2005: A War for the Ages (WCW)

[Disengager]

WCW MONDAY NIGHT NITRO

Monday, December 12th, 2005

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

"I'm back and better then ever.." hits and out comes the boss before Meltzer even has a chance to welcome us to Nitro. Bischoff comes out to a mixed reaction before getting in the ring and grabbing a microphone.

Bischoff: "So we've reached the end of the year. It's been a great year for me, let me tell you, running WCW has been the best experience in the world. But that's not why I'm out here, I'm out here to take care of some business. First, this sunday, we've got a little pay per view called Starcade. Well, I made some promises last week, and I have to stay true to them, so I've granted the requests of CM Punk and Matt Hardy and at Starcade, Matt will take on Edge and CM will take on Austin Aries in singles competition! Also, I've signed another match, a 4 corners match for the cruiserweight title featuring Ruckus, Elix Skipper, Billy Kidman and Sonny Siaki! Well, now that that is taken care of, there's one more piece of business I need to attend to.

Recently, I've scouted the industry, and I've discovered 4 potential guys that I can bring to my organization, WCW. Now, I put some thought into it, and I decided that I'd rather ask my fans who they think I should sign. So who do you want to see in WCW, first we have, WWE Raw Superstar Tyson Tomko! (crowd boo's), WWE Smackdown superstar Orlando Jordan (crowd boo's), My very own nephew, ugh.. Eugene (crowd cheers) , or the largest man in sports entertainment today, The Big Show (crowd neutral). You can vote by logging into WCW.COM after the show and voting for who you think I should steal from the clutches of WWE, just like I've done in the past. And Vince, there's nothing you can do to stop me!"

Bischoff music hits and the crowd is in utter shock after this announcement as we go to commercial break.

COLT CABANA AND ACE STEEL VS AIR PARIS AND PAUL BIRCHALL

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

WINNERS: COLT CABANA AND ACE STEEL

Backstage, Maria is sitting down reading what appears to be the latest issue of Glam or something like that. All of a sudden, Edge walks up to her backstage and she gets a bit nervous.

Edge: "Hi Maria!"

Maria: "umm, Hi"

Edge: "Maria, I wanted to tell you that I'm really sorry about all that's happened in recent weeks. I just want you to know, I wasn't trying to spear you last week and that Matt throwing you out of the way was uncalled for."

Maria: "Ok, um, thanks?"

Edge: "Oh don't thank me, thank Matt for that big bruise on your elbow, that was a pretty bad fall you .."

Matt Hardy comes storming down a hallway.

Matt: "Get the hell away from her."

Edge: "Gotta go, nice chatting with you."

Edge takes off running down a hallway as Matt finally gets to Maria.

Matt: "What the hell was that all about?"

Maria: "It's none of your business Matt Hardy."

Maria goes walking off in the other direction, leaving Matt winded and confused.

We come back, and Cactus Jack's music hits! Out comes the hardcore legend to a great pop as he gets in the ring, he has something to say.

Cactus: "Rarely do I come out here and complain, but I have a bit of a problem, you see, Starcade is this Sunday, and there's someone who needs an asskicking this sunday that isn't scheduled to get one. So Whiskey Marc, why don't you bring your ass out here."

Whiskey's music hits and Marc stands out on the top of the entrance ramp.

Cactus: "I have to admit, you kicked my ass pretty good last month Marc, you really gave it to me by throwing me off the top of that cage. Me and you, we're not fit for a wrestling ring anymore. That's why, this Sunday, I want you Whiskey Marc, in a boiler room Brawl!"

Whiskey: "Just when I thought that I had taken out the trash, it comes back. Last week, you cost me the WCW United States title Cactus. If you're expecting me to deny your challenge, then you're wrong pal, you're dead wrong. And this Sunday, you're going to beg me forgiveness when I cripple you inside of that boiler room."

Cactus: "I'm already half crippled you dumb s.o.b, I walk with a limp, I wake up every morning in pain, as far as I'm concerned, not much more damage can be done. But you, you Whiskey Marc, this sunday, I'll be like a kid in a candy store, I won't know which body part to hurt on you first! BANG BANG!"

The two yell at each other while Cactus's music plays throughout the arena.

SEAN O'HAIRE VS HOMICIDE VS BIG VITO

Great match here as these three heavyweights hook it up here. Vito and Homicide exchange blows while O'haire watches. Homicide gains the upper hand and Irish whips Vito right into an O'hair Powerslam, then O'Haire gets up and lariat's Homicide! O'haire goes on the offensive with bodyslams to Homicide and Vito followed by a legdrop to Homicide, but Vito attacks O'haire from behind. No one really retains control of the match, with all 3 superstars each getting their opportunity to dominate. Midmatch, Homicide and O'haire teamed up long enough to hit a double team powerbomb, but it didn't last long as O'Haire went for a pin on Vito, which Homicide broke up. The two got into a shoving war which escalated to fists and finally a gut wrench powerbomb by O'haire, but literally out of nowhere Vito rolled up O'haire for a 2.99999. The ending came with O'Haire playing possum on the ground while Homicide hit a piledriver on Vito. As Homicide turned around, O'Haire threw him out of the ring and ran up top, hitting a seanton bomb for the 1-2-3 pinfall victory. After the match, O'Haire hightailed it out of there as Homicide ran back into the ring as the refs helped Vito the outside, who looked drained after the contest

WINNER: SEAN O'HAIRE

<M:81% C:66% O:73%>

Backstage, we see the Legion of Doom with Paul Ellering

Ellering: "Sinister Creation, you stole something that don't belong to you, nor will EVER belong to you. And this sunday, we're coming for them, we're going to take back our gold after we kick your asses"

Animal: "Actually Paul, me and Hurricane made a decision. We think that this Sunday, we'd rather be out there, alone, in the tag team title match. Too many funny things have happened lately Paul."

Ellering: "What? Are you questioning my faith to you guys? It's mindgames by the sinister creation that's leading you to believe this, I'm telling you, YOU NEED ME OUT THERE, Sinister Minister will be at ringside."

Hurricane: "We know full well that he'll be at ringside Paul, and we trust you, we just, don't want you there this Sunday."

Ellering: "Well, fine, if that's how it has to be, if you guys want to do this yourselfs, alright. But just remember, Sinister Creation are a very deadly team, and without me, you guys are at a greater risk to lose the title for goods this time."

Ellering walks off one way as the Legion of Doom walk off the other and there's obviously unrest between the tag champs and their manager.

MATT HARDY VS AUSTIN ARIES

Good technical matchup here as Hardy is fired up from the earlier conflict with Edge. Great chain wrestling in the early going as the two put on a great "I counter, you counter, we break" display on 3 occasions before flat out exchanging blows. Aries got off the Double northern lights suplex like last week, which got ooo's and ahh's from the crowd. Aries tried for a double jump moonsault, but Hardy rolled out of the way. Hardy with a swinging neckbreaker and a brainbuster and goes up top, Cross body! 1-2-kickout. Hardy on the offensive now and goes to work with an irish whip back body drop and a legdrop across for the neck for another 2 count. Hardy with a russian legsweep and goes up top, elbow drop misses and Aries takes control with a fisherman suplex and slaps in the fishhook which nearly gets him DQ'd. Aries picks him up and hits a Michinoku driver before heading up top, 450 attempt misses and Hardy goes behind Aries, German suplex  attempt but Aries blocks it and drops to a seated position, Monkey flip variation, but Aries holds onto the arm and goes into an armringer, but jumps up and hits a headscissors while still holding onto the arm and slapping in a crossarm breaker! Matt fights back and whips Aries, and ducks arie's spinning wheel kick, but Aries gets a piece of the referee. Not enough to take him out, but enough to knock him out of the ring. Edge comes running down and gets in the ring and goes for the spear, but Matt moves out of the way way and Aries getsa hard spear! Edge is shocked at what he just did and matt grabs him and throws him out of the ring. Twist of fate to Aries for the 1-2-3 pinfall win  as Matt celebrates his victory while yelling at Edge on the outside.

WINNER: MATT HARDY

Glass Shatters and out comes Austin to a roarin' ovation. He does his traditional poses before grabbing the microphone.

Austin: "I'm gonna make this short and sweet. I aint out here to play games, I aint out here to talk trash, I'm out here to Kick some ass. So Raven, get your sorry carcass out here so you can get what's coming to you!"

Raven's music hits after a suspensful 5 seconds, but Raven isn't coming out. The music plays for 30 seconds before stopping.

Austin: "Running scared ya son of a bitch? Yeah, that's what I thought Raven. This sunday, I'm.."

Raven jumped the barrier and attacked Austin from behind, but Austin is quick to retaliate and the two exchange right hands in the middle of the ring! Austin finally gets the upper hand and throws Raven over the top rope. The two fight in the crowd for a couple minutes before going back to ringside. Austin goes to whip Raven into the turnbuckle, but Raven reverses and Austin crashes into it headfirst. Russian legsweep into the guardrail by raven. The two fight up the ramp and Raven attempts a ddt on the steel ramp, but austin throws him up and over and Raven lands back first on the steel. The two fight up the ramp and through the entrance area!

CHRISTIAN VS BOOKER T©, US TITLE MATCH

Yet another great contest here as these two also display great wrestling skills. They exchange control in the early going with simple moves like body slams, wristlocks, headlocks, punches, etc. It looks to be anyone's match in the early going. Finally Book get control with a roundhouse kick. Whip by book gets followed with a samoan drop for an early two count. Book with another whip and goes for a powerslam, but Christian hits a tornado DDT instead! Christian goes to the top rope, but when he jumps off, Book catches him in Bookend position! Christian quickly elbows out and bounces off the ropes, but Book hits a powerslam for another two. The frustrated Christian regroups on the outside.

The two tieup and Christian applies a wristlock, then an arm ringer . Whip into the corner by Christian, who tries to follow through with a clothesline in the corner, but Book kicks him in the face and sits up top and jumps off with a hammerblow, but Christian hits him with a glancing blow in the stomach. Christian with a reverse DDT for a 2 count and he's starting to feel it. Christian climbs up top, but Book is quick to his feet and climbs up top too, SUPERPLEX by Book and that took the life out of both of them. Book makes a delayed cover, but only gets a 2 count. The two battle to their feet and exchange right hands, Book finally gets the upperhand and kicks Christian in the stomach, SCISSORS KICK! Here's the cover, 1-2- KICKOUT AT 2.999999!! Book is shocked! Book with a bodyslam and he goes to the top rope, HARLEM HANGOVER MISSES and book is in a world of pain. Christian hooks it in, UNPRETTIER!!! 1-2-3 and WE HAVE A NEW UNITED STATES CHAMPION!!! Christian celebrates with the newly won gold in the ring as the crowd cheers him.

WINNER CHRISTIAN

Meltzer: "Ladies and Gentlemen, we just got word that Eric Bischoff has booked a rematch for Starcade between Christian and Booker T in Christian's first US Title defense!"

Coach: "What a shocker we just saw moments ago!"

REY MYSTERIO AND AMAZING RED VS LOS MEXICANOS

Rey and Red receive great pops while the crowd is pretty neutral on Los Mexicanos. Konnan and Red start it out, with Red using his quickness to his advantage and getting an early dropkick to the back to start this one out. Red in control with a flying head scissors takedown as Konnan then makes the tag to Eddie. Eddie takes it to Red, as the two have some history here in WCW. Eddie is simply too powerful for red, who ends up getting planted with a sidewalk slam after diving onto Eddie. Midmatch and Los Mexicanos are in control as Rey desperately needs to get a tag to Red. Konnan and Eddie work him over with a series of double teams. Rey finally is able to counter an Eddie guerrero powerbomb with a ddt and then drop the dime on Eddie before making the tag to Red, who goes up top and immediately hits a backflip corkscrew on Eddie, who wasn't expecting it at all.

2 count before Konnan breaks it up,  But Rey jumps over the ropes and hits a springboard reverse DDT to the crowds delight. Rey throws Konnan through the ropes and the two go fighting through the crowd. In  the ring, Eddie has taken control of Red and is simply giving him a beating. 3 amigos connects and Eddie follows with the rolling senton. Back suplex and this is all Eddie. All of a sudden, Konnan and Rey appear back at ringside! This distracts the ref, who is yelling at them to get back in the ring. Meanwhile, Here comes Jericho running down the ramp and into the ring, undetected by eddie Guerrero! Low Blow uppercut behind Eddie's back amd that took it out of Eddie. SATELITE DDT BY RED!! Red goes up top, RED STAR PRESS! 1-2-3 and Rey and Red win it, but just as soon as Red gets the 1-2-3, he pops off Eddie and jumps right on the ropes before leaping forward with a cannonball plancha onto Rey and Konnan as they were still battling!

WINNERS: REY MYSTERIO AND AMAZING RED

<M:84% C:77% O:80%>

Meanwhile, in the ring, Chris Jericho has gotten back in the ring as Eddie is getting to his feet in the corner. Eddie turns around the two stare at each other while Jawing. They get toe to toe.

Meltzer: "The tension is so thick you can cut it with a shoelace!"

Coach: "Your an idiot Meltzer."

The two are forehead to forehead now and are just staring each other down. Finally, Jericho extends his and and delivers a hellacious bitchslap right across the face. Eddie looks to the side for a second before smiling and backing away. Eddie just smiles as Jericho is confused as hell at what just happened. We fade out at the site of Eddie smiling sadistically.

Meltzer: "Folks, Starcade is this sunday, you can't miss it, Order NOWWW"

- RATINGS -

Primetime:

WWE - 6.06

WCW - 5.86

ECW - 5.49

TNA - 3.11

Nothing to see here.. movin' right along..

BIRCHALL: A PUSH IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION

Paul Birchall is being pushed from the opening position onto the lower midcard. Birchall continues to impress WCW with his in ring ability despite mic skills.

WCW WINS WAR, SENDS ECW REELING.

WCW recently won their war with ECW, which caused ECW's PI to drop from 11 to 6% global. However, the war caused WCW a loss in Public image from 11 to 8. We'll have more on this as it develops

RAVEN FINDS RELIGION

It is being said that Raven has appeared to be a changed man following his newly found relgious ways.. whatever that means.

WCW RELEASES TOP NAME

We have gotten word that World Championship Wrestling has bought out Mark Jindrak's contract, leaving the door open for a future return. Following the Jindrak-O'Haire split, many felt it was due to Jindrak not having the ability to get over with the fans as well as his in-ring work not improving. WCW wishes him the best of luck in all his endeavors and certainly is open to a return at a later date.

3. I didn't really like Kidman winning the Cruiserweight Title, I thought you had something good going with Siaki.

Overall another great show from you, I was suprised (and happy) to see Austin win the match against Raven. I'm wondering where you're going to go in 2006....Austin vs Jericho maybe? That'd be interesting, to say the least.

[El Presidente]

8/10

yes

I didn't really like Christian retaining, no particular reason really, I just thought Booker T would be a better champ like he was when he started becoming a star in wcw. Haha, I figured I'd go in a different direction and pick Austin Aries, I'm a big mark for Austin Aries, he's one of the only wrestlers I follow on the indy scene. I just think CM Punk is over rated by everyone and always over pushed, I would like to see Austin Aries make a nice mid card champion at some point.
