C.M. Punk vs. Teddy Hart grudge match
The two tie up, and Teddy applies a side headlock. Punk twists out and locks on a front facelock, but Teddy escapes from that by prying Punk's arm loose and applies his own front facelock. Teddy twists out and applies an armbar, but Punk eventually reverses that back into a front facelock. The two fight for control and take one another down onto the mat. Punk initially retains the front facelock, but Teddy twists out in ultra-quick motion and reverts back to his own front facelock, only this time a grounded version. Punk twists out of that and locks on a hammerlock, which Teddy twists out of and counters into a Leg Muffler (Brock Lock). Punk rolls through that and ends up with a shoulder-mounted choke, where he's laying with his legs wrapped around Teddy's head, trying to choke him. Teddy rolls over until Punk is on his chest, and then locks on a single-leg Boston Crab. Punk fights out of that and rolls Teddy onto his back, at which point he locks on a hold where he has Teddy caught in a Grounded Front Bodyscissors Hold, and at the same time is yanking the head of Teddy (whose legs are draped over Punk's shoulders) forward, towards his (Punk's shoulder) shoulder. Teddy eventually fights up to his feet, while Punk is still laying on his back, trying to yank Teddy's head toward his shoulder. Teddy fights out of the hold with stiff punches to the face. Teddy then bends forward and puts his head in between Punk's legs, before rolling over so that his back is draped against Punk's chest, and his legs are above Punk's shoulders. The two men lock waists and bridge upward, and once they're both on their feet, they rotate around like a pendelum two consecutive times, and end up standing back-to-back. Punk takes Teddy down to the mat with a backslide, but Teddy kicks out at 2, and immediately applies a front armbar. Within a few seconds, he decides to twist around and lock on a side headlock. Punk surprises him by rolling him backwards with a schoolboy rollup, but Teddy kicks out for a second time, and then rolls through - without even getting back up to his feet - into a jujigatame. Punk eventually starts fighting back and gets back up to his feet, while Teddy still has the jujigatame applied. They pull a page out of the Benoit vs. Malenko book, as Punk slowly begins lifting his arm up into the air while Teddy's entire body is still holding onto it. Teddy eventually ends up in an Electric Chair position, sitting on Punk's shoulders
- Teddy does a Shoulder Spin 'Rana, and then reverts back to
the grounded armbar.
- Teddy does a shoulder spin, and then does a cool armdrag.
- Teddy does a shoulder spin, and then tries a sunset flip, but
Punk bounces him back upward and delivers a Gory Special.
- Teddy does a shoulder spin, and then grabs the nearby
turnbuckle.
- Teddy executes a shoulder spin and ennds up in position to be
Powerbombed, but instead Punk tries a Vic Grimes/Vinny
Massaro-style Face Eraser (Overhead Face-First Powerbomb). Teddy,
however, doesn't go face-first into the mat behind Punk, and
instead grabs onto the top ring rope that's nearby to him. At the
same time, Punk catches Teddy's legs under his armpits, so Teddy
is now hanging parallel to the ring ropes, with his legs caught
under Punk's armpits and his arms outstretched, holding onto the
ring ropes. Punk tries to pull Teddy away from the ropes, but
Teddy holds on. At that point, Punk decides instead to just alter
his hold on Teddy, so he now has Teddy's legs draped over his
shoulders and not under his armpits. Punk then catapults Teddy by
the legs and tosses him into a flip motion over the ring ropes
and crashing down to the ringside concrete below, as Chris Lovey
shouts, "You want shelter, Teddy? You got shelter!"
- Teddy executes a shoulder spin, and tthereby ends up in position
to be powerbombed. However, he instead attempts to roll forward
and take Punk down with a sunset flip, only to have Punk flip him
back upwards the way he came. It looks like Teddy may execute a
Code Red. However, instead of seesawing back into the sunset flip
motion (as would happen if he were to be going for a Code Red),
Punk's flipping him back upward the way he came causes Punk to
let go of his grip on Teddy's legs, allowing Teddy to land on his
feet, in the process of which Teddy did a 90º rotation and
grabbed onto Punk's arm, and in the process took Punk down to the
mat, so he now has a Fujiwara Armbar applied on the mat.
- Teddy executes a Russian Leg Sweep, and then rolls through and executes a second one. He rolls through once more and tries a final Russian Leg Sweep, but Punk fight out of it. The straight-edge superstar tries to counter by executing a sideslam/tilt-a-whirl-style lift (picks him up by his waist), but as he's lifted upwards, Teddy locks his legs around Punk's head and shifts his body's position so that he comes down exactly the same way he was picked up, and in the process sends Punk rolling across the ring with a Headscissors Takeover. Teddy then lifts Punk up and delivers some stiff forearm shots to the head before trying to whip him into the ropes. Punk reverses and sends Teddy in. Punk bends forward in preparation for a back body drop, but Teddy stops short and kicks the living sh*t out of his mid-section, and then runs back off the ropes the way he came. As Teddy bounces back off, Punk charges towards him, but Teddy slides through his legs and quickly hightails it back to his feet. Punk turns around and charges at Teddy, but receives a drop toehold for his troubles.
Instead of letting Teddy do a pseudo backflip back into a standing position, Punk - at the last possible moment - raises his head and - at the same time - puts both hands on the bottom of Teddy's leg, so that Teddy's leg is now caught like a horsecollar, draped around Punk's neck. Punk then swings Teddy all the way around and pancakes him face-first into the mat, with a singles version of The S.A.T.'s Washing Machine. Punk then transitions into a Leg Muffler hold, and adds in an armlock at the same time.
Or, Teddy could complete the Rocker Dropper
kipup and land on his feet before
- Punk attempts the Punkhandle Piledrivver (Pumphandle
Piledriver), but Teddy lands on his feet in a position where he
has his head under one of Punk's armpits, as if he's about to be
DDT'ed. So, Teddy locks his arms around Punk's waist, lifts him
up into the air, and drops him crotch-first onto his knee with an
atomic drop, and then runs backwards off of the ropes. He tries a
Swinging DDT, but instead of falling forward onto his head after
he finishes spinning around 180º, Punk instead drops Teddy
crotch-first onto his knee with his own atomic drop!
Punk then grabs one of Teddy's legs and executes a dragon screw
legwhip. Teddy does a 180º spin and ends up being pancaked
face-first into the mat, and then rolls over onto his back.
Seeing an opening, Punk applies The Devil Lock
(Sharpshooter w/ modified Armlock applied simultaneously)!
- Teddy tries to whip Punk into the ropes, but Punk reverses and sends Teddy in. Punk executes a corkscrew lift, but Teddy flips out, lands on his feet, and - all in one motion - takes Punk over via an armdrag. Punk charges back towards him, but receives a hiptoss, followed by a snapmare. With Punk sitting up on the mat, Teddy runs off of the ropes behind him and dropkicks him in the back of the head.
Teddy tries to whip Punk across the ring, from one corner to another, but Punk reverses and sends Teddy across the ring, and follows closely behind him. Teddy springboards up onto the middle ringpost, and then leaps backwards, rotating 90º (so that he's now facing Punk) and trying a crossbody block. Punk catches him in a fallaway slam position, though, and then swings him into what looks to be a Rock Bottom of some sort (like Chris Hero, Chris Sabin, D'Lo Brown, etc. use versions of), but instead just RAMS him several feet forward into the ringpost with an STO-style move, in one of the SICKEST visuals ever seen in an ROH ring! Teddy makes it look as if the back of his head hit the ringpost really hard, causing him to drop down into a sitting position in the corner (like Raven does before his matches). While Punk shows off to the crowd, Teddy quickly blades the back of his head, so that in the next few minutes, his hair becomes a bloody mess. Anyway, though, Punk then comes back towards Teddy, and chokes the life out of him with his boot. Punk then runs off of the ropes that are attached to the adjacent corner and delivers a Homicide-style Running Knee Scrape to the Teddy's face not once, but TWICE. Teddy looks to be damn near dead, by now. Punk argues with the ref a bit and jaws with the crowd before lifting Teddy back up to his feet. He starts decimating the Hart family prodigy with multiple European uppercuts, and then tries to whip him into the ropes. Teddy tries to counter it, but Punk refuses to go anywhere, and instead takes a step back toward Teddy and drills him in the side of the head with a stiff forearm smash. Another forearm shakes Teddy, but he remains on his feet, and a third has the same effect. Punk then pulls a page out of Val Venis' playbook and sets up as if he was going to Irish whip Teddy across the ring, but instead of letting him go, he holds onto Teddy's arm and across the ring slightly behind him. When Teddy ends up reaching the opposite ropes and rotates so that his back is against them, Punk executes a stiff running knee smash to the gut, stunning Teddy for a few seconds. Following a few stiff slaps (not chopes, but slaps) to the chest, Punk whips Teddy into the ropes and tries a lariat. Teddy ducks and runs off of the ropes again, and this time swings up onto Punk's back, as if for a crucifix takedown, but instead changes all in one motion into a sunset flip, with which he takes Punk down. The Punker kicks out at 2 and hightails it back up to his feet. Teddy charges towards him, but Punk surprises the Hart family member by executing his signature Tilt-a-Whirl Backbreaker, and with that, Teddy is back in Punk's control.
Teddy ends up in a crucifix-type position, where he's leaning backwards against the ropes, with both of his arms draped over them and his legs spread out so that the only things that are keeping him up are that his arms are hooked around the ropes and he's sort of sitting on the middle ring rope. It's not possible for him to get out of the position, either, because the top and middle ring ropes have been intertwined with one another, with his arms caught in between. Punk uses Teddy's predicament to his advantage and decimates him with rights and lefts before choking him with his boot. Punk then runs off of the ropes and charges at Teddy, but at the last possible moment Teddy escapes from the crucifix position and ducks down, causing Punk to go flying over the ring ropes and crash out at ringside!
- Punk chops the sh*t out of Teddy in the corner before
whipping him hard across the ring into the opposite
corner, and following after him. Teddy bounces off of the
ringpost with a nasty thud and walks right into a fireman's carry
lift by Punk, who then charges into the center of the ring and
executes a Running Rolling/Somersault Samoan Drop (former-FMW
wrestler Ricky Fuji's Kamikaze move)!
- Punk whips Teddy into the ropes and bbends down, as if preparing
to execute a back body drop. Teddy attempts a sunset flip, but
Punk holds onto his legs and seesaws him back upwards the way he
came, only for Teddy to rotate his body in midair and move over
to the side (rather than the back) of Punk's body, and execute an
armdrag. He then charges towards Punk again, this time leaping
into a bodyscissors, bouncing back up, and tossing Punk back
across the ring with an armdrag.
- Punk whips Teddy into the ropes and ppresses him up into the air
as if he's executing a back body drop, but instead tries to catch
him with an Ace Crusher (anotherwards, The Messiah's Carlito's
Way/Kaos' Kaos Cutter) as he comes back down. Instead of letting
Punk grab his face and execute the Ace Crusher, though, Teddy
applies an inverted facelock in midair and lands on his butt,
awesomely countering into an Inverted DDT.
- Punk whips Teddy into the corner and charges towards him. Teddy
jumps up and uses his legs to wrap around Punk's head, as if he's
going to execute a huracanrana that sends Punk somersaulting into
the corner. Punk, though, steps backwards a few feet, and in the
process sends Teddy flipping backwards, but all the while moving
forward (like one does with a shooting star press). He catches
Teddy with a front facelock and DDTs him into the mat right out
of midair!
- Punk Irish whips Teddy from one corneer across the ring to
another, and then charges towards him. As Punk nears him. Teddy
springs up onto the middle turnbuckle and then flies off and over
Punk, who he takes down into a sunset flip. Punk, though, rolls
through and lifts Teddy up, as if he's going to powerbomb him,
but Teddy reverses the move and instead Huracanranas Punk into
the ringpost. Punk lands in a position where he is now crammed
into the corner upside-down. Teddy then climbs out onto the
apron, catapults himself over the ropes and dropkicks Punk in the
face!
- Teddy tries an Irish whip, but Punk ttries to reverse and send
Teddy into the ropes. Teddy refuses to be sent in and instead
holds on and executes an armringer, before performing the Triple
Bypass (a Leaping Rolling [Victory Roll-style,
only on the arm] Jujigatame Takedown Submission) takedown and
locking on a Jujigatame submission.
- Punk whips Teddy from one corner acrooss the ring to the
opposite one. He then charges towards Teddy, but the "Loose
Cannon" gets a boot up into his face, and Punk stumbles
backwards several steps. Teddy then charges out of the corner
towards him, and Punk executes a Tilt-a-Whirl Lift variation in
which - all in one motion - he turns into a Sitdown Shoulder
Armbreaker (Picture Punk facing one way, and Teddy behind him
with his side facing Punk's back. Punk would wrap his arm under
Teddy's armpit and up over his shoulder [the same position that
an armdrag starts from], and then sit down, driving Teddy's upper
arm and shoulder down onto his own shoulder. Only Punk does this
move from a tilt-a-whirl lift, all in one motion, with the only
time Teddy touches the ground being when Punk drops down and
drives his arm into Teddy's shoulder, around the same time at
which Teddy's feet land on the mat [while his arm and shoulder is
being brought down onto Punk's shoulder. Go get a G.I. Joe figure
or something and figure out how it looks.). Punk doesn't end
there, though, and instead immediately transitions right into a
Hammerlock Backdrop Suplex (like AJ Styles did to Paul London at
Night of the Grudges), dropping Teddy into the center of the ring
(they were near the corner).
- Punk's whip is reversed, as Teddy sennds him into the ropes. The
Canadian sensation executes a tilt-a-whirl lift and turns it into
a gutbuster, before performing his trademark Jumping
Straightjacket Piledriver.
- Punk whips Teddy across the ring, froom one corner into another,
and charges after him. Teddy tips up and over Punk and lands on
his feet Punk turns back around to face Teddy, at which point
Teddy charges towards him. Punk catapults him up and over his
head, as if for a back body drop, but Teddy lands on the middle
ring buckle, with his back to Punk. Punk charges towards him, but
Teddy backward kicks him in the face, causing him to stumble
backwards and turn 180º in the process, so that the's now facing
away from Teddy. At this point, Teddy backflips off of the middle
buckle and lands with a front facelock on Punk. It looks as if he
was going for a quebrada DDT, but Punk refuses to be taken down
into the DDT part of the move, and instead pushes Teddy back into
the buckle, so that he rams into it chest-first and then stumbles
backwards, right into a full nelson by Punk. It looks as if Punk
is going for a Dragon Suplex, but Teddy drops down to a
sitting position on the mat, and then rolls backwards, in the
process pointing his feet upward and manuevering them under
Punk's armpits. Punk wrenches down on the legs and wheelbarrow
lifts Teddy upwards. In the process of this move, Punk ends up
with his head under Teddy's armpit (the beginning position for a
backdrop suplex), so that if he wanted to, he could just backdrop
suplex him. This isn't what happens, though, as Teddy - as soon
as he lands on his feet - starts running up the turnbuckles,
pushes off of the top one, and - all in one motion - does a 180º spin in the process (so that he's now facing towards
the opposite corner), and tries to execute a bulldog, much like
Billy Kidman used to do in WCW.
~Instead, though, Punk makes sure that Teddy
lands on his feet and - since he (Punk) already has his head
under Teddy's armpit, he does his own 180º
spin and executes the Pepsi Twist (Backdrop Suplex Setup into
180º Spinning Lariat Takedown), the lariat part of which causes
Teddy to do a sick-looking backflip, in which he lands on the
back of his head and neck in the corner.
~Instead, though, Punk tosses Teddy several feet forward, so that
he lands near the center of the ring. Then, when Teddy turns
around, Punk charges out of the corner and sends him crashing
down to the mat with the Rolling Stossel (Roaring Forearm Smash).
(leaning towards this one)
- Punk tries to whip Teddy across the rring from one corner to
another, but Teddy reverses and sends Punk crashing into the
corner. Teddy then charges across the ring towards Punk, but Punk
gets a boot up into his face, and Teddy stumbles backwards a few
feet. Punk then steps out of the corner, sets up for a
pumphandle, and lifts Teddy up onto his shoulder, as if he's
going to go for a British Bulldog-style Running Powerslam.
Instead, though, he tries to swing Teddy around into a DDT
(picture the move that Danny Doring did to GQ Money at XPW
Hostile Takeover; "White Trash" Johnny Webb also used
this move back in 1999 and 2000, although I can't think of any
other examples to help you picture it.), but in mid-move, Teddy
wraps his arm around Punk's head and lands on his feet, so that
he's now got a front facelock applied. Teddy then tries to
execute a Run-the-Ropes Tornado DDT, but Punk refuses to be taken
down into the DDT part of the move, and Teddy therefore ends up
landing on his feet with the front facelock still applied. Almost
immediately, Punk lifts Teddy up as if he's going to deliver an
inverted atomic drop, but instead rotates about 135º and bounces
Teddy's outstretched legs off of the nearby top ring rope. Punk
then rotates Teddy back in the direction they came, only instead
of just dropping him back onto his feet, he continues twirling
him a total of about 270º, and simultaneously sits out, dropping
Teddy face-first into the mat with a Slingshot INVERTED Blue
Thunder Bomb (So, anotherwards, a Belly-to-Belly Lift into a
Cradle Sitout Inverted Powerbomb!)!
- Punk whips Teddy across the ring fromm one corner to the other,
only when he's about a third of the way across the ring, Teddy
executes a baseball slide, and then hightails it back to his feet
and turns toward the corner he came as Punk charges out of it.
Teddy leaps up into the air and lands on Punk's shoulders in an
attempt at a Huracanrana, but Punk refuses to be taken over via
the move and instead tosses Teddy off so that the Canadian
sensation does a backflip. Teddy lands on one leg, with the other
in a kneeling position, and without hesitation, Punk charges
towards him and executes the Shining Wizard!
- Teddy whips Punk across the ring fromm one corner to the other,
and then charges after him. Punk gets a boot up into his face and
Teddy stumbles backwards several feet. Punk charges out of the
corner at him and attacks with the Rolling Stossel (Roaring
Forearm Smash), but Teddy ducks, and then - when Punk turns back
around to face him - slingshots off of the middle turnbuckle,
does a 180º twist in midair, and tries to do a Trent Acid-style
Swinging DDT, but instead gets caught in midair by Punk, who
ensures that Teddy lands on the mat in position for a
sick-looking Crossface hold!
Have Punk duck a lariat somehow and do the Back Drop Suplex into Lariat thing.
Hiptoss that's blocked. Lariat attempted. Ducked. Caught with head under armpit and Punk with Back Drop Suplex into Lariat thing.

RESULTS OF THE LUCHA
XTREME WRESTLING 11/15/03 EVENT:
1. In the Xtremely fast paced opener, "The
Mysterious Man In Black" Zokre defeated Shark Boy when Zokre
hit a springboard senton followed by a springboard moonsault.
The Solution & Spider came down to the ring with their
manager John Shane. Shane explained to the crowd that the reason
that Spider is with them is because Shane made a promise to
Spider's mother on her deathbed that he would do whatever it took
to make Spider a man. He told Spider to watch and take
lessons from the Solution.
2. The Solution (Papadon & Havoc) defeated The Outkast Killaz
(Oman Tortuga & Diablo Santiago). Throughout the match,
Spider was physically and verbally abused by John Shane and the
Solution. Papadon went to hit Oman Tortuga with the ring
bell. Spider took the bell away from Papadon and went to
hit him with it. Papadon ducked and Spider accidentally hit
Tortuga with the ring bell which lead to the Solution hitting the
Problem Solver for the pin.
After the match, John Shane berated Spider and asked him if he
was ready to become a man, because he had signed him to a match
against...Supreme!
3. Supreme easily defeated Spider by giving him a powerbomb from
inside the ring to a table that was on the floor. After the
match, The Solution carried Spider to the back.
Following the match, we cut to the video screens were we saw
footage from earlier in the day of Smoke Dawg trying to enter the
building. The security guard working the door informed
Smoke Dawg that he was not booked and he would not be allowed in
the building. Smoke Dawg attacked the security guard and
made it clear that somebody was gonna get "smoked"
tonight.
4. In a contendership match for the LXW Trios Title, Ultra Zero
(Ultramantis & Mister Zero) & Gran Akuma defeated the
team of The Conundrum (Jigsaw & Rorschach) & Hallowicked
after Jigsaw was pinned.
5. In the final contendership match in the LXW Suicidal Title
Tournament, "Vicious" Vic Grimes defeated the Grimm
Reefer. This no holds barred match saw the use of ladders,
tables and chairs in original and innovative ways. Grimes
ended up putting Reefer through a table with a senton off the
stage area for the pin. As soon as the three count was
rendered, Supreme appeared on the video screens applauding Grimes
on his victory. Supreme said he couldn't wait to face
Grimes and Corporal Robinson in the 3 way war to crown the first
LXW Suicidal Champion.
6. After a brief intermission, Mexico's Most Wanted (Damien 666
& Halloween) defeated The Aerial Xpress in match that gave
new meaning to Xtreme Lucha Libre tag team action. MMW hit
Montazuma's Revenge on Quicksilver for the pin.
We once again cut to the video screens which showed Cloudy
dancing to his own beat outside the arena. His tag team
partner The American Wild Child tried to get him to focus his
attention and clear his head for the match tonight. I'm not
so sure that Cloudy understood what AWC was saying because AWC
was ranting and raving in Spanish.
7. "The Hardcore Homo" Angel came out and told the
crowd that his scheduled opponent had not shown up to the
arena. He said that he knew that Scorpio, Jr.'s opponent
was no where to be found either. He then offered to take
the semifinal slot in the LXW Title Tournament. Scorpio,
Jr. came out and the match was on. It was a wild brawl
throughout the building that eventually saw Angel pin the Lucha
Libre superstar with a senton off the top rope. The referee
did not see Scorpio's foot on the rope and awarded the match to
Angel.
8. The tag team of Phoenix Star and TARO defeated Cloudy and The
American Wild Child
when TARO hit a lift assisted top rope hurricarana. After
the match, Smoke Dawg hit the ring. He threw TARO to the
floor and took out everyone in the match with a running
somersault plancha to the floor. Smoke Dawg took the mic
and asked why he wasn't booked? He asked if it because he
didn't wear a mask? He refused to leave until someone gave
him an answer. This brought out "M-Tizzle" Mike
Tobin who was in the back. He told Smoke that the reason he
wasn't booked wasn't because he didn't wear a mask, it's because
"he sucked."
9. Smoke Dawg defeated "M-Tizzle" Mike Tobin with a
pedigree underhook legdrop.
We then return to the video screens where we see that Chi Chi
Cruz is still searching for two more members to complete the
greatest six man tag team ever assembled. He then gave a
"tryout" to All $ Is Legal.
10. In a contendership match for the LXW Trios Title, Los
Lunatics defeated Chi Chi Cruz and All $ Is Legal. Chi Chi
was more concerned with a female fan at ringside who was going
crazy for him even more than the actual match. Chi Chi
eventually hopped the guardrail, grabbed the fan by the hand and
walked out the front door with her. This left All $ Is
Legal outnumbered which eventually caused them to be defeated by
Los Lunatics.
11. In an AMAZING Luch Libre Main Event, "1000% Guapo"
Shocker defeated his arch rival Ultimo Guerrero to advance to the
finals of the LXW World Title Tournament. Words
cannot do this match justice, as both men gave it their all in
their attempt to gain victory. The crowd was blown away
both men's performances and thos was a perfect Lucha Libre match
up.

- Daniels tries to whip Sonjay from one corner to the other,
but Sonjay holds on and refuses to go anywhere, instead opting to

- Daniels sits Sonjay on the top bucklee and - from a standing
position on the mat - attempts an Iconoclasm, but Sonjay fights
it off with kicks to Daniels' back. When Daniels turns back

Huracanrana) that he hit on Mikey the night before, but Daniels
ends up catching him and refuses to be taken over into the 'rana

him to land on his feet (as opposed to having him execute the
DDT) and immediately lifts him into a Fireman's Carry, which he
coverts into a Michinoku Driver II! Nosawa then goes up top and
attempts a Diving Headbutt Drop, but Funaki rolls out of the way
and Nosawa eats nothing but mat!
- Nosawa lifts Funaki up for a powerbommb, but Funaki takes him
over with a huracanrana. Nosawa uses the momentum to cause Funaki
to continue rolling, as if to attempt a sunset flip pin, but
Funaki continues to roll so that he ends up backwards rolling
back to his feet, at which point he Japanese Dropkicks the face
of Nosawa, who is sitting on the mat!
- Rob Van Dam vs. Sonjay Dutt
- The Amazing Red vs. Rey Mysterio
- America's Most Wanted (Chris Harris & James Storm) vs. The World's Greatest Damn Tag Team Period (Charlie Haas & Shelton Benjamin)
- "American Dragon" Bryan Danielson vs. Chris Benoit
http://users.techline.com/ahohoho/pictures/dagger.jpg
- Benoit executes a Gutwrench Suplex, but while in midair,
AmDrag shifts his weight so that after Benoit has finished
rotating him and he (AmDrag) lands on the mat, not only does
AmDrag have a Crossface applied, but it's Benoit that - because
he lands face-first - takes the brunt of the bump, rather than
AmDrag!
- Benoit hits two consecutive Rolling GGerman Suplexes, but AmDrag
escapes a third attempt with an inverted drop toehold and
immediately attempts to apply an STF. He's relentless in his
attempt to apply it, no matter how aggressively Benoit tries to
block it, but Benoit eventually succeeds in escaping it by
rolling up and over the back of AmDrag so that he ends up on the
other side of his body, giving him a split second in which AmDrag
is unsure what has happened to lock on the Crippler Crossface.
Benoit uses this moment intelligently and applies the crossface.
AmDrag - a blood-covered mess by this point - has his neck
wrenched back at a sickening angle, but no matter how great the
pain is, refuses to tap out! However, after about 45 seconds, he
ends up passing out to the hold, giving Benoit the Knockout
victory!
Benoit is not finished, though, and starts to repeatedly stomp on AmDrag before reapplying the Crossface to add the exclamation point. He eventually departs from the ring, leaving AmDrag in a pool in his own blood.
- AJ Styles vs. Chris Jericho
- Jericho attempts The Breakdown, which he used for awhile in
the WWF (the same as Jeff Jarrett's "The Stroke"), but
AJ fights out of it with back elbows to the face before rotating
his body a bit, grabbing Jericho, and executing a T-Bone Suplex
Lift into a Gutbreaker Drop!
- Jericho whips AJ into the corner and follows after him. AJ
attempts a tipup, but Jericho stops short and catches his legs on
his shoulders before catapulting him high into the air and over
the ring ropes. AJ lands on the apron, though, and Jericho
charges at him, only to receive a headbutt to the gut. AJ then
starts climbing up to the top buckle, but Jericho attacks him
with forearms, knocking him back onto the apron, before sending
him crashing down to ringside with his signature Slingshot
Dropkick!
- AJ whips Jericho into the ropes and ffollows after him. Jericho
attempts a Lionsault (Quebrada) Press, but AJ ducks out of the
way and Jericho lands on his feet. AJ then executes his own
Quebrada and lands behind Jericho, with an inverted facelock
applied. AJ looks to take him down into an Inverted DDT,
completing his signature sequence, but Jericho instead rotates
90º and lifts AJ up into a Fireman's Carry.
- AJ attempts his signature Vertical Suuplex into Hangman's
Neckbreaker, but when Jericho lands on his feet behind him, he
refuses to be taken down via the neckbreaker part of the move.
Instead, he uses his arm that's on the side farthest away from
AJ's head to grab the wrist on AJ's arm that's wrapped around his
head (in an attempt at executing the neckbreaker). While gripping
that wrist, he pulls away from AJ and rotates about 180º in the
process, so that the two end up standing a few feet away from
each other, facing the same away, with their arms outstretched
towards their opponent, whose hand they're gripping with their
own hand. Realizing that Jericho's escaped the move, AJ yanks
Jericho's arm in his direction so that the former-WWF champion
stumbles in his direction and executes a lariat. Jericho, though,
ducks under it and ends up with his head under AJ's armpit (as if
AJ was about to execute a running bulldog). Jericho then attempts
a Belly-to-Back Lift into a Backbreaker, but when he rotates his
foe's body, AJ wiggles out of Jericho's grip (Jericho is holding
AJ at about the same level as his head, in preparation for
dropping him into the Backbreaker) and drops off of Jericho's
shoulder, landing on his feet behind him. AJ then tries his own
Belly-to-Back Lift into a Backbreaker, and while at the same
level as AJ's head, in preparation of being dropped into the
Backbreaker (the same position AJ was in), Jericho wraps his arm
around AJ's head and uses his free hand to punch him in the face
a few times. This serves to weaken AJ and lets Jericho use his
weight to pull AJ over and execute a side headlock takeover,
bringing him down to the mat. Instead of staying there, though,
Jericho lifts AJ back up to the mat and immediately executes a
Northern Lights Suplex, but instead of bridging, rolls through
and - after fighting off some attempts to escape by AJ - executes
a second Northern Lights Suplex. Again, he rolls through and back
to his feet, from which position he attempts a third suplex.
Whenever he tries to execute the move, though, AJ nails him in
the gut with a knee strike, three of which are enough to give him
(AJ) a moment to recover. After that, AJ locks down on his front
facelock on Jericho, sets up for a suplex, only to execute a
modified Swinging Neckbreaker where he swings the long way around
instead of the short way (i.e. B-Boy's Plex-Breaker or Sonny
Siaki's move)! Both wrestlers sell this sequence as having taken
a lot out of both of them, laying on the mat for a number of
seconds as the ref begins a 10 count.
- AJ now applies a back waistlock, looking for a German suplex. Jericho, though, uses back elbows to AJ's head to fight out of the hold, and then grabs AJ's left arm with his own left arm. Jericho proceeds to rotate do a rotating-like pivot, using AJ's arm as a pole, and ends up behind AJ and with a hammerlock applied. Jericho then proceeds to set AJ up in a pumphandle position, using the arm that he's already gripping as the one that sticks upward (AJ's right arm, meanwhile, is stuck through his leg and gripped by Jericho's right arm, in preparation for the pumphandle lift). Jericho then pumphandle lifts AJ up onto his shoulder, as if setting up for a British Bulldog-style Running Powerslam
- Chris Hero vs. Kurt Angle
- Hero attempts a German Suplex, but Angle fights out with
back elbows and then swings around so that he's standing behind
Hero and has his head stuck under his armpit. Angle lifts his foe
up for the Angle Slam, but Hero drops out, lands on his feet, and
runs off of the ropes. Angle tries a lariat, but Hero slides
through his feet, climbs back up to a standing position, and
immediately attempts a Roaring Elbow. Angle ducks and catches him
in position for a t-bone suplex, but Hero elbows the back of
Angle's head repeatedly in order to escape and then takes him
over via judo-style armdrag throw, landing him right in position
for a Fujiwara Armbar, only with Angle on his back instead of his
stomach!
- Hero attempts a running bulldog out oof the corner, but Angle
fights out of it and sets up for a German suplex into the
ringpost. Hero tries to fight out with back elbows, but Angle
ducks one of them and the momentum causes Hero to swing around
180º, landing him right in position for the next spot - Angle's
SICK Belly-to-Belly Overhead Suplex into the ringpost!
- Hero attempts the Hero's Welcome (Lasst Rites), but loses his
grip on Angle as he rotates around, thereby letting Angle go
free. Hero turns around and charges at the Olympic Hero with a
Yakuza Kick, but Angle ducks and when Hero comes running back
toward him, executes a Belly-to-Belly Overhead Suplex.
- CM Punk vs. Matt Hardy Version 1.0
- Homicide vs. John Cena
- Cena attempts the F-U, but Homicide drops out, lands behind
him, and pushes him into the nearby ringpost. Cena bounces
backwards, turns around, and just BARELY ducks a Yakuza Kick. He
then gut kicks Homicide and sets up for the ProtoPlex, but
Homicide fights out with knee lifts to the face and then runs off
of the ropes, only to charge right into a Spinebuster!
- Homicide lifts Cena up onto his back for the Cop Killa, but
Cena drops out, lands on his feet, and immediately leaps towards
Cena's legs, taking him down all in motion via a schoolboy rollup
for 2.
- Randy Orton vs. Xavier
- Jericho attempts his old WWF finisher, the Breakdown (a.k.a.
Jeff Jarrett's "The Stroke" move), but Daniels counters
into his signature Curry Cradle (cradle Inverted Russian Leg
Sweep-style pin) for 2!
- Daniels attempts the Last Rites, but he uses too much momentum,
causing Jericho to swing all the way around so that Daniels ends
up losing his grip on him and he is freed from the hold. Daniels
immediately attempts a back elbow, but Jericho runs under it and
attempts a Lionsault press. Daniels ducks this and when Jericho
lands on his feet, Daniels charges at him with a Yakuza Kick.
Jericho ducks, though, and delivers a spinning heelkick!
- "The Fallen Angel" Christopher Daniels vs. "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels
- Brock Lesnar vs. Samoa Joe
- Early in, Joe runs off of the ropes and attempts a lariat on
Lesnar three consecutive times, but Lesnar continually refuses to
budge. Joe tries a fourth lariat, but Lesnar surprises him with a
massive shoulderblock. Lesnar follows with some elbow smashes to
the back of neck before beating Joe down in the corner with some
chops. Joe absorbs several of these before ducking one and
delivering several stiff forearms to Lesnar's face before
attempting an Irish whip. Lesnar reverses and tries a lariat, but
Joe ducks and uses a schoolboy rollup for 2. Joe now resorts to
some knee smashes to the back of Lesnar's head before lifting him
back up and executing some European uppercuts. Some kicks follow,
as Joe backs Lesnar into the corner, and Joe then attempts to
Irish whip Lesnar, but it's reversed and Joe is sent into the
opposite ringpost. Lesnar charges at him and eats a boot to the
face, but Joe then proceeds to walk into a back elbow to the gut,
followed by some forearms to the back of the neck. Lesnar then
proceeds to lift Joe up for a body slam, but Joe drops out, lands
behind him, and pushes him into the nearby ringpost. Lesnar
bounces backwards...right into a Hangman's Neckbreaker from Joe.
- Joe runs off of the ropes twice and eeach time delivers a
running kick to the side of Lesnar's head, but when he tries a
third, he's surprised by Lesnar's running back elbow, which
knocks him down to the mat!
He then proceeds to lift Joe back up and rake his throat across the top ring rope before whipping him into the corner.

Michinoku Driver II), but Juvi drops out and lands on his feet
behind him. He applies a back waistlock and Taka charges into the
ring ropes. Taka holds onto the ropes, while Juvi bounces and
rolls backward until he's back on his feet. Taka charges at Juvi,
but surprises him by baseball sliding through his feet and by the
time Juvi realizes what Taka did and turns around, Taka is ready
and immediately delivers a stiff low dropkick to Juvi's right
leg, taking it out and making him fall forward to the mat. Taka
applies a Crucifix Kneebar, but Juvi eventually grabs the ropes
and forces him to break the hold.
- The Amazing Red vs. Dragon Kid
- The H8 Club (Nick Gage & Nate Hatred) vs. Kintaro Kanemura & Ryuji Yamakawa
- B-Boy vs. Satoshi Kojima
- B-Boy attempts an Irish whip, but Kojima holds onto his arm, refusing to go anywhere, and and leaps toward him with a forearm. B-Boy ducks and when Kojima - who lands on his feet - turns back around so that he's facing his foe, applies a 3/4 bulldog facelock (stunner hold) and charges into the center of the ring, attempting a Running Koji Cutter. B-Boy, though, refuses to be taken down with the move and - instead - applies a cobra clutch, stopping Kojima in mid-run, and hits a SICK Cobra Clutch Overhead Suplex, dropping him right on the back of his head!
- Doug Williams vs. Taiyo Kea
- EMBLEM (Masato Tanaka & Shinjiro Ohtani) vs. The Prophecy (Christopher Daniels & Donovan Morgan)

Highlights:
- Dragon Kid charges at Tajiri, who's in the corner, and

Dragon Kid lands on the top buckle and attempts the Dragon Ray,
where he blindly leaps backwards and attempts to catch Tajiri
with a Huracanrana.
- Dragon Kid whips Hayabusa into the riingpost and charges after
him. Hayabusa tips up and attempts to leap over Dragon Kid, but
Dragon Kid intelligently rotates 180º and catches Hayabusa's
legs on his shoulder. He then walks forward a bit until he has
Hayabusa in position for a Double-Leg Slam, a move which he
attempts. However, Hayabusa instead holds onto Dragon Kid's back
and rotates vertically 180º so that he ends up Piledriving
Dragon Kid to end this awesome sequence!

Highlights:
- Juvi sits out of an attempted Powerbomb and scores with a
Sitout Face Plant.
- Taka tries a Tornado DDT, but as he sspins around, Juvi throws
him off and he lands on his feet. When Juvi charges towards him,
Taka takes him over via an armdrag, and then applies a grounded
armbar. Juvi repeatedly tries to climb back up to his feet, but
Taka continually cinches down on the armbar. Eventually, Juvi
succeeds in getting back to his feet, but by climbing to them.
Instead, he executes a kipup, landing on his feet, and since he
already has his arm interlocked under Taka's armpit, he takes his
foe over via his own armdrag, sending Taka into the center of the
ring. Juvi charges toward Taka's body, hops over it, and runs off
of the ropes. Taka quickly climbs back to his feet and sidesteps
Juvi (as "The Juice" runs off of the ropes), in the
process sticking his arm out and pushing Juvi by the back, adding
to the momentum of his run. When Juvi bounces off of the ropes a
second time, Taka executes a leapfrog and Juvi ducks under it
before stopping his run. He then pushes Taka into the ropes once
the former-WWF light heavyweight star lands back on his feet.
Taka bounces off and Juvi executes a corkscrew pickup as Taka
nears him. Taka, though, flips out of it and lands on his feet
and since he's already basically in position for one, executes an
armdrag. Juvi's sent over near the ring ropes, and Taka tries to
whip him into the ropes, but Juvi reverses it and sends Taka in.
Taka bounces off, ducks Juvi's lariat, and in the process, swings
himself up into a fireman's carry on Juvi's shoulders, and takes
him down via a crucifix pin for 2. Juvi climbs back up to his
feet, but receives several chops, backing him into the ropes.
Taka then tries an Irish whip, but Juvi holds on, executes an
armringer, and lifts Taka up into another fireman's carry.
- Taka drops out of Juvi's attempted Puumphandle X-Factor, lands
on his feet, and immediately transitions into two Rolling
Northern Lights Suplexes. Juvi fights out of a third attempt,
though, via elbow smashes to the back of Taka's neck, and then
attempts a Falcon Arrow, but Taka drops out of the hold and lands
on his feet behind Juvi. Taka immediately takes Juvi down into a
schoolboy rollup for 2. Juvi, though, beats Taka back to his feet
and downs Taka with a running lariat, and then applies a crucifix
kneebar, which he retains the hold on for a good minute or so
before releasing.
- Juvi sets up for a Dragon Suplex, butt Taka drops down to a
sitting position on the mat, and then rolls backwards, in the
process pointing his feet upward and manuevering them under
Juvi's armpits. Juvi wrenches down on the legs and wheelbarrow
lifts Taka upwards, and Taka drops out and lands in a standing
position on the mat. Juvi immediately tries a backdrop suplex,
but Taka flips out, landing on his feet. He then lifts Juvi up
and looks for the Michinoku Driver II, but Juvi drops off of
Taka's shoulder and lands on his feet behind him, and then pushes
his opponent chest-first into the nearby ringpost. Taka bounces
backwards and Juvi leaps up onto his shoulders in an attempt at
an Inverted Huracanrana, but Taka instead slingshots forward so
that he lands face-first onto the ringpost. Juvi then stumbles
backwards, right into a
- Taka attempts the Michinoku Driver III-B (Inverted Suplex Lift
into Michinoku Driver II), but Juvi drops out and lands on his
feet behind him. He applies a back waistlock and Taka charges
into the ring ropes. Taka holds onto the ropes, while Juvi
bounces and rolls backward until he's back on his feet. Taka
charges at Juvi, but surprises him by baseball sliding through
his feet and by the time Juvi realizes what Taka did and turns
around, Taka is ready and immediately delivers a stiff low
dropkick to Juvi's right leg, taking it out and making him fall
forward to the mat. Taka applies a Crucifix Kneebar, but Juvi
eventually grabs the ropes and forces him to break the hold.
- Mikey Whipwreck vs. X-Pac (a.k.a. The 1-2-3 Kid/Sean Waltman)

- Best Two-out-of-Three (2/3) Falls Match: Chris Benoit & Dean Malenko vs. Bret "The Hitman" Hart & Owen Hart
Benoit attempts a German suplex, but Owen escapes via an inverted drop toehold and applies a grounded front facelock. Benoit swings out of it and applies a grounded hammerlock, which he wrenches down on. Owen eventually swings out of it and ends up with a side headlock. Benoit rises to his feet and pushes Owen into the ropes. Owen performs a shoulderblock and they do the usual dropdown/leapfrog routine with Benoit doing the leapfrog. Benoit eventually dropkicks Owen's knee out from under him, sending him back down to the mat. Benoit executes some legbreaker leg drops before lifting Owen up and assaulting him in the corner with chops. Owen refuses to be whipped to the opposite corner and instead delivers some forearms in the corner that they're at. He then tries to whip Benoit, but Benoit too refuses to go anywhere and executes some more chops before again trying a whip. Owen again holds on and delivers some forearms before trying to whip Benoit into the opposite corner. Benoit holds on again and this time slides through Owen's feet and uses a double-leg trip from behind. With Owen down on his chest, Benoit tries to apply the Crippler Crossface, but Owen easily grabs the ropes since they're so near. Benoit stays on Owen and lifts him back up to execute some armringers and Owen reverses one into a hammerlock. Benoit tries to fight out with some back elbows, one of which Owen ducks, causing Benoit to swing around. Owen flapjacks him face-first into the ringpost and Benoit stumbles backwards, right into a schoolboy for 2. Owen lifts him back up and delivers some elbows to the back of the neck followed by an Irish whip, which Benoit reverses. Owen is sent into the ropes and slides through Benoit's legs. Benoit runs off of the ropes and Owen attempts a swinging powerslam, the momentum of which Benoit uses to counter into an armdrag. Benoit uses some elbows to the back of the neck and some chops before whipping Owen into the ropes and bending down for a back body drop. Owen stops short and kicks him in the face before running back off of the ropes...right into a running back elbow! Benoit tags in Malenko, who utilizes a snapmare and dropkick to the back before covering for 2. Malenko lifts Owen back up and applies a side headlock. Owen tries to push him into the ropes, but Malenko retains the hold. Owen eventually attempts to escape it via a backdrop suplex, but Malenko fights out with some knee lifts to the face and attempts his own backdrop suplex, which Owen escapes by using Malenko's own knee lifts. Owen then uses a side headlock takeover, leading to a grounded headlock. Malenko applies a headscissors, so Owen releases and attempts an elbow drop, which Malenko rolls out of the way of. Malenko drops his own elbow, but Owen dodges this. He then stands up, but hesitates, allowing Malenko to trip him and cover for 2. Malenko stands back up and Owen legsweeps him and covers for 2. Both men get back up to their feet and Owen ducks a forearm and tries a kick, but Malenko catches his leg. He tries an enziguri, but Malenko ducks this and Owen lands on the mat. Malenko does a backwards roll and immediately applies a single-leg Boston crab, which he holds for a good 15 seconds before releasing. and covering for 2. Malenko tags Benoit back in and Benoit continues where he left off, working over Owen with holds including a cross kneebreaker.
like Owen did and delivers some more chops before finally succeeding in Irish whipping Owen.weakening him with a jujigatame on the knee. Pin by Benoit for 2.

Kashmere and Chetti start. Kashmere uses an armringer and applies a hammerlock, which Chetti reverses into his own armringer and follows with an armdrag. Chetti holds onto Kashmere's arm and applies a grounded armlock. Kashmere eventually climbs back up to his feet and swings around so that he's able to armdrag Chetti. He drops an elbow, but Chetti moves away. He follows with his own elbow drop, which Kashmere also avoids
- Kashmere's Cradlebreaker attempt is intelligently countered
by Chetti into an inside cradle for 2. Kashmere climbs back to
his feet immediately, though, and attacks Chetti.
- Acid attempts the Blue Thunder Bomb, but Chetti ends up
utilizing his weight effectively and collapse backwards and lands
on his feet. Since he lands in the position, he immediately lifts
Acid onto his shoulders and attempts the Amytiville Horror
(Fireman's Carry into Michinoku Driver II), but Acid!
- Acid attempts a Tornado DDT onto Novaa, but lands on his feet on
the mat, after which Nova lifts him back up into the air and
places his legs on the shoulders of Chetti, who is also in the
ring. Chetti and Nova then raise Acid into the air and drop him
straight back down with a Sitout Inverted Powerbomb
(Chetti)/Cutter (Nova) combo!
- Chetti ducks a Yakuza Kick from Acid and delivers a gut kick
before running back off of the ropes and leaping into a body
scissors bounce-up position. However, when he does bounce up,
Acid - who has him scouted well - turns it into a Wheelbarrow
Suplex! He then tags in Kashmere
- Acid steps onto the apron and starts climbing up to the top
buckle, but Nova follows him up by climbing up it from inside the
ring. Nova eventually ends up on the middle buckle and Acid
standing on the top buckle. At this time, Kashmere enters the
ring and attacks Nova from behind. He then turns so that he's
facing the ring, grabs Nova by the legs, and Powerbombs him down
to the mat and at the same time as this, Acid hits a Flying
Crossbody block onto Nova as he is powerbombed by Kashmere. This
creative double-team manuever by the Backseat Boyz obtains a 2
count for them.
- Acid (standing on the ring mat) sets Nova up on the middle
buckle and attempts the Acid Bomb (Sitout Crucifix Inverted
Powerbomb), but Nova fights out of it by kicking Acid's back hard
and then grabs his arms and hits an awesome Somersault Unprettier
/ Tomakaze!
- Acid whips Chetti into the ringpost aand charges after him.
Chetti tips up and attempts to leap over Acid, but Acid
intelligently rotates 180º and catches Chetti's legs on his
shoulder. He then walks forward a bit until he has Chetti in
position for a Double-Leg Slam, a move which he attempts.
However, Chetti instead holds onto Acid's back and rotates
vertically 180º so that he ends up Piledriving Acid!
- Berk attempts the the Berk Driver (Fireman's Carry into
Stunner), but Guido counters in midair with a nice Inverted DDT!
- Berk lifts Guido up into the air withh a Vertical Suplex, but
Guido shifts his weight and collapses onto Berk with a crossbody
block for 2!
- Berk attempts the Berkulator (Belly-tto-Back Suplex lift into
Sitout Inverted Powerbomb), but Guido uses the momentum to
somersault all the way forward, eventually rolling through the
move to the point that he ends up going through Berk's legs and
causing him to fall chest first to the mat. Guido immediately
applies a single-leg Boston Crab.
- Lynn attempts a Fireman's Carry into a Stunner, but Flash
lands on his feet behind Lynn with an inverted facelock applied,
so he immediately executes a nice Sitout Front Inverted Suplex,
dropping Lynn onto his back for 2!
- Flash attempts the Move of the Month (Super Sitout Face Plant),
but Lynn counters it by grabbing Flash, leaping off of the middle
buckle while still retaining a hold on Lynn, landing on one knee,
and delivering an Inverted Atomic Drop! Flash is instantly set
bouncing up in the air and lands back-first on the mat. Lynn
lifts him back up and performs a Sideslam before climbing up to
the middle buckle and attempting a Minnesota Jam (a Leg Drop off
of that buckle). However, Flash rolls out of the way and Lynn
misses!
The finish comes when Lynn attempts a Super Sunset Flip Powerbomb, but after he does the somersault and lands on his feet on the mat, Flash - standing on the middle buckle with his back to the ring - surprises him by leaping backwards and taking Lynn down with him via a Sitout Face Plant. After hitting this modified version of the Move of the Month, Flash adjusts the position of Lynn's body and then hits the Last Call (Flying Leg Drop) for the 1-2-3 pinfall upset over Lynn!
- Ruckus attempts the Chronic (modified Double-Arm Powerbomb
lift into a Cutter), but after landing on his feet and avoiding
the Cutter part of the move, Tajiri surprises Ruckus by spitting
green mist into his face! Tajiri follows by applying a front
facelock and hitting a sweet-looking Run-the-Ropes Tornado DDT
- Ruckus tries a modified Parker move, which sees him lift Tajiri
up into a Canadian Back Rack (Side Powerbomb hold) and spin him
180º horizontally and sit out in the process so that he ends up
landing him in a Michinoku Driver II-like Sitout Slam, but when
he spins him around, Tajiri ends up countering the move in midair
by grabbing Ruckus' head and planting him with a Bulldog!
- Tajiri hits several stiff kicks to Ruuckus' side and when Ruckus
catches one of his legs under his armpits, Tajiri, immediately
leaps up into the air and delivers an awesome modified
Huracanrana! The modification comes because he has one of his
legs under Ruckus' armpits and isn't able to use it to hook
around Ruckus' leg. He only has his other leg to do that, but
still manages to perform the move successfully.
- Ruckus whips Tajiri into the oppositee corner and charges after
him. Tajiri tries to tip up and over him, but Ruckus smartly
stops and catches Tajiri's legs on his shoulders. He then hurls
him up into the air and over the ring ropes, but Tajiri lands on
the apron. He blocks a punch from Ruckus and delivers a stiff
kick to Ruckus' head before climbing up to the top buckle.
However, Ruckus recovers quickly and runs up the turnbuckle and
Super Armdrags Tajiri off of it and down to the ring mat below.
Once Tajiri starts to climb back up to his feet, Ruckus charges
at him and hits a Shining Enziguri. He follows with the Sweet
(Handspring Standing Backflip Splash) for 2.
- Tajiri attempts a Tornado Inverted DDDT, but Ruckus fights out

- Damian Adams vs. Nick Berk
WHY: Adams has wrestled on most of the 3PW shows and while he hasn't won a whole lot of his matches, he's proved that he's a resiliant young performer. Berk, meanwhile, is a considerable star on the indy circuit and works for CZW, JAPW, KAPOW, and other promotions. He lost to fellow CZW wrestler Rockin' Rebel on the most recent 3PW show, while Adams beat the debuting Ricky Vega on that same show. Neither of these two really have much of a reason to fight each other, besides the fact that I have nobody else left who consistently works 3PW shows, so since I'd like to add one more match to the card, I guess I'll book them against each other. I think it'd be smart to put Adams over Berk and give him a reward for being so loyal to 3PW for the last several months. Berk will still be over in CZW and the other promotions that he works, so I think it's alright for his career if he lost this one match and helped give Adams some credibility and momentum in the process.
The reason that I had Xavier return to 3PW and attack Berk was because - since he's no long in ROH - Xavier isn't in a major promotion anymore and I think he deserves to be. Plus, a match between him and Berk could be potentially excellent. Xavier's last appearance in 3PW was on March 29 when he lost to Homicide.
MATCH: Highlights:
- Berk tries the Berkulator (Belly-to-Back Lift into Sitout
Inverted Powerbomb), but Adams rolls through and applies an
Anklelock. Berk struggles for a few moments before grabbing the
ropes and forcing Adams to break the hold.
- Adams tries a Suplex, but Berk drops out and lands on his feet
behind him. Berk pushes Adams into the nearby turnbuckle and
Adams then bounces off and walks right into a rolling Suplex into
a Rolling Northern Lights Suplex into a High-Angle German Suplex.
Berk tries to apply the Texas Cloverleaf 2K3, but Adams
eventually grabs the ropes and forces him to break the hold.
- Adams hits a Super Sunset-Flip Powerbbomb for 2.
Berk hits the Berkocet '02 and covers, but Xavier makes his 3PW return and runs out, climbs up onto the apron, and distracts the referee from the pinfall. Berk gets back up, goes over to Xavier, and swings at him, but Xavier ducks and leaps back down to the ringside concrete. By the time Berk finishes yelling at Xavier and finally turns around, Adams is back up and ready. Berk receives a gut kick followed by a Fishermanbuster for the pinfall win for Adams. After the bout, Berk and Xavier have an argument at ringside, but when it looks like it's about to become a physical confrontation, some referees come out and separate the two.
This incident leads to a feud between Berk and Xavier and also serves to begin a push for Adams.
- Christian York vs. Monsta Mack
WHY: This match and the angles played out during it would further the Christian York vs. Joey Matthews feud (York turned on Matthews at the previous 3PW show) and the brewing rivalry between Mafia (a.k.a. Danny Maff) and Monsta Mack (Mafia walked off from Monsta Mack at the previous 3PW show following a tag team loss that the two suffered) and would set up an interesting tag team bout.
MATCH: Mack focuses on using his power and strength advantages during the bout, while York uses his quickness and aerial ability to combat Mack's hard-hitting style. Highlights:
- York dropkicks Mack out of the ring and hits a Diving Topè
through the ropes to take him out at ringside.
- York attempts to whip Mack into the ccorner, but Mack reverses
and sends York into the corner. York tries to tip up and over
Mack, but Mack stops short of the buckle, catches York's legs on
his shoulder, and delivers a stiff Double-Leg Slam.
- Mack attempts a Flying Double Axehanddle Smash, but York has him
scouted well and knocks him down to the mat in midair with a
Dropkick! After both men take a breater for several seconds, York
slowly makes the cover on Mack for 2.
- Mack ducks a Thrust Kick and hits a RRelease Northern Lights
Suplex on York. He follows that by knocking York into a sitting
position in the corner with a Running Knee Lift Attack. Mack then
backs up and hits a Running Corner Boot Scrape (a la Shinjiro
Ohtani) on York!
- Mack whips York into the ropes and atttempts a lariat, but York
intelligently grabs onto him, swings around, and tries to take
him down with a Crucifix pin. However, Mack counters with a stiff
Samoan Drop for 2.
- York attempts a Flying Crossbody Blocck, but Mack him in midair
and swings around into an awesome Powerslam, all in one motion!
This move gets 2 for Mack.
Mafia runs in during the bout with a steel chair and climbs up onto the apron. At the same time, York reverses an Irish whip and sends Mack running toward his partner, Mafia. In the common "Did he mean to hit him or did he think he was going to hit the other guy?" tag team routine, Mafia swacks Mack over the head with the chair, knocking him out. Mafia acts suspicious and the fans wonder whether or not he meant to hit Mack or if he was aiming for York. With Mack down, York hits the Rebel Yelp (Flying Knee Drop) for the pinfall win.
Afterwards, Mack and Mafia argue and Mafia starts to walk away, but instead suddenly turns back around and lariats Mack down to the mat! He starts beating on him as the fans boo and suddenly, after Mack repeatedly persists him to do so, York joins in and the two beat down on Mack until...
Joey Matthews runs in and makes the save. He dropkicks Mafia out of the ring and then immediately targets Matthews with a series of strikes. He eventually clears the ring of both foes and then helps Mack back up to his feet as the rival duo retreat back to the locker room.
This sets up Christian York & Mafia vs. Joey Matthews & Monsta Mack at the next show.
- Homicide vs. Josh Daniels
WHY: Homicide has lost his two most recent matches in 3PW, the first against Kid Kash and the second against Justin Credible. Meanwhile, Daniels has been on a considerably long winning streak in singles matches, so since Homicide seems to have been slightly fallen down the card and Daniels has gradually risen to about midcard level, I figure that this match seems logical. As for the winner - Homicide does need a win very soon if he wishes to remain as a major player in 3PW. Daniels isn't at his level yet, but although he's receiving a push now, Homicide needs to win this match if he wants to continue to be taken seriously.
MATCH: Highlights:
- Early into the bout, Homicide whips Daniels into the ropes
and tries a Spinebuster, but Daniels counters and takes him down
with a Fujiwara Armbar. After several moments, Homicide turns the
hold into a pin where he presses down on Daniels' shoulders.
Daniels rolls backwards at 2 and thereby escapes the pin and he
now has a Grounded Armbar DDT Hold applied. Homicide soon
transitions out of it and applies a Grounded Dragon Sleeper and
Daniels then turns it into his own Grounded Dragon Sleeper.
Homicide then rolls Daniels over and pins him with a leg
grapevine, but Daniels kicks out, grabs Homicide's arms, lifts
him back up to his feet slightly, and then tries a Backslide pin.
Homicide uses his strength, though, and does his own Backslide
pin for 2. Daniels immediately applies a Grounded Front Facelock,
only to have Homicide swing around into an Armbar. Daniels then
starts to climb back up to his feet and eventually whips Homicide
into the ropes. Homicide shoulderblocks him down and then runs
off of the adjacent ropes, hops over him, bounces off again, and
then runs under Daniels' leap frog. Homicide bounces off again,
but gets knocked down with a Leaping Heelkick from Daniels. He
tries to Irish whip Homicide, but it's reversed and Daniels runs
into the ropes. Homicide attempts a lariat, but Daniels
intelligently grabs onto him, swings around, and takes him down
with a Crucifix pin for 2. The two then back up into their
respective corners as a loud ovation of applause occurs.
- Homicide attempts a T-Bone Suplex, buut Daniels fights out of it
and hits an Armbar DDT. He then applies a Cross-Armbreaker until
Homicide grabs the nearby ropes. Daniels lifts Homicide back up
and tries to Irish whip, but its reversed and Daniels is sent
into the ropes. Homicide lifts him up into a fireman's carry, but
Daniels drops out, lands behind him, and pushes him into the
ropes. Daniels hits a gut kick and then runs off of the adjacent
ropes and hits a Swinging Neckbreaker and then goes right back to
his submission specialty and applies a Leg Lock. Homicide turns
him over and attempts to apply a Boston Crap, but Daniels instead
applies a Muta Lock! Daniels releases that hold after a few
seconds and applies a Back-Mounted Full Nelson, but Homic[[ide
fights out of it and applies a Crossface. Daniels escapes that
after a few seconds and transitions into a pin with a leg
grapevine. Homicide kicks out at 2 and tries his own pin, but
Daniels quickly escapes that and the two immediately back up into
their respective corners to another huge ovation of applause
before grappling again.
- Daniels counters Homicide's attemptedd Full Nelson Slam in
midair by turning it into an armdrag.
- Homicide applies a Full Nelson, but DDaniels escapes with a
Reverse Drop Toehold and then applies a Crippler Crossface (a la
Chris Benoit). Homicide eventually grae ropes to break the hold.
- Homicide attempts a Thunder Fire Poweerbomb, but Daniels slips
out and applies a Fujiwara Armbar.
- Homicide whips Daniels into the corneer and then - after
catching Daniels' legs on his shoulder when he tries to tip up -
delivers a stiff Double-Leg Slam.
- Homicide lifts Daniels up with a Verttical Suplex, but Daniels
falls downward onto him with a high-angle Crossbody Block for 2.
- Homicide whips Daniels into the ropess and attempts a
Spinebuster, but Daniels lands on feet and hits a Triple-H like
Kneebuster and then backs up and hits a Shining Wizard
(Homicide's own signature move) for 2!
- Homicide attempts a Flying Double Axeehandle Smash, but Daniels
is ready and hammers him in the gut as he comes down and then
German Suplexes him into the nearby ribs thngpost!
Homicide hits a Yakuza Kick followed by the Cop Killa (Vertaebreaker) for the pinfall win.
- The Blue Meanie & Roadkill vs. Stryker (a.k.a. Matt Striker) & Rob Eckos
WHY: Since beginning to tag team together a few months ago, Meanie & Roadkill have been pretty successful. They recently were feuding with Da Hit Squad, but I figure that - with the hint of D.H.S. splitting (at least in 3PW) - that angle should be pursued and in the mean time, Meanie & Roadkill can continue grappling with other tag teams in 3PW. The two recently beat Christian York & Joey Matthews, the same team that Eckos & Stryker just beat at the previous 3PW show. Since 3PW seems intent on continually putting over Meanie & Roadkill (probably because Meanie owns 3PW; LOL!), I figure I'll use this match to continue building them up and in the process, expose Eckos & Stryker to the fans again.
MATCH: Highlights:
- Roadkill lifts Eckos up onto his shoulders in a fireman's
carry, but Eckos drops out, lands behind him, and pushes him into
the nearby ringpost. Roadkill then bounces back and Eckos
immediately hits a Running Bulldog.
- Meanie powerbombs Eckos into the turnnbuckle and then Irish
whips Roadkill butt-first into Eckos' face!
- Roadkill attempts a Thunder Fire Poweerbomb, but Eckos drops
out, runs off of the ropes, ducks a lariat, and attempts a thrust
kick. Roadkill catches his leg under his armpit, but Eckos
smartly performs an Enziguri Kick, knocking Roadkill down to the
mat. He then lifts Roadkill up and attempts an Irish whip, but
Roadkill reverses and sends him into the ropes. Eckos ducks a
lariat and hits a spinning heelkick that knocks down Roadkill
again. Eckos then hits a Missle Dropkick for 2. He then tags in
Stryker, who surprises the fans by bodyslamming Roadkill and then
hitting a Running Snap Leg Drop for another 2 count.
- Roadkill whips Stryker into the turnbbuckle and then charges
toward him, but Stryker intelligently charges toward him also and
surprises him by sliding through his legs. Roadkill stops before
crashing into the buckle, but when he turns around he receives a
spinning heel kick that knocks him into a sitting position in the
corner. Stryker then backs up, charges, and hits a Baseball Slide
Dropkick to Roadkill's crotch!
- Meanie Press Slams Eckos and tosses hhim onto Stryker.
The finish comes when Meanie Sitdown Powerbombs Stryker and then tags in Roadkill, who hits the Amish Bomb (Flying Splash) for the pinfall win.
- Justin Credible vs. Kid Kash
WHY: At the last 3PW show, Credible - making his 3PW debut - beat Homicide and at the show before that, Kash beat Homicide. So, because these two are both former-ECW stars and they each have beaten the same guy in the last few months, I figure that this would be a fairly logical match to book.
MATCH: Highlights:
- Credible whips Kash into the corner and charges after him,
but Kash tips up and over him. Credible turns around charges at
Kash with a lariat, but Kash ducks and then charges Credible, who
lifts him up with a tilt-a-whirl pickup and adjusts him into
position for That's Incredible. Kash, though, rolls forward via a
Victory Roll and takes Credible with him for 2.
- Kash sends Credible out of the ring wwith a Tilt-a-Whirl
Headscissors Takeover and then takes him out at ringside with a
Flying Corkscrew Somersault Plancha Suicida!
- After being whipped into the ropes, KKash swings around until he
is laying on Credible's back and attempts a Crucifix pin, but
Credible refuses to be taken down and instead hits a Fireman's
Carry Stunner for 2!
- Kash tries to whip Credible from one corner to another, but
Credible holds onto his arm and instead Russian Leg Sweeps him
into the turbuckle and then hits his signature Corner Sitout
Powerbomb for 2.
- Credible leaps off of the top buckle towards Kash, but Kash
delivers a dropkick, knocking Credible (who's in midair) down to
the mat.
- Kash hits a Catapult Headscissors Takkeover for 2. Credible ends
up in the corner and Kash backs up into the opposite corner
before charging toward Credible. At the last possible moment,
though, Kash zigzags slightly to the left, leaps onto the middle
ring rope, bounces off of it, and - while he is in midair -
catches Credible with a Huracanrana out of the corner - a
Slingshot Huracanrana!
- Credible attempts his Driving Elbow DDrop off of the middle
buckle, but Kash rolls out of the way. Once both are standing,
Kash hits a nice-looking Slingshot Swinging DDT (leaps off of the
middle ring rope, springs backward, swings around in midair,
lands with an inverted facelock on the opponent, and before
landing on the mat, swings around 180º, and then DDT's his
opponent)!
The finishing sequence features Credible whipping Kash into the corner and charging after him. Kash tips up and in the process, does a 180º spin in an attempt to fly over Credible and take him down with a sunset flip when he reaches the corner. It looks like he'll hit it, but Credible smartly refuses to let him take him down and instead catches him on his back, adjusts his position until Kash's legs are under his armpits, and hits a Draping Back-to-Belly Tombstone Piledriver! Kash somehow kicks out at 2, though! This same spot was used during the Chris Hamrick-Jerry Lynn match at February's XPW My Bloody Valentine (which also occurred in Philadelphia, PA).
Clearly pissed off, Credible climbs up to the top buckle and signals that he's going to splash Kash, but Kash crotches him, climbs up himself, and sets up for a Dragonsteiner. Credible low blows, Kash, though, and causes him to fall into position for a That's Incredible off of the middle buckle. Kash intelligently tries to fight out of it and eventually succeeds, causing himself to do a forwards flip and land on his feet on the mat. After punching Credible several times, Kash - standing in the ring - springboards onto the top buckle right next to Credible and then Huracanranas him down to the mat - a Slingshot Super Huracanrana! Kash follows with a Flying Frog Splash for the pinfall upset!
- Gary Wolfe (Pitbull #1)/Rockin' Rebel confrontation
WHY: Wolfe lost the 3PW World Heavyweight Title to Terry Funk at the last show, while Rebel has won the majority of his last few matches in 3PW. These two could make for an solid feud with old school-style brawling, so that's why I'm booking this confrontation. Plus, they're about the same size as one another.
CONFRONTATION: Rebel comes out and challenges anyone in the locker room who thinks they can beat him. Wolfe answers the challenge and the two start brawling in the ring, before the fight spills out to ringside and eventually into the crowd, where a steel chair, a power cord, and more weapons come into use. Security, though, is eventually forced to break up the brawl because it becomes so chaotic.
This confrontation leads to a match between them at the next show and that eventually leads to an old school-style Streetfight between them later down the line.
- #1 Contendership Match for the 3PW World Heavyweight Title: Balls Mahoney vs. Sabu - Winner wrestles Terry Funk at next 3PW show for 3PW World Heavyweight Title (Special Guest Refere: 3PW World Heavyweight Champion Terry Funk)
WHY: Although he didn't wrestle on the last show, Balls Mahoney has worked most of the other 3PW shows and has been quite successful on them, for the most part, having beaten Da Hit Squad, Nosawa, and Ian Rotten. Meanwhile, Sabu was scheduled to wrestle Funk (in a three-way dance, along with Gary Wolfe) at the most recent 3PW show (on June 21), but no-showed the event and was replaced by The Sandman. Funk eventually won the match and therefore the title, also. Up until now, the 3PW World Title has been defended on every 3PW show (to my knowledge, at least), but I think it deserves a break for once and - by having Funk have an influence on the outcome of this match - it would allow 3PW to build some heat for Funk's first title defense.
MATCH: This insane main event features many different brawling, hardcore, and aerial spots throughout the arena. Highlights:
- Balls hits several "BALLS!" sparring punches and
then goes for his signature big swing punch, but Sabu has him
scouted well and dropkicks his legs out from under him and then
applies a Leglock, which he eventually breaks when Balls makes it
to the ropes.
- Balls whips Sabu into the opposite riingpost and charges after
him. Sabu tries to tip up and over Balls, but Balls catches
Sabu's legs on his shoulders and hits a hard Double-Leg Slam.
- Balls rolls out of the way of Sabu's Triple-Jump Moonsault and
then, when Sabu gets back up, uses the chair that Sabu to
chairshot him down to the mat for 2.
- Balls reverses an attempted corner whhip and sends Sabu towards
the opposite corner. Balls charges after his foe, but Sabu
smartly knocks him down with a Slingshot Back Elbow and follows
with an Arabian Press for 2.
- Sabu tries his Slingshot Swinging DDTT, but Balls catches him
and turns it into the Ballbreaker (Swinging Spinebuster Bomb) and
then hits the New Jersey Jam for 2!
The tension in this match between Funk and Sabu begins when Balls whips Sabu into the opposite ringpost super hard and Sabu ends up doing a Flair Flip bump upon impact to sell the crash more effectively. After the bump, Funk goes to check on Sabu to make sure he's alright, but - not realizing that it's Funk near him and not Balls - Sabu suddenly throws a fireball into Funk's face(!), which causes a now partially blinded Funk to run around the ring franticly. With Funk now down on the mat and not paying attention to the match, Balls and Funk brawl in the ring for awhile, with the result being Sabu hitting a Springboard Leg Drop and going for the pin. However, there is nobody to count because Funk is still recovering from the fireball incident. Sabu goes and helps him crawl over to where Balls is and then covers Balls again. Funk - after giving Sabu a dirty glare (presumably because he threw the fireball at him) slowly (due to still being somwhat hurt by the fire) counts to 2 before Balls kicks out. Sabu gets back up and begins brawling with Balls again for about a minute, before Balls powerslams him and then climbs up top and signals for a Frog Splash. Sabu, though, crotches him and then hits his Super Leaping Huracanrana. Funk starts a 10 count since both men don't get right back up. They finally get back up at about 9 and brawl a bit more. Sabu runs into the ropes and tries a Slingshot Sidekick, but Balls catches him in midair and tosses him over his back in an Inverted Fallaway Slam. However, Balls is unaware that Funk is behind him and Sabu lands on Funk, knocking him down. In the process of throwing Sabu, Balls falls backwards, down to the mat. Now, all three men are down in the ring. After a bit more than 10 seconds, Balls and Sabu start getting back up to their feet and Balls takes control. Once he loses the advantage, Funk stands back up and - seeing that Sabu is in control - gives his former rival another dirty glare. The two move face-to-face and start trash-talking each other. However, Sabu shoves Funk to the side of the ring and dives after him himself, escaping the spot that they were just standing at a split second before Balls' arm reaches there via an attempted lariat. It appears that Sabu has just saved Funk from getting beaten up again. Sabu gets back up and starts brawling with Balls again. Balls whips Sabu into the ropes and Sabu ducks a lariat before dropkicking Balls' legs. Sabu hits a Huracanrana followed by a Cutter after a brief exchange. He follows with an Arabian Facebuster off of the top buckle and goes for the pin on Balls. Fun slowly crawls over to him and begins counting. He reaches 2 before his face drops flat onto the mat and he acts like he is too tired to continue counting. Sabu goes over to him to help him, but when he touches him, Funk suddenly comes back to life and tosses a pile of some type of powder that he has in his pocket into Sabu's eyes, temporarily blinding him. Funk then quickly lifts Sabu back up and Piledrives him onto a chair before starting a 10 count. Balls gets back up at 8 and acts confused and glances at Funk with a wierd face because Sabu is suddenly laying on the mat. He smartly takes advantage of this circumstance, though, as he lifts Sabu up and hits the Nutcracker Suite and then a Flying Frog Splash for the pinfall pin.
Funk happily raises Balls' arm in victory as Ball seems relucant to accept Funk's celabratory manner. Funk then lifts Sabu back up and starts beating on him and trash-talking him in the process. However, Balls suddenly gains the favor of the 3PW fans by pulling Funk off of Sabu. A pissed off Funk pushes Balls back several feet and heads back towards Sabu, but Balls turns him around and delivers several "BALLS!" sparring punches and then sends him rolling out of the ring with a Thrust Kick. Balls helps Sabu up and the two shake hands and embrace as an incensed Funk (who grabbed his 3PW title belt after being knocked out of the ring) stomps back to the locker room, glaring at the two apparent friends in the ring all the while.
Balls vs. Funk for the 3PW World Title is scheduled for the next show and this incident serves to built up some heat between the two before their showdown.
Matches of the Night (in order from best to worst): Homicide/Josh Daniels, Credible/Kash, Adams/Berk, Balls/Sabu, Mack/York, Meanie/Roadkill vs. Eckos/Stryker (I didn't rank the Wolfe/Rebel brawl because it wasn't a sanctioned match)
Best of the Indies:
- The Dirty Rotten Scoundrelz vs. Dunn & Marcos
- "The Rock Superstar" Kaos vs. Trent Acid
- Kaos whips Acid from one corner to the opposite one and
follows close behind him. Acid attempts to tip up and over Kaos,
but "The Rock Superstar" spins 180º and catches Acid's
feet on his shoulder, as if for a Double-Leg Slam. Acid, though,
let's go of his grip on the ringpost and ends up clutching Kaos'
waist from behind, all the while with his feet draped over Kaos'
shoulders and being gripped by his hands. Kaos now attempts the
Double-Leg Slam, but Acid retains the waistlock and the momentum
of Kaos' attempted slam causes him to do a 180º forward flip and
end up being PILEDRIVEN right on his head by Acid, making for a
very creative spot.
- Acid attempts the Blue Thunder Bomb, but when he tries to
execute the Sitout Powerbomb part of the move, Kaos ends up doing
a full backflip and landing on his feet, instead of on the back
of his head/neck. Kaos - without hesitation - lifts Acid up and
executes an Air Raid Crash.
- Acid's Irish whip is countered and Kaaos sends him into the
ropes. Acid tries his signature Slingshot Swinging DDT, but Kaos
refuses to be taken down via the DDT part of the move, so Acid
ends up landing on his feet. Without hesitation, Kaos lifts Acid
up onto his shoulders, moves into the center of the ring, and
tries the Kaos Driver (Fireman's Carry Michinoku Driver II).
While being flipped over Kaos' head in order to complete the
Michinoku Driver part of the move, Acid grabs a hold of Kaos'
head (he already kinda has a hold on it, though, since a
fireman's carry usually entails the victim having his arm wrapped
around the other guy's head) and instead of landing on his back,
lands in a sitting position on the mat, in the process drivinig
Kaos' face into his shoulder via a Stunner!
- Acid charges at Kaos and tries a Rollling (Roaring), but it's
ducked and when he charges back towards Kaos, he receives the
Kaos Cutter (Back Body Drop Lift into Catching Ace Crusher)!
- Kaos lifts Acid up into position for a Crucifix Powerbomb and
looks that to flip Acid back over his head and into a Piledriver
(a move he calls the Falling Star), but Acid wiggles out and
drops out to a standing position behind his foe before running
off of the ropes. He delivers a Yakuza Kick to the back of Kaos,
after which he runs off of the opposite ropes and charges toward
Kaos (from the front, as opposed to behind, like before),
attempting another Yakuza Kick. "The Rock Superstar"
ducks it, though, and then presses his foe up into the air in an
attempt to hit the Kaos Cutter, only for Acid - instead of
landing into the former-Hi-V member's Cutter - to land with an
inverted DDT onto him!
- Kaos whips Acid into the ropes and duucks a Yakuza Kick before
charging at Acid and leaping into a bodyscissors, only to have
Acid counter his attempted bounceup bulldog by powering him over
into his signature Wheelbarrow Suplex!
- Kaos Superkicks Acid down and then heeads up to the top buckle.
Acid climbs back up to his feet and crotches him on the post,
though, and then climbs up onto the middle buckle himself. Kaos
then starts fighting back with some punches to the gut and head,
but Acid is relentless and fights back with some forearms, and
the two continue trading strikes as they climb up into standing
positions on the top buckle. After some more back-and-forth
fighting for the advantage, Kaos applies a front facelock and
signals for the Kaostrify (Super Forward-Flying Sitout Front
Vertical Suplex), but Acid fights out of it and after a bit more
fighting, pushes Kaos to the side, causing him to land in a
crotched position on the top ring rope, facing the nearby
ringpost. Acid now climbs up into a standing position on the top
buckle and turns to face Kaos. The Backseat Boy member then
springs off of the top ring rope with one leg and uses the other
to drive into Kaos' face...f*ckin' ropewalk-style SHINING WIZARD!
Kaos drops down onto the ring apron and bounces from there down
to ringside, while Acid, having had to balance on the top ring
rope on just one leg takes a sick face-first fall back into the
ring, right next to the ropes, but nevertheless - the damage has
definitely been done, and the fans let out some well-deserved
cheers.
- Six-Pack "Elimination Light Heavyweight International Challenge" Match - The Amazing Red (America) vs. Dragon Kid (Japan) vs. Jody Fleisch (England) vs. Rey Misterio Jr. (Mexico) vs. Sonjay Dutt (India) vs. Teddy Hart (Canada)
Highlights:
- Tieup. Red with a side headlock. Reversal by Fleisch. Red
reverses back into his own. Fleisch lifts Red up and looks for a
Sideslam, but Red counters with a Headscissors Takeover. Red then
applies a side headlock again. Fleisch lifts him up into a
Torture Rack and tries to flip him over with an inverted death
valley driver, but Fleisch lands on his feet and - since he
already has his right arm hooked under Red's right armpit -
delivers an armdrag. It definitely looks like Fleisch is a step
ahead of Red at this point. Fleisch applies another side
headlock. Red whips him into the ropes and is knocked down via a
shoulderblock. They do the "I run off of the ropes, you stay
down, I leap over you, I bounce off and run under your
leapfrog" routine, with Red doing the leap frog. Fleisch
runs under the leap frog, bounces off again, and leaps into a
bodyscissors. He bounces back up and delivers an armdrag to Red.
Red gets back up, charges at Fleisch, and slides under his legs
before getting back to his feet. Red gives Fleisch an armdrag and
then runs off of the ropes twice. Fleisch tries a tilt-a-whirl
lift and Red counters it with an armdrag. Fleisch ends up landing
near the ring ropes and when he gets back up, he dodges a Running
Dropkick from Red, who therefore lands hard on his side. Fleisch
lifts him back up and tries an Irish whip, which Red tries to
reverse. Fleisch, though, holds onto him and slides under and
through his legs before pulling them out from under him, causing
Red to fall forward face-first into the mat. Fleisch applies a
Grounded Dragon Sleeper hold. After about 15 seconds, Red starts
to get back up to his feet and escapes the hold by doing a
partial backflip and thereby landing his feet on Fleisch's
shoulders. From that position, he immediately delivers a
Headscissors Takeover, sending Fleisch across the ring. Fleisch
charges and receives a Japanese armdrag. Red holds onto Fleisch's
hand as they get back to their feet.
- Fleisch - standing behind Red - bendss down and leans through
Red's legs and grabs both of his arms. He pulls them back through
his legs and attempts a move that looks like Ruckus' Chronic, but
Red ends up wrapping his legs around Fleisch's head and thereby
taking Fleisch with him, eventually delivering a Headscissors
Takeover.
- An awesome reversal sees Fleisch atteempts a Powerbomb, but Red
use his right hand to grab Fleisch's right hand, and then does a
pseudo-backflip, allowing him to drop out of the Powerbomb hold.
Red lands on his feet after doing this and immediately armdrags
Fleisch, all in one motion.
- Fleisch Irish whips Red into the cornner and then charges after
him. Red steps a foot forward and catapults Fleisch over him into
a leap frog. Fleisch, though, lands on his feet on the top buckle
and then blindly leaps backwards and attempts the finishing move
of his arch-rival, Jonny Storm - the Rewind Huracanrana. Red,
though, refuses to be taken over and instead lifts Fleisch back
up from the mat and into a powerbomb position. Fleisch, though,
grabs a hold of the top ring rope before Red can do anything and
refuses to let go of it. He then stands up on the middle buckle
and kicks Red's back, sending him stumbling forward. Fleisch then
performs an astounding Flying Moonsault DDT!
- Fleisch armdrags Red, who lands near the ring ropes (although
he's still standing), so Red charges at the ropes and does what
looks to be his 718 (the same as Rey Mysterio's 619) move, but
instead of doing a kick, he wraps his feet around Fleisch and
swings around 180º so that he Headscissors Takeovers Fleisch
into the corner.
- Red whips Fleisch into the ropes and Fleisch tries to tip up
and over his foe. Red, though, catches Fleisch's feet on his
shoulders, only to have Fleisch suddenly let go of the ropes,
hook his right arm under Red's left armpit, and do a pseudo
front-roll, tossing Red through the ring ropes and out to
ringside with an armdrag. Fleisch follows with an Asai Moonsault.
- Red Irish whips Fleisch into the cornner and then charges after
him. Fleisch, though, gets a boot up into his face. Red charges
at him again, but gets the same result. He tries a third time,
but this time Fleisch steps a foot forward and catapults Red over
him into a leap frog. Red, though, lands on his feet on the top
buckle and - when Fleisch has turned around to face him - hits an
awesome Flying Corkscrew Somersault Neckbreaker!

- Red Irish whips Fleisch into the cornner and then charges after
him. Fleisch, though, gets a boot up into his face. Red charges
at him again, but gets the same result. He tries a third time,
but this time Fleisch steps a foot forward and catapults Red over
him into a leap frog. Red, though, lands on his feet on the top
buckle and
- Fleisch, standing near the corner turrnbuckle, attempts a
version of the Phoenix DDT off of the top turnbuckle (instead of
the top ring rope; so instead of standing on the middle of the
ring apron, he stands on one side of it, near the ringpost), but
Red hurries towards the ropes as soon as Fleisch leaves his feet
and runs into them, thereby awkwardly crotching Fleisch on them
in a position where one of his legs is in the ring and the other
one is out of it. Red then backs up into the center of the ring
and charges at Fleisch, who he nails in the face with his
signature Inverted Spinkick. Red then adjusts Fleisch's position
so that he is sitting on the top buckle with his legs on the
middle buckle. Red climbs onto the apron right next to Fleisch
and takes him off of the buckles and down to the mat below with a
Springboard Super Headscissors Takeover.
- Dream Tag Team Match: The Amazing Red & Brian XL vs. Jack Evans & Teddy Hart vs. Jody Fleisch & Jonny Storm
- Red climbs onto the middle buckle and attempts a DragonRana
(Flying Somersault Huracanrana) onto Storm, but the U.K.
sensation refuses to be taken over into the 'rana pin. Instead,
he lifts Red back up into the air and into position for a
powerbomb, only to catapult him over his head and toward Hart,
who's standing behind Storm and facing his back. Red lands with a
front facelock on Storm and with his legs outstretched onto the
shoulders of Storm, who has his back to him, but managed to catch
the legs on his shoulders when he tossed Red up into the air.
From this position, Storm rotates to the left and uses the
momentum to throw Red off of his shoulders. That sends Red into a
180º spin to the left, all the while with the front facelock on
Hart, so it looks like he's executing a swinging DDT. Instead of
executing the DDT, though, Red again lands his legs on someone's
shoulders, this time those of Fleisch, who was standing behind
Hart. However, instead of having his back to Red while the S.A.T.
member has his legs outstretched onto his (Fleisch's) shoulder,
like with Storm and Red a moment before, Fleisch is facing XL
while his (Red's) legs are on his (Fleisch's) shoulders. Hart now
proceeds to throw Red - who still has the front facelock applied
on him - off and to the left, causing Red to rotate another 90º
to the left and in the process execute a Headscissors Takeover on
Fleisch, sending him across the ring and thereby completing this
AMAZING sequence.
- Hart executes two Rolling Side Russiaan Leg Sweeps, but when he
tries a third, Fleisch fights out with elbows to the back of the
neck, and then tries a tilt-a-whirl lift. Hart, though, wraps his
legs around him and performs a headscissors takeover, sending
Fleisch into the center of the ring. After executing some
uppercuts on Fleisch, he whips the UK star into the ropes. He
tries a tilt-a-whirl lift, but Fleisch flips out and lands on his
feet in front of him (Hart), and then delivers an armdrag of his
own. Fleisch now delivers some high kicks to Hart's head and then
tries an Irish whip, but Hart tries to reverse it. Fleisch,
though, holds onto his arm and instead executes an armringer, and
then locks on a side headlock. Hart eventually pushes him into
the ropes and running shoulderblocks him down. After flipping off
the crowd, Hart hops over Fleisch and runs off of the ropes. He
then hops over Fleisch again and runs off before baseball sliding
under Fleisch's leapfrog. Fleisch then runs off, only to receive
a Snap Huracanrana from Hart!
- XL reverses an Irish whip and sends SStorm into the ropes. Storm
does a Quebrada that sees him flip over XL (who has followed
after him) and land on his feet. XL charges at him and Storm
tries a Back Body Drop, but XL - instead of flipping over his
foe's head - drops right back down towards the mat and dropkicks
Storm down while in midair. He lifts XL back up to his feet and
whips him into the ropes. XL bounces off and when he approaches
Storm (who has now bent down, as if for a back body drop),
rotates 180º (so that he has his back to Storm) and does a
catapult-like backflip roll over Storm's back and eventually
lands back on his feet before immediately running off of the
opposite ropes. Storm tries a back elbow, but XL forward rolls
under it. XL then leaps onto the middle ring rope, bounces
backwards, and rotates his body slightly more than 180º so that
when he gets close enough to Storm, he hooks his arm under
Storm's armpit and - upon landing on the ring mat - takes him
over with a nice Slingshot Corkscrew Armdrag, all in one motion!
- Storm attempts a Gutwrench Suplex, buut Hart ends up countering
it with a Huracanrana midway through the move!
- Red tries a Fireman's Carry into a Frront Slam, but Hart
counters with an armdrag. Red then tries an Irish whip, but it's
reversed and Red is sent into the ropes. Hart attempts a hiptoss,
but Red lands on his feet and immediately delivers an armdrag.
Red then charges at Hart and leaps into a bodyscissors before
bouncing back up and delivering an armdrag to Hart while still in
midair.
- XL and Evans attempt a double-handed Greco-Roman lockup. Evans
gets in the first hit after the lockup by using a gut kick. He
then Front (Forward) Inverted Russian Leg Sweeps XL down to the
mat while still holding onto his hands. He presses his body down
onto XL's legs, but XL uses his legs to catapult Evans back up to
his feet. Evans pulls XL along with him, but XL surprises him by
monkey flipping him while in midair. He holds onto Evans' hands
and does a back rollover Evans and stands back up. In the
process, he pulls Evans along with him and Evans tries a monkey
flip, but XL uses his weight effectively and stops Evans from
catapulting him. Instead, Evans ends up only pressing XL up in
the air with his feet. XL soon pulls backwards so that he lands
back on his feet. He pulls Evans along with him in the process,
but Evans surprises him by doing a 180º spin (he has to release
his hold on XL's hands to do this) and ends up in a bodyscissors
position. He bounces back up and grabs a hold of XL's hand in
midair so that he's able to armdrag XL across the ring. Evans
charges at XL, who tries a corkscrew pickup. Evans, though, lands
on his feet after being flipped over via the move and immediately
delivers an armdrag, all in one motion.
- Fleisch attempts to perform a backdroop suplex on Hart, but as
he lifts Hart up, Hart wraps his legs around Fleisch's head and
counters into a Headscissors Takeover. He then whips Fleisch into
the ropes and executes his signature Tilt-a-Whirl Gutbuster,
followed by a Fireman's Carry into an X-Factor.
- Hart applies an Abdominal Stretch on XL, but XL eventually
escapes by countering it into a Hiptoss. XL then clamps down on
an armbar on Hart, but Hart eventually kips up to his feet and
sends XL tumbling across the ring via an armdrag. XL gets up to
his feet and charges at Hart, but receives a drop toehold and
goes face-first into the mat for his troubles. Hart then applies
a grounded chinlock, but XL is eventually able to fight to his
feet and apply a 3/4 bulldog facelock (stunner hold). Hart lifts
him up into the air until his feet are pointing practically
directly upward at the ceiling, but then XL suddenly turns that
into a rapid-fire snapmare, tossing Hart all the way across the
ring. XL gets up to his feet, runs off of the nearby ropes, and
charges toward Hart. The Canadian sensation executes a leapfrog
and XL ducks under it, after which Hart runs off of the ropes
that XL just came off of. He then bounces off and charges toward
XL, leaping into a bodyscissors. He executes a wheelbarrow
bounceup and tries to turn the move into a bulldog, but XL
instead counters by rotating him about 180º and executes a Blue
Thunder Bomb.
- XL refuses to be taken down via Fleissch's attempted Toriko (Rey
Mysterio Jr.'s signature move; a Running Somersault Roll over the
victim's body and into Sunset Flip) and instead adjusts his grip
on Rey before dropping down to his knees, thereby driving the
back of Rey's head into the mat via the Wheelbarrow Driver (Dropdown [into Kneeling positon]
Low Back-Mounted Michinoku Driver II w/ foe's arms hooked/tied)!
- Storm charges at him with a Yakuza Kiick, but Evans ducks, feeds
Storm his left leg, and then delivers an enziguri kick with his
right leg! Fleisch sells the kick by executing a forward flip.
- Storm whips Red into the ropes. Red lleaps towards Storm, who
catches him with a bodyscissors. Storm flings Red up out of the
bodyscissors and in midair, Red ends up in position for a DDT,
but instead lands on one knee and slams Storm's face down into
his other knee (like Triple H's kneebuster). Red then bends down,
utilizies a Reverse Spinning Legsweep, and immediately executes a
Red Star Press for 2!
- Evans and Hart execute a modified verrsion of the finishing move
of So-Cal's Aerial Express tag team (Quicksilver & Scorpio
Sky). Hart executes a Jumping Straight Jacket (holds foe's arms
to their sides) Piledriver on Red at the same time that Evans
connects with a Running Japanese Dropkick to Red's face.
- Hart looks for a Brainbuster Suplex oon Fleisch, but Fleisch
ends up floating over and landing with his legs draped over XL's
shoulders, as if about to receive a powerbomb. Meanwhile, Hart
has a neckbreaker-like hold applied on Fleisch, but he releases
that and steps a few feet to the side, letting Fleisch take XL
over with a Huracanrana!
- Evans whips Fleisch into the ropes, ccatches him when he tries a
crossbody block, and then tries to swing him around into a
Sitdown Uranage. Fleisch, though, counters the move with an
awesome-looking armdrag! He then tries to whip Evans into the
corner, but Evans reverses and sends Fleisch in. Evans charges
after him, but Fleisch catapults him up over his head and Evans
lands on the top turnbuckle. Evans then flies off of the top
buckle and executes his signature Skytwister Press-style
(mutliple Corkscrew rotation) Kick to the face on Fleisch! A few
moments later, Evans whips Fleisch
into the ropes and tries a hiptoss, but Fleisch refuses to be
sent into a front flip and instead just leaps into the air and
lands on his feet a few feet away from where he started. He tries
to hiptoss Evans, but Evans does the same thing and lands a few
feet away from where he just was. Now near the ring ropes, Evans
tries to hiptoss Fleisch over the ropes and out to ringside, but
he's about a foot too far from the ring ropes, so Fleisch's legs
end up landing on the ropes when he's hiptossed, and he then
bounces backwards (like a backflip), going back the way he came
and landing on his feet. With his arm still in the hiptoss
position, interlocked with that of Evans, Fleisch bends down and
stretches his head under Evans armpit. He pivots 270º so that he
ends up with his arm now wrapped around that of Evans'.
[To understand the position they're now in, picture two guys standing and facing the same way, only with one guy (#1) about six inches farther back than the other guy (#2). Guy #1 stretches the arm of his that's closest to guy #2 forwards and guy #2 stretches the arm of his that's closest to guy #1 outwards, as if showing half of his handspan. With his arm now outstretched, guy #2 now bends the lower part of his arm downwards, so that he's formed a right angle with that arm. Guy #1 stretches his arm that's closest to guy #2 outwards and under guy #2's outstretched arm that has now formed a right angle. The two then tighten their grip on each other's arms.]
Fleisch now pivots 90º more, so that he's standing with his arm interlocked with Evans' as the description describes, only instead of standing side-by-side with his foe (as is described above), Fleisch is now standing and facing one way, while Evans is standing near him to form a 90º angle with their bodies, and Evans is facing 90º to the right (if a line was to extend from each guy's eyes and into the direction that they were looking, the two eyesight lines would meet a foot or so away from each guy's eyes and would form a right angle). Fleisch now grabs Evans' head and places it in between his legs and proceeds to lift him up for a powerbomb. The U.K. star Powerbombs Evans back onto the nearby top ring rope, and looks to turn that into a Sitdown Powerbomb, but the momentum of the bounce allows Evans to counter into a Huracanrana, sending Fleisch into he center of the ring!
- Red attempts the Code Red, but Storm refuses to be taken over,
and instead shifts his weight suddenly, causing Red's body to be
catapulted back up so that it's positioned across Storm's back.
Storm then adjusts his grip on Red so that he's holding him up by
the arms and sets up for a Gory Special, but Hart comes over to
Red, who proceeds to wrap his legs around Hart's head, fight out
of the Gory Special, and Huracanrana Hart, ending a very creative
sequence!
- Red tries the Code Red, but Hart refuuses to be taken over into
the sunset flip and instead readjusts his grip on Red before
dropping down to his knees and hitting his signature Back-Mounted Bodyscissors Double-Leg
Cradle Tombstone Piledriver (EZ Money's "Money in the
Bank").
- Red attempts his signature Diving Torrnado Flatliner from the
middle buckle, but Hart after Red does a 90º rotation, Hart
refuses to be taken down into the Flatliner part of the move and
instead - since he already has Red in the setup for a Uranage -
executes a Shellshock/Wave of the Future (Snap Corkscrew Pivot
Flatliner)!
- With Red standing on the middle bucklle, facing into the ring,
Storm grabs both of his arms and sets up for an Acid
Bomb/Iconoclasm, but Red fights out of the hold with some stiff
kicks to his foe's back, and then grabs his (Storm's)
right hand with his own left hand, leaps off of the buckle, and
takes Storm over via an Armdrag!
- With Evans standing in the ring facinng him, Fleisch - on the
apron - uses the top ring rope to catapult himself into a forward
flip, in which he lands his feet on Evans' shoulders. Fleisch
then lets go of the ring ropes, rotates his body about 90º
(causing Evans to rotate the same way) and executes a
Huracanrana, which Evans sells by doing a backflip onto his head!
- Hart and Storm are slugging it out inn the ring, when - out of
the corner of his eye, Hart sees Red charging toward him with a
lariat. Hart ducks and at the same time sticks up his arm to
intercept the arm that Red's using to perform the lariat. The
momentum that Red attacks with causes Red to end up with his back
to Hart and Hart to have a full nelson applied. Hart lets go of
one of Red's arms so he now has a half nelson locked on, and then
inverted hiptosses Red, causing the S.A.T. member to do a
backflip! Red's legs land on Storm's shoulders, so he executes a
Headscissors Takeover on the U.K. star. Hart then lifts Red back
up and Red becomes the only person in wrestling history besides
Jack Evans to take Hart's Release Backdrop Suplex into a midair
Jumping Sitdown Powerbomb! It's one of the most amazing moves
that can possibly be done, and pretty much defies gravity.
Picture someone flipping out of a backdrop suplex attempt, but
before they can land on their feet, the person performing the
move does a 180º spin and catches them while they're still in
midair via a Jumping Sitdown Powerbomb! I-N-C-R-E-D-I-B-L-E.
- Hart Press Slams Red above his head, but Red shifts his weight
effectively and counters by taking Hart down into a sunset flip
for 2.
- Red, standing on the top buckle, triees his signature Super
Sunset Flip Powerbomb on Fleisch, who's standing on the middle
buckle while bending down, with his head in between Red's legs.
Instead of being taken down into the powerbomb, though, Fleisch
executes a Huracanrana, sending Red rolling into the center of
the ring (NOTE: This move is done all in one motion, so just
about as soon as Red lands on the ring mat, Fleisch leaps back
and executes the 'rana.)!
- XL sets up for a Dragon Suplex, but FFleisch fights out of it
and drops down to a sitting position on the mat. He then rolls
backwards and feeds his legs to XL, who lifts him up via a
bodyscissors, only to be tossed several feet via an armdrag
counter. Fleisch then running dropkicks XL out through the ropes
and onto the ringside concrete.
- Red's Irish whip is reversed and he'ss sent into the ropes, but
he counters Hart's tilt-a-whirl lift by rotating once around
Hart's body and executing a Swinging DDT!
- Storm whips Red into the corner and ccharges toward him, but Red
takes a step forward and catapults Storm over his head as he's
coming toward him. Storm lands on the middle buckle with his back
to Red, and then blindly leaps backwards in an attempt at the
Rewind Huracanrana. Red refuses to be taken over, though, and
instead manuevers Storm onto his shoulder in a Crucifix-style
Canadian Back Rack (it's not really a Crucifix Powerbomb hold
because Storm's still sort of on Red's shoulder, rather than
being held up while completely behind him, like with a Razor's
Edge). The S.A.T. member then charges out of the corner and into
the center of the ring, where he leaps forward and turns the hold
into a Sitout Powerbomb, dropping Storm onto the back of his
neck! Red calls that move, the "Red Edge."
- With Hart in the ring, XL executes a 180º Corkscrew
Springboard, looking as if he's trying the 720º Phoenix DDT. He
then leaps backwards off of the ropes and does another 180º
while in midair so that he ends up facing the same way he started
(facing his foe). He lands on Hart shoulders and executes a
Huracanrana! Both of the spins XL did were in the same direction,
so the move was basically the Phoenix DDT, only a Huracanrana
version that's never, ever been seen before.
- XL lifts Fleisch into a shoulder mount, but Fleisch
grabs XL's right arm with his left hand and then does a
pseudo-forward roll so that he ends up swinging back down to the
mat (his left foot touches the mat a split second before his
right foot lands on it) and in the process, he takes XL with him,
armdragging him across the ring. Fleisch whips XL into the ropes,
but it's reversed, and Fleisch bounces off. XL tries a
tilt-a-whirl corkscrew lift, only to have Fleisch land on his
feet and use an armdrag. XL lands in the corner and when he gets
back up, Fleisch charges toward him, but at the last possible
moment, zigzags a few degrees to the left, springboards off of
the middle ring rope, lands on XL's shoulders, and Huracanranas
him out of the corner!
- Fleisch executes a SPRINGBOARD SHOOTIING STAR DDT onto XL!
- With Red in the ring, Fleisch executees a 180º Corkscrew
Springboard in an attempt at the 720º Phoenix DDT. Red, though,
hustles toward the ring ropes and runs into them, causing Fleisch
to be crotched on the top ring rope, and then drop down onto the
apron. After eventually recovering, Fleisch starts climbing back
up to his feet while on the apron, at which point Red runs off of
the opposite ropes and charges toward his foe. He executes the
718 (619), but modifies it by wrapping his legs around Fleisch's
head and Tilt-a-Whirl Headscissors Takeovering him off of the
apron and out to the ringside concrete, where he takes out Evans,
and Storm!
- In one of the most incredible spots ever seen in the
history of pro wrestling, Hart hits a Both Standing Super
Northern Lights Suplex, but Red holds onto Hart's head and
carries him over with him, causing Hart to do a moonsault and
land on his chest. This makes it look like Red (who lands on his
back via a front flip) countered the suplex by holding onto Hart
and carrying him over with him...right into a HUGE DDT! Holy f'n
sh*t!
NWA-TNA Xplosion Tapings (8/20/03): Mad Mikey def. Altar Boy Luke, Glen Gilberti def. Pogo, Ted Hart def. Jonny Storm
- Jimmy Rave vs. Josh Prohibition
- "Sick" Nick Mondo vs. "Vicious" Vic Grimes
- Mondo tries a stiff kick, but Grimes catches his leg under
his armpit, lifts Mondo up into the air, and and delivers an
enormous Spinebuster!
- Mondo attempts a Flying Crossbody Bloock onto a pile of tacks,
but Grimes catches him in midair and - all in one motion -
delivers a stiff Swinging Powerslam onto the tacks!
- Mondo leaps off of the top buckle andd catches Grimes - standing
on the apron - with a Huracanrana that sends him somersaulting
forward and crushing a ringside pile of light tubes!
- Grimes whips Mondo into the ropes andd executes a hiptoss, but
instead of letting Mondo land back-first onto the mat, Grimes
catches him (after he [Mondo] does a flip) in position for a
backbreaker, where Mondo is about level with his (Grimes') neck.
However, instead of dropping down to one knee, Grimes turns his
grip on Mondo into an Inverted Michinoku Driver, where Mondo
lands on his chest (instead of his back), and sits out in the
process!
- Mondo tries an Owen Hart-style Leapinng Shoulder-Mount into a
Victory Roll, but Grimes refuses to be taken over into the
victory roll and instead grabs Mondo in a bodyscissors hold and
then Wheelbarrow Suplexes him over his head!
- Mondo dives off of the top turnbucklee and Huracanranas Grimes
off of the apron and through a ringside table!
- Mondo tries a stiff kick, but Grimes catches his leg against
his hip. Mondo, though, smartly hits an Enziguri Kick!
- Mondo tries to whip him into the ropees, but Grimes reverses it.
Mondo tries a cross body block, but Grimes catches him. Grimes
attempts to turn the hold into his signature Sitdown Shoulder
Jawbreaker, but Mondo wraps his arm around Grimes' head and takes
him down with a DDT!
- Grimes lifts Mondo up onto his shouldder with what looks to be a
Backdrop Suplex, but instead of falling backwards and dropping
Mondo onto his back, Grimes tosses Mondo's entire body forward so
that he ends up landing on his back and head. At the same time,
Grimes sits out, so the move ends up being a Belly-to-Back Suplex
into Michinoku Driver II-type sitout/Sitout Belly-to-Back Suplex!
- Mondo attempts a Diving Huracanrana ooff of the top buckle, but
Grimes catches him in a powerbomb position and turns it into the
Grimes Cutter (Catching/Midair Cutter)!
- The Carnage Crew (HC Loc & Tony DeVito) vs. The H8 Club (Nick Gage & Nate Hatred)
- Colt Cabana vs. Matt Striker
- Altar Boy Luke vs. Brian XL vs. Sonjay Dutt
Highlights:
- M-Dogg and Sonjay perform a Greco-Roman knuckle lock. M-Dogg
monkey flips Sonjay, holds onto the knuckle lock, rolls backwards
to his feet, and brings Sonjay with him, pulling him into the air
in the process. As Sonjay comes back down, he monkey flips
M-Dogg. This sequence is repeated, this time with M-Dogg doing
the monkey flip. M-Dogg rolls backwards and retains the knuckle
lock. The sequence looks to be occurring again, as M-Dogg pulls
Sonjay up into the air with him, but instead of doing a monkey
flip, Sonjay performs a Huracanrana (and releases the knuckle
lock while in midair)!
- Luke tries a run-the-ropes Tornado DDDT, like he did to Vic
Grimes at XPW Hostile Takeover. Icarus, though, pulls him off of
the ropes and into a Fireman's Carry. From there, he tosses him
over his head as if for a front slam, but Luke counters with a
nice-looking armdrag.
- M-Dogg attempts a Flying SHOOTING STAAR DDT, but Icarus catches
him in midair with a Cutter!
- Elix Skipper vs. Jason Cross vs. Paul London
- CM Punk vs. The Messiah
- Messiah lifts Punk up into a Torture Rack and charges across
the ring, looking for the Fall From Grace. Punk drops out,
though, lands behind, and runs off of the ropes. As he nears
closer, Messiah presses his foe up into the air in an attempt to
hit Carlito's Way, but Punk - instead of landing into the
former-Hi-V member's cutter - lands with an inverted DDT onto
Messiah!
- Messiah spins Punk around while attemmpting the Godsmack
(Spinning Fireman's Carry Stunner), but Punk uses the momentum of
the spinning effectively and plants Messiah with an inverted DDT!
Messiah attempts the Sinnter (Super Death Valley Driver), but Punk fights him off and hits the Pepsi Plunge for the pinfall win!
- AJ Styles vs. Super Dragon
- Best Two-out-of-Three Falls Tag Team Match: "American Dragon" Bryan Danielson & Low Ki vs. Donovan Morgan & Michael Modest
- Ki tries a stiff kick, but Modest catches the leg against
his hip and immediately T-Bone Suplexes Ki.
- Modest attempts his Running Handstandd Super Huracanrana (where
he hand stands upside-down on the bottom turnbuckle and 'ranas
his opponent [who's sitting on the top buckle] down to the mat;
Trish Stratus uses it, too) on Dragon, but Dragon catches his
legs and holds onto them, disallowing Modest to backwards flip
back down to the mat. Instead, Dragon hooks both of Modest's legs
over his shoulders, both of his arms behind his (Dragon's) legs,
and leaps forward, pancaking Modest face-first into the mat below
with a Styles Clash off of the second buckle! This obtains a
1-2-3 for Dragon.
2004 ECWA Super 8: Harry Smith, John Walters, Preston Quinn, Jason Cross, Steve Stone, Michael Shane, Grim Reefer, Roderick Strong
Walters, Smith, Shane, Cross
Walters, Shane vs. Quinn, Stone
Harry Smith vs. Roderick Strong
- Strong attempts a Belly-to-Back Lift into a Backbreaker, but
before he can drop down to one knee and execute the Backbreaker,
Smith takes him over via a side headlock, and then applies a
grounded side headlock.
- Strong executes a Torture Rack Gutbusster, and then looks to hit
Smith's own Running Over-the-Shoulder Powerslam, but Smith drops
out and lands on his feet behind him. He then gut kicks Strong
and attempts a Northern Lights Suplex, but Strong fights out of
it with elbow smashes to the back of the neck, and then tries a
bodyslam, but Smith drops out and lands on his feet behind him,
and then pushes Strong into the nearby ringpost. Strong in turn
bounces off, stumbling backward...directly into a backdrop suplex
from Smith!
- Strong tries the C-X (Crucifix Powerbbomb Hold into Ace
Crusher), but when he tries to flip Smith into the Ace Crusher
part of the move, Smith instead takes him down, all in one
motion, into a Crippler Crossface for the submission win.
Grim Reefer vs. Jason Cross
- Cross tries a Last Rites, but loses his grip on Reefer's
head while rotating around during the move, so Reefer is able to
budge free. Cross then turns around and charges his foe with a
Yakuza Kick, but that's ducked and when Cross turns back around,
he receives a Huracanrana from Reefer.
- Reefer sits Cross on the top buckle aand sets up for a Super
Huracanrana, but Cross pushes him back down to the ring mat, and
then - when Reefer climbs back to his feet - leaps off of the
middle buckle with a Somersault Perpendicular Neckbreaker (The
Crossover Neckbreaker)!
- Cross nails his signature Torture Racck Kneebuster (facebuster
where he rams the guy's face onto his knee), and then runs off of
the ropes and executes a Running Somersault Kid
Krusher/Tomakaze/Unprettier.
- Reefer attempts his signature Ropewallk Somersault Senton, but
Cross rolls out of the way at the last moment, and then - when
both guys have made it back to their feet - executes an Inverted
Enziguri Kick.
- Cross sets up for a Dragon Suplex, buut Reefer drops down into a
sitting position on the mat, and then does a partial backwards
roll, where he lifts his feet up under Cross' armpits. Cross
wrenches down on Reefer's feet and wheelbarrows him upward and
tries to take him over into a wheelbarrow suplex, but Reefer
counters into a Bulldog!
Michael Shane vs. Steve Stone
"Hurricane" John Walters vs. Preston Quinn
- Quinn tries his signature Rolling Piledrivers, but Walters is able to escape the second one via a Double-Leg Takedown, and then tries to apply his trademark Sharpshooter, but Quinn is able to fight it off.
Semifinals: Harry Smith vs. "Hurricane" John Walters
- Smith tries a Backdrop Suplex, but Cross flips out and lands
on his feet. Cross then feeds Smith his leg when the Canadian
turns around and executes his signature Inverted Enziguri Kick.
- Smith tries his signature Delayed Verrtical Suplex, but Cross
eventually drops out and lands on his feet behind his foe. Cross
then runs off of the ropes and attempts a running Swinging DDT,
but Smith counters by sitting out with a Ballsbreaker-style
Spinebuster Slam.
Semifinals: Jason Cross vs. Michael Shane
Finals: Jason Cross vs. "Hurricane" John Walters
- Walters tries the Hurricane DDT (Canadian Back Rack Hold into Corkscrew Drop into DDT), but Cross refuses to be taken down into the DDT and instead lands on his feet. He then lifts Walters up onto his shoulders via a Fireman's Carry and tries to turn it into a Stunner, but Walters lands on his feet and instead of be taken down via the Stunner, executes a Blue Thunder Bomb for 2.

- E.Z. Money vs. Nova
Nova attempts a torture rack lift, but E.Z. delivers some elbow
smashes to the head and escapes. He runs off the ropes, ducks a
lariat, and hits a rope handspring/backspring back elbow smash,
sending Nova down. When Nova gets back up, he's hit with The
Money Clip (Catapult Somersault Lariat). E.Z. covers, but gets 2.
He then sits Nova up on the top turnbuckle and sets up for his
iconoclasm. However, Nova kicks him in the head and nails The
Nova Blast (Middle Buckle Flying Somersault Neckbreaker). Nova
then hits The Third Degree (two straight rolling piledrivers into
a sitdown spinning powerbomb), but E.Z. counters the powerbomb
with a 'rana. Nova gets back up and E.Z. runs off of the ropes.
He ducks a few lariat and attempts another handspring/backspring
elbow smash, but Nova catches him and nails The Spin Doctor (Last
Rites). He then hits The Kryptonic Krunch (Crooked Back-to-Belly
Cradle Piledriver) for the pinfall win.
