XCW Evolution Of The Revolution

Broadcast live from the Great American Ballpark in Cincinnati, Ohio

Dark Match: 999 vs. Heavy D

999 charges in, only to be caught by Heavy D, who hits a Fallaway Slam. 999 gets up in time to see Heavy D charging, and delivers a Hip Toss. Heavy D nails a Backbreaker into a pin. 999 kicks out right as the ref counts 2. Heavy D picks up 999 and executes a headbutt, then gloats. Big mistake, because when he turns around, 999 hits a Spear and starts punching him in the face. 999 covers after about 4 punches. Hooks the leg, but Heavy D gets his shoulder up just as the ref begins to count. Heavy D hits a Powerbomb, then hooks the leg. 1....2....NO! 999 gets his shoulder up just in the nick of time. Heavy D puts 999 down with a short-arm Clothesline, then reaches down to pick him up. Just as Heavy D starts to grab him, 999 hits a Mule Kick! 999 gets up and executes a perfect Flying Elbow Smash! Heavy D starts to get up, but he's still dazed. 999 is ready for it....3-Digit Death! 1...2...3! Winner: 999 at 5:42

The Show

The camera opens up on a shot of the outside of the stadium, before going into a montage of action shots of various wrestlers who will be competing tonight. It includes footage of Nash and Animal's attack on `Demented' Danny Dawson, and ends with footage of Sting locking the Scorpion Deathlock on Animal as Nash climbs back into the ring (being sure to show no shots of La Parka from that match).

After the opening, the camera switches to show the crowd inside the stadium, and the ring. It looks like there's been a special set designed for this match, with a silver XCW logo hanging from the structures supporting the lights over the ring, and the XCW Xtremetron hanging over the entranceway. The ring's skirt is green, with `Evolution Of The Revolution' written out in blue and silver, and a blue, red and silver XCW logo on the canvas.

Joey Styles and Dave Meltzer appear to be in a short tower of some kind (about 15 feet off the ground), overlooking the ring. They have seats facing a counter, instead of being seated at a table.

Some pyro (nothing real elaborate, though) goes off to start the show.....

Joey Styles: "Welcome, fans, to Xtreme Combat Wrestling's first ever Pay-Per-View, Evolution Of The Revolution, from The Great American Ball Park in Cincinnati, Ohio! Tonight, we will see the first ever XCW World Heavyweight Champion crowned, as `Big Sexy' Kevin Nash and Sting face off in a Tables match!" (pauses) "Or, in other words....Its all good, if you make your opponent taste some wood!"

(Dave looks as if he's about to groan from hearing that)

Dave Meltzer: "Its time to get the first match of the night underway, as Ayako Hamada and Gail Kim face off, as a result of Gail Kim sticking her nose in where it didn't belong during a match between Ayako and Victoria recently. XCW owner Brian Floyd thought about making this a 3-way match, but decided not to, and actually flipped a coin to decide who Gail Kim would face, believe it or not!"

Joey Styles: "Word is, he actually made it best 2 out of 3 flips. But tonight's match is NOT a best 2 out of 3 falls match, however. Whoever gets the first and only pin gets the win."

Ayako Hamada vs. Gail Kim

Ayako Hamada has an elaborate entrance, with some blue and white pyros and entrance music by Japanese pop star T.M. Revolution. Gail Kim, by contrast, comes out to generic production music, but has a fairly decent entrance that also includes some pyros.

The bell rings, and Gail Kim goes for a Flying Elbow, but Ayako moves out of the way. Gail Kim hits a high kick that barely connects. She tries again, but Ayako blocks the kick and whips Gail Kim into the corner. Handspring into a corner Splash by Ayako, who goes for a pin. 1....2....shoulder up! Gail Kim knocks Ayako down with a legsweep from out of nowhere, then hits a dropkick when Ayako gets up. Pin attempt: 1....tw...kickout! Dangerous DDT by Hamada, who goes for a pin. Gail Kim kicks out just as the ref counts 2. Arm Drag by Gail Kim. Hook-up, then an Arm-Drag by Ayako. Gail Kim breaks free from a standing Armlock. Hurricanrana attempt by Gail Kim is blocked by Ayako, who falls on her back, tossing Gail Kim face-first into the canvas. Ayako waits for Gail Kim to get up and whips her into the corner. AYA-CHAN CUTTER!!!! 1-2-3! Ayako plays to the crowd as Gail gets up and starts throwing a tantrum, punching the canvas. Winner: Ayako Hamada

Sting is backstage. He gets on the stick and says a few choice words about Kevin Nash, saying it doesn't matter what Nash tries, because tonight Nash won't be leaving with the belt! - 94%

6-Man Tag Match - Mexico's Most Wanted and Pierroth Jr vs. Jerry Lynn and 2 mystery partners

MMW and Pierroth Jr hit the ring and wait for their opponents. Jerry Lynn comes out by himself and waits at ringside. A few seconds later, some rap music hits. IT'S KONNAN AND KILLINGS! Konnan and Ron `The Truth' Killings come out, doing a new version of Killings' old K-Kwik theme from the WWF, `Rowdy'. The crowd are eating it up. After they finish, they drop their mics and hit the ring. The two teams exchange handshakes and wait for the bell to ring.

Pierroth Jr and The Truth start off the match. After they feel each other out a few times, they hook up and Pierroth Jr hits a vertical suplex on Killings. He follows up by....tagging in Halloween?! Halloween hits a back heel kick, followed by a dropkick as Killings gets up, and goes for a pin. 1....2....shoulder up, just as Konnan starts to step in to interfere. Konnan moves back into place. Tag to Damien 666, and Halloween whips Killings into the corner, then whips Damien 666 into a hard corner clothesline. Killings falls flat. Legsweep by Killings, who blocks a right hand by Damien 666 and counters with one of his own. He hits a dropkick, and tags in Konnan. Neckbreaker by Konnan, followed up with a running clothesline when Damien 666 gets back up. Pin attempt: 1....2....Pierroth Jr kicks Konnan in the head to break the pin! Konnan hits a running knee lift, then tags in Jerry Lynn at the same time Damien 666 tags in Pierroth Jr. Jerry Lynn hits a hard back suplex on Pierroth Jr, then rolls him up for the pin. 1....2...Pierroth Jr grabs the ropes with a free hand to break the pin! Headlock by Lynn for a few seconds, then he executes a stalling suplex on Pierroth Jr and tags in Ron Killings. Missile Dropkick off the turnbuckle by Killings! Damien 666 charges in to save Pierroth Jr, but Jerry Lynn cuts him off with a Shining Wizard! TRUTH OR CONSEQUENCES! 1-2-3!!! Konnan and Killings exchange handshakes with Halloween, Damien 666, and Pierroth Jr, but Lynn is having none of it. He climbs a turnbuckle and raises his arms in victory, then heads off backstage without even looking back. Winners: Konnan\Killings\Lynn at 7:44

Joey Styles: "I still can't believe that Mr. Floyd managed to sign Konnan and Killings! If they wrestle like they did tonight, they may very well be a dominant force in XCW!"

Dave Meltzer: "Well, if you couldn't believe those signings, then wait and see who the mystery competitor in our next match is! I just found out about 15 minutes before showtime, and I'm still not believing it!"

XCW Cruiserweight Title Match - Lash LeRoux vs. Ultimo Dragon vs. Juventud Guerrera vs....a mystery competitor - Elimination Match

Lash LeRoux, Ultimo Dragon, and Juventud Guerrera each enter separately, with appropriate and somewhat elaborate entrances. They wait a few seconds for their opponent, who enters wearing a hood and jacket.

Joey Styles (heard, not seen): "OH MY GOD!!! ITS AJ STYLES!!!!"

(AJ Styles is wearing green and black gear, in case anyone is wondering)

The match starts, and Lash LeRoux hits a rolling kick on Juvi. Covers, but Juvi kicks out quickly. Dropkick by LeRoux, followed by an Arm Drag after Juvi gets up. They exchange a few punches, before LeRoux puts Juvi down with a Hurricanrana and tags in Ultimo Dragon. DDT by Ultimo, who then hits a back heel kick off the second rope. Juvi kisses the canvas. Pin. 1....2....NO! KICKOUT! Legsweep by Ultimo, who tags in AJ Styles. Juvi dodges a roundhouse kick and tags in Lash LeRoux. LeRoux hits a stiff high kick, then goes for a suplex, but AJ Styles blocks it. Running DDT off the top rope by Styles. Pin. 1....2....3. LeRoux eliminated by Styles at 3:00 exactly! Juvi beats Ultimo to stepping into the ring. Super Kick by the Juice, who hooks the leg. 1....2...shoulder up!

STYLES CLASH!!! 1....2....3! Aj Styles is handed the belt by the referee, and plays to the crowd for a bit after raising the belt into the air. Winner: AJ Styles - Pinned Juventud Guerrera at 7:44

Valeria Cage is backstage on the mic. She puts herself over, promising to keep the fans entertained and the wrestlers in line, as long as she has authority. The fans eat it up. - 84%

Joey Styles: The next match was ordered by XCW owner Brian Floyd as punishment for Hall's inteference last week in a match where Nash would have been fired had he interfered. As a result, Hall has to team with Animal tonight, then face his own partner Kevin Nash in a 30-minute Iron Man match next Friday!

Terry Funk and `Demented' Danny Dawson vs. Road Warrior Animal and Scott Hall

No entrances, as this is a grudge match and everyone wants to get to kicking ass. Hall and 3D start out. Hall offers a test of strength, but 3D fakes Hall out and hits a Headbutt instead of hooking up. He follows up with a clothesline. Pin only gets 2. 3D tags in Funk. The two whip Hall into a corner and put the boots to him. Funk raises Hall up and hits a couple of chops to the chest before kicking him in the gut. The two trade several punches, but Hall eventually blocks one and returns one of his own, sending Funk to the mat. Hall tags in Animal. Animal whips Terry Funk into the ropes and hits a Powerslam. He raises Funk up and whips him into the ropes again, but this time Funk eats a BIG BOOT! Pin attempt, but Funk kicks out on 2 and 1/2. Funk counters a backdrop attempt by kicking Animal in the face. Moonsault by Funk. 1....2....Hall hits Funk in the back with an Elbow Drop to break the pin. Back elbow by Funk, who tags in 3D. Bodyslam by Danny, and Animal is in trouble. He barely manages to tag in Hall. 3D is waiting for him, and hits a spinning Neckbreaker on Hall. Flying Cross Body by 3D, but Hall catches him. Hall sets up for a Fallaway Slam, but Dawson powers out of it. Hall is confused. Too bad for him, because....DAWSON DRIVER! Animal steps in to try and break the pin, but Funk cuts him off. 1....2....3! Funk and 3D celebrate the win, going through the crowd and exchanging high-fives as they head to the back.Winners: Dawson\Funk at 8:45

Joey Styles: "An amazing finish! I think most people probably expected Scott Hall and Animal to win this one. But tonight, we may have seen the birth of a bright new star in `Demented' Danny Dawson!"

Dave Meltzer: "Dawson looked as if he wanted to tear Animal's head off tonight. Frankly, I'm surprised he didn't go after Animal once the match ended. I know I would have, if that had been me who Nash and Animal had put through a table!"

Joey Styles: "And speaking of tables, that cowardly act on the part of Kevin Nash and Road Warrior Animal...." (footage of the attack on 3D that ended with him going through the craft services table is shown) "...is what led to the stipulation for tonight's main event. Sting and Kevin Nash will face off, and the first to put their opponent through a table will be declared XCW's first World Heavyweight Champion!"

Main Event - XCW World Heavyweight Championship - Table Match - Kevin Nash vs. Sting

Sting and Nash start trading punches. Nash whips Sting onto a table and goes for a Piledriver, but Sting backdrops out of it. Back elbow by Sting staggers Nash. Sting hits a flying elbow, then a second rope bulldog. Nash grabs Sting and tries to Suplex Sting through a table, but Sting reverses it and Suplexes Nash instead (although, not through a table). Full Nelson Slam by Nash. Sting throws a few punches Nash's way. Tornado Punch by Nash stuns Sting. Nash follows up with a Sidewalk Slam. Nash whips Sting into the ropes. BIG BOOT!!! Nash sets Sting onto a table, then goes for a Flying Elbow Drop. Sting rolls off the table, and Nash goes through. Match continues, since Sting didn't actually put Nash through the table. Brawling, then Nash goes for a Piledriver on Sting. Ouch! Nash tries to execute another, but Sting low blows Nash. Clothesline by Sting, who whips Nash into the corner. Stinger Splash, and Nash goes down. Sting eats a clothesline from Nash, who whips him into a corner and puts the boot to Sting's face. Sting falls down into the corner. Nash goes and sets a table in the opposite corner, then goes over and lifts Sting, then whips him. STING REVERSES! Nash hits the table with enough force to break it! Match over! Sting is awarded the XCW World Heavyweight Championship, and celebrates, playing to the crowd as `Seek And Destroy' begins to play. Winner: Sting at 15:46

Joey Styles: "Tonight, we've seen 3 new members join XCW, two champions crowned, and perhaps a new superstar begin to rise."

Dave Meltzer: "Nash is going to have one heck of a headache once he wakes up."

Joey Styles: "Ummm....yeah." (pauses) "We hope you've enjoyed tonight's show. Be sure to join us this Friday for Xtreme Combat Wrestling Friday Night Fury, only on MTV2!"

Various shots of different spots from the PPV are shown, then the camera fades to black after showing Nash lying in the ring, unconscious after going through the table, then a quick shot of Sting hoisting the belt in the air and mouthing the word `Showtime!'

Notice posted on the XCW website:

"Due to the rigors of tonight's main event, and that it wouldn't be fair to make Kevin Nash go through two exhausting matches in a row, even with 5 days' rest in between, I am hereby changing his match against Scott Hall for the next Friday Night Fury from a 30-Minute Iron Man match to an I Quit match!

Other previously announced matches may also be changed, but will NOT be announced until showtime.

Congratulations to tonight's performers, and to the champions in particular. You all did a great job!"

--Brian Floyd, XCW Owner

(I'll post some notes and the card for the next tv show later. Incidentally, I have all the FNF episodes through #6 played already, and episodes through #8 planned out.)

[sirdavinator]

Dennis Harris is really treated as a jobber...*petitons for him to come out more often*

[Grimlock]

I wanna see more of Violent Conduct

Great job so far, keep up the great work

[GhostMachine]

Well, I've done everything through the second PPV (which is called Supah Powah) and FNF episode #8 in the game. The second PPV is in the middle of August.

I just need to write everything out and post.

As for the previous comments:

sirdavinator: Hate to break it to you, but....Dennis Harris IS a jobber! In fact, most of the wrestlers that were submitted are either jobbers or openers, because everyone chose to spend more points on wrestling skills or charisma than on overness, and XCW is a Global fed. When I get a second tv series (I submitted a tape to ESPN2. Keep your fingers crossed), I plan on pushing the submitted wrestlers more. If I had a higher PI (I set it low, because I knew I'd lose a war with the WWE), I'd be more than happy to push the wrestlers more often.

Grimlock: Patience, Grasshopper. I'm holding off a bit until I form a second stable, so they'll have someone to feud with. (And say hello to the other Dinobots for me, willya? )

I planned on pushing some of the submitted wrestlers on one of the episodes of FNF that I already simmed, but unfortunately, NWATNA rose to Global and I ended up at war with them, so I had to push other workers to keep from losing PI. Fortunately, NWATNA has dropped back to National, so I'll be pushing some of the submitted wrestlers a bit in episodes #8 (which I've already simmed) and #9 of Friday Night Fury.

XCW Friday Night Fury Episode 4

The show opens with footage of the Cruiserweight and World Heavyweight title matches from the PPV, before `Fast Like A Bullet' begins to play and an action montage airs. After the XCW Friday Night Fury logo appears, the show opens up on the crowd at the XCW Arena, who are pumped for action. Then it switches to Joey Styles and Dave Meltzer at the announce table.

Joey Styles: "Welcome to XCW Friday Night Fury. The crowd here is pumped! And after what went down at Evolution Of The Revolution, they very well should be!"

Dave Meltzer: "That's right, Joey. And two new champions were crowned that night. Unfortunately, due to some personal commitments, Sting won't be in action tonight. But the new Cruiserweight champ, AJ Styles, will be!"

Meanwhile, backstage....

Kevin Nash is on the mic. He is livid about having to wrestle Scott Hall in an I Quit match, and badmouths XCW owner Brian Floyd, without saying anything that will get him in real trouble.

Jason Kintro vs. Johnny Stylez

Kintro nails Stylez with a few good forearm shots, sending him to the mat. Second rope splash, but Stylez gets his knees up. While Kintro is holding his ribs in pain, Stylez slaps on a Reverse Leg Lock. Kintro doesn't tap, and Stylez is forced to break the hold. Kintro walks into a stiff Lariat. He's lucky he didn't get his head knocked off! Stylez charges in, but Kintro moves, and Stylez hits the ref instead! Stylez hits a tiger suplex on Kintro, but the ref is still out. Stylez slides out of the ring and grabs a chair, then slides back in. Kintro blocks a chair shot, then jerks the chair out of Stylez's hands. It looks like Kintro is going to throw away the chair, but he pauses for a second then blasts Stylez over the head with it, then tosses it out of the ring. Ref is up, but didn't see the chair shot. Gutbuster on Kintro by Stylez. Stylez goes for an Elbow Drop, but Kintro moves out of the way. Kintro scores with a face jam bulldog. Pin. 1....2...NO! Kickout! Stylez tries to climb the top rope, but Kintro goes after him. OH MY GOD! Belly to Belly Suplex off the top rope! Stylez looks completely out of it! Pin. 1....2....Stylez kicks out at the last possible second. They start exchanging punches. Stylez blocks a shot, then delivers one of his own and Suplexes Kintro, turning it into a pin attempt. 1....2....th....shoulder up. Stylez and Kintro both go for clotheslines, but end up taking each other out. The ref starts counting. Kintro gets up on 5, Stylez at 8. Kintro is waiting for him....TRO-NADO! 1...2...3! Kintro wins! Stylez gets up, and they start fighting again. The end up disappearing into the crowd, still beating up on each other. Looks like this rivalry isn't over just yet. Winner: Jason Kintro at 6:43

Commercial Break.

Alicia Webb is backstage, putting over her client, Super Hentai. They both seem to be upset that he doesn't have a match tonight. - 80%

Joey Styles: "Next up, Gabriel Price has to defend the XCW Television title that he won last week, due to inteference by Fallen Angel. XCW owner Brian Floyd stated last week that, if the Torn Prince retains tonight, then Halloween not only gets a rematch next week, but also gets to pick the match! Incidentally, Price's opponent for this evening will be Halloween's tag team partner in Mexico's Most Wanted, Damien 666!"

XCW Television Title Match - Gabriel Price © vs. Damien 666

Price charges in, but ends up getting backdropped for his effort. Not much air on it, though. Damien 666 climbs the turnbuckle and hits a flying elbow drop before the Torn Prince can get to his feet. Pin attempt, but TTP kicks out on 2. Forearm shot to the face, followed by a Spinning Neckbreaker from Price. Cover, but Damien 666 gets his shoulder up just as the ref starts to count. Side Suplex by TTP. Price hits a running knee lift then goes for a legdrop, but Damien 666 rolls out of the way as soon as TTP starts to jump for the legdrop. Mexican Surfboard by Damien 666, but Price is too close to the ropes, so the ref makes Damien break the hold. Dropkick by Damien 666. Damien 666 applies a hammerlock, but TTP breaks it with an elbow to the face. Bodyslam by Price. Damien 666 gets back up, but Price is ready and grabs him for an Oklahoma Slam. Damien is stunned....LeVey Driver!!! 1-2-3! Price starts celebrating, then looks at the camera and makes a `come here' motion while mouthing `I'm ready for you, Halloween!' before leaving the ring with the Television title belt. Winner: Gabriel Price at 10:11

Dave Meltzer: "So it looks like Halloween will get his rematch. I wouldn't want to be Gabriel Price next week!"

Joey Styles: "Our next match is also a result of the actions from last week's Television match. Due to her inteference in last week's match, that resulted in Price walking away with the belt, Fallen Angel makes her in-ring debut this week, in a 4-corners match!" (pauses) "In other words, I wouldn't want to be Fallen Angel THIS week, Dave!"

4 Corners Match - Ayako Hamada vs. Fallen Angel vs. Gail Kim vs. Victoria

Ayako Hamada and Gail Kim start the match. Gail Kim hits a rolling kick on Hamada, and Hamada retaliates with a spinning roundhouse kick. Gail Kim goes for a cross body, but Ayako catches her and dumps her to the mat. 1...2...kickout! Gail Kim tags in Victoria. Flying knee to the face (not *quite* a Shining Wizard) by Victoria.

Victoria grabs Fallen Angel and hits a Sidewalk Slam. Slingshot clothesline by Victoria, who tags in Ayako Hamada. Fallen Angel tries to tag in Gail Kim, but Hamada drags Fallen Angel to the middle of the ring by her legs. Sleeper hold on Fallen Angel, who is still down on the mat. Fallen Angel raises her arm on the third lift. Hamada lets go. Both women get up, but Hamada hits an Enzugiri. Fallen Angel whips Hamada into the corner, then walks over. But Ayako grabs Fallen Angel and throws her into the corner when she walks over. Here is comes....AYAKO-CHAN CUTTER! 1...2....3! Winner: Ayako Hamada at 7:24

A previously recorded promo airs. Sting is backstage, with the World Heavyweight Title belt over his shoulder. He opens up by apologizing for not being able to be there tonight, then spends time putting himself over. But he also thanks Floyd and Cage for giving him the opportunity in the first place. - 100% (WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!!!!)

Ladder Match for the XCW Cruiserweight Title - AJ Styles © vs. Jerry Lynn

Lynn tries to whips Styles into the ladder, which is already set up in a corner. But Styles reverses. Running dropkick into the corner by Styles, driving Lynn's back into the ladder.

They both start exchanging punches, and end up knocking each other off. Styles throws Lynn into the ropes, and Lynn's leg gets trapped. Styles climbs the ladder. Lynn gets his leg free, but its too late. AJ Styles has the belt. Juventud Guerrera comes out of the audience and goes after Styles. They start exchanging punches.

XCW Main Event - Kevin Nash vs. Scott Hall - `I Quit' Match

This match goes by waaaay too fast to be legit. Scott Hall hits a bulldog off the ropes. Hall whips Nash into the corner, but ends up eating a boot when he charges in. Nash helps Hall up...then whips him into the ropes. BIG BOOT!!! Sidewalk Slam by Nash. Stiff chops by both men. Hall backdrops Nash out of a Jackknife attempt. Hall ducks a wild right hand. Nash reverses a hip toss. Abdominal Stretch by Hall (yes, he uses the ropes for leverage). Nash powers out. Fallaway Slam by Hall. Neckbreaker and a Sidewalk Slam by Nash. Nash whips Hall into the corner, then does the face push with his boot spot. Snake Eyes turnbuckle drop by Nash, who lets Hall fall to the mat.

He helps Hall up, and the camera shows Hall smiling, too, for a split second before he starts selling the damage.Winner: Kevin Nash by Submission at 7:13

Joey Styles (sensing something is wrong): "Something is definitely wrong here...."

Dave Meltzer: "Well, we'll have to find out next week, because we're out of time. For Joey Styles, I'm Dave Meltzer. Please join us again next week."

Fade to black. (Metallica has nothing to do with this. )

Dennis Harris likes spotty matches and gorefests, so remember! Eeven if you get the second show, remember to at least put Dennis Harris in one of these!

So basically, you want him to be a Hardcore wrestler or Deathmatcher?

I'll keep that in mind if I ever decide to add a Hardcore division.

I can tell you this, sirdavinator and LivingLegend: Dennis Harris is in a match in episode #8. Rodz is in a match in episode #9.

(Already had episode #8 simmed when sirdavinator posted, but added Rodz to episode #9 after seeing LL's post)

Incidentally, I've got everything through episode #9 simmed, including the second monthly wrap-up.

One spoiler from the first and second monthly wrap-ups, which I haven't posted yet: E! and ESPN2 both said to try again in a few months, so there's still no second show. (I then sent a promo tape to the Playboy Channel)

ARGGGGHHHHh that's twice Kintro has beaten me.

Muahahaha! You cannot take on the Tro-nado! My head still hurts from those brass knux though.

[sirdavinator]

Yay. That makes it two matches in 9 episodes...

(This post doesn't have a match, or any new details in it. So you can skip reading it if you've got a wrestler on the roster and don't care about the other stuff.)

XCW Owner Logbook:

July 20, 2004 (Three days before Friday Night Fury Episode #5)

"Well, it seems we've got a small mess on our hands. Alan Northrup, who owns the building that serves as the XCW Arena, came to my office and decided to break the lease and kick us out. He invoked some loophole that lets him get away with it. We have until the end of the month to find a new base of operations. Fortunately, the loophole didn't let him keep the security deposit or the last month's rent, so he brought a sizeable check along with him.

I've already got some leads on a new site to serve as the XCW Arena, but I've also got some investigations going on. The reason that Mr. Northrup gave for breaking the lease seems a little flimsy. He's got to be up to something that he's not telling me....."

July 23, 2004 (Approximately 4 hours before Friday Night Fury Episode #5)

"It turns out that I was right. The private investigators that I hired discovered that we are the fourth business to occupy this building in the last two years. It seems Northrup has a habit of reneging on deals and breaking leases whenever it suits him. The investigators also found out that he lied about the reason he wanted us out, namely to start a used car lot. It seems that Northrup had seen how much money we were raking in, and has decided to start his own wrestling federation!

Our lawyers will try to put an end to that. In the meantime, I plan on doing some investigating of my own....."

(I'll try to have FNF Episode #5 up sometime later today, if I have the time.)

[GhostMachine]

XCW Friday Night Fury Episode 5

Instead of the usual montage of action shots, the show opens with footage of last week's main event. It shows the ending, then focuses in on a shot of Scott Hall smiling as Nash helps him up, before Hall starts selling the damage. The shot is closer up than what was seen on the actual show. Then the usual action montage, set to Fast Like A Bullet begins.....

The camera opens up on a shot of the crowd gathered in the XCW Arena, then switches to Joey Styles and Dave Meltzer at the announce table. Styles is nodding his head in disbelief.

Joey Styles: "If what we saw was true, then last week's main event was definitely a travesty." (pauses) "I'm Joey Styles, and with me as usual is Dave Meltzer. Welcome to XCW Friday Night Fury!"

Dave Meltzer: "And it looks like we're already set for the first match of the night...."

Levy's not close enough to the ropes, and ends up tapping! David Levy starts throwing a fit. Winner: Cade Sydal at 4:59

The camera opens up on a lounge area set aside for the wrestlers. In the background, Animal is drinking coffee while watching tv. The camera focuses in on Kevin Nash and Scott Hall, who are unaware that they are being filmed.

Nash: "We really put one over on the boss last week!"

Hall: "Yeah. Like I would tap out that fast! So much for our punishment!"

Nash: "What a moron!"

The camera cuts to XCW owner Brian Floyd's office. His assistant, Valeria Cage, is sitting at the desk and is watching Nash and Hall on closed circuit tv. She doesn't look amused. - 82%

Joey Styles (stunned): "Wow! I think Kevin Nash and Scott Hall are really going to be in hot water when Mister Floyd finds out about this!"

Dave Meltzer: "Indeed." (pauses) "Next up, Gabriel Price defends the XCW Television title belt. Now, if you remember, Price won the belt from Halloween due to interference by Fallen Angel. It was ruled that Price would keep the belt and defend it against Damien 666, Halloween's tag team partner. Price kept the belt, and now has to face Halloween. And Halloween gets to pick the type of match!"

Joey Styles: "Yes, and I've just received word that it will be a Ladder match!"

XCW Television Title Match - `The Torn Prince' Gabriel Price © vs. Halloween - Ladder Match

Price retains in what is pretty much a squash, surprisingly. Halloween spends too much time trying to brawl instead of trying to execute wrestling moves, but does manage to hit a dropkick early on and a springboard DDT a few seconds later. Match ends when Price blocks a punch, counters with one of his own, Halloween goes for a clothesline off the second step of the ladder but Price ducks, then grabs him and hits the LeVey Driver before climbing the ladder, then celebrating and taunting the crowd. Halloween leaves the ring in disgust. Winner: Gabriel Price at 5:48

The ref starts counting, and the two eventually realize what's going on and try to get back to the ring. Too late: Ref counts 10, just as they cross the barrier back into the ring area. Double Count Out at 7:10 - No Winner

Joey Styles: "We've just received word that XCW owner Brian Floyd wants to make an announcement."

Dave Meltzer: "I think Nash and Hall may be in big trouble...."

XCW owner Brian Floyd is in his office. Kevin Nash and Scott Hall walk in...

Floyd: "I want you two jokers to watch something...."

Mister Floyd replays Nash and Hall's conversation in the lounge. Nash and Hall looks shocked.

Floyd: "Now what do you have to say for yourselves?"

Nash starts to say something....

Floyd: "SHUT IT! I've had enough of your antics. So, I tell you what I'm going to do: You two are going to face Konnan and Ron Killings tonight, and if you lose...don't bother coming back next week. Or the week after that. Or the week after that. In fact, don't come back AT ALL!" (pauses) "And by the way, it will be....a Cage Match! Now GET THE HELL OUT OF MY SIGHT!!!!"

Joey Styles: "Speaking of which, be sure to join us next week for another action packed episode of Friday Night Fury...whereever its broadcast from that is!"

The following happens off-camera during the Television Title match:

XCW owner Brian Floyd is in his office, setting at his desk. Valeria Cage is seated nearby, and they are talking about something. Alan Northrup walks in, accompanied by three police officers.

Northrup (mad): "Okay, Mister Floyd, I agreed to extend the time you had to use this arena until this week like you asked. But these officers are here to make sure your people start cleaning out the building as soon as the show ends! I won't stand for this one minute more!"

Floyd (smiling): "Mister Northrup, I think you're going to be changing your tune in a minute. You see, I had some investigating done and found out something very interesting...."

(At that moment, Mister Charisma walks in. He has on his ring gear.)

Mister Charisma: "Before I became a professional wrestler, I was in the legal profession. And I still have a few contacts, who did some digging for me. You've been very naughty, Mister Northrup."

Floyd: "Simply put, we know about your plans to start up your own wrestling federation. Ultimate Chaos Wrestling ring a bell?"

Northrup (smiling smugly): "So? There's nothing you can do about that...."

Mister Charisma: "Oh, can't we? Its going to be awful hard to run UCW without a place to hold matches!" (pauses) "You see, I found out something very interesting: While you may own this building, you don't own the land its built on! You've been paying 30% of what Brian pays you in rent to pay the owner for use the land."

(Northrup starts to look uncomfortable)

Floyd: "I want you to take a look at this document..."

(Hands Northrup a piece of paper. Northrup pulls out a pair of reading glasses and put them on. He starts reading, and looks stunned a few seconds later. He quits reading and is flabbergasted.)

Floyd (smiling): "Simply put, I now own the land that this building is on. And I'm jacking up the rent by 1,000%, if you want to stay here. Otherwise, you have until the end of this month to move this building....if you can figure out how....or I'll have the building torn to the fucking ground and replaced by one of my own!" (pauses) "This isn't open to negotation!"

Valeria Cage (pointing at Northrup): "Officers, please escort that asshole off this property!"

(The cops grab Northrup, who is speachless, and haul him out of the room.)

Floyd (smiling): "That should fix the smug bastard!"

Mister Charisma: "I happen to know where we can get some big ass circus tents, if we have to use them...."

Floyd: "Might be necessary for a show or two, if I do have to have the building torn down. I can find us another place to use while we build a new arena."

[Guest Rubber Band Man]

I lose.... once again.......

[Hajjhowe]

At least you got booked:(

[GhostMachine]

RBM and Hajj: Quitchabitchin'!

Like I've said before:

1. I can't push (or use) everyone on every show, and I can't fill the cards with Jobbers and Openers, which is what most of the submitted wrestlers were. If I did, I'd lose major PI and drop to National level.

2. Once I get a second show, I will push (and use) the submitted wrestlers more.

I've got a Jason Kintro\Johnny Stylez feud going on, and I've only simmed about 5 or 6 matches between them so far. (I'm into month 4 right now - Just simmed the second FNF of October) Other than that, I'm waiting until I get a second show before starting any more feuds, and even then I won't start more feuds until I've had that second show going for a month.

Btw, after I get through Supah Powah, the next PPV, I *may* start posting two shows at a time for a bit, so I can get caught up with where I am in-game. (Or at least get closer, anyway)

Main Event - Terry Funk vs. Road Warrior Animal

Funk really takes it to Animal, as he is pissed off about Animal's interference last week. Featuring mostly brawling, highlights include: Funk hitting a headbutt on Animal that leaves him stunned and results in Funk almost getting a three-count (Animal kicks out just in time to avoid getting pinned), Animal blocking a suplex attempt and suplexing Funk instead, Funk kicking out on two after a wicked Full Nelson Slam that shakes the ring, Funk opening up Animal with another headbutt after delivering a few solid right hand shots, and Funk actually managing to kick out after a brutal sit out Powerbomb onto a steel chair from Animal. Funk ends up winning with the Spinning Toe Hold, then celebrates in the ring. Surprisingly, Funk DOESN'T bleed in this match! Winner: Terry Funk at 8:54

Joey Styles: "How Funk managed to kick out after that Powerbomb onto the steel chair, I'll never know. But he picks up a win after pretty much dominating Animal for most of the match."

Dave Meltzer: "And looking at my watch, it appears that we're out of time for this week."

Joey Styles: "Don't forget to order XCW's next Pay-Per-View,XCW Supah Powah, which will be originating from Safeco Field in Seattle, Washington. And be sure to join us again next week for another episode of Xtreme Combat Wrestling Friday Night Fury. Good night, fans."
