Eddie Guerrero© defeated Chris Jericho

What a great match this one was, These two men went at it holding nothing back. Jericho and Guerrero had a small hand shake in the beginning of the match but after that young "Lion Heart" Chris Jericho was all business! Jericho took it to Guerrero as much as Guerrero took it to Jericho, Jericho hit Guerrero with stiff right hands and chops in the corner. Jericho followed up with multiple suplexes all of them getting near falls on Guerrero. Jericho came very close to winning the title after delivering a perfect missile drop kick to Guerrero but luckily for Guerrero he was able to put his foot on the ropes. Jericho continued his assault on Guerrero as he started working on Eddie Guerrero's leg no doubt softening it up for the Lion Tamer. Guerrero though ended up fighting back and taking Jericho down with a dragon screw leg sweep! Eddie then came off the apron with his springboard senton bomb for a near fall.

Eddie Guerrero leaped off the top turnbuckle attempting the Frog Splash but Chris Jericho rolled out of the way!

After the video ends we're taken to the WCW studios where we see Mike Tenay sitting down in a chair wearing street clothing and next to him is Japanese sensation Taka Michinoku. Tenay prepares to speak....

Mike Tenay- Taka Michinoku you are known worldwide as one of the best Cruiserweight competitors in all the world. You've showcased you're talents in Japan where you're one of the most respected young athletes. Taka Michinoku why did you decide to come here to World Championship Wrestling?

Taka Michinoku- WCW has great competition, There's the legends like Ric Flair, Hollywood Hogan, Sting, The Outsiders and many other great legends I would love to get into the ring with. There's also the great young talent in WCW like the cruiserweights.

Mike Tenay- Anyone you're looking forward to getting into the ring with first?

Taka Michinoku- Definitely the cruiserweights, Dean Malenko, Ultimo Dragon, Rey Mysterio, Chris Jericho are all men I'd want to get into the ring with and go at it. They're all amazing athletes that I feel I can beat.

Mike Tenay- Well I feel that you'll get your moneys worth with the competition here in World Championship Wrestling. Taka there has been talk of the nWo wanting you in their group, Could you be the first Cruiserweight wrestler in the nWo?

Taka Michinoku- I don't think so Mike, The New World Order is a big group but I'd prefer to be on my own. IF a offer came along later in my career then who knows? But right now Taka Michinoku is WCW.

Mike Tenay- Taka you're expected to make your debut in World Championship Wrestling pretty soon, What are your thoughts on what your future is going to be like here in WCW?

Taka Michinoku- I plan to go to the top, I want to wrestle each and every wrestler WCW has and to beat them. I plan to dominate the Cruiserweight division and to win the Cruiserweight Championship. My future in World Championship Wrestling will be a great one, I will hold every title in WCW and go right to the top and become the WCW World Champion. It's quite simple I plan to be the best.

Mike Tenay- Taka thanks for the interview, Good luck in WCW.

Taka Michinoku- You're welcome and thank you I plan to make Taka Michinoku the biggest name in pro wrestling history.

Taka and Tenay shake hands as the video fades.

COMMERCIAL BREAK

DDP and Scott Hall don't want to wait until Uncensored!

The music of the New World Order hits the arena to a mixed reaction from the crowd, Scott Hall walks down to the ring with a cocky smile on his face as the crowd starts booing him, Hall is handed a microphone as the fans chant "DDP".

Scott Hall- Hey yo....

The fans respond to Hall with a solid "hey yo" chant.

Scott Hall- Before I talk about Uncensored I think I need to ask the people in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania a little survey! Did you fans come here to see the nWo?

The fans in Philadelphia boo Scott Hall and the nWo, Hall though plays it cool and just smirks.

Scott Hall- Or did you fans come here to see WCW?

The crowd cheers for WCW but Hall once again just plays it cool.

Scott Hall- One more for the good guys! You know Sunday night "The Bad Guy" has a no holds barred match against that trailer park trash wanna be DDP. Page you wouldn't be in this business if it wasn't for Scott Hall and Kevin Nash! Me and Nash taught you everything you know about the wrestling business! And how do you repay us? You turn down our offer to join the nWo! Page I know you don't think you're better than the nWo because you sure as hell aren't anywhere near the level of greatness of Scott Hall! DDP come Uncensored don't expect me to be all "Mr. Nice Guy" on ya pal, Expect Scott Hall to flat out kick your ass! DDP we asked and we asked you to join us but you refused, Now you're gonna have to pay! DDP if you think you got a shot in hell of winning come Uncensored then you are in for a real surprise come Sunday night. Scott Hall is a better wrestler than you, A better entertainer and I'm alot better with the women then you! Hell you're wife can't keep her eyes off of me if you know what I mean! Page you're loser and everyone knows it! Scott Hall made you and I can break you! DDP when you get nailed by the Outsider's Edge Sunday night and you're looking up at the lights you will know that the nWo and Scott Hall are the dominant force in WCW. DDP there are winners and then there's you.... The loser! Page when we Uncensored rolls around you're gonna......

Scott Hall is interrupted as "Self High Five" hits the arena to a huge ovation from the crowd, Diamond Dallas Page stays on top of the entry way holding a microphone as Scott Hall looks on not too happy.

Scott Hall- What are you doing here? This is my interview time Page! Not your's!

Diamond Dallas Page- Sorry for interrupting you Hall but I couldn't stick around in the back and hear this crap any longer! Hall first of all I helped you in the world of wrestling my friend! Go back to 1991 and you'll remember DDP managing a rookie by the name of Diamond Studd!

The crowd cheers the mention of the name Diamond Studd as Scott Hall looks a bit pissed off.

Diamond Dallas Page- And Scott the Diamond Studd was you! When you got your first big break in World Championship Wrestling I was the one behind you! Hall remember your little catchphrase? I know you use "hey yo" now but back in 1991 you're catchphrase was "Every woman's dream at 290 pounds of twisted steel and sex appeal!" Scott you might be all cool now but my friend back then you were the Diamond Studd! For those who don't remember Scott from his days as the Studd take a look at the big screen!

The following image is shown on the big screen.

Hall looks incredibly angry while DDP mocks him and laughs. The crowd starts a "Studd" chant.

Diamond Dallas Page- Hall you look like a complete jackass my friend! Hall I also seem to remember when we were searching for a "studdette" to be your valet, Remember some women from the audience would strip you down to your ring gear? Yeah that was corny too. For those who don't remember check this one out!

The following image is shown on the big screen.

The fans start another "Studd" chant as DDP laughs at Hall who right now looks like he's about to explode!

Scott Hall- You think you're funny Page? That's the past! You wanted to make me look like a fool? You did it! But Page the fact of the matter is the past is the past, The future is the future and come Uncensored the future will be me beating you! DDP you can make fun of me all you want but you know even when Scott Hall was the Diamond Studd he was still better than you!

The crowd boos Scott Hall's comments and starts another "Diamond Studd" chant.

Diamond Dallas Page- Whoa calm down, Don't get all bend out of shape about it big man. Scott I didn't mean to make you look like a fool, That was not my intention at all. I was just teaching everyone a little history lesson. See Hall you went from the Studd to where you are now. One of the founding fathers of the New World Order. Hell you Nash and Hogan were the first members of the nWo. And months after that you asked me to join.... Hall after all we been through why didn't you ask DDP from the beginning? After all no one knows The Outsiders quite like Diamond Dallas Page! But I'm over the nWo, I want to take all of you guys out and Scott Hall I'm gonna start with you at Uncensored!

Scott Hall- DDP you wanna know why we didn't ask you? Because at the time you were nothing! You've always been nothing! You didn't amount to anything during your entire career here in WCW! When me and Nash finally decided to give you a break and ask you to join us you denied more than once! Page you had to be taught a lesson about respect! And now once again you come out here and disrespect the nWo and Scott Hall?

Diamond Dallas Page- Hall you think I care about you? You think I respect you? Scott Hall we haven't been close in ages my friend, And the fact of the matter is I don't like you, I don't fear you and I sure as hell don't respect you! I don't respect what you stand for and I don't respect the New World Order! Scott Hall come Uncensored we're going to get into a fight, That's what it's going to be and there's only gonna be one winner! And Scott Hall the man who'll win Sunday night will be Diamond Dallas Page! Scott Hall I promise you that come Uncensored you'll feel the bang!

The crowd starts a "DDP" chant as both men stare each other down, Both men with intense look on their faces. Hall puts the microphone up to his mouth and prepares to speak.

Scott Hall- The only person who's going to feel any kind of bang on Sunday night is going to be your wife Page! And she won't be getting it from you!

Scott Hall smirks as Diamond Dallas Page looks on from the top of the entry way, Page looks very angry at Hall's comments.

Scott Hall- Yeah Kim won't be in the back with you once it's all over, She'll be in the back with "The Bad Guy"!

Diamond Dallas Page- Scott I know you're trying to get under my skin by making these little comments about my wife, And guess what it's working? I'm three seconds away from coming down there and kicking your butt!

Scott Hall does his "I'm scared" finger taunt at Page, Page drops his microphone down and starts walking down the isle way as the fans cheer, Page slides into the ring and Hall puts the boots to DDP! Hall stomps away on Page as the crowd chants "DDP". Hall lifts Page up to his feet and sends DDP to the corner. Scott Hall charges but gets a boot right to the face! Page then almost takes Scott Hall's head off with a clothesline! Page lifts Scott Hall up by the hair and rams Scott Hall's head onto the turnbuckle ten times as the fans in the city of "brotherly love" count along. Page then goes for the Diamond Cutter as he grabs Scott Hall by the head but Hall bails and slides out to the floor! Hall then heads to the back as Diamond Dallas Page stands in the center of the ring. Scott Hall tells Page he'll see him at Uncensored. DDP does the Diamond Cutter sign as Monday Nitro goes to a commercial break.

I agree Disciple should be nowhere near the main event scene, I only used him in the main event to hype the Uncensored main event, Oh and his highest stat is 53 for brawl.

Yeah if anypne else was wondering Taka is being brought in as a tweener, He'll stay a tweener for now.

After I post Saturday Night I'll sim out Uncensored and then post the final card with tie breakers etc, Saturday Night should be up pretty soon anyway :thumbs-up:

Psychosis then worked over Guerrera's back and hit a big slingshot legdrop right onto Guerrera's back! Psychosis continued working over Guerrera's back and late into the match Psychosis attempted a powerbomb but it was countered into a big facebuster from Guerrera! Guerrera then hit a couple drop kicks and followed up with a big tornado DDT. Guerrera quickly hit the Juvi Driver scoring the win. Saturday Night went off the air with Juventud Guerrera celebrating his win.
