("All in the Family" by Korn)
It's Darren Drozdov! He walks down the aisle and enters the ring. He grabs a microphone from the ring announcer and has something to say.
Darren Drozdov: I think it is time for me to get that title shot. I have worked my way up the ladder! Just look at my record. I have beaten John Kronus! I destroyed Mosh! I beat...well, I've beaten Kronus and Mosh, dammit! That proves how tough I am. I want a title shot tonight, and I want it against Mike Awesome!
(The crowd rocks the arena with cheers at the mention of his name.)
Darren Drozdov: So come on out here, Mike, and accept my challenge!
("Come With Me" by Puff Daddy)
And Mike Awesome steps out from the entrance curtain! He already has a mic in hand.
Mike Awesome: Let me get this straight, asshole. You want to fight me in this ring tonight?
Drozdov: Well, now that I think about it maybe...
Mike Awesome: Forget it, pal. You wanted it? You got it!
(And with that we signed our main event...a main event with Droz in it? God help us.)

The Extremists vs Juventud & Dragon Kid
----------------------------------------------------------
Devon Storm and Ace Darling are preparing for their #1 contenders match with D'Lo Brown and Mike Quackenbush. They lost the tag titles back at As Good As It Gets so they desperately need to win the match at Drawing of the Four to get their rematch. If they don't win than it might be awhile before they challenge for the tag titles.
Juvy and the Dragon Kid have their feud going on with Too Cool. The Dragon Kid will defend his Lightweight Title against Brian Christopher and Billy Kidman at Drawing of the Four while, just signed, Juventud will face Scott Taylor.
Both teams need a win here to gain some momentum going into the PPV.
Juventud and the Dragon Kid were much faster than Devon and Ace which surprised quite a lot of people due to the Extremists always using their speed in their matches. Devon and Ace had to rely on power moves because of this and it took them awhile to settle in, but once they did they were just as deadly as ever. In fact, they were possibly as good as we have ever seen them.
Juvy and the Dragon Kid seemed out matched simply because this was the first time they ever teamed together. They screwed up a couple of tag team moves and it really cost them in the long run. Darling and Storm used their greatly to their advantage and dominated most of the late stage of the match. Darling eventually dropped the Dragon Kid with a Doctor Bomb and Storm held Juvy off to get the 3 count.

Darling pinned Dragon Kid after the Doctor Bomb in 0:10:03.
Rating: ** 3/4
A big win for the Extremists while the Dragon Kid was obviously upset at his loss. And he proceeded to take it out on Juventud as he verbally attacked him. This continued until Too Cool ran down the aisle and sneak attacked Juvy and the Kid. Too Cool got rid of both men and started to celebrate, but the Extremists weren't too happy about another tag team sharing their glory so Storm hit a clothesline on Christopher while Ace did the same to Taylor to get them out of the ring.
The Extremists than did their own celebrating as they each got on opposite turnbuckles and raised their arms in victory. Of course, Quackenbush and D'Lo were ready for an opening as they ran down the aisle with chairs. They entered the ring and D'Lo cracked Ace with a chair across the back. Devon heard this and got off the turnbuckle only to be nailed with a chair by Quackenbush. D'Lo and Quackenbush repeatedly nailed the Extremists with chairshot after chairshot before security ran down and broke it up.

John Kronus vs Super Nova
-----------------------------------------
John Kronus will be facing New Jack at Drawing of the Four in a Dream Partner match. Basically, you get to pick a partner of your choosing. There are a lot of rumours going around about who the partners will be, but only Kronus and New Jack know for sure and possibly even their partners.
Super Nova has basically became Raven's job boy in the Nest. He might be able to get out of that role with a constant streak of victories, but he needs to do it soon.
Nova didn't look to be having any better of a time than normal early on as Kronus pretty much dominated him with some brawling skills that he had learned while teaming with New Jack. Not to say he didn't use his martial arts as well, because he did. Nova fought back the best he could with the offense he has, but it just didn't seem to be going very well for him.
Pretty much the whole match went with Kronus dominating for awhile, Nova fighting back with a little offense, but Kronus quickly stopping it and taking back control. This ended when Nova went for a flying crossbody off the top, but Kronus caught him and dropped him with a powerslam. Kronus quickly climbed to the top and hit his 450 to get the win.
John Kronus pinned Super Nova with the 450 Splash in 0:07:47.

Billy Kidman vs Scott Taylor
----------------------------------------
This was sort of a swap of Lightweight matches that will happen at Drawing of the Four. Kidman will face the Dragon Kid and Brian Christopher at the PPV for the Lightweight Title while Taylor fights Juventud Guerrera. Both men wouldn't mind a win here, especially Kidman.
This was the typical match you would expect at of these two. Kidman went to the air more often than not while Taylor stayed on the mat and tried that approach. It would be Taylor going for a powerbomb that Kidman turned into a facebuster that ended it for Scotty. A Shooting Star Press followed and the three count was delivered.
Billy Kidman pinned Scott Taylor with the Shooting Star Press in 0:07:35.
Rating: * 3/4
Kidman was more than happy with his victory, but Brian Christopher wasn't as he charged the ring after the match and attacked Kidman. Taylor was up shortly and joined in. The Dragon Kid and Juventud tried to join in, but simply got thrown out of the ring for their efforts.
This went on for quite a bit until Jeff Hardy ran down the aisle and hit both with dropkicks and bodyslamed both. Taylor and Christopher decided it was better to wait until the PPV and not get too beat up before then as they slid out of the ring and headed to the back.
Matt Hardy made his way out after this was done and entered the ring. He walked right up to Jeff and motioned towards Kidman. We couldn't make out what they were saying, but Matt obviously wasn't happy.

Luck of the Draw (G!L!W!)
-------------------------------------
We waited to see who's name would be announced and when "War Pigs" came over the speakers were knew we were in for a treat. Dean Malenko was the first man picked! This would be his first Luck of the Draw Match and this could easily be the best Luck of the Draw match we have ever had.
The second opponent was quite a bit of a dissapointment as Steve Strong's name was announced. At least it wasn't a Headbanger.
Malenko was trying to be very careful as he knew he couldn't use up all his energy just one day before the Drawing of the Four. And so he did the best thing he could, he mat wrestled. Leglocks, armbars, headlocks, everything! Steve Strong had no idea what the hell to do as he has never been in the ring with somebody like Dean.
Malenko wore Strong down and because of this it took quite a bit longer to defeat Strong than it normally would have. Malenko eventually hooked on his Texas Cloverleaf and by this time Strong was screaming "I quit."
Dean Malenko made Steve Strong submit to the Texas Cloverleaf in 0:13:55.
Rating: 3/4*
Malenko has to be cursing his bad luck right now as even though it didn't take much to beat Strong, he still used some energy that would of been helpful going into Drawing of the Four.

Universal Title!
Mike Awesome(c) vs Darren Drozdov
---------------------------------------------------
Can we say complete and utter ass-kicking? I thought we could. Droz must have been half asleep when he asked for this match. Awesome just beat the living hell out of him with all his moves. He even showed us a top-rope German Suplex, a move we hadn't seen yet in the WWA. Very impressive might I add. Awesome wasted no time in hitting him with an Awesome Bomb. But he wasn't done as he hit another and then a Running Awesome Bomb. He hooked a leg and the three count could of been thirty and it wouldn't of mattered.
Mike Awesome pinned Darren Drozdov with the Awesome Bomb in 0:06:00.

The Drawing of the Four is TOMORROW!!!! (Well, not really...whenever I write it up is when it is.)
