazy is actually good compared to the other Mexicools. Jamie Noble did a good job of slightly carrying Crazy aswell. The match started off with some chain wrestling with Noble having a clear advantage. After about a minute or two Noble went into an arm wringer but was met only by a rake of the eyes from Super Crazy. Crazy quickly took it to more of a spotty style hitting some quick slams, suplexes, busting out a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker, and even a powerbomb. Crazy used all these moves in a nice little spread obviouslly working over the midsection area of Jamie Noble for the big moonsault. Eventually Crazy gets Noble down and goes for the moonsault and HE HITS IT! Crazy stays on for the count 1.....2...... KICK OUT! NOBLE KICKED OUT! The crowd is going crazy and Crazy sets Noble up in the middle. Crazy goes to the apron and pulls out the 180 Springboard Moonsault! BUT NOBLE MOVES!!!!!! Crazy lands hard on his gut and rolls around in pain. Noble begins his hot comeback with a clothesline to Crazy, then a back elbow, then a dropkick, then a slam, then a suplex, then a double underhook suplex but on the double underhook suplex Noble rolls through. Noble calls for the Tiger Driver. Noble lifts Crazy and slams him hard in the powerbomb position from the Tiger Driver. But suddenlly Psychosis and Juvi hit the ring... however not far behind are Jimmy Yang and Kaz Hayashi. A huge brawl ensues and the ref calls for the bell ruling this a no contest.

The 6 men continue brawling with the Mexicools having a slight advantage. The Mexicools begin to really get the Jung Dragons down with some stiff punches, kicks, forearms and elbows. However eventually the Jung Dragons all begin to fight back. It doesn't take long before Noble throws Crazy out of the ring, which is followed by Yang throwing Juvi out of the ring, and followed by Hayashi throwing Psychosis out of the ring.

Michael Cole: DAMNIT! That match was ruined by the Mexicools uneccesary interference! I'm just glad the Jung Dragons were their quick enough that it didn't get to out of hand for Noble.
Tazz: Hey now Cole. Both teams were there at once. Both teams ruined the match simple as that.
Michael Cole: I guess. But lets get to Undertaker vs Daivari now.
The Undertaker vs Khosrow Daivari:
I guess for what it was it was pretty good. It was bassiclly a way to get the feud between Hassan and Taker abit more heat and introduce a new worker. But will get to that in a second. The match started off with Daivari just going to the outside and pleading with Hassan not to force him to go back in and actually wrestle Taker. But Hassan forced Daivari to do so. Daivari got in the ring and rather reluctantly punches Taker in the face. Taker turns his head and puts his hand to his mouth to see if he's bleeding at all. Taker turns back and Daivari begins to cower. Taker however latches his hand around Daivari's throat and simply says "Should have just walked away son". Taker then lifts Daivari.... CHOKESLAM! Taker then picks Daivari up and goes for a Tombstone. But Hassan gets in the ring and Taker lets go of Daivari. Taker then turns his attention to Hassan. Taker latches his hand around Hassan's throat... but someone comes from behind and nails Taker in the back. The smarter fans and indy fans will recognize this man as Homicide of ROH, JAPW, and other promotions fame. But Homicide has a Hassan like turban on and is dressed rather like Daivari and Hassan are usually. Homicide begins to punch at Taker really hard as the ref calls for the bell. Homicide, Hassan and Daivari all beat Taker down. Daivari goes out of the ring and pulls a carpet out from under the ring. As Daivari does this Hassan hits Taker with The WMD(Hassans Flatliner). Hassan and Homicide then pick Taker up and set him up on the second rope. Homicide then climbs up and Homicide pulls out the Diamond Cutter off the second rope. Taker then lay motionless in the ring as Daivari goes to the top with the rug...... MAGIC CARPET RIDE(Frogsplash holding the rug) onto Taker! The Arab-American Trio then stand in the ring on the carpet which is now laid out triumphant as we fade to the final commercial break of the evening.

Stevie Richards vs Christian:
We come straight back to the match between Richards and Christian without any announcing before it. This was a very good match and really showed off both Stevie and Christians strengths. The match started with some chain wrestling where Richards kept outsmarting Christian. But at the same time Richards used heel tactics like chops and punches during the chain. I guess Richards is kinda a tweener right now. Richards eventually locks in a headlock. Richards wrenches it hard on Christian as Christian screams in pain. However after a few seconds of selling Christian spins out into an outside top wristlock. Christian then quickly breaks it to rake the eyes of Richards. Christian then takes the slight advantage with lots of filler. However to Christians credit he spent alot of it working on Richards head/neck area to obviouslly set up for the UnPrettier. Christian works Stevie with lots of rest holds like chin locks and what not but it works for the neck/head working. Christian also does not hesitate to bust out a suplex or two during the bout. Christian hits a few stiff punches aswell. Christian eventually starts getting more aggressive. He catches Stevie with a neckbreaker followed up by a DDT. However it only gets a 2 count when Christian goes for the cover. Christian however wastes no time to pull out the reverse DDT backbreaker over the knee onto Stevie. Right after Christian held on and stood back up and hit a quick fallout reverse DDT. Christian made the cover 1.....2...... KICK OUT! Christian got quite angry and picked Stevie up and went up to the second holding Stevie. Christian hooked him in a reverse DDT and called for the Tornado Reverse DDT. Christian went spinning for the tornado but Stevie spun through so Christian landed on his feet and as soon as Christian did Richards pulled out a release Northern Lights. The crowd goes crazy as Christian gets up and runs at Stevie. Clothesline to Christian, back elbow to Christian, backdrop to Christian! Stevie finally hooks Christian and goes for the Stevie T but Christian blocks it. Stevie lets go and jumps back. Stevie quickly goes for a Stevie Kick but Christian catches Stevie's foot and spins Stevie. Half way Christian catches Stevie's arms from behind. Christian spins in so they're in an UnPrettier position. Christian drops out hitting it on Stevie and Stevie looks out of it. Christian makes the cover 1.....2...... KICK OUT!!!!!! The crowd is going crazy as Christian gets angry and goes to the outside. Christian grabs a chair and gets into the ring with it. Christian goes to the opposite side of Richards and holds the chair up. Christian starts yelling for Stevie to get up. Stevie gets to his feet but suddenlly someone grabs the chair... ITS BATISTA! Batista and Christian start playing tug-o-war for the chair but Batista has no problem pulling it away from Christian. Batista gets the chair and Christian turns. Stevie goes for a Stevie Kick but Christian catches the foot again. Christian spins Stevie all the way around this time. Christian goes for a clothesline as Stevie comes around but Stevie ducks. Christian turns around..... STEVIE KICK!!!!! STEVIE FINALLY HIT IT! Stevie makes the cover 1.....2.....3!!!!!!!! STEVIE RICHARDS WINS!!!!!! Stevie gets out of the ring quick and looks at Batista almost unappreciative. Stevie just has a blank and serious look on his face. Stevie then walks up the entrance isle towards the back.

Eric Bischoff makes an announcement directly to Stevie Richards:
Stevie continues walking and instead of fading out the camera follows Stevie backstage. Stevie goes backstage and we see him grab a water bottle in the gorilla position area. Stevie walks through and poors the water on his head trying to cool off. Stevie gets out of the gorilla position and there is Eric Bischoff waiting for him. Stevie gets to Bischoff and gets this weird look on his face. Bischoff speaks.
Eric Bischoff: Stevie you may think you deserve the world title shot now. But well thats not going to happen. No matter how much you, these fans, or anyone else think you deserve it. It's not happening. BUT, to make it seem fair. You will be in the World Title match at The Great American Bash. But not wrestling, not going for the title, but better yet! You will be the SPECIAL GUEST REFEREE! I trust you will make the right decision Mr. Richards.
Bischoff then walks away leaving Stevie with the same blank serious look on his face as we've come to expect as we fade out ending the show.

General Manager Nowinski announces first 5 Round Robin Matches for the night:
We open the show up with Christopher Nowinski in his office. Nowinski looks to his television screen which currently has the Round Robin Logo on the screen and the names of the 5 participants in the tournament. Triple H, Jeff Jarrett, Shawn Michaels, Chris Jericho and Shelton Benjamin. Nowinski then looks back to the camera and he begins to speak.
Christopher Nowinski: Obviouslly as all of you know that this week is the beginning of the 5 man Round Robin Tournament for the #1 Contendership to the WWE Title. Triple H, Shawn Michaels, Jeff Jarrett, Chris Jericho and Shelton Benjamin will all be battling in 10 diffrent singles matches for the chance to go onto Summerslam against WWE Champion John Cena. The rules are as follows. Each person with face all other participants atleast once. For example Triple H will have a singles match against Michaels, Jarrett, Jericho and Benjamin all once. The same applies to all of the others. The winner will be the worker with the highest number of wins after the last match that takes place. Now without furhter adu I will announce the first 5 matches which will happen tonight on WWE RAW. They're as follows:
Shawn Michaels will take on Chris Jericho to open the tournament.
Triple H will take on Jeff Jarrett in the second bout of tonights tournament matches.
Chris Jericho versus Shelton Benjamin will follow Triple H vs Jeff Jarrett.
Jeff Jarrett will then take on Chris Jericho after his bout with Shelton Benjamin.

Christopher Nowinski: To be fair to Chris Jericho his match with Shelton Benjamin will happen.

So I guess its time to get this show started with Shawn Michaels versus Chris Jericho!

JR: Welcome everyone to WWE RAW and tonight our slobber knocker of a round robin tournament begins!
Jerry Lawler: Thats right JR. The Round Robin for the #1 Contendership to the WWE Championship starts tonight and begins right now with Shawn Michaels vs Chris Jericho!
Round Robin #1 Contenders Tournament Match #1: Shawn Michaels vs Chris Jericho:
Unbeleivable match. This totally set the pace for the entire tournament and I will give everyone else in this thing a medal if they can keep up to it. The match began with a good 3 minutes of solid chain wrestling between the two veterans. It lead into a tackle spot that saw Shawn Michaels drop down at the end and when getting up get clocked by a Superkick from Chris Jericho which the crowd was shocked by. The fall however only got a 2 count and when Jericho went for a suplex it was counted and Michaels caught the old school back suplex. Michaels than said he's to strong to get taken down by his move to Jericho. Michaels worked Jericho over for another few minutes. Michaels hit everything he could but just couldn't catch the victory over Jericho. Eventually Jericho takes over and whips Michaels into the ropes. Michaels however goes for his flying punch type move. Jericho takes the oppurtunity however and ducks down. Michaels lands hard and rolls onto the apron. Michaels gets to his feet and Jericho pulls out the second rope spring dropkick. Sending Michaels to the floor off the apron. Jericho then waits for Michaels to stand and Jericho runs and jumps to the second. Jericho flies back going for his old school Lionsault to the outside. However Michaels runs out of the way and quickly hops to the apron. Jericho lands on his feet luckily and gets his balance. However by this time Michaels is on the top and Michaels goes flying backwards with a moonsault hitting Jericho taking both men to the ground. After a bit of selling the two get into the ring and Michaels goes for the Sweet Chin Music but Jericho catches his foot and spins him around. Once Michaels gets looking back at Jericho his legs are quickly pulled out from under him and Jericho quickly locks in the Walls of Jericho. Michaels starts to scream but uses all his strength to push his legs and send Jericho stumbling forward right into the ref. The ref goes down and Michaels is up. Jericho turns slowly and.... SWEET CHIN MUSIC! Jericho goes down and Michaels notices the ref is out. Michaels goes to revive the ref and the ref slowly stands still out of it. Michaels turns to go for the cover but.... CHAIR SHOT THE MICHAELS! Michaels goes down as we see Jeff Jarrett come into the screen and crack the chair of Michaels's head. Jarrett rolls Jericho ontop of the down and out Shawn Michaels. Jarrett then gets out of the ring and runs through the crowd so the ref doesn't see him. The ref drops down to his hands and knees and makes the count 1.....2.....3!!!!! Chris Jericho wins the first match of this tournament giving Jericho the one and only point so far!
Winner: Chris Jericho(Points: 1)
Overall Rating: 83%
JR: WHAT THE HELL!!!!!! THAT IS NOT RIGHT! SHAWN MICHAELS SHOULD HAVE WON THAT MATCH! BAH GAWD WHAT A SON OF A BITCH JARRETT IS!
Jerry Lawler: I know what you mean JR but I think Jarrett had the right in this situation after last night.
JR: Maybe you're right King. But incase our fans at home and in this arena don't know lets go to the footage of last nights TNA No Surrender Pay Per View. Also I am told their is an extra part to this footage.
Shawn Michaels makes his appearance at TNA No Surrender and a challenge is made to Michaels:
We go to the titan tron and see the closing minutes of Jarrett and Raven. Jarrett had a good advantage over Raven. Jarrett hit the stroke once and only got a 2 count. So Jarrett brings a chair into the ring. Jarrett lifts a dazed Raven and slams him face first onto the chair with a second Stroke. However it STILL only gets a 2 count. Jarrett in anger grabs the chair again and gets ready to hit Raven with what i'm assuming could be the sickest chair shot EVER. Raven slowly stands and Jarrett swings but Raven gets pushed out of the way. Jarrett does a full 360 from the velocity and when he gets back around is met by a SWEET CHIN MUSIC from Shawn Michaels! The entire TNA crowd is going nuts at this point as Michaels pulls Raven over top of Jarrett! Raven not knowing what to think then got out of the ring sort of annoyed looking. Michaels then took the microphone.
Shawn Michaels: Jeff Jarrett you son of a bitch! I just showed you I can make your life hell! I just showed up on a TNA pay per view kicking your face in! Jarrett at SummerSlam in one month if this match I want happens I will kill you! I'll make sure somehow this match happens and you never see the light of day again. And Jeff even if for some ungodly reason I don't make this match happen. Then I will find other ways and take other measures to make sure you never EVER step foot in a wrestling ring again weather it be in TNA or the WWE!
Michaels then dropped the microphone and taunted as most of the crowd cheered. Security finally ran out and handcuffed Michaels and took him out of the building. We then cut to the backstage area were we see Raven.
Raven: Shawn Michaels.... the epitome of everything I hate in my life... the epitome of evil.... the epitome of a WWE Superstar. Shawn I was in that company for atleast 4 years and what did they ever do for me? Nothing! But I came to Total Nonstop Action the biggest branch of the NWA today. Shawn winning the title I hold right now was my destiny. But at the same time Shawn. Defending that title on my own and holding it for many months to come was also my destiny. YOU TOOK THAT AWAY FROM ME SHAWN! Now I will always have a blemish on my record saying I beat Jeff Jarrett at Total Nonstop Action's No Surrender Pay Per View with help from a WWE superstar. With help from The Heart Break Kid Shawn Michaels! But I want that blemish off my record Shawn. I know AJ Styles won #1 Contendership to this title last night at No Surrender. But what I ask of you is that one week before WWE's Summerslam Pay Per View. I ask that you come the week before to TNA's Sacrifice Pay Per View. And I will put this title on the line in a 3-way match. Me, You and AJ. 3-Men, no rules, one title! I want an answer Shawn. And I want one soon! Because I must relinquish myself of the blemish you left on my record! Quote the Raven, Nevermore!

Jerry Lawler: WOW! I can't beleive Shawn Michaels went to the rival promotion just to beat up his rival. I also can not fathem the fact that Raven challenged Michaels to a match at TNA's next Pay Per View!
JR: Neither can I King. I'm totally shocked. I seriouslly wonder if Vince McMahon will allow Michaels to work the TNA Pay Per View if he accepts the challenge.
Jerry Lawler: I don't know JR but CARLITO'S OUT HERE FOR CARLITO'S CABANA! And Carlito is freakin' cool so shut up JR!
Carlito's Cabana|Guest: John Cena:
We go to the ring were Carlito is standing in his little interview area. But oddly enough theirs not a single prop in it this week. Carlito looks around as the crowd looks stunned. Also because Carlito is in attire. Carlito gets the microphone and he begins to speak.
Carlito: You people may be wondering why my usual set isn't up here. Well its quite simple. That hooligan John Cena gave the workers driving my truck directions to a diffrent town. That was not cool John! You also may wonder why i'm in my attire. Tis quite a simple concept. Since John Cena is not cool enough to allow my truck to get here with my props. I have an alterior motive. I want a match with that Vanilla Ice wannabe tonight right now! But since i'm being forced to do this interview first lets bring out to the ring.... John Cena.
Cena's music hits the crowd pops like crazy. Cena comes walking out the curtain and down the ramp playing up to the crowd. Cena eventually gets into the ring and gets his own microphone. Carlito then begins to speak.
Carlito: So Joh.....
John Cena: Shut up! I hear you're mad about my little prank? You think its not cool?
Carlito: No I don't think its cool!
John Cena: Does the crowd think its cool?
The crowd cheers and Cena laughs as Carlito jumps around furious with anger.
Carlito: WHATEVER! THIS CROWD IS NOT COOL!
John Cena: They're very cool Carlito and i'm John Cena! YOU CAN'T SEE ME! Thats how cool I am! I'll wrestle you any time, anywhere, anyhow Carlito! But since this is supposed to be an interview ask me a question why don'tcha?
Carlito: Ok heres a VERY cool question. How do you think it will feel when the Round Robin #1 Tournament ends and YOU lose your title at SummerSlam like the LOSER you are?
John Cena: I dunno man but I've got a slight idea... tell me how this feels ok.
Cena drops the mic and his belt and punches Carlito in the face. The two begin to brawl and eventually a ref comes running down to the ring and the bell rings starting an inpromtu match between John Cena and Carlito.

John Cena vs Carlito Carribean Cool:
Fairly decent match for what it was. These two have never totally impressed but can sure get the crowd going. Cena started off with a slight advantage and had the crowd in the palm of his hand until Carlito cut him off with a kitchen sink knee to the gut. Cena flipped over Carlito's knee and landed hard. Carlito went to work on Cena hitting some basic moves. Suplex, slam, some punches, kicks and stomps, etc. Carlito eventually slammed Cena and busted out a move we haven't seen Carlito do since his debut which is the slingshot elbow drop over the top. Carlito made the cover after that but only managed to get a 2-count. An angry Carlito picked Cena up and went to irish whip Cena. But Cena reversed and screamed the crowd went nuts and Cena threw a clothesline but Carlito ducked under and rolled Cena up. Carlito put his feet on the ropes 1.....2.... the ref sees Carlito's feet and tells Carlito the pin is illegal. Carlito gets up and gets extremely angry with the ref. Carlito turns around to see Cena regaining his composure. Carlito kicks Cena in the gut and DDT's him. Carlito makes the cover 1.....2..... CENA KICKS OUT! The crowd goes crazy as Carlito gets quite angry. Carlito goes for another DDT but Cena punches Carlito in the kidneys. Carlito moves back and runs at Cena but only gets caught with Cena's flying sitout hiptoss. Cena stands up and yells. Cena runs off the ropes and then does the "You Can't See Me" taunt then brushes off his shoulder and drops the five knuckle shuffle onto the fact of Carlito. Carlito sells it like a champ and Cena makes the cover 1.....2.... kick out from Carlito. Cena picks Carlito up and goes for the FU but Carlito flips all the way through to his feet. Carlito runs and jumps to the second then goes for the 180 crossbody move. Cena however catches him and Cena manages to throw Carlito up to his shoulders like Brock Lesnar used to do. Cena then does the "You Can't See Me" taunt one more time and gets ready to throw Carlito down for the FU but Carlito starts to kick away and manages to kick the ref in the face. At about that point Triple H jumps into the ring with a sledgehammer. Triple H hits Cena right in the face and Cena stumbles putting Carlito down to his feet. Triple H then grabs Cena and hits him with a Pedigree. Carlito smiles and goes to the second rope. Triple H picks Cena up and gives him to Carlito who wraps his arm around Cena's head. Triple H grabs the Sledgehammer and gets out of the ring quickly. Carlito then busts out a Tornado DDT! Carlito makes the cover and the ref turns around still holding his face and counts 1.....2....3!!!! CARLITO WINS! Carlito celebrates and the crowd boo's as we fade to commercial.

Jerry Lawler: Whatever you say JR! But now Triple H is gonna face Jeff Jarrett and prove he is our top star!
Round Robin #1 Contenders Tournament Match #2: Triple H vs Jeff Jarrett:
This was a fairly good match. I think it was hard for the crowd to get behind one worker due to both being heels. However they eventually got behind Triple H i'm assuming because he is WWE through and through and because Jeff Jarrett cause HBK the victory early in the night. The match started out with some slow but well executed chain wrestling that lead into Jarrett taking a long winded advantage. Jarrett worked over Triple H's knee for alot of the match and thats when the crowd started getting behind Triple H as it was obvious Triple H was working the face role at this point. Jarrett really worked over Triple H's knee and Triple H sold it well by limping around the ring. Eventually Triple H caught Jarrett with the facebuster over the knee. However Triple H being smart sold his knee even more than Jarrett sold his face. Jarrett came back with a quick dropkick to Triple H's knee. Triple H falls flat to his face screaming in pain holding his knee. Jarrett continues to work it over and finally locks in the figure four on Triple H. Triple H starts screaming in pain as Shawn Michaels slowly comes walking down the ramp. Michaels smiles at Jarrett as Triple H rolls over to his stomach. Triple H is still screaming as Jarrett pushes up to try and keep pressure on Triple H's leg. Triple H slowly crawls to the ropes as Michaels pushes them forward. Triple H grabs the bottom rope and Jarrett breaks the hold. Jarrett picks Triple H up and kicks his leg and Triple H now has his back to Jarrett on the other side of the ring. Jarrett runs off the ropes near Michaels and Michaels grabs Jarrett's leg. Jarrett doesn't fall but he turns around and yells at Michaels. Jarrett finally turns and gets caught with a quick kick to the gut followed by a Pedigree from Triple H! Triple H sells his knee for a few seconds then quickly makes the cover 1.....2.....3!!!! TRIPLE H WINS! Michaels smiles and walks to the back. Triple H eventually limps to the back as Jarrett gets up holding his head and we go to JR and King before Benjamin vs Jericho.
Winner: Triple H(Points: 1)
Overall Rating: 58%(The crowd were still pumped up from Carlito vs Cena)
JR: WHAT A MATCH! And Shawn Michaels got back at Jarrett!
Jerry Lawler: You got that right JR! If Jarrett could have beat Triple H it would have made Jarrett huge. But Michaels stopped that.
JR: But i'm being told that Paul Heyman has barred Shawn Michaels from ringside for Jarrett vs Jericho. I've also been told Michaels has been told he will be rewarded if he stays away.
Jerry Lawler: Well its about damn time one of our General Managers does something about Shawn Michaels!
JR: Whatever King. But Shelton Benjamin is out here for the third match in this Round Robin.
Round Robin #1 Contenders Tournament Match #3: Chris Jericho vs Shelton Benjamin:
Great match here. These guys have amazing chemistry in the ring together. The match started off with Jericho establishing himself as the heel of the match quicklly with a cheap kick to the gut during a handshake. Jericho kept the heat on Benjamin for the majority of this match. Jericho took it to Benjamin with everything possible hitting suplexes, slams, backbreakers, even busting out the oldschool double powerbomb spot. Jericho just laughed at Benjamin everytime Benjamin kicked out in a way like "Man just stay down i'm gonna win i'm Chris fuckin' Jericho!" But this did not stop Benjamin. Eventually Jericho attempted to back drop Benjamin over the top but Benjamin lands on his feet on the apron. No matter to Jericho who goes for the second rope spring dropkick. But Benjamin drops to his back on the apron before Jericho goes for it. Jericho ends up going for it and completely misses. Jericho just lands on his own face hard as Benjamin stands back up. Jericho stands up and turns around only to get caught by Benjamin with a springboard flying clothesline. Benjamin starts going to work using all he can against Jericho. Benjamin gets Jericho down and Benjamin scales to the top and goes for a big splash. But Jericho rolls out of the way and Benjamin lands hard. Jericho gets up and picks Benjamin up and goes for an irish whip into the corner. However Benjamin reverses and takes no time to follow Jericho in. Jericho however jumps to the second rope. But in a page LITERALLY taken right out of Taboo Tuesday 2004. Jericho goes for the 180 crossbody and Benjamin catches him right in the Exploder Powerslam. Benjamin makes the cover 1.....2....3!!!! BENJAMIN WINS! Benjamin celebrates abit as we fade to commercial before the World Tag Title Match.

World Tag Title Match: Hurricane and Rosey© vs New Blood Extreme(Matt Capotelli and Johnny Jeter):
We come back to RAW and NBE are already in the ring ready for the match. Hurricane and Rosey come down to the ring but both members of NBE hop out and run up the ramp and begin to brawl with the Hurricane and Rosey. Hurricane and Matt Capotelli jump off the stage and begin to brawl around the cement area. Rosey and Jeter brawl towards the ring and eventualy enter it. Rosey and Jeter keep brawling in the ring as the bell finally rings. Rosey takes the quick advantage due to his size as the crowd cheers him on. Rosey pulls out basic moves for a man of his size like last week. We keep the camera on Capotelli and Hurricane who are still brawling however for a good part of the match. Eventually Hurricane and Capotelli finally make it to the ring. Capotelli takes no time to get up to the apron and knee Rosey in the back giving Jeter a slight advantage. Jeter spends his entire advantage just using his speed on Rosey before tagging in Capotelli. Jeter locks Rosey in an arm wringer and Capotelli climbs to the top and flies off with a double stomp over the arm of Rosey. Capotelli then goes to work on Rosey's arm with basic holds that he can lock in. Hopefully this eliminates Rosey's slamming ability. Capotelli and Jeter keep tagging in and out and keep the heat on Rosey's arm. It ends up with Jeter and Rosey in the ring. Rosey is dazed holding his arm in pain and Jeter climbs to the top. Jeter motions for something and comes flying off with a crossbody but is caught in a fall down slam from Rosey. Rosey then slowly crawls to his corner as Jeter slowly crawls to his. Jeter tags in Capotelli and just seconds later Rosey tags in Hurricane. Hurricane jumps in the ring and he clotheslines Capotelli, then the same for Jeter. Hurricane continues this formula before throwing Jeter over the top. Hurricane busts out the Eye of the Hurricane on Capotelli but only gets a 2 count. Hurricane yells and picks Capotelli up and hits him with a Hurri-Chokeslam. Hurricane makes the cover against but only gets a 2 count. Hurricane then waits for Capotelli to get up to one knee. Capotelli does so and Hurricane runs.... SHINING WIZARD 1.....2.... KICK OUT! Capotelli keeps kicking out. Hurricane goes for a second Shining Wizard now but Capotelli ducks his head and when Hurricane lands on his feet withhis back turned to Capotelli. Hurricane gets low blowed. Capotelli sets up for the Capotelli Driver. But Rosey gets in the ring quicklly and he begins to punch at Capotelli. Hurricane regains his composure and rips his mask off as Rosey continues. Hurricane hells "SUGA SHANE BABY!!!!! VERTABREAK TIME!" the crowd goes crazy as Hurricane/Shane Helms. Hooks Capotelli and picks him up in it..... Hurricane drops.... VERTABREAKER TO MATT CAPOTELLI HOLY SHIT!!!! Jeter however gets in the ring with a chair as Hurricane makes the cover 1.....2..... Jeter hits Rosey with the chair and the ref calls for the DQ! Hurricane gets up and tries to get Jeter but Jeter gets out of the ring quick and Capotelli rolls out holding his head aswell. Capotelli and Jeter slowly walk backwards to the back smiling as we go to JR and King before Jarrett vs Jericho.

Round Robin #1 Contenders Tournament Match #4: Jeff Jarrett vs Chris Jericho:
This match was decent. I'll give these guys all the respect as you could tell they were tired from prior matches but they put on one hell of a show for the fans. It starts off with the two going nose to nose with each other and each slapping each other. Jericho doesn't take to kindly to Jarrett's slap and answers with a forearm. Jarrett does the same. The two continue with shot for shot action until Jarrett pokes the eyes of Jericho. Jericho drops to his knees holding his eyes and Jarrett goes to work on Jericho's head/neck area setting up for the stroke. Jarrett keeps it up with some DDT's, lots of punches, a piledriver, and a few other moves working over the head and neck including lots of submission type moves. Jarrett finally goes for the Stroke but Jericho blocks it and goes to work on Jarrett. Jericho pulls out the double underhook into a backbreaker. Jericho also catches a DDT of his own. Eventually Jericho runs off the ropes and Jarrett swings for a clothesline but Jericho ducks. Jarrett keeps his back to Jericho and Jericho catches Jarrett's head and slams him face down to the mat with a bulldog. Jericho jumps up as Jarrett rolls to his back. Jericho runs to the ropes and jumps to the second. Jericho then goes flying back with a Lionsault. However Jarrett rolls to the opposite side of where Jericho jumped from. Jarrett gets to his feet as Jericho lands on his feet. However Jarrett is behind Jericho. Jarrett quicklly grabs Jericho's head... STROKE!!!! Jarrett makes the cover 1.....2....3!!!! JARRETT WINS! Jarrett laughs and goes to the outside and grabs a chair for something as we fade to the final commercial break.

Final commercial break.
Jeff Jarrett is thrown out of the building:
We come back to RAW and Jarrett has a chair set up right at ringside ready to watch and most likely get involved with the Shawn Michaels and Triple H main event and 5th match so far in the Round Robin Tournament. Jarrett actually has a box of popcorn that he's eating. The crowd is booing Jarrett and he just keeps yelling "SHUT UP I'M WATCHING HERE!" Finally however Paul Heyman's theme hits. Heyman comes walking down the ramp with a group of cops. Heyman holds a microphone on the opposite side of the ring of Jarrett as the cops walk around to Jarrett. Heyman then speaks.
Paul Heyman: Jeff, Shawn did not interfer in your match this time. He didn't even come to the ring during it. So I told him i'd reward him if he listened and I am going to. To give Shawn a fair shot in match number five against Triple H. YOU MUST LEAVE THE BUILDING!
The crowd erupts in cheers as Jarrett screams and proclaims he is staying.
Paul Heyman: Jeff we can either do this the easy way or the hard way. Either you leave yourself or these cops TAKE you out of the building!
The crowd cheers more and Jarrett stands up finally and walks on the side of the stage on the concrete as the cops follow him. Jarrett walks all the way backstage as Shawn Michaels' music hits. Jarrett eventually leaves the building and we see him get in his car and leave the premisis as we get ready to start HBK vs HHH.

Round Robin #1 Contenders Tournament Match #5: Triple H vs Shawn Michaels:
This match was absolutely amazing. Most people don't expect Triple H to give a match of the night performance. But him and Michaels did it tonight. The match started out with some amazing chain wrestling. This wasn't the chain you see today which is mostly rolling around this was old school chain. Exchanges of real holds all worked into a long grouping. This lead to Triple H just slapping the taste out of Michaels when Michaels had an arm wringer locked in. Michaels broke it and came back at Triple H with a slap of his own. And thats when the brawl began. Both men exchanged right hands, forearms, kicks, slaps, elbows, everything possible for pure strikes basiclly. The match went on with Michaels eventually stopping the striking bout with a kick to Triple H's gut. Michaels hit Triple H with a snap suplex and rolled through for a front face lock. Michaels held it on for awhile till Triple H stood to his feet and pulled out a release northern lights. Michaels lands hard and rolls out of the ring holding his back. Triple H takes no time to get out of the ring and go to work on Michaels. The ref gets to the 9 count many times but Triple H simply pulls the "break the count" trick by rolling into the ring and back out. Eventually Triple H throws Michaels into the ring steps and Michaels bounces back holding his shoulder in pain. Triple H continues the beat down on the outside to Michaels before whipping him shoulder first into the turnbuckle post not once BUT TWICE! Finally Triple H rolls Michaels into the ring and attempts to lock in an arm bar shockingly enough. But Michaels refuses to let Triple H straighten the arm and apply pressure. Michaels slowly inches his way to the ropes and grasps at them forcing Triple H to break the hold. This doesn't stop Triple H from continuing the work on Michaels however. With stomps to the shoulder and some Triple H trade marks like the high knee, facebuster on the knee, and various suplexes and slams. Also note that Triple H continued selling his knee in this match. That shows psychology! But back to the match. Triple H finally goes for a Pedigree but Shawn breaks the grip and BACKDROP!!!!! The crowd is going crazy as Triple H gets up and stumbles right into a SWEET CHIN MUSIC!!!! Michaels makes the cover 1......2..... KICK OUT!!!!!!! Michaels can't beleive it. Michaels waits for Triple H to get. Triple H gets to his feet and Michaels goes for another Sweet Chin Music. But Triple H catchs Michaels' foot and spins him. Triple H kicks him in the gut and sets up.... PEDIGREE!!!! Triple H makes the cover 1.....2..... KICK OUT!!!!!! O MY GOD MICHAELS GOT OUT!!!!!!! You can tell how much these guys want the win here. Triple H picks Shawn up and goes for another Pedigree. But Shawn breaks it again and catches Triple H with another backdrop reversal. Triple H gets up and this time Shawn pulls out the flying forearm to the face. Triple H goes down and Shawn lands hard from the fly aswell. However Shawn nips up and quickly climbs to the top rope. Shawn comes flying off with the big flying elbow drop. Cover 1....2..... KICK OUT!!!!! Shawn stands up and goes into the corner. Shawn stomps his foot on the canvas. Triple H stands up and turns around. Shawn goes for it..... But Triple H ducks. Shawn ends up behind Triple H again. Triple H turns around and this time gets caught with a SWEET CHIN MUSIC FROM SHAWN MICHAELS! Shawn makes the cover 1......2.....3!!!!!! IT GETS THE 3-COUNT THIS TIME AND SHAWN WINS! HOLY SHIT!!!!! Shawn celebrates as we slowly fade off the air.

BIG NEWS!: SHAWN MICHAELS APPEARS AT TNA NO SURRENDER!!!!!!:
Shawn Michaels makes appearance on TNA No Surrender Pay Per View
Reported by: PWinsider.com
We here at PWinsider are shocked at what happened tonight at the Total Nonstop Action No Surrend Pay Per View. Tonights main event was heavily promoted as Raven defending his NWA World title against Jeff Jarrett the former champion in a NoDQ match up.
The match went for a good 15 minutes of back and forth action before Jeff Jarrett took a noticable advantage. The crowd was heard booing several times and chanting "NOT AGAIN!" as everyone in the arena was about ready to beleive that Jeff Jarrett was about to win the title again.
Jarrett brought a chair into the ring and had no problem hitting Raven with the Stroke onto the chair. Jarrett made the cover but only got a 2-count. Jarrett in anger picked the chair back up and awaited Raven to stand. Raven got to his feet and Jarrett swung the chair at full velocity but Raven got pushed out of the way. Jarrett did a full 360 spin and ended up with the chair infront of his face. Jarrett was then met with a SWEET CHIN MUSIC FROM SHAWN MICHAELS right to the chair knocking Jarrett down and out! Raven then made the cover on Jarrett for the 3-count. Raven not knowing what to think got out of the ring and Shawn Michaels went to work on Jarrett before grabbing the micrphone. Michaels went onto say that at SummerSlam in about a month if the match happens Jeff Jarrett will die. Michaels then said even if the match did not happen he'd make sure somehow Jarrett never sees the light of day in a wrestling ring again weather it be WWE or TNA.
The fans went crazy for Shawn. However a few diehard TNA fans booed Michaels. Eventually security ran out and took Michaels out of the building as we faded off PPV.
This is obviouslly what Michaels spoke about at the end of HeAt when saying "See you in about 2 hours" to Jarrett. It is an amazing site to see WWE and TNA working together to make this feud the best it can possibly be!

Also we have Muhammad Hassan vs Booker T in an attempt from Hassan to prove himself to get a rematch against the Undertaker at Great American Bash! Plus STEVIE RICHARDS JOINS SMACKDOWN!
Michael Cole: All of this tonight! Plus Eric Bischoff will announce Paul London's special match for Great American Bash! But we now have Kaz Hayashi vs Psychosis to get to!
Kaz Hayashi vs Psychosis:
Decent match here I guess. Kaz Hayashi is an amazing worker but Psychosis really has not impressed me the least bit since his debut in the WWE. The match begins with what seems to be an attempt at chain wrestling with Hayashi with a clear advantage. Eventually they do the whole spot where Hayashi is holding Psychosis down then jumps up onto Psychosis's feet. Psychosis pushes up and Hayashi goes to his feet and Psychosis is suppoed to jump, twist and land in a wheel barrell. But Psychosis doesn't get in the wheel barrell and a noticeably pissed off Hayashi gives Psychosis a German suplex that sends Psychosis rolling off the top of his head. Hayashi takes a long advantage after this just bassiclly beating Psychosis with whatever he wants. Lots of stiff kicks from Hayashi mostly. One or two looking to seemingly knock Psychosis out. Eventually Psychosis takes the advantage after a knee to Hayashi's gut. Psychosis works Hayashi over for about a minute before slamming him infront of the corner and going for the Atomic Flying Legdrop. Psychosis flies but Hayashi moves. Psychosis lands hard on his tail bone and the crowd cheers. Hayashi picks Psychosis up and looks at him with a look of "You mother fucker you're gonna die now!". Hayashi hooks Psychosis and lifts him..... O MY GOD JESUS CHRIST!!!! SICKEST SPIKE PILEDRIVER EVER!!!!! Psychosis looks dead and Hayashi makes the cover 1.....2......3!!!!!!! Hayashi leaves as we see the ref throw up the X sign and medics run to the aid of Psychosis. We then fade to a hype video for STEVIE RICHARDS!

MNM(Johnny Nitro and Joey Mercury) w/Melina vs Paul London and Rey Mysterio:
Awesome match here. We begin with London and Mercury doing some nice chain wrestling that quicklly goes into some cruiserweight style spots. London eventually gets the advantage during one of the spots by hitting Mercury with a Drop-Sault. Mercury goes rolling backwards and tags in Nitro. Nitro waists little time running at London but London leaps over Nitro and Nitro runs right into a right hand from Rey on the apron. London then locks Nitro in an arm ringer and makes the tag into Rey. Rey jumps over the top landing with an ax handle over the arm of Nitro. Nitro holds his arm in pain and Rey takes the advantage. After about a minute Rey goes for a hurricanrana but Nitro powerbombs Rey out of it. Nitro takes a short advantage before tagging in Mercury who goes straight at Rey taking his advantage. This continues for awhile with Nitro and Mercury tagging back and forth and Rey getting beaten down. Eventually however Rey gets the tag to London. London quickly runs in and goes for Mercury and Nitro but gets taken down just as quickly. Mercury and Nitro continue a slight advantage on London and eventually call for the Snapshot. But London fights out of it and makes the tag to Rey. At the same time Mercury makes the official tag into Nitro. Rey runs in and hits Nitro with a clothesline. Mercury gets up and Rey hits him with a clothesline. Rey continues hitting each with a series of moves such as dropkicks, back elbows, even a springboard moonsault onto both. Eventually Rey backdrops Mercury and he rolls onto the apron. Nitro runs at Rey and gets caught with the drop toe hold over the ropes. Mercury however makes a blind tag making him the legal man but no one notices. Rey runs and hits the 6-1-9 on Nitro. Nitro slowly gets up and Rey springboards.... WEST COAST POP! Rey catches the West Coast Pop in about the same way he did to Psychosis. Rey then tags in London. London goes to the top and Rey begins celebrating. London flies off with the London Calling SSP straight to the middle of the ring. London lands it but the ref doesn't count. Mercury quicklly gets in the ring and picks London up. Mercury picks him up in an Alabama Slam.... BUT MERCURY SITS OUT JESUS CHRIST! London crunches brutally with the Kryptonite Krunch which is put over by Michael Cole as the Stars of Mercury. Mercury makes the cover and the ref counts 1......2......3!!!!! Before Rey even notices MNM get the quick win. MNM walk to the back celebrating as Rey and London begin to argue. The arguement continue untils Rey slaps London. London then comes back with a slap to Rey. The two begin to brawl when Eric Bischoff appears on the tron.

Michael Cole: WHAT A MATCH JUST MADE FOR THE GREAT AMERICAN BASH!
Tazz: I agree Cole! London and Mysterio are two of our best Cruiserweights and seeing them go one on one will be amazing!
Michael Cole: No doubt about that! But we have to get to Juventud Guerrera vs Jimmy Yang right now.
Jimmy Yang vs Juventud Guerrera:
Very good match here. Juvi isn't the best but he showed he is ALOT better than Psychosis. The match began with some nice chain wrestling with the advantage going to Yang. Yang ends up with Juvi in a nice side headlock but Juvi pushes Yang off. Yang hits the ropes on the other side but Juvi slides out of the ring. Yang runs and slides out aswell and chases Juvi. Juvi slides in and gets to his feet as Yang slides in. As Yang gets into the ring Juvi pulls out a basement dropkick to Yang's face. Juvi proceeded to take a slight advantage after this but was short lived as Yang cut him off with a quick kick to the gut followed by a suplex. Yang had a fairly long advantage after this surprisingly as faces usually don't have a huge advantage. Yang hits a fair amount of stuff on Juvi. Including some variations of the slam, few suplex variations, and a regular Tiger Driver(Double underhook powerbomb). Nothing is getting Yang the win and Juvi keeps trying to use underhanded moves to cut Yang off. But Yang is outsmarting him. Juvi goes for an eye poke... seriouslly and Yang catches Juvi's hand and yells "WHAT THE HELL?!" then kicks Juvi in the gut and picks Juvi up. Yang has him in a DVD like position but rolls forward hitting Juvi with a steam roller. Juvi lands infront of the corner and Yang keeps rolling to his feet however..... Yang springs up to the top...... going for the Yang-Time...... BUT Yang gets smacked in the face with a rake from Super Crazy who comes from the crowd. Yang falls crotched onto the top and Juvi goes to the top so he's face to face with Yang sitting their. Juvi then picks Yang up so Yang is standing on the top but Juvi is still sitting on the second. Juvi pulls Yang into a slam position....... JUVI-DRIVER OFF THE SECOND ROPE TO YANG! JESUS CHRIST! Juvi makes the cover 1.....2.....3!!!! JUVI WINS! Super Crazy gets in the ring and he begins to beat down on Yang with Juvi. But Jamie Noble comes running to the ring with a chair and Juvi and Crazy back off and leave the ring. We then fade to the backstage area where WGTTv2 are standing beside Josh Mathews.

Danielson and Haas make their feelings known to MNM:
We go backstage zoomed in on the WWE Tag Titles around Bryan Danielson and Charlie Haas's shoulders. We then zoom out to see Danielson and Haas. It then continues to zoom out to see them standing beside Josh Mathews who begins to speak.
Josh Mathews: Bryan, Charlie, do you have anything to say about MNM and there win earlier tonight?
Charlie Haas: Josh I don't talk much. You know that the rest of the world knows that. So i'm going to make this short and sweet. I couldn't care less that MNM won! I agreed that if they did i'd put these titles on the line with Bryan here. Because I am confident that me and Bryan truly are the better wrestlers. So they can bring it on but we will win! Bryan you wanna contribute anything?
Bryan Danielson: You gotta understand that I came here to show the world that I am an amazing wrestler! I came here to prove myself to these loyal fans. I've done it in Ring of Honor, Japan and England. But now I do it on a grander stage and I will sure as hell not let MNM take that chance away from me. My first night here I won these tag titles with a wrestler that is just as good as me. And I am damn proud of it! I am confident we are the better of the two teams and at The Great American Bash. We will prove that!
Bryan Danielson hands the microphone back to Josh as Haas and Danielson walk away and we fade to commercial.

Michael Cole: Welcome back to Smackdown folks. What a match with such an evil ending their between The Juice and Jimmy Yang.
Tazz: I know what you mean Cole. But Muhammad Hassan is out here and ready for his match with Booker T!
Muhammad Hassan vs Booker T:
Not the most amazing wrestling match ever but Hassan played up to the crowd extremelly well which helped. It starts off with a lock up and Hassan quicklly cuts Booker off with a cheap knee to the gut as they lock up. Hassan takes the advantage for most of it using more of a striking/brawling technique as opposed to the technical/speedy style we've been seeing lately. Hassan beats Booker down with lots of punches, forearms to the head and back, some elbows, and a few other nice brawling moves like stomps and flat footed kicks. Hassan busts out the odd slam and suplex here and their but is mostly dominating with the strikes. Hassan irish whips Booker and Hassan goes for a backdrop. But Booker sunset flips Hassan but Hassan rolls throw and rakes Booker's eyes. Hassan takes this oppurtunity to pull out an elbow drop and legdrop before scaling to the top. Hassan screams and goes flying off with a flying legdrop. Booker rolls out of the way however and Hassan lands hard on his tail bone. Hassan holds his lower back and Booker gets up and kicks Hassan right in the back. Hassan slowly stands up bent over in pain and Booker goes for the Scissor Kick but Hassan moves and hooks Booker for The WMD(Hassan's STO). But Booker elbows Hassan off and kicks Hassan in the gut and goes for another Scissor Kick but this time Hassan looks up and grabs Bookers leg then pulls him into another WMD..... Hassan drops and hits it! Hassan makes the cover 1......2.....3!!!!!! The crowd boo's as Daivari gets in the ring and holds Hassan's arm up. Hassan then looks down at Booker. Hassan lifts his hands in the air seemingly praying. Hassan then locks Booker in the Camel Clutch as the bells begin to toll and the lights go out signaling the entrance of the Undertaker.......

The Undertaker beats down Hassan:
The Undertaker finally comes out from the curtain as smoke fills the arean and a purple spot light dawns over Taker. Taker slowly begins to walk down the entrance isle. We never see Takers face as his hat covers and he finally gets to the steps and lifts his arms. The lights go on and Hassan lets go of the Camel Clutch and pushes Booker out of the ring. Taker gets into the ring and Hassan starts yelling "You're nothing dead man! NOTHING!". Taker takes of his trench coat and hangs it over the top rope. The crowd is cheering as Taker removes his had and puts it down underneath the corner. Taker looks up and turns his head straight to Daivari. Daivari gets a look of fear in his eyes but Hassan commands Daivari to go at Taker. Daivari runs at Taker but gets picked up and thrown over the top rope. Taker looks at Hassan and Hassan holds his arms in the air and exclaims "You can't do anything my god will protect me!". Hassan seemingly sacrifices himself as he commands Taker to do his worst. Taker grabs Hassan by the throat and picks him up high in the air. Taker then slams Hassan down onto his back with a Chokeslam. Taker then stands in the ring dominant as his theme plays and we fade to our final commercials of the night.

Michael Cole: WOW! The Undertaker just made a stunning appearance taking Hassan down!

Michael Cole: That will be a huge announcement Tazz but now we have to get to Christian vs Chris Benoit in our main event!
Christian vs Chris Benoit:
Amazing match! I am extremelly happy with this being the main event. It was an awesome match that could have been Pay Per View caliber! It began with some extremelly nice world class chain wrestling. Both men showed off why they're considered two of the best wrestlers to come out of Canada since The Hart Family. The match for the most part was a large series of chain wrestling. Where all of the submission trading they did lead into big moves. Such as Christian busting out a fallout reverse DDT on Benoit from a hammerlock but holding onto the version of a facelock from their. This gave Benoit the ability to bridge up and catch Christian with a bridging nothern lights which only got a 2-count when Christian got his shoulder up. Benoit took this oppurtunity to roll over and go for an arm bar on Christian. This brings us back to chain which continues like this with big moves hit inbetween holds for most of this match. Finally Christian has Benoit in a headlock but Benoit lifts Christian and drops him in a back suplex. We are all kind of expecting the chain to end now but Benoit holds on and rolls over with Christian right into the rolling German suplexes. Benoit catches 4 of them on Christian but decides to give Christian a sick Tiger Suplex for the 5th. Christian lands crunched on his head and Benoit bridges as the ref counts 1......2...... CHRISTIAN GETS HIS SHOULDER UP! Benoit holds and Christian getting his shoulder up forces them into a roll back up to there feet. Benoit quicklly changes back to the German suplex hook. Benoit throws Christian in a release German suplex and Christian lands on his shoulders/neck area and bounces staying flat on his back now. Benoit does the "ITS OVER!" taunt then rubs his thumb across his neck to signify the end. Benoit goes to the top and stands. He holds his arms in the air then jumps half way across the ring hitting Christian with the Flying Headbutt!!!!!!! Christian twitches holding his chest as Benoit holds his face and ribs taking alot out of himself in the process. Benoit crawls onto Christian and makes the cover 1.......2....... FOOT ON THE ROPES! Christian gets his foot on the ropes and Benoit in anger picks Christian up and hooks for another Tiger Suplex. However Christian fights it and spins himself and goes to irish whip Benoit. But Benoit ducks his head and spins under Christian's arm and hooks over..... Benoit pulls Christian down and.... BENOIT LOCKS IN THE CROSSFACE!!!!!! Christian is screaming as Benoit tugs back on Christian's neck. Christian slowly inches his way towards the ropes and as they're right their Benoit rolls backwards forcing Christian to roll right into the middle of the ring. The ref is asking Christian if he is giving up. Christian refuses. Christian eventually lfits his hand almost ready to tap but instead Christian grabs the ref by his shirt collar and pulls the ref forward. The ref stumbles over Christian and lands on Benoit forcing Benoit to break the hold. Benoit and the ref get up and Benoit begins to argue with the ref. Christian comes walking up from behind and hooks Benoit for the Unprettier.... CHRISTIAN HITS IT!!!!! Christian makes the cover 1......2..... KICK OUT! The crowd goes crazy as Benoit kicks out. Christian picks Benoit up and irish whips him purposelly into the ref. The ref goes down and Christian goes to the outside and grabs a chair. Christian gets in the ring as Benoit gets up. Benoit turns around and gets clocked right in the face with the chair by Christian. Benoit goes down to his back and Christian lays the chair down and goes for an Unprettier onto the chair to Benoit. But BATISTA COMES RUNNING OUT! Batista gets in the ring and he punchs Christian. Christian breaks the Unprettier and Benoit falls to his side in pain. Batista and Christian begin to brawl until Christian gets caught in a spinebuster. Batista then picks Christian back up and sets him up for the Batista Bomb. At this point the ref is regaining his composure and sees everything that is going on. Batista lifts Christian for the Batista Bomb. Batista swings down..... BATISTA BOMB!!!!!! HOLY SHIT!!!!!! Batista gets up just as the bell ring and Christian is announce the winner by Disqualification. Benoit gets up and pushes Batista. Batista and Benoit begin to brawl until Benoit rolls out of the ring in anger and leaves. Christian is now up and him and Batista begin to brawl but Batista has the obvious advantage and thats when.....

Stevie looks around and the crowd is getting ready to either boo or cheer Stevie. Stevie isn't doing anything. Eric Bischoff comes walking out with a microphone in hand. Bischoff then begins to speak.
Eric Bischoff: DAMNIT RICHARDS! DO WHAT I BROUGHT YOU HERE FOR! Do the right thing damnit! DO IT!!!!!!
Stevie gets the chair ready to hit Batista as Christian yells "DO IT!" in the background. Stevie drops the chair to his side however and just looks blank. Bischoff speaks again.
Eric Bischoff: You peice of shit! Do it now! Do what I am paying you for! Do what I stole you from RAW for you son of a bitch!
Stevie gets the chair ready again to hit Batista. Stevie gets close to doing it but the crowd boos. Stevie puts the chair back to his side and just can't do it. Christian yells "DAMNIT I'LL DO IT!" Christian grabs the chair from Stevie and goes to smack Batista in the face with it as Batista stands ready for it. But Stevie grabs Christian by the shoulder. Stevie spins Christian around and STEVIE KICK RIGHT TO THE CHAIR AND CHRISTIANS FACE!!!!!! HOLY SHIT!!!!!!! The crowd is going crazy in cheers as Eric Bischoff is going crazy in anger.

JR: Not to mention General Manager Christopher Nowinski will make a big announcement about our WWE Title at Summerslam! But now lets get to Spike Dudley vs Tajiri!
Spike Dudley vs Tajiri:
Decent match between the two former ECW workers. The crowd seemed to expect alittle more out of them and we got faint but heard "This match sucks" chants. However many loved it. It began with alittle bit of chain wrestling that lead into basic spots. Eventually Tajiri got a few kicks to the back of Spike Dudley in. Spike slowly stood as Tajiri kicked at his chest. Spike caught one of the kicks finally and picked up his knee and knee'd Tajiri in the groin quick enough that it went undetected by the referee. Spike took an advantage hitting Tajiri with a few of his more trademark moves such as the top rope doublestomp, run on the chest, and other odd little Spike Dudley created moves. Eventually Spike went for the big Dudley Dog which shockinglly was put over as the Acid Drop just like old ECW days. As the 180 for the Acid Drop began Tajiri pushed Spike by the lower back up and forward. Spike flew off Tajiri and landed on his feet. Spike spins around and gets caught with mist to the eyes. Spike stumbles and drops to one knee and gets caught with a kick right to the head from Tajiri. Tajiri goes for the cover but Joel Gertner distracts the referee as Sign Guy Dudley gets into the ring. Sign Guy breaks a sign reading "Spike>Tajiri" over the back of Tajiri's head. Tajiri rolls off Spike and Sign Guy grabs the broken sign and gets out of the ring. Spike rolls and puts one arm over the chest of Tajiri and the ref counts the 3 count giving Spike the win. Spike celebrates with Gertner and Sign Guy as we cut backstage where we see Maria standing alongside New Blood Extreme.

New Blood Extreme cut a promo against Hurricane and Rosey:
We go backstage and see Johnny Jeter and Matt Capotelli standing beside Maria decked out in their new entrance attire of red leather vests with "NBE" written on the back in black and matching pairs of red sunglasses. They also have a new attire of half in half black and red leather with "New Blood" written on the red side in black and "EXTREME" written on the black side in red. Maria eventually begins to ask them a question.
Maria: Would you guys like to uhhhhhh ummmm.....
Matt Capotelli: You know what you dumb bimbo. Get the hell out of here and let us cut this promo ourselves. Someone with an IQ as low as yours doesn't deserve to ask the best wrestlers in the world questions!
Capotelli grabs the microphone from Maria and pushes her out of camera view. The camera turns to her as we see her run off crying. Capotelli laughs then begins to speak again.
Matt Capotelli: Well... well.... well! Hurricane and Rosey. It seems tonight we're booked in some singles matches. I'll let Johnny talk about his match with Rosey in a second but first i'd like to talk alittle about mine. Hurricane tonight I'm going to go one on one with you. Tonight Hurricane in our one on one encounter. I will show you how great I truly am. Remember back in the age of WCW? You were considered New Blood! But Hurricane all you are now is a washed up hasbeen. What have you done since coming to WWE? What have you done since becoming the Hurricane? NOTHING! I'll admit I had respect for you when you were Shane Helms. I had a hell of alot of respect for you. You had the Verta-Breaker and you didn't take shit from no one man! But you come to WWE flaunt a stupid green lantern tattoo and turn into a superhero? You drop the Verta-Breaker and you adopted a step off the knee kick as your finish? Now i'll admit that kick hurts.... but come on man. Its The Great Muta's finisher. He's just as old as Ric Flair! Taking an old mans finisher makes you seem like an even older man Hurricane. And tonight I will KILL THE ELDERLY! Tonight I will kill you! The Capotelli Driver will kill you! But before I go nuts Johnny?
Johnny Jeter: Rosey! You fat tub of shit. Listen up man. 3-Minute Warning! Remember that? Remember you and Jamal? You remember how Jamal left cause he didn't want to go through with that dumb S.H.I.T gimmick? Man I have respect for Jamal for that. But you on the other hand Rosey. I have NO respect for you! For two years you came out here and called yourself the Super Hero In Training. Or the S.H.I.T.... or for you idiots at home the SHIT! Well Rosey atleast the WWE was honest. You are shit. But man you're a veteran! Debuting in 2000 during the Rock vs British Bulldog Dog Shit match. Priceless stuff. Ok maybe that insult was alittle weak. But you arn't even worth my time to make fun of you for being shit. Rosey tonight I will beat you... i'm not sure how as I don't think someone thats actually a normal size can lift something as fat as you! But I will beat you mark my words!
Matt Capotelli: And if you don't beleive that.... you better learn to LOVE IT! Because we're the NEW BLOOD......
Johnny Jeter: EXTREEEEEEEEEEMMMMMMEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!

JR: I know what you mean King. But we now have to get to Rosey vs Jeter!
Johnny Jeter w/Matt Capotelli vs Rosey w/The Hurricane:
Alright match here. Extremelly good considering the mismatched styles. Jeter attempted to out wrestle Rosey with chain at the beginning but it just didn't work as Rosey is much to big. Rosey bassiclly takes the advantage right from a hammerlock by clotheslining the hell out of Jeter as Jeter can't lock it in on Rosey. Rosey works over Jeter with lots of kinda of kill moves. Samoan drop, falldown slam, legdrops, etc. Rosey's advantage lasts with no fault until Capotelli tries to get in the ring on one side and Rosey gets distracted. But Hurricane gets in the ring on the otherside. Hurricane runs and leaps overtop of Rosey and on his way down dropkicks Capotelli and Capotelli goes flying off the apron to the ground below. Hurricane got out of the ring and began to punch at Capotelli but the ref threw them both out and sent them to the back. By this point Jeter had hit Rosey with a dropkick right to the back of the head. Rosey falls onto the second rope and Jeter uses it to choke Rosey until the ref counts to 4 and Jeter breaks. Jeter grabs Rosey and goes to pick him up for whatever move but can't lift Rosey. Jeter bitches and ends up running at Rosey but gets caught with a clothesline. Jeter lands harsh on his shoulders/neck area and bounces right near a corner. Rosey then scales to the second rope and goes for the big moonsault but Jeter rolls and Rosey lands hard on his gut. Rosey slowly stands as Jeter runs at him. Jeter jumps but Rosey catches him in a spinning sidewalk slam. Jeter lands right infront of the corner again. Rosey then decides to go to the second rope and do his version of the Split-Legged Moonsault. Rosey goes backwards and..... OH MY GOD!!!! JETER DIDN'T MOVE AND HE JUST GOT CRUSHED! Rosey lands on Jeter and we literally lose any sight of him from the waist up. Rosey stays on for the cover and the ref counts 1......2.....3!!!!!! Rosey wins! Rosey then walks to the back as Jeter is taken to the back by security. We go up to Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler before getting the Chris Masters' Open Challenge.
Winner: Rosey

Chris Masters vs ???:
Masters came out and asked who would be taking up his Challenge this week. Masters said he thinks he has proven himself by defeating the biggest man in the WWE. However Masters wanted to prove himself more by defeating one more star. Masters waited and out came.... SHELTON BENJAMIN! The match was decent. Chris Masters is nothing special i'll tell you that much. Shelton brought this up slightly with his attempted chain work and awesome flying. Benajmin managed to catch Masters with the flying clothesline, some suplexes, AND even his big Exploder Powerslam all in. But somehow only got 2 counts on them all and Masters turned it around with an eye rake during the second attempt at the Exploder Powerslam. Masters then went to work on Shelton with some really stiff forearms and slams. Eventually Masters locks in the Masterlock and tugs on it hard. Benjamin screams and tries to wiggle out but he just can't do it. Benjamin drops to both knees and Masters mounts him as we've seen him do many times before. Benjamin looks out of it and the ref lifts the arm of Benjamin. Its about to drop but NO! Benjamin keeps it up and the crowd cheers. Benjamin gets up and goes to break the hold but Masters breaks it himself and spins Benjamin into the Masters Plex(Bridging Northern Lights Suplex). Masters rolls out of the bridge still holding Benjamin and goes through to the back of Benjamin and locks in another Masterlock. Benjamin screams but this time inches towards the ropes while hooked in it. Benjamin could get his feet on the ropes but instead Benjamin jumps up and over the top rope. Benjamin goes falling sitting onto the apron as Masters gets guillotined over the top rope. Masters bounces back and staggers with his back towards Benjamin. Benjamin quicklly gets up and springboards..... FLYING BULLDOG FROM THE SPRINGBOARD! Benjamin makes the cover 1......2.....3!!!!!!! Benjamin has become the second man to break the Masterlock wow! Benjamin walks to the back as Masters gets up and grabs referee Jack Doan in anger. Masters quicklly hooks Doan and throws him backwards with a Release Masters Plex(Release Northern Lights Suplex). Referee Doan lands hard and Masters gets out of the ring and walks to the back as we fade to commercial.

Edge: Matt.... what the hell are you doing? You were fired long before WrestleMania because we were scared this shit would happen. Matt i'm better than you! I'm better than you in the ring and i'm better than you in the sack. Thats why i'm the one who stayed here and i'm the one with Lita. We were best friends Matt. We could have been best friends still. You just couldn't handle the fact that I am better than you in every aspect of life! But Matt. I'm sorry i'm not going to fight you! I've already proven myself by being the one still in the WWE and being the one with Lita! YOU'RE NOTHING BUT A PEICE OF SHIT IN THE.....
Lita: Edge calm down. Let me talk for a second. Matt.... I'm sorry but I don't love you anymore. I can't control that. I love Edge. You don't have to be coming out here ruining out lives just because you got fired. You would have never have gotten fired if it wasn't for us being afraid you'd pull this in the first place. I'm sorry Matt but I don't love you.... I love Edge and I can't change that.
Edge: You hear that Matt? She loves me! Not you! I'm the one in the WWE! I have this briefcase stating I can have a title match whenever the hell I want! You're nothing Matt! NOTHING! I suggest you FUCK RIGHT THE HELL OFF!!!!!!!!!
The feed is cut out after that and we go to the ring for Capotelli vs The Hurricane.

Matt Capotelli vs The Hurricane:
This match was AMAZING! I was extremelly shocked as Capotelli showed he wasn't just some Tough Enough kid anymore. He truly is the next generation. Note that Rosey and Jeter did not accompany their respective partners to the ring for this one. The match began with some nice chain wrestling which was surprisinglly dominated by Capotelli. Capotelli took an early advantage when he spun Hurricane from a hammerlock straight into a snap suplex. Capotelli took control by working over the head/neck area of Hurricane with some diffrent DDT, suplex, neckbreaker, brainbuster, and backbreaker but to the neck varitations. Capotelli after all this finally calls out for the Capotelli Driver but Hurricane reverses and goes for the O MY HERE IT COMES!!!! HURRICANE'S GONNA ATTEMPT THE VERTABREAKER...... ooooooo BOOOOOO!!!! Capotelli flips over to his feet and continues his advantage. Capotelli goes to irish whip Hurricane but Hurricane reverses and irish whips Capotelli. Capotelli runs back and gets caught with a dropkick. Hurricane lands on his feet and Capotelli rolls from the bump to his feet. Hurricane hits a clothesline, a suplex, The Eye of the Hurricane and then awaits Capotelli getting to one knee. Around this point we see Johnny Jeter in the crowd with a chair. Hurricane runs at Capotelli as he's up now as Jeter hops over the rail. Hurricane goes for the Shining Wizard but Capotelli hooks around Hurricane's legs as soon as Hurricane pushes off Capotelli's knee. Capotelli falls back pulling Hurricane down and at the same time Jeter swings the chair towards the ropes. Hurricane lands guilotined on the second rope and at the exact same time with the chair right in the top of his head. It happens so quicklly that the referee doesn't notice. Hurricane ends up laying on the ground motionless and Capotelli picks Hurricane up. Capotelli calls for the Capotelli Driver. He hooks Hurricane with the double underhook then.... PILEDRIVER! THE CAPOTELLI DRIVER IS A GOD DAMN DOUBLE UNDERHOOK PILEDRIVER JESUS CHRIST! Capotelli makes the cover 1......2......3!!!!!! The crowd boo's as Jeter gets in the ring and sets up the chair unfolded. Capotelli and Jeter go for the New Blood Bomb over the seated area of the chair but Rosey comes from behind and elbows Jeter in the back of the head and Jeter drops Hurricane. Hurricane rolls out of the way and Rosey shockingly powerbombs Capotelli! Rosey then stands in the ring oddlly dominant as we fade to commercial.
Winner: Matt Capotelli

Highlight Reel|Host: Chris Jericho|Guest: Shawn Michaels:
We come back to RAW and go directly to the ring for the Highlight Reel! Jericho is already in the ring and he does not hesitate to begin to speak.
Chris Jericho: Welcome everybody to Chris Jericho's.... HIGHLIGHT REEL!!!!!!! Last week we had the only man to work for both Total Nonstop Action Wrestling and World Wrestling Entertainment at the sametime and currentlly Jeff Jarrett! Jarrett explained his hatred for Shawn Michaels and that he was here for one reason. And that reason is to take Shawn Michaels down. But this week I have the HeartBreak Kid SHAWN MICHAELS! Right here live in the Highlight Reel to sort of rebutle against what was said by Jeff Jarrett. So lets get this show started!!!
Shawn Michael's theme hits and he comes through the curtain doing his little dance as the crowd cheers loudly. Michaels slowly walks down the stage and eventually gets into the ring. Michael's plays up to the crowd for abit and then grabs a microphone and sits down beside Jericho. Jericho then begins to ask the first question.
Chris Jericho: Well Shawn. First things first what do you have to say about Jeff Jarrett?
Shawn Michaels: Personally Chris. I've always thought that two bit low life bastard was scum! The fact he has decided to work for the promotion rivalling against his own simply for money and to hurt me because he knows he's never beat me just proves that!
Chris Jericho: Makes sense. What do you have to say about the things he said last week?
Shawn Michaels: I truly couldn't care less. However I do beleive if his only reason for being here is to gain exposure for TNA then well to steal a quote from us when we changed to WWE. Jarrett should get the F out! The fact he wants to use me in this battle to gain ratings for TNA is even worse. I don't work for TNA I work for the WWE and I don't plan on making TNA a big company so Jarrett can get anymore money that he doesn't deserve. Which is why once I actually get a match with Jarrett I will beat him!
Chris Jericho: Well with that said. Do you have any plans to try and get a match with Jarrett?
Shawn Michaels: As it stands right now. I'm challenging Jarrett. I'm challenging him to a match at Summerslam! I want that bastard! But I want him at a Pay-Per-View! Especially at Summerslam the second biggest event of the year right behind WrestleMania. I will make sure what I do to Jeff is memorable......
Suddenlly from behind comes Jeff Jarrett with a chair shot to the back of HBK's head. Shawn falls straight to the ground and Jericho tries to help but Jarrett cracks the chair over Jericho's head aswell. Jericho rolls out of the ring and Jarrett picks HBK up for the Stroke. But John Cena comes running down to the ring and Jarrett lets go of Michaels and gets out of the ring fast as we fade to commercial.

WWE Title Match: John Cena© vs Jeff Jarrett:
Just as last week this wasn't the most amazing wrestling match ever. But it was extremelly entertaining. This week it began with some chain wrestling that ended quicklly when Jarrett pokes Cena's eye while in a headlock. Jarrett took the quick advantage and beat down Cena for the better part of this match. Some suplexes, neckbreakers, ddts, slams, clotheslines, elbows, legdrops, a few rest holds thrown in. Jarrett pulled out pretty much everything but everytime he went for the pinfall nothing really seemed to work. Eventually Jarrett went for the Stroke but Cena spun threw. Cena picks Jarrett up..... F-U!!!!!!! CENA HITS IT!!!!! Cena makes the cover..... but Jarrett's foot is under the bottom rope so the ref doesn't count. Cena gets up and lifts Jarrett and goes for a second F-U but Jarrett starts to kick around and Cena stumbles. Jarrett ends up being put down on the apron and he grabs Cena's head and guilotines him over the top. Cena stumbles and has his back towards Jarrett as Jarrett slides into the ring and purposelly pushes Cena right into the referee. The ref goes down and Cena gets up dazed. Jarrett quicklly grabs Cena and hits a Stroke. Jarrett then goes outside of the ring and grabs a chair. Jarrett sets it up on the ground and picks Cena up for another Stroke. Jarrett this time however does hit it again but RIGHT ONTO THE CHAIR! Cena's face bounces off and Jarrett makes the cover as he moves the chair out of the ref's view. The ref takes a long time to come over to make the count but he eventually does 1......2....... CENA KICKS OUT O MY GOD!!!!! Jarrett gets up and stomps on the ref's back. The ref doesn't really notice as he's still half out. This gives Jarrett time to go for another Stroke onto the chair. But Cena spins out and picks Jarrett up for an F-U......F-U ONTO THE CHAIR!!!!!! Cena begins to walk around stumbling and suddenlly he walks right into a SLEDGEHAMMER SHOT! From Triple H! Cena goes down and Triple H drags Jarrett onto Cena. Triple H gets out of the ring and pulls the chair and sledgehammer out with him. The ref again slowly but eventually gets over to make the count 1......2....... CENA KICKS OUT!!!!!! The ref has gained alittle more composure now and is sitting up. Triple H get in the ring and quicklly grabs Cena. Triple H kicks Cena right in the gut and then hits him with a Pedigree! Cena is lying motionless as the ref calls for the DQ. Triple H helps Jarrett up and they begin to beat down on Cena. Shawn Michaels however comes running from the back holding his head from the chair shot. Michaels starts to brawl with Triple H and Jarrett and suddenlly Christopher Nowinski comes up on the screen.
Winner and still WWE Champion: John Cena

Christopher Nowinski makes his announcement about the title:
Nowinski comes up on the screen and the brawl continues. Nowinski then yells.
Christopher Nowinski: STOP ALL OF YOU IDIOTS! STOP AND LISTEN TO YOUR GOD DAMN GENERAL MANAGER!!!!
Triple H, Jarrett, Michaels and Cena stop brawling and Nowinski continues.
Christopher Nowinski: I told you all I had an announcement for tonight regarding the WWE Title at Summerslam. Well I guess now is as good a time than ever to tell you what it is. Starting next week Triple H, Shawn Michaels, and Jeff Jarrett. You will all be joined by Chris Jericho and Shelton Benjamin in a five man two show Round Robin Tournament to determine who will face John Cena for the WWE Title at Summerslam. This means that Michaels and Jarrett if neither of you win you can have your match at Summerslam. It also means that if neither Jericho or Benjamin win they're lucky as I have a match lined up for them just incase. But for Triple H... if you want to be on Summerslam you better win. Because if you don't i'm not putting you on the show! UNDERSTAND! I think all five of the people I just mentioned should begin some hard work outs this week because this tournament will not be a peice of cake!
Christopher Nowinski fades off the screen and we fade to the final commercial break of the night.

The Dudley Boys come out to the ring and Bubba grabs the microphone. Bubba gets ready to speak but before even getting a word in is cut off by Co-GM Paul Heyman's music. Heyman steps out from the curtain with a microphone and he begins to speak.
Paul Heyman: Well Dudley Boys, it seems you've turned on me! I the man who made you what you are today. If it was not for ECW you would have never been called to the WWE and you would have never been as big a team as you are. But you see I still have loyal ECW talent. The funny thing is they're the people who would have made it without ECW. I could go on and on because i'm Paul Heyman and I am that good with this kind of thing. But i'll save that for a later time. I'd like to give you one person who was drafted here and one person who I signed here. I'd like to give you the team off ROB VAN DAM AND SABU!!!!!!!

This match was everything you'd have expected it to be after finding out the mystery opponents were Rob Van Dam and Sabu. Complete ECW right here. It started out with that little bit of chain wrestling that came to be expected from all ECW matches. But quicklly became a hardcore bout as it went from a regular tag team match to a tornado tag within seconds as Sabu grabbed a chair and went to work on both Dudleys with it. Sabu caught Bubba with a chairshot that sent up down to the canvas. He then caught D-Von with one that sent D-Von rolling out of the ring to brawl with RVD. Sabu pulled out his little springboard grounded leg lariat with the chair on Bubba. Bubba and Sabu just brawled in the ring for the longest time using chairs, staple guns, singapore canes, brooms, EVERYTHING! While RVD and D-Von battled on the outside using mostly chairs and whatever they could find on the outside. Eventually D-Von gave RVD a DDT onto a hotdog on the floor as the crowd laughed. "E-C-DUB! E-C-DUB!" chants legitamatelly filled the arena at this point as D-Von piledrove RVD through a table on the outside. Sabu went for a Triple Jump Moonsault but Bubba rolled out of the way and Sabu landed on his feet but only to be caught by D-Von.... 3-D BY THE DUDLEYS!!!!!! Bubba makes the cover 1.......2...... kick out! D-von quicklly gets out of the ring and pins RVD as this is Hardcore falls count anywhere. The ref counts 1......2..... KICK OUT!!!!

Sabu and Bubba continue to brawl. Bubba goes for a Bubba Cutter but Sabu pushes Bubba away and picks up the chair quicklly and throws it at Bubba. The chair hits Bubba right in the face and Bubba goes down onto the canvas. Sabu then grabs the chair and climbs to the top.... ARABIAN FACEBUSTER ONTO BUBBA!!!!! Sabu makes the cover 1.....2..... kick out! The crowd boo's as Sabu goes to the outside. Sabu sets up a table near the stage a few feet from the apron on the outside.

RVD cracks the chair over Bubba's back and Sabu rolls off the table and Bubba goes rolling onto it. RVD then gets in the ring and looks out to D-Von who can barely be seen in the crowd now. RVD then springboards and O MY GOD!!!!! SUICIDE SENTON INTO THE CROWD ONTO D-VON!!!!!! The crowd erupts into "Holy Shit!" chants as Sabu sets up the chair near the apron. Sabu runs and steps off the chair then to the apron like the Triple Jump but Sabu then springboard to the top for what seems to be a Quad Jump Moonsault TO THE OUTSIDE!!!! ONTO BUBBA!!!!! THROUGH A TABLE!!!!!! Sabu rolls off Bubba after the landing holding his knee in pain but quicklly rolls back onto Bubba. The ref quicklly makes the count 1......2.....3!!!!!! SABU AND RVD WIN!!!!!

Smackdown is taken over by Christian:
The show opens and as soon as the video for the show plays we cut to the arena were we see Christian standing in the ring in a shiney gold suit.... Almost looks like Teddy Hart with blonde hair freaky. Christian holds a microphone and he points to the entrance way. The camera moves towards it and we see a setup kind of like the old Smackdown Oval Setup. Except it reads the Peep-Show on the back part. Christian then begins to speak as the camera comes back.
Christian: WELCOME EVERYBODY TO CHRISTIAN AND ERIC BISCHOFF'S..... WWE PEEP-SHOW! Folks last week I put my body on the line. This perfect body that I spent years perfecting. Just so I could get the #1 Contendership to Batista's World Title and now I HAVE IT! So tonight you get treated to a show made completely for me to celebrate. You will see 2 Peep-Shows I guarantee it! Tonight and after I beat Batista for that World Title! And you gotta admit I am the best like look at the card I have set up for all of yu for tonight.... Charlie Haas vs Joey Mercury, Rey Mysterio vs Super Crazy, Paul London vs Billy Kidman, Johnny Nitro vs Bryan Danielson! What more could you ask for? Plus I will be conducting a special return of the Peep-Show Interview segment with Batista! Now its not like you fans deserve any of this... you're all just inbred hicks anyways. Like look at this guy in the front row?
Christian gets out of the ring and walks up to the guy and looks at him and laughs. Christian then speaks.
Christian: Is this your girlfriend beside you sir?
Guy: Yes it is.
Christian: Well i'm glad you brought your cousin to the Peep-Show!
Christian gives the thumbs up and gets back in the ring and speaks for the last time.
Christian: But you know what I don't care what you guys are like because tonight is the Peep-Show and you will all LOVE IT!
Christian drops the microphone and walks to the back as the crowd boo's him and we get ready for Haas vs Mercury.

Charlie Haas vs Joey Mercury w/Melina:
Decent match up here. Not as much as was expected. I'm assuming they didn't wanna overshadow any of the uppercard matches. It started out with some decent chain wrestling that lead into some basic tackle spots. Haas actually managed to keep the advantage for most of the match. Which is kind of odd as general psychology is the face gets the beat down. Haas spends alot of the match working over Mercury's legs seeminglly getting ready to set up for a Haas of Pain. Haas locks in some nice leg locks through out the match that Mercury gets a rope break for on all. Haas goes to work with stomps and knees to Mercury's legs. Eventually Mercury's leg got caught and he went for an Enziguri but Haas ducked and Mercury landed on one foot. Mercury turned and raked the eyes of Haas and Haas went down. Mercury went to work on Haas with a few suplexes. Mercury then irish whipped Haas towards one of the corners but Haas jumped to the top and then flew back twisting with the crossbody/axe handle combo type shot. Mercury takes a sick looking headbump after it. Haas goes to work with some clotheslines, elbows, backdrops and suplexes to Mercury. Haas then screams for the Haas of Pain and Melina begins to distract the ref as Haas locks it in. Johnny Nitro comes running to the ring with a chair and Haas gets up. Nitro swings and Haas ducks the first shot. Nitro swings again and Haas ducks again but this time Mercury is up and Mercury gets caught with it. Mercury goes down and Haas kicks Nitro in the gut and throws him over the top with the chair. Haas picks Mercury up and hits him with a Rude Awakening Style Neckbreaker for the 3 count. Nitro got in the ring after and began to beat down Haas with Mercury. However Bryan Danielson came running down to make the save with a chair running MNM off as we fade to commercial.
Winner: Charlie Haas

Tazz: I have no idea I guess we'll have to wait and see but right now we have to get to Rey Mysterio vs Super Crazy!
Super Crazy vs Rey Mysterio:
Amazing match here. These guys truly show off what Lucha Libre should be. It starts out with a nice Lucha Chain Spot that comes to an end when Mysterio catches Crazy with a headscissors that sends Crazy through the middle rope to the floor. Mysterio takes no time to quicklly go to the air as he goes flying over the top with a Corkscrew Suicide Plancha onto Crazy. Crazy however comes back with a cheapshot as Rey picks him up and Crazy busts out an Asai Crazysault onto Rey. The match continues with lots of back and forth wrestling, flipping and overall lucha like action. Eventually Rey ducks a clothesline from Crazy and goes for the spring off the second moonsault. But Crazy ducks out of the way and Rey lands on his feet only to get met with an eye rake frm Crazy. Crazy then picks Rey up in what looks to be an Alabama Slam however Crazy drops to his knee's hitting Rey with a sick behind the back tombstone. Crazy does a little taunt and goes for the 3-Sault Press. He bounces off the bottom rope and hits the first one....off the second rope for the second one and he lands it aswell..... Crazy now goes to the top for the 3rd moonsault and he goes back but Rey rolls out of the way. Crazy lands hard on his stomach. Crazy bounces up to his feet and Rey dropkicks him from behind. Crazy lands guilotined over the second rope and Rey calls for the 6-1-9 as Psychosis comes from the crowd and begins to distract the ref. Rey runs for the 6-1-9 but out of nowhere appears Juventud Guerrera who catches Rey's legs and spins him the other way. Crazy stands as Rey spins the other way but Rey manages to get his legs caught under Crazy's arms. Rey pulls himself with his hands to the middle of the ring with Crazy. Rey pushes himself up so he's sitting on Crazy's back and Rey then flips forward..... CODE REY(Code Red)! Rey holds on for the pin 1......2.......3!!!!! REY WINS! Psychosis and Juvi quicklly get in the ring and begin to beatdown on Rey.....
Winner: Rey Mysterio

The beatdown continues until:
....The Mexicools continue to beat down Rey Mysterio. Eventually Juvi hits Rey with the Juvi Driver and Psychosis scales to the top and comes flying off with the Atomic Legdrop. Psychosis lands with his leg right over Rey's throat and Rey holds his throat in pain as Super Crazy goes to the top and moonsaults and hits the top rope moonsault this time! They then set Rey up and Juventud climbs to the top as the crowd boos. Juvi calls for the 450 Splash but suddenlly the Jung Dragons come running down to the ring. Akio gets in and starts to brawl with Psychosis as Kaz Hayashi gets in and begins to brawl with Super Crazy. Jamie "Jamie-San" Noble comes from the crowd and pushes Juvi off the top. Jamie then gets in the ring and goes to grab Juvi but Juvi quicklly drops and scurry's out of the ring. Psychosis is the next to get the hell out of the ring leaving Super Crazy. Kaz Hayashi hits Crazy with a brainbuster as Yang climbs to the top. Noble picks up Super Crazy and hits the Tiger Driver. Yang gets ready to go for the Yang-Time......

Eric Bischoff makes a match for GAB:
.......Yang goes for the Yang-Time but suddenlly Eric Bischoff appears on the screen and Yang stops. Crazy and Juvi quicklly pull Psychosis out of the ring and Yang gets off the top rope. They all look at Bischoff as he begins to speak.
Eric Bischoff: 2 weeks damnit! 2 weeks i've been General Manager and already I have idiots like you guys messing up my show! Well i'm not gonna let it last. This shit may have flown on RAW and WCW back in the day. But i'm going to take more control from now on. At the Great American Bash we will see both of your teams go 3 on 3 in a 6-man tag match! But this won't be any 6-Man Tag this 6-Man Tag will be FALLS COUNT ANYWHERE! But also starting next week on Smackdown. Leading up to the 6-man tag we will have a series of singles matches to get alittle idea of who will have the advantage going into Great American Bash! Good day.
Eric Bischoff fades off the screen as the Mexicools look angry but the Jung Dragons look happy. We then fade to commercial.

Tazz: WOW! What a match Rey vs Crazy was! But what a match that General Manager Eric Bischoff just made!
Michael Cole: I must admit Tazz. Mr. Bischoff is doing better than I expected just with that one big match made for Great American Bash.
Tazz: But Cole we still have a whole show left to fill up the card for.
Michael Cole: But Great American Bash isn't till July 31st and who knows what will happen in that time.
Tazz: You're right Cole. But lets get to Paul London vs Billy Kidman for the Cruiserweight title. This one should be a rocketbusta!
WWE Cruiserweight Title Match: Paul London© vs Billy Kidman:
Good match here. Kidman really proved he still had it in this one and London proved exactlly why he was chosen to be the champ. It started off with some fast paced but well done and sold chain wrestling. Eventually Kidman had London in a legit arm bar and London was screaming for mercy as he inched himself towards the ropes and finally got them. Kidman took the advantage after this with some big suplexes, ddts and strikes. At one point Kidman hits a version of the Lariat that sends London into a backflip onto his face. Kidman takes London to the apron and holds him their..... B.K. BOMB OFF THE APRON WOW!!!!! Kidman dropped to his knees on the apron as London landed hard on the ground. Kidman then ran off the apron and went for the 7 Year Itch(Apron SSP to the floor). But London rolled out of the way and Kidman lands hard. London then goes to the ring and calls for an Asai but then he says "No, no. I'll do one better!" London gets into the ring and waits for Kidman to get up. Kidman gets to his feet and.... HOLY SHIT!!!!! London pulls out a Springboard 450 to the outside right onto Kidman. Eventually London and Kidman got into the ring and they began to beat on each other pretty badly. Kidman eventually missed a clotheslines and London took his advantage hitting a suplex, a DDT, a backdrop, and a Dropsault which only resulted in a 2-count. London screamed and went to the second rope and called for the flying DDT move he's done on Velocity before. London jumps but Kidman catches him in a B.K. Bomb. Kidman pulls London towards the corner and calls for the Shooting Star Press. Kidman goes to the top and goes flying off with the SSP but London rolls out of the way. Kidman lands hard and London climbs to the top. Everyones expecting the 450 but...... LONDON CALLING SSP! London lands his version of the Shooting Star Press on Kidman and the ref counts 1.....2.....3! London then gets up holding his ribs as we fade to commercial.

Eric Bischoff tells Christian about his first steal:
We go backstage to see Eric Bischoff stands in his office as we fade in from commercial. Suddenlly Paul London walks in sopping the sweat from his head with a towel. London is holding the Cruiserweight belt and he begins to speak.
Paul London: Eric did you see that? I swear I better be on the Great American Bash card. I deserve it just as much as anyone else and after that I think you know I do!
Eric Bischoff: Paul, don't worry. I've thought it through and I have a plan for you at the Great American Bash. But you'll have to wait till next week to find out. I already gave away a big match tonight so you'll have to wait to hear about yours till next week alright?
Paul London: Ok Eric but it better be good!
Suddenlly Christian bursts in the door and looks at London.
Christian: Whoa! Since when do we let 12 year olds hold WWE titles? Get out of here you little twurp this is the Peep Show! And this is Captain Charisma.... and Eric Bischoff's office not a 12 year olds play room!
London gives Christian a dirty look but leaves reluctantly. Christian then looks at Bischoff and begins to speak.
Christian: Man. Did you see that on RAW? Nowinski stole all 3 Dudleys from us and has 2 more. Well I guess Joel Gertner isn't really a Dudley but you get the idea. What are you gonna do man?
Eric Bischoff: Ah Christian. You need not worry. This just means I've been ridded of the no talent hardcore idiots from ECW. Now I can get some real talent. I'll tell you alittle secret Christian. I signed someone to Smackdown from RAW. He's a former ECW wrestler still but he actually has talent unlike the Dudleys. And he will be here next week!
Christian: Well who is it?
Eric Bischoff: STEVIE RICHARDS!
Christian: Stevie Richards?! What the hell is he going to do for us?
Eric Bischoff: You'll see, you'll see.
We then fade to the arena as Johnny Nitro vs Bryan Danielson is starting.

Bryan Danielson vs Johnny Nitro w/Melina:
Amazing match here! This was so close to being MOTN if not for Rey vs Super Crazy. Bryan Danielson really showed why he is in the WWE and Johnny Nitro showed he is more than just a Hollywood punk. The match began with some very nice chain wrestling where surprisingly Nitro held his own against the American Dragon, Bryan Danielson. The match went like this for a good 2 minutes before Nitro took a slight advantage but was quicklly cut off by Danielson with a small package rolled all the way through into a snap suplex. Danielson spent most of the match working over Nitro's arms for his World's Greatest Submission(Cattle Mutilation). However Nitro eventually gets the advantage after Danielson is distracted by Melina at ringside. Nitro takes over with a low blow to Danielson that the ref missed. Nitro beats Danielson down and begins to work over Danielson's head/neck area with DDT's and choke type holds. Eventually Nitro yells out and calls for the Nitro Driver(Angel's Wings). Nitro hooks Danielson and hits it but only gets a 2 count when he goes for the cover. Nitro freaks out and drags Danielson to the corner and calls for the SS450. Nitro climbs to the top and goes for it but Danielson rolls out of the way and Nitro lands on his feet. Danielson gets up behind Nitro and hooks him quicklly.... DRAGON SUPLEX WITH THE BRIDGE! 1......2...... kick out by Nitro. Danielson can't beleive it as he quicklly locks in the World's Greatest Submission on Nitro. Nitro screams as Melina distracts the referee. Joey Mercury comes running out and grabs Danielson's leg. Mercury pulls Danielson's leg out from under him stopping the bridge and breaking the hold. Danielson gets up and reaches over the top to try and grab Mercury but Nitro comes from behind and gets Danielson with a school boy. The ref makes the could as Nitro puts his feet on the second rope 1......2........3! Nitro wins! Nitro takes his feet off the second rope and Mercury gets in the ring. Mercury and Nitro begin to beat down on Danielson and we cut to the back quicklly to see that Haas is trapped in his locker room with a large container infront of the door. Mercury and Nitro continue the beat down and Melina brings 2 chairs into the ring. Melina sets them up edge to edge so they make a larger flat surface. MNM then hits Danielson with a snapshot over the 2 seated area's of the chair. Danielson's face bounces off the chairs and he rolls out of the ring screaming in agony as Melina gets in with a microphone.
Winner: Johnny Nitro

MNM cut a promo against WGTTv2:
Melina holds the microphone as she stands between Mercury and Nitro. Melina looks over the top at Danielson on the floor holding his face. Melina laughs and begins to speak.
Melina: Haha. Look at what these two have done. This just proves that MNM are the greatest tag team in the WWE of yesterday, today, and tommorow!
Joey Mercury: Thats right damnit! We're the best team to ever step foot into a professional wrestling ring. Legion of Doom, New Age Outlaws, The Rockers, they got nothin' on us! We're the gods of the tag team world and its just a matter of time before we prove it by once again taking those WWE Tag Team titles for our own!
Johnny Nitro: Heh, you got the idea Mercury. We are the greatest. So great infact we could leave WWE right now and still make this amount of money on the indy scene. Thats how much they want us!
Melina: O you all better learn to beleive that my men are the best. Because we are MNM and we are #1!
Melina puts the microphone down and MNM leave as we fade to the final commercial break before Christian interviews Batista.

Michael Cole: Wow. Just wow. I can not beleive what they did to Bryan Danielson!
Tazz: I know what you mean. I'm more shocked that they even stated that they're better than the LOD, the New Age Outlaws, even the Rockers.
Michael Cole: They have Texas sized egos!
Tazz: That may be true but we'll talk about it all later. I think its time for Christian's Peep Show interview.
The Peep Show Interview|Host: Christian|Guest: Batista:
Christians music hits and he comes walking down to the ring looking cockier than ever. Christian gets in the ring which is set up amazingly like an actual talk show. A nice desk in the middle where Christian sits. A couch beside the desk for Batista. A big screen TV behind Christian. And plants in every corner. Christian gets into the ring and sits at the desk and picks up his microphone and begins to speak.
Christian: Welcome everybody to the official Peep Show Interview! You may remember me having this one night on RAW when I took over the Highlight Reel. Well now its back. Tonight is the Peep Show and this is the interview for this show. And what an interview I have for you. I have the man that I will go one on one with at The Great American Bash for his World Title. I have the man I will defeat at The Great American Bash for the World Title. I have BATISTA!
Batista's theme hits and he comes walkings out. Batista does his little dance thing to get the crowd going before he makes his way down to the ring. Batista goes to pose but Christian speaks.
Christian: Cut the music. You roidfreak get over here and sit down. This isn't picture time!
Batista's music cuts out and he angrly sits down on the couch. Christian asks his first question.
Christian: Well Batista i've compiled a few questions to ask you tonight. First being how does it feel to be World Champion?
Batista: It feels gr.....
Christian: Thats awesome! But onto the stuff that matters. How do you predict it will feel when you lose that title to me at The Great American Bash?
Batista: O i'm sure it will feel fine cause i'm not going to lose the title to you. Because you are just a little runt!
Christian: Hey now whatch the language. I am part General Manager for the night and I can have you suspended. Now, a question thats on everyones minds. How did you get such a strong body?
Batista: Hard workouts. What else?
Christian: Don't lie you roidmonkey. We all know you're gassed up!
Batista: What did you just say?!
Christian: You're a gassed up loser!
Batista throws the microphone and stands up. Christian speaks alittle more.
Christian: Hey now roidy don't get all bent out of shape!
Batista rips off the suit jacket and flips the couch. Christian stands up and starts to yell at Batista while saying it into the microphone so all can hear.
Christian: WHAT THE HELL IS YOUR PROBLEM YOU ROIDED UP PEICE OF SHIT! THAT COUCH WAS WORTH 5,000 DOLLARS! YOU BETTER BE PAYING FOR IT! O wait you probablly won't because it will cut into your steroid money! ROIDY!
Batista clotheslines the hell out of Christian. Batista picks Christian up and hits him with a spinebuster. Batista then picks Christian up again and...... BATISTA BOMB!!!!! Batista stands up and gets ready to leave but then he looks back. Batista picks Christian up again. He sets him up near the desk. Batista lifts Christian..... BATISTA BOMB ONTO THE DESK! The desk collapses like an announce table.... what a surprise. Christian lays motionless on the ground and Batista then stands over him and holds up the World Title as we fade out ending the show.
