vs.
Ric Flair
Shane Douglas The rules of this match are simple. No lame "touch all four corners",
this was just two men, hooked together by a steel chain and the first man
to get a pinfall wins. Flair came out first and grabbed a mic. "Shane Douglas.
For seven years, you claimed that the Nature Boy has held you back. Well,
back when I was a booker, you weren't ready to style and profile with the
main event players. You were still riding around on your skateboard claiming
to be a Dynamic Dude. You may have carried ECW to the nirvana of pay-per
view, but you know what ECW was? It was a second rate promotion run by
a cheapskate who operated out of a piss-ant pawn shop in Philadelphia.
Tonight, I'm gonna prove that you were never on the same level as the Nature
Boy and that I am still the wheelin, dealin, kiss-stealin, limousine riding
son of a gun. And to top it off Shane, there is one simple truth that you
have not learned in this sport and that is to be the man, you gotta beat
the man. And that means, you gotta beat Ric Flair pal. Whoooo!" Douglas
came to the ring without Sid and both men were hooked together by the chain.
Douglas took the early advantage by pulling Flair close and belly-to-belly
suplexing him to the canvas. The Franchise got on top of his nemesis and
punched him in the face unmercifully and busted him open. As he stood over
the fallen Flair, the veteran kicked his leg up and caught the Franchise
in the groin. Flair wrapped some of the chain around his fist and hit Douglas
in the face with it. The Nature Boy used his loaded fist to strike Shane
in the knee with it, softening him up for the figure-four leglock. Flair
bent down to apply his famous hold, but Douglas reversed it into a small
package for two. Incensed that he only got a two-count, Douglas battered
Flair's face with the chain and wrapped it around the Nature Boy's neck.
Douglas slung Flair over the top-rope in an attempt to strangle him. Flair
wouldn't give up and when Douglas saw this he dropped the Nature Boy and
he jumped to the outside. Douglas set up a table on the outside and piledrove
Flair through it. He rolled Flair back in and went for a pin, but could
only get a two. The Franchise put Flair on the top-rope and superplexed
Flair off the top. As both men landed, Flair used his chain to pull Douglas
underneath him and hooked the tights for the win and the three-count. winner-Ric
Flair
interview-Cactus Jack and the Cult
"Scotty, I guess last week's show of force wasn't good enough and frankly
I'm not surprised. The hardcore life may be a lie, but it is hard to give
up. People have asked me, "Cactus, if you hate hardcore so much, why do
you do it?" I'll tell you why. The hardcore life is an addiction. You can
no more tell me not to go through a table, than you can stop a junkie from
putting that needle in his arm. You see I've made my bed of nails and I've
got no other choice but to be powerbombed on it, but that's why I'm trying
to save you by delivering you into the loving arms of the cWo and Matt
Johnson. Can't you see that Scotty? We're your only salvation. That is
why I've got to rip your flesh open with barbed wire tonight and pin you
in the center of the ring. Now I know all of you out there at home are
probably thinking that my prediction of victory is a bit premature, but
it isn't. You see there are two reasons why I know for sure that I'm going
to win. Number one is that I am the King of the Japanese Deathmatch and
I've never lost a death match and I don't plan on losing one now. Reason
number two stems from the fact that, while I know some people find it hard
to believe, I am the loving father of an 8 year old boy and a 6 year old
girl. A favorite pastime in the Foley household is to visit an amusement
park called Santa's Village. Well, I was at Santa's Village last week and
my little girl and I rode on the Reindeer Coaster. As we sat in the car
waiting for ride to start, my little girl leaned over and kissed me on
the forehead. I asked her why she did that and she looked at me with the
unspoiled innocence that a child can have and said, "Because you're a good
man daddy." Right then, I realized something. You see, as a powerful righteous
man, I also wield a lot of power. And with great power comes great responsibility.
I have got a moral obligation to set you on the path of righteousness with
me, Scotty. There are millions of kids out there cutting their flesh open
in the backyards of America and it's my fault. I've got to atone for that
Scott. I've got to set an example so I can show those kids that it is not
okay to go through tables. That it's not okay to fall on thumbtacks or
off of cages. And to set that example, I've got to beat you so badly tonight
that you, along with everyone watching at home, will realize the hypocrisy
of the hardcore life. And after I've pinned you 1-2-3, you will have seen
the light and when they lower the cage and Matt Johnson comes out, I will
pick you up, wipe the blood from your face and we'll all have a big group
hug and together we will make a better tomorrow for the youth of America.
Think about what a beautiful scene it will make Scotty. Bang, Bang!"

New Jack
Terry Funk
Tommy Dreamer Dreamer and New Jack both ganged up on the Funker to start this
match. Dreamer held Funk while New Jack hit him in the head with a garbage
can. New Jack put the can on Funk's head and Dreamer hit it with a steel
chair. Dreamer and New Jack then realized that they were working together
and couldn't stand it so they began pummeling each other. Dreamer ducked
a chair shot by New Jack and waffled the Original Gangsta with a golf club
to the side of the head. Dreamer backed New Jack into the corner and charged
at him with the garbage can, but New Jack kicked it back into Dreamer's
face, busting him open. Funk, who was gushing blood, struggled to his feet
and rolled out of the ring. As Dreamer and New Jack traded punches, Funk
went back to the dressing room and emerged with his flaming branding iron.
Funk went to the top-rope and bopped New Jack in the head with it. The
Funker went to hit Dreamer with it, but The Innovator of Violence used
a steel chair to deflect the shot. Dreamer hit Funk with the chair and
ddt'ed him on it for the victory. After the match, Funk picked up the flaming
branding iron and crotched Dreamer with it as he was celebrating. Funk
then piledrove Dreamer onto the flaming branding iron and used it to burn
New Jack. winner-Tommy Dreamer
T.V. Title vs.
champion-Shawn Michaels
Jeff Jarrett Jarrett started this match out by slapping HBK in the face. Michaels
went to punch Double J, but Jarrett ducked and hit him with a dropkick
to the mouth. Jarrett tossed HBK out of the ring and slammed his head on
the steel guardrail. He went for a piledriver on the floor, but Michaels
backdropped him. As Jarrett struggled to get back on his feet, he was nailed
by a plancha from HBK. Michaels rolled Jarrett back into the ring and went
up top for a moonsault. HBK took too much time and Jarrett belly-to-back
suplexed him from the top-rope. Jarrett locked on the figure-four leglock,
but HBK wouldn't submit. Michaels got over to the ropes and Jarrett had
to break the hold. Frustrated, Jarrett went to the outside and got his
guitar. He swung at Michaels' head, but The Icon ducked it and nailed Sweet
Chin Music for the three count. After the match, Sid Vicious came from
the crowd and knocked HBK out with a guitar shot. Shane Douglas came down
and all three men made the Triple Threat hand sign. We have seen the rebirth
of the Triple Threat! They all stomped on Michaels until the rest of the
Outsiders 2000 came down to make the save. winner-Shawn Michaels
Tag-Team Titles vs.
Champions-The Pump Masters
The Outsiders The champs came out and Big Poppa Pump had some hoochies on his
arm. Steiner took the mic. "I had to bring my own freaks because C'Ville
women are too skank for Big Poppa Pump. After me and my partner beat these
pretenders to our throne, me and my hoochies are gonna go in the back and
I'm gonna do some pushups. That doesn't sound too exciting but one of the
hoochies is going to be underneath me when I'm doing them. And then when
I'm done, they'll call me the Big Bad Booty Daddy and there will be two
more women who know that there ain't nothing finer than Scotty Steiner
because Big Poppa Pump is your hookup, holla if you hear me. "The Outsiders
came to the ring and stared down the champs. Big Poppa Pump made the first
move by nailing Nash with some big punches, while Gusberg and Hall traded
blows. Nash stopped Steiner's momentum by hitting him with a big foot to
the face and whipping him into the turnbuckle. Big Sexy used his patented
elbows to open up Poppa Pump. Meanwhile, Gusberg took over on Hall by spearing
him. Gusberg then used a pump-handle meltdown to drop the Bad Guy. The
former cWo enforcer went over to help his partner by clipping Nash's injured
knee. Gusberg wrapped Nash's knee around the ringpost and slammed it with
a steel chair. Hall charged Steiner in the corner, but Big Poppa Pump caught
him and threw him to the mat with a vicious belly-to-belly suplex. Big
Poppa Pump went for a steinerline, but Hall ducked it and dropped him with
a fallaway slam. Hall went to the outside and stopped Gusberg from hitting
Nash's knee with the chair. Hall posted Gusberg on the outside. The Bad
Guy got a table from underneath the ring and set it up in the ring. He
set Steiner up for the Outsiders Edge, but was lowblowed. Big Poppa Pump
steinerlined Hall out of the ring. The champs then set Nash up on the top-rope
and set the table up in the middle of the ring. Big Poppa Pump went to
the top with Nash and tried to Frankensteiner him through the table. Big
Kev held on to the top-rope to stop it. Nash then countered the Frankensteiner
with a huge jack-knife powerbomb through the table. Hall held Gusberg's
leg to keep him out of the ring while the referee counted the pin to give
the Outsiders the tag-team titles. winners and new tag-team champions-The
Outsiders
U.S. Title Ladder Match vs.
champion-Sabu
Mikey Whipwreck Whipwreck tried to leave the ring and get away, but he was stopped
at the ramp by Steve Austin. Austin dragged Mikey back into the ring, tossed
him inside and took a seat at ringside. Sabu threw the ladder at Mikey
and hit him in the head with it. Sabu threw Mikey into the ropes and frankensteinered
him. The U.S. champion set the ladder up in the corner and tried to whip
Mikey into it, but Mikey reversed it and sent Sabu into the ladder. Mikey
ddt'ed Sabu and set the ladder up in an attempt to get the belt. He made
it to the top rung, but Sabu dropkicked the ladder from underneath him,
sending the underdog falling over the ropes and to the concrete floor.
Instead of going up and getting the belt, Sabu set the ladder up in the
corner and hit Mikey with a plancha. He went over to Austin and gave him
the finger. The Rattlesnake pasted Sabu in the head with a chair and rolled
Whipwreck into the ring. Mikey looked like he was going to get the belt,
when cWo member, Bret Hart hit the ring and tossed him from the ladder.
Austin got into the ring and used a stone cold stunner to drop the Hitman.
Sabu had recovered from Austin's chairshot and moonsaulted onto the Rattlesnake
who was giving a fallen Hart the finger. Sabu then set up the chair in
the middle of the ring and went for his Air Sabu leap on Mikey, who ducked
it. Sabu's jump sent his head into the ringpost, knocking him unconcious.
Whipwreck saw that Sabu was out and climbed the ladder and grabbed the
belt. As Whipwreck celebrated, the cWo came running in and the new champ
hopped the guardrail and ran out through the crowd. winner and new U.S.
champion-Mikey Whipwreck!?
HWF World Heavyweight Title 3-Way Ladder Match vs.
vs.
Triple H
Champion-Steve Austin
Chris Jericho with Big Red Regulator and the Old School Avenger This match was set up when Jericho stole the HWF title belt from
Austin. Jericho came out before the others with the Big Red Regulator and
Neil "The Old School Avenger" Little and took the mic. "Tonight, Y2J will
finally bring the HWF title back to the cWo where it belongs and out of
the filthy hands of that beer-swilling, degenerate redneck, Steve Boston.
After tonight, Matt Johnson will finally have a champion that he can be
proud of and the children will have a role model and a paragon of virtue
that they can look up to because I always say my prayers, take my vitamins
and drink my milk. The same goes for my cohorts, The Old School Avenger
and the Big Red Regulator. I mean look at the muscles on the Big Red Regulator,
who wouldn't want their child to grow up and look like that. As far as
you go, Preparation H, just stay out of Y2J's way, follow the plan and
there will be a big reward in it for you." Jericho gave the ref the belt,
which was suspended high in the air, and Triple H came out and they both
waited on Austin to come to the ring. The Rattlesnake surprised both men
by coming out from underneath the ring and belting both men with a steel
chair. Austin suplexed Jericho and rammed Helmsley's head into the ladder,
drawing blood. Austin picked up the ladder and swung it around in the air,
nailing both of his opponents in the face and busting Y2J open. The Big
Red Regulator got up on the ring apron, distracting Austin. This gave Jericho
the opportunity to dropkick Austin in the back, sending him flying to the
concrete. As this was going on, Triple H was setting the ladder up in the
center of the ring and was climbing up to get the belt. Jericho turned
his attention to Triple H and yelled, "What the hell are you doing?" Triple
H looked down and flicked him off. Y2J used the steel chair that was in
the ring to hit the ladder, knocking it from underneath Triple H. Jericho
then placed the ladder on the fallen Triple H and Lionsaulted onto him.
Meanwhile, on the outside, The Big Red Regulator held Austin while The
Old School Avenger measured the Rattlesnake for a chairshot. Austin lowblowed
The Regulator and the chairshot hit the cWo member square in the head.
Austin then used a Stone Cold Stunner to take The Old School Avenger out
of the equation and he rolled back into the ring. The HWF champ picked
up the ladder and rammed it repeatedly into The Game's chest. As Austin
turned around, Jericho, who had climbed to the top-rope, dropkicked the
ladder into Austin's face, drawing blood. cWo leader and HWF founder, Matt
Johnson then made his way out to the ringside area. He helped Jericho set
the ladder up in the middle of the ring and Y2J started climbing. Before
he could reach the top, Triple H shoulderblocked the ladder and Jericho
fell off of the ladder to the concrete floor and knocking him unconscious.
Johnson got into Triple H's face and yelled at him, "You and you're ass-buddy's
are done in HWF! Don't you know who I am, I'm Matt Johnson! I own you!"
With that, Triple H hit Johnson with a right to the face. Helmsley turned
his attention to the Rattlesnake and pedigreed him to the mat. As Helmsley
climbed the ladder, the C'Ville Icon pushed it out from underneath him
sending Triple H crashing to the floor as well. Seeing that his corporate,
cWo champion was knocked out, Johnson went to the outside to revive Jericho.
Johnson poured water on Jericho to wake him up and dragged him back into
the ring. As Johnson struggled to help Jericho, Austin pulled the C'Ville
Icon off of Jericho and delivered a stunner to him. As Austin taunted Johnson,
Jericho went over to him and reverse ddt'ed the champion. Y2J then went
for the double-powerbomb on Austin. As this happened, Triple H had recovered
enough and struggled back to the ring apron. Austin swept Jericho's legs
from underneath him and slingshotted him into Triple H and as Jericho stumbled
back from the collision, the Rattlesnake used a Stunner on him. Austin
then set the ladder up and climbed up it and got his HWF title belt. winner
and still HWF champion-Steve Austin
interview-Raven
"The Greek poet, Dante, wrote that there are nine circles of hell, with
each circle becoming increasingly horrifying. The ninth circle is reserved
for the worst sinners of all, traitors. Traitors to God, traitors to country,
traitors to family and traitors to friends. Cactus Jack, tonight I damn
you to the ninth circle of hell. Jack, you've always craved the attention
of the masses, the attention you got from taking chairshots, going through
tables and falling off of cages. It's what's expected of you and you've
always carried around the cross of these expectations on you're back. Well,
tonight, I'm going to do you a favor and take that cross off of you're
back and I'm going to crucify you on it. And as for you Matt Johnson, Keyser
Soze from the movie, the Usual Suspects, once said that the cleverest trick
that the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he doesn't exist.
Well, I do exist and I'm going to turn that steel cage into your own personal
hell and I'm going to be your Satan. Quote the Raven, 'Nevermore'.
Japanese Death Match 4 Exploding Barbed-Wire Boards in each corner and
a Bed of Thumbtacks vs.
Cactus Jack
Raven Jack came out without the rest of the Cult, but you had to know
they were in attendance somewhere. Both men approached each other cautiously
and locked up. Raven grabbed Foley in a headlock and tried to maneuver
him into the corner where the barbed wire exploding boards were, but Cactus
Jack elbowed him in the stomach and shot him into the ropes. Cactus caught
Raven coming off the ropes with a vicious elbow to the face. Jack brought
one of the exploding boards to the center of the ring and attempted to
suplex Raven onto it, but Raven reversed it and suplexed him to the canvas.
Raven then irish-whipped Jack into one of the exploding boards in the corner.
Jack hit the board and the explosion burned off half of his shirt. Cactus
tried to free himself from the board, but was caught on the barbed wire.
Raven got a steel chair and whacked his former friend across the skull
with it as he was trying to get untangled from the barbed wire. Raven then
brought the bed of thumbtacks into the ring and attempted to powerbomb
Jack onto it, but Cactus reversed it and backdropped Raven onto the exploding
barbed wire board that they had put in the center of the ring. Jack got
some thumbtacks and scattered them on the canvas. Cactus rubbed Raven's
face into them until his former friend wore the crimson mask of blood.
Cactus then whipped Raven into the other board on the other side of the
ring. Cactus then grabbed the steel chair and ran at Raven with it, but
Raven kicked it back into Jack's face. As Jack stumbled around, Raven set
up one of the already used barbed wire boards in the ring and piledrove
Cactus right onto the barbed wire, opening him up. Then in a vicious move,
Raven put Cactus' head in the thumbtacks and hit Mrs. Foley's baby boy
right in the skull with a chair, driving Cactus' face into the thumbtacks.
Raven then evenflowed Jack onto one of the used boards, but surprisingly
could only get a two count. Raven continued to stomp on Cactus, which brought
out the Sandman and Al Snow. Snow hit Raven with the Head and held him
for a cane shot from the Sandman. Raven ducked the cane shot, which hit
poor old Al, and evenflowed the Sandman. This gave Cactus time to recover
and he tossed some thumbtacks into Raven's face and double-arm ddt'ed him
onto one of the used boards.Cactus called to the back and out came
former L.O.D. member, Goldberg. This must be what Johnson had planned for
the former L.O.D. members, to soften Raven up before the cage match. Goldberg
hit the ring and nailed Raven with a sidekick to the head. Jack set up
a the last exploding barbed wire board in the corner and propped Raven
up in front of it. Goldberg turned it up for the spear and ran at Raven,
who ducked and used a drop toe-hold to send Da Man careening into the exploding
board. Jack called to the back again and out came Justin Credible with
his singapore cane. Credible tossed his cane to Cactus, but Raven lowblowed
him and took it away. Raven waffled Jack in the head with it and evenflowed
him into the bed of thumbtacks! Raven rolled Cactus over and pinned him
for the victory. After the match, the Undertaker emerged from the crowd
and tombstoned Raven to soften him up for the next match. winner-Raven
Main Event Steel Cage Grudge Match vs.
HWF owner-Matt Johnson
Raven The winner of the match would be the man who escapes the cage first.
Seeing that his arch-nemesis was down, Johnson quickly ordered the cage
to come down and started stomping on the injured Raven. Johnson rammed
his enemy's head into the cage numerous times, busting him open even further.
The C'Ville Icon backed Raven into the ropes and chopped him, Flair-style.
This served as a wake-up call as Raven grabbed Johnson, threw him into
the corner and whaled away on him with both fists. Raven set Johnson up
on the top-rope for a superplex, but because he was so fatigued, took too
long, which allowed the C'Ville Beacon of Truth to push him to the canvas.
Johnson then went to the top-rope and rethought it and went to the top
of the cage. He flashed the Jimmy Snuka sign and dove off the cage. Sadly,
he found nothing but canvas as Raven moved out of the way. Raven picked
up Johnson and threw him like a javelin face-first into the cage, busting
him wide open. Both men fell to the canvas and bled profusely. Somehow,
Johnson made it to his feet first and called for the Johnson Bomb. He went
for his finisher, but Raven backdropped him into the steel cage. Raven
then evenflowed the cWo leader and went to climb over the cage. As he got
to the top, and cWo members, Rob Van Dam, the Warlord, Bob "The Razor Studd"
Weber ran down to ringside and Erik "The Even Badder Guy" Bushey, climbed
the cage on the outside and nailed Raven with a steel chair. Raven then
fell to the mat with a thud. Johnson got up and in an incredible display
of strength, considering that the C'Ville Icon weighs in at 155 pounds
of twisted steel and sex appeal while Raven goes about 235, Johnson Bombed
him to the mat, but he had lost too much blood to make it out the door
and he collapsed to the mat in a bloody heap. Bushey ordered the ringside
ref to open the cage door and Van Dam went inside to try and drag Johnson
out of a pool of his own blood. This brought out Scott Hall, Kevin Nash,
and Shawn Michaels who brawled with the cWo members at ringside. Right
when it looked like RVD was going to get Johnson out the door, Triple H
came through the crowd, shoved Van Dam out of the way and slammed the heavy
cage door right on Johnson's head. This was obviously pay back for Johnson
costing Triple H the title in the ladder match and you know they say pay
backs are a b*tch! Raven evenflowed Johnson in the ring and went over the
top of the cage for the victory. winner-Raven
Next Year's Preview
Since HWF owner and cWo leader, Matt Johnson won't have access to a
computer over his summer vacation, this is the last HWF for about 3 or
4 months. But when we return, Johnson has promised that there will be hell
to pay for Triple H and the Outsiders 2000 for helping Raven win the steel
cage match. The cWo isn't the only faction that the Outsiders 2000 have
to worry about as the former tag-team champions, The Pump Masters will
be looking to regain their belts and the hatred between the reformed Triple
Threat of Jeff Jarrett, Sid and Shane Douglas and the members of the Outsiders
2000 is well documented. Also, Steve Austin will have new challenges to
face as the HWF World Champion because we all know Johnson won't rest until
a cWo member holds that title. And what about improbable U.S. champion,
Mikey Whipwreck? How long will he hold on to the title? Be sure to keep
reading about these issues and all of the other stars of the HWF when it
starts again in the fall. Thanks for reading.
