Rundown Results:
Cynric b. Jamie Chan
Gail Kim b. Sara Del Rey
Delirious b. Dreamo
Trent Acid b. Alan Mayse
("Neocon" opening.)
David: Welcome to Go Time, fans, and MECCA comes to you tonight from Jacksonville, Florida. I'm David Mills, along with Dick Broccoli, and we are counting down the days to Punked Out.
Dick: It's just three days away, where you'll see Ronin Fox defend the World Title against Kevin Stone, and Eight-Man Throwdown will determine who gets a title shot at Summertime Showdown. And tonight in the main event, it will be a rematch from an Eight-Man Throwdown qualifying match from two weeks ago. Alan Mayse wants a piece of Cynric after that nunchukus attack in their previous bout.
David: We'll also see the World Champion in action tonight, as Ronin Fox will team with fellow House of Lords member Joey Sprinklers to take on the UK Wrecking Crew of Andy Nathans and Jack Fletcher. But we're kicking things off with the second match of the singles series!
("Burning Times" hits and Jay Crowe makes his way to the ring.)
David: The Pyro Twins are coming to San Francisco this Saturday to regain the tag titles, and they're already one up on the Killer Kanines after Dusty's victory last week over the Wild Wolf.
Dick: It's up to Anubis to save face for his team going into Punked Out.
("Kobrakai" hits and Anubis makes his way to the ring.)
David: Anubis is much larger than Jay, but Jay's a scrapper. He's gone toe to toe with some of the best here in MECCA.
Dick: You would think from his size that Jay would be more suited for a cruiserweight style, but he's actually a far better grappler and brawler. But Anubis has a tremendous size advantage, and that's something Jay will have to overcome.
(FINISH: After a hard fought match, Jay actually gets Anubis over for the belly-to-belly suplex, but Anubis pops back up and nearly clotheslines Jay out of his boots. Both men are slow to get up, and have a brutal forearm exchange as they make their way to their feet. Anubis gets the better of it, and hits Jay repeatedly with hard forearms. Jay wobbles, and Anubis rears back for a final one, but Jay catches his arm and takes him down into a cross armbreaker. Anubis struggles to keep his arm bent, but Jay wrenches back and manages to get the hold fully applied. Anubis gets a foot over the bottom rope, and Jay has to release. He gets to his feet and dropkicks Anubis in the head. He signals for the Overhaul, but isn't quite strong enough to hold Anubis up. He escapes and folds Jay up with the Ankh Smash. Dusty Schneble runs out, but Anubis picks Jay up and delivers an ocean cyclone suplex, bridging for the pin.)
Winner: Anubis
David: Anubis won a very hard striking contest against one of his opponents this Saturday, and what an impressive victory it was over the young veteran Jay Crowe.
Dick: He didn't have it easy, though. Jay almost had him outwrestled, but Anubis showed great ring awareness to escape that juji gatame.
David: But why did Dusty come out here? I understand wanting to check on your partner, but the match wasn't over yet.
(Dusty helps Jay to his feet, staring coldly at Anubis as he celebrates.)
(Backstage, Bill Bicknell is standing by with Kevin Stone.)
Bill: I'm here with Kevin Stone, the MECCA Monster, and perhaps after this Saturday, the first ever two-time MECCA World Champion. Congratulations on winning the Supernova Spectacle two weeks ago in England.
Stone: Thank you, Bill, and yes, the monster has risen again, the beast is back. Ronin Fox, you and I go back a long way, but in this business we always seem to be on opposite sides of the fence. But that's okay, because what I have planned for you in San Francisco is nothing I would ever consider doing to a friend. And when I end your title reign and raise that belt high above my head, I continue the legacy I left behind over a year ago, and your reign will be a brief footnote in MECCA history. And you can...
(Fox and Cynric suddenly blindside Kevin and knock him down with forearms. Cynric gets him up and Fox hits Stone upside the head with the title belt. Before he can do further damage, Eddie Crowe is on the scene and attacks both Fox and Cynric. Fox ducks out of the way as Eddie blocks a roundhouse kick from Cynric and spears him into a vending machine. Cynric crawls away as Eddie checks on Kevin.)
Eddie: Are you all right?
Stone: Yeah, I'll be fine.
(Nykk enters.)
Nykk: What in the hell is going on here? Can't you even have a peaceful interview without starting a fight, Kevin? I ought to take away your title shot for that...
Eddie: Wait a minute, it was Cynric and Fox who blindsided him!
Nykk: And what are you doing here anyway? You have no business here, Eddie, and if you can't keep your nose out of things that don't concern you, I'm afraid you've left me with no choice. You have the night off, my friend. See you at the pay-per-view.
Eddie: Wait a minute... I've got a tag team match with Delirious later...
Nykk: Yeah, it's supposed to be between participants in the Eight-Man Throwdown, but you blew it tonight. I guess Alan will have to take your place and wrestle twice. Oh well.
(Eddie lunges at Nykk, but Nykk blows a small whistle around his neck and security arrives to pull Eddie off of him and take him away.)
Nykk: And don't show your face around here again tonight!
(Commercial Break)
(At the announcing booth, David Mills and Dick Broccoli are facing the camera.)
David: Welcome back to Go Time, fans, and be sure to join us this Saturday as MECCA presents Punked Out, live on pay-per-view. For the World Title, Ronin Fox defends his belt against Kevin Stone.
Dick: You'll also see Eight-Man Throwdown, with the winner getting a title shot at Summertime Showdown. Alan Mayse, Delirious, Eddie Crowe, Matt Sydal, the entire UK Wrecking Crew and one player yet to be named will be randomly divided into two teams. The winners of that eight-man tag go on to face each other later in the night in a Four Way Dance to determine the winner.
David: The war between Nykk and Bryan Danielson comes to an end. Just who is the better wrestler? We'll find out in a Two out of Three Falls Match.
Dick: In another debate to settle who the better wrestler is, Lisa Letty will defend her Ladies' Title against the Women's World Cup winner, Gail Kim.
David: For the MECCA Tag Team Titles, the Pyro Twins finally get a chance to regain the belts as they face off with the champions the Killer Kanines.
Dick: And last but not least, Low Ki will defend the Toughman Title against Cynric, who hurt him so bad last week in an attack that Ki had to go to the hospital. Right now, we understand we have a camera in Ki's hospital room.
(They go to a split screen, and Low Ki is sitting up in his hospital bed.)
David: Ki, can you hear us?
Low Ki: I'm here, David.
David: Certainly this is not how the fans of MECCA are used to seeing you. Can you tell us just what Cynric did to you that caused this extended hospital stay?
Low Ki: Well, his kicks did give me multiple concussions, and I've been having episodes of blackouts and disorientation. The doctors thought it would be best if I stayed a while until I was fully healed.
David: Will you be ready to go this Saturday at Punked Out?
Low Ki: I'm almost at a hundred percent, which Cynric is about to find out. Cynric, if you think you can attack me from behind and send me to the hospital just because who you work for will hand down no repercussions, think about it: I was going to kick your ass when I was still indifferent to you. Now... NOW... I am coming for your life, Cynric. You will feel pain that I only reserve for my worthiest foes or my worst enemies. I promise you will suffer something worse than defeat. Worse than humiliation. You will suffer the knowledge that if I really wanted, I could have killed you.
(Backstage, Gail Kim is sitting on the floor of the ladies' locker room.)
Gail: Seven months... that's how long I held onto the Ladies' Title. Not an incredibly long reign... but still longer than anyone has been able to do so far in the history of MECCA. Seven months I held onto that belt any way I could. If I had to cheat, I did it. If I had to take a count-out or DQ loss, I did it. And if I just plain had to win, I did it. If I had to defend it in hardcore matches, I did it. Because this is not about being a "diva" or about plastic surgery to me... this is about my life, my time in this business, my time in the spotlight. It's about what I trained so hard for, what I endured being released for, and what I found new life for in MECCA. This business is in my blood, and to be without the title I know I can own, it makes that blood boil. Lisa Letty, you find yourself in the position that I was when I was champion. You hold onto that belt any way you can. And it says something that you have that title to begin with, because it's been one year since I lost that title, and I'm just now getting a one on one opportunity to regain it. One year I had to watch myself get passed over for title shots... until I heard about the Women's World Cup. And I got off to a rocky start, losing to a legend Mariko Yoshida. But I bounced back in a big way... I defeated competitors from Mexico, England, the United States and even Ireland, and held up my country's flag proudly at the MECCA Challenge III. Some say that makes me the best women's wrestler in the world... but not in my mind. Not until I get that belt back, Lisa. I have to be the best, I need to be the best. And if I'm not, then maybe I don't belong here in MECCA anymore.
(Gail gets up and leaves.)
(In the arena, "Did My Time" hits and Ronin Fox and Joey Sprinklers make their way to the ring.)
David: We're ready for tag team action here on Go Time, and normally you would see our World Champ teaming with his brother Cynric or Nykk, but Cynric has a match later and I guess Nykk just doesn't feel like competing tonight.
Dick: He's resting up for his match with Bryan Danielson this Saturday, but that didn't stop him from banning Eddie Crowe from the building and making Alan Mayse wrestle twice.
("Problems" hits and the UK Wrecking Crew make their way to the ring.)
David: The UKWC were upset at Nykk when we were in the UK the last couple of weeks for taking pot shots at their homeland immediately after they got their hometown victories.
Dick: The UK Wrecking Crew have been saying they're the best faction in MECCA, a claim that was challenged by the House of Lords, and it looks like we may finally get to see whose claim is valid.
(FINISH: Fox goes for the Tail End on Nathans, but he gets thrown off and clotheslined. Nathans goes for a German suplex, but Fox lands on his feet and leapfrogs over Nathans, tagging Joey. Joey springboards in and gets caught with a dropkick. Fox comes back in, but Fletcher intercepts him with a dropkick. He throws Fox out of the ring and they give Joey the Crane Swing. Nathans covers and gets the three count.)
Winners: The UK Wrecking Crew
David: The UKWC pick up an impressive victory over the House of Lords, and I get the feeling the first shots have only just been fired.
(The UKWC get out of the ring and back up the aisle, taunting Fox, who is kicking at the ropes. As Fox yells at them, Kevin Stone comes in through the crowd. He clotheslines Joey hard, and Fox tries to hit him with the belt again. Kevin ducks and gives Fox a big boot. He whips him into the ropes and launches him into the air with the Stone Cutter. He holds up the World Title, and then drops it on Fox's body before exiting the ring.)
David: Kevin Stone has made a statement, and it's that at Punked Out we will have a new MECCA Champion!
Dick: Stone was showing some stones coming out here and taking it to the House of Lords like that. The MECCA Monster is definitely a force to consider this Saturday.
David: We'll be back soon with more MECCA action!
(Backstage, Bill Bicknell is standing by with the Killer Kanines.)
Bill: Anubis, Wild Wolf, you managed to tie it up in the singles series tonight, but that was only a preview for this Saturday, as you defend your tag team belts against the Pyro Twins. Has going against them in these singles matches prepared you any better for what lies ahead?
Wolf: I'd say for me personally, I learned a lot facing Dusty Schneble last week, and though I didn't come out on top, the big man here tied it up this week and I'm proud of him. Now we've got momentum, and now Pyro Twins, you're going to find out why even when we lost these titles, it didn't take us long to get them back. You'll find out why no one has been able to dethrone us.
Anubis: Jay, Dusty, both of you are formidable opponents. When you're together, you're damn near impossible to beat. But not for us. Get ready. We're solidifying our spot as the top tag team in MECCA.
(Commercial Break)
(In the arena, "Gangsta Bitch" hits and Shadow and Nikki Chandler make their way to the ring.)
David: It's time for tag team action in the ladies' division, as Shadow and Nikki Chandler will make for an unlikely team.
Dick: Both ladies are trying to climb the rankings, although Shadow has been promised a future title shot by Lisa Letty.
("Brackish" hits and Gail Kim and Sara Del Rey make their way to the ring.)
David: Gail Kim is determined to win the Ladies' Title this Saturday, but what was that she meant about not belonging in MECCA anymore if she couldn't win the belt?
Dick: Gail feels very strongly about this, so it may just be a way to motivate herself.
(FINISH: Shadow goes for the Interceptor on Del Rey, who is on the ropes, but Del Rey backdrops her to the floor. She ducks a clothesline from Chandler and gives her a German suplex. Chandler rolls to her feet to receive a missile dropkick from Kim. She then applies the Stretch Muffler and Chandler taps out.)
Winners: Gail Kim and Sara Del Rey
David: Kim gets the victory going into Punked Out, and she is in for the fight of her life because not only does she have to face the First Lady of MECCA, but perhaps the rest of the House of Lords as well.
Dick: What a match it will be for the Ladies' Title in San Francisco.
David: We'll be right back with tag team action involving some of the men who will compete in Eight-Man Throwdown this Saturday!
(Backstage, Bill Bicknell is standing by with Nykk.)
Bill: Nykk, the House of Lords has a tough night coming up at Punked Out. Ronin Fox will defend his World Title against Kevin Stone, Lisa Letty defends the Ladies' Title against Gail Kim, and you have a Two out of Three Falls Match scheduled with Bryan Danielson.
Nykk: And what a glorious night it will be. Fox will prove that he's here to stay as the MECCA Champion, my sweet Lisa will prove that she is in fact the best female competitor in the world, and Cynric is going to bring the Toughman Title to the House of Lords. And American Dragon, what have you gotten yourself into? Two out of three falls against me? I've told you before I'm winning this two straight. The fact of the matter is the last two times we've met, I was just playing around. Now I'm a meaner Nykk, a smarter Nykk, a more ruthless Nykk. I will stop at nothing, including your humiliation. And after you've been embarrassed, I will stand over you with my hand held in the air, and you will finally have to admit that I'm the better man, right to my face. And when that happens, no matter how hurt you feel or how much blood you may spill in the future, your soul will be forever tainted as it bleeds until the end of your days.
(Commercial Break)
(In the arena, "Seven Nation Army" hits and Alan Mayse and Delirious make their way to the ring.)
David: We're set for tag team action, and this match will involve participants in Eight-Man Throwdown this Saturday.
Dick: It was supposed to be Eddie Crowe out here and not Alan, but of course Nykk had him barred from the building tonight, and Alan still has a match to come against Cynric.
("Ballroom Blitz" hits and Tristan Lee and Matt Sydal make their way to the ring.)
David: These two and their respective allies have been feuding for months, but they'll have to learn to get along, especially since they may be on the same team at Punked Out.
Dick: I can't wait for Eight-Man Throwdown. It's going to be random and wild!
(FINISH: Sydal hits a twisting moonsault onto Alan on the outside, and Lee moves out of the way of Shadows Over Hell from Delirious. He gives him the Degenerate Driver and covers, but the ref says he's not legal. Sydal gets back into the ring and tells Lee to get back in their corner. Lee shoves him, and Sydal responds with a right hand. Delirious dropkicks Sydal into Lee and then bounces off the ropes, but Sydal gives him a spinning heel kick. He goes for the Here It Is Driver, but Delirious slides beneath Sydal's legs and hooks his arms. He gives him Chemical Imbalance #2 and gets the three count.)
Winners: Alan Mayse and Delirious
David: Mayse and Delirious are victorious, but here comes the cavalry!
(Andy Nathans and Jack Fletcher hit the ring and Nathans forearms Delirious from behind. Fletcher picks up Sydal, and Nathans lays into him with right hands. Lee joins in with some kicks before Alan tackles Fletcher, and Delirious goes after Lee. All six men brawl around the ringside area.)
David: It's bedlam already! What's it going to be like at Punked Out? Find out this Saturday, live on pay-per-view!
(Backstage, Nykk is watching the melee on the monitor when Joey Sprinklers enters.)
Joey: Hey, boss.
Nykk: Joey. I've thought of a special task for you.
Joey: You did? Wait till I tell Huh, I'll show him who's a true lackey...
Nykk: Yeah, whatever. As you know, I have yet to name an eighth participant in Eight-Man Throwdown this Saturday, but I completely forgot about the last qualifying match... you know, this past weekend in Rio de Janeiro... you and the legendary Bobo Brazil hooking it up in... er... Brazil... and you just barely edged out a victory.
Joey: Whaddya talkin' about? Last weekend I was skateboardin' through some sprinklers. It brought back old memories.
Nykk: No, Joey. Last weekend you were in South America, winning a qualifying match for Eight-Man Throwdown. Got it?
Joey: Uh... yeah! So I could get a title shot if I win this thing?
Nykk: I wouldn't plan on it. Because your task is to keep Eddie Crowe from getting his rematch against Fox. That's the only reason you're in this.
Joey: But if we end up on opposite sides, and my team wins, I could go for the title shot?
Nykk: (sighs) Yeah, knock yourself out.
Joey: All right!
Nykk: Now go prepare. As the sole House of Lords representative, I don't want you embarrassing me out there.
Joey: You got it, boss.
(Joey leaves.)
(Commercial Break)
(In the arena, Alan Mayse is standing in the middle of the ring with a microphone, talking to a stagehand.)
Alan: I don't care if we just got back from commercial and we have to hype the PPV. Everyone knows when and where, and everyone knows that I'm winning Eight-Man Throwdown and coming for the World Title! And Cynric, you and I have a match right now. Two weeks ago you blasted me with nunchukus, but I don't need a weapon to disable you. Get your ass out here right now!
("Soul Creation" hits and Cynric makes his way to the ring. Halfway down the aisle, he reaches into his gi and takes out another pair of nunchukus.)
David: Cynric is playing more mind games with Alan, after nearly putting him on the shelf two weeks ago. This has to be one final attempt to wear Alan down before Eight-Man Throwdown in three days.
Dick: Cynric is being called the Chief Assassin of the House of Lords, and he's living up to his name, as he is carrying out all of Nykk's dirty work.
(FINISH: Alan goes for the Tiger Bomb, but Cynric escapes to his feet, driving Alan down to one knee. He hits the Lift Off, but rather than cover he retrieves his nunchukus. The ref gives him a warning, but Cynric shoves him out of the way and takes a swing at Alan. Alan ducks, and the nunchukus bounce off the top rope and hit Cynric in the head. Alan rolls him up with an inside cradle and gets the three count.)
Winner: Alan Mayse
David: Alan has won for the second time tonight after Cynric's treachery backfired!
Dick: This is not good for Cynric, who will be going for the Toughman Title on Saturday, but Alan now has momentum heading into Punked Out!
David: We'll see you in San Francisco, fans. Good night!
