A former friend that's destiny lies with the gold. He wants to prove to his former best friend that he is better and that he will be a better champion.
A brother looking for revenge. He blames his brother's injury on two men. Tonight he not only tries to get his revenge for his brother, but tries to take away the most important thing from the three men he hates most.
An outcast looking to fit in. He has never fit in his entire life, but possibly with a World Title he may be finally accepted. But even this is more of an after thought as he despises all three involved for the reasons they are involved.
When you draw all four into the same ring together with the World Title it will be awesome! )
(We cut to clips of people in their locker rooms, Malenko is talking with Saturn and Sid, Chris Benoit is talking to somebody off camera, Ken Shamrock is sitting on a chair drinking some water, Raven isn't in his locker room, instead he is in a dark room slouched in a corner, Robert Thompson is pacing around his room, Jyushin Lyger is putting his boots on, and Mike Awesome is staring right into the camera when we cut to him.)
We are live from Kansas City, Missouri! It's Drawing of the Four and the crowd is ready to explode.

Juventud Guerrera vs Scott Taylor
-----------------------------------------------
Juventud started off by charging at Taylor, but Taylor caught him and brought him down with a clotheslines. Taylor started laying in the boots and dropped a leg. A couple more legdrops followed before Taylor picked Juvy up. A big suplex was delivered and Taylor started to gloat.
Bad move as Juvy was up in an instant and dropkicked Taylor from behind which sent Taylor the outside. Juvy grabbed ahold of the top rope and springboarded himself to the outside and on top of Taylor with a plancha. Juvy was now in control.
Juvy picked Taylor up and tried to whip him into the guardrail, but it was reversed. Juvy staggered out and was taken off his feet with a backdrop. Taylor threw Juvy back into the ring and started to use his slight power advantage. He threw Juvy against a turnbuckle and brought him down with a faceslam...time for the Worm!!! Taylor hit it to a big pop from the crowd, but a cover only got two. Taylor continued to have control of the match as he hit Juvy with a powerslam followed by a legdrop off the top rope, but once again it only got two.
Juvy fought back and blasted Taylor with a dropkick and a whip into the turnbuckles. Taylor came flying out of the buckles with a clothesline, but Juvy ducked. Both men turned, but Juvy got in the first move as he booted Taylor in the stomach and dropped him with the Juvy Driver. One 450 Splash later and Juvy picked up the victory.
Juventud Guerrera pinned Scott Taylor after the 450 Splash in 0:09:13.
Rating: **
Juvy picks up the victory which has to give the Dragon Kid some momentum going into his Lightweight Title defense.
("Song 2" by Blur)
That's the music of Chris Benoit, one of the four people to fight for the World Title later on tonight. What in the world does he have to say?
We would soon find out as Benoit entered the ring and grabbed the mic out of the ring announcer's hands.
CHRIS BENOIT: I know this is just moments before one of the biggest matches of my life, but I have to do this. Ken, you say it's all my fault that your brother has a broken leg. You blame me for it, and you say your brother blames me. Well, guess what? I have somebody here that disagrees.
("Highway to Hell" by AC/DC)
FRANK SHAMROCK IS BACK IN THE WWA!!!! Frank is walking down the aisle! The crowd is popping huge as one of the best wrestlers in the WWA has returned! He is on one crutch, but looks to be in great condition. Frank rolls himself into the ring and grabs the microphone out of Chris' hands.
FRANK SHAMROCK: Ken, I really don't know what your problem is. It isn't Chris' fault that my leg was broken! It was all Dean. You and I both know it. Ken, I don't know who has been telling you that I have been blaming Chris for my injury, but they are wrong.
("Highway to Hell" by AC/DC)
Ken Shamrock walks out with a mic in hand, but doesn't come down the aisle. Instead he stays up at the ring entrance.
KEN SHAMROCK: What are you saying, Frank? I know you better than anybody else and I know you are blaming Chris deep inside. This is his fault!
FRANK SHAMROCK: Ken, you and I both know that isn't true. You are putting the blame on the wrong guy.
KEN SHAMROCK: I am not doing this. Not tonight. Frank, you have been brain washed by Chris, and that is just one more reason for me to rip Chris' throat out.
(Ken points at Chris)
I'll see you later tonight.
Ken walks back through the entrance way and to the back while Chris and Frank talk to eachother in the ring before shaking hands and walking to the back.
Frank Shamrock is back in the WWA! What a shocker!

When we came back from the little video clip John Kronus was walking down the aisle. He entered the ring and grabbed a mic.
JOHN KRONUS: It's time for me to announce my partner. I wasn't able to get ahold of him before the match, but I know not only the crowd is going to love it, but he will too...
My partner, everybody, PERRY SATURN!!!
("Shamrocks and Shenanigans" by House of Pain)
Major pop for that although it is a mixed reaction. Afterall, Saturn is facing Mike Awesome later on tonight for the Universal Title. It took a couple of minutes before Saturn walked out. He didn't look too happy. He ran to the ring and slid inside. He pushed Kronus backwards. Kronus looked surprised at this.
JOHN KRONUS: Hey, what's your problem?
PERRY SATURN: You asshole, I have a title shot later tonight and now I have to team up with you? I thought I told you we were done for anyways! We were the best tag team in the world, but that's over now. I am not going....
("Natural Born Killaz" by Dr. Dre and Ice Cube)
Perry Saturn shut up fast as he twisted his head towards the entrance way as did Kronus. Perry Saturn apparently forgot who Kronus' opponent was. One of Saturn's most hated enemies back in ECW, New Jack!!! And who is that with him?!? MUSTAFA!!! IT'S MUSTAFA!!! They have the trashcan of doom! They throw it into the ring and both slide in and the crowd is going apeshit. I guess this is our match!
(Listen to Natural Born Killaz during this match, makes it more enjoyable.)

The Eliminators vs The Gangstas
---------------------------------------------
Mustafa entered the WWA the right way as he smashed a frying pan over Saturn's head. Saturn staggered backwards and Mustafa clobbered him with a clothesline that knocked them both to the outside.
Kronus and New Jack were brawling in the ring, something which New Jack is for sure to get the upper hand on. He hit a couple of big rights before grabbing a toaster and smashing it over Kronus' head!
Who would of thought that one of the most hated tag team feuds in wrestling history would be going on here tonight?!?
Saturn wasn't ready for this match and was showing it as Mustafa was beating his ass all over on the outside. Mustafa whipped Saturn into the guardrail and blasted him with a big boot on the return. Mustafa grabbed a chair that was handed to him by one of the fans and smashed it over Saturn's back. Saturn screamed out in pain, but that only caused Mustafa to do it again.
New Jack whipped Kronus into the turnbuckle on the inside and charged in with a splash, but Kronus moved out of the way and New Jack hit his head on the ringpost. New Jack got himself off the turnbuckles, but walked right into a superkick that had to of knocked a few teeth loose. Kronus saw his partner in trouble on the outside and so he springboarded himself to the outside and onto Mustafa, but Mustafa got the chair up in time to ward off the attack. This did give Saturn enough time to get a breather and smashed Mustafa with a couple of punches.
Saturn whipped Mustafa into the ringsteps and then lifted him up and dropped him neck first on the guardrail. Saturn gave Mustafa a couple of chops across the chest and then blasted him with a clothesline that sent Mustafa to the outside. Saturn climbed over and went after him.
New Jack was back up and grabbed a hockey stick out of his trashcan. He climbed to the top and perched himself on top as he awaited for Kronus to get up. Once Kronus was up to his knees New Jack came flying off and crashed the stick over Kronus' head. Kronus went down in a heap while New Jack played up the crowd.
Saturn grabbed ahold of Mustafa by the head and dragged him further into the crowd and over to a wall. He threw Mustafa face first into the wall and dropped Mustafa with a back suplex as he came back. There was a small platform about 15 feet above Saturn and a ladder leading up to it. You do the math. Saturn started climbing up.
New Jack picked Kronus up and threw him into the ring. New Jack went over and grabbed a radio and smashed this over Kronus' head and we saw that John's head was a bloody mess. New Jack picked Kronus up and whipped him into the ropes, but Kronus ducked under a clothesline. Kronus came back off the opposite ropes with a flying leg lariat that took New Jack down. Kronus went to the outside and went under the ring. He has a table!!! He slides it into the ring!
Saturn is up on the platform 15 feet up!!! Mustafa is still down on the mat! SATURN COMES FLYING OFF WITH THE ELBOW FROM THE HEAVENS!!! IT CONNECTS!!! Both men must be dead!!!
Kronus gets in the ring and sets the table up in the middle of the ring. He smacks New Jack around with a couple of kicks and then sets New Jack up on the table. He climbs up the turnbuckles and faces towards the crowd!
Saturn has somehow made his way back to his feet! How in the world is he getting back up? Saturn is slowly making his way back towards the ring!
Kronus comes flying off with a moonsault!!! NEW JACK ROLLS OFF THE TABLE!!! KRONUS GOES CRASHING THROUGH!!! Kronus is laying in the remnants of the table and he has to be out of it. New Jack is still on the mat, but is starting to move.
Saturn saw what happened in the ring and is trying desperately to get through the crowd. He finally makes it and crawls over the guardrail.
New Jack rolls over and drapes an arm across Kronus!

Saturn barely breaks up the count!!!
Saturn drags New Jack to his feet and nails him with a clothesline that sends New Jack falling backwards and into the ropes. New Jack staggers off the ropes and walks right into a T-Bone suplex. Saturn calls for a fan to throw him a chair which the fan does. New Jack is back to his feet, but walks right into a huge chair shot.
Mustafa has found his way back to his feet and is making his way back towards the ring.
New Jack got back to his feet after the chair shot, but was bleeding from his forehead. Saturn went to nail New Jack with another chair shot, but New Jack dodged it. Saturn turned around and New Jack dropped to his knees and low blowed Saturn! Saturn fell to the mat grasping at his groin while New Jack grabbed the chair. New Jack turned around, but Kronus was there who nailed a dropkick that sent the chair crashing back into New Jack's face. New Jack was busted open even more.
Mustafa climbs over the guardrail and grabs a table and slides it into the ring. He also grabs a cheese grater and slides into the ring.
Kronus picks New Jack up and drops him with a Falcon Arrow, but as he goes for the cover Mustafa breaks it up by raking the cheese grater on Kronus' forehead!!! Kronus is pouring blood out of his forehead and is screaming out in pain.
Saturn slowly gets to his feet, but Mustafa sees this and puts the cheese grater to his head and now Saturn is yelling in pain. Saturn brings his leg back in a low blow, but he has also been busted wide open. Mustafa is still on his feet, but that doesn't last long as Saturn grabs ahold of him and brings him down with a tiger suplex.
New Jack rises to his feet and grabs the table that Mustafa slid into the ring and leans it against the top turnbuckle. He pulls Kronus to his feet and goes for a running bulldog, but Kronus counters it with a back suplex at the last moment and the table goes unbroken.
Saturn walks over and pulls New Jack to his feet and he calls for Kronus. Kronus staggers over and Saturn counts to three...TOTAL ELIMINATION!!!! THEY HIT IT!!!! Saturn makes the cover as Kronus falls on his ass from the loss of blood.

MUSTAFA BREAKS UP THE PINFALL!
Saturn is pissed. He gets to his feet and blasts Mustafa with a couple of forearms causing Mustafa to stagger backwards towards the table. Saturn backs up and runs at Mustafa! MUSTAFA DUCKS AND SENDS SATURN OVER HIS SHOULDER! BACK BODYDROP THROUGH THE TABLE!!!
Saturn stays over in the corner and grabs his shoulder in pain while Mustafa boots Kronus as he was getting to his feet and drops him with a powerbomb. Mustafa picks New Jack up and hands him a chair. New Jack is still very wobbily, but makes his way to the turnbuckles and climbs up. Mustafa picks Kronus up and drops him with a running powerslam...NEW JACK OFF THE TOP WITH THE DIVING CHAIR!

THE GANGSTAS WIN!!! New Jack gets to his feet, but falls right back down as Mustafa puts his arms out in the X. New Jack rolls to the outside and staggers to the back while Mustafa stays in the ring for a couple more seconds letting the cheers sink in as "Natural Born Killaz" continued to play. He finally leaves the ring as Saturn slowly got to his feet. His face was a crimson mask, and he wasn't looking too good. Saturn springboarded himself to the outside and he made his way to the back. Halfway there he was met by Sid Vicious who helped him to the back.
Kronus was left in a pool of his own blood, and I do mean a pool. Some people came out to help him, but once he regained concsiousness he pushed them away and walked to the back himself although he had to use the guardrail to help keep him up.
What a match and we are only two matches in! And how in the world is Saturn going to be able to not only wrestle later on tonight, but against Mike Awesome?

Lightweight Title!
Dragon Kid(c) vs Brian Christopher vs Billy Kidman
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The match started off slower than what was expected. All three circled eachother for awhile before Christopher made the first move and went to dropkick Kidman, but Kidman dodged the move, but was hit by one from the Dragon Kid instead. All three were right back up, but this time Christopher smacked the Kid with a dropkick which caused the Kid to stagger right back into the arms of Kidman who brought the Kid over with a release German Suplex.
Kidman dominated both Christopher and the Kid for the next several minutes. He would hit Christopher with a move, and would hit the exact same move on the Kid including a couple of missile dropkicks, powerslams, and even two piledrivers.
The Kid fought back once when Kidman went to pick him up as he hit Kidman with a couple of punches to the stomach and dropped him with a Rocker Dropper. The Kid turned around only to be smacked with a couple of punches by Christopher who then whipped him into the ropes. The Kid came off fast, but Christopher caught him and hit a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker.
Christopher walked over and picked Kidman up by the hair and hit him with a couple of punches causing Kidman to fall back into the corner. Christopher hit a couple more punches before whipping Kidman into the opposite turnbuckle. Christopher charged in with a splash and moonwalked backwards. This left him wide open for the Dragon Kid who jumped up on his shoulders and brought him down in a victory roll.

Christopher got right up and brought the Kid back down with a lariat. Christopher went for a cover, but it only got two. When Christopher got back to his feet he was met with a kick to the midsection by Kidman and dropped him with a jumping sitdown faceslam. Christopher was quickly picked back up by Kidman who lifted him up and dropped him with a bodyslam. Kidman made his way to the top rope and came flying off with the Shooting Star Press that connected perfectly! The Dragon Kid watched on as the ref dropped to his stomach and made the count.

Kidman got right back to his feet, and ducked under a spinning leg lariat and hit a kick to the midsection onto the Dragon Kid. A double underhook faceslam followed and it looked like the Kid was going to be pinned as well.
Kidman made his way to the top rope and came flying off with another Shooting Star Press, but this time it missed as the Dragon Kid rolled out of the way. Both men got back to their feet, but Kidman was hurting. The Dragon Kid quickly jumped onto the Kidman with a spinning headscissors which he turned into a cradle!!!

Kidman barely got out of it!
The Kid dragged Kidman over to the ropes and hit a ropeflip moonsault, two! A huracanrana followed, two again!!! The Kid was getting a little frustrated as Christopher finally rolled himself to the outside. Out came Scott Taylor to check on his fallen partner. This brought out Juventud Guerrera who stayed far away from Too Cool.
The Kid was ready to finish it as he went up the turnbuckles and waited for Kidman to get back to his feet. Once he had the Kid came flying off for the Dragon Rana, but Kidman caught him! POWERBOMB! Kidman didn't try for a cover as he went to the outside and got on the ring apron. Springboard somersault legdrop!! But Kidman still wasn't done! He dragged the Kid over to the turnbuckles and went up top, SHOOTING STAR PRESS! IT CONNECTS! Kidman hangs on for the cover!

(Dragon Kid retained the WWA Lightweight Title.)
The Dragon Kid was given the Lightweight Title which he quickly raised over his head, but Too Cool wasn't done. Christopher and Taylor entered the ring and hit the Kid from behind with a double clothesline. Juvy entered the ring, but was met with a double dropkick. Too Cool was cleaning house on the champ and his lackey.
Christopher picked the Kid up and dropped him with a bodyslam as Scott Taylor raised his leg and did a couple of jumps. We all know what that means as Taylor hit the Worm!!!
Somebody with a mask on just jumped over the guardrail! What the...he grabs a chair! Meanwhile Christopher makes his way to the top rope and is going to hit the Kid with the Tennessee Jam! The masked man hit Christopher with a chair!!! Christopher fell off the top turnbuckle and hit the mat hard. The masked man entered the ring and ducked under a Taylor clothesline.
THAT'S THE ULTIMO DRAGON!!!
Taylor turned around, but was met with a couple of sharp kicks to the legs and then the Ultimo Dragon blew some sort of green mist in Taylor's eyes! The Ultimo Dragon makes his way behind Taylor and hooks him in the Dragon Sleeper!!! Taylor goes down fast while Juvy and the Dragon Kid get to their feet.
The Dragon Kid saw his mentor in the ring and quickly went over to put the boots to Taylor as Juvy went over and picked Christopher up, Juvy Driver!
Some security ran down and finally tore the Ultimo Dragon off of Taylor, but Taylor was unconcsious. The Ultimo Dragon walked over and gave the Kid a big hug and then did the same to Juvy.
What a group! The Ultimo Dragon is in the WWA! WOW!
(We cut to the back where a bloodied Perry Saturn is talking to Dean Malenko.)
PERRY SATURN: I don't think I can go back out there. I can barely see straight.
DEAN MALENKO: Don't worry about it, it's taken care of. You just go out there and everything will work out like we talked about.
PERRY SATURN: It better because I am seeing two of you right now. It might be three, but I can't see out of my left eye.
DEAN MALENKO: Don't worry.
It was now time for the #1 contendership for the tag titles to be decided as Mike Quackenbush and D'Lo Brown will hook up with the Extremists.
(We cut to the back where the Extremists are standing.)
DEVON STORM: Mike, D'Lo, Eric, I don't know what you two have been smoking, but can I have some?
ACE DARLING: Shut up, Devon.
DEVON STORM: But I'm out.
ACE DARLING: So you three want to just come on the scene and take over the tag division, huh? Well, let me let you in on something, it ain't going to happen. Those tag titles belong around our waists not yours. You two are just a couple of never has beens that are never going to be with a manager that wishes he was a has been.
DEVON STORM: We are going to prove out there that we are still the best damn tag team the WWA has ever seen and get a shot at our tag titles in the process.
(We cut to Embry, D'Lo, and Quackenbush.)
D'LO BROWN: Devon, Ace, you think I am just somebody that has stepped onto the scene. You may have forgot, but I have been in the WWA just as long as you two. I've been here since the beginning just like you. So don't give me any of that crap about not earning this shot.
MIKE QUACKENBUSH: And while I may not have been here as long, in fact I have only been here a short while, I have already proved I am better than either of you. It is easy to see that you are just scared of us which is why you don't want us to get this shot.
ERIC EMBRY: Tonight I take my two students to the next level. After tonight they will become number one contenders for the tag titles and people will see just what a great teacher I am.
(Luckily Embry wasn't naked. Read Foley's book. To the match!)

#1 Contendership for the Tag Titles!
The Extremists vs D'Lo Brown & Mike Quackenbush
------------------------------------------------------------------------
D'Lo and Devon started this match off. D'Lo went to hook up with Devon, but Devon poked the eye and brought D'Lo down with a snap suplex. Just like that and the Extremists have the upper hand. That is the advantage of experience in the tag team ranks.
Maybe I spoke too soon as when Devon went to the top and tried a senton bomb, but D'Lo rolled out of the way! Devon made a huge mistake there. D'Lo got back to his feet and booted Devon in the stomach. A couple of punches and D'Lo then put Devon on the top rope. D'Lo climbed up with him and hit a top-rope Frankensteiner! What a big move to hit early on!
D'Lo didn't try for a cover and instead picked Devon up and pushed him into the turnbuckles. D'Lo hit a couple of kicks to the stomach which he followed with a couple of chops across the chest. D'Lo whipped Devon into the ropes, but stuck his head down too early and got a boot to the face for his efforts. Devon quickly made the tag to Ace who springboarded himself to the top rope. Devon hit D'Lo with a DDT and Ace came flying off the top with a kneedrop!
Ace got back to his feet and took D'Lo up with him. He hooked the arms allowing Devon to hit a jumping side kick. D'Lo stayed on his feet, but didn't even see Ace who charged him and knocked him down with a shoulderblock. Devon decided to exit the ring while Ace laid a few boots onto D'Lo.
Once D'Lo was up Ace set him on the top turnbuckle and Ace climbed up with him, belly to belly superplex!!! D'Lo was getting killed in there. Ace hit a series of headbutts before making the tag to Devon.
Devon came in and D'Lo tried to fight back as he punched him a couple of times, but Devon snuck in a poke to the eye that stopped D'Lo's offense. Devon then tagged back out. What the hell?
Ace came in and hit D'Lo with a couple of lariats. The Extremists were just dominating D'Lo and showing just how good a traditional tag team they can be. Mike Quackenbush wasn't impressed and was tired of waiting in the corner as he dropped off the ring apron and grabbed a chair. He slid into the ring and smashed the chair over Ace's head. Devon entered the ring and got the same. Quackenbush exited the ring and dropped the chair to the ground. He had evened things up.
D'Lo slowly crawled his way over to his corner while Ace did the same, but nobody was there! D'Lo reached out with his hand and made the tag to Quackenbush. Mike came in just as both Extremists were getting to their feet, but Mike leveled them with a double clothesline. Ace got right back up, but Quackenbush hit him with another clothesline this time sending Ace to the outside.
Quackenbush pulled Devon to his feet and whipped him into the ropes. Quackenbush caught him with a superkick on his return that knocked Devon down. Quackenbush dropped a couple of elbows onto Devon and called for a chair. D'Lo dropped down to the ground and threw in a chair. Quackenbush caught the chair and opened it. He got on the chair and came flying off with an Asai Moonsault just as Devon was getting to his feet! Mike held on for the cover!

kickout!
Mike got back to his feet as did Devon. Mike tried charging Devon, but Devon ducked and sent Mike flying over the top rope and to the floor with a back bodydrop. Devon quickly went over and grabbed the chair and set it up by the ropes. Devon ran at the chair, jumped onto it, and went flying outside with a senton!!!!
D'Lo and Ace both quickly got into the ring and Ace charged D'Lo only to run right into a big powerslam!!!

kickout!!
Devon picked Quackenbush up and whipped him into the guardrail. He charged in with a splash, but Mike moved out of the way and Devon hit chest first on the guardrail. The referee decided to go outside and try to break these two up.
In the ring Ace and D'Lo got to their feet at the same time, but it was Ace booting D'Lo in the stomach and dropping him with a DDT. Eric Embry took this time to jump up on the ring apron with a chair in hand. Ace saw this and got up off of D'Lo. Embry started jawing with Ace which caused Darling to dropkick the chair right back into Embry's face! Eric went flying backwards and crashed into the guardrail. Ace turned around, but walked right into Sky High! The ref slides into the ring and makes the count!

Rating: *** 1/4
Quackenbush whipped Devon into the announcer's table and entered the ring. He raised D'Lo's hand and both men celebrated. The crowd wasn't too happy with this result as near the end most of them were cheering for Devon and Ace.
D'Lo and Mike went to the outside and picked up their manager and headed to the back while Devon slid into the ring and checked on his partner.
This means that on our next PPV it will be Mike Quackenbush and D'Lo Brown versus the tag team champions!
It was now time for our Universal Title to be decided.
Perry Saturn came out first and he was just a bloody mess. The blood was still on his tights and his face, but luckily he had stopped bleeding.
Mike Awesome was out next and the entire arena rose to their feet and cheered on the big man. Awesome had the Universal Title around his shoulder and slowly made his way down the aisle. He got to the ring and stepped over the top. Things were about to get messy.
------------------------------------------------
Universal Title!
Mike Awesome(c) vs Perry Saturn
------------------------------------------------
Mike Awesome entered the ring, but was hit by a rapid series of forearms by Saturn. Saturn hit about four pushing Awesome into the ropes. From there he whipped Awesome into the ropes, but Awesome came flying off them with a clothesline that sent Saturn into a 360. Not a good way to start, Saturn.
Awesome picked Saturn up and threw him into the turnbuckles. He walked over and started pounding the hell out of Saturn. A couple of punches to the head, a couple to the stomach, and then a few more to the head. Saturn staggered out of the corner, but Awesome caught him before he did a Flair Flop and dropped him with a bulldog.
Saturn got back to his feet and we saw that he was busted open already. His cut had been opened back up and blood was pouring down his face. Awesome booted him in the stomach and brought him down with a gutwrench suplex. Awesome got to his feet and let the cheers sink in. Awesome went to the outside and grabbed a chair. Uh-oh, looks like Awesome is ready to make Saturn pay for costing him the World Title.
Mike Awesome re-entered the ring and smashed the chair over Saturn's head just as Perry was getting back to his feet. Perry tried to stay on his feet as he grabbed ahold of the ropes, but Awesome smacked him again with the chair and this time Perry hit the mat. Awesome raised the chair over his head andthe crowd was definately appreciative.
Perry Saturn rolled out of the ring and started walking down the aisle apparently wanting to head to the back and fight another day, but instead Mike Awesome jumped onto the top turnbuckle and hit Saturn with a tope! Awesome got right up and grabbed Saturn and threw him back into the ring. Saturn wasn't getting out of the match like that.
Saturn tried to hit Awesome with a dropkick, but Awesome just swatted him away. Saturn got right up and went for another, but it didn't phase Awesome. Saturn was getting a little scared and tried a clothesline, but ran right into a big boot.
Wait a second! That's Sid! He is running down the aisle. The referee sees him and goes to the outside and cuts him off. Thank goodness otherwise ...
RAIL JUMPER!!! RAIL JUMPER!!! HE HAS A SKI MASK ON!!! HE HAS ENTERED THE RING! HE JUST SMACKED AWESOME FROM BEHIND WITH A LEAD PIPE!!!! Awesome staggers forward and Saturn lifts him up!, DEATH VALLY DRIVER!!! SATURN HOOKS A LEG!!! NO!!!! THE REF TURNS AND ENTERS THE RING!!!

(Perry Saturn won the WWA Universal Title.)
This is a tragedy! Perry Saturn is helped to his feet by the masked man and is given the Universal Title! The crowd can't believe it! Saturn holds onto the belt, but has to be helped to the back by the masked man. Right before Saturn exits through the entrance curtain he raises the belt over his head.
They must of forgotten about Sid. Mike Awesome got to his feet and was a little woozy, but he was pissed off. He realized he had lost his title and went into an outrage. He booted the ref in the stomach and dropped him with the Awesome Bomb. He then saw Sid laying in the middle of the ring. Awesome went to the outside and got a table out from under the ring. He slid it into the ring and set it up near a turnbuckle. Awesome grabbed ahold of Sid and set him up on the top turnbuckle. He climbed up there with him and set him up, AWESOME BOMB OFF THE TOP AND THROUGH THE TABLE!!!!
Awesome left the ring, but it was very obvious he wasn't happy. Sid, meanwhile, had to be stretchered out.
What a turn of events! Whoever was under that mask cost Mike Awesome the title he has had since the title's beginning. Whenever you thought of the Universal Title you thought Mike Awesome, but now it's Perry Saturn's turn to bring some pride to the belt.
(We cut to the Hardy Boys in the back. Jeff looks ready, but Matt is staring up at the ceiling.)
JEFF HARDY: Now that Matt and I have settled our issues it's time for us to get back together and show the world what the Hardy Boys are all about. Matt and I are bringing it all to the table tonight and we plan on taking the tag titles home. Right, Matt?
(Jeff pats Matt on the chest, but Matt continues to stare up at the ceiling.)
JEFF HARDY: Bigelow, Lee, you two may think you are hardcore, but you haven't seen anything yet. Matt and I are going to do something nobody else has been able to, take you down!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tag Team Titles!
Bam Bam Bigelow & Brian Lee(c) vs The Hardy Boys
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The champs came out last and once they entered the ring the brawl was on. Jeff Hardy charged full steam at Bigelow, but was caught and powerslammed. Matt ran at Lee and had a little better luck as he dropkicked him which sent Lee falling over the top rope and to the floor. Matt springboarded himself to the top rope and came flying off and onto Lee with a moonsault plancha!
Bigelow was favoring his hand due to what happened to him on the last Terror, but at the same time he was in a pissed off attitude. He pulled Jeff to his feet and smacked him with a forearm and lifted him up high, Gorilla Press! Jeff was in pain as he sat up. Bigelow grabbed ahold a handful of hair and pulled Jeff back to his feet and lifted him up again and another Gorilla Press! Jeff was getting creamed.
Matt grabbed Lee and threw him head first into the ring steps. Lee hit them hard, but was getting right back up. Matt was ready as he hit a couple dropkicks to the knee in rapid succession. Lee went down to one knee and Matt hit him with a stiff kick to the side of his face.
Bigelow scooped Jeff up off the mat and hit him with a double of headbutts that sent Jeff back down to the mat and Bigelow followed it up with a diving headbutt. Jeff was apparently out of it which gave Bigelow the oppurtunity to bounce off the ropes and hit a monstrous splash! He stayed on top for the cover, but it only got two. Bigelow went to pull Jeff up, but Jeff brought him down in a small package, but the ref only got to two.
Matt picked Brian up and whipped him into the guardrail and entered the ring. Bigelow was back up and kicking the back of Jeff which gave Matt a chance to come up behind Bigelow and low blow him! Bigelow grabbed his groin and turned around only to get hit with a superkick. Bigelow went down and Matt made his way to the top rope. Matt came flying off with an elbow that connected.

kickout.
Lee was getting back up on the outside and went under the ring and grabbed a table. He slid it into the ring. He went back under and grabbed another table! He slid this one into the ring also. He entered the ring and Matt charged him, but Lee saw him and brought Matt down with a big boot. He set up one of the tables in the middle of the ring and picked Jeff up by his hair. Lee grabbed Jeff by the throat! He isn't going to...NO! Jeff brings his foot up that connects with Brian's groin! Brian Lee is in pain and Jeff brings him down with a DDT.
Bigelow is back up and sees Matt pulling himself up with the turnbuckles and then resting there. Bigelow charges in with a splash, but Matt moves out of the way and Bigelow rams himself into the turnbuckles. Bam Bam staggers back and right into Matt who brings him over with a German Suplex! What a move by Matt Hardy!
Jeff fights his way to his feet and sees Brian Lee also rising to his feet. Jeff kicks Lee in the stomach and goes for what appears to be a vertical suplex, but Lee blocks it and lifts Jeff up instead. But he didn't drop him! Instead he set him on the top rope!
Matt and Bigelow got up and Matt hit the first move as he booted Bigelow in the stomach. He then grabbed him for what was going to be the Twist of Fate, but Bigelow countered it with a Northern Lights Suplex. Instead of hanging on for a bridge he releases it and walks over and grabs the table and drags it over to where Jeff and Lee are.
Jeff is trying to fight his way off the turnbuckles, but Brian hits him with one good punch that stops it. Lee climbs up with Jeff and now both men are standing at the very top! Lee grabs Jeff by the throat!!! NO!!! PRIME TIME SLAM OFF THE TOP AND THROUGH THE TABLE!!!! JEFF IS DEAD! Lee stays up on the turnbuckle and looks down as Bigelow bounces off the ropes and hits a splash!!! COVER!!!

MATT BREAKS UP THE COUNT!
Lee is pissed as he jumps off the top turnbuckle and hits Matt with a double axehandle. Matt staggers backwards and Lee nails him with a clothesline. Matt tries to get back to his feet, but Lee starts laying in the boots.
Bigelow picks Jeff up and drags his thumb across his throat. He is calling for the end.
Matt is picked up by Lee, but Matt hits Brian with a low blow!!!
Bigelow has Jeff up on his shoulder, GREETINGS FROM ASBURY PARK!!!! COVER!!!!

MATT DIVES OVER AND BREAKS UP THE COUNT AGAIN!
Lee rolls to the outside and grabs one of the tag titles. He slides back in and just as Matt gets back to his feet he is creamed by a shot with the belt. Matt goes down, and Lee makes the cover! KICKOUT AT 2! Lee is starting to show signs of frustration here. Bigelow gets up and walks over to Lee. They have a short conference before deciding what they want to do.
Bigelow walks over and grabs the other table that Lee had sent in the ring and sets it up in the middle of the ring. He grabs Matt by the hair, but gets dropkicked from behind by Jeff! Bigelow turns around and eats a spinning leg lariat. Lee tries to stop Jeff's offense, but Jeff jumps up on his shoulders and brings him down with a huracanrana.
Jeff goes to the outside and goes under the ring and gets another table. Alot of tables must be under there. Jeff sets it up in the entrance aisle. He enters the ring and grabs Lee and throws him to the outside. Jeff picks Lee up and slams him onto the table and hits him with a couple of punches before making his way up the ring apron and then to the top turnbuckle. What in the world? SWANTON BOMB TO THE OUTSIDE!!! IT CONNECTS AND LEE AND JEFF ARE SENT THROUGH THE TABLE!
Bigelow gets to his feet and pulls Matt up by his hair, but Matt sneaks in a boot! TWIST OF FATE! TWIST OF FATE!!! MATT HAS BIGELOW DOWN! Matt continues to lay on the mat and can't make the cover.
Jeff Hardy gets back to his feet and is holding his neck. He sees Bigelow down in the ring and slides in. COVER!

kickout!!!
He waited too long. Matt Hardy rolled to the outside and went to the back. For what I have no idea.
Jeff, meanwhile, lifted Bigelow back up and hit him with a couple of punches and whipped him into the ropes. As Bigelow came back Jeff went to the air and hit a back elbow.
Matt was coming back to the ring and he had a pane of glass! What is he planning on doing with that? He slides into the ring and Jeff pulls Bigelow up. Wait a second. Matt has that weird look on his face again. Matt swings...AND HITS JEFF!!!! The glass shattered all over the ring and Matt rolls to the outside! HE FLIPS THE BIRD! What the hell is going on?!?
Bigelow looks on in shock, but that doesn't last longas he reaches down and grabs ahold of Jeff by the hair. Jeff is busted wide open across the forehead and has some small cuts on his back and arms. That glass tore him up. Bigelow lifted Jeff up, GREETINGS FROM ASBURY PARK!!!

Brian Lee and Bam Bam Bigelow defeated The Hardy Boyz when Bigelow pinned
J. Hardy with the Greetings from Asbury Park in 0:14:02.
Rating: * 3/4
(Brian Lee and Bam Bam Bigelow retained the WWA World Tag Team Titles.)
Matt Hardy continues his way to the back, but is getting bombarded by trash. Matt flips the crowd off and goes through the exit.
Bigelow gets up and staggers around the ring before falling in between the middle ropes. He lands on his feet luckily and walks over and helps Brian to his feet. Brian and Bigelow each grab a belt and held to the back while several officials run down to check on Jeff. Billy Kidman wasn't far behind. Kidman ended up lifting Jeff on his shoulder and carrying him to the back. At least Jeff has one real friend.
(We cut to the back where Jyushin Lyger is.)
JYUSHIN LYGER: Robert, the time is here. It's time to prove who the better man really is. This has gone on for way too long and I am sick of it. I never meant to injure you, but you wouldn't let it go. And then you tried to injure me. That is something that just pisses me off more and more everytime I think about it. You tried to take away the food out of my kid's mouth. I can't stand for that and neither could any other professional wrestler. It's time for payback, Thompson. It's time for us to meet for the third time and what I plan on being the last time. I am sending you to the hospital tonight.
Jyushin Lyger comes down the aisle to huge ovation from the crowd. He is coming off a big victory over Dean Malenko in a non-title match at Terror and it has to give him some momentum going into this TV Title shot.
(We now goto Robert Thompson who has the TV Title around his shoulder.)
ROBERT THOMPSON: Jyushin, I plan on beating you tonight. I have to beat you tonight. It was you that tried to injure me for life. It was you that started this all. You jammed my neck backwards and into a chair. You spiked me onto a chair. How you can live with yourself I will never know. But it is time for me to get my revenge. It's my payback! Lyger, on on one, we are going to prove who is better. Who is tougher. Who deserves this TV Title. But really, isn't the TV Title more of afterthought right now? I know it is the last thing on my mind. The only thing on my mind right now is taking your head and ripping it off your body.
I might be going to the hospital tonight, but I'll be damned if I don't take you with me.
Strong words from the champ and now he is coming down the aisle to a nice large round of boos. Things were about to heat up.
------------------------------------------------------
TV Title!
Robert Thompson(c) vs Jyushin Lyger
------------------------------------------------------
Robert slid into the ring and right off the bat charged Jyushin, but Lyger was ready for him and brought him down hard with a powerslam, two count! Whoa! Jyushin was just a second away from getting a very quick pinfall on the champ. Both men got right back up, and Jyushin ran at Thompson with a clothesline, but Robert ducked under it and backdropped Jyushin over his shoulder and Jyushin went flying to the outside. Jyushin landed on his side, but got right back to his feet. Robert was waiting on him inside of the ring and once Jyushin was up to his feet Robert grabbed the top rope and springboarded himself to the outside and nailed a plancha. Thompson grabbed the advantage.
Thompson picked Lyger up off the mat and dropped him with a bodyslam on the hard concrete. Thompson rolled back into the ring and set himself up for another plancha apparently. Jyushin was a little bit longer in getting back to his feet, but once he was up Thompson springboarded himself to the outside again, JYUSHIN CAUGHT HIM!!! He charged the ringpost and rammed Thompson's back into the metal. Lyger rammed Robert's back into the post a couple more times before releasing Robert. He threw him back into the ring and joined him.
Lyger dropped Thompson with a snap suplex. Thompson fought his way to his feet, but Lyger kicked him in the stomach. Lyger positions Robert between his legs, he can't be going for the Lyger Bomb this early! We wouldn't find out as when Lyger went to lift Robert up Thompson grabbed ahold of his head and brought him down with a small package! 2 count.
Both men got up, but Thompson hit a couple of elbows that connected with the side of Jyushin's head. Lyger was a little woozy from those blows and Thompson used it to his advantage as he grabbed ahold of Lyger by his hair and hurled him over the top and to the outside. Looks like Thompson wants this match to stay a brawl.
Thompson went out to get at Lyger and threw Lyger face first into the ringpost. Lyger got a hand up to help soften the blow, but he still hit it pretty hard. Thompson lifted Lyger up high and dropped him neck first on the guardrail. Lyger was gasping for breath as Thompson threw him back into the ring.
Thompson bounced off the ropes and went for a diving shoulderblock ,but Jyushin was lucky enough to duck out of the way and Thompson hit the mat. Thompson got up, but was met by a couple of stiff kicks by Lyger and a few chops. Thompson fought right back with a couple punches of his own. It looked like Thompson was going to get the upper hand in this brawl, but Lyger hit a single-leg takedown out of nowhere.
Both men got right back to their feet and Thompson was pissed. We found out why as his nose apparently hit the mat in that takedown and his nose was either rebroken from his match with Chris Benoit or it was just bloodied. Thompson booted Lyger in the stomach and went for a vertical suplex, but Lyger slid out of it and smacked Thompson with a superkick. Thompson didn't go down, but this gave Lyger an opening as he grabbed Thompson and brought him down with a gutwrench suplex.

2...
kickout!
I don't think anybody really thought that would be the end. Lyger pulled Thompson to his feet and picked him up for what looked to be an inverted atomic drop, but instead walked over and sat him up on the top turnbuckle. He climbed up with him, SUPERPLEX! Lyger apparently hit his head while executing the move as he didn't for a cover and just laid there for a few moments.
Surprisingly both men got back to their feet at about the same, but Lyger got in the first few moves as he hit Thompson with a couple of punches and then whipped him into the ropes. Thompson came off the ropes, and nailed Lyger with a clothesline, but Lyger no-sold it! Lyger yells for him to "Bring it, Motherfucker!", but Thompson boots him in the stomach and lifts him for a vertical suplex, NO! BRAIN BUSTER! Lyger was spiked into the mat!
Thompson didn't even try for a cover as he picked Lyger back up and hit him with a backbreaker. He wasn't satisfied with just one, though, as he hit three before he dropped Lyger to the mat. Thompson rolled to the outside and grabbed a chair and slid it into the ring. Things were definately not looking good for Jyushin Lyger.
Jyushin got to his feet, but Thompson bounced off the ropes and hit a flying crossbody press with the chair! I've never seen that before!

kickout!
Thompson grabbed ahold of Lyger and whipped him into the ropes. Lyger came off and ducked under a clothesline, and Thompson put his head down way too early on the rebound as Lyger hit him with an on target koppo kick. Thompson fell to the mat in a heap as did Lyger. Jyushin still had something in him, however, as he got back to his feet and dragged the chair into the middle of the ring. He proceeded to pick Thompson up, TOMBSTONE ON THE CHAIR! TOMBSTONE!!! ON THE CHAIR! Thompson appeared to be out of it, but Lyger wasn't done.
Jyushin picked Thompson up and threw him into the ropes. Thompson came bouncing off and Jyushin went to the air and wrapped his legs around Thompson's head, FRANKENSTEINER ONTO THE CHAIR! Jyushin spiked Thompson's head into the chair! But Lyger still didn't go for the cover!
Jyushin fought his way back to his feet and grabbed the chair and crashed it over the corpse of Robert Thompson. And again! Several medics ran down the aisle to try and help out, but as they entered Jyushin pushed them back outside. This was going to end, one way or the other.
Jyushin picked Thompson up, but as he was lifting him up Robert hit a low blow! EL FAUL!!!! Lyger bent over grabbing his crotch and Thompson jumped to his feet and grabbed Jyushin, DOUBLE ARM DDT! JUST LIKE THAT!
1...

KICKOUT!!!!
JYUSHIN KICKED OUT! HE KICKED OUT! Thompson didn't even seem to care. He picked Jyushin up and grabbed the chair. He crashed it over Jyushin's head! And again! Lyger didn't go down, but he staggered around the ring and walked right into a boot to the stomach, DOUBLE ARM DDT! This time Robert didn't go for a cover. Instead Robert dropped a couple of legs across Jyushin's neck. He then went outside and grabbed a fan and pulled him over the guardrail. He pulled a belt off the fan! Thompson slid back into the ring with belt and started whipping Jyushin with it! He whipped him all over his back and luckily for Jyushin that he wears wrestling gear with some cloth on his back. But still, it wasn't doing much to protect him.
Once Robert was done with that he grabbed ahold of the belt and wrapped it around his fist making sure the belt buckle was on his knuckles.. Jyushin was slowly getting to his feet, now bleeding from the back, and Robert smacked him with the belt. Lyger went down and Robert dropped to his knees and started raking the belt buckle across Jyushin's forehead. This caused not only Jyushin to be busted open, but Jyushin's mask to be torn a little. Once Robert saw this he got this odd looking smile. HE GRABS THE MASK! HE IS TRYING TO TEAR OFF JYUSHIN LYGER'S MASK! The crowd was pouring boo's down on Thompson as he tried desperately to take off his mask. Lyger was doing everything he could to hold onto his mask, and just barely snuck in a fist to the groin or we would of seen Lyger without his mask.
Jyushin was busted open around his forehead and now his mask was also torn, but luckily still in one piece and on his face. Lyger was more than a little upset over Robert's actions. He got to his feet and unwound the belt buckle off of Thompson's fist. He is whipping Thompson with the belt and Thompson doesn't have any type of material protecting him! Lyger kept up the whipping and smacked him around for a little over 20 seconds before growing tired. He picked Thompson up and whipped him into the turnbuckles and charged in with a koppo kick that connected! Thompson slumped over in the corner trying to catch any breath he could, but Jyushin wasn't letting up. He grabbed ahold of Thompson and dragged him to the center of the ring. He set him up between his legs!! HE'S GOING FOR IT! LYGER BOMB CONNECTS!!!!

HE KICKED OUT! THOMPSON GOT OUT OF IT!
Lyger didn't even care. He picked Thompson up and threw him to the outside. Thompson went flying over the top rope and crashed into the guardrail when he hit the floor. Thompson used the guardrail to keep himself standing while Jyushin climbed to the top turnbuckle. HE SAILS OFF WITH A PLANCHA! THOMPSON MOVES! JYUSHIN CRASHES INTO THE GUARDRAIL! Thompson grabs a handful of hair and throws Jyushin back into the ring and rolls in with him. He grabs ahold of Jyushin and DOUBLE ARM DDT! AGAIN! COVER!

NO! NO! NO! NO! HE GOT A SHOULDER UP! HE GOT A SHOULDER UP!
Thompson was now finally starting to show a little frustration. But than an idea popped into his mind. He grabbed the chair that was still in the ring and put it in the middle of the ring. He picked Jyushin up and hook him around the waist from behind. He was going for a Germ...JYUSHIN WITH A BACKWARD KICK! Thompson is in pain and he releases his grip! Jyushin goes behind, arms up, full nelson! NO!!! NOT AGAIN!!! DRAGON SUPLEX ONTO THE CHAIR!!!! NO!! That's the same move that almost broke Thompson's neck back at Winterfest!!! HE MAY HAVE BROKEN HIS NECK! JYUSHIN HANGS ON WITH A BRIDGE!

KICKOUT! KICKOUT! THOMPSON KICKED OUT!
What is driving these two men to this extreme?!? They are refusing to lose! They will not accept defeat!
Both men slowly got to their feet and both men were grabbing at their necks. They are determined to break eachother's necks! Jyushin boots Thompson in the stomach! He lifts him up and Lyger Bomb only he drops him right on his head! Thompson isn't moving at all. Lyger goes outside and under the ring. He gets a table and slides it into the ring. He sets it up in the middle of the ring . He picks Thompson up and sets him on the top turnbuckle facing towards the crowd. Uh-oh. Lyger goes outside to the ring apron and then climbs up top. He slaps Thompson across the face and then hooks him up between his legs. He isn't going to try and Lyger Bomb Thompson off the...NO! Thompson punched Lyger in the stomach! And again! Lyger is bent over gasping for air! THOMPSON GRABS HIM!!! DOUBLE ARM DDT OFF THE TOP AND THROUGH THE TABLE!!! THOMPSON'S ARM IS DRAPED ACROSS LYGER'S CHEST!!

Robert Thompson pinned Jyushin Lyger with the Double Arm DDT in 0:22:38.
Rating: **** 1/2
(Robert Thompson retained the WWA Television Title.)
THOMPSON DID IT! He got the win! Unfortunately it didn't look like he was going to be able to enjoy it. The medics at ringside were quickly joined by several others and they had two stretchers. Thompson was loaded onto one and Lyger the other. They were quickly carried to the back and into an awaiting ambulance. Things got a little scary there. Both men had to of suffered severe neck injuries, but I guess that is what they set out to do in the first place.
Thompson is still the TV Champ, and proves he deserves it. Lyger also showed alot of spirit here tonight. But that is all just an afterthought when you consider that two careers might be over.
And to think, we still have a main event to see!
( A man driven by the gold he owns. A man desperate to not only retain his gold, but to prove he is the best this sport has ever seen.
A former friend that's destiny lies with the gold. He wants to prove to his former best friend that he is better and that he will be a better champion.
A brother looking for revenge. He blames his brother's injury on two men. Tonight he not only tries to get his revenge for his brother, but tries to take away the most important thing from the three men he hates most.
An outcast looking to fit in. He has never fit in his entire life, but possibly with a World Title he may be finally accepted. But even this is more of an after thought as he despises all three involved for the reasons they are involved.
When you draw all four into the same ring together with the World Title it will be awesome! )
(We cut to Raven.)
RAVEN: Who would of thought it? I come in at As Good As It Gets, destroy all three main eventers in mere seconds, and now I have a World Title shot. This is a shot I don't plan on wasting. The society that we live in is based entirely on who is at the top of the heap. It is all about who rules over who. But to rule you must be on top. In the wrestling world that means becoming the WWA World Champion. So to rule I must win tonight. That is something I plan on doing.
("Come Out and Play" by Offspring)
Raven walks out to a mixed reaction, but it was large. Raven is a favorite on winning this thing as he has been pretty much unstoppable since coming into the WWA a month ago. He has ran the Giant out of the WWA and also led Brian Lee and Bam Bam Bigelow to the World Tag Team Titles. Now it's his time to prove he can be at the top of the WWA just like he has been the top of many other federations. Raven enters the ring and slumps in a corner.
(Now to Ken Shamrock.)
KEN SHAMROCK: Son's of bitches. That is all I can think about. You are all son's of bitches! Dean Malenko, you broke my brother's legs. Chris Benoit, you didn't try to save him. Raven, you are just an asshole that wormed his way into this shot simply because you want the World Title. I want that World Title, but not for the same reasons. I want it because I know that is what these other three men want and I will do anything to cause them pain. I want that title simply so Malenko, Benoit, and Raven won't have it.
Frank, I don't know how Benoit brain washed you, but I hope I can talk some sense into you later.
It's knuckle up time, boys, hope you're ready.
("Highway to Hell" by AC/DC)
And here is Ken Shamrock! He walks out to a huge round of boos. Nobody likes him anymore. The fans don't mind him being mad at Malenko, because it was Malenko's fault that Frank was injured, but everybody knows it wasn't Benoit's. Chris was just a second too late, and you can't blame a guy for that, unless, of course, you are Ken Shamrock. Shamrock just shrugs the jeers off and continues his way to the ring. He slides in and Raven pulls himself up. They meet in the center of the ring and start badmouthing eachother.
(Cut to Chris Benoit.)
CHRIS BENOIT: Dean, this started between you and me and it is going to end tonight. The reason it is going to end is because I am taking the World Title. Until I get that World Title off of you this will never end. You and I both know it. But I am ready for it to end and so I will beat you tonight, but not just you. I am going to beat Shamrock and Raven as well. This victory should of been mine at As Good As It Gets, but that's okay. I'll take it tonight. I am beating you tonight, Dean, because I have to get my revenge.
Ken, you know it wasn't my fault that your brother was injured, but we are way past that now. I was willing to forgive you because you were under stress, but not any more. I am going to take you down tonight. As for you
As for you Raven, everybody here knows that you are only here for the World Title. There are three of us here to settle a score, and just one guy trying to capitalize on it and take the title in the confusion. That isn't going to happen.
Chris Benoit isn't going out to the ring tonight, it's going to be the Crippler. That World Title will be around my waist by the end of the night.
("Song 2" by Blur)
Chris Benoit errupts from the entrance curtain and the entire arena jumps to it's feet and cheers on Chris. Chris has been on a journey and tonight it may end. He has to beat Dean Malenko and this might be his last chance. He is coming off a huge win over Robert Thompson on Terror and so that may help him, but even if he had lost I don't think it would of hurt him. He just needs that title and he isn't going to stop until he gets it. Benoit enters the ring and Shamrock pushes Raven back and nails Benoit with a punch! Benoit fires back! Shamrock retaliates! We have a slugfest!
(Now, Dean Malenko.)
DEAN MALENKO: I am the World Champion. That says it all. I am the best this sport has to offer. Until I am beaten this gold belt proves that I am the best. No matter what anybody else says unless you have the gold you are always just second best. Being the best is what drives me. It's what makes me who I am. So if I lose this title I am no longer considered the best, and I can't live with that. I can't live with being second best. I must always be on top, I simply have to be. I will not let Shamrock take this title. I will not let Benoit take it, and I will not let Raven take it. This title makes me the best and I must be the best.
("War Pigs" by Black Sabbath)
Dean Malenko is walking out with his title. He is the World Champion. Not much more you can say. He has beaten everybody that has stepped in front of him. Chris Benoit, Ken Shamrock, Frank Shamrock, Too Cold Scorpio, the Giant, Jyushin Lyger, you name it. Malenko has a tougher match here though as he has three guys he has to beat. Malenko runs down the aisle and slides in and Raven kicks him in the stomach. The match is on.
---------------------------------------------------
World Title!
Dean Malenko(c) vs Chris Benoit vs
Raven vs Ken Shamrock
---------------------------------------------------
Chris and Ken were still exchanging fists, Benoit hit a couple of punches, and then Ken would return with a couple of his own. Chris finally got an arm up to block one of the shots and hit Ken with an especially brutal one that sent Ken back into the corner. Benoit followed up with a couple of hard chops to the chest.
Raven already had the advantage on Malenko as he booted him a couple of times in the stomach and then whipped him into the turnbuckles. Raven charged in with a clothesline, but Malenko moved out of the way and Raven smashed into the turnbuckles. Raven came staggering out of the corner and Malenko dropped him with a back bodydrop.
Chris hit Ken with several chops across Ken's chest that were heard throughout the arena and then lifted Ken up and dropped him with a vertical suplex. Ken got up to his hands and knees, but Benoit hit him with a couple of kicks to his head.
Malenko saw Benoit occupied with Shamrock and decided to join in. Benoit never saw Malenko coming as Malenko bounced off the ropes and nailed him with a clothesline. Benoit went down and Malenko grabbed ahold of his legs and brought an elbow across his thigh and hooked him into a kneebar submission. Benoit tried to get out of it by grabbing ahold of Malenko's head and scratching at his eyes, but Malenko didn't let go.
Raven got up and saw that Shamrock was up. He walked over and hit him from behind with a forearm and then another. He whipped Shamrock into the ropes and took the wind out of him with a punch to the midsection. Shamrock bent over gasping for air and Raven brought him over with a gutwrench suplex.
Benoit finally got himself out of the kneebar as he started to punch the kidneys of Malenko. Malenko couldn't stand this for very long. Malenko got up and was met with a couple of swift kicks to his midsection by Benoit and Benoit took him down with a clothesline. Malenko went down and rolled to the outside. Benoit turned around and saw Raven trying to choke Shamrock out, and so he walked over and hit Raven with a kick to the back of his head causing Raven to release his grip. Benoit grabbed a handful of hair and lifted Raven up and hurled him to the outside. Benoit climbed out after him.
Malenko finally saw an opening and reentered the ring. He walks over and picked a winded Shamrock up. He whipped him into the ropes,but Shamrock reversed it! Malenko came bouncing off the ropes on the rebound, BELLY TO BELLY SUPLEX BY SHAMROCK! Shamrock screamed out in fury and jumped onto the second turnbuckle.
Benoit grabbed ahold of Raven and whipped him into the guardrail and hard. Raven hit with his lower back and came staggering off only to be blasted with a lariat. Benoit picked Raven back up and lifted him up on his shoulder and ran at the ringpost, but Raven slid out and gave Benoit a big push leading into Benoit running full steam into the ringpost and possibly knocking himself out.
Malenko slowly got to his feet only to see Shamrock jump off the second turnbuckle and hit a big Frankensteiner. Malenko wasn't moving after that. Shamrock got back to his feet and saw Malenko just laying there. He grabs the ankle! ANKLE-LOCK SUBMISSION! SHAMROCK HAS IT ON!
Benoit was using the ringpost to keep himself on his feet, but Raven grabbed him from behind and threw him into the ringsteps. Benoit hit them hard and the steps went flying. Raven walked over and grabbed one of the steps and lifted it up over his head. He threw it onto Benoit! It connected with Benoit's lower back and Benoit screamed out in pain.
Back in the ring Malenko was desperately trying to get to the ropes, but Shamrock kept pulling him back when he got close. Malenko was going to have to submit and soon or his ankle would be snapped off. Wait a second! Malenko sends his other backwards and it connects right with Shamrock's jaw! And again! Shamrock releases the hold! Malenko gets right to his feet, but then falls right back down as he can't even walk on his sore ankle.
Raven dragged Benoit out from under the steps and smashed his head into the announcer's table. He walks over and gets a bunch of electric cords and starts choking Benoit with them! Benoit grabs at the cablese, but Raven continues to choke him with them.
Malenko used the ropes to get back to his feet and Shamrock was back up as well. Shamrock walked over to Malenko, but Dean kicked him in the stomach as he got close. Shamrock bent over and Malenko dropped him with a DDT.
Benoit brought his leg back and it went right between Raven's and it connected down low. Raven released the cables as he went down to his knees in pain. Benoit closed his hand up in a fist and start pounding away on Raven.
Malenko was starting to show some signs of being tired, but he still had it in him to lift Shamrock up and whip him into the turnbuckles. Shamrock hit hard and Malenko basically jogged in with a dropkick. Malenko was having alot of problems with his ankle. He picked Shamrock up and set him up on the top turnbuckle.
Benoit continued to punch at the forehead of Raven and we saw that Raven was opened up above his eye. Blood was starting to drip down his face. This didn't stop Benoit though. Instead it appeared to cause him to focus even more on that spot and started really hammering away. Raven got up a couple of hands and pushed him off. Benoit came right back, but Raven smacked him in the stomach. Raven grabbed ahold of Benoit and pushed him up onto the announcers table. Not again.
Malenko had Shamrock up top and lifted him onto his shoulders and stood up. What in the world? Malenko came jumping off and pushed Shamrock into the air! TOP-ROPE GUTBUSTER! Shamrock had to of broken a couple of ribs there.
Raven climbed up with Benoit and booted him in the stomach. Benoit leaned over and Raven set him up between his legs, PILEDRIVER THROUGH THE TABLE! Benoit just layed in the remnants of the table, but Raven was back up in a hurry. He apparently saw what happened in the ring. He rolled into the ring just as Malenko was getting back up and took Malenko down with a clothesline.
Shamrock was clutching at his ribs and looked to be in a lot of pain. Raven wakled over and grabbed him by the head and lifted him up and clutched him under his arm, EVENFLOW DDT!!! He floats over and makes the cover!

On the outside Benoit got to his feet, but was busted open. He slowly walked over and grabbed a chair. He rolled back into the ring at about the same time Raven did on the opposite side. Benoit walked over just as Raven started punching Malenko in the corner. BENOIT CRASHED THE CHAIR OVER RAVEN'S HEAD! Raven went down in a heap.
