Cleveland, Ohio was rocking as the Global Championship Wrestling train came rolling in, much to the delight of the impressive crowd. We had tons of great action in store for tonight, including the semi-finals of both the North American and Cruiserweight Title Tournaments. But before we got to those exciting matchups, GCW President Ryan Niemiller had major announcements concerning GCW's first pay-per-view event, Deadly Draw, which will take place in Chicago, Illinois on the 25th of April!
* * * * *
[After the opening pyro for Explosion goes off, GCW President Ryan Niemiller came out to a lukewarm pop from the crowd. Niemiller shakes some hands as he makes his way down to the ring. Once inside the ring, he shakes hands with GCW ring announcer William Buck before taking the microphone from him.]
RN: I'd like to personally thank each and every one of you for coming out tonight, and for all of you fans at home watching on your televisions. Monday Night Explosion is really starting to take off in the wrestling world, and it's all because of you fans, so thank you.
[A small crowd pop.]
RN: That being said, I know you all don't want to see me come out here and be all mushy, so let's get right to it! I have a few announcements to make which I felt were important enough to come out here and tell you all myself! For starters, next week here on Explosion, 16 of the top superstars in GCW will compete in a battle royal. The winner of this battle royal will be crowned the first-ever Television champion!
[This gets a decent pop. He's getting the crowd going a little more every time.]
RN: But the main objective of me coming out here tonight is to talk about April 25th. You see, April 25th marks Global Championship Wrestling's embarking into the world of pay-per-view. I'm talking about the inaugural pay-per-view event, Deadly Draw, from Chicago, Illinois! This is our first time on pay-per-view, so you know we're going to go all out! Based on what happens tonight, we will have the finals of not only the Cruiserweight Title Tournament, but also the North American Title Tournament as well!
[Good pop from the crowd. He's almost got them...]
RN: Now many would think that would be enough, but Global Championship Wrestling is going to go just a step further. You might be wondering why this pay-per-view event is called Deadly Draw. Well, Deadly Draw is a 30-man Royal Rumble-style match. Two men start out, and every two minutes, another competitor comes down to he ring. To eliminate someone, you simply throw them over the top rope to the floor, where they will be eliminated if both feet touch the ground. The last man standing, wins. Anyone who can win this match has obviously accomplished a great feat; it's no easy task to outlast 29 of the greatest wrestlers in the world. But this one is going to be special, as not only will the winner of the Deadly Draw earn the respect of the wrestling world, but he will also become the first Global Championship Wrestling World Heavyweight champion!
[Big crowd pop for this; they had been wondering when and how the World champion was going to be crowned.]
RN: It's guaranteed to be a big night. Be sure to join us live on pay...
[Before Niemiller can get any further, he is interrupted by "VIVA LA RASA!" which gets a huge pop. "Latino Heat" Eddie Guerrero steps out from the back, which garners an even louder reaction. The Cleveland faithful really love this guy already. Guerrero steps in the ring after grabbing a spare microphone from ringside.]
EG: Listen up, holmes. I know you're out here and you're all excited about your pay-per-view and all that, essa, but I'm out here to ask you a favor. Two weeks in a row, Chris Jericho, esa ramera de mocoso, has disrespected Eddie Guerrero. He slapped me when I was down, and he busted me wide open with a chair. I'm not just gonna sit back and let that happen, essa! �El obtendr� su como pateado! You call the shots around here, Niemiller... I want Chris Jericho, and I want him TONIGHT.
[The crowd once again pops loudly, followed by an "EDDIE! EDDIE!" chant. Before Niemiller can answer, the Y2J Countdown appears on he GCW VideoTron. The countdown reaches zero and "Break The Walls Down" blares over the sound system. At the top of the aisle way stands both Kurt Angle and "Y2J" Chris Jericho.]
CJ: Now I know Hispanics are known for being thieves, but I've never seen a crime like this before. Eddie Guerrero, you are stealing *OUR* spotlight! You want a piece of me, slappy?! You want a piece of me?! I don't know about this, Edward. I thought that chair across that greasy head of yours would have been enough, but apparently you want a little more of the Ayatollah of Rock 'n' Rollah!
[Cleveland boos both Jericho and his goofy self-imposed nickname.]
CJ: Now Edward, I would have no problem wrestling you tonight under regular circumstances. I NEVER... EVVVVVVVVVVVV-ER back down from a fight. I am a real man's man on top of being a sexy beast! But it's just very unfortunate that you're not going to be able to make it back to the ring to wrestle tonight.
EG: What are you talking about, holmes?!
[What Eddie Guerrero doesn't realize is that during Jericho's speech, Randy Orton has slid his way into the ring from the crowd. He is standing right behind Guerrero.]
CJ: What am I talking about? I'm talking about this, assclown.
[Right on cue, Orton grabs a hold of Guerrero and drops him with the RKO. Jericho and Angle make their way down tot he ring at this point, as Niemiller wisely bails from the ring. Jericho, Angle, and Orton all share a high five before they begin stomping on Guerrero. Angle grabs the microphone.]
KA: This is what happens when you run your mouth, Eddie. What you see before you, beating the ever-living crap out of you, is the standard in GCW! What you're looking at is the Sensationals! It's true! Three men showing something you never will: intensity, integrity, and intelligence! Don't worry though... this isn't all bad. At least when the beating is over, you can go get drunk to ease the pain. It's true, it's...
[Angle is cut off by "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels and "The Whole F'n Show" Rob Van Dam, who slide in the ring. HBK brawls with Orton while RVD takes Jericho down with a spin kick. Angle drops the mic and hits a forearm to the back of Michaels, but as he charges Michaels, HBK counters and backdrops Angle to the floor. RVD brings Jericho down with another big kick and then hits Y2J with the Rolling Thunder. Jericho rolls out of the ring as HBK grabs Orton by the head and sends him crashing to the floor as well. We cut to commercial as HBK and RVD tend to Eddie Guerrero.]
* * * * *
As we return from break, we have learned that tonight in our main event, we will have a 6-man tag team contest, with Shawn Michaels, Rob Van Dam, and Eddie Guerrero joining forces to take on Kurt Angle, Chris Jericho, and Randy Orton, who are apparently now referring to themselves as the Sensationals! What a main event!
Red was cleared to wrestle tonight, but he was walking with an obvious limp, courtesy of AJ Styles' post-match attack on him last week in the first round. Chavo Guerrero Jr. is a smart man and a veteran of the ring, and he saw the state of Red's left knee, and he went right to work on it. It might not be the most kosher thing in the world to do, but you can't deny that it is sound strategy. Red wasn't able to get much offense in this match as Chavo kept him grounded throughout. Red fired back whenever he could, but much of his offense is reliant on his legs being at 100%, which tonight they obviously weren't. But one thing you must always keep in mind with a guy like Red is that he is never going to give up, no matter the circumstances, and we got a perfect sight of that tonight. Chavo thought he had this one ready to be finished as he put Red in position for the Gory Bomb. But as he went for it, Red was able to reverse it into a high speed sunset flip power bomb. Red was unable to capitalize right away with a cover, as Red and Chavo both made it to their feet at the same time. Chavo swung at Red, but Red ducked out of the way, locked Chavo up in a front facelock, and drove his skull into the ground with a tornado DDT! Red limped up to the top rope and hit the Red Star Press. Although he came down hard on his knee, it was enough to keep Chavo down for the 1-2-3.
[Cruiserweight Title Tournament - Semi-Finals]:
Red pinned Chavo Guerrero Jr. after the Red Star Press in 0:07:54.
Rating: **
Red had his hand raised, but you could tell that Red Star Press did something to his already tender left knee. The worst was to come for Red as immediately as he got to his feet, AJ Styles was in the ring. Styles took Red down with a huge chopblock to his knee, sending Red to the canvas screaming. Styles lifted Red up and planted him with the Styles Clash. Just as quickly as Styles appeared, he disappeared. What problem does AJ Styles have with Red? Regardless, Red is certainly getting the short end of the stick right now. Despite all that, Red will be wrestling for the Cruiserweight Title at Deadly Draw.
Perry Saturn is looking to get his career back on track after a dreadful past five years. John Cena is just getting started with his career, but already he is establishing himself as one of the best young talents in wrestling today. These two are very evenly matched wrestlers, and it really showed in the quality of this match. The crowd was into it from the get-go, getting into Cena's thuganomics' style (it also didn't hurt that he was wearing a LeBron James jersey). Saturn did a good job in this match, working over Cena's back. Saturn used some good power offense on Cena, including a massive powerslam and a variety of backbreakers. Saturn went to finish Cena off as he went for a Mafia kick, but Cena sidestepped and dropped Saturn with a clothesline. Cena kept it going with a belly-to-belly suplex. The crowd was brought to its feet as Cena hit the Five Knuckle Shuffle. After that, the F-U put Saturn down for the win.
[North American Title Tournament - Semi-Finals]:
John Cena pinned Perry Saturn with the F-U in 0:11:11.
Rating: *** 3/4
Saturn certainly didn't embarrass himself tonight, but I'm not sure if anyone can stop John Cena right now. John Cena has earned himself a spot in the North American Title match at Deadly Draw. But who will he be facing? We'll find out later when Lance Storm meets Hardcore Holly.
In this match, we were supposed to see the debut of The Hurricane, resident superhero, taking on third generation star of the famous Hart clan, Teddy Hart. However, this was the scene prior to the match:
* * * * *
[The Hurricane waits in the ring as Teddy Hart's music kicks up. After a few moments, nobody has come out yet. We cut to a camera in the back where Teddy Hart lies unconscious on the floor. Standing over him is Matt Hardy Version 1.0.]
MH: I lose to Lance Storm? LANCE STORM?! I am Matt Hardy Version 1-POINT-OH-AH! It's time I redeem myself!
[Hardy leaves and heads to the ring. The Hurricane has grabbed a microphone by this point.]
H: That was very villainous, Citizen Hardy! Acting a man from behind? WASSUPWITDAT?! Prepare to be Hurri-punished from your evil ways!
MH: What makes you think you're going to punish me?
H: Because I got Hurri-powers... BEEOTCH!
[The crowd pops moderately for this as referee J.D. Sanders calls for the start of the match.]
* * * * *
Matt Hardy is not at all happy that he was defeated by Lance Storm in the North American Title Tournament last week, and he took it out on Teddy Hart with a vicious sneak attack. Hardy started out aggressive in this one, taking it right to The Hurricane. This is a meanstreak in Matt Hardy that I personally have never seen before. He was flat out malicious. After a few minutes of attacking The Hurricane, Hardy looked like he could have got the win after hitting the Side Effect on the super one, but Hardy lifted The Hurricane's shoulders off the mat. Hardy obviously hadn't released enough of his aggression yet, as the attack continued. Hardy dropped Hurricane with a bodyslam and went to the top. Hardy made the sign of Version 1.0, but he wasted too much time as when he jumped off for the flying legdrop. The Hurricane was able to roll out of the way. Hardy tried to recover, but Hurricane hit him with two leaping clotheslines before dropping him hard with the crossface halo. Hardy stumbled back to his feet, but was met with the Eye of the Hurricane. Academic from there, folks.
The Hurricane pinned Matt Hardy with the Eye Of The Hurricane in 0:05:58.
Rating: ** 3/4
When Matt Hardy recovered, he was furious about it. Hardy threw an absolute fit in the ring, almost a tantrum if you will. Hardy stormed to the back not in the least bit thrilled about tonight's events.
Four teams were competing for their chance to be the first opponents for the World's Greatest Tag Team and their World Tag Team Titles in this Four Corners Match. The Bashams, Triple X, Rob Conway & Nick Dinsmore, and the debuting Billy Kidman & Paul London had a huge opportunity here, and they all went after it full speed ahead. Since this match was one-fall, there wasn't much of a pattern developed here, as it became basically teams tagging themselves in and attempting as many big spots as possible in an effort to put this one away. The result was a sloppy match that the crowd was indifferent to. The star of this match was Paul London though. London wasn't in the match long, but when he was, there was never a dull moment. This guy appears to have the potential to be a star. However, this match belonged to Rob Conway and Nick Dinsmore. During a chaotic moment, Conway surprised Elix Skipper with a big time Neckbreaker which stunned him enough to get the 3 count.
[Winners get World Tag Team Title shot]: Four Corners Match:
Rob Conway and Nick Dinsmore defeated Billy Kidman and Paul London,
The Basham Brothers (Doug Basham and Danny Basham) and
Triple X (Christopher Daniels and Elix Skipper) when R. Conway pinned Skipper
with the Neckbreaker in 0:12:48.
Rating: ** 1/2
Rob Conway and Nick Dinsmore came close to becoming the first World Tag Team champions last week, and due to their win tonight, they're going to get another chance to become champs. They are going to have to be on top of their games though if they are going to beat Shelton Benjamin and Charlie Haas.
* * * * *
[We are backstage where we see Kurt Angle, Chris Jericho, and Randy Orton. They are all stretching, getting ready for their match later on tonight. After a few moments, Justin Credible bursts into the room carrying his Singapore cane. The Sensationals all stare at Credible. Credible finally speaks.]
JC: Hey... guys!
KA: You got a lot of nerve showing your face in here. Why don't you turn around and walk out of here before you get an Olympic-sized butt-kicking?
JC: No... wait... just listen guys. I want to say I'm sorry ab...
CJ: You're damn right you're sorry! Look what you did to my forehead, you assclown!
[Jericho points to his head, where you can see a large knot.]
CJ: Last week I told you to make an impact... I didn't mean on my head! You don't hit a sexy beast in the face like that!
RO: Very uncool, Justin.... very uncool...
JC: I know, I know, I know... it was stupid... it will never happen again, I promise!
[Angle steps up and gets right in Credible's face.]
KA: You're damn right it will never happen again, punk. You didn't just cost Jericho the match last week, you cost me the match too. Anything like that ever happens again, I'll snap your damn ankle. It's true... it's true...
JC: I know, I know... I'm sorry, Kurt... just give me another chance. I swear I'll do better! I feel so bad for what I did to you, Chris. Just give me a shot to fix it!
CJ: You're lucky I don't slap the taste out of your mouth, but with that gap in your teeth, I'm sure the taste is going to sneak out on its own accord.
JC: I'll do anything! I just want to join you guys. You guys are the future of Global Championship Wrestling. I mean, when people say GCW, they're going to say "The Sensationals."
CJ: Well the first thing you can do to maybe get back on our good side is get the hell out of here!
[Jericho shoves Credible out of the room and slams the door behind him.]
KA: What the heck is that guy's problem? The guy looks like a crack baby! Why would we ever let him in the Sensationals?
RO: Hey guys... I have an idea with what to do with this guy...
[Orton calls Jericho and Angle in for a huddle as the camera cuts back to the ring.]
* * * * *
John Cena has punched his ticket for Deadly Draw and a shot at becoming the first North American champion. One of these two men would be joining him in Chicago. But would it be technical wrestling genius Lance Storm, or would it be the man with one of the worst attitudes in wrestling, Hardcore Holly? Lance Storm is not known for his charisma or his in-ring flare, but he knows how to wrestle, and he frustrated Holly with his wrestling skills throughout much of this match. Hardcore Holly fought back though, hitting what many call the best dropkick in wrestling. Storm took a beating for the next few minutes, as Holly doesn't just hit you, he hits you hard. Holly went to hit Storm with the Alabama Slam, but Storm pushed off of it and got out, blasting Holly with a right hand. A couple more punches stunned Hardcore, allowing Lance Storm to rear back and hit a superkick under Holly's chin. Holly was too close to the ropes though, and got his foot on the bottom rope in the nick of time. Lance Storm argued a bit with Jimmy Appleseed, thinking he had secured a 3-count. This momentarily lapse allowed Hardcore the window of opportunity. Storm went to get back on the attack, but Hardcore caught him with a boot to the midsection. Holly lifted Storm up and slammed him with a gutwrench suplex, which normally wouldn't put Lance Storm down. However, Holly got extra leverage by putting his feet on the ropes. Three crashes of Appleseed's hand to the mat, and Hardcore Holly had won.
[North American Title Tournament - Semi-Finals]:
Hardcore Holly pinned Lance Storm after a gutwrench suplex in 0:10:00.
Rating: ***
That goes to show you that you have to keep your focus, because one slip up and it can end just like that. So the match it set for Deadly Draw. John Cena and Hardcore Holly, one-on-one, winner walks away as the first North American champion!

[When we return from commercial break, Brock Lesnar stands in the ring with a microphone.]
BL: Last week, I showed everybody what I am capable of. If anyone still doubts that I am the scariest man in wrestling, just ask Booker T. I will chew up and spit out each and every person in Global Championship Wrestling. I have nothing on my mind than pure and utter domination, and I will stop at nothing. Not only will I be World Heavyweight champion after Deadly Draw, not only will I toss 29 pieces of garbage over the top rope, but I will not be happy until 29 backs have been broken.
[The crowd boos Lesnar as he has a malicious smile on his face. Lesnar might not be the most well-spoken man on the planet, but you can tell that he is serious and means business.]
BL: But I don't want to wait for Deadly Draw. I have a taste for blood NOW. So if there's anyone back there with the guts to step into the lion's den, by all means, come on down!
[After a couple seconds, the music of Tommy Dreamer begins to a moderate pop. Dreamer comes out pumped up, as he tends to do. Dreamer gets in the ring and goes right after Lesnar. Referee Petey Pluck runs in and sounds for the bell.]
* * * * *
No one is going to question that Tommy Dreamer has guts, but one has to question his sanity as he accepted Brock Lesnar's open challenge. Dreamer took it right to Lesnar, but no matter what Dreamer did, Lesnar just seemed to absorb it and dish it right back. Dreamer kept on fighting though, eventually getting Lesnar set up for the Dreamer DDT, but Lesnar literally just picked Dreamer up and threw him across the ring. When Dreamer stumbled back to his feet, he stumbled right into an F-5. That was one she wrote.
Brock Lesnar pinned Tommy Dreamer with the F-5 in 0:09:33.
Rating: *** 1/2
Lesnar, just like last week, wasn't quite satisfied with just beating his opponent; he wanted to hurt him. Lesnar picked Dreamer up over his head and Gorilla Press slammed Dreamer over the top to the floor. Lesnar pounced to the outside and lifted Dreamer up on his shoulder, looking to F-5 him into the post much like he did Booker T. However, before he could do so, the crowd erupted as GOLDUST sprinted down to ringside, nailing Lesnar from behind. Goldust fired up on Lesnar much to the crowd's delight. Goldust slammed Lesnar's had into the ringpost hard before rolling into the ring. Lesnar tried to get into the ring, but the GCW Official Brigade kept him at bay. Goldust is in GCW, but why did he go after Brock Lesnar? As Lesnar was brought to the back, Goldust and Dreamer shared a brief handshake in the ring.
Justin Credible, for whatever reason, is doing everything in his power to befriend the Sensationals, namely "Y2J" Chris Jericho. Thus far, the Sensationals aren't having it. However, a big win tonight might help to sway them into his favor. That wasn't going to be an easy task though, as Credible's opponent was "The Crippler" Chris Benoit, who many believe to be the best technical wrestler today, and I'd be hard-pressed to argue with that. Not a bad match between these two, but by no mean was it spectacular. Credible seemed a little off, possibly because halfway through the match, the Sensationals made their way down to the ring. Credible became unfocused, as he was trying to impress the Sensationals by taking unecessary risks. Some paid off, but most did not. The end of this match came after Credible managed to get Benoit down after a big superkick. At this point, Kurt Angle jumped up on the ring apron, garnering the attention of referee Antonio Santangelo. While Angle tied up the ref, Chris Jericho jumped in the ring and instructed Credible to hold Benoit's arms behind his back. Credible did as he was told with a big smile on his face, as Jericho wound up to seemingly hit Benoit. However, instead of Jericho hitting Benoit, Randy Orton sneaked up behind Credible and blasted him in the back of the head with his own Singapore cane! Justin Credible dropped like a lump as the Sensationals scattered from the ring. Moments later, Benoit hit a beautiful Northern Lights suplex to get the duke.
Chris Benoit pinned Justin Credible after a Northern Lights suplex in 0:07:27.
Rating: ** 1/2
The crowd popped as Benoit walked away with the victory, but Benoit didn't seem that excited about how it all went down. When Credible came to, he had a look of shock and betrayal on his face. He dejectedly walked to the back.
Only one more match to go, and the Cruiserweight Title Tournament Finals would be set, as the winner of this contest between Rey Mysterio Jr. and Low-Ki would move on to face the Amazing Red, who defeated Chavo Guerrero Jr. earlier in the evening. Mysterio was at an obvious disadvantage in this one from the get-go, as the other members of Triple X, "Fallen Angel" Christopher Daniels and "Prime Time" Elix Skipper, along with their eccentric manager Daffney. Mysterio fought well early, not letting the individuals on the outside get into his head, focusing, and taking it right to Low-Ki with a variety of dropkicks, ranas, and armdrags. Eventually though, the numbers became too much. Late in the match, Mysterio appeared to have this one well in hand, as he nailed Low-Ki with the 6-1-9. Mysterio was calling for the West Coast Pop, but at this time, Daniels and Skipper jumped up on the apron. Mysterio rushed at them and knocked them both knock hard into the railing with a double dropkick. This distraction was long enough for Daffney to slip Low-Ki a pair of brass knuckles on the other side of the ring. When Mysterio turned his attention back to his opponent, Low-Ki blasted Mysterio in the head with the knux, knocking him out cold. It goes without saying, but Low-Ki's moving on to the finals was imminent at that point.
[Cruiserweight Title Tournament - Semi-Finals]:
Low-Ki pinned Rey Mysterio Jr. after hitting him with brass knuckles in 0:06:17.
Rating: **
We don't have to like how it went down, but Low-Ki is now going to be wrestling in the Cruiserweight Title Match at Deadly Draw. But will he become the first Cruiserweight champion, or will The Amazing Red be able to overcome the odds and walk away with the gold? Either way, it's bound to be a fantastic match!

[We are backstage with "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels, "The Whole F'n Show" Rob Van Dam, and "Latino Heat" Eddie Guerrero just prior to our main event.]
HBK: Boys, the Sensationals have been a pain in our asses since day one here in GCW. We've been attacked from behind, taken chairs to the head, and been at their mercy. Well you know what? I know HBK don't lay down for nobody, and I don't think either of you do either! We get a chance now to fight back. No more sneak attacks, no more getting blindsided by chairs. Angle, Jericho, and Orton have to face Michaels, Van Dam, and Guerrero eye-to-eye, face-to-face, man-to-man. You boys ready for this?
[Michaels slaps Guerrero on the chest.]
EG: Oh you better believe I'm ready for this, essa! Nobody messes with Latino Heat and gets away with it! Viva la rasa!
RVD: It's cool guys. Get fired up. Get excited. That's not my style though. I'm cool, calm, and collected. But don't you worry. I'm going to take care of business tonight, because I'm [Points to himself] ROB... VAN... DAM!
HBK: Let's go, boys.
[The three head to the ring, focused and ready.]
* * * * *
We expected to have a big time main event, as six of the top players in the wrestling world were involved in this battle. However, this one didn't quite get out of the blocks. As Shawn Michaels, Rob Van Dam, and Eddie Guerrero were introduced, the Sensationals jumped the gun and attacked their opponents in the aisle! Kurt Angle went right after Michaels, Chris Jericho after Guerrero, and Randy Orton brawled with Rob Van Dam. It became obvious that the Sensationals idn't care about having a match. They merely wanted to eliminate their adversaries. Orton charged RVD, but RVD ducked and backdropped Orton into the crowd! RVD followed Orton and the two brawled their way to the back through the crowd. HBK, Angle, Jericho, and Guerrero all spilled into the ring. Michaels and Guerrero were successfully fighting off the Sensationals, until Jericho caught Latino Heat with a low blow. Jericho grabbed Guerrero by the head and tossed him to the outside. Jericho then pulled out a pair of handcuffs. Y2J wrapped the handcuffs in his fist and blasted Guerrero in the forehead, busting him wide open. Guerrero was quite groggy, allowing the Ayatollah of Rock and Rollah to handcuff Guerrero to the ring post. This left Shawn Michaels alone in the ring with both Kurt Angle and Chris Jericho. Angle had gotten the better of Michaels, hitting him with the Angle Slam. Angle and Jericho systematically took HBK apart in the ring. Angle dropped Michaels once again with the Angle Slam, which Jericho followed with a Lionsault. The Sensationals weren't done though, as they threw Michaels to the floor. Michaels tried to fight back, but he could barely stand by this point, let alone mount a counterattack. Angle kicked HBK in the stomach, and then put him in a standing headscissors. Angle hoisted the Heartbreak Kid into the air, and he and Jericho spike power bombed Michaels right through the announcer's table! Michaels has a history of back problems, so there's no telling what this may have done to him! As we went off the air, Angle and Jericho stood over the broken body of Shawn Michaels.
Eddie Guerrero, Rob Van Dam and Shawn Michaels and The Sensationals (Chris Jericho, Kurt Angle and Randy Orton) wrestled to a no contest in 0:00:00.
