Rundown Results:
Mark Briscoe b. Huh
Ryan Andrews b. Human Tornado
Heather Star b. Mercedes Martinez
Killer Kanines b. Cynric/Schneble
("Neocon" opening.)
David: Welcome to Memphis, Tennessee, fans, as MECCA presents Go Time! I'm David Mills, along with Dick Broccoli, and as we saw at Scared Stiff, neither Bryan Danielson or Eddie Crowe were part of the House of Lords after all, though that didn't stop them from getting involved in the title match. Bryan Danielson is still the World Champion, but he and Eddie now have a mutual respect for each other. And tonight they will team in the main event against Nykk and Ronin Fox!
Dick: Also, representatives from two top contending teams will battle it out with one half of the tag team champs in singles competition. It will be a Triangle Match between Dusty Schneble, Mark Briscoe and Delirious!
David: Plus Cynric will take on Matt Sydal and much more to come on Go Time.
("Seven Nation Army" hits and Alan Mayse makes his way to the ring.)
David: Alan Mayse, the reason all of us were able to doubt to upstanding individuals like Eddie Crowe and Bryan Danielson, has sworn to make his presence felt right here tonight.
Dick: Alan is definitely looking for another title match with Bryan Danielson, but only if he can somehow convince Katie Piehl to give a shot to a House of Lords member.
("At the End of the Rainbow" hits and Kevin Stone makes his way to the ring.)
David: What a huge match to kick off Go Time with, as Stone is just coming off a title match from a couple weeks ago.
Dick: He needs to get back into the thick of things, as he also was finally dethroned in the Stiff Strike Challenge this past Saturday, by none other than Jamie Chan.
(FINISH: Stone goes for the Monster Bomb, but Alan manages to slide between his legs and bounces off the ropes, only to be met with a big boot. Stone goes for the Stone Cutter, but Mayse lands on his feet and pushes Stone into the ropes. He kicks him and goes for the Tiger Bomb, but Stone lifts him up and drives him into the corner. He backs up and charges, but Mayse gives him an enzugiri, sending him head first into the top turnbuckle. Stone staggers, and Mayse is able to deliver the Tiger Bomb this time for the pin.)
Winner: Alan Mayse
David: Alan is your winner, and someone to keep an eye on in the title hunt right now.
Dick: He had a classic encounter with Danielson back at At Your Own Risk, and came very close to the title. Maybe one more chance is all he needs.
David: We'll be right back with more MECCA action.
(In the locker room, Shadow is polishing the Ladies' Title while Lisa Letty looks on.)
Lisa: I have to admit, Shadow, after all our battles, I didn't think you could do it. But you took Shelirious, twisted her into a pretzel and got rid of her for good and brought a title back to the House of Lords. But let me ask you... back in July, I was gracious enough to grant you a shot when I held the belt, so I have to ask: when do I get my title shot?
Shadow: Gracious? I practically had to walk across hot coals to get that title shot from you. But you know what, we can talk about that. For now, I'm just going to...
(Mercedes Martinez enters.)
Mercedes: Shadow. Listen, since you seem so keen on giving your friends title shots, and you know we've joined forces a couple of times now. I think I'm ready to get a shot at the Ladies' Title.
Shadow: You're not ready. I decide who's ready, and not only do you presume based on the fact that we've teamed up a little, but you're not part of the House of Lords like Lisa. I don't think so.
Mercedes: Let me rephrase that. I want a title shot, and I want it soon. And there won't be nothing you can do to stop me from becoming the Ladies' Champion.
(She shoves Shadow down to the floor, and Lisa slaps Mercedes across the face. Mercedes turns to Lisa and drives her back into the lockers. Shadow attacks from behind, however, and they beat down Mercedes until Sara Del Rey comes in with a chair. She swings it at Lisa, who ducks and she and Shadow hightail it.)
Del Rey: Just what is your problem anyway, Shadow? You'd better get used to being challenged, because we're all coming after you now!
(Commercial Break)
(In the arena, "Hybrid Stigmata" hits and Delirious makes his way to the ring.)
David: It's time for triangle action as one half of the MECCA Tag Team Champions runs down to ringside. Delirious and Matt Sydal got past the Surgeons at Scared Stiff after a brilliant tag team encounter.
Dick: Delirious and Matt Sydal have proven to be a very effective team, and who would have ever knew?
("Burning Times" hits and Dusty Schneble makes his way to the ring.)
David: Dusty Schneble and Jay Crowe are coming off a huge victory over the Briscoes at Scared Stiff and certainly believe that they should be next in line for the tag titles.
Dick: They still have that stigma of being with the House of Lords against them, though, and that could definitely hurt their chances.
("Gimme Back My Bullets" hits and Mark Briscoe makes his way to the ring.)
David: Mark, the younger of the Briscoes, stands to gain a lot for his team in a match like this.
Dick: His brother Jay pinned Delirious last week. Can Mark do the same, or is he after Dusty in this match for some measure of revenge?
(FINISH: Delirious lifts Mark for a suplex, but drops him over the top rope. He headbutts Mark, but he avoids a second one and drives a shoulder into Delirious's stomach. He springboards back into the ring over Delirious's back and goes to bounce off the ropes, only to be backdropped to the floor by Dusty. Delirious charges, but Dusty picks him up and charges to the opposite side of the ring, going for the Rope Burn I. Delirious catches himself on the top rope and then kicks Dusty hard in the face. He gives Dusty the Chemical Imbalance #2 as Mark goes to the top rope. He breaks up the pin attempt with a shooting star press and rolls Delirious off. He covers Dusty for the three count.)
Winner: Mark Briscoe
David: Once again, the Briscoes are victorious in singles competition and it's certainly a good argument on just which team should get the title shot. Both the Pyro Twins and the Briscoes have singles victories over the tag champs, the Pyro Twins beat the Briscoes at Scared Stiff, yet Mark just pinned Dusty right here.
Dick: It's definitely a situation to keep an eye on.
David: We understand that due to the scuffle in the ladies' locker room, there is going to be a tag team match and it's up next. Shadow and Lisa Letty will take on the team of Sara Del Rey and Mercedes Martinez when we return!
(In the locker room, Bryan Danielson is arriving with his gear. He puts his bag in a locker and lays the belt across a bench. Eddie Crowe enters, and he and Danielson stare at each other. Eddie looks at the belt and then at Danielson. He offers his hand, and Danielson shakes it.)
Eddie: If it isn't the champ himself. You know, after Scared Stiff, I have to say that I have newfound respect for you. Not only did you turn out to be a man of your word, you took me to the limit, and came out the victor. I'll be back in the hunt for that title soon, but in the meantime, congratulations.
Danielson: Thank you, Eddie, and I have to apologize for doubting you all these weeks when you said you weren't a part of the House of Lords. Now that our business is finished for now, we can concentrate on something important, and that's taking down the House of Lords together.
Eddie: And it starts tonight. We've got Nykk and Fox in the ring at the same time. You know, it's always been said that if you want to kill a snake, you chop of the head. We can't do that with the House of Lords, because if anything it is a multi-headed snake. But we have the chance to chop off two of those heads tonight, and when we do, Nykk, Fox, the House of Lords is going down once and for all.
Danielson: And no matter who comes at me next for this belt, whether it's a House of Lords member or not, this past weekend I beat the unbeatable, the man who only lost this belt to begin with because of Nykk and Fox and their shenanigans. And if Eddie couldn't take it from me, I don't think there's a single person out there who can.
(Commercial Break)
(In the arena, "Gangsta Bitch" hits and Shadow and Lisa Letty make their way to the ring.)
David: As you can see, fans, we have a new Ladies' Champion as of Scared Stiff, as Shadow regained the belt for a third time after beating Shelirious. Right now she teams up with the former golden ace of the House of Lords, Lisa Letty.
Dick: The House of Lords is back at the helm of the ladies' division, but Shadow has no shortage of challengers in line for that belt.
("Alcoholocaust" hits and Sara Del Rey and Mercedes Martinez make their way to the ring.)
David: Shadow and Lisa attacked Mercedes earlier after she had the "gall" to make a challenge for the ladies' belt, and Del Rey came to her rescue, prompting Martinez to team with one of her rivals right here tonight.
Dick: It's time for Mercedes to step up if she is indeed serious about challenging for the Ladies' Title. But Sara Del Rey wants that belt as well.
(FINISH: Del Rey hits a tope onto Shadow on the outside as Lisa gives Mercedes a swinging neckbreaker. She goes out after Del Rey and rams her into the guardrail as Shadow gets back in the ring to distract the ref. Lisa goes under the ring and produces a pair of handcuffs and handcuffs Sara to the bottom rope. She then pulls a pair of brass knuckles out of her tights and blasts Del Rey in the face. She gets on the apron to converse with Shadow, but Mercedes hits a double dropkick, sending Lisa back to the floor. Mercedes rolls Shadow up with an inside cradle for a two count. She gives Shadow a spinebuster and signals for the fisherman's buster. Lisa gets back in the ring with the brass knuckles still on and tries to clock Mercedes. She ducks and sends Lisa down with a big boot. However, Shadow grabs her by the hair and applies the Dragon Sleeper. She falls back into the body scissors, and Mercedes taps out.)
Winners: Shadow and Lisa Letty
David: Shadow and Lisa win it, but how fair is that? Lisa just handcuffed Del Rey to the bottom rope and as if that wasn't enough, knocked her out with brass knuckles. Who do you think did that, ref? It wasn't one of the fans!
Dick: These two work well together, and put away the first time combo of Del Rey and Martinez. But it's still your typical House of Lords shenanigans as they try to protect the only title they have left in their camp.
(As Mercedes gets up, Shadow puts the boots to her. She holds her up for Lisa to blast with the brass knuckles, but suddenly a woman jumps the barricade and gets in the ring, standing behind Lisa.)
David: Oh my... that's Naomi Leach! What the hell is she doing here!?
(Shadow drops Mercedes and backs away. Lisa turns around in confusion and gets blasted with a right hand. She gives Lisa an inverted atomic drop, followed by a hangman's neckbreaker. Shadow moves in and starts hitting her with forearms and tries to whip her into the ropes. Naomi pulls Shadow in and gives her a DDT, segueing right into the Leach Hold. Shadow wastes no time in tapping out, but Lisa grabs her ankle from the outside and pulls her to safety. Lisa and Shadow back up the ramp as Naomi tells them to bring their butts back to the ring.)
David: We haven't seen Naomi Leach since the demise of RCW! The rumors have been flying as to where she's been since then. Some say she's been in Japan, others say she was under a developmental deal, but now she's here in MECCA!
Dick: And I've got to say this doesn't bode well for Lisa Letty or Shadow, because Naomi was the dominant female in RCW, and it looks like she's come to reclaim her spot here in MECCA!
(Naomi helps Mercedes up as officials finally free Sara Del Rey, and then gets a mic.)
Leach: For those of you who don't know me, let me introduce myself... my name is Naomi Leach! And trust me, Shadow and Lisa know me very well. Almost three years ago, I disappeared from the wrestling public eye. And in that time, MECCA has risen to become one of the premier organizations in this country, and when I called Katie Piehl, the first thing I told her is that this organization needs a premier competitor! I was the first RCW Ladies' Champion, and you can rest assured that I will become the next MECCA Ladies' Champion. And Shadow, when I take your title, I will sit atop the mountain and anyone who wants to try to stop me will be drained lifeless! Because I am the Premier, and when our careers intertwine, your glory becomes mine!
(Naomi puts down the mic and exits the ring, walking to the back while posing for the fans.)
David: Naomi Leach has made her MECCA debut out of nowhere, and what a welcome addition to the ladies' division. We understand that we have Bill Bicknell standing by with Anubis.
(Backstage, Bill Bicknell is with Anubis.)
Bill: Anubis, you requested this time based on something Bryan Danielson said earlier. Do you care to elaborate your thoughts to the audience?
Anubis: I'm sitting in the back, and I hear Danielson going on about how since he beat Eddie, no one can take that title away from him. Well, I beg to differ. I'm the man who is a former two-time tag team champ. I'm the man who would be Toughman Champion if not for Ronin Fox, who I beat within an inch of his life at Scared Stiff. And congratulations to my partner for claiming the Toughman Title right after that, but all that did was fuel my need for some gold of my own. Danielson, I've proven that I can beat the cream of the crop here in MECCA, and that means the next step is you. I want that World Title, and you don't have to look over your shoulder to find me, because I'll be coming at you head on.
(Commercial Break)
(In the office, Katie Piehl is looking bored as Nykk rambles on.)
Nykk: And furthermore, I think that both Danielson and Eddie should be suspended for putting their hands on me at Scared Stiff. I was nothing more than an impartial observer. But that's not the reason I'm here. Last week, my good friend Jay Crowe got back on the Contender Star with a win over Matt Sydal, and I think it's about time that he got a title shot at Bryan Danielson.
Katie: So you think Jay deserves a title shot?
Nykk: The House of Lords has not gotten a shot at regaining the title that is rightfully ours in over a month now. Jay is the newest member of the Contender Star, and I want him in a title match with Danielson next week.
Katie: Okay.
Nykk: He deserves this shot. I'm not leaving until... wait, what did you say?
Katie: I said okay. I think it's a brilliant idea. Right here next week, the World Title on the line, Bryan Danielson vs. Jay Crowe.
Nykk: Well, I guess, um... you're up to something. You guarantee Jay vs. Danielson for the title next week?
Katie: No strings attached. He earned it.
Nykk: Uh... I don't know what you're playing at, but I'll be back to figure it out later.
(He storms out of the office.)
(In the arena, "Soul Creation" hits and Cynric makes his way to the ring.)
David: We have a title match for next week, as Bryan Danielson will defend against Jay Crowe of the Pyro Twins, and I thought that Katie Piehl wasn't going to let the House of Lords anywhere near title shots if she could help it.
Dick: Like it or not, they have some talented people. You can only keep them at bay for so long.
("Clavicle" hits and Matt Sydal makes his way to the ring.)
David: Matt Sydal wants his Contender Star spot back, so he's up against Cynric tonight. And Cynric is now without the Toughman Title, so he's going to hand onto that spot with everything he has.
Dick: Cynric has to be angry that the Wild Wolf is now the Toughman Champion, but he'd better be careful or we could see an upset right here.
(FINISH: Sydal hits the Here It Is Driver, but Cynric manages to get a foot on the bottom rope at the two count. Sydal whips Cynric into the corner and goes for a step up knee strike, but Cynric counters into a modified dragon screw. Sydal hits the mat, and Cynric gives him the Lift Off. He covers and gets the three count.)
Winner: Cynric
David: Cynric is able to keep strong with a big victory, and he might be going after the title himself if Jay fails to win it next week.
Dick: That would certainly be a match worth seeing.
David: When we come back, it will be the main event. Nykk and Ronin Fox will take on Eddie Crowe and the World Champion Bryan Danielson when we return!
(Commercial Break)
(Backstage, the Pyro Twins are in the catering area.)
Dusty: So I just heard the news, Jay. You ready?
Jay: Of course. Next week I'm taking down Bryan Danielson in the name of the House of Lords and claiming my spot at the top of MECCA. But don't worry, we're still going after the tag titles. We beat the Briscoes at Scared Stiff, we're the number one contenders. After next week...
(Katie Piehl enters.)
Katie: Sorry to burst your bubble, Jay, but I've decided that next week on Go Time the tag titles will also be on the line. And since you'll be too busy to claim your title shot, I've decided for once to go with the number two contenders for the belts. So next week, Delirious and Matt Sydal will defend against Jay and Mark, the Briscoes!
Dusty: Whoa, whoa, wait a minute!
Jay: That's not fair!
Katie: You're right, it's not. But don't worry, Jay. You can still have your tag title shot. But you can't have that and the World Title shot. The choice is yours. I'll be waiting for your answer.
(She leaves.)
Dusty: You've got to cancel this match with Danielson...
Jay: No way. This is my shot at a World Title...
(Nykk enters.)
Nykk: Guys, guys, I just overheard. Listen, I have a match right now, but we'll take care of this later. Right now, we just stay the course. Dusty, any team worth their weight has to beat the Pyro Twins to be the true tag team champs. You guys will get your shot. I promise you that.
(Elsewhere, Bill Bicknell is standing by with Jamie Chan.)
Bill: Jamie, congratulations on winning the Stiff Strike Challenge this past Saturday, pinning the man who won the past two years, Kevin Stone. What's next for you?
Chan: I told all the fans not to underestimate me, Bill, and look what happened. Two years ago, Kevin Stone used that win to propel himself to the World Title and I'm itching to prove myself as well. So from now on, I'm facing only the best competition MECCA has to offer. And when you all find yourselves flat on your back with two knees coming straight down onto your chest, you will not know what hit you, and your new star will be Jamie Chan.
(In the arena, "The Final Countdown" hits and Bryan Danielson and Eddie Crowe make their way to the ring.)
David: Danielson and Crowe are two of the best wrestlers MECCA has to offer, and after a month of strife, they're finally on the same page after their classic title match at Scared Stiff.
Dick: Eddie still wants that belt back, but he acknowledges that someone finally defeated him fair and square in a title match, and for now his goal seems to be the obliteration of the House of Lords.
("Third Reich from the Sun" hits and Nykk and Ronin Fox make their way to the ring.)
David: Nykk was outsmarted by Katie Piehl earlier, as she has given Jay Crowe a title match with Danielson next week, but in doing so, he has to forfeit the Pyro Twins' rightful shot at the tag titles.
Dick: That could backfire, as one should never underestimate Jay Crowe's chances. But it still seems as if the House of Lords is losing control of the situation in MECCA very rapidly.
(FINISH: Danielson gives Nykk a backbreaker and holds him, as Eddie hits the Eddie Dive. He covers, but Fox makes the save. Danielson gives Fox a European uppercut and whips him into the ropes, but Fox holds on. Danielson charges and Fox backdrops him. Danielson lands on the apron, but Fox hits an enzugiri and Danielson falls to the floor. Fox dives onto him with a tope as Eddie goes for the running brainbuster on Nykk. Nykk escapes and goes for the Trinity, but Eddie blocks the dragon suplex and goes behind Nykk to hit the Backslide Bomb. Nykk backs into the corner and Eddie charges in for the dropkick, but Fox is back in and gives him a spinning heel kick. He sets up Eddie, and he and Nykk hit the End. Nykk covers and gets the three count.)
Winners: Nykk and Ronin Fox
David: Nykk and Fox pick up the victory, and the House of Lords has proven themselves far from dead.
Dick: This is definitely a good omen for them, as they position themselves to once again have a member as MECCA Champion.
David: We have a huge edition of Go Time next week, as Bryan Danielson defends the title against Jay Crowe and Sydal and Delirious put the tag titles up for grabs against the Briscoes. We'll see you then, fans!
