("Neocon" opening.)
David: Welcome to Trenton, New Jersey, fans, as MECCA makes its debut here in the Garden State with Go Time! I'm David Mills, along with Dick Broccoli, and tonight you will see a tag title match take place as the Killer Kanines defend against the UK Wrecking Crew of Andy Nathans and Jack Fletcher!
Dick: Speaking of the UKWC, Nikki Chandler will be in action against the woman she attacked last week, the winner of the Women's World Cup, Gail Kim.
David: We'll also hear from the House of Lords and much more right here tonight.
("Cool" hits and the Human Tornado and Delirious make their way to the ring.)
David: We're kicking things off with some tag team action as the unorthodox team of the Human Tornado and Delirious make their way down...
(Suddenly, Andy Nathans, Jack Fletcher and Tristan Lee run out through the curtain and attack Delirious and Tornado before they make it to the ring. Nathans rams Tornado head first into the guardrail as Fletcher and Lee pummel Delirious. They lift him and then drop him on the concrete floor. Nathans and Fletcher kick Tornado in the ribs, and Lee upends the timekeeper's table on top of Delirious. The UKWC get into the ring, and Nathans asks for the mic.)
Nathans: Can't you Jersey losers shut up for a minute? Before Fletcher and I once again become MECCA Tag Team Champions tonight, we have something to say! A couple weeks ago, we saw the emergence of a new faction here in MECCA. Things seem to be changing at a rapid rate, but the fact remains that the UK Wrecking Crew is still the top faction here in MECCA!
Fletcher: That's right, mate. Our policy has never changed. We still demolish the competition wherever we go, and tonight is our night to prove it! Not only are we winning the titles tonight, but Nikki Chandler will take on that submission slag Gail Kim and prove why she's the best female wrestler in the world. Tonight, we will show why we are the premier faction, and everyone else is just a pretender. Once we...
(Matt Sydal runs in through the crowd and slides into the ring with a chair. He sets it in the corner and spins Fletcher around, nailing him with a hard right. Nathans and Lee get rights of their own, but when they get up and come after him, Sydal picks up the chair and the UKWC flees the ring.)
David: Matt Sydal has cleared the ring, and it looks like Delirious and Tornado are going to be too hurt to compete tonight. We really need to move on with the show here.
(Sydal picks up the mic.)
Sydal: UK Wrecking Crew... don't think for one moment I've forgotten you three protecting Joey Sprinklers a few weeks back! If you're out here to make a statement in MECCA, guess what? I am too. And Nathans, Fletcher, I know you two have a match tonight, but seeing as how a spot just opened up on the card, how about you send Lee's Famous Recipe in here and we'll see just whose statement is better?
Dick: That's a challenge for Tristan Lee, and what a match this would be between two high flyers!
(Nathans and Fletcher tell Tristan to go take care of Sydal, and he slides in the ring as the ref calls for the bell.)
David: And it looks like we're on with our opener here on Go Time, Matt Sydal vs. Tristan Lee!
(FINISH: Sydal goes for the Here It Is Driver, but Nathans jumps on the apron. Lee rolls through the move and takes Sydal over, and Fletcher hands him a pair of brass knuckles. Lee puts them on his fist and takes a swing, but Sydal ducks and takes him down with the Slice. He goes to the top rope and goes for the Shooting Sydal Press, but Lee sticks the brass knuckles right into Sydal's face. As he staggers, Lee gets up and gives Sydal the Degenerate Driver. He throws the brass knuckles out of the ring and covers for the three count.)
Winner: Tristan Lee
David: Tristan Lee wins it, but his buddies in the UKWC should have some credit given for this victory as well. How cheap.
Dick: The UK Wrecking Crew are using any means necessary to prove that they're the top faction in MECCA.
David: When we return, the House of Lords will address the crowd here in New Jersey.
(Commercial Break)
(In the arena, "Destroy" hits and Nykk, Ronin Fox, Lisa Letty and Cynric make their way to the ring.)
David: The House of Lords, led by I'm guessing still the owner of MECCA, Nykk, is on their way to the ring. Now that Nykk has power back, and three of MECCA's top guns on his side, we can expect to enter dark days in this organization.
Dick: I wonder what they have to say this week. We found out about Nykk's plan to take over MECCA last week, but maybe now we'll find out how Nykk is able to keep his power as owner.
(Fox gets a mic.)
Fox: All of you need to put a sock in it, because the Lords of MECCA have entered the ring, and you need to kneel and show us respect! We are out here to keep the unwashed masses... and I stress the word "unwashed..." abreast of what's coming up for the new pay-per-view New Dawn on May 26. We've kept it under wraps because we're the lords. We decide what's best for this company and the direction we're headed. Eddie Crowe, you just barely got past me at the MECCA Challenge III, and I'm sure you have a whole slew of challengers waiting their turn. But we make the rules here, and even though Nykk's not on the Contender Star, and I lost my spot because of some meaningless four-way I didn't even want to be in, we've decided that the main event tonight will determine who gets a shot at the champ. Two of the most vocal men in the back against us over the past week or so have been none other than Low Ki, and a man we both know very well, Alan Mayse. So if you guys want to tell us off, do it in the ring tonight. Because tonight's main event is going to be a tag team contest. Myself and Nykk take on Mayse and Ki. And the man who scores the fall goes on to the main event of New Dawn to take on Eddie Crowe for the World Title!
David: Yeah, none of those guys are on the Contender Star at the moment, but I guess that's the authority of the House of Lords at work.
Nykk: So this is the Garden State of New Jersey? I really can't think of a more inappropriate name, since I've seen nothing but factories, smoke stacks and pollution since we crossed over from New York! It's no wonder that New Yorkers are always so depressed... the light at the end of the tunnel for New York is New Jersey! How does it feel for all of you to be in the presence of the true authority here in MECCA? How does it feel for all you so-called Jersey girls to be in the presence of an honest-to-god real lady? (gestures to Lisa) Or did you not recognize one without spandex shorts and fifteen gallons of hair spray? Regardless of how you, the armpit of America, feel about us, the fact of the matter is that MECCA is mine. It was my idea, my creation, and I had control snatched from me before I even really got started. But now the Nykk you all know and love is back, and this time around is going to be very cathartic for me, because what you've seen in the past is nothing compared to what you're going to see now that I'm running the show. It starts tonight with Alan and Ki, and it continues at New Dawn when one of us walk out with the MECCA Championship. And it doesn't end. Ever.
("I've Got the Power" suddenly hits, and Katie Piehl makes her way to the ring.)
David: It's our former co-owner Katie Piehl! I didn't know she was here tonight!
Dick: Does this mean her power isn't completely gone after all?
Nykk: Wait a minute, Katie. You don't belong here! You have no ownership, and as far as I'm concerned, no employment here in MECCA, so security...
(Lisa stops him.)
Lisa: Wait. Let her through.
Nykk: All right. Katie, come on up here. What can we do for you?
(Katie gets in the ring with a mic of her own.)
Katie: You know, after Team MECCA beat the hell out of the David Caldwell Project at the MECCA Challenge, myself, the Killer Kanines, the Pyro Twins, Kevin and Low Ki went down the road to a bar to celebrate. And that bar happened to have the pay-per-view playing on their TV sets. And what do we see after the main event? You two together, beating up MECCA regulars and proclaiming yourselves the House of Lords. I knew right there that it would be useless to try to get my authority back from you, Nykk. So I went to the board of directors last week. And I don't know who you bought off or how much it took, but the message I got is that you have been voted in as the new authority here in MECCA. Although I still retain co-ownership status, I was immediately sent home and told that my services were no longer required and I could rot on the couch and collect paychecks for the rest of my tenure. But I'm not the type of person who accepts a free hand out. So I'm just here to ask you two, Nykk and Lisa, one question: why? After all we went through together to build MECCA, why have you done this?
Nykk: Why? If you even need to ask that question, Katie...
(Lisa requests the mic, and Nykk gives it to her.)
Lisa: Katie Piehl, my friend. You know that ever since MECCA started, I've always had your back. I was the poster girl for the ladies' division, and brought women's wrestling to the forefront, I led the charge against the Dangerous Liaison when they threatened the credibility of the division. I did everything you asked of me, and never requested any special treatment. But when Nykk and I started dating, and that contract clause came out about him having to give up his ownership, where were you then, Katie? I had your back for two years, but when it came time to return the favor, where were you? Suddenly your hands were tied, there was nothing you could do except cover your own ass! You broke the heart of the man I love by making him choose between me and the job he loved, and you didn't even try to stop the board of directors from making him choose. And because of that, I've been planning my revenge ever since.
Katie: I'm sorry you feel that way, Lisa. I assure you, if I could have done anything, I would have...
Fox: Hey, that's all in the past anyway. Why are you out here now? You have no business here, and we're getting ready to take care of some later tonight...
Katie: Listen, Fox, I don't recall you being a part of this conversation. You've been a thorn in my side for over a year now, and quite frankly, I'm glad you didn't win the title at the MECCA Challenge, because that's the one thing that's allowed me to stomach everything that's gone down. You four are not invincible, you're not infallible, and sooner or later...
(Lisa sneaks her way behind Katie and forearms her from behind, sending her down. Lisa kicks Katie in the ribs and then stomps her in the head as Nykk and Fox cheer her on. She locks in the Letty Stretch as Katie screams in pain.)
Nykk: Katie, you could have sat at home and never had to worry about a thing. For the sake of the friendship we used to have, I was going to make sure you were taken care of. But the House of Lords is MECCA's solution, and if you're not part of the solution, then you're part of the problem!
(Officials come out and pry Lisa off of Katie, but she picks up Katie and drops her on her head with the Letty Driver. Katie holds her neck as the officials call for the EMTs to come down.)
David: Leave Katie alone. She's not a wrestler! She's already had her heart broken and betrayed by Nykk and Lisa, and this is just insult to injury.
Nykk: Lisa, my love, I must say that was so enjoyable to watch, and must have been very cathartic for you. But we're out here to talk about New Dawn, and if you ADD fans can remember this far back, a few weeks ago it was Lisa who won a battle royale to get a shot at the Ladies' Title. And on May 26, it will happen. Lisa, you've got your shot against Kelly Schweickart. Get your title back and bring it to the House of Lords, and we'll take care of the MECCA Championship.
(The EMTs have Katie on the stretcher and begin to wheel her out of the arena.)
Nykk: One more time, play her music. Because the power doesn't belong to her anymore; it rests with the House of Lords!
("I've Got the Power" plays as the House of Lords poses.)
David: I'm absolutely disgusted by all of this. The House of Lords can go to hell, and I'm sure there's more than a few MECCA competitors who would be happy to help them on their way.
Dick: Nykk, Fox and Lisa pulled the wool over everyone's eyes, Katie Piehl included, and now she has no authority left. But what a way to thank her for her years of service to this company.
David: When we return, the tag titles will be on the line!
(Commercial Break)
(Backstage, Bill Bicknell is standing by with Kevin Stone.)
Bill: I'm here with Kevin Stone, the MECCA Monster, and Kevin, you fought on the same side as Nykk for months, unaware of what he had in store for MECCA. How do you feel knowing that Nykk betrayed that trust?
Stone: Well, you think I would have learned my lesson about dealing with Nykk by now. He's the kind of guy who never needs you until he needs you, and I guess he needed me to help him stamp out David Caldwell when he lost control of that situation. Nykk, you got one over on me, you made me look like a fool for ever teaming with you, yet you've also given me a shot at the Toughman Title at New Dawn, where I just found out I will take on Joey Sprinklers. If you think you can buy me off, if you think you can pacify me by giving me title matches, you'd better think again. You, Fox, my old buddy Cynric, even Lisa who I also trusted, are all going down. I don't even care if I have to rebel against the authority of the organization that I love. You're all going to feel my wrath when I humiliate you just like you did to me.
(In the arena, "Problems" hits and the UK Wrecking Crew make their way to the ring.)
David: We have tag title action on the way, as the challengers make their way to ringside.
Dick: This has been a long time coming for Andy Nathans and Jack Fletcher, who were our first MECCA Tag Team Champions and really set the standard for what tag team wrestling in MECCA is all about. Now they have the chance to reign on top of the tag team division once again.
("Kobrakai" hits and the Killer Kanines make their way to the ring.)
David: I can't think of a more dominant team in MECCA history than the Killer Kanines, with the possible exception of the Pyro Twins. These guys are tag team wrestling in this company.
Dick: They were also unknowing participants in Nykk's scam, being drafted into the ranks of Team MECCA at the MECCA Challenge III, where they set the foundation for getting rid of the David Caldwell Project in the early going of that match.
(FINISH: The UKWC go for the Wrecking Ball on Wolf, but Anubis intercepts Fletcher with the Ankh Smash. He backdrops Nathans over the top rope, and then sets Fletcher on the top turnbuckle for the Dog Catcher. He ascends an adjacent corner as Wolf goes up with Fletcher. Nathans gets back in the ring and crotches Anubis, and then puts Wolf on his shoulders. Fletcher stands up and prepares to moonsault onto Wolf, but Wolf escapes and pushes Nathans into the corner. He accidentally crotches Fletcher, and then gets the Twig Snap from Wolf. Wolf goes back up and he and Anubis hit the Dog Catcher on Fletcher. Wolf covers and gets the three count.)
Winners: The Killer Kanines
David: The Kanines retain, and will now go on to face the Backseat Boyz at New Dawn!
Dick: That will be another tough title defense for the Kanines, and they've also got a bunch of other teams waiting in the wings for a title shot.
David: The tag team situation is heating up here in MECCA, and when we return, Gail Kim takes on Nikki Chandler.
(Commercial Break)
(Backstage, Joey Sprinklers is running around frantically. He taps Bill Bicknell on the shoulder.)
Joey: Hey, have ya seen Nykk anywhere?
Bill: Nope.
Joey: Hey, Dreamo!
(He walks over to Dreamo, who is rubbing his eyes.)
Joey: Ya seen Nykk?
Dreamo: Did you try his dressing room?
Joey: No one answered. Come on! Somebody...
(He turns around and runs into Low Ki.)
Low Ki: Sprinkles, you had better be looking for Nykk so that you can punch him right in the face. After what he did...
Joey: No, ya see, he just put me in this title match against Kevin Stone at New Dawn, and I figured if I got in good with him, ya know, I might be able to get out of this.
Low Ki: That was the wrong answer.
(Ki advances on him, but Joey runs away.)
(In the arena, "Bad Reputation" hits and Nikki Chandler makes her way to the ring, accompanied by Tristan Lee.)
David: Joey wants to get in good with Nykk? I guess I shouldn't be surprised, since those two do go way back. Right now, the women of MECCA are set for action, and it looks like Chandler brought a little security with her.
Dick: After Chandler blindsided Gail Kim as she was being presented with the World Cup last week and then smashed the trophy, I can't really blame her.
("Brackish" hits and Gail Kim makes her way to the ring.)
David: Gail Kim is incensed that...
Dick: Wait, here comes Gail!
(Gail throws her coat off and dives into the ring, tackling Chandler as the bell rings.)
(FINISH: Chandler reverses a whip into the corner and charges, but Gail gets her feet up. She goes to the second turnbuckle and hits a missile dropkick. Chandler tries to escape under the ropes, but Gail grabs her by the hair. She tries to suplex her back into the ring, but Lee trips her from the outside. Chandler lands on top, and Lee holds Kim's ankle as Chandler gets the three count.)
Winner: Nikki Chandler
David: What a cheap victory for the only female member of the UK Wrecking Crew, as the Women's World Cup victor has been defeated.
Dick: The UKWC will stop at nothing to show their dominance, especially since the House of Lords has risen.
(Lee gets in the ring and holds Kim so that Chandler can continue the attack. Matt Sydal runs out and tackles Lee, hitting him with right hands as Chandler makes a run for it. Nathans and Fletcher quickly come out and attack Sydal from behind. They beat him down, but Delirious and the Human Tornado run out and get in the ring. Delirious headbutts Nathans in the midsection and then hits a running kick to the face. Fletcher catches a kick from Tornado, but throws his foot aside and Tornado hits a dragon whip into an enzugiri. They roll to the outside, and Sydal whips Lee at Tornado and Delirious, who give him a back body drop onto Nathans and Fletcher on the outside.)
David: Sydal, Tornado and Delirious have saved the day on what was surely going to be a bad end for Gail Kim!
Dick: The UKWC has made more enemies tonight than they may be able to handle. We'll have to wait and see where this goes.
(Gail kicks at Chandler as the UKWC hold her back from getting in the ring.)
David: We'll be right back here on Go Time!
(Commercial Break)
(Backstage, Bill Bicknell is with Lisa Letty.)
Bill: Lisa, earlier on we found out that you'll get your title shot at New Dawn when you take on the current Ladies' Champion Kelly Schweickart. This has been your first title shot since last July. Are you feeling a little bit out of your game at all?
Lisa: Absolutely not. When you're competing to win the World Cup, and taking on the authority of MECCA and planning a big takeover, that eats up a lot of your time. But I'm flying high right now, Bill, because all the power in MECCA will belong to the House of Lords, and that includes title belts. This match at New Dawn is just a formality...
(Kelly Schweickart walks up.)
Kelly: Lisa Letty... I can't believe I'm even speaking to you after you turned your back on everyone at the MECCA Challenge, but I wanted to deliver a little message. You see, I worked way too long and way too hard to win this title for you to come in and take it. If you think you're stepping into the ring with the rookie you befriended two years ago, think again. It's true that you built the MECCA ladies' division, but I'm the one who's going to make something out of it.
(Kelly walks away.)
(In the arena, "Sweet Dreams" hits and the CDT make their way to the ring.)
David: A bit of a chilly reception for Lisa Letty from her former friend Kelly Schweickart, and now we've got more tag team action on our hands.
Dick: Former tag team champs the CDT are like men without a country right now after the demise of the David Caldwell Project, but they have to get back into it if they want to regain those belts.
("Burning Times" hits and the Pyro Twins make their way to the ring.)
David: This is not the team to go up against, as the Pyro Twins are not real happy that the Backseat Boyz are getting a tag title shot before them.
Dick: Like it or not, they agreed to it to get the Backseats in the ring back in March.
(Jay gets the mic.)
Jay: Hey, CDT... we never really got the chance to step into the ring and defend MECCA against the David Caldwell Project, but we do remember getting a title shot against you guys where we were screwed out of the belts due to a five minute time limit. That was a mistake. And tonight, you pay for the sins of your former manager. And after that, the Pyro Twins are going for those tag titles and nothing in the world is going to hold us back!
(FINISH: The CDT can't put up much sustained offense against the Pyro Twins and Dreamo is taken out with the Mandate of Heaven. CB hits Dusty with a blockbuster, but gets caught with a belly to belly suplex from Jay. He and Dusty hit Final Darkness and Jay covers for the three count.)
Winners: The Pyro Twins
David: The Pyro Twins make short work of the CDT, and they are focused on getting those MECCA Tag Team Titles.
Dick: The CDT didn't stand a chance tonight, and the Pyro Twins are able to hold their heads high.
David: Up next, the main event. Low Ki and Alan Mayse take on Nykk and Ronin Fox, winner of the fall getting the title shot at New Dawn!
(Commercial Break)
(Backstage, the Backseat Boyz are standing in front of the camera in the locker room.)
Kashmere: We requested this time because we know that we have this title match coming up at New Dawn against the Killer Kanines. Wild Wolf, Anubis, you guys are in for the wrestling lesson of a lifetime. For years, Trent Acid and myself traveled up and down the east coast until we were one of the most feared teams in the world. And now we have a chance to win those tag team belts, and you'd better believe that we stop at nothing to make it happen.
Acid: They say you can't teach an old dog new tricks. And the Killer Kanines are an old dog. You guys have had your day in the sun, but now it's time to let the real champs step in and take their place at the top of the mountain. And I know that you boys will want the Incredible Journey ending but when it's all said and done, it's going to end more like Old Yeller.
(In the arena, "Did My Time" hits and Nykk and Ronin Fox make their way to the ring. They stop midway down the aisle and motion to the back. Cynric comes out with a bo and accompanies them to ringside.)
David: The House of Lords is not even going to pretend that the playing field is level, because here comes Cynric with a bo.
Dick: They have been calling him their Chief Assassin, and I guess that's what they mean by that.
("Fighter's Passion" hits and Low Ki and Alan Mayse make their way to the ring.)
David: Ki and Mayse have never been good friends, but tonight they're united with their mutual hatred of Nykk and Fox, and plus the winner of the fall in this match gets the title shot against Eddie Crowe at New Dawn.
Dick: They're ready to get this thing started, and so am I. Big tag team main event here on Go Time!
(FINISH: Alan whips Fox into the ropes, and Nykk makes a blind tag. Alan takes Fox over with an exploder suplex, and gets a leg lariat from Nykk as Fox distracts the ref. Nykk calls for the bo, and Cynric tosses it to him. Nykk tries to hit Alan, but he ducks and Nykk nails the ref, dropping the bo. Alan crotches Nykk with the bo and hits the Tiger Bomb. Cynric slides in and kicks Alan in the head to break it up, and then grabs the bo. Low Ki gets back in the ring, and he and Cynric have a martial arts showdown. Cynric manages to block Ki's strikes and then lays into him with several combinations with the bo. He ends up flipping Ki with a shot to the head, knocking him out. Alan has a chair, however, and hits Cynric from behind, sending him out of the ring. Alan turns around and gets the chair dropkicked into his face by Fox. Fox gives Alan a Tail End on the chair and covers. Nykk wakes up and manages to drape an arm over Alan as the ref crawls over and makes the three count.)
Winners: Nykk and Ronin Fox
David: Nykk and Fox pick up the victory thanks to Cynric, but who won the match for their team? Nykk was the legal man, but both men covered Alan.
Dick: I don't know, and this could be trouble for the House of Lords.
(Nykk and Fox get up and ask each other what the hell's going on.)
David: The winner of the fall gets the title shot, but it appears that we have two winners on our hands tonight! How will Fox and Nykk decide who gets the shot against Eddie with those two massive egos? We'll find out next week!
