Project "X"

[Guest RTO]

PROJECT "X"

Prepare yourself to witness a promotion's seperation from it's superior, and it's independent rise.

You are about to enter a world of wrestling you are surely not familiar with. A world now in the year 2007, but more importantly, a world without the World Wrestling Federation(Entertainment). As a matter of fact, to the fans in this world, there was never such a thing. The National Wrestling Alliance has dominated this world for decades, however, in more recent years, branches of the NWA have been falling, while new, independent promotion have been rising. In the year 2005, a NWA introduced its newest branch, NWA: Hybrid Wrestling. This promotion was said to be the one to save the National Wrestling Alliance, and it quickly caught the eye of wrestling fans everywhere. Recruiting talent based soley on that exactly, talent, NWA:HW sored above all other NWA promotions, and any wrestling organization in general.

Reachin the heights of global stardom in mid-2006, Hybrid Wrestling was still under the control of the NWA, which unfortunately did not have any plans on letting them take their branch to the highest level possible. To do that, Hybrid Wrestling would need a television show, among many other things. Continuing to gain image with only one major event held every month, Hybrid Wrestling owner Ron Niemi began planning ahead. Behind the backs of the members on the NWA head council, Niemi started searching for TV deals, and secretly learning how to run his own complete business, so for more of less, his very own wrestling promotion. All information was placed in a manilla folder on Niemi's desk labeled simply with the letter "X".

Although the NWA continued to treat him poorly and hold him back whether it be due to jealousy, or a pure dislike, Niemi had a loyalty to his workers and staff. He had created bonds with the members of his NWA branch, and did not plan on breaking them. Because of this, Niemi did not keep his "under the radar" plans a secret to the rest of the HW cast. They all knew that with Ron Niemi's direction, they all could become the stars they've been patiently waiting to be since the NWA: HW debut in the summer of 2005.

With everything set to go, Niemi was ready to reveal what he had been working on for the past 7 months. He was ready to announce he and his promotions split from the National Wrestling Alliance. He was ready to do this at Hybrid Wrestling's annual December event, SnowBrawl.

The Shocking Finale... The Shocking Beginning

With thousands in attendence with no idea of what they were about to witness, NWA: Hybrid Wrestling put on one of their most impressive shows to date. Paul London scored a nice victory over the newest face in HW Robert Van Winkle, but his victory's sweetness lastest very shortly as London's rival Michael "The Heart Throb" Shane ran to the ring and nailed him with the superb sidekick to the face. Lance Storm and Low Ki put an end to their magnificent fued in an "I Quit" match, which saw the Canadian star forcing Ki to quit to his Half Crab. The Millionaires Club (Kid Kash and "Money" Brian Kendrick) surged to the top of the tag team division by defeating Simon Diamond and Swinger to become the new United States Tag Team Champions. Top face in the company Jerry Lynn continued his path to regaining the World's Heavyweight Title by defeating Tony Mamaluke despite the help of Mamaluke's partner Guido Soprano. And finally, in the event's main event, World's Heavyweight Champion Christopher Daniels successfully defended his gold against #1 Contender Elix Skipper, who won the rights to face Daniels a month earlier. As Daniels, surrounded by "The Syndicate" including Donovan Morgan, Mike Sanders and Sean O'Haire, left the ring area, fans were told to stay seated, as owner Ron Niemi entered the ring to a brigade of cheers.

Niemi: " Ladies and gentlemen, for the past year and a half NWA: Hybrid Wrestling has been providing you with the world's best wrestling. We have been called the greatest show on the canvas, and without a doubt, as a can see here tonight, we have reached out and earned a powerful fan base. But there has been a factor that has been holding us back, whether or not it seems as if we aren't reaching the greatest heights possible. Im sorry to announce to you that your beloved National Wrestling Alliance has been keeping its chin over Hybrid Wrestling, and attempting to take us below the radar in order to give more attention to several other branches which they feel could eventually be a more successful investment. "

The crowd sits in awe and confusion, waiting to here what Ron Niemi is leading to. By now it is complete silence, as everybody in the arena knows they are about to witness a major turning point in this company.

Niemi: " Since becoming the owner of this great promotion, I have dedicated 15 hours of my day, and 7 days of my week to make sure we bring to you the best show possible, and to make sure we keep you coming back. Months ago I realized that the only way to make sure I can keep doing that is to end my partnership with the NWA. The only way I could bring success to this company is to run it on my own, without the "higher powers" of the National Wrestling Alliance keeping their snobby noses in my business. So to everyone at the NWA offices, everybody watching involved with this superior alliance, I say FAREWELL. I say I'M DONE. But I'm not leaving alone, oh no. I'm taking MY wrestling promotion with me. Here I have legal documents proving that I own this company, and me soley. And with these documents in my other hand, claiming my partnership with the NWA, I do this...

Niemi blows his nose on his NWA contract, as the crowd is in complete shock at his partnership with the NWA ending.

Niemi: " But don't think we are going anywhere. You make sure you turn into NBC tomorrow night at 8pm, as the new beginning to Hybrid Wrestling kicks off. The beginning of the "X" federation rumors have been circulating about. The beginning of Project X Wrestling!!!

Ron Niemi lifts up a signature shirt labeled with the initials "PXW" pasted on. The crowd is in a craze of confusion, excitement, and eagerness as Niemi leaves the ring and the show's shocking encore comes to an end.

OOC: Coming either later tonight or tomorrow afternoon.... The complete history of NWA: HW (now PXW) and current roster and important facts to keep you up to date.

The Complete History of NWA: Hybrid Wrestling

Now Project X Wrestling

July 2005 - December 2005

On July 1st, 2005, National Wrestling Alliance officials announced the arrival of their newest branch, NWA: Hyrid Wrestling. In stiff competition with rival branches NWA: Canadian Stampede and NWA: East Coast, Hybrid Wrestling quickly soared over both companies and during a period of weakness in the wrestling industry, were the only company able to continually gain in image. With their first event ever entitled "The Inauguration" a one man tournament for the World's Heavyweight Championship saw Jerry Lynn defeating Christopher Daniels in the finals in order to become the first ever champion in the Hybrid Wrestling era. It was on this night that the historic fued between Jerry Lynn and Christopher Daniels began, a fued over the World's Heavyweight Championship which would last nearly a year.

The following months featured a special tournament named the "Heart League". This league featured two division, each featuring 4 wrestlers. The 4 wrestlers would fight all members of their respected divisions, and the champions of each division finally met in the December showcase SnowBrawl 2005 to crown a Heart League Champion. This match saw Elix Skipper defeating Michael Shane, completing an undefeated performance throughout the entire league. The win also earned him a shot at the World's Heavyweight Title the following month.

These first 6 months also built and debuted the most dominant stable in the NWA:HW, "The Syndicate" led by none other than top heel, Christopher Daniels. Daniels recruited Donovan Morgan and first ever United States Tag Team Champions The Thrillerz (Sanders and O'Haire" to join him in an attempt to what he put as an overthrow of the National Wrestling Alliance, but what some seemed as just his way of gaining help in his quest to the World's Heavyweight Title.

January 2006 - June 2006

The first half of the year 2006 was spotlighted by the climax of the Jerry Lynn / Christopher Daniels fued. After a time limit draw for the #1 Contendership, both Christopher Daniels and Eddie Guerrero earned the right to face Jerry Lynn and challenge him for his World's Heavyweight Title at the company's first PPV "staRRade". With Jerry Lynn coming out the victory after an amazing triple threat match, Christopher Daniels issued one last challenge to Lynn, promising this would not only be the end to their brutal rivalry, but finally the match which he would become the World's Heavyweight Champion. At an event rightfully entitled "The Final Showdown" Christopher Daniels finally defeated Jerry Lynn, ending his 10 month reign as champion, and beginning Christopher Daniels run which still continues as of today.

A month later, in June, with Christopher Daniels first title defense a successful one against Elix Skipper, Daniels was caught by surprise as Chris Jericho made his debut, attacking the champion as he celebrated his first title defense. This month also featured the debut of Lance Storm, who quickly captured the distaste of NWA fans.

July 2006 - December 2006

With Christopher Daniels' title reign underway, the NWA:HW was heading towards a new direction. No longer led by the baby face but rather one of its most hated bad guys, Hybrid Wrestling made a strong surge to global levels. At the one year anniversary show, Christopher Daniels defended his title against the number one contender Paul London in what most fans called the Match of the Year. The following month at "The Gauntlet", a 10 man gauntlet match won by Shelton Benjamin gave him full rights to the #1 contendership.

During this period Hybrid Wrestling began to build its tag team division. The teams of Billy Kidman & Jonny Storm and The Millionaires Club began to rise to the top of the tag division, with The Millionaires Club quickly becoming US Tag Team Champions.

At the final event of the year, SnowBrawl '06, after another successful title defense by Christopher Daniels, owner Ron Niemi announced to the crowd that NWA:HW would be seperating from the National Wrestling Alliance, gain a TV Deal, and become his own Project X Wrestling, leading us into the new year.

OOC: Coming up next will be the complete roster as well as company information and a brief look at the current state of the wrestling world.

[Guest RTO]

Complete PXW Roster

AJ Styles - Face - 87 over - A phenomanal performer who has yet to gain full main event status. Styles spent most of his NWA:HW career as a tag wrestler, teaming with the American Dragon to become United States Tag Team Champions until their split after losing the titles to Simon Diamond and Swinger.

American Dragon - Face - 83 over - A former US Tag Team Champion with AJ Styles and rising high flyer.

Billy Kidman - Face - 87 over - Another superb high flyer who recently has been gaining respect in the tag team division scoring several key victories along with partner Jonny Storm.

"Money" Brian Kendrick - Heel - 68 over - The rich Brian Kendrick debuted several months ago as Kid Kash's new tag team partner, and became one half of the US Tag Team Champions last month at SnowBrawl as "The Millionaires Club" defeated Simon Diamond and Swinger.

Chris Jericho - Face - 98 over - Perhaps the most popular face in the company, Jericho has been with this promotion for almost a year fueding with World's Heavyweight Champion Christopher Daniels. However, he was never able to win the title, and was recently sidelined with a neck injury.

Christopher Daniels - Heel - 96 over - The current World's Heavyweight Champion and leader of "The Syndicate." Daniels bursted onto the HW scene by fueding with first champion Jerry Lynn until finally winning the title over 10 months after being defeated by Lynn in the Title's tournament final.

Donovan Morgan - Heel - 68 over - Perhaps being kept under the shadow of his "leader" Christopher Daniels, Donovan Morgan has had a successful record in singles competition as well has teaming with Daniels in a perfect tag record.

Eddie Guerrero - Face - 86 over - Although becoming the #1 Contender to the World's Heavyweight Title, Guerrero was never able to get the job done. Caught in the middle of an amazing fued between Jerry Lynn and Christopher Daniels, Guerrero has yet to be able to break out to stardom.

Elix Skipper - Heel - 86 over - Winner of the "Heart League" which not only boosted him up in the rankings of NWA:HW, but earned him a shot at the World's Heavyweight Title where he became one hand pound on the mat away from becoming champ. More known for his 8-0 start in the company.

Guido Soprano and Tony Mamaluke - Heels - 85 / 68 over - These fiery Italians have been rumored to carry Mob connections behind them, but their "backing" has yet to earn them any triumphs in the tag division thus far.

Ikaitia Loa - Heel - 72 over - A Japanese star who has put on many memorable matches with stars such as Billy Kidman and the American Dragon.

Jay Briscoe and Mark Briscoe - Faces - 85 / 84 over - The Briscoe Brothers have scored a few major victories along the road, but have been placed on the back burner to teams such as The Thrillerz and Simon Diamond and Swinger.

Jerry Lynn - Face - 92 over - The first ever World's Heavyweight Champion and one of the most successful singles wrestlers in NWA:HW, Jerry Lynn has not had much of a push since losing the title to Christopher Daniels, but it is rumored he will be recieving plenty of TV time as the company moves towards its new era.

Jonny Storm - Face - 88 over - Yet to see much action as a singles wrestling, Jonny Storm is having an impressive run with tag partner Billy Kidman.

Lance Storm - Heel - 90 over - Lance Storm is Canada's pride and joy, however that is the only place he ever recieves an applause. His recent fued with Low Ki boosted him up to near main event status.

Low Ki - Face - 75 over - Aside from a fued in which he lost to Lance Storm, Low Ki has simply been a man thrown into "filler matches." However, his martial arts skills have recently impressed the fans and should earn him a spot on TV shows to come.

Matthew Banner and Luke Banner - Heels - 65 / 56 over - Another minor tag team who have yet to witness success, Matthew and Luke Banner were more commonly known as the "Alter Boys" before coming to NWA:HW with a fresh slate.

"The Heart Throb" Michael Shane - Heel - 83 over - Without a doubt the most hated man in the promotion. From bitterness after losing in the finals of the Heart Leauge, he turned his aggressions towards heated rivalry with Paul London.

Mike Sanders - Heel - 74 over - The third member of The Syndicate, Mike Sanders hasn't had much of an impact since he and Sean O'Haire lost the US Tag Team Titles and O'Haire attempted to make it as a singles wrestler.

"The American Hero" Paul London - Face - 84 over - The most liked and respected wrestler according to the fans reaction, Paul London has had one of the most successful NWA:HW careers. His lack of title wins however is put to the side after every altercation with rival Michael Shane.

Ric Flair - Heel - 80 over - The suave Commisioner of the company, Flair has yet to have a major impact outside of the backstage area, but is certainly looking forward to one now with the TV deal secure.

"The Prince of Wrestling" Robert Van Winkle - Heel - 82 over - The self proclaimed "Prince of Wrestling," Robert Van Winkle comes straight from royalty and into the ring with a snob-ish presence mixed in with high flying astonishment.

Sean O'Haire - Heel - 79 over - The final member of Christopher Daniels' "Syndicate" and former US Tag Team Champion with Mike Sanders. O'Haire has made several attempts at a singles career, but the fans have yet to buy into it.

Shelton Benjamin - Face - 87 over - Shelton Benjamin has had many opportunities at becoming the World's Heavyweight Champion, but has yet to successfully completed a title match. Other than that, Benjamin has won the hearts of many, plus he's getting attention from his escort, Stacy Keibler.

Simond Diamond and Swinger - Tweeners - 77 / 80 over - The most successful tag team in NWA:HW's short history. Simon Diamond and Swinger's first US Tag Team Title reign recently came to an end thanks to Kid Kash and Brian Kendrick, The Millionaires Club.

"Rebel" Steve Corino - Heel - 86 - The "Rebel" of professional wrestling, Steve Corino plays by only his rules. However, his rule book has got him nothing but a mixed fan reaction and an average record as a singles competitor.

Other Active Wrestlers

Colt Cabana - Face - 52 over

Derrick King - Heel - 43 over

Jimmy Yang - Face - 69 over

Johnny Jeter - Face - 49 over

Keiji Sakota - Heel - 49 over

Scoot Andrews - Heel - 58 over

PXW FIGHT NIGHT

Monday, January 1st, 2007

From Los Angeles, California

Announce Team: Jon Ian and Bobby Heenan

Live on NBC

Rating: 7.59

Attendence: 9,657

---------------

A video package is played of historic wrestling moments, mainly of classic NWA matches of which feature PXW Commissioner Ric Flair. As the clips begin getting more recent, the black and white picture changes to color as the clips begin showing high flying and great technical performances from the past year and a half events presented by the then NWA: Hybrid Wrestling promotion. The clips come to a hault, with a freeze frame on Daniels holding the PXW Championship high in the air, as the PXW logo flashes across the screen. The camera fades into a shot at the crowd of nearly 10,000 and commentators Jon Ian and Bobby Heenan begin broadcasting the inaugural TV show. They go over the nights card, as well as what to expect from PXW, for the people who may be brand new to the organization. The "cha-ching" of a cash register is heard through the arena, Heenan announces his excitement for the team about to come to the ring. (69)

While the color of money (green for those who were wondering) flashes around the arena, PXW Tag Team Champions The Millionaires Club begin to make their way to the ring, showing off their money and flashing their diamond laced rings and necklaces. As Brian Kendrick boasts on the top turnbuckle, Kid Kash calls for a microphone. Kash begins to recall their Tag Title victory a week earlier over Simon Diamond and Swinger at SnowBrawl 2006, and state that they beat the so-called best tag team in PXW, and now were ready to show everyone why there's a new best team on the block. After trashing Diamond and Swinger, Kendrick grabs the microphone for an attempt to get a word in on the Briscoes, but their music interupts Kendrick before he gets the chance. (82)

The Millionaires Club© v. The Briscoes

PXW Tag Team Championships

The Briscoes rush to the ring, only to be met by a fleet of boots from the Millionaires Club the second they enter. The pace of this match was fast, and the crowd not only gave the fan favorites applauses, but the Millionaires themselves earned a couple cheers for their performance as well. At about the 12 minute mark, with Jay previously tossed over the top rope and landing flat on his back, Mark was left to defend himself against a double team from Kash and Kendrick. Completely helpless, Mark was knocked down by a double dropkick, and Kash and Kendrick climbed opposite ring posts. Simultaneously, Kash hits a big splash as Kendrick nails a leg drop. Kash makes the cover for the 3 count and their first successful defense. (87)

Winners, and still Champions: The Millionaires Club

Time: 11:31

With Kash and Kendrick holding up their titles and mocking the Briscoes, former Tag Team Champions Simon Diamond and Swinger appear at the top of the entrance ramp. They tell The Millionaires Club that their summary of the match last week was far from accurate (In reality they pulled off a cheap victory) and that if they were true champions they'd give them a rematch next week. Kash came back by telling Diamond and Swinger that since they lost the belts, they have to start from the beginning, work their way up, and earn their rematch. Diamond adds that he'll beat any team they put in front of them, and Kash says he'll have a team awaiting them next week on Fight Night, and if they win, they'll get their title shot. Diamond and Swinger grin as they exit to the backstage area. (69)

----COMMERCIAL BREAK----

The cameras briefly show another shot of the crowd before cutting to the backstage area, where "Rebel" Steve Corino and Francine are seated and chatting. Corino stares at the camera for a couple moments, and eventually begins to taunt Jerry Lynn. Corino claimed that at one point during his World's Heavyweight Championship reign, Lynn promised to give him a shot at the title after becoming good friends behind the scenes. However, Corino stated that Lynn turned his back on him and followed the direction of Ron Niemi and his advice on who to defend his title against in order to provide the best interest to the fans and drawing more in. "The Rebel" finished by saying that if he does not defeat Jerry Lynn tonight, he will make sure Lynn is a beaten man next Monday. (91)

Eddie Guerrero v. Robert Van Winkle

Prior to the match's start, Robert Van Winkle came to the ring with his usuall attire, a small yet very flashy crown as well as his signature purple and red robe. The self-proclaimed "Prince of Wrestling" announced that PXW needed a Royal figure to spice up the television ratings, and that is why he is here. Eddie Guerrero cut his self-promotion short, running to the ring in an attempt to shut him up as quick as possible. Guerrero continued his assault throughout the first 5 minutes of the match, but as he went to the top rope to set up for a frog splash, Winkle crawled over and shook the ropes, causing Eddie to fall groan first to the ring post. As both men regained composure, it was a back and forth battle made up mainly of body strikes, failing to provide much excitement. This lasted until Van Winkle finally gained an upperhand, slyly low blowing Guerrero and following it with a suplex. Winkle jumped to the top rope and flew through the air, nailing the Royal Splash on an already hurt Guerrero for the win. (76)

Winner: Robert Van Winkle

Time: 9:47

----COMMERCIAL BREAK----

As we come back from commercials, "The Heart Throb" Michael Shane's music is currently playing and he is already half way to the ring. Rather than going inside the square circle, Shane walks around the ring to the announce table where he takes a seat beside Jon Ian and Bobby Heenan. As he sits down and puts on a set of headphones, Ian asks what he is doing down here, and Shane responds by saying he simply wants to add some color to the upcoming match. But, finally recognizing the next match features Paul London, it's no mystery to Ian as to why Shane is sitting with them. Heenan butters up to Shane throughout the whole segment, as well as throughout the next match while he commentates. (76)

Paul London v. Lance Storm

While Paul London entered the ring, he kept his eyes on the ringside guest Michael Shane as well as all of his attention. London and Shane exchanged words as Lance Storm ran to the ring and snuck up behind London to get the early advantage. Storm and London put on a great performance, but it isn't very long before Shane decides he wants to get a "closer view" of the match. Shane drops his head set and walks to the ring and jumps up on the side of it. Shane attempts to grab the attention of London, and as London walks over to try and put Shane in his place, Storm grabs his leg and locks him in his signature Half Crab. London makes his best attempt to reach the ropes, but as soon as he grasps the bottom rope, Shane breaks his grip and Storm drags him back to the center of the ring where London finally submits. (88)

Winner: Lance Storm

Time: 12:39

----COMMERCIAL BREAK----

Jerry Lynn v. Steve Corino

These two have met several times in the past 3 or so months, mainly over Corino's jealousy of Lynn's popularity with the fans. Corino took out Lynn recently backstage, costing Lynn his spot in a #1 Contender's match, eventually ruining any chance for Lynn to regain the Heayweight Championship. Late in the match, Corino, with Francine distracting the referee, removed the padding on the ring post and attempted to smash Lynn's face into it. Lynn, however, countered, sending Corino's nose straight into the bare metal. But rather than continuing the assault and finishing off Corino, Lynn set his attentions towards Francine. Lynn walked over to ringside where Francine was keeping the ref busy. Lynn moved the ref out of the way and began pointing a shouting at the seductress. Francine ran to the announce table where she grabbed her purse. As Francine swung at Lynn, who was now being held by Corino, the former champion ducked, resulting in the purse nailing "The Rebel" on the side of his head. As his opponent aided to the side of his face, Lynn grabbed him and executed his patented Cradle Piledriver for the victory. (87)

Winner: Jerry Lynn

Time: 16:06

----COMMERCIAL BREAK----

As Jerry Lynn and Steve Corino seperately exited the ring area, PXW Champion Christopher Daniels began to walk down to the ring, followed closely by The Syndicate. As the powerful stable entered the ring, Daniels called for a microphone and furiously states his reasons for presenting himself with no notice. Daniels claims he was angry over the fact that he was not scheduled a match on this historic night, and questions how it's possible to have an inaugural television show without booking the World Champion. After insulting Commissioner Ric Flair's booking decisions, Flair's music plays and he walks out to the top of the entrance ramp to an enormous display of applause. Flair tells Daniels that if he is so upset over not having a match, he will give him what he wants next week. Flair tells Daniels he will defend against not only one, but TWO opponents... AJ Styles and "Heart Throb" Michael Shane. Flair's music plays once again, and the camera fades after a shot of Christopher Daniels shocked expression. (82)

Very good show. I like the match write ups because they do give you a feel for the match, and you don't write novels. Quality before quantity is what you're displaying, and I like that. I'm hoping to see a promo from Robert Van Winkle in the future. He seems like he's quite an established superstar in your fed and we haven't gotten any opportunities to really get to know his character. I'm looking forward to Daniels vs Styles vs Shane, although I feel it came a little too suddenly, Styles and Shane seemingly picked as opponents out of the blue. The Television title tournament should be fun, as well ... I think you should crown Low Ki your TV champ.

Elix Skipper v. Billy Kidman

World Television Title Tournament / First Round

The opening match for tonight sparked the beginning of an 8-Man tournament to crown the first ever PXW World Television Champion. Elix Skipper, cocky as usuall, came to the ring signalling an invisible belt around his waste, surely leading that he will win the tournament to become champion. Billy Kidman, followed to the ring by partner Jonny Storm, got a much better greeting from the San Diego crowd. This did not seem to matter to Skipper, who gave Kidman a punishment he has yet to receive in the tag division. Storm tried his best to cheer on his partner and give him an extra boost, but his cheerleading anctics were no match to Elix Skipper, who finished off Billy Kidman with the Elixion for the 3 count. (82)

Winner: Elix Skipper

Time: 8:51

(Elix Skipper advances to the semi-finals)

----COMMERCIAL BREAK----

With a chance to win the PXW Championship in tonight's main event, Michael Shane made his way to the ring to discuss not only his big match, but his brutal rival, "The American Hero" Paul London. To begin, Shane claimed that he felt that tonight was the night he would finally become the Heavyweight Champion, and that he has already begun to plan his victory tour and future defenses. After showing his confidence in becoming champion, he moved onto Paul London, for who he cost a match last week on the show. Shane began to question Ric Flair's decision to put London in the Television Title Tournament, stating that he is "undeserving" and "unskilled." "The Heart Throb" also mocked London and said that Shane is playing in the big leagues now (PXW Championship match) while London is still working in the basement (Television Title Tournament). As fans awaited Paul London to come out and defend himself, he was nowhere to be found, leaving them nothing to do but 'boo' the confident Michael Shane. (75)

----COMMERCIAL BREAK----

PXW Tag Team Champions The Millionaires Club marched to the ring in their "business attire" carrying their titles and a microphone. Last week, after being challenged by Simon Diamond and Swinger, they told them that if they defeated the team of their choice tonight, they would receive their wish. Kid Kash went over last weeks event, but soon enough cut right to the chase and announced who Simon Diamond and Swinger would be going up against tonight. Kash let Kendrick do the honors of announcing the newest tag team in PXW, Ronny and Donny H., "The H. Effect." The two bald headed, biker-looking monsters walked through the curtain and stood at the top of the entrance ramp. (76)

Simon Diamond and Swinger v. The H. Effect

The Millionaires Club special challenge

These two men are possibly the two biggest people PXW has ever seen. Ronny and Donny H. stomped their way to the ring and began the match in true "big man" style, clobbering their opponents with blows to the head and closelines over the top rope. With Kid Kash and Brian Kendrick coaching them aloud through the match, The H. Effect seemed as if there was no way they were losing the match. A mis-communication between Ronny and Donny however resulted in Diamond and Swinger getting back some momentum. As a fresh body in Swinger was tagged into the ring, he triumphantly tossed Donny out of the ring and began taking down Ronny one kick at a time. After Swinger hit the Swing Thing on Ronny and went for the pin, Kash and Kendrick jumped into the ring and began putting a beating on Swinger. As the ref called for the bell, Diamond made an attempt to help his teammate, but was intercepted by Donny H. With Kash and Kendrick double teaming Swinger and The H. Effect taking care of Simon Diamond, the former tag champs were helpless. (73)

Winners, by DQ: Simon Diamond and Swinger

Time: 13:01

Directly after the match cameras cut to the cafe in the backstage area where Jerry Lynn is exchanging conversation with a crew member over a cup of coffee. Another member of the backstage staff, a young woman to be more specific, approaches Lynn and tells him there is a situation in his locker rooms he should attend do. Lynn places his coffee down and heads to the locker room. As he enters, the door shuts quickly, leaving the camera man outside of the door. Moments later screams are heard and for the next 15 to 20 seconds it sounds as if someone if beating Jerry Lynn lifeless. The door finally opens and Steve Corino exits, bat in hand. The camera enters the locker room where Jerry Lynn is seen face first on the ground. A call for medical assistance is heard in the background, and cameras cut to commercials. (88)

----COMMERCIAL BREAK----

Low Ki v. Donovan Morgan

World Television Title Tournament / First Round

In the second of four first round matches in the Television Title tournament, the last for this night, Syndicate member Donovan Morgan made his statement that Christopher Daniels isn't the only great wrestler in the group. Of course, fellow group members Mike Sanders and Sean O'Haire werent far from the ring during this one. As a matter of fact, on multible occasions Mike Sanders was distracting the ref while O'Haire provided some assistance on Low Ki. Low Ki was no match to a 3-on-1 attack, and his arsenal of kicks fell short to the power in numbers that is The Syndicate. Donovan Morgan finally ended the mayhem with a DDT off of the second rope, giving him access to the next round of this tournament. (73)

Winner: Donovan Morgan

Time: 10:17

(Donovan Morgan advances to the semi-finals)

----COMMERCIAL BREAK----

Colt Cabana v. Guido Soprano

Not only was this both men's television debut, but it was also Colt Cabana's PXW debut. The young gun tried to catch Guido by surprise with a sneak attack, but Guido was not being fooled by the rookie. Guido took him down with an elbow, and from here he took total control of Cabana. However, even with Guido's "mafia" mentality and partner Tony Mamaluke's presence at ringside, Colt did not seem the least bit scared. After Mamaluke tossed a chair in the ring, blatantly in order for the ref to see it, the referee had no choice but to take it and throw it out of the ring. This gave Mamaluke a chance to give his partner some help while the ref was busy. But, as Mamaluke took a swing at Cabana, he missed and accidentally hit his partner Guido. As the ref turned back to the action, he was in time to see Cabana hit Mamaluke off the side of the ring and finish off Guido with a Colt 45 for his debut win. (75)

Winner: Colt Cabana

Time: 13:21

Cameras follow medical assistance backstage where they are aiding to the very beaten Jerry Lynn. Lynn seems to be in very bad shape after Corino's viscious attack from earlier, but he still has enough energy to say "Your mine Corino. I'm stil standing!" (67)

----COMMERCIAL BREAK----

Clips of the end of last week's show, where Flair announced tonight's main event triple threat match, are shown. With the finale of the clips being a still shot of Daniels' semi-shocked expression, an interview from "earlier tonight" is played. Here, Daniels' is just entering the backstage area, bag in one hand, title belt in other. He is caught up by PXW Interview Steve Michael Payton who asks him simply what he thought the outcome of the match tonight would be. Daniels comes back with a simple answer to his simple question, stating that he isn't even near the end of his title reign. (84)

Christopher Daniels© v. AJ Styles v. Michael Shane

PXW Championship

Tonights main event featured a match some-what demanded by PXW Champion Christopher Daniels. Furious over not being booked in the inauguaral TV show, Daniels almost ordered Ric Flair to allow him to defend his title this week. Flair gave him one hell of a surprise, naming not only one, but two competitors to face him. Even more, two of the biggest names in the company. With Michael Shane confidently planning out his victory lap before winning the match, "The Heart Throb" entered the ring with a cocky smirk. Although only he and Daniels hyped up the match, AJ Styles possibly stole the show. Near the end of the match, with both Daniels and Shane on the mat next to eachother, Styles went to the top rope and landed a legdrop on both of his opponents. To top that off, he covered both of them at once. Unable to score the win over either man, Styles went to the top rope once more, this time however, pushed off to the outside of the ring by Michael Shane. After tossed Daniels into the ring corner, sandwiching the referee in the process, Paul London ran to the ring to make sure Shane payed for his earlier comments on Paul London's lack of skill and undeservingness of being in the Television Title Tournament. London made a detour to the time keepers table, where he grabbed the PXW Championship title belt. When he entered the ring he stood face to face with Shane, where Shane challenged him to try and hit him with the belt. Instead, London smiled at Shane, and as the referee got up and walked over to see what was unfolding, Daniels rolled up Shane for the three count. An angered Michael Shane threw a tantrum in the ring as London walked away laughing. (87)

Winner, and still champion: Christopher Daniels

Dark Match

Colt Cabana scores his second straight victory in PXW action, this time against Japanese sensation Ikaitia Loa. Cabana led the way in this fast paced match and finished it off with the Colt 45. (7:48 / 83)

---------------

The opening of the show contained footage of last week's main event, a Triple Threat PXW Championship match witch saw Christopher Daniels successfully defend his title against both AJ Styles and Michael Shane after Paul London's distraction of Shane. After the video finishes, Christopher Daniels, along with the rest of The Syndicate, comes to the ring. Daniels began recapping what everyone just witnessed in the previous video, saying that not even two men could take his belt away from him. Continuing to aknowledge the fact that he beat both Styles and Shane, AJ Styles' music interupts him and Styles comes to the entrance ramp. Styles explains that he was never beaten, as Daniels covered Shane and not him. Daniels returned his fact by saying that it doesn't matter who he pinned, he won the match, and if he had a chance he'd pin Styles just as easily. Styles says that is just what he came out here for, and challenges him to defend his title against him in a 1-on-1 match at Pushing The Limits. Daniels accepts, and Styles walks away a happier man. (76)

----COMMERCIAL BREAK----

Shelton Benjamin v. Robert Van Winkle

World Television Title Tournament / First Round

In the third first round match of the Television Title tournament, Shelton Benjamin, led to the ring by the beautiful Stacy, tried to finally shut up the snobbish Robert Van Winkle. Unfortunately for Benjamin he was unable to succeed in said task, as Van Winkle ended Shelton's Television Title dreams by hitting the Royal Splash after a series of german suplexes. After the match, "The Prince of Wrestling" said that this was the first of three wins he'll be collecting in the next couple of weeks, and he will soon add another crown to his collection. (89)

Winner: Robert Van Winkle

Time: 8:47

(Robert Van Winkle advances to the semi-finals)

----COMMERCIAL BREAK----

Backstage, Jerry Lynn is shown sitting down with definite signs of pain. He has bandages all over his face and hand, but with all this the only expression you can see is pure anger. Lynn turns to the camera and says this message goes out to "that bastard" Steve Corino. Lynn says that if he wanted a fight, all he had to do was ask for one. Lynn challenges him to a match at Pushing The Limits, and says that since Corino likes to fight outside of the ring, the match will be a Falls Count Anywhere Match. Lynn finishes by telling Corino he'll see him in the ring in 2 weeks. (59)

Steve Michael Payton is backstage with "Heart Throb" Michael Shane. Shane is furious over Paul London's involvement in his PXW Title match last week, and blames his loss soley on London. Although London never touched Shane, he believes that in that important of a match he should of stayed away from the ring and not have gotten involved. Shane explains that London made a terrible decision, because with him (Shane) winning the Title, and being in the middle of this rivalry with London, he could have easily gotten a title shot, as a Michael Shane/Paul London title match would have drawn in big numbers. Shane then promises that for every title match London participates in in PXW, Shane will be right there to make sure he fails to win. To end his interview, Shane says that after he beats AJ Styles tonight, he'll show why he deserves a second title shot, and not Styles. (77)

----COMMERCIAL BREAK----

Billy Kidman and Jonny Storm v. Guido Soprano and Tony Mamaluke

Before the match, clips of last weeks miscommunication between Guido and Mamaluke are shown. If you missed it, Mamaluke accidentally hit Guido instead of Colt Cabana, causing Guido to lose to the young rookie. Soprano and Mamaluke were hoping for better results in their tag match tonight, but, the outcome was more similar than different to that of last weeks. With Storm and Mamaluke the legal men in the ring, Storm crawled his way over to get the tag and send in Kidman, while Mamaluke desperately reached his corner. As he reached out to tag the hand of Guido, Guido turned his back and began debating with the front row. Kidman ran over and dragged the tired Mamaluke to the other end of the ring, hitting a shooting star splash to score the win. After the match, as Mamaluke pleaded for an explanation, Guido walked away from his partner and out of fans' sight. (88)

----COMMERCIAL BREAK----

A common sound to the PXW fans, the sound of a cash register, plays over the loud speaker as the Tag Team Champions The Millionaires Club make their way to the ring to the usuall array of boos. Kid Kash sarcastically congratulates Simon Diamond and Swinger on their win last week, and says since they got the win, they will get their title shot at Pushing The Limits. As for now though, Kash says he'll give Swinger a preview of their now scheduled title match on PPV. Diamond and Swinger's music hits, and Swinger comes to the ring, followed closely by Simon Diamond. (77)

Swinger v. Kid Kash

In an attempt to try and possibly weaken the challengers chances of decrowning the Champions, Kid Kash tried to do as much damage to Swinger as possible while he had the chance. Kash was not as fortunate as he hoped for, as he and Brian Kendrick's attempts to draw a double team on Swinger were haulted by a tremendous referee performance (Yes, thats right. A tremendous reffing job.) Finally disgusted with their inability to cheat their way to a victory, Kendrick stormed over the ref and deliberately scored a disqualification. Diamond was not slow at all to even the sides, which resulted in a brawl eventually won by Diamond and Swinger when The Millionaires Club called it quits and high tailed it out of the ring. (85)

Winner, by DQ: Swinger

Time: 12:51

----COMMERCIAL BREAK----

Paul London v. Sean O'Haire

World Television Title Tournament / First Round

In the final first round match in this search to crown the first ever Television Champion, "The American Hero" Paul London, backed by practically the entire arena, battled Sean O'Haire, who brought along tag partner and fellow Syndicate member Michael Shane along with him. With Sanders certainly getting in the way of London's match, London decided to take care of him himself, and hit a splash on Sanders from the top rope onto the ringside floor. This almost cost him the match however, as it gave O'Haire the chance to recooperate. But, when O'Haire attempted to powerbomb the opposition, London countered it with a hurricanranna and a cover for the win. (79)

Winner: Paul London

Time: 14:06

(Paul London advances to the semi-finals)

Steve Corino is backstage with Steve Michael Payton. Corino announces that he accepts Jerry Lynn's challenge, and says that he'll make sure that after the next beating he gives Lynn, Lynn won't be able to challenge anyone to another match ever again. (84)

----COMMERCIAL BREAK----

AJ Styles v. Michael Shane

A bitter Michael Shane walked to the ring angered that AJ Styles would be getting another shot at the PXW Title while he had to wait on the back burner. Styles looked very much impressive in this match, taking his game to the air while Michael Shane's aerial asault was limited by Styles quick minded counters. With Shane knocked out after a dropkick which hit him square in the chin, Styles called for the Styles Clash. As he got him up and was ready to drop the "Heart Throb", Styles opponent at Pushing The Limits, PXW Champion Christopher Daniels came to ringside. Styles let Shane down and left the ring to go after Daniels. As Styles began walking towards Daniels, Daniels backed up further and further away. Finally, the bell rang, and as Styles turned around to the ring, the ref had counted to 10 and was raising the winner, Michael Shane's, hand. Shane finally decided to get a few extra shots in on Styles, and he and Daniels began a double team. Luckily, Paul London was not too far, and came to Styles aid. It was too little too late though, as the damage had been done. (83)

A good show. Im enjoying the Shane - London fued the most, though it seems obvious that London will get to the final and Shane will take revenge as he said he would, so hopefully you've got a suprise in store.

The Lynn fued aint really appealing to me so far but we'll see. And i'd like to see more of RVW, he seems like an intresting wrestler that we know nothing about. Excellent Show

[Guest RTO]

Due to the numerous demands to learn more about Robert Van Winkle, I decided it'd be a good idea to start giving bios to all the major workers in PXW. This month, we will be featuring, of course, Robert Van Winkle. Enjoy.

Name: Robert Van Winkle

AKA: RVW; Prince of Wrestling

Robert Van Winkle is one of the most popular PXW stars, even though he only debuted less than 4 months ago. Bursting onto the scene with his snobby personality, R-V-Dub calls himself "The Prince of Wrestling" as well as dresses himself in royal attire including a robe and crown while carrying a diamond covered cane. After a win he often poses by pointing to himself, and always enters and leaves the ring after kicking the dirt off of his boots. Van Winkle currently finds himself in search of winning his first PXW Title, and we all know he won't be getting any less cocky if he is successful in doing so.

Dark Match

American Dragon gets the victory over Johnny Jeter after hitting a Dragon Driver for the pinfall. (6:31 / 77)

---------------

The show begins with none other than PXW Champion Christopher Daniels coming to the ring, surprisingly without the rest of The Syndicate. Daniels announces that he can barely wait for Pushing The Limits, and calls out AJ Styles, who is not slow at all in coming out. After Styles gets his applause, Daniels tells him to come to the ring, but as Styles begins his walk, Mike Sanders and Sean O'Haire come up from behind him and begin to beat him down. After about half a minute of being stomped on, Daniels leaves the ring and walks closer to Styles. He puts on foot on his chest and stares down at Styles saying "See you Sunday." (88)

----COMMERCIAL BREAK----

The Briscoes v. The Rising Sons

The newest team of Ikaitia Loa and Keiji Sakota, properly named the Rising Sons, made their debut as a team facing off against Jay and Mark Briscoe. The Briscoes, who have yet to make much of a name for themselves here at PXW, were caught a bit off guard at Loa and Sakota's non-stop-high-risktaking, but they were able to control the Sons and keep them on the ground long enough for Jay to score a pinfall on Ikaitia after a top rope backbody drop. (84)

Winners: The Briscoes

Time: 11:31

----COMMERCIAL BREAK----

A video package is shown of the recent events setting up for Sunday night's awaited Falls Count Anywhere match between Jerry Lynn and Steve Corino. The package ends with Corino announcing he accepts Lynn's challenge, and the match gets a good response from the crowd, who seem to be looking forward to the brawl at Pushing The Limits. (86)

Low Ki v. Derrick King

Coming off of a disapointing first round loss to Donovan Morgan in the Television Title Tournament, Low Ki looked to get himself back on the winning track. Tonight he was up against the up-and-coming Derrick King. Low Ki put a hurting on the young gun, pounding in kick after kick until King looked ready to call off the match. Finally, as King rested helplessly on his knees, Ki landed a huge foot across his chest, knocking the wind out of King long enough to score the pinfall. (69)

Winner: Low Ki

Time: 8:42

----COMMERCIAL BREAK----

Robert Van Winkle came to the ring a litte early for his match, early enough to chat himself up. Winkle began talking about how much honor and prestigue he would bring to the Television Title after he won it, and that out of all the competitors in the tournament, he easily was the most deserving of the championship belt. At one point he even noted that the other 7 men shouldnt of even bothered being in the tournament, as the winner was chosen as soon as "The Prince of Wrestling" was put in it. As R-V-dub went into talking about Donovan Morgan, his opponent in the following match's music hit and Van Winkle was cut short. (77)

Donovan Morgan v. Robert Van Winkle

Television Title Tournament / Semi-Finals

If it's any triumph at all, Donovan Morgan does seem to be one of the more liked members of the Sydicate. It may have been the fact that he was going up against one of the more hated members of the PXW roster, but Donovan did seem to receive a decent pop as he came to the ring, interupting Van Winkle's self promotion. This set off a fire under the feet of Van Winkle, and his rage was the outline of the entire match. Van Winkle punished Morgan, who had no members of The Syndicate with him, which may not have been a good choice. Winkle finishes off the match with not one, but two Royal Splashes. After the match he grabbed a mic and screamed at Morgan, "Don't you ever interupt The Prince while he's speaking! (61)

Winner: Robert Van Winkle

Time: 10:41

(Robert Van Winkle advances to Television Title Match)

----COMMERCIAL BREAK----

Guido Soprano, led to the sounds of the Godfather theme, comes to the ring. For the past week fans have been wondering why he turned on his partner Tony Mamaluke, and as soon as it was promised they would find out tonight, they were waiting for the arrival of Soprano. As Guido explains his reasons, he claims that he was carrying Mamaluke throughout the tag teams whole PXW career, and that every loss the team suffered, it was because of Mamaluke's own mistakes, not his. He also added that Mamaluke costing him his match against Billy Kidman was the final straw. Guido finished by challenging his former partner to match at Pushing The Limits, which was quickly accepted by Mamaluke as he announced on the big screen. Guido finished by saying this match will prove who the real wrestler in the tag team was. (73)

----COMMERCIAL BREAK----

Steve Michael Payton is standing backstage with Simon Diamond and Swinger, who hope to become 2-Time Tag Team Champions this upcoming Sunday when they face current Champions The Millionaires Club. Diamond tells Kash and Kendrick that if they are expecting them to try and cheat their way to retaining their titles, and are planning to see The H. Effect near by. Swinger finishes by reminding the Champions that last week he beat one half of their team, and that that match is just a foreshadow of Sunday's Tag Team Title match. (65)

Paul London v. Elix Skipper

Television Title Tournament / Semi-Finals

The winner of this match will go on to face Robert Van Winkle in the tournament final at Pushing The Limits to decide who will become the Television Champion. Skipper and London have had a history of great matches in PXW, and this one will be added to the list. With Skipper looking as though he had the win in the bag, he set London up for the Elixion, but London countered and flipped him over his back. As Elix jumped to his feet and ran towards London, "The American Hero" ducked a clothesline and came back with a dropkick of his own. London then went to the top rope where he hit a moonsault for the victory. (86)

Winner: Paul London

Time: 12:01

(Paul London advances to Television Title Match)

----COMMERCIAL BREAK----

Eddie Guerrero v. Lance Storm

The fans were given a great treat in tonights main event. This one was Mexico v. Canada, as both men brought their respective flags to the ring with them. An all around terrific technical match as both men displayed their great mat skills with takedowns, counters, and a assortment of suplexes. Eddie Guerrero looked like he had the match won, but decided rather than going right for his finishing frog splash, he would celebrate before hand. As Guerrero finally made his way to the top turnbuckle and jumped, Storm moved out of harms way. Storm quickly grabbed Guerrero's leg and locked him into his signature Canadian Crab, but as Guerrero fought and fought and looked like he was about to submit, the bell rang. The ring announcer announced the time had ran out, and the match was forced to end in a draw. And upset Storm argued with the ref, claiming Eddie was about to quit when the bell rang and that he should have gotten the win, but the ref ignored his arguement and left the ring as the show ended.

PXW Tag Team Titles

The Millionaires Club© v. Simon Diamond and Swinger

After a cheap victory at SnowBrawl 2006 landed The Millionaires Club the PXW World Tag Team Championships, Simon Diamond and Swinger have done nothing but fight back in order to gain a rematch in an effort to win back their precious gold. After landing a DQ win over The H. Effect, a monster of a team which was hand-picked by Kash and Kendrick, The Millionaires Club had no choice but to follow through on their promise and give them a title shot. Since then, Swinger defeated Kid Kash, once again, however, in DQ fashion in a match which resulted in a 4-Man brawl won by the challegers Diamond and Swinger. Tonight, it's anyones game. Diamond and Swinger have a chance to become 2 time PXW Tag Team Champions, where Kid Kash and Brian Kendrick plan on making their title run last more than just 1 month.

Guido Soprano v. Tony Mamaluke

It sure has been a rocky road for the team of Guido Soprano and Tony Mamaluke here at PXW. With constant failed tries to capture the tag team titles, as well as numerous loses to seemingly easy opponents, only time could tell when these two would finally part ways. That time came 2 weeks ago on Fight Night. In the middle of a tag team match with Billy Kidman and Jonny Storm, Guido turned his back on his partner as he desperately tried to make the tag. To add insult to injury, rather than explaining himself, he simply walked away from his confused partner. A week later, Guido announced he was carrying the team on his back, and wished to fight Tony Mamaluke to settle once and for all, who the real wrestler of the team was.

PXW Television Title Tournament Final

Paul London v. Robert Van Winkle

Coming off the excitement of landing a TV deal with NBC, PXW officials thought it was time to finally invent a secondary singles title, rightfully named the PXW Television Title. With the title vacant, Commissioner Ric Flair announced an 8-Man tournament to span over the next 3 weeks of Fight Night and conclude at Pushing The Limits. With two men remaining, "The American Hero" Paul London and "The Prince of Wrestling" Robert Van Winkle, the title is guaranteed to go to a deserving contender. With both men both coming off of 2 wins, Robert Van Winkle has to be seen as the favorite, after Michael Shane's promise to Paul London that he would never let London win a Championship. The winner of this match will go down in history as the first ever PXW Television Champion, and as champion, is expected to defend the title at atleast two televised events every month.

Falls Count Anywhere Match

Jerry Lynn v. Steve Corino

At the inaugural Fight Night, Jerry Lynn took advantage of a misplaced purse swing from Corino's manager Francine in order to secure a victory over "The Rebel." From then on, it's been nothing but bad blood from these two, climaxing at a vicious sneak attack in a backstage locker room a week after Corino's loss. Due to Corino's fascination of taking his business out of the ring, Lynn challenged Corino not only to a match, but a match where Corino would be able to take anywhere and score a pinfall from anywhere from the bathroom to the 18th row. In Corino's acception speech, he vowed that after this match Lynn would never be able to challenge anyone again.

#1 Contendership for the PXW Championship

Eddie Guerrero v. Lance Storm

Just last week on Fight Night, Eddie Guerrero and Lance Storm battled an amazing match that ended in a draw due to time elapsing. And angered Storm was sure he made Guerrero submit, but the referee stuck to his decision, which was the right decision, and the match remained a draw. Upon seeing this, Commissioner Ric Flair was impressed by both of their performances, and has decided to give these two a place on the PPV card. Not only that, but he added in that the winner would be awarded the #1 Contendership, and win the rights to face the PXW Champion at next months PPV (Which has yet to be named at this time.)

PXW Title

Christopher Daniels© v. AJ Styles

The main event at Pushing The Limits features the PXW Champion Christopher Daniels defending his gold against AJ Styles. With Daniels upset over not being booked in the first TV show, Ric Flair scheduled him in a triple threat match the following week against AJ Styles and Michael Shane. Christopher Daniels escaped the triple threat with his title safe and sound, but a week later AJ Styles argued that since he never got pinned (Michael Shane got rolled up for the pinfall) he deserves another shot at Daniels, 1-on-1. Daniels agreed to face him at the PPV, which leads us to what should be one of Christopher Daniels' most important defenses in his already 8 months reign as champion.
