("Neocon" opening.)
David: Happy Fourth of July, everyone! Today MECCA presents a very patriotic Go Time from right here on the West Coast in Los Angeles, California. I'm David Mills, along with Dick Broccoli, and tonight we have a huge tag team match signed.
Dick: That's right. The winner of Eight-Man Throwdown this past Saturday, Alan Mayse, will team with the former MECCA Champion Eddie Crowe. Their opponents will be the current MECCA Champion Ronin Fox and Nykk, representing the House of Lords.
David: We'll also have action in the ladies' division tonight as Heather Star, Mercedes Martinez, Daizee Haze and Zoe Alexander hook it up in a Four Corners Match.
("The Chase" hits and Trent Acid makes his way to the ring.)
David: Trent Acid came up a bit short in his bid for a title shot at Punked Out, but he is still on the Contender Star and a title shot could come his way if he can manage to stay there.
Dick: There are a lot of hungry young wrestlers in MECCA right now. Being on the Contender Star at any point is no small feat.
("Clavicle" hits and Matt Sydal makes his way to the ring.)
David: And this young man personifies all that. Matt Sydal was impressive in Eight-Man Throwdown, but in the end things didn't work out for him. But he has a chance to earn his spot on the Contender Star right now.
Dick: Sydal is a daredevil, but he's someone who takes minimum risk on all his dives. He is perhaps the most accurate of anyone in wrestling right now, and Acid would do well to not let him take to the air.
(FINISH: Sydal goes up for the Cyclorama, but Acid shoves him off the top rope. He goes for a double axehandle, but Sydal counters with an inverted atomic drop. He hits the Slice and gets a two count. He whips Acid into the ropes and puts his head down. Acid kicks him and goes for a Yakuza Kick, but Sydal catches his leg and rolls Acid up in a backslide for a close two count. Sydal ducks a roaring forearm and grabs the arm. He pumphandles it and hits the Here It Is Driver, covering for the three count.)
Winner: Matt Sydal
David: Sydal with a hard fought victory and he has taken Acid's spot on the Contender Star.
Dick: Great counter wrestling by Matt Sydal, and wouldn't he and Ronin Fox be an interesting match to see?
David: Speaking of the champ, he'll be here when we come back, along with the rest of the House of Lords.
(Commercial Break)
(In the arena, "Hold At All Costs" by Iced Earth hits and the House of Lords make their way to the ring, decked out in red, white and blue and wearing exaggerated Uncle Sam hats.)
David: Well, as you can see, both Lisa Letty and Ronin Fox still have their titles, Fox thanks in no small part to Cynric and Nykk lending a helping hand against Kevin Stone at Punked Out.
Dick: They're dressed to the nines for the holiday, and obviously they have something to say this week.
Nykk: For those of you who are wondering, we are dressed like this because of the Fourth of July. Because only in America would someone like me be allowed to run their own wrestling company the way I wanted, without any interference from a so-called business partner. This past Saturday at Punked Out, I may have lost to Bryan Danielson, but we won so much more. The House of Lords is the only power here in MECCA, and we proved it on pay-per-view. Ronin Fox absolutely demolished the MECCA Monster, and my dear, sweet Lisa sent Gail Kim back into midcard purgatory where she belongs. And you may notice that we've got two new members out here, as the Pyro Twins have joined up with a group that will take them places, and indeed they are your new MECCA Tag Team Champions!
(He hands the mic to Jay.)
Jay: Thank you, Nykk. Honestly, I don't know why you're booing us. Our attitude has never changed. We do what we want, when we want, and make it as hot as we want. And it doesn't get any hotter in wrestling these days than MECCA and the House of Lords. The Killer Kanines were merely placeholders until we wanted our belts back. And look what happened... the tag belts are back around the waists of their rightful owners.
Dusty: We are the best tag team in the world, and we're now working directly for the greatest leader in the world, the one and only Nykk! He put this whole thing together, people. He was the man with the vision, but you are all booing him. Let me tell you, I went to Kindergarten with the guy. I have never seen someone with so much vision, so much heart, and so much caring about this business. You all need to...
Nykk: Whoa, whoa, thank you for that, Dusty, but all these idiots will never appreciate what I do, even if you tell them to their stupid faces. It's because of resistance like this why that unlike the USA, MECCA is not a democracy. All you morons get is fascism and I am your dictator, and never forget that. Nonetheless, we have a great show for you tonight, and the main event will truly be a testament to this great country. We are going to show our patriotism by pounding the crap out of guys from the land that tried to oppress us all those years ago. UK Wrecking Crew, you seem to have a big chip on your shoulder after beating Fox and Joey last week, but you got lucky. And I intend to prove it tonight in the main event. On one side, it will be Andy Nathans, Jack Fletcher and Tristan Lee. On the other side, it will be Cynric, Joey Sprinklers and Huh! (pauses) And the Pyro Twins!
David: A handicap match? This is real fair!
Nykk: That's right, five on three, UK Wrecking Crew. We are the top faction in MECCA, and we have over two hundred years of history to back that up!
("Destroy" hits and the House of Lords poses.)
David: Nykk has really stacked the deck against the UK Wrecking Crew tonight. Five on three handicap match is our main event. We'll be right back with more action.
(Commercial Break)
(In the arena, "Sweet Dreams" hits and Dreamo makes his way to the ring.)
David: We're back, and Dreamo is getting ready for action here on Go Time.
Dick: Dreamo looks as tired as always, and he is someone whose career has really suffered as a result of the decimation of the David Caldwell Project a few months ago. He is definitely on a downward spiral.
("The Final Countdown" hits and Bryan Danielson makes his way to the ring.)
David: Bryan Danielson is coming off a huge win in that Two out of Three Falls Match against Nykk, and normally a win of that magnitude would net the American Dragon a title shot, but I'd be willing to bet that he doesn't get one against Ronin Fox anytime soon.
Dick: Dreamo would be smart to take advantage of Danielson, who is certainly still tired from going over forty minutes with Nykk on Saturday. A win here would immediately shoot him into a Contender Star spot.
(FINISH: During the match, Kevin Stone comes out to watch. Danielson gives Dreamo a Regalplex for a two count and then tries to hook in Cattle Mutilation. Dreamo makes it to his feet and breaks free of Danielson, pushing him into the corner. He hits a running forearm and then hits a vertical suplex. He goes to the second rope, but Danielson catches him with a Fujiwara armbar and segues right into Cattle Mutilation. Dreamo taps out after a few moments.)
Winner: Bryan Danielson
David: The American Dragon with a fairly easy victory over the narcoleptic Dreamo, and you know he isn't going to give up on getting a title shot, but what is Stone doing out here?
Dick: I don't know. He's had no beef with Danielson since he helped him out in the Ultimate MECCA Challenge so he has no reason to be out here.
(Danielson walks up the aisle and exchanges a glance with Stone. They walk back through the curtain together. A few moments later, Gail Kim emerges from the back and makes her way to the ring.)
David: Wait a minute, Gail Kim is out here now. She's not scheduled for action tonight.
Dick: She must have something to say about her match with Lisa Letty on Saturday.
(Gail gets a mic.)
Gail: At Punked Out, two women went into this ring, title on the line. We gave it our all, we beat each other to the point of exhaustion and we showed what the ladies' division of MECCA is all about. But then what happened, is I lost. Despite the tactics Lisa Letty has been employing lately, she beat me clean in the middle of the ring. Lisa, you were the better woman on that night, but we both know it could have gone either way and I know in the back of your mind, there is still some doubt. So what I'm asking for is one more title match, next week here on Go Time. If you're any kind of competitor, you'll come out here and accept his challenge because I deserve that Ladies' Title, and I won't stop until I have it.
(Lisa Letty makes her way through the curtain with a mic.)
Lisa: Oh, Gail... I feel so sorry for you coming out here and having to admit that I'm better, but this is old news to me. The fact of the matter is, you went through that Women's World Cup and even after winning, it doesn't mean a damn thing because I'm the one who has what you want. And you had your title shot and failed. So I say no, there will be no rematch, and that's an edict straight from the House of Lords.
Gail: Come on, Lisa, where's that competitive spirit you used to have? It can't be dead and buried completely. Your whole career is based on proving that you belong, and how can you say you truly belong with the tactics you've used and the fact that if not for a change in the wind, I could be wearing that strap right now?
Lisa: You can spare me the big speech, Gail, but you do have a point. I am the First Lady of MECCA, and that means I'm above all the others. And I just had a great idea. A couple of weeks ago you said that if you couldn't win this title, you may not belong here in MECCA. Well, why don't you put your money where your mouth is? Next week you'll get your rematch, but I want your MECCA career on the line. That means when I win, I no longer have to wrestle you, I no longer even have to look at you. You're done. Forever.
Gail: Lisa, I accept that challenge. Because when the chips are down, I always break out and make my mark. Unfortunately for you, the mark I made next week is going to be on your pretty face, but you won't have to worry about seeing it. Because you'll no longer have that belt to look at your reflection. It will be back around my waist.
("Brackish" hits as Lisa stares at Gail and smirks.)
David: Wow, title vs. career next week! I hope Gail knows what she's doing, because these two are so evenly matched that anything could happen. When we come back, the MECCA Champion will be in action, as Ronin Fox teams with Nykk to take on Alan Mayse and Eddie Crowe!
(Commercial Break)
(In the arena, "Did My Time" hits and Ronin Fox and Nykk make their way to the ring.)
David: Two of the founders of the House of Lords are here in Los Angeles, and Fox's grip on the World Title is that much tighter thanks to his friends.
Dick: Kevin Stone did not get the job done at Punked Out, but that leaves the question of who's next to face Fox for the title.
("Noots" hits and Eddie Crowe and Alan Mayse make their way to the ring.)
David: Well, we know that Alan Mayse will be facing the MECCA Champion whoever it may be at Summertime Showdown, thanks to him winning the Eight-Man Throwdown on Saturday. And Eddie's been wanting to get his hands on Fox and Nykk since they conned him out of the title at New Dawn.
Dick: What a tag team encounter this will be. Crowe and Mays were briefly tag team champs together, and we'll see if some of that chemistry remains between them.
(FINISH: Fox goes for Around the World in 18 Seconds on Eddie, but Eddie moves out of the way of the last clothesline. Alan charges Fox with a forearm, but Fox moves out of the way. Nykk charges in with a European uppercut, but this time Alan moves, and Nykk finally eats a running dropkick from Eddie. Fox gives Alan a spinning heel kick, as Eddie lifts Nykk for a northern lights suplex. Fox forearms him in the back and hooks Eddie's head, and he and Nykk deliver a reverse DDT/spinebuster combo. Nykk covers, but Eddie kicks out at two. Fox bounces off the ropes, but Alan pulls the top rope down and Fox tumbles to the outside. Nykk goes for a back suplex but Eddie flips to his feet. Alan gives Nykk a hangman's neckbreaker and pushes him right into Eddie who lifts him for a brainbuster. Eddie and Alan give him a running brainbuster/dropkick combo, and then Alan puts Nykk in a bow-and-arrow lock. Eddie hits the Eddie Dive onto Nykk's exposed torso and covers to get the three count.)
Winners: Eddie Crowe and Alan Mayse
David: Eddie and Alan score a huge victory, and Nykk after all his talking earlier, took the fall for the House of Lords!
Dick: Nykk is not having a good week. First he loses his feud with Bryan Danielson, and now he gets the tar beat out of him by a former MECCA and former RCW Champion.
David: We'll be back after this break, fans!
(Commercial Break)
(Backstage, Eddie Crowe is walking down a hallway. He opens the door the locker room and finds the Pyro Twins inside, having a conversation.)
Eddie: Hey!
Jay: Hey Eddie, what's up?
Eddie: Don't 'what's up' me, Jay. What the hell are you two thinking? You join up with Nykk, the guy who screwed me out of the World Title, and ever since you haven't been returning phone calls, emails or anything. What the hell's going on?
Dusty: Look, Eddie, we had to make a business decision, and Nykk's our friend too. Thanks to him, we're once again tag team champs. We're on top of this place, and we're going to rule MECCA right alongside Nykk, as is our right.
Jay: Eddie, just because we're with Nykk doesn't mean we love you any less. You're still Dusty's friend; you're still my brother. Just don't get in the way of the House of Lords, because you're going to get hurt. And I think that I made it abundantly clear nearly two years ago that I have no problems hurting anyone, even if they are my own brother.
Eddie: So you think I'm going to stand by and let Ronin Fox be champion? Both of you know better. Fine, if that's the way it's going to be... by the way. You're so-called boss just lost to me and Alan. Looks like you've got some new contenders to worry about.
(Eddie leaves the locker room.)
(Elsewhere, Nykk and Fox are nursing their wounds.)
Nykk: Where the hell were you? You could have saved me from that.
Fox: You're the one that said just take the loss if I feel like I'm losing control, and that I'm the champ, I can't afford to get hurt in these incidental matches.
Nykk: Right. Well, with Stone out of the way for the time being, we have to move on. Don't worry; whoever you face, there will be someone out there to make sure that the House of Lords continues to reign supreme over MECCA.
Fox: That's good to...
(Low Ki enters.)
Nykk: Whoa, what are you doing here? Cynric's not here, so you can just...
Ki: I'm not here for Cynric. (holds up the Toughman belt) Months ago, the men who beat you two tonight were arguing over which belt meant more. Your World Title or my Toughman Title. I say that the fact I have this belt makes me the number one contender to your belt, Fox, and I say that at Liberty or Death, we step into the ring and find out just which belt means more. I don't care if it's your title on the line, mine or both. With your victory over Stone, as tainted as it was, it's now my turn and I want what's rightfully mine.
Fox: Okay... you don't demand anything around here. We're the House of Lords. We call the shots. So my answer is definitely NO!
(Fox and Nykk leave.)
(In the arena, "Mercedes" by Puhbare hits and Mercedes Martinez makes her way to the ring.)
David: The House of Lords is up to their usual tricks, sore that they lost to Eddie and Alan in more ways than one. Right now we have a Four Corners match from the ladies' division for you here on Go Time.
Dick: Mercedes Martinez recently made her MECCA debut, and she's been in sort of a rivalry with Daizee Haze ever since then.
("Sensi" hits and Daizee Haze makes her way to the ring.)
David: Speaking of the Haze, she has been on fire lately, not just here on Go Time but on our Internet show Rundown. I hear she's planning to make a serious effort to secure a title shot in the near future.
Dick: She may have to fight Shadow for it, because she's still after the shot she was promised by our Ladies' Champion.
("TKO" hits and Zoe Alexander makes her way to the ring.)
David: We saw Dreamo earlier, but here's another competitor whose career has stalled since the demise of the David Caldwell Project. Zoe was the winner of the first and only Bikini Quest and was supposed to be Caldwell's star lady in David Caldwell Sports Entertainment.
Dick: A win here would definitely get her back into contention to the Ladies' Title she has come close to winning several times before.
("Dance Commander" hits and Heather Star makes her way to the ring.)
David: Heavenly Heather Star is a MECCA mainstay, but she would love to get a win here and move up the card and possibly challenge either Lisa or Gail for the title.
Dick: It's all about the gold, and these ladies know that.
(FINISH: Zoe gives Mercedes a superkick, and she falls through the ropes to the floor. Daizee ascends the top turnbuckle and jumps down onto her with a plancha. As she and Mercedes get up, Zoe dives through the ropes with a tope, hitting them both. They get to their feet, fighting amongst themselves, and Star gets on the top turnbuckle. She hits a Falling Star Press onto all three of them. She rolls Zoe into the ring as Daizee and Mercedes brawl to the back. Zoe pokes her in the eye and whips her into the ropes. She lifts her for the Zoetrope, but Star rolls through with a sunset flip for two. Zoe gets up first and hits a clothesline. She signals that's it and lifts her into a fireman's carry. Star escapes and lifts Zoe onto her shoulders, driving her down with Greetings from Heaven, covering for the three count.)
Winner: Heather Star
David: Star with a hard fought victory after dropping Zoe right on her head.
Dick: Heather Star is serious about proving herself, and she just took a big step right here tonight.
David: Up next is our main event, fans. However unfair it is, we will see a five-on-three handicap match. The House of Lords vs. The UK Wrecking Crew when we come back!
(Commercial Break)
(In the locker room, Lisa Letty is putting some stuff into her bag when Shadow enters.)
Shadow: Lisa...
Lisa: Oh, what? You want your title shot, right? Well, I've got bigger things to worry about, like this rematch with Kim next week. I'm going to put her out of MECCA once and for all, so you just chill until then.
Shadow: Chill nothing, I want what I was promised.
Lisa: What do you want me to do? There's only so much time left in the program this week, and that's going to be for the main event. If you want your title shot, I guess you'd better hope and pray that I'm champion after next week.
(Lisa leaves, and Shadow looks thoughtful.)
(In the arena, "Hold At All Costs" hits and the House of Lords make their way to the ring.)
David: We're back with the five-on-three main event, but look, Nykk and Fox are out here too. They're not even content with the odds they have already.
Dick: Cynric, Joey Sprinklers, Huh and the Pyro Twins will be the ones in the ring, but I guess Nykk and Fox want to be out here to observe.
("Problems" hits and the UK Wrecking Crew make their way to the ring.)
David: Andy Nathans, Jack Fletcher and Tristan Lee definitely do not appreciate the reason why Nykk made this match, but they plan to give it their all nonetheless.
Dick: The House of Lords didn't even bother to conceal the trap. Nykk's the boss, so he just told them it was there and expects them to walk right into it.
(FINISH: Cynric charges Nathans and gets backdropped over the top rope. He and Fletcher then hit Dusty with a clothesline/spear combo, and Lee takes down Jay with a hurricanrana. Nathans and Fletcher go to the top rope for the frog splash/guillotine legdrop combo, but Huh and Joey intercept them. They go up for a double superplex, but Lee charges in and dropkicks them both in the back. That allows Nathans and Fletcher to plant them with a double sunset bomb. However, Cynric is back in and nearly takes Fletcher's head off with a rolling koppo kick. Nathans clotheslines him, but gets caught with Final Darkness from the Pyro Twins. Lee gives the Pyro Twins a double bulldog and then bounces off the ropes to charge Cynric, but Huh trips him from the outside. Cynric hooks him and lifts him for the Shock Cannon. He hits it and covers for the three count.)
Winners: The House of Lords
David: The five members of the House of Lords were just too much for the three members of the UK Wrecking Crew, and Cynric gets the victory for his team.
Dick: It's a happy Fourth of July for the House of Lords I guess, as the oppressors have now been oppressed.
(Nykk and Fox get into the ring to celebrate, and Nykk starts stomping on Fletcher's head. Fox attacks Tristan Lee, and the other members of the House of Lords go to work on the UK Wrecking Crew.)
David: Nykk is just sending a message now. How dare the UKWC claim to be the best faction in MECCA and want to settle it in the ring.
Dick: I think the House of Lords' goal may be to be the only faction in MECCA after tonight.
(Nikki Chandler runs out and slides into the ring. She gives Huh a low blow, and then hooks his head, kicking off of Joey's chest to DDT Huh. However, Lisa Letty runs out and slides into the ring. She nails Nikki with the Ladies' title belt and starts wailing away on her. Nykk goes outside and brings in a table. They set Lee on top of it, and then Nykk sits on the top rope. He tells Fox to feed him Fletcher for a powerbomb, but suddenly none other than Austin Lee comes in through the crowd and enters the ring. He clotheslines Cynric as Lisa ducks out of the ring. Nykk makes a run for it as Fletcher takes over Fox with a headscissors. Fox slides out of the ring as Nathans dropkicks Joey from behind, sending him through the ropes. Huh tries to run, but Austin grabs him. He picks him up for a powerbomb, and Tristan catches him with a neckbreaker on the way down, and they put him through the table as the House of Lords watch from the aisle.)
David: It's Austin Lee! The last champion of RCW is here in MECCA, and Nykk looks like he's seen a ghost!
Dick: It's good for the UKWC that their fellow countryman came to their aid, because they were quickly on their way to an extended hospital stay. I can't believe Austin Lee is here!
David: Is he in MECCA now? I don't think Nykk would have hired him. I guess we'll have to find out next week. We'll see you then, fans!
