Without War there can be no peace.  So tonight the stars of WCW and ECW will go to War.  However this war is like none you have ever seen.  Tonight the entire roster is on it's own.  Tonight it's every man for himself here at World War 3!!

Fireworks go off as we go to the announce table.  We see Joey Styles, Scott Hudson and Mark Madden.

Hudson:  Welcome to World War 3 everyone.  Tonight we have three titles on the line as well as a shot at the World Title next year at Superbrawl. 

Styles:  Everyone on the roster, no matter if an ECW or WCW star, will be going for that title shot.  It truly is every man for himself.

Madden:  Lets not forget Rhino taking on William Regal for that World Title.  Also the Tag Champions, Lance Storm and Owen Hart, will take on former champs Shane Douglas and Chris Candido. 

Hudson:  Also former partners collide as Bill DeMott takes on Scott Steiner and in a grudge match it will be that sicko Kanyon taking on Booker T.

Styles:  But right now it is Disqo taking on 'The Star' for the TV title.

'The Star' Scotty Taylor nearly got the win.  Early on he hit Disqo with the Falling Star aka. the Last Dance for a near fall.  Disqo fought back with a series of forearms and a snap suplex.  Victoria tried to interfere but Disqo blocked her slap and then laid a big kiss on her.  Taylor tried to give Disqo a belly to back suplex but Disqo flipped over, spun Taylor around, and gave him the Last Dance for the win.  After the match Disqo helped Taylor up and along with Victoria danced. 

Disqo pinned Scotty Taylor with the Last Dance in 0:04:47.

(Disqo retained the TV Title.)

Madden:  Both men gave everyone a showing there, but then again that horrible dancing Disqo is doing ruined the show.

Styles:  Well it is a lot better then seeing you up there Mark.  The duo might be dancing now but tonight they might end up fighting again. 

Hudson:  Up next it will be two monsters in the ring.  

Madden:  The Freak Scott Steiner takes on Bill DeMott next.  This is all because DeMott couldn't be a partner like Scotty wanted.

Styles:  The way I see it is that Bill was an honest man and Steiner is nothing but a low down good for nothing snake in the grass. 

Madden:  You better be careful Joey, because Scotty might come down here tear into you after he finishes off old fat ass DeMott.

Hudson:  Well here comes that old fat ass now Mark.

Scott Steiner got a big win for ECW as he defeated Bill DeMott.  This match was basically a brawl with very little wrestling involved.  During the match Tylene Buck came to ringside.  She cheered on DeMott as he seemed set to hit the Moonsault.  She suddenly slid a steel pipe into Steiner who knocked DeMott down as Tylene distracted the ref.  Steiner then made the cover for the win.

Madden:  Tylene is back in WCW!  She is Steiner's newest freak!

Hudson:  She seemed to have tricked Bill into thinking she was returning to his side.  I don't think Steiner can beat Bill without help.

Styles:  We still have three matches including the World Title and the Tag Team Title match.

Hudson:  Don't forget the Three Ring battle royal as well.  I understand we have an interview with several stars now.

Misterio:  I may be the smallest man in WCW but I have the biggest heart.  Tonight I win the battle royal and go on to Starrcade for a shot at the World Title.

Shamrock:  It is knuckle up time WCW and ECW.  Tonight it is just the way I like it because it is no rules.  Tonight I walk out with that title shot.

Traylor:  Tonight everyone that crosses my path will find out what Hard Time is all about.  This is Hardcore and I am the king of Hardcore.

Hennig:  Tonight it is every man for himself for everyone but the Minnesota Mafia.  We are going to stick together till the end.  Then we will find out who really is the toughest.

Madden:  They all sound confident but only one will win.  Right now lets go to the ring where Booker T will be facing Kanyon.

Kanyon, who has had Booker number, continued as he took out Booker T once again.  This match went back and forth until the lovely Tammy came out.  She was in all black again and with the black rose.  Booker seemed ready to hit the Book End when Tammy jumped on the apron.  Booker went after her allowing Kanyon to recover and hit the Flatliner for the win.  After the match Tammy came in and crawled over to Kanyon.  Kanyon picked her up and he planted a kiss on her.  Kanyon then walked out with Tammy crawling behind him.

Kanyon pinned Booker T with the Flatliner in 0:12:02. 
Rating: ** 3/4

Madden:  What is this power Kanyon has over Tammy?

Styles:  I don't know but look at what was going on in Chris Candido's locker room when they kissed.

We see video of Candido snapping in his locker room.  He is throwing chairs and slamming lockers.  He then storms out of the room.

Hudson:  Doesn't look like Candido likes the relationship between Tammy and Kanyon.

Madden:  Of course not.  Those two have been together for a long time, Candido and Tammy I mean.  They have more then a professional relationship.

Styles:  I think that is had a more then a professional relationship.  

Hudson:  Well here comes Candido and his partner Shane Douglas.  Shane seems to be trying to calm Chris down.

New Tag Team Champions were crowned as Storm and Hart fell to Candido and Douglas.  Early on Candido continued to look to the back and Hart and Storm took advantage of it.  On several occasions Douglas barely kicked out.  Finally Candido tagged in and was a house of fire.  Storm went to the top but was crotches by Douglas.  Candido then hit a top rope Frankensteiner.  He hooked the leg and put his feet on the ropes for the win. 

Chris Candido and Shane Douglas defeated Lance Storm and Owen Hart when Candido pinned L. Storm after a top-rope Frankensteiner in 0:10:00.

(Chris Candido and Shane Douglas won the Tag Team Titles.)

Hudson:  We have new Tag Team Champions!

Styles:  Well Candido used some help from the ropes but picked up a big win none the less.

Madden:  Chris is a very smart wrestler and showed it right there.  

Hudson:  Up next it will be the World Champion William Regal defending the title against former World Champion Rhino.  

Styles:  Lets get to the ring now.

Regal retained his title in a great match.  Early on Rhino used his power to keep Regal down.  Rhino got a near fall with a huge powerbomb.  Rhino then went for the Gore but Regal moved and Rhino flew to the floor.  Regal then went to the top but Rhino moved and Regal hit the guardrail.  Back in the ring Rhino went for a lariat but Regal ducked and hit the Cobra Neckbreaker out of nowhere for the win.

William Regal pinned Rhino with the Cobra Neckbreaker in 0:12:12.

(William Regal retained the World Title.)

Hudson:  Regal continues to find a way to win.

Madden:  ECW won't stop until Regal goes down I can promise you that.  

Styles:  Well you can see the rings starting to fill up.  Lets waste no time and get to the ring for this match.

While Rick Rude won the Battle Royal it was all a mute point because of what happened afterwards.  Misterio was the first man eliminated seconds into the match.  Then two huge upsets happened as the US and World Champions, William Regal and Jeff Jarrett, were eliminated.  The star of the match was 'The Star' Scotty Taylor.  Taylor eliminated Dan Severn, Big Vito, Curt Hennig, Tank Abbott, and Steve Blackman before getting eliminated by Juvi.  The final four were Balls Mahoney, C.W. Anderson, Ken Shamrock and Rick Rude.  Two ECW men, a shooter and a member of the Minnesota Mafia.  Rude and Shamrock were forced to team up and they almost eliminated Balls and Anderson at the same time.  Shamrock and Rude exchanges some punches with Shamrock winning.  Shamrock charged Rude while he was on the ropes.  Rude ducked and Shamrock went to the floor.

Madden:  Rick Rude wins!!  I don't believe it!

Styles:  Rude has always been a top star and he may prove that next month at Starrcade.

Hudson:  What?  I understand something is going on in the back.  

In the back we see the entire WCW/ECW roster fighting with some people but we can't tell who.  In the ring Shamrock and Rude are fighting when several men run from the back.  As they hit the ring we see who it is.  Rick Steiner, Albert, Raven, Psicosis, Chavo Guerrero Jr., and Mike Modest hit the ring. 

Hudson:  THOSE ARE THE XPW CHAMPIONS!!

In the ring Rude and Shamrock turn to attack the men hitting the ring but the numbers are too much.  Raven gives Shamrock the Raven Effect while Albert gives Rude the Baldo Bomb.  Psicosis and Chavo both hit flying leg drops on Rude and Shamrock.  We then see Ric Flair comes to the ring.

Flair:  WHOO!!!  I'M BACK!  Paul Heyman you thought you could get rid of THE NATURE BOY!  You thought you had seen the last of me huh?  Well I cashed in all my stocks and went and bought my own company.  XPW is here Heyman.  WHOO!  AND WE ARE TAKING OVER!!

In the back we see several WCW/ECW stars down.  

Hudson:  OH MY GOD!  Can this really be happening?

We go off the air with a shot of William Regal being thrown into a dumpster by Rob Van Dam and Sabu.
